FISHER NEWTON MCCORD MARY SWITZER MORRIS SWIER WAYNE KILBURN Page Fomierm Senior Class Tm: UPENING of school in the autumn of 1918 found the R. H. S. class Cf '30 :11 its beginning. '1 he Original eight at that time convened at the Rockville Grade School building for the purpose of issuing their first challenge to the field of knowledge. At the same time other members of the present group were launching their educational careers in various other institutions of elementary learning, During the years that followed these ncharter members were joined by others thSe dentiny it was to form a part of one of the greatest graduatingr classes ever to pass through the doors of our dear old high school. Ummticed these folk struggled on with a common goal in view. Not until the class had completed graded school and was ready for its departure from those early surroundings, were its talents and accomplishments given much attention. Even then it was noticed remarkably little. The following year, 1926, a most promising group entered upon its first term of high school life, The group was given a new background and the change proved- prohtable, for its members took a new interest in academic affairs, progressing accordingly. In the faculty, which took the place of just iteachersi, each student found advisors ever willing to help a puzzled tfreshiet in distress. Before the close of this hrst winter the class of ,30 began to give indications of the record it was to establish and the part it was to play in the activities of R. H. St As Sophomores, the next September, these folks returned to school joyous to Find that, at last, they were not sheep among the wolves, but had taken their places as wolves themselves. The fact that there was at least one group beneath them was gratifying. The Junior year was even more successful than the previous term. Soon after the opening of school the class election was held with the following results: President, Margaret Martin; vice-president, Clifford Adams; secretarye treasurer, Robert Barr; student council, Chester Priest and Edith Fisher. Miss Maple was selected as faculty advisor, During the early weeks of the school year class rings were selected and the task of making money, with which to publish the annual, and give the Junior-Senior reception began This money was raised through dues and the sale of candy at basket-ball games and during the 110011-hour. In their attempt to give the graduates a fitting farewell the Juniors were successfult But such was the case only after a struggle. The labors of the class were not in vain, for the reception came up to the standard of any ever given The steady progress. as a class. was not slackened upon entrance into the senior year. XVork and responsibility were faced with the solemn determination to conquer and they were conquered. One at the first steps taken was to select rnmmeneement invitations. That another edition of the HRex3y be issued in 1930 Was unanimously agreed upon soon after the organization of the class. The position as editorein-chief was assigned Marian Brockway while Margaret Martin 1930 Page Fifteen WAAAWwav-WT H E R 0 wawwwwwwvwwvww was chosen Business Manager. Together with the faculty advisor these officials appointed the remainder of the start The class play, reception, Baccalaureate sermon, and other annual events were held with equal degrees of success. Of course the Commencement, and with it the diploma, was the one occasion anticipated with the greatest joy. Needless to say, the graduates breathed a sigh of relief when the event was claimed by the past The happy ending of a public school career and the thoughts of gaiety and merry moments that were gone forever caused joy and sorrow to be blended in the spirit of each individual as he set forth to seek renown in greater worlds. Of its accomplishments, this group, the class 0f 30, is justified in being proud. T0 the various organizations, including athletic teams, band, orchestra. and glee dubs it has fully contributed. The inter class basketball tournament was won by representatives of the senior class. The class organizations Hi H, H. and W. O. W. also played their part in the yearis success. The class, in short, is well balanced, some excelling in all fields and as a group, is well above the average. The officers during the senior term were: Clifford Adams, president; Marian Brockway, viceepresident; Robert Barr, secretaryrtreasurer; mid Mr. Klayer, faculty advisor. 1930 Page Sixteen Pagc chntcm WE, WHO came on a bright Scptcmbcr morn in 1928 t0 R.H.S. looking so utterly lmpclcss and unpromising, really did become Sophomores after the many trials and tribulations of our Freshman year. Many of these were inflicted upon us by those odd people then called Sophomores Our second year was spent in working hard on our studies as we have always done, LU also 111 helping the Freshmen to appreciate our superiority and setting an excellent example for all Sophomore classes 1n the future Believe it or not. Thus when we came again in September 1929, we were getting well acquainted with the 11311:: staircases, and class rooms m R,H,S.. and we, the jolly Jumors, even had the satisfactlon of being called uppenclassmen, During the hrst semester wc hought our class rings that people might know who we were and where we were from. Them. having a little money on hand, we realized that something must be done to expand the treasury. XVe accomplished our desires by our salesmanship and ballyhno employed in selling our candy and chewing gum on all suitable occasions. The Junior class of 1930 has contributed to all High School activities. XVe are proud of our members on the RoxiEcho stuff. of the members taking part in athleticsl and those work- ing in Glee Clubs, orchestra, and hand. The class officers are: President, Richard Bloomer; V 0 President. Charles VVhitesell; SecretaryeTreasurer. Glenn Keefe: Historian. Sheridan Samlfnrd: Class Sponsar.

T H E R O Xxm Sophomore Class uWHAT on earth could those green things be ?l' exclaimed a number from our worthy class that September morning in 1929, pointmg t0 the tinnd countenanccs standing 0n the threshold of R.H.SV One very bold boy, maybe it was John Fisher, spoke, l'Pardon me, but we are Freshmen. Ah! we at last began to realize it was up to us to welcome these youngsters and to make them glad they had journeyed over from the grade building So being very hospitable, we led them trembling into these halls of fame. Gradually they emerged from this green stage, so to climax there arrival the Sophomores with the help of the other two classes gave two parties, one for the freshman girls and the other for the boys. They yielded to our mastery and we decided their welcome was complete. After this other important business had been carefully attended to, it was thought high time to choose the ofticers tor the class. The result of the decision was Robert Taylor, president; Vincent W'artlen, vice-president; Lucille Haworth, secretarytreasurcr; Louise Smith, and Carl McMillilL student council; and Miss Banta, laeulty sponson This choice proved to be a wise one and these officers rendered excellent service to the C135 On October 29, the class feeling that a frolic was needed to divert themselves from the studies which hatl become rather depressing, held a Halloween party at Lucille Hawortlh's home. Delightful refreshments were served and although a few dark futures were predicted by the fortune teller, all arrived home safely without being captured by spooks. Our class, and also the entire school is very proud of the members who have achieved high recognition in the extra curricular activities. Arerft we all especially proud of those three boys who did so much for the team, and also those who hare boosted the music organ- izations? Indeed the Sophomore class is prnutl aml admires all who have helped make R.H.S. bigger and better, 1930 Page Twenty WVWMWWWWWT H E R 0 Xw-MAMwvwwwwmww Hal.

ON THAT ever memorable day, September 9, 1929, we freshmen made our first appearance in the majestic halls of the Rockville High School. Many of you know how we felt, and can sympathize with us. After two weeks of hazing and after the initiation parties, we felt ourselves a part of the schoolehonorable members of the Rockville High School, We then saw the need of emcers for our promising class, and elected them accordingly: President, Herman Smiley; Vice-pregident, Mildred Jessup; Secretary-Treasurer, Frances Martin; Faculty Adviser, Miss Collms; Student Council, Rosetta Harrison and Dennis Warren. We decided to have a party on Halloween. We dressed appropriately and the party was voted 3 great success. Nothing also happened until the Semester exams which made us realize we had to study to stay in R,H.S. Quite a few members of our class were associated with the orchestra, Glee Clubs and band. Frank Lee was a member of the first squad in basketballt Although we are but freshmen in the eyes of the general public let it be lmuwn that we have high hopes far the members of our class, 1030 Page Twat 'y-mvo JJWJMAMI , ,VMAAANNWMNT H E R O XL, ,L , ,L NW 63 Jay .. 4V Lucy r fsmgz f3:;; 677 Hwy Tzwufyflmm T H E R O XVWWW ' ' 3 '32; s Mn n 739;fo Q i? n L? r, 7. il' ha fwvywrzwk Page Twentyfom Cw XW gKak?

As the Final whistle blew the boys from up north were trailing, 30-27. Rockville showed in this game the promise of a good basketbah season. In a very ciose1y contested batt1e at the 10ca1 gymnasium, with Marshali, November the first. the B1ue and White quintet succeeded in winning its second game of the season. The score was Close at 2111 times, and not until the game was over did R. H. S have twu Victories and no defeat. Probably Rockvi11e,s greatest rival in the haSkethall w01'1d is XVaveland, November the eighth it was time for another battle between the two to determine the superior. The Visitors led at the ha1f, but the Rnxmen came back in the hna1 minutes to will by a score of 25-18. Lee1s passing and Bradhum's shooting put the game on ice in the finishing half. Soon the Van Buren Hi quintet traveied from afar and met Rockviile with the determination to take home with them the victory ; they were, however, disappointed, for when the smoke cleared up from the gym Hoor the score was 21-147R0Ckvilie,s favor. The fourth game 011 the season was with h'10ntezt11na, For two years the Rox had been beaten by the Aztecs, but 011 November twenty-second tables were turned, and the boys came out on the long end of a 31-20 score. On November sixteenth the Parke County Roxmen made a journey across the Wabash t0 Dana. Here they met with Danafs Five and played a wonderfu1 game Of haskethaH with a winning score of 23-20. Last year. Cayuga completely smothered the Bhie and White, and revenge was 011 every player's mind when he entered the game with them this season. ROCkYiiie led at the half and continued doing so in the second part of the game, winning with a score of 34-17, Mecca is always a hard Fighting team and they were the first and Only ones to beat the local quintet on their home Hoar.

Coach Klayer's tFighting Five had defeated Marshall on the locai tioor, and 011 December thirteenth they met on the Marshall Hour to play, It was a good game and sportmanship was shown on both teams. The score at the half was 10-10. Rockville finished ahead by a score of 31-23. Russeilviile usually returns games with the Rox. It seemed they were un- fortunate, as they lost their second game with us. tP1aying oince before at the beginning of the season they were defeatedi. In our second game with them the score at the half was 19-9. Continual scoring gave the Rox team a Victory Ht 32-13. 0 Page T'ZUCHIy-Uight The Greene Twprkockvillc game is ahvays anticipated, and this year the game was unusual1y good.

ROSEDALE On Saturday night the Colosseum was packed with spectators for the semal E11315 Of the County Tourney, for this determined who shOuId represent Parke County in the V2111ey hnals. Rosedale was a hard tighting 1itt1e team. This was probably the most exciting game of the day We were successful in having the lead at the haIf with a 13A11 score; but Rosedale, still Eghting, was in the Iead 15713 at the third quarter. Lee, our freshman forward, tied the stormithe gun sounded In an overtime play Rox was successful in defeating Rosedzde 21'17. Marshah High backed Our team and we indeed appreciated their support.

It was the privilege of our concert band to he asked to play at Clinton for the homecoming football game between Clinton and Shortridge. This invitation was accepted and the band headed the parade. All the home basketball games and many of those away from here were enlivened by spirited and peppy selections which cheered the Rox and Rox meters in victory or defeat.

He Claimed he was an old friend. Of course, many persons attempted to gain audience with me through this alibi and I was somewhat inclined to disbelieve it; however I had Kilburn, the secretary, show him up. As the stranger entered, wearing an old biuc sweater with a dirty white R on it, I did feel something akin to recognition; and yet, who could it be? He carefully extinguished the half-smokcd cigarette he had been enjoying and put it in his pocket before addressing mev then I remembered. Why itIs Hixon! XVhat brought you here? I asked, secretly noting the Satchel he hare. men, he replied, my wife and I decided to get out a hook on the doings of all our ald class- mates; what they were domg, you know.
