Kneeling, left to right: E. F. Mills, chief custodian, Harry Blocklinger, W. H. Barnes, Roland G. Parker. Standing, left to Tight: Walter Dunlap, Thomas L. Schroeder, Mrs. Lettie Willetts, William C. Cliff, Kenneth Reem. Shining glass and polished floors typify Rock Island High School due to the tireless efforts of the custodian force. The blocks of halls and numerous rooms are daily cleaned and swept. Pounds of waste paper are collected daily. Thousands of panes of window glass are washed many times annually. And, of course, the boilers are regulated to insure com- fort and heat to all in the building. Theirs is a mighty task! Supplying over 600 people with food five times a week is no easy task for our cafeteria workers. Rock Island can be proud of its tasty, home- like meals. Although a few prices have increased slightly because of the War, a Well-balanced healthful meal can still be purchased for a small sum-a credit to any high school. ' Sat Inset, Miss Lee.

Sandie Senate Officers: Bill Wood, president, Donna Miers, vice-president, Bette Schneider, secretary. The visible representative of student governing in Rock Island High School-the Senate-took over its duties with new vim and vigor in the 1941-1942 season. Leading the group during the fall semester was President Bill Wood, who, after graduating in January, assigned his position to Vice-president Donna Miers. Bette Schneider served as secre- tary for the entire year. This body of sixty members, under the spon- sorship of Mr. E. S. Metcalf, dean of boys, was elected entirely by Rock Island High School stu- dents and has lived up to the requirements for Senators made by the 1940-1941 student govern- ing body. In October, the officers, Bill, Donna, and Bette, along with Bill McCaf'free and Charles Marshall, attended the Northwest conference of student councils. At that conference, Sherman Hurt was chosen president of the council for next year and Betty Stone was chosen secretary. Rock Island will be host to this group next fall. Senate group. Row 1-H.
