if 'A' i' DEDICATION In behalf of the Lieutenants of 1942, we dedicate this 1942 Railroader to an officer who entered our Camp the same year we became privates. After faithfully serving three years as a constant friend and adviser, he was honorably discharged and became an officer of the White Hall regiment. Although he is not with us now, We are proud to acknowledge his leadership and cheerful cooperation. For his lasting service as an officer of the staff, we bestow this honor on Major Joseph A. Rockenbach. Two

UFOREWORDH MARCH For the theme of our yearbook, we have chosen the draft idea. We compare our four years of high school to a draft term. Throughout this book, the first year students will be called pri- vates. They advance from a private to a corporal the second year. The third year they become sergeants. Their senior year they are ready to receive their commissions. Our faculty members, various school activities, and athletic teams, have also been given military significance throughout the book. We present this book to the student body, fac- ulty, and friends of Roodhouse High School that they may Remember Pearl Harbor and the Class of '42.
