Herein is the history of the class--its hopes and aspirations, its victories and defeats, its joys and sorrows. Thus it was written. So be it. Look upon its pages as a record of past achievements. En- joy the moments caught in time's flight and held fast in the hand of the future to be viewed with a certain nostalgia, as newer and greater accomplishments replace those of today. In the maturity of tomorrow, recall the youthful dreams of today and reawaken the magic of these special years as once again this volume unfolds. ..5 4- .. I J, , f,g,ya.. L' . Row 1: W. Dunning, F.

This Board which is made up of nineteen members has worked faithfully to carry out the administration of the Rochester schools. The members have given generously of their time and effort to promote all activities of the school, both sports and scholastic. We appreciate the progress they are making toward completion of plans for the building of a new high school. We know that the untiring efforts of this group had their part in fitting us for ahappy and successful future. We say thank you again. is-. .sr M. Haney, G. Marshall, C. Anderson, J. Edwards.

Under his supervision, we have completed twelve years of study, which have pre- pared us for taking our place in the wide world of adult life. His many hours of extra work will be appreciated when the citizens of Rochester at last realize their dream of a new school. SllPlllINllNlllNl Ill SIIHIIIHS ,- .i xg K PRI IZIPM Ill IHI HIGH Slllllllll You never miss the water till the well runs dry. This old saying could be aptly applied to Fenton H, Farley. Throughout our high school days he has always been on hand to consult on such minor details as schedule changes or important ones as trips or money-making proj- ects. As principal, Mr. Farley has gone out of his way to help our class and has co-operated with the class officers in all our class projects. Although many of us are not actively aware of all he has done for us, a moment's thought will tell us that his capable assistance will surely be missed in future years. llllll FAEUHY Charles E.

EHESE WE'll REMEMBER 49 SIIPHIIMIIRIS Greatly outnumbering the senior Class we boldly entered the halls of Rochester High School as sopho- mores. However our boldness was soon lessened by the seniors' authority which we later learned to take in stride. We proved our abilities by Conducting a highly profitable gum sale under the eapableleadership of our newly elected class officers and sponsor Miss Marie Torrito. The year's highlight was our Class party held in May which closed out our year as sophomores. As we look forward to our junior year, we want to wish the seniors the best of luck as they go their separate ways.

The Rams were paced by five returning letter- men: 6'2 senior Terry Coe, 6'l senior Elmer Reed, 5'10 seniors Bob O'Dell and Jim Brown, 6'3 junior Bob Mattern, and 6'2 senior Ralph Luther, playing his first year. After losing the first three exhibition games, they returned to take the next three. Although the team lost the services of Jim Brown for the greater part of the season, they continued to win. Outstanding team work and all around ability were shown by all the team members. The coaches, Adam Karcis and Joseph Catanese, deserve much cred- it for a job well done. J. V. llASKllllAll The reserves of today are the varsity of tomorrow. How well we remember the days when our senior boys were green sophomores. It is because of the valuable experience they gained in the junior varsity games that they were able to compile such a fine record this season, The reserves gain knowledge of the game both at practice against our varsity and in preliminary games every Tuesday and Fri- day. Perhaps a few of the reserves of today will play before cheering crowds in our new gymnasium as varsity performs. Jim La.Vette racks up two points in the tight Hope- well J.V. game. Row 1: R. Law, H.
