The owl, the frog, the cricket, .Evening's pets, Accomp'nied by the splash of unseen rills, ' Each call at intervals, in varied notes g And make the night seem yet more hushed and still, While through the air a dull oppression floats, And infinite space with sadness seems to iill. Wherefore rejoice? I mourned-then thought a while O'er four short years of new found joys gone by. YVherefore rejoice,?,' My lips formed in a smile, But 'ere they broadened-drooped into a sigh. I smiled at all the frolic and the fun, The mishaps we were guilty of each day, I sighed because those lightsome days were done, And now I leave, another takes my place. To balder pates and grayer locks than mine, A sorrow such as this may trifling be. Their years have witnessed misery and grind, And blackness such as angels fear to see. And yet, is it not sadness now to leave Each preceptor, each oft-strolled hall, each friend? And should we not with ample reason grieve That all those good old times we've had must end? To be one little part of thy great whole, Of thy machinery to be one cog, 'That I might help to make thy great wheels roll, Andi not to rust in disuse-fnot to clog- That was my wish, and I my work did face, I labored, and imbibed school's zest-and gist, And now had come the parting of the way, While I pass on, and am not even missed. Thus has it always been, thus shall it be As long as God with mortals keeps his bond, And while the sun dips in the western sea, ' Shall man incessantly be passing on.

Sopbomore Number The class of. '16 Came into existence in the year 1912 A. D.. and Drobably will die a natural death in 1916, but never to be -for- gotten. When these little Freshmen came to R. H. S. for the first time. they seemed very hopeless, but now have blossomed out into the Hnest Sophomore class ever. The bovs have entered into athletics with the right spirit, while the girls exhibit theirltalent by speaking and singing in as- sembly. Of course, we will have to admit that we have done some very original things, such as being unorganized for one whole semester. but according to Mr. Collins, originality if lacking, should be cultivated. ABILITY During a recent visit to R. H. S.. I saw many as- thing that attracted my at- tention the most was the ability of the Soohomores. O! What a bright future those Sophomores have. l was visiting a class second hour and a bov sitting in the rear seat drew mv at- tention. He was uttering queer sounds, deforming his face, and moving a chair back and forth as if Dlay- ing that the chair was an engine. My, but that boy has a bright career ahead of him as an inventor. per- haps, of some new kind of an engine. I am told that he has had some experience in entertaining of late, es- pecially by imitating babies. Upon inquiring, I was told that his name was James Connell. I saw manv other promising people, ibut who in this short article I ean- not. even attempt to de- SCl'llJCD, who deserve a these is Lester Blewiield. Ah! There is in him the making of a second Daniel W'ebster. GENERAL APPEARANCE The Sophomore class of 1914 is the most brilliant and fashionable class that has ever entered Rockford High School. In regard to the dress, the Sophomores wear plain. simple clothes which al- ways take, Thev are en- vied by the upper and low- er classmen alike. Thev are always neat and elean. and do noi Seem to he withered at 2:30 ll. M.. but are as fresh as thev were at 0 A. M. There is none of that eoneeit, which l'll1ll'1lClCI'l3'0h most Sophomores. in them, but they are modest and retiring.

Second Semester 58 ' RQCKPORD HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL fifrcsbmenfiln General 1l..i.-- HE Freshmen are the pollywogs in the S'Cf6-Elm Of k110W1Cdge- As usual, we have this year four species, the mentals, orna- mentaLs, sentimentals, and detrimentals. The first kind, the mentals, may be seenin the study halls every morning, endeavoring to absorb some slight measure of intelligence. The second class, the ornamentals, is usually found reflecting before the mirrors. . The third class, the sentimentals, are fond of long journeys in search of Physiography specimens.- . The detrimentals, the most common species, supply the element who are more interested in the new variations of the tango than they are in the intricacies of the course they are supposed to be pursuing. By the end o-f the first semester, the complete conglomeration had become as highly polished as a patent leather pump. By the end of the year, they doubtless will be obessed with the idea that their wealth of wisdom would make King Solomon look like an expired street car transfer. But whether in the process of the years they turn out heroes or Neroes, much interest will be attached to their development, and we may be as -greatly surprised at their outcome as was the hen that hatched out ducks. A Freshman is a curious conglomeration of fact and fancy. Some of the facts are that he is green, that most of his species, which are small already, are growing smaller each year, and that without him there would have been no relay race. Some of his fancies are that he knows something, that he is very important, and that without him all natural phenomena would cease. lt has never been definitely settled how or where he acquires all his superfluous verdancy. Upper classmen possessing emeralds 01- green raiment should be careful not to bring them to school, for thcx' are liable to fade under the inliuence of the voracious fresliics, who seem to have a large capacity for that color.

H. S. graduates. This catalogue will contain, when completed, the names of all graduates from the year 1862 to 1914. The present occupation and the present name, in case of marriage, of the person will be given. The latest catalogue previous to this time was pub- lished in 1896. . to The desired information is secured, as far as possible, from a member of the class. A letter containing a list of the names of the class and the information already secured, was sent to each of the chosen people, asking them to complete the Work as soon as possi- ble. Possible assistants were named in most cases. Wheii the catalogue is finished, it will contain the history, in brief, of the East Side, West Side, and Central High Schools. It Will be of interest to all alumni, for it will call up long forgotten hap- penings ancl days of merry companionship. 4 1 TN H ,cf L x xg E f at 111 1-' Gr x X an JQ in '3-,I fi - fx wi X iffffvixfs ' X Q r ii ai.

Starting the year with a membership of thirty-live, it has surpassed our most sanguineexpectations. Even if the music at the Rockford-Freeport football game was good, it was far inferior to that at our annual concert. . Our concert, which was given May 6, was the most successful the band has ever given. tQur music was better and the attendance greater than at any other concert. We had twelve hundred and sixty-nine paid admissionsr The auditorium was filled to its full ca- pacity. The band has played at all the basketball and football games this year, and for several outside functions. The outlook for next year's band is very promising, as there are only six who will graduate. There are over a dozen who 'have signified their intention of joining. Those who will graduate are :' Selwyn Johns, solo clarinet, Eugene Huff- man, solo clarinet, Raymond Price, solo cornet, Nelson Sheldon, bass, DeWitt Allen, bass, Ralph Shapley, trombone. Qur .annual banquet was held December 27. All the regular members were there and many of the alumni. A short program was given and was followed by remarks from all the alumni present. The purpose of our banquet is to promote the good fellowship between the new and old members and the alumni. It is the only time in the year that we all get together. We will play in the parade of the schools May 22, and for the exercises at the park. The aim of the band is to boost the school and its organizations and especially the athletics. Although the band boys cannot take part in the games, we try to help ,those who do. We try to be on hand at all the contests and we play for the crimson and black whether they win or lose. R.

Raymond Young Elizabeth KUHDP The Qwl, the pet bird of many of the young people of this city, is a magazine published monthly by the students of Rockford High School. V The 0wl has grown old, although not feeble, among the scenes of the High School, for it has reached the quarter century mark. Wfith all its strength, it has not received the financial backing of other years in the line of subscriptions. The very successful plan of having some organization, class, or activity of the school take charge of the publication of one month, has been carried out through the year. Some of the numbers were es- pecially interesting as a result of this plan. A new department has also been added. Next year the Owl'? will have started a new quarter and we sin- cerely hope it will have a most prosperous year. , . 1 F- l f. f M57 ' ' , f . 11414.11 if--Q :PP r vii' 'ir' I 1 A,'v y Il ' ,,.,,- -r Wit If Yf -1 g , '4 ..-: x-,xllflrgnlff 4 'S'- 1-iv fp' if 1 I' E 1 'f K 1 E E W ft .-E 5 f ,' 3,112 in -E ' 5 Z ,lb fl' ,' ix 'T i 'S L'-1 ' f1.!,f il I' - 3 HI ,I 'J i,n,5IfNi'l.Q'I yd' 2 5 ' , riff' I llyn ,lg,i 'Mil-N' Ill- 3 li f!

Although they enjoyed their class room instruction, they felt the need of an organization wherein they could be more informal and free in their efforts at self-expression and mutual improvement. Since that time the society has steadily progressed and expanded, the present enrollment showing over forty active nienibers. MEMBERS: 1914.

Unlike some other societies, it has held its members and it has proved to be both interesting and helpful to them. The boys have studied many interesting problems from a scientific point of vievv. The topics studied have covered a vvide field, ranging from comparatively simple devices, such as smoke consumers, to the complicated construction and operation of a hydro-electric povver plant. The society subscribes for a mechani- cal magazine and, Whenever possible, it has secured Working models of the mechanical devices. With the help of Mr. Shrum and under the management of a cap-able.administration, the R. H. S. E. S. is bound to become a strong branch of the school activities. I D. b.. 'l-l.

This spring the club enjoyed its weekly field trips more than ever-especially the trips Where eats were present. These held trips are occasions when a boy may call a girl by her first name and a girl call a boy by his nick-name and still not be judged guilty of vio- lating the old stern rules of etiquette. This was especially true at the annual picnic held at Rock Cut. This picnic was an occasion long to be rernenibered and has already been recorded in theihigh school history, lWVho's Wfho and WVhat's VVhat.

Mr. Zook has proven himself capable as a leader and a director, as indicated by the ability of the boys. .-Xs soon as the call came for boys for a Glee Club, there were about thirty who came. The most of these were not trained singers, but were willing to learn. At the present time there are forty mem- bers. V They made their first appearance Friday night, May lst. They exhibited to the parents and friends of the school what could be done. The Glee Club appeared at the Armory May 22nd, in full u11ifOfm- The grand event of the year was the concert given May 29th.

No team that ever wore the Red and Black made such a fine showing at the last of the year. V I Four years ago john Daley startedbhis career in the second team. Wfho said then that he would be captain of one of the most success- ful teams that the school has ever known? 'He figured most stlgollgfly in its success. It was Iohn's constant encouragement and pep that helped the fellow to win. You could always find John where the light was the thickest. .inothpr feature of has work gas hislfgrwarfl ass. He assed the ba witi accuracy an was o en ca e upo go do it. Fpor his work already mentioned, he was chosen by several enthusiasts as captain of the all-state team. john will be back on the team next year and will be a great help to the new captain, Stanley Putnam. ' When speaking of all-state men, we must not forget to mention Ray jackson. His name will go down in high school history as one of the greatest half-backs that ever wore the Red and Black. Wfitli his long end runs, his line plunges, and his deadly tackles, he was a great factor in the team's success. lt will be up to some underclass- man to fill the place which he will leave vacant on the team at grad- uation. The other half-backs were Vlfilliams, VVagner and Carbaugh. Of these, VVagner was handicapped the most of the season by an injury which prevented him from doing his best. in Carbaugh, for a new man. showed good prospects and deserves much credit for his gzuueness. Williaiiis, although small, was greatly feared by opponents. lle was a sure tackle and could always be depended upon to carry the ball. All of these men graduate in the ,lil class. The quarter-back ,position was held down bv X9pl'OUlll and Liar- ret. Both of these men were speedy and used excellent jinlgiueut in JD. f Work xfl 88 ROCKFORD HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL running the tea1n. This position will have to be filled by new men next year. . The full-back problem was one that kept the coaches worried. Captain Daley was used in that position the first part of the season until the coaches developed another man for the-place. Although this was not his position,he did very well and credit should be given him for undertaking a task for which he was not fitted. Later Tom johnson and Alvie Smith were tried and both proved that they were well worth the trial. As both the fellows are to be back next year, great things are expected of them. In the line the coaches had little to worry about, for most of the men were veterans. With Penniman and Dennis at the ends, there was nothing to fear in that quarter. Penny was noted for getting the runner in track when running down under the ball, and for his defensive work. Dennis, on the other hand, was noted for his bril- liant catches of the forward pass.. Not a game was complete unless Red picked a pass out of the air and ran for a touchdown. The positions of tackle were well taken care of by Stan,' Putnam and 'fTwinkle,' Svaren. Both of these men could carry the ball for long gains and often broke up plays of the opponents before they could get started. 'fStan has been chosen by his team mates as cap- tain of the lil team, and everyone wishes him the best success. Morrie Cotta fitted in as a utilityman, he played guard, tackle, end, and center with equal ability. His work was of the finest, and he will be heard from next year. Q At the guard position was found George Allan, Captain Daley, and joe Hollenbeck. Any quarterback who was so foolish as to try to send a play through here soon found that he was wasting time and energy. Allan and Bob Leach, by well covering the center position com- pleted the stone wall line. Taken as a whole the Rockford line in .1913 was a team to repre- sent Rockford High School and what it stands for.

English classes have taken up the task of dramatiz- ing some of the books studied. The class in dramatics has continued the year with much success and enthusiasm. Although this line of work has often been regarded from a humorous stand- point, the time is coming when high school students will realize the real value of such work. Those vvho take part in the 'study agree that it is a very interesting and instructive study. It is a valuable asset in developing self-reliance in the most bashful. Then again it produces a grace in the most common movements that gives a person great ease in society. Considering these facts we think that the value of dram- atics is inestimable and should be encouraged in the High School. Einer Musz I-Ieiraten. Presented by the Third Year German Class. The setting is in the home of two brothers, Wlilhelm and Jakob Zorn. The boys' father dies and states in his will that one of them must marry. However, both boys are book worms and very bash- ful. Their aunt, who is keeping house for them, becomes disgusted by the' general indifference of the boys to things which are generally of interest to young men. She threatens to disinherit them unless one marries. Each trys to persuade the other to get married, but to no avail. In the meantime Gertrude, the aunt, brings a girl named Louisa into the house, hoping that one of the boys will fall in love with her. The boys, being unable to decide which shall marry, cast lots and the choice falls to Jakob, the most bashful. However. he has not the courage to begin his courtship. Wfilhelm 'agrees to give him some lessons. VVhile Wfilhelm proceeds with the demonstration on Louisa, Jakob conceals himself behind the bushiesand observes the proceedings. VVhile the more courageous youth is in the midst of his demonstration, he becomes infatuated and proposes for himself. The aunt comes in and, finding the two together, wants to know the 104 ROCKFORD HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL meaning. She asks Jakob why he stands by so indifferently. He re- plies that his brother is merely shovvmg him how to proceed. .Then Vlfilhelm introduces Louisa .as his wife, much to jakob's discom- hture. However, he decides to resign himself to his fate and con- tinue his study. Cast of Characters. Wilhelin Zum ..................,......................... ....................,...

The setting is in the studio of a young artist. On this afternoon he is giving a studio tea. Artie, the artist, receives a telegram which agitates him. It is from a missionary aunt, stating that she Will arrive that afternoon. This aunt had, six months before, insisted that Artie be married or she would disinherit him. The luckless ar- tist, being in great need. of money, Wrote that he was married, and enclosed a picture of one of his models, Vlfilly by name. Artie's in- tentions Were good, -however, as he' intended to marry a young Wo-- man by the name of Eleanor Perry, but she refused him. It twas evident that a wife had to be produced. Bobby Parks, one of Artie's friends, suggested that Willy pose as the wife. After much per- suasion, Willy Was prevailed upon to act in such capacity. The guests of the afternoon and Aunt Agnes arrive. The studio tea progressed with many strange things occurring, until the suspic-- ions of the guests and Aunt Algnes are aroused. The calamity of discovery was frequently averted by Bobby Park's ability at inventing explanations. The last straw is broken when Willy lets slip that she has been on the stage., Aunt Agnes demands an explanation. Bobby Parks volunteers but she refuses to listen. Miss Perry comes to the rescue by telling that Artie was Willing to marry, but she refused him. Aunt Agnes is greatly relieved to find that this terrible 'per- sonn is not Artie's Wife. S-he readily grants her forgiveness and all ends happily. Cast of Characters ATUC ------------------.... ...................................... .... n I ohn McCann B'0bbY Parks ------- .......

The time has also been spent on many new folk dances. The same apparatus is used. Only one new addition has been secured, to the comfort of the person who had to pick up the fallen wands or to the joy of the Hstudious Seniors up above, that is a new rack for the wands. Miss Hill still hopes to give a big exhibition some time to secure money for more new apparatus. Wlien the Swedish gymnasts were here, Miss Hill was delight- ed at the wonderful training and, of course, resolved to train her girls in such a way. She did try it, but-all in vain. The famous Helen,' team, in basketball, survives and three other teams, Freshman, junior, and Senior, are known to exist. However, they never have a chance to show that they exist, because Mr. Loos delights in claiming the gym for his boys every night. Even though the girls have not been able to play, they have a spirit among themselves which holds them together. They had a spread the last day of February and gave a dancing party in the gym later in the semester. The faculty enjoyed this pleasure with the girls. We have had the pleasure of only one regular gyn1', party this year, for the girls are tired of entertaining and are waiting for the boys' new gymnasium to be completed so that they can be repaid for their work.

The general effect is -A, Very 'flady-likef' The skirts are very full at the T nlmjfi' TT top, just like bags, or, if many ruffles are rolled T around them, like automobile tires. At the bot- tom just the extent of an ordinary step UD is allowed. A colored cord-string, made of silk thread with bewitching tassels hanging loose at the end, is brought around the neck underneath the collar. Besides this a large rope of wooden balls, called beads, are hung around the neck. ,A knot is tied between each bead to make the rope appear fancy and not so heavy. These delicate ropes always blend exquisitely with the gown or suit. Q T Behold! Dame Fashion's Modern Girl. ' ' H. G.

Her favorite waist is the iniddy, hanging loose and free, to give one roointo swing her arins when raising the hand or called upon to write at the blackboard. A plain skirt of the same or a dark color, is worn with the iniddy. Such color coin- binations as red and pink are never allowed, for she says that she saw enough of those shades in ribbons and ties in the festival parade last year. Qt course the skirts are full at the hein. The girl she admires wears her hair down her back, either part- ed in the middle or in a simple poinpadour without any flashy ribbons. The shoes and stockings are of the same color, and the shoes have a sensible low heel. By drilling these ideas into us day after day, and day after day, Miss Hill hopes, soon, to surpass Dame Fashion's enticing dictations. l l Freshman S faff 110 RGCKFORD HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 'Ghz Tlfigb School Tilirieno OUR years ago last February our good friend and nurse, Mrs. Holmes, entered R.

And shew unto them that have no learning the glory and mys- tery of knowledge. E U 4. So that all who seek may come unto you and quench their thirst. ' 1 1 5. Then Haight spoke unto Briggs, saying: 6. Wfe will do even as you say, but what and where shall we teach P 7. And Mauller, likewise, spoke, saying: S. Yea, where and what shall we teach, knowing neither where the multitude are nor yet what they desire? 9. And Briggs made answer unto them and spoke, saying: 10. Verily, verily 1 say unto you, even as ,flies gather around honey, so will the multitude seek ye out. ll. Go ye, therefore, straightway unto two and twelve and set ye up a school. 12. And gather unto ye the multitude, and shew unto them the light of learning. 13. And Haight and Mauller departed sorrowfully, for they knew not what to teach. 14. And Mauller, in his sorrow, came upon two Sophomores who conversed with one another. 15. And one Sophomore spoke unto his friend, saying. 16. lf I had thought that you was there, I would have came, even ii I ain't go-t no auto. 17. And she answered, saying: 18. You ought to have went, I come near not- 19. And Mauller closed his ears to their talk and said: I will teach English. 20. And Haight, having come upon another Sophomore who said Demosthenes was a French architect of the eighteenth century, said to himself: I will teach the history of the Greeks and Romans.- Zl. And the two instructors met and conducted school together thru the hot summer months. 1 22. And, as Briggs said, the multitude came unto them. seekine' the light of wisdom. S 23. And they taught and were pleased with their work. 24. And under them the school progressed. and the multitude he came exceedingly versed in art and science. W EOCKFORD HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 113 Summer School of 1913 Under the guidance of Mr. Haight's and Mr. Mauller's hands, the 1913 summer school started out with a vim and enthusiasm that never once slowed up throughout the whole eight weeks of l2O-in- the-shade weather. We knew that we had a great deal of work to do, so we buckled down and did it. Mr. Haight taught Greek and Roman History, while Mr. Mauller had the 3-I and 4-I English classes. Our school session ran from 8 A. M. to 12 M. Our recitation periods were one hour long and we recited twice a day for each sub- ject. You can see that we were kept busy all the time, especially if we were carrying two studies. But summer school was not all work. Ear be it from such. Wfe all hrmly believed in that old proverb: All work and no play--. We were divided up into classes. Each Friday we had assembly and one class gave the program. Each class tried to outdo the other, and as a result, many novel stunts were pulled off. Gne of these was an illustrated lecture on My Wanderings through Illinois, by our distinguished artist, Ralph Shapley. We also organized an orchestra of three violins, a piano, a trom- bone, and Mr. Haight. We didn't get started very early in the season, but when we did get going we were right there with both feet. And our picnic! Ah, that picnic! The memory of it still lingers, even with our orator, Mr. Carbaugh, who broke all records at eating pickles and ice cream. Rumor states that he ate five quarts, three pints,.and two gills of sweet and sour pickles, and twenty-seven dishes of ice cream! ! ! At any rate, he ate so much that he wasn't able to come to school until the next day. . So our summer school progressed, and we earned a much coveted credit, and as we look back upon the year's work, not one of us regrets in the least that he spent his summer in school rather than on the SlI1'CClIS.

It certainly would have been enjoyed by all parties concerned, but alas, the idea was not forthcoming until the next to the last week of school, when it was too late. Immediately the thermometer, already hovering laround 100, started soaring. As far as we know it is still going up. The head of the mercury column became invisible at 1,231,461 degrees above. Another good feature of the summer school was this: The boys did not have to wear their coats. In fact, tl to leave them off. iey were almost compelled It is sincerely hoped that the orchestra will be started 'tffain tl ' L C c hc A IIS year. Many who heard it expressed ia very high opinion of it and a desire to hear it again. Another record says: Summer School proves that real pleasure is found in knowing that one is really doing something besides having ROCKFORD HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 115 the so-called good time. This certainly is the truth. One of the reasons why so many declare that last summer 1 had more fun than in all the rest of my vacations put together, is this: 'Wfe had earned our afternoon off. Vlfe were conscious of having done something worth whil . VV ' e e had not loafed away our vacation, but had put in four hours of pleasurable and profitable study each day. Our vaca- tion did not hang heavily on our hands. We were never conscious of feeling this is an awfully long day. No, we never went through that experience. TVV'hy? Because we did not spend our time on street corners o t h r ' ' r a t e parks. Because we did not worry ourselves half sick wondering what we would do tomorrow. Because we had done something worth while.

I I .a'f.:.M A H01 id ay ROCKFORD HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 121 Tl lay Tcslival HF. hrst Play Festival of the Public Schools, on june 6, 1913, was a great success. You remember, do you not, how we gathered that sunny Friday morning in our first hour classes, and sat ex- pectantly waiting for the telephone bell to summon us to the line in Qak Street? Some of us had come because we were afraid of what might happen if we did not, but as soon as we entered the building and felt the air of suppressed excitement that prevaded the place, we were glad we came-loyally glad to march behind the Band. The line of march for the High School was east on O-ak Street to- Third Street, north 'on Third to State, west on State to Kilburn Avenue, and then on Kilburn Avenue to Fair Grounds Park. Do' you remember how strangely familiar State Street looked, seen from our new vantage ground-the car tracks? There were rows and rows of smiling, eager faces, all looking at us. For once in our lives we were the center of attraction in the city. We wished we could see the long lines of grade boys and girls, who we knew were walking ahead of us, but we had to content ourselves with the knowledge that we were bringing up the rear of a procession many blocks in length, and with the idea that because of our beloved Band, our four hundred gym girls in white middy blouses, and our twelve hundred sturdy marchers, we were making no mean showing ourselves. The 1914 Play Festival was the biggest success ever pulled off by the Rockford High School. The elements of hitch and delay were conspicuous by their absence. Miss Gertrude I. Hill, under whose e-ntire direction the affair was managed, deserves the highest praise. She has ably demonstrated her executive ability to handle affairs of this kind of any magnitude. Rockford High School is fortunate in having Miss Hill enrolled with its faculty. 420 High School Girls in a Calisthenic Drill. 320 Seventh andrliighth Grade Girls in Rose Drill. Five May- Pole Dances. . 221 High School Boys in Living Flag. 120 Fifth and Sixth Grade Girls in Virginia Drill. 420 High School girls in Folk Dancing. 600 Second, Third and Fourth Grade Children in Games. ' Naturally we thought that the Calesthenic Drill and the Folk Dances by the H. S. girls and the Living Flag formed by our boys were by far the finest numbers on the program, not a few of the spec- tators agreed with us, too. A O The afternoon was devoted to athletic contests of various sorts for both High School and Grade boys. The Festival was indeed a glorious play day for everybody--no school, plenty of amusement, just a good ti1ne for all the family, as the advertisements say. 5 1 5 1 1 i 3 1 E S E i r ! n i 1 r V 3 Q .

ROCKFORD HIGH SCHOOL ANNUfZI, I a ICCPCKIVORD HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 141 Confessions of Tin 0piumi'1Eo,ter CThomas De Quincej EFORE me, one after another, straight and firm stood the silent row, making not a move, uttering not a sound, Each Qne was shackled to the next by cruel and thin wire bands, from whose dumb and senseless grasp escape was impossible. I looked from one to the other in silent inquiry, but -no sign of recognition-no answer was offered, and I dared not intrude my voice upon the unnatural silence. I shuddered, turning my face, and when I again directed my gaze towards the mute row, three rough looking villians appeared on the scene. As I saw what they were up to I gasped in horror and leaped forward-but it was too late! Cruel and penetrating steel clasps were fastened around the body of each of the shackled ones, and they were hurled into midair! ! Unable to shut my eyes, I looked and looked, until each one of the silent row lay stretched motionless on the ground. As I stood wondering why the gods permitted such deeds to be perpetrated in full daylight, as the three rogues stood sweating from their awful labor, there crept the realization into my mind-as the pictures on the opposite page will show you-that the barnyard fence surrounding the H. S. campus had been demolished. A row of posts, both thick and stout, Wire netting all about, So the bushes can't get out, Barnyard fence. Prison yard for trees and grass, Binds them in both firm and fast, Can't escape-alas-alas- From the fence. From the high school waddle three, Set the works of nature free! Trees and bushes dance with glee. Goodby fence. 1 I 1- , , A - a X , i -- 2 . . 3 1 X X ' A ROCKFORD HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL l l' A :Roman festival jf E 5 l L 4 l 4 X, 1 1 N B W 1 f r Y I 1 I P i -lul- 1 ICUL'lx'IfUNI7 IIICIH SCHOOL ANNUAL ix 3 Sx Nu'-R it ig GMQQTPOV' HIGH QCII' lCC7c'Ix'lfORl 7 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 145 -'Wa 'Sus P7 CARI.
