S. is not proud that he is or has been a member of that school P Indeed, has he not a right to be proud of it, for it would beihard to find a high school that has enjoyed a better reputation. Ever since the new building has been occupied the standard of the school' has steadily risen until novv its graduates are admitted to such universities and colleges as Amherst, Cornell, Northwestern, Smith, Oberlin, Wellesley, Ann Arbor, Champaign, Lake Forest, Rose Polytechnic, Madison and VVheaton Without examina- tions, and to many other schools as, Renssalaer Poly- technic, Beloit, etc., by special arrangements. Butia good course of study With the excellent corps -of instructors which We have, can not alone 'make the kind of school which We boast of 3 although much is due 'to their influence, there must be a spirit of enterprise .among the pupils in order that the different societies' and associations may prosper and good feeling prevail. Too much stress' cannot be laid on the importance which the morning chapel exercises have in making the atmosphere of the school good, the gathering of, all the pupils in one room daily is an inspiration to a student. If no such morning gatherings were held the classes would lose' interest in each other and in the welfare of the school as a whole. ' ' The R. H. S. has made a good record.

But why should we speak in this way? Ninety- two is not dead. Ninety-two is proud of old Rockford and Rockford is proud of Ninety-two, and so long as such conditions exist Ninety-two will never die. But to my history :-Wie entered some sixty strong and it always seemed to me providential that we were no stronger, else that august tribunal and generous giver of Field Days, the school board, would have been com- pelled to build for us a Temple nobler than the last. Shutting' us from liffaven with a dome more vast in which our rapidly expanding brains might grow on unhampered. Most of our experiences as Freshmen were exceedingly pleasant, most of them I said, for sometimes in my dreams memories of a Fishy Zoological smell haunt me, and even now it urges me to pass on to our Sopho- more year. Here an incident, the forcible ejection of one of our band from the 'tgymw by a hated Senior caused a sudden is :the VVinnebagoes. n i 1 awakening of feeling among the Sophs. We organized and like many other classes just out of their short clothes, adopted for our motto Populi Sumus which is English for the Latin expression we are the people. From that time forth Ninety-two was an important factor in the school and lead in the gym meeting, on the play ground or wherever enthusiasm and numbers counted for anything. In the royal game of foot ball the Ninety- two men held the field time after time against' the com- bined assaults of' the other three classes and it was sel- dom indeed that a Sophomore did not succeed in getting behind the line with the ball, oftentimes bruised and torn in body and garment but triumphant nevertheless. It was clearly evident that we were favored by the gods for Botany day came.and went and no rain came with it, a circumstance which has not happened before within the memory of recent man, nay not within the mem- ory of Jan Keeler who has ruled long in the land of VVhen another- September came 'round we were 'juniors-I pause that the casual reader, who perhaps has never been a junior may realize the magnitude of our situation 3-we were on equal footing with the Seniors and could iight them Qif Prof. wasn't lookingj in their own halls. How far ourreign of triumph would have extended if Field Day had not occurred no one dares to predict. But Field Day did come and with it defeat and humiliation for Ninety-two. Although nobly cheered on by the girls, Senior beef and muscle prevailed over Junior skill. Not long, however, for the next night two venturesome Barbarians scaled the classic walls of 'the Senior room and taking down the emblems of Senior -is victory, planted in every nook and cranny the glowing colors of the XYorld's Fair class. The Juniors were ahead now and remained so, for despite the frantic efforts of the Seniors the Crimson and Creamll floated peacefully over their heads till the last. Autumn and winter sped swiftly by, and with winter went Pete Rundquist and Elmer Hollem, he of many neckties and much patienceg also many of the girls. The year was ended quietly and in earnest preparation for the work to come in the fall. XVhen Ninety-two stepped into the Senior shoes she at once set about to put in practice the principles she had advocated during the three years previous-the abolishment of class feeling and the union of every per- son, regardless of class or clique for the general good of the school. She threw aside the customary Senior egotism and went to work with a will, and for the re- sult Ninety-two points with a proud heart to a record in every department, Literary and Athletic, which has not been excelled in the R. H. S. lfVhile naturally enough she takes a kind of maternal pride in the record, she claims it not for herselfg it belongs to the school and to the school let all honor be given. And now I come to the closing chapter of a book which has been all too short. The time is not far distant when we as Seniors, shall pass for the last time up the Chapel stairs. There is atouch of pathos in doing even the simplest thing for the last time. The actor who steps before the footlights for the last timeg the singer who, making way for fresher voices receives for the last time the plaudits of the multitudeg the minister who stands for the last time before a people whom he has guided long and faithfullyg they all know the hidden ' 11' l bitterness of these two words, but to no one do they come home more forcibly than to the Senior who treads for the last time the familiar halls 'of his beloved Alma Maier. . Swiftly and pleasantly the four-years have passed away and none can recall them nowg like 'a dream of our childhood--they are gone. 1 a M. ST.

It is not often that a class has the chance to cele- brate the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America, but that chance falls to the graduating class this year, and by them it will be iittingly celebrated. just how it will be We are not at liberty to divulge, but it will be something new and novel. The committee appointed to arrange the program was, Miss Randall, Miss Vanhorne, Miss Gray and Mr. St. john. They have done well in selecting the program they did, and also in the ntness of the distribution ofthe parts. From Bebbis classic brain will spring the history of this famous class 3 Miss Vanhorne will tell of still greater achievements yet to come. To Miss Gorham has been given the part of rousing the obstinate Muse of Poetry. The play is bright and interesting. Candor com- pels the confession that it did not ernanate from the brain of a Senior. VVe can promise a treat, however. It must be seen to be appreciated. 19 Junior Qlass. . 1.-ll , oFFlcEns. - MABEL DAVIS, - X President., SIDNEY W. SMITH, e o Vice President E. B.

Notwithstanding this quotation, we are jolly juniors and are happy in another way, 'for it is seldom that such a class of intelligent, brainy pupils comes together as is now assembled in the present Junior class. When before were such percents seen as are accredited to our class ? As for Greek and Cicero, no one can stick them on any declension or construction. , The German class has proved very interesting, and many are the pupils who are moved by the haunting spirit of Reinhardt Many pupils are doing extra work in order to graduate with us. Some knowledge of our popularity may be found by reading the many items about the class that are published in the Owl. If you see any High School boys or girls along the streets eating peanuts, you may may make up your mind that they are Juniors. The girls in the class have a base ball club, it makes great sport for them, but the boys swear that they can beat them. Although the boys are in the minority, yet these same boys, when they come together for base ball or foot ball, allow noth- ing to stand in their way. They lead the school in all sorts of athletic sports g they arc invinciblefx' fl' The authors must. have had temporary aberration of tho brain, prolvllllb' Vwsod by writing such a voluminous account of their achievements. 00 .s s Our class organipfed this year, the nrst important event after the adoption of a constitution was to select class colors, and we tlatter ourselves that a more har- monious effect could not have been produced than that of white, gold and brown. The school reception being held soon after, the class appeared in full force wearing their colors, which was a feature of the evening. The winter coming on sleigh rides were in order, and Miss Frisbie invited the class and some ofthe teach- ers to her home, a short way out of the city. Bobs were obtained and the meeting was one of the pleasantest of the class history. The loads were mistaken for boxes of sardines, the boys like sardines. A short time later, Dickerman invited the class to meet at his home, near New Milford. Sad to relate, that night the repu- tation of the class for gallantry met a fall, the boys piled into the bob, and let the girls shift for themselves. Wfe would suppress these harrowing details but every one knows them, so it would be useless. The future beams out brightly for '93, with the prospect of the laborious part ofiour work being finished this year. S, S, I. P. 23 Soplyomorq Qlass. OFFICERS. W. B.

Rockford High School I Ninety-four! ! 24 Do I hear somebody say, XVho are you 9 Can you not tell us as distinguished from the rest of the world? Behold! our attempted dignihed bearing, our curious eyes prying into the mysteries of the various de- partments of this beloved institution, and our logical proofs for everything that we find in our path. But as you evidently know little about us, we will tell you from whence we came and whither we go. Last year a hundred and forty strong we were rooted and grounded down in the vale of Freshman bashfulness 5 but in a uyearis time our roots partly over- spread the vale 5 and have commenced to climb the foot hills of Mt. VVisdom. - Once, while exploring the storehouse of knowledge, quaking in every limb, we opened a door and peered into the darkness beyond, only to behold a most hideous grinning Visage. This is but one of our thrilling ex- periences, but by the time we have leaved out as juniors and blossomed out as Daisy Seniors, we expect to crown the summit and explore the Universe beyond. As was stated before, our original number was one hundred forty-three, the largest class that has ever en- tered this school 3 but some found it stony ground and failed to thrive and only sixty-six were hardy enough to withstand the frosts. Our boys are mighty beings: for their Freshman base ball nine put the Seniors oft their trolley, and -. V since the Seniors had visited a like fate on the juniors: and Sophomores, we then started our record of cham- pionship. In base ball this year we refer you to our star' team. VVe are well represented' inthe football team. But our girls are rising in athletic sports 5 they have procured the sphere and -are now laboring for the cylinder' to keep the sphere in motion 3 and will soon quite sur- pass the boys. p ' In-January, a committee was appointed to draw up- a constitution. The result of their labor was accepted' with a few changes. The constitution is, in one or two- respects, much different from that of any other class. We wished to preserve class unity 3 so that there might be no quarreling between the divisions over oflicers, we- decided that they should be equally divided between the English and Latin sections. A One morning we were surprised to see the juniors pass' into chapel, decorated with funny little knots off ribbon. They dazzledQ?j our eyes and aroused our class: spirit. A meeting was called at once, and after much tumult among the boys, a committee of girls was ap- pointed to select a combination of colors. Our foolish wisdom was shown by selecting girls not in favor of class: colors in the Sophomore year. In .time the colors were chosen 5 green, yellow and white, to be in the form of a daisy. Another committee- of girls was appointed Qfor girls are artistic beingsjg and after laboring with unruly ribbons completed their' work. We first arrayed ourselves, with those gentle daisies, at one of our sociables. To touch the tender spots of our hearts the Seniors and Juniors most absurdly' interpreted the stems of our daisies as the symbol of -fu hd Qreenness, the snowy petals of coxvartlice and the golden heart. jealousy. lint traced npon our hearts is a marble palace whose white walls are purity, whose pillars of emeralcl nll all the palace with joy, and whose golden center, the greatest of all these, is love.

Rockford High School, Ninety-Eve ! 28 It was the festive month of September in the year ISQI, that we the most illustrious, most ingenious and intellectual of Freshmen, that the Rockford High School has ever seen, made our appearance in the Chapel, be- fore the faculty raised upon their uplifted thrones. This ordeal of marching to our seats before all of' the Seniors, juniors and Sophomores was truly embarrass- ing. The doorway is entered, YVe glance here and there, And look like a boy who Has just seen a bear. To the right to the left, On all sides we behold, Wise looks which bewilder These stray lambs of the fold. Although the other classes may make fun of the Freshies, they are really proud of the great addition we make to the R. H. S. As regards marks, students, pretty girls and handsome boys, the Freshman class of ,QS is farther advanced than any previous entering class. Thus far we have been able to cope with every- thing, including our state examination in Algebra. 'XVe have finished our course in English History and Physical Geography, and judging from the marks in other studies ive bid fair to complete our course with honors which belong to us, having been earned by hard mental labor. :een l Although we are young in the history of the High School, yet we have several different clubs and societies. Perhaps one of the best known to the school is the T. R. S. It was formed by a number of our young ladies, and holds its meetings semi-annually, having at such 'times a royal banquet, to which the young gentlemen .are invited. Their motto is-If we didn't expect an .invitation we would give it away. - i A We also have a base ball nine which is a credit to the school 5 we have played the Seniors three different games, losing only three, beside this we have Won all -other games that we have played with clubs outside the school. U i , Among the scholars of our class are several quite -poetical people, also some very fined story writers., tak- ing both together we have had plenty of reading matter to occupy our spare moments in school hours. lt is apparent to all that We have made great pro- gress in the way of Delsarte, this may be noticed by the way in which we ascend and descend the stairs efz rome to our recitations, also the ease and grace with which we make all of our movements and gestures in our read- ingQ?D. This is all due to the judicious training of our reading teacher, Miss Randall. Whereas We were very awkward and green in our movements when We first -entered, we now are quite graceful and easy in our bear- ing UD. As we approach the close of .our Freshman year we -realize more than ever how much we have learned and 'how much there is yet for us to gather. May we so cover ourselves with glory and honor in 'the remaining three years, glgat when we turn aside from our duties l1ere,we may be able to join the great Caravan that goes out to meet the world, fully prepared for its innumerable trials, temptations and tribulations. Our past lies like a golden sunset behind us, the future shines Qbriglitly before us. H. C. L. O. F. F. 'X i Q xx is 2 TT 9 ' N ' A X.

One feature of our school, in which the pupils take a very commendable pride, is the R, H. S. Literary Society. It made its advent at the Xmas season. On December 23, 1887, its first programme gave afore- taste of the good things to come. From the start it has been a society of the students, for the students, and by the students. There has been always a distinct recognition of the inalienable right of each member to contribute to the happiness of all. Neither race, sex, nor Hprevious condition has debarred a member from casting his or her vote. The Society has enjoyed the hearty co-operation of all the teachers. It has furnished many a pleasant and profitable hour, and thereby fully demonstrated its right to be. 32 The llzgh Suliool Owlfiiiaiy his irihe iucreaise E .Xwolw one xiifhi from ilreziuis lhiil would hot!

A Exceeding wisdom much this Owl did dread, And to the Senior tremblingly he said, lVhat writest thou ? The Senior raised his head, And with a look made of sweetest charity, O Answered, The names of greatest rarity, Of those who'Ve done most for the 'Literary' Is our name there ? said th' Owl. Ah, why so? Replied the Senior. Th' Owl spoke more low, ' Resolved that circumstances make great.men,' 9 Impromptu speaking '-and ' music ' then,- 'Essay, recitation, declamation, , Mock trial, class yell, city council,' I These have we done and a far greater score.

Have they not reason to be proud P School Athletics and the Literary are well provided for, but the strong point of the Owl has always been its Local Column. Hits, roasts and grinds in abundance, but all meant in good feeling, are enjoyed by all and no less by the one aimed at. The managers have two very efficient editors, Miss VVinifred Gray and Carl Kennedy, who assist them in different departments. Crisp, brig-ht locals, 'short- stories, poems Qspring poems prohibitedj and other en- tertaining matter Fill the paper to overliowing. i If anyone doubts that the Owl is very well appre- ciated they should see the knots of scholars that swarm around the halls after Owl delivery, to see if there is anything about them in the paper, for who does not like to see his named in print occasionally? l The pupils are kept well informed about school and college news by the many exchanges they have the privilege of seeing, and St. John's face bears a big, broad grin as he reads the favorable comments on the Owl in nearly every exchange hefpicks up. T The proprietors have quite a little pride in their new, fashionably dressed Owl, but the Editors of the ANNUAL are diseased in about the same spot, and what pleases them most is that they can square off ia number of those hits and grinds that have appeared in the Owl ' about them, We hope the Owl will continue to grow and be as well appreciated by the pupils as now.

Przfiffsfx s'5.s'zm! sizm' ilfmfclz I, 1891, Zo: R. Peyton Manard, for his Anti-Tardy Machine. He owes his idea to the wonderful amount of knowledge concerning Electricity which he has absorbed in Physics class. , Said invention consists of an immense electro-V magnet to be placed near the foot of the bed. On the head board is a large iron disk. By means of clock work machine the current is turned on at the hour desir- ed, the magnet attracts the disk, raises the' bed up on its hind legs and ye sleeper is unceremoniously dumped into a tank of ice water, which is cold enough tovvarrant that even Manard would not go to sleep in it. For fur-- ther particulars call on the patentee when you can test it. E. M. St. John for an improved Hy catcher, the kind of flies that trouble him most who stands in the right garden of the R. H.

Design as follows :- Two large Wicker baskets, two feet in diameter, Well lined so as not to hurt the hands and arranged so as to prevent the ball slipping through the hands and damag- ing the face, ,by a stout piece of street-car-horse-hide leather connecting them., Seeing- the advantages of such a glove, Messrs.

The present Athletic Association was an outgrowth of the High School Gymnasium, which was organized March isse, -with Win Helm as President. So little interest of late was taken in the indoor work, that the gymnasium Was dissolved. The Rockford High School Athletic Association was then organized on Feb. 4, 1892. . ' A . ' Under the new arrangement the school is assured of a foot ball and a base ball team each year, and good games are to be expected. Never sincethe old Central High School team was in existence has there been so much interest in 'Base Ball as this year, and the school's first Foot Ball team wasthe team of ,Q2, which gained such a reputation. The newfAssociation does things up ina business- like style,charging admission to foot-ball games and thus being able to getyoutside teams to come to Rockford, but John' Buker gets a good share of it 'for the apparatus pur- chased of him. VVe are in this way able to share their expenses without draining the already leaking treasury and calling for one of those familiar ten cent assessments. H One of the best ways to get the attention and in- terest of people to the High School, is through Athletics. 4-S . Selyool Team. . .T. HARRY F. DICKINSON, Capz. . . . fe N. E. C.-XTLIN, R. End.

I ' It is more difficult in a public High School like this to awaken interest enough in Athletics to make it a school enterprise, than it is in an Academy or a College, and so we think it is doing Well to keep foot ball and base ball teams always in readiness to play. Pupils ofthe R. H. S. have no sympathy for persons who say that running base ball nines, getting out annuals, etc., is making a High School too much of a College, for the spirit is just as beneficial to a High School as a College and spirit is what We Want.
