On Sunday, October 2k, 195k the dedication service was held for the third section of the modern school plant now housing Rockford community's 650 school age boys and girls. The new addition was started in 1951 when the need for more class room space became very apparent. Ralph Merrill, architect of Lima, designed the building and presented plans which were approved by the Board of Education and then by the electors on November k 1952. The bond issue was passed and the building was sold on April 3. The breaking of ground took place on April 27, 1953 and the building was occupied on September 1, 195k The building is of reinforced concrete and brick construction with most inside walls being of glazed tile. The corridor floors are terrazzo and the class room floors are of plastic and asphalt tile. The total cost of the project was $k58 000 which included new lights in the old building and new seating for grades one through four in the old building. The senior olass in appreciation dedicates this ”1955 Rocket” to our superintendent, Mr. Lloyd H. Iler, and to the local Board of Education for their efforts in making the new addition a reality and for their continued zeal in raising the standards of our school. Below is a snapshot taken by Mr. Ernest Thompson which shows those taking part in the dedicatory service. Lloyd H. Her, M.A. Ohio State University Superintendent of Schools Dale Schlatter, B.S.

After becoming adjusted to our new high school life, we organized our class with Wilmer Her, President; Saundra Disher, Vice-President; and Virgil Roebuck, Secretary-Treasurer. We were very fortunate in having Mr. Hoover appointed our class adviser for our four years of high school, to help us through numerous difficulties and to plan for our many activities as a class. During this year we organized our travel club, hoping to raise enough money for our senior trip. We chose Saundra Disher to represent us at the Homecoming Game. After looking forward to our first class trip, we decided to go to Columbus where we visited the Capitol, the museum, and the Ohio Caverns. Soon this year was ended with forty-four bewildered freshmen having become much wiser. Now calling ourselves sophomores, we started the new school year with Wilmer Iler, President; Saundra Disher, Vice-President; and Mary Lee Van Fleet, Secretary-Treasurer. For the Homecoming Game we elected Beverly Hawk as attendant to the queen. We again chose Columbus as our destination for our class trip, where we toured the museum and the zoo. As the year rolled on, forty-four Juniors moved nearer to the top of the great ladder that we started to climb two years before. We again elected Wilmer Iler, Saundra Disher and Mary Lee Van Fleet as our officers. Pat Friedly was chosen to represent us at the Homecoming Game. This proved to be a very successful year for our class. We selected our rings and presented our first class play, You Can't Kiss Caroline, which went over in a big way. And then came the biggest of all events.1 The Junior-Senior Prom, for which Moonlight and Roses was the theme. The class traveled to Middletown and Dayton for its trip, where we saw the Armco Steel Mills and the Dayton Power and Light Company. We were proud to send Saundra Disher and Wilmer Iler to Girls' and Boys' State which they attended in the summer. In the fall of 195U forty-two dignified and serious seniors returned to form their last impressions with Rockford High School. We started our last year with Wilmer Iler, President; John Pfister, Vice-President; and Mary Lee Van Fleet, Secretary-Treasurer. Peggy Hawk was chosen Homecoming Queen and Mary Lee Van Fleet was chosen as her senior attendant. We were glad that one member of the class, Margaret Hayes, had a perfect attendance record for all four years. We were sorry to lose one of our members during the year. Eleanor Evans did not return to school after the holidays. During our association together as classmates, we learned to live together and to admire one another. The highest honors of the class for scholastic achievement were awarded to Wilmer Iler, named Valedictorian, and Patty Friedly, Salutatorian. They have worked diligently to attain these honors and we congratulate them for coming to the top scholastically. As a class we chose our classmates for the following abilities and characteristics: Most likely to succeed —Saundra Disher and Wilmer Iler; Best looking —Betty Eichar and Dean French; Acting ability --Ruth Deitsch and Wilmer Iler; Best athletes —Pat Friedly and Larry Hileman; 'Best comedians —Sharon Wood and Robert Linn; Best musicians --Mary Lee Van Fleet and Wilmer Iler; Most friendly —Saundra Disher and Danny Simon. After four years of hard work in the travel club, we hope to have finances enough to take a trip to New York and Washington. And now we, as dignified seniors, wish to say Good-bye to our beloved teachers and classmates, until we meet again.

Coaches Lewis and Booher had a well trained squad with Larry Hileman winning special honor—being chosen by the Midwestern Conference for the first string quarter back position on the all-conference team. Local players chosen for the second all-conference team were: Tom Pryer, Bevan Buel and Terry Trisel, The Midwestern Conference is composed of five schools in this vicinity. Senior boys playing their last football for Rockford High School this year were Larry Hileman, Bevan Buel, John Pfister, Dean French, Norman Dietrich, and Lester Linn. Football Season Record Rockford Opponents Rockford Opponerts Celina 20 26 Coldwater 6 37 St. Johns 7 13 Elida 7 31+ Paulding 1+0 20 Lakeview 63 13 Payne 26 0 Lima St. Rose 26 39 Hicksville 25 6 BASKET BALL Rockford was not in the upper bracket as far as wins and losses were concerned, but the team had a fine spirit which made the contests interesting for the local fans. They did not have the scoring punch it takes to win games, but Coaches Booher and Lewis have helped to train the squad of next year and we trust we will find Rockford again in the winning column in many games. Playing their last basket ball for Rockford were: Larry Hileman, Wilmer Her and John Pfister. HOMECOMING Reigning as queen at the homecoming game this year was Peggy Hawk, senior. Her attendants were Mary Lee Van Fleet, senior; Kathryn Rasawehr, junior; Dorothy Shaffer, sophomore; and Betty Sommers, freshman. The homecoming game was played with Elida on October 28. The crowning and parade were well planned and executed and were enjoyed by the large number of people present. Many alumni returned for the game and festivities.
