Getting up after a glorious weekend is murder. Many say that they can ' t wait to get out of high school and others love it. Many Rocky graduates who expressed that they couldn ' t wait to leave have since changed their minds. They don ' t get the benefit of the doubt from teachers. They don ' t have the feeling of being with friends they ' ve known for a long time. Ask any¬ one who ' s a high school graduate and he ' ll tell you that his years in high school were the best of times. We think of Rocky as a place where we re tested, given homework, and forced to obey rules. Try, though, to think about football and basketball games. Homecoming, dances in the cafeteria. Swirl, talking in the halls, dating. Prom, parties, and friends; these things make high school worth remem¬ bering. The class of 1927 had their reunion last summer and many of them hadn ' t bought Watchtowers, but sixty years later they were anxious to obtain that all-impor¬ tant record of their good times at Rocky. Think of your years at Rocky and take note that these are THE BEST OE TIMES. Showing their school spirit are M. Rosner, C. Luellen and h. VanZandbergen. These girls are having the best of times at a Rocky football game. 2 Student Life The first snow at Rocky. Freshmen. Ryan Early and Reba Jackson find their classroom with the help of Mrs. Binn.

Special time Some first times were disasters and we want to forget them as soon as possible; whil e other first times are times we will want to keep with us always. Do you remember that very first day at Rock Island High School? Was walking into school like walking into the Twilight Zone of education? You were filled with excitment and also pure terror. Entering a new phase was scary enough without the worry of the upperclassmen ready to ostracize you. Once the first week was over you found that life at the Rock wouldn ' t be so bad. Do you remember that first really big embarrassing moment? Did it come when you dropped your lunch tray on the floor of the cafeteria with only a million people all turning to stare? Or was it the time you accidently agreed to two dates the same night and both showed up at your door at 7 o ' clock sharp? Perhaps your first was when you caught the football and ran the wrong way down the field making a touchdown for the opponent. Our lives are made up of many First Times, some good and some bad, but they will all linger in our minds many years after we leave Rocky. Student Life 5 Cheerleaders , B. Sager, J. risher, C. Da¬ vid, J. Burgner, S. Flaherty, and B. Smith. Spirit time Go Rocks! Rock Island High School is definitely full of spirit. It might have something to do with the super athletics and fantastic coaches that Rocky has a reputation for. Spirit is a well known tradiion during the Homecom¬ ing week. Whether it be red and gold, hats and shades, nerd and clash, or hawaiin day students here at The Rock are anxious to participate. Basketball season is surely the most spirited time of the year. Recently, Rocky students have formed a group that is devoted to boosting the moral of the entire fieldhouse. Yes, of course, the Fun Bunch. You know the ones that have such cheers as A-Boom- Chic-A-Boom , or You ugly ' ' . The Fun Bunch is un¬ doubtedly full of spirit! There is nothing quite as memor able as high school years, especially when they are filled with school spir¬ it. Backing your school not only helps out the players but also gives the school a nice and respectable reputation of having students that back their school. Come on, let ' s cheer on those Rock Island Rocks. ROCKS Students aren ' t the only ones that have spir¬ it, this bulldog was rooting for Rocky. The teachers prove Just how much spirit they have by building their pyramid. The seniors show their spirit while pulling their winning float. The 1987 Homecoming Court: Scott Shaw, Cyndi Benjamin, Cedric McQee, Julie Payton, Chris Qreen, Princess Michele Young, King Ray Jackson, Queen Jenny Bills, Prince Brad Love¬ less, Marjl Murphy, Ryan Cockerill, Regina Mus- keyvalley. Matt Stem, and Debbie Posaterl. 8 Student Life Brad Loveless and Michele Young received the title of prince and princess this year. Good times Homecoming 1987, as always, was a success at Rocky. The assembly, parade, game and dance were filled with laughter and excitement. The second string cheerleaders gave an outstanding performance. The faculty pyramid proved teachers have a lot of spirit too. A first for Rocky was the best kisser contest, where several stu dents Judged the kisses planted on them. When their blindfolds were taken off they found the kissers to be their mothers! Wipe Out, Jailhouse Rock, and Great Balls of Fire was the combination of songs to which the cheerleaders delighted the audience. The climax of the assembly was the announcement of the 1987 royalty. The parade was great with the seniors and juniors tying for first place float awards. The homecoming game was close and exciting but ended in defeat during the last seconds. Everyone, however, still had a great time at the dance on Saturday night to finish off and make Homecoming 1987 a great success. Student Life 9 Study time Ugh! The homework blues. You feel the need to take all of your books and throw them on the floor of your room and lock the door. To most of us plopping down with a T.V. and a telephone is more exciting than books. Studying, for some people, is new. For the incoming Freshman there are those new, impossible things we like to call finals. That means saving notebooks and going back and learning everything you were sup¬ posed to already know from the past semester. When the year starts out it seems studying is the last thing on everyone ' s minds. But, then the first quarter mid-terms roll around and the fun ends, have you ever noticed that soon after mid-terms are sent that attendance at parties and football games severly drops? Everyone is grounded! During that week or two of solitary confinement there is plenty of time to do your homework. You may come to an amazing realization, studying does actually work! After realizing that studying does reap some benefits hopefully you ' ll catch on and get into the habit of managing your study time and party time. Then, hopefully, you ' ll do all right for the rest of the year, until summer. Like many of us, Kevin Loveless studies in front of the television. 10 Student Life f. Allen, R. Choi, and D. Poole use the film strip projector to help them do homework. Party time Every day before the weekend arrives, students ask one another, Where ' s the party?” Usually you ' ll find one soul brave enough to have a few friends over. Of course, word gets out that there ' s a party and every¬ body knows of it. Instead of having a few friends over he ends up hosting half the population of the Quad Cities. Showing his agility, Craig Mullett does a somersault during a party. On a weekend when nobody has a party, students drive around like lost sheep. You ' ll hear the students utter, What do you want to do?” This statement is the kiss of death for Rocky students. After burning up a tank of gas touring Rock Island, most students end up at McDonald ' s. It ' s like an oasis because who wants to go home at 9 o ' clock and watch Crime Story with their parents? Whether it be a party at someone ' s house, a movie at the Cinemas, a hamburger at McDonald ' s, or a dance at school, getting together with friends always is a party time. - � Stuc N. Avgenackis, L. Leithner and R. Diab check the mirror before going to a dance. Gathering at McDonalds are Ted Brunsvold, Ryan Cockerill, Cary David and Sean Flaherty. L. Lee. T. Mart. D. Heitz and J. Dusenberry sit and talk at a weekend party. Student Li Chad Lueilen, Jennifer Young. Rory Burrell, and Louisa Carter think Mr. Benson s class is a party every day. Torn DeFrane and Jenny King dye eggs for their Faster bunny. Joe Dusenberry gives Kelly Fairman and Missy Esparza their turkey for Thanksgiving di nner. Kristin Conover. Kris Farwell. Kari Wynn. Ann Paul Ferguson choose their pumpkins for Hal- Summers, Ryan Cockerill, Alex Munn, and loween at Dingeldiens. Fireworks, over the river, are always wonderful on the Fourth of July. Kris Farwell and holly Barnes wrap presents at the last minute. Holiday time holiday time means vacation time to Rocky students. Two weeks of no school is probably the best present most students get for the favorite holiday of Christ¬ mas. Some holidays lend themselves to the home scene with family and friends. Thanksgiving gave us the opportunity to get together with that special menu. Christmas and Hanukkah are celebrated in many dif¬ ferent ways in various households but the bottom line is usually presents and lots of relatives. Easter is advertised with the bunny and baskets filled with candy but many remember the real reason for this holiday has it roots with the church. Other holidays certainly belong to the friends from school. Halloween just isn ' t a special holiday if you don ' t spend it at the haunted houses with those you love to see scream. What could Valentines Day possi¬ bly be for except telling that special someone that you really do love them. Ryan Cockeril! and Brent Smith buy roses for their sweethearts on Valentine ' s Day. However, whenever, or with whomever you spend them, HOLIDAY TIMES are some of the best times too. Student Life 15 Special times A walk in the fall leaves holding hands with that special person, a secret at your locker in the hall, that first time behind the wheel of Dad ' s car alone, those Sunday afternoon football or basketball games with the guys ' ' are all special times that you will remember for many years to come. But special times should include those days in the classroom when it was announced that you received the highest grade on the test, when the teacher sin¬ gled you out and said you had the best idea of any student all day. Tor others the special time was when Everyone Writes At Rocky was handed out and your writing was there. Special times are the best of times! They are the moments that you will cherish and remember many years down the road when you no longer live at home or go to Rock Island High School. Tall color is a special sight going over the Milan bridges. Student Life 17 Work time WORK. Does the thought of it make you a little quea¬ sy? if so, you ' re not alone. Many students at Rocky have part time jobs, some work enough hours to even be considered working full time. Although working does have its drawbacks it has benefits too. A lot of students with jobs often complain that they have to work on weekend nights. Their paychecks, however, often come in handy on nights off for trips to the Cinemas or a pizza. A little extra money never hurt anyone. Working, however, goes beyond a job. Many of us have jobs at home that take up a lot of our time, homework is a lot of work that we always have to do. Many of our parents assign us jobs around the house. Washing dishes, vacuming, and dusting, seem to be popular tasks but under different circum- satances, like 1987, shoveling snow, lots of it, comes into the picture. In any case, although we may not necessarily like work it ' s a price we pay for the Best Times. Washing dishes is always fun for Amy hel- penstell. Cleaning up her car during the winter months can only be considered work as far as Ann Sum¬ mers is concerned. 18 Student Life Many students exercise during their extra This Applied Economics class realized that ex¬ time each day. tra in this class could mean a good time. Like many students, Alex Munn will have to use his extra time to clean up the little gift left by friends. 20 Student Life Any Time Many of us, after doing all of our homewo rk, often have time on our hands. This time is usually spent with friends, watching TV, out at the mall or with our families. Everything that we do during these times falls into the category. Any Time. This extra time that we sometimes have usually turns out to be the best of times. One thing that many Rocky students were involved in this year was the First Annual Water Volleyball Tournament. Things were a little wild at the beginning but all of the partici¬ pants soon got involved and it turned into a fierce competition, but a lot of fun. Another thing that many of us often do with extra times, but few of us will admit to, is toilet papering friends houses. It often adds some challenge and excitment to a night where not much is going on. We do lots of things as teenagers which make these the Best of Times. Many memories we will keep with us are those that were established in the part of our lives known as Any Time. The water volleyball winners were: P. Young- quist, B. Smith, T. Thoms, M. Wright, C. Coo- lidge, M. Stem. Student Life Show Time Lights! Camera! Action! It ' s show time, one of the facets in making these the Best of Times. Mow many times have we each been to the Cinemas on a Friday night with friends or a date? Hundereds? Yet every time it ' s always exciting to see a new movie or, maybe one of your all time favorites. We will also remember the concerts. Many of us went to see our favorite groups in concert. Many students went and saw The Beastie Boys, U2, Whitesnake, The Fat Boys, Heart, Club nouveau, and anything else you may have caught on their way through Iowa or Illinois. The concert scene is always a great time to be with friends, to share in the fun. Other very special times are those productions put on within Rocky. Being a part of a play or a concert, or watching a friend make being a part of Rocky fun to many students. Show time makes these years the Best of Times so. Lights!, Camera!, and most of all. Action! Building scenery is a large part of putting on productions at Rock Island High School. Brett Johnson and Sheri fiaess show their agil¬ ity for a little showing off. A familiar sight shows the great selection of movies to be found for Rocky students. Starring in the 1987 fall play were Jenny Bills, David Meitz, and Beth Miles. Student Life 23 News review News is only news to those which it is relevant. As Rocky students returned to school last August they were faced with scorching heat reaching 105 degrees; by January the temperature had dropped 120 degrees to a low of-15. And while news of the weather was more noticed by Rocky students, we also reacted to the news of the rest of the world. As the year began, the world was introduced to a somewhat misguided patriot named Oliver North. North and several other top executives, probably including the president, sold weapons to terrorist Iran and then diverted the profits to anti-govemment rebels in Nicaragua. Adultery became a hot issue thanks to Gary hart, Jim Bakker, and Jimmy Swaggart. According to Jessica Hahn, she just wanted to get closer to God. The world ' s top hot spots included Nicaragua, Beirut, and the Persian Gulf. American diplomats were kept busy with their shuttle diplomacy all year and still did not accomplish much. While the Minnesota Twins were wrapping up a World Se¬ ries victory, NFL players were wrapping up contract negotia¬ tions. Washington blew out Denver in the Super Bowl. To the surprise of many local football fans, the Augustana streak was stopped. Canada ' s Ben Johnson made a streak of a different sort, becoming the fastest human in history. The Quad-Cities was underwhelmed by Thunderboat Rac¬ ing, but we thrilled to a Thunder of another kind in the form of CBA Basketball. Robert Bork found himself dropped in the middle of a media battlefield. After many months, and another rejected nominee, Anthony Kennedy was finally accepted as the next Supreme Court Justice. In an attempt to keep up with Soviet outwardness, the Pr esident met with Mikhail Gorbachev and organized a sub¬ stantial missile reduction treaty. The U.S. did not fare as well in Calgary, facing the Soviet Union in the winter Olympics for the first time in eight years. Americans brought home only six medals while the Soviets grabbed an overwhelming 29. Baby Jessica was rescued from the bottom of a well and opened America ' s heart and pursed to help she and her parents through the long ordeal. The Stock Market hit rock bottom, sending speculations of a second depression. Although the American economy faced problems the rest of the year, those rumors never occurred. Michael Jackson released his first album in several years and soon everyone thought he was bad”. According to Rolling Stone magazine, U2 took the spot the Rolling Stones have held for ten years, becoming the greatest band in the world. As winter appeared, so did the presidential candidates, all 14 of them. They all hit the campaign trail; some grew stronger, some dropped out, and some dropped out and got back in. No matter what the news. Rock Island High School lis¬ tened, but remainded relatively unaffected. We enjoyed life in our own world, achieved goals, and excelled. U.S. Skaters Jill Watson and Peter Oppegard add to the excitement of the XV Winter Olympics. The Quad Cities thrilled to the new CBA team, the Thunder, that played at Molines Wharton Field house. Although Gary hart came back for a second shot at the presidential nomination he soon dropped to the bottom of the polls as many Americans felt his private life ruled out serious consideration for such a high office. 24 World and Local News President Reagan finishes his last year in the Oval Office amid many different controversies. Championship celebrations are always sweet . The Minnesota Twins were the surprise of the year as they beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4 out of 7 games. Winter then found another surprise as the Washington Redskins defeated the Denver Broncos to take the Super Bowl XXII trophy, 4210. World and Local Mews 25 Our Time During our four years at Rocky we accumulate many memories at many different times. But the times that will always remain with us are the ones that are just ours alone. All of us have at least one or two instances that will always be special a first date with someone that has been in your sight, the heart to heart talk with your best friend, or that one little joke that you and one other person share. Graduation is one of the very special times for sen¬ iors. Graduation is the end of special days with friends you ' ve known since first grade and time to make new friends. Graduation is leaving Rocky and going out into the real world. Most of all though, graduation is a great end to four years of memories. Our times are every day of our years at Rocky and they will be remembered long after we graduate from the Rock.

A tough schedule, consisting of four ranked teams, and many unexpected injuries were a couple of the factors that contributed to the Rocks dissa- pointing 3 7 record for the year, how¬ ever, the Rocks managed to finish fourth in the conference with a re¬ spectable record of 2-3. There were, however, several bright spots over the course of the season. Strong-armed quarterback Fontaine Walker was outstanding, throwing for 800 yards. Junior Joe Lawrence was the leading receiver in the conference and Tom Cole was the fifth leading rusher in the Western Big Six. These three, aloncj with defensive specialists Ray Jackson and Cliff Leigh, were named to the all-conference team. In December Coach Bill Burrus re¬ signed his position, he was very fond of the job but wanted more time with his family. Mr. Burrus was well liked by his fans, team members and stu¬ dents and will continue to teach at Rocky. With numerous returning lettermen and a good crop of sophomores com¬ ing up for the next season a new coach will have a great deal of talent to work with and Rockys ' football pro¬ gram might be rejuvenated.

At henriques ' disposal was the largest group of players to ever go out for the squad. Coach Henriques had a good rookie year. The team boasted a 6-9-1 record. Senior leadership was needed for the team and seniors John Fout, Ron Tacey and junior Bill Hudson helped the new coach through his First season.

Soccer 31 It took many long hours of practice for the varsity basket¬ ball cheerleaders to perfect this pyramid. We are ROCKY! Tight on Rock Island win this game, fight for the crimson and the gold . It was our school song and it sym¬ bolized the loyal school spirit of Rock Island High School and its ' cheer¬ leaders. Everyday, from three to five in the afternoon, a group of very important girls gathered to practice. These girls were the 1987-88 Rocky cheerleaders. They were responsible for keeping the spirit of the crowd high at games and leading the team on to victory with moral-boosting cheers. Week night and weekend practices throughout the year created quite a tight schedule for the girls, but the final product was always a peppy smile. Wanting to make the fans in the bleachers roar and add support to the team was always the main priority. Cheerleading is not all fun, it is filled with a lot of time and effort. The hard work and nervousness is often set aside by the memories, glory, and be¬ ing a part of the excitement. Putting on snappy routines for the football sea¬ son are not easy when the weather turns cold and cheerleaders have to look comfortable while freezing. Louisa Carter, Kelly Pairman, Julie Payton and Debbie Cox are on their toes to lead a cheer while the basketball players are getting quick instructions during timeout. The 1987-88 cheerleaders spent many extra hours to perform a very popular dance routine for the homecoming fes¬ tivities. front row: Betsy Bell, Debbie Cox, Kelly Pairman, Lona Mathis, Mi¬ chelle Young, Julie Payton.

Respectable season The boys ' cross-country team had an impressive season and enjoyed many victories. The squad finished fourth at the Conference meet, fourth at Re¬ gional, and took a seventh place fin¬ ish at Sectionals. Qualifiying individ¬ ually for State were Steve Tanner, and Mario Vesey. They finished thirty sec¬ ond and eigth respectively. Mario re¬ ceived all-state honors. The team was very young, consisting of a freshman and three sophomores, two juniors and a senior. With this many returning lettermen, the Run¬ ning Rocks have a bright future ahead of them. A surprise to everyone was the girls ' cross-country team. The team had a mediocre regular season, but was outstanding during the post-season races. The girls were fifth at Region¬ al, fourth at Sectionals, and finished twenty-second at State. All-Confer¬ ence runners Chris Coolidge, a sen¬ ior, and Kristen Keleway, a freshman, were the two top runners for the squad. The team had several obstacles along their way to the State meet, first they had to replace an outstanding runner who played a different sport this sea¬ son; and secondly they had several injuries cursing their best runners. However, the girls ' team overcame these tasks and went on to have a great season. Bang! ' the gun sounds, and the race is underway. Teammates Steve Tanner, Mike Gustafsen, Chris Green, and Mario Vesey clown around before racetime. Pulling away from the pack, Mario Vesey begins a strong finish.

Frosh dominate golf Rocky boys ' golf coach Charles Austin had quite a dilemma on his hands when the season began. How do you prepare four underclassmen for the varsity level? he asked himself. Well, whatever he did it worked. The team started the season 4-1, but then hit a skid and lost four in a row. Overall though, the underclassmen ' s steady and consistent play lead the squad to many victories. Outstanding for the team this year was junior Brett Williams. Although the team didn ' t qualify for sectionals, Brett did and he was only three strokes short of qualifying for state. Hoping he makes the putt. Senior Cary David watches the ball patiently. With the remaining team members and upcoming hopefuls Coach Austin might have a real contending team next season. The girls ' golf team also consisted mostly of underclassmen and first season players. With this consider¬ ation the team had a fairly good sea¬ son. Coach Sue Boeye has high hopes for the 1988 season as the 1987 team was lead by juniors Jenny Bauersfeld, Carrie Shearer and fresh¬ men nicole Schwartz and Kathryn Hass. With this returning strength and experience for the rest of the team we will surely hear much about them. Juniors Carrie Schear and Melisa Seward stare intensely to see the outcome of the putt. Jenny Bauresfeld follows through on her putt, while teammate Micole Schwarz holds the pin. Golf 37 38 Wrestling Dynamic duo to State The wrestling Rocks ended their sea¬ son on a bitter 2-12 dual meet record. Their season didn ' t go without many highlights though the lack of heavy weights hurt the team. The Gay, Vesey combination made the season a copy of last season with both wrestlers dominating their weight class. Co-captain Dennis Vesey pinned his way through Districts and Sectionals before losing in the Sate finals ending his season at 33-2 and placing an impressive third in state. Fellow co-captian William Gay proved himself one of the states best. Sir Wil¬ liam had a perfect 33-0 record before losing in the championship match to take home his second consecutive second place state finish. Erik Gustafson had the next best over all season, piling up 21 wins. His per¬ formances on the mat earned him most outstanding sophomore on the varsity squad. Sophomore Ted Muller and Junior Mario Vesey had good sea¬ sons with Mario earning 16 wins. With the addition of some heavy weights the Rocks hope to improve next year but replacing the Dynamic Duo ' ' will be an impossible task. Once again William Gay stands on top of the victory stand after winning both sectionals and regionals in his weight class. Knowing how to make that sure pin means that Dennis Vesey comes out a winner one more time. Wrestling Team: front row: Terry Morrow.

Three years... one loss Coach Gary Ackerson listed his goals, to win conference, go undefeated in Western Big Six and to qualify at least one person in each event for state. Although not accomplishing every goal both the boys and girls finished the season with a splash. The boys, who went 10 1 for the sea¬ son, lost their first meet in three years to Peoria Richwoods. Outstanding swimmers contributing to the team were Rob Marske, Mike Kramer, Zach Maurus and Tyler Greathouse. The boys ended the season accomplish¬ ing the coaches goals by winning Western Big Six. The Lady Rocks stirred up waves with a 6-3 record. Seniors, Julie Gripp, four year letter winner and Debbie Posateri served as co-captains. Attributing her individual scores was Marji Murphy in diving. Although improvements were made and times dropped none of the girls qualified for state. Tracey Schneider backstroked her way to a t 4 fVJf ' • win for the Lady Rocks. After a tiring race, Debbie Posateri looks on In the 200 freestyle, Rob Marske strokes to for her next competitor. Swimming 41 Time tells the story. Sometimes there s not enough ticks left on the clock-to Moline s dismay and Rocky ' s glee sealing the regional victory. We Are WINNERS! Rocky Wins!!! Two ticks on the clock. Rocky down by one, Ray Jackson with loose ball rebound, skies -goldtending against King Rocky wins! John Barnes scores 3 of his 28 points against Moline in the Regional win. Time hangs heavy on the shoulders of young athletes when there just arn ' t enough ticks left on the clock ensureing victory. Fortunately with Rock Island time was more of a prob¬ lem for Rocky ' s opponents than it was for Coach Reid ' s basketballteers who more often than not Beat the Clock . The Rocks came on strong winning 11 of thei r first 12 contests. January how¬ ever was tough sleding with three losses, all coming at the hands of state ranked teams. But with the sea¬ son winding down. Rocky won its last six contests. Ready for tournament play, the senior led squad gained four more wins, the most important being a classic 46-41 victory over Moline in front of over 6000 fans at Wharton Fieldhouse. The team ' s trademark was quickness, a blend of toughness and patience and five seniors who had played com¬ petitively since seventh grade. Mentria was the floor leader both on defense and offense leading the team in field goal and free throw percent¬ age, assists and steals. John Barnes went on the offense beginning with the Peoria Central game, carrying a plus 20 point per game average dur¬ ing the season s second half and ig¬ niting the team down the tourney trail. Maurice Woods was a demon both on the offensive and defensive boards. Ray Jackson was most versa¬ tile playing well both underneath and out front. Fontain Walker was a mir¬ acle of sorts. Like Jackson he walked off the football field and onto the bas¬ ketball court where he excelled on de¬ fense and under the boards. Barnes gained a berth on the All-State and All-Metro squads. Woods, Mentria and Barnes were all named to the Western Big Six Team. All and all it was an outstanding sea¬ son that will stand the test of time in terms of high school memories. With the final pass and the final shot histo¬ ry, Rocky ran the last seconds off the clock against Moline thus ensuring another shot at tournament play. A tough trapping defense highlighted the Rocky game plan. Mere Maurice Woods and Ray Jackson close in on a loose ball. Boys Basketball 43 The only varsity freshman.

The most improved people this sea¬ son, voted by the teammates, were freshman Tina Schneider who tied with junior Jenny Overturf In spite of the many losses, Coach fred friedrichsen is very pleased with this season. The girls worked hard to improve themselves and at the end of the season every single girl did bet¬ ter routines. Although seniors Beth McDevitt, Lena Lee, and foreign ex¬ change student Andrea Metzner will be gone next year, I hope that we do even better in the following season stated the coach. The balance beam was the speciality of senior Lena Lee at most meets during the season. foreign exchange student Andrea Metzner spent many hours perfecting her skills on the uneven bars. Rocky s top gymnastics members was senior Beth McDevitt. While she was good in all areas of gymnastics the floor exercise was one of her favorites.

The addition of the three point arc made for some additional excitment for the fans but also altered the dimentions of the game consider¬ ably. Tracy Atwater led the team in three point shots with 19 for the season and made four in one game against Mo¬ line. Tracy was selected to the first team All Conference while Keeshe Brooks was selected to the second team. The sophomore girls ended their sea¬ son in third place in the Western Big Six Conference with a 6-4 record. Their over all record was 9-8 which included a forfeit win over Davenport Central. The team saw continued improve¬ ment throughout the season and outscored our opponents 620-602m ab average if 38,8 points compared to 37.6. Annette Diericks led the sopho¬ more team averaging 12 points per game. Things look very good for next sea¬ son. With the improvement of the sophomores and with a complete re¬ turning varsity team Rock Island high School girls ' basketball program should be a force throughout the con¬ ference. Setting herself for the good shot, Tracy Atwater goes unchallenged while Shawn Johnson gets set for the rebound if necessary. Becky Milton covers the high territory while Leading the fast break Tonya Burrage is in Kris Braet covers the low while trying to good position for another Rocky basket, defeat Moline.

Girls Basketball 47 48 T rack Many to state for the third consecutive year the boys track team, coached by John Coolidge, won the Conference meet. Also as usual, the Rocks went to state. Leading the pack down to state was Mr. 400 ' ' Trank Atwater, who had the third fastest 400 yard dash time in the nation. The 400 relay team of Kelan Ritchie, William Lewis, Frank Atwater, Derrick Williams, and the 800 relay team of Kelan Ritchie, Tim Smith, Tim newsome and William Lewis also qualified for the state event. Shot- puter Gordon Staley and hurdler Der- Junior Pat Qunter prepares to give her best performance in the shotput. rick Williams were individual qualifi¬ ers. The girls team also were consistent winners for the 1987 season. They captured the Conference crown, and sent several people to the state meet. Lead by Chris Coolidge and her spec¬ tacular high jumps taking second place honors, the girl Rocks also sent their 400, 800, and 1600 relay teams. Outstanding trackster, Cheryl Gunter was the only other individual qualifier in the long jump. Coach Bob Wilson has many returning lettermen and hopes to have another banner sea¬ son. The race was worth the pain as Ann Carlson finishes first again. Melvyn Woods begins to outstride his opponet in hope of winning the race. Track 49 A good follow through was part of the secret of Becky Koeppel being one of the top Rocky tennis players. Senior Amy Melpenstel returns her opponets difficult shot for the match point. Netters go The Rock Island High School girls ' tennis team had a tremendous sea¬ son in the fall of 1987. They topped off one of the best seasons ever by win¬ ning both the Conference and Sec¬ tional titles qualifying all six girls to be in the State action. This was the thrid time out of the past four seasons that the Rocky girls took both titles. Coach Sammon was well pleased with the season that the girls had and is extremely excited about their next year as he has four out of the top six lettermen returning in the fall of 1988. I think we will have a very exciting year and another season where we can take Conference and Sectional ti¬ tles again and perhaps have even bet¬ ter results at state ' explained the smiling coach. The 1987 boys ' tennis team send two seniors, Joe Fackel and Jeff Long to to State state and they Finished in the top twelve in the state of Illinois. From that spring team Coach Sammon had two returning lettermen to anchor the spring of 1988 team. Basically the team was very young with the sophomores dominating the boys ' courts. There are eleven soph¬ omores on the team this season and while many of them are very good they do need a lot more practice and time on the courts before they are ready to meet the more experienced junior and senior dominated teams that we are in competition with ' stat¬ ed Sammon. Coach Sammon looked toward sen¬ iors Sean Flaherty, Chris Brock, and Brent Smith to lead the team early in the season and was confident that the underclassmen would soon be in the race for the winning titles. Understanding the finer points of the tennis racquet as explained by Coach Sammon will help brothers Drew and Kirk Peterson perfect their game. One of the fine sophomores on Coach Sammons tennis team is John McGonigle. Early morning practice at the Racquet Club will turn him into a winning letterman. Varsity captain Sean Flaherty shows that Toughness on the courts won Ann Carlson a determination to reach the difficult shot that top spot on the girls tennis team as well as won him many matches. a trip to State.

Senior Teriy Bruce is determined to strike out his opponent. Winning ways again A new and improved Rocks shined on the field last season. After record and a fifth place finish in conference last year, coach Gary Bender decided his team needed some adjustments. He made some position changes and molded his group of talented athe- letes into a winning team. The Rocks began the season slow, but battled back to gain a record of 17-17 overall and 4-4 in Western Big Six. Considering that Rocky sched¬ uled some of the toughest competi¬ tion in the state, the Rocks statistics are very impressive. Coach Bender was overjoyed with the improvement in his squad. The Rocks have many returning lettermen for the upcoming season, so it seems a winning tradi¬ tion will be restored for Rock Island baseball. Baseball 53 54 Softball Anxiously awaiting the ball Dawn Prescott pre¬ pares to tag out the runner. A banner season The 1987 Rock Island girls ' softball bid for the conference crown fell short, but that did not prevent them from having a sensational season. The Rocks finished third in the very tough conference battle. Defeating the squad for the conference title was arc-rival ' Moline, who were the even¬ tual State Champs. The team was lead by the pitching of Debbie Styx, and the hitting of Missy Crow. Both of these team members received atheletic scholarships at In¬ diana State University. Coach Trank Youngquist and his talented team fin¬ ished the season boasting a 19-10 re¬ cord. During Regionals, the squads quest for a trip to State was ended with a defeat by Moline. Coach Young¬ quist has a good crop of talent still remaining on the team and is looking forward to another great season. Missy Crow sprints to first base after perfectly executing a bunt.

With a victory in her sight, Polly Youngquist rears back and prepares to finish the game. Softball 55 56 Working their way up This was a new year for Coach Braet and his girls ' bowling team. With only one returning letterman and only two Junior Varsity members, he had to start from the bottom and help the girls work their way back up to state level players again. After the first practice of the season Coach Braet knew that in a year he would be half way back to the top again, from his point of view he feels that the girls have a lot of potential for the future and with such a young team they have time to make it to the state finals again. It will take a lot of hard work and long practices on the girls part, but if they want to be real contenders they certainly can do it” stated Braet. The 1987-88 Varsity team consisted of Denise Whitcomb, Lory Danielson, Barb Melchi, Jenny Gustafson, and Toni Letter, the lone returning letter- man. Co-captain, Lefler held the high average for the season with a 155. While the girls bowling team did not have a winning season this year they certainly are looking forward to much more success next year. With so much enthusiasm and a real commit¬ ment to hard work they will probably be in the winning numbers next sea¬ son. Co-captain and high average bowler of the season was Toni Lefler. She shows her winning form here as she practices. When the scores add up that high it puts Stebel, Sherry David and Denise Whitcomb as smiles on the faces of Melissa hooks, Kim that means their team wins!

Small but powerful The 1987 88 Chess Team began a slow season last fall, but they pro¬ gressed well during the year and man¬ aged to finish as a strong team. The small, but powerful team consist¬ ed of only five seniors, six juniors, eleven sophomores, and two fresh¬ men. Coaches Art Milton and Earl Strupp were pleased that such a young team could achieve the usual RIHS chess team standards. The season began October 1, and ended April 23. The team had the op¬ portunity to host the IHSA A AA Indi¬ vidual Tournament for the best 100 players in the state of Illinois, and the Boulderdash Invitational. They also look forward to hosting the IHSA A AA Team Tournament in the spring of 1989 in which o ver 500 players will participate. Obviously Rocky is be¬ coming an important part of the state ranked schools in the field of chess team tournaments.

High school might mean participating in track, wres¬ tling, soccer, basketball, or any other sport. Or maybe invovement in the fine arts, such as drama, swing choir, or pep band. Some are art¬ ists, who have painted one of the many murals that deck Rocky ' s halls. Others may be student leaders in Parliment, Key Club, Sen¬ ate, or one of the many oth¬ er student organizations. We are here to leam, to broaden our knowledge in many different areas. And, ther e are many students at Rock Island High School who have committed them¬ selves to doing just that. Whether it be Calculus, Vo¬ cabulary Building, English or Auto Body .. these areas of high school, our classes, are what make up a very important aspect of our high school life . ACADEMICS.

From the Homecoming dance, to Ca¬ sino night, to Rent-a-letterman, to the Super Santa contest the Rocky letter winners put a lot of effort into the school programs. After the swimming team worked ex- temely hard to raise money on their own the Lettermen donated one of their largest sums yet, one thousand dollars, to a new timing system for the pool. Plow when you go support the swimming Rocks there are no longer any startling starting guns and the winning times are posted large and clear on the wall of the pool for all to see. Earning a varsity letter is not an easy thing to do and the work isn t done once the coveted letter is earned. Raising money, decorating for Home¬ coming, ushering at basketball games, and putting on Casino Might are not easy tasks but Lettermen al¬ ways seem to get the job done at the Rock.

Jenny pre¬ formed a tremendous original com¬ edy selection in which she portrayed President Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Gor¬ bachev, Tammy Bakker and Mary from Goods. The speech team deals in public speaking, acting, and interpretive reading. The winter season brought forth Saturday tournaments and twelve different events for the speech team. This year the team won three big tournaments, and placed high in most others. The speech team put on a Speech Teach for the English classes at Rocky in February. They do this each year to let the students know what the Speech Team is, what they do and so the team members can practice their various works in front of an audience before taking them into the sectional competition. Speech Teach gave Jim Rodell and Leslie Tindle the opportunity to show their talent as they performed a humorous duet.

Speech Team 81 Fun — German style As usual, the year was Filled with clas¬ sic fun and good times as only the German Club can have. Where there were club members, there were cer¬ tainly laughs. At school or at club par¬ ties, members always managed to have a good time. The German Club began the year ' s festivities with the traditional Okto- berfest, allowing the students to in¬ dulge in the food, games, and fun, as¬ sociated with the German way of life. From eating bratwurst, to listening to Frau Bowman tell German fairy tales, the fun never ended. Of course, no German party would be complete without playing German Monopoly, or Scrabble. These games not only pro¬ vided hours of entertainment, but also helped the students increase their knowledge and comprehension of the German language. The year provdied a learning exper¬ ience in an enjoyable way. That is what learning is all about. German Club: Front row: Sandra Johnson, Ricky Parkins, Paul Boyles, Becky Koeppel, Paul Ferguson.

German Club Enjoying the French experience This was the year to be in French Club. Full of fun and excitement the year started off with a bang. Members celebrated Saint Nicolas and Mardi Gras festivals and had elegant din¬ ners at Le Figaro. This year many of the French Club members got a little bit closer to French culture. A group of twelve lucky students went to spend their spring vacation time in France. While there they toured the capitol city of Paris and strolled down the Cote D ' A¬ zur. They also journeyed over into Ita¬ ly and Switzerland. The officers for the 87-88 year were Martin Snyder, president, Craig Nul- lett, vice-president and Cathy Davi¬ son, secretary. The sponsor of the club and the trip was Miss Anne Ro- loff.

A goodtime Drama Club is for those students in¬ terested in theater as a participant or as an audience member. It ' s a lot of fun with the opportunity to meet a lot of nice people too. This year ' s Drama Club had a good time learning about proper stage make-up. They attened plays, had the annual Christmas party, and the Rock Acadamy of awards finished the year. Because they share the same facili¬ ties the music department and the drama department have gained a close relationship which has grown this year. During musical time they work hand in hand preparing for opening night. Even though you don ' t have to be a member of the Drama Club to be in a play, many members participate and work hard for each production. Prac¬ ticing for six to eight weeks before each play can be rough but the re¬ sults have been very rewarding at Rocky. The three productions this year in¬ cluded Harvey , which was a com¬ edy about an imaginary rabbit, Runaways , a drama about teen¬ agers and their problems through adolescence, and Once Upon A Ma- tress , the spring musical.

The common question, what ' s a Key Club, is asked of members through¬ out the year every year. Key Club, though questioned has not gone si¬ lent. With their community projects, such as leaf raking for the elderly and pancake day, the club has gained praise not only at school but through¬ out the community. Key Club kicked off the year with sell¬ ing hand warmers at the football games. To several students, parents, and faculty members, the hand warm¬ ers were a nice change from having the cold air blow on them. In addition, they helped serve food at the cookout Key Club: front row: Lori Winter, Mary Walgast, Erika Kempf, Jenny Melton, Beth Peterson, Lou¬ isa Carter, Lena Lee.

Key Club 87 Academic achievers Each year, a select group of sopho¬ mores, juniors, and seniors become provisional or full members of nation¬ al Honor Society. To become a mem¬ ber, a student must maintain a cumu¬ lative grade point average of 3.5 or better. Students work hard to achieve the grades necessary to join national Honor Society. Maintaining high grades while being active in various other organizations or activities is an effort for which to be commended The induction ceremony in April is the highlight for members as it is the time when sophomores and juniors be¬ come provisional members and are honored for their outstanding aca¬ demic achievements during their first two or three years of high school. Also at the induction, the seniors be¬ come official members and the high honor students, those who have maintained a cumulative grade point of 4.0 of better for seven semesters, are especially honored for their suc¬ cess academically throughout their years at Rocky. Regardless of who is at the top, all of the National Honor Society members have worked long and hard and defi¬ nitely deserve the recognition they re¬ ceive. helping Miss Strohl look over invitations to the induction ceremony are sophomore members Mary Walgast, Shalonda Haskins, Kirk Peterson, Jeff Patty.

When the Christmas season came around the Senate participated in a canned food drive to help feed the needy and also took part in an Adopt a Family program to give people a sense of caring. Swirl is an event which Senate takes great pride in holding. Committees are formed and many hours of work are put in to make the dance such a great success. Once again this year. Senate will be sending students down to the District and Sate Conventions. These conven¬ tions are held to gather the student senators from various schools throughout the state to discuss the different responsibilities, activities, and fund raisers which are held by the groups each year. The organization feels they have been an asset to the school thanks to sen¬ ate sponsor Miss Anne RolofT and the support of students and staff. 90 r 4 jC s.

Well, maybe John Lennon didn ' t, but Rocky did, or at least an alternative; The Rock Island High School Student Par¬ liament an organization devoted to educating future responsible voters by demonstrating a truly representa¬ tive school government was formed The new organization began this year in an effort to strenghten the school governing system by having the three student school board members serve as the officers of a student organiza¬ tion thus creating a strong link be¬ tween the school board, administra¬ tion, and student body. After hours of intense deliberation with the adminis¬ tration and the acquisition of Mr. Ca- bel as advisor, the Student Parliament was endorsed by the Board of Educa¬ tion on May 12, 1987. To begin the year the Parliament held school-wide elections in which five freshman, five sophomores, ten ju¬ niors, and ten seniors were elected to serve as Lords of the Student Parlia¬ ment The Parliament then estab¬ lished the standing committees of public relations, curriculum, budget, and fundraising to investigate student concerns, improve school policy, and enhance community relations. Topics discussed included a campus smok¬ ing ban, a seven-period day, and cur¬ riculum revisions. The Student Parliament initiated the student opinion poll, an intramural sports program, a student teacher basketball game, a young-voter regis¬ tration drive, fifty dollar half court shot contest, political rallies, and con¬ ventions. Although all the presiden¬ tial candidates could not speak at Rocky many well known politicians, including Governor James Thomp¬ son, expressed their interest in com¬ ing to speak before the year was over. Parliament proved to be an important organization at the Rock. Zach Maurus and Dan Shallman try politics in Springfield. Sophomore Lords: Front row: Emily Warner, Hadil Diab, Karol Kessler.

Rock Island High School Orchestra Singers duet better After several years of vocal improve¬ ment, the Choral Department added to its melodious sounds by adding yet another choir. This year, in addition to the Concert and Symphonic choirs, a treble choir was added, comprised of only female voices. The expansion itself, speaks for the constant im¬ provement of the music department, with enroll ment increasing every year. In addition, the vocalists have been concentrating on improving sight¬ reading skills, and more difficult mu¬ sic; sometimes singing in other lan¬ guages such as Latin. Throughout the year, many students participated in statewide contests and choral concerts, not to mention sever¬ al concerts in the Auditorium. Two choir members were also selected to participate in the All-State Choirs, the highest honor available to a high school vocalist. The more advanced students were able to audition for har¬ mony Unlimited, Rocky ' s Swing Choir, and Madrigal, which sings music from the Elizabethan Era. Dorothy Klinger, Choral Director, en¬ courages her students to strive to do their best, while considering the choir as a family instead of a group of indivi¬ duals. All-District: Front row: A.

V - 110 Close-up Club Close-up in the nation ' s capital Several Rock Island students took ad¬ vantage of an opportunity to visit the nation ' s capital Washington D.C., with the Close-Up Club program. Due Hoang, Lee Weaver and Teresa Doth- ard accompanied Mrs. Dennis on the trip in the spring of 1988. Close-Up offers a unique chance for students nation wide to study their government first hand in Washington D.C. each spring. The eight day trip to D.C. is crammed full of sight seeing expeditions, interviews with officials, newspaper people, workshops, and lots of fun. I couldn ' t believe that I was really visiting things that I ' ve seen pictures and and heard about for so many years. It was really very very exciting, ' ' commented a former parti- sipant. The club has grown this year due to an increased interest by freshmen and sophomores. By joining the club the first two years at Rocky a member has a better chance to raise money to cover almost the entire cost of the trip for their junior or senior year, fund raisers, such as selling M M ' s pro¬ vided students with snacks as well as money to cover the cost of a trip to D.C. Scholarships for $300 were avail¬ able in a lottery draw ing this year for qualified applicants. Chaperones and participants have agreed that the Close Up trip is a worthwhile learning experience.

Setting goals The 1987-88 School year saw Rocky ' s black Cultural Society open the sea¬ son with a full schedule of events. Club members participated in the an¬ nual candy sale at the beginning of the year to help raise funds for future activies and responsibilities. During February, which was Black His¬ tory Month, an assembly was given to honor black artists. Organization sponsor, Mrs. Glasgow, directed the production that was presented in the Little Theater. Bi-monthly meetins were held to dis¬ cuss both persoanl and controversial issues, to boost morale, and set club goals. Thanks to the help of Mrs. Glasgow the members set individual goals as well as organizational goals and learned many lessons to help them become better people and better leaders. This organization is open to all stu¬ dents regardless of race or ethnic background. Sporting the RUM DMC look at a Black Cultur¬ al Society event is Chris Green and Garvin Bur¬ ton.

Read all about it! Layouts, interviews, picture taking and story writing. All are important factors which involve publication of The Crimson Crier and Watchtower. The staff has had to work very hard this year getting the publications out on time. After having the computer bum up, going through two different yearbook representatives and the photography studio not getting the pictures printed promptly, the staff was beginning to wonder if they would ever make it through the year. Even with all the problems the group still managed to have fun. They took a very educational field trip to Sunset Park which turned out to be a lot of fun not to mention a nice break from the routine. This year ' s staff tried many new things to improve the publications. They tried new graphics and headline de¬ signs, and this was also the first year that the yearbook was done on a com¬ puter. When asked how she felt the year had gone, adviser, Sheila Wahe noted, “I ' ve had an excellent staff this year and the problems we ' ve had have nothing to do with them. In fact they handled all the inconviences quite well. 114 Publications Quill and Scroll, a honor society for journalist which hold editorial positions, are in the top third of their class, and do outstanding work for one or more of the publications includes new members Shannon Dillion, Wendy Gamer, Robin Kahn, Da¬ vid Meitz, Kristin Farwell and Kari Wynn.

The 1987-88 Pep Club accomplished many things ranging from sign paint¬ ing for every game to being guides at the Educational Conference held for some 4000 educators. The group was most noticable when they took buses to away games and brought many Pep Club: front row: I. Romo. J. Noel, S. Sim¬ mons, Mrs. Welling, J. Hobson, M. Roesner. Row two: J. Clemmons, W. Clark, H. Rhoades, fans to cheer our players to victory. To raise funds the club sold the ever popular Rocky pom-poms and gar¬ ters. The group also helped sponsor the Pep-ski Christmas dance which turned out to be a great success. Under the guidance of Sponsor Mary L. Meade, J. Cirello, B. Burgess. J. Lemon, C. Luellen. Back row: C. Smith, P. Hansen, J. Bow¬ er, S. Haskins. W. Oale. J. Lemon. T. Johnson.

Ask a freshman, lie ' ll Know. lie might tell you it ' s scary, lie even may tell you it ' s terrible. Most freshmen agree that it ' s really not as bad as everyone says. Mo one gets beat up or have their lunch money stolen. True, they become the ones to blame if the stairs are crowd¬ ed, but if it weren ' t for the freshmen, the upper classmen would have to pick on the sophomores! The freshmen look differently at things here at Rocky. Com¬ ing to the high school is a big step for them. Getting used to being in such a big building is only one adjustment the freshmen have to make. The freshmen observe all around them. The others take things for granted. The freshmen are the new eyes up at the Rock and they definitely deserve a little respect! J. Holuba, D. Jones. E. Kahn, S. Puckett, J. Melton, J. Ryner. A. Stromer, and K. Stebel talk at lunch.

' ' Most sophomores agree that they are content because they are not freshmen anymore. They consider themselves the seniors of the underclass¬ men ' ' Once past the agony of surviving their first year at Rocky, the sophomores most face a schedule that includes Health and that long-awaited course. Driver ' s Education. A sophomore ' s goal is receiving that small slip of blue paper enabling him to hit the streets. Once able to cruise they become social and chaffeur their younger friends all over town. They don ' t mind, though. The sophomores may be the least talked about, but that doesn ' t mean they ' re not busy doing anything spectacular, more often than most of the upperclassmen! What else is there to do but dance at a school dance? These sophomore guys seem to be having a good time just hanging out.

You ' re sort of like an oddball, ' ' stated one mem¬ ber of the class of ' 89. Each junior must begin to consider what his life will hold once he leaves Rocky. Learning all the possibilties for the future, which is college for most, is a task every junior must take upon himself before the chaos of his senior year begins. The most difficult part of the junior year is finding a balance between studying and partying. Most do succeed, only to find that balance even harder to maintain their final year of high school! This is the way life should always be. Juniors Joe Lawrence, Jeremy Toy, Paul Peterson, and Eric Samo enjoy this experience whenever they can.

Some express themselves verbally, some write, a id yet others compose or perform. Craig Hullett ex¬ presses himself through h ' ts piano playing. ... . � . ’ •’ •. f •. v � ' ' ' • Some may say this is not unusual, but the odd part is that Craig cannot read music not has he ever had a formal lesson. One day, sometime during his sophomore year, he just decided to sit down and see if he could repeat part of a song he heard on the radio. Mot long after he had figured out how to play the entire song, and quite well. It does not take him long to learn a song he hears. Sometimes he will pick it up right away, and other times it may take most of a night, but never much longer than that. His favorite songs to play include those by Phil Collins and U2, but his span of music includes classical songs as well. „ ' , • ' ' riot only can he play songs he hears, but he has written six of his own songs, which express his feelings at the time they were written, lie wrote his first song while sitting on the phone one night. When asked why he plays he responded, ' Because it ' s easy to do. Just sit down and hit the right key at the right time. ' ' A basic concept for him, but not everyone can just sit down and awhile later play a song that came off the top of his head. ' • ' .’Ivy .. Craig spends a great deal of time at the piano. While talking on the phone one can hear him work¬ ing on his latest composition or just playing one of his favorite songs and still continue a reasonable conversation at the same time. ‘ N . ’ ’ . ' • Craig s future plans include attending Augustana next all and majoring in Pre-Med and Psychiatry, though he may not play one of his songs for his patients, he does plan to include his extraordinary talent in his lifestyle. When the time comes, Craig wants to retire with his own piano bar so he can continue to express himself in the way he knows best.

Bridget Budde is one of these people. ’ ' • ' ' ‘ . ‘ ' JJ ' : Bridget has been studying dance since seventh v grade. She has studied jazz and tap but her real specialty is ballet. She has performed in Studio 17 s Annual Christmas Shows and spring shows. She also h d.a ballet solo, which some of you may remember, in ftpcky ' S production of Broadway 2040 . She choreographed routines for the gymnastics team and during Bridget s freshman year she was part of the Quad City Civic Ballet Company. , v : •; .it; -X ■ Bridget has also moved into different areas at Studio 17. She has taken acting classes and now takes voice lessons. She has also moved into a teaching position this year. After student teaching for six months, Brid¬ get now teaches ballet, jazz, and tap dancing for her own class of five-year-olds. Bridget s interest in dance has proven to be very successful and we wish her luck in her future in dance. V,_ Bridget Budde • ; c i. .

Competative swimming started for Julie at age five. , The most exciting time of Julie ' s years in swim¬ ming was in eighth grade when she made it to nationals. The Family Y, where sh e competed, made it ta he Ft. Lauderdale, Florida Finals. The funniest time was when all of the girls sat in the motel room and shaved with the boys ' Julie re¬ called. ) v ■ Some of the records Julie holds include the breas- troke at 1:12.31 and the Medley Relay at 1:57.13. She was ori the relay, team that still holds the record at the Rock Island Family Y. college. My studies need to be top priority so I can survive in life said Julie with a grin, After college Julie would like to attend Worsham School 6( Mortuary Science. She plans to work with her uncle, Uarry Gripp, owner of Flodgson Funeral home-in Rock Island. Besides swimmng, Julie has been involved with softball, tennis, basketball, and lettermans Club. I have had the priviledge of working with some of the finest coaches ever, all of whom I will never forget, commented Julie.

' v .. f Michael came to the Rock via South Africa a year and a half ago. This being his first time in America, it was extra special for this over-seas lad. Michael s travels in America would have made Lewis and Clark proud, his journeys took him from Florida to Washington D.C. to California to hew York. Mi- : chael did more traveling in a year than some peo¬ ple do in a lifetime. ’. • V 1 ’ ■ . • • Michael s trip to America has not been all fun and games, his scholastic achievements were quite im¬ pressive, earning him good grades while here. Mi¬ chael also participated in the school play and though he did not have a major role, he still en- • joyed himself. This foreign athlete also found time to participate on the boys ' swim team. Michael ' s enthusiasm towards American sports was at a high, but he never, quite perfected basketball. ' • . y - : • . y - ' ; •� Although a foreign exchange student, Michael still got involved in school functions, highlighting his stay at the Rock was From last spring, enjoying his riverboat voyage down the Mississippi. Michael s favorite project dealt with the building of yet an¬ other winning senior float. When winter came Mi¬ chael was introduced to snow. Before he had only seen it on television, but before he left he was ready to hit the beaches back home. Mow back home in the warmth of South Africa, Michael will remember the good times he had here. Everyone who knew Michael will admit that he was truly a friendly and interesting person. . • W ■ • • 1 • ' ' • . • • • ' ;; - v ,- na neumann Tyson Nichols Michael Wright Troy Nimmefs Jennifer Noppe _ V -,V Seniors 165 Anne Owens ; Kevin Pahl David Palicki Kim Patterson r’i ' S 166 Seniors r.v, , A ' t • — — • KX. ? i ' -.

Without senior Mickey Dochterman we would alt be left in the dark at school plays and musicals held at Rocky. Mickey has taken it ' upon himself to run the lights at these performances, even though he is sacrificing a part in the production, and he isn ' t getting paid. He has also rewired SK the lighting system in the Little Theatre. Why does he do it? He is the only one who can! It is a very technical and • c€ nfusing job, and there is no one else employed by the school at this time who really knows how to do the job. He , managed to give someone a crash lesson in running the lights for two performances, and was therefore able to take the leading roles in Heaven Can Wait - ' and “Voices From the High School . If all of this weren ' t enough, Mick¬ ey is also the first chair baritone in Concert Band and is in the Marching Band and Pep Band. ( So who is going to run the lights next year? He is! He plans to attend St. Ambrose University in the fall on a technical theater scholarship and will be coming back to Rocky for extra credit at St. Ambrose to run the lights. ■ ■ ' Remember Mickey the next time you are at a Rocky drama production. Without him, the show just ' couldn ' t go on.

Twirling is a lot harde than it looks and takes time, patience, and concen tration, but in the end it all pays off. Marci started twirling when she was seven years old yet she did not start competing until she was ten. Shi couldn ' t beain to count the number of competition: she has participated in. Averaging ten competitions; season, Marci stays very busy. Her normal seasoi starts around March and continues until September Over the years she has won over 250 trophies, not t mention plaques and medals. Some of her winning: include 1982-83 Illinois State Champion, 1983 Mis: Majorette lllinois.and first at nationals in Notre Dami and has twirled at Caesar ' s Palace in Las Vegas, tr _1986 she was ranked in the top ten nationally, fifth it the state, and she was State Champ in 1987. Marci spends most of her time practicing, which in volves long hours of hard work. When asked why shi was itttereSted in twirling, she replied, Because i was something that hardly anybody else did. I lov being able to do what no one else can. She gave u| cheerleading to devote herself to her twirling. It de mands full attention, she said. When she is not com peting Marci. is in the marching band and is bus preparing her routines for the next season. She als teaches a few girls, one of them a state champ. Her future plans include going to college and twirlinc either at Memphis State of the University of Mississip pi where she would receive a full scholarship. Afte that she will then go into teaching twirling as well a: scholastic subjects. She then plans on working oi her judging certificate. Hard work and determination got Marci where she i: today and will bring her much success in the future Marci Hotchkiss ifctt—junior! 1. 5 ' - W Todd Stebel Matthew Stern Heather SticKel Kevin Straw Seniors 171 ( ’ • . •• _ ; ■■ __ ■ ■ .

In spite of all his accomplishments, Ray is a viery modest person. When asked how he felt when he was voted homecoming King, Ray laughed and replied, Surprised and happy. I really didn ' t think about being king before I was on Court, but once I was, I was relaxed, but I guess I wanted to win. ’ . ■ , ..... ’ : - • ' f lettering in three major sports, football, basketball, and basebell, means a lot of time and commitment for Ray. When people look at someone they say. Oh, he ' s good. ' but they usually don ' t think about how hard he has to work, commented Ray. having practice nearly year-round, sometimes even on Sundays, leaves little time for homework and studies. It ' s hard work, but I usually get it done ' he said. ( With the little free time he has, Ray enjoys lying around the house, eating, watching T.V. and talking to friends, he said he does not really care for patties. It s just not for me. ■ When he does go out, he usually brings his brother along with him. Though uncertain of what major and where, Ray is planning to pursue his athletic career in college, where you can be sure he will do just as much there as he has done for the Rocks.

The Rocks started with a 69-52 quarter final round win making the game a night¬ mare for Bloom Trail. Each team showed early effects of pre-game jitters playing in front of a huge crowd and even larger tele¬ vision audience. The game was broken open by the Rocks after John Bames went skywalking enroute to a two-hand slam that blew the top off Assembly Hall. Bames ' dunk was the first of the season for the Rocks, that then used its speed to cause 29 turnovers. Maurice Woods sparked the Rocks scoring 15 points, while snagging eight rebounds that proved to be Woods ' best and last perfor¬ mance of the season. Ho. I ranked St. Francis de Sales were the Rocks next opponent going in to Satur¬ day ' s semi-final game. The Rocks were without the services of Woods who injured a cartilage in the side of his knee. Without Woods the Rocks had to find a player to match up with all-stater Eric Anderson. La- mont Wortham, met the challenge. Even though Anderson tallied 25 points, Wortham held his own, firing in 15 and Planning the last second shot that just didn ' t quite make it against St. Francis DeSales. 196 Tournament Basketball it is grabbing eight rebounds. The game featured the Rocks on a come¬ back trail after being down by as many as 11 in the third quarter. The never-say-die Rocks made a Cinderella effort led by John Bames three-point accuracy at the top of the key which tied the game at 54 a piece with 17 ticks left. Without the ser¬ vices of floor leader Donald Mentria and post-man Lamont Wortham, who both fouled out, OT soon became history. Down 58-56, with 10 seconds left, the Rocks went with three-point artist Brian Jones, whose game-winning jumper rolled off the rim. Even though the Rocks weren ' t victorious, they earned the respect of every high school basketball fanatic. With the state championship game out of reach, the Rocks went into the consolation game only to meet Peoria Manual. The game showed the effects of a physical and emo¬ tional tournament with each team playing at an offbeat. Manual proved to be too tough, pounding the Rocks 59-42, led by all stater David Booth. The game wasn ' t a total loss for the mighty Rocks, who got the opportunity to display next year ' s tal¬ ent in front of the television viewers and bring home the forth place trophy. Brian Jones pulls up with an 18 foot jump shot against Chicago s St. Francis DeSales. Anthony Pulliam looks to move the ball inside against Rockford Boylan, a win that sent the Rocks to Champaign. Double Trouble: They were a blur coming at Bloom Trail from both the right and the left. Here both John Bames and Don Mentria score on lay-ups in Rocky s 69-52 opening win. Fontaine Walker goes coast to coast for one of his baskets which gave Rocky a win over Bloom Trail. Sweet 16 to Final 4 Rocky held an early 13-9 lead over Bloom Trail coming from Maurice Woods inside move using his left hand. Shayne McGaughy lets fly a short jumper over Peoria Manual s Booth in Rocky s consolation game loss. Lamont Wortham hits 2 of his 15 points in Rocky s heartbreaking, overtime loss to St. francis de Sales. Chris Allison made his presence felt during sectionals, but his kamikaze defense flourished in Champaign. Varsity Basketball R.l. OPP.
