HE first industry in Rockford served to establish a permanent basis for further labor in the new settlement. At this time very little work was done by ma- chinery and none by more advanced methods of power. Today, industries have devel- oped in every possible line to make Rock- ford one of the most promising American cities at the present time. Machinery has developed rapidly with the aid of electricity and steam power. Likewise, the organiza- tions of this school have progressed from small beginnings to large undertakings. Clubs and activities in the high school have grown apace with the school's development and are leaving their impress in both school and community life. In the following book a brief study of the activities and clubs of this institution is given with their foremost achievements.
