A printing shop and quarter-mile track are the latest addition to the modernistic and improved equipment of the school. ★ ★★★★★★★★★★ ★ ★ ★ ★ if ROX STAFF One of the busiest organizations of the year, I believe, is the ROX staff. From the first few weeks of school until final exams, the ROX members are on the go—subscriptions, ads, pictures, write-ups, engravers, printers, etc. But when the last of the yearbooks are handed out, the staff can sit back and heave a sigh. A job well done. Seated, left to right: Fred Berry. Mary Redd. Frieda Hardesty, Hilda Rhodes, William Groves. Standing: Mr. Floyd, Charles Wilson. Betty Jo Dinwiddle. B e t t y Lou Cox, Annette Harney. Glen Sawyer, Mr. Huck. With wartime restrictions and such the students were surprised to be asked to order their yearbooks early in October. But few realized that the staff was working at organizing the annual. Mr. Huck was sponsor again this year and did a pretty good job of prodding the students into keeping up with their work. This was appreciated. ★ ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ SCHO ★ ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ BOARD OF EDUCATION Name Years of Service Mr. F. F. Berry, president.....5 Mr. V. L. Major, secretary ----- 5 Mr. J. G.

Frey, our principal since the school opened four years ago, could easily be called the driving force behind the school. It is he who hires the teachers, keeps the students in hand and takes care of the office work. A versatile man, Mr. Frey, when not busy in the office, can usually be found making or repairing equipment for the school. He works hard and deserves much praise. Seven FACULTY J.

They have not only taken active parts in all athletics and school activities, but have also worked hard and furiously at raising money for the annual school banquet and prom. Fortunately their scholastic record has not suffered too much from all this activity. In their drive for “prom money,” they sponsored dances which were held after the basketball games. At these well-liked dances, they worked hard, selling hot-dogs, soda, candy, etc. A clean-up committee was assigned after each dance and in this way the whole class participated in the work. Several other means were used in raising money, one being the choosing of the queen. All in all the whole drive was very successful. Yes, they have indeed worked hard and well, and, we believe, deserve this well-earned praise. Our hats are off to you, juniors!

SENIOR CLASS What a thrill in finally becoming a senior! During the freshman and rophomore years, the student looks forward to graduation as something wonderful to be achieved in the distant future. The junior year passes all too quickly, and suddenly, almost before you know it you’re a “Senior.” You really don’t think so much about it the first few months as you’re so busy becoming accustomed to your new classes and your new friends. But as the months begin to fade away, your mind is torn between joyful anticipation of the future and sad reminiscence of happy high school days almost ended. This year’s senior class, as all three classes preceding it, goes out this June leaving a vacancy to be filled by next year’s class. Everyone will miss them—their gay, friendly, attitude toward everyone, their cooperation, and their good will. Yes, they will be missed but here’s wishing them every success in the world in their new jobs of the near future! CLASS SPONSORS Mr. Frey Mr. Floyd ★ CLASS OFFICERS President ... Joe Wilson Vice-President - - Elma Brown Secretary ... Hilda Rhodes Twenty-two ATHLETIC FOOTBALL SQUAD With seven veterans, a limited supply of substitutes, and a liberal amount of intestinal fortitude, the ’44 football season began with Coach Corby audibly fearing the worst. By hard and long practice Coach welded a team together that fought hal'd and can well be remembered by the students of R.C.H.S. One victory and five defeats was the record of the ’44 team. The greatest weak spot was not having the reserve necessary to fill in for tired and injured men.

Chick played guard, end and halfback proving he was an all-around player when it came to playing football. The center and linebacker,that never knew when to quit, injured or otherwise. Harold Barker... The tall, blonde, rugged end who will really be missed on the defensive next year. Alvin Neunaber... The pride of Bethalto entered Roxana for his fourth year and made a name for snagging passes from most any angle. Fred Berry ... The quarterback for the Shells who showed fine team spirit and always had a great zeal to win. Joe Bean ... A tackle who did a great job for Coach Corby. If the draft board can’t locate him by next season he will surely do his share again. Stuart Venable ... He finally got that hard-earned letter for which he waited four years. Glen Bean ... A guard who could snake through the line and stop the play before it could get started. Worthy Exton ... The hard-hitting fullback. When he tackled them, they knew it, and how! Dean Denby ... Hard-driving halfback. Made good his first year at Roxana. He was always in the game battling. Twenty-six LETTERMEN FOOTBALL Gerold Steffen... The sub center who shows good prospects for next year. Monk fought hard and played hard. Leighton Lefler... Speedy halfback who is one of the best prospects for next year’s backfield. Don Hubbard... The heavy boy of the team. Only a sophomore though and still has two years left to “mow ’em down!” Lee Vincent... “Coolie” the tall, well-built halfback who played his first season for Roxana. Lee was the punter for the team. Twenty-seven BASKETBALL SQUAD Holding a count of 14 wins and 11 losses, the ,44-,45 cage squad can be mighty proud of themselves. The “Corbymen” have won their second district trophy for dear old R.C.H.S. for whom they have fought, won, and lost. Boasting few tall boys, the Shells found the necessity of making every shot count. For a small school, the team has shown the larger schools that they have the “stuff” to put out a winning team.

Twenty-eight f JOE WILSON The fiery little captain of R.C.H.S. basketball squad could always be counted on for several points. He was always in there fighting. JIM SAWYER The rebounding fool who always came out fighting. Jim did exceptionally well at getting high and getting the ball before the guy next to him. His hard-earned rim bending shots sure came in handy. ALVIN NEUNABER Another Bethalto graduate who helped weld the ’44-’45 team together. He played center and did a “bang-up” job considering some of the tall boys he played against. AL GREEN Tall, blonde kid that came through many times with his rebounding power. Chick was our blind man but he could see well enough to make the ball swish the net. BILL GRAY The lefty from Bethalto who did a very good job of getting the ball through the hoop. Bill played left forward and really held his own when the going was tough. CHUCK TONER The junior who really came through strong. Chuck is the most promising prospect for next year and he should really come through. HAROLD BARKER The reserve that came through in the District Tournament. Hal had the height that was sorely missed on the Roxana squad. FRED BERRY The senior who received at last his letter. Fred has been out and worked hard and has had the fighting spirit always needed. EUGENE BERGHOFF The other squad member from Bethalto who didn't play much but really had the stuff and helped out when needed. JOE BEAN A rugged guard who will help out next year if the draft board says its O.K. GLEN BEAN A junior who should help the squad of next year plenty due to his height and basketball ability. GEROLD STEFFEN One of the prospects for next year that can hit the basket with considerable accuracy. LEIGHTON LEFLER A speedy junior who will help out next year due to his ability and cleverness. Twenty-nine TRACK SQUAD Roxana, spoiled by excellent track teams the three years before, had to content itself wtih building a squad for the 1944 spring season. Four stars—Taulbe, Freezeland, McDonough, and Lucas, from whom Coach Robison expected many points were in the service of Uncle Sam. If they would have been able to compete for R.C.H.S., we would have had a track team we could be very proud of. Ken Longman was high scorer for the year, collecting 51J4 points. Roxana won their opening dual meet from Bethalto, then fell to second place in the triangular meet with Lebanon and Bethalto, with Lebanon nosing them out by two points. Alton took the Shells in a dual meet but the Shells fought back and took second in a three-way meet with Edwardsville and Collinsville. Roxana then lost a triangular meet with Western Military and Bethalto. The Shells took fifth place in the District and sent two men to state—Ken Longman in the broad jump and Eugene Beard in the high jump. The Roxana junior track team held their own and won the Dupo Invitational the third year in a row. They also won a triangular meet with Collinsville and Edwardsville.

Thirty-two STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council has sponsored many things this year. Although little has been heard of the council, it should not go unsung. A few of the many things that they have done are: sponsor the sale of war stamps, send the “ROX” to boys in the service, give two all-school parties, sell milk in the lunch room at noon, adopt a new student council constitution, sell pencils printed with a schedule of all the basketball games, and sponsor the printing of programs and score sheets of the games. The council consists of thirteen members. Four seniors—Jim Sawyer, president; Marcella Neunaber, secretary; Fred Berry, June Brown; three juniors—Chuck Toner, Eugene Steffens, Shirley Camp; three sophomores—Gerry DeWester, Barbara Lamb, Don Hubbard; three frosh—Betty Bledsoe, Tom McLain, and Norvel Mills. We wish to thank the student council for the splendid work they have put forth this year and for being the most active of all the student councils. Seated, left to right: Marcella Neunaber.

Thirty-five SPOTLIGHT “The paper must come out,” has been the slogan of the staff this year. Many times students and sponsor have slaved to get it out on time and the paper didn’t miss an issue. Sometimes it was belated but it came out. Under the supervision of Miss Black and Miss Taylor the staff has gained much knowledge and experience in gathering and handling news for a newspaper. Doris Hoffman gave a fine performance as editor-in-chief by keeping the SPOTLIGHT in business. Seated, left to right: Betty Lou Cox. Mary Redd, Jackie Geren. Doris Hoffman.

Thirty-six DRAMATICS CLUB The Dramatics Club was not very active this year because of other activities. Miss Seltzer, the sponsor, did a good job of organizing and keeping the club together even though it remained inactive. The Club was to put on the play, “The Mad Hatters,” but because of football and basketball it remained unproduced. Heading the Thespians was Don Harvick, president; Elma Brown, vice-president; Mary Redd, secretary; and Janet Childers, treasurer. Seated, left to right: Betty Ritter, Dorothy Demon. Betty Lou Cox.

Thirty-seven HOME ECONOMICS CLUB While other clubs were busy having a good time the Home Ec Club girls were busy working and slaving away to their pleasure. They served at several banquets and prepared lunch for a few days and they helped at the Junior-Senior banquet in the spring. The purpose of the Home Ec Club is to give the girls a different knowledge of Home Economics and to give them social companionship. Led by Yvonne Overby and Dorothy Mitchell, the club has been one of the outstanding clubs in the school’s extra-curricular activities. First row. left to right: Ramona Franklin. Marjorie Durell.

Thirty-eight CAMERA CLUB Though it is the smallest club in the school, the Photography Club has not been altogether inactive. The members took, developed and printed pictures for themselves and other students. Their activities, however, were limited because of the scanty supply of paper and film which were available. The club has a well equipped dark room in the science room where they spend their after-school hours working for the good of photography. Mr. Floyd and Mr. Huck helped the members learn the art and kept damage and waste of equipment and materials down to the minimum. First row. left to light: Charles Wilson. Fred Berry, Jean McLain.

Thirty-nine BAND Every morning at 8 o’clock a group of students have dragged themselves to school. Sleepily they congregate in the band room and begin to cultivate their knowledge of music. Many times a hot boogie-woogie piece has issued forth to attract other music lovers to the basement corridor. The band has bloomed this year and we are pleased with the blossom. At many games the band has played and it was present for the District Tournament held at Roxana. Several times during the year the band played for Shell banquets. Mr. Stout is given thanks for the work of the band. Even the band members feel it was worth an hour less sleep to attend band at 8:00 a. m. Susanne Rusk In. Dorothy Bartels.

Forty-one PRINTING CLUB This is not exactly a club but a shop practice class in printing. The few boys who wish to learn the art of printing join the club and learn job printing. The boys meet twice a week from 7 to 9 and hold a regular class. Under the leadership of Mr. Frey, the boys learn to set type, run the printing machine, and to do various kinds of job printing. Altogether the class consists of eight boys who seem to be eager for knowledge. During the year the boys did small jobs of printing for the office and school. They printed programs for the programs held at school and for the tournament. Left to riRht: Arnold McClellan, William Groves, Bobby Lee Hay, J. D. McBride, Charles Wade, Paul Berry. Mr. Frey.

You of the Senior Class have now attained that place. You will now commence to face life. We offer our congratulations on your academic achievements. You have learned a great deal and your experiences have been broadened to equip you for the future. But it’s not what you’ve learned or where you’ve been, but where you’re going that counts. So, as you commence to live, what are you looking for in the years ahead? What do you want from life? We believe all right-thinking Americans desire several things: First, a family; second, a steady solid job to provide for the future security of that family. If you have these things, you will become a respected citizen and a credit to your community. We in Owens-Illinois talk about these things because we know about security. We have spent years of hard creative work building and expanding a solid secure business with a future. Here in Alton, Owens Illinois has the largest glass container plant in the world and over one-third of the individuals in this plant have been with the company from ten to sixty years. The record speaks for itself; it means these people have found security in Owens-Illinois’ programs of group insurance, retirement income, vacation plans, suggestion system, recreation facilities, safety, ideal working conditions and the considerate and fail-treatment of each individual. Owens-Illinois and its people take just pride in the achievements being made through improved equipment, technique and scientific research to improve the manufacture and secure the future of Duraglas containers. Owens-Illinois, like you. is just commencing on a new era. We have in common our past training and experience and a promising future lies ahead of us both.
