IT MUST BE PAY DAY . . . Mr. Richard Andrew, better known as Dick, is a familiar figure around the Rossville School, for he considers the administration of the school one of the important functions of the many duties of a trustee. A graduate of the high school in Cola, Iowa, Mr. Andrew has been generous in providing any needed equipment as long as he feels it will benefit the students. Under his supervision the appearance of the school has improved immeasurably and the utilitarian value of the school plant has been enhanced. Career-wise he has the experience of a farmer, office clerk, and salesman to help him tackle the problems of this position. He is married and has two sons in grade school.

How's your appetite . . . IN MEMORIAM . . . Mr. Earl Hamilton, having served six years as janitor of the school, succumbed to leukemia in December. A rather quiet man and very con- scientious, Mr. Hamilton would do almost any- thing in his power to help somebody out. He spent a lot of his time working on wooden structures around the building and was thought of as the school carpenter. The students, teach- ers, and all connected with the school certainly miss his kind and helpful hand and will keep memories of him for many years. Bob Smock Yellow monsters were their charges . . . I. to R.: Mr. Chase, Mrs. Roth, Mrs. Purcell, Mr. Hurley, Mr. Malaska, Mr. Rofhenberger, Junior Milner, Robert Bell, Paul Skiles.
