Qur keynote is change: change lor the better. ln our ovvn selves, in our class as a vvhole, and in our integration vvith the college, we are looking lor something nevv and something more rewarding. For ourselves, vve are striving towards better understanding and thus better application ol the potentialities vvhich vve- possess. ln the arts, in human relations, in science, we are each looking lor that Field in which we can most etlectively vvork. For our class, we are trying to unite into an integrated vvhole, ready to Work together lor our ovvn beneht and lor that ol others. Qur First project as a class was the adoption ol Annie, our vvar orphan, vvhomvve have supported. ln this project vve can feel that we are doing a small part ol the job ol World rehabilitation. Qur class spirit has also led to enjoyment lor us right here, the sophomore vvinter weekend, we hope, has become a tradition at Rockford. ln our relations vvith the rest ol the college, vve are helping to change Rockford, to make it an even better place in which to get a double education, in the academic sense, and in the line art ol getting along vvith others. Members ol our class are serving on every organization in the school, the Whole, class supports any changes lor improvements which those organizations make. We believe that, as individuals, as a class, and as a part ol a larger community, vve can change all. ol these aspects lor the better. Thats why we are here. We also believe that our education here can show us the best way to accomplish our goal. Qur education here will be the solution to our problem of hovv best and most effectively to live up to our keynote: change lor the better. 24 TOP PICTURE: First row: Whitfield, N.

The most vital aspect is that in our student government, we are gathering together to experiment in the Field ol democratic living. We are being laced with the problems ol a democracy, electing student government oFlicers who will be capable ol guiding the student body, passing student legislation which will be judicious and lair,convincing an unusual number ol students that a student democracy is worthy ol much concern. These are the dynamic and vital elements. We Find the stagnant and discouraging aspect in the fact that student rights have never been adequately detined, and we Find ourselves desiring certain rights which would be inviolable. But the most larsighted ol us can realize that our student govern- ment is a step towards a college community government which will represent laculty, administration, and students, a democratic govern- ment which will insure the rights ol all concerned. Today we are worldng with a student government and democracy which will prepare us lor tomorrow. I I ri -V i i 1 i I JUDICIAL COMMISSION ai il D. White, Sophomore Representative, A.

The other board members follow suit, chewing celery, crunching carrots, as another bi-weeldy town student board meeting begins. Problems of the town students are tallced over: cigaret burns on new table tops, unemptied ash trays, feet on furniture, cocl4roaches in kitchen, confiscation locl4er, and unreturned coke bottles, to mention only a lew. Gr perhaps the topic might be a Christmas party, or the annual spaghetti dinner, or even the constitution. At any moment the door might be opened cautiously and another board member discovers meeting scheduled for Wednesday noon is really being held Wednesday noon. Meeting proceeds. lnlormality is the l4ey-note ol this group. ldeas are exchanged freely and plans ol action are mapped out. These plans are presented to the town students at the next meeting of the entire town student body. De- cisions are reached auiclcly and the board adjourns. Many ol the board members then rush on to other Wednesday meetings ol the organizations which they represent on the town student board.

This is the year that the Fellowship of Faiths came into being Previously we had a similar organization, the Young Womens Christian Association F- but because we wanted the full support of all the students at Rockford this year we have completely reorganized the club so that everyone can now participate in its many and varied activities. The Fellow- ship of Faiths endeavors to help each individual through a greater appreciation of her own and other faiths so that she may mature into a contributing member of society. We seek to do this in three waysgby providing an opportunity for worship, by pro- vidng an opportunity for growth in meeting intellectual and spiritual problems and by provid- ing an opportunity for an expres- sion of the spiritual life in pur- poseful action.

And nothing is more agonizing than the head- lines for next weelcs paper- that's an old Vanguard motto. Anyone who has ever par- ticipated in the weel4ly tortuous procedure that develops into Eriday's paper is apt to lool4 on the calm, daily appearance ol a limes or a lribune with an awe approaching reverence, Each Vanguard begins as an idea in the minds ol the many people who do the job. The assignments that go out to the reporters are one part ol the idea. The malce-up ol the paper, what goes where, is another. And the thought oi last minute blanlc spots when everyone was sure that there was too much copy is always on unwelcome surprise. It is a menace, but it is part ol the idea, too. A newspaper is concerned with bringing the lacts to its readers. But it also maintains a closer contact with those who read it through the editorials and the letters to the editor. Editorials might be called letters to the readers from the editor and in them are expressed most directly the idea behind the paper. Letters to the editor cover as many subjects as editorials. lhey may be reactions to something published in the paper, or they may be the readers' editorials, bringing subjects to the attention ol both the editor and the other readers. Vanguard, therefore, is a co- operative atlair. It is both a voice to the students and a voice ol the students, expressing the activities and the thought oi the people involved.
