If there is something to be done, Iona can be counted upon. During grade school she attended Sauktovn, Lakeview, Galena, and Center schools. She appeared at Rolling during our freshman year and never disappeared. Iona was born tvo miles south of New Carlisle, July 26, 1930. Bob Brewer is our genial fountain of spontaneous laugh- ter. However, our class clown is wiser than he pretends and makes the honor roll every time. Bob attended grade school at Mt. Pleasant, Rolling, and Galena Central, re- turning to Rolling at the beginning of his freohman year. He was born in the Falrvlew Hospital in LaPorte on June 17, 1930.

After spending his fresh- man year 8t South Bend Central Catholic, he joined our class and h s been with us slnce. ‘Bill was born in South Bend on September 30, W y Ellen Flitter is one of our vivacious, brown-eyed honor students. She is a conservative who believes in staying in one place until a job is done. To prove that, she has attended Rolling for twelve years. She was born in LaPorte County on October 6, 1930. Berneita Gorden is our fragile maiden with the charming eyes and winning smile. She attended grade school at Filey in Michigan City, Coolspring, and Galena. Her sohool career was spent at Rolliag. Berneita was born In the St. Anthony Hospital, Michigan City, on February o, 1931- Bar bars Hager, one of our amicable blondes, makes a good picture of a young girl in a hurry; of course it depends upon the situation. Barbara was born in LaPorte County. October 12, 1930. She attended Center School for four years; then she moved to Wilis Township to finish grade school at Oak Grove. Her high school years were spent at Rolling. See that neat looking lad over there? Well, that's Gene Hall. If you talk with him you'll find he is friendly and courteous too. Gene was born in Pulaski County on January 2 of the year 1929 He attended grade school at Franklin Township School and at California «ownship school.

Nedra Harris, Luella'a sister, is soft-spoken too and a beautiful smile. Nedra was born November 8, 1929. She spent her first eight-years at Wills Tomaship grade school and her“last fofrr years a.R.P.H.S. Charles Hickman Is a conscientious young fellow. Re- cently he had some bandaged fingers, but not because he spends his spare time as a butcher. Chuck ves born in Elkhart, Indians, on December 13, 1929• He spent his first seven years of school at Valparaiso, Indiana, and his last five at Rolling. Lois Hutton is another fixture around Rolling, having been here for tvelvG years. She is a gay little blonde. Lois was born one mile from Rolling Prairie on December 23, 1930. Marilyn Jone3, a lively miss, has a contagious giggle which affects ell of us sometimes. Marilyn and her twin brother were born October 27, 1930, at the Holy Family Hospital. She is another one who hes always been at Rolling. Arthur Lenig hes the appearance of a calm end dignified gentleman, but of course he enjoys good run too. Per- haps that is what makes him so popular. Art was born in LaPorte on the twenty-third of June in 1930. He attend- ed kindergarten and part of first grade at LaPorte. Then he moved to Pinhook end attended Westville School until third grade, transferring to Rolling to finish his public school days.

The Lieber family then moved to their present location, and Dolores hes ettended Rolling ever since. ■N % Did you say you vented a competent, hole, end hearty miss? Well, here's one. Her name is Shirley Ludtke. She vas born ir. Kenses City, Missouri, on April 12, 1930, and came to Indiana when she was two weeks old. She’s an old timer et Rolling since she has attended Rolling for twelve years. I op Mao ring la the joucg nan that gives us eo «oh extra Information.

He has also attended Bridge Sctocoi lg Chicago, Manheim School near Melrose Perk, Prena School near Blue Island Illinois. All of his high school days were spent at Rolling.

She has been giving some thought to attending college for the next four yeers. Kenneth Porter Is a quiet-mannered and modest young fel- low who, we feel quite sure, has some dreams. One of them is to get into newspaper writing. He hasn’t told us the others yet. Kenny was born in LaPorte on June 13, 1930. He spent his first three years of school in LePorte and then came to Rolling to finish. Short and sweet fits this little girl with the big heart. Jane Post was born in the West Suburban Hos- pital, Oak Park, Illinois, on October 6 of the year 1930. Jane has attended Rolling for twelve years. Next fall she plans on entering college. I’ll give you a hint. He hes bright sweaters, trousers that somehow ere alweys pressed, and a lock of blonde hair th8t persists in hanging diagonally across his forehead. Why, yes, it’s Poland Reed.

Half of his freshman year was spent at LePorte High School after which he joined us at R.P.H.S.

We can t remember our class’s being without Gene for he hes been here twelve years. Gene says he wants to be an industrial man. Jayne Sayers, quick in speech and action, is a young girl who can be counted on to make the best of things. Jayne was born in the Masonic Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, on May 28, 1930. When she was four they moved to a farm a few yards from Rolling Prairie. She entered Rolling in the second grade. Her dream is to study music and becomea music teacher.

Arlen was born in LaPorte on March 27, 1930. He has spent twelve years at Rolling. After graduation he plans on going to college in sunny Florida end studying biology. A mad scramble, e brilliant dash, a joyful shoot, Charlie has made another basketin Yes, that's Charles Schroeder, a smiling good fellow. He has been with us for twelve years. Charles wes born December sixth in the year 1929. He pl£r 3 on working in a factory. Perry Smith seems to have a genuine interest in things. Though he claims the distinction of being the worst Eng- lish student, we don't teke thet very seriously. He wes born January 11, 1?29, et the Holy Family Hospital in LePorte. He attended the following schools: Maple, Perk, Rolling, Maple again. Mill Creek, Sauktown, Center, and back to Rolling. If you catch leeh Stewart in the right mood, she will give you a beautiful dimpled smile. She likes red heir quite well. Leah was born in Flint, Michigan, on November 29, 1928.

He entered Herrin High School for one helf ye°r and then came to Rolling. He plans to teke the Purdue Extension course in LaPorte for one year end then go off tc college. The old saying toll, dark, end handsome would fit this fellow, but Bill Wells has a little more than that, namely e high scholastic record. He was bora in the Fairview Hospital in lePorte on December 20, 1930. Bill attended the first three grades at Scott Township School, the fourth at Kewtnno, and the rest here at good old R.P.H.S.

She was born in Silver Lake, Indiana, on November 6, 1930. Joyce attended grade school at Silver Lake School, Center Township School, end Gelena. She spent ell four years of high school at Rolling. If I were talking about someone gay who has sparkling eyes end dark wavy hair, June Zook would fit the de- scription very well. She was born in Galena Township, October 20, 1929- June attended grade school at Galena for eight yoors; then ohe cemo to Rolling for her last four years.

For the elaborate knifeless and forkless spreed, Rosalee Bechtel, Bemeita Gorden, Nina and Irma Meyers planned the menu, of deviled eggs, shrimp, chicken, rolls, olives, carrots, celery, asparagus, sweet cakes, ice, grape juice, grapes, nuts, raisins end apples. The softly lighted library was arranged es e Roman banquet room with couches for the toga-clad, vreathe- weering Latins who checked their street shoes at the door and received a pair of sandals to wear until they could translate the Latin motto which served as a check 8 tub. In her sweet manner Nine Meyers sang a Latin Love song as the feature of the evening. A graceful nymph dance after the secunda mense was another feature. A duel with swords between performers LeRoy end Gorden was e high spot of the entertainment, worked out by Eugene Hell, Harold Sayers, Ellen Flitter, and Alan Williams. The sandals, wreathes, hut cups and table arrange- ments were made by Joan Post, Marcella Barnes, Jane LeRoy end Jeanne DeGroote.

The play takes place in the Hunter living room. Mery and George Hunter are preparing to leave to go to their college reunion. Everything goes comparatively well until they leave. Then Jimmie begins getting all sorts of ideas of how to raise some money. One is a white elephant sale, another raising frogs. Thanks to Jimmie, Barbara seems to be losing out with Jerry. Also Gloria has Jimmie interested in her, much to the unhap- piness of Jiffy. The sudden appearance of Miss Sheldon brings the Hunters home in a hurry. Mrs. Greene doesn't help matters much, either. However, ell of the difficulties are eventually Ironed out. Jimmie, assisted by Dot, Louise, Jiffy, Ellie, Herb, Henk, end Judge Weshburn, organizes a Teen Town.

Bolling Prairie Bend Orchestra Bolling Prairie Band Love Is Too Much Trouble Friday, April 2, the Junior Class presented the three ect comedy Love is Too Much Trouble.

The social life centers around a typical college town sode fountain, af- fectionately referred to as the Poison Pot . Pinky Hamilton (Bob Garden) end Joe Burke(Dave Jones) succeed in getting into trouble with the greatest of ee3e. The trouble usually settles at the Poison Pot , much to the dismay of the harassed proprietor ' Toesty (Diane Katsi nis). The two boys1 problems seem I to be that they can't stay on the good side of their } sweethearts Shirley Bradford (Louise Levis) end Sugar Lou Jackson (Caroline Lestinsky), end Dr. Pillaey, (John Hewitt) at the same time so they may go to the prom and ! have a good time. Pinky and Jot's ochcming results in people’s feint- ing, being frozen, stealing laundry trucks, exciting the atmosphere seeker, Monica Betes (Berbers Were) and, to i express it mildly, complicates things. Dr. Pillsey gets wind of the affair end hes an expelling spree. Bloom rises like e curteln when Mrs. J. Worthington Bates (Joyce Butts) makes her appearance and donctes scholar- ships and a science hell to the college because of the efforts of Ebb and Flo Dunham (Charlotte Clerk and Peggy McClure) and Pinky. The restrictions are lifted; everyone is hsppy. Sugar Lou goes to the prom with Oggie McClosky-(Duane Smith), Shirley with Cliff Hayverd (Bob Videman, Pinky with Connie Ashton (Irma Meyers), Monica with Joe, and Ebb end Flo ere gelly off with their Romeos.
