Business Manager Tommy Frey Secretary-Treasurer Betty Lou Sexton Engraving Editor Roy Cranmer Printing Editor Pat La Tempt Organizations Editor Dorothy Major Class Editor Mary Cranmer Sports Editor Bob Harvick Photography Editor Margaret Hubbard Copy Editor..............................Elaine Winstead Mr. Kuhn assisted the Photography department by snapping and developing pictures. Mr. Frey worked with the literary staff while Miss Uecker was the Business Advisor. The Rox was published and printed by the Williamson Printing and Publishing Company of Springfield, Illinois. The Jahn and Ollier Company did the engraving work on the Rox. PHOTOTROPISTS The Phototropists club was organized in the spring of 1942 and is now going into its second year under the sponsorship of Mr. Kuhn and Mr. Renshaw. The objective of this club is to teach the members the fundamentals of photography so that they may be able to turn out work of near professional quality. Phototropists will be counted upon to furnish most of the pictorial work for the future annuals. Member ship is opened to any student of the Roxana Community High School. Monthly programs consist of prepared lectures presented by members of the club and professional photographers. The darkroom is well equipped, boasting some of the most modern pieces of photographic apparatus, such as the thirty-five millimeter camera with synchro-flash attachment, photo-flood equipment, enlarger, contact printer, developing tanks, and light meter.

SPOTLIGHT Elaine Winstead was elected editor-in-chief of the paper this year with Lloyd De Wester as associate editor. Several improvements have been made in the paper this year. The greatest of these is the printing of the paper. Last year the mimeographing required a great deal of work after the copy was handed in. This year, however, the copy is sent to the printer as soon as the copy is ready. Several classes in journalism were held for the inexperienced reporters. Staff members enjoyed two parties—a chili supper and a hike—■ during the year. A special program will be held at the end of the year. Everyone, reporters and various department editors, who has met the requirements, will be presented with the award he has earned. Miss Shields is the faculty advisor for the paper. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club is an organization open to all girls interested in homemaking. Miss Sophia Lovekamp, the Home Economics teacher, is the club sponsor. Officers for the first semester were Anna Lee Bruce, president; Doris Hoffman, vice-president; Blanche Weaver, secretary-treasurer. For the second semester, Doris Hoffman was elected president; Yvonne Overby, vice-president; and Blanche Weaver, secretary-treasurer. This organization meets semi-monthly, on Tuesdays. These meetings prove to be very interesting to the girls. At these meetings talks about subjects such as vocations for home economists, date etiquette, personality development, and table manners were given by members. A number of parties have been had throughout the year. Some of these parties were the initiation, the co-ed party, the Christmas party, and the recipe party. Among other social activities of the club was the Mothers' tea and style show, in which the girls modeled the clothes made during the year. This group has contributed much in connecting the school and the home, in furnishing an opportunity for social activities, and in training the girls for leadership. Twenty-ssven
