Lfnder this head- ing are included Uratory, Argmnentation, Pedagogy, and Teacher's English, ln the first year the lfreshmeu are taught the proper con- struction of sentences. They are required by most of the teachers to write weekly themes in order that they may learn to state their thoughts clearly and concisely. Con- siderable reading is crowded in. as, Stevenson's Treasure Island , ln the XYilderness , The Ancient Mariner , and others. The second year's work is along the same line, with, of course, slightly advanced standards- Julius Caesaru is the main reading, while Ivanhoe , Mannion , and The Three Narrative Poems keep the poor Sophomores busy. American Literature is taken up in the third year. lt is the endeavor of the teacher, generally well accomplished, to bring an example of every prominent American author into class. The year is devoted almost entirely to read- ing, with the regular weekly themes and the monthly tests to vary the monotony. During the fourth year the Seniors are required to malce an outline of the development of the English Dramas, as Z1 good beginning for the study of English Literature. As in the preceding year, examples from the best authors are read. The work is finished with llurke's Speech O11 Con- ciliation with the American Colonies . ln connection with this, debating and briefmaking is taken up quite extensively. There is ,one class of Teachers English, in which Mrs. Stevens teaches the pupils how to teach English, grammar reading, and so forth. The class in Pedagogy is along the same lines, only that it is more inclusive. Reading, writing, geography, all tl1e things taught in the grade school, are studied in this class.

The only re- quired subjects for graduation are algebra and geometry. Freshman algebra is the stumbling block of many a poor beginner, to whom x is still an unknown and unknowable quantity at the end of the year. Plane geometry for both plain and frivolous people is altogether too ancient to be comprehended by us modern folks . The slave who spent his time in drawing diagrams in the sands of the desert, has made us all both slaves and diggers, but not in sand. Solid geometry is Plane geometry. hardened to suit the taste of the seeker after work. Solid is a very appropriate term, for it takes solid hours, solid brains, and solid people to understand solid geometry. Review Algebra is Freshman Algebra in the Junior year. lt is a case of review if you have a good memory, but oftener it is a six months' siege of hard study. Advanced algebra is an older offspring of the same root, but it is too tough to be easily digested by its many lovers. V Triangles and trigonometry go hand in hand. Do you want to work? Then just enter this study. lt is exceeding- ly easy, if you are willing to dig morning, night and noon. -lust ask Miss Morse. lf the inventor of trionometry were alive today, it might go rather hard with.him to hear all the uncomplimentary things which are said about him. ltis easy enough to be a shark in some things, but in mathematics it is no dream. Sponging works sometimes. but in the end one has to know a little about the subject or he will find that he knew just enough to get left behind. -::' 'W' r---'-:esusc:g:. -rs:---'rw-:um A '- SEVBIHGBTI A-iz' .

Latin is perhaps the most commonly chosen study. A large majority of the Freshmen select the Latin course, but by the time they are Seniors, they are wise and a small minority takes Virgil. The translation itself is quite amus- ing when compared with the prose work, the bug bear of the week, the despair of the verdant Freshman and the stum- bling block of all Latin students. ln the second year the Sophomore travels with Caesar into Gaul and fights all his battles again. From Cicero our Juniors learn to deliver ora- tion in a manner that would move a post and also to rail against their numerous enemies. Then comes Virgil, to lull the Seniors to sleep, as they dream over the days of yore. The German course is completed in three years. Trans- lation, grammar, declension and memorizing occupy the time. All German students look forward to the time when they can see the land of the Rhine. ln ,addition to the regular course, a mnnber of German songs are introduced, and often the adjoining classes are startled from their dreams by a burst of: 'lLieb Vaterland! magst ruhig sein Lieb Vaterland! magst ruhig sein , coming from the vicinity of Room 15. Greek has not been taught this year, as there was not sufficient interest shown to warrant the forming of a class. Nineteen Science 1-X MISS .TENNTE FI. YVALDO Physirznl Geography, Zuulngy 6 ,, MR.

Now the question is, do we realize what a wel!- equipped science department we have? Suppose we take an imaginary trip to a small High School and enter their lab- oratory. Here we find only a few different varieties of ap- paratus, and there is only one of each kind, as: one com- pound microscope, one electric battery, and one bottle of sulphuric acid. Now, let us return to our home school and investigate her laboratories and equipments. What a difference! you say. Yes, a great difference. NVe will start with beginning science, and visit the phys- iography and physiology classes. Here, although done on .1 small scale,'the laboratory work is very thorough. The classes in Physiography are not going to forget im- mediately the path of a storm center across the United States when they had to trace it with much pains. Neither will they be likely to let the wind zones slip their minds after drawing them time after time. Now, suppose we take a look at the naturalists, the zoologists and botanists. Their work is largely in the lab- oratory, where, with eflicient instructors and good reference books, the pupils have learned many things this year, which will enable them to better understand, love and appreciate nature. Of course, Physics and Chemistry must not be omitted since here our pupils gain a greater knowledge of science. How many Edisons are to come from the first department, Physics, is unknown, but we do know that many will here receive inspirations to become electricians and mechanics. The same is true of our excellent chemistry course where young men and women are being better equipped to cope with chemical difficulties in the home and elsewhere, FI. J., 'll.

The ancient history deals with the rise and fall of the Greeks and Romans. Considerable attention is given to the 2 art and culture of these people and its effect on modern , civilization. Ei it After the fall of Rome, the European nations gradually ' lf T developed and their progress from that period until the 2 present time is studied in modern history. A 'S The growth of the American nation since the very f YQ fi Qi: earliest visits of the Norsemen is covered by the year of ig i United States history. Source reading and reference work 1 are required in this study as Well as in modern history, This 1 method of teaching broadens the student's view of historical events and at the same time prepares him for college re- ference work. The study of Civil Government includes a thorough re- l view of the details of our national, state, county and city government, drill in parliamentary rule and also the re- quirements of a good citizen. The study of the constitu- tt tion, with the interpretation of its various clauses, and workings of the government under each department, oce- E cupies an important place in the course. In order to illust- rate the proceedings of the different governing bodies, such 3 as the Senate or City Council, the class resolves itself for a time into one of these and goes through the methods of con- , j ducting its work. Such variations make the work interest- ing and at the same time are instructive. 1 Twenty-three Commercial Department 'Z MII. ROBIN L. HAMILTON Il4mkkm-Ppin:':. Comme-ra-ial Law MII. JOHN T.

'I'w1-nty-four .,.-mn HIE Commercial course, which is offered by the Rock-- ford High School is one of the most complete and practical to be found in the high schools of the state. The embryo of the Commercial department was in pen- manship and commercial arithmetic. The four years of the high school course are devoted to the teaching of modern business essentials. The aim of the department is to pre- pare its students in such a thorough and efiicient manner. that they will be able to enter upon all active business career immediately after graduating from high school. Accuracy, neatness and speed is the motto of every commercial stu- flentg accuracy is the first requisite of a successful business man and with this qualification neatness is closely allied, and lastly speed is encouraged. Arithmetic, spelling, penmanship and business corre- spondence are the foundation upon which the work ill ac- counting and advanced book-keeping is based. This divi-- sion of the commercial course is covered in the first two years of high school. The work covers the fundamental principles of accounting in private and partnership concerns and in the advanced course deals with corporations. ln close connection with this is the study of banking. The last two years are devoted to stenography. The Gregg system of shorthand is taught, and in typewriting the student may choose between the Underwood, Reming- ton and Oliver machines. The first year in shorthand and typewriting is spent in manual work, in order that the student may become familiar with the principles of each. Speed is the object of the second year of study, and for graduation the student must be able to write at least forty words a minute on the typewriter and take the dictation of new matter at one hundred words per minute and make a perfect transcription of those notes.

This course comprises Home Economics, Cooking and Sewing. Cooking is probably the most important partnof this de- partment. As foundation for this, Home Economics must be taken. In this study, the basis for the whole course is laid. The testing of materials for their heating. nutritive and tissue building properties and experiments with com- binations and mixtures form an important part of the work. The concoction of varied and delicious dishes is the most interesting part of cooking, and also the most advanced for the plainer food must be made first. This year the furnishing and serving at the Gym. dances has made the work unusually interesting. The breakfasts, luncheons and dinners served by the classes to each other and to the faculty have given the girls a useful knowledge of setting the table for the various meals and serving as well as cooking them. The sewing classes are a very beneficial part of the Do- mestic Arts department. Here the girls are taught to draft their own patterns, which insures originality in dress. Each girl makes an entire outfit for herself during the year. The teachers of this department are very competent. Miss Janet Cation is the head, with the Misses lflelah John- son and Helen Reber as her assistants. Miss Cation is a graduate of Bradley Institute and has taught in the Chicago schools. Miss Johnson graduated from the D. S. depart- ment of Rockford College. Miss Reber is receiving her training under Miss Cation. Twenty-seven 0 Y' N .C2llFtZ6lF. DEL? MISS GRACE BRANTINGHAM HHN you visit the High School do not fail to go to the art studio on the third Hoor of the new building. The stairs leading up to the rooms are hung on either side with charcoal drawings and upon entering the room one is attracted by its artistic appearance. The main studio is quite large, and is provided with tables and chairs used in the drawing work. The walls of the studio are covered with drawings of many kinds, charcoal, water color, pencil and ink. Adjoining the main studio on the east is another smaller room, which contains the various models and objects used in the art work. The cases in this room are lilled with books, tracings, designs and drawings. Drawing is taught for two reasons, first to enable one to obtain the fundamental principles of drawing, and thus be- come more efficientg second, to increase a person's power of observation, During the first semester of the First year. pe11ciI work is taken up, and the second semester is given over to charcoal work. The second year is devoted chietly to charcoal, col- ored chalks and designs. The second year is possibly more interesting than the first. ln the Spring and Autumn, a great deal of time is given to nature work, such as drawing of leaves, and flowers of various kinds. Friday of each week is given over to life sketches, an interesting as well as helpful feature of drawing. Art work is one of the most interesting as well as rehning studies in the High School, and it is hoped many more students will avail themselves of the opportunity placed before them in the line of art work in Rockford High School. li. C., '11, Twenty-eight E Miss GIJRTRUDE 1oNE HILL Physical Training HE Physical Training department of our school is a source of pride to every pupil. There all the wonders of strengthening and developing the muscles go on every hour of the day, for nearly four hundred of the high school girls take gym . It is the custom to give an exhibition every year, the proceeds of which go toward equipping the gymnasium with all the necessary apparatus. When Miss Hill began her work, she was handicapped by lack of equipment. Now there are many kinds of paraphernalia to work with, al- though more is still needed. The sum realized from the ex- hibition of December, 1910, was expended for the new Swedish ladder, barbells and balancing beams. Next year, the girls hope to add more to the equipment. A new feature has entered into the work in the Physical Culture department: the development of the social side of High School life. In order that the pupils may become bet- ter acquainted with each other and with the faculty, several enjoyable parties have been given in the gymnasium. The classes were separated into groups and each girl was privi- leged to invite a boy to her respective party. There was a mixed program of dancing, music and reading. Part of the music was supplied by the faculty orchestra, while the pupils themselves furnished the rest. The gymnasium was deco- rated with pennants and on Saint Patrick's day entirely in green. It is hoped that these parties will continue to be the source of pleasure in the future that they have been in the past. H. B. Twenty-nine UNJKUIUM. Q ,,.,....,...,f...-f-Q.,--.

HORACE A. TAVEIKA Wood Shop Mechanical Drawing MR. FRANK C. VINCENT Machine Shop HE Manual Training department constitutes an im- portant part of Rockford High School and is one of the best equipped in the school. The first year is devoted to wood work, and is taught by Mr. VVm H. Haupt, who uses the State Course of Study as a basis. It is hoped that this shop, which takes up bench work, turning and pattern-making, will soon be provided with some new machinery, although it now has five lathes and ten more ordered. Mr. Vincent instructs the second year pupils in brass work, which is done by forge and foundry, and the third year pupils in practical blacksmith- ing. Mr. Smith is at the head of this department, both here and in the grade schools. Mr. Taveira has charge of the boys every other day in mechanical drawing. The plans made under his instruc- tions are carried out in the work shop. Every boy should take at least one year of manual train- ing, and the girls should also be allowed to take this benc- ficial study. F. P. . .

For four years they were loyal and true to every interest of the school, and though they are no longer active in promoting the school affairs, they may still re- main staunch supporters of the crimson and black.

Yet soon we found our way about, for we were smart indeed. In time our verdure it wore off-you'd think we'd been here a year Vilhen February came, and with it other Freshmen green. It was not longg from 12 to 10 we nearly all did pass, And then it was discovered: we were a wondrous class. VVe shone at the receptions, our reports were good to see, For many an A was given us, and scarcely ever a UD . The student lamp from eight P. M. until dawn was seen to glow. We knew it all. or thought we did: 'tis much the same you know. All too soon we were Juniors-a very jolly crowd- And one of which our class has had good reason to be proud. In Physics, Cicero and Deutsch , we many lessons learned Q We oft' recited perfectly, full many an A we earned. The last semester of that year we were a busy set, For many class meetings we held-our dues we're paying yet, - And when the year was almost o'er, we held a picnic grand, At which we had a splendid time--for things were all well CD planned, The tickets cost us Five and sixty centsg we were repaid By lunch f wienies and salad, no ice-cream or lemonadel. We danced and sang all the way home Ctwas on the Illi- noisjg In spite of all misfortunes, it was a clay of joy. Then came Commencement, and we found that sorrowful was our caseg The Senior class had disappeared, and we stood in their place. Our dignity was grand to see, we bore the honor well, fOr tried tojg in athletic games we learned how to excel. In foot-ball and basket-ball the championship we've won, In Oratory not so well, by Freeport we're outdone. But when it came to basket-ball, they could not beat us there: As Illinois State Champions we think we've done our share. As to our other virtues, we'll leave them to the rest: We may not be the largest class, but surely we're the best. ' D. W.

E begins Ericson, of foot-ball fame, And also Jane Everett, as cute as her name. Fame, fortune, fun. faithful, around F we see, For there's Fitzpatrick, Floberg, Fraser, Floden, just four. G is a letter, which scarcely we see, But the possessor makes us proud as can be, For G stands for Garrett and also for Grace, And Garst, he's a dandy, and right in his place.

In the old Freshman hall, in the High School in seven, ln a way that was timid and shy We became well acquainted with all Rockford High ways And now we are just bidding good-by. Don't you remember the Spring of '11, That balmy, hot, sunshiny day When we bade our farewell to the old Rockford High, And departed our various ways? But in memory we'll turn to the High School again, And with many a laugh and a sigh We will think of the four years at Rockford so fine, And then turn to our tasks, which are nigh.

And every present indica- tion is in our favor. ln a September just like all other months of this name, we entered this massive pile of bricks, and were the only truly green objects growing within, for the three other species of vegetation was near unto the ripeu stage. - We were often frightened by the sudden appearance of appalling apparitions, who were very efficient in the art of dealing out penny lectures on our tardiness and indolence. In just a little while our greenness began to depart, or perhaps was overshadowed, by the fresher articles on the early Spring markets. The second season we were again in full bloom, but our foliage was never injured by plueking, for the knowledge- seekers looked upon us with scorn and indifference. But we kept on growing and ripening and in many eases the Fifi y-elpfllt Fm 1 uppermost bump of our structure grew the fastest and be- came large in proportion to our natural sizeg thus giving us the appearance of having a swollen head. But that was a false idea. Again during a long, hot season we lay dormant, but all the time gathering strength to rush our produce to the high- est and choicest market. This year our growth was en- trusted to the care of an experienced gardener, who was critical and cross about: our many crooked branches, which were continually sprouting forth in a new place. Very carefully we were pruned and trimmed, in order to do credit to our nameg but in this we never failed, for our Kitty was the leader of the champion foot-ball team. ln spite of all this care, we became tough and lazy, swarms of l'J's and sharp, stinging air had no other effect than to make us more hardened and weathered. - Everyone was well satisfled with the result of this third year: but the next! lNho can truthfully prophecy the out- come of so noble a growth as ours? The standard we must uphold is lofty and grand, but for three years we have been prepared for the climax. A rough and blustering wind may destroy a few of our products, but still our choiccst fruit will - R.

HISTORY HOUGI-I we are now just half-way between the begin- ning and the end, and I should prefer to prophecy the future, I must indulge in ancient history, since that is the topic assigned to me. Upon the morning of September 7, 1900, we, the Sophomore class of the Rockford High School, feeling rather important, were ushered into a school-room, by a large reception committee, consisting of the janitors who were aided by a wise-looking young man, who greeted us very kindly. Since we could not be hazed, as Freshmen of former years had been, the upper classmen smiled very pleasantly at us through the windows in the doors, They could advance no further, for the doors were barred and guarded by large, athletic teachers. Though we entered the building in high glee Cas Freshmen usually doj, it was not long before we felt exceedingly insignificant among the Sixty-two wise upper classmen, and we often wished there weren't so many staircases to confuse us. But, as month after month went by, and our report cards showed more A's each sue- ceeding month, we found school life more enjoyable. At the end of the first year, we were, of course, wiser than ever be- fore. VVe were not the only ones who thought so, for we were great favorites with the teachers, and a brilliant future was prophecied for the class of il3. Upon beginning our second and more illustrious year, we could almost feel our heads swell with pride, when we remembered that we were no longer Ulfresliiesv, but that we could bestow that scornful name upon our under class- men. More interesting studies were put before us. The study of 'fCaesar , for instance, interested all of us, for, of course, we all sat up and took notice when someone translated XVhen Caesar was in hither Gaul , or All Gaul is divided into three partsfi Though all our studies in- terested ns, Caesar occupied most of our time. That we will prove to be the best class of old Rockford High School, can already be foretold, when one thinks of the many represent- atives we have in each of the various organizations of the school. Hut what else can be expected from a class, first ruled over by a Camtpbjell who is also a Tintsjinan, next by a Palmer fmore often called a Crumbj, then by our future foot-ball captain, 6'.lohnny , who is certainly a Skinner and last of all by CSt.j llernard or just plain VVhitney?

Hail! we are here, Clever are we, both lad and lass, For we are the Freshmen of '14 class! EALIZING that it is the aim of our Principal to place Rockford High School as the first in the state, we, the Freshmen that entered these Halls of Fame, one bright September morning, resolved to help Principal Briggs to the utmost of our ability. Even our demeanors were such, that it was difficult to distinguish us from the new faculty. Even the Athletic boys followed our example, and see thc results! See how they profit by it! When the upper class- men found out that we did not draw our sustenance from the fountain of nature, they wept copious tears of mortifica- tion over the lunch-room chairs. Sixty-nine The class work of the new Freshmen was on the aver- age so brilliant that we did not have to try to cheat our- selves by placing D s in certain postures to make them re- semble As. The institution thought upon our entrance that we were the semi-annual supply of donkeys but they soon found out to their surprise and dismay that our ears were clipped in model thoroughbred style I am sorry to tions but have allowed them to ascend in smoke.

Horace Academy M.. HWS' Mu 'A 3 . i'i7 7XK5 r Richard was gruff, he was sure Carl would get along nicely with him. A few minutes later Carl found himself at the door of Room 15, where he was .told Fowler lived, and, in answer to his knock, the door was jerked open and a young fellow about nineteen years old looked him over critically and said sharply: Well, what do you want PH Are you Richard Fowler? asked Carl. Thats what l was christened, but my front name is Dick. Are you the kid who's going to room with me P Carl answered in the affirmative, so Dick told him to come in and unpack his trunk in a hurry. It's been stand- ing here for half an hour and I've scraped my shins on it already. I hope you've got a bunch of pennantsg I'm sick of mine. The next half hour was occupied in straightening things around and learning from Dick which was his side of the bed, and which wall he could have for his pictures, and other particulars of their partnership. Before the day was over, Carl and Dick were good friends. The latter amused the Freshman with accounts of Mt. Horace, the faculty and student body, and other things of interest to school boys. lt was after supper that Dick imparted a bit of startling news to Carl. Some of the boys are likely to call on you tonight. I'd advise you not to make any fuss. Call P asked Carl, not grasping tl1e older boy's meaning. Hazing, grunted the other brielly. Why, Professor Cummings said they didn't haze here, Carl explained. You just take a little warning, youngster. Of all things, don't resist. I'll not be here, because I'm going to bunk in with the kid below here. There was nothing further said -on the subject that night. Carl spent a very pleasant evening, getting acquainted with the other fellows in the cottage, with most of whom Seventy-four h i Dick seemed to be on very good terms. They all treated him well, considering that he was a Freshman, and Carl took with good nature all the twits and slams the boys saw fit to give. Bricky, the red haired fellow whom Carl had seen in the morning, was present, and he alone made him- self very disagreeable to the newcomer. It was with dif- ficulty that Carl could keep from showing his resentment. At ten o'clock all the boys were in their own rooms, and the cottage was dark and quiet. Carl had fallen asleep in spite of Dick's warning. Suddenly he was awakened by a loud pounding on the door and some one calling Open! The moon was shining in the window and its beams fell across the clock on the mantle. It was just twelve. Carl did not heed the command to open the door. Wl1o's there? he demanded. - Open!'l came the command again. Wl1at do you want ? Open the door quick, and you will find out.', Stillness reigned. Hurry up, kid, or we will break the lock and you will be sorry! just then Dick appeared at the window. He had crawled up the fire escape from the room below. Open the door, you little fool, he whispered, and disappeared. Carl turned the key and half a dozen boys, clad in pajamas and bath robes, rushed in. Carl recognized Bricky, who seemed to be the ring leader. He held a towel in his hand and this he bound tightly around Carl's eyes, warning him meantime to keep his mouth shut. I Kneel!,' he commanded. Carl obeyed. A solemn voice spoke now: Do you under oath, prom- ise to keep in deep secret all things which you shall hear, see or say this night? And do you promise to cherish in your heart' forever the fellows here assembled? The Freshman hesitated, then answered, Yes.' Your full name, please? Bricky was speaking again. Carl Howard Jackson.

The side of the cliff 'was overgrown with brambles and shrubs. Now, when we unblindfold you, you must give an ora-- tion to your audience, someone announced. The boys chuckled. It would be a rich joke to see the astonished look on the boy's face when he should find himself in so danger-- ous a position. Bricky stepped up and quickly pulled the towel from Carl's face. The lad gave a frightened gasp, and the other fellows shouted, 'lSpeech, speech ! they cried, but even while they spoke, Carl swayed, and with a smothered cry pitched headlong over the cliff. The boys looked at each other, their faces white with fright. Merciful heavens, we have 'killed him! cried Bricky, and, at breakneck speed, he started down the path. The others followed-too frightened to speak. At the bots tom they found Carl, white and motionless. Is he dead P gasped one. Yes, I guess so, Bricky sobbed, make a stretcher with these two branches and your coats, fellows. WVe've got to take him to the professor. Oh, oh, why did we do it ? As, they lifted him into the boat, Carl groaned and mum- bled something. 4'T'hank heaven, he's alive! VVhat's he trying to say P One of the fellows leaned over him and listened. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me-, mut- tered the boy feebly. He's trying to orate, poor kid, said the boy who had listened. The boys rowed madly across the lake and hurried over the campus to Faculty Hall, where the professor was avvakened. He took in the situation at a glance. Take him to the infirmary at once, boys, and then go to my office, and wait for me there. It was dawn before the professor appeared. To the anxious inquiry of the boys, he answered: Yes, Dr. Wilkeiis says he will pull through all right. His fall was evidently Seventy-seven broken by one of the shrubs, and that Saved him, but he will fur 1n'1nv montlw be laicl up 1 . J ..

SCHOENWETTER ROY MesS'1ef'T'aCk Treasurer Nelson Reck, Baseball HE financial success of the year has made it possible to put aside nearly S5600 for the Athletic Field Fund, mak- ing the total now available between 35900.00 and 31,000.00 A well equipped athletic field is the thing most needed by our High School. A permanent field is the necessary ad- junct for the best physical training. Let us keep this goal constantly in mind. A significant change in attitude by the Athletic Associa- tion towards one of the four major sports, base-ball, should be noted at this time. For several years our Spring sports have been woefully lacking in interest and strength. To im- prove this condition the Association decided to do away with base-ball as an inter-school sport. The idea, of course, was that track, which lends itself better to high school con- tests, would be the gainer both in number of participants and in school support. However, it seemed wise not to lose altogether so splen- did a game as base-ball. lts sphere accordingly was broad- ened to take in a larger number of boys as series of games between classes was arranged. A permanent trophy was offered to the winning class. As Chairman of the Board of Athletic Control, it is but just that I call the attention of the Association and school to the unselfish work of its officers, of the team managers, and of Mr. Schoenwetter. Their spirit of cooperation, the school first idea has made this a notable year. R. L. H. xzumsm:m..n.:m:-.. .: .su -aw: .. '. 1 'rt : .una :.amsQ:r.:-alma: ra1swwfx.ww vzzrrzaazzx .

'1'2!Ul'X.'2.R1l'S..Rii!I Eigh ty- two . 1231 Football H12 season of 1910-ll has been the most successful in every line of athletics that the Rockford High School has ever experienced. The foot-ball team raised the standard set forth by the team of 1909, in that they won the State Championship with a clear record to their credit. Our team acquired the reputation of giving all opponents a square deal. They were never criticised as to dirty playing, unless that criticism was in the negative. Every team that went down in defeat to Rockford was satisfied that they were defeated by a better team. T ln our coaches we have had men who have thoroughly understood foot-ball and how to teach it. The fact that they turned out a team superior to any other in Illinois, is suf- ficient proof that they are the best high school coaches in the state. Captain Kitteringham, considered the best half-back in the state, leaves Rockford High School this year. 'tliittyu was the best captain the foot-ball team has ever had. lt will be a great loss to the team and we hope he will help our coaches in next year's work. Bealy Thomas was a great factor in winning the championship. This was his first year on a high school team and much to our regret, his last. He and Kitty made up a pair of back-line men that are as fast as any in the state. Edwin Grant, who played full-back, was the smallest member of the team. Although he did not carry the ball, much credit is due him for his 'work in interference. Howell Garver, because of some conditions, was not given the opportunity to play with the team of 1910. He is a good player, and we hope to hear from him this Fall. At quarter, Roy Collentine and Frank Johnson played a fast game. Their work pulled the team out of many tight places. They both have another year at school. Roger Vtfelsh and john Skinner made one of the best pair of ends in the state. NVith John as captain of the 1911 BO-ISK' Eighty-three I riff 'E' .nm- team, we hope to turn out another championship team. John Petritz and Clifton McGuire held down the tackle positions. They were always trying to out-play the others. It was 'because of this that no opponent found his way around the tackles. Both graduate this year, and leave two holes to be filled. The guards, Enfred Erickson and Harry Cross, played a fighting game. They were always on the job. Two more holes have to be filled, as they graduate this year. Cap Squier and Frank Heron at center, were as steady as two columns. They passed the ball accurately and often broke through the enemy's line to block kicks and spoil plays. 'Squier also is a 1911 graduate. Baker and NVilloughby also did excellent work at the position of guard. Both of these men will be missing from the next year's line-up. Roy Messner for his good work was allowed a sweater without the HR . The success of the 1910-11 foot-ball team was due to a great many causes. First of all, the boys on the squad were striving to win for Rockford High and not to bring honor to themselves. They worked together like a piece of perfectly running machinery. The team had no star or spectacular playersg each man was as important to the working out of any plays as any other man, and it was because of this that the season resulted in success. Good coaching is always a requirement for a good foot- ball team. Another important feature that helped the boys was their strict adherence to the training rules. This gave them endurance and strength enough to go through fights that completely exhausted their opponents. Proper care and good equipment was plentiful, and the Athletic Association is to be highly praised for the admirable way in which they handle the foot-ball season. But perhaps the greatest force which aided in winning the championship of Illinois was the captain. Kitty was in the game to win or die, and he inspired all his men with the same spirit. In the midst of the hardest fights he al- ways had a word of praise and encouragement to his team- Eighty-four mates. With a slap on the shoulder he would urge them ou to win. And they always did. In every respect the season of 1910 was the most success- ful in the history of the Rockford High School, and it is hoped and expected that the 1911 team with John Skinner as its leader will repeat the outcome of this year and once more make the Rockford High School foot-ball team the champions of Illinois. ts.: The Lune up Feorge Kitterln ham Left Half Back umor lrank lhomas Right Half Bacl Senior Roger Welsli I eft Fnd Senior Lhfton McGuire I eft Tackle Senior Tnfred Frickson Left Guard Senior Xfvllllillll Baker Right Guard Senior john Petritz Right Tackle Senior john Skinner Right End junior 1 rank Johnson Quarter Back Junior Fdwin t rant Pull Back Sophomore Harry Cross Left Guard Senior Roy Collentine Quarter Back junior Arthur Willotighby Right Cuard junior Howell Cary er Full Back Sophomore Frank Heron Center Junior I - I . .g -0 -J . h T , ,. n- . p Q-5 . l 2 J. - - . l Kasson Squier-Center-Senior. r -0 -Q .

As the first team always picks its substitutes and regulars from these scrubs , the out- look for next year's basket-ball team is bright and pleasing. llasket-ball is rapidly gaining the support of the student body and in a short time the present indications are that it will rival foot-ball in the enthusiasm and number of its fol- lowers. 4--1 'Il 'l vflilmf lm lmllfllll' 'I my 'nf' 50111111 limi ' 'L' 1 L . 1 'vixrk' I 'VNV '! i'm'!iile ,Jfj-,gli 'A ,fx ' ifflrbgf W ll! ni' !!

So one evening a delegation went to the local store to buy the present. XVhen they arrived, almost the entire school was assembled there to greet them. Such a clamor!

After suggesting every possible and impossible thing, from a cook-stove to a bottle of hair dye, one, more thoughtful, volunteered this excellent advice, that a gentleman's shaving case would be particularly appropriate, as maiden school teachers were al- ways at a discount in the matrimonial world, and it would be of great assistance to surround her with desirable ar- ticles. But then they decided that as Dear Teacher' had expressed the desire to treat her pupils. they would give her the chance. One wide-awake youngster suggested, that as they had only 51.50 to spend, it would be just the thing to get a dollar's worth of candy and a fifty-cent book. The next day, with due formality, the candy and the book, entitled, How to Grow Qld Amiablyu, were pre- sented by the school. An expectant hush descended upon the room. You are dismissed, said Dear Teacher . No one stirred. Thinking they had not heard her, Dear Teacherl' repeated HYou are dismissed. One small boy, taking the responsibilty on his shoulders, asked: '61-lavenlt you forgotten something? ' Of course I have: pardon my neglect. I thank you very much for the book. I do not see how any one your age could have been so thoughtful as to select such a beautiful volume as this. Then the disappointed pupils filed out of the room. CA True Storyj. ' I.

One Hundred One One Hundred Two il Mm? One Hundred Three Faculty-Senior Baseball Game I sat in the sun on the bleachers, As the melodies of the band And the cheers of the students and faculty Rose in discord from the stand. Black and blue streamers were numerous, The faculty colors they sayg And the same was the shade of the faculty When they got through the battle that day. They were stiff and awkward: the actions Of the faculty boys , I meang For the way they handled the bat and ball Was a comical sight to be seen. I saw the Senior colors Of purple and gold so grand Stream out in triumphant victory Before the game began. Now a run or two for the Seniors, Then the faculty tied the score: And the honor of all the older headsu Made them strive but in vain for more. And for many days that followed That wonderful game of ball The faculty, limping and crestfallen Wandered silently ,round the hall. The game and the Seniors are but memory, And the score is forgotten by all, A But a famous old, beautiful painting Recalls the '10 game of ball.

XN'hen such occasions do arise, people who are admirably suited to do such work are found to be numerous. The Philippic Society has undertaken the dif- ficult task of writing a play, to be presented by the club if it proves successful, and with this start along the dramatic line the idea should be easily carried to a successful finish next year. 'The only opportunities which the students have of de- veloping their ability in this line is in the reception plays and in the more difficult play at Commencement. The reception plays are usually short and humorous. Of necessity, the time devoted to the rehearsals and preparation for these presentations is short. often not over three weeks. and the result is marvelous. The Commencement play is one requiring considerable talent and much practice. The rehearsals start two months before Commencement, and continue until the very latest date. Occasionally the dress rehearsal is the night before Commencement. ln the last two years the play chosen for this occasion has been the dramatization of some popular modern novel. Such plays. while they demand a large amount of study and application, require far less than a Shakesperian drama, and seems to be more acceptable to the audience. The credit of such excellent productions as we always have, is due to Miss Czarina Giddings. Miss Giddings spends considerable time in studying the art of acting and methods of presentation. and is very successful in her work. The High School is indeed fortunate in having a member of its faculty possessing such rare talents as Miss Giddings.

Miss Sierra Rengaline, a prairie rose, is sent by her father to be toned down , by her aunt, Mrs. Undego- blhones, of Fifth Ave., New York. Lady Llandpoore sends her daughter Guinevere to Mrs. Undego-jhones while she goes West to ward off her im- pecunious nephew, Chauncey Oglethorpe, Gninevere's lover. At the beginning of her visit Lady Guinevere innocently insults Sierra by saying that her brother considers American girls more fun than a box of monkeys. Guinevere desires to be taught fascination, This gives Sierra a chance to punish her for the insult, which she does with a vengeance. Guinevere is taught to use freely all the slang and vulgar expressions then prevalent. In short, Sierra thinks that Guinevere's brother will consider his sister as more fun than a box of monkeys. ln the meantime, Edward Ralston, half owner of the Sierra gold mine, visits Sierra, is caught by the aunt, but mistaken for the butler. As Mr. Ralston is disliked by Sierra's father, he keeps up the deception and remains near Sierra. Chauncey escapes his aunt, meets Mrs. Ondego-jhones, wins his way into the old lady's heart, secures an invitation to her home, and makes love to Guinevere. Mr. Ralston teaches him how to propose. Guinevere accepts. The gold mine pans out, making the owners, l'fllXVZ1l l Ralston and Chauncey Oglethorpe millionaires, Objections are withdrawn and the play closes with the blessing of Mrs. tlndego-Jhones for the happy four.

Kenneth Shepard was Mr. Box, LeRoy Grigsby, Mr. Cox, and Amy Lundgren played the part of Mrs. Bouncer. Box was a hat-maker and roomed in the establishment of Mrs. Bouncer. He was not satisfied with his apartments, however, as in the evening, when he returned from work, he generally found the rooms filled with tobacco smoke, which was very disagreeable to Mr. Box. He could ac- count for this in no other way than that Mrs. Bouncer her- self was a victim of the smoke habit, but this accusation she indignantly denied. Cox was a printer who worked by night and slept by day. He also made his home with Mrs. Bouncer and, strangely enough, his room always had the air of having been occu- pied during his absence. All this mystery was due to Mrs. Bouncer. She was a shrewd old landlady, and saw no reason for not getting double rent for the same room, as long as the two men oc- cupied it at diiferent times and never encountered each other. So there was the plan on which Mrs. Bouncer con- ducted her establishment. One day, however, Mr. Box was given a holiday and came home, only to find Mr. Cox occupying his room. A quarrel ensued, and Mrs. Bouncer was forced to explain her deception. Box and Cox swore to be life long enemies, and strove in vain to keep up the quarrel. In comparing notes, however, they soon learned that they were two long lost brothers and they immediately became great pals . The entire sketch was humorous and vastly entertaining. It showed hard work on the part of the players and the di- rectors, and was one of the cleverest sketches ever presented by the school.

Though not yet very numerous, our organiza- tions are all good and well supported. To this last state- ment, however, we must take exception. For in the case of the Boys' Debating Club, we regret to say it is not true. The interest in this society has waned, until there is little left but a pleasant memory. Perhaps the Argumentation class is to be held responsible for the loss of so worthy an institu- tion. But if this has failed, our Band is the same excellent institution, of which we are so justly proud, and which is admired and envied by so many other schools. As this furnishes an outlet for the musical ability of the boys, so the music class does for the girls. Next to the Band, come our two great literary organizations, the Annual, or Year Book, as it is so often called, and the Owl, our monthly publication. The Annual must speak for itself. All we ask is that you will try not to be too harsh in judging it, for it represents many weary hours of labor and thought on the part of the staff. The Owl has been very successful this year, as always, and has turned out excellent numbers. The Phillipic, another literary society, is prospering wonderfully well. The Wireless and Outing clubs are also growing in proportion to the growth of the school as a whole. There are other smaller organizations, which, though not as well known as those mentioned, do their part in rounding out our school life. VVe sincerely hope, not only that those organi- zations now in existence will live and prosper, but that many others just as good will spring up in the ensuing years. N. Y.

Emmy HELEN Walssn ELLA SATRE HAZEL WILCOX Miss CoRcoRAN HE Philippic was organized in October, 1907, in order to give the members advantages along the lines of disputation, original composition, elocution, extemporane- ous speaking, and parliamentary drill. The society entered its third year in September, 1911. The membership was about twenty-live, but has increased in numbers. Our meetings are held every Tuesday. Twice a month we have a business meeting and parliamentary drill. The other two meetings are devoted to programs. We try to make these as interesting as possible, both to the so- ciety, and to those who assist in rendering them. Special programs for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Memorial Days are always given. At one meeting we heard an entertaining talk on the Navajo Indians, their customs and manners, and a review on the Oberammergau. One meeting was devoted to the history of Anne Royal, the iirst newspaper woman, and to the Philippic newspaper, which afforded much amusement. After the program, each member is given a short time to tell of any current event she has read. Do not think that we are associated just for business and programs. For the purpose of getting well acquainted with one another and with our advising board, we have parties, when the occasion demands. On Hallowe'en we had a social gathering in Room 23. The room was decorat- ed in Orange and Black. Various games were played, but the most interesting feature, if I may call her that, was the fortune teller. She was dressed in a most gorgeous cos- tume, and bedecked with jewels and hearts. She read our palms in a most self-confident manner, and many things were true. On February 16 we held a reunion. Indeed we were happy to see about sixty there, including the teachers. A contest, A Shakespearean Romancew, helped recall the plays of that dramatist. The members played charades and danced. H. G. W. V , . , - a. ,gi Ai ,Z gm One Hundred Twenty-five fr Wilhlllllllllll Gr Illi lloys' Debating Society, which in previous years has had control of the debating work in the High School, was forced to discontinue early in the season, bee cause of lack of interest among the student body. But the study of Argumentation, which has hcen introduced into the linglish course, has taken up this work and is carrying it along with a determination to succeed. Un january 27th lfreeport met Rockford in a dehate on the question: Resolved: That the Commission liorm of tiovernmeut should be adopted by the citizens of Illinois and southern VVisconsin. Rockford chose the affirmative side, and was represented hy .john Petritz, Hugh Court- right and Hugh XN'ard. The decision was in favor of Free' port. A-Xt ulanesville, on Slay 12th, the Rockford team, come posed of Morris Shanhouse, tieorge Patrick and jules lloughteling, was defeated on the question of The Popular election of Senatorsng Rockford taking the negative side. With the same question for debate, but supporting the affirmative side, Henry Chase, Frank llahr and Maynard Lundgren were to meet llelvidere High Schoolon May 26. llut as llelvidere has canceled the date, the two Rockford teams will meet each other. Une Hundred Twenty-Six Oratory HE oratorical work this year has been lacking in in- terest. The students have shown plainly that they have no desire to take part in such work and it is to be feared that the oratory will in a very short time come to an end. The interest of the school has never been in this work. Per- haps three or four enter into it willingly, but the majority of students do so only after much urging and persuading. That a school of a thousand people has not more than half a dozen willing workers in the oratorical line does notyspeak very well for the student body. i Rockford has sent representatives to two Declamation contests this vear After a try out at home Irving Brown was given first place and was sent to Beloit Ralph Hay who received second was entered at De Kalb and won hon orable mention and third place As is the custom in the school the Senior class and the faculty chose the orators for Commencement The choice of the former was Ralph Hay that of the latter, Kasso1 Qqmer 0 fa N4 f-5 4, n W6 if 'Q5 V m mes Q twill A auT aff 03,59 J fgmr Q '5 PX 14, 'DH -Q 6 I f. fKfVN O1 !

This club consists of the members of the botany and zoology classes and other students of the High School, who are interested in birds and flowers. Two committees, one from either class, decide where the club shall go for their outing. Un these trips, the botany pupils get material for their tlower calendar, while the Zoology people not only study the birds, but also get col- lections of insects. The Country Club grounds furnish one of the first places to be visited in the Spring. There the students gather dainty pasque flowers and early butter-cups. They also have an excellent opportunity to observe the early birds, such as the larks, bluebirds and song'-sparrows. Kenilwortlfs Creek, Frisbie's and johns' woods and many other places are of great intrest to nature-loving students. Sometimes two visits are made to one or two of these places, because the lovely flowers that carpet the woods with such bright colors before the leaves come out, fade in May. Like- wise, it is often necessary for the Zoology class to visit one place several times in order to observe both the Summer residents and the transient visitors. The Outing Club, however, does not lack for social af- fairs. livery Fall, before the weather becomes too cold, and every Summer, before school closes, it has a picnic, in some convenient woods. And each field trip is really a picnic at which the girls and boys may drink in the beauties of nature and at the same time get a long walk in the fresh, clear air: quite different from that of the noisy city. an M var . , . ummm, 'Lv .mmf 4- ,sw .'- -'v wwvauu-rw-nlmnrvu ff- ,u 'mac-,ff v Je'-i 1 .L s.. ,-- ,wury 'em' v. ar-.ameri :rfb-J. -calm! Jne Hundred 'Phirty I 'l'llll l'-ll'S AAS, I went to see what they call the High School Lunch Room over by Rockford. An' of all the funny places I ever seen, that was the funniest. l went in a side door an' some little kids pulled me down the stairs, an' pushed me into a long room with windys all 'round. There was a sign hangin' from the ceilin', that told what to eat. I mean, what there was to eat. XVaal, I seen 'Oyster Stew, 5c', any I thought that would jest suit Ole Une Josh all right. Then some little girl piped up: 'Oh, you hot milk, with two oysters floating in it!' That fixed me. I finally got corned beef hash with catsup. There was the cutest lil' gal you ever seen, any all she got was blueberry pie an' chocolate ice cream. The crowd was somethin' awful. l stuck my sleeves in some one's gravy, an' then when l looked at that, I spilled all my coffee over my hash. .llut it wan't half bad. Then a lady gave me a little white thing: looked like a poker chip, sayin' 'l5c.'. XYaal, I went an' sat down at the first table I come to. An' an awful cute, fat little man sat next to me. He seemed to like soup purty well. All the kids talked so fast that l couldn't hear myself eat. One said: 'VVasn't that English test a fright?', an' the other one said: 'Did you see the girl Bill had last night ?' l took my time 'bout catin', but the others hurried like everythin'. NVaal, come in when you're over this way again. One Hundred Thirty-one f 4 I aff.

Once every month he made his visits in search of food. Luscious little jokelcts were his favorite dainty. Of these there seemed to be but a few. But pa- tient and enduring in all things, he came on his regular calls to his faithful, and, unflinching, received the slurring remarks of well meaning acquaintances on the lack of spirit in the old red bird. But silently he longed for the delicious bits he needed, but lacked, ah! so sadly! And so, mourn- fully skaking his venerable feathered head, he went away, praying in his faithful old heart for better care the follow- ing season. li. K., '11 MR. C. C.

This is the motto of the Steady Club , of the Rockford High 3 School organized in September of the year 1910. If one takes a walk before school, at noon, after school or passes 5. through the halls between hours, they are likely, yes sure, 25 to meet at least some of the members. At the south door before school anyone so desiring may Find Ralph and Leta. 5 Upon going outdoors, either sitting on the stone coping or walking along Oak St., may be found Helen and Ritchie. il Sadie and Keith are usually on Chestnut St., for this seems to be a favorite walk of theirs. Before sixth hour on Tues- ,, days and Fridays, Dorothy and Fred may be interviewed at the landing of the stairs leading to the Gym , or almost lt any place at any time, during the day. If Fred is wanted, find Dorothy, there also will Fred be. Then, Ch, you 'l lunch hour! Those Brown boys seem to like to take a walk around the block. Likewise do Nina and Ella. Henry . and Margaret are not so bad, for they do not seem to meet 13 very often in the halls. It is said that David and Marie are 4 somewhat of the same turn of mind, but it can hardly be true, I think. because I have just been told, and have never iq seen them together. Some of the people on the waiting list for admission into the Steady Club are Cap , Hod, Lloyd, Byron, Mac and VVayne. The girls are not mentioned, as ll we have not suhicient room for all their names. Dear lNriter:-Did you overlook our chief members, or do you have first lunch hour? But perhaps john and Peggy if do not really belong because they are always so well chaper- Z? oned. See class will. H 5 :E ALL- R.H S. Loves A Love: ? Wy, ' - as xl .

Four animals went to a show, a rabbit, a duck, a frog, and a skunk. The admission was a dollar apiece. NVhich ones got in and how much did each one pay? Did you catch on? The rabbit presented his four quarters, The duck presented his bill, The frog presented his greenback The skunk could not get in, because he o11ly had a fsjcent. f Cross in Virgil: Looking all the time, continuously, everywhere, at everything. P. Rogan: I once looked into a mirror and it made me look long, slim and slender. Mary has hard luck. When she went to the lime kiln with a few of her chemistry chums. she got some stones in her shoes. At the pottery, she soiled her hand with clay. She got a little gas up her nose at the gas works: while sad- dest of all, at Allen's Ice Cream factory a little ice cream went down her throat. . , lmwmmimwN31n6 nv :xr'11.:z:n'n'1iWUl fmt-lark One, Hundred Forty-tive hvwtxwwnlvlt-Yunnan!!

Lobster: You will always find it improper to remark about your similarity to some of the guests present. Not all lobsters are good eating. Why is it that soup has a tendency to make one fat? -H. T. Boiled Potato: The manner in which you are treated is outrageous, but make yourself as insignificant as possible and you will soon be down. Is milk and crackers a sutiicient lunch for a full-grown boy?-W. S. Is wandering around the halls and climbing stairs for twenty minutes every morning good for a healthy person? --G. Onion: The 1nost objectionable thing about your per- son is the perfumery which you insist in using in such enormous quantities. Pea: VVhen invited to take a trip down the supply pipe, do not roll away as if in doubt, but start on your journey like a man. Why do I require a drink of water every forty-five min- utes F--L.D.H.
