In the now r1ch, now rocky so11 of college hte we've not only stretched stralght down but we've begun to reach 1n all d1rect1ons, for our roots are beglnmng to touch on the dehghtfully new areas that seemed so far awav only a short t1me ago. We are d1scover1ng that the farther we reach, the farther we are able to stretch our worlds But a carefully planted 1vy can be transplanted and stvll thuve and even grow more and stronger roots So tt must be Wllh us The real test of our growth wxll be that these roots can be transplanted mtact mto a new and probably harder envuonment Thus, as Iunlors we look bneflv back and survey the d1vers1tv and the strength of our roots. But most of all as Iumors we look ahead to the t1me when we w1l1 be completely transplanted and we look ahead w1th the hope that we've grow enough roots to be a healthy, mature part of a larger world.

We chuckle as we look back upon our one green year of college. In September we got our first look at Rockford's Hall of Ivy. Here we all were to make our home for the next few years. We were introduced to Rockford's family little bv little and by October Dav we joined them in a relaxing day of singing, sports and fun. We then presented ourselves to R, C, through the production, New Faces . Christmas soon followed with the coming of the first snow. We carried out the Christmas spirit with the Hanging of the Greens and Christmas carols. The Spicy Wassail made us all warm and cheery as we left for Christmas vacation. We anxiously returned only to start a period of studying and more studying. We were to encoun- ter our first big exams. From Moratorium's milk and graham crackers we changed to coffee and cookies during exams. The mid-semester vacation came as a relief and we started the new semester energetically, fearfully awaiting the arrival of Sopho- more Day. From the second semester until Spring Vacation we attempted to concentrate on our courses. Only with the coming of March lst did we get our second wind. We prepared ourselves for the second and last exam and best of all, we began planning Fresh- man Day. This day gave us the chance to really appreci- ate Rockford College. We had made many friends over coffee at Maddox, 10:00 basketball call-outs. dissecting frogs, drum sessions, and all night smoker con-fabs. The first year has ended - and we toss off our greenness and look anxiously forward to donning that Sophomore Spirit.
