mm Volume VI PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL THE SCHOOL FOR CITIZENSHIP ROCKVILLE. MARYLAND Foreword EXACTLY two hundred years ago, George Washington, the father of mr country, was born. There is little we can do to show our appreciation of him. hut we have depicted here in our Rockkt pages characteristic of him. Let us take you through it. pointing out each page symbolistic of his character and compare them to certain events in our book. First we see the portrait of Washington as he was after accomplishing the work that Fate hail destined to him. Beneath it we find the inscription “Seniors. This is true, for haven’t the Seniors finished their work in high school'( But let’s pass over a little further—here we find a page upon which is written “Classes. This is the section which is written for all the underclassmen who have yet to do their work at Rockville High School. The painting. ‘‘The Spirit of '7( , ' is just as symbolistic, for in this we see the three gallant figures ever marching forward to win their light—so it is with our underclassmen— marching on, ever striving to attain their goal. Next we see the famous picture of “Washington Crossing the Delaware.” With all their strength and foreboding these unionized figures tight their way through all obstacles as they near their goal. Their uniform organization makes their battle easier and so it is with the clubs and student government here, always well organized. In turning over more pages we find lastly the page of Athletics. Characteristic of athletics, we see George Washington upon his stalwart white horse as he appeared at Trenton. In those pages, we have compared the life of our Montgomery County High School pupils with the phases of George Washington’s life. As a whole these activities seem very close to the life of Washington. It is our sincere desire that each student may fool the noble influence of the Father of Our Country and that in the years to come we may never forget his devotion to truth and honestv— a devotion that made him beloved by a great nation. t � I L. FLKTCIIKR SCHOTT Mr. Schott has been our principal for the past six years; lie has led vis through our difficulties, aiding us where aid once seemed impossible. His patient instruction in the past will urge us forward to finer things. His readiness to help and understand individual problems of the students has gained our respect and admiration. It is but a small part of his generous character. His genial understanding and kindly influence over the entire student body has made all the students look toward him as their inspiration to strive ever forward on this road of life.

We have followed her able leadership throughout our high school days and “Peggy is one whom we have been proud to follow. We wonder what R. 11.

There are so many things to say about “Mary Lib.” She’s wanted for everything and has a genuine interest in everyone. Her activities speak for what is left unsaid.

In conjugating the verb “to work,” “Kitty” always omits the first person singular, but not in the verb to “eat” especiall at Seetis.” Another thing—what is it?

I could hardly believe this was the year 1950, for this sight brought back the days of the old 1932 depression. As the person drew nearer, however. I was carried back even more to those dear old 1932 days, for upon close observance. I perceived this individual to lie none other than my old classmate, Joe Fisher. As I had not seen Rockville since my graduation days and had heard little or nothing of the destinies of my classmates, I cordially welcomed Fisher and after he had quenched his thirst and we had exchanged courtesies I began “pump- Although Joe’s hair had commenced to grey slightly, his old humor was still with him and In immediately began enlightening me about my former classmates. Velma Barr, lie stated, was now the proprietor of the largest and best beauty parlor in Clarksburg and that Mary Penn, Edith Stiles, and Ethel Connelly were her able assistants. Joe stated that Rockville, due mostly to the large businesses created by our ambitious class, had become a thriving metropolis. Majorie Chapman, as president of the 296th National Bank of Rockville, was running in close competition with Melvin Fink, president of the 297th. Walter Snapp and Walter Magruder were doing a thriving business in used cars with “Doc” Welsh as their chief mechanic in installing bum carburetors, worn-out spark plugs and the like in the cars. When 1 inquired of my old pal John Clagett, Fisher laughed in his old way and said Linwood Thompson had opened up a cafeteria and that due to their ability in culinary lines which they had in Home Economics at R. H. S„ Clagett and “Steamboat” Rack were now the most efficient chefs in the place. Ramona Pauley and “Kitty’’ Howes and Adene Maffctt were engaged as waitresses in this institution. Since he had mentioned “Mona Pauley, one must at once think of Natalie Hicks, and Fisher told me that she and “Blaekie Steam were leading a quiet and happy married life. 1 asked Joe if any of our classmates were now teaching at R. II. S. and lie told me that nearly the entire faculty was composed of them. Charles Ward had long since replaced Mr. Whiteford in the worthy instruction of Mathematics and now conducted classes with a stern hand. I learned that half the entire population of Rockville was speaking French due to the superb instruction of Audrey Guy. When I inquired as to athletics, I was told that due to Marshall Mason’s theoretical tutoring ing’’ him. I 45 I ill Physical Education, Rockville had won the recent state championships in both tiddle-de-winks and munibly-peg. Fisher said Mason stressed good posture at all times. Ruth Hoskinson was now instructing the girls' football and wrestling teams. I next learned that “Peg” Lohr and Margaret Dronenburg were now organizing a drive for the organization of the Citizenship Society in every American school and that Joe Peace, who bad become a fanatic on that subject, was assisting them greatly. 1 remarked that I bad heard of a Paris clothing company under the name of Himelright and had wondered if it might have any connection with our old pal “Woody” Himelright. Fisher said that “Woody” was president of the company which dealt in “Latest Parisienne creations for the feminine form.” Woody’s Rockville branch was doing a tremendous business with patronage from Melvina Henderson. Hinda Fraley, Betty Moulden and other debutantes. Lee Fisher. Hilda Starkey, Harriett Lewis and Gertrude Fox were engaged as models for filestore. When I inquired if Otis Beall had followed bis school day inclination for the dairy industry, 1 was informed that he was now the owner of one of the largest dairy corporations in the country and that Oda McGaha, following his longing for the West, was now a cowboy on one of Otis' big ranches. In the course of the next half-hour I learned a great deal. Shirley Prescott had turned a cold heart to all worldly interests and although she was now a tortoise-shelled-spectacled secretary she bad settled down into the career of an old maid, much to the disappointment of her many ardent admirers. The radio profession had gained two excellent performers in the form of “Crooning Joe” Steinburg and Emily Markland, who accompanied Steinburg on the piano. It had been reported that since Joe had started on bis career of groaning, all the institutions for insanity had noted a fifty percent increase in occupation. Joe Webster Price, newlv-eleeted chief of the H vattstown Fire Department, bad established a wonderful record, for on his way to a fire he had struck twelve pedestrians (killed eight, crippled four), four lamp poles, seven automobiles and eleven push carts, and after quenching the fire it was discovered that two pieces of furniture were uninjured, one wall had not been broken and the water had not drenched the parlor sofa. Joe bad narrowly escaped being one of the unfortunates in the path of Joe Webster’s “Flying Ford.” Fisher, who was enjoying this overture of our classmates as much as I. now drew forth a picture from his pocket, and offering it to me inquired if I recognized the figure I saw on it. 1 said 1 understood the costume of the person to be that of a minister but that I could not quite recognize the face, although it seemed familiar. Fisher snickered and then to my utter amazement told me that the quiet figure I beheld was none other than “Jim” Floyd who had donned the ecclesiastical robes and was now on a missionary expedition in the Hobo Islands. 1 received another shock when I was told that Ruth Lampton was his devoted follower. As Joe was quite tired from this long narration we stopped our discussion long enough to swallow our dinner pills and then when we had allowed our meal to digest, we once more continued our talk on the cool veranda. I so I I told Joe that I had heard that Mutt” Price was making a hit in Hollywood and asked if he knew anything about it. Fisher replied that “Mutt” was the latest “sheik” in the cinema community and that he had just received a large contract to star in Mickey Mouse films. I also learned that the two Norris sisters were now starring in the movies under the title of the “Hold Dust Twins.” As we sat in the darkness of the early evening the moon slowly arose from behind the distant hills and as it slowly traversed the starlit sky we sat engrossed in the fond remembrances of our school days and in this time I learned of the destinies of the remainder of my classmates. Lucy Knight, pursuing her school day literary talents, was now writing tense narratives for dime novels. Since it is not considered becoming for a judge of my standing to visit the follies, I was greatly surprised to learn that Amelia and Mary Farmer were now chorus girls in Gene Gooding’s vanities. Jack Jones, now a big cheese in the Noiseless Mouse Trap industry, was having the production of his affairs strenuously opposed by Grace Murray, Edith Koiner, Ruth Pratt and Ella Bennett, who had established homes for blind mice throughout the country. The above mentioned ladies’ main objection to Mr. Jones’ wares was that their noiseless operation «1 id not give the mice a fair chance. Charles Merry, who had risen to the rank of Commandant in the Marines, had invented a non-explosive gunpowder which would make warfare safe, hut when war went out of fashion due to this creation and Mr. Merry saw the hearts of the militarists of many countries broken because they were deprived of their favorite pastime, he grew so despondent over the outcome of his handiwork that he shut himself up to make an invention which would revolutionize warfare. Dorothy King, school day secretary of the Sportsmanship Brotherhood, was now endeavoring to establish a chapter of that organization in the Zulu cannibal village while accompanying Theresa Coleman on a gorilla hunt in Africa. Our air-minded schoolmate, Bill Reading, had recently met with a slight accident when his curls accidentally became entangled with a rotating propeller, hut 1 was glad to learn that he was rapidly recovering under the watchful care of Virginia Barnsley and Julia Offutt, two distinguished nurses in the hospital where Bill was being treated. (I had never thought Bill would try to curl his hair in such a manner!) I was greatly surprised when Fisher informed me that one of the teams competing in the present typing marathon was made up of none other than Helen Lowe and Josephine Keys, who were pounding the keys at such a terrific rate that asbestos ribbon and fireproof paper had been resorted to, to prevent combustion and the machines were constantly sprayed with water to keep them from melting. I 27 i I was sorry to be informed tlmt two of our class. Ruby Curtis and Edith Carey, had gone the way of all nerve wreckers. They were now engaged as telephone operators in Rockville and were energetically discovering new connections for wrong numbers. Incidentally a short time after they had received their positions as telephone operators, Ruby and Edith had founded a new Rockville newspaper called The Open 11 ire which somehow managed to collect the most intimate bits of news. Oertrude Clagett and Ella Linthicum. who were efficient listeners of the “Elderly Maids Chatter and Stitch Club,” had received the positions of chief editors of this paper. For some time after we had finished our review of our classmates, Fisher and I sat peacefully in the darkness, the happy memories of our school days bearing lightly on our minds. There was, however, one question which troubled me and after some consideration I asked Fisher bow be came to be in such a forlorn position as he now seemed. “Well,” he said at length, “It’s a long story. Some time ago ‘Sleepy’ Nichols patented some of his famous insomnia tablets but when they were lirst placed on the market they were not a very great success and “Sleepy, broken hearted, vanished from his friends' sight. A few months ago. however, the public realized the true value of his discovery and the pills sold in miraculous quantities and ‘Sleepy’ is now worth millions. As I was a Boy Scout in my boyhood days 1 have taken it upon myself to hunt Clarence down and have the pleasure of spilling the good news to him. I have hunted far and low so far and am pretty sure 1 will come upon him soon.” For some time we sat in darkness, but at last Fisher stated in a low voice, “You haven’t told me what your success is due to vet.” Slowly I stood up and smilingly drew myself to my full height of seven and one-half feet. Then, in a meek voice I humbly confessed the secret of my success, “I owe my success to the constant use of Leava-Shine Tooth Paste.” Irvin Brookk.

Student Cotineil has been able to accomplish its aim, this year, by the willingness of the student body to work with the Council. It has been able to secure more cooperation among the students through their own interest in it. This Council is elected entirely bv the students themselves, and by this means, each student has a voice in the government of the school. We are proud to think we have such an efficient student government and are glad to say that so many students are interested in taking part in its activities. The committees are appointed by the president with the assistance of Mr. Schott. Kacli committee is made up of students who have shown individual ambition to become a part of the student government. 142 i The Key Council President Margaret Lohr Vice-President Robert Beall Secretary ...........................................Mary E. Farmer Faculty Adviser .........................................Miss ITaitke « The Key Council is an organization formed from tin Citizenship Society. This organization was established to direct the affairs and business of the larger society. It seemed necessary to form this organization because of the increasing number of members in the Citizenship Society which made the meetings rather complicated. To l e a member of the Key Council, one is required to he a member of the Citizenship Society four-fifths of the preceding year. In time it is hoped that this organization will be the honor society of the school, allowing only members with a high average of scholarship. I 43 1 Citizenship Society i President....................................................Makoakkt Lohr Vice-President.............................................. Robert Beall Secretary .. -Mart Elizabeth Farmer Faculty Adviser. Miss Hacks The Citizenship Society has been steadily increasing in size from the time it was started hv our principal. Mr. Schott. I he Society had a memliership of about eight percent the first year. This year we have a ineinliership of approximately fifty percent of the school. The Society this year has been very active. At Christmas the Society adopted one of the Social Service Opportunities. Cards are sent regularly to pupils in the school who have been sick three or more days. Flowers or sprays were sent for funerals of alumni members. The most important aim of the Society is increasing the sense of responsibility of the students. Fader the supervision of our able adviser, Miss llauke, this Society lias become the most outstanding club in the school.

The usher committee takes charge of all plays, guides all visitors through the school, and serves on the gate at games. Those on this committee are: John Clagett. chairman. Shirley Prescott. Lucy Knight, Ruth Lampton, Lake Me-Crossin, Karl Becker, and Catherine Howes. [ 46 ] School Welfare Committees The School Welfare Committees are divided into three branches, the Sanitation, the Library, and the monitor committees. Kach branch has its own particular chairman and duties. The responsibility of the functioning of these committees lies directly upon the members and without their cooperation these committees would not be so efficient. The Sanitation Committee is held responsible for supervising the sanitary conditions around the school. It is their duty to watch the conditions of the pavements and halls, supervising the cleanliness of such places. It is the duty of the Library Committee to keep and care for any books belonging to the school, and to keep a record of them all. They also have charge of the exchanging of any books necessary to the students. The Monitor Committee is in cooperation with the Sanitation Committee. This branch has the entire supervision over the cafeteria at noon. Its main duty is to see that all students gather up their dishes, paper, etc., and dispose of them in the proper places. t it I Rockville High School Bank PresidesI................................................Virginia Barnsi.ey Vice-President...'...........................................Chaiu.es Merry Secretary......................................................Robert Beale Cash ier.................................................M Altjori e Chapman Head Bookkeeper.................................................

There have been many improvements and additions made in the hank. A checking deposit account was opened separately for teachers and scholars in high school. The other account opened is the Christmas Savings Club, which is divided into five different clubs, rating from twenty-five cents to five dollars per week. Additional equipment has been installed in a filing cabinet. The ban. has accumulated enough undivided profits so that it is able to assume its own expenses and the hank carries them in an account with general hank expenses. The deposits have ranged as high as: General deposits, $3,455.80; savings deposits. $666.23: checking deposits, $383.47: Christmas savings. $206.75; and Farmers’ Banking and Trust Company, $4,612.12. The surplus account is now equivalent to the capital stock account. t is 1 Sunshine and Shadows This year the Sunshine and Shadows has been under the supervision of two different advisers, Miss Wright and Miss Moore. Due to the sudden change in schedule, it was necessary that Miss Moore should take over the pa] er. We owe a lot to these two members of the faculty for such a successful year. Next we give due credit to the staff which has stuck ou through thick and thin in order to put across each issue. These students have been given the responsibility of publishing this paper and their consistency has made it possible. The patronage of the paper by the students, shown in the school, convinces us that the Sunshine and Shadows has really achieved its goal. Let’s hope that next year may Ik; just as successful!

It lias given several one-act plays for the school in which members of the club took part. One of the main aims of this society was to furnish the stage with suitable scenery. In the club a study has been made of the well-known actors, actresses, and the theatres of today. Due to the many one-act plays that were studied at different times, the club was able to sponsor only one big school play. This play, “I he W hole Town’s Talking,” was a big hit and with the careful direction of Miss Hall, our adviser, we secured remarkable results. - - Roman Forum President........ I icc-President..

The purpose of this club is to more fully acquaint the pupils with the inter relationship of Fnglish and Latin; to give a deeper insight into Roman civilization and its contribution to tin world, and a more thorough mastery of the Fnglish language. Programs have been alternated this term. Reports, pertaining to the old versus new civilization; Latin cross-word puzzles, games, mottoes, and contests identifying familiar Roman scenes have formed programs this year. One of our projects this term has been the presentation by the members of two Latin plays in the assembly, A Day Without Latin” and “In Callia.

The Annual Basketball Tournament was first introduced four years ago by Rockville High School. It is always held at the dose of the basket-ball season. The results of the tournament for this year was as follows: Damascus vs. Poolesville, 20-2 in favor of Damascus; Rockville vs. Bethesda, 21-14 in favor of Bethesda: Bethesda vs. Damascus, 2 -17 in favor of Bethesda. Bethesda was awarded the silver cup. “Be clean in mind and body” is the chief principle of this organization. This ideal has been substantially built up in our high school career and no doubt will be a guiding star in our future life. I 55 i r Soccer Team Although il II. S. (lid not produce a winning combination this year, they did have a hard fighting, sportsmanlike squad. The team began with practically all new players, having only (‘raver, Anders, Fisher, Steinberg, Butt, and doe Starkey from the 1930 eleven. However, through the efforts of Coaches Vogt and Norris, a fair team was developed from the squad, and a great deal of credit is due the boys for their willingness and pluck. When the call for candidates was issued the following responded: Goalies—Handy and Beall. Fullbacks—Fisher and Anders. Halfbacks—('raver, Pack, Payne, Bennett, Mason, and Beane. Forwards—Butt, Moulden. Steinberg, J. Starkey, Stearn and Leahy. The hoys played a six-game schedule with the following results: Rockville. 4; Sherwood, 4—at Rockville. Rockville, 4: Bethesda, 15—at Bethesda. Rockville. 4 : Blair, 5—at Blair. . ockville, 4 ; Sherwood, 8—at Sherwood, ockville, 'i ; Bethesda, ( at Rockville. Rockville, 0; Blair, (5—at Rockville. t S8 | Volley Ball Team Although the volley ball team of Rockville High School didn’t win the championship, that’s no sign that they didn't have a good team. Although our lost” column contained more numbers than the “won” column, the team really worked hard to get the championship for their school. On the team we find: Virginia Barnsley, right front; Harriet Lewis, center front; Ruth lloskinson, left front; Josephine Keys, left center line; Audrey Anders, center; .Nellie Mae Norris, right center line; Hannah Norris, back line; Marion l.ohr. hack line. Among the “subs” we find: Margaret Lolir, Lorraine Dronenhurg. Grace Baker, and Hilma Merry. Other schools commented on the wonderful sportsmanship that this team of Rockville girls displayed. And, after all. what does it matter so long as we have that reputation We owe a large share of our success to our coach, Miss (’ockburn. Many of the Seniors wish they could be here again next year to help her with her team. May we say that we wish for Miss ('ockburn a d her team next year all the success in the world i I 9 ] Boys1 Basket-ball The Black and Orange quint this season put up a long and hard fight and gave plentv of competition to the other county teams, although they were not successful. Practically all the players were newcomers which was the team’s greatest drawback. Credit should be given to Coach Vogt and the entire squad for their untiring endeavors. The varsity consisted of the following: Forwards: Joe Starkey, George Starkey, Beall, Moulden, Horace Hershberger, Howes. Guards: Fisher. Steinberg. ('enters: Darby, Brooke, Becket. The reserves were as follows: Gandy, Mason. Reading, Gooding, and Beane. I eo i Girls' Basket-ball Rockville 11i rh School girls set forth this year to win the basket-ball championship of the county. I nder the coaching of Mis- Cockburn, the girls tried hard to win. Hut as the squad looks back now and sees that it didn’t win this glory, it is at least proud of the sportsmanship shown in its games. The team was hard hit this year as it had none of the old varsity squad left. Hut in spite of this we have found that our old standby, Ruth Hoskinson, has made us a wonderful captain. We can all agree that Virginia Barnsley and Kdith Koiner are two of the best little guards in Montgomery County. Our team wouldn’t have been complete without our two little underclassmen, who were small in height hut stand high in our estimation as good basket-ball stars. They are none other than Audrev Anders and Helen Howard. Here’s hoping that they win the championship for Rockville next vear. Nellie Norris, Mildred Pavne, Ramona Pauley, Mildred Earp. and Hannah Norris worked as hard as anyone else on the team. Ruby Curtis and Marion l hr, as well as Hilma Merry, deserve a lot of credit, and Josephine Keys can certainly be called the “Handy Man” of the team : she started as a forward and ended as a side center. Harriet Lewis was also a “jaek-of-all-trades.” The girls wish Miss Cockburn and her “stars next year all the luck that can he obtained in basket-ball. We certainly hope that they will win the championship next year and for many years to come. I si I Lightweight Basket-ball Team For the third successive year the Lightweights were seen warming up in the gym at R.(|() o’clock in the morning under the direction of Mr. Norris. At 8:43. practice over, all rushed for the showers and made haste in order to be in their home rooms by 9:00. These bovs averaged 100 pounds and after having mastered the theory of basket-ball, met the following conditions before being allowed to play in interscholastie competition: (1) a passing grade in all subjects, (2) a mark of ‘C” in attitude and conduct, and, (3) being a good sportsman. ,, ,i sterling The season was highly successful. Out of 14 games played. 9 were won. Lari • Tj|e was the high scorer and “Booty” Wilson a close second and the inspiration of the tea ga er members of the squad were: L. Brewer, K. Sterling, W.
