Visual Basic & SQL Picturebox Controls - arrays

Question

Using picture boxes overlaid onto an image as seen below.
Click for Form Layout
When the form loads if the student attends the class then the picturebox becomes a green tick. If the student does not attend the class the picturebox becomes blank.
Using SQL I can query the database to return all the classes that a specific student attends.
These classes are stored in an array StudentClass(n)
There are 50 classes on the timetable stored in an array AttendsClass(n). All with a default value of False.
If the student attends a class then the specific attendsclass in the array becomes True.
Once the form is loaded the user can click on a picturebox to select that class and the corresponding attendsclass in the array becomes true.
Finally the user saves the form, inserting the classes back into the database.
The problem I have is in the Sub Form4_Load at the end, I currently have to repeat the same block of code 50 times. That simply checks if the student attends the class then sets the picture box = to an image of a tick on the GUI (_new.jpg).
enter code here
If AttendsClass(1) = True Then
PictureBox1.Image = My.Resources._new
End If
If AttendsClass(2) = True Then
PictureBox2.Image = My.Resources._new
End If
If AttendsClass(3) = True Then
PictureBox3.Image = My.Resources._new
End If
If AttendsClass(4) = True Then
PictureBox4.Image = My.Resources._new
End If
Is it possible to put this into a loop to shorten my code. The code does work but its slow and lengthy so any improvements would be helpful.
Many Thanks Alex Currie

Working example:
Private Sub PictureBox1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles PictureBox1.Click, ...., PictureBox50.Click
Dim pic As PictureBox = CType(Controls(CType(sender, PictureBox).Name), PictureBox)
'now you have clicked picturebox
'you can change image by pic.Image = ...
'if you want picturebox index, use line below:
Dim picidx As Integer = CInt(CType(sender, PictureBox).Name.Replace("PictureBox", ""))
End Sub
