The basis for nomination included not only beauty, but scholarship, participation in school activities, personality, and promotion of school spirit. Miss Stella Stalter certainly measures up to these qualifications. During the past three years she has been active in GAA, Y-Teens, the Rampage, and the Rogerion. Fulfilling the position of scholar, helping promote school activities, beauty, and personality, leaves no question as to why Governor DiSalle has chosen Miss Stella Stalter. Miss STELLA STALTER ROGERIAN QUEEN k. VIRGINIA NAPIERALA BONNIE BUCHELE MARY GIGAX State of Ohio OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Columbus 15 MrcHAEL V DiSalle OOVERNOn January 26, 1959 Miss Pat Thompson Co-Editor, The Rogerian Rogers High School 5539 Nebraska Avenue Toledo 7, Ohio Dear Miss Thompson: In all my activities as Governor, I hope that the decisions to be made will not be as difficult as the one you imposed upon me in making a selection from the number of beautiful girls presented. In real political style I might have declared it a tie, but, having made up my mind that decisions will have to be made, I consulted with ray staff and after much deliberation we came to the conclusion that Stella Stalter should be the 1959 Rogerian queen. S cerely, MICHAEL V. DiSALLf Governor MVD-mel CAROL POHLMAN MARILYN ANDERSON Filtering out solid material from various liquids is a task often per¬ formed in room 224, the chemistry lob. Jeanne Wasmundt and Donald Pfaflf use the filter and tubing that, according to Robert Bean, chem¬ istry instructor, can be attached to a condenser to form a vacuum. In quest of pure reason Rogers seminar science class received notoriety, complete Vv ' ith picture, in the Toledo Blade during January because of its unusual program in furthering the science education of RHS students. Pupils taking the special course receive no academic credit. Joe Dence, one of the classes ' enthusiastic pupils stirs a solution to increase its concentration. 6 General science classes, the starting of science study in the upper grades, open many new doors to Rogers ' entering fresh¬ men. Harvey Soule follows the spark on high voltage transform¬ er for Sharon Nopierolo, an¬ other student of the novice science course. It was quite on event when biolo¬ gists discovered that the big green tomato hornworm could fly 35 miles per hour os on adult sphinx moth. They were thrilled, too, when they found that the golden plover, o relative of the kildeer, flew 8,000 miles twice each year during its migration. These future biologists, shown here learning the structure of the omebo, now study discoveries of other scientists, but soon will be making important discoveries of their own. Senior science, technically known os physiology, is the study of the human body and its core. As o cop to their scientific stud¬ ies, senior students learn about themselves, study the proper core of their body, and devote con¬ siderable time and attention to various aspects of social vices affecting their health. The complicated world of math Signs and symbols, negative and positive numbers, square numbers, and unknowns are just a few of the numerical terms dealt with in the advanced algebra classes. Taken in the third or fourth year of the study of high school mathematics, the advanced course is designed to stimulate the student ' s mind toward the subject and encourage further a study of mathemati cs. Sue Ditt- man appears to have little trouble in the mastering of a typical ad¬ vanced algebra problem. High up in the study of mathematics, these trigonometry boys attack an impressive looking trigonometry problem with zest. Studying of trigonometry is the final step in mathematical preparation for college. Shown here, Jerry Hall demonstrates the opera¬ tion of a slide rule to Jim Lorenzen while Jon Zachman refers to the book for additional help. Learning procedures... Ready, begin; asdf jkl; asdf jkl; That was a familiar beginning and result in the opening weeks of typing class. Later on the students learned to improve their fingering, speed, and accuracy with emphasis on correct procedure in business typing stressed in the second semester. business. Business of business is often complicated — Judy Tussing can testify to that, as she learns the operation of the adding ma¬ chine. Ruth Rothlisberger makes use of a paper cutter with the aid of Barbara Mansfield who checks the paper ' s measurements. One of the important functions of the business department, in addition to the teaching of business procedures, is the reproducing of various tests and impor¬ tant papers for other departments. Two Marilyn ' s (Ladd inspecting the finished copy and Anderson operating the ma¬ chine itself) use the ditto machine as Diane McComesky types a stencil. The storehouse of knowledge Dedicated to the former superintendent of Adams Township public schools, the Sarah M. Perry Library contains over 3,800 volumes available to the students of RHS. According to Russell West, librarian, the reference and study room utilizes a staff of some 20 student librarians and 19 projectionists. As the head of the audio visual department and library ' s projectionists bettered their 1958 record of showing 334 films to 47,953 students at 1,093 showings. The concept of self-expression Art students apply their knowledge learned in beginning classes in this advanced group. Blending their own color combinations and applying them to canvas is no easy job, as the students soon learn in room 210. Mr. Don Eaton holds the job of lone instructor to future Rembrandts. Metal enameling is another of the jobs tackled by art students. Also taught in the advanced classes, the enameling work being done will eventually appear in various objects such as women ' s earrings, neck¬ laces, and bracelets. Novices in the field of publication, these Journalism I students learn the ins and outs of publishing. After a year spent in learning the fundamentals of journalism, these buz groups v ill break up as the individuals work for a position on the staff of the school newspaper, the Rampage. The art of presenting an effective oration is one of the school learned skills most widely used after graduation. In addition to learning the proper writing and delivering techniques of a formal speech, students also learn self- confidence in preparation for meeting people in everyday life. Judy Gibbs is shown dem¬ onstrating proficiency in the oratorical art. Language-arts in varied forms With headquarters in room 208, the advanced journalism class has financed the purchase of their entire equipment at a cost of over $1,400. Sue Endicott, in foreground, and Judy Spahr use the mimeoscopes in last minute preparation on the Rampage. Those students aspirjng to attend college make a last stop for high school English instruction in room 216. Two such students, Larry Oliszewski and Sandy Kibler, appear puzzled over an assignment implacably administered by their sedulous instructor. Miss Josephine Sparks. Molten steel is worthy of protective measures os Rogers boys learn during practical experi¬ ence gained in shop courses. From left, Jerry Fisher, Tom Kronberg, and Jerry Urbanski don goggles, protective gloves and shinguards before learning die casting skills. Learning to read upside down and back¬ wards is no easy job, either, as these boys in the print shop can testify. With stick (a device used in the setting of type) in hand the apprentices tackle their job printing with zeal to turn out jobs for other departments of the school. . , preparing for the job- Need a table, lamp, or book¬ case? The well equipped boys in Rogers wood shop are the boys to see. Students enrolled in wood shop start with elementary woodworking projects and work toward becoming first class craftsmen. The boys are fur¬ nished with the fnest of tools with many of their projects going into actual service as gifts to their parents. li ' ' f ■ - n ] • 1 1 J ♦.. preparing for the road. Sportsmanlike Driving is the title of the text book and the topic for many a discussion in driver education classes. Driving students attend class on a five day week basis — three days in the classroom and two in actual experience on the road. Attending a driver education course not only gives an excellent driver education program with credit applicable to graduation, but also lowers the insurance rates of the trainee. ... preparing for the home. Girls enrolled in the homemaking department learn skills considered a must in the life of a housewife. Cooking, sewing, the management of the modern home, and even the planning of a budget are taught to avail each girl of a broad background in homemaking. Shown at left are sewing students at work on one of their latest creations — students learn to design, pattern, and sew their own dresses. Another facet of homemaking is shown by Barbara Wheating, Janice Duvall, and Connie Kwiatkowski, who, by the way, were the top three honors in the departmen ' ' s cherry pie baking contest with Connie ' s creation winning first place. Panel discussions are one way of pounding world history into the sophomore students usually registered for the course. The history of the world, from Caesar Augustus to Dwight Eisenhower, is taught from various angles to generate in the subject which serves as a background course for nearly every major. Fred Pomeranz, Sue Derderian, and Robert Arehart engage in a three way report that varies the daily routine. Looking back over the year ' s studies in American history seems pleasant to these students of the junior level social science. Dealing strictly with happenings on home soil, and a required course for those in the junior year, the class may deal with everything from the Articles of Confederation to our present constitution. Ronald Meeker and Becky Meinka appear happy with their experience in American history. The absorption of heritage ... A black-board type map of the United States is featured in this scene also taken from a history classroom. This particular map may be washed before providing the background for a blank map test in which students fill in the 13 original colonies, divi¬ sions of territory, or the identification of the nation ' s 49 states from their outline alone. Pat Black and Janice Dressle demon¬ strate the U. S. as it probably was near 1840. Classroom study of Lat in is made interesting to the classes ' enrollment by the use of models and figurines patterned after the people and places of ancient Rome. Shelby Long points to a galley which was powered in part by brisk sea breezes with the remaining propulsion being left to slaves. John Hilfinger, at left, dons a white robe to keep in step with Ed Boerst and Janice Roe, who came prepared for their studies dressed in Roman costumes. our own and that of others Thinking of bullfights and vacations in sunny Spain seems among the favorite thoughts of these students who elected Spanish as their foreign language. As it is in French class, no less than two years of Spanish are required to complete a foreign language minor. The Spanish minor or major is also highly acceptable toward college admittance. Theresa Lewandowski is garbed in a Spanish scarf and joins Linda Gentry, David Damm, and Darel Taylor in doing a bit of Spanish daydreaming from the language ' s base of operations. Room 212. Ah! Mon Chere! would madam like to sip zee wine? This might be a typical question asked by an ambitious waiter as he greets his costumers in a small French cafe, located on the second floor of Rogers High School. Lessons learned under Mile. Margaret Miller in French class are squeezed into two short years and become a valuable asset when applying for college admission. Becky Mann, Jim Kamm, Donna Stick, and Eddy Mauk add more than a little spice to their daily studies. rtinUtpwMM IfHUt t n ttlWt . eniord Our goal is the future, our duty is using what we have learned, with this we shall succeed. i After twelve years of schooling, seniors are graduated to the outside world. Some of these graduates have four or more years of school ahead of them, and others will immediately plunge into the working world. No matter which they do, these seniors will be the future backbone of the country and what they acquired in their schooling will be brought out to the best of their ability. Now, as always, there were those chosen to lead while others followed. Some of these people will be great leaders in the political, business, and scientific worlds. Others will be every day workers upon whom the lead¬ ers will depend. Their course was planned by the friends they made, the subjects they took, and the teachers they met in former school years who helped in molding their character and forming their outlook on life. Teachers, friends, ac¬ tivities, and the fashions of the day will be looked back upon with fond memories and bring a chuckle or two as one remembers high school days. Even though school brought many a moan and groan at the time, these times will be recalled as the best years of one ' s life. Homecoming, senior pictures, name cards, announcements, and the prom all blended together to make a memorable senior year. This was the climax to school days, but not to learning itself. Ahead of these graduates are days of knowledge of the adult world. With a big step forward and a slight look backwards, the seniors march on. ' iyi ■A J n Nancy Hebei, John Lorenzen, Dennis Micham, Marilyn Anderson. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Presiding over the senior class was John Lorenzen. Much credit is due to John ' s leadership ability, knowl¬ edge, and perseverance. Dennis Micham was vice president and assisted the president in leading the senior class to many organized func¬ tions and social activities. As treasurer of the senior class, Marilyn Anderson handled all of the financial matters and took charge of ordering the senior announcements. 18 Nancy Hebei fulfilled the position as secretary. Taking notes at the senior class meetings and inform¬ ing the school of our activities kept Nancy busy. CLASS OF 1959 Upon entering Rogers High School os its first sophomore class, we, the graduating class of 1959 combined our ideas brought with us from previous schools to help form our next three years at Rogers. Working together to better our efforts and stabilize our ideas, we have sponsored various successful functions and entertaining activities. Events most looked forward to during the senior year were homecoming, senior trip, banquet, junior-senior prom, and graduation. These memorable occa¬ sions make up a lasting memory of Rogers High School. For many of us the road ahead will be long and trying. We will each seek our separate path in life, whether it be col¬ lege, an important job, marriage, or a lifetime career. Our lives will be filled with many problems and decisions, but success is met only through hard work and determination. We will always hold in deepest appreciation the knowledge and experience we have gained at Rogers High School. These assets will enable us to become better citizens of tomorrow. Our senior class advisors have helped in guiding us toward graduation. Credit is due to Miss Sparks, Miss Collins, Mr. Warner, and Mr. Schultz. These have been wonderful years which we shall remember; no matter how far we may roam, our Alma Mater will always remain a lasting memory.

It is said that an institution never rises above its leaders. We may w ' ell apply this old, but true saying to the faculty. Through their leadership we are fostered through the years of high school and counseled in all under¬ takings, especially those which have to do with our final career in life after graduation. It is our teachers who so often give us in¬ dividual help to realize and finally to fulfill our personal potentialities. They do more than any other group to help us understand and appreciate the liberty and the freedom which is ours. No other profession in our society can equal teachers in their loyalty to the finer things of life, in their interest in preserving the worthwhile things from the past, and in the discovery of the new ideas that will make our future even greater. The teaching of students can be defined in many ways. It can be the pride a teacher feels read¬ ing the name of some for¬ mer pupil awarded an honor, or an adventure which the teacher em¬ barks upon at the beginning of each new school year. It is they who give us the help¬ ing hand, the reassuring smile, and the en¬ couraging pat on the shoulder which seems to make each difficult thing just a little bit easier to accomplish. Their compensation comes from the satisfaction of seeing their students respond and progress under their academic teaching and extra-curricular guidance. We are very fortunate to have such fine and understanding leaders who share the task of instructing the student body. I Congenial, dedicated, and respected . . . These words can truly be attributed to Mr. Carl J. Rasmus. We can always find him scurrying around from school to school doing his job as superintendent of schools. Defiance College, Ohio State University, and Columbia University can truly be proud of this educational asset. Here we see Mr. Rasmus looking up from his desk, where he has very little time to spend. But, with all of the work he has to do, Mr. Rasmus can still be called a true Spartan for education. School Board Gives Rogers High Many accomplishments have been made by the Board of Educations of Adams Township. Daily they are faced with the many new problems a community such as Adams presents. We, the students of Rogers and our parents are grateful for all the board has done for us. LEFT TO RIGHT: Mr. Carl J. Rasmus, Mrs. Marguerite Sawin, Mr. Bernard C. Hardy, Mr. Stanley Reynolds, Mr. John Wiley, Mr. John Blessing, and Mrs. Betty Fought. The busiest man in Rogers High is L. J. Fishbaugh, our principal.

Father time has turned the pages and we, the underclassmen, find ourselves at the close of another school year. In the be¬ ginning of the year we had very definite ideas we considered very valuable and im¬ portant, and now our ideas have changed. As we advanced in classwork, new ideas took over and the old lost in importance. At first we were frightened, confused, and worried. Our world was small, bordered by small experiences. As we entered the portals of Rogers High School we had new expe¬ riences through books and personal contacts. As our knowledge increased so did our self- confidence and importance. We had choices to make. Which courses would we take? What occupation or profession did we want to follow after school years were over? Which courses are necessary to pre¬ pare for our chosen work? Some of the required courses changed our first ideas and made them impractical. New so¬ cial experiences also opened new avenues of thought. The teachers we met and had for subjects opened new doors of thought. Each year we had the pleasure of selecting new officers to lead our class and along with new office rs came new ideas and duties. We had new members entering our class and we had the misfortune of los¬ ing old members. At times we were able to look at the world through rose colored glasses, but the glasses became a little dark and through the change we emerged stronger in character, and with a wider horizon as we became realistic. We saw ourselves as we are — products of the Ameri¬ can school system. I CLASS OF 1960 Maybe the United States never has had a woman president, but the Class of 1960 did. In fact all the officers were of the fairer sex. Seated very prettily in the lobby are, LEFT TO RIGHT, Bon- Although the junior year in high school is supposed to be one of the busiest, our class kept pretty active back in the ninth grade. Making acquaintances and learning the routine of high school life seemed to take up most of our time. In our sophomore year we slowed down to learn about being a high schooler. But before long we were busy joining organizations and going out for athletics, besides our school work. There we were — juniors — and still keeping pretty nie Huff, secretary; Diane Keiser, vice-president; Judy Snow, president; and Judy Work, treasurer. busy. To lead our class in its various undertakings class officers were chosen. After waiting for three years we finally received our long-awaited class rings. This was also the year to raise funds to give the an¬ nual junior-senior prom. There was quite a lengthy list of juniors who won athletic awards in all fields. The scholastic standing and sportsmanship of our class was well above average. Thus the junior class of 1959 has gone ' through a year of study, fun, and sport. 62 Beverly Adamski Christine Adamski John Ahifors Bruce Alexander Pat Alexander Bill Anderson Ronald Austin Richard Barber Ron Bauer Cindy Beczynski Charles Beebe Ramon Bell Bob Benton Karen Bernheisel Sherrie Bettinger Paul Bollin Sandra Bradley Carolyn Brimmer Mel Brode Beverly Broode Susie Brookhart Helen Brown Sandra Buhler Shirley Bush Judy Calkins Katherine Carl Marie Carr Sandy Christen Tom Christen Douglas Churchill Jo Ann Converse Sharon Cooper t Albert Cousino William Crone Dennis Cybulski Mike Davis Donna Day Joyce Dennis Janet Dembeck Dave Dernier Donna DeSalle Beverly DiRienz Barbara Dixon Robert Dorgiewicz Deane Downey Diane Downey Janice Dressel Donna Estlock Barbara Evans Ed Farbrother Walter Files Francis Findley Norman Fitsko Bob Flesh Honare Francois Sue Frankhouser Jerry Garcia Doug Garno Dan Gedert Cecelia Ed Dumit Duvall Bobbie Kenneth Dunn Earl Marge Gedert Richard Gedert Arlene Gee Joyce Geith Joseph Dutched Susan Endicott Annette Majewski Bernard Majewski Inge Mauksch Ronald MacRitchie John McKeand Bill McKown Ronald Meeker Becky Meinka Louis Menke Sue Mauter Terry McLean Bill Menzel Donald MacRitchie Barbara Meade Gary Mi ley Paul Kulwicki Connie Edith Shirley Kwiatkowski Large Lovewell John Barbara Albin Laberdee Larimer Ludwikowski Marlene Patricia Jack Lalendorff Lawecki Lundy Paul Eddie Pam LaPoint Ledyard Lupu Linda Douglas Larry Larason Loomis Madden Jim Albert Albert Minakes Nowakowski Papenfus Elizabeth Charles Ray Mockensturn Nuding Patterson Jim Sandy Phyllis Nagorski Ogren Paulson Jesse Norman John Nino Orzehowski Pershing Pat Charlene Marvin Northern Ottesen Petry Charles Wayne Elaine Platzke Rasmusser Riddle Gail Jim Janice Platzke Rawlins Roe Evonne Arlene Irene Pohimar Rhodes Rogers Genevieve David Donald Pruden Richards Root Georgia Jim Christine Pruden Richardson Roshong ■1 Sherrie Saba Judy Sauer Fred Schikora Carolyn Schlegel Beverly Schmidt I I ‘ I Russel Schwalbert Bill Schwind Larry Seegert Janet Sell Lamont Sharp li! j .

Since that first day we entered Rogers as sophomores, we have struggled hard to gain recognition. Despite the fact that the upperclassmen deigned only to look down upon us, we saw promising ability in many fields. After the election of class ofRcers and student council members in October, our extracurricular activities got under way. Sportsmanship and enlarging the class treasury were only some of the goals we set to strive for. Unity came to our class by getting behind and putting forth an effort to make all our projects a suc¬ cess. Scholastic ability ranked high in our class along with athletic ability. We can look back with pride upon our sophomore year as a year full of achievement and look forward even more to being Rogers ' fourth junior class. 70 i Gary Abbe Tom Adamski Glenn Albert Judy Alcorn Linda Alvanos Jackie Amos Dorene Arehart Robert Arehart Carol Babcock Valerie Baker Barbara Bauer Doug Bauman Susan Beczynski Mike Beidleman Jerry Bell Harold Belles Ardell Bohland Jacqueline Bolman Bernadine Bonfiglo Keith Borkenhagen Judy Bowman Kenneth Brazeau Mike Brazeau Jerilyn Brown Robert Brown Ronnie Brown Phillip Brower Nancy Brubaker Nancy Burgermeister James Burgin Kathy Burgy Bob Burkhart Larry Calfee Dennis Callahan John Carlozzi Dennis Carnes June Carney Sandy Childers Joyce Christen Diane Chorney Mike Cochran Pam Conrad Sandra Cready Madeline Crowley John Cumberworth Linda Cunningham David Damm Sue Derderian Esther DeWitt Ed Downey Betty Droves Albin Dudek Randy Dunham Earl Dunlap Janice Duvall Rosemary Dziurda Judy Eberhardt Rose Edson Carol Ehrsam Sandy Eitniear Edson Ely Charles Erdman John Ernst Rod Farnsworth Daniel Flory Linda Fought Harrison Franklin Larleine Farwell Carol Feldhaus Walter Felt Vince Fleck Sharon Garczynski Clifton Gear Rose Gedert Sue Geisler Pete Gentieu Jack Gentry Lawrence Gentry Linda Gentry John Gerhart Sharon Gozdowski Jerry Gracyk Cornel Grant Virginia Griner Rod Gruen Dan Hahn Tom Hall Joyce Hammond Sharon Harding Judy Harris Ken Harris Margarite Hayward Chuck Helle Donna Hess Jerry Heuerman Tom Holloway Bob Horn Terry Hughes Fred Huss Ellen Ingmire Tom Jockimiok Catherine Jogusch Ron Jankowski Donna Jenne Karen Jenne Ron Jenne Janice Jibilian Bonnie Jones Wayne Jones Jerry Joseph Jim Joy Jim Hinman Elaine Hoag Shirley Hoffman Gail Hollabaugh Sherman Kimple Rae Knack Lee Koehl Joe Koepfer Jim Kolbe Toni Kotecki Ron Kozlowski Gordon Kruszka Harry Kujawa Mary Kurek Dale Kurth Judy Kurth Carol Kwapich Doug Lahnum Donna Lamunyon Tom Lane David Laux Mike La ux Pat Jozwiak Bill Kahl Jim Kamm Susan Karpinski Dan Kasprzak Dave Kasprzak Jeannette Kelsey Marty Kempke David Keil — Donna Mantonya Judy Marietta Ed Mauk Candy Maupin Greg Mayo Wanda Mayo Ed McComesky Carol Meiring Ruthann Menke Diane Merritt Sharon Mikowetz Bob Miller Martin Miller Nancy Miller Linda Minnick Albin Mocek Gary Mockensturm Judy Moore Marlene Moore Patricia Morrison Ronnie Morton Joel Moseley Dorene Mowery Deloris Mueller Barb Mull Patsy Myrice Dick Nage Kaye Lawhorn Hazel Ledyard Jim Leonard Judy Leppert Theresa Lewandowski Dennis Line Virginia Ling Gerald Linville Jo Ellen Long Judy Long Shelby Long Gary Lorenz Lana Lorenz Mary Lorenz Larry Lorenzen Diana Louthman Richard Machinski David Maciezewski Barbara Mack Becky Mann Sally Mann j Dan Napierala Mike Neiman Lloyd Ness Fred Nisch Tony Nowaczyk John Nowak Rosalie Nowakowski Charles Ortiz Judy Otte Margaret Oxner Carole Palmer Gene Palmer Bill Parkins Pat Paskiet Mary Jo Payne Sylbena Pirtle Theresa Pirucki Jim Polaski Fred Pomeranz Norman Poole Ken Poupard Judy Reed Jim Reifer Tom Reynolds Bob Richey Ken Reiger Frank Ritter Jon Robins Ellen Rogers Joyce Rollo David Rose Jane Rossi Dave Rowland Jim Runyan Charlotte Sadd Floyd Sass Carolyn Sawin Mike Schaub Kathy Schikora Sherryl Schreiter Marlene Schroeder Earl Schwartz Ron Schwartz Tom Schwarzkopf Wayne Scott David Selling Jim Shank Bonnie Shrider Charles Shull Jeannie Simons Marlene Slough Jack Smith Janice Smith Ken Spitulski Jerry Stamp Tom Steinke Joan Stoltz Bob Strain Marilyn Struve Edwin Swartz Elaine Swartz Darlene Vance Cecelia Van Fleet Bob Vernon Sherry Vincent Sharon Thereau Ross Thorton Virginia Tracey Kathy Tafelski Jim Tammerine Darel Taylor Dennis Taylor Harvey Traylor Audrey Troup Mory Ann Urbanski Iris Wardell Pat Warner Fred Wegener Sharon Wells Barbara Wheating Sherry Whistler Janet Whitney Fran Wielinski Anne Williams Diane Williams James Wilson Carol Wines Barbara Winters Rachell Wood Doris Worrell Karen Zeadker Pat Zientek Marilyn Zwayer a CLASS OF 1962 Leading the freshmen through a successful year were the class Beard, vice-president; John Ling, president; and Chris Miller, secretary. officers, Jackie Szady, treasurer; Alice In the fall of 1958, Rogers was greeted with the largest freshman class in the history of the school. Three hundred and twenty bewildered individuals roamed the corridors of the school in search for lockers and classrooms. It only took a few weeks before the routine of school life at Rogers was picked up by the commonly coiled greenhorns. With a good start we chose our class officers to lead us through the year. Soon the clubs caught the eyes of most of us. As loyal Rogerites we were fans at the games both home and away, we participated at pep sessions, we went to dances, and we joined clubs. As the freshman class, we were generally considered inactive, but we have gained the essential things needed to make the next three years of high school successful. 77 Joyce Abel Donald Adams ‘ Joan Ahrendt Joyce Albert Terry Ames Helen Anderson Jean Ankney Maryann Antkwiak Robert Askins Edward Augustyniak Marcia Aul Charles Axton Dennis Bailey Larry Bailey Phyllis Bak James Bare Carla Barnes Douglas Barnes Sue Bartz Janet Bastion Dennis Baumgartner Gail Baumhower John Baxter Alice Beard Yvonne Bearss Harold Bell Robert Blessing Carol Bollin Evelyn Bonfiglio Carl Borckardt Susan Borckardt Don Bowman Eric Brillhart Robert Brown Sue Brown William Brown Larry Brunner William Buchele Phyllis Buck James Buczkowski Bonny Buhler Charles Bushea Cheryl Bushey Rolland Campbell Gerald Carter Carol Cessna Sharon Cichy Judy Clark Pat Colp Ronald Cooper Larry Fleck Toni Fleischman Michelle Forrey Louis Gober Louis Gedert Sharon Gedert Marilyn Gee Paul Geiner Jeanne Geisert Tom Gerdheuser David Giest Judy Gigax Franklin Gilbert Robert Gilley Joyce Gleason Carl Glosch Diane Grabowski Toni Grieco Joe Grzechowiak Raymond Grzechowiak Thomas Grzezczak Carlene Haas Ronald Haas John Hain Sheridan Ewing Lynda Farmer Dianne Fawcett Lois Feudi Bernadette Filas Bernard Fitzgerald Doris Cousino James Craig Jerry Cramer Jean Crowley Larry Cunningham Loraine Czarnecki Sandie Dahike Carole Day Louis Dedes Nancy Deventer Emery DeVoe Larry Dion Judy Dixon Wayne Dutched Myrna Edwards David Eggenton Gary Eidson Marlene Eitner Jackie Endicott Donald Erdman Timothy Hall Barbara Hansen Gay Hardy Jack Hasty Franklin Haupricht Ron Haven Joan Heaney Bob Hejnicki Sandra Heller Luann Henry Mary Henry Sandy Henson Sandy Henson Jeannette Herbert Sharon Hersey Linda Heuerman Jerry Hicks John Hill Peggy Holsopple Kay Holtz Doug Howard Laura Huber Marlene Hubbard James Johnston Wayne Jones Margaret Jordan Mark Karoub Brenda Kauffman Kraig Keil Bob Kelly Dennis Kempke Richard Jackson Mildred Jendris Jim Jenkins Jan Kimberly Karen Knous Norman Koenigseker Bud Kolacki Jon Kopanko Mike Koschalk Sally Kosztyu John Kotecki Douglas Johnson Jerry Johnson Charles Kowalski Ken Kwapich Shirley Ladd Robert Lamlein i Linda Lee Shirley Lemie John Ling Chuck LinnenI Jon Long Richard Lorenzen Rozetto Lorenzen Karen Lovewell Jackie Lutz John Madden James MacRitchie Patrick Mahrt Chris Miller Georgia Miller Cathy Marietta Sherri Mason Charlotte Mathis Ursula Mauksch Richard Miller Bob Mockensturm Marion Moor Robert Mayer George McComesky William McCrory Albert McCusker Barry Morstain James Myles Bill Nadolny Elsie McCusker Suzanne McCusker Ray McElheney Sharon Napierala Dan Neary Bob Nichols Tom Nowakowski Judy McTigue Robert Meizo Ronald Metzger Bobbie Oaks Kathy Oborski Mike Oliszewski Carolyn Osborn Charles Packard Lee Palm John Papenfus Susan Pasche Ruth Patterson Margaret Powlaczyk Marc Pember Dan Perlmutter Julie Poison Shirley Porazgnski John Portala Colleen Prange I John Preston Peggy Puhl Carol Rasmussen Lorry Rozny Kay Ream Linda Rehklau Ken Reiner Jacquelyn Renshler Bob Schwartz Martha Schweiterman Jim Schwind Brenda Scothern Joe Scott Charles Seeman Charles Seiple Ellecia Seiple Charles Shanteau Charles Sharp Dave Sieja Andrea Smith David Smith Dennis Smith Ed Smith Karen Smith Charles Snyder Elaine Sours Robert SpenthafF Bob Spychalski Janet Stager Donna Stalder William Stalder Edward Stockmaster Tarry Stoner Dan Strance Pat Reynolds Tom Rhoades Bob Rhodes Rosemary Rhodes Arthur Richter Terry Riek Kent Rodeheaver Kenneth Roe Constance Rudniki David Russell Dennis Saba Betty Sandison David Scharlow Charles Schock Richard Schroder Andrea Schunk Jeannie Rogers Katherine Ronau Levi Rose Maryann Rousseai Ed Strohmaier Gary Swailes Deborah Swaro Jerry Swiderski Jackie Szady Carol Szcgublewski Caroline Teets Judy Trammel Sandra Turner Charles Ulch Tom Van Deilen Dorothy Van Zee K.

Here the athlete greets victory or awaits defeat. j I i j 1 I J This is the ever-sought for goal of all boys participating in athletics — They Bettered Themselves — and that ' s the best kind of victory one can wish for. As they strive to gain victories and honors, they learn to accept both the ups and downs in this type of competition. The most important men be¬ hind the scenes are the coaches — the men who guide the boys along their way. They build plays, work with them until they master the plays, then give them the confidence that they need during the game to do their best. Coaches are more accurately called builders of body and mind. At the same time they are toughening the bodies of these boys; they are molding their minds by teaching them fair play. They teach them to be leaders; they teach them to be followers; and, most im¬ portant of all, they teach them to be gentle¬ men. As the boys gain skill in athletics, they learn that victory is second in importance only to fair play. A great deal of the athlete ' s time is spent in learning and mastering the plays. After a day of studying in school, he meets his fellow sportsmen and coaches where they learn together. This is the way they go into a game — united, as a team — and re¬ main this way whether they win or lose. Sportsmanship plays an important role in athletic competition. With fair play in mind, the athlete goes into the game with this thought in mind: Sportsmanship today — brotherhood tomorrow. FRONT ROW: J. Speer, W. Filas, E. Sherer, D. MacRitchie, Walters, L.

This year ' s varsity football team was possibly the best in the history of the school. This was not proved by occupying fourth place in the GLL, but by doing the impossible three times. The first came about when Rogers upset Whitmer in a hard-fought duel, 7-0. At this time Whitmer was holding the rights as league contender for the GLL crown. The next surprise occurred when the Rams beat the oversized Bedford team by a close 13-12 victory; Bedford in previous years beat Rogers by a recognizable score. The last upset, which was the biggest, and most surprising of all, was against Clay. The Rams, chosen as the underdogs, fought a great game to tie the Eagles, 0-0. All but fourteen of these boys will be with us next year, and they will be trying to repeat these three upsets again.

This last game was against Clay, the top team in the con¬ ference. Even though the odds were against them and the Eagles were favored to win, the Rams held them to a 0—0 tie game.

The B-squod combined o fast backfield with a big line to give them the rights to a tie for second place in the GLL standings. This will ascertain a good possi¬ bility for the future of the Rams Varsity Team next season. i FRESHMEN As the Freshman football team entered the field, you could hear them yell, We ' re from Rogers — couldn ' t be prouder! The inexperienced, but fighting Freshmen ended the season with a 1—5 re¬ cord, leaving them in last place.

Later he was elected to the All-District Tournament Basketball team. Mr. Schultz is the varsity basketball coach and freshman football coach for the Rams ' squads. RAY EDWARDS Throwing Coach Ray Edwards into the showers is one of the favorite pastimes of the reserve basketball team. Mr. Edwards gained three varsity letters for basketball and baseball at Liberty High School in Wood County. Before coaching at Rogers High School, he coached eight years of freshman football and reserve basketball at Xenia High School. Mr. Edwards is the reserve basketball coach and head baseball coach for the Rams ' squads. THE KIND THAT COUNTS Coaches! Coaches! We acclaim. To Rogers High you ' ve brought great fame.

A NATIONAL CHAMPION Janet Friddell, a senior at Rogers High School, has developed a special skill in marksmanship with the rifle. This skill has been so developed in the last four years to make her a national champion. Throughout the nation, the name Janet Friddell, to many rifle sportsmen, means a young girl who is on her way to world fame as a sharpshooter. Since she began shooting the rifle, Janet has collected many honors that a girl of seventeen would never dream of. FRIDDELL Some of Janet ' s honors include: Tennessee State Women ' s Cham¬ pionship, National Women ' s Smallbore Championship, National Junior Smallbore Cham¬ pionship, National Jun¬ ior Record, Indiana State Women ' s Cham¬ pionship, and Most Out¬ standing Woman Ath¬ lete of the Year in Toledo. Ill Clubs are a vital functioning segment of the student extra-curricular activities at any high school. The organizations are basically com¬ posed of three main types: service clubs, educational clubs, and athletic clubs. The service clubs devote much of their time to the service of the buildings and stadium and for the improvement of the general school spirit. Educational clubs concentrate on pre¬ senting extra material to the student. This material usually consists of knowledge which the students wouldn ' t ordinarily learn in the classroom. Educational clubs also develop the curiosity of the student. The student will then devote his extra time to educational achievements. The third type of clubs, the athletic clubs, are mainly interested in developing the student ' s body and strengthening his atti¬ tude toward good sportsmanship. The com¬ bination of developing the student ' s attitude toward others, his intel¬ lectual status, and his athletic at¬ titude usually proves to be rewarding to the student. Besides developing the student ' s attitudes concerning student government. Each club is operated according to demo¬ cratic principles. A president, a vice- president, a secretary, and a treasurer are elected and all the rules of correct procedure are followed. In this way the student can ap¬ preciate governmental principles. Thus mak¬ ing him a capable citizen. Capable of performing tasks required for good citizen¬ ship including reaching a high social de¬ velopment; participating in civic affairs,- and possibly running for a high-ranking govern¬ mental position. This combination of de¬ veloping different facets of the student ' s education makes us realize that clubs build citizens. 113 STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS As o representative of youth, the Student Council con and must speak for the students of its school.

SOPHOMORES As a service club to the com¬ munity, os well as for social func¬ tions, the Sophomore Y-Teens was organized. In October an installation tea was held in which the mothers of the girls were honored guests. With the other Y-Teen clubs they helped fill good-will bags as a Thanksgiving project. Entertaining a group of youngsters from the Miami Child¬ ren ' s Home was another of its projects. r our school, home, and community. JUNIORS Purpose of the Junior Y-Teens is to promote co-operation among girls and to work for the welfare of the needy. Its aim was carried out in the fall by the mother and daughter relationship plan, in which all of the girls remained anonymous and adopted a needy girl and purchased neces¬ sities for her which she was un¬ able to obtain. The good-will drive was also aided by the juniors. FRESHMEN As a part of the world-wide or¬ ganization, the Freshman Y-Teens strive to be both a service club i and a guidance club for young girls. They were initiated into the club by the Senior Y-Teen group earlier this year. In the past year they have prepared themselves to be better citizens. FRONT ROW: J. Strohmaier, representative; D.

Highlights of the year ' s activities included the annual Saturnalia Festival in December, and the annual Roman Banquet held during the Ides of March as a climax to the ob¬ servation of the nation wide Latin Week. The Rogers ' League entertained other Lucas County chapters with an evening meeting featuring Ohio J.C.L. President, Richard Willis Black, as speaker who told of his experi¬ ences while attending school in Italy. Once a student has taken Latin he automatically becomes a member of the organization for the rest of his years in high school; this the reason for the club ' s large membership. 123 JUNIOR-SENIOR GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION FRONT ROW: Sue Seeman, treasurer; Mary Gigax, vice-president; Marilyn Anderson, president; Sue Brookhart, secretary; and Deb¬ bie Boor, scrapbook chairman.

It not only promotes knowledge of specific games but also is enjoyed in the process. Numerous fund-raising functions are held throughout the year highlighted by the annual GAA Valentine Dance, which was opened to the public for the first time this year. Helping teachers, leading gym classes, refereeing games, and grading tests for Mrs. Patsy Tadlock and Mrs. Nancy Martin were just some of the duties these girls carried out during the year. These juniors and seniors must be active members of GAA before they can be considered for this position. GYM LEADERS 125 THE ROGERIAN Ten, twenty, or thirty years from their last day in school, one of the graduate ' s only remaining prizes from their high school days is the school yearbook. Designed as an album that is a real memory book, the annual reflects the trials and tributes, the work, enjoyment, and the everyday life of the student body. Long days, long nights, and a lot of sweat go into the making of this annual miracle. Students often enter the publication class with little knowl¬ edge of what lies ahead, but as the year and the work progress, the yearbook slowly takes shape — until that final day when the last page is finished and the end product is handed to the students as a history and a tribute to the year.

Jim Rawlins Drum Major Much credit is due to the Band, one of the active or¬ ganizations at Rogers. It has participated at all pep rallies and football games to boost the school spirit. The band sent four players to All-Ohio Boys ' Band last summer; placed a trumpet player in regional or¬ chestra; gave grade school concerts; made ex¬ change concerts with other schools; and played at high school and grade school commencements. Among its fund raising activities, a winter concert and candy sale were held to close the school year.

During the Thanksgiving season the chorus presented a pro¬ gram which intensified the season by inspiring us to give thanks. The sacredness of Christmas was also symbolized through the chorus ' s singing of Christ¬ mas carols which were broadcast to the school over the public address system. As March approached, we found the chorus eagerly preparing themselves for their Easter program. Their main project for the year was the selling of candy for choir robes. On February 9 the Annual Lucas County Choral Festi¬ val was held at Rogers with all area high school choruses in attendance.

According to Daniel Webster, a feature is a striking or characteristic attribute; a trait that arouses the interest. This is what a features section plans to do — arouse the interest of Rogerites. The Rogerian features try to cap¬ ture all the important events during the school year pertaining to social functions, which entertain the student body at Rogers. Most of these important events have been pictured throughout the features section. These pictures show the fun and good times had by the student body. Many of these re- etched activities will recall happy occasions and bring lasting memories to all those who have participated. Recalling past memories such as dances, school plays, ' 58 Homecom¬ ing, and our prized possession. Ram¬ bunctious, are the activities to which the features section has been devoted, order to get a student body bet¬ ter acquainted there is no finer way than through social func¬ tions. Rogers students have accomplished this task very well. If it weren ' t for the student friendliness and co¬ operation, this school would be all work and no, play. But anyone can plainly see that Rogers has an excellent entertainment pro¬ gram. These functions include the student body as a whole with everyone working to¬ gether. Glancing through the next few pages will tell the Rogers students and anyone else who looks through this book, what a fine school we have at Rogers High School. Rogerites will always remember these special occasions and perhaps the occasions will become traditional, but just looking through the following pages will certainly re¬ call many happy moments and memories.

After being escorted onto the field, Marilyn was presented with a bouquet of red roses by Powell Kingsley and Ed Sherer,- the co-captains of the football team. Lynne Alexander, the 1957 homecoming queen, pre¬ sented Marilyn with a crown bought by the senior class. Reigning as senior attendant was Mary Gigax, followed by junior attendant Judy Snow. Sophomore attendant was Judy Long and freshman attendant was Bobbie Oaks. Queen Marilyn reigned at the homecoming dance. 141 Joseph Kesserling ' s Arsenic and Old Lace, this year ' s school play, was given November 21 and 22. As evidenced by the filled auditorium both nights, the play was a success. Credit for this success is given to Miss Regina Aboohamad, in¬ structor of public speakiing and dramatics, and the entire play cast and crew. Because of the fav¬ orable outcome of the play, another production was planned for the spring. ' And you — Aunt Abbie, just sign here.

I KHftiivfiffjWHI d Many of the typical students who use the library as a place of learning are Kath¬ ryn Carl, Frank Ritter, Jerry Zeman, and Ronald Jankow¬ ski. BOOK FAIR In an effort to introduce more books on different levels to the students and teachers of Adams Township schools, the library held its first book fair. This event took place during the week of November 13—19, when more than 500 books were displayed in a colorful array around the library room. Approximately 500 parents and friends wandered in and out of the library during the exhibition to browse through the books. The collection was also displayed at an art conference held for the Lucas County teachers. Since the school library reflects the reading habits of its patrons, the patrons should determine what is in a school library. The Sarah M. Perry Room of Rogers High School has but one aim, to get the right book and the right student together. 146 RAMBUNCTIOUS Rogers Rams are the proud possessors of a real, living and lively mascot, Rambunctious. Cheers reverberated from the stadium as the Rogers mascot strutted onto the football field during the half¬ time ceremonies. In the fall of 1956, just before Rogers High first opened its doors, the idea of having a living mascot arose in the heads of entering students. With a bit of inquiring, their wish was fulfilled. The sponsor for their idea was Joseph ' s Super Market. Now, at the beginning of football games and at halftime, when the little white ram with a red blanket and large horns gallops onto the field, the Rogers fans cheer to the spirit of Rogers. Rambunctious must also have a keeper. This year and the past year Joan Stoltz has been fulfilling the duty, with the assistance of Connie Kiel. OUR MASCOT, RAMBUNCTIOUS EVERGREEN ENCHANTMENT Evergreen Enchantment was the title given to the Christmas dance, sponsored by the Student Council. This affair was a great success, with the crowning of a queen from each school club as a highlight of the event. Diane Napierala was crowned Student Council queen, and she also reigned as queen over all the other representa¬ tives. Dancing in the dark. ABOVE: Front: Linda Merce, Sandy Ogren, and Judy Eberhardt.

Refreshments were received with great enthusiasm. 148 If CUPID CAPERS It was a turn-about ' affair as the GAA sponsored its annual semi-formal dance. The members of GAA presented a fine evening, and the gentle¬ men reigned over the dance. A senior boy was voted to reign as king. Other members of the evening ' s royalty were the class dukes who were voted on by those attending the dance. Some decided to sit this one out. The king and his court — Senior Duke, Ron Stork; Junior Duke, Ken Greene; Sophomore Duke, Ed McComesky; Freshman Duke, John Ling, and King Ed Sherer. Memories are made of this. 149 y dverhsin Advertising is the life of trade and the essence of public contact. Advertising is a form of selling. Its purpose is to persuade people to buy goods or services, or to accept a point of view. Ad¬ vertising is a public and paid-for way of telling or notifying people about a product, a service, or an idea. Advertising messages are carried to large audiences by various devices. These messages influence people in many ways. They tell people what prod¬ ucts or services are available to meet their needs, express new and different ideas, cause larger quantities to be sold, and raise our standing of living by constantly suggest¬ ing improvement. They are a vital force in our economical life and definitely increase business. We have a form of advertising in our own school. The trophies in our showcase help to advertise our success in sports. Some of the displays are pub¬ licity for vari- our dances. Quite a few of the showcases publicize the ideas and progress of some of the clubs helping to ex¬ plain a little bit about them. Yes, we should realize that these showcases are part of our emotions and naturally influence us. The best advertising contains ideas that ap¬ peal to the individual ' s self-interest. They arouse curiosity, and most probably will offer news in some shape or form. Effective advertising must make us feel that we will benefit from its services, products, or points of view. This is why a good advertisement must attract attention, create a certain de¬ sire, arouse a definite interest, and impel action.

A body of people living in the same place under the same law; hence, an assemblage of animals or plants living in a common home under similar circumstances. 2. Society at large; the public, or people in general; restrictedly, the people of a particular place or region; hence, the region itself. 3. Joint ownership or participation; as a community of good. 4. Common character; likeness.” Webster had a lot of good ideas about a Community. But we like the last part of his description best of all. We like to think that a com¬ munity is a lot of people — people who have the same common goals — people who will work together to achieve a common purpose. At Willys we are dedicated to helping wherever and whenever we can to bring about a successful conclusion to anything attempted in the best interests of our Community — Toledo.
