The R club, founded in Rockford High School three years ago, devotes its time to only one thing, ath- letics. Consequently the only persons eligible for membership into this club are those who through hard work on football held, bas- ketball floor, cinder paths or in the swimming pool have earned their letters. The meetings are held every oth- er Tuesday at 7 :OO P. M. in the high school building. Mr. Lundahl, the efhcient ad- visor, is largely responsible for raising the R club to its present high standing among the other school clubs. This, the members feel, is especially admirable since the club is but three years old. Another reason for the success of this or- ganization is the splendid cooperation on the part of the members. It is the wish of every athlete to make this, his club, the leading one in school. One of the chief aims of the club is to 'tit R Club OFFICERS First Semester President ROBERT DENNIS Vice-President RUSSELL ATWOOD Secretary FRANK JOHNSON Treasurer LEO CAMPISI Second Semester President ROBERT DENNIS Vice-President RUSSELL ATWOOD Secretary FRANK JOHNSON Treasurer LEO CAMPISI Advisor N, MR. ARTHUR LUNDAHL v . J ' tt i Pi th 'l tt tu promote clean athletics. This is one of the chief essentials of a good team. It has a cheering section of its own to encourage their brother athletes who are in the active competition. The R club furnishes the ushers at the basketball games which is a great help to the school. The club al- so puts on several rallies every year, particularly in the football season. These are of real value in encour- aging the teams. This organization has so- cial qualities too. Each spring it holds a sweater formal dance. This is con- sidered one of the best dances of the school term, and nothing is spared to make it such. Every let- terman wears his sweater to this affair, while the girls come in formal attire. Athletes from other schools in the Confer- ence are sent invita- tions, another way to encourage good feel- ings among other con- ference schools. ,-f. sf.f5QMV Aj S0 55-t 1 I Vlfflisgiiiig 5 ' :fir : QN X: fiii, 'V 11.5 f i ' A Ta r t . yt flivl- 'fly-i l aiiiifim f-iizlll .-Milt L7 yi ,w,Q,..,,!:.! ttlifzly' Hijgg A Vy gsggzggim '- f My - - fi-alla tttlifttt wgllll' al Kliffft l T ' ll .sfiiie-ltzlflifillifi ,,, ts, tn, ,.. ,at .i A .
