Rock Island high school—1957 . .

product of 100 years' labor . . . raw

material for the second century's pro-

gress . . foresight, courage, hope,

and faith laid its foundation . . . the

patience, understanding, and wisdom

of the faculty formed its structure .

the thousands of young people who

passed through its halls and filed into

its classrooms mortared the bricks into

a unified whole . .

Time and progress alter much . . .

an unpretentious single room in the

former Kimble elementary school has

been transformed into the 53 modern

classrooms familiar to us today . . .

the original budget of $36,990 for the

city’s entire school system has been

obscured by this year's high school

budget of $2,775,000 ... the initial

enrollment of 42 in 1857 has mush-

roomed into today's elbow-rubbing

high school population of 1,541 . the

18 teachers employed originally in all

Rock Island public schools have ex-

panded into the present high school

faculty of 61 . . .

Flexibility has enabled the school

to fulfill individual needs . . . facilities

were made available for deaf students

in 1901 . . . in 1916 a school nurse

and a dentist were added to the staff

. . . blind students were accommodated

in 1929 . . a special education class

was started in 1954 . . .

Past accomplishments have nurtured

new dreams—dreams of growth and

expansion which are now becoming

realities ... we must maintain the

solidity of the original structure as we

fulfill new aspirations ... in this sec-

ond century of progress, foresight,

courage, hope, and faith remain eter-

nal foundations on which to build . . .

The pastel-tinted campus, the warmth of

spring, and the fragrance of blossoming

trees entice aesthetic students into the fresh-

ness of the outdoors.

A dream, closer now to becoming a reality, is pictured by this aerial view showing an architect's drawing of the proposed

new wing and gymnasium.

Under a coverlet of white blan-

of heavy-laden branches bending

toward the earth and the crunch

of fresh snow underfoot.

Rousing orgon music announces the beginning

French jazz enthusiast, Francois Deschenes, polishes his trumpet, tarnished by the sea voyage, while he and Tom Whit-

6 introduction

Climb out before sunrise, throw on clothes, gulp down breakfast, speed to school,

race across campus, muscle into the line outside the office by 6:20—all to beat

the onslaught of students eager to gel a ticket to the Regional championship game.

1957 Events: Francois, Tourney Tickets, Building Plans

The strains of familiar Christmas songs crescendo with the rhythmic approach of glee club members

as they carol through the halls in traditional observance of the season.

To develop perfect archery form by after-school instruction,

Marcia Hance enlists the

aid of Mrs. Pierce, who probably recommends lowering that right elbow,

School Not Just Book Learning

The divergent requisitions of Rocky High pass through

the receiving room where everything from boxes of

canned soup Io new desks is delivered. Mr. Austin,

trailed by reporter Dennis Sears on a Crier assign-

ment, checks the arrival of a group of chinchillas for

laboratory study.

8 introduction

Shuffling feet, o solid beat, a smile that's sweet, add up to a successful Friday dancing lesson in the gym.

No longer does the word school

bring to mind grim thoughts of stick-

wielding schoolmasters, hard, back-

less benches, pot-bellied stoves, and

the dry, ponderous books of the old

one-room schoolhouse. Today, pleas-

ant, fully-prepared instructors, comfor-

table desks, cheery classrooms, and

new, progressive courses form the mo-

dern school.

The complex, exacting world of 1957

demands well-trained, competent citi-

zens; a demand met by the various

vocational shops, many secretarial

training courses, DO, DE, and home

economics classes, which provide prac-

tical experience.

introduction 9

Well-rounded personalities, alert

minds, and healthy bodies are also

cultivated in classes such as art,

dancing, organ, journalism, and

physical education. Rock Island

high school, planned to equip

young men and women with the

knowledge and ability to lead suc-

cessful lives, accomplishes this

ideal through a comprehensive, in-

telligent curriculum.

From Shubert's waltzes and Sousa's marches

to the Mickey Mouse Mambo, William Koeller

displays his versatility as a student organist.

Befween-doss-dashers sometimes resort to sandpa-

per and burglar tools Io manipulate uncooperative

locks, but Judith Allen's private storeroom does

not seem to need such persuasions.

To these halls come eager teens,

filled with anticipation yet pricked with

doubts. Easily adaptable, the new-

comers quickly fit into the bustling

scene and established routine like sea-

soned upperclassmen. They soon ex-

plore the half-hidden crannies and map

out routes from classes. They memor-

ize every teacher's name and recog-

nize new classmates.

They acquaint themselves with

Rocky facilities: silent library, confining

detention hall, hustling cafeteria, and

awesome excuse and deans' office;

they become familiar with established

customs: sophomore quarantine from

front stairs, mass of red letter sweaters

on Fridays, and dread of report cards

every six weeks.

10 introduction

Weeks of planning murals and fashioning foil decorations ond mobiles culminate in Robert Huneke's placing a tinsel

star atop the Christmas tree. Joan Soelzer and Francois Deschenes assist in this art department project.

introduction 1 1

Frequent excursions into the library remain an unforgolten part of busy high school days. Joel Novak and Judith

Schmitt make use of the extensive facilities and reading material.

Teens Mature with New Friends, Studies, Ideas, Plans

Lockers oct not only as storerooms but as leaning posts for

many Rocky High couples like Wayne Shellhouse and Janet

Schuster when they snatch a brief rendezvous between

classes.

Soon, these book-toters leave be-

hind their junior high hesitation and

adolescence. They express their own

ideas and beliefs in club meetings,

classroom themes and recitations, and

the mock political rally. Shyness fades,

and new acquaintances become close

friends.

All too swiftly they are seniors. This

final year is a rush of preparing and

planning. Mailboxes overflow with col-

lege catalogues and applications;

scholarship tests challenge their know-

ledge; class ranks and percentages fill

their minds; and College Day repre-

sentatives remind them of the near-

ness of a new chapter in their lives.

From adolescent teen-agers to adult-

minded young people, RIHS guides

students through the maturing years,

the high school years.

Loyal Democrats exhibit husky voices and artistic talent as well as support of Adlai and Estes in a rousing demonstration

during the 1957 mock political rally.

introduction 15

The patience, understanding, and

wisdom oi the faculty form the struc-

ture of Rock Island high school . .

Seven hours a day, a teacher meets

and challenges a classroom of youth-

ful minds, realizing that to some she

is thought of only as the all-seeing eye

that detects a hastily-passed note . . .

the superhuman ear that catches and

traces a muffled whisper . . the light-

ning-like voice that strikes out and de-

mands an immediate recitation from

an unsuspecting victim . . . the un-

merciful hand that slashes a composi-

tion with red and seals its fate with

a grade . . .

Yet all this is balanced and made

worthwhile when a teacher reads a

discerning composition, hears a well-

reasoned answer, and sees the birth

oi a new thought, the dawn of a new

understanding . . . this truly is the

reward of teaching.

Rustling papers, subdued coughs, and

shuffling feel are the only sounds that

mar silent study in the library, focal

point for all academic work.

Social, Athletic Activity Revolves About Classroom Life

Amid broken test tubes, distinctive

chemistry odors, leaf re p o r t s , and

dropped weights in physics class, Roc-

ky's amateur scientists work on pro-

jects, experiments, and research stud-

ies to develop individual scientific

thinking. These various activities are

included in the three main fields of

the science department; biology, the

study of life; chemistry, the study of

elements and their chemical behavior;

and physics, the study of forces and

energy.

Combining artistic ability and biological study,

Linda Johnson proves the need of light in the

growth of plants.

Hoping for a successful chemistry experiment,

Janet Rudasill assists Jane Bahnsen in setting

up a burette for a titration fest.

"Hie, haec, hoc"—recite the Latin

classes as they learn declensions,

translate Roman myths or Caesar's

Commentaries.

Spanish and French students strug-

gle through conversations in these

tongues and find that slight mispro-

nunciations can result in amusing

statements. To add variety to textbook

work, language teachers lead Christ-

mas carols in Spanish and French and

sometimes show colored slides of the

foreign lands.

With the world "shrinking," due to

improved transportation methods, mas-

tering a foreign language becomes

more important. It helps to create a

better understanding among peoples

throughout the vzorld.

"Thank you, madam, come again”

is the watchword for many Diversified

Occupations and Distributive Educa-

tion students as they prepare for future

jobs and careers. In DE, organized in

1952, selling techniques, including

salesmanship, display, grooming, and

personality, are studied and put into

practice in the third floor "lab.”

In DO, originated in 1951, each mem-

ber studies a topic helpful to him on

his particular job—typesetting by the

printing apprentice or hair styling by a

future beauty operator.

Accuracy is the goal of Richard Geisler and

Constance Arndt, sophomores, as they correct

their themes with the aid of dictionaries.

By reporting on a book he has read, David

Sorensen hopes to encourage other sopho-

more English students to read more widely.

Commas, apostrophes, nouns, and

direct objects appear in unsuspected

places as English students discover.

Knowing these mechanics is vital to

speaking in correct grammatical form

and is developed through oral recita-

tions and reports.

The typical student can probably

recite Antony's funeral speech, re-

count fully Silas Marner's life, or de-

scribe the literary characteristics of

the Romantic Age. This familiarity

comes from constructive reading.

Pencil-pushing students are also

aware of the value of writing; and

themes, book reports, essay tests, and

term papers remain unforgotten parts

of English-conscious high school days.

Interest in the social studies phase

of high school curriculum has been

boosted this year by the mock political

convention, field trips, lecturers, and

subscriptions to weekly news maga-

zines.

The department's chief aim is to

show how man lives in society through

the study of history, man's past soci-

ety; government, how the present so-

ciety is governed; economics, how to

earn a living in the future; and geo-

graphy, the world in which society

ations are carried on in the shorthand,

accounting, personal records, clerical

practice, secretarial training, and com-

mercial arithmetic and law classes.

The effective teaching of instructors

As it is actually no longer a luxury

to drive but a necessity, the driver

training teachers strive to teach under-

toward other drivers.

No student at Rock Island high

school completes a school year with

his life untouched by one of the deans.

Many students remember the deans

as helping hands when their economic,

social, or scholastic problems are too

great to bear alone. A few think of

them as restricting hands that occa-

sionally propel wayward students- to

awaiting desks in detention hall. As

guiding hands, the deans offer advice

in choosing the curriculum which will

fulfill individual needs and interests.

To the seniors, they are the hands of

the future as they aid the prospective

graduates in selecting a college or

career.

vocation and further schooling.

"As the legislature is to the state,

the Rock Island Board of Education is

to the school," explained Earl H. Han-

sori, serving his 20th year as superin-

tendent of schools.

An important step taken by the

board in the 1956-57 year was the

beginning of the $180,000 school addi-

tion, which it is hoped will be finished

a year from next fall. Also, the school

area was doubled by annexing Milan,

Doxee, Ginger Hill, and Ridgewood,

thus adding 1,000 students to the dis-

trict.

Even before he sounds the chimes

at 8:40, indicating that "another day

is underway," Charles O. Austin, Jr. is

busy oiling the machinery that keeps

the high school running smoothly. Ad-

ministering to the needs of Rocky's

1,500 students and faculty, Principal

Austin is always on the job.

During his six years at this school,

he has shown special interest in all

phases of Rocky's program and can

often be found in the cafeteria helping

administer a scholarship exam or on

the phone trying to locate extra stu-

dent tickets for a key game.

Supervising and organizing, encour-

Studying final plans for the new addition with Superintendent of Schools, Earl H. Honson, are members of the Board of Ed-

ucation: (standing) Virgil R. Helms, secretary, Lloyd Larson, Theodore Arnold, and William C. Bell; (seated) Earl Hanson,

Junius P. Califf, and C. W. Motz.

Gone are the elementary years of

hourly music and voice lessons under

a watchful parental eye, of reciting

and re-reciting dramatic readings for

patient, head-patting relatives, of wist-

fully peering out the window at play-

mates enjoying the outdoors . . . gone

are the junior high years of personality

development in health classes where

the average teen learned to be a smi-

ler, a leader; of introductions io a

higher culture in art and literary ap-

preciation . . .

Steeped in this background and

training, many view high school as a

time to explore inborn talents, to ex-

pand practiced abilities, to express

new emotions . . . pent-up feelings and

thoughts find release in the music of

band, orchestra, and chorus; the por-

trayals of speech, plays, and radio;

the ideas of Crimson Crier, Watch-

tower, debate, and Senate; the per-

sonalities of Homecoming . . .

Each of these activities provides op-

portunities for contributing, chances for

creating . . opportunities met and

fulfilled by those who want to give

of themselves . . .

The glamour of the stage, enhanced by

footlights, props, scenery, and make-up, fades

rehearse lines and prepare for their en-

trances.

Watchtower: Endless Struggle of Layouts, Photos, Writing;

Although one picture is said to be worth 10,000 words, a

picture means jangled nerves, tired feet, and endless plan-

ning to photography editor Judith Katz, and assistants Dennis

Sears and Elizabeth Califf.

What is a year book? It is the thrill

of creating, a sudden inspiration, an

endless search for perfection. It is the

drudgery of daily piecework, discour-

aging frustrations, hard-reached com-

promises. It is born out of a closely-

knit group, suggesting, arguing, coop-

erating to make a unified whole.

Innovation, experimentation, and re-

organization have been the keywords

of the 1956-57 Watchtower. There has

been the shift to a new printing com-

pany and an offset book. Emphasis

has been placed on a previously neg-

lected part of school life, the classroom.

Special research has been made to

depict Rocky's 100 years of progress.

Even the staff has undergone change

with the addition of four senior assis-

tants.

D©gg@d Search for Perfection; Deserved Sense of Pride

Sports editor, Ronald Janecke, leads his crew of Raymond Metzger, Sam Wilson, and David Collins in a search for striking layouts

and graphic pictures.

Part of the fun of entering contests is in recounting

"hair-raising” experiences. Tom Whitmore, comedy

play reader, and Judith Katz, serious play entry,

lend attentive ears to John Seward's tall tale

about the one who almost won over him in

oratorical declamation.

The long, preparatory months of

writing, reworking, memorizing, and

repeating readings led to the initial

round in the State Speech contest,

the Regional meet at East Moline. Rock

Island High won the sweepstakes, and

all contestants advanced to the Sec-

tional at Pekin.

Despite stiffer competition in this

round, RI entrants ranked high. Judith

Katz and Tom Whitmore won first

place in their fields of serious and

comedy play readings, and Michael

Neff placed second in original oration

qualifying them for the state finals

at Champaign. Third place honors

were awarded to John Seward in ora-

torical declamation, Sally Ingold in

original monologue, and the play cut-

ting "Death Takes a Holiday "

Speakers, Play Cop First in Regional; Second, Sectional;

"He is—his Majesty, Death, amusing himself on a holiday.” A gripping climax in the Speech contest play, "Death Takes

a Holiday,” is reached when John Seward, center, reveals to son, Richard Gralak, and houseguests, Sally Ingold and

Judith Allen, the fatal identity of the mysterious stranger in their midst.

46 speech II play

An enthusiastic audience offered

their hands—in greeting and applause

—to "Charley's Aunt" when she visi-

ted Rocky High playgoers fan. 17, 1957.

Presented by the Speech II students,

this was, 'for many juniors, their ini-

tial taste of the stage.

During rehearsal, the cast quickly

learned to sandwich homework in be-

tween cues and to get along with co-

workers through dragging hours of

practicing together. Lines were memor-

ized, movements learned, and expres-

sions mastered until performance

night.

Before curtain time, all they had

learned disappeared; minds went

blank. There were panic and confu-

sion backstage. Then the curtain rose,

and all the efforts of the past weeks

were realized as the characters came

alive and the play moved on.

At curtain call, the applause and

laughter of the audience rewarded the

cast, and they knew they had made

the visit of "Charley's Aunt" an en-

joyable and amusing one.

"I soyl let Charley have a go al it.” Fan-

court Babberly (Donald Hoepner) looks on

warily as Charley (David Collins) and Jack

(Lawrence Bennett) prepare him for his im-

personation of Charley's aunt from Brazil

Greasepaint, Costumes, New Personalities in Class Plays

“Calling all aspiring actors and ac-

tresses—if you are interested in ap-

pearing in an ’oscar-winning’ produc-

tion and have acting ability, please

report to try-outs " Many “Broadway-

bound" students responded to this ap-

peal and received parts in one of the

class plays.

Secrets hidden in a doctor's private

files were revealed by the junior cast,

March 26, when they disclosed "Dr.

Hudson's Secret Journal." Spiritually

significant, it showed a hard-headed

business man converted into a sincere

philanthropist through the acts of Dr.

Hudson and hospital acquaintances.

The senior class play, "Dark Vic-

tory," presented May 3, portrayed the

drama of a rich, young debutante who

discovered, after a severe fall, she had

a brain injury and would become

blind and die in a few months.

Through the inspiring love of her phy-

sician, she found the courage to ac-

cept fate and live her remaining life

to the utmost.

In the beginning ceremoniec of the Homecoming weekend Thomas Tingle, Senate president, places the coveted crown

on Judith K. Nelson.

Suspense Ends as Coronation Inaugurates Homecoming

The processional music swelled from

the organ, the auditorium was hushed

with tense anticipation, the curtains

opened on the colorful throne. Rocky

waited for the announcement of the

1956 Homecoming royalty.

The curtains fluttered, and atten-

dants Elizabeth McKnight and Sandra

Schmacht stepped to their honored

positions at the throne steps. A mo-

ment passed, then the entire audience

rose as one in honor of the queen,

Judith K. Nelson, vzho ascended her

throne.

Receiving the coveted crown, Queen

Judith then gave the royal command

that brought victory to the team and

made Homecoming, 1956, an even

greater celebration.

Elizabeth McKnight and Sandra Schmacht were

elected by student vote to attend the queen.

An avalanche of orders for boxes

of crepe paper, kleenex, napkins, toilet

paper, and yards of chicken wire be-

fell merchants as high school shoppers

purchased the essentials or scoured

lumber yards for boards needed to

construct floats.

The drudging hours of work dragged

long into the night to the accompani-

ment of rasping saws cutting props,

rapping hammers joining skeletal fig-

ures, swishing paper being stuffed into

countless holes by numb fingers, and

weary humming of endless conversa-

tion.

Parade time arrived; the work was

completed, the hours of tiresome labor

were past, and the satisfying feeling of

pride lay ahead. Gusty winds snatched

at loose papers as the parade wound

through downtown streets, and then

the prize winners were announced.

The many fun-filled hours and the

great sense of accomplishment will be

long remembered by all who partici-

pated in this first Homecoming parade

in almost 20 years.

Representing Rocky's vocal depart-

ment are three outstanding groups.

The names Naturalaires and Teentun-

ers are familiar to all students at high

school as two "noteworthy" quartets.

Which have been singing two years.

However, this is the initial year for

the members of the girls' trio.

One group which has acquired lo-

cally a lot of fame—and some fortune,

too—is the Naturalaires. The boys

have entertained audiences at the

Plantation, the Tower, and the Black-

hawk and LeClaire hotels. Appearing

in several Barbershop contests, the

Teentuners have also sung at many

churches in the Quad-Cities. The girls'

trio performed at the Jewish Center,

the County Boys' home, and Namequa

Lodge.

Both quartets matched talents with

the Hilltoppers when they appeared on

their special presentation last fall. At

exchange assemblies with other

schools, all three groups represented

Rock Island high school.

The Naturalaires, who have become increasingly popular in their

three years at Rocky, strike a chord in a pre-asscmbly re-

hearsal. Behind, lead Donald Payton are Charles Hardin, Ronald

Noble, and Charles Rubovits.

To attack the farm problem and make 1957 a successful debate season, squad members Paul Rohlfing, Arvin Tunick, David

O'Melia, and John Califf use reference bulletins, index cards, sound reasoning, and influential tactics in speaking.

Debaters Scour Books, Speech Rules To Present Cases

To learn more about the farm pro-

blem, Rock Island high school deba-

ters plow, not through fields of hay,

but through stacks of books. They are

trying to find a solution to today's

farm conflict and to determine whether

90 per cent of parity should be granted

to all major agricultural products.

During class time and after school,

debaters feud over the proper way to

handle the issue. Walking past room

308 after school, one might think a

major battle is underway because of

all the commotion, but it's really just

debate practice.

Constant drilling, along with deter-

mination and hard study under the

direction of P. J. Martin, prepare de-

baters for tournaments. Here teams

from several schools contest, each up-

holding its own plans and solutions

to Ezra Benson's headache.

During a practice session, sophomore debaters Phillip Nies

and Bruce Levin brush up on the farm problem and develop

the skills of public speaking.

faint-hearted people shrink away. Such

ning, overcome "mike-itis."

Under supervision of P. I. Martin,

the club performs on local television

and radio programs and uses its earn-

ings to purchase such equipment as

microphones and recorders.

The clatter and confusion issuing

from room 217 is not a blot on school

discipline, but it is a necessary factor

in getting the proverbial presses "roll-

ing." During first and second periods,

the re-enacting of all the scurrying,

shuffling, and shouting involved in put-

ting together a city newspaper can be

observed. It is on a smaller scale, of

course, except for the headaches, as

staff members would point out.

As publication day draws near, a

definite pattern emerges from the gen-

eral hubbub, and 217 becomes a com-

Before becoming members of the

staff, students must complete the jour-

nalism A course. Juniors who have

been recommended by their sopho-

more English teacher and who wish to

take the course are divided alphabeti-

cally into two classes. The first group

begins journalism the first semester

and works on the paper the second

semester, while the second group be-

gins journalism the second semester

and becomes the Crimson Crier staff

the first semester of the following

school year.

Despite the hard work, Crier repor-

ters are devoted to their jobs and feel

especially rewarded when they see

their first story in print. And who

wouldn't enjoy interviewing Guy Mit-

chell or the Hilltoppers, as some lucky

reporters did?

To the relief of many, mid-term

sectional try-outs for ranking of play-

the decreased size of the band. How-

ever, additional events were carried

out; the fall concert held Dec. 6, the

principal Charles O. Austin, acts as a

"Workhorses" of the Senate were

the various functioning committees

which carried on particular duties.

Annual project was the purchase

of hall pictures selected by a group

of Senate's amateur art critics. Fur-

cheerleaders, and selling Homecoming

buttons were other Senate responsibil-

ities.

Straight Wins After Absorbing Four Early Season Losses

Coming from a disastrous start, Rock

Island's gridiron team rolled to five

straight victories during the last half

of its season to finish with a 5-4 record.

The tide began to turn in the Home-

coming game with St. Joseph's of

South Bend, Ind., when the Islanders

scored their first victory of the season

by a convincing 28-7 score.

Homecoming victors one week, the

Rocks became Homecoming spoilers

the next. Invading Browning Field in

Moline, the Islanders came out with

a 20-7 win. Following up this triumph

with a 29-6 beating of Joliet Catholic,

Coach H. V. "Shorty'' Almquist's forces

put on one of their best performances

of the campaign.

East Moline, one of the Islanders'

"cousins" during past years, became

the equalizer for the Rocks' season.

Winning by a comfortable 39-6 score,

the Rocks had their biggest half of the

season, scoring 33 points in the first

two quarters.

Everyone got into the act as the

St. Ambrose Academy Knights became

victim number five. Rock Island's 47-12

win in the final ended the season on

a victory note and allowed the Island-

ers to finish above the .500 mark for

the sixth successive year.

Rock Island Cagers Roll to Impressive 25-3 Record;

A lightning-like fast break, tremen-

dous shooting, outstanding height, and

a well-balanced scoring attack helped

Rock Island's basketball squad post

the second best record in the school's

history.

Tying a Rock Island record for wins

in a season, the Rocks compiled a

25-3 mark for the campaign. By win-

ning 21 of 23 during the regular sea-

son, the Islanders swept the Northwest

and Quad-City conference champion-

ships with unbeaten records. Coach

Bob Riley, in his first year as varsity

coach, led his Rocks onto the Regional

title and into the finals of the Sectional

tourney.

The Rocks, averaging nearly 70

points per game, bowed out of tour-

nament play in the Sectional final

when Galesburg's Silver Streaks used

a control game for a 23-21 victory. The

Islanders, twice-conquerors of the

Streaks, went through the entire first

period without a point, led at halftime

10-8, at the end of the third quarter

by 17-14, then lost in' the last four

seconds of the final stanza.

During the successful year, the

Rocks built three long winning skeins.

Starting with seven straight wins, the

Rocks first fell to Bloom of Chicago

Heights. Getting back on the victory

trail against twice-defending state

champion West Rockford, Rock Island

scored ten verdicts in succession be-

fore city-rival Alleman handed the Is-

landers their only other regular season

loss.

Capture Northwest, Quad-City, Regional Championships

Eight more triumphs, four in tour-

nament action before the Galesburg

setback, gave the Rock Island crew its

third winning streak of the season.

Flooring a starting five that aver-

aged 6 ft. 3 in., the Rocks used their

height to dominate the boards and

setup their effective fast break. The

long-legged Rocks, with exceptionally

good speed for a tall quintet, com-

bined the rebounding and speed to

execute the offensive weapon.

Highly-rated throughout the season,

the Islanders lived up to their lofty

ranking by whipping such potent op-

ponents as Alleman, Galesburg, and

Clinton each twice, and West Rockford,

once.

Junior center Don Nelson, improving

as the year progressed, led the team

in scoring with 354 points. Larry Dun-

lap, whose clutch shooting helped the

Rocks down Moline and Alleman in

the tournament, finished second in

points with 328 and was the Quad-

Cities' top field goal shooter, percen-

tage-wise. Wayne Shellhouse and Jim

Flowers each had 327 points with the

fifth starter, junior Joe Novak, working

as the playmaking guard.

A good bench was instrumental in

the Rock Island victories. Sixth man,

Jim Draper, a 6 ft. 4 in. senior, topped

the reserves and hit for over 200 points,

fifth high on the club. Jeff Conn, Bud

McRoberts, Bill Bisby, and Don Derk-

sen completed the top ten Rock Island

eagers.

The boys' tennis team, coached by

Nicholas Peschang, ended the fall sea-

son with a first place win in the Quad-

City tournament. The Islander team

copped two of four single matches and

three out of four doubles.

In dual matches, the boys lost only

to Moline. Impressive wins over Da-

venport, 8-1, and East Moline, 7-2,

highlighted the season. Their record of

five wins and one loss earned a tie

with the Maroons for the Quad-City

conference championship.

Marie Greve Leads Girls' Tennis Team in Spring Matches

Although suffering from the loss of

the top six players from last year's

powerhouse team, Rock Island's girls'

tennis squad managed to win two of

seven dual meets during the fall sea-

son.

Carol Pruessing, Judy Katz, Sharyl

O'Melia, Shirley Moeller, Diane Wan-

gelin, and Karen Fluegel were the out-

standing members of this year's crew.

The doubles team of O'Melia and

Fluegel managed to make the quarter

finals of the Quad-City tournament

before bowing. Pruessing reached the

quarter-finals in singles.

Coach Nicholas Peschang led the

girls for the last time as Marie Greve

has been named to take over spring

coaching duties. Peschang will now be

able to devote more time to the boys'

tennis team.

Since playing tennis in snowshoes is a difficult skill, team

Hospital School of Nursing, who ac-

quainted FNA-ers with all phases of

nursing.

Spring activities included a Quad-

volleyball, ping pong, shuffleboard,

baseball, and badminton.

But sports weren't all GAA offered;

members donned roller skates,

searched for the unusual for scavenger

hunts, and attended an old-fashioned

box social at monthly meetings. At the

main club affair, the annual slumber

party held during the Christmas holi-

days, many blurry-eyed R o c k e 11 e s

danced and played the night through,

stumbled home to bed the next morn-

ing, and after a day's sleep, bragged

about their endurance.

Girls turned into carpenters, artists,

and constructionists for another club

project, decorating the gym for the

Homecoming dance. With all these ac-

tivities, it is not surprising that GAA

boasted the largest membership of any

school ’organization.

To train promoters for bathing beau-

members tried their hands at this en-

joyable task as part of their club ac-

tivities. From the ’'bull" sessions at the

YMCA organized just for conversation

and cut-ups, this all-male club planned

its 1957 schedule of events.

Mimicking the detective skills of

Sherlock Holmes, the boys searched

Rocky's female ranks and followed all

clues leading to any luscious ladies.

They perched their feminine finds atop

Hi-Y was not always concentrated

on just fun; it also played its part in

citizen-building programs. Last fall,

Tom Whitmore and Francois Deschen-

es, Robert McDonald, Donald Brown,

Spain—land of lovely senoritas in

afternoon siestas, and, most of all, pas-

sionate Latin romance. No doubt these

fascinating thoughts induced many

students to join Pan American League.

However, after belonging to this

kos and Miss Malvina Caloine, mem-

bers realized there was more to be

discovered about Spain and Mexico

than just what travel posters offered.

tures of Latin countries They even cel-

support.

Sitting in their reserved section and

sporting their "regulation uniforms" of

perky beanies and white blouses,

these girls added sparkle as well as

noise to the game. From their dainty

throats came thunderous, "rafter-rat-

tling" shouts and cheers. This vocal

force challenged rival spectators and

often led not just to athletic contests

but to cheering contests too.

Originality in the club ranks resul-

ted in two new pep songs, a unique

chant called “Satisfied," and flash card

displays, all of which made Rocky

games more exciting and colorful.

science at Augustana college, and a

meeting, and the anxious moments as

female "Dogpatchers" ushered their

catches to the Sadie Hawkins dance

will go down as Y-Teen history for

1957.

These Y-Teen-agers enjoyed the fel-

lowship of club meetings like the Big

Sister—Little Sister party, a splash par-

ty, a lesson in charm, gift wrapping

instructions, a style show, and the Sen-

ior Farewell.

It’s not all play for these civic

minded misses. This year they spon-

sored the annual Lenten services, went

Christmas caroling, and sent the clo-

thing gathered at the Strip Tea to Na-

mequa Lodge for girls.

High School, Career, College Goals Challenge Students

136 classes

The thousands of young people who

have passed through the halls and

filed into the classrooms of Rock Is-

land high school have mortared its

bricks into a unified whole . . .

bitions and purposes . . motivated by

the glory and renown to be won on

the athletic held . . stimulated by

the desire to display the latest fads

and fashions . . . coerced into the

classroom by persistent parents . .

attracted by fun and social life school

tangible need tor knowledge, a com-

pelling desire tor education . . .

Year alter year, the students come,

each a separate and distinct individ-

ual, with ditterent backgrounds, per-

sonalities, abilities, and hopes . . here

they meet and are blended into a uni-

fied student body.

In anticipation of the day they

will receive that long-awaited parch-

ment, senior class officers: Thomas

Tingle, president; Carol Grems, sec-

retary; and Dennis Sears, vice-pres-

ident, don graduation gowns.

Seniors Cast Backward Glance, Concentrate on Future

Inaugurated by the traditional

Homecoming dance at which three

seniors reigned, and culminated by

the junior - senior prom and long-

awaited graduation ceremonies, the

year was filled with a variety of ac-

complishments and activities for the

senior class.

Always on top scholastically, four

Rocky seniors received special men-

tion on the Merit Scholarship exam,

and many were rewarded for their

arduous three years' work and fine

scholastic record by membership in

the National Honor Society.

Led on to victory by spirited cheer-

leaders and enthusiastic upperclass-

men, the varsity teams tallied up a

successful year. Pep-wise, the senior

class was well-represented by three of

the varsity cheerleaders, Lynne Urie,

Susan Biehl, and Lois Leinenwever,

who urged their "downfront" class-

mates to win almost all cheering con-

tests.

As stars of dramatic, speech, and

senior class plays, seniors proved

themselves to be talented actors,

stagehands, and directors. Playing in

band and orchestra and vocalizing in

glee clubs, the graduating students

were in the limelight musically.

Seniors also starred in designing

art displays and winning poster con-

tests, participating in debate, and be-

coming adept businessmen in Junior

Achievement.

Many Rocky names made news this

year, and to record the high school

story were senior journalists on The

Crimson Crier, Watchtower, and local

newspapers.

Their high school careers completed,

seniors now go on to a future job in

college or business equipped with the

knowledge and experience of the past

three years.

DAR Honors Outstanding Boy, Girl; Rotarians Host 18

RIHS Junior Rotarians and DAR

winners introduced fellow students to

a new concept of the far-reaching ac-

tivities of city organizations.

Chosen by the faculty on the basis

of character and participation in school

events, two senior boys attended

monthly Rotary dinner meetings. This

Rotarian program promoted teen-age

interest in community affairs and

helped teach Rock Island's future lead-

ers the responsibilities of civic duty.

Peak of achievement, the DAR

award presented each year by the

Fort Armstrong chapter of the Daugh-

ters of the American Revolution was

one of the highest honors seniors re-

ceived. Selected by a senior and fac-

ulty election, Judith Katz earned the

girls' award. Jeffrey Conn won the

DAR award for boys in an election

by the school administration. Both

winners were chosen because of their

past records of leadership, scholarship,

and service.

154 junior rotarians and dar winners

Because they exemplify outstanding traits of scho-

larship, leadership, and citizenship, Jeffrey Conn

and Judith Katz received the DAR awards.

dreams of Judith Katz and

their honored positions as

A few months ago the meaningless

figures accumulated on student record

cards became suddenly significant. It

was that time of year when seven

semesters' efforts were tabulated, and

upperclassmen were ranked according

to the results.

For those who maintained consistent

A's, there were the coveted honors of

valedictorian, salutatorian, and Top

Ten members Rocky's feminine minds

proved too sharp for the boys, because

for the first time in the administration's

memory, all these positions were filled

by girls.

Also, 72 scholars were rewarded for

their 92 or above averages by auto-

matically achieving membership in the

National Honor Society. Seven were

elected by the other eligible seniors

possessing at least an 88 average. The

voting, based on leadership, service,

and character, made the final enroll-

ment 56 girls and 23 boys.

Juniors: Old for Sophomore Antics,

Young for Senior Airs, Sophistication

The junior year . . . the impatient

year . . . students old enough to cast

an occasional scornful eye at the un-

derclassmen but too young to share

in the expectations of graduation.

Their year was not without notable

results. Their participation in club ac-

tivities as officers and energetic mem-

bers made them vital cogs in each

organization.

Their enthusiasm was felt as they

backed football stars William Bisby

and Booker Edgerson and cage stand-

outs Donald Nelson and Joel Novak.

Their talents were proved in the

productions of “Charley's Aunt" and

"Dr. Hudson's Secret Journal," by Lin-

da Geifman's placing third in the "I

Speak for Democracy" contest and by

Janet Schuster's winning first prize in

a state art contest.

An impatient year (?)... maybe,

but more accurately ... a happy

year.

Filled with Enthusiasm, Sophomores

Rush into Whirl of Rocky High Life

To acquire that familiar feeling, to

master an obstinate locker, to gradu-

ate from the back stairs, to affect the

air of an upperclassman, or to find a

gal or a beau may have been the

individual hopes of sophomores as

they began their 1956-1957 high school

days.

But the accomplishments of the en-

tire sophomore class are apparent as

194 sophomore index

The monthi of arranging leni-comciou! models, of creating copy with sparkle and punch, of cropping photos so no

one will be cut, of planning eye-catching lay-outs, and of balancing debits and credits are past. Watchtower editors

Sandra Longacre, Sally Ingold, Ronald Janecke, Tom Whitmore, and Judith Katz wrap up the result of their year's trials

and triumphs as they send the proof on its final trip to the printer.

In the year of preparation that has

gone into the making of this 1957

Watchtower, the editorial staff has had

to call upon many others to assist in

the production of the book.

Many journalism students, past and

present, were drafted as helpers.

Grinding out copy for clubs and ac-

tivities were student writers Duncan

Bailey, Lawrence Bennett, Hal Coffin,

Darrell Darling, Linda Frisk, Linda

Geifman, Marcia Hance, Toby Kaven-

sky, Carolyn Jensen, Marilyn Kelsey,

Patricia Parr, Lynne Urie, John Wil-

liams, Carol Bailey, Shirley. Moeller,

Carol Pruessing, Ann Zeffren, Sally

Stengel, Sandra Wiklund, Adrienne

Stulz, Priscilla Stowe, Edith Moses, Bet-

sy Scott, Rosemary Shepherd, and

Sharyl O'Melia.

Thanks are due to the 1957 journal-

ism B class for assistance in typing

copy and to Diane Arp and her staff

of David Collins, Mary Ellen Daniels,

and Hal Coffin, who spent many hours

over hard-to-read class lists.

The task of "seeing all, knowing all,

and doing all" was delegated to our

adviser, Miss Virginia Harrod.

When questions of typography,

copy, headlines, or printing arose, we

turned to J. L. Sronce, representative

of the Peoria Engraving Company.

Paul Callaghan of Paul's Studio will

be remembered for his many "classic"

jokes while posing students for senior

portraits as well as other photos.

Relieved at last from constant pres-

sure to meet deadlines is the Rock Is-

land high school Camera club, which

contributed the bulk of student shots.

Throughout the year the Rock Island

Argus has been most co-operative in

supplying us with many vital shots.

Adding the crowning touch to our

1957 record is the end sheet art work of

Janet Schuster.
