Student Council Student government! Thats a radical step, i-eingn-ked the visiting alumnus, It might have been, but it's a necessary step now. Today's student defends the system. XVell, times have changed. Certainly this feeling between the teacher and students hasfl A'You've noticed that. lVell, I'm not versed on teachers of yesterday, but I think Rockford has some fine teachers now. Some of our faculty are just like dads. You have a lot of respect for themg but you don't feel that you have to act formal when you're around themf' If you could only see how formal some of our faculty was. 'fThey were kind of stiff. I think that's the basis of our present student council. In your day the teachers kept a wide breach between students and faculty. A fellow who mixed with the teachers was a 'spotter' and a 'pet.' But you find nothing of that now. H VV hen was the council started? VVell, I imagine student government like most of our modern plans can be traced back to the war. The outbreak of the war in 1914 and our entry in l9l7 showed clearly the old order to be a failure, and the need for a new system? Then was it established as a war unit ? No, though it did help our city. It was not a war club, but it helped. Yes, for instance with the aid of two high school clubs. the Biology and the Agriculture, the Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. George Dillon gardens were planted on all vacant lots in Rockford. XVe used all of the food we could grow in those days. After the war both groups quickly found new duties. Both groups- ? Yes, you see, at that time, the student council was divided into the boy and girl councils, under Nr. Frank Dufrain and Miss Hazel Putnam.

Student Council l think it speaks for itself. just last year the council devised a monitor systemg new steps, divided by hand rails were put in, the post that blocked the entrance to the north building from the second Hoot' was removed, and a smaller but stronger steel one was substituted. The cotmcil has bought the slide projector used in all the .Xud programs. ,X committee of student council members keeps up the grounds of the school. During the last few years the stu- dent council has revived the cottnty fair that was formerly the big event between the junior and senior classesf, I should think it wottld be hard for the boys and girls to cooperate with the council di- vided. Oh, it hasn't been for the last seven years. ln l927, the student council was reorganized into one large group under the leadership of Miss l'utnam. A drastic change was made as to membership, also. Up until l929 two members were chosen for each council from each study hall except the auditorium, from which two juniors and three seniors were chosen for each council. llow are members chosen now F Since 1929 one member has been chosen front each home room. This method has proved very satisfactory. How do they handle their various duties F flat present every member of the student council is on one of three standing committees: class room citizenship, study hall citizenship, and extra-curricular activity citizenship. All of these committees are active and carry on important work. The members of the student council serve the school in many other ways too. lfour of the members of the lioard of .Xthletic Control are members of the councilg a leaders' club has been organized in the school made up of the most outstanding students, class ollicers and athletesg and every year several deserving Rockford fam- ilies are made happy at Christmas time by the large baskets the council gives. these committees are active and carry on important work. fit:-ot' jiftrru iss Carlson. lihrariang Blake.

No-still it must he in the school. XYhere was it P queried the interested student. ln what you now eall 22l. I think the cooking students use it for a cloak room. 'flint that room's so smallf' Yes. and the number of our hooks was even smaller. However, it kept growing. ln l89-l a trained librarian was hiredf, I didn't think we had a lihrarian until l9l6. Oh, she didn't stay lonff. She was only to e'1t'1lo0'ue the books and instruct the teachers, one C Y 6 K 1 I C 6 for eaeh hour of the day, who were to he left in ehargef' L'XVhy, that's not so very different from ours. Of course, we have a regular librarian at all times, hut I thought your system was far different from the present day onef' lt was. You see in those days, the lihrary was not large enough for the students to go and remain all period. The opening and closing of the study hall doors on pupils hound for the library hranded the plan a failure. Then the books were divided into three groups and placed in the study halls themselves, 320, 322, 222. Hllfere they ever returned to the little main lihrary again ? No, the new north huilding was soon to he finished. :X block of rooms was not to he used and so it was appropriated hy the lihrary staff. Thanks to a new librarian, this plan proved very satisfactory. From l9l6 on, the lihrary has been mueh the same. Do they still have the staff? Yes, but it now consists of a board of twenty-three pupils and the librarian. These students handle the 9,827 books and take care of the attendance every day, but they are always under the direction of a librarianf' jvnge sz'.1'lcfn we-an V1.,-5 -1y,ufV,, 3, ,ziwagfzlz-ffhf i,ilf6i3'?9l 'tm V wliilinstmii.

'iYes. the school hasn't changed much, but the courses are probably somewhat different. Everyone is required to take two years of English now, regardless of the course he is following, and seven elective courses are of- tered. ln the freshman English we took a com- position course, and rhetoric the next year. There was also an oral reading course required for the hrst two years. XVe have our composition courses the First semester of the sophomore and junior years and literature courses in the second se- mesterf' Our literature courses came in the junior and senior years and included study of Shake- speare and the classics. YVe cover Shakespeare in our English lit- erature courses, which are offered in the senior year. Then, of course, we have those courses which are not required, such as journalism, debate, creative writing, world literature, and college preparatory English. Any of the first three may be substituted for the regular com- position courses. lVe had nothing of that sort at all. De- bate was not begun until some years atter l was graduated, l905, I believef, lt was not until l92-l that the journalism course was added. The same year classes were begun in creative writing. 'fVVhat other courses does your English department include l'There are the dramatic art courses and the speech classes. The speech course was begun in 1908 and fourteen years later another course was added, the study oi the Bible as lit- eratnref' 'iAnd these are not required of the stu- dents ?'l UNO, they are all elective courses. It is very advantageous to a student to take these courses, for they further his knowledge of the subject along the line which appeals most to himf' PU IDENTIFICATION Sonja Sandeen, Dora Crouk, and Lillian Seidler were named as winners for the hook review contests. Charles Friberg, Phyllis Noreiko, Marguerite Peterson, Ronald Spongberg. Marshall Linder, and Ruth Paulson, in- structed the home rooms in parliamentary law. A group of A. B. L. girls presented an English period style show for the club. The members of thc Dramatic Art ll class are shown putting make-up on each other. page fwcvzly-eiglzi Departments Foreign Language jUr.1.x S11.x1f1a11, 1111111 A11 2111111111115 chats with Z1 IUC1111JET of the 193-1 class. 1111111611 1 went to school 2111o11t fo1'ty-1-ight years ago. we were taught 1.Zlf1l1, Greek, 211111 GCTl113l1.1' Greek was 11r11ppe11 1113111 our SC116K1l116' 111 1910, 11ut we offer eight semesters of Latin now.

Hllihat do the students do in the lirst two semesters of work ? ln the lirst semester we work on march- ing tactics as well as beginners' calisthenics. basketball, football, and relays. The Physical lfducation II is very similar. but more empha- sis is placed on calisthenics. l low many more semesters of gymnasium work are offered PM There are two remaining courses. Physi- cal liducation ll includes marching tactics, advanced calisthenics, track, basketball. relays and group games. The other course offers advanced drill tactics and apparatus work. Boxing and wrestling are also included in this courscf' r 'KXYhat different swimming courses do you have F There are two semesters of swimming. These may be substituted for any of the last three semesters of physical education. ln the first semester the boys get acquainted with the water. correct breathing. leg and arm action of the various strokes. Each pupil is expected to be able to swim twenty-five yards at the end of the semester. ln Swimming ll the impor- tant strokes are taught, as well as a short course in life saving. These students are re- quired to swim fifty yards at the completion of the course.

The societies themselves were not uniform. Requirements tor membership were dillferent in every part of the country. TVX larger unit was needed. hThe National Honor Society? Yes, lt succeeded in attaining the same standards of scholarship and similar methods oi recognition for all parts of the country. Rockford joined the National Honor Society in l925. lts otl'icers elected in l933 were President, Robert Lawsong Yice-l'resident. Bruce Olsong Secretary. Patty Bradford.

H. S., remarked Old Timer. It must be diffi- cut to choose the ones you think are the most outstanding. A'No, it isn't hard, answered l934. 'AVVe give every senior the opportunity of making his choice of the twelve senior leaders. Thus the results please everyone. These are our leaders. VVe chose Jeanette Anderson, the editor of the l934 Annual, as showing special ability in work on our publications, the Owl and Annualfl '4And of course the name of this semesterls senior vice-president, John Hallden, could not be omitted from the roll of honor. johnny was junior vice-president last year. '1Our popular and prominent athlete, julian iFishy' Ignatchuk, we chose as showing the best spirit of sportsmanship. Melvin Irwin, also a very outstanding athlete, is the president of the senior class at the present time. This alone would prove his popularity with his classmates. A'VVe seniors believe that john VV. Knight, the Owl editor-in-chief, has rendered great service to the school. - 4'Our well know11 Kenneth Nelson has served us honestly and efficiently for two semesters in the capacity of senior treasurer. Kenny was also an R. O. T. C. captain last semester. page sixty-train 45- ' Senior Leaders Of course, our almost unanimous choice for all-round senior leader with a service record was Bruce Olson, who also was credited with having the most successful high school career. Bruce was junior presi- dent last year and first semester senior president. Mary jane Clson, last year's May Queen and this ycar's senior secretary, we have selected as the friendliest senior. That she has a pleasing personality is evident by her smile, don't you think, Old Timer? That Elizabeth Peterson is intellectuality personified is known to every senior. Thus without hesita- tion we chose Betty as outstanding in scholarship. mln the artistic field Phyllis Reinert was judged most talented. XVe all greatly admire Phyllis' draina- tie ability, shown by her directing as well as her acting. 'AAlthough we seniors do not pretend to be versed in prophecy, it is easy to say that the future holds the most success for Edwin Sonnecken, Junior treasurer ot last year, and last semester's senior vice- president. 'H-Xnd it seems that activities have benefited most from the work of Thomas XVise, who possesses a host of capabilities and who also rates high in the field of service to the school. Of these twelve we are most proud, Old Timer, concluded 1934. fiagyr' .rin'fy-ihrce llext Hear Senior Leaders f- - '- 121 151 fin 'l I l l 14 rl These juniors were sclcctecl as c111tst:L11cli11g by their clfrssrnzmtcs 'fl11'O11g'l1 Pl l1c1111c room 11m11i11z1tio11 :mtl ballot. l 1 l . . . l Clmrlottc Hailey Cllzrrlottc Delia-lcl lillen Hraflforcl XYz1y11e Urzucl R1c:1Tir1gl1n111 l l Frcclcrick Cz1rlsm1 Virginia Crowell rllfilll Crum llarlmara KHj'.ll5l1llS Rollrrt !lOllllSUI1 Rolmcrt Metz Yirg5i11i:1Xloo11 ll0rtOvcrstro111 Polly Pear111:111 .-Xlclytl1Quixlvy l Betty ,lean Sclnuiclt Miko Tztllgurra llnmalcl Snyder INlz11'lu-S1111 XY2lI'lZlllLl Clurclmm X'Volflcy page .Vi.l'fxl f0IlI' 5 'QW P ew fl 1 MJ, . - MW V N M y P by W u M f ,L in n. iv kf'V W W 4 Y ff 5.

Tell ine about them, l934.'l That was the first Publications as- sembly, answered his young friend. Rosie and the thermometer were the creations of Clitt Haseman and Bud Balmer. As for the freezing tempera- ture, Old Timer, it rose to considerably over one thousand. But let me tell you of some other assemblies. An interesting one was the chem- istry classes assembly presented by Elizabeth Gregory, Phyllis Stern, Bet- ty Peterson, Alex Haddad, Donald Lake, Joseph ljirages, lid Sonnecken. and Vlilliam Gruenerwald. NYilliam Allen, Robert li. johnson, Goldine johnson, Dolores lirinegar, Dorothy lirinegar, Gordon NVolfley, and Allan Gable participated in the English department assembly. To promote good will between R. H. S. and lflgin high, the Quill and Scroll Society sponsors good will as- semblies. This year's speakers were Melvin Trwin, Gareth Barnes, john Tobin, John XY. Knight, Ralph Leach, liruce Olson, Charlotte Leverance, ,Ieanette Anderson, Christine lleider- man, and Frank Wihite. And at a musical program were heard Kathleen Lofgren, Aldyth Quix- ley, Yehna Zahn, Frederick Carlson. .lean Crumb, janet Lindsay, Marion Gallagher, Laura Mizer, and Marion XVilson, llonorary Musical Society members.

Later in the same year Captain Charles bl. Sowle of the Illinois National Guard relieved Sergeant Cockreil who was ordered to active service. Captain Sowle was an ollicer of experience and an advocate of the benefits of military train- ing to the individual, to the local community, and to the nation. The unit grew and was finally recognized by the federal government as a junior unit of the R. O. T. CQ. Did you have uniforms and regular army equipment F Before federal recognition, uniforms were bought by the individual cadets, but later they were furnished by the government. At the same time all necessary equipment was furnished, and an ollicer and non-commissioned officer of the regular army were assigned as instructors. The same sys- tem remains in effect today. Does your unit hold any ratings PM As a result of the prescribed rigid annual inspections this unit has been rated as an Honor School ten times in twelve years, a record held by few schools in the United States. No inspections were held in 1933 due to reasons beyond the control of both the schools and the Xxiar Def- partmentf' IDENTIFICATION llcre is Cadet Stocking coaching Cadet Sovvle.

Yes, answered the Old Timer, but at that time we were not called juniors, but senior middles. There were only twenty members in our class, all of the boys except two being named VVill. iYere you an otiicer of your class Fl' asked the modern youth. XYe didn't have oliicers because our class was very small and unorganizedf' Our president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer are Bert Overstrom. Robert Metz, Virginia Crowell, and Bob Seise respectively. They were elected out of the group which was nominated at our first meeting held October 9, 1933. Did you have any activities P No, answerd the Old Timer. XYe didn't have a gymnasium. an auditorium, or any other space large enough in which to present plays or other such projects. Did you present a play this year as has been the custom for some time PU Yes, The I,I.f7l'l' by Josephine Peabody was presented under the direction of Bliss Youngquist. The leads were played by Robert Bruce johnson and Betty jane Mansfield, supported by an excellent cast. The music between the acts was fur- nished by members of the Honorary Musical Societyf' Y 'Was the play successful ?', inquired the Qld Timer. Yes, with the cooperation of our advisor, Miss Koch, and the student and advertising committees, both the presentation and the business sides of this project were efficiently managed. Miss Regan had charge of the selling of tickets. She said that about twelve hundred and fifty were sold. There was a contest to see which three students could sell the most tickets. Kay johns won the first prize of two dollars, Betty jane Mansfield won second prize of one dollar, while two tickets to the play were won by Louise Adolphson for third prize. XVe also had a poster contest in conjunction with the play. Bill Richardson won the first prize and Helen Carlson the second. e XN7hen I was a senior middle, we held our classes in the rooms over a store on XVest State Street. They say that what we learned in our chemistry classes in one year could be mastered by a junior of today in about three minutes. page one hmdzfd thirty-three an Junior Activities Did your junior class have any activities when you went to high school, Old 'l'inier? asked the present- day student. No. it didn't. XYon't you tell nie something about your your activities? XVhat is this picture? lt looks exactly like a playf, nlt is a scene from the junior play. 'The Piperf Veronika, played by Betty Jane Mansfield. is kneeling by the cross, and the Viper is standing' near the cross which finally induced hini to return the children. Another activity sponsored by the class was the poster contest. The best poster was submitted by Bill Richard- song Helen B. Carlson's ranked second. Jayne Joslin and Miss Ferguson had charge of the publicity for the play. Miss Koch, our advisor, was business manager for the play. Kay Johns, Betty Jane lllansheld, and Jayne Joslin helped with the play. Owen Conde and Styrl Snyder helped with the lighting. Une of the first things that the junior class did was to nominate these people for their elass ollieers. At the top of the page are pictured lrlarriet JXnderson. Beatrice Anderson. Betty Bowen. Richard Bowman, Kath- ryn Calvin, Carolyn Dahlin, Margaret Denny, and Gladys ,Iilcwallg they were honor students for either three or four semesters. firlgfc one 111111111111 l11i1'ly-four Junior Activities ls this ziiiuthci' 500110 frcmi yuui' plzivi Yvs, it is.

You know a student who continues in school alter his required course is completed and he has heen graduatedf, Then I may inler that 'l'.tl.O.' has something to do with these people?

Our aims are to promote a better school spirit and more cofoperation hetween school organizations. XYc want to help those activities that really want aid. However, our group works for the good of the school as a whole and not of any one activity. XYe are will- ing to aid with any clerical work, and all suggestions are very welcome. ll members ol an activity desire assistance. they may ask us for it.

'fthe first record of it began in l9t79g however there must have been some sort of an organization before that, for alumni banquets were held each year after the tRnninencementf' XYhere did the .-Xssoeiation hold its meetings P They were first held in the Mendelssohn llallg however, later meetings assembled in the sehool auditorium in IQOS. The Alumni Association always meets in .lune on the night after the senior Cfummencementf' XYhat sort of programs do you have P Uh, many and various lcinds. XYe usually have a short special program and then dance after- wards. ln 1900, the Roeltforcl high school Mandolin elub presented a program. At times various short sketches were given. The class of 19l2 presented a reproduction of the 'Lay of the Last Minstrel' at the meeting of that year. Usually at the meetings talks were given by various mem- bers of the classes whieh were graduated ten, twenty or thirty years before. For example, if it was a meeting of 1934, various members from the classes of the fours, l924, lllll, et cetera, would give talks. NYhile I think of it, over one hundred and fifty high school alumni were in the service for the NYorld XYar. However, returning to the programs. there are always speeches hy various people in Rockford, and motion pictures also prove very suceessfulf, Could you give me the names of the members of the present faculty, who have served as ollieers of the organization P l'll try to give them all to you if I can.
