He hails from Gaithersburg and proved to be one of the most outstanding athletes of the school. He ventured forth with such vigor and school spirit into athletic activities that R. H. S. just couldn’t help but sit up and take notice. There is so much to say about “Diane” that we just don’t know where to begin. WTit, humor, and good company are all embodied in her. “Diane” will not only attract you with her eyes, but will win your heart by her sunny disposition. R. H. S. will surely miss the “Diane” of 1931— they just can’t help it. Here’s our little shy Dorothy, but we feel this will not be for long. “Still water runs deep,” and we are sure that Dorothy will come into her own some day with flying colors. Rebecca can be found studying most of the time. She is an example which many of the seniors endeavored to follow (but almost got into trouble when they tried tucking away chocolates—her only weakness). She is indeed everybody’s friend.

Although Evelyn has been with us only two years, we found that we would like to have had her with us during our whole school life. She came to our aid many times in winning class honors in athletics. Madeline is one of ’31’s unassuming members. This doesn’t mean that she refused to participate in the social side of school days, for she always was ready to laugh when anything funny occurred. We all wish that every cloud that hovers over her head will be followed by sunshine. Whenever athletics are mentioned “Peg’s” name is surely heard in the conversation. She is an outstanding athlete and acknowledged as a star basketball player throughout the County. Her happy - go - lucky manner has endeared her to us. “Doc,” with his blonde curly hair, grey eyes and his humorous wise cracks has made an indelible imprint upon our friendship. He gives the impression that he believes in taking life as it comes, but behind it all he is serious and reliable. We are sure that George’s personality will radiate far beyond his classmates and acquaintances at R. H. S. Page Twelve

Our Helen is just one you can’t resist. Her sunny smile and sweet disposition have made her a favorite in the school. No matter where, when or with whom, she is always pleasant. Helen has held a place in Athletics that will be very hard to fill when she is gone. Allow us to introduce a talented member! “Ruffs” is both a poet and an artist. We always thought artists were temperamental, but Ruth ably demonstrates that you can be talented and cheerful too. “Teeny’s” nickname does not describe her in either statue or ability. She has “a heart as big as a stone” and has proved to be one of the best among our “hardworking” members. “Bobby” is a person who possesses a great deal of humor. You just can’t keep a straight face while Bobby is around. He is the perfect picture of what a well-dressed man should wear — including spats, too, ladies and gentlemen—and an awfully good-looking “Chevy.” Page Fourteen
