This was the first night Homecoming for Rocky in four years, a high school generation. Zsanet petit, a freshman, put in long hours at Studio 17 School for the Performing Arts in don mown Rock Island. The Studio's plan includes dance, voice, and acting training for all ages. Art requires skill, talent, and an eye for creativity. Jeff Taylor proudly proses he has all of these requirements. as he displays a Mr. Rock creation in the Homecoming parade. CONTENTS OPENING THEME STUDENT LIFE SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS ACADEMICS PEOPLE INDEX CLOSING 118 II I 226 From the spectators viewpoint, the glory of victory sometimes overshadow the hard work, dedication, and drive needed to become a skilled winner. Yet, athletes rarely forget as they push themselves to try just a little harder. Dramatic changes Rocks get This in turn, brought bigger crowds to the games with more spirit and even a new Mr. Rock, to carry out the spirit into the adults and other Rocky fans. The sports program added new teams to make room for the new class and along with it added another way for students to show people that they had the right idea, by supporting even more sports and teams at the Rock. Rocky's athletic ability, academic ability, and the talent to show their spirit and pride anytime, anywhere, finally got on the right track and that was where it stayed. 1 A year had passed and students finally adjusted to the changes. The athletic program changed, the curriculum changed, and the students changed. After the previous year when Rocky added a little more class, it came time for the school to set things straight, and they got moving again in a positive direction, with the students working and getting along together. The time had come to get on the right track” had arrived. The students at the Rock did not have to work to be on the track, they automatically go on when after a long year of struggle they overlooked the set backs and continued to strive onward to achievements that made the students proud of each other, and proud of the school. Rocky’s academics metamorphasised and students achieved goals unknown to them before. Rocky students grabbed the National Merit semi-finals and the finals as well, which chalked one up for the students and also said something about the staff and the track they were on. Whichever one it was it must have been the right one. Athletic programs also took on a new look. The football players got it together to bring about a winning season and snatched the Western Big 6 title as well. After a tough day at school, a raquetball game just might seem refreshing and e en relaxing. Mr. U'ahc ssorks out at the Y with a game of raquetball. Stese Kata, student school board member, presents his speech to the student body. Unlike last year, none of the speeches geared at tearing apart Rocky administration or morale. S In work, school and fun Students adjust Fashions at the Rock got on the right track. The style moved away from preppy and on into punk. Turned up collars and slicked back hair prevailed. Along with the change in style came the raise in prices, which prompted students to think about spending money, and sent them out pounding the pavements to get jobs. It also sent them into banks to open savings accounts. Seniors also began to think about prices of colleges and they looked into opening credit and savings accounts, as well as student loans and scholarships. Before the students left for college, however, three of the seniors attempted to get the school administration in groove with the students. These three posed as the student school board representatives. They were Steve Katz, Chris Cockcrill, and Anthony McGee. They took a positive approach at changing the school to fit the needs of the student body, instead of the usual negative attitude that shot down most proposals. The students had clearly made an attempt at getting the school on the right track and with some minor set backs, achieved this. Instead of letting others do their work for them, some students took to doing things themselves. They turned to making their own wardrobes, getting jobs without the help of the school, and even raising money within the classes themselves. The changes made throughout the year caused some problems for students, as well as administrators, yet the people at the Rock pulled its pride, determination, and its knowledge together to get the school and all it entailed on the way to the correct path. In short. Rocky was on the right track. Jacque Frey joins in a pirra party for the new youth pastor at her church. Bethel Assembly of God.

Students also got a chance to dress backwards or mismatched, in shorts and shades, hats and headbands, and the highlight of the week-punk day. The week came to a close with red-gold day. The usual lunch period activities On Broadway Homecoming dazzles took place too. The hospital bed races, stuffing twenty six people into a car. and running three-legged races, brought screams of laughter. Then, came the big event: the assembly with the announcement of King and Queen with quarterback Dion Brooks and cheerleader Paula Caras stealing the honors. The assembly was livened up with a Mr. Legs contest. The game came that evening, and with it came a disappointing loss. The students, however, did not let the loss spoil their plans for the dance on the next evening. Homecoming week, in all its glory, carried spirit and fun into the halls of Rocky. The fun filled, laughter-packed Homecoming week was clearly on the right track. It was on it’s way to bringing the students together. Paula Carat. Dion Brook .

School lockers served not only as a storage place for books, it also became a showplacc for posters, photos, and paraphernalia on the latest hunks from Hollywood. Lockers were the ideal place to keep the make-up supply, a mirror, and of course, a comb. Home away from home a place for our stuff Often, students grew tired of their drab gray lockers; so they spruced them up with memo-boards, photographs. bulletin boards, and some even added colored baskets to make more room for books. A few creative souls found that scraps of wallpaper added a homic” touch. Although students had been prohibited from sharing lockers, the community locker still existed. The doubling up enabled students to decorate more elaborately because each person contributed her treasured pictures and other decorating necessities. The decorated locker took over the school, the drab gray locker no longer cut it. The styles looked different, yet, the idea remained the same: the locker brought a slight bit of personality out and a little humor into the school day. to Student Life A note co a friend it important at timet-Jenny • Oettriech left one for Kritti Kuhn.

A film which scarcely received good reviews from America's critics, but appealed to the kids because of an optic effect called 3-D. Three dimensional filming was a method of screening which when viewed with special glasses, project- ed objects so they seemed to have jumped” out of the screen. The film seemed more realistic instead of the flat-screen look, and movies became more fun. but 3-D soon died out. A new generation arrived, however. and the new movie-goers along with the nostalgic fans decided they wanted 3-D back in the theaters. So, 3-D attempted a comeback. It started all at once with movies returning and new ones forming. Soon. 3-D became a fad for movie goers once again. It was so big that television promoters decided they wanted a part and 3-D soon came to TV. People even enjoyed wearing the cardboard glasses without even-seeing the movie. Whether or not 3-D made it the second time around depended upon the film-buffs of the 80’s. Mudem Life 15 Starving just to Keep it down! The bathroom scale had more effect on people than the atom bomb.” Diet did not work! A simple judgement, really, but one prosed true quite often. It came as a surprise that it had to be repeated so often. But it did. somehow, because millions of teenagers who had a weight problem did not want to believe it. They seriously wanted to believe the opposite; that if they went on a diet, any diet, they became thin and all their problems disappeared into the sunset. They did not have it all wrong. People lost weight if they dieted. But diets were things that people went on, so they were things that people went off. Most diets, whether all protein, liquid protein, high fiber, low calorie, rice and orange juice, they all shared the same flaw. They amounted to a short, artifical, way of dealing with a real and complex problem, one solid reason why so many dieters regained the weight they lost once the diet ended. The key to successful, long range weight loss was not a diet people went on then eventually went off. If they, however, learned how to handle food rather than let food handle them, and in addition, learned to exercise and they also respected their bodies, weight loss became possible. In short, successful weight loss demanded a commitment to change life styles. Along with the change, it seemed important that they developed a new attitude about food and a new eating behavior. First of all; the words guilt,” cheat,” legal foods, illegal foods,” and yes, even diet,” should have been removed from their vocabulary. No food needed to be avoided, and no food eliminated from what they ate. Diets were based on elimination of extra calorics, the number of pounds lost was directly related to the amount of calories lost, and these attitudes were programmed for failure. Think about it, food represents comfort. It seemed difficult to find anything wrong with food. Of course. they can find plenty wrong with eating too much food, with not knowing a sensible sized portion, and when to stop. For example, She had been dieting for a few weeks and had been good. Then one day she ate a brownie. She just had to. And she became consumed with guilt. So she ate another brownie, why not, she blew her diet right? Then, she ate the whole box and the all-or-nothing cycle started off on its destructive path again. Along with a new sense of sensible eating, they needed exercise, not only because it burned up calorics, but also because it helped them develop pride in their new found athletic ability. Athletics also helped them lose real fat, so that what showed on the scale was not just water loss. Yet, when people talked about a diet”, they usually meant a crash program, that assumed they had been eating the wrong food all their life and now they made up for it in a couple of weeks. Nearly one-third of all Americans were overweight. The people who eagerly scanned each newspaper and magazine for the latest diet or trick that may have provided salvation. Unfortunately, the transict nature of new approaches spoke for the fact that no special trick or easy ways available, now or later, rfa 14 Student Yogurt can be purchased in the cafeteria.

From minis to the prairie Fashions of the time Minis, gag me with a spoon!” cried one fashion conscience female, commenting on the latest trend in fashion. Yet, there was no need to fret and. actually, reason to rejoice! Thanks to easygoing, flexible clothing standards, students wore just about anything, ranging from army fatigues to dressy pants, from sweatshirts to handknit wool sweaters. Students took advantage of the liberal dress codes: the key-dressing for comfort, regardless of style. Shorts and t-shirts (OP being very popular) prevailed during the final dog days of summer, as well as the last few weeks of school. Declared one student. I'm going to sweat enough worrying about exams, why wear jeans? The preppy look changed with the autumn leaves; with the sportier New Wave” look collars defied gravity and stayed up while lies hid between the buttons of dress-shirts. The mini skirt, once a typification of the turbulant early 70's, returned, teamed with white bobby socks and pointy tennis shoes to create a peppy cheerleader look. Another flash from the past, ruffles and romantic lace-a throw-back to the turn of the century era-provided a staple in girls' wardrobes. Said senior Mary Edwards. I found tons of clothes in my grandmother's attic and most of them are in style now. Boys found the dress suit-complete with thin lapels, pin-stripes and narrow tics-crcated a Humphrey Bogart look, popular once before in the 1940V 1950’s. For every day. however. most males relied on the timeless jeans and sweatshirt, football jersey, or polo shirt. Fashion took slices of culture, mostly American but some otherwise. from past to present, some Victorian lace and splashes of psychedelic color, mixed and matched to create a unique blend, the balance between style and individuality with freedom and versatility for all. Modem Lite I ’ Double dates and pizza Rocky goes out Dating in today's society could have been, to say the least, difficult, rbings seemed so unplanned and unrehearsed, though some guys felt better if their lines had been planned and rehearsed. These young men walked to the door wringing their hands and repeated the same lines over and over: Hello Mr. and Mrs. Smith-lt’s nice to meet you Unfortunately, when put in this situation, all too often it came out, Hello Mr. and Mrs. Mcct-It’s nice to smith you.” Admitedly, meeting parents was difficult. One never knew exactly what to expect. Some parents insisted upon showing baby pictures of their daughter-thc same person who had been idolized for three years and finally worked the courage up to ask out. Other parents played a game of 20 questions. They wanted to know his grade point average, past achievements. college and career plans, what age he planned on marrying, and how many children he planned on fathering. All this to take their daughter to a Disney movie! If thinking up clever things to say to her parents seemed tough, things got worse when the time came to be alone with her. Some guys immediately turned the car radio up. this prevented unwanted conversation. Girls just loved this; a very effective method if you did not want to take her out again. Some guys spent their dates talking about sports-equally effective. Occasionally they got lucky and found a girl who loved to talk. If they talked to much, however, the radio got turned up. After the date ended, she obviously had to be taken home. Once at home she had to be walked to the door; usually an interesting experience. Should he kiss her goodnight? Before he answered this question it was necessary to ask himself a few others. Did he spill scalding soup all over her white dress? If he did chances were, it was not a good idea to kiss her. Considering all the things that could go wrong during the dating ritual it seemed a wonder people participated in it at all. Double- dating is still a popular way of getting around the lack of contcrsation on a date. Joni Jawoisz. Matt Dietrich. Andy Gray, and Kafhi Murphy share some laughs at Happy Joe’ .

Afier eight hours of travel Kelley Wend-land, Annette Johanson. and Dave Gellcrman had finally reached Ball State University, where they were to spend the next week in an intense course teaching yearbook skills. After searching for a parking space and invading the dorms, the trio went to classes. In the back of their minds they thought of this as a mini-vacation. Little did they know that that evening they would stay up until 3:00 A.M. doing homework-some vacation! Because of the long distance, homesickness set in and they had misgivings about the whole ordeal. However, as the week progressed, their outlook improved. The night before the workshop ended, they went to a punk dance to wipe their minds clear of work for awhile. With thoughts of the people they had met still fresh in their minds, they decided the workshop had been O.K. after all.

Along with the games came the large crowds once associated with the Rock. A lot more people come to the games. The crowds add a lot of momentum to the team and that helps win games, said senior Dan Boeye. The team seems to play better , he added. The cheers by the fans grew stron- ger and louder.

Scurring around the school from class to class, being careful not to be late, they used time wisely to complete assignments and make deadlines. Then chocking their lunch down with a quick chat to friends, they again buried themselves in books. Finally the bell would ring to signal the end of the school day.

Adults of the previous generations feel that teenagers under the age of 18 should have a form or document of parental consent for birth control , stated Adrienne McCann during a Junior Achievement talk show. This was not a traditional, run of the mill, talk show with a professional cast, it consisted of high school students. Not only did they do the speaking but they also handled the cameras, managed the lights, and directed the show. Included in the show were commercial advertising and news spots. Junior Achievement is to help students learn about the marketing and producing business world. In each group the students learn how to operate their own business. These organizations met once a week at the high school and at W’QAD-Channel 8. Students spent much of their spare time preparing for their meetings.

So goes the choosing a college game. Students visited colleges and tried to make the decision that would change their lives. Living at home and to going to an area college: Au-gie, Blackhawk. Marycrcst, Ambrose or AIC might save money-but many felt they would socially regret staying home. Besides, most college-bound students were dying to make the break and get away from home. To make the decision a bit easier, representatives from various schools who visited Rocky tried to sway the students to their school. They talked about financial aid. student life and the academic life of the school and its campus. Once the decision was made, the applications had to be filled out. I am just lazy, said one student, I waited until the last minute to make my decision.” The problem with that, of course, was getting housing. Sometimes, the student was forced to find University approved housing. This housing was not a dorm, but a small room in one of the many homes that lined college town streets. Of course, even though the decision made, it all rested on acceptance. Seeing that envelope sitting on the table is a feeling like no other. I couldn't look at it myself,” said one girl. I had my little brother read it for me.” With the decision made, and the acceptance secured, the students usually went out to stock up on necessities.

These study habits took effect one week earlier, when his teachers began their review for semester exams. Do not attempt to study it all in one evening, the teachers stressed. He. as well as the remainder of the students. carried the books home from classes, and prepared for the semiannual tests. Students were subjected to the final exams twice a year, both times seemed worse than the teacher described. But the worst was not the lack of study, it did not occur until he sat down at the desk, glanced at the pencils, and realized they were not number two. The student suddenly saw a vision of a totally wrong test- the scan tron had no mercy on an unprepared student. Another mistake was readying for an essay test and discovering the one pen he had was out of ink. After the last paper was turned in, however, the relief of knowing the tests were over washed away the worries of wrong pencils and broken pens. He had crammed the review of a semesters material into one week. He had tossed and turned night after night, apprehensive of the fate to come, in the form of exams. But. that fate that came, left almost as painlessly as it arrived. $ Student Lifc Final Examt 31 Print paper, carry water, students become The Unknown Crusaders A lime out was called, and as the players huddled in to hear the plays, in rushed the person with the water and the towels. Who were these helpers who knew the remedy for sweaty palms and dry mouths? Rocky students asked themselves the same question throughout the basketball, football, and baseball seasons. And the answer was- the team manager. The managers became depended upon by both team members and coaches. They were expected to have the Bengay ready for the cramps and the water ready for the time outs, as well as a spotless lockerroom and clean uniforms. The managers, however, were not errand boy, they were pan of the team. Being part of the team did not mean they received the publicity the team stars did. but the students who printed the publicity did not get much credit for their job either. The print shop members worked two periods daily to run the presses and turn the Crimson Crier out twice a month. With the edition of a com- puter used to set the type, the jobs worked more smoothly than when the students hand set the type. Besides the addition of the computer. the print shoppers also added a darkroom to develop their own pictures. The entire paper is done in the print shop, with modern techniques and with the work of the students. Both sports managers and prim shoppers held the knowledge of being a needed part of Rocky. © SPORTS MANAGERS Mark l uin. Boys' Basketball; Shari Fkstrom. Head Mgr. Girls' Basketball; Kesin Hird.

J6 SurveyvStudcnt Life ? survey To find out a little more about Rocky students’ lifestyle, the Watchtower staff designed a survey that was given to students in their English classes. The first question did not help anyone trying to get money from their parents. The majority of students in nincth, eleventh, and twelfth grades reported receiving no allowance at all. However, the majority of tenth graders said their allowances ranged between ten and fifteen dollars. Of all students, only the majority of seniors hold jobs. The remaining classes reported over one-third having jobs. Getting to school traditionally involved walking or taking a bus. At Rocky, only the majority of sophomores took the bus. Both freshmen and juniors managed to hitch a ride with someone most of the time. The seniors held the idea that it was best to drive to school in their own or family car. The video craze apparently affected students. In all four classes. just slightly less than half reported owning home video games. College plans rated between fifty and sixty percent in all grades. Apparently students believed that going to college was important. On the other hand, students were split on involvement in school-sponsored extra-curricular activities. Sophomores participated in activities most frequently, with participation dropping rapidly for juniors and freshmen. Seniors came in last by about two percentage points. When it came to eating, students overwhelmingly chose McDonald’s as their favorite fast food restaurant. Godfather’s Pizza made the best pizza according to the survey. To quench their thirst, sixty percent of Rocky students felt Pepsi tasted best. To anyone watching feet pass in the hallways, the most popular tennis shoe covered the miles. Nike earned about fifty percentage points in a field of seven. In addition to providing the sur- vey results, the staff of the Watch-tower collected maxims from Miss Johnson's English classes. These ’’rules of Rocky fit into the description of the life-styles of students. tb 1. Those who daydream in class may have a nightmare on test day. (Michael Stern) 2. When the lunch lines arc empty, you know the worth of the food. (Julie Moore) 5. To do half your homework is to double your trouble. (Julie Moore) 4. To walk in the halls without a pass is to risk the vcngcnancc from a walkie-talkie woman with a flower in her hair. (Douglas Ward) 5. To drive a car to school is to have confidence in your insurance agent. (David Gellerman) SuotYvSimicni Life � ? Cheering proves PRIDE No gum chewed while in uniform no hair combed in public, and not a single absence from a home game, these rules made up the life of a cheerleader. School practices to rehersals, the Rock Island High School Cheerleaders began fulfilling their goal. They practiced shouting in harmony, and perfected mounts. They let cheering express their thoughts about themselves. Letting cheering aid a part in their lives, they learned the proper way to nudge themselves into the spirit of a cheer. The girls were taught how to utilize their spirit to the team's benefit. In doing this, the cheerleaders successfully fulfilled their goal, when they performed for school assemblies, pep rallies, and team games. Pat Hallberg. Chris Gunsollcy, and Susan Krictcr, the chccrlcading coaches, taught their squads the basic properties required to polish off a cheer. Time was spent on learning words and motions to a cheer, as well as performing it together with group effort. With the help of the coaches, the girls learned to recognize what was required of them to perfect their moves. Cheerleaders had more responsibilities than the naked eye observed; the frivolous restrictions, however, became frivolous when their school spirit helped to accomplish a victory. $ (■citing ihc football tenon fired-up Nancy LcWarnc, Laura Poffcnbarger.

Fans crowded in by the hundreds to watch The Rocks” pour on another victory, and advance to Chicago’s second round. Football is only one of the extra curricular sports presented at Rocky. Students that participated in athletics spent a lot of time and effort outside of school itself. It took much mental conditioning along with physical to become a successful athlete. Driving hard by setting individual goals sparked each event into a promising team. Sports were important not only to the athletes and school, but to the community as well. Most athletes developed pride in themselves. pride in the school, and the desire to win. Sports gave the chance to show the quality and pride of Rock Island High School to everyone in. and around the community. Athletes were true competitors who combined hard practice, knowledge, and good sportsmanship to reach their own important goals. Always they strived for the best and to respectfully represent the school in general. Athletes accomplishments and achievements gave them a giant step forward into the future. Good coaching, hard work, team spirit, experience, knowledge, individual and team goals all worked together and got Rocky sports on the right track.

Rocky had just won a hard fought playoff battle against Aurora East. The team deserved this win. They had worked hard since before (he season began. During the Summer the coaches knew the players had the talent for a successful team, but did they possess enough character and the right attitude. The players did possess these other essentials, along with a strong desire to win. This desire stayed strong even though the Rocks dropped 2 of the first 3 games. After that they ran wild, rolling up six straight regular season wins. All of these games were important in the quest for the Big 6 crown. Including the Quincy game, where running back Thomas Adams won Prep of the Week honors, and the Moline game as Rocky revenged an earlier loss with the fine performance of quarterback Dion Brooks. The best played game came at East Moline. With the help of Russell Baker’s 251 yards rushing, the Rocks won. jumping into the conference lead. For his work Baker received many Quad City awards. Making it to the quarterfinals took more than a great running game. The kicking game was very steady. Place kicker Mark Burrill and Punter Tim Daxon contributed enormously. The big play defense put the finishing touches to the Rocks complete team. A team that acted as one. Coach DcSuttcr remarked. We pushed these kids harder than any before.

Fall came, and i( brought with it the coming of football for the new- freshmen players. A combination of two previous squads from the junior highs came together and blended with one another. The outlook seemed promising and the energy abundant during pre-season practices. Before the realization was felt, the games had become victories, defeats, and memories. Eventually, the first opponent came around which was John Deere. The Rocks proved dominent. scoring in every quarter, and only allowing the Spartans one trip into the endzone. After a victory the following Thursday against Coolidgc. they ventured into a match with Alle-man. The Pioneers fought hard all the way, but eventually bowed over to the Rocks. The proceeding two games brought the players back down to earth, losing to East Moline and Galesburg, respectively. Staying neutral in any way. defensively or offensively, they simply tied Wilson at their next match. Finally back on the winning streak, which started at the second game against East Moline, they calmly sneaked by the Panthers, achieving hearty vengence. This game proved to be the highlight of the season for the players . Coach Minch later stated. The last game of the season, revenge made a visit once again to the freshman team, this time giving the benefit to Allcman. whom the Rocks had beaten once before earlier in the year. It was a disappointing season , stated Coach Minch, but they’re a talented group of kids, and with effort and determination, they'll better themselves next season. They can produce team effort.” A very enjoyable year, with a number of obstacles to overcome”, stated Coach Each reflecting back upon the sophomore football squad. We had a small team to begin with, and a great amount of injuries also, which didn’t help cither.” The season's schedule started at home against the Davenport West Falcons, who unfortunately spoiled the opening game for the Pebbles. They also lost the next week while away at Marshalltown. Finally, a choice time to uncover a win. Homecoming rolled around, and the Rocks went into the game optimistically. With a little more than two minutes left the Pebbles were ahead, but Moline scored and won the game. Realizing that losing did not get them anywhere, they bussed over to Browning field and handed Allcman a quick and simple loss. But their bubble soon broke as they fell to the junior Blue Devils of Quincy the following Friday night. The Sophomores next matched up to Moline again. At halftime. the score showed Moline over Rock Island, 20-0. But the Pebbles saw it differently and fought back to a victory over the Maroons. A week later, they arrived at the Soul Bowl to take on the East Moline Panthers. With their conference lead at stake, they went into the game with a tremendous amount of injuries. After four quarters, the score stood still at a tic. By the time three overtimes were completed, the Pebbles were defeated. The last game finally came around and Galesburg was due in town. The junior Rocks still wanted to prove that they were better than it seemed. It was a close game overall, but the Pebbles came back to beat Galesburg in the last eight seconds.

VanDeWalle to State Harriers improve As the long school day drew to a close, the Rocky harriers still had a long way to go. Mile after mile, their stride lengthened, as they pushed to fulfill their goal. Their hearts continued to pump at an even pace in time with each step. Many people felt these athletes were a little crazy. Most of them agreed. However the cross country team members derived satisfaction in their lonely run. Tony VanDeWalle highlighted the boy's season. Starting by placing first in all regular season meets. Tony also set course records eight times. He went on to place second in sectionals, and fourteenth in state. Although Tony was the stand out. coach Coolidge also had high praise for Kevin Socken and Brad Howard. The varsity team ended up second in the Big Six. and tied for second at district. In a major meet involving twenty-four teams, they finished fifth. Finally, at the twenty team Dixon Invitational, the harriers brought home the first place trophy. Hampered by the small number of participants, the girls cross country team still improved their record. The young team spirted one senior-Marian McCart. Other stand outs included Dawn Bosworth, Joel Axup, and Kelly Yeocum.

Each one dragged themselves out of bed and stumbled in the darkness for their clothes. They slipped on whatever they could find and trudged to school by 6:00. They put on swimsuits and wondered if they would make it through the vigorous workout. Forcingly, the managed to hurl themselves into the icy green chlorinated water, which quickly woke them up. The morning practice ended, as the members of the swim team got ready for school in a locker room, where electricity and hot water came in short supply. Both the girls' and boys' teams survived early workouts and vigorous schedules, which swimming called for, including after school and summer practices. Consisting of 13 underclassmen out of 13 members, the girls' team finished with a record of 6-5. By competing mostly at the Fresh Soph level, the boys' team gave top opponents like Davenport West and Peoria High problems, despite their 1-10 record. Swimming may have provided a hobby for team members, but other members took it seriously. The swimmers dragged themselves out of the now warm water, tired and sore. They quickly dressed, rushed to class in time for first period and fought off sleep for the rest of the day. The swimmers knew the next day, the routing would begin over again.

Atunncl of red and gold echoes of We arc Rocky , a sea of swirled pom-poms covered the fieldhouse and the Rocks assembled on the court, prepared to take on the number-one ranked Quincy Blue Devils. The Rocks, however, did not only take on the Blue Devils, but they conquered them by nineteen points. The Rocks knew victory, as they looked it straight in the eyes since the start of the season. The annual Turkey Tournament, hosted by the Rocks, began the season and sparked them to a five game win streak. Then, along with Quincy at 1-0 in the conference, the Rocks visited the Devils homccourt and were stopped short by six points. Quincy held onto their number-one ranking. The following evening. Rocky fans saw their team fall to a Davenport West come-back that tied and won a game Coach Reid became involved in a confrontation with an official, he was then asked to leave the fieldhouse. Assistant coaching took over and the Rocks still played with their full speed and intensity, but ended up losing by only four points. With five losses against ten wins, the re-match with number-one Quincy arrived. It was to be the biggest game that the Rock Island Fieldhouse had seen in a long time. Before the game, Quincy had won 25 straight conference games and had 12 straight wins against Rock Island. They had developed an aura of invincibility, but the high spirits of the chanting fans and the playing of the Rocks gave them a nineteen point victory over the Blue Devils. As the floor became smothered w ith fans, senior forward Tony Johnson proclaimed, This is what I've wanted for a lifetime-to beat Quincy before I left Rock Island. The following night, as fans still discussed the win, the Rocks lost a big lead to lose to Proviso West, on the road. In an eight game win-streak to come, the Rocks avenged losses to Davenport West and Galesburg. Galesburg was currently ranked second, and in the last 5:50 of the game, the Rocks outscored Galesburg 24-9 to steal the victory. Finally, in the last conference game. Rocky outscored the Maroons to beat them, while Galesburg beat Quincy to put the Rocks in a three-way tic for Western Big Six Champs along with Galesburg and Quincy. Along with the games and victories, highlights and happenings occured during the season. Harllee Miller was awarded Prep of the Week in the Quad-City Times during January. And when the fans wanted Shellhousc, he sat with them and they got him, and added a lighter side to the history of the 82-83 Rocks.

The basis of Rock Island basketball began at the freshmen level with the Red and Gold teams. The Gold team, coached by Norm Albrighton. finished the year with a tournament hosted by both freshmen teams. The Golds came out with a fourth place in the tourney, to end their season with a 6-13 season record. This team showed a lot of promise and should help create a strong sophomore team. stated Coach Albrighton. The opposing Red team, coached by Mike Brown, concluded their season with a first place in their tourney. The team finished the season with a 19-1 record, losing their one game by a mere three points. Coach Brown shared the same promising speculations of a strong sophomore team in the following year. While the freshmen battled it out in the year-end tourney, the sophomores fought to instill the ability of Coach Larry Schulte and his first year as head sophomore coach. The sophomores captured the first place title at the East Moline tourney over the holiday vacation; the team gave up just three losses throughout their season. Standout sophs Dave Carr.

Let’s McWin!” Freshmen create new team Lee’s McWin was the varsity winning slogan before each basketball game. The language was acquired by traveling to McDonald's on most road trips that the team took. The first freshmen girls basketball team at Rocky took to the court. Gary Anderson, who had been coaching at Edison Junior High School, was hired as the coach for the team. This team is as well balanced as any other team I have ever been around, through these kids I see a bright future for the Rocky girls' basketball program, Coach Anderson pointed out. The team was approved by the school board on the recommendation of Jack Whan and varsity Coach Ed Swag-gard. Jill Sawin, teacher at Francis Willard, was also hired, by the school board to coach the girls sophomore team. I think the team is highly skilled with a lot of potential. Coach Swaggard assured, we have many goals we still have to conquer.” he continued. The team conquered the regional , of last year's season, but lost in the fnal round of the sectionals. The returning players bounced back from the loss and inspired a winning record. Vicki Walker vquccre through U.T. defence to get position, with teammate Bca Flore .

I think that our team is going to do well and go far. commented senior Joni Jawoisz on the upcoming season. The boys' baseball team brought home the Western Big Six Conference Titlc-the first team to be conference champions since 1977.

I would like to give the team credit for tieing for first place in the Western Big Six Conference, with Quincy and UTHS.” The team's major loss of personcl was not due to injuries but because of outside circumstances. Two wrestlers were lost because of administrative discipline, and others because of jobs that were needed. Minor injuries caused other wrestlers to sit out for a week or two. Fortunately Rocky wrestlers escaped major injuries. Coach Gerber expressed appreciation to his captain and co-captain. I felt it was an honor to work with, captain Tim Wright and co-captain Vance Smith. They are both great guys and wrestlers. I am really sorry to sec them go.” Rocky sent three wrestlers to state.

The freshmen began the season November 1st and produced four top wrestlers; Carl McDowell took the top spot. Brian O'Melia. Maurice Lomas and Elex Roberts who followed in the 4th place. Though the team was an underclass squad, several Freshmen wrestled in the Junior Varsity and Varsity levels also. Their seasonal record was 4-4 an additional Wood Jr. High tournement and a Sterling High School tournement placing 2nd. Up-downs and pinning drills from 3:00 to 3:00 p.m. did not help the Freshmen squad defeat an East Moline team. Coach Dave Smith stated The East Moline match was one of their toughest bouts the past year.” Yet the Sophomore wrestlers, grappled a 3-6 season and had no meet that gave them an exceptional amount of trouble. Jeff Murphy and Tom Wilson headed a squad where one third ot the Sophomores wrestled at the Junior Varsity or Varsity levels, as was the case for the Freshmen. Freshmen grapplers took their place leaving not much of a team.” stated Coach Ed Lillis, but if the Freshmen and Sophomore wrestlers took the example of a fellow upper-class grappler. Tim Wright, many of them would excel to number one. Coach Lillis concluded. With that statement in mind Tom Wilson and his teamates commented. We are all looking forward to next year and will never foreget this one which brought us together as a team and drew the best of us all out into the open.

We also won six matches as opposed to three last year.” Both coaches expected 85 season teams to improve. Coach Anderson said, I expect to do much better.

And one by one, the track meets became history. The hurdlers, weightmen. and runners fought off the cold and snow in early season practice to prepare for the indoor meets of early March. While the guys took to the practices on the all-weather track, the girls tracksters did not just stand on the sidlelines cheering 'hem on. they were out there running along side their male counterparts. They worked just as hard, striving for the edge that eventually took them to a distric championship. On the feet of hurdler Angie Lewis, the endurance of Dawn Bosworth. the speed of Michelle Braud and Rita Jett as well as the support of Coach Ransome. the girls one by one tore down the Big 6 teams.

When joined with Letiermen s Club the result was worthwile involvement in activities such as dances. Casino Night and ushering basketball games. One of the first activities sponsored by Lettermcn's Club was Homecoming Dance. They were in charge of finding and setting up decorations, and providing refreshments. They also had the job of publicity, tickets, and securing the band Ear Force. The kids worked hard on the dance. They deserve credit for their accomplishment. said Mr. Miers, sponsor. A chance to gamble without losing money. Casino Night was also sponsored by Lettermen. In exchange for the ticket, the bearer received $2,000 in Jock Money”. Students as well as faculty participated in poker, craps, bingo, and roulette. At the conclusion of the evening, prizes, donated by local businesses, were auctioned off. They included a stuffed bear wearing a Rocky” sweater, an alarm clock- All About Rock Island games, a watch, certificates for dinners and gasoline, and movie passes. It was a successful night. Everyone seemed to enjoy himself,” stated Mr. Simmon, another Club sponsor. During home basketball games, Lettermen posed as ushers and tended to Hospitality Room. Hospitality Room, operated in the living center, gave Lettermen and their guests a place to relax at halftime. In the plans for the future was a Spring Dance.

American Field Service (AFS) took the fear from foreign exchange students for the past 28 years. Phillip Dennis and his 38 members welcomed two senior foreign students. Britta Johann-sen (Sweden) and Sundar Sub-baroyan (Bom Bay, India). Rocky had sent no one over seas for the last two years, but AFS membership rose to an all time high. An AFS float. Christmas cards and a spring social were fund raisers they sponsored. The Rotary Club and the Sweden American Society made arrangements for these exchange students temporary homes and families. The Black Student Union (BSU) enhanced Negro students knowledge of great black minds and inventions. One illis-tration was Charles Drew who invented blood plasma. The BSU geared toward informing students of various black historians; their invention and brilliant minds. To commemorate Black History Week a bulletin board of famous Negroes was created each day on the regular morning announcements. Bake sales concession stand work and their biggest project, a fashion show helped raise funds for the annual Scholarship for an outstanding Negro student . A raffle which offered an AM-FM Cassette Player made a considerable amount of money for an end of the year celebration to Great America, which was open to all Rocky students. BSU and AFS brought students a piece of history and a way of life from foreign countries that would not otherwise have been known. l)muuin|{ foreign lands. Jane ( oogan. Margie Romeo.

Science Club and Council packed with people, knowledge, and fun Standing room only described the popularity of this event. Every month seventy to ninety students packed in. The early ones grabbed seats, and the others sat on the aisles or leaned against the walls. These students were members of Science Club, a club especially popular. The participation reflected by the attendance at each meeting has been phenomenal , remarked science teacher Charles Armstrong. The club definitely fulfilled its goal of promoting interest in science. The speakers at each meeting provided the means for that interest in science. At the first meeting, faculty member Richard McNamara presented You Arc What You Fat , which included a lecture on health foods and diet and the opportunity for members to try some foods that taste good and arc good for you. Another meeting included Visitors From Outer Space. Harry Nelson from Au-gustana brought samples of meteorites and discussed this topic. Janette Moline lectured about the eagles in our area at another meeting. Dr. Dahl, a dentist who uses hypnosis, talked about hypnosis and actions of the brain at one of the monthly meetings. As a demonstration. Dr. Dahl used her twenty steps, self-hypnosis method on the crowd. Students who chose to participate visualized walking down the twenty steps, following the instructions of Dr. Dahl. The doctor described each step, one at a time, and each description was more deeply relaxing. Finally at the last step, those participating were in a totally relaxed, deep sleep, but still coherent. In addition to the meetings. Science Club members went on a field trip to the Palmer School of Chiropractice. Science Council combined Science Club. Camera Club, and High School Bowl into one service and social organization. An example of their service was working concession stands at sport events. Social activities included the Christmas fondue-party, the Spring steak fry, and the Spring field trip. The entire-science faculty and the Science Club officers; President Rich Winner, Vice-president Paul Klatt, Secretary Kristi Kuhn, and Treasurer Brad Dawson united their efforts to make the Science Club and Science Council activities educational, interesting, and most importantly, fun.

Being a member of Camera Club gave its members access to the darkroom facilities during the school day. The camera club learned to meet challenges such as learning to dcvclopc film like professionals. Meeting challenges was not only hrought on by the camera club, the High School Bowl team also had challenges (hat had to be met. One of the factors for high school bowl was the mental ability of quick recall. The team consisted of eight members. They met Tuesdays after school and brought challenges that prepared themselves for feature catches. Three of the members returned to the team for another crack at winning: Eric Detwciler.

Armed with this equipment the staff went about the seemingly impossible mission of capturing Rocky’s spirit and vitality. Due to the advisor's illness, the staff met the first deadline alone. Although I didn’t necessarily agree with all of the decisions the staff made. I think they did a great job on their own. They really proved that they could work together”, stated Ms. Simanek. Each member of the staff was responsible for certain pages. They each decided what pictures were taken, how the copy read, and how the page finally looked. Pictures had to be taken, film developed, pictures printed, cropped, and stamped. The photographers spent long hours taking and developing pictures. Finally after all was done, it went to the editors and advisor for approval. Kelley MTcndland edited copy and returned it to terribly frustrated staff members to be rewritten again, and again. Annette Johanson returned layout designs with red marks scribbled on them indicating they had to be redrawn. Mary Edwards had the final say overall before it went to the advisor. After all had been approved it was sent to the publishing company for printing. The final result was The Vfatchtower . Photographer spend muth time in the dark. Vatchtower photographer Jeff Bowden.

It seemed like only yesterday that Mr. Pcschang had persisted in trying to teach the basics of journalism to the Crimson Crier staff. They began with the first phase of a two phase course. In Journalism I. the staff learned about the history of journalism. They read the writing of past writers and present day journalists too. Mr. Pcschang guided them through the styles of columnists Mike Koyko and Art Ruchwald; as well as a host of other journalists from local papers. The staff was taught how to conduct and interview, stretch a story, and how to re- search an article. The course ended with a dry run , as the class put together a paper, doing everything except printing. The second phase was Journalism II. Editors Karen Vfcin-stien and Julie Shadlc decided what needed to be covered, made story assignments, and fielded the wrath of advisor Mr. Peschang if it was done incorrectly.

Mr. Stroit directed the team through, a well accomplished speech year. Having a small team could not stop the individual competition, said Mr. Stoit. Speech, when going to a tournament, consisted of original comedy, declaration, dramatization, pro’s and con’s, duet comedy, and verse. Any form of speech performed must have been memorized. As far as memorization went, the members of the chess team had to recall some fancy pawn moves. These moves proved to work, because the pawners had a great year. The chess team also returned to Rocky, but as an old veteran. There were ten members who came back as lettermen. The team members practiced and participated in tournaments from the beginning of October to the end of April. One of strongest teams, not by number but in depth , was the simple reply that Mr. Milton gave when asked what’s the quality of the team?’’ Mr. Milton and Mr. Strupp were coaches of this united team. Mr. Strupp did not have a lot to say, but what he did say was a mouth full.

These students attended the Vocational Improvement Program (VIP). A facet of the school system that provided for a larger students success rate. The VIP program's pur- pose was to take a student who could no longer handle school; this included students with disiplinary problems and those who simply were on the verge of dropping out. Within the VIP program they were given the opportunity to earn the high school diploma equivalent. They worked in basic fields of interest including ceramics, photography, and journalism. The students had a kiln, a new dark room, and their own newspaper. The VIP proved to be beneficial. the students learned the true meaning of getting an education.

Students were expected to work in the VIP store. Odd jobs were awarded to the lowest bidder. If one student offered to wash the windows for five dollars and another offered for three, the lower bidder got the job. In this way students learned the value of money. VIP served its purpose to the high school; they demonstrated that learning did not have to be painful and there was always hope. Ql The VIP morning class includes: FRONT ROW Perill Patton.

This sort of conversation would not be expected from high school students, but this one was attributed to two organizations. HO and DECA. Distributive Education (DECA) helped students learn more about retailed marketing in fields from clothing to frozen foods. Students who were apart of DECA attended school for three or four class periods and then, on to their job the rest of the day. This program was a continued two year course for juniors and seniors. Health Occupations (HO) was geared toward the students interested in health care in all fields. Students entered the class their junior year and received the basic skills and information from their advisor Mrs. McLaughlin, a registered nurse. After they completed the course in full, they became certified nursing assistants through the junior Basic Nursing Assistants (BNA) Program and worked with certified nursing teams. Like DECA these students attended school half the day and worked the other which they received wages over minimum wage. Both DECA and HO handed experiences to the students, as well as the idea of on the job training. Using the respatoryr chan Lori Kinkaid i better able to understand her patient condition.

DECA 10) C.W.T.-Vocational Building do doubletime Working the graveyard shift The majority ruled in favor, .saying a divided day helped eliminate the School Day Blues”; C.W.T. (Cooperative Work Training) and Vocational Building students agreed. Before the sun awakened, nine carpenter-heads were on their way to class. Unlike the normal school boys , who went to school at 8:00, they battled the 7:00 traffic on their way to Chippian-nock Cemetery. They started the year off by digging the trenches. They used the same backhoc which the cemetery used to dig graves. Besides stirring up a few goulish thoughts, they conjured up questions like, How did they dig graves in the winter?” The students became aquainted with the job and hard work began. The completion of a green house and storage house slid under their belts at the cemetery. A change of pace set into the minds of the C.W.T. workers as they planned fund raisers. As in the past, the year included a class trip to one of theQ.C. plants such as John Deere or International Harvester. The idea did not excite them since they had visited them years before. So. the money hungry class began working double-time. They raised a buck or two with the usual bake sale and candy sales. As the year progressed the hard work paid off. They vacationed off to the capital of the Big Mac - the McDonald Corporate in Schauberg. Illinois. Both Cooperative Work Training and Vocational Building combined academic skills and labor skills and produced another aspect of learning. COOPERATIVE WORK TRAINING-FRONT ROW; Jennifer Ap pelquisl.

After their classes students went directly to work, depending on their students goals schedule. Each person put forth their dedication and in return received the experience, skill, and challenge of a job. The development of the HERO program has been essential to the students future.

School practices to rehearsals, the glee club began fulfilling their goal. From harmonizing a tunc, to perfecting a perfect pitch on a note. They let singing express their thoughts about themselves and others. Letting music aid a part in their lives, they also learned the proper way to nudge themselves into the mood of a song. How to give and receive constructive criticism, and how to utilize their voices to their benefit. In doing all this, the glee club successfully fulfilled their goal, when they performed for many school programs, assemblies and civic or- Showing how 10 perfect a pitch.

Time was spent on learning self-discipline and group effort, as well as appreciating and performing the art. With his criticism, he forced the Glee Club to recognize the more effective properties of a singer. Students interested in singing in harmony had the opportunity to enroll in the Mixed glee club. This course involved learning different songs and performing for school programs. This organization was the feeder group for the other performing groups. If the students enjoyed the course, and were fairly good singers, they later advanced to Concert and chamber glee club. jJj Practicing hii olo for the Christmas program.

For the upcoming year, those students who enjoy computers will be able to enjoy a course called Computer Science, under one condition. they had already achieved a passing grade in Algebra and Geometry.

Typing, a life skill, presented students with the opportunity to practice self-discipline while mastering the keyboard. On days before vacation, students were given a choice of typing mysteries”. If the directions were followed correctly, the result was pictures that they could hang on a wall. Some of the mysteries included a portrait of John F.

Three tests that students must have passed in order to achieve a passing grade in the course, were The Illinois and United States Constitution (voting system and elections). The Declaration of Independence, and the flag code (proper displays). Daily events that were done in class, included students clipping weekly articles, doing book and board assignments, and students were given the chance to vote in the Illinois elections in class.

Over half the students went to classes prepared for dead lectures, but instead they received the opposite. Teachers taught classes with filmstripcs, pamphlets, and a number of guest speakers. Health lasted one semester, but during that time students learned about safety and emergency care which helped them to continue on in Driver’s Education, taught in the last 18 weeks.

As the command came six boys dove into the water simultaneously. Eceiii! The water is freezing on Monday mornings. This illustrates a typical swimming class. For four weeks, students were required to take an elementary swimming course. Those that could swim, swam. Lap after lap until, if nothing else, they were in better shape than when the class started. Those that could not swim were required to take a class in beginning swimming. This entailed having the student lifeguards teach. In most cases it proved effective as students learned to swim. Swimming, however, was just one facet of the P.E. curriculum. Students were also given the opportunity to participate in basketball, football, soft-ball, picklcball, track and field, gymnastics, aerobics, tennis, bowling, and golf. The purpose of physical education was to develop strong minds as well as strong bodies. Disipline was emphasized, students had to dress everyday. If they did not dress three times they failed the class. Although this seemed strict, the students adjusted without too much trouble. Sports were taught but, not stressed as much as sportsmanship. It seemed to be working, as the students were on the right track in P.E.

Benches, cedar chests, stereo holders and many more creative and outrageous projects came out of the piles of wood. Vocational Arts was the most sought out elective for not only young men hut girls as well. As was the case in one of the Vo-Tech classes, carpentry, taught by Mr. Sellers who had supervised a girl in the junior class. Vocational also consisted of building trades, machine shop, auto mechanics, auto body, welding and electronics-all for two class periods. but were only for juniors and seniors. For those interested in the general courses such as machine shop, electronics and welding, but did not have the pleasure of being an upperclassmen. Industrial Arts was open to all classes. Mr. Marlin who taught Woods I and II enjoyed helping students learn the operation of varied machines and the basics of working with wood. The students first project was chosen in accordance to what they would most enjoy doing and learning from. The lamp has been first choice for over a period of three years and had not always turned out the same as other peer's. Mr. Marlin had two girls instead of one in both his fourth and second periods. To give the students more confidence and assurance in themselves all sophomores and above had to submit one of their best projects in an Industrial Arts Show which was held at Western Illinois University.

The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) gave them a sense of fear and disposition. While some labeled the cafeteria a fretful morgue others skimmed through the sample booklet. This ritual was repeated again for juniors and once for Seniors. This had been one time the student body as a whole felt the same fear and admiration. Despite the addition of the Freshman class students became closer to one another. Organizations brought the spirit and Rocky pride to a much broader perspective. The 82-83 school year filled memberships of varied clubs to a higher number than ever before. Students took interest in other school oriented activities other than reading, writing and arithmetic, yet gained new friends and experiences. Sports gave a whole new light to the word victory. Benches shook with enthusiasm. Echoes of laughter and cheer rang throughout the field house and stadium. Juniors and seniors not only participated in the crowded stands but sophomores and freshmen as well. Sports gave Rocky students a reason to assemble and cheer together. Despite the ups and downs of academic studies, students worked hard and fierce to achieve their academic goal. Student helping student no matter what year they were. One step in front of the other was the cliche students used and if they failed in themselves or others that was all the more to take two more steps. Students stated togetherness and fulfillment of Rocky Pride was academics, sports and organizations. These three titles of joy and doomless spirit put Rocky on the right track.

He was however, involved in much earlier childhood education. For the past 7 years, he and his wife have owned Kiddie Kampus Day Care Center in Moline. Even though his wife directed the center, Mr. Neuerburg also monitered the staff of nine who assisted in the care of the 50 children enrolled. Mr. Neuerburg explained that all employees were licensed through Children and Family Services and were required to have a background in Early Childhood Education. The center, which carried a license to care for children ages 2-8, maintained a ratio of 1 adult per 7 children. Children under two require more care and that age would require a ratio of 1 adult per 2-3 children. , Mr. Neuerburg commented. The programs taught included simple lessons in art, music, math, and reading. Just as in big school swings, slides, and merry-go-rounds held the children's interest too.

Mr. Wahe matched up against Mr. Smith, Mr. Hallbcrg, his wife Shelia and daughter Stacy. In one game between Mr. Wahe and Stacy, it was each his own as the ball whizzed by, barely missing one or the other. Even though Stacy was not as quick as Mr. Wahe, she held her own winning 21-20. Mr. Wahe said, I was taking it easy on her. She’s just a kid.” This fast-moving game, seemingly safe at first, was actually quite harmful. For example, That little rubber ball, when hit hard enough, could leave red marks. The walls were enough to jar the body into a state of soreness while the racquet left bruises that lasted for about a week. This game was made for those who liked fast action, and Mr. Wahe was one of them. Faculty 1SI Custodians are: FROST ROW' Corky McCombs (Head Custodian), Sterns Crapnell. Phil Caudill. Stese Lane.

The term X weighted officially defines a class where academic skill and incentive are a necessity. In a X-wcightcd course a grade of A equals 5 points instead of the usual point A . A grade of B would then equal 4 points and so on. A majority of students never enrolled in a X-weighted” course. Many students took X-wcightcd classes in the areas of study they excelled in. And then there were those students, the kind that did extra credit work even when they already were receiving an A”, the kind of students who don't stop at being just good enough, and these were the kind of students who took all X-weighted” classes. That’s right Sarah Sohl. Mike Spector. and Gunnar Sjursen have packed their academic schedules with all X-weighted classes. Their school days struggled by as follows: Advanced physics, calculus. Biology II (Mike and Sarah) and German IV (Gunner), college English. European history, and gym. Academic achievements were great for Sarah, Mike, and Gunnar. Both Sarah and Mike were ranked in the top five of their class. Gunnar's score of 32 on the ACT exam was the best of the bunch. Mike, in the first semester, achieved the sole honor of a 3.0 grade point average. Surprisingly, school work played only a part of their lives. Gunnar was a member of Science Club and High School Bowl and treasurer of German Club. He also enjoyed listening to all forms of music, from punk to classical. Mike's interests were similiar. He was a Science and German Club member and played drums in a rock band. Sarah was especially involved in extra-curricular activities. She served as vice-president of Lettermen’s Club and captain of girls' varsity tennis. Sarah Sohl, Mike Spec-tor, and Gunnar Sjursen definitely lead X-weighted lives. Sarah Sohl.

Normally, it isn't too surprising to see a few individuals stand out in their class. Some students are content with studying during all their free time. They create their own image of a person with good studying habits that produce good grades. Other students are strictly dedicated to the athletic area. This odd combination has formed the myth that a scholastic individual can not throw a ball and an athlete can’t even write a coherent sentence. Rich Winner is the kind of guy who shatters this myth. Although there are others who also portray the same role, Rich is just as unique in his ways as anyone else is in theirs. In Rich's school life, he does not sit around and wait for the last summer vacation to come around. Rich realized this is the only high school life he would ever have, so he got into the scene. This past year, he played for the High School Bowl, was a member of Ski Club. Science Council, and he was the active president of the Science Club. He also applied at both Washington University of St. Louis and Illinois. Both colleges accepted him. with Washington offering him a scholarship. Rich was born in Rock Island and has lived here since then. His father, Lt. William Witmer, of the Rock Island Police Department has influenced Rich into seeking a profession as a doctor of surgery. Rich hoped move back home to the Quad-Cities and make a new home. When asked what the highlight of his life had been so far, he replied his senior year at Rocky. “What made my senior year so great was that I really made a lot of new friends that I'll remember the rest of my life.

Sundar Subboryan came here to the U.S. August 19. 1982 by the RYE Program, Rotary Youth Exchange, not knowing at first where he was going to be sent to. He did admit he missed playing cricket, which is similar to baseball. To keep a busy schedule he has been active in AFS, Science Club, Speech Team and the Crimson Crier. All that very rarely gives him anytime to be homesick. Unlike here. Sundar said people in India have more traditional values. The people there also know how to speak several languages. Sundar is educated to speak English, French, Tamil and Hindi. Rocky, in Sundar's comparison to back home, is very undisciplined and more free going. In India, Sundar was to wear black shoes and white uniform or white and gray stripes. The foods were weaker, he commented. In India spices were a main part of the meal, just as was rice. But the future was another big experience for Sundar. He was going into biology, and genetics. Traveling to California and Europe are also on his agenda.

Let us walk Ii was not an unusual sight in Sweden if a person saw several students walking to their destiny, Britta Johanson replied. Since students could not receive a license to drive until they were 19 years old. Britta Johanson arrived here in the U.S. for the first time August 11 by the American Scandinavian Student Exchange. She was fortunate enough to be chosen by teachers preference, grades and an essay on Life and Family. Although she kept in touch with her friends and family, it was almost a full time job to be an American student. Once a week she wrote to 50 people, called home and also taped her voice and sent it back to her parents. Britta said the school system was the hardest thing to adjust to. She agreed styles and people arc more or less the same. In Sweden, schools differed from those here. There they have 40 minute classes, different classes daily and wider variety of languages could be taken by students. Britta has learned Swedish, German, French and English. She did not get home sick, but she did miss playing her favorite sport, Oricntcr-ing, which the U.S. doesn't offer. A Swedish sport, which involved receiving a map. she tried to follow it by running crosscountry through the forest to the given post. The one with the best time won. Britta was often asked, What is the food like in Sweden? Britta said that there were McDonalds and other fast food restaurants in Sweden, but only in the bigger cities. Boiled fish was one thing she did not eat as much of since she left home. Undecided on what her future would bring, she planned to concentrate on business and languages. Before her return back to Sweden, she went to vacation to the western part of the U.S.. She had already-traveled to Chicago, Detroit, Canada, Iowa and Wisconsin. Britta said she would miss her family here and the friends she had made. © Keeping in touch with friend and family it all good. Sometime it can become a full time job when you write to SO people.

Across the river, he followed the road lighted by glowing poles. With his foot on the pedal and his hand on the steering mechanism he thrusted towards his destination. In the dis tance, two shining lights grew closer, larger, and brighter. Then with a blink of an eye, they were gone. A glance in the rear view mirror revealed two diminishing red lights. This passer-by had gone, and again the path became lifeless. A few minutes later, the crusader reached his destination; the time was 4:57 A.M. Tranquiled by the night, this crusader, Durwin Elliot, slowly walked into the locker room and prepared for his workout. Through the unlit halls, he walked until reaching the weight room. There his counterpart, Mr. Alan Gorgal, an even earlier riser, pumped away at the bulk of iron. For the next hour Durwin lifted, pushed, and pulled the difference configurations of weights until his muscles were tight and weak. Then, after turning out the lights and locking up the weight room, Durwin again walked through the dark halls and up to the indoor track ab � vc the gym. After jog- ging, the now weak and exhausted Durwin Elliot had one thing on his mind, a long, hot shower. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday he repeated this goal for physical fitness. The real reason for these workouts, the goal behind the goal for Durwin Elliot was to become a faster, stronger, an improved baseball player. Durwin had been on the Varsity baseball squad since his sopho more year. This, his senior year, he wanted to be the best yet.If?

Starting in eighth grade as a track manager, Shari continued her education on up to high school, managing for girls basketball and softball for the past four years. Outside of school, she managed a summer softball team, which made her career experience a year round job. As a manager, Shari took on the responsibility of wrapping and taping the injuries before games and practices. She also ran errands for the coaches. During the games she kept the statistics and scorcbooks, and up until her senior year, she took care of water and towels, as well. Shari's other responsibility was keeping track of the uniforms and equipment. In her sophomore year. Shari received her major letter for her managerial job. Since Western Illinois was recommended for athletic training, Shari has planned to attend the university. I am really glad I decided to become a manager.

Mary Edwards worked as the assistant lighting director for Studio 17’ A Christ mu Show Mary operates the follow spot light, one of her |obs above the stage. She took a deep breath and glance nervously at him. Me? A white plastic end table?” she squeaked. In the smoke filled room, Mary Edwards tried her best to become a peice of furniture. It was only an exercise but she suddenly wished she were a part of the woodwork. Mitchell was a professional Shakespearian and a minor dicty to me. At his command, she became the table, not with make-up or costumes but by developing a level of intense concentration that would allow her to think and act like a table. She giggled later. An actor in 'Midsummer's Night Dream' plays the wall, maybe that’s next for me.” Being a table was only one part of the daily routine Mary followed at Studio 17 Performing Arts Centre, where she also studied dance, voice and muscial theory. And the Studio was only a fraction of the theatre work she did. She learned early that working on the lights was just as important and exciting as performing under them. She was proud of her work as the assistant lighting director of A Christmas Show produced by the Studio. She has also done tech work for Music Guild. Studying all aspects of performance took a lot of time but to Mary it was worth it. She's appeared in Music Man” as Mrs. Paroo; Look Homeward Angel as Mrs. Pert; and The Good Doctor” where the audience was treated to ten minutes of her ranting and raving as the woman. Oddly, both her Rocky and Community debut were the female leads. Susie Ward, in Babes in Arms and Ginger in Time Out for Ginger were a lot alike. Both were niavc, innocent and experiencing first love-it’s difficult to make them real because the characters are written to be typical 1950 teenagers-very shallow. Last February, a tonsilectimy took her out of Such Stuff Dreams arc Made of,” Rocky's introduction to Shakespeare. That made me mad. I'd just auditioned for 'To Kill a Mockingbird' too, and I had to quit everything.” Everything is an understatement, for Mary, barely finding time to sleep, also being a two year editor of the yearbook staff and a member of Mardi Gras, proving that she is indeed on the right track. $ Senior IBS Unzcl, Todd Valli, Karen Vandcwallc, Tony Vanhook.

They crept up to the car of guys they wished to talk to. then suddenly another car zoomed passed them and shouted. Meet us at McDonalds!” As they pulled into the parking lot at McDonald's, they saw that other people had the same idea. After they went inside and got a coke, the guys they followed got out of their car and started over toward them. The three girls excitingly combed their hair, and casually hopped on their car. Before long they said their good-byes and decided they would meet later at Ska-teland's parking lot. The three girls jumped into their car and chattered about the guys they had just discovered. After they pulled out of McDonald’s, the girls headed down twenty-third avenue. They drove past Jose Taco where another throng of teenagers had gathered. Let’s stop! She screamed over the loud radio music. The girls pulled into the parking lot and drove past the crowd. They recognized a few people, so they pulled over to talk.

Training and working for hours at a time takes strength and Bob Faulhaber has the ability and strength to keep his goal alive. When Bob moved to Rock Island 4 years ago from Rockford he wanted to look into the boxing program, Westside Boxing, located in Moline. He started training under the management of Mario Terroncz. Before his first fight his parents thought he would not stick with boxing, during the third round he knocked out his opponent from then on he knew boxing was for him. He believes that 80% of fighting is mental, yet you must be prepared physically as well. Not just Junior Bob boxes at 147, and has won the State Golden Glove for the Amateur Boxing Federation. If you have the style, this does not mean that you know all about boxing, you still must know how to plan your fights when you enter the ring your opponent can come to you surprisingly and catch you off guard. Having a plan worked out before you go in is important. Practicing every night for two hours helps Bob learn the problem spots he has when he fights. Having Mario as a trainer, he finds as an advantage to himself. Working out with Mario helps him on his footwork.

They simply amused, enlightened, but one. Steve Bailey was encouraged. As Steve watched, the special effects came to life and flowed together as if it were merely his imagination. At the time Steve was not a stranger to the dark room. Photography was his second language.” During his sophomore year Steve made a film relating to the mythology unit his class was engaged in and allowed them to share in his creation. Steve's interests increased and so his equipment needs also conformed. He made films for three years, and had built his hobby from camera to synthesizer.

Shawn played Billy, the youth who brought sunshine to Golden Pond during that special summer in Maine. Along with a couple of Circa's favorite actors. Pat Jeffery as Ethel and Jim Miller as Norman, they brought tears, giggles, and joy into the audience's heart. During his freshman year, Shawn got stuck in acting class instead of woodshop. After he fought to get out of acting. Mr. Marshall assured Shawn he'd like it. This was Shawn’s beginning and became his first love. Appearing in a short dialogue called If Thoughts Could Speak” in 9th grade, Shawn's talent blossomed. Two days before the program. Shawn was asked to be the Master of Ceremony for the 9th grade talent show. Making up his jokes while he went along. Shawn's punch lines were totally off the wall. Yet his freshman year did not seem enough. Shawn appeared in all the school productions last year.

Still, this did not equal what Shawn wanted. Creating an off the wall comedy act. he made the audience cry with pain in the Drama club’s annual talent show. After this craiy presentation, Mrs. Gcndc handed Shawn an opportunity he just couldn't have refused. Under Mrs. Gende's recommendation. Shawn tried out at Circa ‘21, received the part, and became a pro . Having been his first professional part, Shawn did not blink an eye in nervousness. Having appeared in many other school productions. Shawn's talent went growing and glowing. Whether a reporter, teenager. Master of Ceremony, or comedian. Shawn played the part with extreme skill.

The vast majority of Rocky’s student body enjoyed the clean, fresh crispness of the afternoon and the building excitement as they awaited Homecoming just a week and a half away. From the windows of the nearby hospital one saw Coach DeSutter running the football team through their drills. On this Wednesday afternoon sophomore Ann DePew enjoyed the outdoors on her weekly walk to the hospital. For her. another way to enjoy the afternoon came when she helped those who needed her. Upon arriving she changed into the white and salmon pink uniform of a junior volun- teer (or candy striper). She then spent the next three hours, from 3:00 to 6:00, doing her job. Basically, the job consisted of delivering flowers, menus, or water, and passing out food trays. For Ann. the job began in January of 1981, when she realizes she wanted to make a career of nursing. She checked into the area programs and due to reputation and convenience, chose the one at Franciscan. She enjoyed helping people and seemed content with the prospect of centering her life around it. It gives me a chance to work with the public and to meet interesting people, Ann said. Delivering flowers. Ann DePew. brightens up the lives of patients at Franciscan Hospital. Ann works weekly as a candy striper.

This camp consisted of handicapped teenagers. These teenagers suffered from Down's Syndrome and teens who behaved slower than they should. Since Leslie enjoyed working with these teens she agreed to try this and depending on how well it went she would possibly work again. Leslie has worked since. Leslie said, Even though the camp only lasted a week everyone has a great deal of pressure put onto them. In some ways the counselors have more work than the campers. At this camp they go on nature hikes in the woods and they are helped with the new autistic equipment. Leslie Cole is ukmg lime learning more about Down's Syndrome. Sophomore 20?

The Knights practiced on Tuesday and Thursday from six to ten at night. Then, early Saturday, they went to an all morning practice in preparation for the evening show. As for Sunday, the same grueling schedule again. Practice led up to their first two week tour of Texas. After they returned they had time enough to get clothes washed and packed before they left for a one week camp where they changed their routine and ironed out problems before they left on their second two week tour. On this trip they toured Wisconsin. Kentucky. Ohio, Canada. New York, and back up to Montreal for the Drum Corp International Finals. The Knights placed fifteenth with a score of 76 out of a possible 100. The season ended in mid-August. When asked why he liked attending the corp. sophomore Jay Ferm replied.

In reality, they make quite a momentous decision. The students chosen by their peers would for the next nine months represent their class in their important decisions. In addition, class officers duties included fund raising. As students of the sophomore class munched in the cafeteria on Monday September 13, they noticed a change. The colorful campaign posters no longer blasted out a message. People did not continue to ask their friends. Who ya gonna vote for?” and the sophomore class had its new officers in the form of President Colette Chichris, Vice President Beth Hass, and Secretary Treasurer Barbie Eagle. The sophomore class three sat down and immediately arrived at some goals to strive for and as the dust of the school year settled it became obvious they met them. Their number 1 priority became the float for Homecoming. The officers wanted to use the float as a tool for uniting their class. The float left them near bankrupt so they began a series of fundraisers. They held a bake sale and sponsored a dance. These two were so successful that they were able to donate some money to a charity and some to the school to be used wher ccver the school felt it was needed. It was a good year,” stated Colette, we set our goals and lived up to them, I hope we inssured ourselves for two more excellent years at Rocky. l|l Sophomore cUu President Colette Chickrit and Secretary Treivurer Barbie Eagle wait for Vice-pre� i-dent Beth Haw. 212 Sophomore Michael Tucker Mark Tunnell Gail Valli Mark Vannearwage Sydney VanDesener Kristy Vann Cornell Veasey Margaret Vesey James Vickery Ruby Victor Sergio Villarreal Michelle Vince Moria Vue Amy Waite Thomas Wakeland Steven Waldrip Richard Walling ormna fnhington Audrey Watson Shidell Watts Carl Weathers Maria Wcintraut Wickie Wells Darin Went Cindy Werthman Todd Westerlund Stesc Whitcomb Brian White George White Teena White Timothy White Richard Wicklmc Thomas Wignall Renee Wilburn Andrea Williams Gregory Williams jasper Williams Jeffery Williams Rebecca Williams James Wilson Mark Wilson Thomas Wilson Jamie Witherspoon James Wixom Faith Woods Tonia Wright Patricia Yancey Xang Yang Mario Ybarra Eluabeth Yelm Kelly Yeocum Amy Yeoman Scott Young Thongkhao Yuenyoung John Zanbrano Mark Zwicker Sophomores 213 Derkk Adiim Lonnie Adim« Michelle Agy Kimherli Alhcn Sheila Allen John Allison Ramsey Allison Cassandra Anderson James Anderson Jill Anderson Terri Anderson Diana Andrews John Anguiano Joni Ardrey Vernice Arrington Linda Atkins Jeffrey Atkinson Heather Bailey Michael Baker Christine Baldwin Herbert Ball Scott Baltimore Janice Banks Leon Bannas Teresa Barman Crystal Barnes Alphonto Barnum Bradley Bartelt Noel Battcrson Ysonne Bauwcns Helena Barer Rebecca Beane Freshman seizes role As her nerves shook and her spine tingled, she knew as a freshman, she would be obligated to show her best form. Through tryouts and callbacks, Karla Nightingale took part in the beginning of what would be her first major production-the fall play. She had never acted before, but she watched the experienced, older actors. She let acting aid a part in her life. Learning the proper way to nudge herself into character, how to give and receive constructive criticism, and how to utilize props to her benefit. When she performed this, Karla succeeded in fulfilling her goal. She stole the role of Miss Preen in the fall play, The Man Who Came to Dinner . Mrs. Gcnde, the play’s director, showed Karla the basic properties required to act and be believable. With her criticism, she forced Karla to recognize the more effective properties of an actor. In the eyes of her fellow classmates, she may have looked like another face in the halls. But in the eyes of the audience, she's an actress who's curtain has just been opened. On November 19th. Karla's opening night jitters crept in as she took to the stage and proved to the audience she was a star $ 214 Freshmen Wendy Behrenv Ricky Bell Michelle Bennett Jeffrey Benton Raymond Betty Celia Better Mark Bethell Tonya Bibbv Alice Bluedorn Pryce Bo eye William Bolio Cheryl Bomar Garth Bote Gina Boyd Carolyn Bragg Delphonc Bragg Thereta Bragg Pamella Brandlc Donalette Branham Angela Brodnax Keith Brody Chrivty Broemmcr Dwayne Brookv Brian Brown Dan Brown Gregory Brown Melina Brown Kelly Buckley Carrie Bull Rita Burkhead David Burney Victoria Burragc Michael Burrill Carla Butler Timothy Calvert Deborah Campbell Jeff Campbell Diana Carpenter Tony Carr Denneth Carroll Thomav Cervantcv Sean Chance Dorothy Children Jamct Children Kevin Chrivtic John Chrivtner Edward Clark Kimberly Clark Don Clay Wilecha Clay Willit Clayton Rovalind Cohhv Lynette Cole Sydney Cole Trevor Collie Angela Comfert Peggy Condon Gary Conley Michael Conlon Kim Connell Ricky Conner Dawn Cook Paul Cooke Tony Cooper 219 Frevhmen Muppet Mania This epic began ai (he nine year old birthday party of freshman, Mike Rich. After blowing out the candles and eating the cake, present opening time came, and not a second too soon. As Mike ripped through package after package of clothes, socks, and underwear, he came to a seemingly innocent, medium-sired one. Wishing for anything but another pair of toughskin jeans or fruit of the loom underwear, Mike slowly tore through the wrapping paper. He couldn't hold back however, as he frantically completed tearing the wrapping, and (hen he quickly ripped through the box. Time seemed to stop, as he peered into the box and noticed two weird eyes peering back at him. Was it some type of monster? , he wondered. Lifting it from the box. he recognized this monster. In a strange voice. Mike happily responded, Cooky Monster. Happy was Mike indeed, since he had been a long time fan of Sesame Street. Mike went to bed reminiscing the day gone by. but having no idea of what this day would lead to. The next key incident came that same year, on Christmas Eve. Mike's parents knew how he enjoyed his first muppet and decided to buy him another. As the entire Rich family opened (heir presents, Mike came to a seemingly innocent mediumsized package. From it he removed a fuzzy muppet named Grover. The next day the festivities continued, which included eating Christmas dinner and playing with all the new toys. As Mike worked his new hand puppet, a voice shouted out of Mike's mouth. It was Grover's voice, and he continued to effortlessly speak in this voice. My name is Grover”, he uttered. The madness of this manifest manipulation and mimicking of the muppet magnified when he undermined the morphogenesis of yet another monstrosity. This idea to make a muppet popped into Mike's head from nowhere, or did it? Could this idea have came about through the influence of the muppets he controlled? Did he ever have control of the muppets? Could Mike have become a victim of Muppet Mania? Whatever the case, he began the construction by gathering the proper materials. Mike used a tupperwear bowl cut in half for the frame of the mouth, cardboard for the mouth, a ping pong ball cut in half for the eyes, part of a wig for the eye brows, and fabric for the body. With some glue and thread. Mike finished his creation and called it Clifford. In the following birthdays. Christmas holidays, and yard sales, Mike added to his collection Miss Piggy, Kermit. Animal, Ernie, and Oscar. Having all these freaks and characters did create problems. His favorite muppet. Grover, lost an arm, but surgery repaired the problem. Surgery was also performed on Kermit's detached eye. The muppets often wrestled with Mike's dog. Blazer. These problems went along with the good, the bad. and the ugly of the life of a devoted muppet maniac. The good outweighted the other two. Mike even joined the Muppet Show Fan Club, a club with many muppet maniac members. In fact, muppet mania seemed to be accepted all over. This was evident when Mike worked Grover and sang Rainbow Connection in a sixth grade talent show. His act was enjoyed so much that he was asked to perform again at a P.T.A meeting. Another big thrill came at Boy Scout Camp when Mike worked Animal and sang Mahnanana to a standing ovation and encore. Fourteen year old Mike Rich, a Rocky freshman, became less of a muppet maniac over his junior high and freshman years. Mike had still kept his collection in lively shape, including his old favorite, Grover and his own creation, Clifford. $ Mike Kith displays a few of hit friends; Mitt Piggy. Clifford.

Rocky seemed huge compared to his junior high. He strolled down the hall proud to he a freshman. He carried a new gym bag slung over his shoulder. He went from class to class dazed with a lost expression on his face. He stumbled through the halls looking at the artwork on the walls. Upperclassmen pushed him out of (he way as they rushed to class, trying to make it on time. This freshman seemed not to care, ah-ha, he cared he just got lost. He tried asking upperclassmen for help, but found that he soon became jostled out of the way. What could he do but continue to hunt? A look of relief came over his face as his class came into sight. The teachers piled book on top of book onto the freshman. He stuffed them into his gym bag because his locker had yet to be found. No longer could that new gym bag be slung over his shoulder, but hung down heavy at his side. He spent lunch looking for his locker because no more books would fit into his gym bag. Finally, he discovered it. After two or three tries the locker opened.

Staff Manager of Group Cable. Phillip Dingeldcin, figured twenty six percent of Rocky freshmen viewed MTV weekly. MTV fanatic Jesse Jackson commented, I watch MTV every day and I think the videos are great!” Another freshman, Ma-chelle Ford said, It’s cool, but it needs more Go-Go's. The Go-Go’s along with Lovcrboy, Men at Work, The Bow-Wow’s, Adam and the Ants and other popular groups were presented on MTV. Besides group videos. MTV featured full coverage on concerts around the country, specials about topical events in music, news of the music world, interviews of stars, and feature films.

After years of being educated. THE DAY had arrived as students of the graduating class lined up for the commencement exercise. The hands of students were sweating and hearts were beating twice as fast. As for the undergraduates, this was a time for wishful thinking or a let's watch and see how it’s done”. In the mind of one senior, passed the thoughts of the years spent at the Rock. His thoughts included the homecoming dance, those dreadful detentions sitting in that hard wooden desk on a hot summer day with sweat running down his nose and the infamous orange passes that sometimes allowed him to sit in the air conditioned office. Now all that was a memory and the future was the main concern. Many planned to go on to college, while others continued to work. Now it was his turn as they called his name out. One of the pleasures of being at the Rock was not only that it gave them enjoyment and education but an idea of life to lead them On the Right Track.” Jj} Hundreds of Seniors wait patiently to receise their diploma. This not only graduates them from school hut is the ticket for their future. Mforking while still in school to finance a college education is a popular idea. Dawn Quinby works nights at the Oaks to earn tuition. Sleep is a major goal for many Rocky students. For Tom McNamara IS minutes on the bus is a great achievement. Closing 227 A Ahhoi, Tab 190 Abel.

These people who died left behind happy merories. they did not leave us completely. Four students died in a period of only four months. Steve Schafer was one of the four. He liked to look upon the humor of life. His jokes and smiles will be missed but not forgotten. Jan Titus and Mike Snyder were both killed in a car accident when they lost control of the car and struck a house. Shelby Baumgardcr died after a car accident on New Year's Eve. Steve Schafer.

Denotes National Honor Society Index 237 VISIT Chants of VTc’rc number one echo through the fteldhouse as the fans mob the floor; after the Rocks proved they are on the right track by rolling over the number one ranked Quincy Blue Devils. Hallways untangle, school hops Dn the right track The lockcrrooms locked up as tight as a drum; the classrooms free of the normal cluttered shelves; and the humming of the typewriters ceased. The temperature rose and so did the anticipation of the summer. The year had come to a close, and Rock Island students had done a complete turn around with out notice. The year began on the wrong foot, when the hallways became so cluttered between classes it was next to impossible to reach a desired destination on time. When it came time for the students to evaluate the year at the Rock, however, the asscsets out-weighed the liabilities. The football season fout it's place in the rank and file after the Rocks grabbed the Western Big Six Conference title, and Coach DeSutter led the team to the state playoffs, where three bus loads of students and fans cheered the Rocks on against the Chicago suburbanited Glcnn-bard North. Then came the b-ballers, next in line when the students chalked'em up for the Rock. The Rocks battled their way to another twenty win season, this time tak- ing down the Blue Devils of Quincy and the Streaks of Galesburg. They also took hold of a piece of the Big Six conference title. The Rocks managed to grab a state-ranking before the season closed out, reaching the number sixteen spot. Anther star in the company of the Rocks was grappler Tim Wright, who again took the first blace title in his weight category' at the state competition. The Rocks managed to keep in tune with the help of the Marching Rocks and the pep band. The band marched their way to another Sweepstakes award at the Western Illinois Band Competition. The hands marched to the beat of the Rocky drum as the band's cheers and music echoed throughout, and brought the tunes, well known to Rocky fans, into the school and into the sports. On the academic side of the coin, the number of High Honor students incread-cd and the drop out rate decreased. The improvements made by both faculty and students through the year, proved the school and its people had finally begun it’s journey on the right track , wfj Ante c learly hows hoard follow ing the Quine K( Rocky • The end of the year roll around only to won for Mr. Minch, a he find that packing take longer than anticipated; especially ince he i not a ured of returing to Rocky due to the budget cut .
