SCHOOL The citizens are justly proud of the fine school building erected and thoroughly furnished at a cost of over $36,000; and are in full sympathy with every effort to make our Public Schools second to none in the state. The above statement appeared in the Rockville Public School Catalogue for the 1875-76 school year, the year in which Rockville High School held its first graduation exercises. Ella F. Coffin, Jessie B. Mulhallen, ahd Louis H. Whipple were the members of the first graduating class. In 1875 Rockville had one of the few high schools that had been organized in this part of the state and for that reason several of the students came from a distance and secured room and board in the community during the school term. The course of study consisted of two years' work in literature, mathematics, history, rhetoric, Latin,physiology, and geography. In 1886 a third year was added and drawing and physical exercises were introduced. The course was extended to the present day length when four years were required for graduation in 1896. In the early years of the twentieth century Indiana passed a compulsory school attendance law. This law resulted in an increased enrollment in high school and in the modification of the curriculum so as to care for the needs of students who did not wish to take a college preparatory course. The increase in enrollment necessitated the construction of a new high school. This class of 1909 was the first to graduate in the present high school building. e- Memories - -e ROCKVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Courses in domestic science and manual training were introduced soon after the new building was completed. After the first World War more emphasis was placed on physical education and health, and commercial subjects and instrumental music were stressed more in the curriculum. In 19h0 the three story building which had been used only as a grade school since 1909 was torn down and a modern one story grade school took its place. During the past two years two more classrooms, a gymnasium, and a lunch room have been added to the grade school. The high school curriculum has developed from the single college preparatory course to the point where students now have a choice of five subject fields; college preparatory, home economics, business education, agriculture, or industrial arts. Both the grade and high schools now have been granted first class commissions by the department of public instruction. Many changes have been made in the educational program in Rockville during the past 75 years just as man? changes have been evident in almost every other field during that period of time. However, the statement of 1875 that the citizens of Rockville are proud of their schools and are in full sympathy with every effort to make our Public Schools second to none in the State is just as true today as it was at that time. The Rockville Youth Center was established in 19h5 through the welfare Office by Mrs. Mildred Hardesty and Miss Alice Brown, who called a meeting of representatives from various clubs and organiza- tions in Rockville and presented the idea of a youth center to them. From these representatives, smaller committees were appointed to get funds and supplies and to find a building to be used for the center. Each class from the seventh through the senior class elect two youth center council members-one boy and one girl. The council plans monthly'dances and other social events which are held in the center. Those who are members of the council this year are Maurice Fisher, Ann Hardesty, Max Swaim, Nancy Clary, Richard Gordon, Doris Cooper, Shir- ley Holler, and John Overpeck. During the past year a new plan has been adopted, whereby TUes- days and Saturday afternoons are for junior high students alone; Wed- nesday, Friday, and Saturday nights are for high school students, and Mondays are reserved for dancing lessons, which are sponsored by the Tri Kappa. The Youth Center is very fully equipped with recreational facil- ities, including a pool table, ping-pong tables, a piano, card tables, a phonograph and popular records, a dance floor, and many other games and fonm: of entertainment. There are also booths bordering one wall. Mrs. Hubert McClain has acted as hostess for the Youth Center for the past two years and has done a fine job in meeting with the council and helping to plan parties, dances, and other activities for the Youth Center.

Until l9h8 there were only three on the School Board, but that year Rockville schools consolidated and the membership was increased to seven. Besides those listed above, Austin Noblitt, Burton Lee, and Harold Gerrish are members of the board. In order to help finance the completion of the new gymnasium, the board had concessions at the county and sectional tournies. These two projects netted over 81000. After the first of December, Herihn Hicks was replaced by David martin, the-new township trustee. WWI, ,,., ?;!41. . :E. ., 7 m .

The students moved to the new grade building immediately after Christmas of their second year. The yeers passed rapidly and before long the little cherube reached the eighth grade. That year they elected class officers and selected their class 'fiowers, colors, and motto. They journeyed to Terre Haute and Indianapolis, too. To finance these trips, the group staged paper drives and a resale. In l9h7 thirty eight freshmen entered high school. This class of '51, with Carl Seybold as president and Mr. Sam McClellan, the sponsor, had a successful year. Several members participated in the algebra, Latin, and music contests. In their sophomore year Mr. Dale Williams was their sponsor. Again some took part in the various contests and many joined the Y-Teene and Hi-Y Clubs. The project for that year was a concession stand and skit at the Halloween Festival. The preceeding years had passed swiftly but none went so quickly as the junior year. The class was very industrious making money for the big event of the yeer--the Junior-Senior Prom, which was held for the first time in the gymnasium. Here much time was spent making a beautiful ballroom. Six members of the class were taken into the National Honor Society and a few entered the English and music contests. Mr. WEndell Adams was the capable sponsor that year. Finally the big year has arrived and the seniors have been busy ordering name cards, invitations,.pictures, and caps and gowns. The class roll numbers only thirty-four now. or this group over half have been continuously on the road of education here in Rockville. Those students are: Leon Bowman, Marilyn Braner, Joan Britten, Carleton Butler, Helen Forcner, Jessie Fultz, and Barbara Hamilton, Anne Hardesty, Ray Barney, Lois Hartman, Bob Jessup, Nance Lee, Beverly Lewis, Pat Navel, Bill Pinegar, Pat Riddle, and Ramona Smiley. Commencement is almost at hand and, although they regret leaving R.H.S., the members of the class of '51 are now ready to go out into the world as useful citizens, the years of school becoming fond memories. -14- SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Carl Seybold, V-president Raw Harnev, President 7 Barley, Secretarv Leon Bowman, Treasurer SENIORS Ralph Atkinson-He knows lots but cannot think of it.

Those present were L.B. and P.E., who are world champion ice skaters, J.MC., the famous skier, and J.N., the inventor of shoes for those who can't stand up. One day while dear ?.E. and L.B. were showing me how to skate on my fro- zen swimming pool, I fell, and, as a natural result, suddenly found myself re- viewing all the planets and worlds of the universe. As I caught glimpses of these various galaxies, I thought, bless my soul; that I saw the members of the never to be forgotten class of '51. The first ones I saw were the noted, or rather notorious, Dirty Four . In case you have been a hermit or deaf for years, these characters were Jessie Fultz, Barbara Hamilton, Rose Martin, and Patricia Navel. Jet , The Rock Fultz, the only unmarried member of the quartet, is known for her hard-heart- ed-ness: Babs Hamilton is a huge success in her latest picture, The Wife of Tarzan, and will soon be privileged to put her footprint in front of the Gro- man's Chinese Theater beside those of other famous celebrities. Rosie Martin is recognized by the world as its greatest slapstick comedy actress; and Pat Navel has married Dale-Berry and reared a mild dozen children, who are, at the present, farming to sunport the town of Rockville. Then I recognized the International Department of Physics Research in Washington, D.C. In front of this building were the two superintendents of the research department--our old pals and great jokers, yet brilliant physio- ists--Car1eton Butler and Leon Bowman. -22- M'eITIKL ..b w , , was Carl Seybold, who is Presidents of the United Nations. His legic-Ehe clear-thinking have enabled him to hold this difficult job. His personal s.E;:tary is Phyllis Zurcher. A confidential report shows her salary to be 89,5Qt,90 per year. tCarl demands the o r ten cents for rent. Like all good We'retaries, she sits on his lap.l Also in the Eagg I was astonished to see Malcolm Clodfelter exploring in the old Egyptian tombs. I don't quite know why I was so startled, for he always was interested in relics. ,, Nance Lee has become a famous Parisan model and is setting the vogue in all the countries. Bev. Lewis has taken up ballet and was starring in the world's most unknown ballet, Green Boots , with her Russian husband, Basil Goddenisky. Betty Holmes was known for her daring and unusual bntics. Tiring of all the world's monotony, she is now living a simple life i$ the North Woods. Bob Jessup, who complained about running a bus liq? to the lunch room, is now a hot rod driver. Says he, I had to find some place where I could drive that was not so crowded. tWe sympathize.l I'm practieally positive that his name and face will appear on the winner's cup for the Five Hundred Mile Class-' ic this year. Why? Because his wife, Edna White, said 50. She said, and I quote, I prefer raee drivers to any other brand test . Kay McKnight,. who was quite a prominent figure tin her school days, has resigned herselflwith no reluctance to life on the farm, and has become the worldVS fastest milker of cows. tThe farm is in the vicinity of Bloomingdale. it is rumored.l Ned Baker and Paul Cottrell, I saw, are huge successes in photography for Esquire magazine. They designed those nice calendar: we all enjoy. Marilyn Braner is queen of the South this week. She was crowned Miss Hadacol of 1980 at the annual Magnolia Parade in New Orleans. Joan Britten now broadcasts daily on How to Rule Your Home , a program strickly for women. Jerry Canter,i also a prominent member of the 51ers , is the international poker champion, while his friend, Maurice Fisher, is the top clown for the Ringling Brothers' Circus. r i ; 3 Sharon Center, who had a great struggle decidi p on her male acquaint- ances-husbands, that is-decided to give the world e behefit of all her ex- perience in love matters and has written, The Canterl eEort. ' Q . Bill Seward has become a areat railroad magnate. It is said that his bu51ness ties are very strong. Memories It did not amaze me to find Pat Riddle and Ral kEAtkinson married and running a children's home, for I had often remarked to ?Eelf that they were a perfect couple and 32 kind. Ann Hardesty, who, incidently, married the famous stunt flyer, Bob Ross, is very happy now as they have raised a squadron of little pilots to be--all boys. Why there's Donna Hiatt Welch standinq beside her scholary husband Jerry. Says Mrs. welch, Having started in 1951, my husband has, as of this year tl980h, been declared graduated with honors from Wabash College. I'm inmensely proud. i Madeline Kent and Lois Hartman, who were school buddies, have combined their erest minds to become the authors of the best fiction novels. Their pen names are Moe and Shmoe. Mary Earley, who sought a career in grand opera, sang the role of Carmen for five years at the Met.: but she has now returned to her Alma Mater, good old R.H.S., to follow in the footsteps of Miss Brown. Little is known of Ramona Smiley Byers except that she is very happily married. Miss Smiley, in school, was the silent type. Helen Partner has contributed so much in the field of science, mathemat- ics, literature, and politics that her name is never to be forgotten; but her greatest work was in discovering a new method of transmitting knowledge into the heads of slow students, by means of an invention used only in secret by Miss Partner. The President has offered her a large sum for a similar machine to use in the White House. Ray Harney, president of his class in '51, has become quite reknown in his work for Getro Moldyn Mayor as a make-up artist and hair stylist. Last but not least we find Bill Pinegar, who has devoted his life to pub- lic reform. Recently he has just won his one hundred and fiftieth victory from the poor public. This time he fought against using rat traps. Suddenly the mist began clearing and I was back again at my mountain home. I seemed dazed and in a dream. Had I really gone forward into time or had it all been a dreAm? It was impossible, No! It couldn't be! And yet---- well, maybe-----I guess I'll never know. -24- e .- M emorie$ g JUNIOR CLASS PresidentnicoooooooooooooooJohn Tofaute Vice-president. . . . . . . . . .Sue Mendenhall Secretary. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Pat Coverdale Treasurer. o o o a o I o o n o o o o oJerry MCMillin The big year, their year to sponsor the prom, had finally arrived. And the juniors have certainly been busy making money to finance this big event. Besides being business advocates, they entered the various organizations of the school. Eleven members were taken into the National Honor Society twelve were in the band, and quite a number participated in chorus, Y-Teens, -,E', d F.F.A. Many took part in the solo and ensemble contests and in the 12.: Q comprehensive Mathematics examinatiohs. Nancy Clary and Max Swaim were elected 0 represent the class on the Yopth Center Council.

Memories --e Memories e- --g JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM.1950 One would never have recognized the beautiful ballroom in which the prom was held last May as the new gymnasium if he hadn't known it before. The playing floor had been separated from the bleachers by thousands of multi-colored crepe paper strips. At the west end of the gym was a wishing well in which many coins were thrown by the dancers with the hopes of having their wishes fulfilled. Among the other decorations were punch tables, at which Marilyn Neet and Jeannie Gallatin served, and two beautiful archwavs. A white background with the numerals 1950 em- bedded in blue were behind Bill Riedel's Orchestra at the east end of the ballroom. The dancing floor was set apart from the rest of the room by a white picket fence of which many flowers were entwined. The big moment of the prom, the crowning of the queen, finally arrived. Jessie ?ultz was crowned Queen of the 1950 Prom bv Carleton Butler, junior class vice-presidentr Her attendants were Donna Patricia Hiatt and Lois Jean Hartman. After her coronation the queen and her escort led the Grand Marcha Before the dance a fine banquet served by the Eastern Star was held at the Masowic Hall. The theme of the dinner, Hitch Vovr Wagon to a Star , was illustrated by suitable decorations and favors. Dick Habine acted as Master of Ceremonies and Joan Britton, president of the junior class, gave the wel- coming speech. The response was given by Fred Eldridge, president of the senior class. Later Jerry Welch read the 1950 Class Will, and Leon Bowman gave the propher. There is no question as to the success of the prom. Although much time and effort went into the preparation for this big event, the juniors considered it time well spent. Again they wish to express their appreciation to Mr. Adams, Mr. Holmes, and the numerous ee make the 1950 prom the -26- ' e...

Four members of the class participated in the solo and ensemble contests. Several took the Latin and algebra examinations and Jimmy Buchanan entered the Oratorical Con- test, in which he won third place. At the Football Homecoming their float won first prize and again they captured first premium with a skit at the Halloween Festival. They also made some money by having a concession stand at the festival. In athletics, too, the class predominated. Three members were on the football squad and two were on the varsity basketball team. Five played on the B team. The freshman team was very successful this season, winning the majority of its games. The yell leaders for this team were Alberta Busenbark, Mitzie Shelato, and Glenda Gilderland.

Although the Rox have had only a fair team this year, it is felt that these coaches have done very much for the boys. Above all, they have taueht them sportsmanship and how to lose with a smile. The Hox teams have had two sets of student managers this year. Dick Spaw and Bill Hobson acted as football managers, and Melvin Green and-Jerry Neidlinger were managers for the basketball teams. These boys have done a fine job. Keep up the good work next year, fellas.

The celebration started on Thursday evening with a bon-fire, pep rally, and snake dance. On Fridaythight the caravan of floats,t lead by the H.H.S. Band, paraded through town to the football field where the floats were judged on originality and deeorations. The freshman class was given first prize while the seniors carried away second place honors qua the seventh grade took third prize. Others entering floats were the eighth grade, sophomores, juhiors, Boy Scouts, and various alumni. ' At half time the queen, Kay McKnight, waq crowhed by the co-captains, Jerry Canter and Jerry :9. ' . - McMillln. She and her attendants, Beverly Lewis and Donna Hiatt, were Ealuted by the band forming e b . . axlarge heart and playing Good-h i '.n ght Sweetheart . X .The evening came to an end with the Homecoming Danee 'at which Carl, McMillin;s Orchestra plaved. $w. Memories t R.H.S. were led by three sen or , ewis, Sharon Canter, and Rose Maftin. Since Beverly has completed four years as a cheer leader she was awarded an honor sweater. Sharon and Rose received silver basketball: for two years service Their uniforms at the beginning of the year consisted of white turtle neck sweaters, pleated skirts and hats. They varied their costumes with blue cord skirts and white honor sweaters. For the tournies, they combined blue v-neck sweaters and white pleated skirts for very attractive outfits. These girls deserve much praise from the fans for their dependability and enthusiasm in backing the Box at games and pep sessions and upholding Rockville's high cheering standards.
