BOARD OF EDUCATION George Marshall Donald Cook C. C. McCreary W. F. Dentzer George H. Davis Clara L. Hetzler Elmer Otto MR. FARLEY MR. WHITE MR. FARLEY One good reason why our school always runs so smoothly is our principal, Mr. Farley. We can't begin to list his numer- ous duties but his utmost thought is the welfare of the stu- dents and teachers. lt is mainly through his well-directed efforts that our football games and all the hundred and one details that go with them function smoothly. Mr. Farley always has one ear to the ground, figuratively speaking, keeping a sharp look-out for new and interesting assembly programs. These are always appreciated because a good assembly program seems to start the day right. When the members of the class of '42 look back on their high school clays, they will always remember Mr. Farley and the many fine things he did for them. He helped guide them so that when the time came for them to enter the world of work, their new life was just a continuation of the old. MR. WHITE T. A. White, our assistant principal of Rochester High School, should be better known as Public Love Investigator No. l. T. A. can find out more about the students than anyone else around the school. Besides teaching American History and Problems of Democracy, he finds time to help Mr. Farley in the office. This year T. A. was in charge of the excuses brought in by the students and we know he did a good job of this. He is also Senior Class Adviser. 11

MR. HARTLEY Mr. Hartley is our biology teacher. He tells us he is a pessimist but we all know he has a keen sense of humor and is usually in a good mood. If any snakes should get away, don't be frightened, for we always have old faithful to catch them and bring 'em back alive. Turtle Creek High School and Musk- ingum College were the scenes of Mr. Hart- ley's school days. He holds his B.S. degree. MRS. GIBSON Many people in the business world today owe their good training to Mrs. Gibson. The commercial subjects taught by her are typing, shorthand, and office practice. Mrs. Gibson is an alumna of New Brighton High School and Indiana State Teachers College where she received her B.S. degree. She attended the University of Wisconsin and has her Master of Education degree from the University of Pitts- burgh. MISS MILLER European history and mathematics are the subjects taught by Miss Miller. For several years she has been sponsor of the Junior Class and has helped to make many of their projects successful. Miss Miller graduated from Free- dom High School and the University of Pitts- burgh, where she received her A.B. degree. MR. EARL FARLEY Mr. Earl Farley heads our mathematics de- partment. He can answer and work almcst any problem given him. Among the subjects he teaches are algebra Il, plane and solid geometry, and mechanical drawing. Besides all this, he is business adviser of the Oracle. Mr. Farley graduated from Lewisburg High School and received his B.S. degree from Blaomsburg State Teachers College. He also attended Pitt, where he earned his M.Ed de- gree. MISS VEIOCK A newcomer to Rochy High this year is Miss Veiock, who came up from Junior High School. She instructs the Sophs in their Latin and the Juniors in English. She attended New Brighton High School and Grove City College, where she received her A.B. degree. We hope that this year in high school has been a very pleas- ant one for Miss Veiock. MR. REPMAN Peace and quiet reign once again in the high school since the band practices across the street. Our able band director also directs the chorus which provides us with many fine programs. Along with the band and chorus, he finds time to direct the orchestra and the boys' quartet. Mr. Repman is an alumnus of New Castle High School, Geneva College, Columbia University and the Julliard School of Music. He has his A.B., B.M., and M.A. degrees. MR. VON PHILP Von Philp, our chemistry teacher, can gen- erally be seen with a group of his students gathered around him with test tubes, Bunsen burners, or anything concerning a chemistry experiment. Besides chemistry, Von teach- es physics. This year he played the role of policeman on guard in the hall, seeing that no loitering was done by the students. Ben- wood High School, Salem College, and Pitt were honored by his attendance. He has ob- tained his B.S. and M,Ed. degrees. MISS WITHROW Even though the students grumble and growl at the hard work Miss Withrow, our English teacher, gives, we appreciate her ef- forts. Miss Withrow always has a good worcl for her students who try to do their best work. Miss Withrow is a graduate of our good old Alma Mater and the University of Pittsburgh. She holds her B.S. and M.Litt. degrees. MR. MEYER Mr. Meyer is our coach in football. Every year, regardless of the material, a fine team appears on our field. This must be what has made Rochester the most football conscious town in the valley. Mr. Meyer is a graduate of Rochester High School and Geneva College. He attended the University of Pittsburgh for Phy. Ed. and holds his B.S. degree.
