Astrologers explain that this age of sociability succeeds the age of pisces, an era of approximately two thousand years preoccupied with the crucifixion of Christ. In this new age, we are told, humanity will come to focus on the joy of His resurrection. Astrologers differ on the exact commencement of the Age: some say it began in 1900, some say not until 2000, still others claim 1970. For our purposes, of course, the latter opinion is best. We hope that after visiting our ver- sion ofthe 1969-70 school year, we will have put you in the proper mood for the Age of Aquarius. Aquarius The Aquarian has a deep love for humanity, harmony, and peace. He realizes that the human race must be trained in order for these conditions to be universal, so he is often an educator or at least a layman concerned with education. He may be an extremely talented, creative artist as well. Ken Greiner is all these things. In his two years at Rock Port, he has been responsible for Well over thirty in- dividual and group honors achieved by the music department. But he has accomplished much more than this. He has reached an ultimate goal of a teacher: he has made his students want to learn. Even if this is all he ever accomplishesewhich is doubtful- he has greatly contributed to the Age of Aquarius. Dedication AMN MEMBERS OF THE BOARD: Dr. D. C. Gallup, Bill Stoner, president, Don Hendrix, treasurerg Harrison Bailey, vice-president, Charlee Garst, and Mrs. Marlene Copeland. Board of Education After months of effort, the Board of Education finally gained a successful ballot on the elementary school bond. With this achievement, it assured better learning facilities for the young people of the future. The students of Rock Port appreciate and thank the board for their efforts and hours of work. Their consideration for the present students and those of the future is acknowledged in their success. Pictured at the right is Mrs. Jennie Howell, secretary to the board, and below is the beginning construction of the new elementary school on April 8, 1970. Faculty Libra The sign of Libra is, above all, a sign of justice. The Libran instinctively strains to carefully weigh and compare each different side of a question be- fore making even a seemingly incone sequential decision. Not only is he fair, but he is an admirer of art, beauty, and knowledge. He is sociable, likeable, and pleasant, yet extremely studious, always using his talents to the utmost. Therefore, the Libran is not only a natural leader, but an ami- able, temperate, creative one as well. The person with these qualities, with- out a doubt, would make a perfect teacher for the Age of Aquarius. Administration The Administration has been a great help to the students this year. They were there when a student needed help with istration has made this year a year to remember. The stu- dents would like to thank them at this time. si mmm 3 .Ju High School Principal-Mr. Gerald Shineman: B.S., Superintendent of Schools-Mr. T.R.

Cleftj Science The math and science departments were very busy this year as there were many new teaching techniques and experiments conducted. The algebra and geometry classes learned the age old theorms and postulets so they might progress to a higher class. In biology, experiments were tried with white mice concerning genetics, One of the highlights of the year in chemistry was the making of beer. ln psychology students learned to better understand themselves and their environment due to their studies All in all it was a very progressive year for these two departments.

B.S., NWMSC Music ln retrospect, this yearis music de- partment undoubtedly goes down as one of the best on record. Besides the top rating at contest, there were con- certs for high school, junior high, and grade school. These were enjoyed by each person who watched and listened to them. Mr. Greiner taught high school and junior high band and chorus, and be- ginning band. Miss Baumli was in charge ofthe elementry music. She also accompanied the other groups. so-Q s f iirunnnui ,sf --.:.,- .fr :.,. j.,,.,W . f.. t.r, .U . . . . .Q ., we It takes a very big boy to play a big horn.

Both feel pretty much unshackled by societyg and, although they are re- latively free from the opinions of others, they are aware of the necessity for the latter's support, and so strive to keep themselves and their beliefs attractive. They are bold and aggres- sive: if they fail to be first with a new idea, they try to be the first to use it or succeed with it, sometimes to their later regret. They can be somewhat narrow-minded and tactless by a strong belief in their opinions. But neither are content to let life ride by: they attack it whole heartedly. They will not miss the Age of Aquarius. Barry E. Gaines Thomas Paul Graves Kathryn S. Harmon Nancy W. Harmon Peggy A. Harris Kathleen L. Hays Wlvizwwf' ' Larry D- Hecker Ricky G.

The Leo's leadership qualities are only matched by his ability to physically do most of what is demanded of him by others. He is outspoken but not petty, broadminded yet dogmatic. He is an actor and a showman, and a perfectionist with himself and others. He is individual- istic and creative, but perhaps because of all these virtues he has one major fault: arrogance. He is often pompous to the point of snobberyg he claims democratic ideals when performing autocratic actions. Yet, with his love for life, enthusiasm, and abilities, he may take the lead in the Age of Aquarius.

The close ofthe Sophomore year marked the half-way point in their struggle to gain knowledge at RPHS. However, it was not all workg activi- ties played a major part in their educa- tion. One ofthe most exciting parts of playing the role as a Sophomore was getting revenge on the unsuspecting Freshmen and being one grade higher in rank. Sophomores Cancer Cancer is perhaps the most inner- directed and passive sign of the zodiac. The Sophomore year is often the time most accordant to this-if any year of high school is. The year of adjustment is over, the year of activity not yet be- gun. A Sophomore, like the Cancerian, is basically weak, timid, and lacking in self-confidence. He covers up for it with bravado, ostentation, and bluff- ing others into submission. Intro- spective, domestic, and unquestionably loyal, he is still a participant-and an asset-in the Age of Aquarius.

' I ' 1 Freshmen Scorpio It is a rare Freshman-high school, college, or Senator-who does not immediately attempt to challenge the status quo, or, in the vernacular, the establishment. This is the congenital instinct of the Scorpio-to revolt. He revolts against even his own beliefs, for he believes that truth without questioning is false. Despite what his elders may believe, the Freshman, as the Scorpio, is shrewd and difficult to deceive. Both, however, tend still to- ward a few childish attitudes, for they are somewhat overly sensitive and thinskinned, tricky and pompous, but their urge to rebel may guide the direction of the Age of Aquarius.

He not only discrim- inates with his own work, but with his ability to make a very frank and accurate criticism, he is often disliked by others. He is not aggressive, but seizes upon solutions to problems as the problems come. Often a Virgo is more interested in solving minute problems than in tackling the huge problems of the World. Like a Junior High student, he can be timid and , self-pitying, but, again like the stu- dent, he has a love for order, and consequently, a love for peace. In that capacity, he will be welcome in the Age of Aquarius. Grade Agate . , .

This year when school started the band took to the streets to show their abilities at marching. The band Won first place at Oregon and Maryville Col- lege's band Day. They also marched at Nebraska City and the Maryville Col- lege Homecoming. When cold weather arrived, they took to the inside for Mass Band, Con- test, and of course, a concert. They kept up their marching spirit, though, by playing at all pep assemblies and at some sports events. Wk, Organ iza tions Capricorn More often than not, an active member of an organization must pos- sess a number of virtues, not the least of them, patience, perseverance, and strength. He has these and many other qualities in common with the person born under Capricorn. Both are thoughtful, courteous, and enjoy help- ing out whenever possible. Both like a free hand better than an iron one in a leadership situation, but still like to follow tradition most of the time. One of the strongest drives of a Capricornian is to organize his surroundings in order to accomplish his important goals. By doing this, he can cause much good in the Age of Aquarius. ,, , M.-. ,,M, . ..-MM- - Carpenter, K. Curry, B. Stubblefield, D. Meyerkorth, Thompson, P. Shineman, Mr. Greiner, J. Polson, B. L.

In- stead of being a quick fifty-three steps from the Principal's office, it seemed more like fifty-three hundred yards. They went on bravely, slaving to accomplish more than ever be- fore. Besides filling the Bluejay Corner every week and contributing heavily to the sport's pages, they complied the largest yearbook in the history of RPHS.

Activities Sagittarius The out-going, aggressive character of Sagittarius typifies the participant and the observer of the multitudinous activities that took place this past year The Sagittarian loves life, finding time for almost all forms of expression and recreation. He could have kept busy this year, with his natural affinity for music, art, drama, pageantry, and es- pecially sports. To the Sagittarian nothing is impossible, and he spares no effort to reach the high goals he has set for himself. Many active students this year set high goals for themselves and achieved them-an excellent start for the Age of Aquarius. 7969 Court These are the students honored by the student body as representatives of their respective classes to escort the King and Queen.

Mass Band In November, Rock Port was the host school for the county-wide Mass Band Festival. Each year Fairfax, Tar- l kio, and Rock Port meet at a different school and combine their concert bands under the direction of college instructors. This day-long session turned out to be quite a bit of fun as Well as educational. After rehearsing all day, the band put on a concert the evening. The directors this year were Ward Rounds, frightj from in NWMSC at Maryville, and Gilbert Wil- son, fleftj from Peru State College, Peru, Nebraska.

His body is something to be proud of, and he is proud of it. He shows it by keeping his body in the best of con- dition and appearance. Mentally, he is conservative but ambitious, stoic and strong, often stubborn and-well-ebul1- headed. He rarely bothers to criticize others, but merely rights the wrong they have done. Usually passive and quiet, when aroused, he can become superhuman. He is not impulsive, but calculating and careful. He will be one witl1 his feet on the ground in the Age of Aquarius. FRONT ROW: J.

The students learned to read, count, and show concern for others. In science, many experiments intro- duced them to a new world around them. People of other lands become more real to them in their studies of the world. Many handmade decorations adorned their room the year around. It convinced many young people that school was not so bad after all. When Mrs. Reid took a leave of ab- sence to finish her degree, Mrs. Nancy McClane, was hired to finish out the school year. Elementary Pisces The Piscean has a number of attri- butes, among them, a bright, generous personality spiced with a great sense of humor, and an ability, not only to dream, but to make dreams into real- ity. He is, however, easily impressed and influenced by others' desires and beliefs. For an adult, this could easily be classed as a fault, but for elementary students it is more than just an attri- bute, it is common. This is why they go to school-to learn the basic de- mands, requirements, and conforma- tions of society-before they start out ' to improve it. They will improve be- cause they must, for they must live their lives in the Age of Aquarius. i i . siapffrr' 1- rs 1 2. .y L ,.,. B I .L .. kg ' 9, .I fs 'V I I.

They were introduced to cur- P' fysi i . sive writing, which undoubtedly placed them a step above their second- R may grade friends. They groomed their .ll map-making and reading abilities at the other end of the graphic spectrum. Their taste for drama was whetted by a trip to NWMSC to see Aesopis Fables. They studied American History, and studied the construction of houses so thoroughly that they built their own models for display. The study of wea- ther was a major facet of their learn- ing of science. The kids were away from the hustle and confusion of Rock Port, but they found that the travel time to Langdon made work a little harder Qoppositej. rf.

School traditionally teaches children to be better citi- zens of their own countryg but the fourth grade this year was indoctrinated to be better citizens of the world. In their study ofthe United Nations, each student specialized on a country with a notebook, aided by films, and a mural ofthe world. The students moved closer to an understand- ing of Asia by staging a Japanese party, and writing HAIKU, a form of Japanese poetry. Speaking of literature, one class held a party for their favorite storybook characters, mak- ing them come alive for the rest of the class. In the spring, they studied Missouri and Atchison County, and were in- troduced to the increasingly important science of ecology. Like the third grade, the kids almost enjoyed being away from Rock Port, especially considering the hot lunches fleftj. Almost Qabovej. Grade 1 g yda xv. - W i W.. .

Everyone enjoyed the science units, especially the ones on Oceanography and the study of the human body. Highlights of the year were the class trip to Maryville to see Aesop,s Fa- bles and the basketball games. Both the girls' and the Boys' teams played at half time during several of the high ss school games. x S Q s - Q... Y -Q J.

Besides extra activities, such as basketball and football fleftj, they studied the usual subjects-but with a difference. Emphasis was on research, resulting in such diverse projects as book illus- trations and electric generators foppo- site, leftj. The study of history and geography embraced the entire globe, from medieval Europe to modern-day Mexico. Their explorations in science reached from physics to psychology to ecology. Mrs. NiXon's class even startled her before Christmas with a visit by Santa and his elves which they had arranged frightj. The kids and their teachers may not always see eye-to-eye, but they all agree on one thing: the Class of '76 can't wait to get intojunior high. , gi 0 . 42 Q ,fi I I ws ' 1 f 'A ' f ' ' ,, -if . ,, ' K in i 7 l 55 B MM J Y If Q V - :jf -iwzgfr g,-Hw,. 1 -ga , I V ,,:, ifl 3, , I- W 1 1 in ' VI- 7 WJ' ' A . bf ,f ' My ' xv mf' fi 13 J?

THIRD ROW: J. Bowers, H. Hurst, L. Morrison, J. Ducey. Beginning Band This year the beginning band had many exciting experi- ences. This was a whole new panorama of knowledge. Those mysterious little black marks on paper magically were transformed into beautiful melodies. For grade school students, this was the first step to high school and its way of life. With all the talent shown this year, it is certain that the high school has much to look for- ward to. In order to know what was happening, students had to hang onto Mr. Greiner's every word. 4 .4-w+'J M' ,wwe X we V' , ,, W ,f Speciaf Education si.. .li iw This year the Special Education students attended class in one ofthe new trailers. Here they learned how to tell time and made special art projects. One of their favorite subjects was Watching SESAME STREET on television. Warren Grebe and Caroline Klennne were chosen good citizens for the sec- ond quarter. The first quarter recipients were Steve Davis and Debbie Knierim. Good School Citizens Each quarter a good school citizen was chosen by the National Honor Society. ln order to qualify for this honor, students had to show out- standing characteristics of all facets of citizenship. All these students were then voted upon by the NHS to find the outstanding boy and girl for citizens of the quarter. Chosen for third quarter citizenship were Jackie Burke and Steve Sliineman. wzqtfwxib fi? r'5i3 li,C S.1 'i as 17' of Q Eb' 2 i tc Diane Rolf and Mark Howell were fourth quarter examples of good citi- zenship and service. S X lx S as Honors Gemini A person born under the sign of Gemini often seems to have a dual per- sonality. He can quickly change from one temperament, interest, or opinion to its opposite. But where he has common ground with the honor stu- dent is in his intellectual motivation, his excellent memory, his universal curiosity, his alert and open mind, and a sometimes unfortunate habit of doing too many things at once. The honor student, however, often is so because he can do that and get away with it-very successfully. lt is perhaps ironic that the highest, most- prestigious honor a high school can award is the one nearly all earn. Ironic, but good: they will surely need and use it in the Age of Aquarius. Barbara Noellsch, Valedictorian, GPA 10.56 Rick Meyerkorth, Salutatorian, GPA 10.15. Top R.P.H.S. Scholars Special recognition is always given to the student in each class who has earned the highest grade point average QGPAJ for the year. This year there were only two high school students to be on the E-honor roll all four Ji - quarters. These students were Barbara Noellsch and Jim Polson fTop, far lefty Jim . . maintained a GPA of 9.16 for . all four years. The junior with the highest GPA was Jeff Copeland fTop, middlej with a GPA of 10.00. Jackie Burke fTop, rightj achieved the top average in the sophomore class with 10.37. The freshmen class had a three way tie ofa 10.40 GPA between Debbie Knierim fLower leftj, Lori Greenley fLower middlej, and Cheri Chapple flsower rightj. Honor There are certain rewards that come to lucky Rock Port High School students. Some of these people are elected by fellow classmates. Others are chosen according to deserving merit. But all of these honored are hard-earned and long remembered by those winning them. This year, for the first time. Rock J Port was represented at the District Drama Contest at NWMSC. They pre- sented the modern play Interview, An excellent rating was earned, along with the opportunity to go to State Drama Contest in Columbia. The Rock Port group overwhelmed the judges and was one of the five schools from the entire state to gain an excellent rating. Fran Cox and Randy Bunn had the added distinction of being named third and fifth best actress and actor, respectively. Directed by Mrs. Jackie Henningsen, who was aided by student director John Cox, the cast was as follows, TOP ROW: Jim Polson, Bryan Cox, Randy Bunn, Bob Christy. BOTTOM ROW: Mrs. Henningsen, Ann Heyen, Ann Eilers, Fran Cox, and Janice Jackson. This year Rock Port had three students to rank among the Outstanding Teenager of America. These three were seniors and have served Rock Port for four long years. They are Diane Rolf, Rick Meyerkorth, and Barbara Noellsch. The traditional battle for Student Body President was waged again this year. Three boys, Bryan Cox, Jeff Cope- land, and Randy Bunn ran for office. Bryan will serve as vice-president of the student body next year. Randy emerged victorious and is shown making his campaign speech. ---...KW The 275 All-Conference football teams were graced by several Rock Port players this year. They were KTOP ROWJ Rick Meyerkorth, Barry Gaines, Jeff Copeland, and Tom Graves. CFRONT ROWJ Steve Davis, Randy Bunn, John Cox, and Ron Oswald. Jonna Kirk and Lisa Wessler were the only Rock Port girls to make the 275 All-Conference basketball teams. Rick Meyerkorth and Richard Makings were the boy representatives to the teams. :lf I I I S seeetfe iff ese p Each year the sophomores vote to elect a person to make a iii' J i'iiiii:i p J sophomore pilgrimage to Jefferson City.

The end of one era and the beginning of another is shown in the traditional presentation of the school key from Barbara Noellsch to the new student Body President, Randy Bunn. Senior class day, Baccalaureate, Commencementfall seem designed to impart to the graduating senior a sense of nostalgiag a sense oflossg a sense of uncertainty, Where he Wants to click his heels together but something in the pit of his stomach Won't let him. With this, they usually have moderate success. They are also often successful in fulfilling their obstensible goal: to spur the graduate on to greater achievement. This year's Baccalaureate and Commencement programs were keynoted, respectively, by the Rev. Jan Weston and Mr. Ernie Mehl. Both urged the Class of 1970 to love their fellow men and women, not fear themg and to remember that they themselves are men and women. Perhaps time Will shovv the success of the speakers' efforts on Valedictorian Barbara Noellsch, Salutatorian Rick Meyerkorth, and their peers. Graduation E ercises Graduation is a near-perfect epitome of life. lt is like a mountain promontory: from a distance, it looks as pointed as a needle, high above all elseg but once there, the graduate realizes that it's not really that high, and, far from being pointed, looks about as flat as anywhere else. Not that one doesnit get a feeling of exhilaration as everyone stands in his honor as he marches out, clasping his diplomag but he still worries about keeping in step and where's-Dad-with- the camera and he doesn't really believe it is all happening. He wants to pinch himself, but not in front of all these people. Even as he steps out.the door, the shout of liberation he has planned for at least four years, if not stuck in his throat, comes out with a little less than impassioned fervor. Then he hurries. He hurries to get rid of his cap and gown, to get out, any- where-and then it hits him. Suddenly he realizes, he doesnlt know. He, simply, more than at any other time, knows that he does not know.
