It seems only a short time ago since these young men were students in Rockville High School. Then they were looking forward to graduation time and with the enthusiasm of youth were eager to get out into the world. Upon graduation some of them entered upon business careers, some accepted employment in in- dustry, while others entered college. Then came World War II. None of them wanted to go to war and leave their families and friends, but their patriot- ism and the realization that our Country was in danger impelled them to brave the dangers and to do their best for the cause of humanity. They went through harsh disciplinary training and in due time were sent out upon the seas and through the air to strange continents and lonely islands. They were afraid in battle for they loved life, yet through courage and bravery they kept going forward in the face of death. But the angel of death met them in strange lands and on far distant seas, thus ending their earthly hopes, dreams, and ambitions. Let us think of them as somewhere out there in infinity beyond the stars where their expanded vision sees beyond the clouds of today and glimpses the dawn of a new world--a world freed fran the fetters of greed and base ambition--a world in which the rights of man are recognized and respected, and a world that shall see the culmination of the brotherhood of mankind, where men will no longer shed their blood on the battlefield and peace shall reign supreme. It is for us, the living, to dedicate ourselves and our lives to carry the torch which HOMER ARNOLD, JR., CHARLES BELL, RICHARD GRAHAM, MALCOLM GROSS, JOHN HAVEY, FRED SMITH, ROBERT H. SMITH, PAUL TAYLOR, and CLAY THOMAS have passed on to us. Such supreme sacrifices must not be made in vain. --Claude Noble '33 QE cohort nm1LL lla? TUOWHH Malcolm Gross . . . . 3 -.

They neither knew nor cared how closely intermingled their lives were to become during the next twelve years for their chief interest at that time lay in the brightly colored new books and pencils of which they were the proud owners.

A small amount dropped behind in their classes or quit school entirely. On Aug. 31, l9L2 there were forty-five students enrolled in Rockville High School as freshmen. To them High School was a new and exciting adventure and it was with some consideration that they chose the courses they were to follow for the next four years. By the time they were sophomores they felt like Hold hands at the business.U The girls were eligible for membership in the Blue Triand many of the boys joined the Hi-Y. That year soon slipped into their memories of the past and the first thing they knew they were Juniors. This was a year of hard work selling Nhot dogs,U cokes and coffee at the ball games but everyone enjoyed it thoroughly. Nearing the close of that year they spent their hard earned money on a Junior-Senior Prom at the State Ballroom in Terre Haute which everyone proclaimed was an immense success. Then one morning they awoke feeling--Oh! so dignified and with a head chucked full of knowledge and they knew that at last they were Seniors! Most of them studied hard that year and eagerly planned their graduation exercises. They also collected a lot of happy memories at the various dances given by the different clubs and spent just a little time wondering what had happened to the last twelve years and just how R. H. S. proposes to get along without them. But they didn't bother themselves with such trivialities for very long and soon they were the grads of 'h6. The grad- uates of the original class are: Dick Collings Harold Haughee Ralph Pinegar Dick Lightle Wilbur Overpeck Richard Rozhon Delbert Smith The other graduates are: Dick Cantor Doris Alexander Bill Stover Paul Insley Dolores Clark Wilburn McManrnie Nelan Thompson John Swaim Margaret Fultz Betty Hobson Sue Hunnicutt Joan Kent Jean Lewis Polly Ward Harry Swaim Edna DePlanty Harold Wimmer Rozelle Jeffries Charles Havey Carrol Cronk Samoa Cmiss PRQPHECY While browsing around the Rockville Library, we came upon the annual of 19h6. Leafing through the pages, we happened to glance up and whom should we see but Harold Haughee, who was home on a visit. He tells us that he is now Athletic coach at Georgia Tech. He says the climate agrees with him and he loves those Georgia NPeaches!U We chatted awhile and then went back to looking at the pictures in the annual. We came upon the picture of Ralph Pinegar, Ralph and Harold were star football players a few years ago and now Ralph is a professional touring the world with great success. We decided to do a little window shopping and whom should we see dressing the window of the very exclusive dress shop but Sue Hunnicutt. we ventured in and she informed us that this was her own private enterprise. After visiting with Miss Hunnicutt for a few minutes, we decided to go to Chicago. We walked a few blocks to the airport and upon entering the plane, who should greet us but Polly Ward. She was dressed in the trim unifonn of an air hostess seats, the pilot ately reminded us stewardess who he said he liked the and looked very attractive. After being settled in our walked through the plane. He had red hair. This immedi- of the class president of the class of l9b6. we asked'de was and she informed us that it was Nelan Thompson. She air Corps so well that when he was discharged, he immedi- ately started working for Pan-American Airways. The trip to Chicago was spent very happily, because we happened to glance across the isle and see Harry Swaim. He was earring a large portfolio, which led us to believe he was a business man. We started chatting with him and found that he was manager of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. l The plane landed and we went into a telephone booth and called a taxi. When it arrived, who should the driver be, but Dick Collings. He must have thought he was still driving the jeep because he went through down town Chicago like a whirlwind. It happened almost too quick to see it, but all of a sudden there was a crash. Well we might have known it would be Bill Overpeck, still driving at the break-neck speed of his high school days. There was a mad scramble and who should step in to straighten things out but Harold Wimmer in the uniform of a traffic cop. He summoned an ambulance which arrived in a few minutes driven by Delbert Smith. A trim little nurse, Margaret Fultz, accompanied us to the hospital. we were checked over by a fat, baldheaded, red-faced doctor. we were greatly surprized to learn that he was another school friend, Doc McManimie. Fortunately we were not injured except for a few minor scratches and bruises, so he released us. Since he said he was going to lunch, we decided we were hungry too. Leaving the hospital we walked a few blocks to the WNifty Cafen, noticing that the pro- prietor was named Lightle. We asked the waitress who this man was and she explained that he was a classmate of hers, Dick Lightle and introduced her- self as Jean Lewis. We ordered our lunch and while waiting for our food started talking over school days. In a short time, Proprietor Lightle joined us and told us that he had gotten so tired of mopping floors in HSevillesW that he decided to have his own restaurant. He also said that a few days ago, Charles Havey came in to see him. Of course everyone knew who Mr. Havey was and Dick considered it a great honor to have such a noted artist come there. He said Charles had just come back from Paris where he had been studying. we then asked about some of the girls of the class. A- mong Dick, Dr. Mc and Jean we found out that: Dolores Clark, in spite of her life long declaration that she'd never live on a fann is now living on one near Bloomingdale, Indiana. She has developed a great fondness for birds, her favorite being the HJayH bird. Joan Kent is now busy housekeeping on a farm near Bloomingdale. Then we thought of our little Doris Alexander. No one ever thought that Doris Ann would ever be agriculture minded but she is now quite content raising little Htaters.N As we were preparing to leave the restaurant, we decided to go to New York for the night. The others declined our invitation to go as they de- clared that they were too busy. We departed and before we knew it we were in New York. There as we were walking down Fifth Avenue, before our eyes we saw a brilliantly lighted sign, saying that some Richard Rozhon and his orchestra were now playing. Wondering if it could be our own silver-throated trumpeter of high school days, we decided to go in and find out. Not only was it he but also there was -Bill Stover really swinging it as usual. The spotlight was thrown on the stage and a lovely soloist stepped up to sing. It was Betty Hobson singing in her same sweet voice. We left the night club early because we had rooms reserved at the Statler Hotel in Washington. we arrived in Washington quite late and went immediately to our hotel. As we entered, the receptionist, came to greetus. we thought we recognized that walk, It was Rozelle Jeffries. She called a bellboy to take us to our rooms. As soon as he spoke we knew it was J - o - h - n S - w - a - i - m. That drawl still lingered. The next morning we awoke bright and early and since it was Sunday we decided to go to church. We went to a nice suburban one. No one was sur- prised to learn that Paul Insley was the minister. Eweryone thought HPimU would end up as a preacher. After church, as we mingled with other people, Rev. Insley came back to us and talked with us. With him was Carol Cronk. Carol said that he was now living on a truck fann near Alexandria, Va. and was in Washington for the week-end. Later, as we were walking down the street, a very smartly dressed lady came out of an apartment house. It was Edna DePlanty. Her chauffer went in to get her luggage and we learned from her that she was going aboard fora few years, She asked us to accompany her to the ship. On the way down to the port we had a most pleasant visit with her. As she started to go aboard, the commander came down the gang plank. No one could mistake that curly hair. It was Dick Canter, Dick said thatkm was now commander of the UQueen Beverly.H Then after talking a while Edna and Dick left and we decided that we too should be leaving. On our trip back home we thought of the wonderful week-end we had had and hoped for many more as entertaining. --The Junior Class - 0 - -- SENIOR VV! LL- 'Twas the night before graduation When all through the school building, Not a creature was stirring ----- only Homer Qor so he thoughtl. M l What respectable janitors don't get away with these d ys. Who would have thought that Homer, good old Homer, would hustle about sweeping dirt under radiators as he is doing now. Why, he is even blowing his breath on the windows and writing his name in the steam. But he soon gives up that joy and begins hustling about picking up the many spit balls, paper wads, and straight pins from the floor. That proves to be quite a job and he is becoming slightly tired so he slowly begins whistling NHow Dry I amu as he moves through the cluttered aisles to the messy library and sits down to gaze contentedly at the latest edition of Esquire which he removes from be- hind that large Emily Post book. He just knew he saw Mr. Sears stick it there during the lst. period whe he thought no one was looking. Oh, what a wonderful magazine! Just look at those legs! Which reminds him of the drumstick in his sandwich he hid this morning. He cautiously takes down that big green book nwbrlds Oldest Reptilesn and there he sees his Dagwood special complete with drumstick, lettuce, mayonaise, peanut butter, catsup and cheese just as he left it. After munching on his delicious sandwich and looking at the world's most beautiful legs Qin his magazinelhe feels quite refreshed. But what is he going to do now? Why, he is sitting down at the piano and professionally picking out NBoogie Woogien just the way Mr. Noble taught him to do last evening after school Oh, to be able to cut a rug like that man Noble! But he hears a noise, a loud, harsh sobbing. Why, what could it be at this hour. The weeping grows more intense so he moves about to investigate. He slowly mounts the stairs. As he opens the door of room nine he has a sharp intake of breath and his eyes spring from their sockets. Why,it's the seniors! They've written their will to old R. H. S. and even though they would never admit it, they are beginning to hate to say good bye to the best school, and the best teachers, and the best students in the country. Well, since he is here he might as well read their last tribute to old R. H. S. so here is what they've written: I, Richard Rozhon, who has given up parkin Leave that right to Jimmy Hartman.

The class has been kept busy all year earning money for the Junior-Senior Prom. Money has been made by selling refreshments of all kinds at the ball games during the fall and winter. In the middle of January it was decided to sell potato chips at noon and at the remainder of the ball games. However this was discon- tinued in February. Before Christmas you could find the juniors asking everyone within sight if he would care to buy a box of Christmas cards. They succeeded in selling one hundred boxes. This helped fill the treasury quite a bit. Each member of the class was asked to pay dues of 90 cents a year. As a result of this labor, the class gathered the amount of 32ul.OO. A The most important activity of the junior class is, of course, the Prom, which will be held at the Student Union Building at Terre Haute, May lC. Decoration, Program, in- vitation and orchestra committees have worked busily trying to make this great social event a success. The class ordered their rings and pins in the fall of the year and ljoy! joylb they arrived just the day before Christmas vacation began. Everyone had a nice Christmas present. The juniors are all proud of their class jewelry. A party was held at Turkey Run, the 22 of April. The members went in the afternoon and had a hamburger fry that evening.e Officers of the class are as follows: President - - Donald Pratt Vice President - - Jane Neet , Secretary - - Mildred Fortner Treasurer - - Bill Shores Sponsors - - Mr. Noble Miss McCampbell A typical meeting of the junior class is like this one held on January 7, l946: vln the meeting of the class it was voted not to have a class play this year. The committee for selling coke at the ball games is: Jane, Kenneth and Pat. The discussion of plans for the Prom was getting under way. It was decided to have it on a Friday night. A com- mittee to investigate about an orchestra was appointed. It consisted of Ronald Donie, Jane Neet, Kenneth Hall, Pat O'Donnell and Miss McCampbell.W The Junior Class ,Q F Paul CO 'I U' W '1 I C :Y 0 5 B UQ Ile 5- . :: P -.-a e 5 N : U x D-' cz S, -Z.

Out of the 38, there are 23 who have been with us since that glorious day back in l936, which brought us all together for the first time in the first grade. Our class consists of the following members: Lennis Bemis Patricia Bruin Donath Byrant Frank Clodfelter Carolyn Coleman Joyce Fruits Dorval Jefferies Wayne Lear Donald McClain David McFaddin Kayne May ' Margaret Pratt Martha Seiglein Ernest Smiley Norma Spaw Amos Thomas Norma Vandivier Margaret Welch George Boyd Rosemary Bullock Jane Cahill Shirley Cooper Dale Farner Betty Jaco Wanda Jerome David Lee Reginia McClellan Phyllis Martin Edward Payton Joan Scott Darrel Skelton Norma Smith Bob Stoops Jim Trump Scott Vandivier Bert Wimmer We greeted into our class this year three new members who were Frank Clodfelter, Shirley Cooper, Scott Vandivier whovve hope will stay with us for quite some time. At the beginning of this year we chose Mr. Miller and Mrs. Senger for our class sponsors and elected as officers for l9A5-L6 the following: President - - Amos Thomas Vice President - - Margaret Pratt Secretary - Treasurer - -Reginia McClellan To make money this year our class sold potato chips at noon. Each member did his share while we were doing this. Our first party of the year was a hayride and Weiner roast held at Phyllis Martin's home: Bert Wimmer and Dorval Jefferies furnished the wagons. For our last party of our sophomore year, we had a party at Turkey Run State Park which was enjoyed by all. As Rosemary Bullock was not in school at the time the class pictures were taken her picture is not included in the sophomore class pictures. We wish to thank Mr. Miller and Mrs. Sanger for their cooperation in working with our class. A The Sophomore Class 'C lk vid llc Puddi n Betty Jaco 1 G' 1 ,, Lorena Brumblatt -3' Robert.

At least it is one of the most impressive ever turned out by Coach Sam McClellan. The team had had much experience as 5 seniors and 1 junior composed the starting lineup. Each of the outstanding players were returned letter- men from the 19LA season. The Rox were a high scoring machine. They piled up a total of 268 points while their opponents scored but 122. This gave the Rox an average of 33.5 points per game. The average of the opponents was 15.25. The fighting climax of a great season was the 66-7 defeat of Montezuma at Rockville. This victory clinched the Wabash Valley Six Man Football Championship for the Rox. It is interesting to note that Rockville has won this honor, five of the six years they have had football. Following is a list of the players who made up the varsity: Name Year Name Year Capt. Dick Collings 12 Dick Canter 12 Jim Hartman ll Richard Rozhon 12 Harold Haughee 12 Dick Lightle 12 Wilburn McManimie l2 David Lee 10 Bill Stover 12 Ralph Pinegar 12 Charles Havey 12 Bill Shores ll The reserve strength consisted of Name Year David Cassity 9 Amos Thomas 10 Norval Dixon 9 Delbert Smith was student manager and he was assisted by Gerry Fortner. Jerry Mclillin, the mascot, the two yell leaders, Paul Insley and Pat Weaver, gave the team moral support. Following is a brief summary of the scheduled games of the l9h5 season: ROX LA - Petersburg 16 The season was opened by an easy victory over Petersburg. The brilliant passing of Hartman to Stover was the outstanding feature of the game. T BOX 6 - Attica 18 Attica held the Rox scoreless the first 3 quarters on a very wet field, but in the final period Rozhon threw a pass to Shores who galloped over for the only Rox counter. ROX AO - Cayuga 14 The gridiron was very muddy but the expert calling of plays and the good work of Haughee was too much for the Indians. The home team pushed the visitors back by the use of shere power. Thus the Rox defeated the de- fending Valley Champs. 94629 Formation 1 -s df-wg, 4-.raw UWABASH VALLEY CHAMPIONSn RCX 58--HONTEZUMA 13 Hartman was the standout of this game, scoring 3 touchdowns. Of the other scores, the most spectacular was the flashy run by Havey on an end- around play. i ROX lA--Kentland 25 This game was undoubtedly the roughest of the season. It was high- lighted by the trick pass to McManimie who plunged over for l of the Rox's two touchdowns. RDX la--Attica 8 ,In one of the most exciting games ever seen on the Rockville gridiron the Rox avenged their earlier defeat and upset Stuteville's high strung boys. A long pass from Haughee to Collings which was caught in the end zone put the game on ice in the closing minutes of the game. ' Rox 26--Cayuga 21 Although the score of the game was close the outcome of the game was never in doubt. Coach McClellan's boys gave a neat exhibition of aggres- sive, fighting football and handed Cayuga a second defeat. ROX 66--Montezuma 7 A most successful season was completed when the Rox trampled the. Aztecs for the second time. This game was called after a few minutes were played in the second half. The highlight of this game was 3 successive touchdowns made by Collings on intercepted passes. The Rox won the Wabash Valley this year for the fifth time out of six years. The closest rival this year was Attica with a percentage of 800.The Rox's percentage was 833. Cayuga came next with a percentage of 333 and Montezuma ended the season with a percentage of OOO. The Rox lose the whole first team, with the exception of one man, be- cause of graduation. But with the material available for next fall, . the opening of the season should find the Rox just as much as a powerhouse as they were in the past season. - 0 - --A BflvSl4ETBAI,L--+-- The Rockville Rox basketball team had another successful season win- ning sixteen games and losing seven games. The team was handicapped at the start of the season by the loss of the services of several of the players for the first few games, due to the flu epidemic. Nevertheless, they ran up aiwinning streak of five games before they were defeated one point by Brdigeton. The Rox lost only one more game before the County Tournament and this was to Marshall. The Rox was one of the favorites to win the tournament but lost the first game to Marshall. This didn't discourage them too much as they held their own the rest of the season. The team beat Clinton the last game before the Sectional which boosted its morale quite a bit. In the Sectional Tournament the team was one of the favorites to win. They nearly succeeded but for a last quarter rally in the final game by Clinton. V Following the Sectional a class tournament was played. The seniors easily won by beating the sophomores in the first game and juniors in the sec ond game . Bill Stover was unanimously elected captain of this years team. This gave the senior class of Nhon two captains in basketball as Harold Haughee was captain of the WASH team. ' There are six men eligible for sweaters in basketball this year. Only four will get basketball sweaters, however, as two are taking a sweater in football. The first team also will receive little silver basketballs. The school bought the team new white suits at the start of the season. On April 5 a banquet was given in the gym in honor of the team. The other athletic teams were also invited. There was an enormous amount of foot and everyone ate until they could hold no more. Following is an account of the games played this year: Rox 31 Greene Township 18 4 In their initial game of the season the Rockville Rox played Greene Twp. The team was handicapped in this game by the loss of three players. Swaim, Thompson, and Hartman had the flu. The team got off to a poor start the first half. Getting the range in the second half, the Rox con- sistently hit the basket. Rox 38 Montezuma 23 Although the team still felt the effects of the flu, they proved too strong for Montezuma. Stover and Shores were high point men with fifteen and thirteen respectively. Rox 39 Bloomingdale 37 Bloomingdale, one of Rockville's county rivals came to Rockville with the idea of beating the Rox and it turned out to be a very close game. Bloomingdale had one of the toughest teams they had had in many years Stover was high point man with fifteen points. Rox 3b Russellville 3l One of the out-of-the county rivals, Russellville, didn't prove to be strong enough to defeat the high flying Rox. The Rockville five was ahead 19-1A at the half and won the game 3A-31. Rox b7 Rosedale 33 Riding on a four game winning streak, the Rox journeyed to Rosedale.After getting off to a slow start, the team overwhelmed the Hot Shots L7-33. Both Shores and Haughee shared scoring honors for the Rox. Rox 29 Bwidgeton 36 Feeling confident after the Rosedale victory, Rockville entertained Bridgeton. Although leading 20-lb at the half, the Rox were unable to stop a Bridgeton rally in the second half which narrowly won the game for them, 36-35. This game was hotly icontested until the sound of the final gun. For a while the audience didn't know who had won because a Rockville man had made a basket which did not count as the player who made it had stepped out of bonds. Shores was the point-getter for Rockville. Rox 33 Marshall 30 Marshall came to town hoping to defeat the Rox again but were badly disappointed. The game was very close and was hard fought all the way. Stover was high point man once again. Rox 6A I ,, .Bellmore l9 The rollicking Rox crushed the neighboring team of Bellmore by an over- whelming score. This was the most points the team rolled up this year. The team hit the basket at the very start of the game and continued to Prove themselves supreme. Shores was high point man with fifteen points, Rox 37 ' Bridgeton 2A Rockville crushed the Bridgeton five in the 2nd half of the game on Bridgeton's own hardwood. The game was all tied up at the half but the Rox, who wanted to avenge their only defeat thus far, poured 19 points through the net the 2nd half to Bridgeton's 6, Rox 58 Dana 30 Although Dana hadn't beaten the Rox in several years, they usually have a good team. This game, however, made the Dana boys look pretty poor as the Rox nearly doubled their score. Stover, Havey and Hartman led in the Rox's scoring gun with eleven, ten and nine points respectively. Rox 35 Montezuma 26 On the Rockville hardwood, Rox's Shores led a big scoring gun to bring victory in the face of their old rival, Montezuma. Rox 25 Marshall 28 The Marshall five avenged their earlier defeat at the hands of Rock- ville by beating them in a close, hard-fought game. Rockville led at the half l6-13 but were unable to stop Marshall in the second half. Haughee and Hartman were high point men with six points apiece. Rox 33 QCO. TourneyD Marshall Lb The Rox were one of the favorites to win the County Tournament and make it two in a row but the high hopes were due to a letdown. Instead of being victorious the team suffered its worse defeat of the season. The first half was fairly even with Marshall holding a 19-16 lead. But in the second half Marshall bombarded the basket by shots from every an- gle and the Rox were unable to stop them. Harry Swaim was high point man with twelve points. Rox 39 West Terre Haute 38 Our quintet journeyed all the way to Terre Haute to engage in a hard- wood battle with NDocW Franklin's team. NDocN used a zone defense against us the first three quarters which our team just couldn't penetrate and also it' seemed as the Rox didn't bring along any kind of defense. However, the spirit of Rockville kept going and in the last half of the game it showed that only the best team was finally going to come through and the Rox won a victory by one point. Rox 29 Cayuga 33 At Cayuga a hard fought ball game was to be seen all the way. Swaim and Stover led the scoring for the Rox with eleven and ten points respecti- vely and Thompson, our reserve center, excited his man in the closing se- conds of the game and his man dropped in a field goal for the Rox to tie the game up, but even after this they were just Wtoo toughu and beat the Rox by scoring two field goals in the first overtime to win the game. ' Rox L6 3 Dana L5 The Rox journeyed 'to Dana with the thought of repeating an easy victory. However, Reid, their hot center, tallied with ten field goals, two foul shots to keep their team in the winning. The last few minutes of the game though the Rox came through and won another one point victory. Rox 32 Tangier 38 One of the most unusual games and one the Rox least like to talk about is when the Rangier quintet over-ran the Rox on their hardwood. The Rox five played a brilliant ballgame the first half but were shattered the second half by a large scoring drive of the opponents which resulted in a victory for them. Rox 28 Clinton 25 The Rox mopped the Clinton Wildcats in a thrilling game which the Rox were ahead most of the way. Rockville, although lacking in points from the field, came through from the free throw line to take home the victory. Rox 3L Covington LL One of the worst disasters of the year happened when the Rox were de- feated by the Covington five on their own floor. These boys were good play- ers and outplayed the Rox all the way. S E C T I O N A L T O U R N E Y Rox 33 Bridgeton 32 The first team the Rox met in the Sectional was their old rivals, Bridgeton. This was a hard fought game all the way and Stover proved his might and skill that afternoon by not only being high point man but by sink- ing foul shots with only seconds to go in the regular game. He enabled the Rox not only to advance to the overtime but scored another field goal and foul shot in the overtime to win the game. Rox 50 Dana 35 The Rox's second game of the Sectional was with Dana, who they had beaten two times prviously. They literally ran over the Dana boys this time to take an easy victory. All of Rockville's five were hitting and top scor- ing honors for the night went to their fast little forward, Billy Shores,who racked up seventeen points. Rox 30 Tangier 27 Rockville met Tangier in the semifinals of the Sectional but provedto be too smart for them. Havey, Rox's reserve guard, played an excellent de- fensive game in the closing quarter. Swaim, Rox's guard, held scoring honors with five field goals and two foul shots. Rox 28 Clinton 35 Clinton's team proved to have too much steam and extra reserve strength and plowed right through the Rox in the final quarter of the last game of the Sectional. Rockville's five kept pace all the way up to the last four minutes, but the last three games had worn the Rox down somewhat and here is where Clinton forged ahead to the win the Sectional tourney. Clinton was beaten by Crawfordsville in their first game of the Regional. - 0 - T H El P E B B L E S For the first game of the year the seconds got off to a good start by scoring a victory over Greene Twp. 21-16. The second game of the year was a complete success in which they had to almost come from behind at the half to win 32-25. The colds and flu had hit Rockville by this time and some of the boys were unable to play. Two of the seniors were called on to play, Richard Rozhon and Ralph Pinegar. The third was another victory for the Pebbles. The game was close but the extra height which the Pebbles had took care of many a rebound and the outcome of the score was 31-25. Russellville would not bring a second team for some reason. So we challenged Marshall in the curtain raiser. But all good things must come to an end. The first defeat of the year was by a score of 2L-23. It was prob- ably the best game of the year in some ways. The score was close all the way through until the closing minutes when the Pebbles began to tire. The Pebbles took the defeat with their heads set out to beat them when they cmne back in two weeks. Rosedale gave our Pebbles their second licking of the week to a more experienced team. Rockville was unable to hit from the field as well as from the free throw line. . Bridgeton cane to Rockville with a group of boys who were out-classed in height as well as in speed. Marshall came to town again but this time the same results, a defeat for our Pebbles, in which the score was Rockville 20, Marshall 22. Rockville lead until the closing minute of the game but our boys said again that they would beat them when they went to Marshall. Union Twp. was one of the games where the whole squad could take part. In the return engagement with Bridgeton's second team, the Pebbles coasted to an easy victory. Leading the entire fray, the Pebbles entirely outclassed the Raccoon netters. West Terre Haute was our next engagement which produced many thrills and was a little rough in places. Neither team was ever ahead more than three points. Cayuga was one of the games that didn't take much effort although they gave stubborn resistance throughout the first half. Tangier was the best game of the year for it was the first defeat of the year for them. The Pebbles had something that is needed in basketball, the will to win. Dana fell to the supreme strength of the Pebbles which were never in danger throughout the contest. Clinton is where our Pebbles They were the first team who had had Covington was a rather onesided suffered their last defeat of the year a taller boy than we had. affair.

Last year's record was 5 victories and 2 defeats, the latter being by Garfield of Terre Haute. Since we lost only Bob Fisher and Carl Fortner in the graduating class we will be able to field an experienced team this year. We have back this year the veterans: Harold Haughee Jim Hartman Bill Stover Donald Pratt Wilburn McHanimie David Lee Wilbur Overpeck Rex Monts Richard Rozhon Wayne Lear Dick Lightle Bill Shores, who was ineligible last year, will probably be one of this year's regulars. Newc mers to this year's squad are: Miller Shores Fortner Sparks Cassidy Hall With our good pitching staff, snappy infield and dependable outfield we have every evidence of a very successful season. Our schedule stands as follows: April 5 April l2 April 23 April 30 Hey 3 May 9 May l3 May 20 Tangier Tangier Valley High Gershneyer Tech Valley High Garfield Tech Garfield - 0 - Here There There There Here Here Here There fLostQ CLostJ Cwbnl This is the first year for Track in Rockville for a good I1 many years. However the team did very well for themselves by winning the Parke County Track Meet. This mean something to the school for this was the first Parke County Meet to be held. Jim Hartman was the high scorer of the Meet, by plac- ing first in three events and typing for first in one other event. Harry Swaim was unanimously elected captain for the track team. Some of the boys who did well enough in the Co. Track Meet are going to participate in the Wabash Valley. ..-, , --4s--- ....f-7.
