HOWARD MILLER Mr. Miller spends most of his time in the shop, teaching his classes how to make mechanical drawings and construct different articles of furniture. We also recognize him as a fine fresh- man and junior high basketball coach. Mr. Miller is the seventh grade sponsor and a graduate of Indiana State Teachers College. HELEN MARSHALL Mrs. Marshall is one of Rossville's most charm- ing teachers. The senior boys claim that they never give the correct answers in English class because her charm frustrates them. She keeps busy by teaching English, directing the junior and senior plays, and co-sponsoring the freshman class. She is a graduate of Central Normal College. MARYEVELYN ACORD Mrs. Acord is always busy. She plans meals for the cafeteria, teaches health and physical education, and makes sure everyone uses a thimble and sews a straight, true seam in her homemaking classes. While rearing a son, she also finds time to give her guidance to the junior class. Her alma mater is Ball State Teachers College. TROY FOX Mr. Fox is an old timer on the Rossville faculty. Probably his chief concern is keeping dis- cipline in the assembly. Each year he assigns seats in the assembly to each member of high school and makes certain that every student minds his own business. Mr. Fox also teaches science and co-sponsors the senior class. He has his degree from Purdue University.

I CECIL THARP Mr. Tharp has completed his third year as principal at R. H. S. Although he is very busy, he is always ready to help any student who comes to him for advice. He co-sponsors the senior class and is the originator and sponsor of the Student Council. Mr. Tharp graduated from Indiana Uni- versity. ALICE RODKEY Mrs. Rodkey probably can be credited as starting more good things at R. H. S. than any other teacher. She is responsible for moving the library to a new and better location, developing the HIGH SPOT, reviving the LARS, starting a new journalism class, and organizing the Latin Club. Receiving a degree from DePauw University, she teaches English, Latin, and journalism. RALPH ACORD Mr. Acord has brought many honors to R. H. S. by his excellent job of coaching the judging teams. He has also proved himself successful in advising the FFA boys and teaching vocational agriculture. In addition to all this he still finds time to sponsor the junior class. He is a graduate of Purdue University.

CECIL CRUM Mrs. Crum always tries to find the good traits in every individual. Each class strives to do their best, so that on the night of commencement, she can say, This is the best class that graduated from Rossville. A graduate of Southwest Missouri State Teachers College, she teaches mathematics and sponsors the sophomore class and Sunshine Society. ALLEN NISWONGER Mr. Niswonger joined the R. H. S. faculty this year as head athletic coach and a teacher of health, biology, and driver's training. Finding his knowledge of and interest in magic didn't work on the basketball floor, he gave up his career as an amateur magician. He is a graduate of Purdue University. JAMES MONTGOMERY Mr. Montgomery, school treasurer, has several interests as a member of the faculty. He special- izes, however, in developing accuracy and speed in every member of his typing class. Mr. Mont- gomery is also the B-team coach and sponsor of tne eighth grade class. He acquired his additional education from Central Normal College. KENNETH MARSHALL Mr. Marshall is a specialist in history and bookkeeping. When it comes to remembering important dates in history and studying the prin- ciples of debiting and crediting in bookkeeping, he is unbeatable. The trade mark of Mr. Marshall is his pointing stick, which he has in his hand most of the time. He is the freshman sponsor and a graduate of Purdue.
