Mr. Austin, trailed by reporter Dennis Sears on a Crier assign¬ ment, checks the arrival of a group of chinchillas for laboratory study. f I ' 8 introduction ing feet, a solid beat, a smile that’s sweet, add up to a successful Friday dancing lesson in the gym. No longer does the word school bring to mind grim thoughts of stick- wielding schoolmasters, hard, back¬ less benches, pot-bellied stoves, and the dry, ponderous books of the old one-room schoolhouse. Today, pleas¬ ant, fully-prepared instructors, comfor¬ table desks, cheery classrooms, and new, progressive courses form the mo¬ dem school. The complex, exacting world of 1957 demands well-trained, competent citi¬ zens; a demand met by the various vocational shops, many secretarial training courses, DO, DE, and home economics classes, which provide prac¬ tical experience. introduction 9 Well-rounded personalities, alert minds, and healthy bodies are also cultivated in classes such as art, dancing, organ, journalism, and physical education. Rock Island high school, planned to equip young men and women with the knowledge and ability to lead suc¬ cessful lives, accomplishes this ideal through a comprehensive, in¬ telligent curriculum. From Shubert ' s waltzes and Sousa ' s marches to the Mickey Mouse Mambo, William Koeller displays his versatility as a student organist. Between-class-dashers sometimes resort to sandpa¬ per and burglar tools to manipulate uncooperative locks, but Judith Allen’s private storeroom does not seem to need such persuasions. To these halls come eager teens, filled with anticipation yet pricked with doubts. Easily adaptable, the new¬ comers quickly fit into the bustling scene and established routine like sea¬ soned upperclassmen. They soon ex¬ plore the half-hidden crannies and map out routes from classes. They memor¬ ize every teacher ' s name and recog¬ nize new classmates. They acquaint themselves with Rocky facilities: silent library, confining detention hall, hustling cafeteria, and awesome excuse and deans ' office; they become familiar with established customs: sophomore quarantine from front stairs, mass of red letter sweaters on Fridays, and dread of report cards every six weeks. 10 introduction Week of planning murals and fashioning foil decorations and mobiles culminate in Robert Huneke s placing a tinsel star atop the Christmas tree. Joan Soelzer and Francois Deschenes assist in this art department project. introduction 1 1 Frequent excursions into the library remain an unforgotten part of busy high school days. Joel Novak and Judith Schmitt make ' jse of the extensive facilities and reading material. Teens Mature with New Friends, Studies, Ideas, Plans Lockers act not only as storerooms but as leaning posts for many Rocky High couples like Wayne Shellhouse and Janet Schuster when they snatch a brief rendezvous between classes. Soon, these book-toters leave be¬ hind their junior high hesitation and adolescence. They express their own ideas and beliefs in club meetings, classroom themes and recitations, and the mock political rally. Shyness fades, and new acquaintances become close friends. All too swiftly they are seniors. This final year is a rush of preparing and planning. Mailboxes overflow with col¬ lege catalogues and applications; scholarship tests challenge their know¬ ledge; class ranks and percentages fill their minds; and College Day repre¬ sentatives remind them of the near¬ ness of a new chapter in their lives. From adolescent teen-agers to adult- minded young people, R1HS guides students through the maturing years, the high school years. 1 2 introduction ■ Loyal Democrats exhibit husky voices and artistic talent as well as support of Adlai and Estes in a rousing demonstration during the 1957 mock political rally. When representatives from 40 universities and business schools came to Rocky High for College Day, many seniors skipped classes to hold interviews with them. Thomas Tingle and David Isaacson discuss future plans with a University of Iowa delegate. 13 Floating balloons elude outstretched hands in a scramble for souvenirs of the annual Sno Ball, highlight of the winter season, sponsored by CYC.

Seven hours a day, a teacher meets and challenges a classroom of youth¬ ful minds, realizing that to some she is thought of only as the all-seeing eye that detects a hastily-passed note . . . the superhuman ear that catches and traces a muffled whisper . . . the light¬ ning-like voice that strikes out and de¬ mands an immediate recitation from an unsuspecting victim . . . the un¬ merciful hand that slashes a composi¬ tion with red and seals its fate with a grade . . . Yet all this is balanced and made worthwhile when a teacher reads a discerning composition, hears a well- reasoned answer, and sees the birth of a new thought, the dawn of a new understanding . . . this truly is the reward of teaching. Rustling papers, subdued coughs, and shuffling feet are the only sounds that mar silent study in the library, focal point for all academic work. 16 curriculum curriculum 17 Amid broken test tubes, distinctive chemistry odors, leaf re p o r t s , and dropped weights in physics class, Roc¬ ky ' s amateur scientists work on pro¬ jects, experiments, and research stud¬ ies to develop individual scientific thinking. These various activities are included in the three main fields of the science department; biology, the study of life; chemistry, the study of elements and their chemical behavior; and physics, the study of forces and energy. Combining artistic ability and biological study, Linda Johnson proves the need of light in the growth of plants. Hoping for a successful chemistry experiment, Janet Rudasill assists Jane Bahnsen in setting up a burette for a titration test. HAROLD V.

Spanish and French students strug¬ gle through conversations in these tongues and find that slight mispro¬ nunciations can result in amusing statements. To add variety to textbook work, language teachers lead Christ¬ mas carols in Spanish and French and sometimes show colored slides of the foreign lands. With the world shrinking, due to improved transportation methods, mas¬ tering a foreign language becomes more important. It helps to create a better understanding among peoples throughout the world.

Trainees Gain Business Know-How in Stores, Factories Thank you, madam, come again is the watchword for many Diversified Occupations and Distributive Educa¬ tion students as they prepare for future jobs and careers. In DE, organized in 1952, selling techniques, including salesmanship, display, grooming, and personality, are studied and put into practice in the third floor lab. In DO, originated in 1951, each mem¬ ber studies a topic helpful to him on his particular job—typesetting by the printing apprentice or hair styling by a future beauty operator. JOHN L.

Accuracy ii the goal of Richard Geisler and Constance Arndt, sophomores, as they correct their themes with the aid of dictionaries. Commas, apostrophes, nouns, and direct objects appear in unsuspected places as English students discover. Knowing these mechanics is vital to speaking in correct grammatical form and is developed through oral recita¬ tions and reports. The typical student can probably recite Antony ' s funeral speech, re¬ count fully Silas Marner ' s life, or de¬ scribe the literary characteristics of the Romantic Age. This familiarity comes from constructive reading. Pencil-pushing students are also aware of the value of writing; and themes, book reports, essay tests, and term papers remain unforgotten parts of English-conscious high school days. By reporting on a book he has read, David Sorensen hopes to encourage other sopho¬ more English students to read more widely. NICHOLAS l. PESCHANG, MA, English, BS, English. CAROLYN P.

Interest in the social studies phase of high school curriculum has been boosted this year by the mock political convention, field trips, lecturers, and subscriptions to weekly news maga¬ zines. The department ' s chief aim is to show how man lives in society through the study of history, man ' s past soci¬ ety; government, how the present so¬ ciety is governed; economics, how to earn a living in the future; and geo¬ graphy, the world in which society lives.

Plenty of paper, paint, metals, chalk, and creative thought are necessary to the art department in teaching stu¬ dents to appreciate and enjoy art. Through hours of group and individ¬ ual practice and actual performing, the band and orchestra members earn a musical education and exercise their talents. The speech department, through plays, interpretive reading, original monologues, and extracurricular per¬ formances, equips students to comm¬ unicate and express themselves better. Up and down the scales go the members of the vocal music depart¬ ment as they develop better tones through proper breathing and learn the value of good music and the en¬ joyment of singing.

Typical school activities like spell¬ ing contests, typing and shorthand tim¬ ings, math tests, balancing budgets, and writing assignments may never be repeated in the business world; but the knowledge they provide and the skills they develop will be utilized in future careers. These practical prepar¬ ations are carried on in the shorthand, accounting, personal records, clerical practice, secretarial training, and com¬ mercial arithmetic and law classes. The effective teaching of instructors and the mechanically well-equipped business education courses are respon¬ sible for ably preparing the 90 per cent of the students in this depart¬ ment who enter some type of busi¬ ness.

Contrary to the customary classroom equipment of paper, pencil, and text¬ book, the girls of the home economics classes employ pots, pans, needles, thread, and cloth. Their homemaking arts are displayed at faculty teas and open house where the students prepare the refreshments and at style shows where the seam¬ stresses model their own creations.

Profits are often earned by metal shop students who produce home ad¬ dress signs, gun racks, tool boxes, and hammer heads. With an eye toward entering the spring contest, vocational machine shop boys work on individual projects which include bench vises, a motor scooter frame, and various motors. Bruce Hill and Harvey Jackson shape a hammer handle on a metal lathe as part of their machine shop study.

Activities include tennis, golf, ar¬ chery, speedball, basketball, football, calisthenics, ping pong, volleyball, shuffleboard, badminton, modern dance, and social dance, all of which aim to develop students mentally, so¬ cially, and physically.

Roaming through the shelves, ency¬ clopedias, and college materials, rea¬ ders utilize the huge selection of non¬ fiction, fiction, and reference books in the library. Librarians file cards, no¬ tify those who have overdue books, and teach students how to use library facilities. Those who are ill or injured may receive first aid in the clinic from the school nurse, who also advises girls interested in the nursin g profession. Hastily passed notes, hushed voices whispering, and students cramming for those next period tests are memorable activities of Rocky High ' s study halls. 34 library, book store, nurse, study hall Learning how to drive on the right side of the road, to work the standard shift, to slip the clutch, to park in a busy downtown street after trying to park between flag poles, and reading about the mechanism of a car for Friday theory class—qll these activi¬ ties are well remembered by any Roc¬ ky High student who ever took advan¬ tage of the fine teaching methods of the driver education department. As it is actually no longer a luxury to drive but a necessity, the driver training teachers strive to teach under¬ standing of the rights and privileges of the Illinois highways, to teach ap¬ preciation of the use of the automo¬ bile, and to develop the right attitude toward other drivers. Carburetors, fuel pumps, pistons, and valves are introduced to driver training students Myrna Johnston, Ruth Ann Pullman, John Sigsworth, and John Sackfield by Mr. Schultz, instructor.

No student at Rock Island high school completes a school year with his life untouched by one of the deans. Many students remember the deans as helping hands when their economic, social, or scholastic problems are too great to bear alone. A few think of them as restricting hands that occa¬ sionally propel wayward students to awaiting desks in detention hall. As guiding hands, the deans offer advice in choosing the curriculum which will fulfill individual needs and interests. To the seniors, they are the hands of the future as they aid the prospective graduates in selecting a college or career. Miss Florence J. Liebbe, dean of girls, shows college catalogues to Sally Stengel in helping her decide her vocation and further schooling. Principal, School Board, Deans Guide 1500 Students Checking the attendance record and issuing an excused absence card to James Murphy is Her¬ bert L. Wagner, dean of boys. As the legislature is to the state, the Rock Island Board of Education is to the school, explained Earl H. Han¬ son, serving his 20th year as superin¬ tendent of schools. An important step taken by the board in the 1956-57 year was the beginning of the $180,000 school addi¬ tion, which it is hoped will be finished a year from next fall. Also, the school area was doubled by annexing Milan, Doxee, Ginger Hill, and Ridgewood, thus adding 1,000 students to the dis¬ trict. ’administration 38 Even before he sounds the chimes at 8:40, indicating that another day is underway, Charles O.

What is a year book? It is the thrill of creating, a sudden inspiration, an endless search for perfection. It is the drudgery of daily piecework, discour¬ aging frustrations, hard-reached com¬ promises. It is born out of a closely- knit group, suggesting, arguing, coop¬ erating to make a unified whole. Innovation, experimentation, and re¬ organization have been the keywords of the 1956-57 Watchtower. There has been the shift to a new printing com¬ pany and an offset book. Emphasis has been placed on a previously neg¬ lected part of school life, the classroom. Special research has been made to depict Rocky ' s 100 years of progress. Even the staff has undergone change with the addition of four senior assis¬ tants. 4 2 watchtower Counting and packaging the day ' s take from the Watchtower’s candy machine are vending machine manager Jon Michaelsen and assistants Bruce Bain, William Bailey, and Jeffrey Conn.

The long, preparatory months of writing, reworking, memorizing, and repeating readings led to the initial round in the State Speech contest, the Regional meet at East Moline. Rock Island High won the sweepstakes, and all contestants advanced to the Sec¬ tional at Pekin. Despite stiffer competition in this round, RI entrants ranked high. Judith Katz and Tom Whitmore won first place in their fields of serious and comedy play readings, and Michael Neff placed second in original oration qualifying them for the state finals at Champaign. Third place honors were awarded to John Seward in ora¬ torical declamation, Sally Ingold in original monologue, and the play cut¬ ting Death Takes a Holiday ' Speakers, Play Cop First in Regional; Second, Sectional; He is—his Majesty, Death, amusing himself on a holidoy. A gripping climax in the Speech contest play, Death Takes a Holiday, is reached when John Seward, center, reveals to son, Richard Gralak, and houseguests, Sally Ingold and Judith Allen, the fatal identity of the mysterious stranger in their midst. 44 speech contests Appreciation of American ideals, forceful writing, and sincere delivery result in third place honors for Linda Geifman; second, Janice Holcomb; and first, Judith Katz in the “I Speak for Democracy ' contest. Win Top Spots in Quad-City Voice of Democracy Contest A banquet table complete with flowers and two attentive diners helps Darrell Darling to get into the mood of his after-dinner speech. Receiving his humorous words of advice are original oratory entrant, Michael Neff, and extempore speaker, David Clark. Sally Stengel, verse reader, remembers practice makes perfect” as she recites a selection to Sally Ingold, taking a recess from memorizing her orig¬ inal monologue and “meter-seekers.” 45 speech contests Lighting effects, curtain cues, and scene shifts are the roles played by unsung stage hands, Francois Deschenes and William Beaston, during the Speech II play. Charley’s Aunt (Elizabeth Califf) is reunited with her early love. Sir Francis Chesney (Fairol Robbins). In the Oxford garden, the entire cast of “Charley’s Aunt gathers for a tea party with Donald Hoepner masquerading as hostess. 46 speech II play Stage-Struck Juniors An enthusiastic audience offered their hands—in greeting and applause —to Charley ' s Aunt when she visi¬ ted Rocky High playgoers Jan. 17, 1957. Presented by the Speech II students, this was, ' for many juniors, their ini¬ tial taste of the stage. During rehearsal, the cast quickly learned to sandwich homework in be¬ tween cues and to get along with co¬ workers through dragging hours of practicing together. Lines were memor¬ ized, movements learned, and expres¬ sions mastered until performance night. Before curtain time, all they had learned disappeared; minds went blank. There were panic and confu¬ sion backstage. Then the curtain rose, and all the efforts of the past weeks were realized as the characters came alive and the play moved on. At curtain call, the applause and laughter of the audience rewarded the cast, and they knew they had made the visit of Charley ' s Aunt an en¬ joyable and amusing one. ”1 iayl Let Charley have a go at it.

Upperclassmen Summon ' Broadway-Bound ' Actors To Don A pensive Patricia Parr awaits her cue as fellow senior class play members, Ronald Janecke, John Seward, and Sandra Wiklund, run through an early script rehearsal of “Dark Victory. 48 junior class play While rehearsal of “Dark Victory proceeds at full swing on the “big stage, Sandra longacre, Sally Stengel, and Jon Littig use the seclusion of the Little Theater to brush up on a scene in their off¬ stage moments. With an expression of self-satisfaction, Duncan Bailey, center, describes to Carol Lincke, Joseph Robb, Char¬ lotte Heth, and Darla Rodden the new hospital wing to which he has generously contributed. The scene is one of many recorded in Dr. Hudson’s Secret Journal. Greasepaint, Costumes, New Personalities in Class Plays Calling all aspiring actors and ac¬ tresses—if you are interested in ap¬ pearing in an ' oscar-winning ' produc¬ tion and have acting ability, please report to try-outs. Many Broadway- bound students responded to this ap¬ peal and received parts in one of the class plays. Secrets hidden in a doctor ' s private files were revealed by the junior cast, March 26, when they disclosed “Dr. Hudson ' s Secret Journal. Spiritually significant, it showed a hard-headed business man converted into a sincere philanthropist through the acts of Dr. Hudson and hospital acquaintances. The senior class play, Dark Vic¬ tory, presented May 3, portrayed the drama of a rich, young debutante who discovered, after a severe fall, she had a brain injury and would become blind and die in a few months. Through the inspiring love of her phy¬ sician, she found the courage to ac¬ cept fate and live her remaining life to the utmost. 49 junior class play At a pre-performance practice, Constance Hamilton, Karen Munch, Darrell Darling, Jean Wessel, and Jane Ehrgoff freeze” for a tableau in a scene from the junior class play. Suspense Ends as Coronation Inaugurates Homecoming Elizabeth McKnight and Sandra Schmacht were elected by student vote to attend the queen. The processional music swelled from the organ, the auditorium was hushed with tense anticipation, the curtains opened on the colorful throne. Rocky waited for the announcement of the 1956 Homecoming royalty. The curtains fluttered, and atten¬ dants Elizabeth McKnight and Sandra Schmacht stepped to their honored positions at the throne steps. A mo¬ ment passed, then the entire audience rose as one in honor of the queen, Judith K. Nelson, who ascended her throne. Receiving the coveted crown, Queen Judith then gave the royal command that brought victory to the team and made Homecoming, 1956, an even greater celebration. 50 homecoming An avalanche of orders for boxes of crepe paper, kleenex, napkins, toilet paper, and yards of chicken wire be¬ fell merchants as high school shoppers purchased the essentials or scoured lumber yards for boards needed to construct floats. The drudging hours of work dragged long into the night to the accompani¬ ment of rasping saws cutting props, rapping hammers joining skeletal fig¬ ures, swishing paper being stuffed into countless holes by numb fingers, and weary humming of endless conversa¬ tion. Parade time arrived; the work was completed, the hours of tiresome labor were past, and the satisfying feeling of pride lay ahead. Gusty winds snatched at loose papers as the parade wound through downtown streets, and then the prize winners were announced. The many fun-filled hours and the great sense of accomplishment will be long remembered by all who partici¬ pated in this first Homecoming parade in almost 20 years. Towering over a defeated South Bend “player,’ a Rocky “athlete” predicts the outcome of the Homecoming game. Buddy Cliff and Judith Katz add the final touches to the foyer display.

Which have been singing two years. However, this is the initial year for the members of the girls ' trio. One group which has acquired lo¬ cally a lot of fame—and some fortune, too—is the Naturalaires. The boys have entertained audiences at the Plantation, the Tower, and the Black- hawk and LeClaire hotels. Appearing in several Barbershop contests, the Teentuners have also sung at many churches in the Quad-Cities. The girls ' trio performed at the Jewish Center, the County Boys ' home, and Namequa Lodge. Both quartets matched talents with the Hilltoppers when they appeared on their special presentation last fall.

Debaters Scour Books, Speech Rules To Present Cases To learn more about the farm pro¬ blem, Rock Island high school deba¬ ters plow, not through fields of hay, but through stacks of books. They are trying to find a solution to todays farm conflict and to determine whether 90 per cent of parity should be granted to all major agricultural products. During class time and after school, debaters feud over the proper way to handle the issue. Walking past room 308 after school, one might think a major battle is underway because of all the commotion, but it ' s really just debate practice. Constant drilling, along with deter¬ mination and hard study under the direction of P. J. Martin, prepare de¬ baters for tournaments. Here teams from several schools contest, each up¬ holding its own plans and solutions to Ezra Benson ' s headache. 58 debate During a practice session, sophomore debaters Phillip Nies and Bruce Levin brush up on the farm problem and develop the skills of public speaking.

During first and second periods, the re-enacting of all the scurrying, shuffling, and shouting involved in put¬ ting together a city newspaper can be observed. It is on a smaller scale, of course, except for the headaches, as staff members would point out. As publication day draws near, a definite pattern emerges from the gen¬ eral hubbub, and 217 becomes a com¬ bination city room, copy desk, and ad¬ vertising department.

Rock Island Cagers Roll to Impressive 25-3 Record; A lightning-like fast break, tremen¬ dous shooting, outstanding height, and a well-balanced scoring attack helped Rock Island ' s basketball squad post the second best record in the school ' s history. Tying a Rock Island record for wins in a season, the Rocks compiled a 25-3 mark for the campaign. By win¬ ning 21 of 23 during the regular sea¬ son, the Islanders swept the Northwest and Quad-City conference champion¬ ships with unbeaten records. Coach Bob Riley, in his first year as varsity coach, led his Rocks onto the Regional title and into the finals of the Sectional tourney. The Rocks, averaging nearly 70 points per game, bowed out of tour¬ nament play in the Sectional final when Galesburg ' s Silver Streaks used a control game for a 23-21 victory. The Islanders, twice-conquerors of the Streaks, went through the entire first period without a point, led at halftime 10-8, at the end of the third quarter by 17-14, then lost in the last four seconds of the final stanza. During the successful year, the Rocks built three long winning skeins. Starting with seven straight wins, the Rocks first fell to Bloom of Chicago Heights. Getting back on the victory trail against twice-defending state champion West Rockford, Rock Island scored ten verdicts in succession be¬ fore city-rival Alleman handed the Is¬ landers their only other regular season loss. 82 basketball RI OPP 73 York 56 58 Leyden 48 64 St. Ambrose 60 54 Galesburg 51 81 Dubuque 65 72 Moline 59 67 Alleman 60 58 Bloom 74 78 West Rockford 66 84 Monmouth 40 69 Clinton 61 80 East Moline 47 55 Dubuque (O.T.) 53 62 Kewanee 50 74 Davenport 58 79 Galesburg 67 86 Clinton 53 77 Moline 69 60 Alleman 62 96 Monmouth 55 72 Davenport 49 61 East Moline 46 59 Kewanee 54 Regional Tournament 96 Riverdale 43 52 Moline 43 44 Alleman 42 Sectional Tournament 89 Alwood 51 21 Galesburg 23 Don Notion, junior, leans back under the basket in order to dump in another two points to add to his 39 point single game school basketball record, which shattered last year’s 33 point record set by leRoy Zentic. c Capture Northwest, Quad-City, Regional Championships Eight more triumphs, four in tour¬ nament action before the Galesburg setback, gave the Rock Island crew its third winning streak of the season. Flooring a starting five that aver¬ aged 6 ft. 3 in., the Rocks used their height to dominate the boards and setup their effective fast break. The long-legged Rocks, with exceptionally good speed for a tall quintet, com¬ bined the rebounding and speed to execute the offensive weapon. Highly-rated throughout the season, the Islanders lived up to their lofty ranking by whipping such potent op¬ ponents as Alleman, Galesburg, and Clinton each twice, and West Rockford, once. Junior center Don Nelson, improving as the year progressed, led the team in scoring with 354 points. Larry Dun¬ lap, whose clutch shooting helped the Rocks down Moline and Alleman in the tournament, finished second in points with 328 and was the Quad- Cities ' top field goal shooter, percen¬ tage-wise. Wayne Shellhouse and Jim Flowers each had 327 points with the fifth starter, junior Joe Novak, working as the playmaking guard. A good bench was instrumental in the Rock Island victories. Sixth man, Jim Draper, a 6 ft. 4 in. senior, topped the reserves and hit for over 200 points, fifth high on the club. Jeff Conn, Bud McRoberts, Bill Bisby, and Don Derk- sen completed the top ten Rock Island cagers. basketball 83 Larry Dunlap Senior forward Jim Flowers Senior guard Joe Novak tries a two-handed jump shot in order to get past Bob Hoff¬ man ' s block in Rock Island ' s second meeting with Galesburg.

The sophomores started the season with an impressive five-game win¬ ning streak, which was finally squelched by Moline in a nerve-rack¬ ing overtime that ended, 70-64. After suffering a 17-point defeat by Alleman in the early half of the season, the Pebbles rallied in their second tilt with the Pioneers and man¬ aged to rack up a 17-point win.

Sports-Minded Misses Compete in Intramural Contests Many Rocky girls extended their physical education activity by joining the Girls ' Athletic association, where in intramurals, sports-minded misses competed in speedball, basketball, volleyball, ping pong, shuffleboard, baseball, and badminton. But sports weren ' t all GAA offered; members donned roller skates, searched for the unusual for scavenger hunts, and attended an old-fashioned box social at monthly meetings. At the main club affair, the annual slumber party held during the Christmas holi¬ days, many blurry-eyed R o c k e 11 e s danced and played the night through, stumbled home to bed the next morn¬ ing, and after a day ' s sleep, bragged about their endurance. Girls turned into carpenters, artists, and constructionists for another club project, decorating the gym for the Homecoming dance. With all these ac¬ tivities, it is not surprising that GAA boasted the largest membership of any school ' organization. In the intramural shuffleboard tournament, Elizabeth McKnight, Constance Hunsley, 114 girls ' athletic association G A A publicity agents Marcia Hance, secretary; Sally Knudsen, vice-president; Nancy Collins, president; and Nancy Hammerlund, treasurer, design an eye-catching poster to attract laggard members to the next meeting.

In Rock Island Man Power To train promoters for bathing beau¬ ty contests is not part of Hi-Y, but members tried their hands at this en¬ joyable task as part of their club ac¬ tivities. From the bull sessions at the YMCA organized just for conversation and cut-ups, this all-male club planned its 1957 schedule of events. Mimicking the detective skills of Sherlock Holmes, the boys searched Rocky ' s female ranks and followed all clues leading to any luscious ladies. They perched their feminine finds atop two cabin cruiser floats, which they entered in the Homecoming parade. Hi-Y was not always concentrated on just fun; it also played its part in citizen-building programs. Last fall, Tom Whitmore and Francois Deschen- es, Robert McDonald, Donald Brown, and Robert Turner represented RIHS at the Hi-Y Leadership conference. Many boys also participated in the Youth in Government program, during which Eugene Gipe and Robert Turner attended the Youth Legislature at Springfield, May 3 and 4. h.-y 119 Front row: Robert Caudill, Howard Friedman, Ronald Bawmann, Richard Chipman, James Jennings, and Arthur Wright.

Forming a blanket of red letter sweaters in the basketball cheering section, Rocky ' s RI men boomed out with cheers of Is everybody happy? and Hip hip hooray! to contribute to school spirit and good sportsman¬ ship. Besides donating their energy and voice-volume, the members also car¬ ried on money-making projects throughout the year. With their earn¬ ings, they purchased useful school e- quipment, a movie camera for record¬ ing football and basketball games. This served not only as entertainment but as instruction in detecting faulty plays. The Lettermen-Faculty game and the Varsity Show, under the direction of Coach H. V. Shorty Almquist, were two other major undertakings of these athletes this year. The boys directed a junior high school track meet in the spring. 1 20 lettermen’s club Front row: Buddy Cliff, Dennis Sears, John Stauffer, Lorry Morckese, William Wilkens, ond Bruce Sigler.

Spain—land of lovely senoritas in lace mantillas, half-hidden senors un¬ der huge sombreros, bloody bullfights, afternoon siestas, and, most of all, pas¬ sionate Latin romance. No doubt these fascinating thoughts induced many students to join Pan American League. However, after belonging to this club sponsored by Miss Clara Fana- kos and Miss Malvina Caloine, mem¬ bers realized there was more to be discovered about Spain and Mexico than just what travel posters offered. Through slides and lectures, Leaguers explored customs, histories, and cul¬ tures of Latin countries. They even cel¬ ebrated Christmas in the native style at a pinata party. As host to the Quad-Cities 9 annual Pan American League banquet, Rocky ' s chapter entered actively in the national movement to stir interest in Spanish-speaking countries.

Cheering with Yells, Placards Officers Lynne Urie, president; Marcia Col¬ lins, treasurer; and Cynthia Burke, secretary, model Pep club beanies and arrange cards to be used in the cheering section at the next game. A sea of crimson and gold beanies flooded the Rocky High stadium and gym every home game. This was the Pep club — hub of the cheering sec¬ tion, center of school spirit and team support. Sitting in their reserved section and sporting their regulation uniforms of perky beanies and white blouses, these girls added sparkle as well as noise to the game. From their dainty throats came thunderous, rafter-rat¬ tling shouts and cheers. This vocal force challenged rival spectators and often led not just to athletic contests but to cheering contests too. Originality in the club ranks resul¬ ted in two new pep songs, a unique chant called Satisfied, and flash card displays, all of which made Rocky games more exciting and colorful. To show the number of lumens or light intensity through different colored pieces of filter paper, Earl Rogers and Paul Matteson test this device entered in the Quad-City Science Fair. Applied Electronics, Science, Camera Clubs in Council; Like a magnet, Science Council, composed of Science, Camera, and Applied Electronics clubs, draws chem¬ ists, shutterbugs, and electric wizards to its sanctum. Sponsored by George McMaster, members were entertained by movies and speakers and hardened by work on their individual projects for the first Quad-City Science Fair. Potential scientists conducted exper¬ iments in such fields as time lapse photography, soil-less plant growth, and heat effect on fruit flies. Besides providing pictures for RIHS publications, Camera club members exhibited their work in frequent salons. Pictures were entered in two national photography contests. The 15 members of Applied Elec¬ tronics club worked toward qualifying for ham radio licenses. Tentative plans were made for establishing a ham ra¬ dio station in the high school green¬ house. 128 science council A Quad-City Science Fair entry, an oscilloscope showing changes in current, is being soldered by Wesley Marshall, David Bloemsma, and Phyllis Roe.

Under the supervision of Miss Kath¬ ryn Callihan, faculty sponsor, Youth Forum kept many students well-in¬ formed through speakers such as Dr. Stanley Erikson, professor of political science at Augustana college, and a panel discussion group representing the League of Women Voters. Topics ranging from the 1956 Presi¬ dential election to foreign aid proved interesting as well as informative. Even the subject of Elvis Presley and his effect on Americans rated a place on the club ' s slate of programs this year. Youth Forum officers Ann Zeffren, co-president; and Judith K. Nelson, secretary, contact a possible speaker for their monthly meeting to keep Rocky ' s world- minded students well informed. Marilyn Kelsey, co-pres¬ ident, was absent from the picture.

Seniors Cast Backward Glance, Concentrate on Future Inaugurated by the traditional Homecoming dance at which three seniors reigned, and culminated by the junior - senior prom and long- awaited graduation ceremonies, the year was filled with a variety of ac¬ complishments and activities for the senior class. Always on top scholastically, four Rocky seniors received special men¬ tion on the Merit Scholarship exam, and many were rewarded for their arduous three years ' work and fine scholastic record by membership in the National Honor Society. Led on to victory by spirited cheer¬ leaders and enthusiastic upperclass¬ men, the varsity teams tallied up a successful year. Pep-wise, the senior class was well-represented by three of the varsity cheerleaders, Lynne Urie, Susan Biehl, and Lois Leinenwever, who urged their “downfront class¬ mates to win almost all cheering con¬ tests. As stars of dramatic, speech, and senior class plays, seniors proved themselves to be talented actors, stagehands, and directors. Playing in band and orchestra and vocalizing in glee clubs, the graduating students were in the limelight musically. Seniors also starred in designing art displays and winning poster con¬ tests, participating in debate, and be¬ coming adept businessmen in Junior Achievement. Many Rocky names made news this year, and to record the high school story were senior journalists on The Crimson Crier, Watchtower, and local newspapers. Their high school careers completed, seniors now g o on to a future job in college or business equipped with the knowledge and experience of the past three years. 138 seniors Kieth Albee Judith Allen Dolores Allison Orville Anderson Patricia Anderson Connie Andrew Florence Arday Eldon Arden John Argo Gaylee Asquith Sandra Atkinson Carol Bailey Linda Barnard Mildred Barnes Sandra Barr Final Year One of Mixed Feelings, Thoughts, Actions c- Beverly Bartman Shirley Batson Ronald Bawmann James Bealer Jeanne Bealer Edward BeDuhn Betty Bellegante Marilyn Bensch Lawrence Benson Barbara Berger Susan Biehl Jean Birkeland 1 39 � eniors Gary Bisby Carolyn Blakey Kenneth Blankenship Jeanne Bleuer Dale Blocklinger David Bloemsma Kenneth Blunt Janice Bohatka Michael Bollman Robert Boltz Carolyn Bond Arthur Bowes Beverly Boyd Sally Brody Thomas Brooks . . .

DAR Honors Outstanding Boy, Girl; Rotarians Host 18 RIHS Junior Rotarians and DAR winners introduced fellow students to a new concept of the far-reaching ac¬ tivities of city organizations. Chosen by the faculty on the basis of character and participation in school events, two senior boys attended monthly Rotary dinner meetings. This Rotarian program promoted teen-age interest in community affairs and helped teach Rock Island ' s future lead¬ ers the responsibilities of civic duty. Peak of achievement, the DAR award presented each year by the Fort Armstrong chapter of the Daugh¬ ters of the American Revolution was one of the highest honors seniors re¬ ceived. Selected by a senior and fac¬ ulty election, Judith Katz earned the girls ' award. Jeffrey Conn won the DAR award for boys in an election by the school administration. Both winners were chosen because of their past records of leadership, scholarship, and service. Because they exemplify outstanding traits of scho¬ larship, leadership, and citizenship, Jeffrey Conn and Judith Katz received the DAR awards. 154 junior rotarians and dar winners A few months ago the meaningless figures accumulated on student record cards became suddenly significant. It was that time of year when seven semesters ' efforts were tabulated, and upperclassmen were ranked according to the results. For those who maintained consistent A ' s, there were the coveted honors of valedictorian, salutatorian, and Top Ten members. Rocky ' s feminine minds proved too sharp for the boys, because for the first time in the administration ' s memory, all these positions were filled by girls. Also, 72 scholars were rewarded for their 92 or above averages by auto¬ matically achieving membership in the National Honor Society. Seven were elected by the other eligible seniors possessing at least an 88 average. The voting, based on leadership, service, and character, made the final enroll¬ ment 56 girls and 23 boys.

Their year was not without notable results. Their participation in club ac¬ tivities as officers and energetic mem¬ bers made them vital cogs in each organization. Their enthusiasm was felt as they backed football stars William Bisby and Booker Edgerson and cage stand¬ outs Donald Nelson and Joel Novak. Their talents were proved in the productions of Charley ' s Aunt and Dr. Hudson ' s Secret Journal, by Lin¬ da Geifman ' s placing third in the I Speak for Democracy contest and by Janet Schuster ' s winning first prize in a state art contest.

Watchtower editors Sandra Longacro. Sally Ingold, Ronald Janecke, Tom Whitmore, and Judith Katz wrap up the result of their year ' s trials and triumphs rv as N filey send the proof on its final trip to the printer. v e year of preparation tftat has gone into the making of this 1957 Watchtower, the editorial staff has had to call upon many others to assist in the production of the book. and Hal Coffin, who spent many hours over hard-to-read class lists. Many journalism students, past and present, were drafted as helpers. Grinding out copy for clubs and ac¬ tivities were student writers Duncan $ailey, Lawrence Bennett, Hal Coffin, Darrell Darling, Linda Frisk, Linda Geifman, Marcia Hance, Toby Kaven- sky, Carolyn Jensen, Marilyn Kelsey, Patricia Parr, Lynne Urie, John Wil¬ liams, Carol Bailey, Shirley. Moeller, Carol Pruessing, Ann Zeffren, Sally Stengel, Sandra Wiklund, Adrienne Stulz, Priscilla Stowe, Edith Moses, Bet¬ sy Scott, Rosemary Shepherd, and haryl O ' Melia. The task of “seeing all, knowing all, and doing all ' ' was delegated to our adviser, Miss Virginia Harrod. When questions of typography, copy, headlines, or printing arose, we turned to J. L. Sronce, representative of the Peoria Engraving Company. Paul Callaghan of Paul ' s Studio will be remembered for his many “classic jokes while posing students for senior portraits as well as other photos. Relieved at last from constant pres¬ sure to meet deadlines is the Rock Is¬ land high school Camera club, which contributed the bulk of student shots. Thanks are due to the 1957 journal¬ ism B class for assistance in typing copy and to Diane Arp and her staff of David Collins, Mary Ellen Daniels, Throughout the year the Rock Island Argus has been most co-operative in supplying us with many vital shots. Adding the crowning touch to our 1957 record is the end sheet art work of Janet Schuster. cJL _ acknowledgments 195
