Just as all war plants have a representative clearance board, composed of employers and employees who settle pro- duction problems, so Rock Is- land High School has its stu- dent governing boardg namely, the Senate. Student problems are brought to the Senate meetings, where they are first discussed and then acted upon. One of the outstanding fea- tures of Senate activities is the sponsoring of Old-Clothes Day. This annual feature took on a new aspect this year when it b e c a m e Costume-and-Old- Clothes Day. First raw, from left to right: T. Hainline, J. Minteer, J. Lofgren, V. Denecke, D. Collier, M.

univr 0 ice:- Although this book is primarily a senior l book, no account of high school life would be complete without mention of the undergrad- uate classes. This year the junior and sophomore classes have taken leading roles in our production ef- forts. Because so many of the senior boys have gone into the armed services, many of the jobs they formerly held are going to industrious underclassmen. Especially in the Held of athletics have the juniors made themselves felt. They are rapid- ly becoming the leaders of clubs and groups and are well represented in all phases of school life. The sophomores too have been pressed into emergency service and form an integral part of our educational system. Among the activities sponsored by the junior and sophomore classes are their very success- ful school parties. The juniors also presented their sparkling comedy, The Fighting Littlesf' It is with the calm certainty of a bright fu- ture that Rocky High can look to the junior and sophomore classes for leadership. 0 Left to right: M.
