Our Superintendent Again the graduating class of Rockford High School is leaving as one of its contributions to the school and community a record of the school during the last year of the class in high school. It is to be hoped that this record may show— not bookworms or educated fools” as the term has been used.—not star athletes who have had no time for scholastic development.—nor musical, dramatic, or journalistic prodigies, but a large group of students each of whom has been cn abled to follow a balanced and well rounded program of intellectual, physical, artistic, moral and religious development which will enable him to solve the problems more easily and enjoy the benefits to a maximum extent during the remainder of the journey through life. The theme of Pioneering which the editors have chosen for this fifth volume of the Rocket is a very appropriate one. for the class will find itself in a world which is attempting to pioneer in a perhaps even greater degree than did their forefathers of the era of the covered wagon. This spirit of pioneering is one of the basic characteristics of man. Continuous adjustment in social, economic, moral and religious life is essential to the existence of any nation. However, it should be kept in mind that pioneering in new fields does not indicate the discarding of all previous knowledge as being of no value, but rather the using of the old as a foundation upon which to add the new. As the covered wagons started on their journey across the plains they took with them as much as possible of the old civilization, to be used in building up new homes in the land of greater opportunity. —H.

Rockford High School. 19 30 — A true Pioneer never shirks from duty. He ever strives to blaze new trails and to make old trails more pleasant for those who follow. Many of the class of 1936 will be remembered for landmarks along their trails throughout their school career. In scholarship, athletics, dramatics, music, and. in fact, in all phases of school life this class has had pioneering traits. It is our sincerest hope that each member will find his place in the thicket of the world and blaze new trails for a new and better world. —H. O.
