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.
