Almost every school has a student senate that discusses and tries to solve the prob- lems that come up in the school. The Rocky High Senate is made up of 43 members, each representing a different senate room. Senators are chosen by the members of their respective senate rooms, and before they are selected, such qualities as good citizenship, loyalty, leadership, and the ability to maintain at least a C average in their studies must be considered. The leaders of this year's Senate were Frank Edwards, presidentg Charles Wil- son, vice-president, and Marilyn Hixson, secretary. The sponsor is E. S. Metcalf, dean of boys at the high school. Meetings are held once a month during the ninth period in his room. Many topics have been brought before the Senate this year. The main projects were the traditional Homecoming dance, the Red Cross boxes sent overseas, and the filling of Christmas baskets sent to needy families of students in the school. Another job for the school which the Senate always undertakes is the planning of the assembly programs for the following year.

Seniaad TIMES CHANGE . . . The following section of THE 1949 WATCHTOWER contains pictures of the graduation class members as they appeared in their senior year. We predict that in the years to come, this section will be the one most often turned to by this year's graduates. We know, too, how surprised these graduates will be in those fleeting moments when they take time out to relive a few experiences at Rocky High. By that time they will have experi- enced the truth of the adage that no one halts time. Here, then, will be an important section of the old family album of Rock Island high school to show how they looked way back when.
