HANSON Most responsible for the fine curriculum of our school is the Board of Education, the small but powerful group which manages the affairs of all Rock Island schools. Not only should we thank them for one of the finest and best equipped of high schools, but we may also be grateful to them for a faculty which has become known as an exponent of the best ideas in modern education. Earl H. Hanson, superintendent of the public schools, has long occupied a place in the hearts of Rock Island students. This jolly, congenial fellow always wins the applause of all. 9 OWEN B. WRIGHT ' ' GEORGIA T. FIRST Assistant Principal To the Students of the Rock Island Senior High School: The Rock Island Senior High School has finished another lap in the race for an education which will prepare for eHective citizenship in the greatest democracy in the World. During this year, when there has been so much unsettled thinking and rash acting in the World, it has been difficultvto keep our feet on the ground. It is necessary for us to realize that this world is one of realities and that those realities are made more real through our many school activities. These school activities are in the classroom, auditorium, club meetings, gymnasium, and on the Held. The Rock Island Senior High School will continue to direct the thinking of the students toward an appreciation of the opportunity of living in and working for this great democracy. HELEN M. DOWNING ELIZABETH KOEHLER Mfbe-SW! In the main wing of our school is a suite of rooms known as the principals office, which serves as general headquarters for students and faculty alike. 'Working diligently in this deparment are those responsible for keeping school records of all kindsg those who act directly and indirectly as student advisorsg and those who serve as the medium of contact from the high school itself to the citizens of Rock Island.

'LOur Town, presented May 5, was perhaps the most unusual play ever given in Rock Island Senior High School. People arrived to an empty stage, curtains opened, and no properties except a few straight chairs. The Stage Manager appeared and started to tell the story of Our Town. He called for the actors in turn and they did a few scenes. With gracious thanks he dismissed them and went on with the story. The new Hammond electric Organ was initiated at the play. Appropriate music helped put across the idea of the scenes. Special sound and light effects did much to create the atmosphere. Of unusual interest was the clever that may have been felt by lack of pantomine which covered up any gap properties. Uadaaq The first victory of the season was the win- ning of the triangular meet with Moline and East Moline. Robert Rolfe received first place in the contest with Moline. At East Moline, Sam Lane and Carl Welch were awarded first and second places, respectively. Representing Rock Island at the Northwest Conference held at East Moline, Carl Welch captured second place. Rock Island also re- ceived second place at the invitational meet at Davenport. Robert Rolfe and Carl Welch spoke in the final round against orators from Davenport, Moline, East Moline, and Musca- tine. fbedaje HAROLD BRACK DOROTHY ZIMMER LOUIS CONDON LELENE GELLERMAN BOB GOODELL KATHLEEN BUDELIER HEBER DARTON DALE HOLMGRAIN Banff' Um HAROLD BRACK SAM LANE ROBERT ROLFE DONALD DAVIS EDWARD LEMON CARL WELCH fbefale Under the capable supervision of Debate Coach P.

MLUEZS am JEAN DUNLAP ONALEE HARRIS LELENE GELLERMAN JUANITA POTTER VIRGINIA BEECHLER DOROTHY BOYD fbecfamafian The winning of the triangular meet with Moline and East Moline marked the beginning of a most successful speaking season.

At the Northwest Conference held at Moline, Juanita Potter was awarded second place. As a climax to these victories, our feminine repre- sentatives captured first place in the invita- tional meet at Davenport. A new tradition was established this year with the organization of a Sophomore Declama- tion team. fx 8 Scoring victories over East Moline and Gales- burg, o u r extemporaneous speakers came through a series of contests in the customary fine style. Although the team failed to best Moline speakers, who had an edge of only nine points, Rock Island speakers ranked high in the Davenport invitational meet. At the East Moline contest, Justin Reinhart, Louis Pesses, Janet Swanson, and Louis Con- don received the first four places, respectively. Justin Reinhart and Janet Swanson were awarded second and third places, respectively, at the Galesburg meet.

Colorful light opera selections are usually sung by the chorus. Comprising this group are the Madrigal and Orpheus Club which include 36 members. Those who are chosen for these clubs are the superior voices of the Glee Clubs. Their small number has made them desirable for outside programs when it is impossible to take the large Glee Clubs. The Light Opera Chorus, due to its fine work, has become one of the most well-known groups of the Glee Clubs. They played an important part in the programs given by the Glee Clubs during the year. The chorus presented such selections as Katinka, '4Auf Wiedersehnf' and My Hero at the fall concert. Also given were, Rose Marie and Kiss Me Again. During the Musical Moods programs they sang Serenade by Rom- berg and Desert Songf, Exchange programs for the other high schools were ably done by the Light Opera Chorus. They sang at East Moline and Moline high schools, and were Well received for thevgood work which they customarily do. Kittilsen, Kittilsen, Boyd, Mead, White, Graham.

They marched in intricate formations led by the two twirlers, Beverly Eklund and Nina Plantz, and played stirring marches at the sport events. In March the band sponsored a donkey-basketball game in the gym to raise money for sweaters to wear at games.

The first of these, the fall concert, was given November 18. The glee clubs' excellent ability was shown clearly in this tenth annual concert. Two dancing couples enhanced the charm of the opening ensemble '4When I Grow Too Old to Dream. A colorful group of folk songs such as 4'Kathryn's Wedding Day, and L'Dark Eyes, a Russian selection, followed. The male quartet's songs added a humorous note to the concert and with the Girls, Trio provided light, entertaining numbers. Beautiful Saviour, a traditional number of the Glee Clubs, was in- cluded in the last group of a capella numbers. This difficult part of the pro- gram was well interpreted by the choir. Grand opera selections from 'ill Trovatore, Faust', and Tannhauser closed one of the most successful concerts ever to be given by the Glee Clubs. Radio broadcasting followed, the organization giving weekly broadcasts on Monday evenings over WHBF.

This was in contrast to performances of previous years when an operetta or light opera was given. Four moods, Evening, College Daze, Longing, and Reverence, were in- terpreted by the 100 members in an unusual manner to make this a memor- able program. 4'Evening, the first mood took place at a garden party. The atmosphere of the closing of day was well created through the use of such selections as When Day Is Done and Memories.,' College Daze was cleverly portrayed by two divisions, Rehearsal and Performance. The performance, given like a radio broadcast was noted for its apparent authenticity, and for 'ADrink to Me Only sung by the boys' glee and 4'Alice Blue Gown by the girls. A short, well done mood was Longing. Old Man Rivern proved to be the favorite of this section. Reverence, the most impressive mood of the evening, was made so by the robed choir and splendid Capella numbers. The Glee Clubs have been more active this year than any other since their organization. Their success has been the result of hard, conscientious work. Jones, Ingersoll, Daley, Myers, Swanson, B.

HILLTOPS BY HOWARD SCHERSTEN The cities strong their glories have at night With lights that flicker like a thousand lampsg But where is joy for those that love to tramp On hills so high that take from age their might? The Wind is strong upon the highest moundg It stings the face of wand'ring Vagabond. It brings with him and God a close bond When all his pains with joy and peace are drowned. A peace there comes when all the world is seen From high above the sorrow-bringing thingsg Up here one harkens how the swallow sings, And sees again the earth is fresh and green. When white and fleecy clouds drift 'cross the sky, The world turns to its lookout towers high. SABATH SEIDEL VOGT DE SCHINKEL POTTER 19141 Sandia efzinuan elder!

Two circulation campaigns were held this year, one in the fall for the entire school and the other early in the second semester for the new sophomores. The business staff of the 1939 annual has made an outstanding record. In the circulation department more annuals have been sold than ever before. This year, the plan of paying fifty cents down and the rest later was continued successfully. With the co-operation of the art department in drawing up ad layouts, the advertising division made a record sale of ads. Students were chosen as models for some stores. Candid snap-shots, inserted in the advertising sec- tion, induce the student to read that section. Hendren, H. Kittilsen, D. Kittilsen, Gellerman, Lundberg, O. Harris, Barton, Epperly.

Although the print shop is not as publicized as other school departments, it is just as important. The boys in the print shop Work many long hours, sacrificing their time, to enable the paper to come out every other Friday. Many times it is only due to their unselfishness that the Crimson Crier has come out on time. Whenever a concert or play is given at school, all tickets and programs are made by the printing department. Thework of the printer includes not only Rock Island high school jobs, but also all the grade and junior high school jobs in Rock Island and a few outside. Much praise is due these boys, and David J.

These were the Lenten De- votionals held in the Little Theater before school every morning of Holy Week. Several attractive and interesting features were introduced at the meet- ings held every other Wednesday: a music meeting combined with the Christ- mas Tea, a talk on World Fellowship by Florence Schaffer, a Style Show sponsored by the Dixie Shop. Outside activities included: a Winter Picnic at the Y. W. C. A., the annual Christmas party for the Bethany Home chil- dren, the sale of poppies, the sale of carnations.

SCANTLEBURY Two years ago an entirely new coaching staff took over Rock Island's sport reins in an attempt to elevate the Islanders' standings. This was com- posed of varsity coach Wilbur Scantlebury and sophomore coach Lester Glick. This group was active in both football and basketball. Walter Kimmel, track coach, also assisted Scan in football while Julien Petersen took charge of sophomore football along with Glick. Scan served as athletic director this year and J. R. Clark continued to coach his golf men to a successful season. Kenneth Greene, who was succeeded by Scantlebury as head coach, became boys' physical director when we moved into the new building. He also coached wrestling and was in charge of intramural sports. The tennis team was under the 'tutelage of J. Hervey Shutts. PETERSON SHUTTS GREENE GLICK KIMMEL CLARK S 'fleccvzcf The Islander sophomore squad had fair success in winning four games, losing three and tying one in their heavy schedule of eigfht games. Rock Island played Moline, Davenport and East Moline twice and each case neither team won both games. Rock Island held a 7-0 victory over Davenport and in the second meet- ing of the two schools, the latter were victorious 13-6. Moline's underclass- men gained a 6-0 over our sophs in their first meeting but the Island retaliated in their second meeting by holding them to a scoreless tie. East Molineis first- year men bowed to the Islander's in a well-played game to the count of 12-7 after winning the first encounter 18-0. In the other two conference games Rock Island was victorious by de- feating the Galesburg Ponies, 27-0, and then holding Kewanee scoreless while racking up twelve points for themselves. The boys were under the guidance of Coach Lester Glick and Julien Petersen. R. I. R. I.

The Islanders finished third in both the Quad-City and Northwest standings. Making their debut in flashy new uniforms, the Rock Island high grid warriors ran wild in whipping their city rivals, St. Joe, 25 to 6, thus regaining the city crown. The scoring was accomplished by Frank Lomas, who counted two touchdowns on sparkling broken-field runs of 54 and 80 yards each. Cor- poran smashed over for another one while Swede Swedberg scored in the last quarter on a pass from Fink. With a throng of 6,500 spectators in the stands fthis being bargain nightj the Freeport Pretzel-makers set the Islanders back on their heels with a 10 to 0 victory. Featured by a good passing combination, two speedy back- field men, Pinnow and Hasse, and an all-state end, Captain Meyer, most of the play was deep in Crimson and Gold territory. Still suffering from the effects of the previous game, the Islanders took the field in a crippled condition against the renowned Blue Devils of Daven- port. The home town boys lost a disheartening game, 26 to 0. Jack Holzer played an outstanding defensive game while Bob Bender was the principal ground-gainer for the visitors. The Islanders climaxed a successful homecoming with a 12 to 6 defeat at the hands of the Kewanee Boilermakers. After being apparently stopped dusky Frank Lomas shook loose and romped 30 yards to the Islanders' only score. Bob Dasso played a fine defensive game while Lomas carried the brunt on defense. 7938 Seafian A week later the Islanders traveled to Galesburg for their first out-of town clash. They came through, as was expected, with an overwhelming 26 to 6 victory. The feature of the game was the charging of the Rock Island forward wall which was responsible for every touchdown. On October 21 our crimson-clad warriors returned with scalps of the Gem city players of Quincy. They defeated their hosts by a score of 21 to 0. The op-en field running of Lindeman and Holzer and also the strong defensive play of the entire squad were the most noticeable events. With the enthusiasm at a peak, many students followed the team to Browning field, where our gridmen met their sister-city foes of Moline. The game, although not indicated by the 20-0 Maroon victory, was interesting and packed with thrills. Holzer received an injury in this game which kept him out for the rest of the season. 'fHere's mud in your eyel' was the battle cry as Rock Island slipped and splashed to a 6-0 victory over Monmouth at the latter's field. The pass offense sparkled for the Islanders and proved to be their best attack. Lomas passed to Swedberg to set up the touchdown, which Mosher scored. East Moline, who had previously tied both Davenport and Moline, was the last of the Islander's obstacles and was hurdled by the '4Scanmen, 7-0. Again a pass to Swedberg, this time thrown by Bosold, put the Islanders in scoring position. Mosher carried the ball over the final marker, but fumbled, and Schladt recovered for six points. A pass Lomas to Swedberg added the seventh point. The game drew the curtain on the prep careers of 16 Islanders. This last victory gave the Islanders third place in the Quad-City standings and a tie with Kewanee for third place in the Northwest Conference race.

A week later, paced by Swedberg, who tallied 18 points, they walloped Kewaneeys Boilermakers 38-24. The following night they traveled to Geneseo where they were victorious 29-14. Friday, the sixteenth, the team traveled to Galesburg and came home with a victory. The score of the game was 27-14. The next game decided the city championship, which R. I. retained by de- feating St. Joe 39-21. This was the last game of 1938. On January 3 our gym was the scene of the battle between the alumni and the varsity. The varsity lost by the count of 24-21 for their first setback of the season. Then we met those terrible Swedes from Moline and went down in defeat, 31-17. A week later Rocky Hi was host to the Davenport Blue Devils and this marked the third setback of the Islanders. The score- board at the end of the fracas read, R. I. 29, Davenport 43. Twenty-four hours later the Islanders suffered an unexpected and severe loss to the Monmouth Maroons to the tune of 33-18. The following Friday the Gold and Crimson clad boys lost a heartbreaker to East Moline on the latter's court by the slim margin of 30 to 29. On January 27 the Islanders were pitted against the Kewanee Boilermakers for their second game of the season with each other and this time the Kewaneeans were on top of the 24-23 count. But the next night Orion entered our gym with hopes of victory but were repulsed in a well-played game 39 to 31. 1938-1939 Seann In February R. I. won three games as compared to two losses. They opened festivities by thumping Galesburg, 37-31 on our own floor. The Moline Fieldhouse was the scene of the Islander's return clash with the league-leading Maroons. Again the team came out at the short end of the score with Moline 35, Rock Island 24. With the score knotted 31-all at the end of the regulation playing time, the Islanders forced the highly-touted Blue Devils of Davenport into an overtime before succumbing to the cross-the-river lads. Undismayed by the loss of the previous night the Rocky Hi basketeers returned to their own gym to avenge the defeat handed them by Monmouth earlier in the season. The score was R. I. 38, Monmouth 22. In their final conference game the Islanders again avenged an earlier defeat by turning back East Moline in our gym by a score of 26-19. This was the final game of the regular season and enabled the Islanders to tie East Moline for third place in the Northwest Conference but was not enough to raise from the cellar of the Quad-City race. The March winds blew in the tournaments which declared the state cham- pion. In the first round of the regional tournament at East Moline, the Is- landers thumped Cordova, then they lost to Moline. Rock Island then de- feated Orion, thereby taking consolation honors. ' Wafuufqk Wickum, W.

In the first meet of the season the Islanders met Davenport's thin-clads and were defeated 133 to 107. Rock Island showed great strength in the distance runs by scoring a grand slam in the mile. The boys were also strong in the dashes and field events. Keith Gotthardt was high scorer with a total of 14 points. The following Saturday, led again by Gotthardt who counted 14 points, the Gold and Crimson lads chalked up a victory over Dubuque. The Islanders' practices were cramped by inclement weather and it took the runners almost a month to gain the form and endurance which was nec- essary to carry them through invitational meets. After these dual meets, the Islander thin-clads, showing power in the field events, and relays, breasted the scoring tape 21 points ahead of its nearest competitor, Moline, in the Northwest Conference meet. This victory made Rock Island co-champions of the general activities of the conference. The following week the Islander's gained a victory in the Black Hawk district meet. This victory enabled the Islanders to send their team to the finals at the University of Illinois. Shelton, half-miler, broke the record in that event in the fine time of 2'1.3 .

The cheer leaders strutted their stuff at every football and basketball game and at pep assemblies. These four students were elected by the student body early last fall and carried on throughout the school year. Siaafwffiff Perhaps the least mentioned students were the student managers. Spargo and Downs spent many a cold, rainy night out on the practice field watching equipment, assisting Scan. Then when basketball season rolled around, Young and Trego devoted two and three hours each night to their duties.
