-ROCKET- THE ROCKET VOLUME I 1927 PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS Of Montgomery County High School I ROCKET --- 1927 FOREWORD This is the first annual published by Montgomery County High School. We hope that this rather small beginning will he the forerunner of many larger and better volumes; that it may be the means of raising our school standards in everything from literature to athletics; that the seniors of 1927 will be given a concrete record of their career, especially their last year in high school; and that pleasant memories and renewed contacts with old friends will be brought to our alumni. If we have done anything to accomplish these aims, we teel that our work on this book has not been in vain. Page three R O C K E T 19 2 7 DEDICATION To Mr. Edwin W. Broome As an expression of the affection, appreciation, and gratitude of the faculty and students of Montgomery County High School for his educational service to the citizens of Montgomery County, we respectfully dedicate this, the first volume of our annual, The Rocket ROCKET - - - 1927 Page five ROCKET ■ - - 1927 L. FLETCHER SCHOTT, Principal University of Maryland Mr. Schott assigned the principalship of Montgomery County High School in 1926. He has brought two outstanding principles to the school. The first is to work harder, so that we may he better prepared for the tasks of life at the present and in the future. The second is to learn to work and play in such a manner that honor and good sportsmanship will be our goal in all our endeavors.

In the heart of a town, In the county seat, There stands a school That can’t be beat. From early morn ’Til late at night The old school house Is a wonderful sight. With some children there And a teacher near The old school bell Rings out its cheer. In the class rooms of This very large school To learn and study Is a general rule. On through the day They study, you see, From many text books Until they’re free. Then comes the game In which they play To help the time To pass away.

Of course, the first of the voyage was rough and 'most everyone of us suffered the hardships of new mariners. The pirate ship Sophomore was a great obstacle during this journey, but was overcome as these buccaneers soon learned that the Freshmen crew could not be downed. After this, our ship sailed clear of all obstacles and came sailing to the port Vacation to let the crew spend their time as they wished, till the call of the waves brought them together again in September. After a glorious time of doing as we pleased, the majority of us heeded to this call of the sea and boarded tbe good ship. Some of the original members left the crew to seek their fortune elsewhere. Only two new members were seen on deck. During this year the ship struck a big rock, the rock of Latin. After many trials and tribulations, tbe ship left the reef Faye twenty-one R 0 C K E T - - - 19 2 7 and we, the crew, were much benefited by the struggle and received little gold pins (not Spanish dollars) in pay for our efforts. During th:s year the sophomore class crew organized the original English Club. After cruising over the seas for a while longer, the good ship again went to harbor at vacation for a rest period. The crew was glad to get a sight of Vacation Land after so long a voyage. As September moved around again, the ship started. Few members left the crew, and many joined the merry sea-rovers. This crew of juniors was made to walk the plank by the High and Mighty Seniors. After going through that necessary ordeal, we received the highly, prized rings. We the Junior Crew, were initiated into the exclusive Feytel Club by these seniors. To the leeward, our ship struck the rock of matrimony. One of the members of the commercial crew left the ship to reach her realm of life, marriage. Near the end of this voyage the Junior Sailors entertained the Senior Sailors. By this time, after a voyage of three years, the Junior Crew was beginning to attract attention by the activity of its members, many of whom were taking part in the athletics, dramatics, and in other tasks of the ship. We concluded this most enjoyable voyage and again sailed into the good old port, Vacation, which now seemed home to us. When our leave expired in September, our crew, now Seniors, came back to the' old ship to rove the sea of High School for the last voyage. This year we ruled as High and Mighty Seniors, the most cherished desire of our escapade on the sea of High School. This journey was very delightful and the sailing was fine. Of the various extra-curriculars of the good ship, most everyone was presided over by a Senior Sailor of this High and Mighty group. If we can all live up to our motto, “Keep rowing; don’t drift,” the class of one thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven will be a class of which Rockville High School may well be proud.

Mr. Beall, who was then our principal, said that we were just that many dynamos—charged and ready for work. Miss Lane and Mrs. Beebe were the teachers with the dreadful task of telling us “freshies” what was expected of us. “Now don’t run up and down steps; and whatever you do, don’t go up town without permission.” These and many others were our first instructions. Under the two teachers already named, and other equally good ones, we were guided over the first perilous months of high school life. Now, dear reader, don’t think that just because we were freshmen that we didn’t get on the map of R. H. S. For example, what would the Dramatic Club have done without the freshmen's contribtions? Delma Smith and Charles Kennedy were our two brightest stars. But before many months had passed we were getting weak on energy and would have been glad for a suggestion that would have put “pep” and “vim into us. Oh! Latin, English, and science, they were the things that ran away with all of our surplus energy. However tired we might have been in June, we were ready to come back to dear old R. H. S. the following September. Although our number had been somewhat diminished, we were certainly a lively bunch of “Sophs.” Say, didn’t we feel important? No longer freshmen, but we had graduated from that class and were now very “dignified” Sophomores. e now were beginning to feel a little more like a real necessary part of the high school. During our second year we began to shine forth from the athletic field. e feel that we have a perfect reason to be extremely proud of our showing—Virginia Porter, Elizabeth Ferry, Helen Feeney, Arthur Hersberger, and Maurice Jenkins were some in whom the class placed its pride. e are sure that we have a right to be proud of our record as a sophomore class. We are now ready to relate the most recent history of our class. We came back to High School in the fall of ’26 as juniors. We are now on the “shady side” of our four years of high school life. While we are all very happy over the fact that we are juniors, yet we are willing to recognize the fact that we have many things to learn. We are sure that we will learn the greater part of these things before we graduate. We are proud of our past record, but we are more than proud of our present showing in both the dramatic and athletic fields. Some of our bright stars now are Mildred Ward, Julia Montgomery. Edna Benson, John Draff, Fred Graff, and John Brewer in the dramatic field; and Lloyd Jones, Arthur Hersberger, and Maurice Jenkins in the athletic field. As we see the time drawing near when we will be seniors and then alumni, we are both glad and sorry. We are sorry to be leaving the dear old school, best friends, and teachers; but we are glad because of the fact that we will have made a success of our high school life. We rejoice in the fact that we will soon lie—Seniors—and examples to the rest of the school.

H. S. flung wide her portals on September of 1926. the students who were to become Sophomores of ’27 entered with joy and of course, a few sorrows, as many of the previous year’s classmates were missing. The prospects of being sophomores was indeed very bright, for were we not to direct the wavering footsteps of the poor “li’l freshies?” After the first week or so, we finally settled down to work (W-O-R-K) and the classes (academic and commercial) were organized under the supervision of their respective home-room teachers. These were Miss Hickerson and Mr. Gardner. The election of officers was held and the students chosen to help direct our classes were: First Semester—Academic Eugenia Hardy Representative Elsie Purdum Secretary Second Semester Marie Clarke Representative Elsie Purdum Secretary First Semester—Commercial James Ryan Representative Catherine Rabbitt Secretary Second Semester Dorothea Hoskinson Representative Catherine Rabbitt Secretary As students, the sophomore class has made a high standing. Many have been citizens for all the months and almost all have been at some time members of the Citizenship Society. The sophomore class has produced the following honor-roll students: Alger Barbee, Marie Clarke. Somervell Dawson. Mary Fisher. Eugenia Hardy, Bettie Hickerson, Dorothea Hoskinson. Dorsey Hughes, Anne Knight. Frank Marshall. Claude Orndorff, Lucille Penn, Reeva Powers, Elsie Purdum, and Margaret Ward. In the social activities of R. H. S. the Sophomores played an important part. Many of them have been taking an active part in club work. Those athletically inclined were given their chance in the baseball, basketball, soccer, volley and field ball of which the “Sophs” were often victorious. Without any serious calamities, just an occasional near-calamitv, such as going up the wrong way on one-way stairs, our sophomore year has proceeded peacefully, and it is all too quickly drawing to an end.

When we entered, we numbered one hundred and nine. Not long after, seven pupils joined us. Our class is divided into two sections, academic and commercial. The only way these sections differ in the first year is, that the commercials take history and the academics take Latin. There are twenty-six in the “A” or Latin section and eighty-three in the “B” or history section. We organized our class in the early part of October and chose the following as officers: Representative, Gecrge Lamar: Alternate, Valentine Wilson ; and Secretary, John Gandy. Maude Wilson represents us as a reporter for freshmen girls' news and George Lamar for the freshman boy’s news in “Sunshine and Shadows.'’ We were represented in the dramatic club play by Elbert Smith. We were unaccustomed to high school life, but as all of us are willing to learn, we soon caught on. For the first few weeks in English class, Miss Walters was kind to us and we soon got used to her. We took in all our “math” laws, but it was quite a few weeks before Miss Goodwin got us straightened out. We are beginning to grasp everything in the book.. We have had very good attendance this year, because no one wants to miss the jokes we hear from Mr. Gardner, our history teacher. Miss Espey’s constant drilling in English is changing the “A” section into grammarians and authors. Miss Hickerson makes Latin interesting to us, even though it is a hard subject; while Miss Benson is making “math” sharks of the “A” girls. If the Freshman girls are industrious helpers to their mothers, it will be due to Miss Orme’s home economics course. Early in September soccer loomed on the horizon. Many of the boys tried hard, but didn't succeed in making the first team. With the second team, however, we had better luck. Those who made it from our class were Harold Beane and Edwin Anders. When February came, we found we had some boys and girls on the honor roll. They were: George Lamar. Valentine Wilson, Worthington Ptimphrcy, Jack Markland, Dorothy Wootton, Maude Wilson, Leona Lin-thicum, Elizabeth Mooney, Priscilla Burdette, Wilma Smith, Gertrude Nichols, Laura Gardner and Helen Clarke. We are all looking forward to Field Day in which all the schools in Montgomery County will take part. The boys in our class have practiced hard for baseball, basketball, and other sports, and we hope to be represented by them.

The object of the organization is to develop in the student the power of self-government by teaching him. through active participation in school government, his responsibilities and duties to his fellow-students and his school. Thus he secures the training later necessary for a good citizen. The Student Council is the representative lawmaking body of the school, consisting of one member from each home room, elected by the students of the respective room. The council selects the different committees, namely; the assembly Committee, which lias charge of seating of classes and guests in the auditorium; the patrol committee, which has charge of the halls, and directing of traffic; the lunch room committee, which sees that all dishes are put in the appointed places; and the sanitation committee, which supervises the conditions in and around the school. The school flower, the black-eyed Susan, the colors, orange and black: and the school motto. “We enter to learn and leave to serve,” were adopted by the council. The meetings of this organization are held once each week with the faculty advisor present. Page thirty-eight ROCKET - - - 1927 THE CITIZENSHIP SOCIETY f Faculty Advisers .............. Miss Hauke and Miss Murphy President ..................................... Rebecca Keys Vice President .......................................Eleanor Linthicum Secretary ...................................St. Clair Brooke Treasurer ....................................Margaret Hicks The Citizenship Society was organized as the Citizenship Club, in January, 1926, under the direction of Mr. Schott. The first officers of the club were: President, Margaret Carroll; Vice President, Lucille Carlin; Secretary, Eleanor Linthicum; and Treasurer, Jack Jones. The Citizenship Society was organized to help promote the general welfare of Rockville High School by improving the school: by instilling in the students a better sense of citizenship; also to help make them good, true citizens of the United States, so that they will be a help rather than a hindrance to their country. The members of the society are selected each month by the faculty. Anyone in the school who shows a hundred per cent effort in his work, and acts as a lady or gentleman at all time, is eligible. The officers are chosen each month, with the exception of the treasurer, who has a permanent position as long as he is a member. Page thirty-nine ROCKET - - - 1927 SENIORS’ FAREWELL There’s a place in this world of sunshine That’s dear to ev’ry heart, ’Tis Montgomery County High School From which we now must part. 'Tis the place of our early training. The place of youthful dreams, Which through many of childhood’s sorrows Sent its light-giving beams. There’s biology, physics, history. And French, and F.nglish, too: And we musn’t forget the math or “Stenog we have to do. ()f all hard-hearted, cruel teachers That gave “kids work to do— I have found far the worst at Rockville I’m sure I ever knew. We have scarcely a single minute Altho’ we’re seniors, big; As for hours upon ev’ry subject We have to dig, and dig. Hut we're working, and not just shirking; We try to do our best. So that when the short journey’s ended. Our minds will be at rest. Though it’s four long years we’ve spent here, Yet it’s seemed short to us; And with dread we have thought of parting, Now we know that we must. We've rejoiced in our Alma Mater, Our fortune and hers are one; We part from her now in sadness. Our tasks in life just begun. But Farewell” need be not forever, And always we’ll be true To our class here of twenty-seven. Our colors : gold and blue.

The paper was printed by Mrs. Barnsley, aided by some of the students. This sheet was about four inches square, printed with a small handpress, and sold for a cent a copy. During the succeeding years this journal has grown, not only in size and cost, but also in scope and interest of material, until now it may be classed as an up-to-date high-school publication. The present “Sunshine and Chadows” is published monthly. Page forty-two THE ORCHESTRA Mildred Ward—Piano. John draff and Landon Selby—saxophones. Alger Barbee—cornet. Austin Crane. Mary Fisher and Isadore Steinburg—violins. David Lehman—banjo. Marvin Uinstead—drums. The year of '26-’27 was a tip-top season for the Orchestra at Rockville High School. Although the orchestra comprises but a few members, we feel that it forms a good beginning which will grow and develop into a larger organization. The Orchestra made its initial appearance at the I’arent-’l eachers’ Association entertainment at Washington Grove. Its offerings at that time were well enough received to encourage its further activity, and on other occasions it did itself credit. We sincerely hope that under Miss Goodwin s able direction the organization will improve and grow, and at the same time, that it will create interest in good music among the students. Pane forty-three ROCKET 19 2 7 PUBLIC SPEAKING CLUB The Public Speaking Club was organized under the leadership of Mr. Schott in the beginning of the school year 1926-1927. The purpose of the club is to promote the various types of speaking in the school. All the members of the club participated- in the preliminaries of the Oratorical Contest in the school. The club representatives won all places in this contest. Helen Wilkinson was chosep as the school speaker. Her subject was “John Marshall and the Constitution.” Jacqueline Darrieulat was chosen as alternate, and Margaret Hicks was third. Although this club has just been organized, few can help but realize its vast importance to the Rockville High School and its students. The following people are members of the club: Helen Wilkinson Mary Purdum Norman Ingalls Katherine King Nettie Mae Orine Margaret Hicks Jacqueline Darrieulat Mildred Ward Audrey Huntington Anne Meriam Adviser—Mr. Schott I'ulie forty-four It () C K E T 1 2 7 VO-AG CLUB Faculty Adviser ...............................! • • Gates President ..............................Lee Ridgeley Howes Vice President .............................Ellsworth Pauley Secretary-Treasurer .........................Luther Burdette MOTTO: “Make the better best. The Vo-Ag Club of Rockville High School has for its membership the students of the class of Vocational Agriculture and also several non-member students of the Rockville High School who carry 4-11 Club projects. There have been some encouraging achievements within the past year: among these, third place for the dairy-cattle judging team, and seventh place in corn judging at the Frederick Fair. Lee Ridgeley Howes won the prize as the state’s best Guernsey judge and was fourth-best individual judge in the state. Ellsworth Pauley, another Vo-Ag boy, was a member of the poultry judging team which represented Montgomery County at tire State Poultry Contest at Hagerstown . This team won the state championship for poultry judging. The aim of the organization as set forth in the club’s constitution is: To study and practice the more improved methods and practices of agriculture. and to perform such services to the community and to its individual members as lie within its power.” Page forty-five ROCKET --- 1927 DRAMATIC CLUB President .......................................Rebecca Keys Secretary ....................................St. Clair Brooke Treasurer ........................................John Brewer The Pandean Players, the dramatic club of Rockville High School, was organized in 1923 under the direction of Mrs. Beebe. The first officers of the club were: President, Jeanette de Saulles; Secretary, Avlynne Carvey; Treasurer, Helen McLaughlin. “Aaron Boggs, Freshman” was the first production of the Pandean Players; in it Spillman Burns and Jeanette de Saulles had the leading roles. The plays next given were: “The Charm School” and “The Judsons Entertain,” under Mrs. Beebe’s instruction, in the school year 1924-1925; in the following year, “Mr. Bob” and “The Mummy and the Mumps,” supervised by Miss Karn. “Miss Somebody Else,” under the direction of Miss Walters; and “Kicked Out Of College,” which was coached by Miss Goodwin, were presented this year. With the profits from the plays, thq club has presented to the school a piano, a new curtain for the stage, and shelves in two dressing rooms. Besides this, they have bought new books for the library. Although of only four years’ standing, the Pandean Players are well known because of the excellent plays which they have presented. Page forty-six ROCKET 1927 ART CLUB Evelyn Pepper ...................................President Thelma Sanbower ............................Vice President Violet Ricketts .......................Secretary-Treasurer The Art Club of the Montgomery County High School was organized this year under the supervision of Miss Hauke. This club was organized because there was a demand on the part of some of the students for a course in drawing, which the regular curriculum did not provide. The membership of the club is not large; there being only seventeen active members, coming from all classes of the school. The meetings are held during the activities period on alternate Fridays in the science room. The members made posters for the dramatic club play and badges for the subscribers of the “Rocket.” They have been taking up charcoal work at their regular meetings. The names of the active members are as follows: Margaret White Burnice Runner Marie Clarke Helen Clarke Rebecca Lea man Agnes Dixon Frances Sprosser Dorothy Snyder Virginia White Violet Ricketts Thelma Sanbower Edward Shaeffer Frederick Cook June Isherwood Evelyn Pepper Elizabeth Wanner Page forty-seven K () C K E T 19 2 7 HISTORY CLUB H—History, from which comes the club’s name; I—Instructor, Mr. Gardner, we claim; S—“Shining lights” quite a few there he; T—Thirty-nine full fledged members are we; O—Officers—quite efficient are they; R—Renown among the best organizations, they say.

The aim of the club is to increase historical and social interests among the students of Rockville High School. Two members of the History Club wrote a historical play which we were to put on in the assembly hall. All students taking or having taken history in high school are eligible for membership. Due to our high ideals, the organization is winning great popularity. Page forty-eight ROCKET 19 2 7 COMMERCIAL CLUB Faculty Adviser President ...... Vice President Secretary ...... Treasurer ...... ... Miss Sawyer Xcttie Mae Orme Frances Magruder ........Ruby Gott ....Dorothy Allison The Commercial Club, first known as “The Eagle Pen. originated in the year 1923. The forming of the club was a suggestion of Miss Avlyne Carey, graduate of ’23. The chief aim of the Eagle Pen was to promote speed and accuracy among the shorthand students of Rockville High. At the beginning of the school term this year, the club name was changed to Commercial Club, taking in all commercial students. The aim was put in the form of a motto. “He can who thinks he can.” Since organization, the club has been recognized as a very active one. It has presented many enjoyable and successful assemblies, and the meetings have been interesting and “peppy.” It is the sincere hope of the seniors that the students remaining behind will show their appreciation of the benefits and pleasures derived from the club by continuing on through the successive terms to come.

Until last September, the only science organization in the school was the Biology Club, which had been functioning for two years. We felt that the school needed a society covering some of the other branches of such an important subject; so the Science Club was organized, with the idea of promoting interest in scientific knowledge of all kinds. The persons eligible for the club are those who have had or are taking their second year of science. The advantage of this plan is. that all the Science Club members have an elementary knowledge of the subject and that they are thus able to advance faster in club work. The club hopes that it will be able to impart to its members efficient knowledge which will be of use to them in later life. This year we have discussed various topics. The biology students discoursed on things biological for us at one of our meetings. Our president gave us a very interesting talk on chemistry. We have had quite a few other speeches by club members, notably by Russell Umstead and John Clum, our “A” students in chemistry.

The Feytel Cercle Frangais is now the oldest club in Rockville High School, and until last year it was the largest club in the school. The club was named in honor of “Monsieur Feytel of L’Ecole super-ieure de Bonneville, France.” Monsieur Feytel has been of great aid to our club by sending pictures and helping us with our foreign correspondence. Our motto is “En Avant.” The object of the club is to help improve our French, and also our school. This club meets twice a month, and an interesting program is usually given. Among the activities of the club which keep it at its high standard are the successful parties which the club gives each year. As each year there are more students taking French, the Feytel Cercle will grow large, and it will be an even greater success than formerly.

The motto is “Crescat scientia.” The club was organized by Miss Mary Agnes Lane and began functioning in 1923-24. 1 he history of the club is very pleasant to its former members, who read books about Rome in the time of the Caesars, and learned Latin poems and Roman customs. As the conditions of membership are a grade of C and a pledge of taking an active part in the work of the club, it is progressing. We hope to make it one of the outstanding clubs of the school.

H. S. was faced with the huge task of upholding the high standards set by the veteran and experienced team of 1925-26. The first call for soccer candidates was answered by many enthusiasts and Coach Gardner immediately began to build his team around Alfred Gandy, the only experienced player on the squad. The prospects seemed very good as the training season progressed, the team averaged 13X pounds and possessed a fast line with a steady back-field. 'I'lie opening game with Silver Spring proved a good experiment after which several minor changes were made in the line-up of the team. Gaithersburg gained the lead in the County Soccer League by defeating Rockville the second game of the season, and held first place the remainder of the contest series. Considering the green material, the soccer team performed exceptionally well and deserve much praise. Gandy at Center Forward, Walter Sabine at Center Half Back, and Harold Maffett at Right Full Back, although the mainstays of the team, were wonderfully supported by the rest of the aggregation. Practically the entire soccer squad shall return to school for the 1927-2S school year, and with the team work and school spirit they demonstrated this year a very victorious soccer season is predicted for R.

Page fifty-four ROCKET - - - 1927 BASKETBALL Basketball was not a very big success last season. We won very few games. Most of the members of the team had never played before, which accounts for a part of the failures of the team. Another reason for the poor showing is that we have not any gymnasium in which to practice. Silver Spring won the County Championship. We shall have an entirely different tale to tell next season. What makes us believe this is. that we shall have a veteran team next season and probably a good gymnasium in which to practice. The team was composed of Maffett and Beall, forwards; Gandy, center; and Jenkins and Matthews, guards. Substitutes were Collins, Marshall, Jones, Dawson, Markland, and Steinberg. Collins would have made the team if it had not been for the unfortunate tragedy in his family.

The team was beaten by only a few points by Georgetown 61-52, and swept all first places in the County Meet on Educational day. Most outstanding on the team were Winston Mooney, half-mile; Jack Hughes, 440; Jenkins, 220; Gandy, 100; Beall, Robert Collins, and Burdette in the jumps; Robert Collins and Lehman in the shot put. Rockville retained the county championship in track for 1927 by scoring 125 points, field day. First places were won by J. Jones, C. Orndorff, B. Welsh, I,. Jones, M. Jenkins, W. Mooney, L. Burdette, and 440 and 660 yd. relay teams. Page fifty-six ROCKET--- 1927 FIELD BALL Last fall the first field hall team was organized in our school. Other schools in the county had been playing this game for several years, but this did not seem to be an advantage for them, for our inexperienced team carried off the victory in the county. The winning of the county championship was not an easy one. for it was only by one goal that we were able to win from Sandy Spring. Each player received a medal.

After the team was selected, out practice began in earnest. The first game of the season, which was played between Rockville and Bethesda, was won by the Rockville team. By winning the first game of the season we received much encouragement. By getting some real practice, we defeated some other schools of Montgomery County.

We hoped to have a very successful year with volley ball, although Sandy Spring and Fair-land have lowered our colors. This is the first year our team has been allowed to play other schools except on Field Day. We played a few outside games in the fall. Class teams have been organized under the direction of Miss Rachel Dickerson and Miss Gladys Benson. The work has been progressing very well. We have been getting in shape for spring games. The captains of the class teams have worked especially hard, so that we are hoping for real results. Rockville High School Volley Ball Team (F'all Term).

TOUCHDOWN PASSBALL We are justly proud of our girls’ athletic teams which played last year on Field day, May 9, 1926. Our Touchdown Passball team took second place last year, after its hard work under the direction of Miss Mary Agnes Lane. It was the first time that the game had evre played between the county schools. The Team consisted of the following: Mary Purduni, Ardean Owings. Ruth Proctor, Loretta Hunter, Catherine Dawson, Catherine Shaw, Frances Magruder, Sub. Hazel Bennett. CAPTAIN BALL The Captain Ball team is a group of which we are proud. It has won the championship for the past three years. Some of the old-timers played last season and the new girls showed plenty of pep and spirit. The team prospered greatly under the efforts of Miss Margaret Karn, and again won the championship on Field Day, at which the following played: Irene Allen (Capt.), Sallie Keys, Beck Keys, Edna Benson.

Signed this eighth day of June, nineteen hundred and twenty-seven. The Senior Class. CLASS PROPHECY It was on a beautiful fall afternoon that I decided to wander out into the woods. The scenes that greeted my eyes were wonderful, for the hills were a gorgeous mass of riotous colors, and the green and gold and brown seemed to blend perfectly with the glorious splendor of the deep blue sky over head. Yet, there was something sad. something pathetic about it all, for each falling leaf seemed to sigh that winter would soon cover it with a blanket of white. The day was warm, and as 1 sat in the shade of a huge tree, the leaves fell one by one, forming a soft carpet about me. Their beauty was irresistible, so I gathered them into my lap to examine more closely their delicate tints. 1 was hardly aware of my surroundings, when suddenly there appeared before me a little fairy. She told me that the leaves were magic, and that upon them were reflected visions of my Rockville High School classmates of ’27. She said, “Cherish them, and they will reveal to you all you wish to know about those friends of days gone by.” As soon as she had spoken these words, she vanished. Behold! Who was this fair damsel with such dancing feet that I saw upon this one? 1 looked and. to my utter amazement, I saw the lovely face of Beck Keys. She was a famous American dancer, touring the world, and astonishing thousands upon thousands of admirers with her clever dancing. It all seemed like a dream too good to be true; nevertheless, it was true, for each little leaf did portray what the good fairy had prophesied. I sat enraptured, carefully scrutinizing each little leaf, lest I should overlook some minute detail. Each had a story of its own to tell, and such a varied selection of careers and occupations as there were! Harold Maffett was now a teacher of chemistry, with high standing, at Pi inceton. Paye sixty-two ROCKET --- 1927 Next 1 saw the happy care-free Frances Magruder. Her path has always been like a merry dance with many friends, lovers, and books. She has traveled over strange lands and seas and has wandered far, her gay laugh always ringing with pure merriment. I saw Ruth Cowan holding high honors in the business world as a stenographer. Jack Jones has advanced in the profession of medicine, where the world has discovered that he possesses a rare power of diagnosis. Margaret Jones was in Paris acting as a model for one of the famous modistes. The creations that Margaret wore were stunningly designed, and they were being enviously viewed by many rich society leaders. Sterling Bowman is traveling with the famous Barnum and Baily circus. Sterling was always inclined to be funny. His working costume is a clown suit. Nothing else is needed to make the little boys and girls laugh when he leads the circus parade down the avenue. Irene Allen was now manager of the new million-doliar radio station just erected in Gaithersburg. Robert Beall had spread his teachings of self-control, especially in the matter of temper, over the world, and had been amazingly successful in teaching his art to the redheads. Francis Collins, the torment of our class, was now a Methodist preacher; his church is situated in Chevy Chase. Virginia Royer is his organist. Although the “Black Bottom was hut a ghostly memory, St. Clair Brooke appeared in the quaint costume of the flappers of 1927 and performed that acrobatic atrocity, much to the delight of the diners of the new million-dollar hotel in Rockville. Helen Rabbitt had just been awarded winner’s honors in the 1927 tennis tournament held in Los Angeles. Rockville High School has progressed so rapidly that it has been necessary for the principal to employ a private secretary; Martha Lee Myers was holding that position. Among those who have placed their hats in the presidential ring were Landon Selby, former president of the senior class. Margaret Hicks with her husband, the French ambassador to the United States, has been touring Europe. Jack Spates, our great mathematician, was teaching at George Washington University at Washington. At a recent recital of John McCormack, his accompanist was Katherine King. Eleanor Linthicum was the editor-in-chief of the Montgomery News-Advocate. Mary Ellen Poss was secretary for Commander Byrd on his flights around the world in his plane. Alice Whalen has traveled in a far distant tropic island; she has traveled and been loved by the native children, as a missionary. She will teach them to be like herself, good, obedient and wise. Alfred Gandy had succeeded John L. McGraw as manager of the New York Giants. It was predicted that Alfred would prove to be one of the greatest leaders in the history of the game. Norman F'isher had at last received a diploma from R. H. S. Page sixty-three ROCKET--- 1927 Margaret Fisher, that little masculine woman, has given the feminine world many new ideas of masculine attire. Josephine Leahy and Dorothy Snyder are famous prima donnas. They consent only to appear before select audiences. They are scheduled to tour in Europe this coming fall. Elizabeth W anner was leading a retired life. One of Elizabeth’s rich uncles died and left her about fifty million dollars. She was very generous with her newly-found riches, for she gave anonymously thousands of dollars each year to charitable institutions. Mary Purdum. known for her research work in Egypt, has now opened her own library of prehistoric arts in Gaithersburg, it is the most famous of its kind. In Hollywood, California, there was located a beauty shop. It’s owned by Eleanor Moulden. She was doing such a rushing business with the screen stars that she hired Blanch Crawford to look after things for them. Movie stars are such “vamps” that Blanche is having a hard time trying to keep her mind on the business. Austin Crane was the star in “Zippers,” the brightest comedy on Broadway. Me was startling that great metropolis with his brilliant acting. Bernard Jones was known to the whole world as the woman-charmer. Edna Gandy was making a fortune writing popular songs. Her latest, “Classroom Blues,” is creating a great sensation among college students. F.ilene Broadhurst, whose motto is Cosmetics Forever,” has invented many new colors and designs for the feminine world. Nettie Orme was conducting “The School for Fascinators.” She guarantees a husband for every girl who enrolls, and at the present time the school is crowded to its limited capacity. Russell Umstead has proved to be a first-class mechanic in a Ford garage. I always wondered how he could have so much patience with a Ford. 1 remember when lie used to come to school in time for lunch. Dudley And a few months ago went to Paris to open a new Atlantic and Pacific store. At last his opportunity has come to use the French which he learned in Rockville High School. Dottie Allison was making a trip around the world in a canoe. It was extremely doubtful whether she will ever be seen again, but if she arrives in New York within ten years’ time, she will be acclaimed the greatest heroine since the days of Joan of Arc. It is Ruby Gott who has attained happiness and fame through sweet harmony. Along her path the stars with their diversions and troubles have stood aside as she passed, charming all with soft music. Having followed the desire of her heart. Agnes Dixon is now holding the high position of head nurse at the Emergency hospital in Washington. D. C. Rebecca Leaman, after acting as office nurse for Doctor Meade, decided to enter the field of dentistry and is now a specialist on pyorrhea cases. Suddenly a puff of wind lifted the leaves from my lap and whirled them away. I tried vainly to catch them, but they were gone. Gone! So I can tell no more. St. Claire Brooke ’27 ALUMNI NOTES When we began the work of writing the news of our alumni, we found that lack of space in this volume and the size of the task alike would make it impossible for us to tell of any, but the preceeding class.

They are now Mrs. William Baxter and Mrs. Xicewanner, respectively. We hope that in a future issue of the Rocket we can give other information about our alumni, of whom we are justly proud. Margaret Hicks, '27. Page sixty-five ROCKET --- 1927 CAESAR Caesar was a mortal man;' He was a Roman great; People bowed before him, Even while he ate. He became master of Rome. And conquered many a tribe; He conquered all of Gaul, And never used a bribe. He battled with Orgetorix, Wo lived upon the Rhine; He captured all Helvetia, And grabbed all he could find. He went against the Germans— There Ariovistus was king; He bombarded them so hard. That it made all Gaul to ring. The Belgians schemed a daring plot To capture Caesar, great; But when they tried it out on him. They found it was too late. Caesar had a favorite legion. “The Fighting Tenth” he called it; Whenever it attacked a town. It never failed to fall it. But he was killed by Brutus, Who stabbed him in his heart; He fell like lead upon the floor. Go down, Soul! Depart! His name stands out in history. As the greatest of his time; And they still teach his language. But I think it is a crime. Dorsey Hughes, ’29.
