April thirtieth of this year we passed another important milestone in the his- tory of our country-the one hundred fiftieth anniversary of the inauguration of our democratic form of government. Throughout this period, we have enjoyed certain rights and privileges because the founders of our government believed in democratic ideals and incorporated demo- cratic principles into the fundamental law of our land. Since the establishment of our form of government, our leaders, who have been responsible for the welfare of our citizens, have sought to perpetuate and to safe- guard the fundamental principles of the democratic ideals. Today we enjoy the rights of free speech, unhampered access to the facts on important questions, vot- ing franchise, religious liberty, impartial justice, and the equal protection of the laws due to the abiding faith in and the sincere loyalty to American democratic ideals of government. At a time when other democracies have either fallen or are falling by the wayside, may we as members of the faculty and stu- dent body rededicate our lives to the preservation of the American ideal of democratic government. 57 OFFICIALS To obtain as good an education as possible should be the aim of all youth. Education opens the doors of opportunity that would otherwise be closed. High school graduation in itself is a fine achievement. If a higher education is possible, it should he pursued for its advantages are numerous. Assistanl Principal, M.A. P1'inrifml, M .A. There is always need for good leadershipg but there is also need for good followership, for no man can be omniscient. ln order to know enough to lead here, I must choose to be relatively ignorant there. That means the choice that makes .me a leader here requires me to he a follower there--tn a civilizd society, every man must he a follower in many fields. l Dean of Girls. B.A. Page 1 4 wig Ns

Such persons, a vital necessity to school life, help to hold it together. Seeing that the students of the high school and other schools of the city receive attention other than those given in the class room, and seeing that all departments and oihce routine nun smoothly, are two duties of this group. This body of individuals has charge of the coordinate activities of the Rockford Public Schools. They make changes, introducing new ideas into the system used for teaching students of schools.
