But for all of us, the light ahead is the brightest one. So look for the shine of our gay notorious, all-victorious class! 7 ..i.....w f, - Y Y Q 'm-ms - . ...vm-.-, .

One of the first things we did as a class was to dance through the Campus Carousel Parade as flappers from the roaring twenties. At Christmas was our annual Sophomore step sing in Middle Hall. On Sophomore Day everyone feared us. Merely for our own enjoyment we demanded that certain tasks be done and homage be paid us by the other students. The more serious arts of the day included the assembly, the banquet, anclJcourt sing. Now with only a few weeks left in our Sophomore year, we are already planning how we will wear our ivy when we are Juniors. ln the spring was Sophomore Slave Day, when we were auctioned off to the highest bidder. As we washed cars, cleaned rooms, and typed papers, we remembered that the profits were for Campus Chest. 9 Ac ROW ONE: P. Bagdan, C. Renouf, N. McElroy. ROW TWO: S. Kullberg D. Baldwin, B. Ewing.

In September as Freshmen we were a little anxious as to how we would like Rockford and college life, but we began to feel a real class spirit with our very first ro- iects. ln the Campus Carousel Parade we rode on the float bearing the words, We Study Constantly, and some of us actually did study! Then at Christmas time we were in charge of the hang ing of the greens. Also during the Christmas holiday sea- son we went caroling for the faculty members living near the campus. On Freshman Day we had our own special breakfast and luncheon, an assembly at noon, a court sing, and the picnic at the farm in the evening. Now as we come to the end of our Freshman year , we are looking forward to our second year at Rockford when we can sing, Sophomore Spirit Never Dies. 13 fu Y fx X ff'4 J ROW ONE: S. Perrigo, E.

The sound of this lO0 year old bell rung in the courtyard by Hank announces October Day each fall. This is a surprise holiday, wel- comed by students and faculty alike, that is now a tradition at Rockford College. Before the Senior Day luncheon, the underclassmen went to the chapel, where the seniors entered in caps and gowns singing their class song and thus announced that they are now in full possess- ion of their dignities. Mr. Dedrick delivered the address . ln the evening the seniors had a formal banquet, and day closed with a step-sing in the court. At formal chapel exercise after this day, the seniors appeared in their caps and gowns. LEFT TO RIGHT: E. Anderson N. French, J. Jacobson.

Her record of fift years as a teacher and administrator will stand as a unique contribution to our work. She loved Rockford College and served its cause for almost one half of its entire history. She eagerly welcomed Rockford Men's College and gave eve encouragement to its establishment. Mature in years and experience, young in outrfook and spirit, she looked forward to new changes with anticipation and zest. We rejoice in her legacy of goo? will, kindly deeds and sincere friendship.
