The idea was gotten from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad whose main line passes through Rockwood Borough. The name originally was given as a nickname to the basketball squad. For this reason it was adopted by the student body as the name for their annual publication. EUNHNTS EXECUTIVE PERSONNEL RESEARCH PU BLICITY TRAFFIC WILLIAM S. BARBER MUN To the Late William S. Barber In recognition of his friendship and service to the students of Rockwood High School, we, the Class of 1947, take this op- portunity to dedicate to the late William S. Barber, member of the Board of Education, the 1947 MAINLINER. His pleasing personality, quiet humor, and unusual ability earned him the respect and cooperation of all those who knew him. Mr. Barber was a true friend to the student body. E X E E T I V E ADMINISTRATION EDsoN B. Powsu. Supervising Principal To the Members of the Class of 1947: It is with reluctance that I view your departure from Rockwood High School.

Twenty One K R H E 5 E A H E H SHOP AND COMMERCIAL Tedrow Colegrove Engleka Crisaii Clevenger Kreger Twenty Two The shop is located in the base- ment of the school annex amid the buzzing saws, the grinding drills, and the smoking forge. The students are learning to be expert builders and handy menders of broken equip- ment. They have already learned to construct useful articles which can be used to aid them in their agri- cultural projects. And they are given practice in learning to be menders by repairing school furnishings. The commercial room is character- ized by the clatter ot the typewrit- ers and the swishing of the mimeo- graph machine. Constant activity reigns from morning till night. Be- sides the regular class work, a group of seniors assisted the teach- ers by typing tests, cutting stencils, and making art designs. Efficiency was increased by the arrival of eleven new Underwood typewriters, and ten typing tables. f H E 5 E H lu.: H COOKING AND CHEMISTRY The cooking lab is easily recognized by the savory odors that permeates its area. The department has been beautified by the in- stallation oi fluorescent lights, plastic curtains, and colorful table covers. Two electric stoves and a nine cubic toot electric refrigera- tor were installed this term. The chem lab is a favor- ite room for luture chemists. It gives the student exper- ience in individual research by laboratory work, projects, reports, and demonstrations. By the odors that prevail in the halls, their favorite ex- periment is making HZS.

They are an active group of singers under the lead- ership of Frank I. Illar. They sang for P. T. A. and assembly programs, gave a Christmas Concert, participated in the baccalaureate service, and were represented at the All-County Festival at Somerset, Pennsylvania. With the loud, sharp clash of the cymbals and the hard solid beat of the bass drum the Rockwood High School Band marches by. The conductor, Frank I. lllar, has helped them achieve recognition as one of the outstand- ing bands ot the county. This group ot entertainers played in the high school auditorium for assemblies and the Senior Class Play. They attended the All-County Festival at Berlin, Pennsylvania in which other bands of the county participated. They received first prize as the best high school band. and third prize as one of the best competitive bands at a contest held at Meyersdale, Pennsylvania.

TH FFIII CLUBS The Future Homemakers ol America Club was one of the active organ- izations in the high school. The girls made lapel pins, toys, candy, cookies, and Christmas baskets tor the needy. Many social gatherings were held in the Home Economics living room. The most interesting event was a party held tor the F. F. A. boys. Three girls represented the group at the State Fair in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania where twenty awards were won by the members ol the club. ' The Future Farmers of America Club consists of twenty boys who are busy with individual projects. Some have pure-bred livestock, others raise potatoes, corn, or poultry. The club officers represented the degree team in the County F. F. A. initiation and were active the entire year in all the county F. F. A. activities. Ten boys attended the County Farm Show at Meyersdale where they were awarded prizes amounting to twenty-eight dollars for judging livestock, and eight boys represented the club at the Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg. Bi-monthly meetings are for discussion and relaxation wherein ping- pong. basketball and badminton are played. The Library Club consisting of seven members was organized by Miss Mulhollen, librarian, for the purpose of repairing books, classifying them, and keeping the library in good order. For recreation, they held a skating party, had a Christmas party and visited the library in Somerset. Thirty Five T H F F I E SENIOR CLASS PLAY Shultz, Swarner, Tedrow, Thomas, Gardner, Barclay, I. Miller, Lephart, Engleka, Hay, SEAKIITE The cast of Sneak Date had many jolly times at rehearsals. Every eve- ning there was a mad rush to be on time, arriving with a play book in one hand, potato chips, peanuts or popcorn in the other and the current ex- cuse, I just didn't have time, I'1l learn my lines tomorrow for sure. Some- how the cast and Miss Burnworth, the coach, were able to survive those two unforgetable weeks of practice, and the big night arrived. Some of the faux pas were: Dale Colegrove said, My what a lot of . magazine reading is going on, but the stage manager had forgotten the magazines, Ruth Thomas always mixed her line- This boy's future hangs in the balance, and Bill Tedrow gave the wrong cue in the second act, thus cutting the play by a page and one-half. ' It was a whooping success, so the Senior class celebrated by holding a party at Green Gables. Thirty Six T H F P I E SENIOR CLASS PLAY Not cows, acres l Shultz, Barclay, Gardner, Miller Colegrove, Miller, Tedrow, Eng- leka, Barclay, Gardner, Hay Thirty Seven Attenshun! T H A F F I E SENIORS, JUNIOR CLASS PLAY ME AND MY SHADOW Me and My Shadow, a three-act mystery comedy was the main high- light of the Class of 1947's successful Iunior year. The memories of those rehearsals, and especially the big night which was cold and snowy will never be forgotten. It was the first Iunior class play presented, and due to the success of the production, it has established a precedent. One of the cast, Ronald Moore, has traded school life for Army lite.
