I4 THE ROCKFORD HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL n Mrs. Thomas-History is her scripture and daily confession. Very mindful of the little ones. Be- hind her apparently stern countenance is al- ways to be found a lovely nature. Miss Duffy-She is quick to detect the literary dc- fects of people, and correct them with precision and skill of a wise judge. She is reported to speak seldom, but then very judiciously. Mrs. Stevens-Has abiding faith in the English lan- guage. Many youthful minds have received abiding inspiration from her helpful suggestions and instruction. Miss Foster-Known to all, admired by all, helpful to all. Almost the sumtotal of her daily work. The worth of her every act is in being, not seeming. Mr. Haight-This man's name is allowed to slip in here because he is married. This name refers to the senior member of the family. A very genial gentleman. stern in his ways, yet is classed among the latter day humorists. High School band and this gentleman are one and inseparable. Has recently taken to baseball. Miss Vincent-This is diminutive Ethel. VVhat the senior sister lacks in the freedom and pitch of speech is amply accounted for in this member. She finds mathematics a diversion. Miss Brown-junior member of the firm of Browns. An enthusiastic athlete. At Lake Geneva she is noted as a daring navigator. Sunny tempera- ment: gracefully designed by nature. Miss Pierpont-If one were to mention all her good qualities, it would require a volume. She helps maintain the excellence of the scientific depart- ment. With her, silence is golden. Mr. Norris-This gentleman is always dignified in his ways and habits. He looks very carefully and scrutinizingly before he leaps. W. T. is his long suite. One of the baseball fans. Mr. Hamilton-One who looks after the commercial side of law. His oft-quoted phrase is: Go it, Tiger! Greatly devoted to his work. Habits normal. Seldom seen out after dark. Umpiring is becoming his specialty. Miss Brantingham-Prcsides over the destinies of room 60. The commendable efforts of many of the local artists are due to her training. Her vocabulary is profuse in tints, angles, shapes, proportions, spacing, and landscapes. Mr. Haupt-This name is quite Germany. He comes from Missouri. It is necessary to show him. Of the newcomers among the men on the faculty he is the most normal in his habits. He is married. His field maneuvres add greatly to baseball games. Mr. Ludens-Generally sober. Habits are suitable either for night or day. Feels that brevity is the better part of discretion in suggesting his own obituary.
