Hanson Superintendent of Rock Island Public Schools The past year has been an es¬ pecially active and progressive one for the Rock Island Board of Edu¬ cation. Besides performing its re¬ gular duties, such as maintaining buildings and ordering textbooks, it assumed the additional task of supporting a $2,800,000 school bond issue, the largest one ever passed in the city’s history. It is of special importance to Rocky High since $1,800,000 of the total amount has been designated to finance an en¬ largement of the high school. Rock Island citizens can be justly proud of ther excellent school sys¬ tem which results from the con¬ stant efforts of their active super¬ intendent and the Board of Edu¬ cation. board of education 18 Keeping the Wheels of Education Moving “Here’s an announcement just slipped under the door.” This comment, familiar to all Rocky students, is frequently voiced over the public address system to all senates by Charles O. Austin, Jr., as he makes the daily announcements. This is just one of his many and varied duties, as Mr. Austin is responsible for the organization, supervision, and ad¬ ministration of the school. Serving Rocky for five years, he has helped im¬ measurably to make it one of the finest in Illinois. Mr. Austin gives his daily news cast Principal of Rock Island Senior High School Charles O. Austin, Jr. 19 principal Dean Florence J. Liebbe spends much of her time coun¬ seling girls. Her many duties in¬ clude aiding students in planning for the future, orienting sopho¬ more girls, and taking charge of the general student welfare and its administration. She also has charge of arranging the social calendar. Miss Florence J. Liebbe Dean of Students, Girls’ Counselor Deans Guide in Plans for the Future Herbert L.

Senate Improves School Relations Presiding over the weekly Senate meetings are Judith Rossow, Vice- president; Thomas Anderson, presi¬ dent; and Judith Nelson, secretary. Democracy was in action here as the Senate met to discuss school prob¬ lems, put approval on charity drives, sponsor dances, and, in general, act upon matters of interest and concern to the entire student body. senate 30 Rock and roll music kept toes tapping as the top tunes were heard daily in the cafe¬ teria. The senate committee, consisting of Thomas Dasso, Judith Rossow, Elizabeth Mc- Knight, Kay Gaylord, and Thomas Tingle, played the re¬ cords each noon over the PA system. For the second year, as a Senate sponsored courtesy, the playing of records provided music in the cafe¬ teria during lunch hour. Printed menus were also furnished free. Regular Senate duties were choos¬ ing cheerleaders, selecting outside assemblies, and buying pictures for the halls with the Senate in¬ come from vending machines, Homecoming button sales, and other sources. Senate representatives were sent to the Quint-City Student Council each month and to the District Stu¬ dent Council held this year at Ma¬ comb. New activities were recommend¬ ing four juniors to the American Field Service for a trip abroad, phoning voters to help pass the bond issue for a building addition, and initiating a Merit Award for outstanding achievement in nearly every field of endeavor at Rocky. 31 senate Front row: Patricia Houston, Diane Lundgren, Carolyn Wilson, and Barbara Henderson.

In the sports world they took top po¬ sitions, emerging with a 5-3 record in football and turning in fine performan¬ ces in basketball, baseball, tennis, golf, wrestling, and track. Leading them on was the quintet which had once been the sophomore cheerleaders, Deanna Barnes, Donna Barnes, Janet Feirn, Joy Kim- mel. and Joyce Scott. The talented actors and speakers a¬ mong the seniors did outstanding work in the Dramatic club, senior class, and Speech II plays, entered speech contests, and debated. Three girls who will never forget the 1955 Homecoming are Queen Joyce Scott and her attendants, Clare Thomas and Janet Strayer. The outgoing class had a busy time singing, playing musical instruments, putting out a newspaper and a school yearbook, and taking scholarship tests until those last few weeks when the Ju¬ nior-Senior Prom and graduation exer¬ cises signaled the close of their careers at Rocky High. officers Gerald Adams Robert Albery Terence Aldrich George Alongi Anita Anderson Erika Beth Anderson Sharlene Anderson Thomas Anderson Frank Apple Gerald Arzdorf Jayne Atkinson Kay Atkinson By Fanning the Flame of Knowledge Robert Bahnsen Catherine Baker Eugene Balliu James Bance Deanna Barnes Donna Barnes Bonita Barnett Susan Beardslee Patricia Bebber James Behrens Fred Benson Penny Benson Ray Berberich Marvin Bergwall Prudence Bileddo 35 seniors John Bladel Jerald Bledsoe Lynne Bloomberg Judy Boetje Lucille Bolt David Botts Shirley Boyd Darline Boysen Deanna Brady Marlys Bright Beverly Brooks Donald R.

Rock Island’s football success was boosted by 13 junior boys who received their major letters. In basketball, Jeffrey Conn, James Draper, Larry Dunlap, James Flowers, and Wayne Shellhouse helped to spark “the fighting five.’’ Judith Katz won first place with her original oration in the “I Speak for Democracy” contest. She re¬ ceived a $100 US savings bond as her prize. The Speech II play, “Love Is Eternal,” consisted of a cast made up chiefly of members from the junior class. The junior class play this year was “I Remember Ma- ff ma. Judith Nelson held the position of secretary of the Senate, an hon¬ or which has seldom been given a junior.

A mixer dance in the fall gave the sophomores an opportunity to get ac¬ quainted with each other. From then on, they showed true school spirit by mass representation in club enroll¬ ment, by participation in assemblies, and by winning a pep rally contest now and then. This constant show of pep, led by cheerleaders Marcia Collins, Mary Ellen Daniels, Nancy Headley, Mari¬ lyn McMillin, and Janet Schuster, plus a determined football team accounted for the capturing of the Northwest conference sophomore championship. The younger set can feel proud of their achievements during this forma¬ tive year. 66 sophomore officers Front row: Mary Allen, Juanita Bales, Beverly Bainter, Judith K.
