Senior Standouts Most Talkative Relda Caulkins and Glenn Stevens Most Talented Sharon Royer and Ann McMaster Friendliest Sherrill Swanson and Sandra Gehring Seniors Visit Southland Bright and early June 1st, 38 seniors departed for Kirkwood Lodge on Osage Beach to swim, boat, and lounge in the sun. A visit to the Ozark Opry and an excursion on the lake were of added interest. Although rain dampened some enthusiastic plans, the last day dawned brightly. Ambitious seniors got up early, determined to enjoy every minute. Arriving home late on the night of June 3rd, the ’61 seniors were at the end of their high school days; it was then the time to look ahead. 26 ABOVE--Glenn Stevens brought honor to himself and his school by winning the DeKalb Award and the FFA State Farmer Award. LEFT--Outstanding citizenship and service entitled Sherrill Swanson (left) and Sandra Gehring (right) to the American Legion and D.A.R. awards respectively. Top Seniors Win Awards Nine ROVA seniors were able to do themselves and their class proud by garnering awards in scholastics, citizenship. music and agriculture. In step with the current attempt to publicly recognize outstanding accomplishments, the ROVAN now wishes to openly congratulate these outstanding seniors and offer continued best wishes. RIGHT--Pictured here is Ann McMaster who has been honored by the ROVA musical department for her outstanding musical contributions to her school-Arion Award.

Mr. Le Vander advised seniors, faculty and a large crowd of proud relatives of the necessity for direction and applications of hard work for success in the modern world. Later, after presentation of the class and two choral selections, Mr. J. D. McKibben, superintendent presented the much awaited sheepskins to sheepishly grinning new alumni of RO V A Senior High School.

Players still hopped on the fire engine, but they rode it around the track instead of on Oneida city streets, centering the afternoon fun at the high school. Darkness brought the traditional bonfire which kicked off the evening activities. Although hopes of defeating Abingdon were dashed by their hard-driving backs, Rovans were not deterred from celebrating the occasion in style. At half-time the band marched through Homecoming formations followed by the presentation of class floats and the candidates for Taking first place, the sophomores utilized and staked football players with an Early ican barbeque theme and the caption mandoes Last Stand.

Important parts were also played by student director Carol McMaster and unseen crewmen. 35 Santa’s Snowbal Rosalie knows how to pick her friends, doesn't she? On December 10, the Student Council presented the student body with a renovated study hall and library as the scene of the Christmas Dance. Homey, night before Christmas atmosphere pervaded the library while the study hall was transformed into a winter wonderland. A surprise visit from Santa Claus made the evening complete. 36 Cupid’s Delight A joint project of the FHA and IIEC, the annual Sweetheart Dance was held on the 11th of that red-heart month, February. Cupids with arrows aimed carried out the theme, while Roberta Anderson and Mer-vynSwanson donned the royal garb to rule the evening's fun. Cheryl Lindsey and Sherrill Swanson pose with the royal couple. 37 The Happy Journey by Thornton Wilder, took us along on a typically American family trip in the 1920's. Little scenery and props were used. Members of the family cir-cle were portrayed by (BACK) J. Holmes, N. Schott, T. Faurot, (FRONT) R. Anderson, B. German, and C. Rylander, Stage Manager. Triangle The Proposa1 by Anton Chekkov gave contrast to the two previous productions. Set in a Russian country home before the revoHtion, it described a wealthy landowner's difficulties in marrying off his shrewish daughter. Sharon Schraudenbach, IHTn Cederoth, and Robert Johnson starred. Theatre On April 7, the Junior Class presented 3 one-act plays under the direction of Mr. Babich. The Valiant by Hall and Mid-dlemass concerned the last day in the life of a condemned murderer and his efforts to conceal his identity. Cast in the play were R. Rylander, B. Moore, T. Johnson, S. Wagher, J. Clark, and T. McMaster. 38 Rebel yells and dixie melodies carried us back to the deep South at this year's Prom, Saturday evening, April 29. Held in the Hotel Kewanee, Southern hospitality reigned as the Juniors entertained the Seniors with a delicious smorgasboard and a carefully planned and executed program. The facade of a white mansion at one end of the room and a picket-fenced flower garden at the other framed the evening's activities. The whole plantation joined in the grand finale with a medley of Southern tunes. You're learning fast! Donning tennis shoes and square dance togs, students and teachers alike joined in the festivities of the annual Farmer's Ball, March 10, 1961. It was a night for some to learn something new and for others to brush upon an old talent, a night for polkas, the bunny hop, the grand march, and square dance after square dance. Co-sponsored by the FHA and the FFA, the Ball proved once more to be one of the truly enjoyable events of the year. When it was all over and time to head for home, the sounds of fiddling and Swing your partner! still rang in the air, and when those sounds faded, we had burning blisters and gasping lungs for souvenirs.

These traditions, because of their informal nature, are rarely thought of as prominent enough to include in abookof memoriessuch as the ROVAN. But what would our school be without these traditions?

More memorable to us, though, would be such traditions as the basketball boys joining hands and repeating the traditional Let's go! as they run into a contest.

Modern Music Masters With two local members holding state offices, ROVA Tri-Mers took a lively interest in both service and honorary activities during 1960-61. Composed of qualified music students from chorus and band, Tri-M contributed money and time to the state organization and sponsored several fund-raising and music projects. Led by president, Steve McGill, and advisor, Mr. DeVore, who is also state sponsor, the Music Masters held a bake sale during the summer months and staged a piano concert by Frederic Sjobairn in April. The concert, featuring a classical and semi-classical program, came off as scheduled despite rain, mud and transportation difficulties. Two hundred people slogged through the torrent to hear Mr. Sjobairn play selections ranging from Mozart to Gershwin. This was the Tri-M's most ambitious undertaking since it's founding four years ago. Six new members joined the music society this spring. 46 ACTIVITIES STANDING: C. McMaster, A. McMaster, N.

These twelve maintained a B average in solid subjects and fulfilled the leadership, service and character qualifications of the organization. At the candlelit March induction ceremony, new initiates received pins, cards, some words of encouragement and a pat on the back from NHS officers, the chapter sponsor, Mr. Schraudenbach, speaker Dr. Herbert Priestly and assembled relatives and friends, acknowledging their academic achievement. Though the March ceremony is the NHS' outstanding annual event, society members sponsored other projects. The 1960 paperback book sale gave all ROVA students a chance to buy classic, contemporary and reference volumes at low cost. In December members sponsored a College Night for all interested students. Through these activities and its basic creed of excellence, NHS made its presence known to all at ROVA. 47 ACTIVITIES G. A. A. Has Energetic Year The purpose of the Girls' Athletic Association is to promote growth in mind, spirit, and body. Participating in after-school activities under the guidance of Miss Steinberg, ROVA's GAA'ers worked toward this goal. GAA members also carried on in the best tradition by decorating for the Homecoming Dance and by presenting skits for assemblies. The girls' interpretation of a boys'basketball game provided one of the year's funniest moments. At Left: N. Bolin, St. C. Rep.; J. Lindsey, Treas.; M. Trout, Pres.; J. Steinberg, Adv.; B.

Sometimes it wasn't easy to fill empty pages the day before deadline, but the staff always managed to find news and present it, at least lukewarm, to the student body. For their September to May interest and effort they deserve our praise. Completing its twelfth year of publication, Hi-Crier in 1960-61 was once again the Voice of ROVA.” Sponsored by Mrs. Upson with Ann McMaster the editor and Sharon Schraudenbach the co-editor, the newspaper staff wrote eight issues covering student interest topics from Homecoming to Graduation. A fresh approach distinguished this season's Hi-Crier. Characteristic of this approach was the use of open stencils on the lead story and class pages. Several new columns which included frequent interviews and a Ten Years Ago at ROVA feature brought renewed interest in the newspaper. 49 AUTTTTITE7 F. H. A.

Almost more than any other single factor, the yearbook represents its school and the students it serves. For this reason, the ROVAN staff is one of the most important organizations at ROVA. We are proud of our personnel and believe that their work will inform, interest and amuse both students and public. TheROVANstaff put in a long year, from September to May, preparing a bigger, better '61 annual. Spon- sored by Mr. R. M. Babich, everyone contributed time and effort to come up with fresh, workable ideas. Sharing editorial responsibilities, Connie Hurr and Mary Ellen Rushing rode herd on all departments, kept track ofdeadlines, and managed the hundred and one problems the rest of the staff forgot. Without their help and Mr. Babich's continued interest in this book, it probably could never have been put together. Pictures, Art, Copy, Magazine SITTING—C. Duffy and A. Robbins. STANDING— J.

The creation of a yearbook requires three important ingredients; interest, work--and money! That last essential, base though it may be, is vital. Without the green stuff all our efforts might as well be filed in the wastebasket. At ROVA mercenary reality is served by the fall magazine sales. These sales, arranged on a commission basis are conducted by students interested in the annual or possibly the prizes offered to big sellers. Honors this year went to Stanley Andrews, Tim Cede-roth and Judy Main for their hundred dollar plus quota.

The most important of these came about by actions of our Student Council. A new Constitution and the seven point activity system were put into effect in the fall. The Student Council sponsored an educational assembly showing the relationship between cancer and smoking as well as the entertaining assemblies to which we are accustomed. In addition the Council served as host for the Christmas and Homecoming Dances and the popular sock hops. Delegates bought a record player and backed the purchase of a ceiling ornament for dances.

The annual Homecoming festivities were re-organized by the Council. In place of the customary parade, a pep assembly with organization skits was initiated. The dance was held Saturday. Campaign procedures also underwent revision. This year a petition signed by 30 students was required as well as being eligible according to the point system. Posters were displayed and gum was distributed and on Friday speeches were given by the candidates--for president: Beverly Moore and Rick Ry-lander; for vice-president; Gordon Mor -ris and Norman Carlson.

MUSIC But Music for a Time Doth Change His Nature The Man That Hath No Music in Himself. Wm. Shakespeare Concerts, Contest, and The concert and marching band's gold braid and midnight blue have had another busy season at ROVA. On the concert scene, the band, under the veteran leadership of Mr. William DeVore, presented the traditional winter and spring performances. While not so obvious the rest of the year, band members worked from September to May laying the foundation for another successful year. Smaller than in the past, the 65 piece organization maintained its musical reputation both in public appearances and at the state band contest. One of the highlights of the year was the performance for teachers'institute where our teachers sat still and listened to us. In February we took part in the Oneida Post Office Dedication. All year round the band not only served our school at football and basketball games, but also worked for the surrounding communities. This summer several open air concerts were well attended by the residents, human and canine, of Oneida, Altona, Victoria, and Rio. Also deserving congratulations are band members' families for lending cakes, cookies, transportation and a willing ear to our projects both artistic and money-making. Without the help of the people of our towns such an instrumental organization could not exist. TWIRLERS--J. Johnson, J. Holmes, P. Morris, C.

Band members felt it was worth the effort on hot September days, miles from a drinking fountain, to perform these shows, with almost as much expected from them as from the Tiger team. Marchers tangled with flag stakes, sideswipped fans, and froze waiting on the sidelines late in October, but, nevertheless, always put on a top quality program. The ROVA band was fortunate in having its fine director, Mr. De-Vore. He created from a small membership in 1949 the able unit of 1961. Although at times he must have felt that he was in charge of a stampede, he always managed to calm down his charges long enough for a performance. 61 Girls' Chorus Keeps Home Fires to State Music Contest Burning These three and four part choirs, directed by Mr. William DeVore, spent another energetic year studying scores from Handel to Gershwin and preparing for several public appearances. Though the real work began two months before, the choral department’s first concert came in December at the holiday vesper service. Here the mixed chorus performed a traditional Christmas cantata, The Divine Mystery while the girls' chorus sang familiar carols. Both groups in conjunction with the band also presented the annual Spring Concert, utilizing varied selections of light and serious music. For the first time, mixed chorus made the trek to Augustana College to participate in the State Music Contest. The last days of school meant preparation for Baccalaureate and Commencement services. These performances marked the end of a worthwhile choral year. Special applause goes to accompanist Ann McMaster for her support in practice and in public. ROVA's vocal music programs are open to any interested students. Providing basic music training, they permit every boy and girl to publicly represent his school. 63 ROVA’s Musical Am Ensembles played an important part at ROVA this year. The vocal ensembles sang at surrounding community gatherings such as box socials, woman's clubs, church schools, elevator banquets, Lions Clubs and PTA. Both the Jr.-Sr. Girls' Ensemble and the Boys' Quartet received superior ratings at district contest and excellent ratings at state. The instrumental ensembles all participated in district band contest with the flute and clarinet quartets going on to state contest. Serving as an outlet for our talented students and as a source of enjoyment for the community, these ensembles are indeed ROVA's musical ambassadors. LEFT--M. Rushing, C. Hurr, C. Vande Walle, N.

I960 Football Tigers Have Up -Down Year but Break Even Bennett, Duffy Lead in Scoring Offense, Defense Squads Join Efforts for .500 Season — Goers — Offense I960 Season in ROVA raced into the 1960 season with a 32-7 victory over the neighboring AlWood Aces. AlWood scored early in the first quarter, but ROVA came back in power with Bill Bennett scoring the first TD of the year. Co-captain Cecil Duffy scored four additional touchdowns before the initial game ended. Warren provided ROVA with its second win in a hot-tempered game. ROVA and Warren players alike paraded to early showers after Bennett, Harold Bern, Duffy and Jim Hagerty scored Nutshell for the Gold and White cause. Final score was 27-6. Defeat finally came at the hands of hard-charging Knoxville. Bennet brought an early score but the Blue Bullets won 19-7. Breaking loose early in the first quarter, Duffy managed to score against the Abingdon Commandos, but victory wasn't in the books for the anxious Homecoming crowd, and Abingdon rallied to a 25-6 win. 70 Sornberger, Landers Hold Down Line rallied to a 25-6 win. One of the season's hardest and best fought battles by the Tigers was in a losing effort to a bigger Alexis team. Quick last-second TD's in the second and fourth quarters dealt ROVA a 13-0 whitewashing. Corpus Christi's homecoming provided an excellent opportunity for ROVA to bounce back and they did to the tune of 60-12. A veritable parade of ROVA touchdowns was led by Bennett with three, Duffy two, Tim Cederoth, Dick Edwards, Hag-erty and Allan Hannam one each. (con't on page 72) (Con't from page 71) The next bounce ROVA took was the wrong way as Aledo solidly trounced the Tigers, 33-0. Determined to end with a .500 season, ROVA poured it on to win over Roseville, 42-12. Seniors Duffy, Bennett, and Bern provided five farewell TD’s between them. Sophomore Bob Foglesong scored the season's last touchdown to sew up a 4-4 season for the '60 football Tigers. TOP PICTURE, Duffy makes gain on end run at Roseville.

With daring and ability the Junior Varsity captured the admiration of all followers. The Tiger Cubs, knowing defeat only at the hands of Knoxville, brought home an enviable five and one won-lost record for ROVA. Scoring a total of 155 points to the competitors’ 37, the JV's outdistanced them all with ease. Ironically, the closest game ended with ROVA on the short end of a seven to zero score in favor of Knoxville. Early in the season the Tigers white-washed Corpus Christi, Alwood and Galva, storming past them by at least 21 points.

The Tigers limped through a discouraging season with one of their poorest records in years. A lack of returning seasoned players and an obvious improvement on the part of other Little Six members pulled the beaten Bengals down to a seven won, fifteen lost record, and a two and eight conference slate. The season was not without its bright spots, Sophs Brighten Varsity Outlook though, as the Tigers showed occasional strength and potential in gamering a third place in the annual Knox County tournament and double wins over Roseville and Yates City. The ROVA boys also showed strong improvement and desire in the year's finale against Knoxville in the regional state tournament, (continued on page 77.)

(continued from page 75) Possibly the best way to look at the season, however, would be through the eyes of Coach Messmore who looks proudly and anxiously at his junior-varsity quintet which earned for itself an admirable eighteen won, five lost record, including third place in the Alexis tournament and second place in the Knox County shuffle. 77 JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL BACK ROW--Willard Strom, Bill Millen, Dennis Nelson, Bemie Millen, John Landers, Norman Carlson.

ROVA Tracksers Have Almost” Year The ROVA track squad for the 1961 season was at several times almost able to provide the home spectators with a few solid victories. As the season turned out, however, the thin-clads were only able to emerge as clear-cut victors in half of their dual meets. One of the highlights of the season was the ROVA hosted A-K-R relays, but overpowering strength of our opponents and a few bad breaks gave ROVA a fifth place finish. A bright spot was the Little Six conference meet where a weakened squad brought home a fifth, just missing a possible third or second place finish. 1961 FRESHMAN TRACK TEAM STANDING--Dan Hiatt, Gary Gehring, David Powell, Jerry Haynes.

Diamondeers Snare Regional Crown The ROVA Baseball Tigers clawed up the infield with hits and sharp double-plays to bag championships in the AlWood district and Rock Island regional tournaments. Tossing the old apple past bewildered opposing batters, pitchers Dennis Nelson and Bill Bennet (with occasional help from Chuck Rylander) helped Coach Mess more’s charges to a six won, two lost over-all season. Although they played only a three game regular season, the high spirited team sped past AlWood and Orian in the district and past Rock Island and Manlius in the regional before loosing a squeaker to a determined Coal City team in the sectional tournament at Peru. This season’s starting line-up usually included Bennet or Nelson on the mound and Jim Hagerty behind the plate, Ted Chapman at first, John Stuckey at second, Tim Cederoth at short stop and Marvin Klusman at third. Outfield members were Rex Bennet, Tom Johnson and Alan Hannam. In ROVA’s non-tournament season, the diamond squad turned back AlWood and Knoxville while sustaining a defeat at Knoxville's hands earlier in the season. 82 LEFT TO RIGHT--Marlene Trout, Donna Hazen, Rosalie Milroy, Alberta Krantz, Sandra Gehring.
