Each annual and each paper, in turn though, was thought the best, and each was the best, because its workers were progressing, continuously climbing toward an objective and changing from the old to the new. The alumni of this school plannedtheir lives' pro- gram while they were in high school, and the alumni that head opening pages of every section of this book are among those that have made prog- ress and have realized their ideals. This realiza- tion could not have been possible had it not been for their desire for progress. The alumni of this institution, like those of all others, have blazed the trail for the present generation. Using decades of school history together with the alumni of Rockford High School, the staff of this 1937 R. H. S. Annual attempts to show some of the progress the High School has made.

H. S. Annual to Hazel G. Putnam, Dean of Girls. 4- ff f jx 4 V' V , -L us'-wzfv'-+! S 731- eaieitfi fs1 ' g bslff-f '- .iS':Q.2ru'2:'4'fg1 LP - ' J rw fe f 'f1ri5,' S-QQ., 1 .

The Hag- pole, in custody of the R.O.T.C., may also be seen. The trees are of special interest to the students of the botany classes because of their variety and number. Page 8 ff fe-X Still guarding all students passing through the doors of the first high school is the time-honored Owl, the symbol of Rockford High. Gaz- ing down this row of buildings, one sees the Old Building, erected in 1884, the Middle Building built in 1900, and the one housing the office and auditorium, added in 1906. Page 9 lnside these vine-covered buildings are study halls 222 and 322. The Junior Class holds its class meetings in 222, at which all activi- ties of the class are organized. just off this room is 223, the room of Miss Hazel Koch, the junior advisor. It is there that the program woes of many juniors are Considered. Page 10 V f l x it r 'Y ,vq,gg,5a, -11 X qw: nz,-in'-'L',51w1ef3f' 1' ,331 fr H,.,,x :-L, wig Eiiiggzs. 'H .

On the right lies the North building erected in 1913, and housing classes in al- most every subject taught at Rockford High. Page 11 fs, JAMES E. BLUE M. A. C olzmzbia U 7?jL'87'J'ifJ' To each of the over eleven thousand alumni, high school meant a rich and happy experience. You recall your favorite teacher, the subjects in which you excelled, the activities in which you participated, and the last- ing friendships which you made. May you, as alumni, provide the same opportunities for the boys and girls of the future. Page 12 W. W. ANKENBRAND Ph. D. New York Unirferfily The seniors of today are the alumni of tomorrow. After the last exami- nation has been passed and the ribboned diploma has been awarded, then comes the school of life itself. My heartfelt hope is that every alumnus will keep up his reading and that every alumnus will feel a life-long de- sire for a continuous educationf' Page 13 W 4 , PAUL S. CONKLIN M. S.

Mr. Haupt has taught in Rockford High School twenty-nine of his thirty-nine years of teaching experience. Since his arrival here in 1908, he has never been tardy. Page 15 Mr. A. Philip Smith was president of the class which was graduated in 1887 from the Central High School, which was housed in what is now known as the Old Building, a re- sult of the consolidation of the East and West Side High Schools in 1884. At the time Mr. Smith was graduated, there were six teachers who taught approxi- mately twenty subjects including astronomy, Greek, and rhetoric. Among many amusing and interesting in- cidents recalled by Mr. Smith was his lunch hour always spent in the gym , an unused room, that was equipped by the students themselves. He remembers also Study Hall 320, then used as an assembly room, to which the students marched daily for morning devo- tions and singing. After graduation, Mr. Smith attended Be- loit College and is now one of Rockford's best known lawyers. 1 ,vp 15, 'A ' 'qv , .1 1. IBEW., 3 W 74 ff ff Q . K? af Nfl shwz, Llp 4 1' lsr' V 59,39 , 4 Q.

This peculiarity is well illus- trated in the case of the Senior President, Harold Nelson, who has been the class leader for four con- secutive semesters. l-le was assisted during the first semester of his senior year by LeRoy Roland, vice- presidentg Barbara Cooling, secretary, and Lucille Gardner, treasurer. In the second semester the only change was that Robert Harvey was elected treas- urer. All were under the guidance and supervi- sion of Miss Ethel Vincent, class advisor. Each Senior class leaving high school with the midyear term celebrates its graduation with early festivities in the form of a banquet, The luncheon is served at the school cafeteria and all arrange- ments are made by student committees although Miss Vincent has charge of the entire affair. It is always a rollicking success, for everyone lends himself to the friendliness of the occasion. This year Jack Heath was appointed the chief toast- master, but he had adequate assistance. Paul Boyn- ton provided humor for the group and varied speeches were given by Marjorie Ruppert, Ralph Jensen, Robert Miller, and several others. Page 46 SENIOR ACTIVIT Publication work is a source of interest to many students, producing as it does, two kinds of projects: one, editorial, the other, business. Albert Eggers this year's Annual editor and his associate editor, Doro- thy Ferguson, are shown above laying plans for the Annual. Former books are often considered and used as guides for the one to be creat- ed. These two are thus engaged as they check layouts for the dummy of the book. Wholly as important to the success of the Annual is its financial side. Jefferson Crawford, business manager, is looking over his receipts from circulation and advertising as he prepares to do his daily banking.

Junior officers are Howard Landstrom, president, Arnold Carl- son, vice-presidentg Margaret Scherff, secretary, Toge Johanson, treasurer. The members of the class of nineteen thirty-eight, like the other Junior classes in past years, have contributed much to the activities of their school. During the fall semester, a class play was presented, class officers were elected, and advertising for the Rockford Senior high school radio program was sent to the home of every Junior by the odicers and their aides. The annual Junior Oratorical contest was held in January. In the spring semester the Junior Class Party was given and according to tradition, some of the outstanding Juniors have been chosen to help with the commencement exercises. The nineteen thirty-six Junior class play, Only Thirty-Eight, was given on the evenings of Friday, November twentieth, and Sat- urday, November twent -first, at the Abraham Lincoln Junior high school auditorium. Those taking part in the play, in the order of their appearance were Oleraldine Marquardt who plzfyed the part of Mrs. Stanley, a young widow, Loraine Bell as Mrs. Newcomb and Marilyn Speake as Mrs. Peters who portrayed the parts of Mrs. Stanley's neighbors, Robert C. Ericson who played Robert Stanley, and Audrey Jane Wagner who played Lucy Stanley, the children of the leading feminine character. Robert Jacobson was Mr. Sanborn, the father of Mrs. Stanley, Kathryn Ryan acted the part of Mary Hadley, Jack Van Duyn played Sydney Johnson, Weldon Luvisi was the leading man, Professor Giddingsg Edward Cronk was Jimmy, Arthur Duree, Charley, and Cynthia Schofield acted the part of Alice. Only Thirty-Eight, written by Augustus E. Thomas, with the plot suggested by Walter Pritchard Eaton, a short story writer, was a comedy in three acts. The play dealt with the life of Mrs. Stanley, a young widow whose children tried to prevent any possible ro- mance she might have with Professor Giddings. Members of the Rockford Senior high school orchestra, under the direction of Mr. June E. Bornor, director of the orchestra, played between acts. In connection with the Junior class play, there was held a Junior play poster contest. The posters were judged on three points, first, for advertising qualitiesg second, artistic ability, and third, for the workmanship. With the judging based on these points, the following people were chosen as winners: Sterling Murphy, first prize, and Gerald Pearson and Edward Cronk tied for second place. In a very spirited election in October the Junior class elected their officers who took charge of the business of the class during the year. These oflicers were President, Howard Landstromg Vice-President, Arnold Carlsong Secretary, Margaret Scherffg and Treasurer, Toge Johanson. These officers, besides taking care of the business of the class of nineteen thirty-eight, conducted several Junior meetings which were held in the Junior study hall. The meetings were held in regard to such business as the finances of the Junior class and the Junior class play. Page 98 4 ff -.kara ki? 'i 1 rilvhffww.

Soon after the Rockford Senior high school inaugurated the .radio program, The Camera Catches Rockford Highj' at the request of Mr. James E. Blue, principal, the Junior class otiicers together with some of their fellow classmen sent post cards to the home of every Junior advertising the program. On Thursday, January twenty-first, the annual Junior oratorical contest was held before a special Junior assembly. Robert C. Eric- son and Evelyn Voss were chosen for first and second places respectively in the oratorical contest. Robert, with his .talk on The Crisis, received as first prize, a loving cup. Evelyn, with her contribution, Price for Peace, won a book of her own choice. Adele Weymouth and Loraine Bell also were chosen from the preliminaries to participate in the final contest. Adele chose as her subject, America at the Cross Roads, and Loraine talked on Women in Politics. Others, who took part in the oratorical contest preliminaries were Ron- ald Schleppy, Marion Saunders, Marion White, Jack Altekruse, William Bixby, Dorothy Jane Norris, and Jane Nelson. Miss Jeanette Anderson, who is now a student in the speech department of Rockford College, acted as final judge for the Junior Oratorical contest. Miss Anderson was the editor of the nineteen thirty-four Rockford Senior high school annual. Every year at Commencement some of the Juniors are asked to help with the exercises. At the nineteen thirty-seven exercises the class of nineteen thirty-eight will furnish the ushers. Juniors also will look after the decorations. The only form of formal social entertainment sponsored by the class of nineteen thirty-eight was the Junior Prom, a formal eve- ning party held in the spring. The Prom was held in the Rockford Senior high school gymnasium. This is always a bright spot in the activities of the Junior program. The gift of the class of nineteen thirty-eight to the school is a small radio set. This set has been placed in the Junior study hall 222 so that pupils may hear important speeches or musical programs. Besides the social activities of a class, there are always the athletic activities to occupy the minds of the students. In the Girls, Ath- letic Association, Clara Sisti was captain of the Junior volley ball team and the Junior girls' swimming team. Among the Junior boys Carlson, who was chosen as nineteen thirty-seven .football captain. In the golf field state golf champion.

He was the first com- mander of the Walter Craig Post, American Legion. Mr. Hunter has served in the state legislature since 1923, following in the foot- steps of his father. During high school Mr. Hunter was vice- president of his class, football captain, base- ball pitcher, basketball player, and track team member. In 1907, baseball was one of the major sports. Sports were the main interest of the high school student body then. There were many class picnics and parties, but otherwise there were very few activities at this time. , jj 'f' ATHLETICS fra.-V115 ATHLETICS Louie Coletta-captain cf the team-good all-round star.

Every so often a coach has to start from scratch and rebuild his team with inexperienced material as the heavyweight coach did this year. Beloit--September 18. Led by Gilmore, Coach Herman jacobson's Little Six champions started their undefeated season with a decisive victory over Rockford, 25-O. Captain Coletta, Stasica, and De- Saix starred for the Rabs. Dixon-September 25. Despite desperate drives and last minute passes, the Red and Black majors lost a heartbreaker to Dixon, 12-7. Dixon's two touchdowns were scored by Gerald Ankeny who swept through the Rockford line for many long gains. Stasica scored the Rabs' only touchdowng and, along with Coletta, played brilliantly for R. H. S. Joliet-October 2. In their first conference game the Rabs showed great improvement by tying the Prison City's Big Seven champions, 7-7. Captain Coletta scored for Rockford when he crossed the goal after a 55-yard drive. A pass, Gates to Barr, counted for Joliet. LaSalle-Peru-October 9. Capitalizing on a blocked punt by Bergquist, Rockford heavies gained their first conference victory, and the first victory of the season, 6-O. Arnold Carlson recovered the ball on the one-yard line, and.DeSaix ploughed through the line for the score. Page 126 I lit.. 1 ATHLETICS Art Donofrio--fast backfleld man-outstanding for his good for- ward passing. Bob Arnold-regular center-hard worker- accurate passer.

The purpose of this squad, coached by Alfred Sabin, was to develop and experience the boys who will be regulars for the next two years. Only underclassmen are allowed on this squad. East Aurora-October 16. A crowd of 6,500 fans saw East Aurora's majors defeat Rockford, 13-7. DebLess scored the two Aurora touchdowns while .1 lateral pass, Stasica to Coletta, counted for the Ra s. Elgin-October 23. A razzle dazzle attack by Elgin spelled defeat for R. H. S., 19-7. Conner, an end, was all over the field catching forward passes, lateral passes, and intercepting passes. Coletta, and Vosburgh's running, and Donofrio's passing were the outstanding feats by Rockford players. Freeport-October 30. The Pretzels gained their first victory over the Rabs since 1925, 13-6. Fye, a freshman, was the outstanding lineman for Freeport. Chiochetti scored for Rockford on a line plunge. ' West Aurora-November 7. Rockford heavies showed their real ability even though they lost to the Blackhawks, 14-13, Chiochetti's line smashes and defensive play, Donofrio's passing, and Coletta's all-round ability showed up in the Rabs' attack.

Rockford B Squad-September 19. With ten new faces in the lineup, the Rablets severely trounced Rockford's B team, 33-0. The pony offense was led by Captain McEntee and Art Johnson who scored twelve and eight points respectively. With such a start great things were expected from the team this year. Dixon-September 25. The second triumph of the season was an exciting one scored against Dixon heavyweight reserves, 6-2. Art Johnson scored the lone touchdown from the one-yard line, ending a forty five-yard drive. Dixon scored when Thomas' punt was blocked and bounced back of the end zone for an automatic safety. Joliet-October 2. Although outplaying the Joliet ponies, Rockford had to be content to leave the field with a 0-0 tie. The Rablets made seven first downs to joliet's four. Captain McEntee and Art johnson played well for Rockford, and Captain Kezerle starred for Joliet. LaSalle-Peru-October 9. The Rablets first conference win was over LaSalle-Peru, 13-0. The play of McGuire in the line and .Captain McEntee in the backfleld was outstanding in the Rablet attack. Goresek and Zevnik accounted for most of LaSalle-Peru's gains. Page 128 nl. ATHLETICS Dick McEntee-captain of the team-good leader and consistent ground gainer. Ross Reed-best place kicker-missed very few points after touchdown.

East Aurora--October 16. R. H. S. lightweights lost their first game this season to East High, 12-6. Captain McEntee starred for the Rab poniesg McElroy for East's ponies. The deciding touchdown came after Rockford's fumble on their own twenty-eight-yard line was recovered by East Aurora. Elgin-October 23. Elgin came to Rockford with their goal line uncrossed only to be defeated by the Rablets, 14-0. This was quite an accomplishment because johnson and Reynolds, Rockford's number one and number two running halfbacks, were both out of the entire game because of in- uries. Freeport-October 23. The Rablets traveled to Freeport but were upset by the Pretzelites, 12-7. Many last minute drives by the ponies were stopped inside the twenty-yard line.

Rockford's lightweights defeated West Aurora, this year's Big-Seven champions, by a score of 7-0, while playing without the services of their captain, McEntee, Palombi, breaking through West Aurora's line, blocked a punt, and recovered the ball. Corbett, acting cap- tain and quarterback, was the star of the game and made the lone touchdown. Page 129 ATHLETIC Johnnie Holmstrom-first string guard-showed much spirit good set shot.

The Pentathlon held on May 27 is considered by many the most important annual event of the sea- son, for it shows the thinclads their relative standing with the rest of the squad. The live events that give this meet its name include the one hundred-yard dash, half mile or eight-eighty-yard dash, shot put, high jump, and broadjump. The winners of last year's pentathlon in the order they placed are Captain Dave Denny, Bill Waston, Gunnar Rahm, Eddie Fissinger, Louis D'Agostin, and Benny Crosby. This standing is arrived at by the number of points they receive for their form and perfection of the event. This year's tracksters are eagerly looking forward to this event.

For the second consecutive year, Coach James Laude's golfers emerged from their season's competition undefeated. The state meet found Rockford talent in third and fifth positions. For the second time, Rockford won an unoliicial state title. At Aurora, the scene of the Big Seven tournament, the Red and Black colors scored the highest. Their total was 345 to 563 of Aurora their closest opponent. Rockford won home matches from Freeport, Dixon, and Beloit. The anticipated outlook for the 1937 season is viewed with optimism, because of four returning lettermen and strong reserve material. Because of the lack of reserve material, Coach Richard Horrall's tennis team did not meet with a great deal of success. The only returning veteran from last year's squad was Isadore Burstein. It was principally through his efforts that the Rab netmen placed third in the Big Seven conference held at West Aurora. After a short time in which the team was conditioned, the season was opened against Beloit on foreign courts which resulted in a tie. The return match at Rockford scored the first victory for the local men. In the intra-squad series, Isaclore Burstein emerged with the crown by defeating Carl Block in the finals, 6-2, 6-3, 6-O.

In September, 1933, the club was organized, replacing the Amazon club. Since that time, the mem- bership has steadily increased, until today there are almost three hundred girls in the club. There are no restrictions placed on the membership of the club. Any girl attending Rockford high school is eligible, and she has her choice of participating in the sports or swimming section. The association meets regularly four times a week. Monday is junior sports, Tuesday is swimming for everyone, Wednesday is Sophomore sports, and the Senior sports meets on Thursday. Both major and minor awards are given. To be eligible, a girl must be above average in responsi- bility and loyalty to the school and the organization. She must have one hundred per cent attendance and be willing to participate in any of the club's activities or tournaments. Another requisite is fault- less conduct. At no time should a member do anything which would undesirably affect the school or the organization. The letters which are given are called the Belfield Award because they were designed by Char- lotte Belfield, a former member. They are red monograms on a black sweater. The Girls' Athletic Association has three distinct aims: the first is to provide an opportunity f 1 Page 138 ATHLETICS Marjorie Ruppert-made most points for Sophomores in swim- ming meet.

Each girl has had twelve semesters of work to her credit and has participated in both the sport and swimming sections. There are fifty-four members now. Last spring the Senior Award was given for the first time. A bracelet, which is made up of a silver chain and the club insignia, is given with the letter awards at a Special Award meeting held near the end of each semester. Miss Mildred Currier and Miss Marion Pierce, directors of the club, have charge of this meeting, and attendance is compulsory. The award is given to the senior girl who has the highest record of service and participation in the club. Because they had records equally per- fect, julie Smith and Dorothy Sharp each won the first award. This year jean Miller was the recipient. Minor awards may be exchanged for the major letters when two extra semesters of work are added to the first records. In order to keep their letters, the members must be passing in all four subjects until they graduate. ' All sports are' organized and refereed exclusively by student assistants, who must be apprentices at least one semester. Present student assistants are Maxine Marshall, Ruth Van Blaricom, Mary Tassoni, Lee Buratti, and Mae Stenling. Page 139 ATHLE Phyllis Brown-seven semesters of work-helpful in club ac tivities.

Members of all tourna- ment teams are nominated from the floor by fellow players, and everyone has an opportunity to vote. In this way the teams are made truly representative. The volleyball tournament played in the fall was definitely won by the Seniors. The juniors and seniors were tied last semester in basketball after an exciting game. The seniors also came out on top in baseball, the tournament being held late in the spring. In each of the groups, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior, one night is set aside for the girls to try out for the swimming meet. The swimmers who receive the highest number of points in each division are winners of preliminaries and are the ones on whom their class depends to win the final meet. Thus the best swimmers represent their class. A contestant is allowed to compete in two of the following divisions: diving, racing, and strokes. Last spring a definite victory belonged to the seniors, for with only hve representatives competing, they piled up a score twice as high as the ratings of the other two classes combined. A medal is given to the girl scoring the highest number of points in each section, and ribbons are awarded to other high scorers.

Throughout the year the G. A. A. members prepare the red and black streamers, and the sales are in charge of the Honor Council. Assigned to the Girls' Athletic Asso- ciation by Principal James E. Blue, the proceeds are used not only for the club, but also for Coach Charles Beyer's track and swimming teams. These colors are worn for the rest of the day and then to the game that night. They not only add color to the game, but they also help to create school spirit stimulus to the team. In the Hrst offering only two hundred-hfty streamers were vendedg over five thousand were sold the last color day. Each meeting is attended by an adviser. This may be either Miss Mildred Currier, the chief adviser, Miss Marion Pierce, the swimming adviser, or another teacher. These assistant advisers do not have an active part in the organization or any active duties, but their constant support and advice mean much to the girls. At tournaments they are sure to be present, and they are always enthusiastic spectators. These co-workers and their sections are: sophomores, Miss Lena Scandrolig seniors, Miss Grace Paul- song and swimmers, Miss Marion Pierce. Page 141 Following Oscar Dahlquist's graduation from high school in 1917, he enlisted as a machine gunner in the World War and be- came a second lieutenant. Following the War, he returned to Augustana College and was graduated with a B. A. He taught school and came to the Boys' Club of Rockford in 1924 where he at present serves as secretary. During high school, Mr. Dahlquist was on the football, basketball, and track teams. As a member of the Boys' Glee Club, he sang at commencement. In Mr. Dahlquist's time, DeKalb was one of the Big Seven schools, but at present La- Salle-Peru has replaced DeKalb. Some of the unusual clubs and organizations were The Philomathean Society, Delphic Society, Cam- era Club, Agricultural Club, Household-Sci- ence Club, R. H. S.

FASCES Fasces-a bundle of rods and an axe carried by the lictors who accompanied high officials at Rome Hliterally, a group bound together for a common purpose: thus runs the vocabulary from which the name of the Latin club was taken. The purpose of Fasces club, composed of those pupils who are taking Latin or have taken that language for two years, is to promote interest in the study of Latin and to provide some social activi- ties for the students. The first Latin club, organized in 1922 by Miss May Dobson, Miss Florence Riddell, and Miss Elizabeth Tendick, ceased to function before the present club was founded in 1925 by Miss julia Shafer, present adviser. The club meets on every other Monday after school when various types of programs are given. Some of these have been slides and a lecture on the Roman houseg a chalk talk on Roman architecture by Elizabeth Belk and other members of the clubg a talk, The Grecian Islands, given by Dr. Mary Braginton from Rockford College. At the beginning of each semester there is an initiation of all new members. At the first semester initiation meeting this year, the new members presented a show for the old members. Valerie Thill presented a dance for the enjoyment of the club. There was also music by different members of the club. During the past year an afternoon party was given in cooperation with the other foreign language clubs.

ESTUDIANTES DE ESPANOL When the Foreign Language club was divided into different clubs in 1936, the E. D. E. was formedg this abbreviation stands for Estudiantes De Espanol. Formerly known as El Circulo Espanol, the club's new name means students of Spanish. The members of the Spanish club, that is, those who have taken Spanish at some time or have a special interest in that language, learn about the various subjects connected with the language of Spain, which are not taught in the classrooms. Miss Isabel Fisher advises Estudiantes De Espanol. At pres- ent there are approximately thirty-tive members. One of the most interesting programs of the year featured a lecture given by Eddie Burgin, presi- dent of the Spanish club, who came from New Mexico. He spoke on the ways and customs of the Mexicans. Another interesting program was a comedy playlet, Una Tragedia de Amor. The cast included Frances johnson, Adella Luhman, Robert Salmon, Edwin Lutz, and Dorothy jane Norris. The Spanish club is afliliated with the Hispanic Institute in the United States whose ofhces are located in New York City. By becoming a member of this organization, the club receives a subscrip- tion to the magazine called Revista Hispanica Moderna , which contains a special section for students, dealing with Spanish art, Spanish literature, Spanish history, Spanish customs, and everything related to Spanish culture. The magazine is, therefore, very valuable to the Spanish club because through it the members are able to follow the activities of the different clubs throughout the country and to gain suggestions for preparing programs. On every other Monday in Room 322, the following officers conducted the meetings of the Spanish club during the Hrst semester: Eddie Burgin, president, Robert Salmon, vice-president, Joan Mulnix, secretaryg Kay Ryan, treasurer. For the second semester officers Spanish students elected Adella jane Luhman, president, Edwin Lutz, vice-presidentg Frances johnson, secretaryg Margaret Scherff, treasurer.

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Le Cercle Francais was founded by Miss Helen Loveless, a French instructor, and a group of ad- vanced French students in 1929. In 1934 the French club, with the other foreign language clubs, was combined into one club, the F.L.S. club. In 1936, these clubs were separated into individual clubs. Twenty-five pupils who have finished at least French I now belong to Le Cercle Francais, which is under the supervision of Miss Sylvia Brewer. The French club gives the French pupils an opportunity to talk French, and creates an interest in the country of France, the French people, their customs, and their language. French songs are sung and French puzzles are worked at the meetings, which are held every other Monday. Often the members play French games, and occasionally jokes and riddles are told in that language. Members of the French club sang French carols at a Christmas program given by the 8-5-3 club last Christmas. Miss Suzanne Bourdon, a French exchange student at Rockford College, spoke for the French students at one of their meetings. At another meeting the entertainment was furnished by the club members: Arthur Duree playing the piano, Irma Colombo and Loraine Bell entertaining with French readings. At one of the meetings during the past semester a French playlet was given by the club members who were most interested in dramatics. This playlet was Boom Boom, which is studied by all French II students. The cast was Bill Duncan, Margaret Mikkelsen, Evelyn Berre, and Virginia Burchett. On November 18 the French club, with the other language clubs, sponsored an afternoon party. Loraine Bell, because of her interest in the afternoon party, and Irma Colombo, because of her spe- cial interest in the French language, are two of the most valuable members in the French club. The officers who during the first semester conducted every meeting entirely in French are Florence Hall, president, Marion Reid, vice-president, Violet Carlson, secretary, Barbara Richie, treasurer. Second semester officers were Florence Hall, president, Marion Reid, vice-president, Barbara Richie, secretary, Evelyn Berre, treasurer. Loraine Bell served as program chairman during the second semester. Page 146 hm. 4 fi if -1 if ii5, g2,gf 1 N Qi 1? '1' 'iw' 1 li i ' w Q, :tu 5 fTop row?

This club, known as Die Deutsche Gessellschaft to German students, meets on alternate Mondays under the direction of Miss Loraine Swanson, their adviser. The twenty-six members of the club either are taking German at present, or have completed two years of German study. Since the club has met together with all the other foreign language clubs for the past two years, it cooperated with them in planning an afternoon party which took place in November. Song fests are a very popular type of program given by the club. Since Germany has an unusually large number of folk songs, Miss Swanson, adviser of the club, gives each member of the club a copy of some of these folk songs. As all of the members sing as loudly as possible, the building resounds with strange words and sounds. Often the meetings consist of German jokes and anecdotes told by club members. Reports on Die Walkure and Lohengrin, Wagnerian operas, have been given by members who have seen or heard them. In order to learn more about Germany, members have been asked to give reports on German scientists and inventions. As a change in program, German games and a play have been presented in German. When the members feel an interest in poetry, German poetry is read and explained before the club. The German club sang German Christmas carols at the 8-5-3 Christmas program. Almost all students enjoy seeing moving pictures, and the members of the German club are no exception. Moving pictures of the Rhine and of Bavaria were educational as well as enjoyable to the club. A movie of Emil und Die Detektive, a book read in German III, presented at Midway was attended by members of the club. First semester officers include: Lucille Eaton, president, Miriam Gustafson, vice-presidentg Ruth Fager, secretary, Elizanne Hanitz, treasurer. The members chose for the second semester Clara jane Fillmore, president, Bob Selby, vice-president and program chairman, Ruth Fager, secretary, and john Gibb, treasurer. Page 147 s.

HI-Y In order to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community higher standards of Christian character, Mr. joe Hauter, Y.M.C.A. State Field Secretary from Chicago, and Mr. Leo Lyons, Head of Recreational Program of Rockford, organized the Hi-Y in 1922. On alternate Wednesdays the sixty members of this organization meet in the auditorium at 7:30 under the direction of Mr. Paul S. Conklin, their adviser. Club activities consist of lectures and socials of a character-building nature. The name Hi-Y was taken from the first two letters in high school and the first letter of Y.M.C.A., the popular abbreviation for Young Men's Christian Association. The Hi-Y is the only organization in Rockford functioning as a Y.M.C.A. group. Any junior or senior boy who feels that the purpose and platform of the Hi-Y are worthy of his services, and will endeavor to support them, is eligible for membership. New members are inducted at the beginning of the first semester and toward the end of the second semester every year. The members keep up their standing in the club by attending meetings regularly, paying their dues promptly, and upholding the platform of the club. The four C's con- stitute the platform of the Hi-Y, they represent Clean Speech, Clean Scholarship, Clean Athletics, and Clean Living. Many social functions and meetings of special interest are provided for Hi-Y members. At the first Hi-Y meeting of the year Mr. Charles A. Beyer of the Rockford Senior high school faculty, told about the trip which he took to Germany last summer to see the Olympics. This talk was particularly interesting for the boys since Bob Packard, former Rockford high school track star who participated in the Olympics, was present. Then to add a spirit of fellowship, Mr. june E. Bornor, Rockford Senior high school orchestra director, led the group in community singing. The Quad-City banquet which was held here on November 20 was a joint meeting of the Hi-Y organizations from Freeport, Belvidere, Elgin, and Rockford. Louis Behr, active in boys' club work in Chicago, who was vice-president of the Rockford Hi-Y in 1925, spoke on Hi-Y training. Page 148 CTop row? Falconer, Nelson, Olson, Van Duyn. fSecond row!

Q r, 33. ti HI-Y Last.December for the hrst time in ten years, the Hi-Y and Tri-Y met together for a pot-luck dinner which was held at the Y.W.C.A. Dr. John Gordon, pastor of the Second Congregational Church, was the guest speaker. December was also an important month because of the annual state Older Boys' Conference which took place in Danville, Illinois, on December 4, 5, and 6. This conference which is sponsored by the State Young Men's Christian Association is attended by boys from fifteen to twenty years of age. The theme of the conference was Youth Faces Its Problems. Representatives from Rockford Senior high school included William Williamson, Burnell Hulten, Arthur Duree, Derwood Lundquist, Eugene Bailey, Ross Reed, Dick Michaelsen, Robert Miller, Peter Noling, and Quintin DeSaix. On june 20-24, the Hi-Y clubs of thirty-seven states together with foreign representatives of Hi-Y clubs from Turkey, China, Siam, Hawaii, and England met at Berea College, of Berea, Kentucky, These boys, together with their leaders, formed the first National Hi-Y Congress. From each club of the state one representative could be sent. The representative from Rockford was Tom Carrico who was accompanied by Mr. Paul S. Conklin. There were various groups and forums at which the boys interested in the same subjects could get together and discuss their particular problems. Since a very beneficial convention was held, the decision was made to hold a National Hi-Y Congress every two years. Two other important events of the Hi-Y every year are the Buddy Banquet and the Father and Son banquet which take place in some Rockford church. Picnics and Sunday morning breakfasts are often sponsored by Hi-Y members. At six-thirty or seven o'clock on bright Sunday mornings in the Spring and Fall, one may find them at Sinnissippi park singing and cooking their breakfast. The last meeting of the year is a picnic. First and second semester officers of the Hi-Y were Quintin DeSaix, president, Richard Michael- sen, vice-president, Philip DuPlain, secretaryg Ross Reed, treasurer, and David Burdick, chaplain.

TRI-Y Members of the Tri-Y as well as three hundred and fifty thousand Girl Reserves in the United States have accepted as their slogan to face life squarely . This organization was founded by mem- bers of the Y.W.C.A. in forty-nine countries. In 1931 the Grace Dodge, Gracia Norton, and the Blue Triangle Clubs united to form the Tri-Y. The Tri , in the name, represents the three sides of the Y.W.C.A. triangle which are Body, Mind, and Spirit. The Y is an abbreviation for Y.W.C.A. The purpose of this club, that is under the auspices of the Y.W.C.A., is to find and give the best . Mrs. Roy Jacobson and Miss Marion A. Howland are the advisers of the club. The members meet each Friday afternoon at 3:45 in the Y.W.C.A. building. Any high school girl is eligible to join, and twice a year new members are taken in at a candlelight ceremony. The Girl Reserves' program for this year included a folk festival, a May breakfast, know-your- city tours, and a Mother and Daughter tea. The symbolic meanings of the three sides of the triangle were also worked into the program. The chief service project of the club was the Gypsy Story Tellers . Members of the club learned various stories, dressed in gay gypsy clothes, and visited the different city institutions, such as chil- dren's wards in hospitals, settlement houses, and children's home. Here their stories were told to at- tentive audiences. The gypsies for this year included Thyra johnson, Evelyn Doris johnson, Margaret Swenson, Nell Cook, Barbara Cooling, Virginia Gustafson, Lauretta jeffrey, Mary Scherff, Dorothy Lee Anderson, Marie Cook, Elsie Victoria johnson, Ruth Dobson, Eloise Allen, and Vivian Carlson. During January a charm school was held in which Mrs. Shaler Smith spoke to the club on Etiquette for Formal Affairs . At another meeting Mrs. Roy Jacobson talked on informal parties, and what to do when the gang drops in . At the third meeting Miss Marion A. Howland, Girl Reserve Secretary, led a question-box program. Tri-Y was hostess to girls from Freeport and Beloit at a Spring Con- ference held in Rockford in April, L fTop rowb Bruscia, Hanson, D.

During the year the club held a splash party in the high school swimming pool. The Tri-Y has participated in monthly broadcasts over WROK since February 5. These programs were from 5:00 to 5:30 on Fridays. Club talent was used exclusively. During the second semester, the members divided themselves into workshop groups which worked on the following projects: pottery making, candle dipping, mask making, puppetry, spatter and batik work with paper, handmade song books with blue suede covers, making of books to contain col- lections of favorite poems, tennis and bowling. Miss Mary jane Neighbour and Miss Frances Rapp, two girls from Rockford College, directed the puppetry and the mask-making workshop.

WALTER HAMPDEN CLUB One of the largest and most popular clubs of the school is the Walter Hampden dramatic club named after the eminent Shakespearean actor and founded by Miss Arva Brady in 1922. At present Miss Eloise B. Smith is its adviser. To study and enact drama of all types and to produce varied types of plays is the purpose and aim of the club and those who join it. Those aspiring to member- ship must try out from trial scripts to quality, junior and Senior play cast members are automatically enrolled as members if they so desire. The present forty-two members meet on the second and fourth Thursdays in each month. Each semester the new members accepted are initiated formally and later informally when they present a program, often including a Little Theatre play. Outstanding members of the club, as chosen by Miss Smith, are David Burdick, first semester pres- ident, and Carolyn Christensen, second semester president, both of whose participations in club plays were outstanding. Recently the club sponsored a Little Theatre Movement, plays presented by members at this time were offered to other members free of charge, and to non-members at tive cents admission fee. Also included in club programs are interesting speakers, among speakers this semester were Peter M. Lundberg, actor, and Mrs. jane Waite Greenslit, reader. The club's social functions began with a bargain dance. A May dance given with the A.B.L. club was the second important activity of the year which was concluded with the annual picnic. The club attended in a body the performance of the Pinocchio Ballet, in accordance with their object of perfection through study. Fifteen dollars contributed with unanimous approval to the Red Cross Flood Relief Fund at the height of the Ohio deluge was the club's contribution to charity.

BOOK CLUB In 1934 when Miss Hazel Koch discovered that there were several students who were very much interested in books, she decided to organize a club. Although there were several students who be- longed then, the membership has risen to seventy active members. This year Miss Lois Dilley has taken charge. In order to join the club the student should be recommended by his English teacher. The only other requirement is that the person should enjoy reading, studying, and making a survey of books. This year fifty members joined the society. At the initiation each was asked to do a stunt, an im- promptu Romeo and Juliet scene, or a humorous talk. The club meets on every other Friday. At one meeting each month they have a guest speaker. At one of their lirst meetings Mr. Frank Edmison who writes the daily column Frankly Speaking in the Rockford Register-Republic gave an interesting talk. Other speakers have given book reviews or have talked on books in general. When there was no speaker scheduled, members of the club gave book reviews, and the club had open discussion. This club offers an excellent opportunity to students who like to talk about books. They have discussed some of the classics as well as the popular books. Lillian Hultman, Sonia Hammer, Virginia Lodin, Betty Odegard, and James Freek have been named as outstanding members. Last year the Book club closed the school year by going to a park where they ate their breakfast before coming to school. This year the members look forward to another picnic breakfast which will bring the nineteen thirty-seven year to a close, For the first semester the club elected the following officers: Virginia Lodin, president, Lillian Hultman, vice-president, Betty Odegard, secretary, James Freek, treasurer. During the second semester officers were as follows: Carole Reifschneider, president, Margaret Mundt, vice-president, Robert Olson, secretary, and Phyllis Smith, treasurer.

CLUB Those who are familiar with French know that the meaning of A.B.L., which stands for Admira- trices des Belles Littres , is Admire1's of Beautiful Literature . This club was organized by Miss Lillian Remsburg, an instructor of English, in 1922, the present adviser is Miss julia Joslin. Only Junior or Senior girls with at least a B average in English are eligible for membership in A.B.L. The new members are initiated at a banquet which is held in the Rockford Senior high school cafeteria. After the dinner the new members display their talents before the old members of the club. To keep up her standing in the club, each member must obtain the required number of points which are given for attendance, dues paid promptly, and appearance on programs. The programs at the meetings, which are held on alternate Tuesdays, have included several outside speakers. Miss Lucie Frankenburg, junior high school exchange teacher from England, talked about English schools and the lives of the English girls of their age. At another meeting, Doctor Herbert Penzl, professor of German at Rockford College, showed how the life of the German school girl differs from that of either the English or American school girl. The most outstanding accomplishment of the club is the awarding of the A. B. L. Cup each june to the senior girl ranking highest in scholarship and service to the school. Social functions are also sponsored by the A. B. L. club. In May the A. B. L. planned a Spring Dance. Flowers and spring colors brought out the gaiety of the occasion. Then, too, to announce the arrival of May-day, the girls prepare May baskets for all the English teachers in the school. At a picnic given later in the spring, olficers for the coming semester are elected. Last spring the girls elected the following odicersz Carol Cibelius, president, Marion Grimes, vice-president, Virginia Lodin, secretary, Margaret La Grande, treasurer, Charlotte Harvey, program chairman. Second se- mester officers were Mary Eleanor Weld, president, Katherine Bingham, vice-president, Lora Jeanne Woolsey, secretary, Adella Luhman, treasurer, Loraine Bell, program chairman.

RAB AUTHORS In 1924 Miss Mellie john, of the English department, founded the Rab Authors to further the cause of creative writing. Membership is gained by the composition of two articles to show the originality for which each prospective member was recommended by his English teacher. Miss Maud Weinschenk is the present adviser of the Rab Authors club. Both afternoon and evening parties for everyone in the high school are sponsored by the cluhg Christmas party, for club members, and an annual picnic, at Sinnissippi Park. At the meetings, which usually occur the first and third Thursdays of each month, writings are presented to the club by the original writer, in monologue or playlet form. An informal talk on original writing given by Frankly Speaking, Mr. Frank Edrnison of the Rockford Register-Republic staff, was a high-light of the first semester program. Another outstanding program was a talk on Script Writing by John McCloy, WROK program director and secretary. The Rab Authors write all types for discussion-essays, poetry, stories. Fourteen points of service are required to retain membership in the Rab Authors club. Points are gained for holding ofhces, participating in programs, and for writing original work for the club. One of the activities of the year was the selling of tags by Rab Authors members to aid the band in purchasing new uniforms. The usual party for the initiation of new members is held each semester. In the Rab Authors club of seventy members the most prominent are jack Price, Robert Swenson, Marilyn Speake, Katherine Bingham, Robert Shugart, Elizanne Hanitz, George Foster, and Marjorie Larsen, whose interest and service have been important to the success of the club.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to assist the librarian Regular meetings are held on Mondays during the home room period. The Christmas party and an afternoon dance are the two social functions of the group. The dance in charge of Mary Virginia Eiler and Alice Willsey with Robert Schuldt, president, assisting was held on March 9. To everyone who attended the party, shamrocks were distributed since the theme of the dance was St. Patrick's Day. This year the library has undergone several changes: the reserve section moved, and the rest of the books rearranged, and a great many new books added to the library. Throughout the year the library has had a number of displays: a new books display informed the student what new books had been purchased, favorite books of outstanding students were exhibited travel books provided an interesting display, and science, ships, astronomy, and movies served as subjects for other displays. Besides several other books exhibits, there was a hobbies exhibit Those who contributed to this exhibit were Toge Johanson, David Daer, Robert Tucker, David Burdick Bob Beatty, Robert J. Fuller, Arthur Duree, Frank Pipitone, and Nicholas Roland. For the week of March 1 to 5 a committee consisting of Albena Stassi, Maxine Williams, Mary Ellen Story Shirley Smith, and Lilah Mae Wolfensperger arranged a hostess exhibit.

Aceraceae is the Latin name of the Maple family, but since not all students are familiar with Latin, the club is called the A. B. C. club. In order to further the interest of the students in botany, and to carry this interest beyond the classroom, Mr. Lamont Clikeman, of the science department, organized the club last September. Thirty-live members meet on alternate Thursdays in Mr. Clikeman's room. The A. B. C. club belongs to the junior Academy of Science of Illinois, which is made up of science clubs of the high schools and colleges in the state. The purpose of this organization is to provide a common meeting ground for all young people interested in science as a hobby and as constructive research. 'The rnost inaportant event of the year for the zaceraceae club is the fjonference of the Academy which is held each spring. Last spring the conference to which most active members were sent as delegates was held at Rockford College. Club members have found that field trips made by the club are great fun as well as educational. Last October at six o'clock one Saturday morning they drove to Kilbuck Forest Preserve, Upon arriving there, they prepared breakfast and then set out to gather specimens of weeds, leaves, and fruits for class work. Since the October trip proved so popular, another trip was planned for November. This time the club visited the greenhouse at Sinnissippi Park. Here the club members studied the plants mentioned in class and observed other plants and the greenhouse methods of sprouting, transplanting, and feed- ing. The A. B. C. club hopes to improve the botany department by increasing interest in the class- room studies and by adding rare specimens which are collected and given to the school for class study. First semester officers included Shirley Mershon, president, Carol Jacobs, vice-president, Doris Williams, secretary, and Virgil Kittle, treasurer. During the second semester, the meetings were conducted by Marjorie Nelson, president, Bernice Bakken, vice-president, Doris Willizlms, secretaryg and Roy Carlson, treasurer.

COMMERCIA CLUB In 1929, under the direction of Mrs. Lucille Burgoon, the Commercia club was founded by a group of students from various shorthand classes. Its purpose is to make the prospective business girls better acquainted with the ideas of the business world and to further their interest in com- mercial activities. The name Commercia was formed by attaching a Latin ending to the word commerce and each letter of the word stands for a quality which every girl, whether she is a member of the club or not, should strive to obtain. They are character, orderliness, manner, memory, enthusiasm, reliability, cooperation, initiative, and and accuracy. In order to become a member of this club, the students must pass a shorthand test according to the semester of shorthand in which they are enrolled. As these tests can be passed by all possessing average ability in that type of work, few are refused membership, however, a girl must have also an average of C or above in shorthand before she is eligible to join. At the present time forty-four girls answer to roll call. According to club rules any member that is absent more than three times is dropped. The dues for old members are fifteen cents and twenty-tive cents for new ones. Miss Pearl Ritchie is the adviser of the club, which meets on every other Monday. Often the girls listen to musical programs given by fellow students. A fifteen-minute shorthand practice is included in each meeting. The club members have experienced an interesting trip to the Gas and Electric building. Social activities during the year included a banquet given once during each semester for the mem- bers, and an afternoon party for any R. H. S. student. Upon entering the club the new members receive both a formal and informal initiation. The first semester oilicers were Frances Rafferty, presidentg Jean Strote, vice-president, Dorothy Morgan, secretary, and june Flanders, treasurer. The second semester othcers were june Flanders, presidentg Joyce Mund, vice-president, Dorothy Morgan, secretary, and Frances Rafferty, treasurer.

The three hundred and fifty members enrolled at present are under the direction of Miss Edith Whiting with Miss Vera Hunter as her assistant. Meetings are held the second and fourth Thursdays of every school month. Since 8-5-3 is an unusual name, it is necessary to explain that the numbers stand for the position of the letters in the alphabet. Eight stands for Hg five, Eg and three, C, which signify history, economics, and civics respectively. This club was formed to promote interest in social science and the application of its principles. The club's popularity is maintained partly by the interesting programs planned by Jeanette Best, Grace Hawkinson, and Henry Coretz. One very entertaining speaker was Miss Lucie Frankenburg of Lincoln Junior high school who is an exchange teacher from England. Suzanne Bourdon, a French girl studying at Rockford College, compared France and America. At another meeting Mr. Guy Bingham, Rockford photographer, showed colored movies of Alaska. The 8-5-3 club is noted for its many activities. Money was donated for beautifying the school lawn, and, shortly after school started, a flag was presented to the R.O.T,C. for the school flag pole. Each year the club gives an afternoon dance and an evening party on Saint Valentine's Day. Initiation of new members is held at the second meeting of each semester. During the first semester the initiation was held at Sinnissippi Park. Both new and old members played baseball and other games. In the formal initiation the new members repeated the club creed after the president, Richard Wfolfley. This was not the only picnic given by the club, for as soon as Spring crept around again, other picnics were planned with just as much success. The Hrst semester officers were Richard Wolhey, president, justin McGee, vice-presidentg Barbara Cooling, secretary, and James Freek, treasurer, The second semester officers were John Early, presi- dent, Philip DuPlain, vice-president, Gladys Winchester, secretary, and Margaret Haley, treasurer.

This club was conducted as a bazaar, the members making various kinds of artistic work and selling them. The purpose of the Paint and Palette club was somewhat like that of the present club-to interest the pupils in the art of nature and to make sketches of outdoor life. The purpose of the present club is to help people understand and enjoy art. In 1932, when the Paint and Palette club did different kinds of artistic work for the Owl and the Annual, it was named the Daubers club, so named because the members were always experimenting with different things. Miss Floy Dentler at this time took over the position of adviser for the club, and she has held that position since. The present art club averages twenty-five to thiry members. To be a member of the Daubers one either must have taken some art or have become interested in that subject. Three successful ice cream sales have been held by the art club which has also sponsored a Christ- mas party and a spring party. One of the most interesting programs of the year was a talk given by Mr. Calvin Countryman, local interior decorator, who spoke on the subject of interior decorating. A portrait painted by Miss Anna Coy was given to the art department by the Daubers club. The art club has made several visits to the Burpee Art Gallery, accompanied by their adviser, Miss Dentler, who explained the pictures to the members of the club and told something of the back- ground of each picture. At the beginning of the first semester Miss Dentler and the members of the club experimented with leather and metal. Leather purses and bracelets were the products of their experimentations. Dorothea Eickmeyer, president, Marion Elfers, vice-president, Mary Lou Schmaling, secretary, and john Whitcomb, treasurer, conducted the meetings during the first semester. The onicers for the second semester were Dorothea Eickmeyer, presidentg Jeanette Peters, vice-president, Mary Lou Schmaling, secretaryg Marion Elfers, treasurer.

In 1924, the Seco club was founded by Mrs. Ethel Frank, who was then an instructor, to strengthen the relationship between home and school and to provide social activities for the girls interested in home economics. Miss Camilla Johnson is now carrying out this platform of the club. The name Seco has Se representing sewing and co which stands for cooking. The club is aliiliated with both the American Home Economics and the Illinois State Home Economics Associations. To become a member of the Seco club one must have an interest in home economics and a grade of C for a semester of study in home economics either in ninth grade or high school. This year the new members were initiated at an informal meeting on October 12 when each one did a stunt from a punch board. The formal initiation at which the vow was taken was on November 9. At the regular meetings, held on the first and third Mondays of each month, the officers provided for a program. Chapters from The Etiquette of Beauty are sometimes discussed by club members. Alice Willsey, who went to California last summer, gave a talk covering the trip and illustrated it by post cards and other pictures. Before several big athletic games the Seco club sold red and black pennants with R.H.S. printed on them. Another activity of the club was a Christmas party on December 14 at which gifts were ex- changed. There was no program, but the social chairman had several contests which were very enter- taining. For refreshments ice cream in paper cups and cookies were served. Outstanding members of the club are Catherine Windemuth, Laura Hoover, Virginia Meyers, Alice Willsey, Anna Marie Hackling, and Ruth Nelson. The ofhcers for the first semester were Laura Hoover, president, Catherine Windemuth, vice- president, Virginia Meyers, secretary, Flora jane Breckenridge, treasurer, and Alice Willsey, program chairman. Flo.a jane Breckenridge, president, Harriet Daugherty, vice-presidentg Marlette Sandell, secretary, Anna Marie Hackling, treasurerg and Marjorie Nelson, program chairman, conducted the meetings during the second semester.

BOYS' GLEE CLUB One of the most active clubs in Rockford high school is the Boys' Glee club which meets on Tues- days and Thursdays during the sixth period with Miss Sarena Dunton as their adviser. On Fridays the club meets with the Girls' Glee club. The purpose of this group is to provide an opportunity for boys to sing in four-part male choruses. There were twenty-six members in the club the first semester, but the membership for the second semester swelled to thirty-two. In the fall and in the spring the club initiates its new members at a picnic in Sinnissippi park. In order to become a member a student must have a good voice and the ability to read bass or tenor in part music. A member to retain his membership must appear whenever the organization sings on a program. The club uses standard male chorus music as well as that which is written especially or them. This year the state chorus representatives were Harold Nelson, Elmer Peterson, Wayne Julian, Harwood Catlin, and Philip DuPlain. The double quartet members were Wayne Julian, George Rubin, Edward Westin, Laverne Hornbeck, Fred Sculley, Philip DuPlain, Harwood Catlin, and Weldon Luvisi. Three of the sophomore quartet, Charles Robinson, John Key, and Raymond Carlson, are members of the Boys' Glee club. The cantata for the January concert was the Song of Man by Kountz. Solos were sung by Elmer Peterson and Wayne Julian. Fred Sculley and Toge Johanson also took part. One of the outstanding assemblies of the year is the Christmas Assembly. The Boys' Glee club participated in two nurr.bf.rs from Messiah. During the week before Christmas the boys took part in the singing of Christmas carols in the halls. The Boys' Glee club together with the Girls' Glee club sing at the baccalaureate service every year. They also take part in the operetta, which this year was Mikado by Gilbert and Sullivan. The oliicers for the first semester were Fred Sculley, presidentg Toge Johanson, vice-president, Har- old Nelson, secretary, Donald Bate, treasurer, Elmer Peterson, librarian, Virginia Torgerson, pianist. Second semester officers included Wayne Julian, president: Elmer Peterson, vice-president, Harold Nelson, secretary, Toge Johanson, treasurer. s Page 162 tTop row?

The Girls' Glee club provides an opportunity for all girls in the Senior high school with treble voices to sing the very best choral music. Every Monday and Wednesday, during sixth hour in room 564, the club meets. On Fridays all of the glee clubs combine to form the Mixed Glee club. Miss Sarena Dunton, music instructor, directs the club which consists of thirty-eight members. A very good singing voice and the ability to sing part songs are the only requirements to become a member of the organization. The activities of the club are numerous and varied. At intervals during the year it sponsors taffy apple sales. Each fall and spring its members gather at Sinnissippi park for a picnic outing, at this time the initiation of new members is held. One of the high lights of the Christmas season is the assembly at which the combined musical organizations present the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah. During Christmas week the glee club sings carols in the school corridors. In addition to the many concerts given in the school, the glee club presents many programs in the community. In january it sang at the Bethesda Covenant Church. The glee club also furnishes music for the baccalaureate services. Outstanding members of the Girls' Glee club are the State Chorus representatives: Angeline Spainhower, Mildred Spainhower, Virginia Snively, and Betty Youngberg. The girls of the mixed ensemble, also outstanding members, are Carolyn Carlberg, Phyllis Erickson, and Audrey Erickson. This group, made up of all seniors, will sing for the Senior high school commencement exercises. In the spring the Glee club combined with other singing groups to present the Mikado by Gilbert and Sullivan. Leading parts were played by the following: Harold Nelson, Nanki-Poo, Betty Young- berg, Yum-Yum, Elmer Peterson, Ko-Ko, Fred Sculley, Pooh-Bah. Supporting roles were played by Angeline Spainhower, Ruth Shapley, William Duck, George Rubin, and Eddie Cronk. The officers for the year were Betty Youngberg, president, Phyllis Erickson, vice-president, Jeannette Smith, secretary, Dorothy Peterson, First semester treasurer, Marcelyn Anderson, second semester treasurer, Edyth Remsburg, librarian, Irene Clapp, robe custodian, Virginia Torgerson, pianist.

TREBLE CLEF CLUB For six years the Treble Clef club, so called because that symbol indicates the clef from which the girls sing, has graced the curriculum of Rockford high school. lt was first organized in 1931 by Miss Sarena Dunton, who directed it until this year. The organization, consisting of thirty-eight members, is now supervised by Miss Florence Lovejoy. It was established as a club sans males for the purpose of giving vocal development to those girls who can sing well and independently and have a liking for group singing. Other qualifications are one semester of previous junior or senior high school training, knowledge of the most advantageous use of the voice, and a pledge of fidelity, industry, and appearance with the club when it gives programs. Each of the girls is eligible, after a semester of work, to try out for one of the elected groups, the A Cappella Choir or the Glee club. Thus the vocal experience gained in Treble Clef gives the girls an opportunity to join the choir or glee club early in their high school career. Like the A Cappella Choir, the club usually puts its new members through initiatory procedure at picnics in the fall and spring. The outstanding members, as chosen by Miss Lovejoy, are Shirley Mershon, Marjorie Anderson, Marion Atwood, Martha Peterson, Carol Jacobs, Doris M. johnson, Fern johnson, Rosemary Folgate, june Erickson, and Barbara Richie. The first eight named have been members of a mixed ensemble. Marjorie Anderson was a member of the State Chorus this year. During the sixth hour on Mondays and Thursdays, when the club meets, programs are prepared and songs practiced for such occasions as Cantatas, the annual Christmas program, or the operetta. The ensemble sang at a Grange meeting, at the A Cappella Choir concert, and over radio station WROK. During the lirst semester, Barbara Richie was president, Esther Zahn, vice-president, Marjorie An- derson, secretary, Carol Jacobs, treasurer, june Erickson, librarian. Second semester officers were Shirley Mershon, president, Marlette Sandell, vice-president, june Erickson, secretary, Dorothy Hinde, treasurer, Doris M. Johnson, librarian.. Page 164 S!

A CAPPELLA CHOIR The year 1957 sees the seventh anniversary of the A Cappella Choir, which was founded in Sep- tember, 1930, by Miss Sarena Dunton. The organization has grown from a membership of only twelve vocalists to the present membership of fortyvfour who meet daily with Miss Dunton. The purpose of the choir is to give to those musical students who have a good singing voice, an accuracy of intonation, and a proficiency in sight-reading an opportunity to know and sing the best choral composition. During the course of the year the A Cappella Choir has sung at the Rotary, Kiwanis, and Lions clubs, at the State Farmers' Association, at the funeral of Mrs. Mary McCoy Pierce, a former music supervisor, and at several churches, including the First and Third Presbyterian, Bethesda, Swedish Baptist, and First Baptist. At the annual winter concert in the school auditorium, the chairmen of the ticket, publicity, and decorations committees were, respectively: jean Miller, Douglas Homs, and Angeline Spainhower. Other annual functions for which the choir sings are the baccalaureate services and the Christmas program. As designated by Miss Dunton, the outstanding members of the choir are Fred Sculley, Elmer Peterson, Eugene Crouch, Olive Williams, Barbara johnson, Bette Ekstrom, Roy Anderson, Marjorie Anderson, and Betty Youngberg. The following were sent as representatives of all the music department to Urbana for the State Chorus in November: Wayne julian, Elmer Peterson, Harwood Catlin, Philip DuPlain, Angeline and Mildred Spainhower, Virginia Snively, Marjorie Anderson, Betty Youngberg, and Jeanette Best. During the first semester Wayne julian was president, Angeline Spainhower, vice-president, Fred Sculley, secretary-treasurer, Alice Brandt, librarian, Mildred Spainhower, robe custodian. During the second semester Fred Sculley held the ofhce of president, Alice Brandt, vice-president, Betty Youngberg, secretary, Elmer Johnson, treasurer, Gladys Chockley and Angeline Spainhower, libra- rians, Bette Ekstrom and Marjorie Anderson, robe custodian.

JUNIOR GLEE CLUB There were so many girls capable of doing chorus work who wanted to belong to the Girls' Glee club and the Treble Clef club that the membership became too great. This number made necessary the organization of a new group, September, 1934, known as the junior Glee club. The junior was to distinguish it from the other glee clubs. In the Senior high school this was the hfth musical group to be organized. At the present time there are approximately twenty-eight active members, the majority of the members being sophomores who will be able to continue next year. Under their present adviser, Miss Florence Lovejoy, the club meets'on Mondays and Wednesdays of each week. The principal objective of the club is to provide an opportunity for the members to participate in group singing. The club also gives the members some voice training as well as experience in singing part music. To become a member of the club the student must have a singing voice. She must also have the ability to carry a part in group singing. New members are taken into the club twice a year. Each member is required to appear on every program in which the club participates. During the week before Christmas the junior Glee club took part in singing carols throughout the halls of the school. The most outstanding assembly of the first semester was the Christmas program in which the club with the other musical organizations participated. The junior Glee club assisted in the operetta Mikado presented by the musical societies of the school last April. The following five members of the organization have been named as most outstanding: Marion Schrom, Phyllis Carlson, Elaine Sandell, Muriel Nordell, and Lillian Forrest. The officers for the first semester were Violette Stakemiller, president, Marion Schrom, vice-presi- dentg Dorothy Gale, secretary, Ahlene Hopkins, treasurerg Phyllis Carlson, librarian. The second semester officers were the following: Dorothy Anderson, president, Mary Lou Enders, vice-president, Carolyn Anderson, secretary, Ahlene Hopkins, treasurer, Patricia Miller, librarian.

MUSIC APPRECIATION CLUB With Miss Florence Lovejoy of the music department as their leader, a group of students started the Music Appreciation club in the Spring of 1935, for the purpose of enlarging the students' scope of musical knowledge. The one and only qualification for membership is a genuine interest in good music. This principle of good music is carried over in the club programs: recordings of classic and higher class music are played, and oral reports on music and musicians, especially the contemporary, are given. Mr. Mallory Bransford, organist, and Mrs. Kathleen De Long, harpist, are two of the several local musicians who have entertained at these programs, some of which are open to the entire student body. It has been made a special aim of the club to further the interest in local talent in school as well as outside, talented students are always recognized and warmly welcomed by the club as brother enthusiasts of the art. The club meets every other Monday and when one has three inexcused absences he is auto- matically dropped from the club. This year, being interested in the opera, the club went in a body to Chicago to attend the Chicago Civic Opera Company's presentation of Lal-:men by Delibes, and to the Coronado Theater to hear Il Trovatore by Verdi. Before attending them they received, by means of recordings and reports, the story and musical background of each. One of the afternoon parties held during the course of the year was sponsored by the Music Appre- ciation club on january 20. Every Spring and Fall the club has some sort of celebration. Last Fall the members went on a hayride, contrary to their usual custom of having a picnic. As elected by the club, the first semester oflicers were Donald Bate, president, jean Carson, vice- president, Marjorie Ruppert, secretary, Martha jane Coil, treasurer, Alice Brand, librarian. During the second semester jean Carson was president, Angeline Spainhower, vice-president, Mary McDon- ald, secretary, Alice Brandt, treasurer, Barbara Kingman, librarian.

F, A. or Future Farmers of America. The local chapter of this national organization was founded in September, 1956, by Mr. George Reed, Rockford senior high school science teacher, who is the adviser of the group of twenty members. The club was organized in the hope of encouraging recreational and educational activities for the students of vocational agriculture. The F. F. A. constitution of the state of Illinois gives to a boy fourteen years of age or older, en- rolled in a class in vocational agriculture and possessing a satisfactory program of supervised practice, the right of membership in any Illinois chapter. Moreover, the initiation of new members is regu- lated by the state organization and is a formal procedure. Leaders in agriculture are the usual guest speakers at club meetings. Among these during the last year was Mr. Harold Jepson, assistant county agent, who spoke on the value of agricultural study in the high school. Outstanding among social functions of the year was the Father and Son Banquet which took place on March 25. Other activities included livestock and crop-judging contests spon- sored by a group of Illinois F. F. A. chapters at which the Rockford F. F. A.'s colors, gold and national blue, were represented. The livestock fair held in the Fall is followed later in the year by a grain show. Project tours held in the Spring take inventory of the projects of the farm lads. Being a comparatively new club, the F. F. A. has contributed only a little to school activities, its principal recreational projects are carried on with inter-state chapters. Nevertheless, its one term of organization has advanced agricultural interest in the high school group to such an extent that the club may look forward to other years of activity with other Future Farmers of America. Meetings, which are held in the agriculture classroom are in charge of the following olhcers: james Reid, president, Wallace Carlson, vice-president, Earl Garrett, secretary, Edward Savage, treasurer, Wesley Johnson, reporter.

RAB VARSITY CLUB ln naming their organization, the Rab Varsity club took the first letter of red and black . Mr. Arthur Lundahl, Mr. James Laude, Mr. Charles Beyer, and Mr. Clarence A. Muhl, athletic coaches, organized this club in 1927. There were then about thirty members, now there are over forty. Mr. Arthur Lundahl is the club's adviser. The purpose of this club is to promote a better spirit among the athletes of the Senior high school who aim to be of service to all of the various athletic contests of the school. At all of the tournaments they have had charge of the Hoor and have ushered. Besides helping at the track meets, the members have been scorers at the different athletic contests. In order to become a member of the Rab Varsity club, the student usually is a winner of an athletic letter. He may, however, be a manager of some of the athletic teams, or a cheerleader. It is the custom of the club to initiate their new members during the Christmas and Spring vacations. It was arranged this way so that the football letter-winners would be included in the first initiation, and the letter-winners of the other athletic activities in the second. As this letter club is not particularly a social one, there are no programs at the meetings which are held on Mondays in 122. However, these business meetings are often followed by a baseball game or a swim. Nevertheless, the club has some social activities. Among them are an afternoon and an evening party. In the Spring the club has a stag picnic. Floyd Haegstrom and Robert Harvey have proved themselves outstanding in swimming. George Ray, Quintin DeSaix, and james Hoxie have been named as club leaders for their work in football. Of course, all of the members of the club must be leaders in at least one field of athletics since they have won a letter. The officers for the first semester were Floyd Haegstrom, president, George Ray, vice-president, Quintin DeSaix, secretaryg Kenneth Lowe, treasurer. Second semester officers were Quintin DeSaix, president, Fred Hoegberg, vice-president, Robert Arnold, secretaryg Gunnar Rahm, treasurer.

A. salutes Cadet Major Robert Keyes in the Honor School inspection held in the high school stadium last May. Captain Paul C. Howe, commander of the unit in the past four years, looks on. Captain Howe was forced to retire last December due to a heart ailment. The cadet corps won Honor School rating for the thirteenth time in fourteen years. Scenes reminiscent of the world war days occurred when the R. O. T. C. battalion entrained for the Sixth Corps Area meet at Beloit last May. The prize platoon pic- tured, commanded by Lieutenant Robert Miller, won the distinction of being the best junior platoon of the corps area. Picked by Captain Howe the platoon contained only cadets outstanding in close order drill. Guides of the unit were Sheldon Suess and Carl Edward Carlson, left and right front rank. Regular company inspection is an important event on the R. O. T. C. schedule. The cadets are inspected by the P. M. S. and T. of the corps or by a visiting officer. Cadet Captain Raymond Carlen, the inspecting officer Major George S. Clarke of the regular army, sponsor Charlotte Harvey, and Captain Howe judge the cadets of company D, as to appearance. Cadets are Cleft to rightj Sheldon Suess, Robert Pickering, Arthur Duree, Robert Shedd, and Morris Guirl. Sergeant Earl Foutch inspects one of the awards pre- sented at the outdoor competitive drill held May 1936 in the high school stadium. Raymond Carlen, Charles Reed, Dominec Correvassi, and Burton Page also look over awards which include cups for the best all-round companyg best company, platoon, and squad drills, and an American Legion saber which is given each year to the best company commander.

Members were chosen from the four study halls. Until its tenth anniversary the Council remained a double organization, at that time Mr. Paul S. Conklin took it over and organized it as a single group. In 1929 the council membership was again reorganized on the home-room basis under Miss Hazel G. Putnam. The Student Council prepared a handbook of informa- tion about the school in 1927. This year the Council is adding to its publications by preparing a book of eti- quette. The committee for the project is shown in the third picture from the top: those seated are Robert Bo- din, Virginia Lodin, Pearl Lillyquist, and Jeanette Smithg those standing are Shirley Edgar, Gwendolyn Swenson, and Hildegard Metzkes. In the top picture the president of the Student Council, William Ereek, is discussing financial plans with Robert Lindley, treasurer, and Roger Fisher, secretary. Equally as important as this committee of officers is the execu- tive committee in the second picture from the top: Shir- ley Edgar and Vera Friberg are seated at the table wait- ing to write down suggestions offered by Donald An- derson, William Ereek, and Jean Carson. The Council has no initiation program except a formal introduction of each new member to the group. This year's newest members, the sophomores, beginning with the top row, are Bennett, Zamutog D. Pearson, McGin- nis, Lindquist, Severson, Moran, Randall, Grip, Lobdell, Tucker, Everson, Chirvinskig J. Anderson, Witt, Petrit- is, Grunertg W. johnson, Gaziano, Sommer, D. Ander- song L. Pearson, M. Williams, Attridge, Gertzg B. Marston, and Born.

In the federal inspection the entire battalion is personally inspected by a regular army officer. Second semester officers were headed by Cadet Major Jack Werner. Captains were Lind, Johns, Thompson, and Car- man, first lieutenants, Hom- mema, Holly, johnson and Strand, second lieutenants, C. Carlson, Gustafson, Gaziano, Beckington, Lindsay, Suess, Duree, Ericson, and R. Carl- son. Marching in parades is another activity of the R. O. T. C. Cap- tain Howe with the headquarters staff precedes the unit in the Memorial Day parade last year. The staff includes Cadet Major Miller and Adjutants Blackwell and Carrico. Responsibility of raising and lowering the high school flag is given to the R. O. T. C. Ward Thompson assists George Foster in putting up the flag while Bill Becker, William Carlson, and Eugene Strand stand nearby. Cadet Major Robert Miller topped the list of first semester commissions. Wortman, Jensen, Michaelsen, and Carlen were captainsg Carrico was first lieu- tenant, second lieutenants were Carman, johnson, Strand, Black- well, Lind, Werner, johns, Thompson, Holly, Hommema, and Gustafson.

Those who fired in the match are Drewer johns, Ward Thompson, David Hacker, captain and shown holding the award, Robert Miller and Robert Flood. The same team, coached by Captain Howe, also won second hon- ors in the Sixth Corps area match. In 1934 Captain Paul C. Howe, retired P. M. S. and T., founded what is now the annual Parents, Night. At first it was held in the school, but because of the interest in the affair, it is now staged in the National Guard Ar- mory where last December it drew an attendance of 5,000 people. With the large floor space it was possible for the first time to have battalion calisthenics indoors. Following the competition, winners of the drill were named and awarded. Captain Ralph Jensen won com- pany drill, Lieutenant jack Werner, platoon drill, and Dan Dever, squad drill. Other winners were William Carlson, best third semester cadet, Gene Bailey, best first semester cadet, Elwyn Bailey, best open manual, Roger Westberg, best recruit manual, Edward Haga- man, best second semester cadet, and james MacCallum, best fourth semester cadet. Marksmanship training is essential in a R. O. T. C. course, therefore, all cadets are taught to use a rifle properly, however, very few make the rifle team. Isaac Jacobsen, Ward Thompson, jack VanDuyn, Sigurd johnson, captain of the team, Drewer johns, Robert Carlson, Ray Ginestra, Frank Stassi, john Carlson, Robert Fuller, Bill Becker, and Ben LaMaster compose the team which this year won the Sixth Corps area match.

This year headed by its able editor, Roger Porter, and assistant editor, Georgia Haseman, it has won fourth place in the high school contest held by Columbia Scho- lastic Press Association. International Honor was awarded the Owl by the Quill and Scroll in September 1936. Under the careful supervision of its adviser, Miss Kath- arine H. Obye, it has carried on the fine reputation which it has upheld since it was first founded in 1890. In addition to editing the Owl, the staff members have sponsored several special assemblies during the year. At the annual publications banquet in March the staff was the host of faculty, alumni, friends and parents. During the Fall the Owl sent representatives to the Big Seven Press Conference which was held at West Aurora. Later in the Fall the editors and the business manager, jefferson Crawford, went to Urbana to at- tend the High School Press Conference at the Univer- sity of Illinois. In the Spring the most important staff members were sent to the Medill Press Conference at Northwestern University. Very industrious and valuable workers who have helped the Owl maintain its line standard are shown here as they perform their duties.

Cynthia Schofield, a reporter, is tak- ing pointers. Ready to go to press, the Owl demands attention of Walter Dobnick, George Nelson, Robert Bonzi, Sheldon Knight, Mr. Clarence Sulli- van, Board of Education printer, and Melvin Nelson, who are in charge of making up the paper. Other high school publications workers read and appraise the Owl even as Owl workers read and judge incoming newspapers. Ruby Alexander, jean Allen, and Lorraine Olson, Owl exchange workers, are seen sending and receiving publications. The financing of the Owl de- pends greatly upon the adver- tisements of which Peter Noling is in charge. To him Dorles Caldwell and George Foster bring the advertisements of city restaurants, theatres, department stores and other advertisers. Friday morning finds jefferson Crawford, business manager of the Owl, and Delores Shevland, Owl circulation manager, as- signing to Betty johnson, june Motter, Marvis Ann Raverty, janet Fagerberg, and Eva Lind- quist Owls for school-wide dis- tribution.

Sanborn entered upon this project. Its purpose is very definite: to pic- ture life of the school and to present an authentic his- tory of school activities. This year fifty individuals un- der the direction of Miss Katharine H. Obye have con- tributed to the creation of the work. The staff members are divided into sections according to their work. Among the essentials are selling adver- tisements, sales of the book, arrangement of panels, tak- ing of pictures for classes and features, and general writ- ing. In order to suit individuals to their work two staffs have been created, the business and the editorial. On the business staff are Dorothy Crockett and Jean- ette Acker Cupper picturej who are shown receiving subscription money from Margaret Haley, and Kath- leen Roe.

They are giving a scene from W'ill O' The Wisp. The third picture from top is a scene from Ax You Like It with Geraldine Mar- quardt playing the part of Orlando, Mary jane Fabiano, Rosalind, and june Ashley, Celia. For entertainment, an occasional pantomime is given, as is suggested so humorously in the second picture from the top by Lawrence Delahanty, Marianne Olson, and Philbrick Moran. The interest of the dramatic art stu- dents lies mainly in the art itself, development of ex- pression, and appreciation of dramatic literature. Tal- ent is evenly displayed in Little Theatre Festival Plays, which are open to the student body. Applying make-up is an interesting process, as can be judged from the bottom picture. Loraine Bell is dec- orating the visage of Lauretta Bergstrom and Dorothy Wallin is employing her technique on june Severson. This art is not all that is learned however, quite a good deal of time is spent in studying the fundamentals of production, directing, lighting, settings, and the histori- cal background of drama. The dramatic art department is indispensable in the presentation of assemblies, the junior and Senior Plays, and various other activities. A student of dramatic art can usually find a good place in speech and debate class- es, if he is so inclined. According to Miss Edna Young- quist, instructor, the most outstanding students are Har- old Nelson, Loraine Bell, June Ashley, Eugene Crouch, june Severson, and Geraldine Marquardt.

Audiences in the science rooms like especially the way the Rockford Senior High School Band plays its theme song, which is a special arrangement of Home Sweet Home, School Days, and Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Singu. ' The Rockford Senior High School Band was founded May, 1907, with a membership of nineteen. At present the membership has increased to eighty-seven. Mr. john T. Haight, the founder, has been the band director since its be- ginning and has built up the organization until it has become one of the most popular in high school. When it was first organized, band practices took place at Ellis school. In order to buy instruments it was necessary to borrow three hundred dollars, but this debt was soon repaid with money made on concerts. Later the band was given instruments and music stands by the Barber-Colman Company. Until 1923, no aid was received from the Board of Education. Now the band has a larger room in the administration building in which to keep all music, instruments, and uniforms. Each boy is responsible for all his own equipment. Band meets five days each week and is elected as a regular subject, it offers all members the privilege of studying mu- sic by playing it and the opportunity of creating pleasure for themselves and others by playing for school and commun- ity programs. Any boy may join who is able to read music and play fairly well any reed or brass instrument, First of all bands in the United States to be organized for high school students was the Rockford High School Band. Among the many thrills experienced by the Rockford band, there is one which Mr. Haight is especially proud to relate. In 1923, the Rockford band marched in Chicago in a parade which was to be led by the late John Philip Sousa, the United States' most famous bandmaster. Sousa, however, stepped aside and allowed the Rockford High School Band to lead the parade in his place. This is one thrill which Mr. Haight will never forget. Page 182 fTop rowl C.

Besides playing an important part in football games and the annual Christmas assemblies, the band hgures in all holiday parades, the Santa Claus parade, a concert given for the Lions' club, and also a concert given at the Shrine Temple. Two half-hour programs were presented over WROKQ one on February 24 and one on March 17. As a part of the March 17 program, Mr. Haight gave a short talk on what band work does for a boy. Besides the advantages already stated, he emphasized the idea that each boy in his band work is in- troduced to many masters and becomes able to appreciate line music of all types. This year for the first time since its organization the band purchased a complete set of new uniforms. The uniforms consist of white trousers, red coats, white belts, red caps, and red and black capes. The drum major, who was jack Sund- berg, was outfitted all in white and wore a large black fur hat. Derwood Lundquist assisted the drum major in his duties. During summer vacation through the efforts of Wallace Morrison, president of the alumni association, and Principal james E. Blue, the uniforms were purchased. Many civic and school organizations assisted the band in paying for them. Among the large contributors were the Lions' club, the RHS Athletic Association, Alumni Association, and the school publications. Besides the money which the band made on their own concerts and a tag day which they sponsored in the business sections of town, many individual contributions were received to help swell the fund. The total cost of the uni- forms was 33,423.91. One of the most important social functions which the band sponsored was a banquet in early spring. As has always been the custom, the banquet was for only band members and their guests. Each year, near the end of the second semester, the band members and their fathers go to Lake Ripley to spend Saturday and Sunday. Besides playing baseball, going boating, and otherwise amusing themselves, the band gives two concerts, one Saturday evening in the public square and the other at the community church services on Sunday.

ORCHESTRA There's music in the air after the orchestra tunes up! Strains from the Nutcracker Suite, Lohengrin, and any number of other selections can be heard floating down the ventilators and through the halls and sliding down the banis- ters to the second and third floors to cheer the despondent occupants of those rooms near the north stairways and beneath the orchestra room. The Rockford High School Orchestra was organized by Mr. June Bornor in 1918 with ten violins, one clarinet, and one saxophone, but its membership has steadily grown to the number of eighty-seven, and it is recognized as a well balanced high school concert orchestra. It was established for the benefit of those students who desired a playing appre- ciation of fine music. There are two orchestras, the concert orchestra and the junior, as it is called, which meet daily dur- ing the first and second hours respectively. The combined orchestras number about one hundred and thirty, the junior or- chestra having a membership varying from twenty-five to sixty. The only qualification for joining the concert orchestra covers a good deal of territory: one must be able to win a place by competition. To join the junior orchestra the prospective member must own an instrument and possess ability to play. An advancement in position can be obtained by a successful challenge. Each member is expected to be present when the orchestra makes public appearances. Whenever there is such a time, the members wear their white sweaters with the Orchestra emblem, which is a black chenile lyre with the red let- ters R. H. S. O. inscribed on it. Some of the selections played for various civic affairs in which the orchestra has par- ticipated are: Orpheus in the Unterveld, by Offenbackg The Nutcracker Suiten by Tschaikowskyg Military Symphony, by Haydng Shubert's Unfinished Symphony, and parts from Lohengrin. At the Christmas assembly the orchestra played selections from the Messiah by Handel. The orchestra always plays for the junior and Senior plays and furnishes complete accompaniment for the annual operetta. The orchestra is one of the most active of the school organizations. Each year it sponsors an afternoon party and a Spring banquet and ball. The orchestra prides itself on having unique evening parties. Last year they had a hobo party, and even the dance orchestra came decked out in hobo wardrobes and tin cans. :1'FI,f'S Q ,. ,1.,.,u3i.,:5 'O 1-.355 f ' J.:.t.L:' Page 184 .K l ifu' a 5'i'-' 1 f TT'T H W W W 'T'Z1. 5.1 , .lf-Aww-Q. .1 fv?!Z'f5iM:-faii ' VN, l it-of-wEt,ts?1ga,-: 1 i ' , V., .1,.v-v..-:nm . - i.:.n3as.aas,1m.1J.J...d-a..in-.. ... - .v,-' tFirsr row?

GRCHESTRA The orchestra party this year was a phantom party with an eerie sort of style revue presented by very lively ghosts prancing around to the music of a swing time orchestra. The girls' gym was transformed into a cemetery scene with the use of blue lights, tombstones, skulls, and cross bones, all to create a gloomy effect. The orchestra is very proud of its standing in the All-State High School Orchestra. This year Henry Coretz won the second chair in the violin section, Martha Jane Coil and Ann Maloney also won honors in their section. A project of the orchestra for the year was the installation of an amplifier to play recordings of famous orchestras at full volume so that the members could play their particular part with any great symphony orchestra. It was built and in- stalled by Mr. Bornor. Among the outstanding members and the instruments they play are Henry Coretz, concert master, violin, Mary Kelly, First cello, Mary Densmore, base viol, Martha jane Coil, viola, Ann Malone, viola, Shirley johnson, flute, Shirley Edgar, flute, Nancy Logan, oboe, Roy Brown, clarinet, Alberta Lofgren, bassoon, Ray Carlen, French horn, Phyllis Nel- son, trumpet, john Key, trombone, Bob Greenberg, trumpet, Bill Engberg, drums. When the orchestra plays for civic affairs, two members, jean DeLong and Virginia Lund, play harps. Much of the orchestras time is devoted to the actual playing of instrumental music and the study of the finest types of the literature in which their interests lie. Their music nlls those who listen to their daily practices with a wonder that such youthful students can produce such harmony merely by drawing a bow across a string or pressing a valve or the like. But it is no wonder to them, the music they are able to play represents years of toil and patience, and still better represents the talent they possess and have developed. Presiding over affairs during the first semester were Quintin DeSaix, president, Henry Coretz, vice-president, jean Carson, secretary, Barbara Kingman, treasurer, Pat Porter and Marjorie Farnham, librarians, officers for the second se- mester were Quintin DeSaix, president, jean Carson, vice-president, Nancy Logan, secretary, Ray Carlen, treasurer, Jean DeLong and Marjorie Farnham, librarians. 2,9 ,...,, A ,, , ' V .

After attending the University of Illinois, working as ad rnan- ager on the Daily Illini and graduating with a B. A. degree in Commerce, he returned to Rockford where he entered business and is now associated with the Earl M. Cumimngs Advertising Agency. During his high school days, he was a Captain Adjutant and the rifle team's high marksrnan. He served as a reporter on the Owl staff, belonged to the Philomathean Lit- erary Society, Hi-Y, was vice-president of his class and of the National Honor Society. There were afternoon and evening parties sponsored by the different clubs and organi- zations, while several parties were preceded by dinners. mmm fa ,E Ni? 51?-.QL Wi! 322553215 WU!

Here are Florence johnson, Gunvar Hermanson, Dorothy Brunn, and Mildred Norton engaged in this work. The faculty receive their school correspondence and bulletins through a rack of open mail boxes in the office. In this expectant quartet are Mr. Burlend, Mr. Maitland, Mr. Batesole, and Mr. Conklin. The Hi-Y sends annually a group of delegates to the state conference. The prospect of an entertain- ing trip is rather generally reflected in the expres- sions of these members. Among them are Quintin DeSaix, Bob Miller, and Mr. Conklin, adviser. judging by the joyous expressions of these seniors one might gather that they are happy to make their adieux, but perhaps it is just the bonny june time.

The aim is to reward those who excel in school work, social life, and activities, and the purpose is to create enthusiasm for work and willingness for leadership, to stimulate a desire for rendering service, and to develop character. For membership, one must rank in the upper third of his class scholastically, and must fill the requirements in leadership, service, and character. The decision of members consists of both student and teacher elec- tion, the hnal selection being made by a faculty committee. Robert Scott was elected president of the group initiated in 1936. Other officers chosen were Robert Miller, vice-presidentg Barbara Cooling, secretary, and Miss Hazel Putnam, treasurer. fSee circular picture abovej Members initiated in 1936 and pictured in the front row above are Catherine Windemutlu, Dorothy Morgan, and Elizabeth Belle, second row, Richard Mi- chaelsen, jean Miller, Dorothy Wztllin, and Margaret I.aGrandeg third row, Harold Nelson, Mary jane Andeson, Robert Miller, and Dorothy Ferguson.
