M. H. S. THE ELM I944 MARLBQRQ HIGH SCHQQL By Hyatt Price Hamilton In the quaint but busy county seat of Upper Marlboro, off of the main thoroughfares in a lovely residential section you will find our high school. Its conventional red brick front is reared amidst the beautiful setting of evergreens and terraced lawns, with concrete walks 'round about, and steps from entrances running down the terraces to end in neat newel posts. Tothe side, along the top of the hill, and enhancing the setting, is the modernized but historical bungalow that now serves as a home for our principal. Next to this is the grave of our revered Dr. Beanes, of Revolutionary War and Star Spangled Banner fame. To the east of the school hill is the level and spacious athletic field. Here many a pleasant hour has been spent by every boy and girl in games and contests, and physical education classes. To the rear of the school all conventionality ceases. The mighty, creative hand of nature has wrought a lake or pond that offers not only a scenic view but in winter many days of gusty, wholesome ice skating and in spring and summer swimming and boating, with an occasional duck hunt in the fall. Inside we have every modern school facility, and a faculty that are not only thoroughly equipped and experi- enced but have consistently proved to be leaders in the field of education. Few schools can boast of the rare combination of exterior beauty and interior modernity. f2l

MHS THE ELM I944 HISTORICAL NQTE From the 1928 fthe initiall issue of The Elm we quote: To the visitor approaching our school will come the view ot a stately elm, spreading its benevolent branches over the sidewalk and playground. This tree towers above all its companions, and stands as a symbol of things lofty. We feel that this tree symbolizes the school and all its traditions. It is the one thing on the campus that stands unchanged - a landmark and memorial to the generations past and an inspiration to future generations who will play under its friendly shade and admire its sturdy structure. Hence, we have called our book 'The Elm. ' The old elm is now gone, but we lovingly commemorate it with another issue of our yearbook named in its honor, and we have, fittingly, planted a new elm in its place. May it live and prosper, and ever be a symbol ot the progress in education taking place on our hill. l4l
