0'-er -.t V... ,... .V otuunrdw We, the classes of Rockdale High School in 1936, take pride in leaving this book as our contribution to the commemoration of the Centennial of our State and we have tried to depict the development of Milam County and Rockdale from the primeval scene of the buffalo range and the wilderness, through the age of the Indian, who left us a heritage of freedom and space; through the time of the Franciscan padres, who left us romance in the names of the physical features of our county; through the era of Sterling C. Robertson, who was the father of Milam County, colonizer i and leader; through the period of the Revolution and Ben Milam, who gave us his illustrious name and represented the sterling char- acter of the pioneer; through the chapter of the Civil War and General Laurence Sullivan Ross, who stands to represent all Milam County heroes Who participated in this upheaval; to the present day when we prefer to think of Milam County as p a lmk in the whole chain of Texas counties and as being Texas itself, most glori- ous state in the Union, and when we see our Texas character personified in our distinguished Governor, James V. Allred. Herein Will you find these characters portrayed by the artist,s pen and herein will you feel their influence as you turn the pages of our book and, we hope, close the volume with a lasting impression and appreciation of the greatness of our part in the history of Texas.
