To say whether yye have succeeded in making our mark in the school it is quite fitting to leave to others But surely they will not think us vain if for a few minutes we turn back to that fall of 1905 and call to mind those events that stand out as bright spots on the path of our college career We were not a large class but no doubt that fact only served to make us more loyal to one another and work the harder for our own glory Tolo club had been formed the year before and for the first time the grand fall initiation of new members was held It was a trying time but we were equal to the demands and entertained the charter members in a way that surprised and delighted them From that time forth the Freshman class was an im portant part of the school and nothing was done to which they did not con tribute their labor and skill The class organized and elected officers and under the guidance of the juniors started forth with flying colors As it was fitting that we show some substantial form of our appreciation of our sister classs care for us we gave in their honor a class banquet It was the Hrst large affair we had undertaken but was not to be the last However the Freshman year that IS after all different from any other college year came to an end and we were Sophomores As Sophomores we were even more energetic than before and many were the good times arranged by us The class banquet was as delightful as the first one, although the Senior class had by this time grown so small that we had to take much of the respons1b1l1ty of the two classes upon our shoulders When commencement week came we were honored by assisting in the Sen 1or class ceremony and enyoying breakfast with them on the campus The next fall we were juniors and with two new members made up a class of eleven It was now our time to take under our protection the large entering class We helped them get established in the school l1fe and they in turn were our loyal supporters in every way How proud we were when they, inspired by our cheers won the Sophomore Freshman basket ball game We felt the honor of the victory as much as they But the most noteworthy event of the year was Junior Vine day With solemn rites the ivy was planted and christened before the admiring ey es of the F reshmen, who loyally 13 1 l il ri If I il l l ls i 1? if fl l , 9 . . , , - , f .

This was followed by a breakfast, and although our rival classes appeared to consider the event as not worthy of their attention, I am sure they could not but admire the class that was soon to enter upon its last year. At class day, too, we lent our sup- port to make the day as successful as possible. When at the close of the exercises the president of the Seniors transferred the cap and gown to the junior president, we felt that at last we were to attain that state for which we had been striving for three years. We came back last fall glad to wear the cap and gown and enjoy the honor and distinction of the Senior. Early in the year the Sophomore class invited us to a dinner-but where it was to be given remained a secret. How- even we hadenuoyedthen'hospnahtytoo ohen Unask any quesuons,and at the progressive dinner which it proved to be, all former banquets seemed indeed but insignificant. lt is with due caution that I mention that which brings sadness to the hearts of the junior class-the cane hunt. Eager for some excitement we hid the cane which was to give the Juniors many aweary hour of hunting. For days they walked the campus gazing apparently into the heavens,znnlindeed Ilieanlitsanlthatsoniecithe Prepsfearedthey'had gone mad from over study. But it was nothing as terrible as that, they were merely searching for the cane. To cut short the sorrowful tale, it is enough to say that we are joyfully awaiting the banquet to which the Juniors have inyited us. There are not many months left of our last year at Rockford College, and as we look back upon the many good times as well as the hard work qfor I assure you we have done some of this! we are very loath to have the year close. For us it means the end ofa college life that has been indeed a happy one, and the beginning of a more serious life for which we have been in training since we entered college. XYe have worked together for the class and for the school, and in this united purpose we feel that our best work has been done. But in leaving we do not intend to forget as we hope not to be forgotten. VVe are sure that our interest in our Alma Mater will not lessen but that her welfare will ever be a concern to us for the sake of the years we spent together at Rockford. E141 I I ll.

Myrtle shines on decoration committees and is usually to be found poised on the top step of a ladder over in the gym, with a pink paper carnation in one hand and a Latin dictionary in the other, for she is not one of those who are afraid of letting their studies interfere with their college educations. Greek is her weak point, we are told, but from one who traces her ancestry to Pythapgoras, such favoritism is to be expected. XXlI.IIliI.1IIN.XIl.l3,XlQl llCl.lJ ff!.fflie'N In capacity of chairman Billie has served on two Recep- tion committees for the Prom, managing them most suc- cessfully as thc balance of 25c at the end of the year would indicate. She has displayed unusual talent in dramatics, having taken the part of Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing, and Hermia in Midsummer Nights Dream. Billie may be found most any time in the library buried in history references which she hopes to put to some good use when college life is over. Wilhelmina is very proud of her Dutch ancestry, deriv- ing her name from William of Orange. Among her dis- tinguished relatives she numbers Aunt Kate. l MVIS-li t1RliliNli t'!,nn Louise is one of our most dazzling society lights, and her sparkling eyes and irresistible laugh have won many a captive heart for her train. She is quite crazy over Psychology and has exhausted nearly all the possibilities of the catalogue in the line of Philosophy. Whether this denotes a distant relationship to Plato has not been defi- nitely ascertained. It is certain that on her mother's side the line of ancestry goes back unbroken to Helen of Troy. With such noble blood in her veins, it is to be expected that Louise will do honor to her class. U61 HPI PM A.

We have not yet given her any very great opportunities for displaying her sterling worth, but we already recognize her as a source of unending com- fort when we want somebody to laugh at our witty jun- iors' jokes. Was it not Hans Sachs who was the humor- ist among the ancients? Yes, the relationship is at once apparent. Nl Xlilil, IANET SCOTT .S'm!1'a1 ' Mabel's love of life is as nothing to her aversion to Hrooming with an editor. No wonderg when she is seen taking her independent way down the hall, that dignitary trails inevitably in the rear. She keeps a cheerful heart, however, and leads her class on to victory with the genius of a president-born. As a result of her untiring efforts at the head of the Decoration Committee last year we had one of the prettiest proms that has ever taken place here. She is our mighty singer, but it is when we gaze upon Claudio or Lysander with admiration across the footlights and realize that it is our own Mabel that our prirle rises highest. Euterpe and Melpomene stood by hier cradlc at least, even though the relationship is no c oser.

S., and the other yellow for Domestic Science. The last sounds suspicious and we wonder how soon it will be before she sets the Bell a-ringing. Buddie's artistic ability is not to be overlooked, and to it are due most of the sketches in the Annual. Her favor- ite occupation is going home over Sunday, but she always returns most loyally to her class and college, which was her mother's alma mater also. Buddie thinks she must be descended from Buddah. it BR! Yl'llY XYH lilil,OCli Tin' l7!lnz'1z Dorothy is the raison detre of this Annual, having served her apprenticeship as business manager of the 1908 Annual, in which capacity she helped run the class into debt and hopes to do so again this year. Dorothy is a mathematical turn ofmind, and has demonstrated great ability as Play Manager, Tolo President and member of the House Committee. This year she is playing the Fat Villain to Marie's Lambie-Pie, in Room 52, Please shut the door. Dorothy is very proud of her descent from Archimedes, whose clearness of intellect she undoubtedly has inherited. lliil PSTHER H. YVHITE lI7z1Ye Esther is the class humorist as it were, without whom the revelry and mirth at the Junior table would be as nought. She has many original expressions some of which she has reformed since the talk on Abuse of English Language prevalent among College Girls. Among her aversions Esther numbers map drawing as the chief. She has been through trials and tribulations as chairman of the Decoration Committee, 1908 Christmas Prom. and member of Reception Committee for the 1907-8 Proms. Esther's tragic beauty reminds the Ver- gil student very forcibly of Dido. May the resemblance end there. CAROIJNE VVILLIAMS UII'z'!!z2l' All praise be to Caroline that the Annual is at all! Hers are pretty small shoulders to carry such a big burden, but we are proud of the way she has done it. Under the circumstances, we Wonder at the cheerful way in which she doles out music in Glee Club, for the position of librarian is certainly no joke. Caroline entranced all beholders as Alan-a-Dale's bride on Class Day last year, and certainly justified her unsuccessful lover's despond- ency. She used to think that she liked Math, but has changed her mind Why no one knows Surely she is a worthy descendant of Stella or Della or Idea or one of those fair dames who used to have such reams of sonnets written to them lumor Ofhcers MABEL IAIN FT SCOTT Preszdefzf 'XIX RTLH B ARBER Scfcrcfary ana' Trenszn ez My RTLE BARBFR Class Hzsforzafz 9 lll Junior Class History have yearned for thee with all my heart, OV Senior cap and gown.

CH.Xl'TIiR I 1 The sayings of Sham-inspired by necessity -concerning the bevy of maidens in whom our souls deligliteth. 2 And it came to pass in the nineteen hundred and sixth year, that maidens in great numbers and from various parts of the land wended their way towards Rockford. .Xnd in that place was a college of some repute. 3 .Xnd from the beginning, it was granted by all, with one accord, that they were damsels of fair countenance and exceeding good courage and judgment. 4 lYlien the elders of the school came and said, Keep silence. Thou shalt perform for us in vaudeville of excellent merits, then did we perform. 5 And great was the astonishment and surprise in the faces of the elders at such daring and marvelous deeds among them. o In the same year, during the IYinter Festival, one camebringing tid- ings that our chosen band would soon do basket ball against the Sophomore tribe. Defeat would be an abomination and disgraceg therefore was a score of trimnph rolled up by our victorious band. 7 Thus custom decreed:-that at early dawn our colors should be raised from the topmost point of the Flagpole. 8 And it came to pass so. For through three long hours, the upper i201 4117- ,-.,,.-,-1-f--. - .., . ,.,, class did fight, but we prevailed and they were driven away. And the yellow banner floated amid many hallelujahs and rejoicings. 9 Now, in tl1e same spring were we, as Freshmen, questioned and chal- lenged to match their skill in tennis. And we boldly went forth to meet our aggressors and were victorious. IO Then for seven days or more were our hearts oler-filled with glad- 11ess and exultation. II Soon the term was drawing to an end. And the damsels departed, each to her own land, and the school was left desolate and without inhabi- tants, during the harvest months. , CHAPTER H I Now, son1e moons later, the damsels, fewer i11 number, gathered to- gether again. And their minds were far from vanity and the ways of the wicked cities. 2 And they applied themselves well, and daily increased in wisdom and learning. . 3 In the first month of the new year, the youngest maidens of the school, through the generosity of their hearts, put forth an entertaimnent for the Sophomores and Seniors. 4 With great display and rejoicing were two of their numbers united in binding wedlock. 5 And the other classes waxed wroth at not being bidden to the cere- mony and made as though to steal the bridegroom and the feast. 6 But Providence intervened, and there was great feasting and merry- making. 7 According to the custom, the Freshmen lifted up their colors to the cool spring breezes. But tears blotteth out the records and witnesses remem- ber it not. 8 To show honour and respect towards the Seniors, together we broke fast under the trees along the river. And we ate and drank together. 9 And a feeling of sadness crept over the hearts of all at the thought the Seniors would soon be gone into the world and with us no more. But we feasted merrily and joyously partook of the bounty set before us. IO And it happened that only seven days later, these same Seniors were hosts to us, their sister class. rr The boat was brought to shore, and we sailed up stream, making merry until late at night. And praising our hosts, we said, t'The Seniors are good. T211 I2 Now it came to pass on the day set aside for the classes, we were bidden to present a play that the spectators might be entertained. And often were councils held, and it was deemed right to comply. I3 Wearing garments like those of Robin Hood, a band did help poor Alan-a-Dale to capture his lost bride. And many saw the scene, and found cause to laugh, and laughed. CHAPTER Ill I Again, as at the sound of a trumpet, the maidens, as juniors, returned to their worthy pursuits, seeking to be wise and learned. 2 And lest the young, shy maidens, whom they must minister unto, become lonesome and long for home, they were asked to gather for a dance. And the word pleased them, and they went with haste. And they enjoyed the bounty and good will of the juniors. And each was bestowed with a flower that never withereth. 3 And the Freshmen were as the field that returns the seed with inter- est. For soon were we bid to partake of their store at the Brown Teapot. And they saw our skill at cards, and justly rewarded the lucky dogs with flowers. 4 And there came to ns, several score years ago, three of the Seniors, and they were met with kindness. 5 And they brought news of a staff hid on the campus, which, should we find, they would make a great feast for us. Ilut should we not, we must prepare a banquet for them. 6 The heavens may fall and the earth open and swallow the unfortu- nate mortals, for the staff-accursed may it be-rests secure. 7 A banquet is due the Seniors. Yea, it shall be given them, a ban- quet fit for wise men, a banquet with thousands of candles and golden and silver plate, with manna and refreshings drinks in abundance. 8 But the delectable things shall not profit them. The haryest reaped from ill-gotten gain is as a thorn in the side Selah. E221 L ll xx f'X ' w X 3 , E xy IL? ig:-fgfgx.

That we may look with a judicious historical eye over the memories of those days, let us take the rats from our hair and with them shed all our youthful vanitiesg let us disentangle ourselves from the present, drop from the school and its affairsg step, say fifty years into the future, and seat ourselves,-a nice cozy bunch of old ladies,-around some one of our tea-tables. Give us a room at dusk, with the curtains half-drawn, leaving between them just a peep of snowy, twilight landscape, furnish this room in the dark hangings and brussels and fringed upholstery which old ladies so love and which hold memories as naturally as they hold dust' have somewhere an old rose Jar shedding through the room the perfume of flowers picked and withered two decades before mingle with this perfume the warmth and glow of a cheery hearth fire, which may if you please pick from out the dusk the gilded frames on the wall and play softly among the dishes on the table and glint agaii st the little tea kettle singing cozily in the midst Arrange us thus comfortably and we will without doubt become as any old ladies would under the circumstances quite pensive and reminiscent Let Helen or if there has been among us a more persistent memento hunter let her have her memory book at hand But before we open the book let us each take our cup of tea and draw up about the fire and so, with the light glowing up in to our dim old ey es, after all these stage directions let us look into the coals and see what memories come to us There will be the Alma Mater as we saw her last, sitting high among her campus trees Linden and Chapel and Middle and the other halls beyond all grey and reverend faded or fading from a ruddy red brick youth of half a century before the color blown from her by the winds which have beat against her and washed away by the rains which have fallen upon her and 2 . 1 6 7 25 Y ' Y. rv . v -v a . w .

There will be the morning chapel, with the girls throng' ing down the steps into the dusky, tall-windowed, beam-ceiled, little sanc- tuary, and, if our chimney be one that draws a little noisily, and our ears be a trifle deceptive and our imagination still young and fresh, we may hear again the organ pealing out its prelude, straining as though to burst its gilded pipes, and rolling the notes up to clamor tumultously along the roof,-then the service, low-spoken and above it all the campus trees singing softly in through the windows. Some of us will see the library and think of the hours we passed in the big, book-walled room under the bustling guardian- ship of genial Miss Northey and the pale surveilance of old Dr. Swing, dark- ling over by his window. Some of us will see the bare practice rooms of Sill Hall and recall weary days spent in thumming scales with no company except a clicking metronome and perhaps a friendly sun-beam which broke against our fingers as they were busy on the keys and was sent a-jigging in mad little splashes against the wall. Looking into the coals so, we will surely recall the evenings in Middle Hall, with the great fire-place there ablaze and roaring, showering its light over a multitude of ribbons and flounces, while the black old Dante's head sat brooding above in the dusk, doubtless stowing away in his plaster-of-Paris brains all the senseless chatter going on about him, as a source of amusement over night. After we have wiped off our spectacles and cleared our throats behind our hands, as nice old ladies will do when they have been thinking of the days of their youth, Helen may take up her memory book and we will all crowd around her as she opens it. There will be, without a doubt, among the faded, yellowed mementos a note or pressed flower to remind us of the tea which the juniors, in the kindness of their hearts, served to us as very fresh young Freshmen, there will be at issue paper cap or a gilt half moon to tell of the cotillion which we, in the confidence of our second semester, tendered as a return courtesy to the juniors, there will be a bit of baby ribbon, per- haps, to recall the joyful indignities which we suffered at the baby party, there will be curious old photos to bespeak the time when, by way of proper introduction to the upper class social circles, we, under their austere gaze, cavorted as gamboling baa-baa lambs or howling beasts of the forests, there will be three ragged bits of old rose cloth, one to stand for a victorious color 26 rush, o11e to stand for a victorious basket-ball game, and one-oh rag of evil memory I-to bespeak a noble defeatg there will be a program announcing the appearance of Mother Goose and her family, which will remind us of class day and a sunny morning on the campusg there will be four place-cards, recalling the jollitv of tl1e progressive dinner which we entering our second xear prepared for the Qeniors, and there will be a 1n5 sterious note from the house to the dax Sophoniores inviting them to a bacon bat, which we will remember was long deferred but met realization at an indoor party And now after another cup of tea and after a good many trembling old handshakes all around and after pattlng our hostess kindly on the hands and kissing her cheek and telling her 'tsuch a nice time dear we are at liberty to rub the wrinkles out of our faces put the rats again in our hair and with them resume all our xouthful vanities step back the fifty sears to 1909 and come again to the Alma Mater with the smoke shadows billowing across her face and perchance a pigeon or two circling in the sunlight above the billows QM l I .Te'h11 5 il Z3 .

We played five hundred, While all the latest music fioated through the doorway from an orchestra in next room. Fanchon, our president, looked so sweet as she went around Welcoming the guests and superintending the party, that - You were horribly jealous, concluded Madelaine. That we were very proud of her. While we were playing, punch was served, and after the cards had been laid aside and the prizes, a big bunch of paleyellow rosebuds and a dozen tall, yellow chrysanthemums, had been given to those who had the highest scores, lunch cloths were spread over the tables, and delicious fruit salad, sandwiches, coffee, ice cream, and cake were served. The juniors had a fine time, and our party was a great success. But not as big a success as the Freshman-Sophomore basket-ball game, said Nancy, UIQ to I2 in our favor! lYasn't that glorious? I can see them now, Elsie Carr hurling the ball down towards our goal, and Lutz tossing it into the basket. How we Freshmen yelled and jumped way off from our feet whenever we got a point! I should say it was exciting! VVhen we changed goals, we had a grand tusslc for the Sophomore colors, which were hanging over their first goal, and we won them. Two of the girls escaped over to the Main building, and hid them before the Sophs knew what was happen- ing. It was pandemonium when we won the game: we screamed and shouted until we were hoarse. About half an hour afterwards we gave a banquet of ice-cream, cake, and grape-juice for the team down in the dining room, and the whole class crowded around the table, as the victorious basket-ball girls and three Freshmen officers gave toasts to the class of IQI2. We weren't proud of ourselves, oh no! Huniph, said Madelaine, Your basket-ball game was exciting enough, but in llly opinion, we had the best time of the year at the Freshman-Prep. Informal. At the last minute, Helen Ross's man wired that he couldn't come, and, as she had a new gown especially for the dance, and I knew she'd be terribly disappointed if she couldn't go, I agreed to dress up in men's clothes, and take her to the Informal. She gasped for breath when I told her, but she was perfectly game and we shook hands on the bargain. Elizabeth was listening with round eyes and parted lips, and the other two Rockford girls were staring at Madelaine in blank amazement. Cut out the 'local color.' You'll queer Elizabeth forever from going to Rockford, whispered Nancy. Will I? just watch, she replied in an undertone. Go on, said Elizabeth.

XYith the passing of time this organization has become an indespensable ad- junct to the social life at the College. Hav- ing in its charge the majority of the lighter functions given during each year, it has nec- essarily become most proficient in the gentle art of giving a good time to its members and guests. This year the club has taken under its auspices the Fiorillo String Quartette, thus insuring good music for all of the affairs where such is required. In the line of charity for this year the Tolo club has provided Thanksgiving dinners for eighteen families, put a telephone into the Y. XV. C.

Every member was received with enthusiastic applause to which the young artists linally responded with an exquisite ren- dering of that delightful waltz movement, Are you Sincere. The quartette, which consists of four violinists, Papina Winslow, Cam- illo Urso Kilburn, Tartini Thiers and Paganini Peterson, with Paderewiski Green, pupil of Annette Snell, as artistic accompanist, began its career, September 1908, under the directorship of Adolph Rosenbecker of Chicago. Numerous public appearances have been made notably in the Friday chapel services, Tolo and class parties. These appearances are always greeted with pleasure and the quartette may be assured of a successful future.

Its immediate object is to enact and en- force laws in accordance with the rights granted to the Organiza- tion by the Faculty of Rockford College, to transact business per- taining to the whole body of resident students, and to further the interest of the students so far as it lies within its power. This means to maintain order within the house, and to regulate church and chapel attendance. Everything pertaining to the curriculum and social regulations is under the control of the Faculty. But the real object of all this is not a government of the sort that is nec- essary for grade school children, but rather to teach self-control and personal responsibility, and that the only good is the most good for the most con- cerned, only to be maintained by co-operation of each one with the rest. It is true that the actual working of this organization is not perfect, but what is and what more can be done than to put the theory into practice, and then as time goes an and weaknesses become prominent, to correct these. VVhere so many people are thrown together, the only way to keep har- mony and peace is by individual kindness, thankfnlness, and nnselfishness. Here is an excellent opportunity for each one to express her will power and there are afforded many tests of self-control. R.

XX Xxxx H N 1-'- ,K fl X 1 I X X E551 Secretarial Course N education, which prepares a girl to become independent in man- aging her own affairs, leaving her perfectly capable to find employ- ment, and giving her a knowledge of the business world, is rapidly finding favor in this age. Recognizing this fact Rockford College offered the secretarial course two years ago. In it the fundamental studies of type writing and short-hand are given, as in business college, but here the comparison ends, for combined with these, and considered essentially as im- portant, are the industrial histories, sciences and elective languages. This year more girls than ever before are taking advantage of the secre- tarial course, which, when completed, will give them useful accomplishments in the opportunities that they afford. E. T. ltr. Each year, more time and consideration is being devoted to the study of Home Economics. Not only is this trne in the elementary schools, but also in the colleges of our country. Realizing the growing need for scientific knowledge upon this subject, Rockford College inaugurated, in IQO6, a two- year course in Home Economics. In june, t9o8, five girls graduated from this department. Meanwhile, in igoj, thirteen new students had been en- rolled in the first year class. Thirteen! perhaps that fatal number accounts for the fact that only one of all that vast throng, is left to tell their sad his- tory. Although such a small percentage of the original number remains, yet there are several girls, who, by electing various studies from this course each year, will soon be able to receive diplomas both from this department and from the regular college course. As to the work, it might he said that the first of the two years in cook- ing is given up to the study and illustration of elementary principles, while the latter year is devoted mainly to the practical application of the knowl- edge gained. For instance, during the second year, we are allotted a certain amount of money for which we must plan and serve a breakfast, luncheon and four or five course dinner for four persons. The food must be substan- tial, such as a man would eat, and must moreover, supply a given amount of proteid and a certain of heat calories. When we tell other girls about our work, they say, I should think it would be interesting. Why, it is inter- esting, and not only interesting but useful, as well! E. H. K.

J. ur ibrary HE purpose of the school library is to supplement, strengthen, and broaden the instruction in every subject, so far as this may be done through the aid of books. The recent growth of libraries has profoundly modified the modes of instruction in vogue a generation ago. XYith college students, the lecture or text-book now serves chiefly to open up the subject, to show its possibilities. Library readings are assigned more and more in every subject. Rockford College, always eager to keep abreast of the times and to make the most of available material, has now a trained librarian. Re- classification and cataloging are now going on as rapidly as possible. The work in the English department is nearly completed. There will be a dictionary catalog including author, title, and subject in one list, arrange l strictly alphabetically. There will also be a shelf list arranged as the books stand on the shelves, tlms making a subject catalog. An index will be provided for the same. Over one hundred and fifty new books have been already added to the library this year, besides the latest edition of the new International Encyclo- pedia, consisting of twenty one volumes. Department of Library Science The teacher cannot properly tlI'gi1lllZCllL'1' courses of instruction unless she knows the resources of the library.

She must know the system of cataloging, and the location of the various classes of books, periodicals, maps, pictures, aml other library material. She needs acquaintance with the standard books of reference, including encyclopedia, dictionaries, atlases, guide-books hand-books, periodi- cal indexes, government publications, etc. She should be familiar with the special merits of each. She must know the general inake-up ofa book and how to use indexes, contents, prefaces, and running head-lines. And most of all, she must know how to study these references when found.

The band-marvellously led by U, R. A. Kuner, resplendent in the glory of many gold medals-played a medley of darky melodies, their white uniforms contrasting oddly with their black glistening faces. Sophia Snowball came into prominence with her Busy Tolo Bee. Then, with the air of a true col'ud gem'man and lady, Mr. and Mrs. johnsing rendered the cake walk. Strenuous applause from the pit. Next, in wandered four Pickaninies with an old oaken bucket, and ill- ustrated the song with genuine realistic art. Before the audience had recovered from the shock, dark little Lillie White was imitating the clogg so cleverly that they thought it was the real thing and called her back twice. Topsy-fied little Eva entreated the moon, with artistic feel- ing, not to shine so soon, but nevertheless it shone on, and revealed a Feet Feat which displayed the actors agility to perfection. The duet by Pinkie XYhite and Mary Vtlilliams put every one, except the audience, to sleep. Sweet Adalinen would have been greatly Hat- tered, could she have heard her charms eulogized by the Rufus quar- tette. ln the Spoonville Act, Rastus J. Brown succeeded in per- suading Mary Williams to be Sorry before it was too late, which pleased the audience so that they had him doit again, for which a little light-haired darky sang That's Gratitudegll after which the curtain could hardly be persuaded to fall while the XVhole Shootln Match sang the Grand Finale.

But in the fire which destroyed the old lilmrary six years ago, all authentic records of the vaudeville were lost. Through research under great difficulties, we have unearthed these facts, which, though incom- plete. give ns some idea of the splendor of the presentation. A Spanish dance lead by a French maiden gave visions of Granada, but this yielded to the charms of a Merry Widow'l in a Directoire gown, lamenting because They Don't Come Around Any More. Another feature of the program seems to have been two musical mid- dies, whose instruments have been discovered to have been a guitar and a comb. Last evening, The Seniorll of IQOQ, now visiting her Alma Mater, told me her recollection of the pautomine The Bachelor's Dream in which a young bachelor dreams of his many loves: the tennis girl, the summer girl, the school girl, the college girl, and the ballet girl, but is most forcibly touched by his landlady's scrub-pail. lVhile the Fisherman's Daughter was read, a groupe of ghosts swayed by their emotions, illustrated it with gestures, a dramatic theme which was followed by a most laughable imitation of a Dumb Waiter wnose zeal is at once diminished when he receives merely a small tip.

' O 'T i Q 1 l, zz., HE most important social events of the year at Rockford College, are the promenades, one at Christmas time, and one in the spring. Besides these, there are two informal dances to which the girls may also invite men. The first promenade this year occurred on Satur- day evening, December the twelfth. .Xt seven o'clock, the reception com- mittee, consisting of Carol jones, chairman, Lois Cool, Lilian Moore, and Margaret Parr, formed in Middle Hall, and was assisted in receiving by the patrons and patronesses, Miss julia H. Gulliver, Miss Geneva Misener, Miss F. Marion Ralston, Mr. and Mrs. Henry H. Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Forbes, and Mr. Harry Forbes. Dancing began at halfpast seven in the gymnasium, which had been transformed into a garden of tropical charm. Countless graceful festoons of evergreen, looped from the center of the ceil- ing to the walls, concealed all that was bare and suggestive of gym class. Thousands of pink poppies and softly shaded pink lights nestling in the green, gave radiance and enchantment to the beauty of the room. The decoration committee was made up of the following: 4 Esther XVbite, chairman, Myrtle Barber, Evelyn Dalrymple and Ruth Ide. Gibbler's orchestra furnished the music. Later in the evening, supper was served in Middle Hall, and at half- past eleven, the dancing ceased. The second promenade will take place in May. The first informal was a dinner dance, given on Friday, November the twentieth, for the two under classes, the preparatory students, and the Fresh- men. The gymnasium was gaily decorated with college banners and pil- l0ws,and made inviting with cozy corners. Those upon whom the labor fell. and to whom the success of the function was largely due, were Fanchon Hathaway, president of the Freshman class, Dorothy Fulton, president of the preparatory class, and Ruth Rankin, chairman of the decoration commit- tee. An informal dance for the upper classes was held on Saturday evening, February the thirteenth, at which the success of the other parties was repeated. M. D. TII. f66l 1 n i I ! W !

Preceding the lecture, which was upon America's greatest com- poser, MacDowell, Miss Snell played three of his compositions, Autumn, Improvisition, and Perpetual Motion, and Signorina DeFabritiis sang Long Ago, and The Swan Bent Low to the Lily, from Op. 56, and Ohl Lovely Rose, Sweet-heart, Tell Me, and Thy Beaming Eyes, from Op. 40, which made the lecture much more interesting. Being a personal friend of MacDowell, Mr. Garland knew him both as a man and as a musician and a composer. I-Ie first told the story of his life, his early education in music in Europe, and how, while still a young man, he returned to Boston, married, and made his home in the New Hampshire Hills, from which he drew his inspirations. The Indian Suite and The Deserted Farm, two of his notable compositions, were suggested by these influences. Mr. Garland explained that Macllowell is seldom played by Ameri- can musicians, in the first place because they do not understand him, and secondly, because educated as they are in Germany or Italy, they have been so influenced by these schools that they cannot comprehend real Amer- ican music. Once a year, however, the Thomas Orchestra of Chicago plays his Indian Suite. After the lecture, the reception in Middle Hall gave guests and students an opportunity of meeting Mr. Garland. N. A. ' 11. l63l T4 NNZJZ 11- -Ll N tale and verse we are often promised that there will be a time when dreams come true, but for my part I never came nearer realizing my most fond dream of joy than I did at the Washington Party this year. I guess all girls from the time they begin to take notice of clothes at all, like to dress up, but it seems to add particular charm when the high and mighty dignified Seniors of the college which you attend, whom you have been taught to respect above all earthly things, take part in the fun. At any rate you never saw such a transformation of the whole student body, as took place on the night of February the twenty-seventh, 1909, at the Wash- ingtonls Birthday Party given by the Chi Theta Psi sorority of Rockford. Preliminary activities, such as the buying of cretonne and the practising of the minuet dancers, had been going on for some time but the real prepar- ation for the party began after dinner on the evening of the twenty-seventh. Such a noise and bustle! Each minute a girl would burst into the room of her friends demanding to be pinned or have her hair powdered. At last all were ready and at about half-past seven they all filed down stairs into Middle Hall. And sucha sight as it was! Each girl was dressed as a colonial dame or gentleman-with powered hair, rouged cheeks-this is one of the few times during the year when one can use rouge with impunity and have no fear of the criticism of one's neighbors-brightly flowered gowns and high heeled slippers. Some of the costumes were descended from real grand mother days but most of them had been made by the girls themselves and showed no little ingenuity. It is really wonderful how fancy dress may transform a person. You scarcely recognize your neighbor in Latin II when you see her arrayed in Usilks for cretonnej and laces. It is also marvelous to what an advantage one can use the most every day articles. A belt pin of modern times is the exact size of an ancient brooch and does not look at all like a belt pin when it fastens a lace fichu. When all were ready they trouped over to the gymnasium. Here was decoration for the occasion. Each light was covered by a hanging basket of American Beauty roses and the lights were connected by ropes of southern l69l smilax. The grand march, in which all participated, began the evening. During this programs for the coming dance were distributed by a small George and an equally diminutive Martha. After this the minuet was danced by eight colonial couples dressed in blue, pink, green, and yellow. Dancing followed during which button-hole boquets of sweet peas were given to the gentlemen and pink carnations to the ladies, as favors. During the evening frappe was served upstairs in the dance hall and ice and cakes down stairs. The next day pictures were taken of the minuet group and any other group which had the energy to again array itself. These pictures serve as the subiect of many bright tales and memories in days later. Such is the 'Washington Party which has been an institution and a pleasure in the college for many a year. This is the kind of a party at which some girls scoii when they say How can a dance be fun withjus! girls. If any one is so deluded let her just attend the May Party, which comes with the violets in the spring, or the Washington Party, which comes with the snows in winter, and I ani sure she will change her mind at once. At any rate the impression left on my young Freshman inind was one of a whirl of bright colors and faces, and of very joy in belonging to a college where such good-will united all. A. L B.

Such a privi- lege and pleasure was extended to the Rockford College girls and their friends in the pianoforte lecture-recital of Mr. Edward Baxter Perry, the blind musician. This recital took place in the college chapel on Wednesday' evening, November eleventh, 1908, under the auspices of Miss Snell and the two sororities, Kappa Theta and Chi Theta Psi. The performance was very instructive as well as entertaining, for Mr Perry gave a short lecture before each number, telling us ofthe circumstances under which each was composed and what the composer meant to represent in each part of the composition. In this way, much of the music which was not fully appreciated by us before, was enjoyed to the utmost and was estimated by us at its real value. Mr. Pe-rry's programme was as follows: Srhzmzazzzz . . Carnaval, Op. 9 Lfsf: . . Liebestaum, No. 3 Lzlvfs Rhapsodie Hougroise, No. 6 Ii'111J1'1z.vfz'1'11 . Kainennoi-Ostrow, NO. 22 G1'12jgLg', . . Troll Dance from Peer Gynt Suite lf. B. l'f'1'13' . . . Aeolienne lf. l?. !1'rry . . Ballade of Last Island 1 Clnyrin . . . Andante Spianato and Polonaise After the recital, a reception was given in the sorority rooms in Adams Hall. These rooms were decorated with yellow and white chrysanthemums and presented a very festive appearance. Frappe was served in both rooms by the girls, and the guests, among whom was Mr. Perry himself, spent a very pleasant hour. Many people from the city of Rockford had come to take advantage of the chance to hear Mr. Perry play, and they also attended the reception. Mr. Perry is a man of wonderful talent, and the fact that he has had so much to overcome in mastering his art, makes it an unusual treat to hear one of his recitals, and the girls who were fortunate enough to hear him are left with a memory which will last them through years of music most instruc- tive and entertaining.

The May Party HEN the violet looks up from its shelter of green, And the rohin and blnebird appear, And the lengthening suns of young Summer are seen, That's the happiest time of the year. For the May-Queen comes forth from her rustic retreat, Bedecked all with violets blue, To hold court at the College, her subjects to greet, To receive their allegiance-her due. A hand of May-dancers with garlands of green, Lead her to the flower-hung throne, XVhere she kneels and pays homage to last year's queen, Then is crowned, and comes into her own. The old queen is first the new sovereign to greet And, kneeling, receives at her hand .X forget-me-not crown: a token full meet Of the honor in which she'll e'er stand. 'llhen music is heard, and the dancers begin The time-honored May-dance so light, .Xnd around the old oak they weave out and in With the rihhons of purple and white. When evening has come the scene is all changed See-the campus deserted, a glance ls sufficient to tell us the Queen is not here She has gone with her court to the dance. H. H. and R. B. II E74l 4' The Basketball Game ' NE day the Sophomores sent the Freshmen a little note, inviting them to play a game of basket-ball. In almost less than no time they received the acceptance, couched in surprisingly similar terms. December 5 was set as the dale, and the two teams redoubled their efforts in practice. lCuriously enough, they had been practicing before.i Several layers of wax had been removed from the gymnasium Hoor and a simple but effective design applied in black. fAll those familiar with the game know that these lines are to aid the inexperienced players.l It was interesting to note the class colors. The Sophomores chose old rose because Miss Burnham liked old rose, and they liked Miss Burnhamg and the Freshmen chose green because well, just because.-The guests, in order to display their class-spirit, had at- tempted to carry out the color scheme, but, in many cases, patriotism had brought on color- blindness to an alarming degree. The whistle brought the linesmen and the players to their places. For one tense moment everyone was quiet. Again the whistle sounded and the ball was tossed up. Biff! it shot towards one end, right into a guard's hands. Over, way over to the other end it went. Foul, said the umpire accusingly. Lined up for the free throw, everyone watched the girl with the ball. Once she swung it, again, gauging the distance: again, and it spun through the air, hit the basket-rim, and bounced outside. Four players lunged for the ball. Foul, said the umpire. Double foul, amended the referee. With a few minutes lost and no points gained, the ball was tossed up again. Down it went to the Freshmen end, back to the other end. Foul on Freshman. The Sophomores gained one point and the great shout from the girls in old-rose only partly drowned the sigh from those in green. Again the ball was tossed up in the center. It whirled above frantic arms, bounced against the wall and sent four girls sliding across the fioor after it. Over the line. Double foul, was their reward. And so the score crept up, and stopped, and crept up again. Time, called the time-keeper. The score board read: Sophomores 93 Freshmen 11. Yell after yelllcame from the crowd along the lines. Not that they had been quiet dur- l76l mg the game Oh no' but that no one had notlced them Thelr repertolre was unllmlted and the volume was as great as could be deslred Agam the players took thelr places but what s the use? the second half was llke un to the first Score Sophomores 12 Freshmen 19 More yells Yes and more yells And nobody hurt or damage done except that the umplre broke three whlstles and wore off her finger polntlng fouls Fouls there IS one point yet unsettled Did the umpire call only fifty five fouls or was lt fifty slx and was breaklng game but all the whlle It was belng played thls llttle earth of ours kept revolv mg and rotatlng as It has and w1ll for mllllons of years Refelee Miss BURNHAM Umpzze Mlss VIALL SOPHOMORES Lmeup FRESHMEN VIVIAN MCFARLAND Center ELs1E CARR BERTHA HUNTER Rzght forwaid RUTH IDE NORMA ALLEN Lejt forward GERTRUDE LU'rz MARGUERITE MORRISON Rzght guard DEBORAH CARR FRANC J UDD Le t gaard GLADYs PARKS B4 B4 l77l . l . .

Yes, it was a record A .f . . lII. is T seems early to begin to think of commencement week in February, but no sooner are the mid-year examinations over and the new semester begun than C we give some thought at least to that important week in Iune. For weeks the girls have awaited anx- iously the announcement of the Commencement play, which is of interest to every girl in school. The cast is chosen from among the entire student body and the re- hearsals begiu for a play that everyone is determined to , make the very best that the College has ever produced. lt means work, hard work, and the sacrifice of time and pleasures: but who is not willing to do this for the sake g of taking part in a production that is ever recognized as 5 l something really worth while? The presentation of a Shakespearean play during the annual Commencement exercises is a custom at Rockford College and an event looked forward to by the old girls who return to their .Xlma Hater for the week as well as by all the town friends of the College. P Nlidsnmmer Nightls Dream was the play chosen for H108 and under the direction of Mrs. lla Irvine . limmott was really one of the most successful that the 0 girls have ever presented. The play, so pleasing in it- Fl self, offered opportunity for unusually attractive settings and pieturestpie .Xthenian costunring. Especially effective were the scenes in which the fairy baud appeared. Sixteen of the most charming fairies ol' the tpieen's train danced 'neath the soft lights and shad- ows of the wooded groves near .Xthens. The different characters of the play were all well interpreted by the girls who took the parts and showed tl wide range of dramatic ability among the cast. The comedy parts were cleverly done and won great applause from the house. Equally strong were the roles of the lovers and of those who enacted the various other characters that make up the cast of the comedy. .X good sized audience, both of people personally interested in the Col- lege and of those who h.1ve come to consider the annual Shakespearean play as well worth seeing aside from any personal interest they may have in it, filled the Opera House the evening of Tuesday, June oth. The Rockford girls had won added glory in the dramatic line and had set even higher the standard of the Shakespearean production at Rockford College. F.

They then separated and grouped themselves in the background, forming a pleasing picture against the smooth green of the sunlit campus. The different class offerings were clever and Well given The Juniors presented The Lady of Shalott, acted in pantomine, as the reader near the audience upon the terrace gave the story of the Lady in her tower faith- fully guarding the shield, and of her hopeless love for Launcelot. Then followed the Sophomore class, with the picturesque Marriage of Alan a Dalell given with the quaint costuming of the time of Robin Hood, Little John, and Friar Tuck. It included a minuet dance by the shepherd- esses and the bold Knights of the Greenwood. The Freshman class, with the humility and sportiveness proper to child- hood, then presented a few of Mother Goosels children, who were introduced to the audience by the Babies in the Wood. There were the four and twenty blackbirds, not to mention Little Bo Peep, Contrary Mary, Little Jack Horner, Little Miss Netticoat, jack and Jill, and others. Even t'Little Star dropped down and twinl-:led in their midst as they sang a song to 1911. The Freshmen were followed by the preparatory students who gave a flower dance which was a gay and beautiful picture of warm color and life. The daffodils, carnations, daisies, thistles and bluebells wound in and out in the dance, presenting a series of tableaux to the enthusiastic audience. Following this came the Senior ceremony when the classes, marching in long interlacing lines, assembled to watch the formal transfer, by the Senior president to the president of juniors, of the cap and gown, the badge of seniority. Then after a short intermission the Rockford College colors were slowly raised on the fiagstaff in the cupola, while the heart of every loyal daughter of our Alma Mater thrilled with love and pride. As the Hag was being raised the semi-chorus on the cupola and the body of students on the campus sang an antiphonal Flag-song. Qu Tuesday evening the annual Shakespeare play was given, that for 1908 being Hllidsummer Night's Dream. Wednesday morning, Iune Io, brought the Commencement Exercises. The Commencement address was delivered by Dr. john Merle Coulter of the University of Chicago, whose subject was Elements of Power. These elements according to Dr. Coulter, are Enthusiasm, Preparation, Observation, Adaptation, and Growth. His treatment of his subject was forcible and impressive. Following a selection by the semi-chorus, President Julia H.

A body of Modernicus Slangerici has been formed with Miss Misener as chief for the purpose of extricating the poor maiden from her prison house so that she may wander freely in a pure American air.

He must find out the human destinies that were being intermingled twisted, and altered, in the midst of that irresistible ire, even if he himself were scorched by the contact. His feet scarcely felt the quivering of the bridge beneath them, or the hard stones of the pavement in the narrow streets. He knew only the in- toxication of his burning mind, the ardor of seeking an unknown mission. However, the way was long, and his breath came in short, quick puffs before he had climbed the almost interminable slope, and when at length he reached the summit, the damp, shivering fog of twilight had replaced the sunset glow. Separated by unused building lots from the insignificant cottages on either side, and screened from the street by a grove of towering elm trees, stood the old house, dull and sombre in its sequestered dignity. Its blind window-panes reflected the light from the street lamp with a deadened gleam, as if to prove that the last traces of life had deserted it, so the boy thought. lVith the tightening pain of disappointment in his throat, he was turning away, when a sudden, impish gust of wind blew out the Hickering street lamp, and extinguished the mimicing windows. Strangely enough, a pud- dle of faint, yellow light, which he had not noticed before, glimmered over a high, narrow porch at one side of the house. People lived there, after all! He hesitated for an instant, while a vague, intangible fear struggled against his determination, but the stubborn purpose won. Down between the huge, shadowy tree-trunks where sweeping branches brushed against his face, he steadily crept. Cold shivers, like the clammy hands of ghosts, stole down his back, and the mist, like the fold of a spirit's robe, half-veiled his eyes. When at length, he reached the flight of stairs which ascended to the porch, and stopped to listen, he heard distinctly the firm footsteps of someone pac- ing to and fro in the room above. The noise gave him a certain confidence, for no uuearthly creature could make so strong a sound, and the fellowship one feels in knowing that another human being is near, replaced his terrors of the gloom. Supporting himself by the weather-worn railing, he crawled silently, step by step, up the stairs until he reached the surface of the porch, which creaked mournfullv under his weight. Close to him was a low open window, a little further on, a dark door which was shut, and opposite the window in a corner where the light from the room within could not pene- trate, a thick mass of leafless vines furnished an admirable hiding place. The boy glided softly into this corner. Through the open window he could see a room which had been richly furnished some thirty years ago, and although the carpet and upholstering were a trifle threadbare and the wood- f92l yy ork darkened by ave tl1ere were st1ll v1s1ble traces of splcndor Opposlte tl1e doorway stood a large f1re place of reddlsh gray marble upheld 011 Cllllel' slde by '1 col11n111 w1th a sc11lptured twmmcr 1Vy deswn llpOl1 It and crowned wlth a tarn1shed gold clock wl11cl1 l1ad ceased to run 111 years long past the left of the tire place h11ng a portralt of a 1n1ddle aged 1na11 tl11n, sharp eye and SH11l1110' enclrcled by a mlt frame wh1ch was qu1te as tarnlshed as the clock The f11rn1ture ugly and cl eerless, for the most part of mahogany upholstered 1n a deep blue plush threw gaunt sl1adows 1nto the d11n llght NVl'l1Cl1 was scattered from a d11sty glass lamp on a slde table The Wl1OlC room gave the 1II1pl'6SSlOI1 of tl1e last useless days of a mall who has outhved h1s fr1ends and who 1S patlently Waltlllg for the call of death Close to the fire place 1n a plush l1ned rocker sat a l1ttle old lady who seemed to be the very Splflt of the roo111 Her wh1t1sl1 gray harr was care fully parted and CI'1lI1pCd over l1er wr111kled forehead and below 1t, her brown eyes over wh1ch age had dropped a soft mug f1l1n a11d l1er th111 droop1ng hps, st1ll sm1led half wearlly at tl1e l1v1ncr world What an 111descr1able ex p1ess1on the net work of wrlnkles had woven over l1er face a th1n web of Her th1n hands were clasped IH l1er lap and each moment she cl111ched tl1em twhtly together, as her mouth bent 1n pa1n and a low slgh escaped her l1ps But I do not understand she m111nured sadly I never saw you be fore to nlfrht, and you see I expected my l1ttle boy home acfam He s been gone such a long long t1me And when you ca1ne, I thought rt was l1ttle Henry commfr back to me I do11 t know who you C311 be look111g for but I m frettmfr pretty well along 1n years s1r and I can't remember eyerythlnv Carr1e, my old servant g1r1 has Gone over to the nelfrhbor s house because 1t's so lonesome for her here but when she returns she can tell you where your mother hves, I thmk The man turned away, a11d brushed hrs ar1n across h1s eyes He was not handson1e, but there was a strength and a s1ncer1ty 111 hls firm moutl1 a11d chm, and a p3SS1OI13tC earnestness IH h1s dark eyes that made hrm far more remarkable than the 1naJor1tv of ha11dso1ne men He was a man wl1om con1pan1ons would be proud to call then frlend, and by whose power women would be fascrnated h1s 1nother IUIISI have adored hlm Mother' mother' he c11ed go1ng towards her Do11t you k11ow me mother?

I93l After john died, and didnlt leave scarcely anything except the old house, the older boys thought they ought to try to earn their own livings, she rambled on. t'Ned went into the navy and became an ofiicer, he used to send back part of his salary to me every month, and once a year he came home again. Ned was the eldest of the three, and I was proudest of him. He was killed in the Spanish War. jim went to India as a missionary, and never came back,-he never even wrote to me. God knows what became of him. I bore it all faithfully, and perhaps I could have endured more while I had little Henry with me. I lived only for him, and if you had seen him, per- haps you wouldn't wonder. He was only a little child-only ten when he left me-with flashing black eyes and soft hair that was always tumbled, -impetuous, sensitive though he tried not to show it, earnest, and loving. It was so, so hard to give him up, my little boy, but it was for the best, and I was strong enough to do it. I couldn't give him any advantages because I was too poor, and Cousin George could give him everything. George had no children of his own, and he wanted to bring up Henry and leave all his fortune to him. Henry seemed broken hearted when he left, but as he was only a little child I suppose he got over it. George wouldn't even let him write to ine, and I have lived all these years-twenty long years-without hearing from him. I don't see how Idid it now,-twenty years without any interest or aim in life. No wonder I am old! But yesterday he wrote a let- ter to me, saying that he would come home again, for George is dead. I know Ishouldn't, but I am glad that George is dead, for little Henry can come home again. My little hoyl VVhy don't you come? It's getting late, for my eyes are getting hazy and tired. Youlll break my heart, little lad, if you don't come, now. I want to run my wrinkled fingers through your towsled hair, I want to hold you in my arms, again. Come home tome, come home. Her quavering voice ebbed awav in the silence, as she buried her face on the arm of the chair. The man paced up and down the room, misery and anguish stamped deep into his features. He clutched back the disheveled locks from his forehead, and staggering to the door, threw it wide open, as if gasping for breath The yellow light fell full upon the crouching form of the frightened boy, who recoiled farther into the corner. Yet no wave of surprise crept over the man's face, it was the face of a drowning man who makes his last grasp for a floating spar. It is the only chanceg he groaned, Good Heaven, what she has suf- fered! I wasn't worth it. And then, after a silence, May God be mercifullll He grasped the boy by the shoulders, and drew him toward the threshold with so firm a grip that he winced and cried out in pain. f94l Go to her, go to her, boy. Tell her that you are Henry, come back again. Tell her you love her. Oh go! I will give you anything you wish. Only go! The boy struggled out of his hands. His sensitive face was marked with pity and reflected pain, and his black eyes gleamed with ardor, as he tossed back his dark crowned head with a proud resolve. ,UI know, I know, sir. You needn't tell me. I shall go, because I want to! He rushed impetuously past the man, across the shadow-traversed room to the woman's side. At her feet he knelt down, and gently lifted her bowed head toward's his boyish face. Mam1na,mamma, I'm your little boy. I've come home again. Oh I'm so happy! It looksjust as it did before I left. Darling mamma, look at me! At the first word, her eyes had opened in wonder A look of heavenly joy, of perfect fullfilment, came into them, and then as if the happiness were too much to bear, she sank back weakly into the chair. Kiss her, child, prompted the' man, in a choking voice, and the child putting his arms around her neck, imprinted a hot kiss on her cheek. My little son, she murmured, The lamp Hickered on the table, and the long shadows leaped back and forth across the room. There was no sound but the broken sobbing of the man.
