W. Tervo, Mr. Eugene Cutshall, Dr. Robert Miner, and Mrs. Malcolm Hargraves. Below, Miss Evelyn Duell, Dr. Thomas' right hand girl, has faithfully carried on her secretarial duties this past year. Above, the business administration staff ww has the important task of handling our school finances. Seated, Miss Betty Wentworth and Mr. Hilbert Kathg standing, Beverly Boelter and Lavonne Schuck. 6 During his first year here, Mr. Ehrhorn has proven himself a real leader and a fine principal. His pleasing personality and sincere interest in us was soon recognized. For his cooperative and helpful attitude toward all kinds of worthwhile student activity, we are grateful. At the right are Phyllis Quam- men and Florence Drazkowski, the two office secretaries. Phyl- lis and Florence are known to all the stduents for their help- fulness and good humor. . . . Upstairs Miss Argue, as assistant principal, has loyally and capably guided us through another year. She is probably one of the very busiest persons around Rochester High School, for besides listening to our many excuses for being tardy or absent, and doing more than her share on the social committee, she is also our fair and understanding Girl's Adviser. Student Council. . . Under the able leadership of its oHicers, Charles Binger, president, Rich- ard Hendricks, vice-presidentg Marcia Kepler, treasurerg and Marilyn French, secretary, the Student Council has had an active and highly successful year. Student Council Executive Board: Winchell Craig, Dan Schuster, Marilyn Whiting, Jack Fallon, Venetia Lampman, Dorothy Essex, Kay Allen, David Wyatt, Charles Binger, Marilyn French, Phyllis Dolden, Marcia Kepler, Richard i Hendricks, Myrtle Bernard, Robert Keehn, Bill l Rousseau. Besides carrying out the various committee duties, the Council this year initiated an entirely new project, a well-planned and colorful Home- coming Parade. In addition, 'the council sponsored the first successful talent assembly in several years. Other activities included operation of the Lost and Found, planning of the special dances, arranging next year's assemblies, organizing noon hour ac- tivities, sponsoring charity drives, and supervising Coffman Hall.

Class Officers With Stanley Folkert as president: George Bingham as vice-presidentg and Nancy Samelian as secretary- treasurer, the Senior class of 1948 completed its last year in high school with a long-to-be-remembered round of commencement activities. Prob- ably the busiest of all class officers in senior high, these students headed the Senior Breakfast committee, and other activities, worked behind the scenes on the Senior Prom, and served on Student council committees. The biggest task for the Junior Class officers this year, Darrell Cochran, president: Beverly Hexum, vice-presi- dentg and Martha Finch, sec- retary treasurer, was the well- received Junior Prom. With the Gay Nineties as a theme, this party proved the capa- bilities of the future seniors. Besides this, the officers were active members of the Stu- dent Council. The Sophomores were well represented their first year in senior high school by their three officers, Richard Giese, presidentg Jerry Nichols, vice-presidentg and Darlene Matheson, secretary-treasurer. While they had no specific class duties, the ollicers gained leadership experience from their work on the Student Council. 9 Faculty . . .

The course, initiated into the curriculum this year, is directed by Mr. John Steiner, who took special AAA training for it last summer. For one semester, two days a week are spent in the classroom and one is spent in the dual- controlled 1947 Pontiac, donated to us for this purpose. I3 Faculty . . . Miss MARION BAKER MR. WALTER BJORAKER MR. EARLE OBERMEYER Behind the expertly prepared lunches of the cafeteria and the well-kept buildings of our school is an efficient and cooperative custodian and cafeteria staff, which deserve our praise and appreciation. Well-deserving of our praise, but often unrecognized, are the slip-collectors, hall patrol workers, cafeteria patrol, office helpers, library assistants, and all other students who have voluntarily served our school this past year in jobs which require time and energy.

' ' 32 This fall Mr. Moeller produced another big suc- cess, Feathers in a Gale. This period play was about three widows threatened by the vendue , a law which made them slaves if they failed to pay their debts. Darlene Mathesen and Martha Devery were saved by the third widow, Ann Christiansen who managed to snare George Howell, a dashing sea- captain, in time to help them. With an excellent supporting cast, the play was one of our best. , . . Brother Goose A new project was last year's summer play. Brother Goose , a riotous farce, was produced by Mr Moeller and a cast selected from a variety of classmen and graduated seniors. There was a job for every one who was interested, and many participated. The play concerned a bachelor, elder brother Bob Boldt, saddled with the responsibility of a house and the rearing of 3 frolicksome teen-age terrors. A traveling hose salesman Lark Hargraves, sold him some sox, and then stayed to control Dave Davidson, Zelda Oxner and Carol Power, his three charges. On The Air. .

Honor Society The Rochester chapter of the Na- tional Honor Society does not under- take or promote any activities, but its chief purpose is to create an enthusiasm for good scholarship. In general the members hold positions of leadership in the school activities. Students selected in their junior year are chosen on the basis of scholar- ship alone. Ten per cent of the senior class is chosen chiefly on scholarship, though consideration is given to character, leadership and willingness to render service. Under the leader- ship of Miss Ramer, their sponsor, the National Honor Society holds one assembly a year at which the new members are inducted. 40 Back Row: Marguerite Margellos, Richard Fryer, Anne Cutshall, james Mortensen, Viola Kutcher, Charles Binger, Audrey Slight.

The Red and Black warriors, since they were much lighter this year than last, changed their style of play to a much faster, trickier game. This T-formation strategy paid dividends in the form of long yard-eating runs, and, most important of all, won games.

Black cage club put on many a thrilling game at the well-filled arena of the Civic auditorium. Ending up the Big Nine race with a 5 - 5 record, they showed opponents the flashiest set of guards in the loop in Davey Vine and Shorty Cochrane. Among the seasonls highlights were the two hair-raisers with bitter rival Austin, the Anoka clash here, and the final win over Northfield. l 'I .

Right: The dark side of life, RHS cheerleaders turn on the gloom as the other team scores. 45 The loss of eleven lettermen did little to stop hockey in RHS this year. Coach Merle Davey turned out a surprising '48 ice aggregation which downed the Twin Cities' best before bowing in the state tournament. The puckchasers' first test came against St. Paul Academy, with the locals racking up a surprising 5-3 win. To show they were no flash in the pan, they then downed a fast Minneapolis Central six, 2-1. The following Saturday the icemen suffered their first setback at the hands of a revengeful SPA sextet, 1-0. Next week the surprising skaters turned in a stun- ner, 6-2, against the much-vaunted North High Polars. Dale Gray and Bill Rousseau led the squad to a crushing 10-1 victory over Northfield in Region One's first hockey tournament. A goal with 25 seconds left to play doomed jerry Nichols' hopes for a shutout. pucksters held the mighty Eveleth goal-getting machine to a 7-2 score in the first round of state tournament play. This was the best showing made in the state tournament against the champs. In contrast, the worst game of the year came the In their best game of the year, the Red and Black X lf Q 7 next day against the Washburn Millers of Minneapolis, X when the locals bowed, 6-1, to end their state tournament play and the season.

Although they were nosed out of a fourth consecutive Big Nine championship in their final match, Coach Clyde Ridenour's wrestling squad turned in another impressive season slate this year. The Rocket grapplers racked up eight wins before dropping the finishing tiff to Austin for an .888 average. Outstand- ing in the schedule, however, was the first Rochester win over the perennially strong Cresco Iowans, which helped keep the record of 14 consecutive home mat wins intact. 4 - i v ' I Nm., V' I r ff, V S, izssisizi , ' Ms A , V ' ffl il4'5 ' W S' rri' .-.i , Y. yr fi liizzvmffi 'gi A. 43 we - W i f. ?

Nine of the local grapplers qualified for regional competition as Rochester won the sub-regional with 56 points. In the regional, however, Austin took top honors, and only four of the locals qualified for state tourna- ment competition. Brough and Cravath each took a third place in the state meet, while Folkert lost a ref 's decision and Passe was out-pointed. Spring Sportsters. . .

Showing surprising power under the able tutelage of Coach Evar Silvernagle, the Rocket tankmen marked up seven wins against two losses for a 777. season average. Austin proved the only squad able to beat the Red and Black mermen, who outscored their opponents this year, 237 to 387.

A 49 - 17 win over Pillsbury Academy started the tankers off on the right foot, but powerful Austin invaded the following week to gain a 42 - 24 victory. Bill Reed got the only two Rocket individual Firsts, but the Schinke-Cates-Binger-Reed relay team copped top honors in the 160-yard event. The locals broke back into the win column again against Carleton College's freshmen, 45 - 21. Next victims of the Red and Black marines were the boys from Winona, who fell by 47 - 19. The Gate Citians were able to gain only one first in the contest. After Pillsbury had again felt the Rochester axe Cthis time by 58 to 171, Austin put the second blot on the record, 51 - 15. A two-day trip to St. Paul gave RHS a clean sweep. The splashers downed St. Thomas by 46 - 40 and went on to drop Minneapolis Roosevelt, 53 - 22. A 53 - 22 win over Winona wound up the season. Cates, Reed, Schinke and Spock turned in winning performances for the locals, while both relay teams were victorious. T?

Though the gymnasts were nosed out by only a few points in their two meets against their traditional rival, New Ulm, they showed great promise this year. At Mankato, where the Rockets were in competition with strong teams from Fairmont, Mankato New Ulm, Madison, and Worthington, the bar-men gave a good account of themselves. An unexpected snowstorm kept the gymnasts from attending the Northwest Meet at the University of Minnesota, just at a time when Coach Bruno Beckman says his athletes were at their peak. Lind Cranston, captain of the squad, and George Bingham are the only two seniors to be lost next year. Lettermen on Beckman's squad this year were Gary Toogood, David Cutshall, James Anderson, Glenn French, Richard Brehmer and Harlowe Eppard. Noel Gray, D011 Dallmafl, Dale Hunt, Jerry Cotton, Don Benson and Dave Cutshall will be coming up to the squad next year. The gymnasts should be remembered not only for their part in the talent assembly fwhere they almost got first placej, but for their hair-raising performance between halves of basketball games where they always thrilled the crowds.
