As indi- viduals we met new people, discovered new subiects and won new honors. With the additiornof sixteen new classrooms, many of us enioyed enlarged facilities. After spending four months' attending classes in the auxiliary gym, band room, auto shops and hallways, we were overjoyed as the door to the new wing finally opened. As the year ended, all of us, seniors and underclass- men, looked back on the experiences the doors of R.M. opened to us this year and looked ahead to what other doors would bringkin years to come. av, Table of Contents During the year we walked through many doorways each leading to a new as pect of Infe at Rnchard Montgomery Classes Actsvutues Underclassmen Student Lute Advertnsernents 4 Seniors 19 Sports 53 ' ' . , , , 129 ,df K -i 4 X W4 'Y ' 1 lbiil 3 v ik . sg. - CATHERINE W COCKBURN BA Western Maryland College MA Columbia Umversufy Coun selor LEVIN S COMLY Unlverslfy of Maryland Vlce Prm clpa Mr Glbson begins another busy day ROBERT A GIBSON BS Sprmgfueld College MA Columbla Umverszty Prmcupal KATHERINE B KELLER BS Wilson Teachers College Lu HN. 6 MARK E NEJAKO B S East Stroudsburg State Teach ers College MEd Unlverslty of Maryland Counselor ROBERT H SMITH MEd Unlverslfy of Maryland Vncs-Prmcupal B,A,, Wlaghingfon Cgllegei MUAI, brarianp Library Siaff Club l B-5.1 Unllfefslw of M3fYl5ndi l I ' ' l .'

Writing compositions, making oral reports, composing business letters, and reading literature of all types occupied most of our time. Mr. Schneider smiles as P.

De- bates, demonstration talks, and persuasive speeches made speech class exciting. On the same wing as the speech and English classrooms, the new library is one of Richard Montgomery's greatest assets. The size of the room permits many students to do research, study, read current periodicals, and browse, Several new titles have been added to the catalogue of books to make our library an ever-increasing source of information and pleasure to all of us.

Students donning earmuffs and composing their own study tapes enlivened already lively foreign language classes. Using the new tape recorder and microphone sys- tem, Mrs. Pyne and Mr. Wight led us through newly prepared and issued material. From room two twelve floated parts of Cicero's ora- tion against Catiline, spoken by our first Latin III class, sometimes augmented by our Latin II classes and Cae- sar's Gallic Wars. Many of us will not forget .the faculty's enthusiasm which made these languages a part of us.

From ninth-grade Civics to twelfth-grade Problems of Democracy, with the intriguing U. S. and World history, world and economic geography in between, we explored old and new ideas. These classes taught by our dedicated social studies faculty provided the background for our more factual understanding of both internal and international affairs. To supplement'the basic course, we saw many interesting and lively films. We spent the year learning about our country and about many foreign countries.

From seniors puzzling over lines and spheres to freshmen grasping the fundamentals of business math, we understand and accept the challenge given by our math department. Under the able direction of Mrs. Carpenter, Mr. Hur- ley and Mr. Sacco, the theorems of Plane Geometry be- come familiar helpful friends, iust as the world of in- terest and insurance become familiar to us in business math courses taught by Mr. Hurley and Mrs. Carpenter.

New rooms for almost all of us waited at the end of Christmas vacation. Our Biology Department finally had two labs in which Miss Smith, Mr. Ray, and Mr. Tomicheck explained the na- ture of living things to us. Down the hall Nlr. Tomi- check and Mr. Vargo helped us to discover and dis- cuss the many complexities of our scientific world. In the new wing, a shining new Physics lab awaited Mr. Maley's seniors and a new Chemistry lab waited for Mr. Fauly and returning iuniors. The second half of the year found some of us deep- ly engrossed in frogs, ore, steam, and equations, so engrossed that final examinations came and went be- fore we realized that school had ended.

Many of us found ourselves in more spacious classrooms and others eagerly prac- ticed on new typewriters. Down the hall, the sounds of new copying and add- ing machines emitted trom our school bank and office practice rooms-with Miss Brown, Mr. Spak, and Mr. Adams directing. We students taking Banking and Of- fice Practice sold pencils, ink and paper in our station- ery store under the supervision of Mr. Finn. In addi- tion to enlarging its stock to include binders and fold- ers, our store had new, earlier hours and an improved cash register. M Students purchase activity cards as school gets under way Department Mr. Finn explained the complexities of Business Lavv to our seniors, while underclassmen probed the basis of the business world in consumer education classes. Preparing for actual office work, shorthand ll stu- dents worked for speed and accuracy, while shorthand I students puzzled over and finally mastered the cryp- tic messages in Gregg's manual. With the help of new machines and classrooms, our commercial faculty and students provided their usual excellent service again this year.

Our girls found that Miss Baker and Miss Mor- rison made learning to hit that ball or shoot that bas- ket easier. Under their able direction, tumbling, swing- ing the hockey stick, and hitting the archery target be- came servants instead of our masters. . ln our boys' classes, Mr. Fahrner, Mr. Lester, and Mr. Nliles helped Us keep fit, and led us in touch football, track, basketball, and baseball. While most of us will never be champion athletes, we can adequately partic- ipate or enthusiastically enjoy any of our American sports.

Through the doors of Richard Montgomery, we un- derclassmen, 850 in number, passed in September. We freshmen tackled new courses, adopted new cus- toms, and solved new problems. Pursuing courses of our election we strove to maintain honor roll grades. We presented the Harvest Hop to boost the figures in our bank account. We sophomores returned to Richard Montgomery's new building to spend a productive year. English, Alge- bra, and Typing occupied most of our time, while we worked toward Honor Society achievement next year. We gave the Sophomore Switch and sold black and gold pens to accumulate funds for the Prom. We iuniors wrestled with the imminent cloud of col- lege, a full-time iob, or domestic life. Some of us reached the goal of National Honor Society for our out- standing grades. Culminating our year with the May junior-senior Prom, we executed our well-planned proi- ect. Emerging a year older, slightly wiser, and more per- ceptive, we closed the door of Richard Montgomery in June. D. Lower, B. White, F.

ROCKET ley, D. Lower, P. Stevens, D. Roush. Deadlines December 10, January 24 and March 8 written in easily read script, danced gracefully across our bulletin board. Of course, we noticed the dates but when December ll arrived and untldy mountains of copy for the Senior Section still remained on our desk, Miss Bears began to wonder. The middle of Jan uary found us again surrounded with Senior copy The publishing company had returned the sheets for cor rection. Dauntlessly we righted our mistake Discovering a day' in advance that the Ad Section copy must be submitted for publication Mr Schneider assisted the circulation staff's copywork Unbellevably enough we managed to meet our second deadline with Encountering the usual pitfalls of too little time not enough copy, and a lack of necessary pictures we pro- ceeded to produce the Richard Montgomery Rocket of A. Comly, P. Murphy, R. Hengren, J. Drury, P. K. Collins distributes the Tide at 3:30. Tide Writing stories, soliciting ads, and rushing frantically to Franklin Press captured much of our time this year. More ads, and bigger ones than ever before, covered over one-third of our expenses. With the activity fund, a new proiect, the sale of Rocket iackets furnished the balance. In this year of expansion at R.M., we made many other innovations. We added Fashion Chatter and movie reviews to our feature page. With a poet's cor- ner, we hoped to stimulate student contributions to the Tide. A comic strip featured Joan Kerr's beatniks. Be- sides Senior Snap alternating with Who's Who in Pink and Blue to describe seniors, we wrote articles on outstanding underclassmen. ln these ways Tide grew, to continue to give a comprehensive picture of life in a growing school.

Limited in size, but not in vital- ity, we often met before school to practice, we tried many new routines this year. All our work, even those morning rehearsals, seemed especially worthwhile when we heard the applause at the end of our numbers. ,-155'?',.', R. Marvin enioys the calm before the storm ROW 1: G.

Future Teachers of America To fulfill our main purpose, learing about the aspects of teaching profession, we planned our meetings care- fully. We heard guest speakers and watched movies. Besides increasing our knowledge, we gained experi- ence by substitute teaching in the local elementary schools. With Mrs. King's help, we reorganized the club, setting up committees to perform efficiently the specialized club activities. When the new wing opened, we took charge of making attractive and informative displays for a bulletin board in the new section. At the FTA convention which we attended, we discussed our achievements with other FTA members. We also attend- ed a tea given in honor of FTA clubs by the Women's Club of Bethesda. Our club activities increased our ap- preciation of the teaching profession. F.T.A. OFFICERS: D. Lower, G. Johnson, K. Beall, M. L.

Pep Club Waving our black and gold pom-poms from the stands, we cheered the Richard Montgomery teams to victory. During homecoming weekend in November we planned the bonfire, the car cavalcade, and the dance. With the crown safely on the queen's golden tresses, we sipped the nectar of our successful week- end. We checked coats before the basketball games and encouraged the hard-working boys during the games. Our efforts found reward in victorious teams. PEP CLUB ROW l: P. Thomas, B. Lloyd, K. Beane, B.

With the ring of the bell we re- mained motionless except to remind somnambulists to walk around us, screamers to lower their voices, or gum-chewers to head for a wastebasket. We performed our duties well so we took a fine June day to scream, chew, and enjoy ourselves at a picnic. PA. Club Each assembly found some of us scurrying around behind the curtains and setting up microphones for the speakers.

Varsity Screaming from the Richard Montgomery football stands, leading lively pep rallies, or traveling forty-odd miles to a basketball game, we yelled the Rockets on to their victories. We want a touchdown! We want a touchdown! echoed the length of the football field many October Saturdays. The Mighty Rockets heeded our call, producing a flawless season and winning the Bi-County Championship. Every other Friday night we spent readiusting the gymnasium rafters. Mr. Gibson appeared at one of these pep assemblies wearing a crepe paper hat streaming our favorite black and gold. Ending up the victorious football season with a ban- quet at the civic centre, we helped the team celebrate. By the middle of December we changed our tune to Make that basket! Make that basket! Practicing three evenings a week we perfected our lumps, formations, and routines for the week-end performances. Often the fighting team made that basket and we proudly displayed scores above those of our opponents on our Friday and Saturday evening contests.

Best in Bi-County This year, for the first time since i954, the Rockets had a winning season. We won all ten of our games and extended a two-season winning streak to 12 in a row. But most important, we emerged as champions of the Bi-County league. At the beginning of the season we were the team that might win more than it lost, but by the end of the season we were the team ranked fifth in the area and the only team that had a perfect record. We scored five shutouts and allowed our oppo- nents only 56 points while we scored 266 in the ten games. Each of these three are school records. Many individual records also 'fell. Mike Curtis and John Kelly set the most notable ones. Kelly averaged over 45 yards per punt and kicked one 70 yards long. Curtis set an individual scoring record with 93 points, best in The Rockets' all-Metropolitan fullback, M. Curtis, moves the ball for long yardage. -1 F, f Y X L4 15 v'.,'I .. .. H ,qgwvvg .. .

As records both team and individual fell before the mighty Rockets, Rockvillians saw the best football they have ever seen from R.M. Although he would be the first to deny it, our new coach, Mr. Roy Lester, played a maior part in our win- ning the championship. With his good logic, extensive football knowledge, and uncomplicated tactics he came to R.M. from the University of Maryland and proceeded to whip the Rockets into the team which eventually won the championship. However, he would say, Don't give me credit for our victories and don't blame me for our losses. For his part in leading the underdog Rockets to thechampionship, Mr. Lester was elected Gang-tackling was the keynote of the Rockets' potent defense. Cutting down the Wheaton Knights are D.

Of course, there was the giant golden football which symbolized Bi-County supremacy. The Sentinel presented us their revolving trophy of the R.M.-G. Burg-Sherwood series. The Sentinel also gave us a Bi-County championship trophy. In addition to presenting Mr. Lester the key to Rockville, the Mayor and Council gave us a plaque of- ficially honoring the Rockets as a fine football team. Later, the Rockville Chamber of Commerce honored the Rockets with a dinner and a trophy for outstanding athletic achievement. I03 Mile High Kelly takes Mackey pass and scores. It's over!

These boys, who went 2-5-1 for the season, were all sophomores and they gained invaluable experience which they will be able to use in the years to come.

We had some fine talent and Coach Moore read- ied them forthe challenge ofthe teams ahead. The sea- son was highlighted by a double win over Wheaton, 56-44 and 48-45, an easy victory over Sherwood, 41- 265 a close game with Oxon Hill, 44-38, and a devastat- ing victory against G-Burg, 48-27.

The Rockets were not able to beat the larger down-county teams. Although our team left something to be desired, our records were heightened by some outstanding personal performances from Bobby Doane and John Kelly. Doane brought us several medals with his fine hurdle running. Although John set excellent times in the iOO and 220-yard dashes and put the shot 45 feet, his specialty was the pole vault. Pole vaulting, he captured many first places and won the state cham- pionship. D. Roush throws discus for Rock- ets at Northwood Invitational Track Meet. -1. .. N ROW I: T. Martin, B. Khuen, P.

Girls' Intramurals Sports-minded girls had the opportunity to partici- pate in athletics again this year. Under the direction of Miss Morrison and Miss Baker, and organized by the members of the Girls' Sports Association, the intramural program provided an excellent opportunity for training girls in teamwork, sportsmanship and playing skills. One of the most popular programs was the badmin- ton tournament. The 90 girls who signed up were grad- ually eliminated from the competition until only the winner remained. Towrds spring, volleyball and softball took the lead. Archery gave a well-rounded touch to the yearly intra- mural program. Wild times in the girls' intramurals. D. Auber watches expectantly for her successful foul shot to push up that score. After Christmas vacation, basketball season was close at hand. Sixteen teams entered this intramural program. Games were held every Monday, Wednesday and Fri- day afterschool. A senior team, the Speedwinds, fought to first place, followed by the Huckleberry Hounds in second place. The honor team, consisting of the 12 best of 40 girls who tried out, played in sportsdays. Our honor team won over Wheaton 53-21. Basketball Honor Team BASKETBALL HONOR TEAM-STANDING: D. Auber, D.

Returned Last June when we left R.M., a steel and concrete framework outlined the new wing in a sturdy pattern of rectangles. We returned from summer wanderings to find the roof and walls in place, but plastic sheets, not glass, covered the window spaces, and dirt floors, rough walls, bare ceilings outlined empty rooms. We saw construction materials and scraps lying in heaps of various sizes, obstructing doorways and the front circle. We crowded in, llOO of us.

NEAP is an institution as well as a paper. It is the spirit of light-hearted individualism so typical of the Richard Montgomery Senior Class. The NEAP, when regarded as a publication, is a humorous paper based on school life tinted with all the elements which create humor: satire, ludicrousness, puns, cartoons, and truth. The staff is composed of Bob White, renowned hum- anist, editor, Dick Tucker, most likely to succeed? , as- sistant editor, Paul Wright, Mr. Personality, poet lau- reate, and George Hanratty, Knave at Large. Many other students assist, especially in the field of inspir- ation. The idea of the NEAP began to materialize in 1957, stocks were issued in 1958, it gained widespread recognition in l959, and in l96O, the NEAP controlled the creative thought in Richard Montgomery. Strangely enough, the NEAP manages to infiltrate many school activities. Gr ll9 Beat G-Burg! and Fight! echo through the gym during pep,assem- bly.

Partied Joking, dancing and raising the roof, we attended many parties and dances. R.M.'s clubs sponsored vari- ous dances throughout the year. Highlighting the school dances was the Snow Whirl. Never before had the attendance been so large or the decorations so beauti- ful. As enormous, glittering snowflakes danced from the rafters, Bill Earl and his Nightingales provided dance music. The Elwood Smith Teen Center sponsored the beat- est beatnik dance ever. Female beats showed up in tights, long straight hair, black eye make-up and for once no lipstick. The boys arrived in berets, beards and dark glasses. Luckily it was all in fun and the following day found us back to normal.
