I TIH IE E C C IE E T © IF 19 3 7 Published by the Students of RICHARD MONTGOMERY HIGH SCHOOL The School for Citizenship Rockville, Maryland RICHARD MONTGOMERY HIGH SCHOOL FOREWORD We are happy to present this, the eleventh volume of the ROCKET. Since the publication of our first yearbook many changes have occurred in our school. New equipment, new courses, new class rooms have been added to keep pace with changing conditions. We are proud of the progress achieved by Richard Montgomery High School and we should like to think that the ROCKET S growth has been commensurate with that of the school. Each year sees changes and improvements crowding in. This year marks an important innovation—our Journalism class is begun and courageously takes its initial venture in the field of yearbook publication. This is in accordance with the intensely practical nature of the courses and activities offered us here. If education may be thought of as growth,” then Richard Mont- gomery High School truly offers education in the best sense of the word—education conceived of as all-round development of body, mind and spirit, building not alone for the present, but for the future. In line with this thought, we give you here a record of 1936- 37, picturing for you the highlights of the year as we see them. MR. THOMAS C. DARBY We are deeply appreciative of the part played by the Mont- gomery County Board of Education in making possible our progressive school system. The president of the Board, Mr. Thomas C. Darby, has given unsparingly of his time in meeting educational problems. A gentleman of keen judgment and of sympathetic under- standing, he has won the love and admiration of all who know him. To him we dedicate the 1937 ROCKET. “Our American democracy of tomorrow depends upon our boys and girls of today. You are now creating the patterns for your manhood and womanhood. If these patterns are built well there will be little question about the high standards of citizenship and government you will demand and obtain for your country, your state, and your community. It will be necessary for you to obtain these high standards in your gov- ernment if our nation is to survive as a democracy.” Principal, L. FLETCHER SCHOTT THE FACULTY The entire student body owes the faculty a debt of gratitude. Through our high school career they have been most patient, kind and understanding in every situation. The English department has carefully taught the proper use of our language. The commercial, technical and vocational departments have enabled students to earn a livelihood after graduation. Very capable science and mathematics departments have revealed the inner- most workings of the scientific world and the solution to the most difficult problems. Because of very practical social studies courses the background of today's problems is known. The knowledge of foreign languages has promoted an understanding of the mode of living in other countries. Capable instruction in art and music has led to a wider development of talents and a broader cultural background. Physical education has built sound bodies. In all of these fields may the faculty continue their very successful work! [M I ✓ SALLIE G. ALDER Washington High School, 3: Glee Club. 4: Dramatic Club. 4; Personality Club. 4.

[16] I THE JOURNALISM CLASS The newest improvement to the Richard Montgomery curriculum, and one of the first of its kind in any Montgomery County School, is the addition of the study of journalism. The class is open to Seniors only and is under the direction of Miss Sherwood. Not only has the class published the SUNSHINE AND SHADOWS, THE TIDE, and the ROCKET, but it has made a thorough study of magazine and newspaper work. Opportunity has been given each member of the class to work on the school newspaper, the magazine and the yearbook. In no other class is there such an opportunity for initiative and individuality. In addition to the study of an excellent textbook on journalism, the class, with each Editor-in-Chief as leader, discusses and criticizes in detail the current issues of the school publications. The objective of the members is to attain, each month, a higher degree of excellence in the art of journalism. Because of the splendid work done by the publications staffs, they can claim membership in the George Washington Scholastic Press Association and have received a charter for membership in the Quill and Scroll, the highest inter- national honorary society for high school journalists. I 191 ART Any school which regards art and music as frills” and therefore omits them from its curriculum is depriving its students not only of a cultural back- ground but is denying them the all- round education which progressive schools emphasize. 1 he art classes at Richard Montgomery have been particu- larly successful and are regarded as one of the main stays of the school. Place cards for faculty dinners, scenery for school plays, posters for field day are just a few of the practical ways in which they work with other departments in the school. LIBRARY SCIENCE The nine-weeks course in library science is primarily training in self help. Topics which get special attention are the physical make-up, printed parts, classification, and arrangement of books in the library. Lessons are given in the use of the card catalog, dictionaries, reference books, periodicals and periodi- cal indexes, and in bibliography making. Throughout the course an attempt is made to build up literary appreciation. PUBLIC SPEAKING The primary objectives of public speaking are learning to express one’s thoughts with clearness and precision, and developing an appreciation of the speaker-audience situation. The course has been organized to give experience not only in speech making, but in parliamentary procedure and oral reading. The last week of class each student has an opportunity to present a talk over the loudspeaker in the auditorium. This lays particular stress on enunciation. Though the class will not, in all probability, yield any silver tongued orators, each student will have, un- doubtedly, more confidence and skill in expressing his thoughts clearly to a person or a group. READING In the ability to read lies the secret of success. Without the ability to read a person has a severe handicap to over- come. This class teaches the pupils to read more efficiently, stressing the im- portance of speed and comprehension. Charts are kept by the pupils and twice a week tests are given. These tests are used to show the progress in speed and comprehension. The end of the course shows a remarkable improvement. [20] — EXPLORATORY LANGUAGES The nine weeks exploratory language course attempts to teach young pupils to appreciate the difference in nationali- ties. languages and environment: to develop a sympathetic understanding of foreign peoples in order to absorb some- thing of the culture of other lands: and to aid those planning a more extensive language training to make a more in- telligent choice of the language or lang uages they may wish to study. To accomplish these ends the pupil is given a cursory acquaintance with the art. music, literature, outstanding facts in historical and geographical develop ment. the customs, and the languages of Italy and France. MUSIC The music classes are under the direc tion of Miss Miriam Rhoades. During the year, the students have taken up the study of folk music, light opera, the fun damentals of music, and the symphony orchestras. Of the latter they have learned to recognize all of the instru- ments by sight, sound and section. Over half of the class time has been spent in enjoyable part singing of light classica' music and song appropriate to th- season. HEALTH SCIENCE The Health Science classes study per sonal health during the first semester. Through this study they become well informed about the human body and its workings, with particular reference to the needs of daily living. In the latter half of the school year they study health in the home and community. The students make their own observ- ations, carry through a piece of work by themselves, and reach their own con- clusions. GENERAL MATHEMATICS The mathematics taught in the ninth grade is of a general algebraic nature. Just those algebraic principles that are useful in everyday mathematics are studied. The study of these principles shows the logic of mathematics and its usefulness in certain situations. The study of math develops many abilities. Those that are stressed in general mathematics are: (1) Reading for understanding. (2) Fundamental processes, (3) Understand- ing and use of mathematical termin ology, (4) Drawing logical conclusions .and then making reasonable estimations. [21] ENGLISH The ninth grade English class has been studying short stories, ballads, poetry, and grammar. An important part of the class work consists of mak- ing oral talks, which give valuable training in public speaking. As a special project the members of this group have been studying some of Shakespeare’s works and are planning a trip to the Folger Library in Washing- ton. CIVICS The Civics Club is a new experiment being introduced into county schools by the Civics Research Institute in Washington. There are only two or three schools using this new plan and Richard Montgomery has the honor of being one of these. This club has officers who conduct its business and a Constitution drawn up by its members. Parliamentary procedure is followed very strictly in this club. Instead of reading books to find out how the town business is carried on this club actually goes out and finds out for itself. It has interviewed several prominent citizens and has had several community leaders speak at its meetings. Each club member is responsible for presenting one project to the club. The projects are sent by the Civics Research Institute and are worked upon by com- mittees. JUNIOR BUSINESS The class in Junior Business is for the purpose of giving students a work- ing knowledge of the most used busi- ness papers or forms, how to use them and the purpose of each; the different forms of business organizations; and to give the students an introduction to office routine. Some of the forms stud- ied are: checks, drafts, telegrams, pur- chase orders and sales schedules. BIOLOGY The biology class furnishes an in- teresting study of things that will be of real value in living—things that can be applied to daily life, d ime is spent in careful drawing of different organisms. In order to gain actual facts on which to base opinions, the class experiments. Because biology is a study of living things, both animals and plant life are studied. The association of plants and animals is found through such a study. In connection with living things, a knowledge of disease is gained. [22] ENGLISH Sophomore English under the guid- ance of Mr. Williams prospers as the year develops. Their lessons include chiefly writing compositions and themes and reading. They also dramatize dif- ferent plays, some of which are given before assemblies. Their presentation of '‘Everyman” at the Christmas as- sembly was one of the most delightful of the year's programs. Grammar is an important project of this English class. The pupils learn some item in grammar, after which they make use of it in their writing. This gives the pupils the correct use of the language as a whole. AMERICAN HISTORY Our present social trends, our ideals, and our political institutions are the products of a long development. Amer- ica in the Making” is truly a thrilling topic for study. The American history students learn the background of our present Ameri- can civilization and gain an understand- ing of both its weaknesses and its strengths. They, as American citizens, learn of our past that they may build more wisely for the future. BOOKKEEPING The one year course in bookkeeping at Richard Montgomery High School is taught with the idea of giving the stu- dents knowledge of the best ways to keep records that they need, such as: check stubs, budgets, household ac- counts, and an elementary set of books. It is not taught with the idea of mak- ing bookkeepers out of the students, but with the idea of giving to them infor- mation that they can use in their own record keeping. PROBLEMS OF DEMOCRACY It is never possible for anyone to know everything that is taking place in the world today. But it is possible for one to have some knowledge of many things. That is the reason for a Prob- lems of Democracy class—to enable the students to have an idea of the current events of the day. This course is not compulsory, but it is most practical in that it teaches a student to gaze with unbiased eyes upon the world of today. One of the chief objectives of the course is to have pupils form atti- tudes, ideals and habits of thinking that will cause them to be open minded, critical in their thinking, and tolerant of the views of others. [23] SHOP The shop class has as its teachers. Mr. McClung and Mr. Oass. The boys in this class fill their periods by making articles such as: tables, lamps, stoo's, and book-ends, which are useful in the home. Many different materials are used in the construction of these articles. The members of the shop classes find that they can beguile many of their leisure moments by following the in- structions of Mr. McClung and Mr. Oass. putting their knowledge to prac- tical use. One group of boys is making the li- brary in the grammar school, while the counter in the principal's office is also the result of the boys' handiwork. VOCATIONAL HOME ECONOMICS This home economics class is an un- usual one in many respects. Three years are required to complete the cours?. These three years prepare one for such vocations as dressmaking, child care, home-nursing, cooking, waitress and several others. The home economics class is mainly for those girls not wish- ing to go to college and yet want prep aration for a practical vocation. It is necessary to have the three years of study to graduate with a vocational diploma. TYPING Every morning, on the stroke of nine, begins the cheerful tap-tapping which, decoded, means Efficient Secretaries. This class aims high in achieving ac- curacy. speed, neatness, skill in operat- ing, dependability and all the other traits which they hope will lead to a successful place in the business world. THE BANK One of the most helpful and unusual activities of our school is our Bank. It is operated entirely by a group of ca- pable seniors, supervised by a commer cial teacher. The bank is for the use of both stu- dents and teachers and serves as a branch of one of the local banks. It has a Board of Directors, sells stock, accepts both checking and savings accounts, and pays both interest on savings and dividends on stock. [24] I THE ROCKET STAFF The editorial staff of the ROCKET is composed of members from the senior journalism class. These persons are extremely competent in this field for they have covered a complete study of high school journalism, a course never before offered in a Montgomery County High School. Under the experienced direction of Faculty Adviser Frances Holmead, this staff has proven successful. The senior write-ups were composed by Frank Davis. Roland Banks and Jean E. McCurdy; the club objectives by Catherine Miles. Louisa Lewis and Charles Woodward. Classes, activities and other publications work were done by the entire staff, consisting of Helen Clark. Roland Banks, Edith Seek. Frank Davis, Catherine Miles. Mary Henderson. Louisa Lewis, Thomas Slater. Rose De Chene. Ellie Ramsdell. Bill Elkins. Ashton Garrett. Robert Forsberg, Marjorie Ellsworth, Audrey-Mae Brake. Jean McCurdy. Charles Woodward, Margaret Case and Eileen Jackson. The circulation staff contains several non-journalistic students. Those on the staff are: Porter Welsh. Thomas Slater. Clarence Payne, Helen England, Jean McCurdy, Mary Marguerite Wilson and Audrey-Mae Brake. The business staff, which handled the selling of advertisements, also consists of unrestricted students. It is headed by Manager Roland Banks and is supported by Edwin Brown. Dorothy Monday, Ellen Cronise and Leroy Bennett. The ROCKET Staff has been unusually fortunate in obtaining as its illus- trator Rowland Mansfield, whose ability is outstanding. ROLAND BANKS Business Manager THE RICHARD MONTGOMERY JUNIOR REPUBLIC THE CABINET Heads of the various departments in the executive branch of the govern- ment are the members of the President's Cabinet. Meetings are held once or twice a month for general discussions of school problems. The cabinet are required to give every half semester a written report of their activities during that time. As representatives of all the activities in the school the cabinet offi- cials are members of the Montgomery County Inter-High School Student Council. Safety Secretary Helen England has carried on a strenuous campaign to awaken the students to the realizition of the importance of observing safety laws of the school, city, county, state and nation. Secretary of Citizenship. William Elkins has gained respect for the school patrol and in so doing has instilled into the students of the school a respect for law and order. THE CABINET MEETS In past years the job of arranging for assemblies has rested squarely with a faculty member This year this arduous task has befallen Hilda Kraft. Secre- tary of Social Personality and she has proven herself worthy of the job. The secretary must also assist in obtaining suitable clubs for the school. To Jean McCurdy went the supervision of Richard Montgomery's numer- ous publications. A natural journalist herself. Jean was well fitted for seeing that the publications continued their steady improvement. A higher type of sportsmanship, which he himself exemplified, was the result of the efforts of Charles Woodward, Secretary of Sportsmanship. Not only greater courtesy on the athletic court, but on the sidelines as well, greeted visiting teams at Rockville. Serving first as Attorney General, Edwin Brown became Secretary ot Justice when the former position was abolished. In the new capacity it was his duty to investigate the cases before they were tried and ascertain that justice was rendered. The least conspicuous and yet perhaps the most laborious position has been occupied by Dorothy Monday and her duties of assisting School Treasurer Edna Hauke have been quietly and efficiently effected. [28] THE CONGRESS The legislation enacted by this session of Congress is notable for its high quality rather than its great quantity. Few bills have been passed, but these few have been of great significance. Although a large majority of its members were inexperienced, Congress worked efficiently under the leadership of the Vice- President of the Junior Republic. Marguerite Sudduth in the Senate and Speaker Ashton Garrett in the House of Representatives. JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS Montgomery Calvert Carroll Key Baltimore Clerk SENATE Eileen Jackson.

The court is conducted on the basis of a modern Juvenile Court. This type of a court is the modernized trend of today. Under this advanced system the so-called lawyers and office of attorney-general are abolished. There are no pleas and arguments: no Bible is used: and the hearings are held in private. In place of the attorney-general, the office of secretary of justice is created. The duty of the secretary is to make as THE SCHOOL COURT HEARS A CASE much investigation as possible so that absolute justice is given to all parties. He expresses no decision either for or against the Republic. The decision is rendered by the judges. The court has tried over two hundred cases. Sessions have been held twice every week and on many occasions court has met as often as three and four times a week to keep abreast of its work. The court docket has continu- ously been kept in order. The judicial department has made a greater effort to see that the sentences have been carried out than ever before in the court's history. The most notable achievement of the court this year is the complete codification of the school laws. [301 THE PATROL COMPANY The Patrol Company has been the most conscientious and active govern- mental body of the Junior Republic. Under the leadership of Robert Pumphrey and Clements Oden, co-captains, the '‘patrol has marched ahead as it has in previous years. The development of a broadminded and dutiful attitude on the part of the patrolmen has contributed to the success of the patrol company this year. We hope that the junior members of this organization will continue to progress. The following arc the names of the patrolmen and their respective positions: THE PATROL COMPANY Captains Robert Pumphrey, Clements Oden First Lieutenant Peter Jackson Second Lieutenant Bertram Brosius Sergeants ...... Judson Beavers. Richard Schwartzbeck Privates George Lechlider Fred Ricketts Julius Martz Worley Cheeks Knowlton Burgee Benny Hamilton William Holland John Carter Since only one of the members of the company will be graduated this year, there will be a well-equipped, smoothly-trained corps to take over the work of the coming year. Mr. Abell Norris continued as adviser of the company. THE SAFETY PATROL Captain Milton Clogg First Lieutenant Edward Cashell Second Lieutenant Davis Schwartzbeck Sergeant William Wcigcr Corporals Paul Ward, Wallace Shoemaker, Bobbie Erwin George Brigham Roland Beal Robert Fisher Edgar Poole James Quick James Kemp Miller Day James Warfield Privates George Foster Tom Berry Alfred Dwyer Norman Murphy James Serk James Williams William Haynes Harry Burdette Harold Carlin THE SAFETY PATROL The Safety Patrol, a division of the Safety Council, under the able leader- ship of Captain Milton Clogg, has been very efficient in guiding and directing the students across the highways. Regardless of the weather, these patrolmen have always been on the job. It can be truly said, that if every student government officer was as faithful in his work as the Safety Patrolmen are, there would be a more perfect gov- ernment. With considerable drilling, the patrolmen made a good showing in repre- senting Richard Montgomery in the School Boy Parade, sponsored by the American Automobile Association. THE SAFETY COUNCIL The Safety Council was under the supervision of Arthur Woodward, Sec- retary of Safety, for about two months at the beginning of this year. In November, a change was made in the school court which made Helen England the Secretary of Safety and gave her position as Associate Justice to Ariliui Woodward. Several members were added to the council at this time, making Inez Fraley, Rowland Mansfield. James Elder, Catherine Stiles, Edna Anders. Jean Leighton, Robert Stiles, and Billy Talbott members of the Safety Group. The work of the Safety Department is considered one of the most impor- tant features of the school. It endeavors to make the students safety conscious at home as well as in school. The Council carries on a definite program which includes a semi-monthly THE SAFETY COUNCIL survey of the school, and regular poster displays on various bulletin boards. Each school publication has a safety article. The council has also held several assemblies of an educational nature for the student body. One of the very popular plans sponsored by the Department of Safety was a contest in which the best themes on Safety were selected from each class. All students of both senior and junior high participated and the themes were judged by the teachers of the English Department. Thorndyke dictionaries were awarded the winners in each class. I he winners were as follows: Senior Class Junior Class .. Sophomore Class Ninth Grade Eighth Grade Seventh Grade Frank I. Davis, Jr. Mary Marguerite Wilson Jack Clark .......Eleanor Leighton Betty Unglesbee Roberta Burdette THE CITIZENSHIP COUNCILS THE SENIOR CITIZENSHIP COUNCIL SENIOR HIGH President .........................Charles Woodward. Jr. Vice-President Roland Banks. Jr. Secretary ..........................................Hilda Kraft Adviser Mrs. Blew The present Citizenship Council was organized eleven years ago by Prin cipal L. Fletcher Schott, together with the consent of the faculty, under the name of the Citizenship Club. Since then. Miss A. T. Murphy, Miss Irene Schwartz. Miss Edna E. Hauke, and Mrs. Forest Blew have acted as its ad- visers. Later, it was called the Citizenship Society. A change became necessary because of the increased membership of the Society. Assuming the title of the Key Council of the Citizenship Society, it admitted only the students who possessed a high scholastic record. Each year the standards have been with emphasis centered on the improvement of scholastic standing and citizenship in the school. In the Junior High, a similar honor society, with corresponding objectives, has been established under the supervision of Mrs. Gilmore. The officers of the Junior High Citizenship Council are: President Margaret Williams Secretary................................ Hanna Burdette THE JUNIOR CITIZENSHIP COUNCIL SPORTSMANSHIP BROTHERHOOD OFFICERS President Roland Banks. Jr. Vice-President Charles Woodward, Jr. Secretary-Treasurer Marguerite Sudduth Clerk Nancy Swecker Nineteen hundred and thirty-seven marks the reorganization of the Sports- manship Brotherhood. The organization has long been Richard Montgomery's outstanding honorary society. It is the oldest organization of its kind in the school. It has done much to promote sportsmanship throughout the county by sponsoring the Annual Sportsmanship Tournament. The brotherhood by means of the tournament has contributed funds to the Athletic Department and also the the Boys' Club, a new and worthy organization. THE SPORTSMANSHIP BROTHERHOOD I his year the brotherhood drew up a new Constitution setting forth the objectives and qualifications of the organization. Under the Constitution to be eligible for membership one must have at least three major and two minor points, and also have a clear court record. Each member failing to live up to the codes of the brotherhood is quietly dropped by the membership committee. T he standing committees are as follows: I he Publicity Committee is responsible for the distribution of posters on the bulletin boards and for any other publications. I he Membership Committee is the most important of the standing com- mittees. Its duty is to determine the membership of the organization. I he Program Committee is responsible for programs sponsored by the brotherhood at assemblies. Numerous other committees have been appointed from time to time for investigations and other undertakings of the organization. Besides sponsoring two major tournaments of the season, namely, the basketball and table tennis, the Sportsmanship Brotherhood has sponsored several courtesy drives and has been instrumental in fixing the tennis courts. May the Sportsmanship Brotherhood continue throughout the years to be the organ for the promotion of good sportsmanship. r 35 ] DRAMATICS The dramatic program of the current year started with the Christmas Assembly on December 16th. at which time 2A English presented the morality, EVERYMAN, before an altar adorned with candles whose light illuminated a reredos of figures posed before the manger. Angels in adoration guarded the spirit of the festival. One week later a cast of twelve, with the permission of Longmans. Green and Company, laughed their way through THE WHOLE TOWN'S 1 ALK- ING. Roland Banks as Harry Simmons, contrives to marry his daughter, Eileen Jackson, to his junior partner in business, Charles Nicewarner. He's such a blank,” says Mrs. Simmons (Ellic Ramsdell), that every time he comes in it seems that someone has gone out.” Mr. Simmons has a theory that every woman wants the man that every other woman wants and conceives the plan of inventing a few love affairs for the unromantic Chester. Letty Lythe, a CAST OF THE WHOLE TOWN'S TALKING glamorous movie star, seems to offer Chester a wonderful opportunity so Henry permits the story to leak out that Chester has had an affair. The whole town talks Chester into such popularity that girls fall right and left. In the midst of his glory, Letty, played by Helen Clark, arrives in town, accompanied by William Elkins, her fiance, who is a former prize-fighter. Chester weathers the storm to win Ethel at the final curtain. The supporting cast was com- posed of Bertram Brosius. Arlene Grow, Catherine Miles. Woodrow Kraft. Margaret Case, and Jean McCurdy. The Club next presented THE MOUNTAIN TRAGEDY as a benefit to further local Red Cross contributions in behalf of the flooded area of the middle West. The cast won unstinted praise for professional performances at Montgomery-Blair and before the local Parent-Teachers. Lois Bragg. Marvel Williams. John Seybold, Dick French and Gordon Conklin gave a splendid interpretation of this one-act play. Owen Davis' play ICEBOUND, was chosen to close the season. The dress rehearsal was given at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington on April 24 and the school production on April 30. It is not the New England winter out- side the windows of the Jordan parlor that is truly icebound.” but the per- sonalities of the people in the play. The first act finds the members of the Jordan family waiti tg in the parlor while up-stairs their mother is dying, and each of her selfish children is hoping for the major share of the money. When [36] the will is read, it is Jane Crosby, a distant relative and almost a servant in the house, who is the beneficiary. The Jordans, one and all, are furious. Jane con- siders that she holds the money in trust and the final act tells how she shames the small-mindedness of the family and reforms Ben, the black sheep of the family, by making him her servant until he has learned of someone other than himself. The curtain closes upon the romantic plans of Jane and Ben, who wi|l seek happiness together. The star roles of Ben Jordan and Jane Crosby were doubly cast, John Seybold and William Elkins interpreting the male leads CAST OF ICEBOUND opposite the playing of Lois Bragg and Jean McCurdy. The other characters were as follows: Henry Jordan (Roland Banks, Gordon Conklin): Emma, his wife, Bertha Orme: Nettie, her daughter by a former marriage. Molly Thompson, Mary Maddox): Sadie Fellows, Marvel Williams: Orin, her son. Russell Davis: Ella Jordan (Mary Margaret Wilson, Ellen Cronise): Judge Bradford. Clyde Milor: Hannah. Helen England: Jim Jay, George Viers: Dr. Curtis, Jack Clark. The plays were under the direction of Leland J. Williams of the English Department. [37] THE DEBATES As a member of the Montgomery County Debate League the Richard Montgomery debate teams participated in six debates with Bethesda and Blair High Schools. The topic debated was—Resolved: That all electric utilities be governmentally owned and operated. The members of the two teams were as follows: AFFIRMATIVE Frank Davis Jean Parent Edwin Brown NEGATIVE Stuart Nicewarner Roland Banks Gordon Conklin THE DEBATING TEAM The following debates were scheduled in the league: AFFIRMATIVE Richard Montgomery Richard Montgomery Montgomery Blair Bethesda NEGATIVE Bethesda Montgomery Blair Richard Montgomery Richard Montgomery DATE February 19 February 23 February 5 February 9 On March 23 the two Richard Montgomery teams met each other for the first time before a meeting of the Olney and Somerset 4-H Clubs. The negative team was declared winner. For the first time the school was invited to debate with George Washington University Freshman Girls Debate Team. The debate was held at Rockville on April 13. The Montgomery debaters maintained the negative side of the question previously used. The members of the team were Gordon Conklin. Roland Banks, and Frank Davis. In all the debates except the one with George Washington, the Modified Oregon Plan was used.

After computing their final standing on the basis of points scored, as well as games won, the Orange Tides found themselves on the fifty per cent line. Charlie Woodward contributed the majority of the twenty odd points rung up by the local team during the season. Butt. Slater. Broschart and Day completed the flashy though inconsistent line. Fuzzy” Ray. playing his first year, did much to keep the half-back line, composed of Ray, Cleveland, and Welsh, moving. McGaha, and Lechlider as full-backs and Garrett in the goal did much to form a good defensive team. Alderson, Clark, Hill. Jensen. Milor, and B. Slater came through for the regulars as substitutes. THE SOCCER TEAM The season was marked by two upsets; first, the 2-1 defeat at the hands of the Poolesville eleven. This was the first time in many years that the upper- county team has walked away from Rockville with laurels. The second upset was a victory for Richard Montgomery over Montgomery Blair. The Silver Spring squad sported a much heavier team, but it was trounced by Coach Vogt’s aggregation, 4-0. The season’s results were put in the score books as follows: Mount Rainier........ 2 Richard Montgomery 0 Damascus 0 Richard Montgomery . 2 Poolesville.. 2 Richard Montgomery 1 Sherwood 6 Richard Montgomery 2 Montgomery Blair 0 Richard Montgomery. 4 Poolesville.......... 1 Richard Montgomery 4 Damascus ............ 2 Richard Montgomery 4 Gaithersburg 8 Richard Montgomery 4 SENIOR BOYS BASKETBALL The Orange Tide ended its 1936-37 season by losing a thriller to Sher- wood High in the finals of the Ninth Annual Sportsmanship Basketball Tourna- ment. Paced by Artie Woodward, who scored 15 points, the Richard Montgomery representatives surprised critics by stopping Montgomery Blair, 21-12, in the first round of the event. The quint played an extensive twenty-eight game schedule and came out with an even break—winning 14 and losing the like number. Sickness and injuries seemed to have plagued the team to a great extent, and quite a few decisions were dropped probably for this reason. The season s playing of the team was very inconsistent. On one occassion it would play a brand of basketball of which any team would be proud but SENIOR BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM the next day it would slip into a slump and go down to defeat before a team which it had previously claimed as a victim.

[58] SENIOR GIRLS BASKETBALL Making their debut in the Ninth Annual Sportsmanship Tournament, the feminine Orange Tides concluded a highly successful season on March 4th. The Rocketts, although they experienced a belated mid-season’' slump, played exceptional basketball. Adopting the variation of the game—a variation which has become increasingly popular this year—the team combined accuracy and good timing to set a precedent for next year's team. The excellence of the regular guards played an effective part in the team's success. Hilda Kraft, Hilda Gray, and Mildred Hutchinson filled the guards' berths very efficiently. Equally deserving of praise are the three forwards, Jessie Peddicord. Marguerite Sudduth, and Edna Anders. The aforementioned six constituted the regular varsity and were assisted by substitutes Margaret SENIOR GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM Case, Evelyn Orme.

Throughout the season the local team was paced by the high scoring of Tommy Ray, Worley Cheeks and Norman Anders. Ray led the pack by scoring more than one third of all the points wrung up by the entire team. Rounding out the five comprising the regular quint were Ike Grossman and Dick Schwartzbeck who displayed outstanding ability as defensive men. Bob Stiles, who played the role of general utility man, received a Sportsmanship Brotherhood Honor Medal along with the beforementioned five. The reserve bench was full of anxious boys, eager to take the place of the JUNIOR BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM regulars when their chance came, but at the same time sitting patiently when it was necessary for the regulars to be in there for victory to come their way.

JUNIOR GIRLS BASKETBALL 1 aking note of the record of the Junior High girls basketball team for the past season, we find this little group has won over one half of the games which they have played. Getting off to a late start the team was defeated twice in succession by the girls from Leland Junior High. However, undaunted by these two defeats they won four of the five games which followed. Throughout the season the team displayed fine sportsmanship. The team was coached by Katherine Bullion, who has proved an attentive and cooperative coach, and was managed by Bebe Howard. The team has proven that it will be excellent material for future squads. 1'he first team was composed of Beverly Martin, Evelyn Orme, and Signa Schottroff as forwards, with Martha Ann Merry, Rose Marie Wolcott and Catherine Hines as guards. JUNIOR GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM The Junior basketeers were aided by the following substitutes: Ella Mae Benson, Katherine Cleveland. Juanita Day, Maragaret Williams. Barbara Wolcott and Doris Mae Stull.

The ball cut the plate and set a high standard for the Orange Tide nine to follow throughout the season. Handling the slab assignments along with Woodward were Dick Cleveland, Norman McGaha, Bob Slater, Ashton Garrett, and Alvin Watkins. These hurlers were flanked by an infield made up of four players who had had at least one season's experience on the diamond. Butt, behind the bat. handled the pitchers while Price at first, Tom Slater at second, Charley Wood- ward at short stop and Day holding down third sack formed an air-tight infield. The outfield was formed more of rookies, although they played a brand of ball worthy of any veteran. RICHARD MONTGOMERY'S TENNIS TEAM TENNIS The Richard Montgomery 1936-37 racqueteers” hope to capture the banner of victory.
