Ded ca{ cn tie of the Annual Staff surreptitiously dedicate the RO-HI-AN to our advisor MISS LOOMS in appreciation of her years of devoted, untiring service to our school. Any task worth doing is worth doing as well ns one knows how. I am sure that the annual staff and advisors have followed this philosophy in giving you an outstanding annual. They have tried, in picture and story, to depict the efforts of the people of this community, of the board of education, the faculty, and students in promoting a high school with a well-rounded program that would train its students for as complete an adjustment to life as possible. We hope that everyone will make the fullest use of these opportunities now. It is our wish that you can look back with satisfaction and pleasure on the time you spent in Rogue River High. It appears most fitting and necessary that we now dedicate ourselves to the task of acquiring understanding and tolerance for cur neighbors whether they be next door, or in a foreign land, regardless of creed or color, in order that we may fulfill our part in promoting happiness, security, and peace the world over.

Talent Show Smoker Senior skip days Spring Concert State Track Meet Junior-Senior Banquet Baccalaureate Civic Club Luncheon for graduating class Graduation In spite of difficulties concerning the printing of the annual, the staff went ahead and began to assemble the material. A conglomeration of pictures, glue bottles, paper cutters, and typewriters decorated the place, but order and system finally emerged from chaos when the first pages were sent away to be printed. Virginia Loomis organized the work and arranged for the picture-taking. Lorraine Burkett, editor, spent many hours with her head drooped over a page wondering whether the picture would look better a little tipsy or left straight. Pat Hall found herself typing and re-typing pages in an effort to turn in a page without errors. Jean Nightingale and Bobby Nixon created some highly original art work. Carolyn Gelvin and Betty Clark found that collecting ads was no small chore after hours of trekking Rogue River and Grants Pass sidewalks. Richard Stockman wielded the paper cutter and he, Qwynne Nichols, and Mrs. LeRoy turned a helping hand where-ever it was needed. Finally the last page was off. With a sigh of relief, ten people felt much wiser about what it takes to make an annual The Rogue Record won the Eric W. Allen cup as the best bi-weekly or weekly mimeographed high school paper issued in Oregon this year. Winning this award was an outstanding achievement, considering the size of the school and the number of schools competing. Under the advisorship of Mrs. Altha LeRoy, a temporary staff was chosen for the first issue but was changed later for the rest of the year. Clarence Zaitz was appointed editor-in-chief. The rest of the staff consisted of Pat Hall and Jean Kile, features and grade news editors; Betty Boulter, stencil artist; Bebe Fields, typist; Bill Bean, sports editor; Martin Jones, copyreader; Ray Hart, circulation manager and reporter. On December 5 and 6 Clarence Zaitz,Owynne Nichols and Mrs. LeRoy traveled to the University of Oregon to participate in the annual Oregon High School Press Conference. On March 17 the staff was interviewed over radio station KYJC, the Medford Mail Tribune station. A phonograph record was made of the broadcast. After the broadcast the class visited the Tribune office and watched the various steps in the production of a daily newspaper. On April 23 and 2k the high school chorus attended the Southern Oregon Music Festival in Ashland to sing with a six-hundred voice chorus composed of songsters from the Southern Oregon high schools. The second day of the meet the Rogue River chorus broadcast over station KWIN while performing for the judges. Many favorable comments were received including the adjudicator’s criticism which stated that the group and the school were to be commended for having such a good choir in a small school. Throughout the year, trios and double quartets from the chorus ranks were called upon to participate in school the community programs. The first public arpearance of the group was made at the senior play, Ghost Wanted . At Christmas they combined with the seventh and eighth grade singers to form a candlelight procession. With the performance of a group of numbers at the Spring Concert, the chorus’ work for the year reached its peak. Following the concert, the group finished the year by singing for Baccalaureate and Graduation. e First Rows Gwynne Nichols, Beverly Johnson, Evelyn White, Nancy Hoover, Billy Snow, John Paisley, Jack Stewart, Jeannine Sauer, Shirley Smith, Mara Lee Raber, Joan Ford, Lowell Snelling.

Taking part in practically every school function,the Rogue River High School Band, under the direction of Miss Virginia Loomis, is a very active organization. In addition to school activities they are frequently called upon to take part in community programs. The band turned out in uniform for football and basketball games and finished the game season by playing two nights at the county ,TB basketball tournament in Eagle Point. They furnished music for both the Junior and senior class plays. On March 13th a clarinet quartet composed of Lorraine Burkett, Betty Clark, June Diess and Gene Davison went to Klamath Falls to take part in an Ensemble Contest. Members of the band attended the Southern Oregon Music Festival held at the Ashland College on April 23rd and 2l±th. Here they played in the large massed band made up of bandsmen from the Southern Oregon District. Another busy season was climaxed by the annual Spring Concert in May which affords the highlight of the band's performance for the year. Chemisiru dV 't s .et c° V o e Discovering the plane facts.

FOOT The Rogue River football team, coached by Millard Webb, came through the season undefeated in county competition, thereby winning the county B championship. This makes the first football championship garnered by the Rogu,es since 1938. The Chieftains went through the vigorous season with only one injury. The Chieftains started the season with a big war whoop, thrumping Talent 50-6 on the Rogue field and followed it up by running over Eagle Point 52-12 the next week on the Eagles' field. With competition getting tougher, the Chiefs beat St. Mary's of Medford 38-8 in a raid-season thriller. The following week the Rogues eked out a victory over Phoenix in a slow contest on the Pirates' field. Snapping out of their scoring slump, our team came back to score a decisive victory over Prospect by a 62-32 margin. In the final conference game the Chieftains scored at will to beat Gold Hill 53-6. Winning the county championship, the Rogues were automatically district five champions. The week following the Gold Hill game, the Chieftains took Dufur, district seven champions, whipping them with ease 50-0, in a quarter-final tilt. Traveling to Pendleton, the team played Pilot Rock for the chance to play for the state championship. The game was hard fought, clear., and fast with the Chieftains fighting to the final whistle only to come out on the short end of the 28-20 score.

Starting Line Up: Richard Stockman, Bill Bean, Gene Depuy, Pete Furrier, Lee Wales. The Rogue quintet has a record of which Rogue River High is justifiably proud. Coming through this conference season undefeated, they annexed the Jackson county B championship for the fourth year in a row. Downing opposition right and left, the Chieftains made a clean sweep of the county, defeating each team in the county once and trouncing five of the teams twice. Following the county conference Fames, the Rogues entered the county tournament at Eagle Point, the winner of which had the right to play the winner of the other half of District five. The team won the first two games of the tournament easily, then hit a stumbling block when they encountered Jacksonville in the final game. In a fast, clean contest which was nip and tuck until the final quarter,Jacksonville nosed the team into second place in the tournament. A'ith a short rest, the Chieftains went to S.O.C.E. invitational tournament where they took second place, losing out to Phoenix 30-32.
