Superintendent H. W. Newton 7 his well may be th? Day of Judgement which the world awaits: But be it so or not. I only know My present duty, and my Lord's command To occupy till He comes. So at the post Where He hath set me in His providence. I choose for one. to meet Him face to face.— No faithless servant frightened from my task But ready when th? Lord of harvest calls. A. B. Hiram College. 1922. A. M. Ohio State University, 1925. Superintendent of North Fairfield Schools 1922-1924. Superintendent of Camden School. Lorain County. 1925-1911. Superintendent Rockford School. 1911------. Rockford School Someone has said What’s in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” However, the fact remains that names are used to distinguish objects in the scope of ones experience and that each object possesses characteristics and a history which differentiates it from the others. And so it is with schools. Although all schools are founded with the same purpose in view, they differ greatly in many ways and are given different ratings by state officials, by colleges and by their own communities. Graduates of Rockford School add a good name to their educational record. It is the name of a school which is recognized by state officials as one of the first grade- It is a school which, through periods of both prosperity and depression since 1925, has maintained the high requirements for membership in the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges, offering a broad course of study, including Music, Commercial, Home Economics, and Vocational Agriculture courses in addition to the usual college preparatory work. It is a school recognized throughout its history for a high standard of sportsmanship and an unusual record of victories. It is a school which has been foremost in the educational advancement of its county, establishing an educational plant and a transportation system to serve not only its own village, but all outlaying territory within driving distance- With these characteristics behind the name of Rockford School, its graduates should be proud to add its name to their educational record and should endeavor through the wise and industrious use of the training received here to keep its name untarnished and to add to the lustre of previous accomplishments.

THE ROCKET “Bite off more than you can chew. —then chew it: Plan for more than you can do. —then do it: Hitch your wagon to a star Take your seat and there you are. Some people get all the breaks. How often has this been said by many? Perhaps this is true to some extent, but I have my doubts as to its truth in the fullest sense of the word. One of the outstanding coaches of the country teaches his players to make the breaks for themselves and then to take advantage of every one. You have received a very fine break in that you have had the opportunity of attending high school. From now on it will be up to you to make the most of your breaks, as there are very few people who are trying to make way for others. Your chances for success in life will depend entirely upon what you do with the little opportunities you meet. With the coming of the next few years you will find much more work to be done. Whether in the field of science, business, government, education, religion, or any other field in which you may be interested, the world is calling for men with vision. Many from our school before you have gone out into the world and have made a place for themselves- Society is calling for advancements in scientific thinking, better living conditions for the masses—both food and shelter,—better working conditions, leaders in religion, a better understanding between labor and capital, sensible judgment on the part of political leaders and men of governmental affairs, and possibly one of the greatest calls is for men to care for the needs of the people when they have nothing in particular to do—the right use of leisure—which undoubtedly will lead to a better control of the crime situation in which we have entered- Opportunities are here. The breaks are with you. Success to you. Principal H. O. Now It is just as bad to be a ten dollar gold piece and pass yourself off as a penny as it is to be a penny and try to pass yourself as a ten dollar gold piece. A. B. Findlay College. 1927. Arlington High School. 1927-1928. Rockford High School. 19 0------
