G. H. S. In doing so, we present to you this book, as a reminder of the good times we have had together. Not until it is time to leave, do we think seriously of the privileges we have had of attending this beautiful building with all its facilities for higher learning and better moral training. Our gym will long be remembered for it was here that our school felt our cheers, applause and laughter. It was here that the basketball games, plays, and assemblies, which highlighted the past four years, were held. During the past four years we have spent many hours at school long after classes were out. We rehearsed plays, built scenery, decorated for dances, published the school paper and drilled the various teams. Other schools have envied us the results, but to us it meant long hours of both work and fun that we won,t soon forget. Nor will we forget the teachers who gave us the knowledge that will help to guide us through life. How patient they were to tolerate the foolish things that we were forever confronting them with. We wonder how much any Senior class appre- ciates the interest their teachers have taken in them? Perhaps the least forgotten will be the memories of the time we spent with our classmates, both in school and during our outside activities. In bringing you this book we have tried to present these friends as you would want to remember them. Our sole purpose in presenting this book is to recall the memories in years to come-memories which filled our lives with fun. We are extremely grateful to those who have in any way helped in making this book of school memories possible. Our sincerest desire is for your enjoyment of the Hilltopper.

They have provided us with the best teachers, textbooks, and other supplies available and have given every kind of assistance to all activities in the school. The members are: George Lindsey, President, Arden Allen, Earl Dodds, Harley Bell, Roy Sanford, Grant Mitchell and Arthur Young. Marvin Seyler is secretary to the board. We extend our heartiest thanlcs to these men and hope they will continue their splendid work for the school. 6 B. S., M. E. D., O. Charles E. Wertman D. To Mr. Wertman, our supervising principal, the class of 1947 offer the four stars of a full admiral. It has been his kindness and help as well as his thoughtfulness which have meant much to us in all our school life. In all cases we have found him to be a true friend and leader. It is with this in mind that we award him full admiral rights to this year's l-lilltopper. To Mr. Carter, our principal, the class of 1947 awards the three stars of vice admiral. With a great deal of patience and fine sense of humor he has smoothed the way for us many times. In all our activities we have felt that in him we had an enthusiastic supporter and spectator as well. We appreciate all the help this gentleman with the two inches of gold on his sleeve has been to all of us. 7 R. Glenn Carter B. A., M.

Letis rake a look and see. The first person we see is Anna Yurkanin and she,s doing it. What? Why stand- ing on top of a certain hill singing Buttermilk Sky ! Who was that who just rode by in the car? That was Earl Yarnell on his way to the Fire Hall. Hadn't you better hurry, Earl? Betty Williams is, of course, Mrs. Slug Proctor and is busy taking care of all the little Proctors. Bob Parker is still working in RGHS picking the locks in Room 205. He just can't get in that cupboard.

Dottie Vidsens is a dress designer in New York City with Clara Mae Shiner as her assistant. Peg Grove has just replaced Portland on the Fred Allen radio program. jean Hawthorne is a jeweler now. Her speciality is solitairs. Shirley Snyder has just discovered a new planet and has named it The Big Tenny Bear.

Johnny Buck and Del Osborne are the Frank Sinatra and Van johnson respectively of this decade.

Paul Horrobin has beat Tommy Man- ville's record. He just married his ninth wife. The serious question at the moment is, where is he getting the money to pay alimony to the other eight? Ronald Smith is pitching for the Pittsburgh Pirates this season and Mike Spezially is strong man for the Barnum and Bailey Circus. Bea Thurau is putting on that ring and then taking it off again. It doesn't appear that she will ever make up her mind. Martha Baltzell and Marilyn Smith are Conover models. Jackie Biles is still writing Bill all over everything and she still hasn,t made up her mincl which Bill she means. Margie and Ralph are still going together and Dot Haun is getting desperate.

Betty Shawgo is noted for being the only girl in this section of the country who doesn't talk all the time. Bill Jolley has just finished his thesis entitled The First Three Decades Are the Best! The big attraction of the sporting season is when Norma Karns, basket- ball team meets Mary Lou McCartney's team on the RGHS floor. Andy Kistler isn't shoveling coal now, but if he isn,t good, he may have to later on. Barbara Voith is still trying to decide whether she should go to college or not. Marguerite Williams has just been elected woman congressman for Pennsylvania. And last but not least Audrey Jordan and Clyde Freeman haven't grown an inch. 27 Glass History When the time comes in each Senior's life to leave school--each one of us looks back to remember different things with different, yet mingled emotions. We remember when we became Freshmen. To some of us it meant long awaited fun- while to others it was rather a state to be a little cautious of. While we greeted it with joyful anticipation, we also had many worries about that awful Freshmen initiation. We had Miss Hanby, Mrs. Kahle and Mr. Douglas to help us through our first year with its Magazine Sale and the Jr. High Basketball team. The Freshmen didn't do too well in either one but we all had a lot of fun taking part in them. Then we were Sophomores. Then we did our share of hazing the Freshmen and thought we were pretty good. Our home-room teachers that year, who probably had a little different opinion of us, were Miss Weyand and Mr. Gibb. This was the year the Varsity Team won the Bi-County League Championship. We were all pretty proud. We also defeated Franklin, our most bitter rival, that year and as a result we walked in the clouds for days to come. When we became Juniors, we thought we were something. We elected our officersg Ronald Smith, Presidentg Bob Parker, Vice-presidentg and Barbara Voith, Secretary. Our home-room teachers were Miss Meeker, also Junior Class Adviser, and Mr. Ashbaugh. Our play, Lady Spitfiref' was presented in March and the public received it very well. The high-light of this year was, of course, the Prom and Banquet with which we entertained the Seniors who graduated. Music in the 28 Air was the theme of the Prom, and it featured Howdy Baum's Orchestra and a floor show. Finally, came the time when we could first call ourselves Seniors. Then we felt we really had achieved something. Our officers were President, Bob Parker, Vice- president, Harry Reed, and Secretary, Barbara Voithg who were assisted by three committees, ring, invitation, and finance, in taking care of the business of the Senior Class. Without the help and guidance of Mrs. Jordan, our adviser, and Miss Heckard, who were our home-room teachers, our year would not have been com- plete. L Our play, Kitty Foyle was presented Thursday and Friday, November 7th and 8th, followed by a party on Friday at West Inn Tea Room. At the time of this writing, we are just beginning the many activities which will continue until Commencement.

Comprised of 45 tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade girls, it is under the capable instruction of Miss Doris Engstrom. The Chorus practices twice a week -Tuesday and Friday. During the year, the Music Department had charge of several as- semblies in which the Chorus had a major part. This gave the girls an opportunity to sing before an audience and to gain self-confidence. It also provided entertainment for the stu- dents. The climax of their year's activities was the Spring Festival. BOYS' CHORUS For the second year of activity this club has really flourished. Mr. Raup, our very cap- able instructor, has worked hard to bring the club up to its present standing. The chorus has made several appearances and has been well repaid for its untiring efforts. Miss Eng- strom started this club last year and did much toward bringing out the Ntalentn of the group. BOYSWQUARTET Listenl Did 1 hear someone say I needed Sympathy ? Ch, you say it's just the sextet practicing. Well, let's listen some more. Now they're in The Luxembourg Gardens in the Deep Purple of evening serving Tea for Two, The sextet has added much enjoyment to many assemblies and other activities during this school year. This organization is com- posed of Lois Campbell, Nlartha Keas. sopranosg Wfanda Mackell, lnez Hughes, sec- ond sopranosg Eleanore Huston and joan Rice, altosg under the supervision of Miss Doris Engstrom. SEXTET The Boys' Quartet is a newly founded or- ganization Linder the capable direction of Mr. Raup, This group furnished many enjoyable songs for assembly groups in school and also functions outside of school. The songs were both of the classical and light popular type. Making up this group werefFirst Tenor, Roh- ert Karnsg Second Tenor, john Buclcg First Bass, Bill Remboldg Second Bass, Bob Nlong. The boys enjoyed singing and were fortunate in having Barbara Baltzell as pianist. --1 Ill I JR. HIGH GIRLS, CHORUS Under the supervision of Miss Engstrom, this group has advanced to a prom- inent position in the school. They meet every Thursday and if you happen to be wandering around the halls about 11:30 you'll hear lovely tones coming from the music room. This chorus is composed of 40 girls and they have elected Donna Kline, Presidentg Garnet Heffernan, Vice-presidentg Mary Lou Ross and Gerry English as Librarians. They have participated in many assemblies and the Spring Festival. 40 ORCHESTRA The purpose of the orchestra is to promote better music in the teen-age group. Providing an outlet for those with natural ability to play instruments-it also en- ables the ungifted students to hear music played by his fellow students. It is this group which have provided the music for all assemblies and other outside activities. Under the very capable direction of Mr. Lee K. Raup the orchestra has grown and developed into one of the finest organizations in Rocky Grove High School. 41 PEP BAND The Pep Band has just recently been or- ganized and really does all its name implies. Its purpose is to play at all athletic events and other affairs in the community when requested. It is under the direction of Mr. Raup, the music supervisor. SWING BAND The Swing Band gives those students hav- ing the desire to play in a dance band that chance. It has played for the dances sponsored by the different organizations of the school. One of its most noted engagements was at the dances after the basketball games. Everyone enjoyed this group very much, especially dur- ing lunch hour when they would be practicing. CAMERA CLUB Formed only in 1946 the Camera Club has made much progress. It now has a bulletin board, in the Library, of pictures taken and developed by club members. In addition to the old charter members, thirteen new members were taken in this year. Officers for the club are: Robert Karns as Presidentg William Ross as Vice-Presidentg Edwina Robson as Secre- taryg and Harry Shuffstall as Treasurer. Mr. Eugene Reiter is the new club adviser this year. The Camera Club furnished pictures for the feature pages in this year's Hilltopper. THE ART CLUB The Art Club-one of the newly founded groups this year has done much to arouse in- terest in art both in painting itself and in help- ing other organizations out. This group has supplied the posters which have advertised our activities this year as well as many of the favors for our parties. The officers are: President . .. .. . Dorothy Vidsens Secretary . , Anna Yurlcanin Advisor . .. . . ., Helen Hansen Although a new group, it has made itself well felt here at R. G. H. S. not only as a group but as individuals, for it was one of the group,s Senior members who did the art work for the Hilltopper, X 'Qty HI-Y To create, maintain, and extend through- out the school and community high standards of Christian Character, is the purpose of this club, the efforts are untiring for both the ad- visor, Mr. Hogue, and the members. The club has undergone many activities this year, some of which are ushering at basketball games and caring for the flowers around the Honor Roll. One of the most widely discussed happen- ings of the year was the Hi-Y Camping trip, taken during the Christmas Vacation, at the Kiwanis club country cabin. All in all this club has had a very success ful year. QEZHI LIBRARY CLUB Under the guiding hand of Miss Schaffer the Library Club started its first year. The purpose of this club is to work at the desk, shelve books, dust shelves, mend books, file book cards and to catalogue new books coming into the library. During the course of the year the follow- ing officers were elected: President Ruth Schiffer Vice president Norma Redfield Secretary lVlaurccn Wygaimt fim- Bam TI-IE Y-TEENS The Y-Teens is an organization to pro- mote Christian ideals among its members. We also conduct social affairs throughout the year. The most numerous are the dances after the basketball games. This last year we had a formal Christmas Dance at which a queen was crowned.

Velma Rial Treasurer Eleanor Hagerty Song Leader Wanda Mackell pianist Eleanore I-luston -1-.sunny FIRE PATROL The Fire Patrol is completing its seventh year of activity. Under the very capable direc- tion of Mr. Carter, the Fire Patrol has enjoyed one of its most successful years. District offi- cials have commended the Rocky Grove School on its timely evacuation of the building, helped by the able assistance of the Fire Patrol. The Fire Patrol also inspected other schools in the district and held successful fire drills. The officers are: Chief , Dick Larsen Captains Ray Heiiderson, Andrew Kist- ler, Paul Horrobin. lst Lt. .

Miss I-leckard and Mrs. Burns assisted Mr. Carter in scheduling these as- semblies. Donna Mitchell, as student assembly manager, also assisted in this work and took care of rhe business records. Willard Kingsley, as stage manager had charge of arranging the stage and talcing care of all the little details that made our assemblies so enjoyable. The assemblies of the year included - musical assemblies conducted by Miss Engstrom and Mr. Raup. A three-act comedy presented by the Community Players, a hypnotist who really put some of the students uunderf, and instructive talk in airplane construction and various other subjects. ASSEMBLY CREW These boys, together with Mr. Confer, were responsible for setting up the chairs for all assemblies. The boys and Mr. Confer deserve a great deal of praise and thanks for their help and co-operation with all activities of the school. As a great many of our activities are conducted in the gym it will always hold a great many memories and high among these will be Mr. Confer and the boys, always will- ing to help anyone that needed it. ROCK TALK The Rock Tallc, one of the oldest activities of the school, has ended another flourishing year. Formed in 1931 it has advanced from a mimeographed sheet to the magazine-like form it is today. Officers for this year were: Editor-in-chief , , Edwina Robson Business Manager , A . .. Bob Karns Advertising Manager . . ., , , . Eleanor Hagerty Circulation Manager ,. .... . .. ., . Alice Bergman Supervision of the publications was in the hands of Miss Labrida Hanby, who aided the editorial staff, and Nliss Margaret Beighley, who kept the financial condi- tions in order. 47 HILLTOPPER STAFF It has been the duty ,gf the Senior Hilltopper Staff to publish our 1947 annual. During the past few months of school, this group has spent much time in preparing the pictures, features, and writings that have gone into this annual. Bob Parker, our Editor-in-chief, headed the work, and was capably assisted by Marty Baltzell, Associate Editor, and Peg Grove, Business Manager. In charge of the various departments were: Literary Editor .,,.. . ., ., ..., . .... ..,...,.....,.......,. .,.. . . .Joan Rice Photography Editor .. , . . ,. .. ,.....,.... ..,.. ..,,.

Continuing an arrangement started last year eleven juniors were elected to worlc with this year's senior staff as preparation for their work on the 1948 Hilltopper. This group was assigned to the advertising department in which they proved very valuable. We wish to the Junior Staff the best of luck in their publication of the 48', annual. 48 SENIOR PLAY The Senior Class presented Kitty Eoylen on November 7th and 8ch. After much hard work on the part of the cast and our coach, Mrs. Borell, it proved very successful. Kitty, who was trying to earn a comfortable living by working in Delphine's Beauty Shoppe in New York, was burdened by her Father, who was miserable with rheumatis all his life. Myrtle, the colored maid, helped Pop through his worst minute. Molly, who was against men, tried to teach Kitty her ideas, but Kitty had her own, especially about Wyn Strafford, whom she won and married much against Mrs. Stratford and Mr. Kennett,s will. Veronica Gladwyn had her ideas about Wyn, too, but they didn't prove successful. Parry Berwyn, a sport reporter, was always making a slip of the tongue in front of Wyn's Mother and getting him in trouble. In the end everything worked out wonderful. The cast included: Robert Karns, Joan Rice, Andy Kistler, Eleanore Huston, Lois Chapin, John Buck, Sally Ebbert, Shirley Snyder, Marilyn Smith, James Best, Donna Mitchell, Margaret Grove, and Lyle Shuffstall. Business and Production committees: Jackie Courson, Barbara Voith, Alice Bergman, Norma Schaub, Bob Parker, Bill Ross, Marco Spezially, and Earl Yarnell. JUNIOR PLAY The class of 48,, chose a comedy Miss Jimmyn as their play for this year. Ir was very successful under the capable direction of Mrs. Deiter. The cast consisted of Babrara Reib, Kay Voith, Donna English, Gwendolyn Doutt, Barbara Baltzell, Robert Mong, Bill Rembold, Ruth Anderson, and Charles Worden. The business and production committee included: Harry Shuffstall, Milton Check, Joyce Gravatt, Jim Porter, Paul Ross, Paul Gibbons, Eleanor Hagerty, Doris Robson, Martha Keas, Roger Grimm, Joan Fry, and Wanda Mackall. 40 HHH ,Hue Deck s!l1 ? y Suk ltsgmy -' , 7 sfo: Q 5 4 Q all Qsg 6 X 'fci 5.9 l 'M 'eI1 It l A Q 7 X gy -zz- 0 b N .f:.- YQ 1 gXKl 5 ' I as xx xxx 11,7714 fllfffflgfbl I 1111 I llll 1, 0 aflzlefic Gounci Seated-Mr. Carter, Mr. Wertman, Mr. Mitchell.

The Council is made up of Grant Mitchell, Arthur Young, Arden Allen, C. E. Wertman, R. Glenn Carter, Vincent Curran, R. G. Henderson, and George O. Lindsey. They did a fine job during the season in booking games, referees and securing good equipment for the team. Everyone congratulates them for the big part they took in our fine season. 52 G.A.A SPORTY SEVEN Do you eat candy at the basketball games and do you know where it comes from? If so I guess you know who and what the Sporty Seven is. This, our twen- ty-seventh year we would like to thank the students for helping us to make it a victory. Because of your co-operation and the help of our adviser Miss Chapin, we sin- cerely feel that this year has been a true success. It is because of this that we are able to have our Athletic Banquet and in this way show our team that the school is behind them 1002. A Qouncil VARSITY CHEERLEADERS Did you notice the familiar faces leading the Varsity Cheers this year? If you didn't you should have! The five left-overs from last year were re-elected by Miss Hughes, who is this year's coach.-No try-outs were held. Leading the Orioles to winning the league with loud vigorous cheers, these cheerleaders were just a tired bunch of kids after the games were over. The squad consisted of Janice Hoffman, Lois Chapin, Seniorsg Wanda Mackell, Doris Rob- son and Charlie Worden, Juniors. Much of the success of this squad was due to the hard efforts of Miss Hughes. JUNIOR VARSITY CHEERLEADERS Something was added to the games, hoth home and away, in the form of V. Cheer- leaders, wearing uniforms of black sweaters and white skirts. These cheerleaders were really good pep- per-uppersi' with lots of pep and new cheers with clever ways of doing them. Two girls from this squad will be chosen to replace the two out-going Seniors on the Varsity squad next year. Miss Olive Hughes, coached the V. Cheer- leaders. Composing the squad are: Pat Karns, Jackie Renninger, Donna English, Maureen Wygant and Anna Bailey. Xfarsity Basketball Squad. The Varsity Basketball team of Rocky Grove has had another one of its successful years. Led by two capable veterans-John Buck and Del Osborne-the varsity has again copped the Bi- County league championship. Two of the great upsets of the year were Rocky Grove winning over both Oil City and Franklin. Rocky Grove has never before beat Oil City on their own floor since the beginning of the rivalry between the two schools. Nor have they beat Oil City on the Grove's home floor for the last fifteen years. The last victory took place on the Armory floor in Franklin. In the case of Franklin it was another story as we had defeated them in 1944 on our own floor. This year we lost the first game to them only to come back on the second try and win 29 to 55. Supporting Buck and Osborne in important roles were-Howard fCorkyl Hunter, Ronald fsonnyj Buck, Harry fDutchl Shuffstall and Earl fHootchl Hood. Behind the first team was the capable support of the second team composed of Richard Russell, Ray Henderson, Paul Sampsall and Ronald Smith. Also deserving credit are the three managers-Bob Parker, Roger Grimm and Lyle Shaffstall. All in all the varsity had a very successful season and deserves a lot of credit and congratu- lations. 56 'Q .Eh JUNIOR-VARSITY This year, in the eyes of the writer and lim sure many others, Coach Curran turned out one of the best Junior Varsity squads ever to come out of RGHS. The Junior Varsity had a fast-breaking and close-defensive team, led by veteran Jim Porter and lanky Carl Knock. The Vfs, as they are called, won 17 and lost 3, showing very good team work and shoot- ing. The Vfs are entering the Emlenton Tournament and weire sure they'll give their best and come out high, Supporting Porter and Knoch in very cap- able roles on the squad were Richard Wagner, Bruce Turner, Donald Neely, Harry Reed, John Beers and Charles Vogus. It is apparent to all those that have watched this group, that both they and their coach deserve a lot of credit for their grand piece of work. JUNIOR HIGH Under the able coaching of Glenn Hogue, Rocky Grove Junior High had a good season this year but fell just a little short of taking their Junior league as everyone hoped they would. However, just because they didn't is not saying they weren't in there fighting every minute. The Junior High had a fine squad and de- serves a lot of credit as the boys really worked hard. On the squad are Charles Coughlan, Robert lVIcClimmans, James Brandon, James Mulhoul- and, Harold Ward, Thomas Gibbons, Gene Davis, Keith Smith, Corliss Smith, and Charles Campbell. Nice going gang! 59 I W, N., 5. wg 52 Glass will ARTICLE I On this twenty-first day of May, One-Thousand-Nine-Hundred-andForty- Seven, we, the Senior Class of Rocky Grove High School, Sugarcreek Township, Venango County, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, supposedly of sound and dis- posing mind and body, do hereby make and publish this, our last will and testament, in order, as justly as may be, to distribute our interests in the school among the succeeding classes, and, with the official publishing of this, do hereby and herewith declare all previous incumbent commitments null and void.

These events are important as they shaped much of our school year. First in importance perhaps was that the 1946-47 basketball season was ended by taking the District 10 laurels, a height never before reached by an Oriole quintet. In the first game of the contest for this title, we easily defeated Randolph High. Our second victims were the Mustangs of Mercer High which had defeated us twice in our regular schedule. In the third and final game, we coasfed in for a 65-32 victory over Youngsville to make us the District 10 Champions. On March 28 the Physical Education department presented a gym exhibition which included tumbling, work on the parallel bars and horse, pyramid building, marching drills, drills with Indian clubs and dumbbells. A patriotic theme was featured throughout the program, which was climaxed with the reading of the Star Spangled Banner by a group of eight choral readers. Miss Olive Hughes and Mr. Vincent Curran were in charge of the exhibition, which was well received by the public. On Friday, April 11, the Music department presented its annual Spring Festi- val. It included numbers by the orchestra, girls, chorus, boys, chorus, girls, sextet, boys' quartet, Junior High chorus, Junior High girls' ensemble, and a mixed en- semble. The Music departmen', under the direction of Miss Doris Engstdom and Mr. Lee Raup, has contributed much to the life of the school and the Spring Festival represented the climax of a yearis fun and hard work. The Music department also presented a dance on the 25th of April to raise money to buy music awards for those people who, through their work and coopera- tion, had earned them during the past year. The Swing Band provided three hours of music you couldnit help dancing to and a wonderful time was had by all. Instead of having a Y-Teen Banquet and a Mothers' Tea this year, the Y-Teen club decided to have something a little different. So they combined the two and entertained their mothers at a Mother and Daughter Banquet. It was held on April 23 in the gymnasium. A delightful dinner and program combined to make the new experiment a huge success. 65 65 lw's o ORCHESTRA Martha Baltzell, Bob Mong, Larry Mong, Barbara Heasly, John Davidson, Kay Voith, Donna Mitchell, Charles Coughlin, Barbara Voith, Sally Ebbert, Janet Moyer, Barbara Baltzell, James Best, Jane Wertman, Charles Loveless, Raimer Baltzell, Bill Rembold, Mary McCartney, Sally Rosenberger, Eleanor Huston.
