N Act 1 The Foothills HESE are the future Every' ,S ,Q bodies, inexperienced now, but growing more into the responsibilities which await them. Although they are only minor characters, the scenes in which they appear are significant ones. They are delightfully absorbed in their own lines, but one can detect them studying with affected unconcern the leading characters-admiring-enjoyf ing-hoping. They are gradually learn' ing to realize the long, gruelling ref hearsals which Everyboy and Every' girl undergo before perfecting their roles. To them they are a prophecy of their own mysterious future to which they look forward so eagerly. They would not let Everyboy and Everygirl even suspect how they look up to them and anticipate the day when they will be in their places, proud Seniors. V 5' 7 Q8 13 if L- A? vi , a 'W .0 .,, Vx 1 Scene I-f-JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL H-hi 1 Theodore Roosevelt junior High School Marjorie Smith was excitedly telling her chums from California, Catherine Duane, Alice Lent, and Polly Wayne of her first semester at the new Theodore Roosevelt Junior High School. The girls sat with wide open eyes, plainly surprised to hear Marjorie talk so excitedly about school during vacation time. Oh girls, it's the most beautiful place, began Marjorie. uYou know how pretty it is on the outside, for you've seen it, but the inside is twice as nice. The halls are so big and wide, and our lockers are built in, and oh, girls, we have the prettiest drink' ing fountains in the halls with Mosaic pictures above every one of them! Chl oh! oh, gasped the girls in wonder. Lunch is the most fun, continued Marjorie, we have a great big cafeteria and it's more fun to eat there! just think, there are fortyfthree tables and about four hundred pupils are served each lunch hour. We have such delicious lunches that mother says she wishes that she lived nearer the school so she could buy her lunch, too. We have visitors almost every day and they don't forget to come a second time, either. Vx7e've already had six banquets. ' ' Polly, who was too fond of good things to eat, sighed deeply at the mention of banquets. Do you go swimming? asked Alice, to whom sports always came first. Ch, my yes. We have the most wonderful swim' ming pool, over eight hundred pupils elected swim' ming, so the pool is always full. You'd like our big gym, too, Alice, because it has everything an athletic girl like you could wish for. What's that big room with all the windows that ' J you can see from the outside? asked Catherine. Oh, that's the Aud, explained Marjorie, Hand ' we have good times there, too. We have had some of the best assemblies this year. Each grade is in charge of an assembly at some time or other, and we surely do eagerly wait for our turn. The period during which we have assembly we call social activity period, and we have it every day. Twice a week it is used for assemblies and the other days we have club meet' ings or do our banking. Cn Mondays we always have Home Room Club. Then each pupil goes to his room and school problems and parties, and oh, almost everything is discussed. We have ofhcers, too, and follow real parliamentary order. We have opporf tunity clubs, too. What are opportunity clubs? asked the inquisitive Catherine. Oh, they're to help pupils who get behind in some subject that may be especially hard for them, like Latin or Algebra, you know, and they do help, very much. AUDITOR IUM LIBRARY ..- - 1 SWHVIMING POOL lSl I wish I could belong to an arithmetic opportunity clubfsighed Alice,whose weak point was mathematics, but we don't have them in our school. Everyone has to belong to at least one club, you see, and almost everybody gets a chance to hold some ofiicef' Don't you ever have any hard studies? asked Alice. Why certainly we do, answered Marjorie indignantly, What do you think school is for? These clubs and assemblies are education, just as well as lessons. We have six hours of regular lessons a day. We study onefhalf of the period, then recite during the other half. I take cooking, and I like it the best of any subject because we have every' thing imaginable to use in a kitchen, and we serve the meals we cook, in the dining room. - W7 '1 Do you mean to tell me that you have a real honf estftofgoodness dining room? asked Alice in wonder. L'We certainly do, and it's beautiful, too. We have a large table, twelve chairs, host and hostess chairs, a tea cart and two builtfin china closets. Besides we have a lovely rug and cretonne curtains. We just love to cook meals and serve them there. Mother says I've really learned how to cook many things and how to keep a kitchen looking spic and span, Marjorie added proudly. We have a sewing department,too, she continued, also fully equipped where beautiful clothes made by the girls in sewing classes are always on exhibition. And-oh, I mustn't forget our library. It's a large room containing nine large tables. What I like best is a huge fireplace of carved Bedford stone. It gives the room such a cosy appearance. Everybody loves to study there. We are allowed to take books from our library to read and keep them a week. COOKING CLASS At this moment, Bobby, Marjorie's brother, came ' ' ' from the house. TRAFFIC SQUAD Do you like the junior High School as well as Marjie, Bob? asked Polly. It's keen, all right, answered Bob in his usual good English I joined the Radio Club this afternoon and we had a swell meeting up in the tower room. k'Bob's a traffic officer, too, said Marjorie proudly, he directs all the pupils across the street after school. Oh, that's nothing, said Bob, blushing. Marf jorie is the captain of the Sanitary Officers, who keep school clean and neat. I miss band practice now dur' ing vacation, he added as he sauntered off. Do you have a band? asked Catherine. GYMNASIUM ' 4 Oh yes, and an orchestra too. The band is quite large, and the orchestra already has fortyfone pieces and is growing fast. I wish I went to a junior High School, too, sighed Alice. They certainly are the best ever, and I wish you could go too, said Marjorie loyally. MSO do we, sighed the girls. I9l r l I 1 1 fff?LT55QMfXf 1wmf' ' H ffQfE'i'?WW U01 Sccne 2-PRES HMEN U2 13 Freshmen Here is the story of my experiences and thoughts before I entered Rockford High School and afterward: Before-I have recently graduated from grade school and will go to R.H.S. in September. I am quite sure that I will cut a figure over there. I will probably ' be captain of the lightweight football team and well known throughout the state. I don't want to seem conceited but I cerf tainly feel that not less than onefthird of the fair inhabitants of R.H.S. will be at my feet inside of a year, I am going to start in training for the football team right away. I want to be well up on the ine points of the game when I start in. Also I am going to practice on the saxaphone. Wheri I am not playing football I will be in the band. I feel quite confident that I will be the drumfmajor for a semester at least. Afterward-My first day was full of exciting moments. I think I was lost at least ten times. Once I wandered into the auditorium. I certainly felt simple when, as I walked down a long aisle a titter ran over the room. Werit out of that room much faster than I went into it. - L I was hurt more than once on the ANNA BICIIR subject of my smallness in size. I didn't think I was very small, but many, many people over there seemed to think so. Of course I was a regular moving locker at first. Ch! The pangs I suffered as I walked down the hall amid many remarks such as, Did you forget your key? Whcm took your locker away from you? and Say, Bill, look at the Freshief' At lunch time when I ran for the lunchroom and dinner, I knocked several people down who, of course, didn't act as though they had just received an invitation for a picnic. I tried to push through the flocks of people on my way to classes and on every side I heard, Look at the Freshie, thinks he's in a burning JACK THORNE building, See the greenhornf' and other remarks such as these. Another boy and I were having just all kinds of fun sliding down the runway over and over again, before a hooting audience of students made us wish we had the power to go up in smoke. Of course the timefworn joke about the elevator was tried on me to see if I would bite, the one where the little freshie goes up to the big Senior and asks him how to get to a certain classroom, then the Senior directs him to the office where he will find the elevatorf man. Of course, later I was enlightened on the point of this moss' backed joke. This ended my experiences for that day. Qne day I was sick and couldn't go to school. I almost drove my mother frantic by asking her not less than fifty times during - A the day if she thought high school could get along without me for a day or so. As the days passed I didn't seem to become as bright and shining a light in the many asso' ciations as I had expected to. I guess the biggest reason for this was because I didn't exert myself enough. HONOR STUDENTS f14I Une of my chief troubles in my freshman year was about my appearance. I could not make my hair stafeombed. This I considered a very big trouble. I was awkward and instead of making up with the girls I evaded them as much as possible. Nlany future stars were begin' ning to shine around me while I plodded steadily and uninterestf - edly on. Some were on the Owl Staff, some started, already, in athletics, others in band and orchestra, while some were in R.O.T.C., still others joined clubs and figured quite a bit in their affairs. When I became a staleffreshman last February I used to look with scorn at the forlorn freshies wandering lonesomely around the halls with five or six books in tow. I felt some pity for them, however, as I remembered my own days as a freshie. I began to realize more and more that I was not as essential to the administration of the school as I had supposed. It certainly hurt my pride of which I have a great deal. I saw all about us classmates who had entered one activity or another. Some were on the road to athletic fameg some gave promise of becoming fine musicians, and others were leading ' in the clubs. Still I saw that there was no one to take the place I had once planned on. There was yet time. Three and onefhalf years of time. It seemed a great deal but I decided to start immediately. I went up to see Mr, Haight about joining the band, He was very encouraging till he asked me to play for him. I explained that I had not yet learned to play the instrument I chose. I started taking lessons but didn't get much time to practice as the call for spring football came out about that time. I had to work every afternoon then which necessitated being excused from the clubs to which I had belonged. I still kept up Glee Club, however, Mrs. Neidhardt would have given me the lead in the operetta I am sure, if I could have carried a tune. I had all i - the other necessary qualifications. I ' though of trying out for the Debating team but they said my appearance was not prepossessing enough to command much respect. All this was changed a few weeks later, though. My birthday arrived and dad gave me a new suit!-my first long trousers, I felt very proud the first I day I wore them but I seemed to be all legs. Everyone noticed meg I felt very important, strange to say. One day when I was in my Algebra room after school, the girl who sits next to me in class came in to study. She smiled at me. I never noticed her before but she had a nice smile. The next night I found I needed help with my lessons so went up to see my teacher after school. She was there again-the girl with the nice smile. I def cided to give up spring football and band practice, I really needed a great deal of assistance with Algebra and right after school was . . a most convenient time. The next quarter I got on the Honor Roll, ANDERSON TWINS FYFRICTI' XIBAXIS EDWARD CARTER Inever feel insignificant any more. Iknow all about this school now. I never get lost or carry more than three books at a time. Next year I think I'll join a few organizations and start on my road to fame, There's plenty of time yet-three years to look forward to, Ilil ..-..-......1--,,Y W, ...-..,A, .-.......- V a- 'ff 335-5 -A -X V Y N Y i..,4.,.m,,-. ....-...,,..,, A , .,.,,..,......

The reason for their celebrating in such a vociferous manner was very apparent. They had just completed a most successful cruise of piracy, making huge inf roads upon knowledge and endeavor. . They were a careffree group, recognizing no leader, under the sway of no captain, ruled alone by the suggestions of the advisors, their teachers. They had been compelled to run the gauntlet with their good ship in more than one great battle. While they event' ually came out victorious, it was hard fighting while it lasted. The most important of these many battles were rnidfyear and june Finals Minor battles, mere skirmishes were the Quarterlies. A few brave pirates fell by their posts, but they lived in the mem' ories of their comrades, and inspired them on to higher deeds of bravery. It was with the wild, reckless abanf don of youth that they danced and then, when their excitement had cooled somewhat, they called on var' ious members of the gallant crew for l short speeches. These members were pirates of renown in some branch of the service, and because of their valor they had been advanced from the ranks, Ice cream sodas were passed out to all, and then when all were comfortable, the chosen sailors advanced and spun their wild, weird yarns. VIVARTTAS The troop prided themselves very highly on their most efficient band of minstrels. Said minstrels were treated very well and were regarded as artists. It was the job of the minstrels to play the war song, ' ' the song of victory, the death song, - besides playing at all ceremonial oc' casions. Edward Haight, Truesdale Smith, Ralph Zahm, Keith Fisk, Chester Snyder, Robert Page, and Cassius Zuck pranced forward and played a wonderful song about the victories and honors of the Sophomore class, their good advisors, in fact, almost everything that was fine and noble. Then they played a song of the traditions of past classes as a spur to more brave and noble things. SAVAGE+PARKFR Music was not enough to portray the victories, too numerous to name, which had fallen to the lot of the class. Paul Cassidy, of Owl staff fame, coming from the ranks of the assembled pirates, sketched scenes from the great battles of the class, the brave deeds of some of the crew. His was an art of which the ' crew never tired. Sketch upon sketch came from his marvelous ingenuity and it was long before the crew would allow him to quit. G. KRITKFR Some of the crew, formerly associated with journalism, had put some of the thrilling ad' ventures into print and as a result of the experiment, a weekly newspaper was being pub' lished. The staff consisted of several people: Anne Kendall, Grace Goff, Virginia Wise, U03 Elizabeth McGuire, Paul Wcmllstadt, and George Kreker. Paul Cassidy attended to the art work. The paper was a favorite with the pirates, and plans had been made to increase the staff. The staff insisted they were capable of running the paper, and consequently they turned out a remarkable little paper. Sammy Behr was one of the bravest of the fighting men. Many a time had he crossed swords with people in battle and he had been victorious. The pupil of a great master, his skill was soon ' apparent and great fame was his. Pauline Wyiiters was the dancer of the crew. She officiated, so to speak, at all big affairs. Her dancing was the pride of the crew, and her fame as a dancer spread over the entire section of piracy. A contest was held among the crew for all around usefulness. Everything in the line of piracy was included and many of the crew made the honor chart. Their reward was a larger share in the spoils of knowledge. The more regular pirates whose names were blazoned upon the chart were: Edward Haight, Marion Glen- denning, Mildred Lundvall, Marion Hallstrom, Ruth Anderson, Dwight V 'T' -- - Flanders, Leslie Peterson, john Wise, MAC AND ZAHM Ralph Zahm, and Arlie Gates. Some of the crew made the list off and on and then honor was theirs, but these above mentioned more often made the list. What pirate crew,would be complete without their cheer' leaders? Whtm would urge the crew to ultimate victory, who would cheer a brave deed, and who would create new life in those weary from many wounds? The Sophomore crew had a corner on cheerleaders, so to speak. Three sophomores have entered into the ranks of the cheerleaders. They are john Vivarttas, head cheerleaderg Donald Cooper, and James McPherson. Dramatics have played an imporf ? '1 ' tant part in the piratical cruise. Those who have graced the stage have been popular and they have succeeded in . , making themselves even more popuf MCGUIRE lar. They have provided interest and amusement for the remain- ing part of the crew, which is of great importance, inasmuch as pirates should not be kept idle. They should always be busy having fun. Chief among the entertainers was Morgan Savage. His fame was assured after his portrayal of the part of 'hSiera in the Military play, A Box of Monkeys. Q Qi' ily. ra -'-lp., 5 s.w.mw-.fi-M.-W. I D Music, what would the minstrels do without music? Florence Lovejoy saw to that with her productions of a very high type. It has been said of her that some day she will make a stir in musif cal circles. Thus did the cruise of the pirates terminate successfully and CWSIDY FT AL their leaders having spoken, telling what brave deeds they had 'A ' ' ' A accomplished and their many advances, left an imperishable memf ory in the minds of the crew. This time they will sail under the flag of juniors. It is the earnest wish of everybody, that that tour of piracy upon knowledge and education, will be as much of a success as the Sophomore one has been. i21l P H ':1,1 1 L:-Jgfg, 4, .Aw V ,- 1' LY'5'i'L ::Y.,.- ., - :z-rc .

These students worked together faithfully and prof duced a junior class of 19244925 to be proud of. The juniors were very successful in electing an active group of class officers who carried out the junior program in a way that will long be rememf ' ' W ' bered after their departure. Clark Hamer, president, proved his Worth to his class and made a success of his term. He is one of the best students in school and a very good leader. Meetings and other affairs of the third year class were carried on in good fashion and well attended under the supervision of Miss Vincent and the officers. Fill' ing the boots of the important office of vicefpresident, Campbell Gschwindt helped pilot the junior ship through the sea of 1924-4925. , . The junior Prom, probably the most important and best event of the year was a very brilliant agair and one of the most successful ever sponsored by a junior class. It was Well at' tended and afforded a good time for all. As treasurer, Margaret Reynolds was one of the most active girls in school. She acted as a cadet sponsor and took part in many other doings about school. Another prominent member of the junior class was Leslie Linds' ley, who as secretary kept accurate records of junior activities and took as good interest in work and school. lt seems that almost too much can not be said about the junior class as they also were the proud possessors of many prominent athletes as Well as other dignitaries in school. Both of next seaf son's football captains, who were stars of the gridiron last fall, are juniors. CLASS OFIFICERS , Dutch Wiiiters and johnny Sabin are two of the best linemen and peppy athletes that ever held a berth on a squad representing the Red and Black. Both boys have been active in other school affairs as Well as in athletics. John Sabin has been one of the best MISS lllxcllixill singers on Mrs. Neid' hardtls singing staff this year. Many more students of significance are members of the junior class and must be mentioned. Dagmar Ahlgren,girl honor student of 19Z4f1925,claims mem' bership in the junior ranks. Activities and studying do go together and it has been proved in the highest degree by Dagmar. Marion Hoegberg, another live wire has held down positions as Biology Club presi' dent, Glee Club vicefpresident and major role in the Glee Club operetta. Other athletes on our list of members are: Creorge PROM L.mNIT.1.H. Holt, probably one of the best ends in the conference last fall, and Pete Priest, li fhtweight halfback. Gordon Seder uist and Charles Vxfilliamson , - R T q . . proved that juniors can be stars on the basketball court as well as the gridiron. As an important position holder in publications Herbert Horwitz has made a record. He is i33l a former president of the 836 Club and one of the editors of the Owl last semester. Aileen Durin another junior of prominence held a position as vice president ofthe French Club during the past year. Other members have been active in this club but as the pages are limited for this review we will be able to mention them individually. The A.B.L organization had a junior for secretary and a good one in Dorothea Baker, Other clubs had juniors for members who were very active as junior always seem to be. Other members, many of whom we will not have room to mention are eligible for recognition. With all due modesty, for juniors are notoriously modest, always falling into retirement upon the ap' proach of any august Senior, we wish to impress upon you our importance as a class. That juniors are inf dispensable to the life, liberty, and pursuit of happi' - - ness of all other classes is an undeniable fact. How, 11L'i:iilt1x'l'1ox woakmzs pray tell, could the Freshmen endure the taunts and scoflings of the Sophof mores and Seniors without the rugged protection and moral sup' ' port of the sponsors, the juniors? They would expire from fright and mortification after one wearing day. It is the sight of the gay, festive juniors which enables them to endure the dangers and hardships of the first year in anticipation of the day when they will be so poised, selffassured, and confident. Were not such social lights as Constance Rutz, Kenneth Savage, Eudora Countryman, Stanley Kjellgren, and Betty Sydow to inspire them with desires for similar popularity they would have little for which to live. And the Sophomores-the wonderful accomplishments of their rivals and superiors urge them on to greater endeavor. Withcmut such spurs they would soon fall into the path of neglect and indiff ference and the fame of Rockford High School and the light of her worthy organizations would soon flicker out. When they see some of our representatives attaining already positions of promif nence such as Kenneth Audley, president of the Radio Club: - 3 Harold Page, band drumfmajorg Bob O'Neal, associate editor of !! l!'lKS !'i!'OB!'lRG the Owlg and Dagmar Ahlgren, honor roll head: they strive more diligently to surpass our record. And now let us tell you a secret! You certainly would never suspect it, fact though it is, for the truth is carefully hidden under a cloak of swaggering brag' gadocio, our greatest service is to the noble leaders of the school ----f to the haughty, proud, condescending Seniors. Perhaps they think all the enterprises of the school are carried out by their initiative. What a mistaken conception! Could the Seniors accomplish b - aught without the able assistance of the modest Juniors? Never! They merely direct and dash from one activity to another. Without our generous efforts the Seniors would not be able to encom' pass the many activities of the school. Competent aid from such of our class as Betty Coble, Serena Holmin, Ruth Fetzer, ,lack Adams, and Evan Rutherford enables them to successfully complete many projects. i 1 HONOR S'l'lfDIQX'I'S i34l Q '1 F1 1 Act II On the Yami! to Me Summzl' CORES of them throng the halls.

Someone has well said this interpretation is inadequate because of 'the enrichment of the curriculum through extrafcurricular activif ties sometimes called life experiencesg therefore, we may term education as life itself. Surely every member of the class of 1925 will always look upon what is presented in thisAnnual as a chapter of real life not soon to be forgotten. May each graduate this year always cherish the ideals that have been upheld in Rockford High School, even to the extent of shapf ing thought and deed. The faculty extends to every member of the class congratulations and sincere wishes for the richest that life has to offer. whether in higher institutions of learning or elsewhere.

A novel stunt was Florence Buchanan's Balloon Dance after which balloons were sold. Another snappy number on the program was that of four girls who brought back memories of last year's operetta g'The Magic Wheel. Dorothy Leet and Aileen Cooper were attired in flower girls cos' tumes, while Isla Maddrell and Lola Coppins were sailors. Marion Hoegberg held the attention of the dancers with her entrancing voice, by singing selections also from the Magic Wheel. Much needed dollars were put into the treasury by the candy sales. Marion Felch was in charge. GLEI2 t'l.L'B XI.X'I'1XE1i The orchestra gave a real Halloween party, Wedf nesday afternoon, October 29, in the boys' gym. Cox's orchestra began playing soon after school. The dancers g W were given masks at the door, in keeping with the occasion. As T ' the masks lent a delightful air of mystery the party developed into just an informal good time. Those responsible for the success of the dance were: Wendell Letts, Aaron Brown, Diana Williams, Marjorie Davis, Perry Anderson, Evan Rutherford, and Charles Curtis. Amid many gay jack o' lanterns, yellow and black streamers, cornstalk decorations, and softly shaded lights, members of the Drama Club and outsiders whiled away Hallowe'en. Orchestra from Belvidere furnished snappy music, and the girls' gym was crowded with people in all manner of costumes. Miss Perego and Miss Hollem looking decidedly oriental in Chinese costumes and Miss Putman with two long black braids hanging over her shoulders, weighted great Indian blanket, acted as chaperones. down with beads and a Thelner Hoover and Florence Buchanan were mentioned as the ' A DRAMA PARTY A subscription campaign who had 100 Wi pantomime of the various departments , OWI, MATINICE most comically dressed couple and Janet Smith and Wendell Letts as the couple with the best looking costumes. Several others were given mention for various unusual types of costumes. Merle Weeks, in Gypsy attire, made a most charming ticket girl at the door of the gym, while two daintily dressed maidens sold cider and doughnuts, in one corner of the gym. At eleven' thirty, gailywishing each other goodnight, the couples dispersed and went home to dream about the fan' tastical figures they had seen that enjoyable evening. The Owl gave a matinee party, November 7th in the boys' gym in honor of the captains of the Owl rooms. The program consisted of clever portrayals in of the Owl. Some of the other numbers were: Dances by Zaida and Doris Carse, 'Zaida Brown, piano solos by Edna ,lane North, songs by Marion T381 Hoegberg. Music for dancing, later in the after noon was furnished on the piano alternately by Constance Rutz and Perry Anderson. Lollipops and Myty Goods in abundance were passed to the guests. The French Club, not to be outdone by any of the other organizations put on an afternoon party in the boys' gym, November 2, 1924, Of course the usual high spirits prevailed, for there was a peppy orchesf tra and everybody was there, too, it being necessary to solve the mystery aroused by queerfsounding advertisements of a ballet entitled A New Kind of Man. Curiosity, that disdained, yet unbanishable emof tion, was paramount when Florence Hooker gave the introduction to an AllfAmerican ballet, picked by Flo Zeigiield himself and rivaled by none in its class. fYes, it was in a class by itselfj The spectators were advised to pay especial attention to the left end and right tackle. Soft, rhythmic strains of Kiss Me Again pervaded the tense atmosphere of the gym. The door burst open. Out tripped six l more or less dainty dancers namely, Robert St. john, Marsh Law' ton, Bruce Dennis, Ralston Rundquist, Lamont Clikeman, and Ermont Vxfilson. In their fluffy costumes of shimmering green, orchid, and pale yellow, their jaunty hats tilted coyly over one eye, they created steps in an amazing manner. l3.XI.l.FT DXXCERS Although Bob insisted upon going in the opposite direction from his partner, and Marsh had a terrible time maintaining his equilibrium, and Bruce wanted all the bouquets brought for the chorus, and Ralston was prone to get behind the others, owing no doubt, to his natural instinct toward gracefulness, and Ermont and Lamont had stage fright, the ballet was perfect. At least the audience declared they had never seen anything quite like it. And judging from the maidenly shrieks and more manly shouts of laughter, another success was chalked up for the French Club. Eight o'clock P. M. of November 22 found the boys' gym a ' ' gay spectacle of red, white and blue streamers, and bright colors of evening gowns contrasted with the drab of military uniforms. At 3330 the drum Smmded and Captain Addington announced the Grand March. First came the officers, ladies on their arms, sabres drawn, folf L 4 lowed by the chaperones, and other guests. Down the center of the gym in regal fashion Helen Sowle, battalion sponsor, and Stuart Johnson, Cadet Major, led the march. They circled the hall, and as they again reached the center, officers and their ladies formed lines on either side, crossing, and forming an arch for the remainder of the line. December 18 the Rah letter men met for the last time at a banquet held in their honor. Before dinner was served the boys gathered and , 1 lived over all of the thrilling battles that they had JUNIOR PROM fought on the gridiron. After this review they elected captains for the next season. After this they adjourned to the lunch room which was gorgeously decorated in red and black with footballs swinging to and fro on the ceiling, SANTA CLAUS U91 Vv hen the dishes were laid aside Coaches Beyer and Poole gave talks on what each of the teams had accomplished during the faded season. t After the several speakers on the program had finished their orations, the retiring captains, joe McCoy and Carlos Countryman gave reviews of the season's work and then the two cap' tainsfelect, Paul Wiiiters and John Sabin, told their mates they would strive to uphold the honor of the teams. The banquet ended with the boys giving nine rahs for Miss Olsten and the cooking girls who had so willingly helped to ' ' ' make the evening a success. The social science department gave a real party Wednesday afternoon, December 17, in the boys' gym. Don Chase delighted the Freshies with his por' trayal of Santa Claus and distributed gifts both to children and teachers. All day Saturday, December 20, Ruth Meade, Miss Brodie, and the various committees labored dilif gently for the .A.B.L. party. The reward for their , g ., .. , work was a transformed gym. An immense A.B.L. Ani.. DliC'OR.X'l'IXG CoxIx11'rTEE sign hung from the ceiling, with red and green streamers extending from it, forming a canopy. Attractive girls and boys, Nelson House Orchestra, and Christmas atmosphere can make nothing but a success of an evening. The seventh annual band banquet sponsored by the present band of Rockford High School was held on Tuesday evening December 23, 1924. The band is usually considered a stag affair, but at their banquet the boys brought guests, and with approximately fifty former band boys and their friends there was an atf tendance of about eighty couples. After the dinner, Gordon Nelson, acting as toastf master, took charge of the program and gave a short BAND BANQUITI' SPEAKERS talk on Our School. Miss Florence Hooker talked on the topic Cnr Boys. Ernest Engquist told about L'The Present Band, while Marshall Wocad, a former member, told uHow We Did It. David Jarrett told what was going on 'LOver the Radio, later presenting a gift to Mr. Haight and thanking him in behalf of the Seniors. Mr. Haggard told what he saw Through the Microscope. After a few remarks from Mr. Haight, adjournment was had to the girls' gymnasium where the dancing took place. Cox's Crchestra furnished . . music for the dancing. Defying superstition, the annual Junior Prom was given on Friday evening February 13 and the dance successfully lived up to the reputation established by last year's junior class. Cox's orchestra began playing at eight. The gym was gaily decorated in purple and gold, the class colors. Clark Hamer and Myrtle Johnson led the grand march followed by the other class officers and their guests. Purple and gold bags of delicious home made fudge were used as favors in one dance, and in another the boys appeared in fringed Hawaian skirts and paper bags on their heads and the girls were allowed to choose their own partners.

The council brought about the installation of towels and soap in the wash roomsg the giving of proper attention to the drinking fountains, the placing of clocks in class roomsg the enforcing of non' tardiness drive and the encouraging of the stadium proposition. Among the accomplishments of the Girls' Student Council was the sale of Red Cross stamps at Christmas time. The Council was represented in the stadium drive by its presif dent who with several other members of the committee gave talks before business clubs and school assemblies. The Library Board is composed of sixteen students who assist in the library, two each study hour. One student remains in the ref serve booth and takes care of the checking of the reserve booksg the other keeps record of attendance. The Athletic Board of Control is concerned with the personal as well as the general wel' fare of the athletes. Cases of questionable elegibility are settled by the Board. It also directs the disposition of Hnances. The studentlvlayors and Committeemen are elected by the Student Council. A Faculty Committee appointed by the Principal cofop' erates with the students in planning the asf sembly programs. Students serving on the councils, boards, and assembly committees gain valuable ex' perience in dealing with problems of school improvement. The faculty and student body are called into closer relations through the associations called for by these organizations. The students who participate in the control of school affairs carry this feeling of comradef ship to the students at large. Greater interest in bettering conditions about the keener appreciation and pride in blies and library result from the that the pupils are cooperating in istrating of school affairs. school and the assemf knowledge the admin' i441 Cui' Best Assemblies To determine the popularity of the assemblies held during the year, a representative vote was taken in eight English classes to determine the most favored meeting of the year. The assembly given by the lviilitary Department of the school proved to be by far the best' liked assembly of the year. The program consisted of a playlet, rather humorous, entitled A Box of Mo1ikeys. The characters included both men and women, all parts being handled by the cadets, no outside talent being employed. Owing to the sex of the actors, there was a' considerable display V -,gil I? -, 1 , A .7 1952 - f ' of mannish ways, but considering the present day rt- ' 'Zigi feminine mode, this only served to increase the mod- ' Aa- M ' jeff. lm, ern appearance of the play, and to create at greater W ' R 3 i ,..- - amount of merriment for the onlookers. 'fl 04 -. Second in the popularity contest, was placed the . 'ijt -fytgxg. 3 Annual Staff Assembly, given by the members of the My ' ' pf V ft -gi 1925 Annual Staff, in the form of a puppet show. , ' f ,WA Timm rl The curtain rose, showin the editor seated ins ectf BAND ON PARADE fi 1 P ing the dummy or the preparatory model of the Annual itself. As the editor examined the eleven different, main departments of the book, a living puppet was directed upon the stage, repref senting the department in question. Some of these representations were comical and some were not. The central idea was to portray the organif zation of the Annual, and to show to a certain extent the hustle and bustle that occurs in the publications' room. After the program, orders were taken for the new Year Book. This meeting was a worthy running mate for the Blue Ribbon Assembly. The Football Lettermeifs Assembly was awarded third place, and justly so. This is a yearly assembly, held for the purpose of awarding 'iR's for repref senting and lighting for the honor of Qld Rockford. Coach Charles Beyer made the presentation to the ,A Heavyweight team, telling some interesting sidelights l'VNG'3R on a few of the members. Captain Joe lVIcCoy delivf ered a short oration of appreciation and called upon Captainfelect Wiiitcrs, who expressed his appreciaf f ' tion to the team for honoring him as they had. Thomas M. Poole presented the Lightweight awards. Captain Countryman and Captainfelcct Sabin both favored the audience with speeches. After the letters had been given,the Heavies reciprocatcd with several popular songs and with one composed by Albert lvlonti honoring lxdr. Beyer. The team was accom' panied by its own orchestra. The Lightweights pref sented a genuine Scotchman with his bagpipe, who rendered several selections. . , Another very popular meeting consisted of a pro- , , 1 --'nm mxiiti' .KLBUXIH gram presented by the Midway String Quartet, arranged by a member of the lvlidway Theatre orchestra. A quartet such as this, is something to which the students are little ac' customed. The Quartet played a variation of some old Southern songs and some more classif cal numbers and some modern compositions. Good music is always enjoyed. The fifth enjoyable program was the result of the efforts of the Paint and Palette Club, i45l taking the form of a review of 'hThe Old Family Album. It was a typical Old Family Al- bum which presented itself to the audience. As the pages were turned, living pictures of everyone in the family were seen, from the father and mother to the last cousin by marriage. Another assembly very much enjoyed was the program staged by a Dramatic Art class in the form of a morality play, uHunger. The plot concerned the desire of people for wealth, fame, clothes, food, and love. The play rightly earned its favor. Other programs receiving special mention were F 4 TT T the Band and Orchestra Assemblies, Reverend Dancey's talk on Europe, the Armistice Day prof gram, the Travelogue of Our National Parks by several Rockford High School teachers, and the talk by Don juan Cezan on South America.

Although outweighed several pounds to a man the Rabs offset this by speed. Both teams played ragged football and fumbles were frequent. Sabin opened large holes so the backs could gain consistently, while Hagerf man, Weir, Hribal, and Ditto played excellent football. ln the backfield the plunging of Porter and of the fighting Tony Mistrettzl was a feature. Scott thrilled the fans when he intercepted a pass and tried for a touchdown. Coach Poole's ponies added their second win to their belts by walloping Harlem Conf solidated High School 20fAO, September 27th. Rockford scored all of her points in the first two quartersg after that they were held scoref less by the game fighters from Harlem.

On October 4, the ponies were held to a O--O score by the strong lightweights of Oak Park. Frequent fumbles interfered with Rock' ford's scoring after they had carried the ball down the field. Tony Mistretta, midget fullback, showed great power backing up the line and in making some good gains through the Oak Park line. The Big Seven race started Saturday, Ocf tober 11th, when the ponies took Joliet into camp and trimmed them 1246. The regulars starting the game scored a touchdown after Weir recovered a Joliet fumble. Joliet scored on Rockford when Monti touched a punt and Joliet recovered on the two yard mark. They went over on the next play. Weir, Ditto, Counryman, and F .Monti played stellar roles, The Rabs played East Aurora October 18th and won this time ISA-O.

The ponies repeated their 13-O score, Oc' tober 25th, in the West Aurora game. Abney played a fine game at center. In the third quarter Porter tore off a 25 yard run and then threw a pass to Priest who set the ball down Aurora pass and put the ball over the line. Before the largest home crowd that ever witnessed a lghtweight game the Rab ponies kept their slate clean in the conference race by defeating Elgin 14-O, November 1.

DeKalb pulled a surprise on our ponies November 8, and turned our lightweights back by the score 13-6. The Barbs scored in the first period when they surprised the ponies by a cleverly executed pass that went to Swanson who raced 75 yards for a touchf down. The Rabs came back and scored after line plunges by Scott, Porter, Hribal, and Countryman coupled with a pass to Ditto scored a touchdown with Captain Toddie carrying the ball over. Freeport went into a tie November 15 for the championship of the Big 7, when they defeated the Rab ponies 10-O and thus put them into second place.

Nearly all of these were either on the regular squad or were first string men substitutes. The loss of Bill Weir and Harry Abney at center position will be keenly felt.

Rockford High School Stadium For many years Rockford athletic teams have been battling on various grounds, usually not their own. For years the old baseball park in the north end near Harlem Park was the scene of many hectic struggles. Then the scene of activities was transferred to Kishwaukee Park, and all football games were staged there. But rented grounds never proved satisfacf tory. The cost was no inconsiderable burden, and the grounds did not oftentimes receive the care needed to make a really good gridiron. Several years ago the alumni association took upon itself to sponsor a move for the acquiring of a permanent home for high school outdoor athletics. As a result of their activities enough money was raised to purchase a plot of ground lo' cated just east of Kishwaukee street and ad' jacent to the Illinois Central railroad tracks. For several years all football games were played here, but the investment proved to be a big disappointment ground was low, and field into a quagmire. to all concerned. The every rain turned the Furthermore, the high land surrounding the field made it possible for hundreds to view the games without paying a cent of admission. Finally, three years ago, the athletic board of control decided that further playing on the high school Held was impracticable, and since then all games have been played on Kishwauf kee Held, the old Threefl baseball park. Last year the Board of Education decided to buy Kishwaukee Park when the Rockford Baseball Association gave up their franchise in tne league, and make this field permanent school property. Thus the site for a permanent field has been finally and satisfactorily settled. But that was only part of the problem, after all. The conf stantly increasing popularity of football as a sport has meant a constantly growing crowd of spectators to witness each contest, and bet' ter seating facilities have been a real need. And so the stadium idea, in keeping with the general trend of university and collegiate pracf tice, came into existence. F. A. Jensen, superintendent of schools, n., ,?i'71f,.415q--r' ff --ff' V', .'f-':'f'a'7..:4.',ff 3312- ' N .5 ',F.:5 1 A - -'H 'fi F l -, :E5:,,',f.t Q., -eg - , ,W 5 few, ,.w.,2,,.,,,3:i . .ij ' V.

EMM. Qzvstaar his v Jia afwsgq QI--... A, ESE, .,..'gQ,f 1 , GY,, , .XFATJZ WWF? - t ii presented the stadium idea in the fall of 1924. He felt that a city the size of Rockford was greatly in need of such a structure. In looking about for an organization which was willing to sponsor such an undertaking, it was natural he should turn to the Kiwanians. The members of this organization immediately fell in with the idea. Plans were devised for financing the undertaking and were then submitted to the school architects, PetersonEiJohnson. Ground was broken November 25 with several Ki- wanians and school people present. The committee appointed by the Kiwanians to plan ways and means concluded that a stadium seating 8,000 persons should be built finally, but for the present only 4,000 seats should be attempted, these were to be built on the west side of the field in the spring and summer of 1925. In 1926 4,000 seats were again to be built. If necessary 8,000 seats can be added at any time to the seating capacity of the stadium. The club pledged 1,000 seats and its mem' bers canvassed the city for more pledges. Each pledge was for one seat costing 357.00 and en' titled the owner to see all the home games in the fall of 1925. The student councils of the high school sponsored a stadium campaign early in De- cember. The result of this campaign was the pledging of 700 seats by high school students and their friends. The Owl Staff awarded prizes in money to the two students making the best records in the sale of pledges. Ralph Wessman, a senior and an athlete, won the first prize having sold 25 pledges. Wesley Catlin, an enthusiastic booster of all athletic activities, won the second having sold 20 pledges. Irva Rankin and Dagmar Rosander deserve special mention as having also done exceptionally fine work in gaining pledges. The football field off Kishwaukee Street was sold by the old Athletic Association to the Park Board for 512,000 This money is to be used in grading the ground at the stadium field and in building a field house. The faculty and students of the Rockford High School take this means of thanking the Kiwanis Club for its fine cooperation with Mr. Jensen in planning an athletic plant that we hope will be the scene of many victories for the Crimson and Black teams.

Sfsfs One of Rockford High School's largest and most popular organizations, the 8f5f3 Club, added another banner to its record during the year 1924fI925. Staged under a group of eflicient ofhcers, programs during the year have been more than interesting. Music, reading, and speeches by outsiders and faculty members were some of the attractions. Several members have ref ported on departments and institutions of municipal government. 8f5f3 members have - been noted for the success of their parties, and this time the club party, held early in the second semesf ter, proved one of the headline social events. FIRST SEMESTER OFFICERS Club Review of club doings would never be com' plete without mention of the annual pageant. This year members wrote a pageant depicting 'LRoman Life'in the Days of Julius Caesar which was produced at Rockford College campus near the end of the semester. Under direction of Miss Vanderhoff, and with the spirited cooperation of club workers, pageants given in the past two years have been magnificent offerings. The 1923 pageant was entitled A Mediaef ' val Pageant while last year'iA World War pro- duction was pronounced one of the best efforts seen here in the field of outdoor dramatics. A very versatile club is this! SECOND SEMESTER OFFICERS Margaret Reynolds ,.......,..... Prmidrnt Bruce Dennis .i.....i................ Pfzriflrat Ellen Kimball ..,..,........

Drama Club The Drama Club has no rival in popularity. With a large, active membership, it has ac' complished much during the last year. The Hallowelen party was one of the outstanding events of the social calendar. The two best plays presented were, The Will 0' the Wisp and The Beauty and the jacobinf' The former was directed by Serena Holmin, its cast included Betty Sydow. Mildred Lundell, Serena Holmin, and Ruth Schabacker. Wilma Long was the director of L'The Beauty and thc t jacobinf' the cast was Violet Carlson, Wilma Long, Samuel Ditto, and Herbert Horwitz. An original scene, writf ten by Florence Hooker, FIRST SITMFSTICR OFFICERS was well received by those who saw it. Lola Coppins, Blance june, John Parker, were the principals. Other plays presented were: The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife, The Dyspepf tic Ogre, By Way of a Chaperonf' and 'lThe Golden Doom. The Dramatic Recital, to which parents were invited consisted of original scenes, pan' tomimes, a monologue and scenes from tragf edy, farce, comedy, and fantasy. Pleasing variety prevented the program from becoming tiresome. Over thirty members of classes in Dramatic Art took part and all did creditably well.

The French Club has met regularly during the past year and has had a good attendance at all the meetings. Perhaps this is due to the fine programs which have been given both by talented students and interesting speakers. Some of the speakers during the year had been to France. They spoke of their trip telling many things about the country, the schools, and the language. This club pledged one stadium seat to the new - Rockford High School stadium and has been at work earning money to pay for the seat. A campaign for new members was worth the FIRST SEMESTER OFFICERS effort used by the old members to enlarge the club, the result being twoffold. A party was sponsored by this club which proved a success. Plays written by different members of the club have been given at the meetings. The old constitution is being revised and initiation of the new members will be one of the new points in it. The growth of the club has been very gratifying. There has been a notice' able addition in the num' ber of boy members, inf dicating an appreciation of the practical as well as artistic interest in French.

The memf bers are girls who are interested in home eco' nomics. The object of the club is to increase interest in the Home Economics course, to form a connecting link between school and to train young ship and community life. The Secos have had very interesting programs, l the most popular being a i humorous playlet called True Love Never Runs Smooth.

The size of this club, the largest in the school, attests the great interest being taken by the girls of the Rockford High School in home economics. The work of the classroom attracts them so strongly that they add to their days' work by continuing it in a club which meets weekly. The other clubs of the high school welcome this new club as one of the most practical in its ob' jects. Parents and social service workers should be appealed to by its worthy aims.

The regular meetings have been full of interesting and instructive programs, given in such a novel manner that the instruction has been received with pleasure by all members. At almost every meeting the club has lived up to its name and purpose by having one or two book reviews, including plays, poems, and fic' tion especially stressing modern writers. Mr. Correthers gave one of the most interesting programs when he ref viewed the play, The . Beggar on Horseback. In his review he presented the stage, actors, and purf pose in such a vivid man' ner that he made every girl present desirous of FIRST sExiEs'1sm Ol l ICERS seeing the play. The meetings were usually concluded with a dance, song, or instrumental selection by a member of the club. The A.B.L. initiation has always been one of the most unusual and unique in the high school. Screams and tales of woe are always the outcome and this year was no exception to the rule. The A.B.L. party marked the climax of this year's success. It was the type ofa party that is lived over and talked over many times. In the midst of the so' cial activities the A.B.L. has lived up to its aim and purpose-to promote inf terest in good literature and allied arts.

Smith, Philomathean Literary Society The Philomathean Literary Society, Philof mathean meaning lovers of learning, was formed in 1912 through the desire of a group of eager boys contemplating the further adf vancement of oratory, debate, parliamentary usage and social culture in Rockford High School. The Philomathean society from 1912 up to about 1918 was the peppiest leading active It not only particif organization in the school. pared in oratorical debates, but it was also the main machine in bolstering and pushing school activities. At the beginning of the school year 'i24f2i the club had about nine mem' bers, but at the end of the first semester, 43 had accepted the privelege of membership. Through the FIRST SICXIIQSTFR KJITICERS constant eiforts of Mr. Paul S. Conklin, club critic, and by the persistent enthusiasm of oilicers and members, the society is rapidly gaining the high standards which it enjoyed in its earlier years. The Philomatheans have already done things which are a credit to the society and to the school. In the coming year much is exf pected of this club not only in the way of oratory and debate, but in endeavoring to boost every activity and movement for the betterment of the high school. During 1924725 debates, extcmporaneous speeches, discussions, parliamentary drills, declamations, and music have featured the programs, Discussions of school affairs have been particularly frequent.

Rab A thor ' Club The Rab Authors Club was organized Sepf tember 20, 1924. There were twentyffive charter members each of whom had been ref commended by his English teacher for especif ally good creative work. The membership was limited to thirty. Future candidates for mem' bership were required to submit two articles suitable for publication in their magazine, or to prove that they could be useful in some other way. Meetiiigs are held every two weeks. One meeting a month is devoted entirely to busif ness, while the other one is literature. The special work of the club is to produce the high school magazine called The Drop C' Ink. Any students, though, may contribute ma' terial for publication, and special effort is made to encourage creative work throughout all departments of the school. Dr. Abbie Potts of Rockford College, Miss Constance Fisher of BarberfColeman News and Reverend Charles Parker Connolly, pas' tor of the Christian Union Church, have spoken to the club members this yeari Special honors have 1 given over to a program.

We have been very for' tunate in having several speakers, some from the city and some from the faculty of Rock' ford High School.

At one of our meetings Miss Mathys, advisor, gave a very interesting short story entitled, The Black Cat by Poe, Songs and piano selections have entertained us. The social life of the club has been well spent in an M hour or so of interesting discussion. To assist in the second part we have each year offered a prize to the student making the greatest number of credits in English reading. FIRST SITXIKSTIQR OI-'FICFRS Rompna llainie.

Under Miss Currier's supervif sion they learned to play the game well. That winter they had a party. A mock wedding was cleverly put on, each mem' ber of the bridal party repref senting some type of athlete. That first year was a good foundation on which to build. This year the girls played volley ball in the fall and basketball during the winter. In the spring they played baseball. The second year's recreation was similar to that of the firstg the party took the form of a mock prom. The point system has been carried out since the formation of the club. Ten points are given for each of the following: keeping training, baseball, volley ball, hockey, soccer, basketball, hiking, ninety miles, physical examination, and swimming twice a week for one semester.

During these years, one hundred and thirty girls have passed the test and received their emblem and pin from the Red Cross making them qualified for full fledged life saving and life guarding. Five Junior corps have graduated and two Senior Corps. The girls have not only passed their tests, but have really done something for the school and the city. Some have been assistant life guards and instructors for the beginning swimming classes here in the school, while a few of the most advanced girls have become life guards in the public pools around Rockford. The public does not realize the difficulty of passing the life savf Fl RST S liNIIiS'I'lCR Ol l ICfliRS lliana Williziiiis .. . . ,,,,,..... ..l'rwii'lrnt 1.4-slie Lintlslug: .. .. lin' l'n'ii'flfrL!

Forty' four girls are now enrolled. It is the purpose of the club to follow the ideals of Jesus Christ by being FourfSquare, that is: develop physically, mentally, spirituf ally and socially. In carrying out the pledge from t .e physical standpoint the girls indulge in basketball, swimming, hiking, and other sports. As to developing mentally, they have programs and speakers that are inter' esting and worthwhile. ' The devotional part of the meetings gives them spirf itual inspiration.

Each time a girl earns forty points she reaches sa notch higher in this climb. After she has gained 160 points she starts to work for points in a ring. Points are given for doing certain things pertaining to physical, moral and spirf itual welfare. A Valentine party celebrated the beginning of the club. A constitution was adopted and plans were made to take a hike every month. Meetings are held Fri' days at 3:45 in the Blue Room of the Y.W.C.A. The purpose of the club FIRST SEMESTER OITICERS is to have the members become true, loyal Girl Reserves and to help other girls live happy worthfwhile lives.

Grace Dodge Club The purpose of the members of the Grace Dodge Club is to lead an allfround girls' life by developing themselves physically,mentally, and spiritually. The club is a very young one having been organized but a few months. Twice a month there are special dinners for the members. The other meetings the members paint, have parties, hike, or have good times. The club members have painted all kinds of jars for different uses such as flower vases and candy jars. When they had painted quite a number the different clubs of Rockford held a County Fair at the Y.W.C.A., the proceeds of which were used to send a member to a confer' ence held in Michigaii. The judges chose Grace Dodge booth as the best of the group, and as a re' sult it won a 55.00 prize. FIRST SEK1ICS'1'IiR olfifitrks At several meetings other kinds of work was done such as making bandages for a hospital. The girls are each working toward a Girl Reserve Ring which is the highest thing that can be awarded to any girl. It takes two years to win this ring. During this time they must have lived up to their purpose and fulfill the requirements of a true Girl Reserve. Many persons have inquired as to the mean' ing of the name of the club. Inasmuch as the club is a new one an explanation may be in order. Grace Dodge was a very well known woman who became a leader in religious,social, and educational work in the city of NewYork. She was particularly fond of the Y.W.C.A. and working girls and because of her interest in them organized several hotels for their special benefit and use. s12CoND sEA1Es'rER orricsks Mildred Zahn ......................

HifY Rutlicrford, Although the activities of the HifY Club have not been broadcasted so widely, all the time the boys have been busy in the carrying out of their purpose- To create, maintain and extend through the school, high standards of Christian character. The club has had a supper and a meeting afterwards every available Wednesday night. This club is characterized in that all its mem' bers are especially interested in the business discussions which follow their suppers. Popuf lar local and outfofftown men have given inf teresting speeches. These speeches have dealt chiefly with early boyhood days, travels, and other experf iences of the speaker. The talks pointed out to the young men of the FIRST SEM ICSTER OFFICERS club the problems of life both in and out of school. Some of the outstanding features in the last year's calendar have been: the Rockford Freeport joint meets, the conferences, the spring and fall retreats, the fatherfson ban' quet, and initiation. The club was most fortunate last fall in securing Mr. Haggard, principal of the high school, as its faculty advisor. Mr. Hall, teacher of Religious Education, also assists the boys in their work. The club put on a week in which every English class discussed Clean Speech, Clean Scholarship, and Clean Habits. Campaign opened with speech byRev. Sayre.

Smith under the name of the Pasteur Club. Mr. Guy N. Smith, a teacher of science, has directed the members during the first year. Reports on current events of scientific inf terest, elementary principles of science, and interesting forms of nature comprised the prof grams for the Hrst semester. Those of the second half year included some entertainment also. Sketches, music, and short talks relieved the heavier diet of the previous semester. The talks given at the meeting were prepared by members who afterwards conducted a discussion of the subject. The primitive methods of Hrefmaking were demonstrated at one time. Manufacture of rub' ber goods, photography, and the eclipse were also FIRST SEKIESTICR OFFICERS brought up before the club. This organization is also interested in ex' perimenting with the practical sciences. Phof tography is being encouraged among the stu' dents. Several large pictures taken represent' ing scientific objects and freaks of nature have been framed and hung in the club room. The Pasteur Club has done much to further practical interest in science and to popularize the course offered. It has also opened up to Freshmen one of the most important of the many phases of school life-club activities-in which many of them would not have other' wise participated. In these days when Science holds so large a sway over all we do it is very interesting to see another group of high school students devoted to its study. Success to their venture.

The work from the beginning consisted of trips to woods, fields, parks, and gardens, winter meetings for the discussion of biologif cal topics, picnics and parties for sociability, and special prof jects. The first president, Wilfcurd Johns, succeeded in grafting one kind of geranium on other kinds, and a tomato on a potato. The members are now compilf ing a list of nearly 400 native wild flowers, forest survey stud' ies, complete lists being made of trees on several wooded areas near Rockford, surveys giving kinds and number of OFFICERS FIRST sEMEs'rIiR trees in representative city block of Rockford, collection of ferns of Winiiebagtu County and photographing wild flowers in their native The society this year has sixty active mem' bers. A successful school party was sponsored by the club in November. One of the best programs was a play: ADream of a Botany Student on the Night Preceding the Final, staged by Virginia Anderson's committees. Every time the sixth hour notice announces a field trip for the Biology Club there are many who listen who wish they had the privilege of going along.

The Wireless Club Purpose: theories of To study the fundamentals and radio and wireless transmission and reception. The R.H.S. Wireless Club is one of the oldest clubs in school today. It was founded by a few fans interested in wireless about the time the band was making its first feeble at' tempt to produce music. The club was a live one, founded upon a live subject and for that reason it has endured. Now the Wireless Club is one of the school's leading organizations. The club's station, 9AEW,is equipped with a SO watt C.W. transmitter and a three tube regenerative receiver. Since the aerial has been reconstructed and a new counterpoise put up the club has been getting good results on the D.X. work.

Probably the most interesting phase that has been taken up is that of radio control. The theories of radio control have been covered and a few attempts to make practical applications have been made, The best of these is in the hands of Waltei' Nelson who has successfully demonstrated his hookfup several times. In connection with radio control, the club had a lecture and demonstration by the inf ventor of the principle. He was secured during the Palace Theater. A New feature of this year is the i'Radio Exf change. This is a student radio store operated by the members of the club. The purpose of the store is to give to the students a real radio service.

The Camera Club The Camera Club was reorganized this year through the efforts of Miss McEvoy, the face ulty supervisor. The object of the club is to further the inf terest in photography and its application. Diff ferent topics discussed include the printing, developing, and enlarging of roll films and plates, flashlight, portraiture, commercial and comic photography. The equipment of the club is one of the most extensive in any school. A professional printer and enlarger is accesible for use in making prints and enlargements. The Camera Club, aside from being very interest' ing in its projects, also affords a practical sideline as there are always times taught how to compound chemicals to obtain the many different and beautiful results pos' sible in obtaining thorough development. The laboratory for camera work is in a room ad' joining room 353. Members have taken hikes to different places of beauty and also have photographed the many scenes that present themselves. The meetings are held every Tuesday afterf noon in room 353. The club has many persons who are well' known in school activities. The president, Thelner Hoover, has done much in the line of photography. A goodly share of the photography of this book was contrif f buted by him.

Through Mrs. Neidhardfs supervision and high ambitions, the Glee Clubs are able to stage an operetta every year. Much credit is also due to Mr. Leslie Correthers, who assisted Mrs. Neidhardt. The performances are often ref peatecl because of the public demand and enthusiastic ap' proval of those who see them. OFFICERS FIRST SEMESTER During the year the club Sang for numerous programs, sometimes combining with the boys' Glee Club. One of the most important of these programs was the Christmas concert given in the High School Auditorium. This is also an annual event. It also gave the first school party in the Boys' gymnasium, a balf loon party. The members of the Girls' Clee Club are the most talented singers in the school and are always willing to do their share in school activities. Cne of the very enjoyable assemblies of the year was pref sented by the combined Glee Clubs. The only regret the school has about this club is that it does not appear more often as it has never given a program that failed of approval.

This year it was a Spanish play called Captain Crossbonesf' Because of its real merit and splendid interpretation, it was one of the events of the school year. Mrs. Sarah D. Neidhardt, the faculty ad' visor and director of the club, justly deserves a great deal of credit for and popularity. December 5, the club sponsored an evening party in the gymnasium which was highly success- ful and thoroughly en' joyed. The students at the Roosevelt junior High the club's success . W . .

The Glee Club gave a joint assembly with the Girls' early in the second semester. They chose songs which were very popular with the student body. The dramatization of one of them by John Sabin and Philip LaPointe made a great hit. In March, the club assisted in a program given for the dedication of the new Herman These are only a few of the things that the Boys' ' Clee Club have done durf ing the past year.

The Qrchestra In 1918, Mr. Bornor with only twelve players started to build up an orchestra. Now after seven years of real work, he has an or' chestra of more than fifty members, one that is a credit to the High School. Aside from practicing three time a week the orchestra played for many programs durf ing the year. It assisted at a Christmas prof gram given by grade school children, playing The Messiah as a special number. lt gave an assembly at the junior High School and also one at the High School. One of the most successful afternoon parties during the year was a Halloween Masquerade ' party sponsored by the orchestra. Its annual concert was its next step with the banquet soon following. The concert is the climax FIRST SEMESTER OFFICERS of the orchestra's work for the year. Many diflicult selections are mastered during the year which are presented at this time. The orchestra is highly praised for its asf surance, its definite attack, and almost prof fessional finish. Its technique and expression are exceptional. While Mr. Bornor and the orchestra itself feel that there is much to be improved, the school is more than satisfied and proud to have such an organization. One of the most prominent events of the school year is always the annual banquet and dance. Members of the orchestra and alumni look forward to it because ' ' ' they remember the origin' ality and k'pep of former ones. This year it took place in the gymnasium of the Junior High School. Ivlr. Bornor never seems to run out of new ideas. SECOND SEMESTER OFFICERS Wendell Lells ............,,.,........

Xl'll7, DRVM NIAJOK The Band is without doubt, not only the most popular organization of the school, but it also works the hardest and does the most for us. Its strict rules and requirements make it possible for only the best players and finest boys of the school to become members. The band has taken part in countless activf ities during the past year. It started right out at the football games and backed our team. Its formations and music on the field between games raised enthusiasm and loyalty in the rooters. It spurred on the school spirit among the students and helped draw them to the big prefgame rallies. It added to the thrill and excitement of the basketball games. The band spent much time in giving valuable assistance to the R.0.T.C. in their drills, demonstraf tions, and public appear' ances. Early in the year the band gave short concerts in assemblies, on Defense Day it marched in the parade, in November it assisted a Luther League NELSON, Dalai Xlaiox ' The Band concert, and February 14 it played at the junior High School for the ParentfTeachers' Association. january 25, the band gave its annual conf cert, which was attended by a great many of the townspeople in addition to the students. The band has certainly done its part for the Stadium Drive. Aside from pledging to buy one hundred seats, the band is planning for SL Stadium Drive Concert sometime in Ivlay. Is it any wonder that Rockford High School is proud of such an organization? The band has good times, too. This year's annual band banquet was a great success. Many old members and alumni attended and made the occasion a real reunion. Mr. Haight, the direc' tor, has worked for years in building up the band to what it is. He is spendf ing much time with the Junior High School band which is very promising. Everyband boyis proud to be a member of such a high grade organization, l93l 5 I 2 i I W w 2- X fn? .

The Stock Judging Team The agricultural department annually puts teams into competition in various contests, the number of contests depending entirely upon the success of the team in the successive contests. There is one dairy team and also one fat stock team, each composed of three men and an alternate. The first contest was held during the spring term at Dixon, Illinoisg this was the district contest and included about one hundred boys from high schools in this district. Rockford won this contest, scoring the three highest men. This victory entitled the teams to enter the state contest given by the University of Illif nois at Urbana after the close of the school year. Richard Picken of the stock judging NIERIBFRS l . X'l' STOCK TFAKI Richard Pickcn Edward johnson Glen Cunnninus Nlillon fanipbcll - team won third place in the fat stock judging event scoring 278 points out of a possible 300. The team failed to place in the finals. Paul Bainbridge scored 195 points out of a possible ZOO in the dairy cattle event, which enabled him to enter the final contest as an individual. Other members of the team scored: Stanley and Lloyd Fagerstrom 138. In the finals of the allfaround stock judging contest Rockford was represented by Richard Picken and Glen Cummings. They made a perfect score on two rings of hogs early in the contest but were eliminated from the finals. Paul Bainbridge was tied for first place as an individual in the judging of dairy cattle and represented Rockford in the finals. Teams will again be en' tered in contests this spring.

Harbourt the debating team work was reorganized this year. Call was made for candidates in January and very promising material responded. The plan was to debate according to the regulations of the Illinois High School Def bating League. The local team was assigned Freeport whose debaters failed to qualify. Later independent arrangements were made to debate with Evanston and Austin High Schools. Debates were held March 27th in Rockford and Austin, the affirmative going to Austin. Rockford lost its debate to Austin by a 2-1 decision. In the negative team won from Elgi1l's affirmative in a 2 to l decision. This closed the season. Prospects for next year's debating teams are excellent as only one Senior 's lost to the teams. The choice of Ralphae Yalden as class orator indicates the brilliant work he did on the teams. Those who heard Raymond Froehlich and Edward Haight look forward to the contests next year. Mr. J. A. Harbourt of the history depart' ment has served as coach of the team. Mr. Haggard has shown a very lively interest in the teams and in debate work in general. Resolved, that the Saint Lawrence River Ship The question: debate with Evanston the ' local school carried off the honors with a Zeal deci- sion. April 20, Rockford's affirmative team lost to Elgin by a 3 to O decision.

NPZGATIVIQ 'HQAM Etlward Haight Anne Ki-ndall t Robert Traver S-:cnc S--PUBLICATIONS 1 1 The Drop O' Ink Toward the middle of the first semester, November to be exact, the newly formed Rah Authors' Club decided to sponsor the publication of the Drop 'O Ink, a magazine to be used as an outlet for literary talent. The first thought was to emphasize only creative work as a whole, throughout the school. At the Illinois High School Press Association Convention held in Urbana in November it received honorable mention. At the Central The Shortly after the opening of school in Sep' tember, the Owl Stal? launched its subscripf tion campaign. It was quite successful, since it obtained 1250 signatures, an increase of SOC? over last year. This year a new custom was inaugurated, that of issuing pins, consist' ing of owls with R.H.S. printed across them in raised letters, to those members of the staff turning in a specified amount of work. The following members of the Owl Staff received Owl pins: john Adams, Dagmar Ahlgren, Lucille Beushausen, Burt Canfield, Paul Casf sidy, Catherine Culhane, Bruce Dennis, Mary Frances Foster, Grace Goff, Herbert Horwitz, George Kreker, Maye Johnson, James Mc' Interscholastic Press Association Convention held in Madison in December it won a third class rating. There have been some very good contributions to the magazine this year, but perhaps the best was a poem by Marjorie Davis, entitled The Gypsy Lass, which was later published in the isGlCHI11iq a magaf zine containing the best bits of high school verse in the country. Owl Pherson, Doris Morgan, David Morrison,Robf ert O'Neal, George Nichols, Mamie Robinson, Evan Rutherford, Virginia Burk Smith, Diana Williams, Paul Wilsoii, and Paul Wollstadt. The Owl was entered in competition at the Illinois High School Press Association Convention which was held at Knox College, and there received first rating in the News' paper Makefup Contest. One of the best pieces of work carried on by the Owl was the offering of prizes for selling seats during the Stadium Drive. So much for the thirtyfhfth successful year in the Owls history. The Annual The Annual is the culmination of a year's efforts on the part of the Annual Staff to prof duce a yearfbook of which the staff and the school as a whole may be justly proud. The Annual of 1924, edited by Alta Lace with Howard Ferguson as business manager, was one of the best,if not the best, yearfbooks ever issued by Rockford High School. It was en' tered in the three aforefmentioned Journalism Meets, capturing first place in the Annual Craftsmanship Contest in the Illinois High School Press Association Meet sponsored by Knox College, and receiving honorable men' tion in the State Contest held at Urbana. In the National Convention at Madison, our An' nual was rated as one of the seven best in the nation. The Annual of 1925 may feel well satisfied with itself if it meets with the success encountered by the Annual of 1924. fiooj in - 'Lvfbffffi1fi2?f u 1, nf Q- Q 'A -2. : -,, A, M' . 7 af-in 597'-7 I HQ 'iff' pf vb,, ww T YA 1 ff F1 , A:r :'f2 ' f:q,?ffm'Q,:42 m if 4 res?-w aff-5ff f-ff?

They wish they were Freshmen! They have a swaggering air of importance. They feel selffconscious, not imporf tant at all. There is no one older to look up to and admire, and it is not much fun looking down. One feels that they are a little sad. They really are! They are thinking: This is the last time we'll make out electives, last time We'll have the thrill of the lirst day, last time for every' thing. And so they determine to make it the best. They appreciate more every little event of school life and they are storing away many treasured memories to always keep with them. L 1 v 1 if '44 23 P 1 Q ls- g-1 ig., .,- ,- - A .

We soon acquired the nonchalant air so characteristic of Sophomores and spent another busy year not claiming the spotlight l ' very much perhaps, but providing a most suitable background for upperclassmen. Then, as juniors, we chose joe McCoy for our leader, had our own junior Party and put up keen competition for all honors. Then suddenly we found ourselves Seniors and realized that it was for us to be the example and furthermore we realized that this being our last year, we must cram it full of pleasant memories. The calendar marks the month of September and , the curtain rises. We see Cur Class a trifle puzzled to decide just what appearance to presentvsophistif .-XXNOUXCFNIFNT COKlRII'I l'IiIZ cated, sweetly benign, or indifferent. We strike the correct attitude unconsciously and are soon ready to meet the greatest obstacles. Before long we have a class meeting where we choose David Jarrett for our 1 stage manager with Verna May Loving as assistant, and Marsh Lawton, business manager. We breathe, Let's go. Our spirit dominates every position of the school. For example we poke our heads into Room 5, fof course we mean 2251 home of the Cwl. Certainly, there is David Morrison of our own class who is directing his own little scene. We see him mop his brow, labor over numerous papers, hand them out to ye Associate Editors, dictate an editorial to Lucille Beushausen, stenographer, and demand Where are the ads? -all this taking place nearly simultaneously as nearly as we can make out. Whereupon, Burt Can' field dashes in the required ads saving the day. We skip a few days and next see the room on the following Friday. Now the room is overflowing with young people. They are engaged in the process of folding Cwls. We look more closely and see that that black' haired heroine is Ruth Remsburg, the little marceled ingenue is Peggy Stuckey and some of the other at' tractive lasses are Florence Seddon, Margaret Hutch' ins, and Grace Paulson. We look for the heroes and discover none others than Vernie Hendrickson, Ralsf ton Rundquist, and Oscar Fredriksen. Maye Johnson is giving them their cues and Paul Wilson sits im' portantly in the back of the room flourishing his pen PROGRAM comnrriin over his check book. The lightweight team makes what is termed an effective entrance led by Captain Toddy Countryman. They present a thrilling spectacle and bring another victory to the glory of old R.H,S. They make way for the heavies who led by Joe McCoy with many prominent DECORATION COMMITTEE Qs? 1 f 1 18:1 gf-,-.Liss 3. , , -.s..,C.m,,.3,,..i,.,., ,,-5, H PQLQQ1 -, -'Q gwffh , '. ia' .-,, J ff-1. ..

There are many bright spots in the bleachers. We hear Lola Willis, Rosy Tull, and Thelma Carlson, cheering lustily. Further on we spot Astrid Gustafson, Marf garet Ware, Frances Hills, Bernice Hoover, and Elizabeth Bridgland. Ah! What would those worshiped athletic heroes do without the support of such feminine inspiration? We come back to school for our next scene. We are in the Audg it is assembly day and we see Raphael Yalden, also of the debating team, pref siding over Group 1. If we wait until the next one, we will observe that Gladys Shaw has charge of that. Then, the second stage manager is chosen, it must not be forgotten. Our class chooses Bruce Dennis for that position and picks the drum major of the band for his assistant, Gordon Nelson and Russell Smith for business manager. The iirst thing these able leaders do is to stage a Senior party. And what a party! Can you ever forget those springflike decorf ations with the jade green and silver colors of the class predominating? And the peppy music and - -fm pretty gowns and laughing voices and the original grand march? RING AND PIN COKINIITTEE - 1 For additional examples of our ability as leaders, we invade some organizations. A.B.L., that honored literary society, included EdnaWilliams better known as Eddie, and Catherine Culhane, as presidents. Other senior officers were Eva Arnquist, Virginia Anderf son, and Genevieve Cotta. Drama president this semester is Lola Coppins, also society editor of the Owl, and French Club head is Marie Allen of the Annual Staff. HifY Club, that organization of such high rank is found to be led by lvlyron Gilmore, sen' - - ior, and oh! so many more clubs have senior leaders. t'i.E.xxVUi' COMMITTEIE We now regard that new club of Rab Authors who have untiringly bent their efforts to produce a magazine called A Drop 'O Ink every six weeks. ' A -- 1 We proudly point to the fact that Marjcirie Davis is editor of that publication, and Ellen Kimball presif dent of the club. The staff contains many seniors. But here we are, almost done and we haven't even mentioned the basketball squads nor the band, and orchestra and have left out many names that we'd like to include. Now there's Kirk King, for instance, and Stuart johnson, and Sadie Behr, and Irva Rankin, and Alice Anderson, Herbie Halstead, Oscar Fred' riksen, Wilbert Dickinson, Wilma Long, and oh well, , I we'd like to use the whole senior voting list. Every' RITFRESHMENT COfXIXII'I l'I2E one is worth special mention. But there is an end to even a newspaper editor's endurance, and also there is a limit to Annual space. Therefore, we make our bow. We Seniors have played our parts to the best of our ability and we are now called to another stage to play. But before we go we give three loud cheers for R.H.S. and the faculty for the fun they have allowed us and the knowlf edge that they have imparted to us. And we hand down our good wishes to the Junior Class. May they likewise succeed! ?3igj,':1i f I we . fiN44-.1g,,t:Q 3 '..'9 5.Q5E,.-,?3.i.1fQ'p'4 '--fs :ai . fii'SSsf T1 J'Q14s.,:gg,w::sLm2-??!F?E?fxi:g1v?f221vfZrQ1.5913-f-Jt'r+? f1i9j r w . 1, ' ' - , figmj' Tom Harrison Abney john Alexander Harry Venus Industrial Course lfotmtlwztll, 3. 4.

Harold LeRoy Sanders 'LSlim Mixed Course llarold always has the most smug smile on his face. just like some smooth, slick business man that deals in gold bricks who has just sold some oil stock to an old hhick' in Perkins- ville. Then, again, since Slim says ht-'s interested in sports, that self-satisfied smile may be the result of some exceptionally good scores that he has made. Earl Francis Schaad Commercial Course Whenever a subject is brought up for debate, Earl dehnitely takes one side or the other, and he is sure to voice a worth- while opinion.

She was taken into several clubs, and just to show that she is for us-didn't you hear her cheer at the basketball games this winter? npeg.. Mixed Course If We were to decide Peg's career, we would suggest that she go on the stage. When she can entertain a whole class of extremely hlase and sophisticated Seniors in R.H.S, what couldn't she do to the average uneducated theater-goer? She is really a regular clown. We know though that she can be serious when occasion demands such a person. Helen Mae Smith Smith Mixed Course Spanish Club, 3.

Sarah Donelda Stiles Sally Classical Course Amazons, l, 2: A,B.L., 4: Seco Club, 4. W'e wonder if Sally is to be pitied or possibly envied, Sarah is one of two girls in a Trig Classfand of course all thc rest are boys. Oh, it's a shame, isn't it, Sally? Sally might occasionally be called quiet and reserved, but not all the time.

Loreen lives in Harlem Township. and has found some unique ways of transportation between home and school, Leona Juliet Strot ..Le..

We can't blame the boys for giving so much of their time to Peggy. Anne Surwill Anne Mixed Course Amazons, 2, 3, 45 Life Saving Corps, 3, 45 Rab Booster Club, 3. Here's a young Amazon. Anything pertaining to athletics- page Anne. Anne is pretty much of a fish but otherwise and in other places-never. Ruth Cecelia Swanson Louie Mixed Course Dickens, Club, l, 25 French Club, 25 Lambda Kappa. Although Ruth is perfectly contented with the modern world, she loves to read a thrilling book and imagine herself as one of the characters. Perhaps it is June in Venice and the song of the gondolier can be heard across the waterg or better yet, the scene is in a robber's den and the hero enters just in time. Helen Marie Swenson Mixed Course Drama Club, 35 Rab Authors' Club, 4. Has Helen learned to be a rising young authoress for the Drop O' Ink because she has such a fondness for reading? We've wondered if we could become authors if we started on the road to more Book Report Credits. Helen not only likes to read but she's ready for any fun that comes along. ttHOWyw- Commercial Course An ideal sportsman is one who thinks not only of his own team, but also of the other, This is Howard's definition. It not only applies to athletics, but also occurences in every- day life. Isn't it fine when a person can think thoughts and also live up to them? Verona Swenson ttveess Mixed Course Glee Club, 2, 35 Chorus. l, 4. Verona has rather a large assortment of favorite diversions. She names golf, dancing and studying, and we'll add another- singing.

This statement is made on reliable authority. Arthur enjoys hunting-a truly masculine sport. Elvie Elizabeth Thelen ..E1.. Commercial Course Spanish Club, Z, 3g Life Saving Corps, 3. We hope that Elvie will be a great swimming champion and cause Sybil Bauer, Gertrude Ebert, and Helen Wainwright to bite their finger nails in vexation some day. fMaybe she won't be able to do that, but she'll probably rescue many too- daring amateurs from the briny cleep. She has other interests, especially R.H.S. sports. W ! 9 Vguhif -7 EV' - ifgfsegitmiigsdgme .I Lisog ,V 'ffrx g , '- 'T'T.2- -'x2 s'1' oA'i '11-' T ' o f TTT?

The work he has done in drawing and in the shop shows that we may expect a great engineer of him in the near future. Clara Rosalyn Tull Rosie Mixed Course Student Council, 3: Biology Club, 4g History Pageant, Z. Rosie is very fond of all outdoor sports, and she does them unusually well. Perhaps golf is her favorite, but tennis is a close second. Rosalyn served on the Student Council for a term and offered many valuable suggestions. Alice Lucille Twomey ULU.. Commercial Course Amazons, 2, 3, 4: Drama Club, 45 Tri-Y. 3. 4: Life Saving Corps, Z, 3, 45 Chorus, 4. Weak hearts are caused by running up flights of stairs and along passages, so Lucille thinks. That is not all that causes weak hearts. however. Some boys are just naturally born with them. Lucille always moves at a very fast tempo. She needs no elevator for speed, but. of course. we d'nn't know anything about the weak heart.

S'all right, Haverly. size isnlt everything. Oliver Vivarttas Academic Course R.O.T.C., Z, 3, 4. Oliver has a smile and a disposition that seem to put him right with the teachers as well as make him popular among the students. He is a real genius when it comes to Physics or Chemistry, but he will blush if you mention it because he is modest and unassuming. Helen Marguerite Walker npugglets Mixed Course Latin Club, 25 Rab Booster Club, 3. A crowd and a joke, several giggles, and up pops Helen's head.

Francis, fearing for the downfall of our 'fglorious nation,': takes a rather broad and gloomy view of the waning interest in domestic science shown by modern girls. He docsn't preach about the good old days of our grandsires, but we suspect him of preferring the sturdy comforts of home life to the glamour of society.

Eddie seriously thinks Freshies should be impressed with the dignity and height of the Seniors. She need not worry. No Freshman could win football R's the way she does. She might be taken as a Freshie for size, but her eyes save her. Roy Vernon Williams Shorty Mixed Course Football: Basketball. Roy made a name for himself in football this year, and will evidently continue doing so after he leaves high school. He demands much respect because he is so far above most of us.

Helen has said that her attention is not attracted by anyone, who talks on more than one thing at a time. W'onder what that one thing is? Helen does not have to talk to attract our attention as her presence is all that is needed. Helen is a part of the school administration as she serves us in the library and the book room.

As Everyboy and Everygirl vis' ualize the parts they are to take among this group, they are influenced by the success or failure of these alumni. They are eager to achieve success, and to bring, as these others before them, honor to Rockford High School through their service to the world. Another strong influence upon their future character is the guidance ref ceived from the faculty.

O. C. Blackrner was the first principal of the East Side High School, folf lowed byProfessorFreeman who also filled the position of Superintendent of Schools, remain' ing in the capacity for twentyfone years. George S. Lyons was the first Principal of the West Side High School, succeeded in turn by Professors J. H. Blodjett, and A. W. McPherf son. At this period the two high schools were united into one Central School. It was necesf sary to secure temporary quarters while plans were being made for a new building. The school board leased from Mrs. Mary P. Starr, the second floor of 113 West State Street at the rental of 5300.00 a year. The school opened September 1, 1884, with an enrollf ment of one hundred and Hfty pupils. The high school was completed in 1885 by David Keyt, at the cost of twentyfiive thousand dolf lars. The formal dedication of the Rockford High School was the event of March 18, 1886. The oldest existing organization in Rock' ford High School is our school publication, The Owl. It originated as a monthly pam' phlet and has since taken the form of a weekly. The ever present necessity for such a circular and its adaptability to changing conf ditions have kept it young while other organif Zations have come and gone. It was organized in 1890 by Elmer Bruner, Andrus jones, and V. J. Hall. In January. 1902, a Clee Club under the direction of Professor L. A. Torrens was started in the High School. It created a marked interest and enthusiasm in the school that has continued to the present day. The Clee Club, indeed, has been a credit to our school. The High School Orchestra is one of the finest institutions in our school. It began its existence in 1900 and has steadily developed into the present laudable organization. Since the Orchestra has been organized it has given a concert each year, which has pleased many people. To acquire for drawing the recognition she thought due it, Miss Brantingham organized the Art Students League. Within a short time the membership swelled to an enrollf ment of sixty persons. The pupils had not received training in this direction before, ex' cept in making time sketches once a week, and as a result of the extra practice, their work improved greatly. The Band is one way in which we keep our Alumni close to us, because each year boys who have played in the band come back and tell us of their experiences in college and uni' versity bands. apy b?

Reed, Lewis. Briggs, Klarberry. In the year 1907, the pressing need for a band was satisfied. It was organized under the directorship of Mr. T. Haight and has con' tinued under his supervision until the present time. We are profoundly indebted to Mr. Haight. The original demands were satisfied in some degree by a 35300 loan from the bank endorsed by Superintendent P. R. Walker, in contrast we have the present equipment worth, approximately, 55,000 Charter mem' bers of prominence are: Mr. Robert Williman, who has since played in practically all the best bands and orchestras in the country, Mr. Ritchie Dewey, the first R.H.S. band boy to qualify for the band at the University of I11if noisg Mr. Eugene Gary, now an attorney in New York, Mr. Sigfried Sandeen, a local singer, and Mr. Hughes, now of the Burr and Hughes Real Estate Firm. The R.H.S. Debating Society was organ' ized in 1909. It provided for the growing need for such an organization. Cn March 26th, a team composed of Messrs. Anglemire, Shanhouse, and Youngs, met and defeated a trio from West Aurora. The Girls' Glee Club was organized the first semester of 1912 under the direction of Mrs. Edward Pierce. Its first appearance was january 9, Parents' Night, when it gave an excellent program. Boys' and Girls' Glee Club staged, in 1918, their first operetta which was directed by Mr. Zook and Mr. Kittle. The leading parts of this operetta which was Priscilla, were taken by Marjorie Haskins and Howard Pearce. Since 1918 the Glee Clubs have given an an' nual operetta which has always met with much success. The Philomathean Literary Society was or- ganized in 1912 for the purpose of creating an interest in debating, and public speaking. The first president was Irving Brown. Mr. Paul Conklin, present critic of the Philomaf theans, was also a charter member. Debates were held with Elgin and LaGrange in which Rockford emerged the undisputed victor. The Philomatheans have been more or less active ever since and have great possibilities. The Camera Club was organized February 10, 1913. About forty attended the first meet' ing. The object of the club was to obtain pic' tures of everything interesting and to learn more about photography. Student participation in school management first appeared in 1916. The first act of Stu' dent Participation was taking charge of the library. A Library Board was appointed which was composed of students from every study hall. Two pupils took charge of checking up and sending the library admits back to the study halls. Student Council is another form of Student Participation. The boys and girls each have their own council. The first sign of an Athletic Association in Rockford High School dates back to 1886 when William Helm was President of the High School Gymnasium.

So little interest was taken in the gymnasium work that the indoor work was abandoned and given over to outdoor work such as football and baseball. This resulted in the first R.H.S. Athletic Association being organized on February 4, 1892, with Fred Rutledge as President. Under this new arf rangement R.H.S. put out her first football team, the team of '92. Each year from then on R.H.S. has been represented in athletics. In those early days because of the lack of competition our teams had to play college teams such as Beloit College. Not until 1902 did our Athletics begin to boom. This year a coach, Mr. Walker, was secured to lend the fellows a guiding hand. Rockford was now being represented by foot' ball, baseball, and track teams. The year 1905 was an unusually successful year for high school athletics. Two Rockford' ites, wellfknown at the present time, were leaders of the teams. Anthony Haines was captain of the baseball team and Harry Milne captain of the football team. In 1906 our basketball team won the State Championship repeating again in 1907. ' The year of 1911 was also honored by gaining both football and basketball chamf pionships of the State. The football team was captained by George Kitteringham, well known to all sport lovers of Rockford, and last year our lightweight coach. In the year of 1912 our head coach at the present time took over the job of building up teams to represent our school in athletics. The next few years saw the man in the coaching job changed. Mr. Beyer left and Frank Winters, now coach at Oak Park, step' ped into the task. The following year saw E. U. McDonald added to the staff. The years between 1912 and 1918 were years of building up. Only a championship here and there. In 1918 our city was hit by that terrible influenza epidemic, consequently the football season was not a great success. However, the football season was made up for by our basketball team featuring Ralph Baker, Rex Enright, and Skin Englund bringing home the State Championship. In 1921 Mr. Winters, our heavyweight coach and one of the finest men in the country, left us and E. U. McDonald took over the main job. Mr. Beyer returned again to be our lightweight coach. Still burning in our minds is the year of '23 when Louis Erickson, a wonder coach, took our basketball team to the State Tournament and then to the National Tournament where we were only defeated by Kansas City in the finals for the championship of the United States. Among the players who brought this honor to R.H.S. were Axel Nelson selected as AllfAmerican guard, Lulu Behr, Bob Reitsch, Fred Kullberg, joe McCoy, and Har' old Cleichman. M61 Af , 51583 Top Row--Dickinson, Regan, Marston, Squier, Waldo. Znd Raw-Carpenter. Knight, johnson, Lathrop, Keith. Wellfknown Alumni Among our well known Alumni is W. F. Dickinson. From the halls of R.H.S. he went to Madison where he received the B.L. and L.L.B. degrees. He then went to Chicago to practice law. Since 1910 Mr. Dickinson has been connected with the law department of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway Company. At the present time he is General Solicitor for the Company with headquarters in Chicago, in charge of the Law Department, General Claim Department, Real Estate and Tax Department and Surgical Department. He is the author of Third Edition of Hutchf inson on Carriers and also Pierce's Digest of Decisions Under Interstate Commerce Act. Mr. Frank Steward Regan is another well' known alumnus. He is Rockford's only grad' uate whose name is in the famous book, Who's Who In America, as he is noted nationally for his standing on low taxation. He has traveled from coast to coast visiting every state in the union and every large city, giving two lectures a day on the subject of low taxation, He is not only a brilliant orator, but also a clever cartoonist. Mr. Regan has been on the Chautauqua and Lyceum plat' form over twenty years. After leaving Rockford High School, An' son Marston attended Berea College, and Cor' nell University. He held the position as prof fessor of Civil Engineering in Iowa State College, Ames, Iowa, and is now Dean of Engineering there, a place he has filled since 1904. Professor Marston is pastfpresident of Iowa Engineering Society, VicefPresident of American Society of Civil Engineers, a mem' ber of Iowa State Highway Commission, of the Executive Committee of the American Society for Listing Materials, and of the Na' tional Research Council. During the World War he was a Major and later a Lieutenant Colonel of the Engineers in the U. S. Army. Upon graduation from R.H.S. Mr. G. K. Squier spent a year at Hillsdale College and then four years at the University of Illinois where he played varsity football for two years. Graduating in mechanical engineering just as the World War broke out he went into First Officers' Training Camp where he was commissioned First Lieutenant and then sailed for France. After serving eighteen months in France, he was promoted to a Captaincy. Returning to this country as a casualty he passed through seven hospitals. Upon discharge from the Fort Sheridan hos' pital he entered the employ of the Emerson' Brantingham Company at Rockford. He left the employ of the EmersonfBrantingham Company in December 1923 and has been with the Standard Oil Company Und., since that time. He is at present the Assistant to the Chief Engineer for the Detroit Division of the Standard Oil Company. Since graduating in 1906 from the Univerf sity of Illinois, Mr. K. D. Waldo has followed fa f L 1 S93 .mil-f.. the teacher's profession. Mr. Waldo is prinf cipal of East High School of Aurora, one of our friendly rivals on the athletic field. We wonder if Mr .Waldo doesn't often wish to renew a little of his old time spirit for R.H.S. and start rooting for it. Mr. Waldo is a lover of boys, having two of his own he is very able to study boy problems and characteristics. This probably accounts for his popularity with the student body of East High School of Aurora. Frank Carpenter is now one of the best known architects in this part of the country. He has gained this reputation by a great deal of studying. After completing his course in architecture at the University of Illinois, he studied in Europe. Since his return from Europe he has been engaged in his chosen profession in Rockford. He is a member of the American Institute of Architects and VicefPresident of the Illinois Society of Arch' itects. He is also President of the Rockford Society of Architects. Mr. Knight writes: Having served as an Editor of both the Owl and the Annual, I know something of the troubles of getting in the material. As we look over Bill's record, we do not wonder that he is State's Attorney at the present time. Bill received his A.B. degree at Dartmouth College, L.L.B. degree at Harvard College and was admitted to the Bar in 1911. He remained in Rockford until the World War broke out, entered it and afterwards became the commander of Walter Craig Post of American Legion. Al- THE ALUMNI The 39th annual meeting of the Rockford High School Alumni Association was held june 21, 1924. This Association has increased in number during the last few years. At the meeting June 21, 1924, there were over five hundred members present, which is said to have been the largest meeting ever known by this orf ganization. Among the SOO members the Alumni were pleased to greet the oldest living member, Mrs. Aurelia Towns, who graduated with the class of 1862. At this meeting the officers for the follow' ing year were chosen: Rudolph Ryden, class of 1920, was chosen president, Richard Mott, ways congenial and wanting to do a good turn for someone else, Bill was very popular with the Buddies Victor M. Johnsons education in books ended after he graduated from Rockford High School for he immediately entered business with his father, S. A. Johnson. In four years he became secretary of the Skandia Furniture Company. Later he entered the Free Sewing Machine Company where he became General Manager. Mr. Johnson has always been inf terested in the civic affairs of Rockford. He has been a member of the Board of Trustees of the Second Congregational Church and of Rockford College, and is now honored by the office of International President of Kiwanis. Robert Lathrop graduated from Rockford High School in the class of 1888. On leaving high school he entered the University of Wisf consin, where he studied two years. He went from Wisconsin to Cornell and from there to the American University. After completing his study there he entered a law school from which he graduated in 1894. Mr. Lathrop began practicing law in Rockford in 1894, and today he is one of the best known lawyers in the city. Cne of the very few alumnae given a place in our Annual this year is Mrs. Belle Emerson Keith, now a resident of Rockford. After graduating from Rockford High School, she attended Wellesley College for a year and later entered Art School in Munich and Paris. Her greatest ambition is centered in the eduf cational welfare of the children of Rockford. ASSOCIATION from the class of 1919, vice president, Louis Behr, who was president of the class of 1924, was chosen secretary and Frederick Hyer, 192O,was chosen representative on the athletic field committee. The outgoing president, Williston Reckhow, welcomed the new presif dent and congratulated the new members on their good scholastic standing. After all the business of the Association was transacted there was a program followed by a party in the gym. There were many contests open that evening among which was one for the bald headed men. A prize was given to the youngest bald headed member, Ralph Cotta. Q 'QWWIE' 'N m? it 'fir J.: matiik-f fiffa. N ,I -v 'K X J 5 L.

Pleas ure and fun are interrningled with work and study in just the right prof portion. Their enthusiasm, sparkling eyes, and gay laughter are signs of some invigorating force back of their responsibilities that keeps them inter' ested and earnest in their efforts. The few moments between classes, before and after school, even occasionally during recitations, with youth and companionship as aids, keep alive the spontaneity, energy, and zeal of Every' boy and Everygirl as incentives in the more essential and difficult phases of high school life.

VOL. XLVIII WASHINGTON, A. B. C. No. 6 7 Country Roused by Sen. Lett s New Bill President Plays Poker as Politician Plans to Kill Giant Summer Industry By Percival McOnion, the Worst Political Writer in the History of Lawn Tennis WASHINGTON, May 17, I935' fExtra Specialj Washington and the entire United States have been thrown into an uproar through the pre' sentation in the Senate today of a bill to prohibit use of B.V.D's in the United States and its pos' sessions. If the bill is passed, thous' ands of men in the country will be doomed to a hot life this sum' mer and will perhaps suffer fatal effects of burns. The bill was introduced by Sen' ator Wendell Letts, of Illinois, who is understood to have the backing of such notables as Sena' tor Donald McDermaid of Urn' phrah, Kans., and Senator Edwin Foster, of Snowball, New Jersey. Both gentlemen have evidence which will lead to the conviction of Bruce and Burt Canfield, pro' prietors of the Sunny Italy Hard' wear Underwear Company, Rome, Alaska. Why should these abominable things continue to predominate American life? Letts inquired in his speech. If winter comes, can spring be far behind? No, is the answer. Therefore, let us return to the simple life. Our winter red Hannels, worn for years by the four bears, should satisfy us. Russ Worker Here Added impetus has been given to the move by the arrival in this country of Sir Vincent Yankavich, Russian Bolshevik worker, who has been in the land of the reds, crimsons, and carmines for several years, or since he was chased from the U.S. by Gunnard Johnson, police commissioner of Rockford, Ill., in 1926. With his usual apopletic dignity, President Gordon Nelson, who was elected on a Plumber'Loafer ticket last year, has scorned pro' posals to wash Yankavich's face or throw him out of the land, knowing he is a hard man to handle from seeing him perform on athletic teams at Rockford High School, where the president succeeded in piling up 7M credits in five years. A leading yellow newspaper, the Herald Tribunal News, of Chi' cago, edited by B. W. Dennis, is bitterly opposed to the campaign. David Morrison, his hated rival and head of the Weekly Scotch Imbiber, has joined forces with him, for Morrison says you need warm clothing when going out with Eskimo women found in Rockford. This is collaborated by Russell Lee, leader of the Monroe Center Terrible Times sym' phony orchestra, of which Evan Rutherford and Dave fMarcelj Jarrett are the most despicable players. Dennis and Morrison were brought together by Miss Verna May Loving, consulate for the Afghanistan government in Chi' cago. She was assisted by Mr. Russell Smith, of the Midnight Curled Hair and Mattress Com' pany, of Little Big Falls, Minnie HawHaw, Mex. Social Notes Prominent among Washington society this season is Miss Lola Coppins, said to be the reason why two Chicago editors are at war and why they go to the capitol city every week end. Miss Ruth who still wears a Wis' pin, returned recently with a new assortment and Ruffles. With her Florence Hooker and Williams, who are en' Carlos Countryman, Remsberg, consin frat from Paris of Rouges were Miss Miss Edna gaged to wealthy New York stock broker. One of the largest ready'to'put'on clothing dispensaries in New Mil' ford is being run by Miss Margaret Stuckey, assisted by Ralston Rund' quist, official cake taster, and Harold Baker, made famous by his saying, 'LHandsome is as Hand' some Ain't. Another woman elected to the house of representatives last fall was Miss Irva Rankin, well known novelist and short story writer, whose most recent works include 'Stadium Standing Room and The Diverting History of Albert Monti, Mayor of Freeport. Two Olympic champions, Miss Alice Anderson, hi diver, and Miss Zaida Carse, marathon fox trotter, arrived here today to see the presi' dent. With them were Marsh Lawton, Stoker on the steamship Tuxedo and a fair companion, Miss Doris Morgan, literary critic for the Winnebago Paper Cut' ter. This edort is edited by Kirk Honk King, well known trainer for the Rockford High School yodeling team. All Washington is going to the Hagerman ballroom every nightg this is operated by George and Ernie, two well known ballet dancers.

An Article of Enlightenment for Some Classes and One of Encouragement for Others By Prof. Thaddeus Dilpickle, of the College of Hard Knox, Galesburg, Nebr. Right at the start, before I have said anything else, and preceding all I will say in the following para' graphs, I will state without fear of contradiction and with little or no hesitation that the question named in the title to this article is one which has been puzzling children, adults, and other feeble minded persons since Caesar led his vicf torious spaghetti sniifers into the suburbs of I.ondon.which my dear readers, occurred long before you or I can remember more than a few indistinct details, But after having sneaked for years through alleys in the lower east side of New York and Seventh street and microscoping no less than 77 kennels in all parts of the world, I am prepared to discuss for you this allfimportant question: Do Dogs Have Fleas or Do Fleas Have Dogs? The Dog does not have the Flea. That is settled, for the Ca' nine would have as little as pos' sible to do with said stunted grass' hopper. Therefore the flea must have the Dog, else why have Fleas, since the time when Sahara Desert was fish pond and Fords Felleth apart even as they do now, been found flying about with Dogs on their backs? Each flea has two dogs, as I will prove to you. There is one at the end of the right leg and another at the end of the left leg. For in the language of the streets, and there are many streets, the pedal extremities of any animal, Man included. are called Dogs. Therefore, Fleas have Dogs, and Dogs do not have fleas. Thank you, esteemed readers. if any there be who have survived this out' burst. It has been a torture to write this, for I once4I once- Oh I cannot say it without my typewriter breaking downgonce I too, had FLEAS. It was in a shell hole at an oyster beach, in the war of 1812, when I fought alongside of Major Martha Wash' ington at Waterloo. yew '.

MacMontskig Undisputed Champion Pie Inhaler of North America, Inc., What makes a successful coach? Many have interviewed famous coaches to get the secret of their success, so I decided to ind the secret of the success of Charles A. Beyer, coach of the Rabs. I found him seated at his desk in his office dressed in a pair of checkered golf knickers and he wore a pair of the finest logging shoes with inch long hob nails in them. He glanced up at me when I entered, I guess all important coaches have the same grouchy and glaring features. Just as if they would like to snap and growl at everyone. Well I stated my mis' sion and like all coaches he bright' ened up right away. Coaches like to tell how they out-smarted and put the skids on some other coach. Well, he began, First you have to know how to handle the boys. You have to humor them. If some boy comes to me: we'll take Gunny johnson for instance, our socking Taxicab full back- He came to me the night before the Elgin game and told me he couldn't come out to practice that afternoon because he had a date with his sweet mama. I said, 'Gunny go ahead and have a good time and stay out as long as you like. You're only young once and l don't want to see you disappoint 9 as Q an , - , 9 :iii '-11.2-gf. , ' fre: mm . f 4: , 1 4 Q U 1 To-is wr: 112.1 Ruianq Suwsiivf BEEN MADE' Q IN ORDER To hee? ur P wma -me scans that sweet Sheba of yours. See, said Beyer, If I had got mad, which I don't usually do, and I had bawled him out and given him the coach's usual line about and All Points West training rules, he probably would have become very angry and wouldn't have played the game that he did. Well that's only one of the few things we coaches have to contend with. Each player has some favorite hobby or like and a coach has to be mighty careful. Now take our Captain foe McCoy, before every game he has to have a big piece of pie and cake and I -A Q ,W 14Z7' ff 1 42: :xx 2 - ' j Ein don't discourage it. He plays a whirlwind game and if I refused to let him have his pie and cake they would make him look like mud. Now take a man like Gob' bling Yankavich, the best running back in the conference. lt's all due to my psychological coaching. All I do with Yank is to tell him his girl won't date with him if he doesn't make 9 or 10 touch downs and he runs away from the whole team. Now I could go on and tell you a great deal about each one but some of them will be here next year and I'm not giving out any information about them. Well, I shot the next question at him: What about your trainf ing rules? Well, and he laughed, That is probably the greatest secret of my success. Most coaches lay down strict training rules, but not me. I tell them to go out and forget about the game of football and have a good time because to think about football makes them nervous. Any hour between 12:00 and 12:30 gives any of our boys plenty of sleep and pep for any game. Now as to food, anything they can lay hands on is the thing to eat. Well, as to practice, that's another im' portant factor of coaching. Short snappy drills of about onefhalf hour a night, and not any long, tiresome signal drills and up and down the field till 7:30 at night. When we're out on the field pracf ticing, I never call a player down or bawl him out if he makes mis' takes, because they're too dumb to know why I am doing it. I tell him gently what's wrong and give him a few kicks to impress it on his pants, and a few more to help him go through the right motions. I reward the others accordingly and this creates a feeling of want' ing to do something and the team work develops. Now, as to picking players. That's a coach's hardest job, but I think I have discovered the secret of picking types and making footballers of them. 'LTake Spider Floberg the best fullback you never saw. Rangy and light on his feet. His success lies in being able to step over the opposition. But that's only one of his tricks. Watch him closely next year. Now the only reason Dutch Winters is a good tackle 'TT 77 'O' f. - Kayaks , ma j '1 Q' f 'lj KWII -'i1f,4Q I 'ME ' is because he looks more like an ape than the rest of the fellows.

H. S. Life As She Is Told By a Flapper Eyes of Flapper Fannie See Into Dark Corners and Find Scandals of School Tuesday, September 2-The lirst day. Found it isn't so much to be a newly created Senior when all the room numbers have been changed. Result seems to be a noticeable lack of the old cracks about lost and wandering freshies. The new principal made a big hit this morning when he talked to us. Wednesday, September 3-Set- tling into the old grind. Decided I must change my History class. Not a cute boy in it. Question- Will Miss Dobson consider that a good enough reason for changf ing ? Sweet Cat, only thirtyflive out for football. Thursday, September 4-We have the dandiest new principal, diary old beau, most accomodating one of the opposite species I've ever known, to tell the truth. Saw Joe McCoy today and he looked very contented with himself, but darling nevertheless. A1 Monti came before my view too, the only properly dressed boy in R.H.S. Sports the blue coat and grey trow. Friday, September 5-Fifty ambitious aspirants out for Owl staff, including a number of fresh' ies. Guess we're going to have a keen paper this year from the looks of things. There is a boy in my English class with the long- est eye lashes. I wonder who he is? Monday, September 8-When will we get our locker keys? Found Max's Rubin's books in our locker this morning. Three of us already using it so he was re- quested to move on. It's so crowded, a perfect cloud of books fall out whenever it's opened, yet Max gently explained that he didn't know it was occupied. And they send to Africa for ivory! Tuesday, September 9-Noticed that quite a few girls are running around flashing diamond rings- Mary Ann Zahm, Marjorie Baird, Mary Ann Peterson, Effie Erick' son, Eva Arnquist, and Marsh Lawton are among the number By Fannie Flapper, Class '25 who endanger our eye sight. Of course, we don't think it means anything except that their fathers got a raise but ......... Wednesday, September 1 0-To' day we made out program cards and hauled one around until the teachers had all signed them. I forgot the numbers of all my rooms, but managed to get it signed and lost it. It seemed so queer to think that for the fourth and last time I heard Miss Dobson giving directions about them. She let Mr. Haggard talk a minute too, to urge the boys to go out for football. Thursday, September 1 1-Went out to watch the boys practice football tonite. I'm glad to know there are so many boys who have real men's blood in them and not merely a lukewarm mixture. There are more who should be out tho, but have no time. Friday, September 12-Defense Day and half a day off-so we thought anyway until it was anf nounced that we must march or stay and study. Clever idea, cause neatly everyone marched. Monday, September 1 5-Thrills, saw Mr. Haggard in the hall today and he knew my name. That man must have a wonderful memory. Question: Why does Don Mac Dermaid go dashing off to Keith School every nite at fhreefthirtv? Doesn't he get enough education here?7? Tuesday, September 16- Thought this must be old clothes day or sump'n like that. Saw Bruce Dennis walking down the hall in an ancient old sweater and Sam Ditto came strutting into the aud wearing khaki trousers and a flannel shirt. Finally saw Wilma sporting a bungalow apron. She kindly explained, only an initiaf tion for 8f5f3. First assembly to' day. Rev. Fulton talked on Conf stitution in History and told about his travels. Awfully interesting only I didn't hear all of it 'cause I was studying my French. Wednesday, September 17- Every nite I see Ronnie Salisbury and John Wood studying on the river bank. They make the most touching picture of studious boy, hood. By the way, Ronnie will be a cute boy when he grows up. Thursday, September 18-Was noticing today that there certainiy is a good looking bunch of Junior girls this year-ought to hold a beauty contest, 'course we don't want to get in bad by committing ourselves but we would say that Cathie Thayer and Helen Gardif ner would cap the doughnuts. Friday, September 19-Most thrilling Rally today. Janice came over to make a talk. Oh yes, I found out the name of the cute boy in my English class, the one with the eye lashes, Russell Lee. Monday, September 22- Flunked flat in Latin today but it wasn't my fault. I just can't study 8th hour, no one could with all the whispering, stamping feet, whistling, banging books, and penny throwing, and the band practicing Smiling Thru from regions above. Tuesday, September 23-Band in assembly. Just to show how good they are they played several pieces at sight-Mr. Haight says they pick on the band when they can't get anyone else but wish they couldn't get anyone a little oftener. The band still gives me the biggest kick ......... Wednesday, September 24- Was most dreadfully ill all day in school and didn't know which way I was going. Teachers all are piling up work every day and I am beginning to think that six subjects are a few too many for a child my size and age. We got our lockers today and mine is not only right next to the oflice. but under the very eye of Miss Putman. Thursday, September 25-It happened today, A.B.L. initiation.

Some of our fair juniors, seem to be a pretty hard lot, take it from them. For more specific information in- quire of Helen Gardiner. Friday, September 26-Caught Ginny Smith in aud hall today. Hope Rollie doesn't get knocked too much for some of those ques- tions, that are still making 'em blush. Oh well, Rollie's big enough to take care of himself. Mondayyseptember 29-French Club this afternoon. Nothing much doing except Doris, our new president, appointed several committees with the assistance of Florence Hooker from the first row. Tuesday, September 30-Stew- art Riley in assembly today on Olympic games. Marsh, our new mayor, introduced him in a shaky voice-Marsh seemed kinda nerv- ous. Mr. Riley wasn't in the least tho,' and gave a short and snappy talk. F'heaven's sake, if you ever pipe the Prince of Wales, don't crane your neck at him, just look calmly indifferentg according to Stew the Prince will be much more impressed. Wednesday October 1-Cadet Sponsors were announced today: Helen Sowle, Lola Willis, Peg Reynolds, Myrtle Peterson and Thelma Phillips. The cadets sure know how to pick 'em. Alice Hoskinson gave me some rock tally today. Rock is not the word for it. Nearly choked trying to chew it in History and I know Miss Brown thinks I'm developing mumps. Alice was very generous, s'pose there were others suffering, too. Thursday, October 2-Was thrilled to discover that Dutch sits across from me in study hall. just to think I had never noticed it before. Friday, October 3-Was notic- ing Dot Lillis today.

Wednesday, October 8-Senior class meeting. Pola Negri with 'many blushes seconds his own nomination for vice-president. Graydon Lindskold gave me his noble opinion on these dog collars the girls are wearing- Girls are getting dumber every day. It's a disgrace to a good dog to wear its collar. Graydon seems kind of bitter against us. Wonder if someone just handed him the goldfish? Thursday, October 9-Junior class meeting-didn't attend but it was plainly audible, all over school. Tom Poole came into the aud today. He walked right past my desk and sort of smiled at me. I was so thrilled I couldn't study for nearly ten minutes. Tuesday, October 14-Orches- tra in assembly. So surprised to see Thelner Hoover in their midst, dreamily playing a. iddle. Who would ever think that T. B. was in the orchestra? The Devereaux Players presented the Barber of Seville this afternoon in the Aud. Big crowd, guess everyone liked it. I did. Wednesday, October 1 5-Started out to lunch today and was nearly knocked down in the rush over to the Boy's Club, Seems they have a grill over there where, if you lay down two bits you get all you want to eat. Soft place to park the filthy lucre, isn't it? It's nice but rather dangerous for the girls who are calmly strolling to the Palace of Sweets. Thursday, October 16--Dud Day showed me a pearl the size of a pin head which he carried around in his pocket, carefully wrapped in seven hankies. He found it in a clam and it cost five hundred berries. Seems sort of valuable to lug around. He let me touch it. Gently, with one finger. Noble Dud! Friday, October 174There's a boy in my English class, named Ralph B .... who uses strong lilac perfume. He carries the bottle around with him and refreshes himself by sniihng at it all the time. S' funny. Otherwise he seems strong, manly, and in good health. Monday, October 20-Election results published. Dave got Presi- dentg Verna May, Vice-Presidentg Doris, Secretaryg and Marsh Treas- urer. Seems a good choice, es- pecially Marsh. He ought to be a keen treasurer. For the juniors Clark Hamer landed first, and Cammie, Ianice's infant brother, is Vice-President. Les Lindsley, Sec- retary, and Peg Reynolds, Treas- urer. Tuesday, October 21-One of Miss Perego's classes gave a mor- ality play in assembly, Hunger. Enjoyed seeing Florence Buchanan joyfully try to scale a wall. Was initiated into junior Woman's Club. May I never have such another experience! Wednesday, October 22-I was nearly boosted from the fond in- stitution of learning today because Miss Dobson saw I.W.C. painted all over my neck. After an hour's chat f7????D about it with 'Peggy' Putman, I sauntered down to Miss Wray's room where she nearly knocked me cold slamming Green Soap on my throat-not s'good. Thursday, October 23-Sweet mama! Although it's only Thurs- day, October 23, this is the last day of school this week. Had as- sembly of course, and the orches- tra entertained us. Perry Anderson played a clarinet solo and-W sang two songs. The orchestra's great and as Mr. ?????? would say, 's abolishing this disgusting jazz. Is it? Not enough to make it dis- gusting.

'N I don't mean if. A.B.L. had a meeting after rally and Edna Wil' liams kept reminding us how glad we were to have our old faculty advisor with us. Wish she'd learn to use tact or tacks. Monday, October 27-I'll shout n' everything if this wasn't the best Monday ever, for luck. Usu' ally, my dear ole diary, it's my bug'bear. French Club had a meet' ing to'nite. Doris wasn't there because all the Presidents of Clubs had to meet in 240 with Mr. Hag' gard to discuss floats for the Lion's Club parade. Tuesday, October 28-Paint and Palette put on one of the funniest assemblies of the year. Funniest parts were the ones that weren't meant to be. Wednesday, October 29-Dear Diary, I have a secret. I am in love! His Hrst name is Oscar and his last name starts with F. I know it is real love at last 'cause my heart sort of flops every time I see him. Friday, October 30-More hap' pened today! Johnny boy sprung a History test, Vincent Yankavich thrilled us all in English with a selection of Lochinvar, loads of people bought a newsy Owl, and best of all there was a good rally. Elgin seems to be not so popular and the whole school turned out. I decorated for the Drama Club party and then the A.B.L. float for the Lion's Club parade. Heard we got a prize, too. The float wasn't so much, but oh! those Tuesday, November 4--The play went off great. The Philos were all there to see it. Everyone studied all day for exams and be' lieve me it's some work. I have French and Algebra tomorrow. Coughed and sneezed all day be' 'cause of the cold I caught riding on the A.B.L. float. Wednesday, November 5- Nothing but exams happening now. All the teachers are giving 'em and I feel like the last puff in the steam engine. Thursday, November 6-Thurs' day and a splendid assembly in which Mr. Tjaden, Miss Putman, Miss Langwill, and Miss Gummer' sheimerspoke on their trips abroad ffrom Rockfordj. Each one vied with the other as to wind and somewhat flowery descriptions. They all handed out a hot line though, and I'm hoping to get on a train n' whizz to all the places they talked about. Friday, November 7-Every time I look at Virginia A. or Ruth I vow that I will let my hair grow out. Now I really am going to, just in front and keep it shingled in back. It ought to be a bow wow. Monday, November 10-Some' how I don't remember much about today. It was just a haze of marks-big marks-slittle marks -crooked marks and straight marks-usually a small number first, followed by a larger one. First we get the marks n' boy, then what we get! HOME Au. ' gppp QKNRSE SURE u Friday, November 14-Large bug walked out on our table, dur' ing lunch. Wild commotion. Never knew Doris had such healthy lungs. Francis W. has an awfully cute girl. .Can remember way back when he was bashful concerning the fair sex, but how he has changed! Monday, November 17-Free' port downed us. Went to the game with a bunch of college girls who calmly chewed peanuts and gabbed while I choked with ex' citement and thrills. Isn't Monti simply divine? Tuesday, November 18-Edu' cational Talk in assembly. Rather stale stuff. Announcement made of Madame Butterfly to be given by San Carlos Company. Magnan' imous reduction of ten cents of' fered to all students buying tickets. Mr. Bornor is cute. Sang K'K' Katy and Smiles. Hot Grandma! Wednesday, November 19-The Biology Club had a pretty nice party this afternoon. Must find out the name of the new History teacher who shares 305 with Johnny boy. She and Morrie Hill sure pulled wicked steps. Lawry Stokes just danced a few times and stood on the sidelines the rest. Another cute boy who was there is Harland Mabie. No maybe about it! From what I've seen of him he's quite attractive. Knows his place too. Harold Baker is wandering around the halls aim' lessly now. He doesn't seem to be hanging around Peggy's locker any more. She's an awfully fickle little prune anyhow! Tl1ursday,November 20-Diary girls. The Drama Club party was f. I dear, an awfully calamity has oc' l A I a great success.

All that we are we owe to that one tiny insignincant mark, which is found above the comma on the typewriter and parallel with the hyrofglyphic used for Woe by the ancients. Without it school life would be a joy, true, but it would also be useless. From the time we go, as Bill Shakespeare has notated, with shining face to school, until we at last shall receive our sheepskins from the hands of some college president, that question mark oc' cupies more space in our exist' ence than wine in the life of a Frenchman or flappers in the life of a sheik. It is the bugbear of the dumbbell and the ladder by which the honor student climbs to fame. What? Why? Who? Where? When? and How? and ? ? ? ? ? on and on until the pot boileth over and the ocean runneth drier than the sands of street car motormen. In addition to the above sextette, there are theWhiches? theWheref fores? the Howcomes? and the Ifnotwhysos? so dear to the heart of the professor and so formidable to the unwary peruser of books who has forgotten the assignment or has been out the night before. With this foreword, let us pass on to the land of happier things, the land of more or less humor, which we, the editors cultivated for you to enjoy? to laugh at? to giggle? to even snicker? ? ? ? ? ? For Babies This column is edited by Dr. Ivan DeRankine, the famous baby specialist who has received R. S. V. P. N U T, and S. W. A. K. degrees from Oxford and Colum- bia University. His methods for raising babies have been proven successful, one thousand babies having died instantly after his first treatment. A crying baby is merely conf trary, not sick. Dangle him by the feet for a few moments and if this does not give relief give him a sound spanking. When a fever is raging, dash the child in ice water. If it con- tinues, give him not less than twenty ounces of ice cream. Fever is caused from being over heated. Be sure that your child falls off of a bed or chair at least once a dayg it helps to harden the skull. When a baby girl cries for amusement give her a needle and thread and a pair of scissors, she can't learn to sew younger. If a baby boy cries for amuse' ment, give him a hammer and a handful of nails or a hatchetg it gives him a good start to prepare for his future home. Never give your baby milk: it is very hard on the stomach. At eight days the child is in perfect condition to eat corn beef and cabbage. Never refrain from giving your child candy, cake, or piesg no child can thrive without them. When your baby cries in the night, stick a mop in his mouthg that's the best way to stop him. It is a good habit to give your baby an allfday sucker once a weekg this develops his will power. CContinued from Page 170 from a two days tour of Paris in the interests of the Average Ba' nana Oil Company with Lyle Guynn and Myron Gilmore. Mar' riage of Lola Willis and Helen Sowle to two army officers sta' tioned in Hong Kong and Davis Iunction was announced last week by Lucille Beushausen, society editor of Red Pepper. It is said lwliss Beushausen is considering a change of name to one easier to spell. Scenario for this was directed by Joe McCoy, president of the New York directory company.

Said the Villain As He Stabbed the Hero Movie Makes Wonderful Hit Before Eyes of Experienced Witnesses By Frederick, the Last of the Drug Store Cowboys Movies sometimes are shown under unusual handicaps. Last night I went to see one of those films of cattle, Indians, prairie love mixed with .45 caliber bullets, and more cattle and more Indians. It was no worse than some I had seen before, and no better. The title was ,..........., I forgot just what, but something like East of 99 or something. Atmosphere was gained by an aboriginal prolog. In it were three reservation Indians, Long Time Sleep CSiouxJ, Eagle Feather flro' quoisj, and Long Neck fNew Jer' seyj, with a charming, though somewhat rotund, female redskin who went under the alias of He' He. The nearest any of the light' footed tribesmen fas the novels sayj ever came to a real war'dance was at a Red Cross benefit in 1917, back in Tacoma, Wash., but they fooled the customers nicely, tot' tering around to the bloody strains of Columbia, Gem of the Ocean, as played by the orchestra. Then, as Long Time Sleep sang a pathetic love song in a slightly nasalized cracked tenor, He'He waddled over into his arms, almost. But He'He's paternal parent was on the job and with a haughty glance grabbed her and enfolded the girl in the protecting warmth of his auto robe. which he wore around his shoulders. By this time Long Neck had succeeded in lighting a pile of oil soaked waste with the aid of three boxes of matches, and standing around, bathed in perspiration, war paint, and blue flood light. the party of native sons harmon' ized once more, after which they took nine bows to the accom' paniment of frenzied applause by twenty'five inebriates in the gal' lery. Then, the lights faded. the ladies removed their hats from bobbed heads of variegated hair, and the thrilling picture, almost drowned in waves and billows of atmosphere,was led out and shown the customers. By Jasper O. Skiddovitch, I arrived, I looked around, I gave it up, as somebody said, I think it was Aesop 7,000 years ago. But the fact remains in my mind. as I look back over the years past, present, and future, that never in any city have I seen as much parking and involuntary stalling of automobiles as I have during my short stay in Rockford. Why, one night I saw ......... It seems that the cars in this town won't run after they get about five miles out of town. This I know from personal experience. The Part the Automobile Plays in Life of Student Prominent Member of Faculty Charges that Parking Has Hold as Popular Sport as Told Him by a Prominent Rockford High School Teacher And the roads! They break down on the loneliest of country thor' oughfares, where aid is nil, and help is the same place. What can be done? This is easy, as any R.H.S. sheik will tell you. These young people know not what they do. But they have a fine idea. They are only young once. Let youth have its pleasures. And even if it shall be on a lonely country road, did not Paul Revere take a well remembered ride over such territory? Of course he did, and all that happened is not, sadly speaking, in the history books. If it was, there would be more pupils studying history. But in the old days they parked their buggies. Now they park their autos, What's the difference? None, except a few years or so. An education would not be com' plete without a course in Elemen' tary Parking, which may be added by Principal Haggard and Mr. Hanna, if they can get an exper' ienced teacher. fOh boy! I'll say they canlj That's all. Now will you turn to page 678, the History of Applied Necking, for more in' formation. fSee page 179 for Skiddovitch's portrait.J Martin Sherman: What time I Hu i do you wake up in the morning? gl JQ, '0 fm' Evan Rutherford: About ' I X90 0lK.' 11:0O.

Wheiice had come this aerial strange Thought Adams as he piped. With a vision frail and striped Vv'hat once had cost some change. I will inquire of some kind friend. Of Smith, Black, Brown, or jones For this thing worries my bones, And I would that worry end. And so he asked his brown hued kin. But they'd never seen the like.

So Pedro went out to procure Some noble books and also pure. And threw away his wild west tales That always carried record sales. But what to Pede's surprise as He perused a modern classic That these her volumes did contain Some awful yarns fantastic. So finally Pedro gave it up And sought his books to barter. For all this lurid. flaming stuff He said, is in Nick Carter. fClosing Chorusj O let them keep their litterchoor And I will cling to mine, For if all that junk is litterehoor I never drank moonshine.

Notice the Vee K ' C1C,S how to recognize this im' A X Weav'e as the stocking is shaped. is ,, I ' f Maasai N .mm from Do You Know The Three Kinds? That is, the three general kinds of women's hosiery? There is the circular knit which is merely shaped by stretching after the hosiery is knit. When they are washed the shape is gone. The toe is the same as the heel and is closed by seaming it together. Then there is the flat knit or so called fullffashioned hose, The leg is knit in a flat piece, the foot added after' wards, then the flat piece is seamed together from the toe to the top of the stocking and the heel is seamed shut. The result is a shaped or fashioned stocking but there are heavy seams in the foot to irritate when wearing snug fitting shoes oriin sports wear. And then there are Bursons knit on a special machine which adds needles and stitches at will so that the stockf ings are shaped from the tip of the toe to the top of the hose without the use of seams. This leaves a stocking shaped to follow the lines of nature and a seamless, comfortable foot that makes Bursons so nice for snug Htting shoes and comfortable Wear in any and all sports. When you think of hosiery remember Bursons are the improved kind that stand for style and comfort. BURSGN KNITTING CO. RocKFoRD, 1LL1No1s 'v if P 21.22 as , ,sv 5-ici 9 , .1 Z1-3 5 W A.

Industry has an opening for you if you are interested and know how to persevere: if you can contribute to Industry either manf ual or clerical skill, along with exact knowledge, intelligent ob' servation, and a capacity for intensive effort in your work. Are you developing such a capacity or are you the kind who does not expect to return anything to society but who expects luck to prosper him somehow? Are you learning at home and in school to carry responsibility or do you let George do it? We hope you are learning, for Industry needs young men and young women who can and who will carry it, and to such, Industry offers the opportunity you want, to make good. J. L.

Main Street SODAS f LUNCHES P CANDIES W. F. DENNEY, Prop. . Monday, December 15-Somehow or other everyone seemed sleepy. All the teachers were handing out quarterly test marksg and perhaps that accounted for the drowsiness that engulfed us all. I think it's perfectly hateful that we have to go to school Monday and Tuesday of next week! They're so afraid the teachers and we won't work hard enough. Tuesday, December 16-Report cards came out today, and did we have fun! Everyone looked scared to death and I guess they were. Miss Brodie is having all her classes write sonnets, and I wish you could hear some of them. Laddie Wilgus and Ray Yalden wrote excepf tionally good ones. Have just loads of work to do so-byefbye! lm Y a . Q1 iiflfgflblflbll HERE'S a lot of difference bef tween nervous uncertainty- and the pleasant feeling of coniif dence that a box of Romance Choc' olates gives you in these crucial moments.
