Our Helen is just one you can’t resist. Her sunny smile and sweet disposition have made her a favorite in the school. No matter where, when or with whom, she is always pleasant. Helen has held a place in Athletics that will be very hard to fill when she is gone. Allow us to introduce a talented member! “Ruffs” is both a poet and an artist. We always thought artists were temperamental, but Ruth ably demonstrates that you can be talented and cheerful too. “Teeny’s” nickname does not describe her in either statue or ability. She has “a heart as big as a stone” and has proved to be one of the best among our “hardworking” members. “Bobby” is a person who possesses a great deal of humor. You just can’t keep a straight face while Bobby is around. He is the perfect picture of what a well-dressed man should wear — including spats, too, ladies and gentlemen—and an awfully good-looking “Chevy.” Page Fourteen

He hails from Gaithersburg and proved to be one of the most outstanding athletes of the school. He ventured forth with such vigor and school spirit into athletic activities that R. H. S. just couldn’t help but sit up and take notice. There is so much to say about “Diane” that we just don’t know where to begin. WTit, humor, and good company are all embodied in her. “Diane” will not only attract you with her eyes, but will win your heart by her sunny disposition. R. H. S. will surely miss the “Diane” of 1931— they just can’t help it. Here’s our little shy Dorothy, but we feel this will not be for long. “Still water runs deep,” and we are sure that Dorothy will come into her own some day with flying colors. Rebecca can be found studying most of the time. She is an example which many of the seniors endeavored to follow (but almost got into trouble when they tried tucking away chocolates—her only weakness). She is indeed everybody’s friend.

No one could ever miss knowing “Nookie” once she was introduced. Whenever there was mischief, she was in it. Her bright and cheerful disposition has helped many of us to remember that every cloud has a silver lining. We will never forget her everlasting smile. “Bee” says she is going to be a stenographer, but we fear that it will not be for long for her sunny disposition will have soon touched the heart of some gallant knight (if it has not already)— that’s a big secret. Here is another of our “Sunny Sues.” Helen, with her catchy smile and sparkling eyes Is always ready Tor a good time. May fate so rule it that good times may never cease for Helen. Good looks, good sense. good humor, laughing eyes and golden hair, make the Mary we love and admire. “Gitz” Is full of life and ambition. She will capably fill the duties of any obligation.
