Hiring new teachers, planning the curriculum, and dealing with financial problems are just a few of the duties of the Board of Education. To them falls the duty of setting the standard of education received by students of the public schools. They devote their time and energy to the end that each student will receive the best in education and guidance so as to prepare him for the responsibility of citizenship and so that he can make a successful living for himself.

Although there must always be admin- istrative and faculty control of certain areas of school life, the students of Rocky High are largely self-governed. Through the leadership of the Senate, the stu- dent representative body, a very real control operates by the force of student opinion. In the Senate the students may meet on common ground with the faculty to discuss new ideas and ex- change opinions on debatable problems. In our national life there are checks on the representa- tive body, and in our school life, the faculty acts in similar capacity. Thus the responsibilities, as well as the privileges of the democratic way of life are a part of the student's every day experiences at the Crimson and Gold school. In years gone by reading, 'riting and ,rithmetic were taught to the tune of the hickory stick, but now the students are having more and more to say about governing the school. Officers for the club for the entire year were: Bob Lundstedt, president, Charles Marshall, vice president, and Wilma Metcalf, secretary. In the absence of Bob during the second semester zina Vickers, Phyllis Volkmann, Delores O'Melia, Bob Mooney, Miriam Cutkomp. Row 4. Bob Mohr, Bob Gar- rity, Edward Lemon, Jim Boetje, Louis Wilson, Bob Berg- strom, Bill Ehleb, Howie Dort, Warren Hallgren. Row 5. Jim Carlson, Harold Brack, Dick Schieberl. Bob Lund- stedt, Charles Twamley, Ted Stone, Sidney Goldstein, Francis Boom. Charles took over the duties and led the club. These three along with Charlotte Erickson, repre- senting the seniors, Bob Garrity, the juniors, and Bob Mooney, the sophomores, and with Mr. Met- calf as the faculty advisor made up the Senate board. BOB LUNDSTEDT President of the Senate Affairs of the School Are in Their Hands The Senate experiencing a very successful year, sponsored the Homecoming parade, which was one of the best in many years, the Basketball, the after-game parties and the matinee dances. They assisted with the Christmas basket project, the Red Cross campaign and collaborated with the Hi-Y's in the 4 C's campaign. This year the Senate recommended nine month- ly parties to replace the matinee and after-game dances. Also they recommended selecting the monitors for next year from the Senate organiza- tion. The traffic committee worked hard to try to re- route traffic in the halls between periods to avoid too many using the east stairs and to get more to use the west steps. The cafeteria committee cooperated with P. J. Martin and tried to keep cleanliness in the cafe- teria at all times. A committee, headed by Natalie Harris, was selected to try and see what could be done to get better club attendance. A Senate prize, given to the club that has the best attendance throughout the year, is under consideration. - Mr. Metcalf is seen talking to the senate in the first picture.

It may have been true that in 1841 the settlers could better answer Indian arrows with guns than with words. But today a flow of language, an apt- ness of illustration and a lightning repartee, have taken much more important place. This year the subject made a particularly good debate. For when one resolves or does not resolve that 4'The power of the central government should be increasedf, he unleases the forces of bedlam. The Rocky High debate squad apparently found the subject to its liking. Shortly after Christmas, the squad went to the Augustana Tournament and received the not unenviable position of sixth out of forty schools. And when the air had cleared of Hnon sequitersn at the Iowa Invitational Tourna- ment, is was found that Rocky High had won sec- ond place and individual honors. And although not quite so successful at the Northwest Confer- ence Tournament, they succeeded in claiming the third position. But there is more to debate than mere tourna- ment work. Each student receives a valuable knowledge of his nation, and also a forceful and effective method of presentation. But more im- portantly, he learns to organize material easily. This helps him in his school work and throughout his life. K Mary Jane Rice and Charles Marshall, affirma- tive debators, attempt to stump Lois Sherrill, nega- tive speaker, while practicing up for the North- west contest. The regular routine for those on the girls' speech teams at Rocky High seemed to be get up, speak up, and place high up. In the nine contests that were held, Rock Island repre- sentatives walked away with top honors every time. At the Northwest Declamation contest, Rock Island's representative, Charlotte Erickson, received a unani- mous first. Her selection was a cut- ting from the play, The American Way. This is the first time that a representative in this contest has been given an unanimous first. The six girls having dramatic se- lections and those on the oratory and humorous-reading teams did very commendable work. Top picture, Charlotte Erickson, Northwest con ference speaker.

With the Centennial as the theme for the 1941 WATCH TOWER, there has been a great wealth of material to work with. lt was, in- deed, a difficult task to see that only the best pictures and write-ups were used in this yearbook. Yet it was also pleasant for the members of the editorial staff to realize that they were helping to give to you students something by which you may long remember Rock Island Senior High School. In this book, as in the last one, each stu- dent has his own individual picture among those of his classmates. And in keeping with the present patriotic spirit of the entire coun- try, the colors red, white and blue are seen on every page. Editor, Jim Carlson, and other staff mem- bers burned a great deal of mid-night oil in preparing for you this 1941 Centennial WATCH TOWER. and it is hoped that you will cherish this annual for its contrasting ideas of then and now. ff it . C sf' sv' Q, C fe. .eww ffm eww Of course, if it were not for the business side of the yearbook, it would not be possible to put out an annual such as this. Much credit is due Zalman Gellerman and Helen Stockdale, co-business managers, who spent many hours linking the advertisements with the Centennial theme. Many snapshots of the students and faculty are scattered throughout the advertising section of the book so as to attract the attention of the readers. This year a goal of S800 of adver- tising vvas reached. t'Buy an annual, fifty cents down and you can pay the balance later, was the cry heard from a vital part of the annual staff, the Cir- culation department.

The Crim- son Crier goes streamlined. In marked contrast to the dull, uninterest- ing newspaper pages of a century or more ago, the Crimson Crier now offers an attrac- tive, up-to-the-rninute make-up. B e t t y Burke, first semester editor, and other mem- bers of the staff, started working on the Crimson Crier during summer vacation. They made plans for modernizing headlines and changing the whole style of the paper. The student body reacted very favorably to the change. Representatives of both the University of Iowa and the University of Illinois complimented the staff on the stream- lined ideas which they introduced. In past years students have studied jour- nalism for one semester and in their second semester edited the paper. Under the plan introduced this semester, students must study journalism for a whole year before they are eligible for a key position. Five students of last year's staff were retained. By having some experienced workers, the new members are helped along. This results in fewer errors and less confusion. eww gazes, aww What, no gossip column? You're right. In the second semester edition of the Crimson Crier, the gossip column was discontinued. What do we have in place of it? A news column by Ruth Harriett Koch which has proved quite interesting. It contains news, some gossip, happenings around school, and other notes of interest. Many years ago, there was no social news, dramatic criti- cisms, or gossip. Nothing but dead copy. To- day students should be proud of the concise and interesting way in which the news is presented in the Crimson Crier. A new idea employed by second-semester editor, Bill lVIcCaffree, required that each staff member write a weekly story. It may have been a feature story, a human interest item, a news story or another type. The best stories were selected and printed in the Crimson Crier. The others were kept on file for future reference. Since business staff members as well as editorial students were required to write these stories, all advanced journalists gained valuable experience in newspaper writing. . X, . fi Q , 1 i . i L .

Talented Students Get Chance Looking over some student themes are the members of the English Magazine committee. Seated, Mary Ann Willett, Natalie Harris and Adelaide Gest. Stand- ing, Charles Johnson and Bob Bergstrom. When students are dejectedly laboring over es- says, themes, or any other form of prose or poetry, there is one thing they can remember that may compensate for all their efforts. And that is the English Magazine, with the purpose of affording them a chance to have their articles published. The articles to be published are chosen for their originality, cleverness, and interest, from the scores of class contributions. The job of selecting the Worthy originals falls upon the English Maga- zine committee, this year composed of five seniors. Articles from every field of imagination and every field of realism confronted the committee, and this year, many commemorating Rock Islandis Centennial year were written by students. Miss Sarah Laraway, editorial adviser of the magazine, Miss Carolu Schutz, circulation and financial manager, and David J. Borth, technical adviser, are the faculty sponsors of the magazine. The circulation of the English Magazine runs around 600 copies, and the contents include some 35 different student articles. The sponsors of the 1941 issue of the English Magazine are pictured below. On the left is Miss Carolu Schutz, who managed the business matters, and on the right is Miss Sarah Laraway, who supervised the editing of the magazine. Thirteen courses in Latin, French, Spanish, and German are offered to students at Rocky High who are preparing for col- lege and to those desiring a cultural background.

Another link in the 1941 chain of events was the super-deluxe banquet for all quad-city Spanish classes at the Lend-A-Hand Club, introducing the new theory of quantity and quality. An added attraction was the trip to the Davenport Museum for Peruvian art study purposes. A paper in the strictly accepted Spanish form is another class- room innovation which seems to follow the for- mula, don't get it write, just get it written, and includes, of course, a maximum of typographical GITOTS. The Latin club, composed of advanced Latin students, is not content with going back 100 years into the past as the Centennial observers have been doing. Under the sponsorship of Miss Al- verda Doxey, they delve into the realms of Cicero and the days of the Roman Empire. Latin plays, discussions of cultural material and a picnic for next yearls members featured the bi-weekly meetings this year. Because the Centennial theme has been in the limelight many of us are realizing, for the first time, how interesting are the traits of people whose ideas and customs are not like our own. German club members discovered this long ago. They use their bi-weekly meetings to acquaint themselves with German culture and language. You don't have to take German to belong to the club. There is only one thing required of it's members and that is a genuine interest in the culture and language of Germany. LATIN CLUB Row 1. Mary Sandberg, Betty Terry, Verna Starofsky, Emma Franck.

They Follow The Trail flwfzffflffff' The Black Hawk Tribe has again carried out its motto, 'Follow the trailf' In keeping with the purpose of creating interest in local history, the Indians followed along the paths of the Centen- nial, learning much about Rock Island as it was in 1841. Serving as guides on this quest for knowl- edge about the early Mississippi Valley were lec- turers, motion pictures and discussion groups. The Tribe membership numbering 182 braves and squaws was larger than that of any other high school organization. The percentage of at- tendance at meetings was very close to the 100 per cent mark.

Rozeboom started the Glee Clubs on their musical way just as soon as school started, preparing for the twelfth annual fall con- cert. On November 15, the production was given with enthusiastic reception by a capacity audi- ence. Twice during the year the Glee Clubs gave assembly programs in the auditorium. The A Cappella Choir climaxed Holy week by present- ing sacred selections on Good Friday, and the Light Opera Chorus took another occasion to pre- sent songs in a lighter vein. More than seventy programs were presented by the combined groups within the Glee Clubs during the year, and the leader in making appear- ances was the much-demanded Male Quartet. At- tired in new uniforms, the versatile four pleased the community from the first when they made a hit in the fall concert. After that, there was no rest for the quartet and they were kept busy all the time. But their fame was not confined to the tri-cities alone, and they were called to journey to Kewanee to pre- sent a program for the high school assembly. The quartet showed variety through songs such as The Spanish Guitar -sung Ujust for fun and MP0 Little Lamb bringing in close harmony. The Male Octet was well received in its appear- ances also. This organization presented a sacred production, '4Hymn of Life, at several churches in the community.

A grand climax to a successful year was Mu- sical Moodsf' with its wealth of choice music and fast moving dialogue. The curtain opened on Worship featuring the 115-voice choir in sacred selections by Christiansen, amid a beautiful church setting. A Music Study Club in one of its weekly meet- ings afforded the Light Opera Chorus opportuni- ty to mix business with pleasure in the second mood, '4Light Opera. Then, the scene shifted to the gymnasium of Melody University for the '4Colle-giate Mood, where the happy-go-lucky spirit of college days was very evident in music and dialogue.

This year's group, composed of thirty voices select- ed from the Glee Clubs, was ready, willing, and able in regard to the con- stant demands made upon them by many Quad-city projects. Besides using selections from its de- lightful light opera repertoire, the cho- rus also appeared at several churches, rendering sacred a-cappella music with beauty and feeling. In the fall concert, the Light Opera Chorus keynoted its part of the pro- gram with the popular '4Gianina Miaf, Song of LoVe,', and Sweetheart Song. And then the group later showed its versatility by singing the rousing 'Riff Song. Two of the scenes in Music Moods, 'iLight Opera and 'cCollegiate,,' were given by the group. Invitations for appearances by the Light Opera Chorus came from far and near, with even Peoria and Galesburg putting in a bid for their services.

Student director of all programs originat- ing from Rocky High was Edward Lemon, who with his two capable engineers, Howard Dort and Edward Nicholas, provided listeners with some very worth while entertainment. Departmental and club information kept the Know Your High School broadcast always interesting, with announcer Eddie Lemon starting the ball rolling every Tuesday at 1: 45 p. m. On Thursday at the same time, with Seme Brodsky at the i'mike, the Rocky High news reporters, Natalie Harris, Ruth Harriett Koch, Bob Bergstrom, Lois Crompton, Jean Johnson, and Elaine Foley, let the community know what was going on in the way of speech, music, athletics, Centennial news, Crimson, Crier pre- views, and roving reporter gossip.

The monthly meetings of the Alpha club, a sophomore or- ganization, were highlighted this year by a St. Patrick's Day party and the mock auc- tion of Easter favors at the April session.

Of course, when some- one receives a detention or tardy slip or an in- ferior report card, it is not likely that that per- son will appreciate to the full extent the effort expended on that particular piece of paper. How- ever, the printers do not spend all of their time producing detention slips. They turn out the Crimson Crier, practically on the dot, every two Weeks, the English Magazine once a year, all the programs for athletic contests, band and glee club concerts, English work pads, and numerous mis- cellaneous jobs for junior high and grade schools. David J. Borth, instructor of the Print Shop, has experienced a particularly fruitful year in this of 40-41. He has been kept jumping from press to paper cutter, making sure that no Cen- tennial whiskers get tangled up or depleted in sufficiency. The print shop boys have been the most ardent supporters of the Whisker Club. The boys practice press work on three platen presses and one cylinder press. Also they learn to bind books, cut paper, set type by hand, pre- pare and lock up jobs, and mop the floors, all with the maximum amount of efficiency.

This realistic bit of advice does not stop our Rocky High weather observers. Rain or shine we find them working at least half an hour before school starts, recording the data gleaned from their instruments, and making forecasts. Shown examining a weather map are Doris Strieter, J. H. Shutts, and Edward Nicholas. One hundred years ago people may have fore- told weather changes by attacks of rheumatism, but our weather-wise students are aided by ac- curate instruments. Over l50 separate observa- tions have been made during the school year. A forecast is prepared each school day by the students. George Baird, chemistry instructor, seems to be a bit puzzled as he looks over a supply of chemicals. It is probably an amoeba or some other animal of the unseen world that has Clifford Herbst interested as he squints through a microscope while his companions, Bob Lawson and Don Gipple, look on. Take ten grams of this, add twenty c.c.'s of that, mix well and then what have you got? That's the question probably in the minds of Bill Wood, Frances Davis and Arthur Schott. J. Hervey Shutts, physics teacher, is quite composed and sure of himself even though he is surrounded by a portion of the Rocky High's feminine population. fzqfiical Z Probably the most popular department in the school is the gym department. Here students find fun and relaxation from their studies. The intramural program is an important feature of this department. Tournaments are held all year round. Basketball and volley ball take the spotlight in the Winter, While hockey, soccer, and baseball take the lead in the Spring and Fall. Students unable to participate in the regular gym program are placed in restricted classes.

Under the sponsorship of the Misses Dorothy Petersen and Lyal Westerlund, the Dramatic Club enjoyed their Christmas party in usual style with re- freshments and dancing. Look- ing into the stagecraft of pro- fessional actors and actresses of Hollywood, the club spent the annual spring party at a movie theater. The officers, president, Ed- ward Lemon, vice-president, Harold Brackg secretary and program chairman, Marilyn Johnson, treasurer, Elaine Fo- ley, were nominated and elected in 1940 to assume their duties this year. You have to prove you can act, to be admit- ted into the Dramatic Club! Try-outs are held at the beginning of the year for prospective dramatists who must read lines of a play in order to demonstrate their ability. Membership in the club includes the oppor- tunity of acting in the Dramatic Club play, and any of the one-act plays presented at each meeting. As casts have small numbers, disap- pointment would be great if it weren't for the opportunity of helping with the backstage work such as properties, lights, and make-up which are very necessary for the production of any play. Ticket selling and publicity along with business problems Oilers valuable training for the members. a The presentation of 'tln a House Like Thisv was the project in which every member had some job necessary in the production. Doing valuable work were Zalman Gellerman and William McCaffree in charge of business, Lu- cille Vernon and Helen Stockdale in charge of 'tprops and make-up respectively, and Harold Brack in charge of lights. his Bob Hood is snapped as he makes the dramatic statement, The vali- ant dies but once. Miss Pete and Miss Westerlund seem very happy about something. Perhaps it is because of the success of the Dramatic Club play. Looking over some of the lines from the Dramatic Club play are June Krueger, Louise Norton, Lois Sherrill, Bob Hood and Ed Lemon. 'LYou aren't goin' to tell me how to act in this play,', cracks Granny to the helpless youthful director. A stuffed owl has the atten- tion of both the actors and the audience in this scene. If we could all live mln a House Like This o entertainment wor ' ur ries would be over, for such an experienced cast of Dramatic Club members are bound to please. In the first stage production of the year, Louise Norton, June Krueger, Kathleen Groom, Char- lotte Erickson, William Carney, Robert Hood, Jean Johnson, Edward Lemon, James Carlson, Elaine Foley, Miriam Cutkornp, and Seymour Brodsky set a fine example b h ' ' ' y t eir acting. I'd be delighted to go with you Giles, only -, are the words causing so much trouble. The Ingal household seemed to be busily en- gaged in producing a play under the son's man- agement. A vacancy in a ld ' fi n e erly lady s part was nally filled by Granny herself who then threat- ened to ruin the show by her 'ihamn acting. Quick work on the part of mother saved Granny from embarrasment and rescued the show. Furnishing the romance was daughter Ingal and h who couldn't er beau quite get together until the final curtain. x L' 'Tm goin' to show you some- thing you never saw before. Just an informal shot. A busy day in the park. HI can't make him talk. May- be you can. Willie,s Lie Detectorf' his own invention, solved its first mystery by pointing at the baffled Willie himself. All turned out well as Bruce Con- over, Ruth Harriett Koch, Beverly Hallgren, Bea- trice Jones, Richard Schieberl, Elayne McMur- trie, and Herman Cohen each made their first stage debut. A Spring Scene was also the scene for a strange meeting of two who were once in love. A humourous turn of events reveals them in need of each other and when the lights go out at the end an embrace serves as the well known, and they lived happily ever after. Calvin Stuhr, Phyllis Williamson, Dorothy von Ach, and Sey- mour Brodsky turned in the fine performance. H :The Valiant' never tastes of death but once, are the last words of a mysterious criminal who won't reveal his true identity. A tense drama is professionally done by Theodore Stone, William McCaffree, Robert Hood, Connie Magnusson, and Jack Cusick, in the setting of a state prison. No, sir, He Ain't Done Right by Nell,', as the audience soon learned in an old-fashioned melo- drama. With Hilton Hayes fa wolf in sheeps clothingj and Jack Logan four manly heroj fight- ing it out, there was bound to be thrills a minute. Marian Griffiths, Jean J ohnson, Kathleen Danley, Miriam Cutkomp, Robert Elliott, William Roth, and Larry Tucker were the artists responsible. I thought you dropped straight down from heaven into my arms. Chuck Harris and Penny Wood have gone June Mad. Upsetting a quiet household in a sleepy midwestern town, these adolescents have plenty of worries for the month of June. Representing the Class of '42, Constance Mag- nusson, Bruce Conover, Ruth Harriet Koch, Ar- thur Sheets, Seymour Brodsky, Jean Johnson, Elayne McCurtrie, Jack Sulser, Calvin Stuhr, William lVIcCaf'free, Donna Jo Tornquist, Chuck Davis, and Beverly Hallgren gave the audience and Rocky High a real hit. A glider was the cause of Chuck's troubles There, I got you, I did, I did. '4Whew! What's she got herself dressed up like that for? while an ambition to be someone caused the worry on Penny's part. Chuck was entertaining hopes of be- coming an aviator and was building this glider with the handy man's help, much against his father's will. A 4'sneak flight ended by his landing in a tree caused much commotion and in the Harris household. In the meantime Pennyls stored up femininity rapidly came to the fore when a college Romeo came to Lyn Brook on vacation. Some bitter disap- pointment to her pride, when she at- tempted to attract this college man, re- sulted in her coming to her senses and looking seriously at Chuck for the first time. Chuck, instead of being severely re- primanded for disobedience by his father, was finally encouraged by his now understanding parent in his avia- tion desire. To you Martin and Irma Gunther go congratula- tions on fifty years of married life. 1889 1941 Mapleton annual outing, July 3, 1898 The biggest production ever attempted at Rock Island High School was carried off with profes- sional smoothness when the patriotic drama, The American Way, was presented by members of the Senior class on May 8 and 9. The story dealt with the lives of two German immigrants, Irma and Martin Gunter, really Louise Norton and Eddie Lemon, as they lived in their adopted country exemplifying the Amer- ican Way. The dramatic dual role of their son who was killed in the World War, and their grand son, who was influenced by a group of commun- ists was ably filled by Bob Hood. Many historic episodes were effectively repro- duced in this fast moving drama. The World War times, the Armistice, Lindbergh's famous flight, the bank failures and the presidential elections were all re-enacted with amazing perfection. The seventy-five character cast brought drama, romance, and comedy to the Rocky High stage in this just off broadwayf' production. The senior class was perhaps one of the first amateur groups to present The American Way. In giving this play, the class of 1941 has set the record at which other graduating classes will aim.

Nevertheless its members will probably do more than their share in shaping the history of the second one- hundred years of Rock Island's life. The sixteen boys and sixteen girls who com- prise the membership of the Rock Island High school chapter of the National Honor Society haven't been tripping on their beards during their high school careers. They are all members of the upper third of the class of 1941 and have been outstanding in all fields of endeavor: music, speech, forensics, drama, clubs, journalism, ath- letics, science, and perhaps others. The thirty-two members were chosen by a vote of the one hundred-seven seniors who were listed in the upper thirty-three per cent of their class. They were selected for outstanding leadership, service, character, and scholarship during their high school careers. The National Honor Society was officially adopted by Rock Island High school in the year 1937 and was approved by the student body through the senate. Below, you see the report of an average se- mesters work of John Smart. In spite of his many extra-curricular activities, John Smart set the scholastic example which all Honor Society mem- bers strived to attain.

One of the Hi-Y Club's activities is the helping of the underprivileged throughout the city. Around April of every year the Boys, Hi-Y joins with the Girls' Hi-Y to give the morning Lenten services in the Little Theatre and this year was no exception. Last fall the boys enjoyed a scavenger hunt fwith their datesj which finally ended at the Blackhawk Country Club. This year, the annual Invitational Dance at Camp Hauberg was held along the Centennial theme and everyone enjoyed themselves immensely in the rustic settings at the camp. Besides having fun the Hi-Y members consti- tute the Ushers Club which ushers at the four concerts given by the Glee Clubs and Band each year. They also are noted for the assistance and support they give their school. The sponsors, L. V. Burch, E. S. Metcalf, John Huckins, David J. Borth, and Earl Peoples, plus the four officers and a cabinet of twelve mem- bers constitute the governing agency of this club. The Boys' Hi-Y is a popular, helpful, and interest- ing organization.

Their em- blem is the triangle representing the three-fold purpose of developing mind, body, and spirit. To aid them in achieving their purpose, the girls sponsor social affairs. The festivities this year in- cluded a Christmas Tea, a Musical Tea, a Style Show, a Spring Picnic and a tea in honor of the mothers. The year was climaxed by the Senior Farewell Banquet and the Ring Ceremony. In co-operation with the Boy's Hi-Y the girls spon- sored the beautiful and impressive Lenten Serv- ices which were held the week before Easter. In keeping with the Centennial, the Girl'S Hi-Y had a Centennial meeting in which the cabinet members dressed in old-fashioned costumes and Dr. I. O. Nothstein spoke on Rock Island in 1941. The Girl's Hi-Y along with the Girl Reserves in the junior high schools, is a part of the junior organization of the Y. W. C. A. All girls are eli- gible for membership. All members, sophomores, juniors, and seniors, take part in the meetings. Top picture.

Owing to the Centennial exhibit which was dis- played in Rock Island High School show cases, hall Monitors on Hrst floor were kept busy usher- ing grade and junior high school students from place to place in the building. For, it is the duty of the hall Monitors to see that Rocky High's halls are kept free from any stragglers and to accom- pany strangers around the building. To relieve the monotony of sitting in their chairs and surveying empty halls, the Monitors have the job of taking attendance slips to the office. And perhaps one of their most pleasant experiences is to walk into a classroom with a detention slip for their bitterest rival. E. S. Metcalf is in charge of the system of hall monitors, which is just another example of the privileges of student government seen throughout Rocky High. Van Severen, Begyn. Girls of 100 years ago would faint at the mere thought of some of the activities of the Home Economics Club. The purpose of this organization is to stimulate interest in home activities.

Today when you hear the name, Scouts, you can no longer correctly picture just a boy in a khaki uniform, for today Rock Island High School boasts an organization of Girl Scouts. It is a su- perior organization, too, since every one of its members is a first class Senior Scout. May 3, end- ing the Rock Island Centennial celebrations also marked the birthday of this scout troop. ' .. .l - .' .

Piloting the organiza- tion this year were Boswains Madge Wilson and Phyllis Volkmann. The other oificers were Cox- swains, Betty Mattingly and Ruth Harriett Kochg Yoeman, Hazel Erickson, and Super-cargo, Betty Harbarger. Scout work includes good times at social func- tions as was shown by the fun had by members at a Christmas party and a Father-Daughter so- cial given this year. Knitting for the Red Cross, being Junior Girl Scout camp councilors and helping with the cookie sale, has made this a busy year for the Girl Scouts. .,,. 21 . 2 11 Q, 3?

The organization is of special value to students who are no longer eligible for journalistic courses, but are still interested in newspaper work. High- lighting the meetings this year was a talk by George R. Smith, city editor of the Argus.

' gg 4 Heroine Saves Hero rqmalewz Shaw A little Hreverse Englishn came into play when the heroine saved the hero in this year's annual Rocky High amateur show. An original skit writ- ten by Bernadine and Geraldine Wilkins fur- nished the opening for the amateurs to present their specialty acts. The acts were really specialties which included a variety of entertainment which pleased all stu- dents. Alyce Blackman was the heroine who got the hero a job through the booking office run by her father, Jim Carlson. The office help and per- sons looking for work who applied at the booking agent's office displayed a wealth of talent which was indeed a credit to Rocky High. The versatility of several faculty members was made quite evident as the amateur show this year was highlighted by the appearance of the Royal Imperial Not-All-Our-Faculty Male Quartet, com- posed of Mr. Metcalf, Mr. Baird, Mr. Shutts and Mr. Rozeboom, acompanied by Wilma Metcalf at the piano. QSee page six.j A chorus of Hiwaiian dancers was another feature of this never-to-be- forgotten assembly program. Orchestra music was furnished by Bob Jansen and his orchestra. Julien C. Peterson was the faculty director of the show. The Hiwaiian dancers are: Row 1. Bernice Karr, Joan Kidd. Betty O'Farrell and Dorothy Smith. Row 2. Barbara Buffin, Mary Pells, Pat Dumas, Alberta Morehead and Shirley Blitch. The main characters in the performance were Jim Carlson, Alyce Blackman, Charles Johnson and Bernadine and Geraldine Wilkins. 8 i Other specialty numbers were presented by Alberta Morehead, Betty Webb, Bill Millett, Jean Welliver and Bernice Jeffries. The pianists for the show were Donna Miers and Bob Brittenham. R ,t gf.-2A'Vz,g-, ' - S , fl--7, .A it ,emit V i 'f 4 . N .lim ..., W Wg f, - -' N x.

UR Crimson and Gold basketeers put up a great fight against the Blue Devils, but the Iowa State title holders were just a little too much and went home with a thrilling, hard-fought 29- 27 victory. EARWICK and Boetje rush in to follow-up an Islander long shot attempt should it miss fire, but there was no need for rebounding on this shot as the ball dropped through the netting for two of the twenty-seven points which the Crimson and Gold ran up against the boys from across the river. THE Islander school forces showed all kinds of unheard of Hpepn and Wight in this contest against the Blue Devils, and had they played the kind of ball they demonstrated against their Iowa foes, Rock Island would probably have won more.

OCK ISLAND high school usually turns out championship material in the track field and this year proves to be no exception as this is being written. Rock Island will be aiming for their third straight Northwest conference track cham- pionship this year. Dubuque and Muscatine have been met and defeated by Coach Kimmel's cindermen this sea- son, while the Islanders have lost a close meet to Davenport. Entering in the widely discussed Davenport Relays, the Crimson finished third, be- ing just one point behind the second place winner. Last year the Crimson runners took the sec- tional championship and went on to the state meet at Champaign, where they gave a good account of themselves. Coach Kimmel and his boys have their eyes set on that goal this season and are also counting heavily on finishing well up in the Quad- city meet which is to be held in our stadium this season. NLY five veterans answered the track call this year, but many promising sophomores have showed that they are not to be taken too lightly. Coach Kimmel, one of the oldest and experienced mentors in the state of Illinois, can be counted on to give Rock Island a good balanced track squad, and take quite a number of honors before the cinder season has run its course. T 04044 Ga 7ea.m -W. OCK ISLAND high school's young and in- experienced tracksters started off the track season traveling to Maquon, Ill., where they met the host school and Galesburg in a ow' I triangular meet. The Crim- son runners finished in last place, four points behind the strong Maquon squad. Their next effort was an invitational alfair with six Left to right, front row: Wayne Hamburg.

' eam RESTLING, which is in its third year at Rock Island High, is gain- ing more and more in popularity every season. School interest was unusually high in the matmen's ranks this season with a large number of student fol- lowers. ' HE ISLANDERS had their best lluck against Maquoketa, where they split even in two matches. Charles Cook, Islanders' 95- pound grappler, was the main- stay of the Rocks. He has not lost a match for two seasons. SEASON'S RECORD Davenport-lost 2. Clinton-lost 2. Maquoketa-lost 1, won 1. Quadrangular-finished second fagainst Davenport, Clinton, Dewitt, and Maquoketaj.

ORTHWEST CONFERENCE com- petition called to the Islander run- ners next when they journeyed to Mon- mouth. Although the Crimson did not take top honors, the run was sweet to the Island city forces since they finished ahead of their bitter enemy Moline. ALESBURG took the top honors, with the Rocks finishing in third position behind Kewanee. Bill Phelps proved to be the spark plug of the Crimson squad, finishing sixth. Ham- burg also proved to be outstanding for the third place winners when he came in tenth. Left to right tfront rowl: Tolmie, Evans, Madson, Eggers, Schnoor. Sec- ond row: Cullinson, Cook, Scharlvp.

Hervey 1 Shutts, is a sport which Rock Island has been able to dominate for the past few years in the Northwest Conference, the Quad-city, and Dis- trict meets, usually going to the state finals with several racketeers. ,UR Crimson have a fine golf squad this spring and will give all outside opposition a tough match. Under the careful and helpful coaching of Mr. J. R. Clark, Rock Island high school has risen as a power to be feared in the last several years. ' 'I-IIS past season's football and basketball squad was the last that Coach Wilbur E. Scantlebury, better known to the student body as ' . y 1 just plain Scan, will coach, as he resigned from Director of Ath- letics in the middle of February. Scan came to Rock Island High in 1937 from Creston, Iowa, where his teams piled up fine records. For three years 'tScan has been at the Islander athletic helm and the grid squads have won 14 games while dropping 19. The Islander basketball records are even better, having won 47 and losing 33. . s In 1937-38, our Crimson, after having a season of ups and downs, surprised their most loyal back- ers by taking the Regional title, the District championship, and entering the state mdet at Champaign for the first time in twenty years. They lost in the first round by two points. 'iScan's best year was in 1939-40, when our Rocks took second in the Northwest Conference grid race and held Moline's mighty Maroons to a scoreless tie. Beating Moline twice in a row, the only team in the state to do it, our Crimson shared the Quad-city title with Davenport, and the Northwest Conference with Moline. Coach mScan', ha.s done a fine job of lifting Rock Island out of the athletic dumps. We are proud of you, Scan ! We always shall be! Row 1.

An affiliation with the Illinois League of Girls, Athletic Associations gives members the benefit of contacts with simi- lar organizations all over the state. While our city points with pride to its accom- plishments on its one hundredth anniversary, the Girls, Athletic Association is proud of its accom- plishments after just four years of existence in this high school. During this comparatively short time, the G. A. A. has set up a wide program of intersholastic sports sponsoring tournaments in many individual games as well as in major team activities. This year the local club played hostess for the first time at an Illinois League Play Day when about seventy out of town guests were invited to spend a Saturday in the Rocky High gym play- ing games, eating, and enjoying a program. The cowboy theme was carried out in team names and pinnies, table decorations, and favors. The Play Day was called the Rocky High Round-Up. The club membership drive was climaxed last fall by a wiener roast at Black Hawk State Park. Other high spots of the season were a pot-luck Co-ed party, a special Christmas meeting and a Chilli supper. The officers together with the managers of the various sports sponsored by the G. A. A. make up the Board which plans many of the organiza- tion's activities. The Board, however, mixed work with play and turned several of its supper meetings into bowling parties. The G. A. A. Board.

As leaders in the baffling net- work of Rocky activities, they have not only carried it off efficiently but have paved a smooth way for their underclassmen. Outstanding and timely was the '41 class play, The American Wayf, The produc- tion which has recently worn out the Broadway critics, superlatives, repeated its smash-hit technique on our own stage, and classified itself as very constructive enter- tainment. Scholastically heading the seniors were Betty Maloney, valedictorian and Charlotte Erickson, salutatorian. Official heads were: Bob Lundstedt, president, Charles Johnson, vice-president, and John Stone, secretary- treasurer. DALE AHLGREN-Monitor.

Leading the class on were Bob Mooney, president, Dick Boynton, vice-president, and Evangeline Erickson, secretary.
