Uhr Zlnninr Sung TUNE- THE ISLE or OUR DREAMS 1 In the dear old college of Rockford, There are many fine classes there, There are Seniors and Sophomores, Freshmen and Preps But The The The Are none with the Juniors compare. Freshmen are dear little workers, Sophomores bluff all the time, Seniors, though wise, in some people's eyes as nought to the class of '09, 9 M 'When the class of '09 came to college, They proved their metal right then: In Science and History. Bible and Lit As Sophomores they proved it again. And now we are all of us juniors. NVe are leaders in all that goes ong And as Seniors they'll say, they have added each day New laurels to those they have won. 3 In the class every one is a comrade, Three years we have worked side by side, Our troubles and cares, each one of us shares, In class spirit we all take pride. But to us Alma Mater means most, girls, And Her her mem'ries we'll ever recall, ideal is the highest, her aim is the best, She's the tie that binds closest of all. l24l

September 13, 1907. I guess junior year must be the best year of the four-at least that's the way I feel about it. We seem to have found our place in the school. We have the grandest Freshman class to look after this year-larger than for many many years-and we intend to show our ap- preciation of them. A week from today we entertain at an informal tea in various Junior rooms in honor of them. That's a beginning at least. October 26. We have got the nicest Freshmen this year! Think of it-a cotillion tonight in our honor. Oh! it's great to be an upper classman, to be respected and looked up to by those who have not yet reached our own intellectual heights. But the cotillion-music, flowers, gallant Fresh- men in white shirt-waists and black skirts to give the needed masculine touchg Juniors in their best, carrying roses from devoted Freshmen, and most wonderful favors-colored paper boas, moons, canes, etc., etc. It most certainly was a success-one well worthy of our gay, young Freshmen. bk PF Dk wk Ik June 12, 1907. And now little diary good-bye for this year. You have been good to hold in these pages, our pleasures, good fellowships, and our loyalty to our beloved Alma Mater and the class of '09, And Juniors, now you must put aside childhood's gay garment, and take upon you the black and solemn robe of dignity, reserve, and majestic calmness-the inherit- ance of a Senior. - - ' 5 x j , 1 QJ JTFXEQ ANI IW' . v Y Y E231
