...Class of '96... BRYANT MANARD, Pres. CHAS. SCOVILLE, V.-Pres. FLORENCE FOSTER, Sec'y X Treas COLORS: Pink and Gray. J N A BRIGHT September morning in the year ISQ2, there could be descried in the horizon many pairs wending their way toward Rockford's Temple of Learning, and strange to say, but nevertheless true, not agreen pair among them, Intellectuality shown from the windows of their souls, expectancy and innocence ran riot over 0 their countenancesg and if disparaging remarks have ever issued from envious lips, rely upon the ancient adage seeing is believing, subscribe for an Annual and gaze yourself upon the artistic cut therein of the class of g6 and you will come quickly to the conclusion that the author of those insolent remarks had no eye for the beautiful. As we entered chapel that memorable morning, teachers and scholars alike sat spellbound as the cream of Rockford's youth poured in and with sinking hearts realized that it was of a quality that could not be whipped, A natural affinity was early manifested between our affectionate hearts and that UN I q of our soft-footed professor and this attachment has grown at a rapid pace akin to that of iii-1-1 his whiskers, a strong proof of this is shown by the presence of many of our number in his oiiice at the close of school, as to the remaining half of the faculty the feeling was mutual. The teachers have ever worried over our studious habits for fear we would become pollymaniacsf' and thus drive them to their wits ends. But, though to all outward appearance our High School Life has been sunny and serene, still there- has hung a cloud which has shadowed our morality. It has been scandalously rumored that a member of the faculty is accustomed to having her petite Q?j waist measured by a coat sleeve, and thus, with this immoral example ever before us, great credit should be given our class for its strength of character. VVe are jolly juniors gay, And it we our importance show, And soon will Seniors be Pray remember 'tis the age, XVe care not what the people say, In which, but surely all must know, To none we bend a knee, The swelled heads are the rage J.
