FOREWORD As we look at our graduation ring, we liegin to realize what it actually means to us. This ring is not just a piece ol' jewelry heing' sported upon our finger, hut it is a symlmol of all that we have encountered during our high school days. As we keep looking at it, we remember all the wonderful activities and social affairs we had, all the sports events we participated in, and, of course, all the home- work we had to do. Now we think of these incidents as a heavy burden. When we leaf through the pages ot' this yearhook ten years from now and see this ring depicted through- out the hook, our so-called hard tasks will seem trivial. Always Wear this beautiful ring with pride, and cherish it as your foremost memory of llochester High School, our Alma Mater. wear my ring wifA lor-icfe . . CONTENTS Introduction .........

STAFF Much credit is due to the medical staff of our school for seeing that the student hody and faculty receive regular physical and dental examinations. The doctors to he c1'edited for their eiiicient work are: Edward Davis, George Durschinger, M. L. McCandless, and Guy Shugert. Dr. Oren Wallace proved to be very valuable as the school dentist. Without the aid of the school nurse, Mrs. William Fox, these medi- cal tasks could not have been accomplished. The students and faculty really appre- ciate the unlimited time and effort ex- tended hy our custodians, Dan Chabot and Rudolph Heckel. They were especially helpful in making our extra curricular activities more enjoyable.

Arm founclafion 0 clarify democracy Twelve years ago shuffling feet, caused by new little soldiers who were ready to start their preliminary training in grade school, were heard. During our first six years lasting friendships were formed, but the only accomplishment to boast of was learning the three R's. Our promotion to junior high gave us the experience we needed when we started senior high as sophomores. By the time we learned what stairs to use and to remain seated while the seniors were dismissed, we were ready to become juniors. Our junior year proved successful because of our magazine sale, banquet, and prom. As seniors these soldiers were in command. We labored hard to make this year worthwhile. The shirt and candy sales, the minstrel, and play were something to behold. These soldiers have learned something from every experience to fit them better for the battles, victories, and defeats of life. lox-f' SENIORS JOE ALICANDRO 1 General Course Stage Crew 2 3 4 Plays a powerful trumpet ln the hlgh school band Is now the proud owner of a brand new 39 Pontlac THELVIA E AMBROSE Blondie General Course Thelma IS a charm1ng g1rl commg from West Brldgewater Shes qulet but has a DICE way about her gf' Q-'ff sv 139 S Jar zur-Q MT!

Shown the error of our ways by the seniors, we fwenr ,soon in the swing of things. In Octo- .Jf16?ff,l'after humorous campaign speeches, we elected our class officers and reached I X . C, 1. ' ii' a goal of five hundred dollars with our chewing gum sale. Our t'Get Acquainted Dance in December proved to be an enjoy- able event. With our class represented in all of the school organizations and sports, we now look forward to our entry into the junior class. 3 1 -gp I :'J' i ROOM 1 FIRST ROW: L. Mine, K. Stablow, D. Graff, M.

KETB LL Another basketball season has been written into the record books at Rochester High School, and the least that can be said for the 1952-53 aggregation is that they tried hard to give Rochy High its first sec- tional championship since 1944, although they had to be content to finish in a second place tie with Midland behind the Section VIII winner, Monaca. Six senior athletes climaxed their high school basketball careers on a note of glory as they gave Coach Bob Wrenshall the finest season since his coming here in 1950, as they racked up a total of 15 wins as against 7 losses. Those boys who have hung up their uniforms for the last time are Paul Bernhardt, George Bukta, John Keller, Don Mahli, Bob Mooney and John Shields. The only juniors to see enough action to win their monograms this season were Barney Cable and Hank Pulpan. Johnny Keller completed the season with the amaz- ing total of 338 points. Don Mahli, George Bukta and Johnny Keller represented Rochy in the annual post- season East-West game. Contributing greatly to the East's victory, Johnny Keller was awarded the most valuable player's award. Head Coach Robert Wrenshall and Reserve Coach Robert Phillips are justified in smil- ing about the successful basketball season. Q 1 Q E? 1 m Q mn... -N E X la 6 If ff 15 K 3 1' NI?

Such a spirit have the Rochester High School students and much of this credit is due to the cheerleaders and their sponsor, Miss Steinacker. The six girls who inspired the pep in the student body this year were Joan Matteo, Janice Cumashot, and Emma Taylor, seniors, and Secky Vidovich, Rhoda von Philp, and Mimi Rex, juniors. In review- ing the things that made this school year a success, the efforts of the cheerleaders should .J A ii e rank high.

The scrappy Rochy outfit, with a 5-5 record last sea- son, will compete in Section VI again this year and should make a very fine showing with the material they have coming back from last year. The 1953 team will include the following letter- men: Pitchers, Bangor and Chewningg infielders, Blount, Brown, Mamone and Shields, outfielders, Bukta and Kunsman. Highlights of last year's season included Dick Black's one-hit decision over Midland and Tom Ketterer's and Jim Kunsman's prowess at the plate as they led their teammates for individual batting honors.

It is a representative organization comprised of a student from each home room, the presidents of the three classes, and a junior and senior-at-large elected for the forthcoming year by the mem- bers of the Council. Some of the activities of the club this year were the purchasing of records for the record library, providing milk for the basketball players after each home game, and sponsoring Principal for a Day. They also sponsored a few dances during the year. Under the able sponsorship of Mr. von Philp, the Council has accom- plished many fine things for the school. One of the many activities of the Student Council was the playing of Christmas carols between classes during the holiday season. l Vange Metros, hard working senior Pop Kid, smiles for our camera- man while fellow Pop Kid waits on customers.

In the first place, the Pop Kids have to be at the field about an hour before the game to make preparations before the crowds come. Then it's a tough struggle getting through all the people th.at stand next to the fence. Sometimes the vendors think it is easier to give up and watch the game, but they know they have a job to do to make money for their class. The dominant Mr. Colella leads this group, and the financial success of the MIRAGE depends on them. I A FIRST ROW S Johnson G Chamberlain J Pratte J Wlustalo S Stang B Wlahll SECOND ROW F Fedele O.

A. took over the gym. Sponsored by Mrs. Mary Thorpe and Miss Geraldine Steinacker, the girls completed tournaments in volleyball and basketball. Swimming parties and skating parties were also planned. Bowling was held every Wednesday afternoon at Tosh's Bowl- ing Alley where the girls took turns setting up pins. The year was terminated by a ban- quet, and letters were given to the girls who had earned the required number of points. This club is one of the favorite ones at Rochester High School.

HI-Y The Hi-Y Club of Rochester High School has had a very successful year under the direction of their new sponsor, Mr. Fatula. The officers of the club, chosen at the begin- ning of the school year, were as follows: Bob Welch, president 3 Fred Waara, vice-presidentg Tom Auld, secretaryg and Dave Kline, treas- urer. The activities of the Hi-Y are beneficial to the school. During football season the duties of the club were the operating of the scoreboard and taking care of the visiting band and the officials. Their only money making project of the year was the selling of Easter candy which gave them the neces- sary funds to support their basketball team and send members to conventions. For the following year the Hi-Y has planned many events, and the members hope to accomplish all they set out to do. Through rain, slush, and snow, Ronnie Jacobs and Bill Brobeck keep the scoreboard informed about the details of the game. M Cooke, H. Grimes, B. Davies, B. Ev .

The co-editors, Vange Metros and Fred Waara, have done a marvelous job of seeing that copy was checked and that the dummy was sent to the printers on time. Publishing the school news column in both of the local newspapers, the BEAVER VALLEY TIMES and the NEWS-TRIBUNE was another great responsibility of the journalism class. Katherine Bogeatzes, Vange Metros and Carmelita Mundo, editors, checked the news before it was released to the two papers. The goal of every student is, of course, election to the honorary writing society The Bill Heyman Chapter of International Quill and Scroll. Thank you, journalism students, for keeping the valley aware of the achieve- ments of our high school. QUILL AND SCROLL FOURTH ROW: T. Auld, P. Wilson, F. Waara, D. Fowler, B. Alberts, B. Koehler, R.

Connie Phillips is missing from the picture. Publishing a yearbook isn't merely hav- ing a lot of fun and getting excused from classes. There is a lot of proof reading and checking to do in those numerous after- school meetings. Besides taking pictures of clubs and classes, there are also football and basketball games to be taken care of. There always seems to be some last minute problem before that deadline comes around. Much of the success of the MIRAGE is due to the cooperation of Miss Ludwig and her editors, who grumbled at times when things didn't seem to go right, but who now feel that their work has been worthwhile.

Headed by the two Consuls, Rhoda von Philp and Fred Waara, they carried on many activities throughout the year including the presentation of a Christ- mas program for the students of the high school. The other officers of the club included: Scriba, Patty Brew and Ianitor, Jerry Stir- ling. Meetings of the club we1'e held twice each month to discuss plans and projects for the development of the organization.

UNIOR RED CROSS COUNCIL The work of the Junior Red Cross Coun- cil, now in its fourth year .at Rochester High School, is strictly that of service- service to those whose welfare is assumed by the National Red Cross Council.

Much credit is due to the wonder- ful work of the Junior Red Cross Council. B. Koehler, F. Romer, L. Probst, P. Brew, D. ,Hodnick, Miss Banfield, B.

OPEN HOUSE The annual Open House was organized with the purpose of acquainting teachers and parents in a way that will better each student's education. This year the parents met both the senior and junior high teachers in the high school building and were ably guided by members of the Student Council to the classrooms. Fol- lowing that feature of the program, an assembly was held in which Superintendent Robert Barner and Principal Fenton Farley spoke about the functions of the school. Afterwards a tea was held in o1'der to let the parents meet the teachers informally. It was proved that the activities planned for the Open House were enlightening to both parents and teachers. We hope that this tradition will continue to be a bigger and bigger success, for its benefits are many.

VISUA IDS The Visual Education Club sponsored by Mr. Earl Farley is a relatively new organiza- tion. The club is not a formal organizationg Mr. Farley gives individual instruction to pupils who are interested in the various phases of visual education. The purpose of the club is to instruct students in the use of the motion picture machine and the wire recorder. The members are assigned the duty of showing films in assemblies. They are also very helpful in their various classrooms when a picture is being shown. If the machine is not operating properly, the club member tries to find the cause of the trouble. This club is a great asset to our school and it is hoped that the students will continue to make it a success in the future. Earl Farley, Tom Robinson, Bob Celio and Bob Day practice using the recording machine. if 'Ni X Mr Pietro, driver training teacher, is shown with one of his students, Joan Stablow, in the Nash Rambler training car. DRIVER TRAINING A welcome addition to our school this year was the beginning of Driver Training Classes. This is something the students had been looking forward to and it has proved to be very popular with them. This achievement is due, in great part, to our driving instructor, Mr. James Pietro. After only one year at Rochy, Mr. Pietro has won the friendship and admiration of all the faculty and students. The Nash Rambler was donated to the school by Vollmer's Motor Sales and has certainly been put to good use. The course was not limited to actual training in the car, however, as theory was taught twice a week in the classroom. Through the patience and care- ful guidance of Mr. Pietro, many students have already obtained their licenses. Because of this expert training, fewer accidents and better drivers are sure to result. The posters on the blackboard have attracted the attention of the stu- dents in driver training class. Q 1 V7 ,a This year the vocal department, directed by Miss Doris Peterson, was divided into four groups: sextette, girls' chorus, girls' glee club, and concert choir. The first semester was devoted to practicing Christmas music. The Christmas concert was a musical accomplishment enjoyed by many. During the second semester the emphasis was on music for the spring concert and commencement. The annual spring concert was the fitting climax of a success- ful year. The members of the Girls' Glee Club appear to be determined to have that song ready for the Christmas Concert. Without the aid of the accom- panists, Harriet McCaslin, George Bentel and Ruth Jarrett, the vocal music department would have been lost.

The other officers of the Student Council, Katherine Bogeatzes, vice- presidentg Jane Harkins, secretaryg and Barbara Mahli, treasurer, undertook the duties of Mr. Peacock, Miss Keiser, and Mr. Armstrong, respectively. The Student Coun- cil home room representatives acted as home room teachers for the day, and student teachers were chosen by the teacher of each class. The day began with an assembly con- sisting of entertainment by some of our talented students. Regular classes were then conducted throughout the day with the stu- dents assuming full responsibility. The day was a challenge to the ability of the students, and it was met with an attitude of willing- ness and co-operation. li' A Assistant Principal, Katherine Bogeatzesg Treasurer, Barbara Mahlig Principal, Janice Cumashotg Secretary, Jane Harkins-for the day! xktc 4 Xjlr l 'Jw lg l gl' pt ,ff gl u ,V iv , cgi.-uv Principal for a Day talent ran high as Bob Schmidt entertained with his electric guitar in a special morning assembly.

Under the able direction of Mrs. McMurdy, the seniors worked hard to make this event a success. Of course, all was not smooth sailing, as frantic last minute searches were carried on for long red underwear and someone to be the other end of the mule, IZ. However, these minor difliculties were soon taken care of, and a good old-fashioned minstrel fwith some modern touchesy was thoroughly enjoyed. A. Mengel, N. Williams, J. Mustalo, G. Chanber- lain, J. Stablow, J. Pratte, S. Fuchs, C. Phillips, W. Coe and J. Bobo created several dance routines which delighted the audiences. 5315 -K . Encouraged by Interlocutor Mahli, Endmen P.
