The districts into which Rock Island was first di- vided, were united in 1857 and a committee was appointed to get subscriptions of funds to build a union high school. High school classes were held on the third floor of the Lincoln building until 1874 when they moved into a building in the center of the block, a location now used for Lincoln playground. There were only five teachersand 180 students. The size of the school remained the same for a long time. The first building on the present site was built in 1886 and enlarged in 1896. This made room for eight teachers. Courses consisted of four years each of English, German, and Latin until this addition. Lab- oratories and a lecture room were put in the new section. Changes in administration were frequent, as there were seven principals before 1910. In January, 1901, the building burned down, supposedly starting from the chemistry laboratory. For this reasoxi, no laboratory science was taught until the Manual Arts building was erected in 1912. Within a few days after the fire, school was resumed in the Broadway Presbyterian church and the basement of Lincoln school. There were no study halls, library, lockers, or school activities. Finally, after a year and a half, the students moved into the present building. At this time athletics were hit and miss. The cafeteria was used fo-r woodwork and Study B was the accounting room. There were no extra-curricular activities except debate. Class rivalry was sharp and fights between members of different classes in the yard were not un- COI'1'11'I10l'1. Most of the present academic subjects that we have now were started by the time the Man- ual Arts building was put into use. A small orchestra was started in 1904 under Professor Phillbrook Cfaculty members also took partj. In 1910 Glee clubs were added. These courses were discontinued in 1919. A band was started in 1914 and the orchestra was resumed in 1922. Both were short-lived. There were no student publications until in 1909 when alquarterly of about 24 to 36 pages was started. The fourth issue of the year was similar to the present Watch Tower Annual. A school senate known as Associated Students, representing the clubs, was started in 1912. They sponsored the first frolic of Rock Island High School and the first lyceum programs to 'raise money for forensic awards. A new system of classes was arranged in September, 1916, under which periods were sev- enty minutes long, of which forty minutes were allotted to recitation and thirty to study. In 1918 the students contributed 357,000 to the Liberty Loan. During the same year a student council was started with representatives of all the students, rather than just the clubs. Mr. Arnold Lau replaced Mr. Burton as principal. The hrst senior class to number over 100 was the class of '2O. We think of matinee dances as a new project, but the first matinee dance sponsored by the school was held in the fall of 1921. Eugene Youngert succeeded Arnold Lau as principal in 1922. That same year the first Annual was published under the sole supervision of one person rather than the whole English department. Miss Stoddard was in sole charge. The bridge connecting the two buildings was built in 1927. Mr. Hanson became principal in 1929. So Rocky High has grown from 180 students to 14005 from a faculty of 5 to one of 443 from a small school-house in the middle of the block to a million-dollar structure covering two blocks. So much for the pastg the future? That remains to be seen. Page 5 Page 6 . ,Q fi L9 LOUISE HANSEN English ANNIE E. FERGUSON English SARAH C. LARAWAY English , ADA B.

They were meetings which made this year's Commercial Club especially interesting. Gone XYith the XYindsor. an original play, was the frolic stunt. Page 62 FOOTBALL The Rock Island High School football team went through a successful grid season last fall. Ten games were on the Crimson schedule. They won six, lost only three, and tied one. The season started off at Sterling, where the Rocks showed their skill by defeating them 7 to 0. This was followed up by the Rock's victory over Franklin of Cedar Rapids in their first home game by a score of 33 to 13. The next game was for the city prep football title. This game was played with St. Joe, who came out on the small end of a 27 to 0 score. The tilt with Kewanee followed this, and the Rocks showed much grit by tying the strong Kewanee team, 6 to 6. The first loss of the season came next, when the Islanders dropped a heart-breaker to Galesburg. In this game the Rocks led 3 to O until the last few minutes when the Galesburg team made a touchdown, ending the game with a 6 to 3 score. Monmouth was the next victim of the Crimson, the latter trampling the Scots by a 21 to O score. The first Quad-City game of the season followed. Moline defeated the Crimson on the Moline field by a 13 to 0 score. This game, however, showed the spirit of the Rock Island High School team, as it held the powerful Moline squad to only thirteen points. Quincy was the next foe of the Islanders, who went into the game with the odds against them. However, they downed Quincy by a score of 9 to 0. East Moline and Davenport were the last two opponents of the Crimson schedule. East Moline lost to the Rocks by a I3 to 7 score. The Islanders came out third in the Northwest conference, winning two games, tying one and losing two. They also took third place in the Quad- City race, being defeated by Moline and Davenport and beating East Moline. The Rocks were under the capable'direction of Head Coach Kenneth Greene and Delbert Faber. Howard Selhost was captain. Page 63 H i , 3 x N E x Page 64 BASKETBALL The 1937 basketball season at Rock Island High School was highly successful. Thir- teen victories and only five losses is the record of the Rocks. This year's team was composed of several members who saw service last year, and this fact contributed much to the success of the squad. The Islanders ranked second in the Northwest Conference play and took the City Prep Title again by virtue of the defeat of St. Joe, 33 to 11. The Islanders started the season by defeating Sterling in the opening game. This victory broke the string of victories which Sterling held over the Rocks by defeating them in opening games in previous years. The Rocks conquered Davenport by a 38 to 24 score in the first game between the two rivals. Others on the Crimson victory list were Kewanee, Geneseo, Monmouth, Galesburg, Orion, East Moline, Cambridge, and St. Joe. The Rocks lost to Moline, Galesburg, East Moline, and Davenport. The losses to Moline and Galesburg were by very small margins. The team was coached by Kenneth Greene with the help of Delbert Faber. This year's squad is the last Rock Island High School basketball team that Mr. Greene will coach. Next year Wilbur Scantlebury will be coach of basketball and football.

Klartie Mitchell, returns with a cheer and loads of applause for the Dramatic Club Play, 'LSO This Is London, which practically tore the laughter from old sober-sides. Capably directed Kas usuall by Miss Pete and enacted by several veterans and some who made their debut. this play gave the Rock Island High School a grand evening's entertainment. It happened on December ll, and the house was packed. The play opened in London with Letha VVright, Charles Harrison, and Bud Vogt portraying the parts of the American family. XX'hen the scene shifted to the English home, the roles of the English family were taken by Carina Erizzell, Shirley Hallgren, and George Briggs. Incidentally, Shirley and Chuck did a nice bit of roinancing. Complications arose because the Americans thought the English were Hdead pans and the English thought the Americans were too rough and ready. lYith the assistance of Margaret Hoare and James XYiedenhoeft, everything turned out all right, and the play ended very happily. The roles of the.butlers were capably portrayed by Bill Palmer, Don Resch, and David Handleman. As for individual honors, choose for yourselves, but I think they all came out on top in the play. And as I disappear, I say, Guess I'll go to London. So long Page 71 Page 72 xofw f A9 SPEECH CLASS PLAYS Splendid acting, directing, and management characterized the four one- act plays presented on january 20.

Adding romance and mystery to the play were james Haymaker in the role of the governor, Shirley Hallgren as his wife, Ellen Spinshy as his daughter, Howard Franck as Ellen's nance, and Betty Greenleaf as Violet. the mystery woman. Rounding out a well-picked cast were Carl NYelch as the hired man, Bud Vogt in the role of the sheriff, and Tom Cutter. Roger Braaten. and Nick Pontikes as the sheriff's men. Much credit should he given to the student director, Jean Krick, and all those who helped to make the play a success in spite of the illness of Miss Peterson. The sound effects for the thunder and lightning were excellent, and altogether it was one of those plays that was a must see. SENIOR CLASS PLAY Topping off a year of successful productions, the Senior class presented l'Another Language at the high school on May 14 and 15. The play centered around a family that was dominated by Mrs. Hallam, characterized by Sylvia Strum. Every Tuesday evening the family, consisting of Mr. Hallam, Edwin Rosenberg, and the sons and their wives, portrayed by Helen Richtman, Bob Householder, Dan Paul, Velma Scherer, Carina Frizzel, James VViedenhoeft, Ellen Branberg, and Charles Harrison, gathered at the Hallam residence. Jerry and Stella fCharles and Ellenj fell in love, chiefly because Victor, the husband, did not understand Stella. Both seemed to speak Another Language. However, everything turned out all right in the end. Victor and Stella were reunited, and Jerry went to Europe. The play was excellent and gave the Seniors a chance to do their stuff. Picture of the cast was taken at dress rehearsal which made it too late to go into the annual. Page 75 Page 76 OPERETTA Mystery, romance, and excellent music were combined to make Once In A Blue Moonl' a delightful evening's entertainment. George Taylor returns to the home of Mrs. Montgomery in place of Bob Harrington because Bob has fallen in love with another girl and no longer wishes to marry Sylvia, his boyhood sweetheart. George has always wanted to meet Sylvia, and he linds her very charming. Unexpected guests arrive in the persons of Sir Percival Chetwood and M. Rene Le Mon. They remain for the festivities, and when a robbery takes place, suspicion is thrown on George. George is finally cleared when the two noblemen are caught, and he and Sylvia are happily reunited.

It's your old pal, Martie Mitchell, right here on the 50 yard line, ready to tell you all about this leap year game between the Rock Island Sophies and Eddie Titcomb's Musical Pals. Directing play for the Pals is Merwin Jensen. Someone is out over there on the 20 yard line! No, just an injured foot. These Sophies! So far there's no score, but I think both teams are tiring. There goes the gun for the half. Now during the half, we have some entertainment. Let's see, it's Martha Ann Pittman playing the marimbag Phyllis Ed, singing, and Nina Plantz, dancing. We also have refreshments sent up here to the booth by a cute little Sophie. The refreshments, incidentally, consist of ice cream, cookies, and candy. Now back to the game. Still no score. The game is over, and the score is still 0 to 0. That means we will be back with you to broadcast another battle. This is Martie Mitchell saying so long, folks ! ' IUNIOR-SENIOR PARTY Here I am again, folks, ready to broadcast this thrilling game between the upper-classmen and Eddie's Pals. After taking East Moline this afternoon, all the Juniors and Seniors have come out to wear out these Pals, This is a leap-year game, and look at those girls go! During the half, we have pie a-la-mode with entertainment fur- nished by Rene Duvyjonck, Howie Franck, and Ellen Spinsby. Very good, too, Illl say. Now back to play. What, the girls are giving up? Yes, I see them limping. Well, away to the Toasty and then home. That's what yours truly, Martie Mitchell, is going to do. So long P. S. Who won? Well, you guess! The boys, of course- Chiselers! Page 79 Page 80 FROLIC Trying to get through the crowd to see the shows at the frolic just about caused the death of your old pal, Martie Mitchell. Some very fine shows were presented, and they were so good that four of them tied for first prize: the Girls' Hi-Y, with a melodrama about Columbus, the Science Club, with some chemical effectsg the Latin Club, with another melodrama, and the Dramatic Club, with the singing and dancing of Howie Franck and Ellen Spinsby. The main show was a wow, especially the Shooting of Danny Deever, presented by Messrs. Metcalf, Shutts, Peterson, Householder, and Rosenberg, and that charming teacher, Miss Hansen. Splendid whistling and singing by jim Math and tricks by Pete also helped to make the show enjoyable. A dance given by several big husky bruisers, dressed as chorus girls, gave the audience many laughs. As for the popularity contest, Letha Wright and Kenny Setterdahl were the lucky people. And so home and to bed, after having a perfectly swell time. Bye now Qmw if 1 4 igfilf? Page 81 l X ,.

The place, Grand Detour, Illinois. john Deere, the village blacksmith, had been challenged . . . his friend, Lewis Crandall, had threatened to Ngo back East if you can't build me a plow that'll scour. john Deere was worried, for well he knew that Lewis Crandall's problem was the problem of the bustling Wfest. He had heard the talk of sturdy' pioneers up and down the wagon trails. It's the richest soil that lies outdoors, they said. But no plow'll ever turn it, once the sod is broken. No need to tinker with the cast-iron and wood plows brought from the East, concluded Deere. Only a plow with a highly-polished surface could scour its way through this sticky soil. . . A highly- polished surface, mused the blacksmith. Fortunate, indeed, that the sun shone brightly the morning john Deere went to the community's sawmill to repair a broken shaft. Its brilliant rays bounced from the polished surface ofa broken saw blade into the alert eyes of john Deere. Wait . . . that's it . . . steel. . . steel for plows . . . no soil could stick to that smooth surface. Day and night he worked, perfecting his great idea . . . building the plow of his dreams. Into the field he took it . . .back to his shop for changes . . . out again and back again, until he knew it was right. A memorable day it was when, surrounded by skeptics and well-wishers, john Deere turned a clean furrow with his new steel plow. He had conquered the prairie soil . . . he had made possi- ble the permanent settling of a great agricultural empire. Now. Lewis Crandall could stay and farm his rich acres. li PF Ili 4' Ill Little did john Deere realize that his name was to be burned deep into the history of agricultural progress. Humble, yet proud of his workman- ship . . . he built plows that set the standard of plow quality the world over. I'll never put my name on an implement that hasn't in it the best that is in me, john Deere once said. That was his ruling pride, the ideal which has guided the organization that bears his name today. Eleven great factories, building equipment for every farming operation . . . branch houses in every principal farming area . . . thousands of dealers selling and servicing john Deere goods- these are the living, thriving monuments to the man who gave to the world the steel plow, one hundred years ago.
