Those children were: -- SENIQR CLASS HlSTQRY-- In Sept. 193A there gathered together for the first time in the first grade of Rockville Grade School forty-eight little boys and girls. 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
