Although it is over 60 years ago, I remember as if it were yesterday, the day the editor of the Owl asked me if I would contribute an article entitled, Why l prefer to be a lunior, and the pride l felt in that request. lt was my first contribution to that now Venerable pub- lication .... The idea in general was to this effect: The lunior benefits by his experiences as a Freshman and Sophomore, yet un- like those of the Senior year must be clouded by the sense of the close of high school life. This, the lunior period, is the best period of ally one has bene- fited by the Freshman and Sophomoric periods, hasn't reached the final year, and therefore is in a position to get the maximum joy and profit out of life. 0 GUG z G C T o 2 C Ui Z -I fn C I -1 I ' 5 CD C5 I do-M ' S AG 3.l.Vl:I3 500 YEAR SS3Hd 0 .Q ev ua '55 usso me Fnnsr r1ovAaLe T3 OUHCES Since an editor or publisher must have news in order to have a newspaper, news sources are the first consideration in the publica- tion of a paper. By a news source is meant any person or aroup of persons from whom information ofaeneral or specific interest may be obtained. When an editor sets out to publish a newspaper, he must have, first, a knowledge of these persons and aroups in his territory, it is to these that he sen-ds reporters. The source of news is not limited to a few individuals, but extends throughout a whole community. The school communitv consists mf Ham supervisors, board of education, faculty and classes. the prime necessity of these, the RHS news sources, th sion of this book is devoted to them.

So spoke Abraham Lincoln eighty years ago, and in these Words he summarized with characteristic simplicity the chief end of either speaking or Writing. A young man who has learned success- fully to communicate his own ideas to another person has acquired a habit which will stand him in good stead in Whatever he does-in school, in busi- ness, in society. And I know of no better training in putting over ideas than that which comes from participation in the Work of school publications . . . Alertness, accuracy, conciseness-these are qualities which journalistic experi- ence should help one acquirep and a high school publication department which builds these qualities into the members of its staff has more than justi- fied its existence. waff- NEW ENGLAND WAS THE Fl 01' wb ' STEPHEN DAVE H'l.I.NIHd 'STI SIH ODEL ' 'olnss WAS THIS cnvof. 1-mno P SSIG TME ln the language of the newspaper, an assignment is an order to a reporter to get the facts of a story and present them on or before a certain set time, the deadline. After an editor is sure that he has sources from wnich to obtain news, he is ready to assemble a staff and assign his reporters to regular beats, definite territory the reporter is to cover, or to special news events. A school also has assignments, and it is as necessary for students to meet the deadlines for handing in their lessons as it is for news- paper men to meet their deadlines. The organizations of both schools and newspapers are divided into departments, each with a head whose duty it is to plan the worlc of the department. These depart- ments are the subject of this second division. l l l l wr- 1 - ff an H, i l fy l 1 f W V V, I ll xx il , l i 1 lax, N l N l 1 T l l l p I y f i 1 ' 4..1..

The mdteridl voilue of the promotion depdrtment comes from the fotct that the mdjor considerdtion in the sdle of ddvertisinq is circuldtion. Thus, if the promotion depdrtment is efficient, the business stdff Will be better dble to finotnce the pctper through the sdle of otdvertisinq. The intdnqi- ble benefit from dn effective promotion stotff is the good-Will it credtes. A school's promotion stdff consists of those students Who come in contoict with the outside community-through dthletic contests, con- certs, publicdtions, or plotys. Since it is they who prove to the people of the city thozt the school dnd its dctivities ore worthy of their sup- port, this third division concerns them. -T.- f-- - g, . 1 4 1 1 t 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 t 1 Y 1 tx 1 1 '1 1 ?1 1 ' 1 1 'ff 'ff TT?

Through the ingenuity of the writer, many articles have ben printed which have proved enjoyable and witty. Features are selected for their timeliness, as for example, March suggests windy February 29, leap yearg and holidays, festivity. At the end of the first semester, a temporary editing staff appointed to replace the editor and associate editor consisted of Don Olson, Bill Mackey, and Betty Nordvall.

Shown in the studio at this time is the Rockford affirmative team, com- posed of Janet Anderson Cleftl and Ruth Meier, who was taken ill later in the season and had to be replaced by Robert Day. At this invitational tourna- ment, both Rockford teams tied with Dundee debaters for a perfect day's record. This year the question was Re- solved: that there should be government ownership of the railroads. ln confer- ence debates, Rockford, for the fourth straight year, finished in second place. During this year, about twenty-eight students have been active in debate in Rockford high school. The teams have participated in one hundred and twenty-eight debates. In the Wheaton invitational Tournament, Rockford won seven con- tests and lost three, to finish in fourth place out of twenty- eight schools. Both the first and second teams engaged in debates at Augustana. The district tournament was held at DeKalb, after which victorious teams participated in the state tournament at Champaign.

An interclass or- ganization where juniors and seniors rubbed shoulders together for a common purpose was needed. Therefore early in May, l907, a mass meeting of those interested in forming a band was held. Of this number nineteen were chosen and given instruments. The boys met in the old Ellis school for prac- tice every Monday evening under the leadership of Mr. Iohn T. Haight. Drum Major Secretary This organization was the first high school band in the United States. The first instruments were obtained through the borrowing of three hundred dollars. After playing at a few public concerts, the band was able to liquidate the debt as well as buy new uniforms, red coats, and caps. Mr. George Roper presented the band members with red capes. When the Bar- ber-Colman Band broke up, the instru- ments and stands were donated to the school band. Private donations were also received.

Club members have participated ever since in the annual operettas, Christ- mas programs, and spring testivals. The name of the Treble Clei club was derived from the tact that the girls sing only in the treble or G clei. Any girl who meets the requirements ot this club is eligible to become a member. The re- quirements are as follows: the applicant must have a good singing voice, and the ability to stay on pitch, to carry a part, and to read music. To strive to promote a musical interest in the girls is the purpose of the Treble Clei club. By being a member of this club, a girl has the opportunity to entertain others with delightful music and to enjoy music herself after graduation.

Since Mrs. Sarena Dunton Bolender, for- mer music instructor, found that there were many capable girls who could not become members of the other musical organiza- tions because of the number limitation, she formed the Lalforge Glee club in l937. This club has been so popular that it has been found necessary to have try-outs in f148J the Junior high schools, as well as the Senior, to find which prospective members are most capable of staying on pitch and carrying a tune. After membership has been obtained, these students prepare to present their pro- grams Which are given during the year, such as caroling in the halls at Christmas time and singing in the spring and Winter concerts.

Such experience makes one a more alert and curious observer, sharpens the detail and fullness of his observation, cultivates an instinct to search for the critical facts in a situa- tion. And this has deeper meaning than merely to promote efficiency, The color and temper of one's living de- pends more on the workmanship with which he does the job than on the mere fact of the finished product .... ln giv- ing the experience it does in the work- manship of thought and expression, the Qwl goes to the heart of what education is all about.

For example, the fact that a man in Seattle is llU years old has little effect on the lives of readers in Rockford, yet they enjoy reading about it in their newspapers. This story and countless others like it are feature, or human interest, stories.

D ICK MORGAN After ten years of existence, the Iunior Engineering society was reorganized in l938 by Herbert Stone and Robert Shedd. The purpose of the club is to foster an in- terest in engineering among the boys. ,Open to any boy interested in engineer- ing, the Iunior Engineering Society tries to establish a better relationship between men in industry and boys in school. One of the- many educational tours through Rockford industries was made to the Woodward Governor Company. The club members were able to see the many types ot governors ranging from a few f1861 square inches, used in airplanes, to ten feet in breadth and height used in dams. Such things as the assembly oi governors and also the governor ot the salvaged submarine, Sgualus, were inspected in the clean plant, one ot tour in this country. Through a generous interest in the soci- ety, the Iunior Engineering Society has been able to attend the meeting of the American Society ot Tool Engineers each month at the Faust Hotel. A representa- tive from Westinghouse Research Labora- tories demonstrated a model air condi- tioner at one of the meetings. ECU CLUB CBaclc row? Anderson, Holt, Paden, L.

Aceraceae is the scientific name ot the Maple, a common tree in this region. To promote general interest in botany, Mr. Lamont Clilceman, science instructor, tounded the club in l936. Not only does the Aceraceae club benetit the students taking botany, but it creates an interest in the outdoor lite surrounding the school. Any student interested in botany has the opportunity ot participating in interesting 51831 meetings. The tall trip to Rock Cut Forest Preserve is considered the most outstand- ing program planned by the club. Rank- ing next in line among the activities ar- ranged are a picnic and afternoon dance. Une oi the most unusual sales oi, the school is sponsored by the botany club- the sale oi mistletoe shortly before Christ- mas. Scanning through the list oi Aceraceae alumni, one finds such names as Ned Garst, Doris Williams, and Bernard Gill, class ot l939, who were well-known in other club and school affairs.

These Words start with the eighth, fifth, and third letters of the alphabet, re- spectively. Considered to be the most outstanding program of this year was a panel discus- sion given before the members by the Fcrum club, The purpose of the discussion was to acquaint the students with the problems that propaganda presents. A Christmas party was held this year to f190l which members brought gifts of food for distribution to Roclcfords needy. Betty Ann Flynn, a student at Rockford High who formerly lived in England, gave an ac- count of life in that country. An afternoon dance, and a spring evening dance are social affairs of the 8-5-3 club. The purpose of the club, which meets with Miss Maxine Ollman, instructor, is to promote and further the interest in the sub- jects of the social science department. Esther Sumner and lean Moody are re- sponsible for the programs, as they are the program chairmen.

V IRGINIA GATZ To further the interest in shorthand, typ- ing, bookkeeping, and retail selling is the purpose of the Commercia club. The club also aims to bring the students in the commercial department together for friend- ly and helpful meetings. In l929, Mrs. Lucille Burgoon, commer- cial instructor, and a group of pupils from various commercial classes established the Commercia club. The name Commercia is derived from the word commercial. Besides this deriva- tion, each letter in commercia stands for a quality which the club members should possess. The qualities are as follows: char- acter, orderliness, manner, memory, re- liability, cooperation, initiative, and ac- curacy. Among the club's practical and enter- taining functions this year have been a trip to the Illinois Bell Telephone Com- pany, a Remington Rand demonstration, an afternoon party, and a movie. The Commercia club meets every other Monday night with Miss Grace Paulson, adviser and instructor. Helen Trosper has spent a great deal of her time in filling her position as the pro- gram chairman. She also planned the floor show for the afternoon dance. Doris Peterson made an excellent and efficient treasurer. f191J ,.1 l I HLLIB af tBack rowl I. Hall, Rhodes, W. Hall, Carle, Patton, lensen.

The club's member- ship is limited to monitors only, and a person automatically becomes a member upon joining the monitor force. Although some social activities are found in the program of the club, they are not dominant, for the monitors must con- cern almost Wholly with their business of keeping order in the student body.

E LAINE SWANSON To help high school girls become ac- quainted with each other in as democratic a'way as possible is the purpose of the Tri-Y club. The organization is a junior branch of the YWCA and its symbol is the triangle, therefore it is known as the Tri-Y. To face life squarely is the slogan of the organization, and it strives to find and give the best. Any girl who is willing to submit to these purposes is eligible for membership in the Tri-Y. Because the Doll Festival given last year was so successful, it was decided f193l that another should be presented. Girls grouped together and dressed dolls for dif- ferent scenes as the Sleeping Beauty, and Pinnochio. After the exhibit, the dolls were presented to the Community Fund for Christmas presents. Lucy Mae McAllister exhibited her foreign dolls and Miss Crotty showed her collection of old dolls. The Tri-Y club is divided into three groups, senior, junior, and sophomore and representatives from these groups make up the lnner-Club Council. Miss Marian l-lowland is the director of the Y activi- ties. HI-Y CLUB 'if CBack rowl Estwing, F. Veach, Arendsee, Boswell, W. Veach, Stimeling, Bailey, B.

The Annual owes a great deal to the various clubs, the athletic association, and the Iunior and Senior classes for their contributions for pages in the an- nual. Even With the help of school groups, however, the support of the merchants of the city is essential in maintaining the annual's high stand- ards. The staff of the l94O RHS Annual is also indebted to the Bliss Printing Company, the Rockford Typesetting Company, and the Rockford Illustrat- ing Company, printers and engravers, the North American Press, covers, and Herzog Studios, Ros-Mor Studios, and Waldsmith Commercial Studios, pho- tography. The staff also appreciates greatly the indispensable Work of Miss Dentler's art classes in lettering and sketching for the book. The co- operation of all groups in and out of school has given to Rockford high school All-American and Medalist an- nuals in national ratings year after year.
