Waldo 'l' In 1' 1' L The Editorial Simultaneously with the patriotic fervor which has swept the country since the outbreak of hostilities with Germany, has come the cry for econ- omy. The movement had its beginning with the Conservation of food. Someone suggested gardening as both a pleasant and profitable pastime, not to mention its patriotic usefulness. Thousands of boys and men, women and girls have dutifully planted potatoes with a sort of an uplifted attitude of martyrdom. Indeed, activity along this line is worthy and commendable. Economy, in so far as it eliminates waste and conserves foodstuffs, is unde- niably beneiicial, not only in times of war but also in peace. In fact, it may be extended in numerous other directions such as the conservation of our natural resources. Far be it from us to discourage really helpful saving. But.-having once caught the spirit of the thing we conceive the idea of saving to a superlative degree. VVe acquire a haunted look and refuse to buy food and clothing Qexcepting bare necessiticsj, to say nothing of lux- uries all on account of the war. We hoard money, potatoes and other valu- ables. Things begin to tighten up. Young people under age for military service abandon plans for higher education, for economy's sake. It has been truly said that we are a nation of extremists. Do we ever stop to think that merchants, bankers and manufacturers must continue to trade and be patronized? Do we stop to consider that every dollar we store away in a woolen sock Cfiguratively speaking, of coursej nec- essitates that much less purchasing of stock for some storekeeper? Do we realize that the merchant's failure to purchase goods, means a slowing up of sales from the wholesale houses and ultimately a diminished production? Advices from VVashington urge that we keep affairs as normal as possible: to buy the things we are in the habit of purchasing and to do much as we would do under ordinary circumstances. To be sure, excessive expenditure is always unwise so why waste thought there? However to arrive at the real point of thisg that is, the point in connec- tion with the Annual. Rockford does not seem to have been afflicted very perceptably with this mania for economy. At any rate, owing to the mer- chants who have not succumbed to the war panic and the students of Rock- ford High School who are loyal subscribers for it, we have been able to pro- duce this book. Wfhether it will be considered a product of hysterical econ- omy or an expression of a normal attitude and patriotic forethought, will be judged without consultation of our wishes, but our aim if not our perfor- mance has been to publish an adequate record of Rockford High Schools best year.

Year by year, I have watched the little children pass through my portals. Always the same. They toddle up the gleaming paths, glance fearfully at me on my heights and pass through the yawning gates to their doom. Alas, I shall sleep for they are all the same, yea, all the same. No, it shall not be, for there, way down the gleam- ing paths, I see-No, I do not, I am but dreaming, but yes 'tis here, some- thing new comes up to the gate of knowledge. It is but a young thing but, ah, how full of color, how carefree. It passed through beneath me. At once I feel a commotion, a turmoil in my midst. I cannot sit brooding as of yore. I must notice and endure this youngster through his life, even through four long years. The years pass, each one with something great and big to be impressed on my brain forever. Ah, the infant now grown old has gone. Again can I brood and drouse the years away. But always on my brain shall remain the memory of that turbulent youngster. I did but hear a few days agone that mortals called it the Class of '17. VX7hat a name for such a youth- ful giant. Ah, well, I must drouse again. Other children may toddle within my gates but the Owl has spoken. Sane age language. Translation: Once upon a time a wise old bird sat on the peak of a certain temple of knowledge. This bird did gaze upon all that entered and did pass judgment upon them. The old bird took a nap one day and slept for quite a time. Class upon class waltzed, two-stepped, fox-trotted, one-stepped and toddled into the Gates Ajar, yet the old bird snoozed on. When the last group toddled in, he woke up. Big Ben was calling for fair. The old bird was startled and he peered over his entrenchments into the most austere cell of the institution. The ancient on the heights was truly startled. These youngsters are strange and different, he said, Some seem almost clever. XVhy they seem to be chewing gum and in defiance of my laws. Truly, this must be a mischievous assortment. The dust in the hollows of the stairs raised itself to the tread of little feet. Things happened. The babies did not only support but they backed things. They put through great deals in pennies. They proved marvels in scholarship-Ca few didj, they worked miracles in attendance Csome didj, they obeyed all laws fsevcral didj and most miraculous of all, they loved the fac- ulty Cone didj. Marvelous! The old bird nearly fell off his perch. when during the sec- ond year, the lads and la'ssies carried themselves with the tread of conquerors. The next two years, the high custodian was kept constantly alert. Hearts were broken daily underneath him and on one side a new shrine of the temple of knowledge had been constructed. From it he could hear the splashing of the care-free class. Ah, quoth he, 'tis but for once. Ah, only to be young again! XYith these words, the wise old bird fell sound asleep, never to wake again. john XVard, '17.

X Senior Class Day UR graduating seniors celebrated their last get-together party during their career at Rockford High School with a lawn party at the home of Miss Dorothea Nelson. VVhile the members of the class were assem- bling on the spacious lawn the band played several selections that were very much enjoyed. The entertainment consisted of a pageant of four acts. Each act in turn represented a year of our school life at Rockford High School beginning in story form with remembrances of our dazzling brilliancy of verdant hue: the Prom given by the upper classmen and other events, well known to many individual members of our Freshman year. The second act portrayed us as very Classy Sophs, and our sister class which gave the pageant. The Junior year, the third act, showed some of our good times in Pumpkin Ville at the time of the County Fair. The fourth act, the wonderful Senior Class in our scholarly and happy moods endeavoring to be worthy of our rank and position, setting a noble example for the unclerclassmen least they wan- der astray in the winding by-paths of our Halls of Fame. Amusements in form of dancing and full of fun games creating entertain- ments for all present prevailed during the intermissions between acts. Light refreshments were served and enjoyed by the merry throng so with the amusements offered the Seniors forgot for the time being that they soon were to separate perhaps forever--. It is hoped that another similar enjoyable party will bring us all together again when the class members return from war as sailors, soldiers, aviators or red-cross nurses, and join with the other members of the class who have become lawyers, merchants, physicians, house- wives or captains of industry.

X V if-r it I 'sl 1 l R .lust a Fairy Tale ONG, long ago, in a bright, sunny land, far over the seas, there once lived a beautiful princess. She was so beautiful that everyone all over the world knew of the wonderful princess. From every kingdom young princes came to the father's court to sue for her hand. But the beautiful princess was very, very young and she did not care to marry any of the young princes who came to the court of her father, the king. She was very happy, for everyone loved and admired her. Every day held something pleasant for her, and she had never known even the slightest bit of pain and sorrow. Then one day as her old nurse was helping her dress, something happened. The old, wrinkled-up nurse was helping her into a pretty gown, and as she was quite old she did not do it quite to the satisfaction of the princess. The princess was irritated and scolded her old nurse. This made the nurse very sad and she chided the princess for being so uncharitable. She told her that when the princess became old like herself, perhaps she would not be able to do every- thing just right herself. But the princess only laughed at the old nurse. Her warning impressed the princess however, and she could not get away from the thought that some time she, too, would be old and would lose all her beauty. This saddened the princess and she could not help weeping a little as she thought of the time when she would be old and all of her ad- mirers would be gone. For she was a vain little princess too. Oh! how I wish I could always be young and beautiful as I am now, she sobbed. Then suddenly from behind her a soft, sweet voice called to her. Sur- prised, the princess looked to see who the owner of the voice was. Behold, a wonderful little fairy stood before her. Little Princess, said the fairy, do not weep. for I have the power of granting you the wish which you just made. I will make you always as young and beautiful as you are now. And every- one will love and admire you always. And more, I will give you the power to keep any one you wish always young and beautiful. But if I do this you must promise never to marry. The young princess gladly promised, for she was so very, very young and she did not wish to marry anyone. The fairy fulfilled her promise and as the years rolled by the princess always remained young. She did not grow a mite less beautiful, but on the contrary seemed to become more and more beauti- ful every day. She was very happy, because everyone sang her praises, and people came from far-off lands to admire her beauty. Handsome princes came too, as before, to seek the princess in marriage, but she would have none of them. Then, more than a thousand years after her encounter with the fairy, the princess was walking one day through the soft grass of a beautiful green valley where Hocks upon flocks of sheep were grazing. Under a large tree she saw a beautiful shepherd boy fast asleep. And no sooner had she looked at him than her heart began to flutter for she knew that he was the only one she could ever love. And so she wished that he too would always remain as young and beautiful as she was now. Then the shepherd boy awoke and looked at the beautiful princess and he too knew that he loved her. The beautiful princess brought the shepherd boy with her to her court. Soon preparations were made for the marriage of the beautiful princess and Sixty-nine ..,.,. v W., -.... -- .. . - . -.-..---,,.

On the morning of her marriage she adorned herself in her beautiful bridal robes which made her look more beautiful than ever before. Then she went down into the beautifully decorated wedding hall to meet her shepherd. After the ceremony was performed the shepherd boy turned to look at his beautiful princess, and lo, she had vanished, and in her place stood an old, wrinkled-up, gray-haired woman. Then she, too, vanished and nothing was left except empty air. The shepherd called for his princess, but she never answered. Then he searched everywhere but she was nowhere to be found. And to this day it is said he is still seeking his beautiful princess in that bright sunny land far over the sea, for he can never grow old and he is doomed to live on forever without ever finding his princess.

Try- outs were held under the direction of Mr. Gishwiller and all those de- sirous of competing for a place on the cast, were given a chance to show their ability. After the cast had been picked and had learned their parts, the question of getting the Class .Play was decided by vote. Some time was given for thought and the question was again brought before the Seniors. Then this remarkable class demonstrated its loyalty and forethought by vot- ing to stick by and see the play put through. Rose of Plymouth Towne, as the '17 Class Play, owes its huge success, not only to the cast who labored morning and night to make the memory of the play one of a real success, nor to Mr. Gishwiller, who did all in his power and did it well, after many dis- couragements, but to the Senior Class as a whole for the support and enthu- siasm displayed. June 1-at the Grand Opera House of our city will stand out as a gala night not only in the present days of gayety-and war-but in the days to come, when the class of '17 will be recognized only as alumni and possibly will be forgotten!

Our fresh troop was organ- ized into Company F the last part of November, with Vincent Hull cap- tain, Howard White first lieutenant, Jean Floberg second lieutenant, and Francis Culhane orderly sergeant. Our first battle was waged with company Exams. and nearly all survived. Due to our brilliant showing at the beginning of our march, 200 more fresh recruits were enlisted into our ranks. Then with Shelly Gee, Manly Hult, Marjorie Haskins, and Gretta Tucker we marched on until we encountered our old enemy, the Sophomore company, in the Spring drive. We came out victorious and were advanced to Company S. Milton Olander, Arthur Squier, Margaret Knapp and Clea Savage were appointed to lead more to further victory. After marching five months without a struggle we were surprised while in the trenches by the Company of Exams-but victoriously repulsed the at- tack. Shelley Gee as captain, with the assisting officers, Jean Floberg, Mar- jorie Haskins, and Victor Thomas carried us successfully through the Junior Ranks. There, preparatory to the great siege, we encamped under the fol- lowing officers: Richard Mead, Ross Murray, Guy Buchanan, and Forest Lydon. Having won six difficult border skirmishes QExamsj the company, with their banner of green and white still stainless, marches on toward Fort Senior. K. L. VV. Seventy-four , I Fifi-j l 5-1, ... Z wifi-1:-itlaileafaffa we-H1-fa x l u-J-Lg.-5 - I The Don QQ AG, come here and fix this lock of hair. Do hurry! There, can't you hear the music? They are beginning already. Is my make-up all right ? I sat erect before my mirror, studying the rouge and paint dubiously. Was there anything wrong? My lips were perfect, because Madame De Luc had done them. My cheeks were certainly red enough and had had the last touch of powder. My eyelashes and eyebrows were quite dark enough. Yes, everything seemed in readiness even to my beauty mark, which was a sil- houette of my latest admirer. When I saw that all was right, I hastily snatched up my scarf and ran out behind the scenes. The manager looked me over, approved of me, and sent word to the cur- tain men that all was ready. I had done this dance often before, but tonight my heart fiuttered and my knees trembled. As far back as I could remember, I had always been on the stage doing U odd jobs, but about six months before that night I had made my debut as Miss Polly, the Fancy Dancer. i Tonight I was a southern girl. I was to dance with Percy Rex. I had l often danced with Percy and disliked him greatly because he was so effem- inate. I But tonight, just as I was to make my entrance, some one whispered for me to dance and dance until my partner came. He would be delayed a few minutes, but I was to keep up the bluff until he came. I went onto the stage and danced slowly to the front, and as I ran with i tiny steps backward I glanced at the sea of faces upturned to mine. I had often done this in order to see how my audience took me. Tonight I read dis- 2 appointment. I realized then that something was wrong. Either my partner ' L, was the whole show, as we called it. or some story had leaked out concern- 2 ing me. It was usually the latter and so tonight it was. I just then my partner entered. I danced demurely his way, but to my li astonishment it was not Percy but a handsome young man who immediately ll l took my hands and we danced toward the center of the stage. The audience seemed overjoyed and nearly deafened me with their applause. I smiled 1 sweetly and bowed right and left. Then, in a Hash, I realized the applause il J was not for me but for my partner. 'Q My face Hushed crimson with shame, while the crowd cheered and yelled. E The Don! The Don! Q g I glanced at my partner again.

Everyone loved The Don because he was not effeminate at all. y 'fCome, finish the dance, he whispered. i Happily I danced with him. In this dance I was a demure maiden Hitting coquettishly away from my lover. My heart beat furiously as I saw him come toward me. My feet became heavy. Faster, urged The Don. This stung me and I immediately flitted faster and faster. I was foolish 10 think that he would care. After the dance I ran hastily to my dressing room. No sooner inside than I heard a light tap on the door. As Mag was not there, I opened it -myself. There stood The Don with a long dark cloak over his shoulders. I asked him in a cold voice what he wanted. Now, Polly, he soothed, I came here just for you. Then he told me how he had once seen me dance. He had inquired about me. Finding I was an orphan and also that I knew nothing about my parents, he himself had looked into my past. He found that both my parents had been dancers on the stage. I did not hear much that followed. My heart beat faster and more wildly. , VVhy had he looked up my past? Did he care? And Polly dear, I found that you are my sister.

So when Margaret and I, this semester, were forced into sharing a locker, we found one great compensation in practising the qualities men- icioned above, and hence gained a splendid training for double blessedness ater on. In order to bring this to a very practical plane, Margaret and I pretended to marry each other, she becoming my wife. We commenced our new life in a locker 10x12 inches by 6 feet, with one shelf for twenty-one books, and two hooks, as our furnituregand a firm determination to cultivate matchless char- acters. Love prevented friction for several days, but soon we learned the truth of the statement that marriage doubles one's cares and inconveniences and halves his rights and privileges. Nevertheless, we strove desperately to be optimistic and patient. But one day I felt it really necessary to remonstrate with Margaret for keeping the locker in confusion with three unnecessary paint boxes, tangled bunches of string, numerous stubs of pencils without points, and half a dozen pens. These were constantly exhausting my patience, and try as I would, I could extract nothing humorous from finding only one gymnasium slipper hopeless- ly tangled as to strings when I ought to have been rushing up four flights of stairs to the gym, before the bell rang, or in having my arm scratched by three protruding pens at once, when I reached up to the shelf for my book. My wife, however, listened good naturedly to my storming, and replied that since we wanted to cultivate patience, these nuisances were just the things to foster that excellent virtue, and therefore should under no considera- tion be removed. Provoked that this woman's reasoning should have been superior to my masculine logic, I harped incessantly upon their removal, and finally used my husband's right to command obedience. So Margaret de- cided to compromise, by sacrificing one paint box, and bring a pencil bag to hold her beloved stubs, on condition that I would remove all the superfluous paper from my books. For, she complained, whenever I open the locker door a great shower of yellow paper settles all over the Hoor and I have to call upon the charity of everyone in the locker room to help pick it up before the tardy bell rings. The next tax on our slowly developing patience was finding ourselves re- duced to one locker key, which we clung to tenaciously and watched over with as much care as the proverbial hen does over her one chicken. The con- sequent difficulties of this unhappy circumstance can be too well imagined by the reader for me to go into painful details. Against these and numberless other domestic perplexities my dear little wife and I struggle valiantly to cultivate our characters. XVe succeed in many instances, mostly, I must confess, because of lXlargaret's sweet, composed na- ture, which somewhat offsets my more excitable temperament. One habit of lXlargaret's especially is a constant source of thankfulness to me, for it pre- vents me from confusing her property with mine. She, like Dickens' Tommy Twaddles, spends her spare time covering artistically her books, not with Twaddles skeletons. but with adorable fat little Kewpies. So when I take up Seventy-eight .X M PX f ,iff -13': f'T:f'ri-Fri Teri? Af. in r fi fir- X 11 , f, it - ,, Nb! , 'A J' ,, t .. .. - A.. , ... XI-, , .H .,. -- ef . 1 1 what I suppose is my Algebra and opening it find a little liewpie gleefully sliding down a 2x-y and another performing acrobatic feats on a few frac- tions, then I know that the book belongs to my wife. Thus we sail on, Margaret and I, upon our matrimonial sea, now, as a rule, quite calm and bright. Ilut occasionally a great rough wave will loom up and threaten to sink our little bark, despite all we can do. An account of our married life would be incomplete Without a description of one of these waves. It is a thawing, drizzly Monday morning, and I am splashing to school through slush and rain, remembering dismally that we left the locker in un- usual confusion on Friday, and also that it is my turn to clean up our domicile fmy sensible wife insists that doing my share of the housework is not un- manlyj. I catch sight of my wife running toward me and looking so capti- vatingly sweet under that umbrella that I forgot gloom and resolve on the spot never to scold her again, even if she should lose our one and only locker key. NVe reach the corner at the same time. Good morning, Eunice dear! cries my wife, entirely forgetting that I am her husband. I am wondering how on earth we will put our soaking umbrellas, rubbers, and raincoats, into the locker without ruining both our hats and our books. W'e're always being confronted with such unpleasant problems! I exclaim gloomily. Now if only Patience could be put to some practical use it might help us solve it. I have developed enough to last me a lifetime, I do believe. If only I had a newspaper to wrap my rubbers in, instead of the Sense of Humor I've so laboriously trained into my nature. In this optimistic frame of mind we enter the building and are slowly ascending the stairs when the warning bell sends us precipitately into the locker-room. Margaret puts her hand into her pocket, then stops suddenly and stares. The Key l she groans, leaning weakly against the locker and casting her eyes tragically to the ceiling. Margaret Murray! You haven't lost the last key we possess? I cry, searching frantically through her pockets myself. No, here it is, tied up in your handkerchief! ,Quickl We have only about three minutes left. I open the locker with a reckless jerk, forgetting how perilously balanced we left the books on Friday. I am instantly reminded by a sharp blow on my chin, arms and feet, as book after book falls in swift succession to the floor, together with my gymnasium slippers and Margaret's mirror, which is in- stantly smashed. Hastily trying to, determine which of the virtues in the process of cultivation will best suit the present occasion, I decide upon Pa- rience and Self-Possession, and summoning them to the front, stoop in a very collected manner to pick up the books. The first one I touch is Margaret's Ancient History. Patience flies to the winds. Margaret Murray! This is your Ancient History! VVhen will you learn to keep it where it belongs P Well, Eunice, replies Margaret quietly, it was your Physiology that broke my mirror. I picked up my offending Physiology, biting my lips in vexation as I see its broken corners and torn bindings, and Margaret gazes woefully at the roll of drawing paper which has been crushed in the downfall. Noticing, however, that the halls are empty, we hurriedly scramble every- thing back into the locker, umbrellas, rubbers, and lunch boxes repeatedly ... Seventy-nine tumbling out fat noon, I find that the point of my umbrella has pierced two sandwichesj. Then tearing off our coats, we both plunge toward the hooks at the same time. XVe see stars! Both of us open our mouths to explode with our no longer controllable wrath when the figure of our attendance deputy is seen in the doorway, excitedly beckoning us. One more mad plunge toward the locker, a loud bang of its door, a forcible snap to the lock. and we are dash- ing pell-mell into the room, Margaret howling as I try to extricate my buttons from her hair. The bell rings as we sink exhausted into our seats, fMargaret just be- coming aware that she is still wearing her hat and glovesj. I am exasperated and make up my mind that I will never go through another day of this locker sharing if I am expelled from school for rebelling. Glancing over at my poor little wife, I see she too, patient and long-suffering as she is, has reached the limit of her endurance. Ashamed to have her see how completely I have lost my temper, I turn away, open my book and for a moment glare, unseeing, at the page. Then, suddenly, I discover a ridiculous little Kewpie winking coquettishly at me from the corner of the page. He is irresistible! In spite of myself I smile back at him. Margaret, who has been fixedly watching my face for the slightest sign of relaxation, laughs also in infinite reliefg and we give each other a long look in which we wordlessly beg pardon for having been cross, and each assures the other that she is perfectly willing to continue our married life. Eunice Brady. Sophomore Class History Some are brilliant mentally, Others have physical renown, Plenty are good at almost anything Helping the world to go roun'. Once we were green and unheard of, Making ourselves seem quite small, Only now we have honor and glory Radiating fame, one and allg so Enjoy us now while we are with you. Sophomores have no time to stall, This much and more can be truthfully said of the remarkable progressive Sophomore class. For we truly were composed of stars, whose radiating and shining powers were as yet undiscovered by the conceited mortals above us. In a very short time we convinced the anxious teachers that we meant busi- ness, and that our exceeding greenness was but temporary. In our first year we established a firm and stable foundation, for we believed that a great deal depended upon our reputation as Freshmen. Incidentally, I might say that we were correct in our surmise. The second year, which we have just passed through, has brought to light our stellar members and shown the stuff of which we are made. We have proved that our class is composed of both mental and physical gymnasts who are only too willing to do all that is within their power to raise the standard of the Sophomore class of l9l9. Therefore, we feel that we are now fit to take up the absorbing duties of the junior class and take one more great step toward that goal for which we are all earnestly striving-success. VV. F., 'l9.

C. train to pull in. If you wish to know why, just ask them. . Each Friday we had an assembly. There was competition among the classes, so the programs were very interesting. The Victrola did its share, and gave us several beautiful Hawaiian pieces. Leta Voeks' piano solos and Caroline Gatti's readings helped a great deal toward making the assemblies a success. Another interesting one was a chalk talk by Thelma Lee. She took the time and expense to transport us down to the front where we saw our- selves as nurses, some in light artillery and others in squads. We all ap- preciated Thelma's generosity. At the close of Summer School a party was given by the Seniors. The party was to have been an outdoor affair, and the Harrison lawns were given over to this function. But in the afternoon heavy clouds came up and a very much needed rain followed, which kept up until late in the evening. We did the best we could, and came down to the old historic gym, which we trimmed effectively with lanterns, pennants and plants. In the evening when the lights were lit, the scene was very encouraging. The Victrola supplied music for dancing and games. It was a very democratic affair and everybody danced or enjoyed the games so the evening passed all too soon. Ices were partaken of with much pleasure. Every one spoke of the delightful time we had and wished that we could again attend Summer School and its gayety. The Class Play The Class Play at Summer School was one of the important events. The play was presented in the auditorium at the close of school, during the reg- ular assembly period. The composers, as well as the cast, were of the senior class. - The play consisted of the graduation exercises of Flunkem High School. The brightness of the scholars harmonized with the motto they chose. Motto ........ ....... ' 'Though bone is the dome. There's nobody home. Colors ...... ...................

History of R. H. S. Alumni Association T the annual meeting of the Rockford High School Alumni Association to be held this year, the association will have nearly completed its third decade. It held its first annual meeting in the parlors of the 1Vest- minster Church on june 25, 1888. At that meeting, the classes of 1885, 1886, 1887 and 1888 of the Central High School were present and formed an alumni association separate from those of the old East and West Side High Schools. E. W. Baker '85 presided as toastmaster and the officers elected for the en- suing year were Harry Sackett '87, President, Sadie Stothard '85 CMrs. C. T. Boswellj Vlice President, and Aurilla Holland '88 fMrs. C. D. Allenj Sec- retary and Treasurer. The following year the same officers were re-elected at the annual meeting in Unity Hall. ' During the next five years most of the annual meetings were held at Unity Hall, and in that period the workers in the association seem to include Frank Herrick, Lillian Storen, A. Phillip Smith, Robert Lathrop, Fred Car- penter and VVill jaycox. - In 1893, the alumni of the old East and VVest Side High Schools were admitted to the association and the following four years the annual meetings were held at the Central High School. Kate F. O'Connor, Dr. F. H. Kim- ball, Gertrude Scoville CMrs. W. W. Bennettj and Helen Witherell CMrs. Ray Trenholnij were all active in the growth and success of the Alumni As- sotiation. The annual meeting in 1898 was the first meeting in old Mendel- sohn Hall, where they were held regularly for the next ten years. That meet- ing was held while our country was at war with Spain and Capt. John H. Sheratt gave a patriotic talk, honoring theboys wholeft High School in the '60s to go to war. The 1917 meeting might well honor the boys that went to the Mexican border in 1916 and also the boys that are enlisting now to fight Germany in 1917. The records for the next few years show that Robert Rew our present Mayor, E. M. St. John, VVinnifred Gray, Mrs. Anna Vincent, VVebb Stevens, Robert Gibboney, XVilliam McPhail, Williaiii D. Knight, Elizabeth Corcoran, Florence Foster and Eleanor Lagerquist were faithful workers for the inter- ests of the association. In 1914, under the direction of Vifilliam D. Knight, President, a very complete catalogue of all the alumni was prepared and dis- tributed at the annual meeting of that year. Since 1908, the annual meetings have been held in ithe Auditorium and gymnasium of the High school, where the association each year welcomes over two hundred new members. The new athletic field, purchased during the past year, is receiving considerable financial assistance as a result of a campaign among the members of the association. From a small group of approximately fifty members at its beginning. to a membership of over three thousand, the association is destined to become a powerful force for good, not only in connection with the growth of the high school, but also in the de- velopment of this beautiful city.

The representa- tives chosen from the different study halls were as follows: Three boys and three girls from the Seniors, two boys and two girls from the .lun- iors from the Auditorium: four boys and four girls from each of the three remaining study halls-10, 12 and 2. The entire Council was divided into the Girls' and Boys' Councils. Miss Putnam was placed at the head of the Girls' Council and Mr. DuFrain at the head of the Boysf Each council met every other Tuesday at eight o'clock in the morning. Once in a while, spe- cial meetings of the entire Council were called. The officers of both Councils were elected at the first meetings. Frances Cutting was elected President and Miriam Cutler, the Secretary of the Girls' Council. Alba Spaulding was elected President and Cecil Danielson, Secre- tary of the Boys' Council. The Student Council, the Tliology and Agriculture clubs and classes had control of the survey of the vacant lots in Rockford. Each person was given a precinct in which to look up all vacant lots possible for gardening. The rent of each lot was also found out by each person, and all reports were turned in to Mr. Dillon who then gave them to the Chamber of Commerce. Ground, building, and lunch room committees were formed to discover what improvements were necessary in the High School. All things which were to be improved, were discussed by the Councils. There were. also, dis- cussions as to how these improvements might be taken care of. The usual questions of the students were, VVhat is the Student Council for? and NVhat is it going to do? These questions were soon answered, however. An assembly period was given over to the Student Council for the purpose of explaining. The boys and girls of the High School were separated into small groups. The girls of the Council spoke to different groups of girls while the boys spoke to the young men of High School. They explained all that the Council wished to do for still more improvements in the High School, to most interested student groups. As the Council had been organized for such a short time, it was impossi- ble for it to carry out the improvements which were thought to be necessary. Plans, however, were made to perform them during the summer vacation, so that the future Councils would have a firm foundation on which to better or- ganize our Rockford High School. M. C.

They have waged many a bloody battle with room teachers in order to secure the coveted admit to Room 17. The poor typewriter, rented for use but not for abuse, has been pounded to a frazzle by the tender indices of struggling, inexperienced, would-be sten- ographers. Paste brushes and paste, clippings, scissors and what not have lost for the desks of Room 17, whatever reputation for neatness they may have formerly possessed. If walls have ears, and they do have them sometimes, the not immacu- late wall of the combined editorial sanctum and the shipping department could tell a tale of committee meetings. late hours, and weary workers. The jokes Committee had a good time at the expense of others one night, when they lingered until five-thirty pasting and cutting out crazy pic- tures of illustrious landmarks and other marks of R. H. S., all the while laughing and talking about their fellow students. The work of the Art Staff of Ye Honorable Booke was sadly handicapped by the resignation of the Art Editor, Miss Thelma Lee. The Annual owes much of its appealing and fascinating beauty to the heroic efforts of Elmer Cook, the Art Editor, who nobly came to the front in the time of the Book's distress. For the aid of Miss Fleming, the Art Instructor in R. H. and for the help of Mr. Adolph Kreuter, cartoonist, the staff is profoundly grateful. NVhat would not the Volume and its Editor have suffered had it not been for the tireless energy and joyful industry of the Business Staff, commanded by Abner Armour, and his two lieutenants, Howard Anderson, and Dulfay Campbell? Maybe Marion would have been even thinner than she is now! Gentle reader, picture in your mind the beaming radiant faces of the following devoted martyrs, self-consecrated to the success of the book, work- ing without hope of recognition Cnow comes their rewardj : Edith Calamari. Ruth Anderson, Elva Olander, Doris Gunther, Linnea Ahalstrand, Freeman Burr, Anna Lindroth, Brainerd Trigg, Esther Boden, Rachel Foltz, Gladys Beach ,Elizabeth Freeman, Achilles Riddell, Mabel Hollenbeck, Helen Hill, Alice Leary and Jean Ross. ls it any wonder that the 1917 Annual is the best yet, when so many brilliant and promising young students have given of their precious and none-too-abundant gray matter to make the book suc- cessful? A Thanks to one and all this book is what it is! ! l N. B.-It is :mi the fault of the Rockford Printing Company that the book is out late! - - Lucile Cumming. '17, One Hundred ,H -'- N' W' tvur -Y- IC Hundred O Chorus of Rockford High School Et Al GCKFORD HIGH SCHOOL is certainly on the map , at least music- ally speaking. This was proved by Mr. Zook's chorus of 250 mixed Voices, which made its initial appearance on the evening of May 29th, in the Auditorium. The chorus presented two cantatas, May Day by Mac- Farren and The NVreck of the Hesperusf' Anderson. The incidental solos were taken exceedingly well by Dorothy Schulein, soprano, Oscar Dahlquist, tenor, and Howard Pearce, baritone. Miss Helen Pendergast presided at the piano, and helped niaterially in keeping up the interest of the chorus mein- bers at their two weekly practice periods on Mondays and Xllednesdays. At the concert. Mr. Harold Berg and Miss Lucile XVhite kindly assisted with two groups of songs. The applause of the school and city should he unstint- ingly given to Mr. Zook, who succeeded so very well in training the large chorus. The proceeds of the concert go toward the Grand piano fund.

With parliamentary drill firmly in hand, We are able to conduct a suffrage band. OOK among our members and you will find Accomplished girls of every description and kind. There are readers, writers, and some that compose, Others from their very finger tips, melody flows, F you linger you will hear The melodious voices which all will cheer. There are also actresses and some who can dance. A11d there are great minds among us if but given a chance, OLISH, in their talents, was artistically displayed When the Rainbow Kimona its appearance made. Also with the Philos and D-elphics we mingled i11 song, Joining their forces to entertain the assembled throng. LEASANT hours were passed in the Hallowe'en dance, Where pink lemonade our joys did enhance To sweet music, we danced 'till the darkness crept in And we were made to abandon the High School Gym. N Waltzinger's parlors, a luncheon was spread. Mrs. Born was the guest, she for three years was our head. With toasts and music, the hours passed away, Miss DeBord, as critic, will now guide our way. AN you imagine a club of such a size, That did not wish for a place to advertise? We combined our forces one and all And placed a bulletin in the hall. EALLY now, to us, 'twas a great surprise To have the Philos walk off with the prize. In the contests, in Which, we had tickets to sell, For the Lawrence Glee Club, which sang so well, OVV could you expect us to win the day? VVhen the Philos, to the girls, gave their tickets away. But cheer up, my friends, and persevere For the banner you'll win in another year. O come, sweet maids, and sign your names To till our places as we pass on to fame. It is with sorrow our connections with Philippic we sever, But its influences and teachings will remain with us forever. ' P. A. One Hundred Six g Philippic Literary Society Une illlll11l'8l1 S1-xc-11 The Philomatheon Society HE PHILOMATHEON LITERARY SOCIETY is now closing what has been, in many r-espects, the most successful year in its history. The society was organized six years ago by thirteen of the leaders of the various activities of high school life. The motto chosen was Efficiency, accuracy and dispatch, a precept which has always been faithfully kept in mind. Since its establishment, the society has advanced rapidly, and has become one of the leading organizations of the school. Members are chosen carefully, those fellows being selected who are responsible, upright, enthusiastic, and serious in their work, fellows who are worthy of the honor of being Philos. ' Philo is too well known and Philo prestige too thoroughly established to require an extended retrospection. Meetings are held every Tuesday night at seven-thirty in Room 60, The programs are always of high literary worth, although liberally interspersed with humorous selections and musical num- bers. After each 'program a business meeting is held, in which the members obtain drill in parliamentary procedure. One of the aims of the society is to develop men along literary lines, and to fit them for leadership in the various branches of school activities. This year Philo has an unusually large and representative membership. Philo numbers the class president, the editor and business manager of the Owl, the business manager of the Annual, and his assistants, the president of the Glee Club, many men prominent in athlet- ics. and several in oratory and debate. The society has also adopted a broader outlook toward the school. Philo, in unison with Delphic and Philippic, brought the Lawrence Glee Club here in March for a concert in the Audi- torium, the proceeds being donated to the school toward purchase of a grand piano for the Auditorium. Social gatherings are occasionally enjoyed, such as the annual banquet and the picnic. The banquet this year was a distinct success. The banquet hall at lValtzinger's was appropriately decorated with a huge P in electric lights, and the tables were strewn with roses. Many alumni were in attend- ance to enjoy the splendid supper and the program and dancing that fol- lowed. Although the club will be handicapped next year by the graduation of many of its present active members, the outlook for the future is very prom- ising. The society will undoubtedly accomplish bigger and better things than ever before to honor the name of Philo. R. G., '11, One Hundred Eight -E E .... K.lEJdl!'l llihlllllfl S '1- The Delphic Society UNSIDERING its comparatively short existence, the Delphic Literary Society has proved a joyful success during the past year. A year ago. at this time. a little doubt was entertained among the members as to whether or not the society would gain a place as one of the leading organiza- tions in school. But, then last fall, with the incoming of a full membership and a revival of spirit, the society started anew. and now it is an established fact that the Delphic has come to stay. The society made its initial appearance before the public in the presenta- tion of a short mock trial as its share of a program given by the two boys' literary organizations, in assembly. The trial was carried through in a snap- py, humorous manner and proved quite a boom forthe society. Later on in the season, the debating teams of the Philos and the Delph- ics argued the Phillipine question. The result was a tie, as both aifirmative teams won. Add to this the fact that the high school debating teams were composed of three Philo men and three Delphic men, and it would seem that the two societies are evenly matched as to debating ability. However. the club has not confined itself to work, and its members have enjoyed several social gatherings. In the first of the year, the Delphics mo- tored to a spot on the banks of the Kishwaukee River, where a wild and Wooly time was enjoyed by all present. The main attraction of course was the heats. ' The grand social success of the year was the first annual banquet, held in December. The affair ran off very smoothly, affording every one a pleasant evening and served to establish a fair precedent for future functions of the kind. The Delphic will lose a number of its members through graduation this year, but there is plenty of good undergraduate material in the club, which under the direction of M r. Hanna, who is ever working for the interests of his proteges. will undoubtedly establish the Delphics as a foremost society in the Rockford High School. T V C '17 . ., . One Hundred Ten .4 ,T 1 -1 .4 fr -. 'I 'I Bi J 1. 1 Debating HIC Rockford High School debating team has set a mark the past year which has not been equalled for a long time, both teams winning. lly virtue of the double victory the championship of the Triangular Debating League was brought to Rockford. The debate was held on the evening of llecember 15. The subject for debate was: Resolved, That the policy of the United States toward the Phil- lipine Islands should be one of permanent retention. The main issues were whether the Lv. S. had a moral right to permanently retain the l'hillipine Islands, and whether or not it would benefit the Lf S. from an economical and military standpoint. The negative team defeated F. Aurora by a unanimous decision. Too much credit cannot be given them, for in addition to winning they were the only team in the triangle, upholding that side of the question who received a unanimous decision. The Rockford affirmative team met La Grange on our own platform. After a very sharply contested debate the judges awarded the decision to Rockford by a vote of 2 to 1. The debating team was composed of the following men: Affirmative Negative Howard Anderson Carl Swenson Harry Stockwell teaptj Merle Rider Dewey Lundquist Stanley Xewburg' tCapt.j Too much cannot be said in recognition of the good work done by the coach, Mr. ID. S. tiishwiller. lfrom the time the subject for debate was chosen until the final stop for time was called he was working either with the team or on the subject itself. XYith Mr. tiishwiller as coach the successful future of the R. ll. S. debating teams is assured. 4 Roekford High School Debating Teams Une Hundred Twelve The Camera Club S .Xbe says: The dark room is a wonderful place for development. l'nder the leadership of lchabod Squier, the Rockford High School Camera Club spent a very successful semester in individual experimental work. .-X number of new members spent much time and energy in the funda- mental steps of elementary photography. The Club has not participated in the commercial work as it did in the preceding year, but many more of its members know a great deal about photography. lYheu the president was absent, Miss lflorence Floden showed her execu- tive ability and pleased everyone in the way she carried on the meetings. XYith llelen Cornell's minutes, llauer Radcliffe's pleas for finances, and the many snappy programs, there was plenty of excitement and interest in the meetings. During the sunnuer, the club took a number of successful hikes. The memory of one of these, especially, a trip to the .lnlian cottage about seven miles south on the river road, will remain in the minds of all the members. The long school hours greatly diminished the number of hikes in the first semester, so a number of indoor meetings were held at the homes of the vari- ous club members. .Xu enjoyable evening was spent at lflizabeth Snow's residence on North Court Street. A Dutch luncheon was served about six and the chilly evening spent in roasting marshmallows before a roaring grate lint as soon as the days began to grow longer, the Camera-ites were seized with a desire to experience the delights of picnicking,and the hikes be- came more frequent. The attendance was increased, so that hiking proved quite a benefit to the club membership. However, many of these happenings would never have come to pass had it not been for the club's enthusiastic critic, Miss Mclivoy. She has devoted much of her time to it and a great deal of credit is due to her for the success of the club. The work of this last semester was finished under the guidance of Xlr. lfrzuikenluirg as president. lle was firmly backed by the members and his co- workers, Yice-l'resident Martin, Secretary lflliott and Treasurer Hayes These people carried out the work excellently until the end of the year. May the good work continue in 1913. 13. In '17. The Camera Club Une Hundred Thirteen Girls' Glee Club XOTHER year in the history of the Rockford High School Girls' Glee Club has passed.

This party was held in the club's room, which was decorated appropriately. llecause of the scarcity of members the biggest affair this past year was the banquet and not the concert. This was held at VValtzinger's just after the holidays. A unique program was given and every one took part in sec- tions of it. Dancing was enjoyed by those who wished it. Program 1.

It was our purpose in organizing to form a club wherein we could dis- cuss topics of agricultural interest, as well as to increase our knowledge of modern methods and improvements in farming. Already we have made con- siderable progress and are still pushing, but it is due to Mr. Mathews, chief critic, that we can look upon the past year and pronounce it successful. lVe have enjoyed many interesting features the foregoing term, including educational programs, visits to various industries related to agriculture, and lectures by prominent men. In January we went to Chicago to attend the International Live Stock Exposition. It was during the club's short stay in the city that we also enjoyed the privilege of being shown through Armour's Packing Plant, besides taking in Lincoln Park, the Art Institute, University Grounds, and Field Museum. Upon finding how much valuable information and pleasure was to be derived from such a pilgrimage, it was decided to have one annually and now it is probable that next year the National Dairy Show at VVaterloo, Iowa, will be honored with our attendance. Another stellar at- traction of the bygone year, was our first annual banquet. It was a success enjoyed by every member and his fair companion. The bill of fare and enter- tainment were excellent. Senior members gracefully tendered farewell ad- dresses expressing regret at leaving the good old UR. H. S. 'Tis needless to mention the applause they received. In regard to our future, consult any member. NVe are here to show loy- alty to our high school: and to put agriculture on the high school map, as well as to put the Rockford High School on the agriculture map.

Treasurer In February, the club felt very keenly the loss of its president, but when Marion XVinn was elected to fill the vacancy the club regained much of its former enthusiasm. ts A series of very interesting meetings have been held, in which the live questions in connection with economical housekeeping were closely re- viewed. Some of the important subjects under discussion were food economy, buying of textiles, interior decoration, home nursing, diet in disease, and labor-saving devices. 1 At some of these meetings, refreshments, prepared by the members. have been served. One of the important gatherings was held in lllarch, to which all of the mothers of the girls were invited. As soon as the weather permit- ted, the meetings were held out of doors. Aside from doing the members a great deal of good and spreading the cause of household improvement in the community. the club has accomplished its social purpose which is so greatly needed in a large high school.

It is the Art Club which was organized in September, l9l,6. Immediate enthusiasm was shown and large attendances have been at the meetings. This organization has a dual purpose, to promote art among the students and to afford the much needed amusement connected with school life. At an early meeting the fol- lowing officers were elected: President .... ....... l iarl Noble Secretary .... .............. ll florton Bliss Treasurer ...... .................. ............. D o rothy Sherman The Art Club has fulfilled its purpose. It has held some inspiring pro- grams, several parties, and a few hikes. The bacon-bat at Sinnissippi, the Hal- lowe'en party, Christmas play and dance, the mock wedding, the Easter party and the hike to Black-Hawk, were all enjoyed by the groups that participated in these. No one can imagine what a fine party the Art room can be converted into until he has attended one of the Art Club parties held there. Upon every oc- casion it was decorated with the colors of the season. Music, dancing, games and eats went to make every party a good one. The Club finished the year with a tennis tournament and the last meet- ing was held in the Auditorium. At this meeting we listened to an illustrated talk on Pictures in the Metropolitan llfluseumf' As a gift to the Art Room the Art Club of 1916-17 purchased a fine pro- duction of By the Riverf, by Henri Derolle, the original of which hangs in the Fine Arts Museum at Boston.

A Boys' Glee Club INCE its organization in 1914 the Glee Club has never experienced a busier season than the one just past. Lengthened school hours cut short the rehearsal periods, necessitating most intense application. Neverthe- less. diligence has manifested itself in the high degree of finish displayed in numerous concerts. The success of former years was, if possible. improved upon in appear- ances at XYinnebago, Argyle, and Seward. The Club gave an additional con- cert at Rockford in the Court Street Church which was well received. An unbroken record was maintained by carrying away honors in the Nay lfesti- val for the fourth consecutive time. The crowning event of the year was the annual home concert. lf any doubts had previously existed as to the worth of new talent added to the or- ganization, it was dispelled at the outset by the Estudiantina. which was given with spirit and enthusiastically applauded. The wierclly beautiful Bedouin Love Song, and Believe Me, lf All Those Endearing Young Charms were at once adelight to lovers of clear-cut harmony and intelligent expression. A sea group was made impressive by a strong bass section which gave the necessary surging, billowy effect. Altogether, the perform- ance was one worthy of any college organization. Attractive individual work added much to the program of the season Rothwell Gregg made a decided hit with his reading, The Hazing of Valiant. An original Indian composition, 'fLost, by Merle Rider, also called forth ap- preciation. Possibilities were revealed in the work of Ralph Dennis. who, though a freshman, has a full and pleasing natural voice. The future of the Glee Club is assured by the large number of under- classmen. A painstaking and talented director in the person of Mr. Zook, backed by an able accompanist and an enthusiastic membership is a com- bination which must make for the success of next year's organization.

Band, 1916-1917 HIS season the band has been a most successful organization. In spite of a poor start, due to the fact that several members did not return to high school as they had planned to do, the band has given.good service throughout the year. The members have done their share toward building' up a good school spirit and merit the success they have met. It takes long hours, and many, to serve the school in the capacity of a band member. Not only are the boys busy at home for the individual practice necessary to learn their instruments and at two weekly rehearsals of two hours each, but they are called upon for many of the special occasions at school and elsewhere. Add to this the attendance at all football and basket- ball games, and all will agree that the band stands for loyalty to Rockford High School. A The band played at: The home-coming of the boys The dedication services by D. A. R. from the border. at XVest Side Cemetery. All football and basketball games. The animal concerts March 16 and 17. The patriotic parade April 7. ' Many rallies for athletics. The basketball tournament. The La Grange-Rockford debate. The Spring Festival' Some of the drills and reviews of the The annual band assembly' cadets. The special music assembly. The most important change in the equipment in the history of the band occurred when Nr. George D. Roper presented the band with military capes. made of the regulation red and black of the band's uniform, with a special suit for the drum major. In appreciation of the gift the band voted Mr. Roper the only honorary membership ever issued. To perfect the general appear-- ance black leather puttecs were added, the band paying for them from its own treasury. Plans have been put under way to provide the band with uniforms to match those of the cadets. From the standpoint of service, appearance and loyalty, Rockford High School Iiand ranks with the best high school bands in the country, and it is hinted, by our loyal supporters of R. H. S. activities, that it stands high in comparison with many of the college bands of the country. The standards set by this year's band will stimulate the undergraduates to renewed efforts for the band of 1917 and 1918 that they may merit the con- tinued support of the student body of R. H. S. and the citizens of Rockford. One Hundred Twenty-five :ckfurd High Sc 1001 Band .- R1 1'lCCK DIA J- 'Clarence Carlson OISUE- 'Rodney Cummings CLARINETS- 'Raymond M cNeany. Sec.

Having defeated the two Chicago teams, Crane and Lane Technical, the team travelled to Freeport, only to meet a 40 to 14 defeat before a large num- ber of Rockford rooters. ln the next contest Rochelle was defeated by a score of 7 to O, and on the following week Elgin was held to a 14 to 14 tie. ln the next game, the come-back ability brought out by our never-tiring coach, Mr. Winters, was displayed in the defeat of West Aurora by a score of 7 to 0, on the local gridiron. Before a crowd of two thousand spectators, the heavy visitors were held scoreless in one of the most crucial contests staged in Rockford. The following game with East High resulted in another defeat for the Red and Black. The locals gave a good scrap and would have won had it not been for the misleading similarity of jerseys. In the next contest the results of overtraining and staleness showed their effect on most of the players. Struggling against a heavier team and against their own physical condition, the locals went down to another defeat at the hands of Joliet eleven by a score of Z6 to 20. The following game showeda great improvement in the work of the players, and they were worthy of their 25 to O shut-out over Sterling. Again Coach Wiiiters showed his ability to create grit and determination in his ' la ers. IJ Y The team journeyed to DeKalb and trounced the latter eleven in a cold and bitter combat. The chilly atmosphere prevented star playing by either team and necessitated the use of gloves to keep the players' hands warm. which of course aided materially in the better handling of the ball. The score was 34 to 0 at the end of the ga-me. In the final game of the season the Red and Black carried away the honors of victory on Thanksgiving Day. Before a record breaking crowd of en- thusiastic rooters the locals broke the hoodoo of defeat which has overshad- owed the Turkey Day games since 1913, and got away with a score of 12 to 7 over the strong Decatur aggregation. From these results it is quite evident that the local team, under the won- derful leadership of Milton Ollander, represented the Rockford High School as well as any other former team has done. However, Dame Fortune seemed to be against them, for in several of their defeats they really outplayed their opponents, but the winners were in luck and scored the greatest number of points. Even if they were unlucky, the locals presented a wonderful team, and at least three of the players were picked by critics on all-star teams. One Hundred Thirty meal Heqwuj 1qSga,w.i.xe.aH Never before in the history of R. H. S. has a foot- ball team been captained by such a wonderful player as Milton Olancler. As a leader he is unsurpassed, as an all-around player he is without superior. His won- derful insight and knowledge of the game enabled him to fathom the most complicated plays and he was in on every one of them. On the defensive he was un- equalled, and as an aggressive player he excelled, be- ing exceptionally brilliant in bringing down forward passes. His selection as captain of the All-Star team is not too great an honor for such a wonderful field leader, and for one more season his leadership will be warmly welcomed by his team-mates and the school as a whole. At the beginning of the football season Shelley Gee was given a trial at the quarter-back position. He improved steadily, playing a splendid offensive game against Freeport, tieing the Elgin game by a touch-down, and racing 40 yards for the winning score in the Vwlest High combat. As a reward for his consistent work, his sensational dashes, and the fact that he scored more points than any other player of the conference. he was honored by critics as a mem- ber of the All-Star conference eleven. VVith two sea- sons before him he has prospects of developing into one of the greatest football men of the state. Q One Hundred Thirty-tu l lt was seldom that the opponents broke through the line if Somers was in his place at right guard, for his 160 pounds gave him the resisting power of a stone wall. liven the sight of him in the line made the op- ponents shudder, and rather than take chances of being laid out they usually avoided him. Not only was he a good defensive player, but was also capable of plunging through the opponents' line and breaking up the plays in their formation. To End a successor capable of filling his shoes will be no easy task. Right half was held down by Howard Redin, and his brilliant work indicates that he was well fitted for the position. XVhenever his number was called he usually plunged through the line like a bullet, making great gains and leaving the majority of the opponents + i 1 s strewn on the ground behind him. Some of the play- ers had the advantage over Shorty in height, but this was made up by his speed and determination to do his best. He was considered by many critics as one of the best half-backs in the circuit and picked by some as a member of the All-State team. To Charles Fearn was given the task of starting the game, that mighty right leg of his giving him the distinction of being the best kicker on the team, and it was very seldom that the kick-oil went wrong. Kicking was his specialty and his confidence made it possible for the team to forge its way to victory at the most critical stages of the game. In addition to this, his plunging ability made his dashes most al- ways result in long gains. Un Hundred Thirty-three i I il I 1. 1 l l i I ' i ' l il il l l r i Harry Englund promises to be a great athlete, 'not only in football but in other sports as well. It is sel- dom that a Freshman is capable of going out the first year and of developing into such a brilliant player as Fat Englund. Although a good all-around player, he was usually found at end, which position he held down with the greatest ability. He was capable of overtaking the Heetest opponents. NVith three years of service before him he should develop into one of the greatest ends in the history of the school. Probably the sturdiest Freshman on the team was Harold Shores, who usually played at end where he proved to be a demon. His great Weight and height made it possible for him to buck into the biggest player with the assurance that the opponent would receive the worst of the collision. NVhether it was in running down the opposition or in circling the ends for long gains, Shores certainly showed class. VVith him and 'Tat' Englund on the team next year the end positions will undoubtedly be well filled. One Hundred Thirty-f f- ' H ' ' ' ln' ,,, ,, -W, , ,' , l . One of the heaviest, and the tallest man on the team was Henry Reitsch, who displayed exceptional ability at his position at center. He was well fitted for the position, his great height and long arms giving him all the qualities of a good pivot man and when he was in his position the ball was in play long before the opponents realized that the final signal had been called. His great build gave him the distinction of being one of the best centers and he was also a good tacklcr. One of the mainstays of the team was Chub Spaulding, famous for his ability to plow through the enemies' line and no matter how big and husky the opponents were, it was customary for him to hit 'em hard and leave them scattered on the ground behind him. VVoe to the one who dared to get in his way, for it was almost the same as trying to stop an Eng- lish 'Atankf' It was his grit and determination to get ahead that won for him the honor of being one of the best backiield men on the squad and his absence next year will be a severe blow to the team. One Hundred Thirtysfive Glenn Ralston was usually found at left end for which position he showed his worth and capability in the way he brought down forward passes and circled the opposite ends for long gains. Both his offensive and defensive work were of the highest quality, as he was capable not only of clever work on the aggressive but also of upsetting the opponents' plays by rushing in before the play was complete or otherwise running down the would-be point maker when almost at the goal, holding the rooters in suspense lest the opponent should score before he had a chance to dive for his legs. There was probably not a speedier 1112111 on the squad than Lawrence NValquist, who held down his position at left half with exceptional ability. He was always ready to take the ball when his number was called and he seldom fumbled. His favorite play was the end run which invariably resulted in long gains. For his wonderful showing in the backfield he was picked as half-back on the All-Star teams. Although a Senior, it is hoped that he will be back on the grid- iron next year. One Hundred Thirty-si f f I ifffw' 'M' -Q ff' mf'-'1f '4fZ4,, 'R 7-1 Q X One of the men who has worked hardest for his R is Freeman llurr, who. although not a veteran of the First team, has stuck to the game from the very be- ginning but for some reason or other has not been able to make the first squad. Last season, however, his efforts were crowned with success, as he held down the position at left guard with the ability of a pro- fessional and for his services was awarded the mucl. sought R, He was a player who put all his energy into the game and was never found sleeping at his post. ?tiT..'7f7'f ' - W-777773: A-ii 'N at f ,i gxx XX llaker, one of the best all-around athletes in high school, displayed exceptional ability at end, his speed and cleverness giving him the honor of being one of the best men in bringing down forward passes. XYhen- ever the ball came flying through the air somewhere near him, it was a sure bet that Bake would bring it down, and a fumble by him was very unusual. Al- though a demon at the offensive, his work at defense was also worthy of praise, his fleetness enabling him to get his arms around the legs of any runner who dared to come his way. ie Hundred Thirtyssewen 1 ,,. v.-,r ,-,,,,- xi .. ,W . ,NM-.NX 'xx-. I -.5 .X The greatest possibilities for the team lie in the Freshmen and probably the most prominent of these is 'Joe Carlson. His previous experience before enter- ing high school was a great aid in bringing to him the honor of being a letter man. At his position at center he was in on every play, and his ability to feed the ball to the quarter back at the proper time was a great factor in the successful carrying out of the plays. He will undoubtedly be a whale at the pivot position next year. Although there was a scarclty of good tacklers, Glenn Smith was a man whose ability was as great as or greater than that of any other tackle in the whole circuit. His great stature made it possible for him to break through the opponents' line and when Gunboat was around the runner's chances of getting away were about as slim as those of a mouse trying to get away from a cat. He was quick at fathoming the plays and usually reasoned them out correctly, running in on them long before they were completed. One Hundred Thirty-eight if.

Out of the eight games played during the whole season they won five by generous mar- gins, a rather good showing for a bunch of practically inexperienced men. Even if the record was not as good as it might have been there were cer- tainly a great number of promising players turned out by Coach lleyer, and with such a bunch of men, together with the first team veterans, the Rockford High School should turn out a team in the fall far better than any in the his- tory of the school. Twelve of the players were awarded emblems for their efficient service on the Held, namely: Captain Blomberg, Achilles Ridell. Malcolm Bolling, Ralph Trank, Rupert Mapes, Arthur Squier, Lee Dildine, Cecil VVilliams, Cy Danielson, 'fHap Powell, Hurley Carlson and Max Sweeney. Among these there are two who will be missing from the ranks next season, Dildine and Bolling being Seniors and expecting to graduate with the class of '17, Dildine was probably the best lineman on the squad, being selected by critics as guard on the All-Star lightweight team. One of the speediest backfield men was Bolling. Their loss will be felt severely by the team. The rest of the players on the lightweight squad have from one to three years' service left. Not only is there a wealth of material in the lightweight squad, but there are a number of men who were ineligible for service last season who will be back in the fall. They are Fuller, Larson, and Pearce, all capable football men. In this great number of men lies the nucleus of the strongest eleven in Illinois, and with the support of the school the coaches will undoubtedly develop a team capable of representing the Rockford High School better than ever before. One Hundred Forty 7 1: 2 r Uv! Hww'--1 IU-vvx11 -32 W ggi --'fi 1 V. .k,LL .--. -.--.f The R. H. S. Golf Club HE year 1916-1917 has proved that golf is becoming a leading activity at Rockford High School. The membership of the second year reached a number of more than forty, the enthusiasts being recruited from all four classes and the faculty. The spring tourneys of 1916 ended as follows: Scratch Championship, won by Louisllanforth, D. C. Sprague, runner-upg three up and one to play in thirty-six holes. H. H. Cutting Spring Handicap: won by Raymond Pur- inton, Louis Danforth, runner-upg thirty-six holes. Fall play was begun with a medal play event. The following received prizes: Douglas Craine, fnow of U.. Navyj, firstg Bowman, Swenson, Miller, Sprague, l'urinton, Beyer, Sabin, and Golden. The next event, due to the generosity of H. H. Cutting 81 Son, was the Handicap Fall Tournament, the finals D. C. Sprague won a match with Plurinton by the narrow margin of from Sept. 16, to October 4. Craine and Swenson were semi-finalists, and in one stroke on the last hole. The winner received a gold knife and the runner- up a mid-iron. The last tournament was also a handicap allfair and ended on Thanksgiving Day-D. C. Sprague won this from Adelbert Miller. The spring of 1917 was signalized in the golf club by two events. First a medal play event was staged, May 1-7. On this play as a basis, handicaps were arranged for the H. H. Cutting Spring Handicap Tourney. The prize was a fine club or bag. The club appreciates very much the generosity of all donors of prizes, but especially Mr. Cutting's encouragement, which has been voluntarily extended from the beginning of the Club's existence. In all, he has given prizes to five tournaments of the club. The play in the Cutting Trophy Tournament has reached the finals: at the time of our going to press, Hurley Carlson is matched against Beryl Bur- gett. It is hard to predict more than a hard-fought battle. Luck to the win- ner and to the runner-up! Ray Pnrinton, '17. One Hundred Forty-three J.,- . i Y- ---A A- .S .5 N, ,f as Heavyweight Basketball Team HE last week in November the first call was issued for basketball candi- dates. The majority of them were lower classmen and a few upper class- men who had not been out for football. After Thanksgiving several foot- ball men reported, but most of them took a short rest before taking up another strenuous season. On December 16. Rockford played the first game of the season with Mount Morris. Rockford showed lack of practice in every department of the game: the passing was poor and the basket shooting was just as bad. The Mount Morris team had been in action on the basketball floor for some time. The final score was, Mount Morris 31 and Rockford 13. Cn December 22, the R. H. S. flve easily won from Sterling by a score of 22 to 10. The team showed unexpected form, both on the fioor and at the basket. Rockford scored 14 points to Sterlingls 6 points in the first half, and in the second period the Red and Black added '8 points to its own score, hold- ing its opponents to two lone baskets. A week later the annual Alumni game was played. This was one of the most exciting contests seen on the local floor. The game, at the end of the regular time, was a tie, 15-to 15. Two five-minute overtime periods were nec- essary to decide the game. ln the last five-minute period the Alumni scored 6 to the High School's 1, point, leaving the final score 21 to 16. The Alumni team was composed of Johnson, Marsh, Cotta. and Ostrom of the 1916 dis- trict championship five and Daley and Asprooth. ' January 6th the Janesville five were their opponents. Rockford won very' easily, although the showing of the team was unsatisfactory as it lacked the proper amount of pep On January 12, Rockford played their first Conference game, and lost by the narrow margin of 27 to 25. The contest was hot from start to finish. The half closed with the score Rockford 12 and DeKalb 10. In the final quarter the Red and Black again took the lead with 23 points to DeKalb,s 16. The visitors caged a couple of long shots which brought them within 2 points Just as the timekeeper was ready to blow his whistle, Garner of DeKalb threw another basket. tieing the score. In the five minutes overtime DeKalb made four points to Rockford's two. Playing at Joliet the next Friday, the Red and Black went down to 26 to 18 defeat. Joliet took an early lead and never was headed, although the game was by no means a runaway affair. , January 26, Rockford broke into the winning column in the conference standing by defeating East Aurora by the score of 44 to 6. A new combina- k . . One Hundred Forty-four - IJ 1 4 1 f Q Ti .- F 7 Z' :Z -E :E tion was used in this game, which was by far the best of the season. It was made up of NValquist and Parsons, forwards, Revells center, Olander and Ralston guards. The following week Rockford journeyed to NVest Aurora, where they de- feated that Hve by the score of 30 to 15. In spite of many handicaps. the Rockford team played better than ever before this season. On a smaller floor than its own, the Rockford team got an early start and ran the Aurora players 1-ff their feet. The next night, February 4th, the team defeated Belvidere five by 2 points. The score was Z0 to 18. The team was tired out by its trip to Aurora on Friday night, and the playing was slower than usual. On the Hoor the teams were evenly matched, but Rockford had the best of it at the guarding game. February 9th, Rockford played at Elgin. The Hnal count was 21 to 10 in favor of Rockford. The contest was hotly fought at every stage of the game. On February 16 the gymnasium was crowded to its capacity with excited fans to see Rockford and its old rival, Freeport, play. The Pretzels got off to a good start and had accumulated 5 points before Rockford scored. At the half the score was 16 to 11, with Freeport at the long end. Ir. the second half Rockford forced the fighting a little more and in the fourth quarter crawled up within one point of the Orange and Black, 20 to 19. During the last five minutes Freeport managed to regain its 5 point lead again and the game ended with the score 25 to 20. HEAVYVVEIGHT RECORD Rockford 13 .......... ........ ll fft.

The Rockford quintet had a poor start and Belvidere soon had a long lead, the score at the half being 14 to 6. At the beginning of the second half a new combination was tried. Parsons went to center, Walqiiist and Anderson, were placed at guard and Powell and Baker at forward. This combination hit its stride and in five minutes had tied the score at 19. During the half R. H. S. team made 26 points against Belvidere's 5 points. On January 12, Rockford romped away with DeKalb. The final score was 69 to 8. The DeKalb team scored one basket in each half and with 4 free throws made a total of 8 points. Playing at Joliet the next week, Rockford found that team an easy vic- tim. The Prison City team never had a chance, and was buried by a score of 50 to 13. The game with East Aurora was a runaway affair for Rockford. NVhen the half ended the score stood 22 to 2. The red and black rolled up 15 more points in the second half while Aurora made 4 points. The Lightweights made it Eve straight Wins with the game at VVest Au- rora. They started out strong from the very first and were not in danger any of the time. The final score was 29 to 14. The next night Rockford again defeated the Belvidere Seconds. The game was a walk-away from the very first. Rockford 45, Belvidere 20. February 9th, Rockford met its first defeat of the season at Elgin. The final score was 22 to 13. The Red and Black combination was broken up be- cause both Walqiiist and Plarsons were over the weight limit and could not play. This defeat left Freeport in first place in the Lightweight division of the conference. The game with Freeport on February 16th was the last of the conference games and also the last game before the tournament. During the first quarter the team did not hit its stride, but after that the play was fast and furious. At the half the score was 11 to ll. In the third quarter Freeport forged two points ahead. Beginning with the final quarter Freeport was compelled to put in two of its first string forwards, Biersach and Mulnix, and this cinched the game in their favor. VVhen the whistle blew Freeport was ahead by 4 points. The score was 28 to 24. Scores Rockford 69 ,.....,,. ..... D elialb 8 Rockford 29 ........ ....... N V.

They added 45 points to Rockford's score while Galena was making 3 points. Saturday morning Rockford and Freeport met. The game was close and exciting from start to Finish, and although defeated, Rockford played great hall. The Red and Black had the lead for a good share of the first half. They came back strong in the second period and toward the middle were one point behind. The team fought gamely every minute of the time, but superior team- work and experience of the Orange and Black were too much to overcome. The Final score was 31 to 22.

A. C. There was much conjecture as to what the mysterious ini- tials could mean, but no one seemed to know exactly. Suddenly, the secret was out, and it was learned that G. A. C. meant Girls' Athletic Club. All the girls in school seemed to be affected by the new movement. Each young lady who had heretofore appeared only in a much befrilled dress, wearing her hair in an ornate coiffure, and high-heeled shoes, now was seen wearing a simple skirt and middy, with low-heeled shoes and her hair done in a simple braid. Business men noticed the change and some one in the gym. was kept busy answering their inquiries concerning the new organization. Every one was interested and the other girls followed the example of the members of the club in regard to their clothing. Fussyness became a lost art, athletics were boosted and much of the snobbishness in the school was obliterated. A constitution was written and later revised. It now reads as follows: ARTICLE I. Name of this club shall be Gir1s Ath1etic Club of Rockford High School. ARTICLE ll. The object of this club shall be to promote a feeling of friendliness among all the girls of the schoolg to encourage and practice the laws of health and hygieneg to promote an interest in athleticsg to promote simplicity.

Girls' Athletic' Club Une llundretl Fifty-one Military Training S a result of a nation-wide movement to institute military training in high schools of the country, Rockford High School now has three com- panies of cadets and is looking forward to formation of a fourth. The proposition of military training in this school was supported by the parents of the students. Then application blanks were distributed among the boys. About one hundred and twenty signed up, but this number was in- creased until, at the time of this writing, there are one hundred and ninety enrolled in the three companies. At the head of the boys and in charge of military instruction in R. H. S., is Sergeant George Cockreil of the regular army, who is a well-liked and capable instructor. After a few drills, uniforms were ordered and on the arrival of these the boys looked and felt more like soldiers. Drill then began in earnest and the companies progressed rapidly. Officers were either appointed by Sergeant Cockreil or elected by the members of the companies. The arms, as they were not shipped until April 12, were slow in arriving. However, some of the boys were initiated into the mysteries of the manual of arms during vacation Week when Captain Sowle of Co. K. 3rd Reg. I. N. G.. kindly offered the militia guns for use. The three companies were formed into a battalion. and in the latter part of March the battalion made its Hrst public appearance in a review, which was followed by a march down State Street. On April third the cadets again ap- peared in public, this time in the preparedness parade. Our soldiers made the best showing during the Spring Exposition. But a cadet's life is not all, Forward March! Squads right! March! About once a week every company is given an hour of wall-scaling. XVall- scaling consists of getting eight men over an eight foot wall in the shortest possible time. The best time up to the time this article was written was SM seconds, made by a picked squad from C company. Also Saturday morning was a time enjoyed by many, for it was then that the boys went on short hikes to study open order work or indulged in various forms of competition in the High School gymnasium. In connection with the battalion was the court martial, which dealt with those breaking the rules governing cadets. However, delinquents were not many. The court, which was composed of the commissioned officers of the companies, was a real success. Although the big meet has not yet come off, the writer feels safe in saying that a company from Rockford will be in the thick of it. Judging from opinion expressed and interest displayed. it is very reason- able to forecast a rosy future for military training in R. H. S. One Hundred Fifty-two S 51?

Red Cross Nurses STRANGER passing through our halls of famel' near Room fifty-two any Thursday afternoon about four-thirty, might waste some sympathy on several girls. Curiosity getting the better of him, he might find them attentively listening to a lecture, or watching the dissection 'of a skeleton. But the visitor would find that it wasn't necessary for 'him to sympathize with an unfortunate class detained after school, because all the fifty girls present were voluntarily staying to take up Red Cross work with its toil and pleasures combinedi Sometimes, while the cadets have drilled in the street just out- side of the window, and the band boys have practiced overhead in Room 60, those girls have listened to various kinds of lectures on first aid rudiments. Dr. Day and several nurses with the able assistance of Miss Putnam and Miss Hill have made the series of lectures and instructions on first aid work very helpful and interesting. The lectures have covered care of frac- tures, both simple and compound, bruises, hemorrhages, first aid in case of drowning, and in all kinds of accidents. Besides such instructions the girls have visited the hospital and have learned how to care for the sick in the home. When the girls had displayed their skill in bandagiug each other, the class resembled somewhat a band of Amazonian warriors returned from some bloody coniiict-minus the blood. In bandage making they have shown their efficiency in manufacturing triangular, four-tailed, and roll bandages, as could be testified in their exhibition at the Armory. In the emergency hospital that took care of temporarily wounded cadets, Dr. Day and his twelve selected at- tendant Red Cross nurses manifested what a few months' training could ac- complish. The eighteen girls chosen as sponsors had a chance to display their earnestness towards the cause in the competitive wall-scaling drill con- tested in by all the cadet squads. The girls all showed their readiness and loyalty towards this country when they stood on the platform and three of their number carried and pre- sented the Colors to the High School companies. F. C.
