Rock Island High School - Watchtower Yearbook (Rock Island, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 200 of the 1986 volume:

A Symbol Of Strength And Pride T here we were, all 2,065 very dif¬ ferent people with different back¬ grounds, plans, ideals and fu¬ tures. Yet we managed to come together and form a whole. In 1986 we were “sol¬ id as a rock”. Just ten years ago, in 1976, a huge boulder was deposited on the Rock Is¬ land High School campus in front of the fieldhouse. Over the years the rock has become famous and has served as a visible symbol of Rocky’s strength, power and unity. At times the boulder became a sketch board for students from rival schools. They felt they could communicate their supposed superior¬ ity over Rocky’s student body. Yet with The dedication cornerstone proclaims that “The Rock” is for all students who have passed through the halls of Rocky. unity and pride. Rock Island High School and it’s rock always prevailed. The rock may be smaller in physical size due to the numberous cleansings by the sand blaster but the pride and dig¬ nity of what it stands for has not dimin¬ ished at all. Rocky offered its students not only a solid education but a firm foundation on which to build a strong future after high school. Whether you were college bound or headed straight into the work¬ ing world Rocky guided you and helped pave the way. A strong staff saw to it that Rocky graduates will always be academically respected in the job mar¬ ket and the world of higher education. Sports highlighted Rocky’s spirit of oneness and power over tbe years. Both athletes and fans joined together for that common cause of victory. More of¬ ten than not, this year, victory fell into the hands of the Rocks. Over half of Rocky’s teams had a winning season. In the final analysis it was the people that made Rocky strong, students, fac¬ ulty and administration. Although we were all independent, unique indivi¬ duals we learned to work togethe r to get the most for ourselves, each other and our school. We were like little pieces of the rock, working in a united way to bind together for strength so we will always be “solid as a rock”.

Bolt upright. 7:45 a.m.?.Overslept again? Wait a minute ... It’s summer! Back to sleep until around noon. Ah summer, no more crowded hall¬ ways, dull classes or homework. Just you and the glorious sun. It was up to you to decide how to spend the entire day. A popular summer pastime was sleeping through breakfast and maybe even lunch. Most people however got out of bed in time to hit the lawn chairs during the peak tanning hours. Rocky students found a number of different ways to spend their summer days. Go¬ ing to the lake, shopping at the mall, taking part in sports and working topped the lists. Shana Rice spent her summer conditioning for the basketball season to come, Sharon Lange spent 50 hours a week baby sitting and Sean Chance found himself in Washington’s Olympic mountains rebuilding trails and climbing mountains. Summer nights usually found Rocky students piling into cars to terrorize the Quad Cities with all kinds of teenage antics. Drive in movies, crusing 23 ave¬ nue and parties occupied a great deal of the evening hours. The more romantic- ly inclined found summer nights the perfect time to get together with that someone special to gaze at the stars or just take a stroll in the warm air. No matter how you spent your days or nights you were sure to have a great time, after all it was summer. Of course along with all of summer’s advantages there were disadvantages. Chris Early found, “The only thing wrong with summer was it wasn’t long enough.” Other people had quite a list of complaints against this sunny season also. Some students found coming back to school and getting into the swing of things a major trama after three months of lazing around. Kerry Scud- der didn’t like summer when there was nothing to do but fight with her older brother. Julie VanDePutte hated the unbearable heat that seems to be a sum¬ mer trademark, but she went on to say, “Even though I do have dislikes I still feel summer is the greatest.” With the end of August came anxious anticipation for the first day of school. As much as we looked forward to school being out for the summer we got more excited about it starting in the fall. Me¬ lissa Ledford summed it up best when she said, “When summer comes all I think about is if my next school year will be better than the one before it.” Some Rocky students like Gina Boyd not only worked all summer but had to be at Rocky as well. She was the switchboard operator in the main office. A summer festival on the mall supplied the per¬ fect chance for Mr. Payton to sell barbecued ribs while Gordon Staley raised money for the foot¬ ball team by selling jerseys. These students decided to use their summer to ment with Mr. Strupp. get a jump on needed credits by taking govern- Student Life Contests And Laughs Head Spirit Week Rocky’s usually rousing spirit seemed to take a roller coaster ride this school year. There were many ups and downs, curves and straight aways. Homecoming sent the roller coaster to the peak. More organizations and in¬ dividuals took part in the homecoming preparations and parade than anyone could remember. Rocky students could feel proud of their 31 unit parade with every element being of top quality. The coaster dipped into the valley as the cheerleaders tried to get the student body to send up an encouraging cheer at pep assemblies however. Once again students hit the high road of spirit as they donned their red and gold during the winter to encourage the basketball players on to another win¬ Crowds always seemed to gather to watch the lunch time activities during Spirit Week.

The Letterman’s Club added a boost to Rocky spirit as they sponsored their “Rent-A-Letterman” campaign for the second straight year. The red and gold sweaters were seen everywhere as orga¬ nization members promoted the good times to raise money for community projects. As spring approached and thoughts of graduation soared through every¬ one’s mind spirit and pride took one last fling. As we prepared to move from one important faze of our lives into the bigger world beyond we took one last look back. We remembered the good things and proclaimed our spirit and thanks with a rousing version of our Alma Mater at the closing ceremony.

' ■ 8 Student Life Special Week Of Fun Rain may have dampened the ground, but it couldn’t drowned out the spirit of Rocky students during the 1985 Homecoming festivities. Although the week began with glori¬ ous bright, blue skies, brilliant red, or¬ ange and yellow trees, the magestic au¬ tumn skies turned cloudy and produced a constant down-pour from Wednesday through Sa turday. Students paid no heed to the weather and went on with donning their forbid¬ den hats and shades legally for one day. They turned their jeans inside out and backwards, promoted their favorite col¬ lege sweatshirt, scrounged up their “bu- miest” clothes, and finally wore the red and gold that traditionally winds up spirit week. Senate started new lunchtime rituals such as balloon breaking, cracker whis¬ tling, an egg toss and a creative event that took more coordination than most Rocky students had, the five-person centipede race. Friday the sky was still gray, but the field house was bright with crimson and gold. The air was tinged with excite¬ ment. Laughter arose when a heart¬ broken jockette. Bob Lelonek, poured out his feelings of disappointment from the lack of enthusiasm toward the quite awkward second string cheerleaders. So when the “girls” did a routine to the tune of Te quilla on Bob’s kazoo, the crowd went wild and the pitiful squad trounced off happily. The assembly ended with announc¬ ing of prince and princess, Sean Pres¬ cott and Wilesha Clay. Followed by the crowning of king, Trevor Collie, and queen, Kim Logan. Afterwards, everyone met downtown for the biggest parade ever. The Seniors took first with a working waterfall, and the Sophomores had second with a boat that could have floated down the street in the puddles. Journalism’s first pa¬ rade entry of a rainbow brought on hope for that night’s game; which was much needed, for UTHS was a top- ranked team. The Rocks were unfortunately de¬ feated 42-25 but the fans still cheered them as if they’d won. Saturday everyone was filled with anticipation for “Rocky’s Big Adven¬ ture”. The girls’ gym was decked out in metallic streamers and floating bal¬ loons. Students danced to tunes played by Rocky alumnus, Ron Hotchkiss. Eleven o’clock came all too soon, for once again Homecoming had come to an end. As everyone left they were filled with the memories of the Home¬ coming that might have been rained out if that fierce Rocky spirit hadn’t shown through.

Student Life 9 Fun With Friends Like students everywhere, we all go to school so we can get involved with the extra-curricular and recreational activities. Whether it’s dating, joining an organization, attending an athletic event or going to parties, they all brought a social purpose to our lives. Many students preferred the dating scene. Waiting for that special someone to agree on a date often brought some anxiety to our lives. Once the agreed upon day and time arrived there was that moment of butterflies, wondering if we would past the test of our dates expectations. Fall and winter week-ends always brought the sporting events to the fore of everyone’s mind. It was a place you could go stag or with a date and still have fun. If possible we tried to go to a wild and crazy party afterward so we could forget about the English test we had just failed that day. Student participation in organiza¬ tions and sports meant new challenging experiences. It gave us opportunities to meet new people from different back¬ grounds. We soon found those students with common interests and made many new friends, some who may last a life¬ time. These friends carried over to our summer activities when we went to the beach, skiied on the river, attended a rock concert and relaxed at the drive-in movie. All this running around only served to make us hungry so off we went for pizza or hamburgers. It was almost certain that we could find more friends at the local eatery. Once we were back home mom and dad could always find those little chores we were to attend to but if we were lucky we could sneak off to our rooms. There we found our best friend of all — the telephone. This is how we kept in constant touch with our sepa¬ rated peers. No matter where we went, what we did, who we were with or what time it was, our minds were always full of the new plans for recreation and friends. That is what high school life is all about. Telephones are a must for teenagers. Karen Rob¬ inson is caught chatting with a friend. Fall made it possible for Chris Larson and Laurel Taylor to take part in a favorite childhood activ¬ ity of playing in the leaves. Parties were the perfect chance to get friends to¬ gether for a few laughs and a good time.

Student Life 11 Community Involvement Solid . .. that’s what we would like our school to be. Building a firm foun¬ dation takes lots of time, effort, and especially team work. Thanks to the many clubs and organizations the Rock is as strong as it ever has been. This school year two new clubs have been added to the already lengthy list of organizations. The newest group is the Rocky Bike Club which got off to a good start due to the national interest in biking. The once strong and popular Ski Club made a repeat performance on the list. With these two additions stu¬ dents now had a great opportunity for some good outdoor activities. The many extra-curricular activities of the school are quite often sponsored by clubs. So without these, our school wouldn’t be what we’ve made it today. It is a school whose students care enough to make it great. Special recognition went to all the groups like Senate, Lettermens, and Key Club who mix fun with community service. Blood drives, learn to swim programs, and visits to the elderly were just some of the good works of the Rocky student body. So with those students, teachers and sponsors in mind, we give a special col¬ or salute to the clubs and organizations here at the Rock who have made it what it is today . . . Solid. As Ski Club returned to Rocky this year many members like Bob Lundholm and Brian Nelson checked-out new gear. 12 Student Life Craig Hulletl and Kevin Dennis enjoy the grub at one of German Clubs’ parties.

Student Life 13 Life on campus always includes getting together with friends to cheer the football team on to victory. Campus Life Fulfilling Spending four to ten hours a day on Rock Island High School’s campus made Rocky a home away from home for many students. Campus life offered all sorts of extra curricular, social and scholastic activi¬ ties to make the time more interesting. Sports played a big part in most stu¬ dents lives, if not participating there was always the chance to spectate. Clubs lent diversity to somewhat mo¬ notonous days with everything ranging from informational meetings to fondue parties. Many students found Rocky to be the foundation on which to build a social life that would supply friends to last a lifetime. Lunch was one of the opportu¬ nities to get together with friends to share news, gossip and a general good time while endulging in cafeteria cui¬ sine. The locker was the one place on cam¬ pus which was yours alone, unless you decided to do the forbidden and share. Anything could be put in your locker, anything to make it more like home. Your locker was after all a part of your life on campus, kind of the equivalent to your bedroom. All these things and more combined to make time spent on Rocky’s campus worthwhile and fulfilling.

A major part of Rock Island High School life includes hanging out in the parking lot after school. A new addition to high school life at Rocky this year was a salad bar in the cafeteria. It soon be¬ came a popular place for friends to meet. Rocky is fortunate to have a beautiful football stadium as part of the campus.

Family and friends gathered to see 16 Student Life The Choices Were Made Our final year is upon us! Hundreds of people will fill the stands. The stadi¬ um will be flooded with friends and rel¬ atives watching the 1986 graduating class of Rock Island High School. Thirteen years ago, we began our stu¬ dious journey to this grand event. We have grown up, met new people and have learned about ourselves. Our friends will go away to college, the armed forces or straight into the work¬ ing world. Being seniors, we have to make the choices that will affect our lives forever. The memories of Rocky are deeply im- Stephanie Hillyer proudly displayed her unique orchid arrangement for the Junior-Senior Prom. bedded in our minds — we’re as solid as a Rock! But this isn’t the only memory we will carry, Prom is another big event that took place in May. “Smile pretty!” was the basic demand of parents who just had to take pictures of their son or daughter in their fancy clothes. Then they rushed to meet res¬ ervations at an elegant restaurant and then off to the dance on the riverboat. The Queen of Hearts. The tuxedos have been returned, but the prom dresses still hang in the clos¬ ets to take up space and serve as an¬ other reminder of that starry night floating down the river. The punch bowl is always a popular place at Prom. Kristen Kessler and Trevor Collie took advantage of a break in the dancing to get a re¬ freshing drink. Tom Snyder gave a questioning look when he couldn ' t find his date for a favorite dance num¬ ber. Student Life 17 Big Bucks And Whammy “Big bucks” were an important influ¬ ence in the lives of Rocky students this year. Financial needs lead many stu¬ dents to seek jobs to pay for weekend activities, clothes, cars and other mate¬ rial needs. Quite a few students spent a good portion of their time filling out employ¬ ment applications. Hours could be spent at this task and often the effort was quite worthwhile. Many students got the jobs they worked so hard to find but others had to scrimp and forgo the extras as the local employment market still wasn’t very good. When a job was finally attained the horizon may have looked quite bright but it also had its bleak moments. Many jobs involved critical weekend working hours on the very days teen¬ agers so eagerly awaited for their fun and good times. Having to spend the weekend at work could put a serious crimp in a students social life and made the weekend just a boring extension of the week. Other jobs required working school nights. Then students found that many of their precious sleeping hours had to be given up for homework and impor¬ tant assignments that were forgotten or put off until the last minute. On the other hand students may have found themselves with many things that weren’t possible before. They were able to afford those over priced jeans they eyed for so long. They might have been able to save some of their hard earned money to put themselves in the drivers seat of a new car. Or maybe they just spent the money on a date they couldn’t afford before they started get¬ ting paychecks. No matter how hard or long they worked and how careful they were with the money it seemed like “whammy” and it all disappeared as soon as the check was cashed. The sav¬ ings accounts just didn’t grow as fast as they thought or planned. The Rocky work force was made up of everything from box boys to pharma¬ ceutical assistants. Most students were quite content to be employed. They found themselves with extra money, work experience for the future and a lot less television watching time, a sure plus in everyone’s eyes.

Pigging Out And Working It Off The beginning of school promises the start of many new activities. Among the most favored of these, are attending ball games, and going to parties and movies. The excitement of these, often brings on an unfathamable hunger. One that forces most teens to make a pit stop at Hardees, Taco Bell, or Happy Joe’s, and pig out! Quad-City area health spas found many Rocky students and staff enrolled in aerobics classes. Unfortunately school doesn’t allow much time for the needed excercise to work off those weekend binges. Jogging, the most popular way of getting rid of unwanted pounds, becomes difficult for some once the cold, snow and ice sets in. The solution for most is buying a mem¬ bership to a health club. Stuffing ones self with burgers, pizza, tacos and chips is fun. With it, however, comes the grueling task of getting rid of those calories in sweat.

As the end of the school year finally rolls around, the Watchtower staff finds they have managed to accumulate a rather large pile of unused pictures. When that small pile of pictures grew into a massive mountain, we felt it nec¬ essary to find someplace to use a few of these less-than-presentable photos. After sorting through the chaos, the staff was genuinely shocked. A few of the scenes that passed through our cameras were not fit for a lay-out in Playboy so needless to say they were not acceptable for the Rock Island High School Watchtower. These pictures had people captured in rather risque poses including girls shaving their legs, people stepping out of the shower and students performing many other personal unmentionables. There were incriminating shots of stu¬ dents doing things they wouldn’t tell anyone about so, of course, pictures in the yearbook were out of the question. When we studied many of these pic¬ tures we decided the staff could prob¬ ably make a fortune in a blackmailing ring. We also cannot forget our lightning fast photographers and the pictures they took. Such embarrassing shots as students slipping on ice, tumbling down stairs or dropping plates of food, pro¬ vided moments of hysterical laughter for the staff members. In recognition of those we caught do¬ ing whatever and for being such good sports we dedicate this page to some of the more tasteful photos for your enjoy¬ ment. We are not really sure who we caught doing what but when you are crawling out a window onto the roof it doesn’t hnik gi)od. 24 Look W’ho We Caught RGANTZATION 26 Deadlines And Pressures Students in the journalism depart¬ ment soon found out what deadlines and pressure was all about. The aspir¬ ing journalist in Mrs. Wahe’s classes published both the school newspaper, The Crimson Crier and yearbook, the Watchtower. Some of the students began work on the publications during the summer of ’85. Michelle Keller and Stacy Wahe attended a one week workshop for year¬ book at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, in July. Six additional staff mem¬ bers spent three days at Rockford Col¬ lege at a workshop sponsored by our representative from Jostens Publishing. Shortly after school began ten more new journalists attended a workshop at Augustana College. After this, new staff members had the basics of yearbooking and were ready to put the 1986 edition together. A contest in the spring brought the winning cover design in from Matt Denten. Paula Coleman sent in the theme for the book which was “Solid As A Rock”. Both students received free yearbooks for their efforts. The Crimson Crier got started with an entirely new inexperienced staff with the exception of the co-edi¬ tors, Michelle Keller and Heather McMillan. The two jounralism classes worked together to bring about the monthly news magazine. A new Macintosh computer was pur¬ chased by the journalism department and helped a great deal with both pub¬ lications. A number of students began to learn how computers can add to and enhance the journalism production. Credit for the 1985-86 Crimson Cri¬ er and Watchtower goes to the stu¬ dents pictured on these four pages. Many long, and sometimes frustrating hours, have gone into these publica¬ tions for the enjoyment of the students of Rock Island High School. Susie Snyder and Charlie Wallace spent many outs.

Michelle brought home a first place trophy for layout de¬ sign for her efforts. Preparing copy for The Crimson Crier was a time consuming task.

Planned ac¬ tivities for the school year included var¬ ious fundraisers to enhance the club’s dwindling treasury, a dinner at a French restaurant for club members, and a ten day trip to France that took place over Spring Break and was spon¬ sored by French Club. Students who went on the trip spent time in Paris, went sightseeing, and visited many of the famous chateaus in France. The past school year was unmatched for the French Club. With the various enlightening activities that took place as well as the first ever trip to France, one would obviously have to say that, for Rocky’s French Club, the year was Tres Bien! Miss Roloff, Mara Doughty, Dannette Seward, Trent Knanishu, and Herb Ball all participated in the trip to France. Officers: Christy Hullet, Ann McDevitt, and Scott Sable.

V-olley- ball and a blazing bonfire proved to be a favorite part of the evening. Cierman Club members eat some frankfurters at the Club ' s Spring Picnic. The Christmas party was filled with lots of holiday spirit and games, and a spring picnic wrapped up the German Club’s annual events, with a softball game, talk of the fun throughout the year, and a few sad goodbyes. Having fun - German style-seemed to be the rule for this year’s club, and it was fol¬ lowed with enthusiasm! Bill Schwegler did his imitation of the Berlin wall at the German Club Christmas Party.

Early in the year Close-Up Club at Rocky was well on its way to raising enough money for those students who wanted to go. There were about twenty students who were involved in Close-Up Club at Rocky this year and they all worked hard to raise money, by having fun¬ draisers like the Filabuster-Athon and the bake sale. Another fundraiser was held in January and was a dance spon¬ sored by Close-Up Club. The trip to Washington D.C. was a fun learning experience for the mem¬ bers who went, but even the members who did not take the trip learned a lot. All in all Close-Up had a very good year at Rocky and they plan to have many more. Student’s who have participated in the Close-Up trip are: Rachel Thomas, Stacy Wahe, Beth Hass, Cheryl Lindemann, Lonnie Ledford, Wendy Bragg, Bill Schwegler, Brad Schraeger, Pryce Boeye with sponsor Mr. Dennis. Close-Up Club 33 Solid Academics Senior Honor Society officers included Kristen Kessler, Kevin Hird and Ann McDevitt. Rock Island High School first char¬ tered membership in the National Hon¬ or Society in 1937. Rocky has shown a solid foundation in academics with a large number of students being induct¬ ed into the organization since that time. This year 114 new members were added to the long list. The senior class contributed 39 new National Honor Society members. The juniors and sophomores have 75 provi¬ sional members. It is necessary to maintain a 3.65 Af.f{.5. grade point average to obtain admit¬ tance to the group. While the cumula¬ tive grade point average is the key fac¬ tor for eligibility for National Honor Society, members are expected to also show good character, leadership and service to both their school and com¬ munity. A large group of friends and relatives witnessed the induction ceremonies held in the auditorium on April 17, with a reception in the cafeteria following. Seniors with high honors.

National Honor Society 35 Senate President Pryce Boeye flashes the victory sign. One Of The Best Ever 6eno[te The loud pounding of the gavel and the words, “Come to order!”, came from the mouth of the 85-86 president, Pryce Boeye, as the first Senate meeting kicked off. This years many activities started off with a Senate sponsored, “Fright Night, Halloween Dance!”, at which they used the newly purchased Senate stereo sys¬ tem. The Senate made many other pur¬ chases, including a bulletin board which was hung by the Deans’ Complex for student ideas, and school activities information. Along with Swirl, the next big event on the Senate agenda was Homecom¬ ing. This year’s theme was “Rocky’s Big Adventure”, and proved to be a big suc¬ cess. The Seniors took first place in the float building contest for the first time in the four years they were here at Rocky, but the class of “87” prevailed once again in the Spirit Week Competi¬ tion. This year’s Senate worked very hard, and got a lot done! As Pryce Boeye com¬ mented, “I think this year’s Senate has been one of the most successful ever.” Freshmen and Sophomore Senators: Front Row: D. Mallory, G. Tweet, L. Lee, D. Quinn, J.

This year’s Key Club spent over 284 hours raising money and helping the community. They held a dance and collected over twenty boxes of canned goods for local food pantries. The local Kiwanis Club sponsored a window con¬ test during the holidays and Rocky Key Club members decorated their’s in a 19th century Civil War Christmas theme. The holiday season also brought Christmas parties at several elderly highrises. The annual Learn to Swim program was also a big success. Volun¬ teer members met twice a week in the schools’ pool to teach youngsters to swim. All in all Key Club had a very suc¬ cessful year. Every member found out if the “K” is on the key or the key is on the “K”. Key Club Introducing Culture Rocky’s Black Student Union started the 85 - 86 school year off by changing its name to the Black Cultural Society. With a new name came the understand¬ ing that all students at the Rock were welcome to join the club, regardless of race or ethnic background. Club members volunteered much time and worked as a team to produce a float for the homecoming parade, and to make the club’s fundraisers a success. The club’s fundraising profits went to their annual $500.00 scholarship for an outstanding Negro student. The club’s sponsors, Mrs. Glasgow and Mr. Payton offered ideas for the Christmas and Rush parties as well as the Black History Week which was sponsored by B.C.S. The year was an¬ other example of the club’s commit¬ ment to solidness at the Rock. Officers: K. Logan, President, A. Shelton, Secre¬ tary Treasurer, V. Burrage, Vice President. Not Pictured: C.

In the first two tournaments they captured first place at Roanoke Benson, and third place at North Boone in Var¬ sity. The 84-85 school year proved to be a building year for Rocky, and in the end when state rolled around the Pawns played with great skill as they tied for Second in State but received fifth place in the tiebreaker. The State tourna¬ ment was held here, at Rocky, and was Holly Johnson surveys the board for that elusive winning move. composed of more than fifty teams. The Rocks had an experienced staff of players who were letterwinners and played at State in ’85. Returning team members were: Eric Bertleson, Kuan Ma, John Timmer, Victor Mata, Lor¬ enzo Jackson, Holly Johnson, and Patti Chen. These members were a small part of the entire team of 60 members. Rocky Pawnpower is on the way up, and the 85-86 school year was proof of that. Keep an eye out for those promis¬ ing Rocks! Kuan Ma studies the board while John Timmer studies the camera.

The Pep Club at Rock Island High School had quite an active 85-86 school year with all of the cheer¬ ing and fundraising they had to do, but it proved to be worth every minute of the work. During basketball season Pep Club members could be found cheering on the Rock’s in their own special section of the stands. They also were out on the court entertaining the crowds at half¬ time. This is one club that did not sit still all year. The Pep Club did a lot more in 85-86 than just cheer on the Rock Island ath¬ letes. In between seasons Pep Club could be found having sales, sponsoring raffles and more. But what this club really did was bring spirit to the Rock, and with this spirit came the feeling that Rocky is 1 and that, yes, we truly are solid as a rock. Pep Club 41 Asst. Drum Major. K.

The Rock Island High School Marching Band All We Need Is Music The instrumental music department had another successful year. Starting with marching in the fall, the band made themselves visible throughout the community. They performed in the Labor Day Parade through Rock Island in addition to home football games and the Homecoming and Milan Summer Fest Parades. This fall also saw the return of the Orchestra program to the curriculum. This program combines all orchestra students from 4th to 12th grades in ear¬ ly bird rehearsals. This arrangement hopes to strengthen the orchestra with¬ in the next few years. The Rocky Jazz Band traveled and competed, going to the Rova and Far¬ mington Jazz fests and finishing well. The group did many performances throughout the year in town and away. Basketball games were made even more alive with the Pep Band. This band played at all home games and also at the football tailgate party. Together, the musicians stayed busy all year. Many instrumentalists competed in solo ensemble and organizational con¬ tests in the spring. Marching began again in May for Memorial Day parades and ended on June 8th with Concert Band at Graduation. 42 Band Woodwinds Front Row: M. Reed, D. Gephart, L. Gunter, B. Bell, S. Gibbons, J.

Her guidance and ex¬ pertise have brought forth the hidden talents of her choir members, leading six of them to All-State. This is the first time in at least ten years that anyone from Rock Island High School has made it. Making All-State is the highest honor a music student can receive. Mrs. Klinger spent most of her extra time rehearsing with All-Staters, Swing Choir, Madrigal, and soloists before and after school. As the years progress, Rock Island High School will be seeing new and better things coming from the music department. Mrs. Klinger should be commended for her outstanding loy¬ alty and patience to the group. Mixed Glee was often found rehearsing for up¬ coming events in the Spring. Mixed Glee- Front Row- J.

Swing Rick Zessar and Michelle Yost rehearse their scene one last time with the script in hand. The audience cheers as the cast from “Broadway 2040“ take their final bow. The Sweet Smell Of Success Drama. With two musicals, a winter play, and a touring company all in one year, the Drama Department was kept very busy with a lot of late night rehearsals and complicated set designs. “Broadway 2040” was the first pro¬ duction to be sponsored by the Drama Department during the 1986-86 school year. This original musical was written by Tom Hogue, a substitute teacher here at the Rock, and was originally scheduled to be performed in the spring of ’85 but due to difficulties it was post¬ poned until this last fall. The musical proved to be a hit at the high school, and approving audiences were to be found every night of the play’s perfor¬ mance. The musical was based on two cou¬ ples and their past lives together in the theater. In the play, these couples are being judged for wasting their talents and scenes of their past lives are brought to the stage in a series of flash¬ backs. The winter play was a set of three one-act plays dealing with high school life and some of the problems of today’s teenagers. The play was met with much enthusiasm and interest and proved to be a successful production. Along with the major productions, Rocky’s dramatists could be found par¬ ticipating on a smaller scale also. Mrs. Gende, the Drama Club sponsor, came up with a new idea of a touring com¬ pany of actors this year. Putting in a lot of time and effort Mrs. Gende’s idea became reality, and very successful also. Touring to area grade schools was a new experience for Rocky’s actors, and the students seemed to really enjoy it too. Dedication and hard work made an¬ other great year for Rocky’s Drama Club. Due to the dedicated teamwork of Rocky’s thespian crew, and to the inno¬ vative and exciting guidance of Mrs. Gende, Drama Club was a success. 52 Drama Club Painting and building sets can be a tedious but rewarding task, as this student learns.

Competitive Spirit Public speaking, acting and interpre¬ tive reading are the three main events that Speech Team competes in. This year marks Mr. Oestreich’s third y ar as the director of the Rock Island Speech Team. The biggest joys of di¬ recting the team are “watching a couple of students who as Freshmen were not very good, but now as Juniors they are very good, and also winning the Region¬ al Tournament the first year.”, says Mr. Oestreich. “The most important factors of a speech team member”, said Mr. Oes¬ treich, “is hard work and the ability to let themselves go and show enthusiasm in whatever they do, but mainly hard work.” Next year there will be a new class called “Spoken English 11”. Half of the class is expected to be made up of Speech team members. This class will give students a chance to work on speech team ideas. Mr. Oestreich suggested that by just being aware of who the speech team members are and telling them that you yope they do well in their events will help them a great deal. So keep an eye out for those speech team members and they will take a good luck wish a long way! 54 Speech Team Kathy Cooklin and Elisabeth Rich try to stay in character. Speech Team- Front Row: C.

Hold¬ ing on to traditions, teenage club mem¬ bers gathered together at the annual Fondu party. This was only one of the many highlights of the year. Besides eating, club members also at¬ tended a great variety of science orient¬ ed meetings. One of the meetings was based on cyrogenics, presented by Cal LaFrence. Students also had the oppor¬ tunity to view Halley’s comet at the Bettendorf High School Planetarium under the guidance of Don Schaefer. This may be the only time these stu¬ dents will have experienced this in a lifetime. Maureen Coogan, Mike Scheier, Matt Denten, and Dan Rowe all dig in at the Science Club Fondu Party.

Earning a varsity letter in a sport is quite an accomplishment, and persons who achieve this receive the coveted ti¬ tle of “Lettermen”. So what do you do when you finally become a Letterman? Join Lettermen’s Club, of course! Rocky’s Lettermen were busy earning money, keeping the students enter¬ tained with various social events, and just basically doing their best to make the Rock a bright place to be. This club’s activities included sponsoring the Homecoming dance, ushering at basketball games, hosting Rock Island alumni in the Living Center at Half¬ time during basketball games, and holding the annual Casino Night. Before and after all the fun, however, there was work. Lead by Mr. Burrus Rocky’s Lettermen dedicated them¬ selves and volunteered many hours to the cause of not only making their club sponsored activities a success, but to prove that Lettermen are a big part of what makes the Rock solid. 58 Lettermen’s Club Melanie Epperly and Chris Dasso tally up the profits from the Rent A Letterman Day.

C-V T Retail stores, grocery stores, and maintenance stores were just a few of the diversified occupations in Don Resler’s Cooperative Work Training course. The course combined one half day on the job training and a half day of study in school. The goals of C.W.T. class were simple: to teach students how to get and keep a job. “The purpose is to help students en¬ ter the working world and obtain basic skills that will be required for future oc cupations.”, instructor Don Resler said. Participation and support of the C.W.T. Club was required. An employ¬ er-employee banquet was held in the spring. It brought students and bosses together in a relaxed atmosphere and let the business community know that Rock Island High School appreciates their cooperation in helping students become responsible employees.

Fast Food H.E.R.O., Home Economics Related Occupa¬ tions, is a very interesting work program for stu¬ dents who enjoy working with people. There were 26 students enrolled in Mrs. Helen Franck’s HERO class this year. Students work at fast food and full service restaurants, dietary kitchens and institutional food services. They can also work with children and in the clothing and fashion merchandising areas. No prerequisite is needed to enter this class as a junior or senior, however, courses in home eco¬ nomics are helpful and the desire to work with and help people is essential. The course of study includes the growth of Fast Foods; Franchising: Types of F(K)d Services; the Kitchen Brigade; Food Laboratory Experience and Food Sanitation. The 15 hour Food Sanita¬ tion Course was taught by Mr. Jamie Engaman of the Rock Island County Health Department. Many students received the State of Illinois De¬ partment of Public Health Sanitation Certifica¬ tion after passing the examination. Learning food service skills while in high school enables the student to continue working in the food service industry and can lead to a life¬ time career.

H.E.R.O. 61 Rocky Nurses h(‘0. Health Occupations is a program de¬ signed for students interested in health care and health careers. The course begins in the students’ ju¬ nior year where they learn all the nurs¬ ing skills necessary to take care of pa¬ tients. Under the supervision of Mrs. McLaughlin, their BNA instructor, the students undergo weekly clinical exper¬ iences where they give direct care and learn the latest techniques. At the end of their junior year they receive a certi¬ ficate which qualifies them to work in any health setting as an assistant to a professional. Students who successfully complete this course have an opportunity to ap¬ ply their skills during their senior year. These students work half days in health care facilities. Students in this coop re¬ ceive a separate grade and credit for their job in addition to the classroom grade. This program enables students to de¬ cide whether or not they are interested in a health related occupation. It also gives them some background, should they decide to enter such a field.

As any student in the program will tell you, office occupations is a challenging, but worthwhile experience. The Office Occupations course in¬ structs you in such skills as typing, word processing, filing, telephone man¬ ners, personality development for work, dictation, shorthand, attitude improve¬ ment, adding machine, transcription from the dictaphone, and general pro¬ cedures for the working world. Along with this class comes a special club - Office Education Association. This club has six officers at the local level. They are Shelly McCombs, presi¬ dent; Latonia Flowers, vice president; Noel Batterson, secretary; Virginia Dent, treasurer; Cheryl Ingram, histori¬ an; and Stacey Johnson, parliamentar¬ ian. The members of this class club participate in yearly contests.

VIP advisors, Mr. Devinney and Mr. Kline take time out from their work for a formal pose. Students at the VIP center take donated mer¬ chandise and prepare it for resale at their Thrift Store in downtown Rock Island. Alternative Education The Vocational Improvement Pro¬ gram is for Rocky students who want to earn their diploma or G.E.D., but for various reasons cannot function in the regular high school setting. VIP approaches education with a more relaxed atmosphere and three hour days. Students are required to at¬ tend every Friday when tests are given. No more than four days of school can be missed without being expelled from the program. VIP students earn college credits by taking classes at community colleges. Then most college bound students gra¬ duate with ten credits transferable to other colleges. Students at the school are not totally isolated from R.I.H.S. They can partici¬ pate in extra curricular activities such as sports. There are no electives to choose from, only the basics. Students in the VIP program can earn money by working at the Thrift Shop at the VIP school. VIP is a great opportunity for stu¬ dents to continue their education while gaining valuable experience in the work world. After a hard days work this VIP crew have big smiles about their accomplishments. William Carbis, Sharoundia Houston, Sean Trainer, Con¬ nie Griffin, Lori Kinder, Tami Reynolds and Mr. Kline enjoy the end of the day. VIP 65 Ski Club- Front Row: F. Eirinberg, H. Dunsmoor, A.

This year Rocky students have shown a renewed interest in the sport of skiing with over 70 members. The Club offi¬ cers are Bob Lundholm President, Mi¬ chelle Maiers, Vice-President, Brian Nelson, Committee Chairman and Florence McLaughlin as Club Sponsor. Club members sharpened their skiing skills at snowstar each Wednesday evening and then participated in sever¬ al trips to both Chestnut and Sundown. Several beginners have taken advan¬ tage of this opportunity and have be¬ come great skiers. Everyone looked for¬ ward to each upcoming ski event. 66 Ski Cheering for the Rocks are varsity football cheer¬ leaders Julie Vassaka, Georgina Williams, Mi¬ chelle Cottrell, Beckie Beane, Chrysta Jones and Debbie Plechaty. Sophomore football cheerleaders Julie Payton, Kym Powell, Kelly Fariman, Lena Lee, Michelle Young and Belinda Blackburn finish their cheer in perfect formation. Spirit, Action, Memories “Fight on Rock Island win this game, fight for the crimson and the gold ...” It was our school song and the trade¬ mark cheer of the Rock Island High School cheerleaders. Through thick and thin it was the job of the cheerleaders to instill spirit in both the team and the fans. Through many rainy football games the soggy pep squad boosted our spirit and gave us hope of victory. When things looked bad and every one else gave up the cheerleaders didn’t. They kept right on cheering until the buzzer signaled the end of the game. Jumping up and down and shouting in front of hundreds of people may not sound like fun to most of us but the Rocky cheerleaders enjoyed the chal¬ lenge. Sue Clark said, “When I first started cheering I was really nervous but then I got used to it and started to like it more and more.” Memories make up a big part of the cheerleading experience. After four years Debbie Plechaty has a lot of memories, “I think the most intense game I cheered at was during my junior year. It was basketball season and we were playing Quincy at Quincy. It was really a great game to cheer at. Every one was excited and yelling and cheer¬ ing, you couldn’t help but get involved in that game.” What makes them do it, cheering at every game, weekend after weekend do¬ ing the same thing? “When you are down there in front of all those people and they are cheering with you its worth all the time and energy you put into it.” That was the reply of one cheerleader. Another stated, “I love to be able to help out the team and my school and to be part of the action.” That’s what cheering and cheer¬ leaders are all about. The hard work and nervousness are offset by the memories, glory and being a part of what’s going on.

Cheerleaders 69 Rain, Rain, Go Away It rained for forty days and forty nights. Well, maybe not that long, but it seemed that way for the Rock Island football team. The Rocks had the most balanced at¬ tack in years. Senior co-captain Sean Prescott passed for 1025 years. Tailback Dwayne Brooks ran for 885 yards and Trevor Collie bulled for 419 of his own. After victories over Aurora East, Davenport West, Moline, Quincy and a forfeit win over Wheaton Central, the Rocks literally got stuck in the mud. They lost their last three, including the Homecoming game against United Township. But before the rain began to fall, Rocky played exciting football. Brooks, a 6T” senior, ran for 269 yards against Quincy to help the Rocks win a 43-37 squeaker. Brooks was named the Quad City Times Prep of the Week for his performance. At West, the Rock Island defense stopped a nail-biting Falcon threat as time ran out. Senior co-cap¬ tain Pryce Boeye earned Prep of the Week honors for his defense at West. The varsity players named Brooks Most Valuable Offensive Player and senior, Scott Meyer, Most Valuable De¬ fensive Player. The Rocks’ Most Im¬ proved player was senior Brad Schrager. Co-captains were Prescott, Boeye, Robbie Harris and Todd Sten¬ gel. Boeye, Brooks, Harris and junior Fred Oeschlaeger earned All-Confer¬ ence honors.

Juniors dominated the mats by con¬ tributing over three-fourths of the var¬ sity squad. Sophomores were next in line and surprisingly seniors were scarce. The biggest team accomplishment was placing first at the Urbana tourna¬ ment. With 12 teams competing for the title, it was sincerely an honor for all of the Rocky wrestlers knowing that each one of them was a major part of this award. With strong hopes of going to state, William Gay, Nick Warner, Dennis Ve- sey and Brian O’Melia practiced extra hard. Vesey took fifth place at state.

Wrestling 76 Earning Honors Some good things happened to the Rock Island cross-country teams in 1985. Six runners earned All-Confer¬ ence honors. The boys’ team qualified the whole team for the state meet for the second year in a row. The boys also won the conference meet for the second time in three tries. They captured the Regional champion¬ ship for the first time since 1978. The Rocks finished second and twenty-first in the sectional and state meets respec¬ tively. Individually, brothers Jose and Clemente Salazar along with Darren Kerschieter paced the harriers to a 6-1 record. Kerschieter finished first in the overall as the Rocks won the Clinton Invitational. For the season, Clemente won the overall title four times. For the girls, Chris Coolidge and sen¬ ior Kristen Kessler placed fourth and seventh on the All-Conference team re¬ spectively. The girls’ team finished with a 2-5 record. Their biggest win was a six-point win over rival Moline at Mo¬ line. The other win was a 23-point vic¬ tory against Alleman. The future looks promising for the boys’ and girls’ cross-country teams. For the girls, seven of nine runners will return in 1986. The boys frosh-soph re¬ cord was 5-2 in dual meets, and they finished in first or second place in every invitational meet.

The other co-captains were Kim Warren, Heather Bailey, Erin Purcell, Candi Hinze, and Cari Davis. The boys went undefeated, leaving the opposition in their wake. They won the Western Big Six title and the sec¬ tional crown behind the swimming of Bob Lelonek, Kevin Keiffer, Glenn Hopson, Jeff Atkinson, and Matt Keiffer. In the state competition, the Rocks finished eighth despite the disqualifica¬ tion of the 400 meter relay team. But Bob Lelonek, sporting a new body shave, emerged with a clean third place in the 50 meter freestyle and a fifth in the 100 meter freestyle event. “If you think we did well this year, wait ’til 1987,” predicted Coach Gil¬ liam.

Going Places Most teachers think that they only have to put up with their obnoxious students until 3 o’clock and then they can sit back and relax. Fortunately that is not how Mr. Sammon feels. Coach Sammon took on the task of coaching both the girls and boys tennis teams this year. This fall the girls varsity had a per¬ fect 11-0 record. Led by seniors Shellee Showalter and Debbie Campbell, the girls varsity captured the Western Big Six title as well as the sectional crown. Rocky sent six representatives to the state tournamennt. The junior varsity had an almost equally impressive sea¬ son with a 8-3 record. Sophomores Joe Fackel and Jeff Long led the boys’ varsity team to an encouraging 4-5 season. Although the numbers indicate a losing season the guys had much to show for their efforts. The number one doubles team of Long and Fackel brought in two firsts and a second at invitation tournaments while the second doubles team of Pryce Boeye and Kerry Vance helped out by snatch¬ ing first place at a Rockford meet and turning in a handful of third places throughout the spring. The boys’ junior varsity had an almost perfect 8-1 re¬ cord. The girls lost three of their varsity players this year but because of the strong junior varsity players Coach Sammon doesn’t think the team will suffer that much next season. The boys’ team is very young and didn’t have any seniors last year. “This season was structured as a building season, now that these guys have a little more exper¬ ience I expect to see a great deal of im¬ provement from them. Look for us at the top of the standings next year.” The girls’ tennis team consists of; Front row: Kathy Swan, Amy Helpenstell, Shannon Keatley, Wendy Hunter, Mara Doughty, Chris Dasso, Me¬ lanie Epperly, Shellee Showalter. Row Two: Jill Keim, Maureen Coogan, Darci Clarkquist, Polly Youngquist, Susan Blase, Chris Lundgren, Missy Epperly.

Tennis 81 Fifth In The State For the third consecutive year, Rockys Bowling team took another shot at the state title and returned with a fifth place finish. The 1985-86 season introduced West¬ ern Big Six competition to the bowling field. While United Township present¬ ed a strong team, Rocky managed to defeat them and the rest of the field to return home with the conference title. The Varsity had a strong dual season with eight wins and only two losses, which were both to Sterling. The Ju¬ nior Varsity also had a strong season with a 7-3 finish. The big win of the season took place at the Thornridge Tournament. Many of the teams that attended it were ex¬ pected to go on to state competition. Kathy Painter came in with the second highest series of the tournament. She also tied for third high game. This con¬ tributed toward the team wrapping up Front Row: Kathy Painter, Robbin Gormley. Row Two: Georgina Williams, Toni Lefler, Wen¬ dy Sutter, Karen Ziegler. Row Three: Coach Braet, Judi Stamper, Kerry Pankey, Debbie Wil¬ son, Cindy Hopson. With perfect form and a little prayer, Karen Ziegler lets the ball rip. second place. It was not always easy for Coach Braet to pick the five bowlers to com¬ pete at each meet. He had a number of winning combinations from which to choose. At the State tournament Braet went with a core group of Georgina Wil¬ liams, Karen Ziegler, Wendy Sutter and Kathy Painter, alternating the fith spot with Judi Stamper and Toni Lefler. Six hundred series was turned in by Wil¬ liams to help in the Hnal fifth place finish. Ziegler was the lone individual Rocky entry at the competition ending in twelfth place. While this year’s bowlers proved “strong as a Rock”, Coach Braet looks forward to another great season next year. He only lost two seniors, Kathy Painter and Robbin Gormley and ex¬ pects the return of the rest of his win¬ ning team. GIRLS BOWLING Sterling Alleman 1 R.I PP.

The girls finished their season with a 8-3 record and captured the title at the Museatine Invitational. The team also had the added pleasure of meeting five gymnasts from Yucatan. They were here for an exchange program in which they had the opportunity to compete with the gymnastics team and attend some of Rocky’s Spanish classes. Senior, Ann McDevitt, was the lone star Rock to advance to the State meet after placing fourth all-around at Sec¬ tionals. “We had the largest team ever with more good tumblers and I’m very proud of our girls,” stated Coach Fred Fre- drichson.

Quickness was the name of the game. The Rocks ran a speedy zone for almost the entire season. Along the way, they defeated top teams like East Saint Louis Lincoln, Romeoville, and nation¬ ally-ranked and eventual state champi¬ ons Chicago King. In fact, the Rocks were the only team to defeat the King Jaguars all season. The Rocks’ 27-3 slate tied the win record of the 1983-84 team that went to the state finals. The Rocks’ ran to a perfect 10-0 Western Big Six record; the first time any WB6 team went unde¬ feated since Quincy went to 33-0 in 1981. The Rocks brought home a lot of hardware. To open the season, Rocky won the Thanksgiving Classic. During Christmas break, they won the Pekin Holiday tournament with an amazing come-from-behind victory over East St. Louis. The Rocks also breezed through the Regional and Sectional Tourna¬ ments with blowout wins over Moline, Alleman, and Dixon, earning them a spot in the supersectionals where they lost to Peoria Manual. Senior guard Toney Hickman led the Rocks with 15.4 points per game. Bill Reid punched in 10.5 and dished out 7.2 assists. Kelan Ritchie was the other Rock in double figures with 11 points per game. Bruce Edwards controlled the boards, averaging 6.6 caroms per game. Dwayne Brooks and Adrian Rit¬ chie were not far behind with 5.0 and 4.8 rebounds per game respectively. The Rocks should do well next year also. Returning are starters Bill Reid and Kelan Ritchie and sixth man Toney Ledbetter. 86 Boys ' Basketball P A tough 1-3-1 zone like this one thwarts many a All-stater Toney Hickman pulls up from down- shot. town.

Terry Hanes and Donald Mentria averaged 11.7 and 10.7 points per game respectively. The Rocks always found a way to dig themselves a hole in the game. At Galesburg, Rocky was down 38-16 at the half. But the defense of Ray Jack- son and the offensive punch of Barnes scraped out a 63-60 overtime win. The same happened at Davenport West.

Varsity girls were led by leading scor¬ er Jacinta Gillis, senior center Lori Kir- gan, quick defensive player Missy Crow, and though she was absent part of the season due to illness, Alice Prince. The Rocks finished the season in Re¬ gional play by obtaining an upset victo¬ ry over previously unbeaten Geneseo, but suffered a 53-52 loss to Peoria Cen¬ tral, bumping them out of play, after being down by as many as 14 points. The Rocks look forward to a better season next year, as four of the five starters, will be returning, and a very talented sophomore squad moving up. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL R.I. OPP.

The boys’ team earned their third consecutive undefeated season with an 8-0 record. The Rocks won the Western Big Six meet and the Sectionals meet. At the state meet in Charleston, the Rocks finished seventh out of 303 schools, the second year in a row that the Rocks have finished high at state. The girls’ track team, dominated by underclassmen, had a very good spring. They were the winners of six out of seven dual or triangular meets and nev¬ er finished out of the top three in any invitational they competed in. At the sectional meet, the Rocks qualified eight athletes in seven events for the state meet. At the state meet, the girls did not qualify for the finals, but the experience gained was invalu¬ able and the memories will last a life¬ time.

Track 93 Rocks On The Ball Being so young didn’t bother the Rock Island Girls’ Softball Team as they finished their season with an as¬ tonishing record of 18-9. Second year head coach Frank Youngquist’s goal for the year was to be as good as the other teams by the time of regionals. The hardest game faced by the girls was against Alleman in Regional com¬ petition. They struggled through an 11 inning game and lost 6-3. One of the most valuable players on the team was Debbie Styx who was no¬ minated for All-Conference and pitched a no-hitter against Galesburg. Also nominated were Rita Burkhead and Kelly Dawson. First year varsity coach Gary Bender led the boys’ baseball team to their fourth consecutive Big 6 championship ri mm The all important move of the baseball game, the windup and pitch is illustrated here by Brian Ochs. Sue Clark makes contact with an outside pitch. this past year. Losing four close games early in the season set Rocky off on the wrong foot, but after a double header sweep against Galesburg the Rocks showed that they still had that winning spirit of past years. The team then went on to win 10 of their next 14 games which put them on the road to regionals. They defeated Moline and East Moline to win the re¬ gional championship. Two more wins in sectional play soon followed as did the sectional crown. They lost a 3 - 1 game against Springfield in their first game during state finals. The 1984-85 season was well played. Coach Bender hopes that the 1985-86 squad will follow in Rocky’s winning tradition.

There also was the addition of a Ju¬ nior Varsity to help other players to improve their skills in the sport. Their record was 2-7. Team members felt more profession¬ al and took great pride in being able to play their home games in Rocky’s stadi¬ um this year. While the crowds weren’t large they were a growing group and their loud cheering helped encourage the team to work harder.

When teachers introduced disect- ing, the smell of formaldehyde was common in all the biology classes. Of course chemistry had its odd scents. Field trips, speakers from other schools, and creatures of all sizes were some of the things that made science an educational and enjoy¬ able experience. City, township, state and federal government are all familiar terms to Rocky students. Three out of four years at the Rock must be spent in various required social studies classes. Freshmen usually sign up for State and Local Government. Once they spend a semester in this class The Applied Economics Company shared their profits to help Robert Vogelbaugh for his annual Thanksgiving dinner. Tina Hoskins, Michelle Yost, Kim Warren; Lori Gilliland, Brian Pearson and advisor Mr. Warren Power do the honors. The bulletin boards in the State and Local class offer the answers to many questions. Richie Bal¬ linger waits patiently as Angie Bowen finds the answer she needs. On an early morning geology outing Rocky stu¬ dents get to show their true Rocky spirit. Those who attended were: Mis sy Epperly, Shannon Keatley,, Melanie Epperly, Sonja Motz, Heather Bailey, Bill Voltz, Wendy Hunter, Mr. Motz, Jason Vance, Glenn Hopson, Steve Peterson, Debbie Cox, Betsy Bell and Susan Blase. 98 Science-Social Studies they should be familiar with ernment works. Sophomores take a break from social studies but have to face a full year of American History as ju¬ niors. Seniors get a double dose of crash courses in social studies before graduation. One semester is devot¬ ed to Consumer Economics so they will be prepared for making and spending money. The other semes¬ ter focuses on Federal Government in preparation for becoming a well formed intelligent voter. All the various background in so¬ cial studies gives Rocky students good preparation and a solid foun¬ dation for higher education or the world of work, spending, and re¬ sponsible decision making.

Learning The Languages Conjugation, nouns, verbs, word phrases ... those are just a few terms that English and Foreign Language classes have in common. At least one English course must be taken by every RIHS stu¬ dent, each year he or she attends Rocky. The requirement may sound burdenous, but there are so many different classes to choose from, a student may not be able to get enough of this subject. If a student has mastered the English language, he or she may wish to tackle the challenge of a foreign language. Four years of Spanish, French, or German can be taken. Rocks find it interesting to compare English to Foreign languages, and are often surprised at the amount of similarities. An¬ other aspect of the elective is the opportunity to learn about cul¬ tures of foreign countries. Hectic days in the school library leave Zelda Simpson and Mrs. Simmons no other option but to smile and take the day in stride. Teaching French to students could even be hu¬ morous when Ms. Roloff stood aside and let Heather McMillan and Herbie Ball read the as¬ signment. 100 English And Foreign Languages Spanish class wasn’t all hard work. David Sliv- ken, Jeff Pearson, Elisabeth Rich, Kim Clark, Kelly Day, Missy Crow, Lessie Nunn, Phil Sie- gert, John Allison, Rick Zessar and Charlie Wal¬ lace have a little fun with a pinata to break up the monotony of the day. After spending much time on her English assign¬ ment, Jody Pickett accepts her well earned grade from Mr. Lillis. Even the rain and a cancelled production couldn’t take the smiles off the faces of Mr. Milton’s Ad¬ vanced English class after their Shakespeare fes¬ tival was rained out. English And Foreign Languages 101 Making It All Add Up Computer Science allows Toney Hickman and Nancy Rogers a chance to view their work on the computer. Listening to a lecture given in al¬ gebra, geometry or calculus may lead one to question the principles behind the course. After all, letters of the alphabet deal with English. There were several class choices in the area of business and math. “Clickity, click”; one more num¬ ber to add on to the previous total was normal for an accounting stu¬ dents studies. Passing yet one more door, the words with an all new meaning clammored from the computer teachers lungs, “Bit, byte, chip, light.” Although the different courses enhanced us with many new pages to study and programs to learn, one realized business was a part of the eighties and a positive part of the future. Learning accounting was not always easy for Rick Conners, Janet Bragg, and Lisa Beck because their teacher, Mr. Clark, was constantly telling jokes. With a computer in front of them, Alice Aten, Erick Peterson, Anthony Yberra, in back: Tricia Vince, Kevin Hoefle, Tracy Styre and Steve Reeves could get their assignments to appear on the screen. 102 Math Computers in the library helped Carrie Steafken, Jody Pickett, Twyla Perkins and Nancy Rogers with their clerical practice homework. Michelle Farrance waits paitently for a turn at the comput¬ er. Learning to type will someday pay off for Angie Bowen, Brian Aldridge, Jodi Loomis and Leron Lee. Mr. Sammon gave individual attention to his stu¬ dents. Kelly Waller, Stan McClellan, Heidi Duns- moor, Morgan Davis, Benita Bradford and Jodi Chambers are hard at work. Business 103 Experiencing Variety Vocational Technology and Industri¬ al Arts contained a variety in general electronics, auto body, auto mechanics, welding and general woods. Combining two or three of these classes together let students experience so much more. If one had enough trust in his fellow classmates he could bring his car in to be worked on in auto mechanics, and or auto body. From there, Mr. Wymore and Mr. Plumb could explain all the details and let the students get hands on training. General woods allowed the imagina¬ tion to enter the minds of those who felt they could use their skills to create something worthwhile. Mr. Sellers spent much time in planning useful items. Learning how to measure a gauge of wire or soldering a circuit board were only segments of Mr. Young’s electron¬ ics class. Safety may have been the most im¬ portant factor in all the classes. But while in Mr. Gerber’s welding class, stu¬ dents were sure to keep the goggles on and the gloves secure. Students always get on hand experience in auto mechanics. Bruce Sedam is confident he can take care of this matter with just a wrench. Mr. Gerber’s welding class must always follow the rule, “Safety First”. Wearing goggles is the only way Jerome Johnson and Kal Branigan perform their duties. 104 Vo Tech And Industrial Art Surely James Alveriz and Mr. Wymore know what a mess this odd piece of machinery is creat¬ ing. Take a good look at those hands. Mr. Young supplies all the answers for the experi¬ ment as Marc Griffin, Mike Timm and Brian Nel¬ son memorize the pattern.

Turning the boring walls of Rocky into a display of fine art is what the art department has been striving for. Grab¬ bing a ladder and all their painting sup¬ plies, students realized the task set be¬ fore them and flaunted their work on our walls. No longer do the walls of Rocky seem gloomy. Many students in these classes have decided that careers such as illustra¬ tion, commercial art, fine art, and de¬ signing may be just what they are look¬ ing for and these classes will enable them to get a head start. Demonstrating for “The good guys”, Mr. Klatt could design some odd creatures. Putting the final touch on a project is what many students still need. Mr. White gives his personal assistance to Damon Taylor. Kevin Pahl, Doug Hood, Jeff Jackson, and Mark Bardoel wait pa¬ tiently. Members of the student body are not always doel, Tony Bonnett, Doug Hood and Sean Fla- aware of others accomplishments.

Home Ec has become a highly tech¬ nical area offering high quality, high paying jobs for those with the proper training. Courses of study in the home ec department have been concentrating on career training in such areas as Fashion Merchandising, Food Ser¬ vices, Child Care, Interior Decorat¬ ing and the construction and alter¬ ation of clothing. For those students not necessarily entering the career fields the life skills classes are also available. Classes in Beginning Foods and Sew¬ ing, Parenting, home appliance and furniture buying are all offered. The faculty in the department even teach helpful information in how to rent an apartment and handle a limited budget. Few areas of study at Rocky cover such a wide range of helpful materi¬ als. Students in both the technical and life skills areas felt equally re¬ warded for their experiences. Many also entered the H.E.R.O. work relat¬ ed class upon completing their fresh¬ men and sophomore home ec. classes. Rocky is now offering a solid foundation in all of the related areas of this field. Creativity allows Audra Potter to put the final touches on Geoff Hayes. Rita Burkhead, Dale Owens and in back Ken Rangen, Kevin Davis, and Ron Jacobs take on the different duties of making a cake. Child Care allowed Carol Grant, Stephanie En¬ gles and Rhonda Loeffler to spend their after¬ noon helping one little girl have some fun. L� H)king in a sewing bcnik is one g(M)d way to get ideas for a project. Becky Jeffery and Francine Marsh are guided by Mrs. Franck. Class discussion often meant that students would gather together and view all techniques involved. Mrs. Franck explains the steps in baking and de¬ signing a cake to Rita Burkhead, Roger Neely, Geoff Hayes, Doug Stevens, Audra Potter, Dale Owens and Kevin Davis.

Learning Healthy Habits “Okay, let’s make it work! To the right 2-3-4, to the left 2-3-4 .. ” It was the voice of Jane Fonda and it was a voice common¬ ly heard coming from the girl’s gym classes. The Jane Fonda Workout was not the only way the female population at Rocky was exposed to athletics and physical fitness. Other activities the girls participated in throughout the year ranged from golf to tennis. Boy’s gym classes were spared the daily aerobic routines but warm up runs or excercises were rarely forgotten. The boys activi¬ ties included weight lifting, swim¬ ming and many other sports. Athletics were not the only way Rocky students were made aware of their health. Before graduation each student must have completed a semester of health. In the health class emphasis was put upon each student, their body and their health. Topics covered in class ranged from a proper diet to drug abuse. The main concerns of P.E. and health departments were the stu¬ dent and their well being. These two programs promoted healthy habits that hopefully will carry through each students’ life, even after graduation. In gym class, the guys work off those extra calo¬ ries by playing a vigorous game of volleyball Volleyball anyone? Fran Zampogna serves up to start yet another grueling game.

These adap¬ tions allow the student to exper¬ ience academic, physical, social and emotional well-being. Self helping teacher Mrs. Welling spend their time rolling along. skills are necessary for functioning as an independent individual, both vocationally and reasonably. Many students who do not show evidence of being handicapped ex¬ hibit much love, respect and con¬ sideration for the PH students. They are happy to be members of the school body and loyal to the Rocky pride. The attendance of the PH stu¬ dents at Rocky alerts all of us to the fact that disabled people are people too! Wendy Behrens can always reach her goal when practicing a few soccer skills. Survival Skills 110 Handicapped Looking at movies fills many class periods in dri¬ vers education class. Mr. Youngquist shows Deb¬ bie Styx and Ruth Ramos how to run the projec¬ tor. Getting in and out of a car can be exciting, espe¬ cially if it means that you are the one driving. Robert Pickron took his turn at the wheel. The Time To enroll for one semester in the drivers education course is just the start for many anxious 15 and 16 year olds. Spending several days viewing filmstrips is one way that the course stressed the importance of driving. One of the main objectives was to realize the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol. This was shown through gory bloodshed scenes. Filmstrips were not the only way Has Come to get a feel of driving. Simulators let students practice taking the wheel and controlling their speed. These drills were activated by one machine that allowed instructors to view each person’s problems. From there they could correct their mis¬ takes. Perhaps the best part came when blue slips were handed outtmtl stu¬ dents finally approached the wheel and took to the streets. Being familiar with the mechanical parts of the this out before taking a test drive in one of the car is an important as driving. Richie Hart finds school cars. Drivers Education 111 Miami Vice or homework? Senior Todd Sebben has a major decision ahead of him. AAAAHH! Brent Powell only has two weeks to finish his research paper. They’ll gel to their homework later. Christi Moorehouse, Jenny King, Debbie F )sateri, Mi¬ chele Young, and Missy Ksparza pause for some “truly tasteless” humor. Kurt Samuelson pauses for a brief moment from typing to finish his chemistry experiment. The Last Priority At Rocky every student has his or her own unique study habit. But be it in class, study hall, or at home, everyone does basically the same thing; cram for tests that should have been studied for long ago. As freshman. Rocks set their priori¬ ties. A given amount of time each night is set aside for homework. Every min¬ ute of this time is used accordingly, and none wasted. A popular Frosh motto: “Better it be a social function missed than an English assignment.” When a year has passed and that Frosh is now a sophomore, the tight restriction of study time is slackened a bit. Homework is done in a group or over the phone, between bits of juicy gossip. Juniors waste not their precious prime time television hours, but use up time in different classes during boring, yet crucial lectures, and complete ne¬ glected assignments. It is also popular to those in 11th grade to actually use study hall time constructively, but of course only after napping, note writing, or counting ceiling tiles. By the time a Rock is a senior, the word “study” is incomprehensible. This is caused by a rare but contagious dis¬ ease, “seniorotis”, for which there is no cure. The senior may vaguely remem¬ ber what a book looks like, but can only inquire a three word phrase repeatedly for nine months: “Where’s the party?” 112 Academics Administration School board members: Front Row: Fred Peter¬ son, Jane Grahlmann, Sam Wilson, Back Row: Jack Leiby, Kenneth Boyd, David Van Landegen, Steve Clark.

After growing up together and attending the same schools through their senior year, saying good-bye was definitely going to be a task for a group of seniors preparing to take off for college. The group, composed of Pryce Boeye, Scott Schwertly, Tom Snyder and John Timmer, have known each other since kindergarten, when the four encountered their first teacher together at Hanson Elementary School. A new policy began at Hanson concerning detentions because of these four trou¬ blemakers and their snowball fights. Individual ideas about college left Tom undecided, Pryce’s luggage bound for Dartmouth, with Scott’s headed straight for Iowa State and John’s ended up at the University of Illinois. At graduation saying good-bye to a part of one’s life is difficult, but it will be especially tough for these four young men. They have grown together and shared with each other the most crucial times of their lives. They will, however, always have the memories of their experiences together to which they can never say good-bye. Senior 163 A1 FiiifHofeb And A Little More Most people think that dancing is only to be done at the prom or at one of the club sponsored dances after a big basketball game. But to senior Joanna Waddell dancing is a hobby she can enjoy all week long. Joanna decided at a very ydung age that she wanted to learn how to dance. She e nrollop in a -ballet class while in grade school and has been performing ever since. During her junior year Joanna joined a performing arts school, Studio 17l She decided that she wanted to learn how to sing and realized th at she was a natural talent. She has since been inftwo shows with her studio group. Last fall’s “Broadway 2040“ is the only Rocky play that Joanna has been in. Joanna recently got national exposure in a commercial ■The did for Hardde T- It-was very exerting, I had to audi¬ tion against a nurnber of other girls and I was so nervous!” The commercial won’t be aii d in the Quad-Cities area but she didn’t mind. “It gave me an inside look at how hard it is tjQ make a simple 3Q second..commercial.” The fifty dollars; that Harctee’s paid Her was just icing on the cake. Brigham Young will be Happy to see Joanna next fall. She alfeo is very excited about going to school there. Brighajn Young has an excellent performing arts group called the „ mbassadbrs’’ but Jpanna is not sure if she wants to continue dancing and singing. Maybe someday Joanna will put Rocky in the spotlight by starring in a hit Broadway play. Until then we j n only ■w ioh her the be str f - luc - k - arid hope sho-l ollowe -4i -otb4te talents!

Leadership qualities and academic abilities are top priorities in selecting Junior Rotar- ians. The two selected students from Rocky join students from Augustana and Alleman and attend a luncheon meeting with Quad-City area businessmen. The meetins are held every Tuesday and each month the Rotarians rotate. Students are nominated for the honor by teachers. The counselors then send the list of students back to the teachers for a vote. The top 16 students then become Junior Rotarians. Junior Rotarians for the 1985-86 school year were: Pryce Boeye, Trevor Collie, Mark Duin, Kevin Hird, Tien Hoang, Kristen Kessler, Anita Larson, Lily Lee, Chris Lundgren, Ann McDevitt, Heather McMillan, Tadd Niemann, Frank Novak, Brian O’Melia, Todd Stengel and Stacy Wahe. The Rotarians are accompanied to the first meeting by one of the counselors to introduce them and their activities to the Rotarians. After the initial introduction, the Jr. Rotarians attend the meetings by themselves and get a chance to talk to the members about their various careers. It is a chance to show the community that we have intelligent students and that we take an interest in the community affairs. The Rotary meetings consist of lunch and a brief meeting. After lunch a guest speaker visits and lectures or sometimes entertains. “My first week at Rotary a classical guitarist came in and played,” stated one Jr. Rotarian. Kristen Kessler found the whole program very interesting, “It was really nice. There were different speakers and you had the chance to learn a lot.” Junior Rotarians: Front Row: Tien Hoang, Stacy Wahe, Chris Lundgren, Ann McDevitt, Heather McMillan, Kristen Kessler, Lily Lee.

As founder of the Rock Island Bicycle Club, he also was a Junior Rotar- ian, a National Merit Scholar, a member of the Nation¬ al Honor Society, started on the varsity football team, and was a member of the homecoming court. During his free time he enjoyed reading, philosophy, camping, driving fast, jogging, skiing, hosting several large parties and, of course, bicycling in Europe. The mmer proceeding his senior year, Brian ac¬ companied his mother to Europe for a three week bicy¬ cling trip through parts of Germany and France. All in all, they cycled some 400 miles. Brian found he really liked Europe the food was good, and the wine was great. So it’s not surprising that the first chance he gets, he’s going back, however, this Ume he’s taking a friend. He says it’s just not as much fun to take advantage of all these beaches, no speeding limit, and no drinking age all by yourself. Rocky will miss Brian, his parties, and his philos¬ ophy. But he is eager to graduate and plans to attend the University of Chicago. We wish him luck in which¬ ever of his talents he decides to pursue. S a nu t f B 4-74- i«� rs Kobh Stewart Robert Stove Joseph! Strunk Andrew Strupp Seniors 178 Talented Hands Senior Matt Denton is your all around kind of guy. He is intelligent, humorous and an extremly talented artist. _Matt’s artwork can be found all over Rocky. His de¬ signs turned up as logos on two of the Rock Island High School Marching Band shirts. His cartoons were seen monthly in The Crimson Crier and were featured in the 85-86 Watch tower. Matt also won an award for designing the logo for RICAB, a pollution control orga nization. Matt got his start in art when he was in fourth grade. “Don Nelson, my fourth grade teacher, used to draw cartoonaon the papers he handed back. Whenever I got a paper back 1 would always try to copy his drawings.” Matt does all kinds of artwork but he feels cartoon¬ ing is his strongest area of art. “Cartooning isn’t work for me, it’s just something I do.” Matt plans to attend college at Northern Illinois Uni¬ versity., He would like to major in art or illustration and pursue a career in commercial art. -|-?-r Mindy Wallers T Sonja Walton Kimberly W ' f ,i rren i 1 ! 1 i netra W ' ashi igton Todd Walk 1 ns i 1 L ___ Johnny W’ells Seliutfs- Iia Sa� tl VV’hile I Clint Whitney Denise Wie erkehr LQSIN ( INDEX FRESHMAN Abbott, Joseph 41 122 Able, David 122 Adams Jesseena 45,122 Aldridge.

Represenative Adolphi Studios Bozik and Associates I would like to thank the entire staff for all the hard work they put in to make this edition of the Watchtower what it is.

We also apologize for any errors in the book, especially the spellings of names. Thank You, Stacy A. Wahe Editor-in-Chief Mr. William Armstrong is the only faculty mem¬ ber retiring at the end of this year. After many years as a social studies teacher at Rocky we wish him a happy and productive retirement. Wendy Hunter is hopeful that Jamie VanHook will give her a peck on the cheek. Could this be a certs encounter? Due to a bet on the Bears-Patriots game, Mr. McNamara had to teach in his bathrobe and slip¬ pers. It just goes to show our staff has a solid sense of humor. 192 The End
