They have had to deal with the questions of youth in wartime, and the responseof the students has proven their decisions commendable. The members of the board have de- voted their time and energy in securing new teachers, planning new orientation courses and dealing with financial mat- ters. It is up to them to make sure that each student gets the most out of his high school education so that he will be better prepared for his future. EARL H. HANSON N r- General,' is an appropriate title for Owen B. Wright. Besides being com- manding officer for Rock Island High School, he also offers his helpful advice to all soldiers stationed under him who need assistance in pre-induction planning. When it comes to boosting morale, Miss Florence Liebbe, dean of girls, really sets an example. Besides giving friendly advice to all girls, she cor- responds regularly with many of her former students now in the service. Another great writer of letters to service men is E. S. Metcalf, dean of boys. Although loving to tease, he pre- sents a sound point of view when the occasion calls for it and is greatly ad- mired by all. 7acultq Harold V. Alrnquist, B.A. David J.

This is the governing Q body which deals, to a certain extent, with the problems and V wishes of the students and the faculty. During the eleventh period on Mondays, twice a month, the 'N Q students and faculty discuss freely and openly the different -,5 ,N questions. Some of the discussions might concern traffic in the halls, school parties and other similar subjects. , The members of the Senate are elected by the students. One person from each senate room is .selected to be a Senator. Pins, depicting a large HS, are given to each Senate member. -- 15 i ...f mm , -f':i.',,.1., H...-1 295' ,,, ,,..v Jil rf' ., f f 'f ju , fa-V' - f JV' . ,,.- ,W- 1, J X If D ff fffqr fm0,.,,,r ' , aff:- ,4 ' ,f ' X ' ,x 4-Y mrs,-u ,fd ,- ,Mfr ,,,'f- ,fx If . ,N-H ,ff ,,..f - .fff 10 ff' EE F,-f M,,,.H' W . 1 , L---' lr, ,, 1 I HJ ,,.,-1' b U f mf' x A . .

To the Rock Island High School chapter of the National Honor Society of 1943 were elected these 40 seniors. Strong leadership, outstanding character and high scholastic rat- ings brought this honor to these students. During their years at Rocky High the goal of these students has been to do all they could for THEIR school, not only in the scholastic field but in all the various activities offered. including music, drama, journalism, speech, forensics, science, athletics and the social clubs. These seniors were elected to the society by a vote cast by the students in the upper third of the senior class. The final decisions were made by a faculty committee. J. Sulser. XV. Millett, A. Bolinger. H. Schultz, D. Rodgers. W. The Senate made the National Honor Society a part of Rock Island High School in 1937, and since that time one-tenth of every senior class has been admitted to membership. These leaders from Rocky High will be lead- ers out of Rocky High!

This class has contributed to both our varsity teams, and their material insures a bright future for Rocky High sports. Even a siege of measles couldn't keep the junior class down. After a post- ponement of one week, the class play, Ever Since Eve, was a tremendous success. New courses are being made available for next year's seniors. Girls are offered pre-nursing and even printing courses. The boys have pre-flight, meteorology and electricity courses at their command. Yes, the class of ,44 stands ready for the future! ..35... R.

One of the acts with a lot of audience appeal was a chorus of boys dancing the Can Can. The girls really wowed the students. A military dance, various solos and tricks completed a well-rounded pro- gram. X1 w 5 ff E pg, ..

Coach Almquist and his rugged grid machine started the sea- son out in fine shape by defeating Davenport 27-0 which was the first Islander victory over the Imps in nine years. This feat plus a 40-0 win over East Moline preceded by a 14- 6 margin over Moline gave the Islanders the Quad-City crown, which accompanied their second straight Northwest conference championship. These three wins gave further glory to the Almquist boys as they became the first Crimson gridders to beat Davenport, Moline and East Moline in the same season. -54- Row 3, 1 to r-B. Yocklin, and J.

Johnston managers '4We, the Rock Island football team, resolve never to lose a game on our own field! This was the spirit that swept the Islanders through six tough home games without letting the opposition cross the Rocky High goal line and which completed a record of two full seasons of holding the foe scoreless in the Crimson bowl. This mark was most notably challenged in the Monmouth game when Jackson broke loose only to be pulled down by Bob Mooney and in the East Moline tilt when Jim Holland desperately leaped onto Nickerson. Another part of the team's spirit worth mentioning was the fine attendance marks at practices set by practically every boy who was out. -55?

EAST MOLINE gave the fans plenty of thrills, but the Rocks steamed on to a 40-O win. Yokas' interception, Viren's re- verse, Hines' plunge and Gordon's smash proved too much for the Hilltoppers. Rocks touchdown for touchdown. ST. J OSEPH'S gridders gave all they had, but that wasn't enough to stem the tide of six Crimson touchdowns and six extra points by Gordon which added up to a 42-0 win. MOLINE scored first on a pass in the initial quarter, but Rock Island came back by air and land in the second and third periods for a well-earned 14-6 victory. GALESBURG proved to be the fifth vic- tim of the Islander grid machine at the Streak's town. Gordon passed once to Hol- land and Russ for tallies and drove over once himself with Dasso counting on a blocked punt.

V. Almquist, after a successful foot- ball season, banded together a team of Islander cagers and guided them over a 22-game trail. The Crimson shooting lads didn't fare as well as the grid eleven, but it made every opponent realize that they had been in a battle. Rock Island finished in a fifth place tie with Monmouth in the N o r t h w e s t conference and fourth position in the Quad- City loop. The Rocks lost six conference games by a total of only 15 points which shows that every opponent had to work doubly hard for a victory. The Islander quintet started out with a bang. After taking DeWitt into camp 33-15, the Rocks visited Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where the y defeated Franklin and Roosevelt. Home again, they blasted Monmouth 33-20 and then whipped Gene- seo for their fifth straight win. DeWitt 15 ...... ...... Franklin 24 .... ..... Roosevelt 18 ..... ..... Monmouth 18 .... . .... .

After losing to East Moline, they buried Clin- ton 50-35 and then clipped Pekin, 31-29. All through the season the Islanders were looked upon as a surprise outfit. The stronger the opposition, the better showing the Rocks presented. A 43-41 overtime loss to Davenport, a 35-33 scare given Moline and a freezing of- fense that almost upset Kewa- nee were some thrilling Island- er contests. Jim Holland, senior, led the 1942-43 cage squad. Jim played center and forward the first of the season and then switched to his old guard spot. Jack Miers, a fighter, and Bob Watkins, a classy ball handler, held down outcourt positions. J imAMurphy and Larry Gerber possessed good basket eyes. These five seniors will be missed next sea- son. Boys who will continue to carry the Islander victory flag are Jerry Russ, a rugged cen- ter, Willie Hines, a fast-footed guard, John Ahl, a sharp-eyed forward, Tom Wich, a much improved forward, Mark Buck- rop, a push-shot specialist, and Archie Wein- druch, a good defensive man. Here's hoping we'll be in state finals in '44! DeWitt 15-R. I. 33 The Rocks started off the season by trouncing the inexperienced DeWitt squad under the usual first-game conditions such as numerous bad passes and off-balanced shots. Jim Mur- phy sparked the team with nine timely mar- kers. Franklin 24-R. I. 32 ' After standing up the entire trip and arriv- ing in the Franklin gym 15 minutes before playing time, the Rocks narrowly managed to pull a victory out of the fire. Rock Island played without even warming up. M fl 'If Q Q..j',31.'. .l1Mii'5 ffi ' K My ,.g5g2a. 3u gg - ., ,.- .....:. fm ,fsangg -225, i..gm5 ....,, W 1 5s,awi-we .i,i ,,..

Davenport 43-R. I. 41 This game was Rock Island's first heart- breaker as they lost in an overtime tilt, 43-41.

A large crop of unexperienced boys reported to mentors Glick and Peterson early in Sep- tember, and at the season's end 42 boys were still drilling daily. Out of this young bunch of sophs will come boys who will fill the shoes of seniors graduated from this yearls varsity. If these sophomore lads show the stuff that they did during the 1942 season, there-will be no need to worry about winning varsity teams for a long time to come. The Little Rocksl' defeated Moline 13-0 in their season's opener and then pushed over East Moline 19-0 on two passes and a 33-yard run. Davenport was next on the Islanders list and were polished off 19-0 with Anderson in- tercepting a pass and going 77 yards for a touchdown. The Iowa Soldier's Orphans Home of Davenport was sunk 21-0, and Galesburg was the fifth Crimson victim, 18-0. The final contest with Davenport ended in a 13-6 Is- lander victory. For the season the Rock sophs scored 147 points to the opposition's 6, the latter touch- down coming with five minutes to go in the final quarter of the last Davenport game. -gg -- Soplwmvre Ka leetball Row 1. 1 to r-G.

Wheelan, B. Clemanns, C. Gripp. L. C. Glick, coach. Coach Lester Glick's sophomore basketball team, that won eight games while losing six during the up and down 1942-43 campaign, was composed of boys that had plenty of iight- ing spirit and drive plus several lads that will be an asset to future varsity quintets with their all-around playing ability. It was the most successful season in the won and lost column since Coach Glick took over his duties six years ago. Glick, who usually has to face the problem of filling the shoes of sophomores that advance to varsity ranks, again had to revamp his line-up after nine con- tests as Jerry Evans, sophomore center, made the grade. Q The Rocks were a home floor club through and through. Out of their eight wins, seven were on their own court while five of the six losses were suffered in foreign gyms. In the Quad-City loop the Crimson outfit placed third While tying for the same spot with Monmouth in the Northwest conference. The Islanders opened the season with a 32-20 win over Monmouth and continued to mop up on East Moline, Clinton, Rock Island reserves, and Kewanee before hitting a 39-26 snag against Davenport for their first defeat. The Rocks lost to Galesburg, but easily polished off the Moline Maroons, 38-23. Monmouth and Kewanee each took one one-point decision, but the Glick-coached men sandwiched a 35-20 East Moline win between the two defeats. Dav- enport fell victim to the Islander's attack by a 36-35 count which made the season worth while. Galesburg eked out a 34-33 win, and in the finale the Rocks lost to a much improved Moline team, 29-22. Lester C. Glick -691 Row 1. l to r-J. Metz, J. Whistler, J. Journey, B. Mooney. R. Burkhead, B.

Just as steak goes with potatoes fbefore meat rationingj so winning track teams are as- sociated with Rock Island High School. In past years it has been the tradition to have topnotch cinder teams and this season proved no ex- ception. Over 40 boys reported to coaches Wal- ter L. Kimmel and Lester Glick, of which 11 were lettermen from last year's seventh place state track squad. With this well-rounded group of boys plus a strong crew of sophomores, the Islanders were definitely tagged as a team to watch. Jim Holland. state champion broad jumper. After a late outdoor start, the Islanders whipped Dubuque and then placed second, five points behind Davenport, in the Blue Devil's own relay carnival. The Rocks, a week later, won the Tri-City meet by a big margin and the following week defeated Davenport, which marked the first time the Imps had been beaten since 1925. The Crimson lads, for the fourth consecutive year, copped the Northwest con- ference title with a score of 69 points, a 20 point margin over Kewanee who placed second. Kneeling l to rAG. Herman, D.

Kim- mel and Lester Glick again was instrumental in manufacturing a winning track team. Dur- ing the season two Rock Island High School records were broken. Jim Holland, all-around colored star, made a new mark in the shot put and Bob E. Downing set a new record in the high, jump. Holland, for the second consecu- tive year, placed first in the state broad jump. Top picture: Mark Buckrop throws the discus. Bottom picture. 1 to r-J. Journey and J. Hoff, 440-yd. dash, J.

In starting off their limited season the girls advanced slowly with several losses, but as the campaign proceeded, they gradually improved to the level of and above their opponents. Their efforts aided the boys in winning the North- west conference. Betty Nelson proved to be the mainstay of the squad as she won second place in the Northwest tourney. Betty fr- was only a sophomore this year and with a little more experience she will un- NJ doubtedly turn into a valu- able team asset. Row 2-C. Laughlin If there, ever was a Rock ,3- Island High School team that could make all of its foes say f uncle, it was the Boys' Tennis team. Coach John Huckins and his sturdy '- squad swept all opposition ...... aside, and with four mem- bers of the crew returning next year it looks like they are in for another successful season. Last spring Ted Hainline, Larry Gerber, Tom Wich and Warren Heimbeck advanced to the state tournament at Champaign as the result of their high rankings in the district meet. In the fall the squad won the Northwest title as Hainline captured the singles' championship, and Gerber and Wich took the doubles' crown. Row 1.1 to rwC. Hanson, D. Rodgers, T. Collins. Row 2-W.

Greenefs Islander Cross Country team wound up in third place in the Northwest conference this year following the strong teams from Kewanee and Moline. -73 The Crimson runners compiled 59 points for the third berth on a second by Russel Sum- merhayes, a ninth by Bill Slattengren, a thir- teenth by Wally Greve, a seventeenth by Jim Journey and the eighteenth position by Calvin Roy. Cross Country is not only offered as an in- teresting sideline sport, but it is also an ex- cellent conditioner for the tracksters. Golf, definitely not one of the spectator sports at Rocky High, nevertheless draws some very accomplished boys who are always in the thick of the Quad-City and Northwest conference title races. Last fall Coach J. R. Clark's ls- lander team placed second behind Cralesburg in the Northwest loop and defeated every op- ponent once except a strong Davenport team. The squad was composed of nine boys during the fall campaign and eight in the spring se- mester. Charles Carll, a steady golfer, was lost to the team for the second half of the season as he graduated in March. Other members of the squad include Bob Carey, Bob Duncan, Bill Eblen, Joe Sesbeau, Phil Smith, Marlyn Daubert, Sam Carlino and Hugh Kettering. Row 1. 1 to r-B. Duncan, P. Smith, C. Caril. Row 2-R.

This has been made possible to Rocky High girls through the Girls' Athletic Associa- tion. This club, sponsored by Miss Elizabeth Samkowski, is made up of a large portion of Rocky's more athletically-inclined ferns. The club members may earn points and thus win letters and pins in the club. Points are granted on the basis of the actual number of hours spent on an unorganized activity during a stated period. A weiner roast highlighted the first meeting of the fall semester, which was held at Black- hawk State Park. Among the many parties given this year by the G. A. A. were a skating party and a Co-ed party with boys taking part. Another feature was a breakfast hike. The G. A. A. Board held some of their meet- ings as pot-luck suppers and occasionally topped them off with bowling. The officers of the club, together with the managers of the various sports sponsored by the G. A. A., make up the Board which plans many of the organi- zation,s activities. G. A. A. Board: Row 1. 1 to r-E, Sweeney, C. Karr, M. Joseph, M. Pfeifle. Row 2-V, Abramson. F. Curry, C. Boquet, B.

This club sponsored a quiz program in which members of the student body of Rocky High participated. Defense stamps were given as prizes. At their special Christmas meeting which was held in the form of a chili supper, the girls packed boxes for soldiers stationed at the Rock Island Arsenal. Many meetings found the girls working on scrapbooks for soldiers, sailors and marines in hospitals all over the world. Top Picture 1 Row 1. 1 to r-J. Hayes, E. Cutkomp, C. Burns, J. Reddig. G.

Keeping in mind its motto, Follow the trail, and its pur- pose, which is to unfold to its members the fascinating lore of Rock Island's history with spe- cial emphasis on Indians, Rocky High's largest club has just completed another successful year. The Blackhawk Tribe is one of the busiest and most promi- nent organizations in school. Meetings are held every other Tuesday in the Activity Wig- wam where an interesting pro- gram and plentiful refresh- ments are always to be found. In addition the Tribe council meets every Thursday morning with Mr. Martin, one of the fac- ulty sponsors. i L Cleveland. Showing a definite flair for business ability, the Tribe again had charge of the concession stand at all home football games. Judging from many chance remarks, the industri- ous Indians hit a new high, not only in financial success, but also in courtesy and efficiency. The high spot of the Tribe season was the Christmas party where the new members were initiated. The time was spent in dancing, playing games and learning the Tribe's war chants, dances and traditions. The party was climaxed by a feast fit for old Chief Black Hawk himself. - Tribe council, 1. to r.--C. Karr, keeper of the birch bark and Wampum: E. Erickson, sachemg D. Crossen, M. Mil- lett, E.

And so, many meetings found the girls devot- ing much of their time to the making of stupe wringers for the Red Cross and the making of Scrapbooks for soldiers in hospitals.

This club also sponsored various social func- tions such as potluck suppers, a Christmas tea and the annual style show.

The Boys' Hi-Y is Rocky High's only strictly male or- ganization. It is one of the most popular and active clubs in the school. The Boys' Hi-Y meets every two weeks at the Y. M. C. A. After a pot-luck supper and a business meeting, the time is usually spent listening to a speaker or enjoying a swim. The Boys, Hi-Y is closely affiliated with the local Y. M. C. A. and, consequently, its mem- bers try to live up to the fine standards of good fellowship and high ideals which the HY has set up. The club is governed by its four officers and a cabinet of twelve members. The Boys, Hi-Y is led by Mr. L. V. Burch, Boys, Work Sec- retary of the Rock Island Y. M, C. A., and Mr. John Huckins, faculty advisor. +82- Juniors and seniors keep out! This club is for sophomores only! The club aims to pro- mote a spirit of friendship among the sopho- mores and to help them become better ac- quainted with the school, students, teachers and activities. This club has been in existence since 1923 when it was organized as the sophomore di- vision of the Junior English Council, but in 1926 the name was changed to Alpha, mean- ing Hbeginningf' The original purpose of the Alpha Club was to teach parliamentary law.

This and many other strange bits of conversation have been heard around Rocky High halls during the last year. Members of the Spanish club QSpanish stu- dentsj have been making a practice of reciting five or more sentences in Spanish each day. Miss Caloine is convinced that this helps the students to become more fluent in their speak- ing of Spanish. The Hpenaltyw for not reciting these sentences is a penny for each time missed. At the end of the month the money is collected and sent to the Red Cross. Meetings of the Spanish club are held on the first and third Wednesdays of each monthg one is a cultural meetingg the other, a social one. Cultural meetings are mainly devoted to in- teresting current events, items about Spain and South and Central America. The social meet- ings are in an entirely different vein. At these meetings, which are held during class time songs are sung, records played and stories told, all in Spanish. 7 Spanish revistas fmagazinesj and periodicos Qnewspapersj help make these social meetings more interesting. The movie i'Carmen,l' which is entirely in Spanish with English sub-titles, was only one of the projects enjoyed by Spanish club mem- bers this year. Together with the French club this group bought a radio for the Romance languages' department. The money for this radio was raised by the students themselves. Row 1. l to r-G. Toppin R. Harms, V.

Pan Nmerican league To promote good will among the Americas through understanding the problems of our South and Central American neighbors is the chief aim of the Student Pan American league. Sponsored by Miss Malvina Caloine, this group has studied the religious, political and business aspects as well as the social and cultural views of the Americas. The Rock Island branch of the Student Pan American league is only one of many in this country and is now in its third year of activity. xxx s 5 I i I l is -861 QGHW Q0 WW 5 .,. Top picture.

During the past year, Pan American mem- bers have conducted a very successful book drive. All members contributed as many old books as they could. These books of many age ranges were sent to a school library in Co- lombia. In addition to this, the members sold candy in order to buy four new books for the Colombian students. In return the Colombians are to send their books to students at Rocky High. Row 1. l to r-R. Jagger, H. Rushton, J. Graham, A. Jannes, J. Lavender, M. Richeson, D. Wiedenhoeft. Row 2-B. Baron, V.

The chief course of study of the Pan Amer- ican league during the last year has been the Pan American Highway. This served as the topic of discussion at many of the meetings. It has also been presented in the form of movies and lectures, which were given by the members without any outside help. One of the advantages of knowing about the A Rocky High institution for over 20 years! The French club, under the sponsorship of Miss Malvina Caloine, has a record of which to be proud.

At the present there are eight girls in this organization who serve one period each day. They are allowed to study during this time, but they must always be on their toes in case of an emergency. The girls are chosen for their responsibility and capability, and for the past six years this organization has shown its complete worthi- ness. Seated l to r-S. Butts. R. Greene, M. Liekefett, D.

So, too, did the business staff of the 1943 WATCH TOWER have to comply with this change. The advertising staff did not find it an easy job this year, sell- ing ads to businessmen of Rock Island, Moline and Davenport because of the higher prices and scarcity of merchandise to sell. The circulation staff did very Well in its initial campaign. Ben Shlaes was out in front with 130 annuals sold while Stella Grevas was second highest. Following the resignation of Bill Krueger, Jim Hall efficiently filled the position of business manager.

Several times during the past year when the presses broke down, the print shop boys have stayed at their presses during assembly in or- der that the Crimson Crier might come out on time. Some of the boys make one and two colored stationery for themselves, and 'seniors print their own graduation cards. The boys also learn how to bind books. The boys in the print shop take turns in us- ing the various machines, and in the course of the year they learn to operate all of them. In this way every printer can take a job through all the stages, from the time it is brought into the shop until it is delivered. Nm 5? W E y Speech he ?ool Left to right-M. Johnston, D. Rodgers.

This starkly, real- istic drama by Channing Pollock was presented by the senior class on the evening of May 7, 1943. Gilchrist is a young minister who is constantly fighting to obtain justice for the common worker. Seated 1 to r-D. Gipple, B. Appier, F. Baker. R. Renck D. O'M 1' . e ia Standing-J. Soady, C.

Although he is aware of the fact that he will be put out of the church and will lose the woman he loves, Gilchrist denounces the methods of several of his wealthy church patrons. He then goes to Overcoat Hall where most of the people will not believe in him because they misunderstand his intentions. During a meeting at Over- coat Hall a riot is incited by labor agi- tators. An angry mob descends on Gil- christ and his meager number of friends. At a point when only a mir- acle can save Daniel Gilchrist, faith performs that miracle. The Junior class presented 4'Ever Since Eve, a truly fine comedy. The play centered around the publication of The Penquinf' a high school news- paper, and the headaches and heart- aches of the staff. Johnny Clover fThe- odore Hainlinej is editor of The Pen- quin, and Spud Erwin fCharles Bowl- byj is his assistant. The teacher fMar- velle Greggj decides that Susan Blake fBettie MclVIullinj should help Johnny with the paper. Johnny is one of those boys who hates women and thinks her place is in the home.

Johnny then sees Susan as she is, a cute, smart high school girl. An excellent supporting cast of Sally Cra- bill, Paul Clark, Babette Wagner, Willis Otto, Richard Hansen, William Mosen- felder, Charles Marsh, Jerry Russ, Pat Dahlen and Harry Cleaveland provided much of the invigorating, youthful comedy in this play.

To gain for its members mastery in the art of clear and supported thinking is the purpose of the Forum club, the newest group in the Forensics department of Rocky High. The group performs much research upon, or- ganizes, discusses and presents such varied subjects as, What kind of a world I would like to live in after the War, 'iHow to make the most of our successes and failures and Dangerous propaganda. In spite of its short existence this group has many notable accomplishments to its credit. It has presented programs before the State P. T. A. as well as church, school and civic organi- zations. The club gained national recognition two years ago. It presented a round table dis- cussion over the American School of the Air program on station WBBM, Chicago. The Forum, which is listed in the group of national forums, is under the sponsorship of Mr. P. J. Martin. Meetings, held weekly, are devoted to preparation for broadcasts and other public performances.

A part of the success of the annual fall con- cert of the combined Girls' and Boys' Glee clubs was due to the perfection and mellow- ness of tone of the Rock Island High School Girls' Glee club. This chorus of fifty-seven girls' voices was noted this year, as usual, for their outstanding performances. Under the direction of William G. Rozeboom the chorus presented stirring selections in the fall concert as Well as on several WHBF broad- casts. Among some of their most appealing numbers were UAlice Blue Gownf' Homing, and HLamps of Evening.

The members of the Boys' Glee club together with the Orpheus club fthe boys, division of the Light Opera chor- usj, the Male quartet and various solo- ists participated in 55 performances during the year. Several of the Boys' Glee club per- formances were given over WHBF.

The students in this combined chorus of voices are selected from both Girls' and Boys' Glee clubs. Besides presenting light operalmusic, they have an assortment of religious selections which have been arranged in the form of a religious Evening Prayer. They have pre- sented this program in many churches during the past two semesters. Attired in gay and colorful 'Crimson and Gold costumes, they offered several light opera arrangements in the annual fall concert of the combined Girls' and Boys' Glee clubs. Because of transportation difficulties, unlike last year when they were able to sing in places great distances from Rock Island, the Light Row 3-J. Lear, B. Robb, R. Wetzel, J. Hall, B. Helmel, J.

Opera chorus was unable to accept some re- quests for their presentations outside of the tri-cities. Another group, picked from this Light Opera chorus, appeared in Inspiration of Musical Moods. They presented not only light opera music but also songs such as Stormy Weather and A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melo- dy. 77 J' Q I S 552211.

Berchekas, the Band presented their annual fall and spring concerts. They also gave a command performance at the Rotary club and appeared before the personnel of Camp Rocky High. With a great deal of marching experience behind them, the Band members performed at various football games and thus helped to spur our team on to victory. Helping at the basket- ball games was the trumpet trio, a new feature on this yearls program.
