A fine public school system, well kept parks, playgrounds, prosperous business establishments, an efficient hospital, and numerous churches make Rochester a desir- able community in which to live. F ew towns of comparable size have these many advan- tages, and all of these assets go together to make our town one of which we are proud. . ,,,o,,,,,,,,s A steady stream of traffic crossing the Rochester Monaca Bridge proves that it is a vital link in the transportation facilities of our county. On Rochester's busy thoroughfare are located many business establishments including the Penn Beaver Hotel. New business ventures show that ours- is a growing community. The Grace Lutheran Church is one of the numerous places of worship in our town. Its recent improvements depict the keen interest shown by Rochester's church members. W Pay tribute l MISS MILDRED MILLER - A member of the Rochester High School faculty We, the Rochester High School Class ol 1952, are proud to dedicate our MIRAGE to Miss Mildred Miller as a tribute to her line qualities of leadership, co-operation, and friendliness. During Miss Mi1ler's years of faithful serv- ice at Rochester High School, she willingly gave her time and talents to sponsor and assist many school organizations in promot- ing their projects. She has devoted her lite to Rochester High School-not out of a sense of duty but out of a sense of love for youth and their expectations. A friend in need is a friend indeed truly pertains to Miss Miller, for her good will extends lar beyond the school's horizon. Bringing cheer to the sick and needy is another of her accomplishments. Due to a prolonged illness she has not been with us lately, but her absence is noticed by everyone and we, the Class of 52, send our sincerest desire tor her speedy recovery. fp,..u A 345 1 N ff X f ,.

Superintendent et Rochester Pnhlie Sehnnls ROBERT P. BARNER Superintendent of Rochester Public ,.+ Schools To Mr. Barner, our superintendent, we say farewell. In most school districts a superin-f tendent's life is not closely connected with the students, but here in Rochester, Mr. Barner has always taken an active part in our student affairs. Mr. Barner also has a number of other activities which keep him on his toes, Very seldom mentioned, but laudable, is the fact that he is a piano artist. He doesn't have the time to play often for the students, but When he does the selections are well chosen and appreciated. Most of our graduates are able to further their education because he is helpful to them in choosing colleges, obtaining scholarships, and selecting vocations. We shall place Mr. Barner among our cherished memories of Rochester High School. Mr. Barner converses with his secretary, Edith Pasquale, whose various office duties keep her busy. Principal and llssi It is hard to express in words the gratitude we feel toward our high school Principal, Fenton H. Farley, for the personal assistance and guidance he gave to everyone of us. He sincerely cares about our problems, and endeavors to understand the students' as well as the faculty members' outlook on life. Mr. Farley and Carol Keiser, his secretary, are two of the busiest people in the high school. stant Principal This makes for a better unity between the teachers and pupils of Rochester High School. To make us capable of becoming demo- cratic leaders and good citizens of this free nation is his greatest aspiration. We truly mean it when We say, Thank you for every- thing, Mr. Farley! William Peacock, assistant principal of the high school, also checks on absentee students. lacult CHARLES ARMSTRONG B. E. M. and M. Lin. Bookkeeping II, Shorthand I, Transcription. SUSAN BOYDE A. B.

I4 GHMPSE IH THE if 'WW I ww The leaders el As we walk through the halls of Rochester High School for the last time we find it hard not to reminisce about our school days. Remember the first day of school when some of us cried, some laughed and the majority of us were a little leery of those people called teachers . . . our reading classes when we gathered our chairs in a circle and fer- vently tried to read about Dick and Iane . . . fractions and decimals-nothing could be harder to understand . . . and finally our grand entrance into junior high! The ninth the Senior Class grade prom and commencement remain vivid in our mind's eye for they seemed to mark our grand entrance into society. At last we were sophomores and our responsibilities were readily assumed. Before We knew it the magazine sale, junior banquet, junior-senior prom, candy sales, baccalaureate, and com- mencement were history. And now as We fondly leave the portals of Rochester Senior High School we believe that these experi- ences have prepared us for our future ambitions.

Junior lied Cross Council The Iunior Red Cross Council under the sponsorship of Miss Wilda Banfield has be- come one of Rochester High School's major service organizations. From' each home room one student Was elected by his classmates to represent them as a member of the council. Miss Banfield's home economics department also did much to help in the c1ub's money- making projects. During the school year domestic science pupils made cake and Sloppy Ioes which were sold to the teachers and students Who ate their lunches at school. All proceeds from these sales were in- vested in charitable Work. Twenty Red Cross boxes were packaged and financed by the club members, and holiday favors were made for valley hospitals and homes. A poster announcing the sale of Sloppy Ioes is displayed by several Red Cross Council members. Proceeds from the sale were used for Care Packages. Under the leadership of Mr. von Philp, the Student Council has done much to serve Rochester's pupils and faculty. Through the efforts of this organization, a better under- standing is maintained between the faculty and student body. This council also sells milk to those who must remain at the school during the noon hour.

Membership was open to all providing they followed the plat- form of clean speech, clean sportsmanship. and clean living. The club annually has various projects which the members under- take willingly. A basketball team was formed which played other Hi-Y clubs of the- valley. The boys sold Easter candy, were most co- operative with the football crowning and, last but not least, they were most helpful at our home football games. The club has been in existence for a number of years in our high school and is one of our best boys' organizations. A job worth doing, is Worth doing well, an adage of long ago, became the secret motto of members of the MlRAGE staff, as plans for the 1952 MIRAGE swiftly and surely rolled into action. A person not familiar with editorial Work can hardly realize What a terrific amount of stress and strain it takes to produce a book of this type, Planning the dummy, making appointments for pictures and getting them taken, Writing, proofreading and various other duties were constantly being attended to. With the untiring efforts of Miss Ludwig and our photographer, Bob Batto, and all who helped in any Way, the MIRAGE staff proudly presents the 1952 MIRAGE. We hope you like it!!!

Under the direction of Anthony Caputo, they have displayed various complicated dance steps along with their unusual formations. The band has completed another successful season with a record of attendance and performance at thirty consecutive football games and two East-West games without a cancellation of performance due to inclement Weather. As a finale, the band presented its annual spring concert featuring such songs as Bobby Sox Suite, Sorcer's Apprentice and Al- legro Con Grazia.

This year has been one oi harder work and more responsibilities and next year will prove to be even more so, but since we have a co- operative class we know we will succeed in our undertakings. Our first project, the magazine sale, was a pronounced success. We excelled the juniors of last year by selling more maga- zines than they, The profits of this sale enabled us to have a party on November 30, 1951, as a reward for our salesmanship. The highlights of this year were the junior banquet and the junior-senior prom under the direction of Mrs. Davis. It has been a long and tiresome voyage but since Rochy High School strives to ob- tain the highest goal, we will work hard and hope that our senior year will be the best.

We felt big being considered part of the high school. But soon we found when they said, Sophomores remain seated while seniors are dismissed, they meant it. As soon as our officers were elected, we were ready to work. Selling candy at basketball games, several bake sales, and socials were our means of making money for our big party at the end of the year.

An action shot taken during the Rochester-Ambridge football game depicts the best playing of the Rams' season. Football During the half time period Coach Bob Wrenshall instructs the players on football strategy. In the opening game of the season the Rochester Rams downed the Union Township Eleven 20 to 2 in a clash at the Iunction City Field. But the praise from this win was short and sweet, for the season ended with nine losses and one win. The records, how- ever, do not show the exceptionally fine ball playing against the New Brighton Lions and the Ambridge Bridgers. Before the Rochester-Beaver football game the foot- ball players presented flowers to their mothers. SCHEDULE ROCHESTER ...A. UNION TOWNSHIP ROCHESTER . , . MONACA , . . ROCHESTER .....

This year's squad consisted of three seniors, Nancy Buck, Anne Miller, and Dotty Gordong two juniors, Ioan Matteo and Ianice Cumashotp and one sophomore, Rhoda von Philp. A new system was initiated this year which included a sponsor, Miss Stein- acker, and a regular school period in which all old and new cheers were practiced and any problems which arose were discussed. Much credit should be given these girls who worked indefatigably and were responsible for the rousing school spirit which prevailed in all of the sport programs.

This is one of the many questions which comes to light in the difficult task of selecting the senior class play. Other factors from which problems arise are stage facili- ties and how much available talent there is to put on a successful program. All of these problems are undertaken and gradually overcome by Miss Brehm and a selected committee of seniors. Following try-outs, cast members work diligently for long hours to perfect their play. A successful perform- ance is the reward for the tedious hours spent. These seniors, Kay Stoffel, Kay Graham, Dotty Gor- don, Iohn Mike and Bill Coburn, had the major task of selecting our senior class play. From this group was chosen the cast for the senior class play. Each one seeking a part in-the play, these seniors were willing to try to master the art jxd fs K, l : 'n.s oi acting. Under the direction of Miss Brehm try-outs were held and the cast selected.

The object of this special activity was to give students an insight into the duties of school officials. Officers of the Student Council assumed the duties of Mr. Farley, Mr. Peacock, and Miss Keiser. In the morning an assembly was held at which Principal Buck announced the day's sched- ule, and a program featuring student talent was presented. During the day students acted as teachers in all classes. Most of those chosen to instruct classes were pupils who are planning to become teachers. Nancy Buck, acting as principal for a day, poses for Al l a picture as she readily assumes Mr. Farley's duties.

First ot all, we want to thank Miss Clara Ludwig who really Worked long hours choosing and training a competent staff and helping in all other respects. Laurels also go to Bob Batto and the Graule Studio for their patience and co-operation during.the entire layout of the book. Muchicredit is due also to Paul Marzoll representing the Campus Publishing 'Company who diligently aided the editors and advisor on various essentials concerning the new type ot yearbook. Last but not least we thank the teachers who patiently cmd willingly excused students from classes to get pictures taken. All good things eventually come to an end and thus your pictorial eye-view of Rochester Senior High School, its teachers, students and activities has iinally been com- pleted. The editorial staft has consistently tried to depict throughout the book a picture of an average student's classes and activi- ties. Along with the administration and underclassmen, clubs, dances, concerts, and various other phases of senior high have been photographed showing that school is not just concerned with readin', writin' and 'rithmetic, but that it is a composite of book learning and social lite. We sincerely hope that these pictures will serve as an inspiration to guide those entering high school.
