Teachers in 1906 Yearbook
From my Grandmother Charlotte Rowley Van Sickle’s Rockford High School Annual 1906. I started reading the faculty pages of my grandmothers high school yearbook. I noticed none of the women were married.
And then I went to Find- a -Grave Memorial Search.
Miss Flora Eddy was the head of the local Woman’s Suffrage movement I don’t know what subject she taught, though.
There are too many Louis Cooper listings even with Harvard and All American Track Team as a clue
1906 Basketball Teams
Last week’s Throwback Thursday was the Mandolin Club. This week it’s basketball season. How about Rockford High School, Illinois basketball teams in 1906?
Another page or two from my grandmother’s yearbook. No relatives on either team but thought the photos were interesting to see, even if you don’t know the people.
Mr. Paul Lucas was coach of both teams. It states “he has never once faltered in his plan.”
