Mr. Barner is a very accomplished mu- sician, and has entertained us several times in assembly. Mr. Barnerls degrees are AB., lVl.A., B.M., and M.M. We, the seniors, the class of 1945, will always remember him as a very enthu- siastic and cooperative leader. MR. FARLEY Mr. Farley is our very capable princi- pal. Really, he is much more than a mere principal-he is a friend and a strong pillar to all. His spirit and enthu- siasm for the football and basketball teams, buying war stamps and bonds, and welcoming our boys in the service when they come home is contagious.

SUPHUMURE ClASS HISTURY Another one hundred eighty days have rolled by and as members of the sophomore class, we are now prepared to make our debut into the junior class. As greenies last fall, we re- ceived a great deal of the traditional hazing from our distinguished upperclassmen, the graduating seniors. In October, with humorous campaign speeches, We elected our class officers and finally organized our class. Under the ex- cellent leadership of our president and aides, we now feel that we have learned the significance of being senior high students and have progressed enough to move up one more rung on the ladder of education. We were fortunate in the fact that a couple of our boys were represented on the football and basketball teams. The girls won recognition with their membership to the Tri-Hi-Y and various other organizations. Now that we have earned the ri hr to move u to the di ni- S P g hed junior class, we shall again in the fall turn our attention to our studies and to 'lhazingy' the oncoming sophomore class. -21- Row 1: Skvltml.

TRI-HI-Y The purpose of the Tri-Hi-Y is to create, maintain, and ex- tend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. It is a club composed of girls who stand for Christian ideals, possess leadership ability, who are popular with other girls, be- lieve in the club purpose and principles and are willing to give the organization the time needed. It is one of the most popular and active clubs in the school. This group of girls enjoys working for the benefit of others, and yet at the proper time, is always ready to engage in such social affairs as dances, parties, and benefit shows. These girls have helped in many worthy causes such as mak- ing Christmas menus for the Navy and folding seals for the Tuber- culosis League. They also put on an amusing assembly program to boost the paper salvage drive, and decorated Easter eggs for the patients of the Rochester General Hospital. The Tri-Hi-Y sponsored the annual Bible Study Contest with members participating in the program. For fun they had a W. P. A. Dance in the gym where the girls paid for everything. It was one of the most successful dances of the year and was enjoyed by all. President ,,,,, OFFICERS Vice President ,,,,,,, ,, Secretary ,,,,,,,...

The band has put across that old pep and vigor that is so essential to our school. . On the football field the band has shown its talents by clever specialties that they staged. One of these was The Dumb Drum- lVlajor. They also made letters and unique patterns on the foot- ball field between the halves at the games. The annual band banquetywas again enjoyed by all members in the American Legion Home. The band also presented a minstrel and a spring concert which proved the versatility of the band in two widely contrasting events. This ends the three years of marching and twirling for our drum-major and four majorettes. Everyone agrees that the major- ettes aid in the appearance of the band, and so after much dif- ficulty Mr. Caputo has been able to choose four new ones who he thinks should please everyone. No one realizes the sacrifices a band member must make dur- ing the year, and the high school thanks you, band members, for your loyal school spirit. ...gg- MIRA HOT DOG GIRLS Any more hot dogs ready?U Give me a bunln Hurry up, fill my basket so I can go. Those are familiar phrases in the kitchen where the hot dogs were made. This year, due to the candy shortage, hot dogs were sold to raise money for the Mirage. With the help and advice of Miss Naugle, our Home Economics teacher, it was a big success. Cooperation on the part of the girls and their wil- lingness to work proved a great factor in making the hot dog sale the success it was. It wasn't an easy or an enjoyable job to sell those hot dogs. The girls ignored the pessimistic persons, and in this way they were able to overcome all the problems that arose. The long and tireless work of the girls will always be remembered. We of the Mirage Staff wish to thank the girls for their splendid work, lVliss Naugle for her fine supervision, and Mrs. Racinger for the use of her home. They have helped a great deal to make the Mirage this year the Hne book it is. Row 1: Steele, Weaver, Miss Naugle, Mignanelli. Row 2: Racinger, Beglin, Wallace, Walther.

POP KIDS Pop Kidsn-doesn,t sound very familiar and it isn't, for this is the first time in Rochy's history that pop has been sold as a sep- arate project, Its success was due to the unselfish efforts of those who watched over the pop till game time, those who sold it, and those who gathered the empty bottles. Little would have been ac- complished without the harmony and cooperation shown by all. We of the Senior Class and Mirage Staff wish to thank Miss With- row for her willing, capable supervisiong and all those who assisted, for their contribution to the publishing of the Mirage. ,-- 27 , , CHEERLEADERS Row 1: Scherer, Fisher, Row 2: Sayre, Caputo. Row 3: Pierce, Ferguson. Row 4: Sheline, Hood. Fame has been won on the football field and the basketball floor, but without the efforts of our cheerleaders victory coulcln't be won. Through thick and thin or howling gale the echos of our cheerleaders ring through the crowd. Each week they carefully plan for Friday,s pep- meeting. When the day of the big game rolls around. pep, vim, and vigor are added to the crowd with Gloria7s pep talks, Donna's encour- agement, and Audrey's pep, spurred on by the enthusiasm of the five newcomers: Eleanor Fisher, Norma Ferguson, Shirley Pierce, and the two masculine members, Sonny,' Hood and Otis Sheline. Despite snow, sleet, rain, or hail, the blue and white clad figures of our faithful group can always be seen. Football season passes swiftly, but the work of the cheerleaders never ceases. Their thoughts are soon turned toward basketball season, when their work increases with two games a week: Our gal- lant crew has a difficult job to find bigger and better cheers, planning pep meetings, and urging fellow students to back up the squad. They closed the season with their hard cheering at the championship game. FOOTBALL MANAGERS I-leuring, Swearinger, Alberts, Klinglehoefer, Geist. And now we come to that little-known, but vital branch of the football team, the managers. They are the ones who do the work which keeps the team going. Their jobs range anywhere from lining off the field and changing cleats before the games, to checking equipment and giving first aid to cuts and bruises. Although the boys didn't have a senior manager, who is the natural leader, the two junior managers, Sonny I-Ieuring and Eugene Geist, both back from last year, took over the job of running the managing staff, along with the splendid cooperation of Sarge Alberts, Chuck Tarazano, Dick Klinglehoefer, and Jim Swear- inger. We can hardly say too much for these boys who are as vitally interested in the game as any foot- ball player, and who are willing to perform their tedious tasks for the sake of winning the game and not for hope of glory. MIRAGE HZS- 1945 OUR COACHES .A-.. .... rx, iz COACHES EARL, VON, and ERNIE Co-coaches Ernie Meyer and Earl Ewing are the backbone of our football team. They are the ones who teach the boys the fundamentals which in later life prove to be very valuable. Rochy High would lack a great deal without the serv- ices of these two Geneva Grads. They have given to Rochy many teams and records of which everyone can be proud. The record shows that this year we did not gain much in the victory column, but every game was hard fought and well played. A lot of credit should be given to our coaches. Ernie and Earl are always for the boys. They both have patience which is very valuable to a coach. Thatls the kind of coaches that Rochy High has and of whom we should be very proud. Mr. von Philp is indispensable to both Ernie and Earl. He is the one who helps to form a championship team. Venn has a tough job, but he handles it very well. He receives the raw material and then produces a reserve team which has a very good chance for varsity football. The services of Von,' should not be overlooked. Ernie. Earl, and Von are always pulling for the team. These are our coaches and a lot of credit is due them. y -29- Row 1: Collins, McDonald, Werthmann, Leonburg, Clayton, Mike, Burg, Parilli, Supak, Grdnic, Rager.

A team must have teamwork to succeed in winning games. A team that works together cannot be beaten. Football is a game with plenty of razzle-dazzle action, thrilling forward passes, booming high punts, and weaving and twisting runs. Plenty of this type of action was displayed by our team this year. Football attracts larger crowds than any other sport played in our high school. It is becoming more and more popular every year. M30- ROCHESTER RAMS SWAMP NEWELL The Rochester Rams, defending Beaver County champions, trounced the Wells High School eleven of Newell, W. Va., by the score of 50-0. Six of the victor's many backfield men broke into the scoring column, tallying eight times. Dick Rager and Wade Rall counting two apiece, and Rubbo, Supak, Burg, and Pascuzzi with one each. Newell received the opening kickoff but was forced to punt. The Ram drive started from the opponent 30. A pass, Parilli to Burg, was car- ried to the 13. Rubbo scored on a line buck. Burg made a 41-yard sprint and Supak hit pay- dirt on a quarterback sneak. Rager ran 36 yards in the second period for the third touchdown. Rall intercepted a pass and raced 45 yards for another tally. In the third canto, Rager ended a Ram drive by scoring from the two. Burg jaunted 5 yards around end for another score. Rall went 50 yards for another score, but he actually ran it three times, being called back twice on penalties. Frank Pascuzzi, substitute, halfback, scored in the last quarter, which was played by second and third stringers. Never once resorting to punting, the Junction City eleven led in first downs, 15-3. , Laci JUNCTION CITY ELEVEN ROUTS LEOPARDS Rochester Rams defeated Midland 40 to 7 for their second victory in as many starts. Ed Supak, Ram signal caller, took scoring honors with one touchdown and four extra point conversions via the placement route. The Junction City lads chalked up 13 first downs and gave only 5. In the first quarter the Rams rolled up four straight first downs but fumbled on the 20. Later Parilli ran 18 yards to the 24, and then scored on a reverse. Parilli intercepted a pass in the second canto and sprinted to the Leopard 15. Rubbo scored from the 1-yard. Early in the second half Grdnic recovered a Midland fumble on the Leopard 25. Ossie Burg rounded end' to tally. Rager raced 22 yards for another score. Supak intercepted a pass and shrugged off tackler after tackler for 35 yards and another touchdown. Midland's halfback, Felix Grant, made the longest run of the evening. He ran 64 yards be- fore Jock', McDonald and Os Burg hauled him ln. In the last stanza Andreas tossed a pass to jules Ancrile, end, for the only Leopard score. Wade Rall turned in a neat 30-yard jaunt for the last Ram score of the evening. 0 mal... -31 I insi- Oscar Burg Bud Clayton Frank Grdnic Charles Leonberg JAY McDONALD, H-'ljockw was a regular member of the Ram line this year. Last year he alternated at center but switched to tackle this season. He proved to be an ace. lVlac,' was always there to offer interference to a pass receiver or runner. Rochy will remember how he saved his teammates many a pileup. ABE MIKE, I-Abe was the big noise of the Rams this year. His voice was always heard above the din. He displayed a ferocity that threw his opponents back. Although this was Abieis first varsity year, he showed that he had airy, EDWARD SUPAK, II-'tSupe was the brains and signal-caller this year. His blocking and occasional appearance in the scoring column excited everyone. He also displays such femi- nine appeal that he is known to everyone. Rochy is indebted to big, rugged Ed for his fine brand of football. JACK WERTHMAN, II- Bulb, has played just about every position on the Rochy forward wall but stuck to the end this year. Due to injuries and ineligibility he was not a frequent starter but enough to display his bull-like ferocity. Good-luck, Jack, we are sure youill come out on top. OSCAR BURG, I1Small but mighty and plenty more, that describes 'iOsw. NOSH played half back and saw plenty of action this year. Show- ing his talents by his long runs, he never failed to thrill the crowd. OSH proved to be a valu- able asset to the Rams and will be sorely missed. ROBERT CLAYTON, Uv-This was Bud's second year at the varsity snapperback post, and he held down the job without need of help, He played a steady game and pulled Rochy out of the hole with interceptions. Rochy won't forget you, Bud . FRANK GRDNIC, IH-- Crow was a three-year letterman for Rochy and he deserved it. His de- fensive position at left end was always the spot for action. His ability to mow down inter- ference and catch the ball carrier never failed to thrill fans. Frank holds an all-county berth and leaves quite a gap in the Rochy lineup. CHARLES LEONBERG, II-Charlie was a 'QRomeo,' to the women, who emitted cries of delight when he made his appearance. His size proved a valuable asset and he stopped many an enemy thrust. Rochy will surely miss Charlie, Jay McDonald Abe Mike Edward Supak Jack Werthman l Q .ana K, Mmm... VETERAN ELLWOOD DOWNS ROCHESTER The Junction City gridders suffered a Z6 to 6 defeat at the hands of the Ellwood City Wolver- ines on the latter's field. ,The fast charging Wolverines pushed across their first score after a Ram fumble, Bill McClin- tick, a speedy back, scoring. A twenty yard pass, Desport to Manauzzi, gave McClintick another touchdown from the 1-yard stripe. In the second period the Rams held for downs on the nine-yard line, and Grdnic punted. Mc- Clintick took the punt, and scored his third touchdown behind beautiful blocking. The half ended, 20-0, Ellwood. The Rams showed better results in the second half, but neither side scored in the third period. Little Ossie Burg raced 35 yards to the Ellwood 27. Then Parilli passed from the 13 to Vic Rubbo for the only Ram score. Leon Presto took a pass for a touchdown, and the fourth time Ellwood reached paydirt. Par- illi intercepted a pass to end another Wolverine scoring threat. CRIMSON AND GOLD TOP RAMS The Blue and White suffered their second set- back at Oak Hill field, New Brighton. The Brighton eleven, with A1 Peluso bearing the brunt of the attack, took the contest by the score of 19-0. The Crimson led in first downs, 14 to 4. The Rams received the opening kick-off. Later in the first quarter, the Rams had the ball on their own 4, due to a Crimson punt from the 35. Vic Rubbo attempting a lateral, and the ball was fumbled, Brighton recovering. They pushed across the goal line in a few attempts and con- verted the point to lead 7-0. In the second period, after marching 53 yards, the Brighton eleven tallied six more points, with Peluso scoring from the two yard line. They threatened again but were stopped on the 20-yard marker. The Crimson and Gold mixed in a few passes the second half, and moved to the 18. A long pass, Edwards to Ellis, was good for another touchdown. - Now the Rams began to show consistent gains, around end and through the line, reaching the enemy 42. But Vic Rubbo fumbled and lost the ball, ending what looked liked the Ram's bid for scoring. The Crimson were once backed to their own goal, but Haddox pulled them out of the hole with a beautiful punt. The Rams had the ball a few plays before the final gun but hadn't enough time to manufacture a drive. hu... Elmer Collins Jim Gomory Harold McElhaney Frank Parilli RICHARD RAGER, H-Dick was our ubattering Ramw this season. His reputation had been made as a lineman, but he was converted into a ball carrier. He had little experience but knock- ed the enemy all over the field. He carried much of the Rams' weight on his shoulders. Conway's gift to Rochy should perform again next season. JOHN CARCAISE, I-Johnny was a member of the Rams' forward wall. Although he wasn't a regular starter, he handled his post well. He played a rough-tough game, with good blocking and tackling. Johnny is only a Sophomore, so he should be back again next year. ALEX FARMER, I-Alex was really a necessary key in the Ram machine. He had the job of subbing for quarterback, halfback, and full- back. Rochy was fortunate in having Alex for running, blocking, and signal-calling. PETE NOCERA, I- Petey held down a right end position this year. He earned quite a repu- tation as a hard tackler, He displayed a clean brand of football and fine spirit on the Ram gridiron. We hope to see Pete back again next year. ELMER COLLINS, II-Jolly, congenial Elmer was another vicious lineman. He handled his position as guard capably and seldom permitted enemy runners to cross his territory. Elmer is only a Junior but is already known for his trips to Beaverg he never failed to relate the happen- ings to us. We'll see him next year. JAMES GOMORY, I-Jim was really a threat to enemy runners at the Ram forward wall. His defensive ability as guard ranked high. Fre- quently he broke through to bring down the runner for a big loss. His fast-playing, low- charging football ability should shine for Rochy again next year. HAROLD McELHANEY, I- Pop,' shared duties as a Ram wingman this year. He displayed great abilities in taking up where his brother left off. Pop showed that noise is not neces- sary to stop the runner. He should be out- standing next year. FRANK PARILLI, II--Although Frank is only a Junior he'll not tote the ball for Rochy againg he was inducted into the armed forces. Never- theless, he was a big factor in our scoring ef- forts. His almost flawless ball-handling netted quite a huge yardage. We're sure Frank will make good for any team. Dick Rager John Carcaise Alex Farmer Pete Nocera QUIPS EDGE RAMS The Aliquippa Steelers defeated the Junction City eleven, 6-0, in the first game of the renewal of the Rochester-Aliquippa series. But neverthe- less, the Rams definitely outplayed the Quips, and rolled up seven first downs while the opponents moved the sticks thrice. The Steelers manufactured a score in the first period when Frank Parilli took the kick-off, was hit hard on the twenty, and fumbled. The Quips pushed to the two-yard line where Potoezny, Steeler fullback, plunged for the line touchdown. Hereafter the Quips played safe, tightening their defense and punting on the third down. In the second canto, with his back to his own goal, Grdnic's punt slipped from his foot and rolled out on the 23. But Dick Rager intercepted a pass. and Rams again took possession of the ball. Then Ossie Burg broke off tackle into the open with Jay McDonald beside him and two tacklers behind him. They finally brought him down after jaunting 71 yards, 11 yards short of the goal. I-Ie made five more yards around end. The half ended with the ball on the 10-yard line. The second half was scoreless but the Rams threatened in the last quarter. Parilli ripped off 20 yards to the 35. Rall took the pigskin to the 19. The Rams took to passing but were unsuc- cessful. Steelers took the ball on downs, and the game ended a few plays later. RAMS ELIMINATE TIGERS The Rochester Rams avenged last yearis 6-0 upset by Beaver Falls when they tied the unbeaten Tiger eleven by the score of 13 to 13. Last year, the situation reversed, the Rams were unbeaten. The Rams were eliminated from W. P. I. A. L. double A honors, but came back to knock the Tigers out of the race this year. Dick Rager, Ram fullback, sparked his eleven with consistent gains all evening. He tallied all the Ram's 13 points while Boller scored 13 for Beaver Falls. The Junction City eleven held the edge in first downs, 11 to 5. Rain began to fall just after the opening kick- off and put the game into conditions similar to last year's game. The Tigers took the kickoff and made little ground. They threw a pass that land- ed in Jay lVlcDonald's arms and he was pulled down on the Tiger seven. Holding for downs, the Beaver Falls eleven punted to the 34. A fumble gave them the ball again, but they were forced to punt again. Starting from the 40, Dick Rager hammered the line and moved the sticks for five first downs. Rager plunged the touch- down and extra point. The Tigers started deep in their own territory and drove 76 yards to score. Boller plunged for the tally and the placement was low. Half time score was 7-6. In the second half a Boller punt rolled to the 2-yard line. The Rams went into punt formation. Grdnic's punt was partially blocked and stopped on the five. The Ram line held for downs, and Rochester took over. The punt was again blocked and. Beaver Falls had the ball on the 10. Again they were held for downs, and Grdnic punted to the 26. Boller raced around end and down the sideline on the first play for his second touchdown. He also ran for the extra point. A Ram drive went to the Tiger twelve but was inches short of a first down. Boller, attempting to punt on the third down, fumbled, but recov- ered for a 5-yard loss. I-Ie juggled the ball on the next play and was smothered by the Ram for- ward wall. The Rams took over, four yards from the goal. Rager covered the distance in one smash and tied the score. On the try for the extra point, Parilli went back to pass. The pass, which would have meant victory for the Rams, was knocked down by an alert Tiger man. The game was well played by both the two bit- terly contested foes. BRIDGERS TOP RAMS The Ambridge eleven, profiting by two blocked punts, defeated the Rochester Rams. 13-0. A11 scoring took place in the first quarter. Never- theless, the Rochester club held the margin in first downs, 6-2. The Rams were set back by the booming punts of Granitz, Bridger quarterback. The Bridgers suffered 95 yards of penalties imposed by officials. The Rams received the opening kickoff, and unable to move, punted on the third down. The Bridgers, exchanging the punt, put the ball on the Ram 22. Still unable to move, the Rams dropped back to punt. Grdnic,s punt was blocked and rolled out of bounds on the 26. The Bridgers moved to an easy score, Strano tallying the touchdown, Goldman place kicking the extra point. Almost immediately the Bridgers scored their second touchdown. The Rams, after the kickoff, were punting. Rager's kick was blocked, and Supe, Ambridge tackle, picked up the ball on the 5 and crossed the goal. In the third quarter a Ram drive reached mid- field but the slippery ball oozed from Rager's fin- gers when he attempted to punt. The Bridgers took the ball. The Rams best chance came when Pop Mc- Elhaney received a fumble on the Bridger 26. They gained four yards, but the Bridgers held for downs. This game was played on a damp. muddy field. It was played a day later than scheduled because of rain on that previous day. WADE RALL, I- Snul'fy', is another of those glorious Sophomores that made good. Wade is from Bridgewater, but has a liking for Rochy. He gave his ability in running and blocking for the downfall of Beaver. Rochy is fortunate to keep Snuffy',. LOUIS REYNOLDS, I- Lefty is another Soph- omore who showed his stuff. He held down a tackle position and surprised everyone with his ruggedness. Rochy regrets that Lefty will not be here to help bolster next year's squad. VICTOR RUBBO, I- View was a big Sopho- l L . i - more who held down the fullback spot for a large part of the season. His hard driving was responsible for many a Rochy gain. Unfortu- nately, Vic quit the squad, and missed playing in the last few games. JAMES PANDER- Jim was one of the most valuable assets to the squad this season, As trainer, he constantly kept the boys in top con- dition. Jim,' was the friend of every boy on the squad, and Rochy is fortunate to have him as team trainer. 1 Wade Rall Louis Reynolds Victor Rubbo James Pander THE TEAM The team as a whole this year was one of power combined with speed. The Rams had one of the biggest teams in the valley. Big, husky Eddie Supak was the brains of the team. We were very fortunate for having two powerhouses, Vic Rubbo and Dick Rager, playing fullback. Between them, they almost tore the opponent's line to threads. The Rams had three speedy, capable halfbacks, Osh Burg, Frank Parilli, and Wade Rall, who were dangerous to the opponents every time they were in the clear. Rochester had one of the best lines in the valley this year. They were known for their hard tackling and blocking. Grdnic, who played an excellent game at end, also did our punting. Jay McDonald was always out in front of the runners doing fine blocking. The Rams also had many capable substitutes to replace our first team in case of any mishap. YOUNGSTOWN ELEVEN OUTPOIN TS RAMS The Rochester Rams were nosed out by Wood- row Wilson High School of Youngstown by the narrow margin of 33 to 31. Both elevens tallied five touchdowns but the Rams converted only one extra point to the visit- ors three. The Youngstown eleven displayed a powerful offensive and rolled up eighteen first downs. The Rams counted six. The Rams scored early. The Ohioans received but were forced to punt. A few plays later Frank Parilli slipped through right tackle and ran 64 yards for the score. The Presidents, in turn, marched 81 yards for their first score. After the kickoff, Oscar Burg took a pass from Parilli and sprinted down the sidelines to the 3-yard line. Rager made two yards, and Parilli went off tackle for another touchdown. The Ohioans scored three times in the second period. A twenty-four yard pass by Gibson tallied the first. The Rams fumbled and Gibson scored from the 14. The Presidents drove 54 yards, after practically blocking Rager's punt, and tallied. The third period was scoreless. Rall and Pa- rilli, alternating, took the ball to the Wilson 20. A pass, Parilli to lV1cElhaney, brought a first down on the four. Rager plunged another touchdown. Clayton intercepted a pass, and Rager punted to the ten. The visitors, punt was blocked and Supak recovered for another touchdown. Gibson broke through and raced 36 yards for the last Wilson score. Here the Rams took to the air. Parilli to Werthman for 25 yards. Parilli passed to Burg who romped across for the score. The Rams fired a short kick-off and gained possession of the ball. They threw four passes and the game ended with the ball in favor of the Presidents. RAMS DEFEAT BOBCATS The Rochester Rams topped the Beaver High Bobcats 6-O at Beaver's Gypsy Glen Stadium. This win put the Rams back into the victory column since the second game of the season. The two elevens were evenly matched and the traditional game was hard-fought. The lone score came late in the last quarter. The Rams were in enemy territory early in the game when Rager intercepted a Bobcat pass. The Rams pushed to the 19-yard line where 'they were held for downs. The Bobcats exhibited a new spread formation that netted them a gain and put the Rams in trouble. Ed Supak intercepted a pass on the two yard line, ending the threat. The third quarter was just a rocking back and forth with no big drive by either team. Rager grabbed a Beaver pass near the end of the quarter. Then Parilli took it to the 38. With Rager plunging the Rams carried to the five. Here the Bobcats executed brilliant goal-line stand. When Scherrbaum punted, Rall returned to the 20-yard line. Parilli tore off 17 yards and 15 yards and scored from the two. Supak's place- ment was low. After the kickoff the Bobcats took to the air. Supak intercepted a pass and the Rams were try- ing for another score, but a fumble on the 16 end- ed the chance. The Bobcats were unsuccessful in three passes. The game ended seconds later. Six of Scherrbaumls aerials were intercepted, Rager taking four, and two by Supak. RAMS TIE FARRELL The Junction City eleven ended their 1944 season by battling to a 7-7 tie. The game was played on a muddy gridiron and played equally well on both sides. The Farrell fullback, Jim Smith, scored in the second period and the Rams' tally was made by Wade Rall, Frank Parilli scoring the extra point. The Rochester eleven received the kickoff and after three tries, punted to the Farrell 30. The visitors carried to the 25 before the Rams held. Rager punted to the 36 yard line. From their own, Farrell sent Jim Smith 0E the tackle and he raced 52 yards to score. He also plunged over for the extra point. ' The Rams came back fighting and tied the score in the second quarter. Dick Rager, who carried the majority of the burden, made two yards from his own 33. Rall passed to Parilli, who was brought down on the Farrell 41. Rager and Parilli carried to the 14 yard line. Wade Rall tore around end from the four yard line and tallied the touchdown. Frank Parilli went off tackle for the extra point. The second half looked like another touchdown when the Rams drove from the 25 to the Farrell 30. A stray pass gave Farrell the ball. Farrell drove up field and punted to the Ram twelve. Rager attempted to punt and dropped the ball, giving Farrell possession there. A penalty, fum- ble, and Frank Parilli intercepting a pass, gave the Rams the ball again. Rager, alone, carried to the 44 where the Rams were held. Farrell drove to the Ram 12 Where their fullback, Smith, crossed the goal line. The play was called back for back- field in motion. There the game ended. The Blue and White held the margin in first downs, ten to nine. lst Row: Cloughley, Stablow, Pagley, Scruci, Morell, Love, Moehrle, Znd Row: Mr. von Philp, Trudo, Smith, Parilli, Mavero, Clayton, Pierce, McPherson, Harley, Waddell, Mc- Donald. 3rd Row: Dunbaugh, McCracken, Doughtery, Sands, Masters, Frischlcorn, Dentzer, Rall, Talon, Kilpatrick, Rubbo. THE RESERVE SQUAD The Reserve Team completed a very successful season this year under the capable coaching of Bertil von Philp. Their record shows that they won three, lost two, and tied one, but more than that, they received the valuable experience that every boy needs. Here on the reserve squad, the boys are taught the fundamentals of the game. These rules are learned only after long hours of practice. This squad is the first step in the career of every young football aspirant. All in all, the boys deserve much credit for their hard work. We feel that many future Rochy football heroes will come out of this group. Rochester 6 .

The high light of the evening was the crowning of the football queen. This year it was harder to select a queen than in previous ones. There was great debating, but finally the players came to their decision. It couldnit have been a better one. Pretty Mary Catherine Stablow was chosen queen, and her attendants were Downie Stonnish and Louise Goehring. Bud,, Clayton, star center, was selected ulcingf, His privilege, on behalf of the football team, was to crown the queen and present her with a white football with this inscription: Football Queen of Rochester High School, 1944. Acting master of ceremonies was Karl Bellce. While some 300 students and parents Watched the crowning, Mary Louise Guy played several piano selections. This was a truly a fitting climax for the football season. .. 40 - DECEMBER JANUARY FEBRUARY K WINTER CALENDAR DECEMBER First basketball game. Juniors hold gala Christmas party.

Secretly, the desire of that place was the inspiration of each and everyone of us during our entire junior year. We surpassed all other classes in our annual magazine sale. Our dances and parties were enjoyed by all. As a final climax to the year, we, through the able leadership of our class sponsor, Miss Miller, held our Prom-Banquet affair. With the whole class working together harmoniously, it could not help but be the suc- cess it was. Several of our junior boys were noted on the football and basketball squads. Proud of our former record, we are now determined to be one of the best senior classes ever to graduate from Rochester High School.

In order that Rochy may be an ideal school the R Club was formed. It has now completed its second year of successful operation. The RH Club is the representative body of Rochy High. Together with Mr. Farley they work for the betterment of our school. This year their chief duty was to do just that-better the school. Some of their many duties were to take charge of minute- man talks, lost and found articles, and to sell tickets at the bas- ketball games. Many other constructive projects were, sponsoring the paper drive, providing lunches for visiting basketball teams, sending thank-you letters to guest speakers, and caring for the school pub- licity. The Christmas program and the suggestion of the basketball court in the vacant lot across from the school were two of the out- standing services rendered by the club this year.

Its purpose is to create, maintain and extend high standards of Christian living throughout the school and community. It promotes clean scholarship, clean sports, clean speech, and clean habits. The Hi-Y showed signs of activity when only in the first week of school the scoreboard committee had to be organized, and numberless other duties to be ex- ecuted during a football game had to be distributed among the members. The members of the Hi-Y had the privilege of being host to the Tri-Hi-Y-H Hi-Y Rally which was held at Rochester for the second consecutive year. The Hi-Y members play basketball in the high school gym and they also en- gage in swimming at the 'QYN in New Brighton. These are the two outstanding athletic events of the year. The one activity that takes the spot-light is the Hi-Y Football Dance. It features the crowning of the Football Queenv. She is chosen by the lettermen of the football squad. In order to become a member of the I-li-Y, the applicant must fill out a recom- mendation blank. He is put on probation for a short period of time, and is in- itiated at the conclusion of this alloted time. I-le is later formally inducted into the Hi-Y Club. President .

When the school term opens, the sports-minded girlis thoughts turn to the G. A. A. This club was Hrst organized under Mrs. Helen Rodgers for the purpose of encouraging the many girls in- terested in athletics. Now under the supervision of Mrs. Doris Harclerode, the club has grown, year by year, to be the largest club in the school. The aim of every girl in the G. A. A. is to receive the R , the third emblem given for earning 225 points. To receive the first emblem, a girl must earn 75 points, and 150 points for the second. By participation in many activities, these emblems can be earned and proudly worn. Volleyball, basketball, and bowling are just a few activities The club also enjoys swimming in the winter at the Y. M. C. A. There is a tumbling team for the more accomplished athletes. Oh, how stiff and sore the girls feel after the first days of tumbling! But that and all the hard work is forgotten when the girls know they have accomplished something. There are also bowling, volleyball, and basketball teams. Basketball seems to rank first with the girls. To the winning team gold basketballs are given. All this work is not in vain. To climax the activities a gym exhibition was presented in the spring in which every G. A. A member had a chance to participate. The girls in the past and the girls in the future have and will continue to benefit by this club because it is a worthwhile Girls, Athletic Association.

In the next six games the Rams improved and split even. They won three and lost three. The Rams won their opening league game from a hard-fighting Monaca quintet. Monaca was de- fending the championship of Section 11. The next game the Rams played was with Sharpsville. It was a very close, hard fought game, but the Rams finally won by the score of 40 to 37. The Rams took their next three league games with ease. They beat Midland, Beaver, and Hope- well. The Rams played the Freedom Bulldogs for the Championship of the first half. After a very breathtaking game, the Rams emerged the victors by the score of 29 to 23. Then the Rams clinched with Monaca for the second time. The Monaca game was even closer and more hard fought than the Freedom game. The score was 33 to 32. The Rams traveled to Sharpsville, and played what was probably their best game, winning the game in an overtime period, 47 to 46. Then came the biggest upset of the season. The Midland passers came to Rochester and upset the Rams in a very close, hard fought game by the score of 39 to 38. After the Rams beat Hopewell, they met the Beaver quintet. The game was not so close, but many exciting events took place. Jay McDonald broke his glasses, a Beaver player cut his arm on them, and Darb,' Fisher sprained his ankle in the same play. Ed Supak scored 28 points in this game. Then came the big game of the year, the cham- pionship game. Rochester met the Freedom Bulldogs for the championship of Section 11. Each team had a record of eight wins and one loss. Perhaps the biggest crowd of people that ever attended a basketball game in the Rochester gym witnessed the battle. Everyone was tense and excited as the game began. But it was a free- scoring game with each team in top condition. The Rams led throughout the game. Finally the game ended with the Rams in the lead-49 to 40. The Rams became the champions of Section 11. The Rams met Avalon in the WPIAL tourna- ment game. Avalon was the class B title holder in the WPIAL last year. The game was close in the first half, but in the second half the Rams fell behind, and were never able to catch up with the Avalon quintet. The score was 52 to 38 in favor of Avalon. With this game, ended a successful season for the Rams. This high school salutes its champs! -55.- Qfz Le ,V Q ' Zff 's- .Q Q .W 5. . 3 2 -,, N high F J xr, f u m 54 I 5. w I X 5 Yi ek. as : 11 ' '-L.

He knocks down many a long pass that nets our side two points. When there is a loose ball, Bud,' usually comes up with it. Rochy's certainly glad to have had Bud,s,' abilities. JAY MCDONALD- Jock', was our center this year. His height, which always came in handy. gave him special access to the ball. He is also another expert marksman with an eye for the hoop. He was a regular starter who often brought in a welcome goal. Jay will be sorely missed. FRANK PASCUZZI-Frankie is another of Rochy's high point men. Frankie is proof that good things come in small packages. He shiiies in defense as well as offense. He is seen all over the floor. In a scramble with his opponent, he usually comes up with the ball. ALFRED FRANK- Spot started out as man- ager for the Rams but his ability quickly caught the eye of our coach. Soon he played varsity ball and did a fine job. He played a hard game at guard. Nspotv leaves quite a gap in the line-up. EDWARD SUPAK-The Ram's big, husky for- ward is a veteran of three seasons with the Rams on the hardwood. SupeH was a big fac- tor in the Rams' success this year. His adept ball-handling was outstanding. His accurate shooting from all angles of the court brought many a point. We're sorry to lose you, Eddie. ROBERT FISHER- Darby is one of those fast, tricky, always-good-for-two-points for- wards. His eye never fails to locate the hoop, and he seldom misses under the basket. Darb,' will be back to pile up points next year. FRANK GRDNIC- Grdie,', another of Coach Peacock's pupils, is a rough, stellar guard. Frank's fast moving hands resulted in many a personal foul being called against him, but more often, he achieved his desired results. We are losing another good man in Crow . JACK WERTHMAN- Bull is one of Rochy's fine Hoormen and rugged ball players. Jack plays the rougher type of ball. He specializes in long, one-handed shots from the center of the floor. This was Bull's', second and last year, and we're sorry to see him leave. HAROLD MCELHANEY-This was Pop's,' first year on the varsity, but he showed promise on becoming an outstanding performer. Pop started out on the reserves, but through his hard playing soon worked up to a starting position on the first team. His best game was the cham- pionship Freedom tussle, when he broke up many scoring threats. Mac will be welcomed back next season. .-57... fc' 533 W?

They are fortunate to be under the able direction of Mr. Anthony Caputo. This year they have played many semi-classical selections which have been greatly en- joyed by their audiences. The orchestra played for the com- munity concert o-f Christmas music, for the graduation of nurses, for the senior class play, and also for the Rotary Club of Rochester. They also played several selections at the spring concert. This is an orchestra of which we can be proud. Through the untiring ef- forts of both orchestra and director. they are gaining a better and better reputation. Here is to one of the best of high school or- chestras.

The Junior-Senior Chorus was a nicely blended group of sixty-five voices. The Sophomore Chorus was a little smaller. There were not quite so many tenors and basses as in former years, but still there were enough to produce pleasing results. As in former years the chorus selections were varied, including sacred, semi-classical, and popular numbers. The choral work divides naturally into two programs. The first project is the Christmas music. Mr. Caputo selected some of the lesser known carols from other countries, and combining those with the old familiar carols produced an excellent program. This year the Christmas music was sung in assembly, at a vesper service at Grace Lutheran Church. and at an evening program for the entire community in the high school. ' The last and greatest effort always goes into the annual spring concert which is always well attended and greatly appreciated by the patrons of the school. Mr. Caputo carries over into his chorus work the high ideals he has always had in music. I-le always strives for perfection and thinks that you can never stop prac- ticing and working, for ycu never stop learning and improvfng. Minna Jackson has been the faithful accompanist for the Junior-Senior Chorus and Marceline Rinard for the Sophomore Chorus.

THE MIRAGE This is the hard working, efficient, and studious Mirage Staff. Effortlessly they publish our book this year. Undoubtedly this is the best book ever published, by the best Stag CVCI' organized. Our book is the best. There is no last minute hurry. no puzzling over what to write, no mix-up with the pictures. As a matter of fact, there were no mix- ups, period. We were always in the office, but that was because Mr. Farley asked us to come more often and stay longer. You see, we never bothered him. Edith and Marybelle were always glad to get us anything. The students helped us, too. We had absolutely no trouble with their want- ing to see the pictures that were to be published, nor did Miss Bradshaw have any trouble trying to chase after anyone. Yes, this is truly the dream staff. And we know darn well that you'd never find it in Rochy, so - - - suppose we skip the write-up and say, Here is the Mirage Staff. Co-Editors.

When there is something to be done they are always ready and willing to help. Without them our plays, minstrels, and assemblies would enjoy little success. We little realize the work it takes to make a stage production. There are numerous stage properties to take care of, make up to apply, and scenery to build. With this able stage crew we can always be sure that the curtain will go up at the proper time and the spotlight go on. We are indebted to the stage crew for their fine work in producing Mr. Caputois concerts, Miss Brehmis plays, Miss Naugle's fashion show, and many other things. Thank you, Miss Brehm. for your guidance. Thank you, members of the crew, for your untiring help. Row 13 Rcicli. Napoli. llrwtt-V. XX'I'lllI'ACE. Kzli'i11gi'1'. lrilll-il'!llNl!lIl9Y.

EE 1 9 4 5 A631 SENIURS SAY FAREWELL T0 RUCHY SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Leaves began to fall and the days grew chillier when in September 1933, little tots toddled off to school. In the grade schools they were taught to write their names, to read, and to add figures. It was also there that they began to cherish the hope that some day they would be free of the wearisome task of going to school. The time has now come for them to leave and sadness Hlls their hearts at the thought of it. We reminisce with memories of our grand senior year. The com- munity sings in assembly and the numerous movies will be missed by all. We have many things to remember: the spirited pep meetings, crowning of the football queen, the class play, and last but not least, our most capable instructors. When we entered Senior High in the fall of '42, we soon learned where the sophomores stood . . . at the bottom. We remained seated while the seniors were dismissed. After cutting our teeth , we were confronted with the problem of being juniors. Now we had to put away childish things and do honor to the Junior Class. We sold magazines in order to hold our annual Prom-Banquet af- fair which was quite successful. With the farewells of the leaving seniors still ringing in our ears. we realized with pride that we had reached the top! We were seniors. We bid thee farewell, Rochy. Never can we forget the halls where once we roamed and never shall again except in our memories. Carefree and happy school days are gone. Although we, the class of 1945, may be scattered to the far flung corners of the earth, there shall always be the one tie that binds our hearts in unity. That its loyalty and praise to thee, Alma Mater. Farewell.
