1 , . ,. 74 THE TARGET Rockford Hop - A 1 N , HILE at camp the corps was invited to attend a dance given by the lady friends of the cadets in Rockford. The affair - V took place the night before the corps left camp for N. M. A. and was a farewell which will long remain in the memory of the cadets. , The hall was decorated in a manner which called forth A 'J 1- ' the admiration of all present. Most noticeable, perhaps, were the cosy corners where N. M. A. banners and the Rockford colors blended in a way that was most pleasing to the cadets. The same gentle harmony that existed among the colors was also evident among the company. In some cases it seemed to be W Y 1 T , . M. Two souls with but a single thought, Two hearts that beat as one. Even Jimmie, austere and ascetic as he has been in his relation to the fair sex, so far gave way to the spell of the occasion that he' allowed the greater part of the buttons to be cut from his dress coat, and since his return has exhausted the quartermaster's supply of pins and emblems. Too soon for all concerned the dance ended, and slowly but happily the merry couples- wended their way toward home. This trip must have been fa very pleasant one, indeed, for although the car was held a short time for lingerers, a few extended their time to such an extent that they were compelled to walk back to camp in The wee, sma' hours of the morning. Even after this rather trying experience they appeared next morning bright and happy with pleasant memories. We wish to thank the young ladies of Rockford, to the extent that thanks can be conveyed by mere words, for this extremely pleasant ex- perience of our camp life.

4, 76 THE TARGET The Classes THE editors have long been trying to pick out the most deserving - ,. class so that they might dedicate an issue of HTHE TARGETH toit in return for the great services rendered to us. We have, however, come to the conclusion that the following dedications, are far more appropriate: P To the Juniors we dedicate a tombstone and advise them to crawl under it. To the Sophomores, our splendid example. May they profit S by it. To the Freshmen-well, perhaps we should leave them out, as M their help could not possibly amount to much, they being young and ll inexperienced and under the Juniors' guiding hands. The Preps we ad- TQ monish to always be good and do right, and perhaps some day they will grow. up and be big like we are. E E U sophomores and Freshmen WE feel as if some mention should be made in this issue of THE M4 TARGET, concerning our carefully trained children, the illustrious class TI of '07, E W For the last period they have most ably defended their honor and Th their rights against the fierce little freshmen. 5 Fr The trouble began when McNamara, whose name is a terror to thc, Sa class of '07, climbed the flag-pole on the' drill-hall, and pulling down '07 'si MG colors, dragged them in the dust. Tu This of course was more than our little children could stand, and then W' the fun began, and for that matter it is still going on. The favorite place for their rushes seems to be on the stairs leading to Fr the school-room, although they have beenheld all over the grounds and even on the roof of the drill-hall. S These classes have given us a great deal of amusement, recalling to us l al the pleasant day of our youth, and we for our part, while of course not wishing to have any disorder carried on, rather enjoy the small troubles Su' they are having.
