Class Historian CUPOLA-ROCKFORD COLLEGE To 1913 In sight of cloudland and the blue of hills, In face of sunset and an evening star, Crieth the universe to one and all- Vlihatever comes to you, be what you are! Somewhere upon your lives the marks are made That tell of all your past, the total count Of joys and cares the Fates have on you laid, Bright mornings, depths of night, the noonday sun, Red of an oak's first leaves, a sickle moon, Shadows upon the campus, bluish white of snow in hollows, Summer heat to fight against, winter winds to conquer- lYork to do, and play, and self to master, Hopes you've built again That crumbled even faster- Petty things you've overlooked in others Throttled in yourself- Ideas you have caught on wing And made your own, Plans you have completed, Or incomplete, have left to dieg l?.vening's pleasures, dance to music, Springtime walks, the games you've joined, The things you just forgot to do That some one had to do for you, Things you started, but which years to come shall finish, The books you've read, the friends you've won,- For all of these the world demands a tollg A toll on those past pleasures, that you give the world To garner healthful lasting fruit of them, A toll on that past weakness, that it turn to strength, And on the strength you've won that it grow service. A toll on all, the world demands of you To show yourselves both fine and strong lYorthy of the Alma hlater to which you still belong. 4 CUPOLA-ROCKFORD COLLEGE 1914 Limericked Klae Andrews has sweet auburn hair, Such as by experts is deemed rare, But she curls it so frizzily That everyone dizzily Hvonders what Cubist designed le mysteref' Helen Bartlett has a rare time Be weather forecasts rain to shine, And there's naught but truth in it, She can do in a minute, Mischief more than pup King could design. lflorence Benson at early morn Hastens to Lab before 'tis dawn And there you may find her If ever you've timed her From daylight's break, till daylight's gone .X certain young lady named Blair, Used to say on the sly, l declare - I could teach, if you'd get me The lasses and let me, Phys or Zoo without turning a hair. ,lean Booker, l'm glad to relate, Tho' she left our school to its fate, After two years Co-ed , Back to R. C. she sped, And reclaimed us before ,twas too late. Cecil Butler in realms of art Has a charm that wins the heart, And ever ready With a steady Glow of cheer, she does her part. Une evening a missive did dive Out of Helen Clarli's room, 85, And I'll wager a lunch, I've a pretty good hunch, That she blushes at five forty-five. CUPOLA-ROCKFORD COLLEGE There is a young maid sweet and neat, Wiho likes candy better than meat, Olive Johnson's her name, And you'll find her true game, Wiant to meet her? Come on, it's a treat. Betty's actions are never unseemly She lives her own life quite serenelyg When you see her look pale She is writing a tale, This lady both kingly and queenly. Wihen Fran Madison goes to take the air She is indeed a sight most rare, For she does stride From side to side And drive her friends to deep despair. Mary McF in this game is a trump 0 Lightly inclined to the caption of plump. But be that as you wot Thereis one thing sheis got, And thatis a first class capability bump. Genevieve IVIorrison once did view An An or so, in History II, It must have been pluck Or else marvelous luck Anyway, who that view would eschew? Beth Newman's an athlete ambitious, Fate is kind to her, Luck most propitiousg O'er the BroomH she has sped, Met the floor with her head And bounced up with a smile, mAh-delicious' There is a young lady named HB VVho presides over House Committeeg Exercises her powers In the wee bit sma' hours Wihile others sleep on peacefully. From six feet five I look on high To see Lucile Ralston passing by If I ask when I meet her V Wihere next I may seek her, Itls easy to guess- Second Cong's'7 the reply i CUPOLA-ROCKFORD COLLEGE p A certain young lady named Ransom, VVho is deemed by her friends very handsome, lVent up one day To a prom, so they say, Since then therelve been dailies from Rladison. ln earnestness comes Jessie Reid To hoary Learning's Halls, indeed. Then see her smile, And know the while, That Learning has not got her tree'd. Klaie Waller is fair, fat and jolly, For all of her pride and her folly, Like a parrot she 'talked And so very well mocked That her friends have rechristened her Polly. Of Ruth lYanstrom, this a prognostication lYith just a word of explanation, Five hundred she plays And with such winning ways That we fear she has already found her vocation. Klyrtle YYeldon's a sparkling Scotch lass Full of ginger and pep, a la place, A cake she will bake youg And well nigh will make you Find the Garden of Eden in sweet apple sass. Leila lYhite, nor is't misstated, Is of pure stuff, not silver plated. While her eyes so keen And her hair's bright sheen lkere by the elves themselves created. Xlarguerite Yloodrull, a maiden from Klich., Does up her hair in a fluffy Greek psyche Not Psychology But Biology ls her favorite twice weekly scholastical dish. CLASS OFFICERS FRANCES M.

No, nothing whatso- ever. Of course not. They never do anything. They make no vast achieve- ments in scholarship and research such as other classes boast. They have no pep. They don't know a hockey ball from a tennis court. They never steal all the Easter bonnets in school, they never Italian lunch everybody in sight, nor scour the place for rags and old iron, nor make brandied dates, nor- anything. No. You never yet saw a Sophomore make a commotion in the dining room. No indeed. Not even when the faculty are off entertaining'a convention of C. P's. Pete has no idea of the ser- iousness which we of Rockford College attach to the study of the liver, Izzy hasnit the ghost ol a notion as to how the Germans walk, H. Heflron doesnit know atthing about the head of our Home Economics Department, and Landon, True, and Hulson may be said to have no comprehension what- ever of the inner workings of such minds as those of Signorina, Miss Lowater, and lyliss YVatters. It isn't the Sophomores who are into every- thing in school, up to all the mischief, doing all the work, running the whole place. Not at all. l should say not. By no means. ' Dondee, the original Sophomore, is perhaps typical of what the class should be-always alert, receptive of mind, eager to please, and energetic beyond our poor power to express. Although short as to leg, it cannot be denied that he covers the ground at a rapidity of some several miles a minute. Emulate him, sisters of IQI5! QUEL FUN! CHALLENGE! Pete-Edwards, a hot pair.

SOPHOMORE SHORTCCMINGS There are some particular little fail- ings among our number which it seems the duty of our editorial pen to correct. Maud lylarie must be warned that her hair is too light as to shade and should be treated at once with a good quality of writing ink, Dottie Edwards should be encouraged to take heart when called on in class and share with the world some of the treasures which lie stored in her well-filled mind-We need her assistance in Sophomore English, Rhea must not talk so much in History I., and Eva simply muff restrain that loud, harsh voice of hers.

Of course, the rules made in previous years must not be tampered with thoughtlessly, nor must too great heed be paid to the ideas of a few revolutionists among the studentsg but as the school grows larger, and the student body changes its character slightly from year to year, a corresponding change is often desirable in the Student Self-Government Or- ganization. This year, the senior class has been asked to share some of the responsibility which was felt formerly only by the House Committee. This seemed the best way to lighten the extra burden which has been placed upon the Committee since the building of John Barnes Hall has nearly doubled the dormitory capacity. The next step in advance will probably be the substitution of the Honor System for the Proctor System in the observance of House Rules. This change has been tried with success in several individual halls, and it is hoped that before long the Honor System will be well established. As soon as this is done, the Student Gov- ernment Organization will be well on the road to true Self-Government, the ideal for which we are all striving. ' OFFICERS BE.-XTRICE Osrnoxr . . .

W'aites, for the purpose of giving the students of the classics a better knowledge of old Greek and Roman customs. This idea was carried out last year by the presentation of the Latin play, The Captiviw of Plautusg by a Roman banquet, and by a Descent to Avernusn when the new members were initiated. This year the club secured Professor Wright of Beloit College to speak before the student body on Greek Games, and Miss Eddy of Rockford High School to give an il- lustrated talk on Travels through Greecef, The initiation of 1913 was conducted under the direction of Miss Marian Gibson, faculty adviser for the year, twelve new members were added to the club list, making a total of about twenty-five. Old and new members have taken a special interest in the work of this year, and there is every indication of continued activity and growing enthusiasm for the work in the years to come.

There are few of us who shall not recall with deep satisfaction the happy Thursday night meetings of the Deutscher Yerein. Oh, we dOn't meet solely to gossip or enjoy the sandwiches, salad and coffee-we have a percolator of our Own this year!-We always talk German: and Fraeulein Behrens reads aloud some thrilling romance from Faber Land und .llrfr and we can never go home before we have made the walls ring with the honest hearty songs from our new Deutsches l,iederbuch. There is pure pleasure in the transformed Senior room. bright and gay with flowers. Our happiest meeting was the Christmas Far! the night before we left for the holidays. We danced around the Tanizfnbannz, singing all the gay Christmas songs until the f:lII'l..!'IkliI1d came with presents for each Of us. .-After we ate real German Kiiflzviz, we sang U Tannenbaumn and Stille Nacht in the quadrangle in the softly falling snow. If Christmas had not been in Our hearts before that night, it certainly crept in then. Then. the night of the Yalentine's live reception, we showed enthusiastic Out- siders how German fairy-land might be. Erlkofnigf Tocllffr danced strange, wild dances, calling her nymphs to her. The witch enticed simple little llama! and Crrlrl from the woods: Fran lloldf dispensed nectar from the fountain Of youthg Dorurofflzrn, just awakened, smiled up at her prince and .-lfclzmzbrodel danced a stately minuet. So you see the Deutscher Yerein is close to our hearts. Twice a month we put aside perplexing problems and real worries to frolic together in the satisfying German way.

And as Rockford College prides herself on keeping abreast with the times, she considers the Current Events Club one of her most valued assets. Each Friday afternoon while the coffee is percolating nearby, the members freely exchange ideas and information concerning the current events of the week, and often most convincing arguments ensue. Such subjects as the divorce ques- tion, woman suffrage, the work of the vice commission, and the trouble with Great Britain about tolls for the use of the Panama Canal have been discussed. These talks are supplemented by reports upon standing topics, as womenis activi- articles which bear upon the subject to be dissec KATIIRYN KLXDDOCK . . ted.

The class spirit and enthusiasm in sport which has been built up during the last two years materialized this year in the splendid team work and loyalty of Field Day and Demonstration Night. For the first time the four classes have supported teams in hockey and basketball. R's have been given not only on Field Day to the Seniors qualified, but also on Demonstration Night to Seniors and Juniors who have worked up during the year and have shown themselves worthy of them. This spirit of loyalty took substantial form on Demonstration Night when the Association presented to the Endowment Fund the sum of fifty dollars while at the same time a similar amount was presented by the Physical Department.

SOQIELVY 58 CUPOLA-ROCKF ORD COLLEGE The Tolo Initiation THE WILD WEST sHoW After three days of hurried preparation, the new girls publicly manifested the vastness of their wit in the form of a wild west show, their formal initiation into Tolo Club, under the able direction of Louise Boone and Ruth Burleson, the lVild Vl'est Show took definite form. The performance started with a long parade of all the participants, accompanied by the martial music of Florence Eggertls band. Of course no parade can be complete without a calliope, and so this delightful instrument was represented by a small wagon plainly labeled Calliope, wherein sat Elizabeth Warwick, evoking celestial strains from a toy piano. First the tribe of hair-raising Indians captured a fair, trembling maiden, who was rescued from a horrible death by a brave company of cowboys and girls. One striking feature of the show was the pantomimic interpretation of Sir Lochinvarn to the reading of the poem. Especially noteworthy was the steed, made from a saw horse with a cardboard head and a rope tail, so firey that it felt scarcely con- strained by even the strong hand of Lochinvar, to heel a good base line down the gymnasium floor. The greatest of talent was displayed in a large number of side shows. Ruth Burleson, as Tony, the Tolo Toe Twister, made us all envious, with her well trained toes. Did not your blood run cold when you saw Carey Butler, the wild man from Borneo? And Blue Beard's Hives-ah, couldn't they satisfy your wildest love of the gruesome? In one booth was the man in the making of whom nature became confused and put the feet where the head ought to be. There were fascinating oriental dancers and strong men who downed every op- ponent. Last, but not least, came the skillful snake charmers, who wound boas and garters about their fairinecks with the greatest ease and calmest assurance. During the entire performance cunning clowns tumbled around, making fun for everybody, and irresistable peanut boys handed out their welcome wares. A hearty welcome 1916! CUPOLA-RocKFoRD COLLEGE 59 The H allowe'en Party- At one oiclock on the morning of October twenty- sixth, one of the few surviving witches dismounted her broomstick, and, with a laugh like the crackling of dry leaves, tethered her steed to a dark cloud. If therels one night I do enjoy, she creaked to an invisible auditor, it,s Hallowelen. What curious ideas those Rockford girls must have about our sisterhood! She could scarcely control her dry chuckles enough to continue, As if you could get any of our family to dance about for a whole evening in such a ridiculous fashion! And ruin her digestion with cider and dough- nuts! Although, when you really come to consider it, the funniest thing of the whole aiofair was the company they placed us in. Just imagine any self-respecting witch associating with cowboys and peasant girls and Spanish dancers and Indian maidens! I laughed so loudly at my window that I expected to be discovered at any minute! What hurt my dignity,'7 said her Grimalkin, emerging from the shadows, was that cat they had there. I consider such a cariacature an insult to my tribe. The creature had a gait like an earthworrn, and a carriage like a camel. I heard some of those girls whispering, too, that its tail was made of a hockey stick, whatever that may be. Oh, come now,,'. said his mistress, you needn't get so huffy. As I said, I always enjoy these little functions, even if the girls aren't particularly well informed as to the personal habits of witches. Being out so much in this night air is so bad for my rheumatisrn that I7m not in good trim for dancing, or I'd have been tempted to go in and give them some pointers on the art. None of their foolish waltzes or two-steps, or Bostons, but what I call dancing. How often did you say they gave these affairs? Only once a year, replied the Grimalkin. Dear me, with a sigh, uthat's quite a while to Wait. I think they would have them oftener if they knew that as I watched I say a charm for them which makes their feet lighter while they dance, and their sleep the sweeter afterwardf, 60 CUPOLA-ROCKFORD COLLEGE The Junior Freshman Dance On Saturday night, October fifth, the Juniors entertained their sister classmates at an informal dance in the gymnasium. There is a pleasure which comes from this annual event which we believe to be keener than that derived from any other inter-class festivity. It arises from the task of showing the new girls just how thoughtful, sympathetic and loyal old girls of Rockford College may be. Besides, it offers the best of opportunities to get acquainted, and start new friendships for the year. A On this night the gymnasium was decorated in green and yellow. Green crepe paper lowered the ceiling and gave a touch of out-door colorto the chrysanthemum covered trellis work, behind which the orchestra played. Chairs and settees in the annex, with best of all, two frappe tables, were as inviting between numbers as the calls of harp and violin with each succeeding dance. The Freshman-Junior Luncheon One day early in last November, the boss told us girls who wait on table at the Nelson, that a bunch of girls from Rockford College was coming to the hotel the next day for luncheon. I was anxious to see what it would be like, for I was just a new girl at the business then, and this was the first really big affair I'd seen. The next morning we set the round tables in the big dining room, and a few girls from the college came and decorated them. On each table they put a pretty basket filled with the loveliest little yellow Howers and dainty, trailing, green vines, and at each cover, a cunning place-card done in yellow and green. The big dining room is ordinarily quite a grand, solemn place, but that morning it looked like a bit of fairyland. We had heard that the party was being given to the junior class by the Fresh- men, but we couldn't tell which were which as they gathered in the large hallg they all seemed on such good terms with each other. Soon the receiving line, as Esther called it, formed, and all the girls shook hands with each one inthe line and then came into the dining room and found their places. Shades of evening! I never saw such a bunch of girls in my life! There were over a hundred of them, including the chaperones, whom we couldn't tell from the rest. Some of the girls were awfully pretty, and a lot of them were dressed just swell. Some were'nt so pretty, of course, but they were all dolled up in their best. It was sort of funny to watch them, some talked and laughed and tried, at least, to look unconcerned, as if used to such style, but a good many of them were rather painfully fussed. They sat up and talked very primly, smiled politely, and watched everybody else to see which fork to use. I'll bet a lot of them were wiser when they left than they had been when they came. By the second or third course, the stiffness had worn off some, and everyone seemed to enjoy the eats, which, by the way, were some of the chef's best. It all made me almost wish that I were a college girl tool CUPOLA-ROCKFORD COLLEGE 61 How the Vote Was Won Do you know the difference between a suifragist and a suflragette? You know, they say that the first one is what your grandmother would be if she believed in the extension of franchise, while the other is a horrible concoction of England and the funny papers, who loudly demand women's rights. But what would one call an individual who advocates ladies' suffrage Cas we heard it called once in an ama- teur debatej but employs rather radical, if not violent, means of obtaining it? The problem of answering this question was thrust upon us by the Dramatic Club when it gave the play entitled How the Vote Was Won. We have never found a good name for the sufiragist-ettes who appeared on the boards then, but we would like to be one of them for they got what they wanted, and no lives were lost!

The December Promenade With home-gting but a week away, what better could we have done on the fourteenth of last December to anticipate the gaiety of the Christmas season and help speed the intervening study hours than-promenade? Possibly you think that we really meant to say dance Ye-e-s, but first we met our guests, did we not, and led them thro' the intricacies of -lohn Barnes Hall, to the gymnasium annex? Then we surely prc-menaded in true style about the gymnasium in the grand march. But walking all evening to music which does not seem to have been made for the little skip in our feet, is not like dancing. And so we danced! Red shaded lights brightened up the walls and ceilings of green boughs and made especially inviting between numbers the be-cushioned seats in the annex. Envious spectators from Chapel Hall and John Barnes say that it rained that evening. Perhaps it did, but it dampened our spirits not one whit-not even when we ran across the court for refreshments in Middle Hall. RLICLIPTIOX LINE RoBERT,i Rwxsom MR. .xxo Mas. F. F.

We, who have experienced it one or more times, look forward with eager anticipation to a repetition of its pleasures-pleasure which is not unalloyed in all cases, if perchance our rented dress suit was built for aperson of slighter frame. Dress suitli Ah, that is the key to the situation. Half of us dress ourselves in dress suits and escort the other half to the promenade, a most formal promenade, in fact, with nothing lacking in the way of white kid gloves and a reception line. VVith what indecision are we torn, as to whether we, qualified by spirit and practice to lead, shall be a gentleman and so sure of attending, or run the risk of being in- vited and be free of the expenses involved. Cases have been known where damsels acted on the principle that every year is leap year and invited promising umenw with the understanding that expenses should be divided equally. On the night of January eighteenth, the dining room resounded with the sonorous voices of many men. The flirtation, which Was most shocking, began with the last dinner bell and continued thro' the evening. After dinner came the ordeal of the receiving line. Personages such as lvlrs. Hobart Chatheld-Taylor, NIissl.DeClare Hardware, Mr. Jiminy Christmas and Miss lvlerry Christmas, had their tongues sorely twisted passing in such names as Herr Ludwig Dinchenspiel von dem Universitat Leipzig, Count Your hlany Blessings, Countess As One, Baron Do-Nothing and'Lady Bug. The poet, Shelley O'Riley, was also among those present. A grand march led by Miss Brand and Mr. Yankey opened the evening of danc- ing in the gymnasium. Gwing to the strenuous efforts which the men were obliged to make, they visited the punch bowls frequently and lingered there each time until the strains of the next dance warned them that they had best look about for the next partner. , ' As all good things must end,the relentless ringing of the ten olclock bell called us from the land of romance and stiff collars to the land of Nod and-comfort.

The Freshman Informal On the night of Saturday, February fifteenth, the Freshmen entertained their guests at the annual Freshman Informal. Decorations of pink and green were used, the pink roses and veiled lights glowing prettily through the ceiling of green vines. The Freshmen equaled the upper classmen in the success of their dance- if we are to take the word of the chaperones, Signorina De Fabritiis, Miss Wright, lX4iss Watters and Miss Skinner. This success was due to every one of the many who helped by lending time and thought, or by going, but especially to the class president, Elizabeth Warwick, and the committees in charge.

It was enter- tainment enough at the dinner hour to let Our imaginations wander, and to dream that we were seated in the Rockford College dining room a year Or two after the adoption of the Constitution. CSOme one will no doubt have remarked the ana- chromism by this time-but we are giving full play to our imaginationsj We had gay times discussing the management of the war funds and our favorite brand of powder. With what a burst Of enthusiasm did we respond to a call for 'cAmerical,' TOO bad we dragged so on the time, but the song is new, and we have not yet learned all the verses! The tables were decorated with the traditional cherry tree, red- shaded candles, and shields in the national colors. And the menu certainly did justice to the Occasion. After dinner we formed a grand march leading into the gymnasium. Following the lead Of George Heffron and lvlartha Beaty we formed a large W in the center of the Hoor. Then followed a minuet.

Preparations are always made for a spring fete out on the fresh, green campus, under a sunny sky. To such joyous weather did we all look forward last year, as we spent busy hours in training for fairy rings, May pole dance and goblin revels. Who could ever imagine witch-fires and fluttering fairies in a drenching rain? Impossible! Yes, but the floods, having descended upon us early that morning, swept away all our plans for an out-of-door program. President Gulliver urged the guests to remain until Monday, when the traditional ceremonies surrounding May Day would be given. Meanwhile all were invited to a musicale given in the Chapel. Time is Heet when Pleasure is the guest, and soon-too soon-it was dinner time. A buffet supper was served in the dining room, which had been changed into a garden of flowers and palms and ferns. In the garden violins and 'cellos played while we feasted upon strawberries and cream. Not many minutes later, the orchestra repaired to the gymnasium-another garden! Like children, after the pied piper we followed, to dance until the coming of the May Queen. A hush was the signal for us to form two lines, making an aisle from the door of John Barnes Hall to the throne, which had been made ready under a bower of Howers, in the gymnasium. Then came Ruth Hathaway, our Queen, lovely always, but lovelier than ever in her robe of purple and white. With a queen's own grace she passed down the aisle of friends to the throne. Sunday passed in the enjoyment of guests and friends, with music and chattering and-tricks generously performed by Don Dee. On lvfonday morning the sun shone and a clear sky promised safety to all the would-be performers. The pro- cession formed about nine o'clock, lovely little herald, Helen Kirkpatrick, leading. Around Adams Hall followed the train of court ladies, never-to-be-forgotten queen Bertha of the year before, and finally the troupe of villagers, fairies andigoblins. 5 74 CUPOLA-ROCKFORD COLLEGE y The old queen took her l seat upon the throne, and the villagers stood about in groups waiting to pay her homage. Suddenly an elfln creature clad in blue,danced fee rlessly into the midst and casting herself down be- , fore the throne, began to weep bitterly. The kind Q queen begged to know the I cause of her woe. Then, with fairy gestures, she told how the queen of Fairyland, Ruth.had been stolen away. Describe her to us, said Queen Bertha. She is slender and dark, and more beautiful than star light. Oh, cried Bertha, She is coming this very day to be our Queen of Klay. Four days ago our children, seeking violets in the woods, found her sleeping there. See! They are bringing her now to be crowned! And across the green grass camethefairy queen in court robe of purple and white. Four little children followed her lovingly. In an ecstasy of joy the fairy-child ran to call together all the merry folk of Ifairyland. Villagers. court ladies, fairies. goblins and even that stately fairy, Night, joined invdance and revel. When Dawn came. the elfin Fall frightened. scampered away, only to be called again by the queen. who declared that she had invited her two realms,and henceforth mortals and fairies should dwell together in peace.

The cere- monies are simple and yary but little from year to year. The best students of Greek and l,atin give dedicatory speeches in these languages, and the class presi- dent deliyers her salutation in lfnglish. Xkiine, milk and water are poured over the small tree to insure hardihood and long life. And yet to each separate class. the tree-planting is new and fresh with meaning, and it was with solemn and tender thoughts, O, Rockford Beloyed, that we left our young ash to grow on your campus, and become a great and beautiful blessing forever. That was at neyer-to-be-forgotten morning, when, in cap and gown, we stood in the court, ready to begin our procession. .Ns we went along under the arch and around Klain Hall, we sang the .-Xlma Xlater and our own class song. The speeches were given, the bottles which christened the tree uIQl3N were broken, and the health of the class and tree pledged in the juice of the grape. Then, singing the Toast, the procession joyously turned again to Rockford's Halls. f.: JOHN BARNES HALL Junior Ivy Day On the west side of John Barnes Hall beside the dining room Windows is an ivy plant-not very large as yet, for it was planted only last May, but destined to become a work of beauty and a source of pleasure, if the Wishes of the class of IQI3 are fulfilled. It was planted just after sunrise on a typical May morning, to the songs and blessings of the Juniors and their sister-class. The procession led from the court to the scene of planting. Here the ivy was dedicated to the school in a Latin Toast by Elice Keyt, a Greek toast by Sara Pollock, and presentation in English by Jean Anderson. Later the members of the class had breakfast together pleasantly imagining, we may suppose, just such a breakfast table several years hence, when the delicate tints of their ivy shall have made itself visible .through the dining room curtains. 78 CUPGLA-ROCKF ORD COLLEGE Faculty Recltal ' Saturday, June Eighth F.

The day was a typical,hot, tennis day and the teams played Well. The Sophomores, Helen Buck and Jenn Brown, who were the Winners ofthe cup the year before, were challenged by the Juniors, Sara Pollock and Julia Stone, who had Won their place from the Freshmen, lyladelaine Eder and Alice Parkinson, the Saturday before. The game was closely matched, good sports- manship was shown throughout. The Sophomores Won the cup with the score of 6-43 6-4. The Sophomores, since they had played together before, were Well trained in team work, the very apparent deficiency of the Juniors, who tried to make up in spirit and hard playing what they lacked in practice. After the game Miss VVatters presented the cup to the Sophomores, praising both teams for the spirit and enthusiasm shown through the hard Work of the practice games. E .

CUPOLA-ROCKFURD CGLLEGE 83 ' ..-':e,'..tf- r ANIMAL s A Midsummer Night's Dream A Midsummer Night's Dreamv has been called Shakespeare's fairy comedy. A better descriptive term could not be applied to it. For truly those who witnessed the presentation of the play on the college lawn last June could have believed it to be a veritable fairy revel. From the Entrance of Theseus and Hpypolyta to Puck's farewell speech, after the glimmering lights had died away, the audience was bound as under a spell by the alternate pathos and comedy of the woodland scene. In praising the acting of the play people we must not forget those worthies who practiced so faithfully to present the lamentable comedy of Pyhramus and Thisbe in truly classic style. The final scene between Bottom and Snout made death seem almost romantic. Surely great credit is due to lXIr. Hadfield, the managing staff, and every member of the cast and the Semi-chorus for the serious, life-like character of the entire performance. , 84 CUPOLA-ROCKFORD COLLEGE Class Day Programme TUESDAY RIORNING, JUNE 11, 1912 Processional Transfer of Cap and Gown- AGNES C.

This sight brave B and C espied, And to the ofiice quickly hied, As fast as they could waddle. They spread the news, then back they sped- At least they tried-I should have said. They wore the new spring model. Then Jerry trembling in his pride A ladder leaned against one side And mounted it with fury: .Xnother tried to do the same But through the rungs she trembling came Deluged with aqua-pury.

Before me there lay a great stretch of sand. In its very center was a patch of yellow-yellow of a familiar shade and shape. iNIercyl it was an examination book. On one edge of the book there sat a Halibut. Great tears were rolling from the eye in the center of his forehead and sobs shook him clear to the tipiof his unforked tail. By his side there sat a sad, limp Porterhouse Steak. It was the Halibut who spoke. His tone was low and mournful. 'For generationsf he said, 'the Halibut family has prided itself upon having this eye in the forehead'-and he touched the eye with a convenient nn-'and we were never known to have forked tailsgneverl' But the Halibut might as well have talked to the grains of sand at his tail. The Porterhouse Steak was not listening. Instead he was saying to himself: 'They didn't know me. They called me everything from the tail of a cow to the rib of a veal. And to think that I have served them so faithfully on Tuesday evenings! Oh, how I hate them-those Rockford College girlsl' And then loud cries were heard and toward the yellow book there rushed a motley crowd of cheeses. In their lead was Stilton. He placed a dotted head upon Rocqueforfs shoulder and he wailed aloud: 'Uh, Rocquefort, I know that you and I look something alike. but shouldn't they have known that my dots are not veins? Rocquefort patted his sobbing friend with a bluish-green veined hand. 'Never mind, old Cheesef he said. 'how'd you like to be me? They couldn't even spell my namef And the Uorgonzola, poor dear, walked all alone. His broad, Hat, yellow sides shook with sobs as he carefully rubbed an especially green vein. Those girls had forgotten him entirely. and he was a distinguished member of the Xlarked Cheese family! Then there was an awful flutter. and across the sand there hurried a chicken. Ilirath was writttn in every feather of his body. 'Salt won't make me red. I say it wonit. Kly flesh is not red and never will be red. No girl in Rockford College can make me turn red and- ' but he stopped short. For now, past that yellow book there filed a woe-begone crowd of girls. Each girl firmly grasped a 'Hunk' notice in her hand, and each shuddered as the Foods hurled their taunts at her. Such is the stuff that dreams are made of after a Klid-Year in Food Production! Tell us not by wrathful faces That you cannot take a slamg For we know of many places Ykhere we've spared you, all we can.

And what is the cause of the mumbling I wondered, but now I seeg Chemistry comes this morning For divisions A, B and C. Poor Freshmen, just hear them groaning YVill they ever survive the test? Or after the whole thing is over In the cold, stony loam will they rest? I-Iow much hair they've lost in the struggle I How much knowledge have crammed in their heads Of formulas, acids and bases, Of molecules, atoms and lead- And after the papers are graded And each has her own yellow book, See them dance and chatter and jabber Each afraid to take a look.
