bethesda CHEVY CHASE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL The 1955 Pine Tree PATRICIA LEHMAN KATHERINE KLOPFER Editor-in-chief Business Manager CONTENTS Guiding, suggesting, urging, and prodding, the staff keeps us going to reach the goal we’ve set without any loitering. They help us regulate our pace----------------10 Practicing, playing, scoring, and cheering, we follow the season through with sports, whether a member of the team, the cheering squad, or the crowd----------------...108 Realizing the value of reaching seventeen hundred and ninety potential customers, the merchants of B-Town pave the way for a financially successful yearbook ....140 4 Our Pace at Bethesda-Chevy Chase Kvery Septeml� er, ihe rush begins. It's discussing and studying and testing, interrupted by cold dashes across the breezeway or the quadrangle. We participate in a variety of clubs, activities, and sports with the common desire of making our school the best possible. Our inter- ests lead us into a hectic schedule of activity, and we get a taste of many phases of life. Occasionally our pace slows long enough for us to realize that in working together socially and academically in high school we are building strong foundations for the future. 5 Enter a Science Fair Produce a play . 8 10 Participants Achieve Together “I don’t see why everyone crams before a test. It doesn’t look like fun,” said the little girl to her high school sister. “Well, you sec, there’s an old maxim that goes, ‘Don’t do today what you can put off until tomorrow.’ ” But by the end of three years in high school, we realize the importance of doing “first things first.” Within the hustle and bustle that accompanies our in- creasing interests, we learn the meaning of worthwhile accomplishments. We lcam to appreciate the feeling of satisfaction which comes with the fulfillment of our ideals. The outstretched hands of friendship from our fam- ilies, friends, and teachers, in the home and at school, guide us in our rapid rate of growing, of learning, and of achieving. When we arc undecided or troubled, or our pace overwhelms us, or we need prodding to con- tinue our work, these people give us the valuable assist- ance needed. Through pcrscrvcrancc we gain mental growth and reach toward the status of adults. SETTING This year even the administration seemed to feel the increase in pace and secured an additional vice prin- cipal. This brought the total to three. Mr. Conlon and Mr. Zimmerman arc in charge of administration. Miss Young, in charge of guidance, with the aid of a guid- ance counselor for every grade, offers us more about colleges, more about work after high school, and more about analyzing ourselves. ... Go to Mr. Conlon if you are late to class ... See Mr. Z. if you want an emergency announcement read over the P. A. System . . . Sec a counselor if you want your schedule changed so that you won’t have Biolog)’ before lunch . . . Make an appointment with Mr. Pyles about anything else that confronts you. For us the problems seemed ever so difficult until we placed them in the hands of the administration. For them the problems seemed never ending. The Battle of the Heat waged all winter long. One building was too hot; another building, too cold. And the Battle of Seats in Assembly spilled into two fields of activity. There were so many battles that we were reduced to writing notes, for it was the only method of communi- cation from the past to the present—for the future. It was a busy year; it was 1955.

The days arc livened by discussions, panels, dramatizations, and read- ings. Poetry, novels, and short stories by outstanding English and American authors stimulate us. Spelling and fundamentals of grammar develop into essays, char- acter sketches, and term papers. We have the oppor- tunity of talking before a group in public speaking, of developing our acting in dramatics, and of improving our writing in journalism. Our top scribblers spend long hours working in the Tattler office, on the Pine Tree, or on Chips. IN ENGLISH Mary Strunk selects a copy of Teen-Age Tates for some enjoyable reading in English class. 14 Benjamin W. Diana H. Glaa Readme Adviser .

At school, we tackle the pro- nunciation and spelling of foreign words. We know that to understand a people we must know their tongue, and so we drill on vocabularies, read short stories, give reci- tations, and take exams. We learn the history and culture behind the people and the language. After the first year, we gradually become accustomed to idioms and ir- regular verbs. In struggling through the second year, we wish we were still taking the first year. The third year consists of reading novels and plays. In the end— veni, vidi, vici . . . we came, we saw, we conquered! To sound like a native is Dorothy Rich’s assignment in Miss Sullivan’s French class. Leonora Aiken, B. A., M.

A —Key Club. 18 MATHEMATICS Peculiar formulae produced by more peculiar processes prove logical results with practical principles which do not help us at all when planning our budget. Whether the subject is algebra, geometry, or trig, “to reason or to memorize” becomes our question when cramming for the tests. Encouraged by the thought that the answer must be cither right or wrong, we try to untangle graphs, numerical statistics, equations, or geometric designs. Finally, by disciplining our minds, we strengthen our powers of inductive and deductive reasoning. B. Vaughan Ash, B. S., M. A.—Student Court . . . William Bradford. TH. B., B.

This year our physical education classes ran an Omni- bus show with “something for everyone.” For the girls, bowling and shuffleboard were added to the schedule of soccer and hockey in the fall; volleyball and basket- ball in the winter; and baseball, badminton, and archery in lhe spring, with ping-pong and square dancing throughout the year. Besides football, basketball, and baseball for the boys, there was tumbling, track, and soccer. In gym classes we drill on rules, correct our posture, and leam first-aid. We stumble through the crowded showers, pay our ten cents to redeem our lost clothes, complain every day, and enjoy every minute of it. It isn’t every department that has a curriculum to fit every season! 20 Jewelry Shop is a busy time for Raymond Seaton, Carol Vaughan, Robert McGregor, and Neil Sunt. Mr. Slate, Mann, Mather, Johnson, and Lokcrson study the model made by Gordon Rutherford in last year's Architectural Drawing Class. It was fifth place winner in the National Ford Industrial Arts Competition. Chester Humphrey and Jack Frcdinc apply the press to a dictionary stand which is being repaired in Wood Shop. PRACTICAL ARTS From rocks, sheets of silver, and imagination come ID bracelets, tic clasps, and rings. From blocks of wood, sheets of copper, and rolls of wire come pipe racks, candle snufTcrs, and mailboxes. With chips flying, the buzz of saws filling the air, and ambitions soaring, we pound at our trays, lamps, or tables, always wondering how the project will look when finished. In art metal, jewelry arts, mechanical drawing, and woodworking classes, we learn to be skillful artisans with soldering irons, etching tools, saws, and patience and hard work. With little talent and lots of energy and enthusiasm, out- standing results arc obtained. Arnold Croddy, B. S., M. Ed. . . . Joseph Sagneri, B. S.—-Stage Crew. Albert W. Bender, B.

In home arts classes we leam good house- keeping, sewing, and the tricky art of cooking. In these classes we can sec the results of our work. Fashion shows, teas, and bake sales display our efforts. Edward Snyder checks his copy, while Barbara Mauzy, William Talcntino, and Bruce Kessler work for speed and accuracy. A. Cummings, B. S.—Activities Admis- . .'Lorjttine H. Hatfield, B.

In preparation for the business world, we learn to keep our “ryes on copy, feet on floor.” Bookkeeping and office practice teach us good secretarial methods and habits. Shorthand becomes useful in classroom note- taking. These arc practical classes with a progressive outlook. Miss Schindel helps Dolores Sanders complete her black velvet dress. 22 The Junior Choir gave its Christmas concert in an assembly. Displaying Dur Talent Skillfully Every day strains of melody float through the corri- dors of B-CC as young musicians practice. For their pleasure as well as for others’ enjoyment, busy Bethesdans practice long hours to obtain perfection, whether the media is singing, instrument playing, or drawing. We arc always sure to be proud of our band, orchestra, or choir when they appear on radio programs, in parades, concerts, and assemblies. Our industrious art students always produce out- standing works for contests, publications, and for class. Luke V. Dolezal, B. A., M. Ed.—Varsity Admissions . . . Esau Motovich, B.

Art classes give everyone an opportunity to develop his talent and follow his chief interests. 23 Mr. h. registrar, Mrs. Graff. secretary: and Mr. Smith. guidance secretary. arc respon- sible for our records and all the official corre- spondence of the school. Mr . Willingham, school nunc, docs a vision test. Health records are kept for all students. Mr. William Nichols Chief of Custodial Services Service Rendered While telephones buzz noisily, mimeograph and ditto machines clatter busily, and student helpers work in- dustriously, Mrs. Lcimbach, Mrs. Smith, and Mrs. Graff help us find the answers to our questions. They keep track of attendance, mail, transcripts, grades, and the numerous other data that accumulate and arc so neces- sary in a high school like B-CC. The nurse is also important to the life at a school. Mrs. Willingham supervises medical and dental check- ups, keeps medical records of each of us, and is always ready to find a remedy for our scratches and ailments. Mr. Nichols, with the aid of his staff, maintains the appearance of the buildings and grounds of which we arc so proud. 24 Comfort Attended Mrs. Bouvet knows the way to every Bethesda stu- dent’s heart by the tempting lunches she and her staff prepare. With the ringing of the bell at 12 o’clock, hungry hoards rush to the cafeteria in a constant stream until 1:30. A new system of lunch scheduling was initiated this year which relieves the crowded condition. Always ready with a smile and a friendly word, Mrs. McKinncll tends to the storehouse of information found in the library. She helps us search for the pamphlets and books needed in our search for knowledge. No matter how remote the information we want may be, we arc sure to find it in the 5700 books of our library. Since 1953 the library has occupied the space where the Bethesda Public Library was. When a new building was constructed for the Public Library, our library moved into the rooms which it had formerly occupied in the basement of the Science Building. Mrs. McKinncll, school librarian, shows one of the new books to one of the library assistants.

Seniors Take The Final Steps We’ve survived a year of bewilderment, a year of preparation, a year of decisions . . . We’ve reached the top of our climb. This was our big year — our last year . . . We held our last class election; we attended our last Blair game; we took our last high school exam . . . This was a year of confusion and constant rush; yet we knew that these last events would be the ones we would always remember. The days were filled. Planning for others we learned to manage our time, our skills, and our interests. Some of us attempted part-time jobs and some of us set the alarm for 6 a.m. to finish our homework. We faced an increasing amount of responsibility and an increasing number of committee meetings. Wc also faced under- classmen on Senior Days . . . Teas, parties, dances, and games cascaded about us and mingled with our studies making our year a pleasant mixture of work and play . . . Feverishly wc filled in college and job application blanks, always wondering where wc would be next year . . . Wc struggled to keep our Senior Banquet and to have an off-campus prom, and wc struggled to keep our grades up. The climb—homework, exams, study . . . the finale— Senior Prom, June Week, Graduation . . . wc have arrived . . . now, the future! 28 Wallace Acton We’ve Arrived Suzanne Allen Blue and Gold Prom 3; Art Club Secretary 3, 4; Pigskin Prom 4.

As juniors we felt at home knowing the traditions, the teachers, and the tricks .. . Our school spirit soared; we wished our grades would. Recognizing overlooked opportunities, wc divided our interests. Wc sought a class song and a class yell and yearned for the support of every one of the five hundred and seventy-five of us . . . Wc strived for the 60% A’s and B’s necessary for college recommendation . . . Wc struggled for a winning team in the Tri-Tilt and ambi- tiously planned the Junior-Senior Prom. Wc also strug- gled for candidacy for the National Honor Society and struggled to get up a down stairway . . . Men of the junior class obtained driver’s permits and licenses — only to discover the true meaning of parking problems . . . Sparc time became one of those things no one had, unless it was needed for the Hot Shoppe or to gripe about studies. How did Shylock land in American literature? And, really, there aren’t enough quiz programs to make memorizing the presidents worthwhile! Then plans for next year besieged us — a Blue and Gold Handbook for sophomores, an election to deter- mine next year’s student Government Executive Com- mittee, and a nightmare of exams . . . Next year became the year wc yearned for, dreamed of, and dreaded. Wc would be seniors! 66 Byron Acuff Charles Adamson Suzanne Aikin Kenneth Aldous Robert Aldridge John Allen William Allen Stephen Almy Gordon Arey Bevcrlec Arnds Elizabeth Arnold Francis Arnold Harry Arnold Suwana Atintong Joanne Avery Beate Baensch David Bailey John Baker Charlotte Balsam Michael Bander Richard Barker Dixie Baridon Richard Barlow Jerry Barrett Robert Bartlcy Robert Bass Sarah Bassett Mary Ann Behrens Robert Bell Jeanette Bclland Deane Beman Anita Bergholz Judith Berkenbilt Bcvcrlee Bernier Yona Biclefeldt Lynne Birthright Marcus Black Nancy Bloodgood Suzannr Bly Barbara Boone Barbara Bowers Carole Bowers David Bowie William Boyle Elizabeth Bradford Georgia Brandenburg Michael Brandt Robert Bridgforth Carolyn Briggs Helen Brinson Marilyn Brock Carole Broumas Beverly Brown William Bryan Michael Bryant Frank Bryars Marilyn Bullock Paul Burroughs Joseph Burrows Guy Bushnell Lauris Butler Charles Byrn Ann Calc David Callaway Bruce Campbell William Campion 67 Sonja Carne William Carter Margaret Cheney Lawrence Caron Lynne Cashinan John Cherry Carole Carpenter Richard Cashinan Caroline Chrisman George Carr William Chace Edward Clabaugh Kent Carrington Charles Chamberlin Noel Clark Suzanne Carter Lydia Chawncr Sue Claxon William Clementson Robert Cohen Herbert Cooper Clifford Cregger Marge Clendenin Sumner Collingwood Richard Couch Margaret Crcykc Robert Cleveland Marlene ColTison Richard Coulter Dorothy Crist Susanne Cleveland Frederick Cone Stephen Cramer Wayne Crosby Judith Closson Elizabeth Conklin Meredith Crawford Anne Crossette Joan Cochran Thomas Cook Ronald Creel Richard Cummins Elizabeth Curtis Larry Curtis William Curtiss Glen Dalton Nancy Date Hilda Davidson Donald Davis Joanne Davis Mary Davis Nancy Davis Susan Davis Barbara Dean Virginia Decker Josclte Dclort James Demasi Russell Dennis Glenn deShazo Andrea Desmond Daniel Dick Larry Diehl Joyce Dismukc Stefan Dobert Tyler Dodson Joan Docrr 68 John Doherty Dietrich Dollak John Donaldson Thomas Dooley Carter Doran Patricia Dorn DeAnne Dorny Carol Douglas Mary Doyle William Dudley Michel Dumas Patricia Dunford George Dunhain Suzanne Dunlap Joyce Dutton Lynn Dyer Robert Early Joyce Earp Richard Edgerton John Edmands Nanci Edwards William A.

Just Beginning Sophomores Start With Hesitation B-CC is big! That impressed us most the first day. How very lost wc could get—that impressed us the sec- ond day . . . The teachers seemed to know just how wc felt and what wc were going to do even before wc knew ourselves . . . And if you think the government goes through red tape, spend a day at B-CC. By the time we got through the proper channels, wc had invariably forgotten what we wanted in the first place. Wc became immune to weather, especially if we had classes in “C” building. Whenever wc were in a hurry, wc took outside routes . . . The space between Christ- mas and spring vacations seemed impossibly long. Keep- ing our minds on the phyla of plants or Julius Caesar was difficult no matter what variety in presentation the teacher attempted . . . The election campaign posters always made the cafeteria look so gay. Then all of a sudden wc found ourselves responsible for a school dance. Wc will always remember—the friendly “Good after- noon” over the P. A. which marked the close of sixth period ... the refrigeration plant in the temporary building . . . the jolt of first report cards . . . the seven, well-stretched minutes between periods . . . gym classes held outside in twenty degree weather . . . homework galore . . . teachers who seemed to think that their subject was the only subject wc had assignments in. All of this has gone into making B-CC home to us, the sophomores. 76 Richard Alexander Barry Allen Frank Allen Vivian Allnutt David Almy Joel Alperstein Barry Alpher Virginia Anderson Una Armentrout Lorna Armstrong Elsa Arnold Maurice Arth Marian Asay Robert Austin Carol Bachschmid Emily Bagley David Baker Peter Barrett Edwin Baruch Jack Bass Stuart Bass James Bates Richard Bauer Katherine Baum Mary Ann Beach Charles Becker Beverly Bedwell Robert Belland Barbara Bennett Martha Bennett Stephen Bennett Brenda Berglund Carol Ann Bills Rosalind Bingham Charles Bishop Barbara Bissett Patricia Black Audrey Blair Mary Bland Van Blick Ronald Blochcr William Blocher Gilbert Bolton Henry Bonebrakc Walter Bonficld Marjorie Boose Nelson Bortz Judith Bowen Mark Bowers Frank Boyer Robert Boyer William Boyer Donna Boylan Phyllis Boys jean Bradford udith Brandt Michael Bray Douglas Brenner Catherine Britton Carol Brooks Barbara Brown Lynda Brown Mary Brown Nancy Brown Norman Brown Patricia Browne 77 Gail Brownfield Miner Buell Lesley Bunim Perry Burbank Jacqueline Burdette Barry Burdick Toyce Burgess Wallace Burgoyne Richard Burke Edgar Burr Marianne Byrn Susan Cahoon Anne Caldcrwood Crichton Callaway Alec Cameron Daniel Campbell Denis Campbell Griffin Canada Diane Canby Mary Lou Capek Lynn Caplon Beverly Carlson Judith Carpenter Virginia Carruth James Carter Eleanor Ccllcr Karl Chapman Charles Chamberlin Mcris Chang Mary Chappars Elizabeth Cifala John Clark Karen Clark Howard Clarke Caroline Clauss Mary Clinard John Clow John Coatncy James Cochran Lynne Coffin Harry Cole Linda Cole Richard Cole Catherine Colton James Compton Sheldon Conklin Helen Conner Art!

All day B-CC is the nerve center of activity. Home- work, club meetings, games, and dances take up our spare time. We work long hours planning the many events in our school life. Paint speckled jeans and shirts arc cast aside for formal apparel for the dance that night. Frantic last minute crises arc forgotten as the curtain rises on a wonderful performance. The swish of dance dresses mingling with the music, the dying corsage over the mirror, dirty bucks over hand knit argylcs — all arc synonyms for Bethesda social life. We take on responsibility, learn cooperation, meet dead-lines, and make friends. “The work and fun and the friendships won” will remain always in our memories.

Will the secretary please read the minutes of the last meeting?” The vice- president of SGA conducts the Representative Assembly meetings which arc held each week. Each homeroom in the school sends a delegate to Representative Assembly. This person reports to his homeroom the decisions and discussions of the group. The purpose of the Athletic Committee is to promote school spirit and raise money for the Student Govern- ment Association. Members sell Beat Blair pins and cow- bells and arc responsible for taking tickets at games. “Where’s the Scotch Tape?” . . . Here, hold this please!” . . . “Cokes arc a dime!” . . . “Do we have to use pink paper?” . . “I don’t want anyone throwing sponges at me!” The SGA carnival and several tradi- tional dances arc planned and carried out by the Social Committee. Members arc always seen knee-deep in crepe paper or selling refreshments at home games. Planning and conducting welfare drives is the job of the Welfare Committee of the Student Government Association. The committee also helps take care of cafe- teria conditions and drinking fountain handles. “Where’s the green paint?” ... “I need an eraser!” . . . “Who’s got the scissors?” The Publicity Committee is in charge of publicizing school events. Committee members make posters, write columns for local news- papers, and send announcements to disc jockeys and large metropolitan newspapers. and Serve Athletic Committee—first Row: Glaser.

I think I’m going to faint!” These are just a few of the difficulties which choir members have to cope with. However, the joy of singing and the satisfaction of giv- ing a good performance make it all worthwhile. Dressed in blue and white vestments and singing great music, B-CC’s A Cappclla Choir is well-known in the Washing- ton area. Besides singing with the large choir, some members form madrigal groups.

Harmony Is The versatility of B-CC’s band is proved by its reper- toire, for it plays anything from “The Stars and Stripes Forever” to “Shake, Rattle, and Roll.” The band per- forms at pep rallies and marches in loeal parades. It also produces many half-time shows for football games. As well as contributing toward school spirit, the band com- mcndably represents B-CC in many local contests. “Did you practice all of that music?” asks an inter- Their Keynote ested student. The orchestra member nods as she rushes to rehearsal. The orchestra meets daily to practice for its many per- formances. It plays at National Honor Society induc- tions, dance assemblies, and other programs. To the seniors its most important appearance is at graduation, for the note-perfect Pomp and Circumstance marks the end of senior year.

These girls arc chosen in June for their twirling ability. An important part of school spirit at B-CC is support- ing the Barons on the gridiron, basketball court and baseball diamond. The ten cheerleaders arouse our cheers at games and pep assemblies. Twenty-four pairs of white boots beneath twirling blue and gold crepe paper can mean only one thing— B-CC’s Pom-Pon team.

Members of the journalism class produce the Tattler, B-CC’s bi-weekly newspaper. These students plan con- tent, make up and distribution. Trips to the publishers in Baltimore and to the Scholastic Press Association Con- vention in New York combine education and fun for the journalists.

This clever display of the schedule of school activities is a project of the Arts Club. All hall decorations and many of the posters seen around the school are also the work of the club. Members arc encouraged to share their interests and to develop their talents in all areas. Their creations, whether paintings in oil or water color, ceramic objects, or sculpturing, arc displayed in the spring at the Arts Fair. Some of them arc offered for sale at this time. This is one club whose projects arc frequently displayed for our pleasure. Having trouble with your algebra? Math Club mem- bers provide a tutoring service for students who need aid. They also solve problems for fun and enjoy the addition, subtraction, and multiplication of those digits which frequently give the rest of us headaches. 102 A club little-recognized but very valuable is Bethrsda’s Biology Club. These biologists arc responsible for the care of our trees and shrubbery. Among the club’s ac- tivities this year were building and balancing aquaria and trips to the nearby Isaak Walton Farm. The French Club aims to promote understanding of conversational French and French culture. Among the club’s activities arc listening to guest speakers and visit- ing the French Embassy. Several members from France help to create a genuine French atmosphere. El Club Espanol promotes understanding of Hispanic culture through its programs and activities. This year the club has presented several Spanish plays, educational programs on South America, and an exhibit for the front hall of the Administration Building.

Plan for the Future “How much training will I need to become a physical therapist?” . . . “What’s a scrub nurse?” Students plan- ning to enter the field of medicine have the opportunity to learn the answers to these and other questions through the Future Doctors and Nurses Club. This year the future doctors and nurses visited Presbyterian Hospital in Pennsylvania for a weekend. They also helped in the T. B. campaign. “Is teaching really fun?” . . . “Do you have to write well to be a teacher?” . . . “How do teachers’ colleges differ from universities?” America’s future teachers at Bcthcsda meet each week to discuss these and other problems. Often speakers and films take the place of discussion. Trips to local schools for classroom observa- tion and trips to Towson State Teachers’ College are also included in the program.

They also learn about the customs, culture, and climate of various countries. The annual trip to the U. N. is an event eagerly an- ticipated by the members of I. R. C. They take a train to New York and spend the day touring the U. N. buildings. “Hey, hold this test tube!” . . . “Turn off the gas! You want to asphyxiate us?” . . . “Connect this wire to the transformer.” . . . “Where’s my potassium iodide?” . . . “I understood the law of gravity before you dropped that weight on my foot!” Through experiments and lectures Science Club mem- bers learn more about their special field of interest. Words such as colloid, chromophors, ionization, and cen- tripetal, strange to us, become familiar to them.

SPQRTS Action Provided “I’ve decided to join G. A. A.,” one ambitious student told her friend. “Well, you’d better watch what you get into. My part-time job now is beating the tom-tom for modem dance.” “Variety is the spice of life,” and there is a sport for everyone at B-CC. From swinging on parallel bars, rope climbing, and bowling to shufflcboard, baseball, and tennis, we join in the games with plenty of enthusiasm. As well as work-outs in the gym, intramurals in all sports, and varsity teams, there is the thrill of participat- ing as a spectator. “We’ve got a team and nobody’s prouder,” we shout, whether winning or losing. We know that the “Barons will be victorious” always, in sportsmanship. In the sports, we develop our muscles and our lungs, and we develop friendships and an understanding of others. Our physical education classes and activities foster leadership abilities, skills, team work, and active participation in the sports. 108 fV- V Thi was the starting line-up on which Beth- nd.i based its hopes for the coining season. Coach Sadusky sends Melton in to kick another extra point. Kick-Off! “Bcthcsda won’t win a football game this season,” was the prediction appearing in local papers at the be- ginning of the season. “This is their rebuilding year,” was the explanation. Coach Sadusky was faced with a difficult assignment, for he had to field a team with only four members returning from last year. The final season record was 1-3-3 and the scrappy team showed on many occasions that defeating them was no easy task. The Barons held two of the strongest teams in the areas to tics. Gaithersburg, Bcthcsda’s first opponent, was reportedly fielding the strongest team in the history of their school. Barons won 13-0. The season had opened gloriously. St. Albans was a pre-season choice to go undefeated, but the Barons fought the Saints to a 13-13 tic. St. Albans scored twice in the first half and the Barons tallied twice with five minutes remaining. Tingle gain needed yardage despite the threat of onrushing North' western defenders. 110 Football Varsity—First Row: Vint, Schulze, Stock, Melton, Hesford, Tucker, Varner, Shook, Roman, Jordan, Tingle, Galanis, Wilson, Everhart.

Jim Guandola threw four touchdown passes; Bob Tucker set a new record with three touchdown receptions. Tom Farrington was responsible for twelve points. Dave Mel- ton added five consecutive conversions. Frederick scored on one long pass but never really threatened. North- western, rated as one of the strongest teams in the area, came to Bcthesda and received a jolt. Only pen- alties kept the Barons from winning the game. North- western scored with only seconds remaining for their only drive in the game.

Suitlaiul revenged their defeat of last year by scor- ing two long runs in the first half. In the second half the Barons came roaring back to hold Suitland to one first down. The Barons made eleven downs. Smokey Lamond scored Bethesda’s only touchdown on a 42 yard pass play. Jim Wilson and Justin Shook gave the Barons an additional two points. The Barons showed their offensive power against Bladensburg by scoring 27 points on long drives. Ed Higgins scored twice and threw for another touch- down. A bad pass from center, however, gave Blad- ensburg a 28-27 victory. Bethesda traveled to An- napolis where a determined Annapolis team and a muddy field held the Barons to a 7-7 tie. Montgomery Blair power toppled the Barons in Blair Stadium before a crowd of 5,000. Barons held the lightning fast Blazers to 19 points, but after the first quarter never managed to penetrate Blair's 54 yard line.

Such a record is rare since members of the team are playing together for the first time and in most cases have not played football before coming to Bethesda. The JV beat the Blair Junior Varsity in their final contest, 9-6. The Barons’ scoring came on a reverse by Sidney Roman. A safety was scored later to complete the 6-0 season. B-CC 13 13 G. W.

Few Fouls With the coining of Christmas, Bethesda played the traditional Alumni game. The Alumni game originated in December, 1930, when the first graduating class of Bethesda challenged the seniors to begin a series. This year the Barons overwhelmed the old varsity men by a 20 point margin. The final score was 70-50. In the seventh victory of the season, George Welker took high scoring honors with 21 points against Gaithers- burg.

In addition to the games of last year, many new sports have been added to this year’s gym class schedule. After school the girls participate in intramural games organized by the Girls Athletic Asso- ciation. This program, taking the place of girls varsity sports, promotes an interest in many fields of athletics. Learning modem dance, trying bowling, playing bad- minton—almost every type of activity is offered. Peggy Murphy receive the ball and trie for a basket.

The snake dance on the night before the Blair game terminated in an open house in the gym. Girls Supply Pep Although girls’ varsity teams were eliminated at B-CC four years ago, the girls play an important part in the field of sports. They lend their enthusiasm to the boys’ teams with vigorous shows of pep. Cheerleaders, pom- pon girls, majorettes, flag-twirlcrs, and spectators—the girls blend their voices in noisy exhortations to win that game. The cheerleaders were their prettiest and peppiest at the Blair game. Stunned sophomores look over the course offerings and schedules as their high school life begins. The hallway attracts many seniors, as they stop, pay no attention to on-coming students, and enjoy the first signs of their last year. Review the Year ’55 From the first day of school in September to the last in June, we arc constantly moving to keep in step with the school’s varied program. The main pace-setter is the school day from 9 to 3:30 with its books, lectures, and tests. But, we obtain additional knowledge through the sports, clubs, and social activities that the school has to offer. For some of us this is our last year of school; for others of us it is a step towards further schooling. No matter what we will do or become, the pace we set during our high school days will influence our future character. Mr. Zimmerman and Mr. Myers attempt to untangle the mystery of the missing registration blank as George Welker, Kenneth Hrnder- son, Gregory Bruce, Robert Weidman, and Barbara Watkins look on. 124 Shrubbery is being planted. Beautiful landscaping is on its way. The school store sells everything from boys’ ties to picture post- cards. Helping Ted Richards with his selection arc Barbara Hays, Laura Pclland, and Mu- rid Moss. Throughout the year, we arc served good food in an attrac- tive way. The rush began. The highways were the halls; the maps were the Blue and Gold Handbooks; and the black-boards in front of the Administration Building were the guides. Sophomores entered the unknown terri- tory in a daze—not knowing where they were going or what they would do when they got there. Juniors knew where to go and what route to take. Groups of seniors were found blocking the on-coming traffic, talking about summer vacations and fall schedules. We noticed several changes. The Administration Building was gaining shrubbery to give it a solid look. Community clubs and The Biology Club had made the planting possible. The lunch period was divided into six parts with ten-minute intervals between each familiar rush scene. 125 Sophomore English classes were frantically reading and learning Shakespeare’s Julius Catsar. We Learned Donna Zurborg, Evelyn Gray, Theresa Burns, and Betty Wiseman demonstrate the techniques of operating the school bank while Patricia Edmands is a customer. a Lot Enjoyably Waiting for buses, B-CC students had just toured Walter Reed Hospital. 126 These B-CC students, appearing on a local TV show, wait patiently for the On The Air” signal. We discovered that we would receive six report cards during the year. “Oh, no! Six week-ends when we can’t go out,” was heard everywhere. So we began another year—the last for seniors. Reso- lutions were made but not firmly established. We were back in the swing of things. This was our last year. We were invited to tour Walter Reed and were guests at two of George Washington University’s football games. Our band, majorettes, and pom pon girls per- formed at the GW-William and Mary football game. Six of our seniors—Peggy Bratlcy, Linda Lancaster, Rod Heller, Tom Davis, Lois IfTcrt, and Richard Mac- Ewen- appeared on the local TV quiz program Inquire ing Editor. Tri-Hi-Y members put TB Christmas seals and letters into envelopes as one of their service projects. Tom Davis, Lois Jean IfTert. and Richard MacEyven discuss with Mr. Alfred Friendly, assistant editor of the Washington Post-Times Herald, their part in the pro- gram. And With Effort! 127 This play by Tom Tingle brought Baron fans to their feet. Cries of Beat Blair” fill the air as the Bcthcsdans gather for the Snake Dance. Football Season and the Blair Rivalry Through the gate to the field, our football varsity rushes to meet Blair. Wc were impressed to learn that we numbered 1800 and that the number of faculty members had now in- creased to 81. Bcthcsda’s pride, “C Building, was still standing and it was again in use for classes of typing and shorthand. The lockers in the Arts Building had been tom down. While new ones were being installed, we were assigned THREE TO A LOCKER. Wc yelled, “Impossible!” Wc discovered that wc could do the im- possible! Our football team fought valiantly all season, and wc honored them at the Pigskin Prom. Blair players were invited and added to the gala occasion by their pres- ence. Beat Blair” was the familiar chant as the cheer- leaders, band, and pom pon team led the way through B-town in the snake dance and back to B-CC for the bonfire and the burning of the Blair dummy. Girls were allowed to wear slacks as wc all built up our spirit at the record dance. Next day wc anxiously traveled to Blair territory where wc saw a heart-breaking game. “But wait until next year!” 128 Then Christmas Time out for vacation. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas B-CC began buzzing with activity. The School Spirit Committee was established with the hope of arous- ing school spirit in the newcomers to B-CC. Christmas was in the air when the choir sang at the Washington Cathedral and when the halls were trans- formed into a winter wonderland. Members of the Art Club created a stained glass effect on the front windows of the Administration Building. At night, all school lights except those behind the front windows were turned off. The result was beautiful. A trimmed Christmas tree was placed in the front hall, a small silver tree was in the library, and paintings were placed on all window- panes. Arts Club members paint a tree in the hallway win- dows to help give us the Christmas spirit. This window display shows Christmas is on its way. Classroom windows were painted and when given proper lighting, appeared like stained glass windows. 129 With Mistletoe Seniors weren’t so lost in dreams of mistletoe, how- ever, that they didn’t urge that senior privileges be estab- lished. We never got beyond the talking stage! Mean- while, more than a hundred public speaking students were preparing speeches for the Voice of Democracy contest. Finalists appeared in an assembly. Suzy Hunting- ton won and went on to win in Montgomery County. The Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y Council planned the annual Mistletoe Ball. The hard work and good planning showed when we arrived for dancing. The theme “Night Before Christmas” had been carried out beautifully. It was at this ball that Mr. Bunker, who plans to retire in Florida, was given a set of golf clubs in appreciation for the ten years he has served Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y in Mont- gomery County. The same week we welcomed returning Alumni in the hallways and eagerly anticipated the Alumni-Varsity Basketball game. The Alumni team was defeated, but our friendship was resumed at the dance immediately following the game. A look behind the scenes—students dec- orating for the Mistletoe Ball. Members of the receiving line are the first to wel- come students to the Mistletoe Ball. The night passed quickly as we danced the hours away. But no Snow Th« gym was crowded but no one teemed to mind. Mary Ann Frese presents a set of golf clubs to Mr. Bunker. Fred Warren and George Fite look on. Parents of honor society mcmbcrs-clcct wait patiently for their child's name to be called. Mr� . Black and Mitt Aiken accept gift from the faculty at a tea in honor of their twenty-fifth year at B-CC. Look Ahead Our parents gave a tea honoring Miss Aiken and Mrs. Black who had completed twenty-five years on the fac- ulty of B-CC. We were impressed and tried to show our appreciation too. The local P. T. A. purchased an audiometer so that hearing tests could be administered to every one of us every year. We reported for the hearing tests during our English classes. Then our nurse, Mrs. Willingham, saw a great many of us when we reported to her office with an “elevated temperature.” It was the first symptom of a virus infection that lasted from three to five days. If we hadn’t come down with the unknown “flu” that kept as many as three hundred students home on a single day, we enjoyed the three inches of snow that called off school. Buses needed chains, snowballing was forbidden, cars got stuck. School was resumed. Because of so much absence, semester report cards were delayed a week! Students check the schedule for college conferences on the bulletin board in the front hall. 132 Mr� . Willingham gives us hearing te� ts. We mark whether or not we hear the sounds. Coffin. Allen. I.ong. Kdwardi. Norlcy, Smith, and Doran appear in The Trytting Place in a school assembly. And Plan Carefully Planning for the future, we focused our eyes on myriads of application blanks, college boards, and con- ferences. We crowded the browsing rooms to investigate catalogues and materials. Mrs. Smith was always there, patiently helping fill out applications. January college boards at B-CC attracted our attention; scholarships and college conference dates were found posted on the bul- letin boards. We took our lunches to Miss Young’s office where college representatives answered our questions. We heard the career representatives on Career Night. We assimilate food and knowledge at the same time at lunch-time college conferences. And There Were Assemblies The wide variety of school assemblies attracted every- one from the charleston fiend to the fashion fan. There were talent shows, choir programs, a band concert, out- side speakers, girls modeling dresses they had made themselves, monologues, and pantomimes. There were 22 assemblies the first semester with 493 participants. Because of the increased enrollment, both gyms were needed for assembly programs. We seniors voted to use the girls’ gym. In student-participation assemblies, per- formers found it necessary to shuttle back and forth from stage to stage, hoping to arrive on time for their place in the program. Often, acts were delayed and the mas- ter of ceremonies had to ad-lib until the show was ready to continue. Gloria Gearhart and Bob Hille demonstrate their Betty Lou Southard attract our attention at the Eajtcr Style Show a she version of the charleston. model a dress she made. Mr. Max Farrington, assistant to the president of George Washington University, speaks to us about basketball. In one of our lighter assemblies Johnny Miller, Marcus Black, and Charles Fcderline serenade us. The Thespian Society gave a performance of Twelfth Sight at their semi-annual induc- tion of new members. Thespians presented Trysting Place in an assembly and Belles On Their Toes as their spring production. New members, each representing one hundred hours of work, were inducted in the two Thespian Society initiation ceremonies. The Tri-Tilt builds up rivalry between the three grades. Other Things, Too Can-Can dancers make their traditional appearance in the Club Baron floor show. 135 Arriving at the dance, the boys reached for their wallets and had the Honor Society members check their coats. A Semester Ends The Student Government announced the Blue and Gold Prom, the annual dance which traditionally cele- brates the end of the first semester. Lots of us were de- lighted with the delay in issuing report cards, for with no report card facing our parents, we could borrow the family car for the dance. While the sophomores organized and busily cam- paigned for class office, the Thespians held tryouts for Belles on Their Toes. With so much going on, reading The Tattler became a must, and we were engulfed by the pace set by the demands of a second semester. The World Goes On Yes, there were events taking place outside of B-CC. Many of us were concerned about threats to the free world. There were the territorial acquisitions in Indo- China, the capture of thirteen American flyers by the Red Chinese contrary to the Korean peace terms, and the threat of Formosa’s invasion. This led the United States to issue a warning that it would defend an inva- sion of Nationalist Chinese islands. Questions arose when Mr. Malenkov resigned as head of the Russian government. The twenty-first change in the French government since World War II made many people wonder about the future of NATO and the rearming of Western Germany. News was also made in the United States. The Su- preme Court’s decision against segregation in public schools was the issue of the day. Children throughout the nation were innoculatcd with a polio vaccine with the hope that prevention of the disease had been found. The first atomic-powered submarine, the Nautilus, was launched. Colored television came into its own with a variety of programs to interest its viewers. The most dangerous “woman” in years, Hurricane Hazel, hit the eastern coast of North America, destroyed millions of dollars worth of property, and knocked ofT the steeple of the Old North Church in Boston. We remember being without heat, lights, and telephone! Despite the decrease in federal spending, the economy of our nation was strong and our standard of living was at its highest level. Politically, the Democratic party assumed a slight majority in Congress. Yes, there was life outside of B-CC, but . . . Tryouts for Belles On Their Toes had to be held in a It's a big day when The Tattler is distributed. classroom, but that didn't abate our enthusiasm. Paul Swift attends classes in the morning and works As part of the D. O. program, James Liverett at setting tile in the afternoon. works at a pet shop. These girls sang and acted out “Oh You Beautiful Doll in the Extravaganza. Senior days came and the seniors were scared. Sopho- mores and juniors thought they knew it all and enjoyed senior teachers. Seniors gave tests; sophomores and juniors were scared! Senior days were over. Spring came and went too fast. The annual D. O. Banquet brought together students, their teachers, and their employers. We became better acquainted with the B-town merchants who so willingly helped the profes- sional students. We saw the D.O. students at their work. S.G.A. sponsored the carnival which was a money- raising campaign for all clubs. At the Arts Fair, the Art Club displayed their months of hard work. For us seniors, these were the last precious months. The senior prom at the Willard, the senior committees, and planning Baccalaureate and graduation so that the maximum number of people could attend, occupied all our time. Then we were there. When we received our yearbooks and asked our friends to sign, we realized that we might never see some of them again. This was it. We were alumni. Ella Lublin shows us her modern dancing talent in the Extravaganza and Talent Show. 138 To End the Parents enjoyed having their offspring sketched at the Arts Fair. The youngsters who had to sit still for fifteen minutes weren’t quite so delighted! The final deadline for the Pine Tree was met! Stu- dents were reminded that a school year for the annual ran from April to April. We would have missed the pho- tographer’s visits if so much hadn’t been happening. S.G.A. was screening talent for its annual Extravaganza. Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y members were planning Club Baron, only dance with a floor show and only dance where parents attended in as great numbers as we did. We split our loyalty for the Tri-Tilt. This was the one time during the year when we showed rivalry between grades. The odds were against the sophomores; their victorious record placed the juniors as the favorites; but the desire to show their superiority was the aim of the seniors. After all the practice and all the class spirit, the Seniors won. We know we’re near the end when teachers let us sign year- books in class. x s: A student tries for the prize in one of the many games at the S. G. A. Carnival. 139 Merchants Eagerly Patronized “I have nothing to wear to the dance tonight,” moaned the desperate student. “Could I borrow a dress of yours?” “ ‘Neither a borrower nor a lender be’,” her friend quoted from Shakespeare. “Let’s go shopping in Beth- csda this afternoon for a dress.” Meanwhile two other students were going to choose graduation presents. “My dad says, ‘Everything from good silver to the best luggage is available in our vil- lage’,” one boasted. “The Trade Show in the boys’ gym was what floored me. After seeing all of those displays, no one had to put up any sign urging me to Shop Bethesda.” The merchants of B-Town arc always ready to serve us with a plentiful supply of products and services. To show their appreciation of our patronage, the merchants support the ambitious projects of the B-CC students. Being so close to the capital of the nation, we feel fortunate to have built the close relationship between the community and the school that exists in Bethesda. Because the merchants know that “from little acorns, mighty oaks grow,” they advertise in our year- book. While helping make the Pine Tree possible by their ads, the merchants arc able to reach many pros- pective customers who will be the future citizens, leaders, and homemakers of the community. 140 This is your 1955 Pine Tree. We hope it will bring you pleasant memories of your work and fun at B-CC. We wish to thank the many people who have helped us tell the story of all 1790 of us. We especially wish to thank: Mr. Sidney Schultz of H. C. Roebuck and Son for supplying the answers to all our printing problems, Mr. Frank MacIntyre of Zamsky Studios for his won- derful cooperation in taking our pictures, Mrs. Richard Crawford of Alston Studios for working with the pictures of sophomores and juniors. The home room Twigs for collecting picture fees and distibuting yearbooks, David Schoen for the many pictures he took of student activities. Miss Margaret Cooke for handling the senior orders for pictures, and Mrs. Elizabeth Layton for her patient guidance, her endless hours of work, and her innumerable sug- gestions.
