ill! i■ ..••v.v ! . • .•WAV ■y.v.v.v .y. • FOREWARD This year v c wanted to continue to record the interesting events thet occurred in Rolling Preirie High School. One way to record events is to take movies. V c werc unable to do this so Joan Buss suggested the movies as a thomc for this year's annual. At times it was hard to put the pupils in the roles of movie stars. Though wc have lots of talent and many Garbos and Gables and even Bob Hopes horo at Rolling, we also have many extras . Nevertheless, wc found a part for everyone, and wo have tried to record the events of this year as we saw them. V c wish to thank everyone who helped moke this year's annual. TO YOU Y E DEDICATE In token of our appreciation for the great work you are doing, the annual staff of Rolling Prairie High School dedicate this hook to you on behalf of the Senior Class.

Since Tim Barnes and James Hicks are so short that its _oin to be a handicap for then; in the future, Jane leaves some of her height to. them. In several years ve expect to meet Jane as Mrs. Victor Pa el with a couple youngsters to tie her down. d A short, stubby yirl by the name oi Rosemary Barnes came to R. F. b. S. v hen she was a freshman. Iial Schrceder was her le..din , man in her sophomore and first hall of the junior yeir. In the last half of the junior and senior years she co-starred wit-many. ?,nat happened Hal’ Her largest role was in the junior play. Rosemary is hind enough to leave some of her shyness to Jloria 'irbholtz. She .will some day be the lat, ;ray haireu lad;r in charge of an orphan's home. 3 Hailin • us from 3an Fernando, California, comes Iris 3 her better known' as to all but l!r. Post. In her sophomore and junior years she starreu v ith Robert Riley, ’.hen she reached her senior year she starred with many of our lc.-uinj men. II you see Irene Koziol become very friendly all o. a sudden you Laov it's because Kidje has willed some of her friendly personality to her. ben, if you're ever in need of a rivate nurse call on Midwe because she is to be .a private nurse for non onlv. In our freshman yeur Victor Brewer joined our group from Helena. Le is known as Vic' to all of us. Rosemary Barnes and Dorothy EcGuire v ore his leading interests in the freshman year. In his iunior and senior years ho v,as Evelyn Panel’s leading man. his most popular roles wore in the junior- and senior plays, he also played on the basket ball team even though he is so short, Girls beware of what Fete Katsianis says from now on, because Vic wills him his ability to give pretty love speeches. Since Vic is the woman's man we think he will make a second Clc.rk Gable. 5 Starting in the iirst grade here, halter Burs has gone through to his senior year. Tirades never cease! In his-four years in our group he starred with many girls, _oinj steady with ne .rly all of them in school, halt has ’ een on the b shot ball team for four years, halter wills his ability to take the night life and the women to Richard Turnow. Be careful Richard. Some time in the future years when you walk into a night club you will see halt behind the bar if you can _,et through all the girls swarming around him. 6 Rolling Prairie has put up with Raymond Sutler for twelve years. They've sure had a job. Ray tried to start with all the girls in his four years but since he is a little bashful he never _ot very far. h’o'rc going to give him credit for tryin at least. lie played his major roles in the junior and senior plays. In his senior year he managed the basket ball team. Not a bad job, Ray! Raymond has been in three of our oratorical contests and won first place in his junior ye r. Ray wills his ability to get along with people to hdwin Buell, he prophecy that Ray will _;et married six times if he jots married once. 7 Loi3 Carpenter has had to stay hero lor twelve years. In her four years sru starred with person from our neighboring film colony, Galena. She had a singing role in the junior play. Lois ’. ills some of her giggling to Trances Killer, hhen you 10119 your children to school in later years their teach will be Miss Lois Carpenter. 8 Coming from Galons in her fro slim an year was Emma Davis. Emma is one-third of a group of three girls who stick very close together. They should be know as the Threo Musketeers. She has never played a leading part but we arc sure if chc were put in the soot light she could out-act anyone. Emma wills her ability to keep her love affairs a secret to Dorothy Reese. In several years you will see in the paper where Emma has resigned her position as a typist to settle uov n to married life. 9 To our school come Carrol Dawson from Wills township as a freshman. She played minor parts with our own stars but in her junior year she- mot one of our 1940 alumnus, Anton Stark, and lias played the leading part with him ever since. She had parts in the junior and senior plays and w .s in one of our oratorical contests. Carrol wills some of her ability to handle tho men to Gcor_i,.na linger but not all because she's going to need some herself. Don't be surprised when you read in tho paper a few years from nov; where Mr. and Mrs. Anton Stark arc the proud parents of a seven pound baby boy. 10 Betty Kendrichs has been with us since her freshman year. In her junior year she starred with Bill Drumn from one of our neighboring film colonies. In her senior year she has kept her leading men a secret. Don't you trust him, Betty? I guess Betty prefers the men from out of town. How if you read where Eloise Brown has been arrested for speeding it is because Betty 'wills her ability to drive a car. 7 Len you're taking your girl out and can't drive your ovai car because of lack of tires, don't fail to call the J. E. Hendricks Cab Company and ask for Betty as your personal driver. 11 Wo'vo had to put up with Virginia Eov itt since she v as in the third grade. It hasn't been hard work because she has such a pleasing personality. Virginia and Lee Meyers were co-starring with each other in their ju ior year but were rather secret about it. her le dinman now comes lrom the Mill Creek film coliny. Junior ’.heath rook is being willed Virginia's ability to et along with other people. Several years from now when you big business men need your typing done, just call Virginia Hewitt, the Notary Public. 112 Coding to R. F. K. S. From LaPorte in her freshman year v s Lydia :-u._e. A very quiet yorson was she in her beginning high school career. V.hen she was a senior she co-starred with one of our 1941 alumnus, Ray k'cCarty. Lydia had starred in the junior and senior plays. She has been the alto section of the senior class trio. Helen Paxton will be seen driving around Sunday afternoons because Lydia wills her Sunday afternoon drives to her. Put your application in early if you would like Lydia for your private secretary. She might not be a blond but she sure can type I 13 Another one that has gone to Rolling for twelve years is Beverly Jones. ‘Sail ’ to you. She co-starred with Arthur Brewer in her freshman year. After that she co-starred with many of our male characters. Sail’ had a role in the junior play and has been in three of our oratorical contests. If you see Margie Fritzon naking eyes at the freshman boys that’s because Sally wills her ability to yet along with them so well. If Sally doesn't give up her nursing profession to get married, she is going to make a good private nurse. 14 Coming to Rolling Prairie High School from Wills township is Donna !!ao Keller. Donna has co-3tarred with many of the boys from our own film colony. Donna starred in the junior and senior plays. She has the first soprano part in the senior trio. If you hear Ruth DoPoy singing around school don't think anything about it because Donna has willed Ruth her ability to sing. How people when your children are old cnoujh to talk, send them to Madam Donna Keller for singing lessons. She’ll make singers of them or else I 15 Leatrice (Lea) Lewollan has boon with us since her first grade. She entered our group when a freshman. Lea has always gone with boys from other colonies, always making a good hit. She played roles in the junior and senior plays. In her senior year Leatrice was one of our veil leader. They won a megephone for being tho be3t yell loaders in the country. IJext year If you sec Emily Hoytka as yell leader don't be surprised because Lea wills her yol leading ability to her. Lea is a good dancer and ■ think she will come day be a second Carmen Merand? Future scienti sts Gamblers or Loafers?

Margie to her friends. Her first year here, she starred with a senior, Theo Ilnicklebein in a big role. In her junior year she again starred in a big role with Walt Duss, and Paul Godsay. In her 3ophornore year she was in the oratorical and in her senior year she had a part in the senior play. In her senior year she starred in a very big role with Jack Hofer. Margie wills her ability to love'en and leave'em to Jean Hull. Some day Margie will be the chief operator of the telephone company under the name of Mrs. _____ with one of her children as an operator. 17 One of the few going to Rolling Prairie for 12 years is Dorothy McGuire, better known as Dot . In her freshman year she starred with Vic Brewer. Dot starred in our junior and senior plays. She is the second soprano in the senior trio. In her senior year Dot has done some roles with Lester Underv ood. From now on Dean Uallace will be working in the ten cent store on Saturday because Dot wills him her job behind the hosiery counter. In later years, girls, when you go to the old ladies home, the president will be Dot McGuire. 18 Eleanor Meyers entered R. P. II. S. from the Galena film colony as a fresliman. Out of her four years here, she has spent two years playing a big role with Hank?? from Michigan City. Eleanor like several other maidens from Galena, has been the quiet typo and never took very many roles in our activities. If Lob Ebol suddenly becomes a different nan, don't be alarmed, it's only because Eleanor has willed him her quiet and sweet personality. ’Then the big business men in the future years have a need for advertising they may call the E. Meyers Commerical Artists Studio. 19 Coning to the R. P. II. S. film colony, in his freshman year was Lee Meyers. Lee has been the rather bashful type in his high school career. As was stated in a previous history, Lee had a crush on one of our own film stars, Virginia Hewitt, in his sophomore and junior years but this soon ended. Lee Meyers wills some of his bashfulncss to Ruth Nickerson. One of the leading farmers from Galena township in the future years will be Mr. Lee Meyers. .0 Galena lost another one oi her Killer came to Rollin__ Prairie Eiyh year. Duriny all her years leadin man, Forrest Sayles. play in the junior year.

Forrest Sayles, one leadin' citizens of Pinhook. 21 Twelve years ayo Howard Hilljr entered the Rolling Prairie School, lie joined Our resent Gany in his ninth year. Howard had a lcadiny part in the senior play and has been in other activities. Howard never had any larre leads with any of our film actresses until his senior year when he really became acquainted with Rosemary Barnes and Harriet Walton. Last year Paul Godsey willed Howard his ways with the yirls' , so since Howard has made u.se of this he now wills it to Calvin Wolfe and Richard Williams. Victor Payel come to R. P. E. S. from Galena township film colony in his freshman year. Vic never cared much for the actressess from our film colony until the latter part of his junior year when he met Jane Albertson ana he has continned to take the leaainy part with her ever since. For some reason unknown to us Vic never took part in our plays. Sinco Jane is willin' some of her heiyht, we think Vic should will some of his to Joyce Sayles and Mary Blade chi so he can be the- same heiyht as Jane, if crooked politicians don’t- defeat him, we think Vic will some day be the governor of Indiana. 23 Another one of our film stars who has yone to R. P. II. S. for twelve years is Anna Lou Reese. Anna Lou is another ono of our more quiet stars. In her four years she has left the males alone so the other yirls could have them, -he had a part in the junior play, ’.. hen you coo Marjorie McKeokaii yettin alony nicely with Mr. Isom you’ll know it’s becaus Anna Lou wills her the ability to do so. In a fev. years you will be surprised to road in the paj where Hr. and Mrs. Joseph Reese announce enya_emcnt and cominy marriaye of their dauyhter Freddie Bartholomew of Hollywood, California. w4 Ever since he v es a little boy in the first grade, Forrest Sayles has attended Rolling Prairie School. Like the others he started his film career when a freshman. During his four years ho has starred with only one actress, Betty Miller. By settling down to one in the start v;e think it has saved hin a lot of trouble. Dutch wills some of his temperament which joes with his red hair to Eleanor 7 erner. In a few years you will read in the paper about Mr. Forrest Sayles establishing a furnace corporation in the city of Pinhook. 35 Along with many more of our stars Harold Schroeder started here in the first grade. He joined our group when a small boy in the ninth grade. In his four years he has starred with only a few ol our stars In his senior year he played a large role with Ruth Nickerson. He had a part in the senior play in which he used his own natural abilities. Harold wishes to will his name Schroeder'1 to June Prestin who v;e think will appreciate it in a few years. In a short time you will notice in headlines v;here film producer, Harold Schroeder, has taken Hedy LaMarr to dinner at Ciro's. 36 Joining our group from LaPortc High School as a senior was Harold Spaid. Since we haven't known him long we can't cay much about his career. In his senior year he starred with Phylis Riley. He played a good and a comical part in our senior play. He wills his way to get along with people to Lester Underwood . and Charles Wilson. In a few years you will learn that Harold Spaid has won the Indianapolis Speed ;ay Races. 27 When Martin Stark started hero he was a small boy in the first grade. He joined our group when a bashful freshman. In his four years he has left most of our stars alone. In his senior year he played a small part with Jean Hull. He stars more with girls of the roller-skating type. He took parts in our junior and senior plays. Martin has been one who has especially missed our former teacher, Mi3s Ya3t. Martin wills his extreme bashfulness and ability to blush so easily to Lawrence Ostroski and Stanley Small. In a few years you will notice in your local newspaper where the Barnum and Bailey Circus is under the now' management of M. F. Stark. Lois Upp entered our group as a freshman. She had her grammar school training in the Mill Creek School. During her four years she has starred in a loading role with an alumni, Harold Boniface. In her senior year she made it known that she would spend nor future with him. Lois wishes to give some of her athletic ability to Adeline Sabones, Eileen Collins, and Paul Kulasa. In the near future one may read in the society column about Miss Lois Upp being wed to Harold 3oniface. Attending school for twelve years in Rolling Prairie was Ecella Williams. Ecella entered our group when a freshman. Ecella stars with actors from other film colonies. Due to her shyness she has never taken parts in many of our activities. Ecella would like to will her way to get along with the army boys to Delores Vemilyer and Mary Flitter. Some day Ecella will be a housewife living in the country with at lec.i.t four children. Another girl who left Galena and started here in her ninth year was Nellie Wondergem. Nellie has starred mainly with actors from other colonies. Three Oaks, Michigan seoms to have her type of men. Due to this she has never taken much interest in school activities. Nellie wills her ability to attract the senior boys to Jane Tower, Marion Schriebcr end Minnie Rohlandor. Nellie is another one who will some day be a housewife as she doesn’t at all believe in old molds. 20 29 30 Junior Snaps We three Peek-a-boo I Richard Tarnow and Edwin Buell Archie Junior Pow-wow Pals Emily Believe it and or not, Paul Juniorsi Skid Emily Two Not and Marjories all Francis and there Cal Helen Future Junior Ruth Bookkeepers Damsels Mary Junior five Junior Officers JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 5, 1939, a group of forty-seven career-seeking students cane to the movie studio of Rolling Prairie School. We all succeeded in passing the screen test. The first year we organized a cast for our showing and held a party at the country home of Mr. Howard Lute. The director of our troupe was Lester Lee Underwood; his assistant. Dean Wallace; the financial recorder, Robert Loci; and the star reporter, Mary Louise Flitter. Mr. Howard Lute was our producer. Also in this year Loretta Ahern, Helen Bus3,. Mary Patricia Johnson, Mary Kathryn Ott, Janes Mayo, Glen Foster, and Join Surowiec left our group to go to other studios that offered better opportunities. Mary Louise Flitter, Jane Tower, Lester Underwood an Emily Motyka were musically inclined and played in the studio orchestra. The songsters of this group were featured in a glee club, and we had members in the Oratorical Contest. Wo completed our first year in the movie world with honors. We all looked forward to our next year. The second year of our career life we were doing extra parts in the movie world. Miss Helen Yast as surged the role of our director, and Richard Tamow, Lester Lee Underwood, Robert Ebcl, and Dean Wallace had the responsibilities of keeping order, keeping our box oliice records, and keeping an account of our income. The brilliant lights and longer roles caused Henry Kulrsa and Edward Kenny to leave us. W wore very glad to welcome the following new members into our circle, Eleanorc Werner, Georgiunnn Hagor, and Calvin Wolfe from Laportc and Lois Proud from Kingsbury. JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY (con� t.) In this year we held a meeting at the school fcr our circle of friends. The evening was passed in dan cing and later we all enjoyed refreshments. The sane stars v ere members of the band and orchestra with Jean Hull, Eloise Brown, Ruth DePoy, and Marjorie Fritizen joining our musical group. In their spare time Jane Tower and Emily Lotyka gave dramatic readings and Jean Hull, Loi3 Proud, and Ruth DePoy entertained us with humorous ones. Our third year in ... stardom proved to be a very busy one. Richard Tarnow again took his place at the head of the group with three new advisors. Joyce Sayl’es was to- assist him in the job of advising the group, Calvin V olfe kept, our financial problems corrected, and Dorothy Reese kept our records. Mr. Cleo Isom assumed the responsibility of being o ;r chief advisor and director. In September we held a party at the LaPortc Roller Rink. Many celebrities attended this gathering. The next month a photographer took pictures of our dayfs routine and showed the pictures to a large audience. The main production of our three years was the picture, China Boy, This show was the spring hit of the year and many of the cast gained popularity for their fine acting. During this year we were very sorry to loose the companionship of Owen Erickson, Lester Zellars, Loi3 Proud, and Orville Kepplin. To replace these friends we welcomed Eileen Collins,. Adeline Saboncs, and Delores Vcrmilyor to our circle. Again wc were well represented in both humorous and dramatic readings In the annual Oratorical Contest. V e had stars in the glee club, band, and orchestra . JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY (con’t.) The most important feature of the year was the Junior-Senior Reception. The understudies held a reception for the stars and everyone had a wonderful time. We completed three-fourths of our roles as actors and actresses in Rolling Prairie High School and hope to make our final roles a greater success.

'■■e elected Joan 3uss to lead our group of '’green horns , June Reeseas Joan's helper, Evelyn Pa el in charge of our money, and Dorothy Schroeder in charge of our records, on the Rolling Prairie iovic Lot. Before long three nev; members joined our movie colony, making our group 41 members. They were Dorothy Duvall from Union Township, Bernice Kessler from Kingsbury, and Jerry Kouscr from Huntington Indiana. y e finally succeeded in climbing one fourthof our rungs up our ladder towards graduation. On September 5, 1941, wc decided to continue our careers. This time, much to our happiness we discovered we had been promoted to extras in our Log movie colony. Y e took due deliberation and finally decided to have Barbara Shead as our director, Joe Chlupacek our assistant director, Evelyn Fagcl in charge of our money, and Dorothy Duvall in charge o our records. We were very sad to discover that some of our members of the year before had gone other movie lots, but we brightened considerably when we discovered several new colonists. The extras who had left us were Herjcry Caler and Darlcn _ Horner, who went to Michigan City. Among our new colonists were Jack Kirkhan from La iortv, ’.Valter Sabonts from-Ilanmond, Loocauia Van Houtcn, from Chicago, Tom Raistrik from Peoria, 111 -inois and Robert V -mard from Indianapolis. Jeanne Rootes joined us in November but left coon after. Then, Thelma Letter joined our group of extras December. Later this year va were to lose four good extras .

BASEBALL When baseball season rolled around this year the Bulldogs had high hopes of obtaining the championship again held by the Bulldogs for the past two years in the county. Although seven of the first nine graduated the previous year, the Bulldogs, as usual, came up with a powerful ball team. Everything went smoothly for the first four ball games with our Bulldogs winning easily. But in their last g8me of the season, they met their defeat. Thoy did not win the championship, but everyone knows that the Rolling Prairie Bulldogs hsd e good season and a great team. The team members were as follows: Victor Pagel, left field; Forrest Savles, center field; Stan Small, right field; Calvin Woifc, third base; Lester Underwood, shortstop; Martin Stark, second base; Walter Buss, first base; and Victor Brewer, the catcher. Harold Schroeder pitched all the games for the Bulldogs . The : record of the games arc as follows: WE THEY September 5 Union Twp.

But before long everyone had a different idea. The season record was 15 wins and 6 losses. The Bulldogs were runners-up in the county tournament and were tied for first place in the county conference. In the sectional tournament, the Bulldogs lost their first game to Michigan City, who went on to win the tournament. The starting five who starred in most of the games were, as follows: Victor Brewer, Harold Schrooder, Walter Buss, Calvin Wolfe, 8nd Victor Pagel.

It sure seems dumb. My goodness I They take a stick and run real hard with it about so far, and then they give it to some one else. Nov if they run so hard with the stick, then why do th.y give it to some one else? Of all the crazy ideas. They call that a relay. If it's a relay, then why don't they lay do van. And such a hard job as it seems for them to throw that little ball, when they start to throw it,they groan, grunt, and puff away. Then, when they do throw it, it doesn’t go very far. It's not as big as a basketball and we girls could throw a basketball twice as far a3 they throw that little ball. And how they don't dressl They get out there in their underwear, we'll admit they have pretty knees when they start, but when they get done you should see them. They're not nearly so pretty then. Nowadays they sure have some ideas about dress. Harold Schroedcr and Walt Buss are always trying to outdo the other one. Vic Brewer never gets very high in the air because he's too close to the ground when he s tar ts. and when they run, v hy do they have short fences in the way? ' hy doesn't Mr. Isom move those fences before it starts? He ought to know that one of those clumsy boys may break his neck. And those foolish boys instead of going around them they jump over them. They might at least crawl through that big hole in the middle. And that fish pole they run and jump with -------- we don't 3ee any sense to it. That's the whackiest thing of all. Me always thought they used fish poles to fish with. Well, anyhow, they must get something out of i Maybe v e will understand it 3ome day.

TRIP TO WASHINGTON On the evening of October 20, a representative group of our film colony including, Walter Buss, Victor Brewer, Lydia Huge, Betty Miller, and Carrol Pawson met at Wellsboro to leave for a short vacation trip, given to them by the Herald Argus, to Washington, D. C. Several friends and parents were there to see them off. Everyone stood around anxiously waiting for the train Finally, after waiting quite awhile they heard the choo choo coming round the bend. But goodness 3akesi it kept on going and whirzed on by. Then everyone was disappointed. The train had gone or. without them. But wait a minute. Glory be. Here comes another one. It's slowing down. Yes, this was it. The seni The first thing they did, was cat as anxiet had given them a good appetite. Then Walt began to get sleepy, and in trying to swipe a pillow got caught. After some v ords with the railroad agent, everything was settled, hut Walt still didn't get the pillow. TRIP TO WASHINGTON (cent.) About one o’clock some of the girls settled down, but some of them jabbered on through the night. At three o'clock everyone was awakened by Mrs. Moyer. This was surely bad on Carrol's beauty sleep. At eight o'clock they arrived in Washington and missed seeing the President by fifteen minutes, just the amount the train was late. The first morning they journeyed out to the Treasury Building, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Washington Monument, and the Smithsonian Institute. That afternoon they journeyed out to the very beautiful home of George Washington, stopping on the way at Arlan ton Cemetery. At Mt. Vernon, Washington's home, they spent a most enjoyable afternoon and wished they could spend many more there. When Betty tried to take a picture of Washington’s tomb, Vic stepped in front of the camera, end she got Vic instead of Goor'c. On the way back to the hotel they stopped at the Lincoln Memorial. There it seemed as though Mr. Lincoln was standing before them. That night the group went out after writing post cards for an hour. They didn't know their way around, so they hailed a taxi and took in a good show, getting there late enough to miss the stage show. After the show, they wont back to the hotel. At least the three girls did. Then they wondered why a man who identified himself as being from the police force cane to the door of 3ctty's, Lydia's and Carrol's room to toll them to quiet down. They surely weren't making noise. Not tluan. But, wc heard hu should nave gone back lat r. The n.xt morning th y truvi,lcd to the Pan-American Union Building, Supremo Court, Library of Congress, and the lovely Capitol whuro they saw the Hou3e of Representatives in session. That afternoon they motored over to Annapolis to soc the handsome boys of the Navy. They must have been quite important as the boys even paraded for them. That night at midnight they left the beautiful city of Washington D. C., and started back to dear old Indiana. The trip seemed longer coming home as they were anxious to get back. Finally, they arrived home around four o'clock and were happy to be there. WORK OF THE STAFF Whew I Goshl Ue're seein' stars, ( a different variety than usual), from working on this year's annual. Last year's class will know what we are up against, but for those of you who have never made an annual---Listen to this I It was Christmas by the tine we got started on our annual, so v:e had to hurry it along. There seemed to be millions of things to write and do. Our typists were very busy, and before long the cupboard was full of stencils. A few of the seniors were appointed to work the mimeograph machine. We heard remarks like-------- I sure will be glad when this annual is finished or uhy didn't somebody tell me it was such a job? Oh I Yes'. Don't let us forget the loads of pictures that had to be glued on large pieces of cardboard. Wc also had to trim our pictures to fit as you can see. To top it all off the senior pictures for the annual didn't arrive until two weeks after they were supposed to be at the printers. If your annual is late we hope this explains it satisfactorily.
