FOREWORD
In the last few years probably nothing
has achieved a greater impression on
our lives than one of the oldest in-
fluences in the world, color. Color
harmony, blending, and softness are
all-important in creating an appear-
ance pleasing to the eye. Believers in
color symbols tell us that every color
of the rainbow portrays or signifies a
different quality of personality. Violet
symbolizes Dignity; indigo, Verity;
blue, Honor; green, Growth; yellow,
Knowledge; orange, Strength; and red,
Vitality.
Because of the ever increasing im-
portance of color and the magnetic
attraction of the study of the philoso-
phy of color, the staff of the forty-
third R. H. S. Annual has chosen color
as the theme of this book.
The book is divided into seven parts,
arranged in the order of the seven
colors of the rainbow, and divided into
sections in accordance with the phase
of school life suggested by each of
these colors.

with many extra-curricular activities and varied sub-
jects in the curriculum now offered. Sympathetic, ap-

seniors thank him for guiding their ways through high

ADVISORS
Miss Advisor is a very busy person every day in the school year. Her average day begins about eight
o'clock in the morning. After leaving her wraps in the cloak room and going to collect the material in
her box. Miss Advisor starts for her room. As she moves through the halls she collects quite a follow-
ing of pupils who wish to see her, and when she reaches her room she finds another group waiting
for her.
Although much annoyed at the dusty, disordered appearance of her desk, she has to start immedi-
ately attending to the different wants of the students who have gathered around her. The first may want
a permanent excuse because he thinks he might get a job. After telling him to get the job first, Miss
Advisor finds the next person wants to drop his math because it’s too hard. She discovers that he is
discouraged because he couldn't work some problems the night before and that all he needs is encourage-
ment. Another student who is a complete failure in a subject wishes to drop it and is probably allowed
to do so. The following pupil, who wishes a permanent excuse for fourth hour, has a legitimate reason
and is granted his excuse. Occasionally a parent may be there to inquire what requirements are necessary
for college entrance and if his offspring has those requirements. During home room period Miss Advisor
tries to organize the material necessary for her classes during the day.
The business that occupies her vacant hours depends on the time of year. For instance, six weeks
before the semester ends, electives are chosen. Many students don’t know what they want to take. Miss
Advisor must persuade these people to take certain subjects and convince others that if they change their
courses, their entire three year program will be upset.
Before the work in electives is completed, programs must be made out. This is a busy time because
the students have to consult each other about making their lunch hours coincide and other important mat-
ters which overthrow an advisor’s careful plans.
As soon as the new semester begins, and the new routine has been tried, pupils storm Miss Advisor's
room to get programs changed because they didn’t know this teacher was going to give so much home-
work. Betty didn't get the same history class as they, or Mary has a lunch hour different from theirs.
For a time after this period there is breathing space, but the time soon comes again to make out failure
cards and then electives.
The hour after 3:30 is a repetition of the morning and is equally as strenuous. As the halls grow
silent and only occasional voices are heard, Miss Advisor regards her still dusty and disordered desk and
decides she will leave it until morning when there will be more time to clean it.

DEPARTMENT HEADS
The average Department Head may arrive any time between seven-thirty and eight o'clock in the
morning to start a day' of many duties. After getting her classroom keys from her box in the office, she
proceeds to her room and begins looking over the notices and schedule for the day. Her quiet is soon
broken, however, by the entrance of a teacher in her Department who has some question or problem of
importance on which to gain the department head’s advice or aid.
A Department Head's day is much less dramatic than that of an advisor, for it is her business to
interpret the policy of the administration, which she has learned through previous conference with her
principal, to the teachers under her supervision, who will in turn interpret them to the students. Toward
the closing of each semester, she and the principal make out the program for the following semester. One
of her additional duties at this time is to attend to new books and supplies in accordance with the plans
for classes. After the beginning of the new semester, she must assist the office in evening the number
of students in all the classes in her department. Each year, when the transferring of some students to
another hour becomes necessary, she is subject to amusing and unusual excuses which each student has
to present. Often in less than a moment a large, awkward boy develops a sudden love of music or a
very noble decision to help his mother—always these things must be done in the period into which the
Department Head wishes to transfer him.
However, these duties are beside the usual routine and arc only' periodical in occurrence. Except for
the first and sixth periods in which a Department Head usually does not teach, her day is much the same
as those teachers over whom she is head.
During home room period she must acquaint substitutes of teachers absent in her department with
the material which they are to teach and the way in which they arc expected to teach it. During her
two vacant hours, she must sec that the substitutes are proceeding in the correct manner, must formulate
courses of study, order any additional supplies which are needed, and occasionally visit the classes of each
teacher under her direction. She is expected to commend each for her strong points in teaching and to
advise her in a tactful way how to overcome her weaker points.
She often finds it necessary to call a departmental meeting to assure the fact that there is a general
coordination among her teachers concerning the material covered and the manner of covering it. The
latest and most effective teaching technique according to educational experts is discussed in her monthly
meetings which she must plan.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
Rockford High School graduated its first class in 1885. At that time the public school system was
managed by a committee of the city council. There was no Board of Education, with authority, to create
school districts; to appropriate funds for grounds, buildings, equipment, salaries; and to supervise the
whole system of public schools in Rockford.
Many years ago a school consisted of a one-room building in which all grades met with a single in-
structor presiding over all. Because the schools were small and the equipment scant, each teacher could
take care of his own school. Since then, towns have increased in population, and naturally there are
more pupils enrolled in schools. This means a greater number of buildings, many more teachers, a great
deal of equipment, and some one to take care of it. Consequently, the managing of public schools has of
necessity become more complicated.
The first graduating class of Rockford High School consisted of twenty students, while the class of
'35 consisted of six hundred and seventy-two students. In the last fifty’ years ten thousand graduates
have passed from the halls of Rockford High School. Half of them have been graduated in the last dec-
ade. Even since 1900 the high school attendance has increased remarkably. Today the high school at-
tendance is three times what it was then.
All this proves that there was need of a more elaborate power behind the schools than there was
when the high school was first organized. In 1906 a law was passed which provided for a Board of Edu-
cation for Rockford schools consisting of ten members and a president. The members of the board are
appointed by the Mayor and approved by the City Council. Today this form of governing the schools is
still used.
Besides its other duties, the board must in its budget include money for salaries of teachers,
clerks, and janitors: for books, repairs, and new equipment; for fuel, electricity, water, and insurance; and
for health service. Funds must be provided for all of these things, and yet the cost of an hour's instruc-
tion for a pupil in senior high school is only nine cents. The cost of a day's instruction in senior high
school is approximately fifty-seven cents.

The Student Council of Rockford Senior high school was organized in
1915. It is the only student group in school which serves as the direct means
of association between the student body and the faculty.
During the meetings many of the affairs of the school are discussed from
the students’ point of view. New plans are inaugurated and new ideas arc
adopted for the betterment of the school in general. The possibility of having
class sweaters has been considered by the council, but no definite decision
has been reached.
In the early part of December the council begins to plan one of its most
benevolent and worthy activities, that of preparing baskets for the needy.
Members of the council are shown just before setting out to distribute their
annual Christmas baskets.
The officers of the first semester were Vernus F.ngebretson, president;
Robert Scott, vice-president; Veto Tangorra, secretary, and Mitzi Capron,
treasurer. At mid-year, vacancies caused by graduating officers were filled
by Paul Dooley, as vice-president, and Vera Friberg as secretary.
Kleckner, LaGrandc, Cox, Haller, Lofgren, Bloom, Pasquale, White,
French, Balmer. Bixby. Jones, Carlson, Pontius, Kingman, Rogers, Lillyquist,
Mikkclson, Hcgberg, Maguire, Silver, Swenson, Sage, Schneider, Shaw, Dins-
more, Arnold, Blue, and Smith are half of the members of the Student
Council.

The pupils of each home room elect one of their number to represent
them in the council. He must be passing in everything at the time of his
election. This person reports the activities of the council to the home room,
and often seeks their opinions on matters that are being discussed.
The Athletic Board of Control, formerly an independent organization,
is now affiliated with the Student Council. The Board was created to govern
all affairs pertaining to athletics, and to award letters. All problems and dis-
putes that arise concerning school athletics are discussed and settled by this
athletic governing body. Student members of the Board arc Paul Dooley,
Melvin Johnson, and Vera Friberg.
Another standing committee in the Student Council is the Organization
Board. It is the duty of this group to supervise and govern the activities
of the school’s many organizations, and to determine the need for new ones.
Likewise, they must obtain and have on file the names of all the students
serving as officers in the various clubs. Members of this board are Lois
Blue, John Holmstrom, Harriet Schneider, and George Garnhart.
The rest of the members active in the council are Klampe, Thompson,
DiPuma, McClure, Tormohlen, Block, Holmstrom, Garnhart, Lundquist,
Mandt, Freek, Hanchette, Walman. Adolphson, Bardelli, Anderson, McLean,

A national honorary society for high school journalists, the Quill and
Scroll Society, was organized at the University of Iowa in 1926 to instill in
students the ideal scholarship, to advance clear and forceful writing, and to
produce a higher standard of journalism. The Rockford chapter was organ-
ized in 1929.
Quill and Scroll has as its motto: “Ye shall know the truth and the
truth shall make you free." In order to be eligible for membership, the
student must be either a junior or a senior and must rank in the upper third
of his class scholastically. He must have done outstanding work on the publica-
tions, and have been approved by the publications adviser. Miss Obye, and
Mr. Blue. A final approval must be submitted by the national secretary-
treasurer before the candidate is accepted.
During the last few years the Quill and Scroll has been sponsoring and
arranging for good-will assemblies with Elgin and Freeport. Representing
varied activities, the delegates who went to Elgin this year were Clifford
Gustafson, Athletics: Gordon Mandt, Debate; Lois Blue, Annual Editor:
Irwin Lambka, Owl Editor: Mae Dahlquist and Donald Coil, Music: and
Janet Ferguson, Winfield Baumann, and Doris Leatherbec, members of the
publications staff.
Lois Blue, Editor of this year's Annual; Irwin Lambka, Editor of the
Owl; Nellie Sanders, Publications bookkeeper; and Robert Lyons, head of
this year’s athletic section of the Annual, arc worthy of mention.

The Honorary Musical Society, whose adviser and founder is Miss Amy
Hollern, was organized in the spring of 1928 in order to discover individual
talent and to increase the student’s appreciation of classical music. This
organization offers the students an excellent chance to contribute their ideas
in connection with music.
The society consists of fifteen members, each active in the different
fields of music, who meet three times a semester. Mae Dahlquist, possesser
of a trained voice, and the outstanding student in the Music Department,
has been chosen as an eminent member in the A Cappella Choir. Donald
Coil, pianist and president of the society, is an active member of the Music
Appreciation chib. Others worthy of mention are Henry Coretz, an excel-
lent violinist, and Helen Koweleski, who is skillful in playing the piano.
Qualifications for becoming a member of this society are that the
student must be a junior or senior, and he must be taking music lessons
outside of school. Tryouts are held each semester before an elected student
and members of a faculty committee, who choose the new members. Each
member is required to contribute to three meetings. In addition members
take part in various assembly programs, provide the music for the Junior
Play, and furnish entertainment for other outside activities. An important
event is the Musical Tea which is given each spring to climax the year's
activities.
Page 53
In order to be eligible for membership in the National Honor Society,
a student must rank in the upper third of his class scholastically, and must
excell in leadership, service, and character. Not more than five percent of
second semester Juniors, ten percent of first semester Seniors, and fifteen
percent of second semester Seniors may be voted into the society each year.
The list of those eligible is voted on by teachers and upperclassmen, and
then it is turned over to a committee of faculty members who make the final
selection.
Markeson Varland administered the oath last year. Leonard Haddad
as vice-president will give the induction speech this year. Fred Ascani was
elected president of the group, and Janet Ferguson, secretary. Janet Fergu-
son, president of the F. L. S. club, was likewise chosen as its outstanding
member.
New members initiated at the end of 1935 were Nelson, Vernor, Ahl-
quist, Moon, Hanson, Beyer, McDermaid, Ferguson, Miller. Nelander,
Crum, Erikson, Mikleton, Skogjund,\ Matheson, Bjorkhmd, Schneider,

The Rockford Senior high school chapter of the National Athletic
Scholarship Society was organized in 1929. The purpose of the club is to
stimulate a greater desire for higher standards of scholarship among the
athletes of the school. To be eligible, the candidate for membership must
have an athletic director in one of the four major sports: basketball, football,
swimming, or track; or letters in two minor sports. Another important
factor in the student's eligibility is that his average in all his school work
must at least equal or surpass that of the average student for three or more
consecutive semesters. It is also important for the student to have shown the
highest type of citizenship and sportsmanship in all the various sports in
which he may have participated. Likewise Mr. James Blue must agree and
give his approval to all the candidates who desire to become members.
There are no officers in this club or dues or activities; it is wholly an
honorary organization. Mr. Blue has acted as sponsor for this club since
it was organized here in Rockford.
Jack Griffith, football; and Frank Sisti, basketball; are two members of
the society who have been chosen as eminent members of the Boys' Physical
Education department.
George Garnhart and Bill Moucoulis have high scholastic records to
couple with their football careers.

combined sports and studies are grouped in the upper picture.

The managers of the various teams arc very important to the success
of those teams. They take care of the many small details which usually
fall to an assistant coach. Warren Miller, Stuart Melquist, Warren Berg-
holt, and John Cleary were the managers of the heavyweight football team.
George Nelson, Archie McCallum, and Lee Hoover performed the same
duties for the lightweights. Warren Miller, George Saunders, and Charles
Hallgren aided Coach Laude with the heavyweight basketball team. Stuart
Melquist and Walter Johnson helped Mr. Lundahl with the lightweights. The
swimming manager this year was Harry Gripp, and Joe Blackburn was
manager for the track team.
Cheerleaders who have a great deal to do with the success of rallies
diligently endeavor to create school spirit at the games. This year the lead-
ers were Jefferson Crawford, Roy Hedberg, Ward Thompson, and Roger
Porter.
Philip Tormohlen chosen outstanding member of the 8-5-3 club was
always willing to do whatever was asked of him.
Captaining this year’s debate team, Gene Paulson has shown a great
deal of enthusiasm and interest in developing her arguments.
Prominent in both the Book club and G. A. A. and because of her
cooperation and reliability Julie Smith was chosen an outstanding member
of both clubs.
This year a regiment of two battalions was formed and therefore posi-
tions were available for two majors and a colonel. Robert McCarthy was
appointed the first colonel.

This representative group of students is the cream of Rockford high
school’s athletic crop. Taking part in this conference are the captains of all
of the teams. Frank Sisti, and his co-captain, LcRoy Roland, have led the
lightweight basketball team through a spectacular season; Doug Homs,
in his captaincy, helped a great deal to gain points for the swimming team;
George Petta captained the lightweight football team; Clifford Gustafson
shared honors with Louis Castiglioni in leading the heayweight basketball
players; Dave Denny was an excellent track captain; and Bill Watson took
over the duties of the heavyweight football captain.
A number of Rockford boys were selected as members of the All-
Conference football teams as a result of their outstanding playing. Those
from the heayweight team arc John Licali, guard; Bob Wilson, tackle;
Bennie Crosby, halfback; and Louis Coletta, quarterback. The All-Con-
ference players on the lightweight team are Don Scott, end; Stanley Stasica,
halfback; George Petta, quarterback; and Gilbert Gunther, guard.
In the Junior Engineering Society, the one who has contributed the most
is Donald Lillie.

Buratti, and Mary Tassoni,

letters to girls. The minor award is received after four semesters of per-
fect attendance at the meetings. To get a major “R” the members must
attend for five semesters, taking part in both sports and swimming. Miss
Mildred Currier, physical education instructor, is here presenting a group
of girls with their “R’s.”

Education department, since she has had six semesters of perfect attendance.

English—Foreign Language
Preparation for actual needs of life is the
objective of the English curriculum, since
nothing reflects so greatly on the individual
as does his command of English language.
Courses offered in American and English
Literature develop in the student an apprecia-
tion, knowledge, and judgment of poetry,
prose and drama; in Debate and Speech much
emphasis is placed upon oral work that the
pupil may learn how to express himself
clearly and forcefully before an audience.
Composition courses stress correct grammar
forms, word usage, and vocabulary. For the
person who desires to write, Newswriting
and Creative writing may be substituted for
Composition in the junior year. The depart-
ment also offers courses in Dramatic Art
and Bible.
With the word “internationalism” on every-
one's lips, youth of this modern day and age
has become intensely interested in other
nations of the world. He is striving to
understand people, hitherto foreign to him,
because he is being bound closer to them.
Nothing is more helpful toward establishing
a congenial relationship with these people
than the study of their language and customs.

Foreign Language—Social Science
High school courses in French, German,
and Spanish offer a fundamental knowledge
of foreign literature, music, and art as well
as a brief study of the people. Latin forms
a practical basis for the other languages, and,
more important, is an indispensable aid to
anyone who desires to enter a professional
field of any sort.
Social study deals with human activities
which arise as a result of group life. Early
European History I and II deal with experi-
ments of the people in Western Asia and
Europe before and after the Eighteenth
Century. World Historj’ I and II concerns
the people of Western Asia, Asia, Europe,
and America. The history of this country
is studied in United States History I and II.
Economics teaches us the fundamentals of
making a living, while American Government
and Sociology deal with the political side of
group life and the human welfare side of
group life respectively. The Government
classes are made more interesting by visits
to city council meetings and trials in the
county court. In Sociology students survey
the social agencies.
Page 147
DEPARTMENTS
Mathematics—Science
Since Mathematics stimulates clear and
concise thinking, it aids a student in all his
Subjects. Algebra 1 and 11 give the pupil
a basic knowledge of the formula, equation,
and graph; an understanding of deductive
proofs and how to apply them practically is
derived from Geometry 1 and 11. In Algebra
HI the student's power in the use of Al-
gebra is extended to form a basis for future
use of mathematics.
Advanced courses in mathematics are
found iii Solid Geometry and College Alge-
bra. The objective of Trigonomcrty is to
develop an appreciation of its practical util-
ity to the surveyor, navigator, astronomer.
and engineer, and the formation of a basis
for future preparation of the student if his
work demands it.
Different courses of science enable us to
appreciate and interpret nature and to utilize
the forces of nature. If one should like to
know about plants, he would take Botany 1
and II. Pupils who are interested in ani-
mals take Zoology I and II, or it they wish
to understand how machines increase man's
efficiency, they take Physics 1 and II.

With business becoming increasingly im-

commercial studies arc gaining in signifi-
cance. Business offers a variety of occu-
pations for the youth of today who wish to
pursue a profitable and interesting career.
Every student should have a general knowl-
edge of the commercial world and its tac-
tics, for he cannot avoid coining in contact
with it.
For those who desire preparation in sec-
retarial and office work, courses in typing,
shorthand, and bookkeeping are offered;
while those who plan to enter other com-

Home Economics—Industrial
Home Economics is essential as a part of
the cultural or liberal education of every
high school girl. The subject not only pre-
sents and solves typical domestic problems,
but also prepares girls to a certain extent
to be dressmakers, nursery governesses, or
assistants in doctors’ offices.
Four semesters of Clothing are offered
in which home economics takes up in turn
the sewing of the garment, design in clothes,
good grooming, hygiene of clothing, and bud-
geting a wardrobe.
In the two Foods courses nutrition, health,
and food values are studied with cooking
processes. Needlecraft, Home Nursing,
Home Management, and Everyday Living
for Girls completes the curriculum with a
course similar to the last, which is offered
to boys.
The purpose of industrial and vocational
courses is to acquaint the student with in-
dustrial activities and drawing room pro-
cedures. A basic knowledge of tools, ma-
chines, and materials and their application to
industry is imparted in the courses. Many of
the classes which have special ability in in-
dustrial arts field are given unit trade courses
that prepare them for entrance in the
machine, automobile, or pattern trades.

Industrial—Art
Because of the training received in the
courses offered, many boys have been placed
as apprentices in the factories of the city.
In the industrial art courses, Electric Ma-
chine, Pattern, Printing, and Cabinet Shops
are offered those who desire them. Courses
for persons interested in Mechanical Draw-
ing. Trade Drawing, Architectural Drawing.
and Machine Drawing are also available.
Because the art of a country inevitable
reflects its social, industrial, and religious
culture, the pursuit of it necessarily becomes
a very imnortant course of study.
Art courses arc offered in high school
mainly that everyone may learn to appreciate
the works of the great masters and to dis-
tinguish between qualities of art, and also
that those who have a natural talent should
have opportunity to develop it and express
themselves.
Four semesters of well-balanced activity
in drawing, design, color, and craft are of-
fered. These courses are planned to de-
velop an art judgment and discrimination.
Following these courses more opportunity
for specialization is offered; and the student
may work at painting, sculpturing, architec-
ture. interior decoration, designing, or de-
veloping whatever his artistic desires may be.

Music—Physical Education
For those who love rhythm ami song.
extra-curricular activities, as well as varied
classes, are offered by the school's music de-
partment. Music Appreciation 1 and 11 is
recommended to all students who wish to
become familiar with good music. Harmony
induces a pupil to analyze harmonies that
are sung or played, and it also gives the
student a chance to express his own ideas
in music.
The various singing organizations: A Cap-
pella Choir. Treble Clef, Boys and Girls Glee
Clubs, and Class Voice train the individual
in voice and tone control. Orchestra and
Band help the student to learn cooperation
with others, accuracy and skill in reading
music, true intonation, and sustained tone
blending.
Health and Physical Education sets a high
standard of living and provides an oppor-
tunity for the individual to react to situations
that are physically wholesome, mentally stim-
ulating, and socially sound. All boys are
required to take either two years of physical
education or military training for graduation.
Boys Health and Physical Educaiton 10B
consists of talks on hygiene and a thorough
physical examination.

Physical Education—Boys and Girls
Organization work, simple marching tac-
tics, beginners' calisthenics, basketball, foot-

semester course.
The department courses for 10A, 11B, and
11 z\ are advanced work in the subjects
learned in the 10B course as well as track
fundamentals, baseball, volleyball, advanced
movements in drill tactics, wrestling, and
boxing. Swimming may be substituted for
gymnasium work after the first semester.
Physical exercise has been increasingly
popular throughout the ages, and the stu-
dents in the high school find it one of their
most entertaining subjects. The girls in
their courses indulge in various competitive
sports such as basketball and baseball. For
those more socially inclined there is a course
in dancing which includes both ballroom and
folk-dancing Four semesters of swimming
are also offered, including instruction for
beginners, divers, and Red Cross examina-
tions.
The courses teach the principles of good
health, sportsmanship, and cooperation with
others. Enjoyment of a sport in watching
others play is increased by a thorough un-
derstanding of the rules of the game.

School Nurse
As early as eight o’clock in the morning.
Miss Helen Wray, school nurse, is busy ex-
amining and admitting students who have
been absent, and giving admits to those who
wish to be excused from gym or swimming.
Throughout the day from sixty to eighty
students go to the nurse’s room either be-
cause they feel ill or have received a minor
injury.
Assisting the nurse is a staff of efficient
workers who are Gertrude Skinner, Adeline
Wasilis, Margaret Anderson, Crystal Lind,
Ruth Harris, Eleanore Bennett, and Betty
Patton.
Miss Wray gives a series of hygiene talks
to the sophomores in girls physical education
classes; she also gives them health exam-
inations and vision tests, and sees that all
defects arc corrected. Before a student is
allowed to take swimming, he or she must
have had his heart tested by the school doc-
tor, who does this in the nurse’s room.
The nurse in her work tries to stimulate
the student's health habits and give him a
greater appreciation of normal living. Posters
and magazine articles have proved very help-
ful in accomplishing these goals.

Library
One of the busiest and most popular spots
in school is the library, which is under the
experienced supervision of Miss Mary Davis.
Even before school, students arc seen hurry-
ing in and out of the library, doing last min-
ute reference work, or checking out a good
novel to be read over the week-end. During
the day, pupils come down in their vacant
hours to take advantage of the comprehensive
collection of books that can be used in their
work. Many new books were added to the
collection last spring.
Miss Davis has an efficient library board
to assist her in the work. This year Ruth
Nelson, Marvis Raverty, Elsie Dau, and
Marlyn Morris initiated a new project by re-
binding old and tattered books; hence, they
gained practical experience while improving
the condition of the books.
Likewise, an extensive collection of pic-
tures which were previously filed in envelopes
have been mounted on sturdy cardboard by
another group of girls. Jeanette Kipp has
made numerous and colorful posters to il-
lustrate books or interesting topics that can
be found in the library.

The Reserve Officers Training Corps has
for its object a threefold purpose. The first
purpose is to lay a foundation of intelligent
citizenship by inculcating in the student, hab-
its of precision, orderliness, courtesy, cor-
rectness of posture, physical development,
leadership, and respect for and loyalty to
constituted authority. The second purpose
is to prepare the student for further military
instruction which will qualify him for a po-
sition of leadership in time of a national
emergency. The final purpose is to provide
the nation with an electorate thoroughly in-
formed of the purpose and necessity for a
sane and reasonable policy of national de-
fense.
A brilliant year for the local unit started
in April, 1935, when the rifle team brought
home many honors. In firing the Sixth
Corps Area Intercollegiate Match, the team
placed first while in the National Intercol-
legiate Match the team came out in fifteenth
place in the United States. In the Hearst
Trophy Match, which is fired by teams in the
sixth corps area, Rockford placed in second.
fourth, fifth, and twenty-fourth places.
David Hacker was the high score man in
the entire corps area.

success. Company D, captained by De-
Forest Congleton, won high honors at the
meet by winning company drill and platoon
drill. Robert McCarthy commanded the
winning platoon, although Lieutenant Ronald
Breckenridge’s platoon from Company B
ran a close second. Captain Congleton won
the much coveted sabre for being the best

An entire year’s work was culminated on
May 29, with the honor school inspection.
With the new uniforms and a very good ap-
pearance in drill, the unit was able to win
very easily honor school rating for the
twelfth time.
On the day following the inspection, the
unit marched in the Memorial Day Parade,
and many comments were made on the fine
appearance of the unit.
The first semester of the school year 1935-
1936 began with the unusually large enroll-
ment of three hundred forty.

Because of the unusually large enrollment
and the exceptional amount of good officer
material, the decision was made to expand
the unit to a regiment.

The aim of the founder of the Girls' /Kthletic Association
was to further sportsmanship in athletics between the three
classes in Rockford high school.
l_ast year the club had three tournaments in the sports section
and a swimming meet in the swimming division. The volley
ball tournament held in the fall resulted in a tie, each class
winning one game and losing one.
In the early spring the basketball tournament was staged.
The final result showed that the Juniors won with two victories
and no defeats, and the Sophomores took second place with one
victory and one defeat.
Both the swimming meet and the baseball tournament were
held in late spring. In the baseball tournament which was
played in the boys’ gym the Juniors were again victorious, while
the Seniors placed second.
The swimming meet also saw the Juniors victors; but the
individual high point maker of the meet was Jeanette Lundvahl,
a senior. Ribbons were awarded to the high scorers in each
section, who were Jeanette Lundvahl, senior: Irene Carlson,
junior; and Leona Shakotzus. sophomore. There were three
divisions in which a contestant might compete: diving, racing,
and form swimming; each person was allowed to enter only two.

Girls’ Athletic Association
As to meetings, the club has tour regular times a week.
Monday night is Sophomore sports night; Tuesday night is the
swimming period for every one; Wednesday and Thursday
nights arc respectively for Senior and Junior sports. On these
nights the classes play the sport in season, and the swimming
section practices strokes and dives.
Both major and minor letters are awarded to members of
the club. Major award aspirants must have had five semesters
of perfect attendance, of which one semester must be completed
in each of the sports and swimming sections. To win a minor
award, applicants must have had perfect attendance for three
semesters in either sports or swimming. All award winners
are required to pay dues on time, to be passing in every subject,
and to show’ good citizenship at all times. The awards are pat-
terned after a design conceived by Charlotte Belfield, a former
member.
This year the association had charge of the color day pre-
ceding the Freeport football game. It proved to be a very-
successful venture.
Miss Mildred Currier serves as adviser of the club, and in
charge of the swimming section is Miss Marion Pierce.

A. B. L.
A. B. L. girls, “Admirers of Hcatitiful Literal lire." are, as the name of the club
implies, students interested in masterpieces written in former ages and those which have
been produced in modern times.
Junior or senior girls who have been recommended by their English teachers and
have attained at least an A or B average in English, are eligible for membership in the
club. After recommendation they are voted upon by a committee of club members.
Organized in 1921, the club at present has sixty members, only five below the number
allowed the constitution.
The purpose of the society is to further the students’ appreciation of literary works.
The A. B. L. Club, with Miss Gladys Ekeberg as the adviser, meets the second and fourth
Tuesday of each month. Nineteen points is the number required of each girl to retain
membership for each semester, but two absences exclude a member from the organization.
Many varied and interesting programs have been planned for the club meetings.
Programs have included outside speakers, book reviews, a debate, and other literary
interests. In observance of Book Week, the girls wrote and produced a play. Reverend
Norman Zulauf, pastor of the Bethel Evangelical Church, gave a very interesting talk on
"The Bible as Literature" and also spoke about Shakespeare’s plays. Social problems and
occupations were discussed by Mrs. Vivian Carter Johnson, head of the girl scouts in
this city. A group discussion followed this program. Miss Ekcbcrg related her trip
through Europe which was taken last summer. Most of the girls participated in the
programs during the semester.
As usual, the A. B. L. and Walter Hampden Clubs combined and promoted an
evening party in the spring.
The outstanding accomplishment of the club is the awarding of the A. B. L. cup.
This cup. similar to the American Legion cup, is engraved w’th the name of the most
outstanding girl of the senior class. This girl chosen by a group of members, must he
noteworthy in leadership, service, and scholarship.
The first semester officers were Jane Wortham, president; Olga Haddad, vice-
president; Rogene Hegberg, secretary; Harriet Schneider, treasurer; and Catherine
Haller, program chairman. Second semester officers were the following: Jeanne Rogers.
president; Dorothy Corlett. v’ce-president: Eleanore Larson, secretary; Pauline Johnson,
treasurer; and Jane Wortham, program chairman.

RAB AUTHORS
The Rab Authors club was founded in 1926 by Miss Mellie John and a few students
interested in creative writing. The name is derived from its writers and from the initials
of the school colors, red and black. The purpose of the club is to uphold the principle
of good creative writing and to bring together those interested in it. For four years it
published an All-American magazine composed of contributions from the students.
To be eligible for membership a boy or girl must be recommended by a member of the
English department. In applying for membership he must submit two articles worthy of
publication. By these articles the applicant is judged both on ability to write and origin-
ality in writing.
The club meets on alternate Thursdays. Each meeting is opened with a selection by
the Honorary Musical Society. This year contemporary literature has been studied.
During the meetings books are discussed and original writings read. Sometimes the
meetings are entirely social, as at the time of the initiation, or after refreshments are
served.
An outstanding speaker was Mr. Joseph B. Nash, author of many travel articles for
various newspapers and a former member of the club, who spoke on "Hollywood and
Personalities There.”
The Christmas program was very informal. Everyone sang and little Suzanne Rutz
gave a reading. Except for the ones by Mr. Nash and Suzanne, the programs have
been planned and given by the students exclusively.
One program that was very popular with students was presented by Jane Bjorklund
and George Garnhart who gave sketches of Gertrude Stein and Carl Sandburg. George
Garnhart read some of Miss Stein’s writings.
For an assembly program the Rab .Authors Club presented a mock “man on the
street" playlet with Jack Heath as the man on the street. There were the newspaper
boys, the seething mass (portrayed by Shirley Nusbaum and Lillian Seidlcr), and the rain
(by Jack Price).
The club containing about thirty members is under the supervision of Miss Maude
Weinschcnk. The point system is observed, and fourteen points arc required a semester
of each member if he wishes to continue his membership. Points arc awarded for scrying
on committees, participating in programs, and for being active in one of the major offices.
Irving Ahlquist, George Garnhart. June Bjorklund, and Jcsslyn Jacobson held the
offices of president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer respectively, for the first
semester. In the second semester George Garnhart was president; Lillian Scidler, vice-
president ; Lois Ann Radke, secretary; and Jack Price, treasurer.

WALTER HAMPDEN
If one should happen down 141-way on the second or fourth Tuesday of any month
during the school year, he might chance upon one of the plays that has been given: for
this year the Walter Hampden club has been sponsoring a ‘‘Little Theater" movement.
There has been a play given at every meeting with the exception of the initiation meet-
ing. At the first meeting “The Rector", was given by members of the Dramatic Art I
class. Others given have been "Where But In America," directed by Arlene Skogkmd.
“Brink of Silence." directed by Irene Maguire; and “Trifles,’’directed by Shirley Nusbaum.
The purpose of the club is to study and participate in dramatics as well as further
interest in it. The Walter Hampden club was founded in 1933 under the supervision of
Miss Ina Perrigo, dramatics instructor at the time. Miss Eloise Smith is the present
adviser of the club named after Walter Hampden the famous actor of Shakespercan
plays because of his interest in the furtherance of the legitimate stage.
At the beginning of the school year tryouts are held. As membership is limited to
fifty, the committee may select only those who show talent and interest in dramatics.
In the second semester the cast and stage managers of the Junior Play are invited to
join. This year, however, something new is being done. Anyone attending five of the
“Little Theater" plays may join without trying out. Any member absent from more than
three meetings is automatically dropped.
The club has many social features and functions. Every year the members fill a
Christmas basket and give it to the Student Council to be distributed with their baskets.
This year the club sponsored a color day and rally before the Freeport football game.
The picnic at the end of the year is quite an event: then there is the spring dance, too,
a formal, with A. B. L. The club participates in at least one assembly program a year.
Lois Larson, Eleanor Larson, Harwood Catlin, and Bernard DiPuma presented "In the
Darkness" this year.
Lois Larson, Arlene Skoglund, Dorothy Corlctt, and Eleanor Larson were president,
vice-president, secretary, and treasurer respectively during the first semester. In the
second semester Lois Larson retained her presidency; Jefferson Crawford was elected
vice-president; Elcanore Larson, secretary; and Nancy Mohr, trasurer.

“There is no frigate like a book" is the appropriate motto of the Book club. This
society is hut two years old. In February, 1934, the club began its history with a few
enthusiastic students, and the membership has increased to the present size of twenty
active students.
The Book club is the only organization for both boys and girls who enjoy reading
and studying books. Under the adviser, Miss Hazel Koch, the club meets every other
Friday of each month.
Some of the outside speakers which the club has been fortunate to obtain for their
programs arc Miss Lucy Normile, Dr. Charles P. Connolly, Professor Arthur Scott, Miss
Lorena Church, Miss Rose Anderson, Miss Mary Carlson. “Sentimental Tommy" by
Barrie was one of the books Miss Normile, who is in charge of school cafeterias, liked
and discussed. Miss Normile's topic was "Books I'm Glad I've Read." Dr. Charles P.
Connolly, pastor of the Christian Union Church, interested the club in the reading of the
biography of Paderewski. Professor Scott of the University of Chicago discussed
Ethiopia, and also gave his opinions of the Italian-Ethiopian situation in Africa. As he
had spent some time recently in Ethiopia, he was well qualified to give a very vivid
description of that country. No Book club member would want to read inferior literature
after having heard Miss Lorena Church of Rockford College tell "How to Judge Good
Books." Alexander Woolcott's "ll’hile Rome Burns" was the book about which Miss
Rose .Anderson, secretary to the president of the American Life Insurance Company
of the city, chose to tell the club. The club members had a panel discussion on books
dealing with the background of the French Revolution. Jack price reviewed “Searamouehe”
by Rafael Sabatini; Julie Smith, "The Scarlet Pimpernel" by Baroness Orczy; Maxine
Marshall, Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens: George Craft. “'The ll’u.v of the
Scarlet Pimpernel" by Baroness Orczy; and Wallace Smith gave the history of the
French Revolution. At another meeting Miss Mary Carlson, an English instructor in
the high school, spoke about "Traveling Through the British Isles in Books.”
First semester officers were the following: Julie Smith, president; Rogene Hegberg,
vice-president; Katherine Paulson, secretary; and Beth Welsh, treasurer. Second semester
officers were Albert Eggers, president: Lois Ann Radke, vice-president; Lillian Seidler,
secretary; and Wallace Smith, treasurer.

F. L. S.
If you happen to hear a babble of foreign languages while walking by the auditorium
on either the second or fourth Mondays of the month, don’t be surprised; for it is only
the F. L. S. club holding its regular meeting. Anyone who is taking a foreign language
or has completed a two-year course in one, is eligible for membership in this chib.
The F. L. S. club was only recently organized, in the year 1934. The four foreign
language chibs, German, Deutsche Gesellschaft; Spanish, El Circulo Espanol; Latin,
Fasces; and French. Lc Circle Francais, were all combined. A contest was held to
secure a name for this new organization. The winning name was F. L. S., or Foreign
Language Students club.
The purpose of the club is to foster interest in foreign languages and the customs
and maimers of the different countries. Material which cannot be obtained in the regular
class room curriculum is presented to the students. Each member may learn something
of the life of the other three countries as well as the one about which he is studying.
The program which proved most popular this year was presented by the Spanish
students. The flag of the Americans was explained and a memorial to Columbus was
given. Some students showed a Spanish market scene.
At the meeting of October 28 a program was given by the French division consisting
of a violin solo, French songs, and a talk on the Concierge. The Latin group on Novem-
ber 11 gave a skit, “Gods and Goddesses.” At this meeting a solo was sung by Mae
Dahlquist. Miss Loraine Swanson, high school teacher, told about her recent trip to
Europe for the German division’s program. A successful afternoon party was sponsored
the first semester.
The second semester initiation was in charge of the Latin section and was in the
form of an amateur hour. On March 2 a discussion of German musicians was given
by Clarence MeDermaid. Jack Hanson spoke on "German Names in Literature” and
Robert Lyons, “Germans in Science and Philosophy.” A diversion in the form of German
music was offered by Henry Coretz.
The advisers of the F. L. S. club are Miss Julia Shafer, Miss Jeanne Platt, Miss
Sylvia Brewer, Miss Loraine Swanson, and Miss Margaret Arford. The first semester
officers were Janet Ferguson, president; Alice James, vice-president; Irene Maguire,
secretary; and Donna Jean Brookhart, treasurer. Second semester officers were Janet
Ferguson, president; Albert Eggers, vice-president; Lillian Seidler, secretary; and Donna
Jean Brookhart, treasurer.

8-5-3
Membership for the 8-5-3 or social science club is made up of students in history,
economics, or civics classes. The name of the club is derived from the initial letters
of each one of these subjects, arranged in the numerical position in the alphabet; 8 for 11.
5 for E, and 3 for C.
When the 8-5-3 club was first organized in 1922 it was one of the largest clubs in
Rockford Senior High School; today, there are two hundred and twenty students in the
club under the direction of Miss Edith Whiting. Their meetings are held on alternate
Thursdays. Any student desiring to become a member of this club must be taking a
course in the Social Science department, and. in order to retain his membership, must
pay his dues and attend meetings regularly.
The purposes of the club are to promote an interest in social science subjects by
creating a better understanding of them and to further fellowship and cooperation among
the students. The chib develops leadership by trying to place each member on one or
more committees during the year.
The 8-5-3 club had the first afternoon party of the year on October 9. Miss Edith
Van Duzer, of the public library, spoke about several different books at the meeting of
October 10. Moving pictures were secured for the next meeting.
On December 5, Mr. Elmer Dewey of the high school faculty spoke to the club on
Normandy, which he visited during his trip to Europe.
A varied program was held at the Christmas meeting. A double trio sang several
selections, and Henry Coretz gave a violin solo. The following people told about Christ-
mas in different lands: Mrs. Erank Yuill, England; Miss Minnie Langwill, Scotland;
Miss Jeanette Blomquist, Sweden; Veto Tangorra, Italy; Barbara Kingman, Holland;
Adella Luhman, Spain; and Dorothy Bennett. France. Jack Jervis acted as Santa Claus.
The club has shown generosity in giving away baskets of food at Thanksgiving and
Christmas and in contributing to the purchase of bulbs to beautify the school grounds.
The annual Valentine evening party was held February 15. Later in the second
semester the members enjoyed a picnic.
First semester officers were Virginia Franzen, president; Laura Mae Evans, vice-
president; Marjorie Hall, secretary; Jack Jervis, treasurer; Virginia Crum and Kathryn
Sterling, program chairmen.
The officers of the second semester were as follows: Barbara Kingman, president;
Betty Carlson, vice-president; Rosemary Folgate, secretary; Bob Wolfenspergcr,
treasurer; Dorothy Sharp and Adella Luhman. program chairmen.

COMMERCIA CLUB
■■■MP!
The Commercia club was founded in 1929 under the direction of Mrs. Lucille
Burgoon. It was organized in order that the students of commercial courses might be-
come better acquainted, and that they might hear accomplishments of fellow students
and personal experiences of stenographers and business men. It is also to help the
students of business courses broaden their knowledge of business and to further their
interest in commercial activities. The only requirements for a girl to become a member
of the club are that she is enrolled in a Shorthand class and that she is receiving a grade
of “C” or above in that subject.
The name “Commercia” is derived from the word commercial; but, besides that, each
letter in Commercia stands for a word that is supposed to be a quality found in each
of the members. They arc character, orderliness, manner, memory, enthusiasm, reliability,
cooperation, initiative, and accuracy.
The club of about forty members meets every other week on Monday. The dues
for the old members are fifteen cents and twenty-five cents for the new. Any member
absent more than three times is dismissed from the club.
The most outstanding program of the year was the speech which Mr. Glen Ralston
gave. Mr. Ralston spoke about Ralston Securities, insurance and endowment policies.
Booklets entitled "How to Avoid Inflation” were distributed among the members.
On November 22 the members of the club presented travel talks. When the roll was
called, members answered by telling about trips which were taken during their vacation.
The club held a Hallowe'en party and also a Christmas party at which the members
played games and exchanged gifts. Sponsoring an afternoon party on November 21, the
girls dressed in black trousers, white blouses, and top hats, sold candy bars. Loraine
Ziegler was in charge of obtaining special numbers for the party.
The club also took part in the five-minute assembly programs. Phelles Miller and
Margaret Nelson introduced the club with a short poem. A short skit was given that
showed the advantages of taking shorthand and typewriting. Mary Leslie Wright spoke
about Commercia club and the commercial courses offered by the high school.
Miss Jennie Strawman, the club adviser, chose the club officers and Phelles Miller,
Nellie Sanders, Annie Johnson, and Jane Beck as the most outstanding and active mem-
bers of the club.
The first semester officers were Annie Johnson, president; Lucille Noreiko, vice-
president; Nellie Sanders, secretary; and Arlene Johnson, treasurer. Second semester
officers were Margaret Nelson, president; Merle Maddrell, vice-president; Lucille Noreiko,
secretary, and Loraine Ziegler, treasurer.

w L SECO CLUB
The Seco club was founded in 1924 by Mrs. Ethel Frank in order to form a con-
necting link between the home and school, to develop active and efficient leaders among
women, and to promote interest in Home Economics. The club has been affiliated with the
American Home Economic Association since its organization. Its name is derived from
the first two letters of sewing and cooking to include both sections in the Home Eco-
nomics department. To be eligbile for membership a girl must receive “C+” or above
in one semester of a Home Economics course.
The club meets on alternate Mondays. Members must be present unless excused.
This year the members sewed the armbands for the monitors. For their assembly program
the Seco club dramatized a poem demonstrating washing, ironing, sewing, and cooking.
At an open meeting Miss Floy Dentler, art teacher, gave a talk on interior decorating
which she illustrated with samples of wallpaper and rugs.
Just before Christmas, Miss Serena Holmin, the club adviser, made suggestions tor
Christmas gifts and gave demonstrations on how to wrap Christmas presents. Other
talks given before the club have been by the club members themselves. On December
2, Mary Louise Legge spoke on etiquette, and Elizabeth Higgins gave a talk on the
home economics convention which was held at the Palmer House in Chicago, June 24-28.
At the formal initiation each new member told why she had chosen to join the Seco
club; after these confessions a guessing game was played. Two prizes were awarded;
one to the winning old member and one to the winning initiate. Each old and new mem-
ber introduced herself by standing and giving her name. Two other important events
in the Seco club's calendar were the Christmas party and the taffy apple sale. At the
Christmas party games were played, inexpensive gifts were exchanged, and refreshments
were served. The taffy apple sale was held after school on November 4.
The club keeps a scrap book in which are placed the articles concerning the club
published in the school paper, the Owl. The scrap book also contains the names of the
club officers as far back as 1925.
Miss Holmin chose Betty Jones, Mary Louise Legge, and Dorothy Hosfeldt as
outstanding members.
The first semester officers were Elizabeth Higgins, president: Betty Shaw, vice-
president; Lucille Noreiko. secretary; Betty Jones, treasurer; and Stella Zolenas. social
chairman. During the second semester the offices of president, vice-president, secretary,
and treasurer were held by Elizabeth Higgins, Anita Kissel. Lucille Noreiko, and
Dorothy Hosfeldt respectively. Laura Hoover held the position of social chairman.

JUNIOR ENGINEERING SOCIETY
ill
The Rockford Junior Engineering Society was founded in 1929, but in 1931 it was
reorganized under the direction of the Industrial Department. The name of the society
is derived from the Rockford Engineering Society although it is in no way connected
with it.
The major purpose of the Junior Engineers is to develop a clearer understanding
of engineering as a vocation by bringing information to the members from the engineering
field. A secondary purpose is to provide an opportunity for class fellowship among
the students who are interested in engineering. Requirements for eligibility are enroll-
ment in the Rockford Senior high school: eight credits of high school completed: enroll-
ment. past or present, in an industrial course in the high school or in a higher mathe-
matics course.
Recommendations for membership to the society are made by the applicant's faculty
adviser, and three of his instructors. The club motto is “Safety, Stability and Economy.’’
Meetings are held on the first Monday of every month unless otherwise scheduled.
The programs are either informative talks by local industrial leaders or field trips to
local manufacturing concerns. An outstanding speaker of the year was Mr. LaVern
Ryder of Barber-Colman Company and head of the nationwide Home Craft Association,
who spoke on hobbies in home craft. In his talk, Mr. Ryder brought out the fact that
everyone should have a hobby whether it is in the line of home craft or in the line of
his vocation. He told of the novel hobbies in home craft of prominent Rockford business
men and gave examples. During his talk he displayed a miniature threshing machine,
a perfect model put out by the J. I. Case Company, about eight inches high and ten
inches long.
Among the factories visited were the George D. Roper Corporation and the Rockford
Drop Forge Company. The Rockford Drop Forge Company was especially interesting
because it showed the engineer at work and demonstrated the type of work with which
a mechanical engineer must be familiar.
The size of the organization is about thirty members. The officers elected at the
beginning of the year were Donald Lillie, president: Duane Lillie, vice-president: Robert
Porter, secretary: and Robert Miller, treasurer. These officers were retained during the
second semester. Oscar Olson and Robert Shumway, co-advisers of the Junior Engineer-
ing Society, chose the club officers and Paul White, William Matheson, and William
Green as outstanding members.

DAUBERS CLUB
The Daubers club was organized originally in 1924 as the Paint and Palette club
for the purposes of making outdoor sketches and paintings and inducing a greater interest
in art among the students of the school. When the club took over the art wwk for
the Annual in 1932, the name was changed to its present title. The name Daubers, is,
of course, derived from the fact that the members are given to much experimenting.
The club was reorganized this year under the supervision of Miss Floy Dentler.
The present purposes of the club are to raise the standard of art in the school, to acquire
knowledge of its fundamentals, and to provide through a definite organization, oppor-
tunity for those interested in similar things to meet in a social group. To be eligible a
girl or boy must have a major interest in art and he must, if possible, be enrolled or have
been enrolled in an art class.
In the art courses offered in the Rockford Senior high school an attempt has been
made to give a place commensurate with that which it occupies in life outside. z\rt is
taught for two reasons: first, to cultivate an appreciation of beauty and develop a power
to produce beautiful things; and second, to discover and direct talent.
The club meets on the fourth floor in Room 405 on the second and fourth Wednes-
days of the month. Any member absent two times in succession is automatically dropped.
The majority of the meetings of the first semester were laboratory periods. After
a short business meeting, each member worked on the project. These projects were
such things as illustrating, metal work, cartooning, sketching, painting, and leather tooling.
Members of art classes worked on their class projects.
For the second semester meetings, speakers and field trips were planned by com-
mittees working under the president and vice-president alternately. On February 26
the club visited the Belle Keith Art Gallery to see a group of special water color and
oil paintings. During the latter part of the semester the club toured other art galleries.
The club sponsored a successful afternoon party in the second semester.
Instead of serving refreshments at the various meetings, the Daubers saved their
money to spend on one party, which was held just before Christmas. At it games
were played and a contest was held to see who could cut out the best Christmas tree.
In the first semester Betty Knudson was elected president; Jack Price, vice-president:
Mary Lou Schmaling, secretary; and Dorothea Eichmeyer, treasurer. These officers were
retained throughout the second semester of the year.

BOYS GLEE CLUB
Every Tuesday and Thursday sixth hour one may hear a group of thirty boys' voices
echoing from the Rockford high school music room. None other than the Boys Glee
club is singing under the leadership of Miss Sarena Dunton.
A singing voice and the ability to sing bass or tenor in part music are the require-
ments which are necessary for eligibility in this organization. To retain membership
each boy is required to appear whenever the organization sings on any program. The
boys are given an opportunity to sing songs which are especially written for them and
also to take part in standard male chorus music.
The Boys Glee club has been heard in various assembly programs throughout the
year, but their singing is not limited only to assemblies for they were heard in the
A Cappella Choir concert, at the Rotary club program, and in the operetta. They sing
at the Baccalaureate services also, in June.
For the assembly this year the club presented a very clever sailor minstrel skit, which
was written and directed by one of the members, Tony Twaryonas. He and Stettler
Quist, Eddie Lowdan, Roy Lackey, and Toge Johanson were selected as the most out-
standing and active members of the organization. The Boys Glee club has also organ-
ized a quartet whose members are Roy Anderson, Fred Scully, Togo Johanson, and
Donald Bate.
Each fall the Boys Glee club sends representatives to the State Chorus which meets
at the State University. This year Fred Scully, Allason Gilbert, and Donald Bate rep-
resented the club.
Another outstanding service of the club is their part in the operetta. The leading
male roles in “Rosamunde,” by Schubert, which was given in April were Roy Anderson,
Donald Bate, Bert McCleneghan, Fred Scully, Harwood Catlin, Edward Cronk, and
Gilbert Tunison.
Together with the Girls Glee club the boys sponsored an evening party. At the end
of the semester they had a picnic.
Each year about eight or ten “R” guards for glee club pins are awarded to outstanding
students. In order to receive one of these awards a boy must be considered worthy by
the officers and the director.
Officers for the first semester were as follows: Stettler Quist, president; Eddie
Lowdan, vice-president; Tony Twaryonas, secretary; and Walter Swanborg, treasurer.
Second semester officers were Fred Scully, president; Harold Nelson, vice-president;
Philip DuPlain, secretary; and Toge Johanson, treasurer. The first and second semester
librarian was Roy Lackey.

GIRLS GLEE CLUB
lit
This year the Girls Glee chib has been directed and supervised by Miss Florence
Lovejoy. The girls have met every Monday and Wednesday sixth hour to practice
singing. In this way the girls are given an opportunity to develop musically and derive
pleasure from singing good songs. Every time the glee club appears in concert, each
girl is required to be present.
The Girls Glee club was organized by Mrs. Edward M. Pierce in 1915. There
were thirty members in the original club, and now there are thirty-seven members.
The club was very active in singing both in and outside of school during the past
year. This benefitted both the girls and the public, for the girls improved their voices
and gave pleasure and knowledge to the public through their various programs. The
club participated in radio broadcasts, in the high school Christmas assemblies, and in
Junior high school concerts. It also combined with the other glee clubs in large group
work for an A Cappclla Choir concert in January and again in May. The girls sing
for Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises in June.
A double quartet has been organized this year consisting of Mac Dahlquist, Pauline
Mayes. Lois Carlson, Mariann Rydbom, Jeanette Lundvall, Bernice Lind, Alice Brandt.
and Flora Dahlquist.
For their social affairs the Boys and Girls Glee clubs combined to sponsor an
evening party the first semester. The girls' club also had a picnic in Sinnissippi Park
the first semester.
In April the club combined with the other music organizations to present the oper-
etta, “Rosamunde," a revival of Schubert's “Rosamunde" with the addition of a few-
familiar melodies such as "Serenade" and "Ave Maria." The leading character, Rosa-
munde, was portrayed by Mae Dahlquist. Other leads were taken by Olive Williams,
as Herminia. Alice Brandt as Aja. and Flora Dahlquist as Baucis.
In November Alice Brandt represented the Girls Glee club at Urbana, Illinois, in
the State Chorus which sang for the high school conference.
The officers and director, Miss Lovejoy, choose eight or ten outstanding members
each year to receive an "R” guard for their glee club pins in recognition of their work.
Some of the outstandig members this year have been Marion Wishart, Jean Miller,
Lucille Frye. Bernice Lind, Lois Carlson, and Pauline Hayes.
First semester officers of the club were Jean Miller, president; Mae Dahlquist, vice-
president; Lucille Frye, secretary; Alice Brandt, treasurer: and Pauline Mayes, librarian.
Second semester officers were the following: Marion Wishart, president; Betty Young-
berg, vice-president; Louise Gardner, secretary; and Marie Erickson, treasurer.

A CAPPELLA CHOIR
The A Cappella Choir has been one of the most active and interesting organizations
of the Rockford Senior high school. The choir was organized by Miss Sarcna Dunton
in September 1930 with twelve members. The name means literally “in a church-like
manner," although it has come to mean singing without instrumental accompaniment.
To become a member of the A Cappella Choir one must have had a semester of chorus.
In addition one must possess the ability to follow a part and sing in tune without accom-
paniment and to read part songs of moderate difficulty. To retain membership one must
have attended all of the programs given by the choir. There are at present about thirty-
five members who meet in the music room ever}' day during the first hour.
Perhaps the most outstanding program which was given this year was the A Cappella
Choir concert January 29 at the Rockford Senior high school. The soloists for the
concert were Mae Dahlquist, Marjoria Anderson, Ruth Kullbcrg, Marion Wishart, and
Edwin Fissinger.
The A Cappella 0ioir sang for many occasions the past year; among them were
the Americanization program. Northern Illinois State Teachers Association, a P. E. O.
luncheon at the Junior Woman’s club, over WROK “Know Your School Programs.”
and also in the high school assembles. Other presentations have been made at the
Swedish Free church, the Grace Methodist church, and the First Lutheran church.
The A Cappella 0ioir was also invited to sing at the Rockford College 0iapcl
service in March. Some of the songs which the choir sang were “Sunshine Song,” by
Grieg. “Bless the Lord, Oh My Soul,” by Ippolit of Ivanor, and “Clap Your Hands,” by
Christiansen.
In the State Chorus which assembled at Urbana, Illinois, in November the organi-
zation was represented by Margaret Ekedahl, Virginia Lindberg, Bernice Carlson, Allason
Gilbert. Donald Bate, and Fred Scully. These people were selected on the basis of
quality of voice and length of time in the club.
The most outstanding and active members of this organization as chosen by Miss
Serena Dunton, the director, were Jack Hanson, Allason Gilbert, Mae Dahlquist, and
Ruth Kullbcrg.
As the A Cappella Choir has social affairs as well as musical, the members had a
picnic during the first semester.
First semester officers of the chib were Jean Miller, president; Mae Dahlquist, vice-
president; Lucille Frye, secretary; /Mice Brandt, treasurer; and Pauline Hayes, librarian.
Second semester officers were the following: Marion Wishart, president; Betty Young-
berg, vice-president; Louise Gardner, secretary; and Marie Erickson, treasurer.

JUNIOR GLEE CLUB
hi September 1934 Miss Sarcna Dunton organized a new musical society, the Junior
Glee club. This is the filth musical organization which the high school offers to song
enthusiasts. The new chib was organized because there were more girls capable of
doing glee club work than there were places for in either the Treble Clef or Girls Glee
club.
The girls, for eligibility, must have the ability to sing part songs and also must
appear whenever the club sings. The majority of the twenty-five members are sophomores
who will be able to remain in the club another year or two.
The Junior Glee club was heard in assembly programs, furnishing music for different
club meetings. They have also appeared with the other musical organizations in programs
and in the A Cappella Choir concert.
For the assembly program for the first week of November the girls sang "The
Letter" by Frederick Stock, and "Golden Glow” by Brahms. In the Christmas assemblies
the three glee clubs combined and sang “Child in the Manger" from the Gaelic folk song
setting by Trenharnc.
For the A Cappella Choir concert which was given in January, the Treble Clef
club, Girls Glee club, and the Junior Glee club combined and sang "Child in the Manger"
again. “My Creed" by Garrett, and "The Letter" by Stock. This was the second time
the three groups appeared. The girls were dressed in pastel shades to represent a garden
of flowers.
A double trio was formed the first semester from the Junior Glee club. The mem-
bers of the double trio are Miriam Johnson, Virginia Peterson, Jeanette Best, Eunice
Bradt. Virginia Snivcly, and Alberta Lee,
During the second semester the girls presented a cantata. "Spanish Dances," which
was written by Moszkowski.
The most outstanding and active members from this organization are Eunice Bradt.
Janet Erlandson. Shirley Earngey, and Virginia Torgerson.
A social function in the form of a Halloween party was held during the first
semester.
The first semester officers of the Junior Glee club were Dorothy Peterson, president;
Eunice Bradt, vice-president; Miriam Johnson, secretary; Shirley Mershon. treasurer;
and Virginia Lund, librarian. Second semester officers were as follows: Marion Wishart,
president; Betty Youngberg, vice-president; Louise Gardner, secretary; and Marie
Erickson, treasurer. Virginia Torgerson was accompanist both semesters.

TREBLE CLEF CLUB
iB
There are about twenty girls who compose the chorus group, each of whom is eligible
to try out for one of the picked groups, Glee club, or A Cappclla Choir after a semester's
work. As there are few vacancies at the beginning of the fall term and even fewer in
the second semester, the result has been that many girls were left out until their senior year.
In order that these girls might participate in some form of glee club work, the Treble Clef
club was organized in September 1931 by Miss Sarena Dunton. The club derives its name
from the fact that it is purely a girls’ organization and the music which they sing is
written in the treble clef.
The following qualifications are required: each girl must have had one semester of
music either in Junior or Senior high school before joining the club: she must also
possess a good singing voice: she must be able to read music fairly well, and she must
have a realization of how to use her voice to the best advantage.
The club meets on Mondays and Wednesdays during fifth hour. The members
of the club must do good and faithful work in class, and they are required to appear
with the club when it gives programs. The dues are twenty-five cents a semester.
The club has sung in assemblies, concerts, and also has participated in radio broad-
casts during the past year. It joined with the other musical organizations of the high
school in presenting the Christmas assembly. The club also took part in the A Cappella
concert which was given in January and again in May. The Junior Glee club combined
with the Treble Clef club to present the cantata, “Spanish Dances,’’ by Moszkowski,
this spring.
For the initiation meeting a potluck supper was the feature. The refreshment com-
mittee included Edna Anderson, Mildred O'Neil, and Virginia Gates. On the initiation
committee were Gunhild Larson, Marlette Sandell, Marily Rogers, and Audrey Erickson.
The club has pins with treble clef signs on them. Those members who have been
in the club two semesters who are seniors or who are in double trio may purchase “R”
guards.
The first semester officers of the Treble Clef club were Mildred O’Neil, president;
Bette Engstrom, vice-president: Marlette Sandell, secretary; and Gunhild Larson,
treasurer. Officers during the second semester were Esther Zahn, president; Eva White,
vice-president; Jeanette Smith, secretary; and Marlette Sandell, treasurer.

MUSIC APPRECIATION
The Music Appreciation club was founded in the spring of 1935 under the guidance
of Miss Florence Lovejoy, its object being to further the appreciation and enjoyment
of good music and promote an intelligent interest in it.
An interest in good music is the main requirement for eligibility. The club meets
after school on alternate Mondays. Three inexcused absences automatically expel a
member from the club. Dues are ten cents a semester.
The initiation for the first semester was held in the form of a picnic supper at
Sinnissippi park. On the seventh of October, the club presented a program consisting of
a violin quartet. The quartet was composed of Martha Jane Coil, Jean Carson, Bayard
Lutzhoff, and Jeannette Kipp. They were accompanied by Donald Coil.
At a program featuring Indian music, Mae Dahlquist sang ‘'When I'm Calling You"
from "Rose Marie”: Helen Kowelcski gave a piano solo, "By the Waters of Minnetonka"
by Lieurance; and Donald Coil played the “Ritual Fire Dance" by De Falla. Phonograph
records played were “From the Land of the Sky-Blue Waters" and the "Dagger Dance"
from "Natoma” by Victor Herbert.
On the fourth of November the club presented a Vienese program under the direction
of Martha Jane Coil. Henry Coretz gave a violin solo, "My German Native Land.”
A piano solo, the “Blue Danube," by Strauss, was played by Helen Koweleski. Jean
Carson and Jeanette Kipp presented an arrangement for two violins of “Caprice
Viennois” by Fritz Krcisler. The remainder of the time was spent in listening to
recordings.
At one program recordings of negro spirituals were played. They included “Deep
River”, "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot", "Nobody Knows De Trouble I’ve Seen”, “Go
Down, Moses”, "Lonesome Road", and “Standin’ In De Need o’ Prayer”. On the eigh-
teenth of November Indian music was again the theme of the program. Marjorie Rup-
pert sang "The Indian Love Call" and Ruth Kullberg sang "By the Water ot Minne-
tonka" and "Lullaby.”
The first semester officers were Donald Coil, president; Lois Boomer, vice-president;
Mac Dahlquist, secretary; Jeannette Kipp, treasurer; and Martha Jane Coil, program
chairman. Second semester officers were Martha Jane Coil, president; Jeannette Kipp,
vice-president; Donald Coil, secretary; and Glenn Ridnour, treasurer.

Hi-y
The Ili-Y club was organized in 1912 by Mr. Leo Lyons with the purpose to create.
maintain, and extend throughout the high school and community higher standards of
Christian living. At that time the Hi-Y club was under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A.
which had endeavored to introduce this organization into the school years ago. The name
Hi-Y is derived from the first two letters of “High’’ in the high school and the first
letter "Y” in Y. M. C. A., which stands for Young Men's Christian Association.
The club's platform is to develop in its members the Four C's which are Clean
Speech. Clean Sportsmanship, Clean Scholarship, and Clean Living. Any junior or
senior boy who feels that the purpose of the club is worthy of his sincere endeavor to
support is eligible for membership in the club. If a boy wishes to retain his member-
ship, he must attend meetings regularly and pay his dues. Meetings are held on alternate
Wednesday evenings at 7:30. Seventy to eighty boys who meet with Mr. Paul S.
Conklin, their adviser, constitute the membership.
The programs consist of an equal balance of outside speakers and speeches by
members of the club. The programs which proved the most popular this past year were
the potlucks, the Father and Son banquet, and the State Older Boys Meet.
On September 25, Mr. Charles A. Beyer of the high school faculty, spoke on his
recent trip through the East. The club held a fellowship meeting on October 2. After
a short business meeting the members participated in basketball and swimming in the
high school gymnasium and swimming pool. The members also rehearsed for the first
time the new club song. "For the Man of Galilee". On Sunday morning, October 6, the
first annual breakfast was held at Sinnissippi park.
On October 16 an induction service and banquet was held for twenty-one new mem-
bers at the Court Street M. E. Church. Walter Genrich was appointed chairman and
Hugh Eberhart, his assistant. The induction service was given by John Gustafson, and
Leigh Gibbs presided as master of ceremonies. After community singing had been led
by Peter Burt, the Reverend Albion Tavernier of the Centennial M, E. Church spoke
on "Goals of Youth.” Mr. Conklin also presented a short talk. The remainder of the
program featured Ross Cornelius, who told about clean speech; John Muth, clean schol-
arship; John Meiner, clean athletics; and John Woodford, clean living. On October 22
the boys had a weiner roast at Sinnissippi park.
The first annual Quad-City banquet was held at the Centennial M. E. Church on
November 20. There were more than thirty members in three delegations from Elgin.
Belvidere, and Freeport who attended. Bill Matheson was appointed chairman of the
banquet.

Three special reception committees were also appointed to act as hosts to the visiting
groups, consisting of Bayard Lutzhoff and Duane Lillie. Elgin; Paul DeNure and .Arthur
Ticknor, Freeport; and Donald Lillie and Ralph Brown, Belvidere. The principal speaker
of the evening was Mr. Karl C. Williams, Rockford attorney, who spoke on "Youth
Movements in America.” To add to the general feeling of fellowship at the meeting,
each member of the Rockford Hi-Y selected a member of one of the visiting delegations
to sit beside at the dinner and to entertain during the evening.
On December 6, 7 and 8 a group of nine boys accompanied by Mr. Conklin attended
the twenty-second annual Older Boys Conference at Rock Island, Illinois. The group
included Arthur Duree. Hugh Eberhart, John Gustafson. Bob Lyons, Bob Nelson, Stuart
Nelson, Charles and Richard Michaelsen, John Woodford, John Muth, and Leigh Gibbs.
"Thinking Straight" was selected as the conference theme with Dr. Frank Shitz, a well
known author, educator, and publicist of Dayton .Ohio, as the principal speaker. Other
speakers and leaders included T. II. Nelson, president of a Y. M. C. A. college; Selmer Berg,
superintendent of Rock Island schools; and C. G. Moser, boys’ work secretary of the
Evanston Y. M. C. A., who acted as song leader. The program centered around addresses,
open forums, and discussions about personal standards, living with others, education, and
personal religion.
The Hi-Y held a Christmas potluck on December 18. Dean Olson was appointed
general chairman. Peter Burt, Bob Lyons, Ralph Brown, and Donald Coil led in com-
munity singing. The program included reports on the Older Boys Conference at Rock
Island, with John Gustafson summarizing the events. Mr. Conklin reported the results
of the leaders meetings.
At the meeting of January 29, Mr. Victor Plummer gave a talk before the club.
One of the important events which the Hi-Y club holds annually is the Father and
Son banquet. This year the banquet was held on February 19 at the Central Christian
Church. The principal speaker, .Attorney Stanton Hyer, discussed the club’s platform,
“The Four C’s". Reverend Allen T. Shaw, minister of the church; Mr. Harry C.
Muth, principal of the Roosevelt Junior high school; and Mr. Conklin also gave short
talks.
The annual "Buddy Banquet" took place April 22. The club awarded guards for
Hi-Y pins to officers in recognition for their work in the club.
First semester officers were John Gustafson, president; Allen Gable, vice-president;
Tom Swords, secretary; Robert Lyons, treasurer: and Leigh Gibbs, chaplain. Second
semester officers included John Gustafson, president; Hugh Eberhart, vice-president;
William Kecly, secretary; and Robert Lyons, treasurer.

TRi-y
In 1931 the Grace Dodge, Gracia Norton, and Blue Triangle clubs were all com-
bined to form the Try-Y club. Its name refers to the three-sided “Y" which means Body,
Mind, and Spirit. The Tri-Y is composed of R. H. S. girls and is under the auspices
of the Y. W. C. A. The club's slogan is “to face life squarely’’ and its motto and pur-
pose are “to find and give the best.” It also aims to build character.
The chib with an enrollment of 65 members meets every Friday at the Y. W. C. A.
under the leadership of Miss Grace Kelley. On alternate Fridays a business meeting is
held. Interest group work is done on the other Fridays. The interest group includes
marionettes, handicraft, sports, such as basket ball and volley ball, and also dancing.
On September 27 initiation of twenty-eight new members was held. The initiation
committee chairman was Edna Anderson. A Setting Up Conference was held at Camp
Rotary October 5. On October 11, the club code was discussed. During the first semes-
ter the club was divided into two teams for a contest that was held to secure a plan by
which to open the meeting of the club. Charlotte Buchanan and Jane Beck were elected
captains of the teams. The losing team was to provide a potluck supper for the winning
team.
The girls decorated the gym with crepe paper and corn husks for the Halloween
party Wednesday, November 1. The members of the Homemakers, a division of the
Tri-Y. held its annual Christmas party on December 18, at 7:30 p. m. The girls’
mothers were invited to attend. A play, “The Rehearsal" was presented in which the
cast included Loretta Carlson, Betty Colver, Doris Beck, Virginia Peterson, Helen
Tumblin, and Ruth Garman.
The most outstanding program which the club has is its recognition of service. It
is very impressive and is given for recognition of new officers and new members. This
service sets forth the ideals, purposes, slogan, motto, and explains the code of the club.
This past year the club has been assisting the V. W. C. A. in their Open House
programs which have been held every Friday nigln. Games such as ping-pong, badmin-
ton, and checkers were played, and there was also dancing in the club rooms.
The first semester officers were Alice Olson, president; Charlotte Buchanan, vice-
president: Alleen Peterson, secretary; and Irene Carlson, treasurer.
For the second semester the officers were: Marjorie Nelson, president; Vir-
ginia Peterson, vice-president; Barbara Cooling, secretary; and Marion Saunders,
treasurer.

RAB VARSITY
The name of the Rab Varsity club was derived from the first letters of the w >rds
red and black, the colors of the Rockford Senior high school. The requirement for mem-
bership in the “R" club is a letter awarded in athletics, as a manager, or as a cheerleader.
Coach Arthur W. Lundahl is adviser of the club whose meetings arc held on alternate
Tuesdays after school. The dues for each semester are twenty-five cents.
The purpose of this organization of letterwinners is to promote a better spirit among
the athletes of the school and to give service at athletic contests; such as, ushering at
track and swimming meets and giving assistance at tournaments.
Coaches Charles Beyer, James Laude, Arthur Lundahl, and Clarence Multi, former
coach, founded the Rab Varsity club in 1927; there were then about thirty members.
At the present time, the average size of the organization is forty members.
Since this club is not a social chib but a service club the meetings are confined mostly
to business matters, and there are only a few programs at the meetings.
However, the "R” club does sponsor some social events. The committee for the
afternoon party which the club sponsored on March 3 included Eddie Bauer and Jack
Barber wdio obtained Ted Arthur's orchestra to play for the dancing. The evening party
which the club gives every year was held on April 8. Bill Watson was the general chair-
man for this party, and Jack Barber and Quintin Desaix were on the orchestra com-
mittee.
Ralph Palmer was elected head usher and he selected Jack Barber, Kenny Lowe, John
Licali, Bob Johnson, Bill Watson. Melvin Johnson. Benny Crosby, Eddie Bauer, and
Bill Moucoulis to assist him in his ushering and scorekeeping duties. In January, sixteen
lettermen were initiated into the "R" club Some of the members who have been outstand-
ing and active were Bill Watson. Buster Page, George Petta, Benny Crosby, and Jack
Barber. However, it is rather difficult to name certain members as being more prominent
than the rest because they all have to be outstanding to win their letters.
The officers of the Rab Varsity during the first semester were Jack Griffith, presi-
dent: Bill Watson, vice-president; Harry Page, secretary; and Jack Barber, treasurer.
As Bill Watson resigned from the office of vice-president in order to take up senior
class duties, Benny Crosby was elected in his place. The second semester officers were
Harry Page, president; Kenneth Lowe, vice-president; George Petta. secretary, and
Benny Crosby, treasurer.

BAND tife
Any boy who can play a reed or brass instrument is eligible to join the band which
meets daily with the purpose of instructing boys in instrumental music. This organization
also helps to build character and develop patience by careful practice and diligent study.
Besides the daily class meeting, the band holds individual sectional rehearsals at 7:30
in the morning, during home room period, and after school. The dues are one dollar a
year.
Organized in 1907 by Mr. John T. Haight, the band was the first one to be formed
in a high school in the United States. Mr. Haight, who has remained the director of
the band since its organization and has arranged all the selections which it plays, has
increased the membership to between eighty-five and ninety members at the present.
When it was first organized, the band practiced at the old Ellis school or at the
homes of the members. In order to obtain instruments, three hundred dollars was bor-
rowed. Later the band gave several concerts, and enough money was made to pay the
debt and to buy uniforms. When the band of the Barber-Colman Company dis-
persed, it presented the Band with instruments and music stands. No aid was ever
received from the Board of Education until 1923.
i
The band now has a large room where the instruments, music, uniforms, and music
stands are kept. All of the boys must be equally active in the band; otherwise they
cannot retain their membership. Each member is responsible for his own instrument,
music stand, and uniform.
The drum majors of the band during the past year have been Jack Sundberg and
Derwood Lundquist. In addition to their duties as drum majors, they perform as well
the duties of secretary and librarian for the band.
The band participates in many events and makes many appearances for various
groups, playing for football games, basketball games, and rallies; and it takes part
in parades, in the Commencement exercises, and in several church Christmas programs..
In the past two semesters the band participated in a “Know Your Schools" program,
which was broadcast from the lobby of the Faust Hotel, played for the R. O. T. C.
competitive drill, gave the annual band concert in the second semester, and marched
in the Memorial Day parade. When the city of Beloit had its centennial celebration,
" the Rockford high school band took part in the parade and afterwards gave a concert.

BAND
The band also combined with the other musical organizations of the school to
present the Christmas assembly.
Last November the band Dads and band sponsored the motion picture, "Fighting
Youth” which played for three days at the Midway Theater. From this project the band
realized a substantial sum of money.
Some representatives of the works which the band plays are “Egmont Overture"
by Beethoven, “Invitation To the Waltz” by Von Weber, "Lohengrin” by Wagner,
“Traviata" by Verdi, and "Polonaise Militaire" by Chopin. Besides the compositions
of these great masters, music from operas, operettas, and musical comedies is played.
Some of these selections are "Rigoletto” by Verdi, "Faust" by Gounod, "Carmen" by
Bizet, "The Mikado" by Sullivan, "Martha" by Von Flotow, and "Nocturne" from "A
Midsummer Night's Dream" by Mendelssohn. “The Hungarian Rhapsodies," No. 1 and
Number 2, are favorites of the band. The boys also enjoy playing some of the old
familiar tunes such as, "The Old Refrain" by Kreisler and "Sylvia” by Delibes. Often
all the music of a musical comedy is studied. One of the musical comedies that has been
used is "The Three Twins" by Hoschna.
The majority of the instruments used belong to the band, but a few are owned by
the members. The number and kinds of instruments used in the band include three flutes,
two oboes, two bassoons, twenty-four B-flat clarinets, two alto clarinets, two bass clari-
nets, four alio saxaphones, two tenor saxophones, two baritone saxophones, one bass
saxophone, fourteen cornets, six French horns, three baritones, eight trombones, six
basses, and four drums.
Every year near the end of the second semester, the members of the band and their
fathers take a trip to Like Ripley. This trip usually lasts two days, Saturday and
Sunday. Ordinarily the band gives two concerts, one on Saturday evening in the public
square at Cambridge and the other at the Community Church services on Sunday. The
boys spend the rest of the time amusing themselves by playing baseball and going boating.
In the opinion of Mr. Haight, this year has been more successful than any of the
preceding years in carrying out the true purpose of the band, which is study from an
educational standpoint of the music written by the great masters.

ORCHESTRA
The people who are in the rooms which arc situated on the fourth floor or beneath
the orchestra room, may hear strains of a symphony or some musical selection being
played by the orchestra during first hour every day in the week. The orchestra is
directed by Mr. June E. Bornor who organized a group of twelve people eighteen years
ago in 1918.
At that time the orchestra consisted of ten violins, one saxophone, and one clarinet.
The students had to practice after school in the room which is now 225. This organiza-
tion has increased in size to an almost perfectly balanced symphony orchestra of eighty-
seven members. The musicians have enjoyed a very favorable reputation, not only
locally but also in the state.
For entrance into the organization, one must have the ability to play any test num-
bers which are given to him. He then becomes a member of the beginners' orchestra
and can advance in position by challenging the holder of a higher chair. If he receives
the favorable decision of the other members of the orchestra, he is placed in the concert
orchestra.
The orchestra fosters an appreciation of instrumental music, and the members are
able to devote their time to reading and studying the finer types of musical literature in
their school curriculum.
Whenever the orchestra makes a public appearance, each member must attend.
Members must wear white sweaters with the high school orchestra emblem on them.
This emblem, introduced a year ago, is a six-inch black chenilc lyre with red felt lettering
“R. H. S. 0.” inscribed on it.
This year the orchestra has played for various civic organizations, school assemblies,
and churches.
The high school orchestra is a member of the National High School Association.
Each year it is customary to send some people to the All-State Orchestra concert. This
year the following students were selected for membership in the /Xll-State Orchestra
to play at Urbana, Illinois, November 21, 22, and 23: Henry Coretz, first violin; Ronald
Stenberg, viola; Robert Miller, string bass; Betty Annis, first bassoon; and Doris
Leatherbee, French horn. The music which was selected for the All-State Orchestra
to play was as follows: “Symphony in Minor” (first movement) by Franck; “Rosa-
munde Overture” by Schubert; "Carmen Suite,” number 2, by Bizet; and “American
Fantasy" by Herbert.

ORCHESTRA
The students won high honors in the Annual State high school orchestra association.
Betty Annis and Doris Leatherbee won first chairs in the bassoons and French horn
divisions respectively. Henry Coretz placed second among thirty-six players from all
over the state in the violin section. Robert Miller won second chair in the bass section
against sixteen other players, and Ronald Stenberg placed sixth among twenty-six viola
contestants.
On December 12 under Director Bornor the orchestra broadcasted from the lobby
of Hotel Faust. This was a feature of the “Know Your Schools" broadcasts. The
selections played were "Country Gardens" and “Valse Triste."
On December 20 the orchestra combined with the other musical organizations to
present the annual Christmas assembly. z\s an introduction the orchestra played “The
Young Prince and the Princess" from the "Scheherazade Suite." They also accompanied
the vocal organizations for their singing. In conclusion the whole chorus, band, and
orchestra played the "Hallelujah Chorus” from the Messiah by Handel.
The orchestra played for the high school assemblies, February 25, 26, and 27. One
of the selections played was “The American Fantasy" by Herbert, which includes airs
from revolutionary days as well as popular southern melodies. The English horn solo
was taken by Charlotte Buchanan. "The Chocolate Soldier” and “The Young Prince
and Princess” were also played.
On March 12 the musicians presented a concert at the Mendelssohn club. The
organization had its annual concert and play day concert during the latter part of the
second semester. The play day concert is an occasion when the two Junior highs and
Senior high school orchestras combine.
Social activities arc not forgotten by the orchestra, and every year a new type of
party is given. This year the orchestra had a "Hobo Party," April 24. Students who
have been in the orchestra for three years are awarded medals in recognition for their
service.
Some of the outstanding members of the orchestra arc Henry Coretz, Richard
Shipley, Jeannette Kipp, Mary Kelley, Bob Miller. Dorothy Sharp, Betty Annis. Doris
l.catherbee, Betty Carlson, Clarence McDermaid, Bob Greenberg, and Richard Stiles.
Officers for the first semester were Evans Jacobson, president; Stewart Fisher, vice-
president ; Shirley Edgar, secretary; and Quintin DeSaix, treasurer. Second semester
officers were as follows: Clarence McDermaid. president; Bayard LutzhofF, vice-presi-
dent; Charlotte Buchanan, secretary; and Dorothy Sharp, treasurer.

Dramatic Art
Students of Dramatic Art learn that
it is important to have scenery properly
placed. The back drops for a recent
play are being put up by Mary Schcrff,
Lorraine Bell, and Leonard Marinelli.
Stage lighting is another project
taken up in this course. Shirley Earn-
gey, Marcia Mae Moore, and Wilford
Bloom, members of one of the classes,
are examining lighting effects.
Some of the plays which are studied
are also presented. The Characters
of ".All On a Summer's Day,” a play
which was given by the Dramatic
Art I class, were enacted by Mary
Leslie Wright, June Erickson, and
Beverly Blum.
The study of stage make-up is an-
other important phase of this subject.
Geraldine Marquardt and Mary Jane
Keiley are applying make-up to Ber-
nice Olson and Alice Dahlstrom.
In addition to learning how to place
scenery, the pupils in dramatics classes
study scenery effects. Mary Scherff,
Wilford Bloom, and Leonard Mari-
nelli, members of the same class, en-
deavor to find out how they are ob-
tained.

Appreciation
All-American Honor Rating has been given to the Rockford
High School Annual nine of the last eleven years. Much of this
distinction is a result of the cooperation of the business firms of
Rockford who have advertised in the issues of this book. With-
out their support the staff would be unable to publish the volume
because of the expense involved. In appreciation of the generous
cooperation of those who have subscribed to the advertising sec-
tion of the book, the editor and business manager urge all
students to patronize the local business men and women who
have given their assistance in making this yearbook a success.
A great number of persons must work together in order
to produce a yearbook. As one glances through the pages of the
book, he does not realize the long hours which the members of
the staff have spent in organizing the material in logical order.
Besides those preparing editorial copy, there are many more who
must spend their time selling the book, soliciting advertising,
and in other ways assist in financing the book.
The editor and business manager wish to express sincere
appreciation to the following: members of the editorial staff;
members of the business staff: the sophomore, junior, and senior
classes; the clubs and activities of the school; the military depart-
ment: the physical education departments; the Bliss Printing
Company; the Rockford Illustrating Company; Waldsmith Com-
mercial Studio; Herzog Studio; Pearson Studio; S. K. Smith &
Company; and Miss Marion Newberry of the Art Department
and her students.
