P i N 1 JBEUME III PRESENTED B9 THE CLA55 DF H98 W x Un ZQ6 HLLQWMQ . eau mmf M2004 New Now is the Hour when we have come to the parting of the way. Way back in the year 1945 we weren't thinking of graduation as much as We were of the mischief we could get into. We were decidedly the freshest Freshman class in the school's history. Drs. Kahle and l-lanby, and Psychia- trist Douglas diagnosed our disease as an advanced case of ninth-grade-itis. There were hopes that the patients would recover. We- had then weathered through a Magazine Sale and the usual activities that were designed to relieve us of too much energy, so with the strains of Brahm'sf Lullaby we were eased into the Tenth Grade. lt was under the new staff of Drs. Vifeyand and Delrtemer that a mild cure was affectedlwith the new use of music as a drug, and while we were under treatment We were content -to sing Don't Get Around Much Anymore. Resuming our Sentimental Iourney we all very firmly and wholehearted- ly subscribed to the theory of Manana. Thanksto the efforts of Mrs. Vonarx, our class advisor, we selected our officers as follows: Bob'Mong, President, Willard' Kingsley, Vice-President, and Barbara Baltzell as Secretary. With the time for our Iunior Play drawing near, We suffered from a new disease that no music could cure. We got the mumps, both separately and collectively, so that when Miss Iimmy came to tread the boards at R. G. H. S., Barb had to leave us and Lois, her understudy, didia good job of taking her place. As we entered our Senior year the jukeboxes were playing Peg of My Heart, Apple Blossom Wedding and Heartaches. We thought we were very dignified and didn't need any advice from our parents, still no matter what we did we ended up more convinced than ever that 0ur Hearts Still Belonged to Daddy. We jangledrour pennies in our pockets and pleaded with the Whole school Not to Take Our Penny. That was our Senior Play and we were so taken by the notices it got, that we thought we had a Broadway hit for sure. But time rang down the curtain on the stage and the lights went upon the basketball floor. We 'Went to Franklin to the tune of Pass That Peace Pipe and came home singing We Did lt Before and We Can Do lt Again. lt was a sorry day for the whole school when that tune didn't carry over to our repeated games with Cranberry. lt' was the middle of Ianuary when the various Senior Groups Went to work to smooth our way to graduation. Now we Weren't so sure we wanted it all to end. Tulip Time was sung in a minor key as we remembered when we wor- ried about the Prom, the ceiling, and Whether the program would last too long. This year We were the guests, but the hustle and rush came to be a precious thing. lt was then we realized as never before that we were just a part of the passing parade at B.. G. H. S. and it was time we became History with the rest of the Senior Classes. , Another year has rolled around, 'Tis time to bid farewell, To all the happy days We had, And the school We loved so well. We really had a lot of fun,- Remember the songs We sang? During a game or after a dance, With the same old lovable gang. Gee how We'd yell, take off our hats, And Hail our Winning team, Who wouldn't turn back on the orange Though dark, the game would seem. My Emi 7a QW Then there were banquets and promenades, Which meant-a lovely evening spent, Singing and laughing with your favorite friends, Or dancing to your heart's content. We'll miss these things an awful lot, But we'll miss the teachers more, They taught us the things on which our whole life clings, lnterlaced with bliss galore. So in conclusion, with these few words, Whenever you take a look The memories We cherish, Will never perish From the pages of this book. -Roger Grimm Wide UM Um! NZ! af We MM Week Qmwiicm Maw mf Www zqcfmmdlfmiian 044464 zdciwziied .Spank 7he UM fazmfp ffqhfea Our feature vocalist, Mr. Carter has one of the hardest jobs in the school and no one will deny it. One of his chief worries is keeping things in tune and being certain we all have the right music. His humor and humaness, his vitality and his willingness has made him a part of Rocky Grove that we shall always remember. With Mr. Carter taking over his new duties, we will miss, or should we say the under-classmen will miss, being able to take their classroom problems to such an understanding person. But then, as the new Concert-master, we will still know that we have our favorite vocalist handy. Conductor Wertnian is still leading the band. l-le stands behind his podium, with his friendly dig- nity, with a wave of his baton and a nod of his head, presto chango our problems are solved. As a matter of fact, Mr. Wertman has little of the fun that is in the business oi running a school but all the worries. l-le gives freely of his time and experience that Rocky Grove graduates may be better able to cope with the problem of every day life. lt is with regret that we realize that we will be the last group to finish up our school days under this able conductor, but we agree with the rest of the community that he has justly earned his retirement. UM Ewa! Www 6 In flfcafkmq WZ! Qcm Jena ZZQCWM We Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me miqht sound a little harsh but then, what orchestra would try to play Without first consulting their arranaers. We just couldn't. Without them everyone would try to interpret the score differently, and as a result, discord. But they select our musical scores, plan our con- cert tour, draw up our prcqram, all which results in a smooth playinq orchestra. Last but not least they are responsible for our tun tor it is their doing that makes our school one of the best equipped ones in the district. 7 Say 7Z5LZ Qcmhe 14 Qfzzenczf Eg Ediih V.

As an answer they elected themselves some class officers --fBill Rembold, Roger Grimm, and Barbara Baltzell. lt was their job to solve the problem oi what musical num' ber they should play next. This presented another problem, so it was to Mrs. lordan, that they turned to then. ln December, Mrs. lordan surprised them all and leit them. So then they had no one else to turn to but the Qld Devil Moon himself. But never the less, they had a lot ot iun their all important senior year.

Penny, as the rnain character was portrayed by Gwen Doutt. Her rnain interest in life was to become a great actress. Her devoted girl friend, loanne, who really was Donna Eng- lish, helped her prepare for her career by quoting Shake- speare to her. The boy interest in the play was furnished by Bill Rembold and Charlie Worden as Greg and Kerry. ln their opinion, the girls' main interest should have been a tennis match. Penny's family all had interests of their own and were so involved in their own private lives that they never rea- lized what was going on. Dutch Shuffstall who played Penny's father Caleb, acted the typical bored parent to perfection, even to not being interested in anything but the elevator strike. His wife, Lydia, was wrapped up in telling other people how to rear their children.

Also interested in grain was brother Mark, but not to eat. lim Porter wanted to raise some chickens on his farm that no one would buy for him. Gram was the only one in the family who paid any at- tention to Penny and her friends. Lois Campbell played this part very well. The maid in this household was Sallyefwho had been a child star and was attemptina a comeback' Jackie Renninqer played Sally while Ben Edwards played Norman Porter, the press aqent. A touch of humor was added to the play by Henri, the French designer, who really, behind the accent was, Milton Check. Harrison Day, the writer, played by Don Spindler, was the gentleman that Penny's family in one way or another attempted to impress. The little fellow, Red, who had so much trouble with his boxes from Hathaways was really Wayne Netzler. M. Henri's models were Doris Hobson, Barbara Baltzell, Norma Redfield, Wanda Mackell, Pat Karns, Barbara Reib.

But it couldn't last forever. Oil City started our Tragic Overture, and from then on we really had our ups and downs. But we were Beautiful Dreamers when the Orioles told us They Were Coming Back, but Didn't Know When. We hit another streak so to speak, near the end of the season, rolling to five consecutive victories, starting with Sharpsville and ending with Sharpsville. The Orioles were determined that Cranberry couldn't take the Champion- ship away from them. So they fought on to a first-place tie with Cranberry, which resulted in a title play-off on March 2. That we lost, 31-30, giving Cran- berry the Crown we had so valiantly defended. But, Someday, Somewhere, we'll meet again and then maybe it will be our chance. All in all, with the high scoring of Son Buck and Dirt Porter, the expert floormanship of Corky Hunter, and the fighting hearts of Dutch Shuffstall and Cal Knoch, we had an outstanding quintet. Backing this first team was the second squad composed of Dick Wagner, Paul Sarnpsell, and Earl Hood, who were there to help when the time came. lt's been Coach Curran's ability to mold fine players into a winning team that has made him the outstanding coach in the School's history.

With the season over and the fellows asking Where do We go from here? , Mr. Curran entered his I. V. quintet in the Emlenton tournament in which they went Rolling Along to the finals, Where their basketball season came to a fighting finish, at the hands of St. losephs. The Iunior Varsity was paced by Bob McClimans, who consistently scored in the double figures. Backing him were Harold Ward, Donald Neely, Andrew Yurkanin, Charles Coughlin, Raimer Baltzell, and Keith Smith. A high scoring quintet, the I. V. outfit, gives Mr. Curran much working ma- terial With which to mold a fast-hard-fighting varsity next year. Again it was Coach Curran's basketball ability and dominant personality that enabled him to mold an outstanding quintet. Iohn Tincler, who was the Iunior Varsity Manager, deserves much credit for his work, which made it possible for the I.

Mr. Hogue deserves much credit in producing such a successful team. All the hard work and miseries taken into consideration, he produced a quintet that was Good, Good, Good.
