S. with her sweet disposition, with her wit, and just “full of life;” ways which soon won the hearts of all R. H. S. She has no equal, which is shown by her large circle of friends. §3 Q S3 Jflorencc Campbell f)oung “Flink” Caesar Club 2; Commercial Club 3, 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4; Citizenship Society 2, 3, 4; Student Government 4; Sunshine and Shadows 4; Reed Club 4.

To most people Grace seems quiet and conservative but to those who know her more intimately she presents a character full of sympathy, good humor, and friend liness. She is readily adaptable to other people’s varying moods, plans, and desires, and faces any disagreeable task bravely. a sa sa Jllargaret Sira IParb History Club 2; Citizenship Society 2, 3, 4; Feytel Club 3, 4; Assistant Librarian. Margaret’s unselfishness, kindness and cheerfulness will lead her successfully through any predicament; her gentle manner would melt the hardest heart.

Quiet, observant, polite and constant are adjectives belonging to Mary. A wee bit of bashfulness and shyness are things not discreditable to her. We can’t penetrate into the depths of her qualities further but we are expecting great things for her. fra fra tra 6a aa fia (Eleanor (Eugenia Wl) te “Giggles” Student Government 2; Caesar Club 2; Science Club 2; History Club 3; Sunsf and Shadows 4; Feytel Club (Treasu 4; Citizenship Society 1, 2, 3, 4.

e l! Cr + + +-4w - . £lir ixockft ' J istorp of Class of 1929 This is station H-I-S-T-O-R-V of the Rocket Studio at Rockville High School. Our school-wide audience has requested by telegram that sonic of our old numbers be repeated—favorites that have lived down through the years. Pull up your comfortable rocker and while you are transported to the early years of our endeavor; stand by. On the eighth of September, 1918, forty little tots came slowly up the steps of the great R. H. S. tugging on the skirts, hands or sashes of their maternal parents. Each little girl in a fresh gingham dress and each little boy with a new tie. Things were different and the little girls and boys learned the A. B. C's and how to do reading and 'riting and rithmetic under the kind supervision of Miss Mary Brewer. Advancing one year in age. importance and size, the little tots meandered into Mrs. Ward’s room to continue on their journey of reading, 'riting. and 'rithmetic and the hard and fast tables were brought before their eyes. All was calm except for the hair pulling' staged rather often by Ann Knight and Leonard Nicholson. Soon another year had passed and now our “travelers” reached the third grade and where discipline began under the guidance of Miss Yirgic Brewer. A new thing in the next year with Mrs. Kingdom was the organization of the room and election of officers. In the following three years the “happy warriors” grew in all things for it did come to pass that they entered contests for reading, reciting and athletics. In athletics Hazel Bennett, Rose Lee Clagett and Dorothea Hoskinson were especially prominent. These three years of trouble and happiness combined were directed by Miss Maude England, Miss Margaret Morton and Miss Elberta Rice. At the graduation exercises the forty little tots had grown to children and were preparing to take a big step higher; much higher. As they received their diplomas the smile of the conqueror's was spread on each one’s face. And on September morn in 1925 sixty-eight grown up little tots came to join the chorus of knowledge seekers at Rockville. They were a happy lot seven years gone and only four more to do but how? Their arrival attracted no further attention than occasional critical remarks from the upper classmen who seemed to forget how they themselves had once started. Miss Lane and Miss Bordeaux with the rest of the fac ulty “laid down the law” and the poor Freshmen shivered as if chilled A bit of studying was seen for several weeks—the first reports were inde? worth of envy. Latin and Science proved very annoying and finally M er | disregarded by some. After a while they became accustomed to their surroundings few took on some extra lines! Alger Barbee found the orchestra for him and his cornet. Luther Burdette won the high-jump on Field DW-.
