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 .

Q if - 1 The Amazon club has for its purpose the promo- tion of athletics for girls. Those interested in partici- pating in athletics are eligi- ble for membership into the club. The regular meetings are held every Tuesday night in the Girls' gymna- sium. Amazons is said to have been the name of a legen- dary nation of women war- riors who lived in Asia Mi- nor. After this tribe the club is named. During the fall months, playing volley ball is the main activity of the club. Two members of the club are chosen as captainsg each chooses enough girls for a team and thus a great deal of rivalry exists be- tween the two teams which makes games interesting. Hockey playing takes the place of the playing of volley ball during the w i n t e r. Basketball is another of their winter games the members enioy playing. In the spring Amazon Club OFFICERS First Semester President ALICE MINETT Vice-President EVELYN ZIMMERMAN Secretary MARY SCONIA Treasurer DOROTHY DO RN Second Semester President ALICE MINETT Vice-President BARBARA FURZE Secretary JOSEPHINE O'DONNELL Treasurer HELEN RAY Advisor - MISS BERTHA BARDO Y Mary Scoma Alice Minett Mildred Wells still another game is played -that of baseball. Thus, one can see that an A m a z o n girli' is Well versed in a variety of ath- letic activities. Besides these important activities, the girls show tal- ent in an entirely different type of thing by making posters which advertise the high school games during the season. These posters are posted in various places in the building for the pur- pose of promoting interest and thereby securing a larger attendance at every game. Still another phase of the activities of this organiza- tion is the annual party which is given sometime in the spring. This affair is one to which everyone looks forward with a great deal of eagerness. Each year the girls put forth a great deal of effort in o r de r to make their party an enjoyable one- varie- ty is the spice of lifeu -and they prove it. fb 'I W! one hundred sixty-nine
