Organization of the Administration and Supervision in the Rockford Senior High School HE chief executive of the high school and the wheel about which all its activity moves is the principal. lt is he, who with the help of the assistant principal, the dean of girls, the advisors. and the department heads puts into operation the courses of study. As a part of this work methods of instruction must be determined and standards of achievement established. The principal and his aides supervise all curricular and extra- curricular activities and direct the efforts of all persons employed by the school. lt is the duty of the chief executive to see that general policies as recommended by the superin- tendent are carried out and to make periodically a detailed report upon the physical and social conditions within the school, The duties of the assistant principal center upon the routine activities of the school. Under his jurisdiction are the preparation of the teachers' programs and the organization of classes at the beginning of each semester. He manages athletic activities and their finances and supervises the handling of the free text-hooks. To him also go the special cases of discipline and the checking on attendance of the boys. On a par with the assistant principal is the dean of girls, the advisor of the social activities of our school. lt is left to her to arrange for the chaperonage of school parties and to keep the social calendar of dates and places for all club meetings. Then, as her title sug- gests, she acts as the general center of appeal and advice to the girls as well as checker on their attendance. Aside from her administrative duties the dean of girls teaches two classes and advises the Student Council. Upon the advisors' heads is the direct responsibility of seeing that each pupil is brought into contact with the courses which best suit and develop his abilities. . - - V W., - . , -QV , M ' W' V Q..-Lfi liqz A lfssi res., HW -, M A 4, .- .,- w .3 ' ., ,Q,Ys.. 3g-!

Organization of the Administration and Supervision in the Rockford Senior High School FTIQN times it is necessary for the advisors to interview the parents concerning the curricular and subject problems of the students, They are in charge of all class activi- ties of their respective groups and must supervise the planning of the assembly pro- grams assigned to their particular study hall. Acting as the guides of the home room teachers the advisors help to see each boy and girl entirely through high school. Their in- terest in the pupils does not end with graduation but extends even further. for they help graduates choose their colleges and even obtain positions in the business world. Another important position in the plan of organization is filled by the department heads who are appointed by and are responsible to the principal. They must cooperate with the teachers in their departments by setting up objective standards of achievement and testing for progress. The actual work of preparing and putting into effect the courses of study and the recommendations of text-books for adoption is left to them. The teacher is the responsible agent for the direct instruction of the pupils in the class room and is under the guidance of the department heads and the principal. It is through the teacher that a closer relationship is established between the home and school in order to promote the interests of more efficient instruction. His most important duty is to teach the pupils what has been laid out in the course of study. but he also keeps records. collects data, conducts researches, and makes suggestions for the improvement of educational and physical conditions. Thus the principal. through the assistant principal, dean of girls, advisors. and through the department heads and the teachers, promotes the efficiency and cooperation of all the branches of the work of the school.

Board of Education HE Board of Education is a governmental body of men and women who meet at least twice a month to discuss the educational system of Rockfordg but, IHOTC than that, it is a medium by which the will of the people may be carried out. The board consists of eleven members nominated from the city at large by the mayor and confirmed by a majority vote of the city council. One member. designated by the mayor as the president, is the pre- siding officer. The Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Frank A. Jensen. is the executive officer. As planned in the city charter, the Board of Education has six very definite powers or duties to perform. These are to lay off and divide the city into districtsg alter and create new districts, purchase or lease the sites for school houses with necessary grounds for eachg furnish schools with necessary apparatus and equipmentg engage teachers and determine their compensationsg support and maintain common schoolsg and prescribe the studies to be taught and the books to be used. In order to carry out its plans more efficiently the board has four standing committees: Education, which makes appointmentsg Business and Finance. which takes care of revenue and provision of funds for the operation of the stystem and makes the annual budgetg Build- ings and Grounds, which supervises the construction and maintenance of buildingsg Pur- chasing, which has charge of the buying of all supplies and equipment needed for the public school system. The standing committees assume a large share of the responsibility, but they delegate some of their powers to various other officers. From this general description a conception may be obtained of the importance of the Board of Education as a central point in the plan making organization of the school system. f20l , i Q -,W ., V 1- - ' M 7 ' , ,. .. f.

Athletic Board of Control llli .-Xthletic Iioard of Control is the board which governs Rockford Senior High School athletics, Formerly it was an independent body, but noxv it is a branch of the Student Council. lt is in reality an athletic committee although it still retains the name of .Xthletic lioard of Control. The group xvas primarily organized to stimulate interest and attendance at the ganies. The next function of the board is to govern all affairs pertaining to athletics and to award letters. All problems and disputes that arise concerning' school athletics are discussed and settled by the athletic goveriiiiig body. The ,Xthletic lioard of control is composed of eleven members. These include the principal, Mr. james E. lllueg the assistant principal, Mr. l'aul S. Conkling the athletic direc- tor. Mr. Charles lieyerg the heavyweight football coach, Mr. Arthur l.undahlg the heavy- weight basketball coach, Hr. blames Laude: the heavyxveight football captain, Leo Stasicag the heavyxvcight basketball captain, l,ouis Castiglioni 3 and four representatives from the stu- dent council, Jeanne Rogers, Mitzi Capron, Robert Paget, and George Prentice. Robert l'ag'et is the chairman of the board, and Mitzi Capron is the secretary. This year Mr. Elmer Ilexvey has been made a member of the board as he is the faculty director of finances. At the beginning of the football season, the lioard sponsored educational football talks in the assemblies. The heavyweight and liglitxveight coaches introduced their teamsg Coach l.undahl talked about the new football rules, the various signals and plays used during a ganie. and the part each member of the team played in carrying out these formations. A similar program was given for the basketball teams. These programs helped to boost attend- ance at the games. f21l R. johnson, Zilinskyg I,. Hanson, Bonlay, Murray, Hewitt, Brace, Gutzwiller.

It is plan- ned as a part of the school administration to give the students a part in the planning. The Student Council, being a group which meets to take counsel concerning problems affecting students. is the only student representative body and the only means of communi- cation between the students at large and the faculty. The members of this student governing body are elected from their respective home rooms to be accredited representatives. Representatives must have passed in at least three subjects the semester previous to their election and must be passing in everything at the time of their election. The council meets every other Friday of the school year, when there are no assemblies, during the home room period. At this time all the affairs of the school are discussed from the students' angle, and different school problems are debated as they arise. Taking care of school traific problems and cleaning the school flags are two special duties assigned to the Student Council. One of the outstanding services performed by the council for the school and connnunity is the collection and distribution of Christmas baskets for the needy. Each representative directs in his home room the filling of a basket. The materials needed for each basket are assigned to the home room by the council, and the home room representative attends to the assigning of individual contributions so that all may have an opportunity to participate. Eighty-one of these baskets were distributed to families this Christmas. An effort was made to confine the baskets to families of needy students. The contribution of thc Student Council to the social life of the school was in the form of an old-fashioned carnival, an evening party, given in the second semester.

This knowledge includes the geography of the country and its history and literature. The German classes make a study of German musicians and scien- tists. ln Spanish classes, Spanish artists are studied. A second aim is to create in students an awakened interest in other races in order to develop a broader viewpoint. The people of the foreign country are studied through their own literature rather than through what other people write or say concerning them. The classes sing songs in thc language and present plays and skits. Correspondence is carried on With students of foreign countries. Reading ability is developed by reading. Another objective is to increase appre- ciation of English, explain its derivation, and make clear its close relation to other languages. In the department four years of Latin are offered, three of French and Spanish. and two of German. One of Many. tory and literature.

The hrst, liirly liuropean llistory, tells the story of the experiences in living together ot groups of people who resided in XVestern Asia and in lfurope from the dawn of time to the eighteenth century. The Modern liuropean History course deals with the experiences of the groups of people who lived in Europe from the opening of the eighteenth century to the present day. Vklorld History is a general survey course of important events in the experiences of European and Asiatic peoples. The United States History tells of the experiences of the people who have built our own native land. The course provides a background for the in- telligent viewing of present day problems and gives a detailed study of the Consti- tution and its application to modern life. The American Government course deals with the political side of group life and citizenship responsibilities in the United States. Economics concerns the problems of people in their attempts to earn a liv- ing. The course includes basic economic principles and correct interpretation of economic literature. ln Sociology the human welfare side of group life is studied. Problems such as crime, poverty, and race difficulties are discussed. Top Picture: Robert Kieslinc, Eunice Knock, and John Pat- ton were National Education YVcek speakers for History Department.

DEPARTME TS Mathematics Three semesters of Geometry, and three of Algebra arc offered by the Math- ematics llepartnieut. Geometry develops the appreciation of the student for a logi- cal proof, makes him value precision, and acquaints him with the plane figures. The object of solid geometry or Geometry Ill is to give the student knowledge of the fundamental spatial relationships and to make him familiar with solid figures. ln Algebra, the students obtain a know- ledge of formulas, graphs, directed num- bers, and logarithms. This algebra is strongly recommended for those students going to college. The objective of Alge- bra lll is to regain and extend the stu- dent's power in algebra, logarithms, and the slide rule. Algebra IV provides a foundation for those who intend to per- fect themselves in the study of mathema- tics. The practical use of trigonometry to the surveyor, the navigator, the astrono- mer, and the engineer is taught in the Trigonometry course. The slide rule, which is used in algebra and trigonometry to solve problems re- quiring only three place accuracyg the transit, which is used in simpler opera- tions of surveying, the hypsometerg and the plane table are instruments used in the Mathematics Department. Blathematics offers valuable basic train- ing to prospective students of medicine and engineering.

I3 DEPARTME TS Science Five courses are offered in the curri- culum of the Science Department. The subjects, Chemistry, Physics, Botany, Zoology, and Physiography are planned to enable students to understand the scienti- hc environment of modern life and to give training in scientific methods of solv- ing problems. Physiography is a new laboratory science that has been added to the courses of the department this year. lt deals with map interpretation, especially topographic maps, minerals, rocks, soils, and the for- mation ot river valleys and lake beds. By the time he has mastered Chem- istry the student should know the make- up of all the everyday things he contacts in his existence. Physics helps one to understand the principles related to everyday living, in- cluding machines. hydrostatics, sound. light, magnetism, electricity, and radio. Botany work deals with living plants, how they are constructed, and where they grow. The structure and habits of living animals from the amoeba to the human being are taught in Zoology. The basis for work in the Science De- partment lies in the manual. Manuals are planned by teachers in the department to act as supplements to the text-book and as guides in laboratory work.

Two years of Stenography are given. Students are advised to take Bookkeeping in conjunction with Stenography to make them more fully equipped to answer the needs of modern business. Commercial l.aw relates to every day mercantile transactions which are based on the usage of trade. ln the Commer- cial Geography classes the students study the relation between the geography of the world and its commercial problems. The foremost contributions of the Com- mercial Department to the economic structure of society are the imparting of a skill to the lingers and the training of the mind in shorthand, tiling, typing, and bookkeeping. Much time is given in the meetings of teachers of this department to the tech- niques of lesson planning and methods used in recitation. op PiCtl1l'eZ Louise :Xrlolphson and liurton Hudson talk in the interests ot' the Commer- cial Department during Na- Q tional litlucation XXI-ck. liddle Picture: l'onnding the keys are Edward llopkins.

The prin- cipal aim of the department is to give the proper knowledge necessary for the living of a wholesome life. Subjects of interest to both boys and girls are pre- sented. Persons in the clothing division of the department are instructed concerning cor- rect and proper modes of dress. They are taught to recognize well-blended color combinations and ways to use them effec- tively. I low to make and purchase clothes, how to judge fabrics, and to dress suit- ably are other abilities acquired in the Clothing classes. The main purpose of the Foods in- struction in the department is to teach the right foods to eat. Correct methods of serving and dining are stressed. Girls learn to purchase the right foodstuffs eco- nomically. Home Management, as the name im- T plies, is a subject in which the use of money, goods, leisure time, and the meth- ods of making home an enjoyable. com- fortable place in which to live are stressed. llome Nursing instructs in the proper care of self, children, and the sick. livery- day Living is a course offered to boys in which a combination of everything affect- ing a boy's life is presented. Each teacher in the department follows a carefully worked out course of study.

Many practical projects are the result of the combined effort of the drafting. pattern, and machine shops. Bernard Schwartz, a pupil in the trade machine shop, this year completed a jig-saw which was designed in the drafting department, formed in the pattern shop, and machined in the machine shop. The teachers of the lndustrial Depart- ment meet once a month to discuss such subjects as ohjectives. class organization, department needs, exhibits, and student progress. The instructors are provided with charts, pamphlets, samples of mater- ials. and lantern slides to he used to illus- trate conditions and materials met with in industry.

DEP RTMENTS Art Today art enters into practically every phase and experience of daily life. For generations it has proved the most en- during and authentic record of the life and culture of nations. Since art plays so important a part in living, the art needs and interests in life form a basic consideration in building an art curriculum. Student reaction to various phases of art also becomes an in- fluencing factor in the plan. There are two definite purposes served by art. First, it cultivates an understanding and an appreciation of beauty which enriches the life and contributes to the happiness of everyone. Secondly, it gives needed training to those who possess talent and are interested in becoming designers, com- mercial illustrators, craft workers, in- terior decorators, architects, landscape designers, painters, sculptors, or profes- sional workers. The Art Department offers four semes- ters of well-balanced activity in drawing. design, color. and craft. These courses are designed to develop an art judgment and intelligence in determining why things give pleasure or annoyance. Following the named courses more specialization is offered in design, commercial illustration, and reproduction processes. The students who complete all the work offered in the department leave high school with a splendid foundation to enter pro- fessional fields.

The students learn tu write short compo- sitiuns. 'l'he Clmruses meet twice a week. The vuices of the pupils are classified, and the students are then assigned to a suitable part. In these classes an opportunity to sing good music is uttered. A Cappella their gives students a chance to sing without an accompaniment. Hand and Orchestra meet daily. The Band plays at athletic rallies, games, as- semlmlies, and important civic events. Its purpose is to teach the lmvs to play in ensemlile. The purpose of the Orchestra is to develop understanding and desire for the lmest in urcliestral music. The main ubjective of all music study within the high school is to cause a native interest in tune and rhythm and to de- velnp, hy the enriching experience of list- ening, a love of good music lmased on the intelligent understanding ul iiiumls, struc- ture. and nutrition, E41 Danielson, Young, Sowleg NY.

ORGANIZATIONS Band HE Rockford Senior High School Band plays an important part in school life by being an instructive as well as an entertaining organization. Directed by Mr. blohn T. Haight, who has been the only director, the band plays at most of the school functions, such as athletic games, pep rallies, and assemblies. During the football season the band played at every home game and one out of town game. Members of the band who were especialy interested in band work attended the Tllinois-VX'isconsin football game at Madison to see the great bands of both schools. The band plays in many community affairs. l.ast spring it marched in the Centennial Parade, played at the Memorial Day program, and at the high school commencement exer- cises. Among their programs is their annual concert at the limmanuel l.utheran Church. All the programs of the band are planned by Mr. Haight. In l907, Mr. Haight first planned and organized the band to promote interest and educational work in music. lt was the first high school band in the United States.

URGANIZATIONS Orchestra N 1918 the first Rockford Senior High School Orchestra was organized under the direc- tion of Mr. june E. liornor. For seventeen years it has constantly increased in size and improved in ability until it is now a perfectly balanced symphony orchestra. The main object of the organization is to create more intelligent listeners for the con- stantly increasing number of symphonic concerts. lt gives to the students an opportunity for wholesome emotional outlet through the playing of good music. There are approximately fifteen different types of instruments in the orchestra not in- cluding the percussions. Most of the class practice time is devoted to the playing of classical music: but a number of semi-classics, popular college songs, and selections from musical comedies and light operas are also performed. This year the orchestra's main selection was Beethovenls Fifth Symphony which, together with other pieces, was played for the Mendelssohn Club this spring. In order to gain entrance to the beginners orchestra. a person must be either studying music or able to play certain test numbers. Later, by challenging the holder of some higher seat in the orchestra and winning the favorable decision of the other members, he may be promoted to the concert orchestra. In order to retain this position, the players must be present at all special rehearsals or presentations that the organization gives. Each year in the fall, members of the orchestra elect officers who are usually reelected for the second semester. This year the officers were as follows: llresident. Frank Panta- leog Vice-President, Robert Keisling: Secretary, Mitzi Capron: Treasurer, Betty Schmidt. These officers took complete charge of all matters which arose for discussion and decision during the year. f46l Kuppc, lloomerg R, And:-rsong N, Olson, Miller, Kanne, Mazill, Chopolis, Bloomstcr.

ORGANIZATIONS Orchestra HIS year, for the first time, emblems were awarded to the players in the concert or- chestra. The emblem is a six inch, black chenile lyre with the red felt lettering R.H.S.O. inscribed on it. Members may take part in outside musical organizations provided that they allow the orchestra tirst place in engagements for playing. It a member misses a special rehearsal or concert without reason, he is demerited according to vote of the orchestra: and as a pen- alty he may be placed back in the beginner's orchestra. The group plays an important part in school life as it furnishes music for plays, oper- ettas, assemblies, and other such activities. lt represents the school in outside activities as it is a member of both the National High School Orchestra Association and the State High School Orchestra Association. Last November the orchestra sent seven representatives to the All-State Orchestra at the University of lllinois. They were Betty Annis, Betty Carlson, lda blohns, Aldyth Quixley, lion Magill, Robert Keisling, and Frank ljantaleo. The selec- tions played were as follows: the Finale, and the Second Movement from TchaikoWsky's Fourth Symphonyg the Colonial Dance by George llaschg the Woodland Suiteg and the Ethiopian Dance. Robert Keisling gained the honor of winning tirst chair viola in the All- State Orchestra. Nr. Bornor sent a woodwind quintet to the National Orchestra at ln- dianapolis: lletty Carlson, oboe: Helly Annis, bassoong Frank l'antaleo, clarinetg Marianne Young, fluteg Doris Leatherbee. French horn. Last fall the orchestra had an lntcgrity afternoon party. lnstcad of issuuing tickets for the dance, blind men with tin cups stood at the door to collect the admission.

Literally it means in a solenm or devotional manner, or in church style, but it has now come to mean a vocal chorus without instrumental accompaniment. Thus Rockford Senior High School's .-X Cappella Choir, which was planned and organized by Miss Sarena Dunton, derived its name. Today it is a large choir, having approximately thirty-six members. To be eligible to try out for the choir, a person must have had chorus either here or in junior lrligh School. He must be able to sing parts independently and must have a good singing voice as well as good intonation. ln order to retain his membership, he must appear with the choir whenever it appears in concert. This, like all organizations, has an objective, which is to give musical students an op- portunity to participate in, and become acquainted with, the best music. Likewise, it gives these pupils a chance to study choral literature and learn to interpret the works of the old masters and the modern composers. The director, with the consent ofthe choir, plans the activities and programs for the organization. School programs are enhanced by the occasional appearance of the club in assemblies, annual concerts, and in the baccalaureate services. However, the club does not limit itself to presenting programs to the school. lt made appearances before the Northern lllinois State Teachers' Association and the Sunday Evening Club. Eunice Knock, Carolyn Dahlin, Ruth Meleng, Jack llanson, and lXlarkeson Varland represented the school at Urbana in the State Chorus. .-Xmong the soloists at the various programs and concerts were Eunice Knock. Mae Dahlquist, Herbert Larson. john l'eltz. and Melvin lrwin. The first and second semester officers were respectively: President. Maxwell liranzen, Markeson Varland: Vice-President, Carl Luudquist, Eunice Knockg Secretary-Treasurer, Eunice Knock, Mae llahlquistg l,ibrarian, Ruth Kleleng.

ORGANIZATIONS Junior Glee Club HE JUNIOR GLIEE CLUB is Rockford Senior High Schools newest musical orgaf nization. lt was organized in September of l934 by Nliss Sarena Dunton and was launched with twenty-three charter members. Host of these were Sophomores. who will he able to remain with the club all the way through their three years in high school. This third girls' singing group was organized because there were more girls who desired to do glee club work than were there openings for them. During the second semester, bc- cause of the popularity of the club, the enrollment increased so that now there are about forty members. Those who had the honor ot being the first oiliicers of the club were l'res- ident, Vera lfribergg Vice-President, Betty llelahantyg Secretary, Betty Youngbergg Treas- urer, Betty XYilson1 and Librarian, Marcelyn Anderson. liarly in the fall the club had a picnic at Sinnissippi Park with Lucille Gardner, Betty NN'ilson, and Louise Gardner chairmen of the committee which took charge of the outing. Later in the year Laura lXlae Howard acted as general chairman for a candy sale which was put on to raise money for space in the ,-Xnnual. This new glee club was one of the groups of girls which participated in the Christmas assemblies and sang carols in the halls during the week preceding Christmas. 'llhey also took an outstanding part in the A Cappella Choir concert. which was presented to the school in january. Again, during the second semester, they joined with the members of the Girls' Glee Club in presenting a cantata. ln January the main social function of the year was given, A number of girls from this club, and likewise some of those from the Treble Clef and the Girls' Glee Club, gave a tea in honor of their mothers and friends.

ORGANIZATICNS Chorus llli Rockford Senior High School chorus classes are under the direction of Miss Sarena Dnnton. There are separate boys' and girls' groups, and anyone who wishes may join them. Often boys who have never sung bass or tenor come into this class. Similarly, many of the girls who enter the classes may have sung only the melody before, and they therefore need experience in singing second soprano or alto. At First, each group uses only very simple material. Later the material is varied according to the abilities and voice limi- tations of those in the classes. The objectives are to improve the tone quality of the voice and to enable each one to sing his part independently in two or three-part music. XYhen an individual has attained both of these goals, he is considered well prepared to go on in one of the other singing organizations. The girls' favorite piece seems to be Barcaro11e from Tales from Hoffman by Of- fenbach, but the boys prefer The Toreador Song from Carmen by Bizet. Although oilicers are not elected in these classes, there are secretaries. treasurers, and librarians who serve. For first and second semesters respectively, in the girls' chorus, liheba Rosa and Mary .lane Mclntosh were secretaries: Margaret Baker and Lenore Swan- son. librarians, and Marian Rydbom, treasurer. ln the boys' chorus, Donald Bate and George Oberg were secretariesg lfred Sculley and Bennie lierreyra, librarians: and Tony Twaryonas. treasurer for both semesters. l.ois Boomer and Donald Coil furnished accompaniment when the boys sang. and Vir- ginia Torfferson did likewise for the Girls. 5 C 3 V, - 6 The two groups joined in having an ice cream bar sale. Donald Bate and liula Mae Ivey were general chairmen. Those who assisted were Margaret Baker, Ruth Engstrom, Morse Nlillot, Dick Stallwood, Tony Twaryonas, Richard Stiles, Ray Fuca, Hariann Ryd- bom, virginia Gates, Bette Ekstrom, Rachel Cosgrove, and Grace Haynes. ss, Q-: f.ge :zsstf'1W: tif.l:,fa1f'L , -oiifftfuiembiiakzsgagmx. ,3 14 A-1 'lg fa W , .ff:l,. , , NM is in my :isis ' :.ufw'w1 'ym seem - iKmz'wem s,..i'1 is l53l l'5 DEP RTME TS 4l Girls, Physical Education The Girls Physical Education course is divided into two sections, gymnastics and swimming.

These girls di- vided into two groups, thus forming the A, li. l.. literary club and a girls' athletic club. The .-X. B. L. has as its purposes the furthering of the appreciation of literature and pub- lic speaking, the promoting of a feeling of good fellowship among the girls of the high school, and the advancement of the standard of intellectual and social culture. The club has suc- ceeded very well in carrvinw' out its aims 'ind it has 'ilso been verv much lil'ed bv the Girls. J . 5 ' 1 ' . X , rs :Xny junior or senior girl with a grade of A or lil in linglish courses who is recommended by her linglish instructor, and is voted upon favorably by the membership committee, is eligible to become a member of the club. At the present time there are sixty active mem- bers, only five below the number allowed by the constitution. To remain a member of the club it is necessary to retain a B average in English, and earn at least nineteen points each semester. These points may be earned by attending the meetings, paying dues on time. and serving on various club committees. lt was a long time before a suitable name for this literary club was agreed upon. However, since the members wished a French name. 'fAdmiratrices de Belles Lettres Was linally chosen, but less formally the club is called A. B. L. Translated, the French name means the 'lAdm.irers of Beautiful Literature. For the most part A. B. L. meetings are held on alternate Tuesdays, usually the second and fourth Tuesdays in the month. Many very interesting and varied programs have been presented at the club gatherings. On Tuesday, Gctober 30, Leslie Young Correthers of Keith School spoke, his subject being, The Art of Vtfritingf' Besides his topic he told of his experiences with other authors during his stay in Hollywood, California. He concluded by giving a few of his original poems. T641 M. ,111l1ns11n. lllon1l1erg. Blake, lD11r:1n, Kipp, Bl111nl1e1'g, Hoisi11g11111. Mainland: lf. Larsong l.. Larson, Martin.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE' STUDENTS' CLUB HE lforeign Language Students' Club which was organized in September 1934, is in reality the four foreign language clubs, the German, Deutsche Gesellschattg Spanish, lil Circulo l-fspanolg Latin, lfascesz and the French, Le Cercle Francais Clubs combined. The importance of this language club is evident: the study of foreign customs and manners, which cannot be obtained in the regular class room curriculum, is presented in the club programf. For instance, at these meetings, students of the German Club learn something of the life of the other three countries, as well as the one which they study. Various problems were encountered as the lirst meeting of the Foreign Language Stu- dents' Club progressed. The club had to be known under some title, and. accordingly, a contest was held and a prize offered to the language student who would submit the most appropriate suggestion. Of the twenty-six persons who competed, the winner was Ross Cornelius, who suggested naming it the Foreign Language Students' Club. To decide upon the manner of constructing a constitution committees were chosen, one from each club, which took the four constitutions and used them as a basis for the present one. An even number of two hundred students constitutes the active membership of the or- ganization. To qualify as an applicant for membership a student must either be taking one of the four languages or he must have completed a twovyear course in any one of them. Meetings are held twice a month. Each business meeting and program is in charge of one of the clubs and its officers according to an accepted schedule. The Deutsche Gesellschaft sponsored the Hrst program wherein they presented Reverend Norman C. Zulauf of the Bethel Evangelical Churchg his topic was Oberammergau and the Passion Play.

Miss lfdiih XYliiting, HE numbers in the name S-5-3 come from the places which the initials of the words, history. economics, and civics hold in the alphabet. ln 1922, when the history club was organized, it was one of the largest clubs of the Rockford Senior High School 5 today, with a membership of two hundred twenty-two, under the leadership of Miss Edith NVhiting, it is the largest. To become a member in this club one must be enrolled in the Social Science Department. This accounts for the exten- sive membership in the club. The 8-5-3 Club is more than a local organization, for it belongs to the League of Inter- national Education. This membership helps to carry out the purpose of the clubg that is, to promote interest in social science and the application ot its principles. On November 1, the club presented Belle MacDiormed Richey's play They Clean the Attic. On November 15, Mrs. john Gordon, World traveler, spoke on Russia In addition to the speaker at the meeting of November 15, the double quartet of the Girls' Glee Club sang a few selections. At another meeting Miss Sylvia Brewer, faculty member, spoke on K'Mexico. At the Christmas meeting Knute Nielsen acted as Santa Claus and distributed gifts among the members. Reverend Ernest C. Bloomquist of the Emmanuel Lutheran Church of Rockford addressed the club on January 10. The club held its annual Valentine dance on February 15, and the members enjoyed a picnic later in the second semester. The first semester officers were President, Fred Saterbakg Vice-President, Maieiyell Franzeng Secretary, Betty Annisg Treasurer, Aldyth Quixley, and Program Committee, Betty Gail Bowen and Harriet Blomberg.

Decker, COIVIIVIERCIA CLUB X the spring' of 1928 as a response to popular student demand extensive plans were dis! cussed and formulated for the organizing of a commercial club in the high schoolg and in the fall of the same year these plans were put into effect under the guidance ol Nlrs. Lu- cille Burgoon. Naturally the programs of this club are related to the field of business and this present semester has offered several of Rockfo1'd's well known business executives. who have disf cussed their personal experiences in their vocations. These informal talks have proved intensely interesting. as well as educational, to the members of the Commercia Club. An aim of the organization is to create a friendly feeling among the members, and in so doing student talent has been employed. Numbered among the future business professionals are a few who are skilled musicians, and who have founded a musical group composed of Esther Qlson, pianog Eleanor Decker, crooner and banjo: and Lois Rudin, violin. Shorthand spelldowns, humorous skits pertaining to office details, a banquet once during the semester, and numerous other activities have constituted the club's social affairs. The present club has a membership totaling from thirty-tive to forty students. Quali- fications for membership necessitate that the applicant must have taken Shorthand I, hold- ing a C average at the time. Thirty-nine new members were formally initiated into the club this semester at a Halloween party. Virginia Crowell gave a short address to the in- coming members, and appropriate ghost stories and refreshments were enjoyed. Officers for the first semester were President, Lucille Borng Vice-President, Marian Qstromg Secretary, Virginia Fribergg and Treasurer, Bernice McNames. Second semester officers were President, Phyllis Millerg Vice-President, Eleanor Kindstromg Secretary, Nel- lie Sandersg Treasurer, Marion Ostromg OWliReporter, Margaret Nelson, and Social Chair- man, Lucille Born.

Usually each year a member is sent to the convention of this organization. ln this way the club gets in touch with new ideas for projects and entertainments and discovers new phases of home economics work. ' The name of the club was chosen to include both departments of home economicsg Seco is a combination of the tirst two letters of each of the words, sewing and cooking, Any girl who has completed a semester's work in a home economics class with an aver- age of C or above may become a member of the club. At the present time the enrollment consists of forty girls. , Regular meetings of the Seco Club take place on every second Monday. Besides sewing at these meetings, the girls enjoy social and educational pursuits. The programs generally consist of readings, music, and short plays. This year the project of the Seco Club has been to become better acquainted with Rock- ford. The members made Held trips through places of interest in the city, such as Allen's Ice Cream Company and the County jail. At Christmas time the club made Christmas stockings and lilled them with candy to be given away to the needy. The club also held a taffy apple sale. The adviser of the club is Miss Margaret G.

Unlike most school clubs, the Hi-Y conducts its initiation for new members accord- ing to a long established custom in the form of an impressive induction service. Swimming meets and various other sport and get-to-gether meetings are held in order that the members may become better acquainted with each other. ln the club at the present time there are ninety-tive active members, and many inter- esting programs have been presented for their enjoyment. Meetings are usually held on the second and fourth VVednesdays of each month. There has nearly always been an outside speaker in connection with the dinner meetings.

At the sopho- mores' assembly .lohn Beatty, Roger Galloway, Arthur Sacltler, and Allen Bailey spoke on Clean Speech , 'tClean Scholarship , and l'Clean Living respectively. Un january 17, the Executive Council of the club met for the second time this semester. They discussed plans for thc second semester, and the club's social and business calendar was drawn up. On january 23, the club held its annual Father and Son banquet, an event which has always proved popular. Gene Doerr was chairman of this banquetg hc was assisted by Ray llalmgren, Roger liricson, and Raymond Zilinsky. On March 20, the club held an All- Rockford boys' church service with the hope that it would forward Christian fellowship among the club boys. An established custom in the club is that several boys represent the Hi-Y Club each summer at Camp Seymour. Last year Maxwell Franzen, Bob Lyons, and Quintin l7eSaix were the club's representatives. The derivation of the name Hi-Y is very interesting, as it is derived from two ditferent sources. Clubs are formed in high schools only in cities where there is no Y. M. C. A.g thus the first two letters are fittingly taken from the word High. The Y in this name is taken from the First letter in Y. M. C. A.g an organization with which the Hi-Y is very closely connected. Both semester officers were the following: President, Gordon Wolfleyg Vice President. Maxwell Franzeng Secretary, Jack Nelsong Treasurer, Markeson Varlandg and Chaplain, 'William Allen. All during their membership in this club, these boys have been active mem- bers and have done much to make the club a success. ins-'J -iff as g ' :fs-, . f ,W W .1 . . is pi- ve . M we A .

The newcomers arriving in the fall of the same year amounted to the total of 334 girls and 312 boys. The entire enrollment ofthe sophomores from the Junior high schools is 1,009. Although only sophomores, the students pictured in this section have already par- ticipated in many school activities such as clubs, Annual work, the Gwl, Band, and Orchestra besides their regular studies. The sophomores on the Annual staff are Vio- let Carlson and Barbara Cooling. 111123 OPHOMORES Iline Wallberg-267 Dorothy Wallin-312 Secretary Honor Student Marylou Warner-312 john Whitcomb-314 All-round Student Honor Student Alice Willsey--314 Betty Wilson-314 Secretary All-round Student Dick Wolfley-62 Esther Zahn-312 President President The Owl staff members are the following: Peter Noling. advertising staiifg Betty XN'ilson, point recorder, and Georgia Haseman. exchanges. One unusual mark of merit is that of Ray Douglas, a IOA, who already is prominent in Band work. The outstand- ing sophomores in the Orchestra are Roy Brown, jean Carson, and Henry Coretz. Because of the unusual talent of the sophomores, the Annual Staff has had a diffi- cult time in selecting the best students. The selection was made from the following groups: honor students, all-round students, home l'OO111 officers, and most active club members. H131 JU 1oR CLASS During its first two years in Rockford Senior High School, the Class of 1936 has shown itself to be one of the liveliest and most enthusiastic Junior classes in the his- tory of the school. At its first meeting, called for the purpose of organization, these characteristics displayed themselves to such an extent that there were so many nominees for offices that later, instead of holding one Final election. as has always been the custom, it was necessary to hold a primary election. ln this election all but the three in each office receiving the highest number of votes were eliminated. As a result of the Final election, Gordon Mandt was elected Presi- dentg Bill VVatson, Vice-President: liois Blue, Secretaryg and lda l.ouise blohns, Treasurer. The newly elected president immediately assumed his duties and soon called the sec- ond meeting of the class. At this time the dues were set at twenty-live cents per per- son. These dues were collected by the home room treasurers under the supervision ofthe class treasurer and Miss Hazel Koch, ad- visor. On November 23 and 24 the Romantic Age, by A. A. Milne, was presented by the members of the class under the direction of Miss Edna Youngquist. Miss Koch acted as business manager and Miss Frances Regan as ticket sales head. ' s. .

'Its prin- cipal aim is to reward those students who have shown over average ability in school work, life, and activities. The Rockford chapter of the National Honor Society was organized in 1925. The pure pose of the organization is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character. The emblem of the society is a keystone with a flaming torch indicating the strong foundation Education is to Truth and Life. The keystone bears at its base the letters S. I., C, and S, which stand for Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service. To be eligible for membership in the National Honor Society a student must be in the upper third of his class scholastically and must be active in extra-curricular work. Not more than Fifteen percent of the second semester Seniors, ten percent of the First semester Seniors. or five percent of the second semester Juniors may be voted into the society each year. After being voted on by all teachers and upper classmen, the list of eligible students is turned over to a committee of faculty members who make the final decision. The most outstanding event which occurs in the yearly program of the society is the elaborate ceremony given for the reception of new members before the entire student body in an assembly in june. This pledge is taken by new members at that time: I pledge myself to uphold the high purpose of this society to which I have been elected, striving in every way, by word and deed, to make its ideals the ideals of my schoolf, The officers this year were as follows: President, Edwin Sonneckeng Vice-President, Markeson Varlandg Secretary, Kay Johns, and Treasurer, Miss Hazel Putnam. , ., , A. 4 ,,f , , k , gym malaria. .lc, jp: JM ,g,:Qgz,. , qw . riffrfrfiaiiigiwv'Qtgmigg ' f ' X sw ..,,,asa,..,fv,3iug5 i s -i gali l -g gggsgg i g i i f- if I ' img? i:: 55l5'f1 '- vif fv y 51923 lilunlap, Xlarqilzirili, lircen. tiustafsou.
