ROCKET--- 1927 HISTORY OF THE JUNIOR CLASS When we entered the doors of Rockville High School on September nineteenth, nineteen twenty-four, we numbered over one hundred. 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. Page twenty-six
