SENIOR DAY In 18751, under the motto, True in everything , the Senior Class of Rockford Seminary held the first Senior Day. There were class prophecies, poems, and histories: after these had been duly given, the girls led the way to the campus, where by a newly planted maple tree at the foot of which was the class stone carved with the class numerals, Carrie Longley delivered the first Tree Gration. In the fashion of those years it dealt with woman's mission and power as the gentle influence in life. ln IQO2 there were similar ceremonies, including a garden party in the morning and a class play in the evening. In these earlier years, the day was usually called Class Day and was part of commencement week. The Seniors have left their childish follies behind, they have planted the ivy as indicative of their desire for growth invision and usefulness, and, on Senior Day. they don the Hvestments of maturity symbolic of their willingness to assume the responsibil- ities of adult life.
