Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1938 volume:

THE 19 3 8 ROCKET I Ill I 14 I F I I I 19 3 8 Published by the Students of Richard Montgomery High School “The School for Citizenship’’ Accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Rockville, Maryland RICHARD MONTGOMERY HIGH SCHOOL FOREWORD Believing as we do that Richard Montgomery High School embodies in its many activities the fine qualities which make for the highest type of democracy and citizenship: and believing that in the years to come, this year will stand out as unique in the history of our school for its inspiration and achievements, we have chosen LEADERSHIP as the theme for the twelfth volume of the Rocket of 19f7-f8. We have watched this spirit of leadership develop day by day and have been proud to note that the twin spirits of sportsmanship and cooperation also have been fostered. We believe the pages of this yearbook truly record the efforts, aspirations and accomplishments of our school. We have enjoyed working together in our Citizenship Council, our Student Clubs, our Student Government and our Sportsmanship Brotherhood. This book is presented to the members of our school trusting that it will be a treasured reminder of the smiles and tears, the hopes, the fears, and the valued friendships which we have shared during our years together. EDNA ELIZABETH HAUKE To Miss Hauke we dedicate the 1938 Rocket with the sincerest appreciation of the fine cooperation which she has shown toward the students and the school. Because of her capable and willing attitude she is credited with having accomplished much. Besides teaching Biology and Health Science she holds the position of Assistant Principal of Richard Montgomery. She is talented in the field of art and this comprises her hobby. Ever patient and discreet, she is a kind and gracious friend of all. It is with much pride that we look upon Miss Hauke as our teacher and our friend. L. FLETCHER SCHOTT. B.S., M.A. The students of Richard Montgomery owe their capable Principal. L. Fletcher Schott, a debt of gratitude. In all his twelve years of leadership at this school, he has not only made a good name for the school, but has improved it to the extent that it stands out among the public schools of the nation. Ever patient, understanding, and sympathetic. Mr. Schott has won the respect and admiration of all the students who know him. He is a gentleman of keen judgment, kind and tolerant in every situation which comes before him. To him. L. Fletcher Schott, the Rocket wishes great success in continuing his fine work as Principal of this school. THE FACULTY First row-—Mr. Norris. Mrs. Prince. Miss Sherwood. Miss Cockburn, Miss Canada.

THE FACULTY We feel that under the heading “The Faculty should come more than a mere listing of names and degrees. To these teachers, on behalf of the student body, the Rocket wishes to pay a tribute. Without their vision, their idealism, and their leadership Richard Montgomery High School could not have become the outstanding institution it is today. It is interesting to note that six of our faculty have their Master's Degrees. Eighty per cent have had four or more years of teaching experience. All in all. we feel that our faculty are especially well qualified for the work they do, but far more important than their degrees or their years of experience is the stimulating guidance they have given the student body.

Secretary ROCKET STAFF The Rocket Staff has striven to produce a yearbook which is worthy of the school it represents. We feel that no one person should dominate the annual and therefore have employed many students in the editing of the Rocket. Molly Thompson. Secretary of Publications, has given general supervision to the work. Senior write-ups were obtained by Helen England. Arthur Woodward was the sport scribe. The student government work was directed by Mary Marguerite Wilson and Jean Parent. The various activities were supervised by Bebe Howard. Ann Ramsdell was chairman of the group working on classes. The art work was done by Rowland Mansfield. Althea Karn. Mary Marguerite Wilson, and Dorothy Bohannon. Jack Clark and Stuart Nicewarner were in charge of group pictures and snapshots. Circulation work was done by Helen England. Preston Weaver, and Molly Thompson. Ads were secured by Althea Karn, Freda Katz, Dorothy Monday, and Nelle Broome. Other members of the staff were: Jacqueline Alden, Jane Ramsdell. Rebecca Myers, Esther Hines, and Edwin Brown. Hoping we have reached our goal in the production of this annual, we give to you the Rocket of 1938.

Where did you get your eyes so blue?” SIXTEEN A MORNING AT SCHOOL A week-end's many pleasures Have gone into the past. And Monday morning's here again With assignments coming fast. First physics with its theories And experiments galore: Then French class with its verbs and nouns And sentences and more Than anyone could ever learn and Then there’s homework too Of newly learned constructions Just Oh! so much to do. But when that class is over There's another one to start It's English now to teach us How to speak with fluent art. And when our grammar's over There's a weekly theme to do. Next comes our spelling lesson Then a book report or two. Our teacher says. “Now concentrate Remember our objective Or there’ll be a check beside your name And that will be effective.’’ But as she speaks the lunch bell rings Oh. what a welcome sound. And each one rushes toward the door For fun they all ate bound: But as they leave the teacher sighs She's ready to give in: For teaching is a trying job Especially 'mid such din. But then she smiles discreetly For she recalls the day When she was but a girl in school And acted just that way. —MARY MARGUERITE WILSON CLASSES The movement toward integrating the learning experiences of pupils is one of the most significant educational developments of our generation. It represents a reaction against the highly specialized and compartmentalized programs of the traditional high school. The major purpose of an integrated program is to provide a well-balanced series of educational experiences which will facilitate the integration of students’ personalities and will orient them more effectively in the world in which they live. In such a program the materials of instruction are drawn from any sources which give promise of contributing to the growth and development of pupils. Recognition of the need for better integrated individuals, resulted this year in a program of education in Richard Montgomery High School of such activities in the seventh and eighth grades of the Junior High School. This has proven to be an interesting and enlightening experiment to both teachers and pupils. Its success warrants retention of this improved method of education in the High School next year. The pictures on the following pages show a number of the classes. We can truthfully say that our school has wisely heeded Pope’s advice: Be not the first by whom the new is tried, nor yet the last to lay the old aside.” EIGHTEEN THE BANK The high school is very proud of its bank and each member of the banking staff considers it an honor to be allowed to work in the bank. The work is both business-like and interesting and they feel that they gain much valuable experience, as well as information, from having the responsibility of looking after the accounts and the money that is entrusted to them. AUTO DRIVING The Auto Driving class is newly formed this year. The five units included in this course are designed to teach all members of the class not only to drive, but how to promote safety on the highways. The American Automobile Association has been kind enough to lend the class a dual-control car for several months to serve the purpose of instructing people who wish to obtain licenses and who already drive, but need additional practice. PROBLEMS OF DEMOCRACY Among the many interesting classes of the seniors, is the Problems of Democracy class. The students in it study national and international events. Their material is obtained from the daily newspapers, the Scholastic Magazine. and all current publications. The objectives of the course are to acquaint the students with problems they should be interested in and ones with which they will come into contact: to have the pupils understand problems and how to attempt to analyze them: to have students form a habit of expressing positive opinions: to have pupils form attitudes and habits of thinking rhar will cause them to be open-minded, critical in their thinking. and tolerant of the views of others: to help students meet the demands of this constantly changing world. INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION This year in the vocational shop the boys have made several group projects. Drawing tables for the mechanical drawing class and storage cabinets for the cafeteria were the chief projects. They have made some individual projects and in the metal department have worked out some artistic designs. In mechanical drawing they worked on orthographic projection. lettering, and project sketching. Along with their shop work they studied applied mathematics and science. Motion pictures were presented to the class to enrich the course content and present a better picture of the industries. NINETEEN 9t TYPING As beginners in typing, this class has achieved a good foundation with which to continue their secretarial work. The course has proven invaluable to them in typing English. History, and Shop notebooks, reports, and outlines. They expect it to become even more valuable in their work next year and after they complete their high school course. BOOKKEEPING Even though it's a struggle to learn the art of neat figures and red lines, the bookkeeping class feels it has accomplished much. They have learned how to keep records of their own finances and learned bookkeeping that will be helpful in the future. Oh! you income taxes! The class is keeping books for the Stationery Corner and find this good, practical experience. A high average in this class entitles a student to consideration as a member of the banking staff. AMERICAN HISTORY I he old saying. ' History repeats itself.” again proves authentic when we take into consideration the work of the American History class of Richard Montgomery. Under the guidance of Mrs. Vogt, this class has been made interesting as well as educational, which means a great deal. These students have delved deep into the hidden significance of the assigned topics. Through this system, a more enjoyable education is procured. What could be more beneficial to our future than reading the years ahead, parting the mist of obscurity, to predict our futures' This is what Mrs. Vogt and her American History class have done. They have analyzed up to this modern day this eternal power which is given to history, and. in doing so. have peered into the future, for History repeats itself.” HOME ECONOMICS The Senior High Home Economics classes have had an active and pleasant year. The girls majoring in Home Economics have studied meal service, having a very nice dinner at the close of the unit. Most of the costumes for the operetta were made by them and each girl will have made a dress for herself by the end of the year. These girls have been prepared to buy for the home by a study of consumer buying. The general Home Economics group has specialized in clothing construction and made some attractive garments. Both groups combined to give a successful tea in December for the mothers of all Home Economics girls. This will be an annual affair which it is hoped will grow each year and bring more mothers and daughters together. TWENTY JOURNALISM An educational institution of dual purpose, the 19 7- 8 Journalism class, under the supervision of Miss Sherwood, has greatly promoted the standards of Richard Montgomery publications. The ambitions of this class have been: first, to present better, more educational and interesting publications to the student body of the school: second, to expand and advance the literary scope of our students. In both resolutions, the Journalism class has met with success. The educational and literary standards of the Sunshine and Shadows and of the Tide have been raised, as well as their qualities. Through the preparation of these editions, valuable journalistic experience has been gained by many students. What more could be desired, than achievement of worthy goals, and success? WORLD HISTORY The Sophomore history class studies “World History.'' starting back as far as the Egyptian civilization, the first known, and coming up to modern time. Discussions, speeches, and special projects make the class most interesting. At the end of each large topic, some student leads the discussion, covering the high lights of that topic. The bulletin board is kept full of drawings and pictures. Often current news from the radio or newspaper is used to illustrate the points being discussed. BIOLOGY Biology is one of the many subjects that can be used in everyday life. It is a study of life and its beginning. In this class, one learns many facts regarding living organisms and proves them by actual experiments. During this study, careful illustrations are prepared. These illustrations range from simple organisms to the more complex ones. The aid of the microscope is appreciated in drawing those things too small to be seen by the naked eye. With such a knowledge of life, individuals should be able to combat numerous diseases and prepare a better environment in which to live. CHORAL SPEAKING Choral Speaking is the art of speaking in a group, painting a picture with words. For a beginning a group uses jingles. The purpose of these jingles is to perfect pronunciation, diction and to get the ideas of color or stressing certain parts of a poem. As time passes more difficult lyrics and ballads arc developed. In presenting either of these the group is divided into small groups of light and dark voices of girls and boys. I his is done to give the effect of musical instruments. wind, rain or thunder. The lyrics, usually Psalms, have been given for a service at the Presbyterian Church of Rockville, while jingles, lyrics and ballads have been given before teachers and students of Sherwood High School. English teachers of Montgomery County, and in school assemblies. TWENTY-ONE K CIVICS CLUB Richard Montgomery is the only school in Montgomery County that has a Civics Club, although it is a nation-wide club. Six booklets on civic affairs are sent from the Civics Research Institute. The club is divided into different committees and each member has a report to give to the class from each booklet. The information is found by interviewing some of the prominent people in Rockville. Some of the people from the community have spoken to the class on different affairs. Parliamentary procedure is used, and at the beginning of each booklet, new officers are elected. This gives each member an opportunity to see exactly how parliamentary procedure works. GENERAL SCIENCE The general science class opened the year with a study of astronomy: following that wea:her was studied. Later they studied climate, air pressure, water, and the six simple machines. They then worked with the magnet and are now finishing up a unit on electricity. All of these units were made interesting by class discussions, talks on the different subjects, and the many interesting experiments performed. There were models of most of the machines and they benefited the class by showing the principles which they were studying. The students are looking forward to the interesting study of heat, sound, light, and living hings. rea:ing Reading is essential to the civilization of this modern world. This class is organized to show the value of reading and to produce better readers. First the various handicaps are found and methods are worked out through which to overcome them. Then emphasis is placed upon comprehension. There are various ways to record the advancement in this which gives the teacher and the pupil a chance to see what progress is being made. Later speed is the chief object. Speed tests arc given and a record is kc pr of the improvement made from week to week. The results from this class prove h’lpful to each studenr in his entire course of study. MUSIC Since September the eighth grade has accomplished quite a lot in music. Aside from singing innumerable songs they learned to recognize certain records and to know the composers. They learned the instruments of the symphony orchestra by name and sight. In preparation for the operetta they turned to the chorus songs, which proved both entertaining and helpful to their musical education. TWENTY-TWO ART In the art room several eighth grade boys and girls are making tiny model houses, to a scale of one-fourth inch to one foot, working with fascinated interest. Another time one sees some little girls making water-color sketches of historical costumes. These groups are only a small part of the pupils in the eighth grade integrated art program, where the art work is the natural outgrowth of studies in other classes. In the nine weeks short course in Art. certain fundamental learnings are presented in the form of simple lettering with pencil and pen and ink. the principles of pattern design, figure drawing from a model, and various types or illustration. SEVENTH GRADE INTEGRATED PROGRAM The seventh grade classes have been working on an integrated program this year. The purpose of this program is to make school work less artificial and more like other things in life. The pupils work individually or in groups, and each person may select any topic in which he is particularly interested. As soon as he selects his topic, he sets out to gather all the information he can. He does this by reading books, newspapers, and magazines: by interviewing people: by making field trips: by collecting pictures and models, when possible: by listening to the radio. This data is put into the form of regular books with many illustrations. When the books” are completed the pupils discuss what they have done with the rest of the class. In this way everyone gains something from the reports of the other students. The book covers are beginning to be artistic since the pupils have learned to take time and patience in making them. Each class works with one teacher for a half day. English, grammar, writing and spelling are studied not as separate subjects, but as tools for more effective organization and presentation of the special topics being developed. One objective of these classes is to give each pupil a chance to develop his special interests and abilities to the highest possible points. Another is to give pupils a better chance to work cooperatively and to show initiative in planning and carrying on activities. One of the most pretentious activities undertaken this year was the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. All At Sea. in which over one hundred students participated. The seventh grade classes took active parts as pirates, sailors, fairies, and sisters, cousins, and aunts.” AH this work was done in regular class time and it was felt that the operetta offered an ideal learning situation since training in music, dramatics, dancing, and diction were all combined in one activity. Instead of picturing the seventh grade pupils in their classrooms, groups of them arc shown here as they appeared in All At Sea. TWENTY-THREE Snapshots from “All at Sea,” The pirates, the crew The chorus and cast. Snapped as before The camera they passed. TWENTY-FOUR ACTIVITIES Few schools offer their students such a variety of activities as one finds at Richard Montgomery. The student government, based upon that of the United States, was begun with the thought that democracy and good citizenship depend largely upon the intelligence of the people and upon the amount of information they have about their own governmental set-up and its problems. The Junior Republic has been a strong factor in promoting a high type of citizenship here. The objective of the Social-Personality periods. wi;h their clubs, assemblies. and games, has been to provide opportunities for profitable use of leisure time. Students learn not only to play and work together, but many develop interests and hobbies that will be of tremendous value throughout life. The Athletic program has aided immeasurably in fostering those qualities of idealism, sportsmanship, and consideration for others which are of such great importance in the make-up of the well-rounded individual. Much more might be said, but in the following pages may be found more specific information about the many activities at Richard Montgomery High School. TWENTY-FIVE RICHARD MONTGOMERY JUNIOR REPUBLIC At Richard Montgomery High School the activities of the students are operated upon a plan similar to that of the United States government. This plan executes the dual purpose of teaching American history and giving instruction in student administration. This ideal set-up was originated by Principal L. Fletcher Schott and has been in practice at Richard Montgomery High School for five years. Although a comparatively new scheme, it has won nation-wide acclaim and as a result similar operations have been started in other schools. Richard Montgomery is run under a two house student congress which has the power to make laws pertaining to the school. Congress meets twice yearly, as provided in the Constitution, at which time two senators from each class and one representative from each homeroom meet to make new laws and 'CONGRESS OF THE JUNIOR REPUBLIC' discuss current issues. The Junior Republic is headed by a President with the power to veto: a presidential cabinet, which directs student activities: a school court appointed by the president; and a police force comprised of students. This body is empowered to serve warrants and make arrests. The Chief Executive of Richard Montgomery High School for this year is Stuart Nicewarner. supported by Jean Parent, Vice-President, and a cabinet of seven members. They are namely: Helen England. Secretary of Publicity, whose duty is to see that all school activities receive necessary publicity and advertisement through posters, speeches and press notices. Although a new position this year, this office has shown itself to be both desirable and much needed. Molly Thompson. Secretary of Publications, supervises the monthly newspaper and magazine and also the publication of the school annual, the Rocket. This member must approve all material which is to be published in the school TWENTY-SIX and make certain that news and features of the highest type are presented to the students. Paul Chmar, Secretary of Safety, with the aid of a Safety Council endeavors to promote safety in the school. This end is accomplished by various committees which make surveys of the school and report such undesirable existences as broken windows, loose hinges, and unprotected light switches. As soon as these conditions are brought to the attention of the faculty, they are remedied. Dorothy Monday, Secretary of the Treasury, is in charge of the financial division of the school. This is a most important and responsible position. The main duty of this official is to issue the monthly and mid-year activity fund statements, designating the amount of money received, expended, and balance on hand in each class and department. The money for these classes and organizations is deposited in the school bank whose checks are good anywhere in the country. CABINET OF THE JUNIOR REPUBLIC Arthur Woodward. Secretary of Athletics, has an important position, also, which was created first and foremost to maintain the school's high standing in Sportsmanship and fair play. This primary duty of the Secretary of Athletics far overshadows his other and secondary duties, since Sportsmanship is emphasized upon every Richard Montgomery High School team, aside from the fact that it is the basic element of the annual Sportsmanship Tournament. In direct sequence with Sportsmanship comes Citizenship. Good citizenship is as much a necessary factor in successful living as Sportsmanship. Therefore a position in the cabinet is allotted to it. Jack Clark, who is in charge of this phase of endeavor, must supervise the Patrol. With a faculty adviser he goes over the arrests made by the student patrol to see that only the significant matters are- presented to the court. TWENTY-SEVEN Lastly, but equally important is the office of Secretary of Social Personality, headed by Bebe Howard. This department of the Cabinet was designed primarily to promote a more friendly relationship among the students of Richard Montgomery, and between this school and others, by means of club work, assemblies, plays, and games. This work includes supervision of all activities which take place during Social Personality periods, and in every way strives to bring about a more harmonious recreation period. While these two branches of the government do their parts well, no such arrangement would be complete without the Judiciary. The School Court of Richard Montgomery High School is composed of three justices—the Chief 'COURT OP THE JUNIOR RF.PUBI.IC” Justice and two associate justices. This year they are Mary Marguerite Wilson. Nelle Broome, and Gordon Conklin, respectively. The Court also has a Bailiff, Roger Karr, and a Clerk. Esther Hines. Twice weekly the Court sessions are called to hear and pass judgment upon cases raised by the Patrolmen. At this time the defendants present their cases and plead their causes and the Patrolmen may also state their reasons for arrests. Of course, each branch of the student government has a faculty adviser, but the object is to let the student learn to do by doing. The advisers are there to give guidance when it may be needed, but otherwise they stay in the background and allow the students to work out their own ideas in running their school Democracy. TWENTY-EIGHT THE PATROL COMPANY The aim of the Patrol Company of Richard Montgomery is to direct traffic well in the halls and to enforce laws made by the school congress. The Patrol is in charge of the school grounds and buildings. The uniform of a Patrolman consists of a militaristic type of shirt and a special belt. An insignia is worn indicating the rank of the Patrolmen. The captain is appointed by the President of the Junior Republic. The Patrolmen leave classes a few minutes before the bell in order to be at their posts when it rings. When a person is arrested, his offense, the date, arresting Patrolman, witness, and defendant are given to the captain, who gives them to the clerk of the court. The Clerk in turn, makes out warrants which are given to the defendant, who THE PATROL COMPANY' appears before the court and is tried, to determine whether he is guilty or not. The Patrol is a part of the executive branch of the government. Patrolmen show courtesy at all times. Patrolmen would rather redirect than punish pupils and consequently warn those pupils who make min,or infractions of school laws. Members of the Patrol are: Captain Dawson Wootton Lieutenant Worley Cheeks Sergeant Thomas Berry Privates: Eli Lloyd, Lloyd San- bower, Robert Stiles, John Clark, Dick Cleveland, Milton Clogg. TWENTY-NINF THE SAFETY PATROL The Richard Montgomery Safety Patrol is recognized as one of the most essential and efficient organizations in R. M. H. S. Under the competent guidance of Patrol Captain Louis Grossman, the Patrol has proven outstanding in the execution of its many duties, including such protective measures as maintaining goodnatured order on school buses, and directing students across busy streets. Members of the Safety Patrol are: Louis Grossman William Sec Reuben Hines Darby Peddicord Milton Steven James Miller Jack Milor James Smith ' THE SAFETY PATROL Members of the Bus Patrol are the following: Darby Peddicord Wallace Shoemaker Eugene Hankel Samuel Carr Edgar Poole Norman Murphy Vernon King Rolf Pies Wallace Kirby Tenny Martz Harold Carlin Raymond Burdette Andrew Baughman Davis Schwartzbeck Joyce Day The Safety Patrol has proven successful in that it has promoted good will and cooperation among bus and town students. This achievement has been found beneficial to the safety of all students of Richard Montgomery. THIRTY THE SAFETY COUNCIL The Safety Council of Richard Montgomery is undoubtedly a very essential portion of our student government. Under the leadership of Paul Chmar, President, the Council has brought about many worthy achievements of undeniable benefit to the school and the students. The ambition of the Richard Montgomery High School Safety Council for 1937-1938 has been to remove safety hazards from the school and its surroundings, and to make the school a better place, in general. The achievements of the Council for this year have been many, but the outstanding accomplishment has been the improved rest rooms. In this case, sanitation has been promoted and satisfactory facilities procured. The Council has striven to get fire bells installed in the shop and the gymnasium, and. although success has not yet been theirs in this venture, a clear THE SAFETY COUNCIL understanding of the matter has been accorded the proper authorities. The Council is certain of success in the next few semesters. Organized a few years ago. the Council has been more than efficient in its work. Meetings are held weekly, at which all problems of safety and the welfare of the school are discussed. The Council boasts seventeen capable members, who have done much towards the promotion of safety in the school, and the abolition of safety hazards at home. The members of the Safety Council are: Paul Chmar Jacqueline Alden Bill Veazy Preston Weaver Dorothy Phillips Evelyn Orme John Carter Ann Ramsdell Rowland Mansfield Norman Anders Fred Ricketts Frank Higgins Georgia Huffer The Safety Council has in many ways proved of advantage to the school, and of infinite value to the students of Richard Montgomery. The power of the Council has been gratefully appreciated by its many beneficiaries. In the picture are found members of the Safety Council and members of the newly organized Safety Club, which works in cooperation with the Council. THIRTY-ONE THE SENIOR HIGH CITIZENSHIP COUNCIL President .............................................. ARTHUR WOODWARD Vice-President ........................................... CATHERINE STILES Secretary ................................................ DOROTHY MONDAY Adviser ...................... MISS HAUKE The Citizenship Council of Richard Montgomery High School, although functioning under several names in the past, has been in existence for twelve years. Eligibility to membership is determined in April of each year and is open to all Senior High Students, who from the beginning of the school year in September until April, have maintained an average in their studies and citizenship equal to or higher than the minimum standard set by the constitution of the Council. An average of “C” is required of students taking the academic course, and average of ”B” is required of those taking any other course, and all must have at least an average of “B” in Citizenship. The students receiving these averages until April automatically become members. Students thus demonstrating continuous interest and perseverance in their studies and exhibiting good manners and conduct are allowed certain privileges in the school building that are denied to non-members. The existence of this honorary Society has furnished the students with a powerful incentive to study harder and to be ever watchful of their manners, conduct, and co-operation in school activities. THE SENIOR HIGH CITIZENSHIP COUNCIL” JUNIOR HIGH CITIZENSHIP COUNCIL The Junior High Citizenship Council was formerly a part of the Senior High Citizenship Council. However, this year a constitution was drawn up by old members and the Junior Council was founded. It was then placed under the supervision of a faculty member. The Council was formed to promote better Citizenship among students throughout the school and to help all students understand their school better as they enter Junior High. The Council is not great in size but it gave its full support to Gordon Hittenmark’s Doll Campaign in Washington, D. C. Another activity begun by the Council is the presentation of a citizenship pin to the most deserving student of the ninth grade at Junior High Graduation. This pin is sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution. The student is chosen at a meeting of the faculty from a group of students nominated by the Council after much consideration John Brunett has been the capable president of the organization this year. THIRTY-TWO CAFETERIA HOSTESSES' THE CAFETERIA HOSTESS SYSTEM In the last several years our cafeteria has undergone many additions and improvements. Last year a hostess patrol, whose job it was to be on duty in the cafeteria every lunch hour, was organized. The hostesses see that order and tidiness are maintained at all times. This year the hostesses visited a nearby school to observe a new cafeteria plan which was later adopted for use in our own school. By this new plan each student has a regularly reserved place at a cafeteria table. Each table has one or more hostesses who have the responsibility of arranging the tables before the students arrive and of keeping order. Gaily colored mats and flowers are provided for each table and comfortable chairs replaced the benches. At first this plan was used by only one table in the junior high. It was so well liked that more and more tables were added until the entire cafeteria was using it. Now the new system is working very well in both the junior and senior high, and other schools are becoming aware of its popularity and success. RICHARD MONTGOMERY S CAFETERIA THIRTY-THREE THE SPORTSMANSHIP BROTHERHOOD President CATHERINE STILES Vice-President STUART NICEWARNER Secretary MARY MARGUERITE WILSON Clerk ARTHUR WOODWARD The organization which does the most to promote friendly relations and good sportsmanship among the students of Richard Montgomery is the Sportsmanship Brotherhood. Under the supervision of Mr. Nelson, the faculty adviser, the organization carries on its various activities. The Sportsmanship Brotherhood sponsors the annual Sportsmanship Tournament, an event eagerly awaited by athletic teams all over the county. The Tournament idea was originated by our principal, L. Fletcher Schott, ten years ago and has been followed without exception since its inception. A different scoring system is used in this series of games and like THE SPORTSMANSHIP BROTHERHOOD” the Tournament itself is based upon clean playing. Also, the Brotherhood provides the cheering sections for the basketball and soccer games as well as for the Tournament. This is an international organization with chapters in nearly every country in the world. High standards are maintained and as a result, membership is limited. However, this year, the Richard Montgomery High School Chapter has forty-two members. The following students are members of this chapter: Jean Parent, Catherine Stiles. Helen England, Stuart Nicewarner, Edna Anders. Dorothy Monday, Jessie Peddicord, Edwin Brown. Rowland Mansfield, Mary Marguerite Wilson. Arthur Woodward. Florence Barker, Jack Clark. Bebe Howard, Woodrow Kraft, Peter Jackson. Gordon Rosenberger. Molly Thompson, Bobby Johnson, Marvel Williams, Dawson Wootton, Nancy Swecker, Margaret Williams, Douglas Rosenberger, Beverly Martin. Polly Prescott, Jean Leighton, Eleanor Leighton. Margaret Bennett, Norman Anders, Ella Mae Benson, Anna Karge, John Brunett, T homas Ray, Juanita Nicewarmer, Guy Baker. Mary Maude David, Thomas Berry, John Bell, Carter Dawson, and Ward Wisner. THIRTY-FOUR DEBATING Under the excellent supervision of Mrs. Shepherd, the Debate Teams have made a very good showing in both the County and District Leagues this year. Until this year there have been only two teams to represent R. M. H. S.. but along with the decision to enter the District League it was also decided to organize a third team. The purpose of this third team was to have it uphold the school in the Home” debates along with the second team, while the first team would represent R. M. H. S. at all Debates away. The members of the teams in their respective speaking order are as follows: First team: Nancy Swecker. Gordon RoScnberger and Gordon Conklin: Second team: Dorothy MaGaha, Jack Clark, and Stuart Nicewarner: Third team: Marvel Williams. Russell Davis, and Edwin Brown. THE DEBATING TEAM All the debates, which were held in the District League, were held under the supervision of Dr. Yeager, Professor of Public Speaking at George Washington University. All Judges were likewise provided by George Washington University and before giving their decisions always gave much constructive criticism of both sides. Also in this league there was a SI00 scholarship award given to each member of the winning affirmative and negative teams. The plan used was the Modified Oregon Plan which included two eight minute constructive speeches, two four minute cross-examinations and one seven minute rebuttal from each side. The topic was Resolved: That the Several States Should Adopt a Unicameral System of Legislature.” Much of the material, which was secured by the students themselves, was obtained from the George Washington University Handbook and from various references at the Library of Congress. In comparison with the record of last year the team's record of this year seems very much improved. The Negative side won its debates from Bethesda-Chevy Chase and Montgomery Blair in the County League and from Woodrow Wilson, Eastern and Central in the District. The affirmative side won its debate with Bethesda-Chevy Chase. As is seen. Richard Montgomery High School has some students to be proud of and on whom it can depend to uphold the name of the school in oratorical contests as well as athletic events. THIRTY-FIVE ‘ ALL AT SEA” On the evening of April 8. the operetta All at Sea was presented in the auditorium of Richard Montgomery High School. This performance represented the result of weeks of preparation on the part of most of the departments of the school. Naturally, those students taking music were most deeply involved but all over the school could be found signs that the interest was general. Miss Day's Art classes made posters and helped design scenery and costumes. Miss Nichol's' rooms were crowded with girls working on fairies’ and sisters', cousins' and aunts' costumes: and Mr. Williams' classes not only took part in the performance via the Policemen's Chorus but were responsible for much of the construction of the scenery. It has been several years since an operetta was given here, which may have been one reason why there was such a large and enthusiastic audience. On the actual night of performance ' Principals from the cast of ALL AT SEA everyone was so excited and throats were so dry that the pitcher of ice water kept under the steps on the stage was soon emptied. But the excitement proved to be a good thing, for all the actors threw themselves into their parts with a vigor that was contagious, and the choruses lifted their voices with the utmost of vim and vitality. Mrs. Blew at the piano, assisted by Mrs. Gilmore, was a staunch supporter throughout, and Miss Baker, conducting from the other side of the footlights, was so excited at the triumphal progress of the operetta, that she almost forgot to give the cues. All good things must come to an end. altho we tried to prolong the end of the operetta by spending almost a whole day in taking photographs of everyone in costume. Now the only tangible remains are the empty flower basket in the music room, and the ropes and spars of the good ship Pinafore on the stage. However, in the hearts and minds of some 150 students there is a store of memories of catchy songs, ridiculous speeches, and all the little happenings that make producing an operetta an unforgetable experience. THIRTY-SIX The Cast was as follows: Phyllis Strephaen Mabel Frederick Josephine Ralph Growsner Patience Police Sargeant Sir Joseph MARY MARGUERITE WILSON JOHN AYRES RUTH WATERS J. ROWLAND MANSFIELD JESSIE PEDDICORD JOHN ALLNUTT BILL HELFRISH MARY MARGARET GARRETT ARTHUR F. WOODWARD ALFRED HOLLAND “CHORUS OF SISTERS. COUSINS AND AUNTS” Fairy Queen Buttercup Mikado Pooh-Bah Pirate King Koko Captain Chancellor Dick Deadeye Midshipmate MARGARET WILLIAMS MAE JONES PAUL CHMAR RUSSELL DAVIS CLYDE MILOR GEORGE LECHLIDER GORDON CONKLIN GORDON ROSENBERGER .. LEON SPROLES JACK WILLIAMS Pirates' Chorus Chorus of Fairies Sisters and Cousins and Aunts Policemen's Chorus Sailors' Chorus THIRTY-SEVEN TABLE TENNIS In the past year, under the able supervision of Mr. Norris, faculty adviser. Table Tennis has been added to Richard Montgomery's interscholastic athletic curriculum. The Table Tennis Team has obtained several matches with a number of the outstanding schools of Montgomery County, including Sherwood, Bethesda-Chevy Chase, and Montgomery Blair. It is possible that in a few years there will be a tournament between the school teams of Montgomery County. The regular Table Tennis team is composed of Bill Helfrich, John Allnutt, Henry Allnutt, Jack Clark. Arthur Woodward, Stuart Nicewarner, and Bob Slater. Bill Helfrich is also the manager of the team. Just recently a tournament was held to determine some future possibility for the team. Bobby Johnson was the winner of this tournament and he was presented with a Coleman Clark racquet by Mr. Schott. RICHARD MONTGOMERY S TABLE TENNIS TEAM” The first ten ranking for both Boys and Girls are as follows: BOYS: GIRLS: 1 William Helfrich 1 Beverly Martin 2 Jack Clark 2 Marvel Williams 3 John Allnutt 3 Margaret Williams 4 Robert Johnson 4 Signa Schottroff 5 Henry Allnutt 5 Evelyn Orme 6 Jack Lee 6 Constance Williams 7 Arthur Woodward 7 Hannah Burdette 8 Paul Chmar 8 Carolyn Johnson 9 Stuart Nicewarmer 9 Blanche Waters 10 William Veazey 10 Rose Marie Wolcott THIRTY-EIGHT President Vice-President Secretary RICHARD MONTGOMERY CLUBS FRANCIS DAY KENNETH WATERS J. ROWLAND MANSFIELD Under the able guidance of Bebe Howard. Secretary of Social Personality, more than sixty social and instructive clubs have been assembled this semester. These associations have served very appropriately their dual purpose. They have promoted congenial and more enjoyable relations between students, and between students and faculty, and have given the students a recreative, educational program for free intervals in the schedule. Although every club in Richard Montgomery merits recognition, lack of space necessitates our sketching briefly only a few of the representative groups. THE BACHELOR S CLUB'' THE BACHELORS CLUB The Bachelors Club was founded this year by its capable adviser. Miss Nicholls. It has proven very helpful to its members, who are all boys of the Senior High School. The Club has been both educational and entertaining in many ways. Some days there were pants being pressed, shoes sparkling with a new shine, and many learning the correct color to wear at the dance on Friday night. On March 17, you should have seen Artie” Woodward and Tommy Weddle putting the final touch on the salad that was served at the luncheon. Guests were invited to the luncheon, and it ended with everyone having eaten so much the last class was reached with difficulty. Now that our students are being trained to meet the fast moving world of style, the girls can step aside while the Bachelors go proudly by, with heads high: specialists in speech, dress, color, and cooking. THIRTY-NINE THE GLEE CLUB President ............ ARTHUR WOODWARD Vice-President ROLAND MANSFIELD Secretary MARY MARGUERITE WILSON Adviser ................................................................ MISS BAKER THE GLEE CLUB” i The boys' and girls’ glee clubs of Richard Montgomery High School, while working separately in the past, have done excellent work. This year the clubs were combined to form one of the most outstanding choral groups in school history. Much of the success of this group has been due to the excellent supervision and coaching given it by our talented instructor, Miss Baker. These choristers have been called upon on many occasions to take part in various programs. They have sung before school assemblies as well as before outside organizations such as the P. T. A. The vocal harmonies of this group of future MacDonalds'’ and Eddys” have been well received by all groups before which they appeared. The presentation of the Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta All At Sea proved to be the highlight of the year's work. This operatic dream was given by the glee club with the assistance of several other classes. The colorful and picturesque costumes, over one hundred and twenty-five, added greatly to the success of the performance. FORTY THE EMILY POST CLUB 'THE EMILY POST CLUB Having become a recognized institution in the school life of Richard Montgomery High School.the Emily Post Club celebrated the third anniversary of its founding in October 19f7. The members during the present school year have consisted exclusively of girls from the Junior High School, and so discussions concerning the fine points of etiquette have had a decidedly feminine tone. A Christmas tea in honor of Mr. and Mrs. L. Fletcher Schott was an interesting feature of this year’s program. Guests were charmingly greeted by Georgia Huffer. Carter Dawson and Pam Karge were greatly responsible for the success of a Valentine Party for the club given in February. Georgia Huffer has acted as the efficient reporter of club activities to the Sunshine and Shadows. Amateur programs given by Margaret Day and Joanna Black, incorporating the correct modes of speech, proved to be popular with the club members. Other active members of the club were Alice Lechlider and Mary Maud Davis. Betty Anne Clark, Audrey Coffin. Mary Forsburg, Marion Gill, Pauline Oden, Mildred Ricketts, and Mabel Vinson. The Club officers were as follows: President MILDRED COLEMAN Vice-President .............. ... JOANNA BLACK Secretary .......................................................... CARTER DAWSON FORTY-ONE THE GIRLS SHOP CLUB This year for the first time a Girls Shop Club was organized, much to the delight of the feminine contingent in the school. Each girl works on a project in mechanical drawing, metal work, or wood work. Much admiration and many ohs!” and ahsl” have been bestowed upon the work of the girls—bracelets, napkin rings, wall brackets, lamps, and a number of other artistic articles in metal and wood. The girls are not at all shy about using hammers, saws, and lathes, and will soon have the boys hustling if they wish to maintain their traditional superiority as handymen” around the home. THE JUNIOR MECHANICS CLUB President .................................................... LESTER CLAGETT Vice-President.................................................. LEON SPROLES I reasnrer (il-.ORC.l MURPHY Secretary BOB SLA'I 1 R The Junior Mechanics Club was also newly organized this year. This club meets in the Shop on Thursday and Friday during the Social-Personality Period and at night on every other Tuesday. The nu’deus of this group was formed of boys in the Technical Shop group, who arc the officers of the club. Students wishing to join, were required to make application for membership. Unanimous approval of the officers is required before any member is admitted. The boys work on individual projects in wood or metal work.

FOR MY CLUB. MY COMMUNITY. AND MY COUNTRY.' THE 4-H CLUB The object of the Rockville Boys 4-H Club is to stimulate an interest in rural life and the improvement of agriculture and to meet the standard club requirements in order to qualify for participation in county, state, and national 4-H club activities. This is accomplished by group meetings, project work, demonstrations, talk, games, exhibits, and moving pictures. Their accomplishments this year have been numerous. The Second Annual Rockville 4-H Community Fair was the outstanding achievement. In addition to this, project work has been very successful. The majority of the members are interested in poultry. The club was represented at the Maryland State Poultry Show last winter. Other enterprises carried on by the boys include baby beeves, colts, calves, swine, fowls, honeybees, wildlife, and various other projects. In future months, they expect to exhibit at the Baltimore Livestock Show and the Frederick and Timonium Fairs. Their success is greatly indebted to the leadership of Mr. Rufus B. King, their local adviser and leader. Under his able supervision their project work has been greatly improved. The club expects to meet during the summer months and make the best better. FORTY-THREE Some snapped in the country Some taken in town— Caught unawares In a giggle or frown. FORTY-FOUR Some laughing and playing Some hard at work And the camera sees all With a thumb’s slightest jerk, FORTY-FIVE From Richard Montgomery Are these photographs Some candid—some posed Designed for some laughs. FORTY-SIX ATHLETICS Richard Montgomery has for many years been among the leaders in county athletics. Although a much smaller school than her suburban Washington rivals, and having fewer student athletes to draw from, still she has been a constant threat to the supremacy of these larger schools. Last Fall R. M. H. S. produced under Coach Vogt a championship soccer team. His team went through eight games undefeated and was scored upon only once. The basket ball season was not quite so successful, but a most creditable showing was made, winning 15 games out of 24. and landing in the runner-up position in the Sportman-ship Basket Ball Tournament which was conceived and inaugurated by Mr. Schott some ten years ago. This annual event has proven each succeeding year to be more successful and interesting. During the basket ball season we lost Coach Vogt. He was succeeded by Mr. Beall, a graduate of R. M. H. S. and the University of Maryland. Mr. Beall, incidentally, was one of the greatest track men ever developed at Maryland. He is one of the most likeable and poular men that we have ever had at the school. We have some fine track material in school, and under the coaching of Mr. Beall we can expect great things in a few years from his track teams. The base ball season is just about to open and we have been lucky enough to obtain Mr. Cleveland as the coach. The team will be made up chiefly of boys who have had several years of varsity experience and the school can confidently look forward to a fine year in this sport. As to the girls- athletic teams. R. M. H. S. was hit hard by graduation last year. Miss Cockburn had to start the year with green material on her basket ball and hockey teams. These teams made a good showing when the lack of experience of the members is considered. How ever, with a year’s experience behind them we can expect Coach Cockburn to develop teams in these sports that will be hard to beat next year. All in all the past year has been above the average. The students are becoming more and more interested in sports and with the fine coaching staff that we now have, we can expect bigger and better things from an athletic standpoint for our school. FORTY-SEVEN SOCCER Playing a consistently brilliant brand of soccer, the '17 edition of the R. M. H, S. fall sport came through their eight-game schedule without a single defeat, thereby winning the mythical Montgomery County Championship. Most of the players on the team were ones of experience, who had played at least one season of soccer before, and under the guidance of Coach Vogt a well-rounded team was formed. The boys were not big. but they had a fighting spirit and a will to win which more than made up for their lack of size. In the persons of Otis Butt, ‘'Bus” Day, Pin-head” Ray, Tommy Slater and Cecil Mulligan, Richard Montgomery had a forward wall of which any coach would be proud. Fast and dogged, this smooth clicking line moved as a THE SOCCER TEAM group of phantoms through the opposing backfield to the goal. In the backfield of this championship team we find Jack Clark, Dick Cleveland, and Knowlton Burgee playing the half-back positions: George Lechleider and Clyde Milor as the full-backs and Artie Woodward as goalie. The strength of this part of the team may be shown in the fact that during all eight games, at only one time did the opposition get through to score. Woodward was in hot water many a time during the season, but time after time his fist or foot struck out to send the pellet sailing to mid-field and out of the danger zone. In the old saying, A team is no better than its subs,” lies much of the success of the team. The capable subs were John Carter. “Ikey Grossman. Paul Monay, Bob McElfish, David Bailey, Dick Swartzbeck, Bob Cleveland and Bob Slater. The season's results were as follows: Richard Montgomery 6 Montgomery B'.air 0 10 Hyattsville 0 3 Poolcsville 0 2 Maryland Park 0 8 Damascus 0 3 Montgomery Blair 0 4 Hyattsville 0 8 Gaithersburg .......................... 2 Total Score: Richard Montgomery .................... 44 Opponents 2 FORTY-EIGHT HOCKEY A popular world sport was introduced into the athletic curriculum of Richard Montgomery this year. The game is Hockey, and has firmly established itself in our institution. The participants accepted this activity enthusiastically, while the remaining portion of the student body supported it with their fine spirit. It was through the work of Miss Cockburn that we were able to secure our equipment. Due to budgeting the funds of previous years, the purchase of this equipment was made possible. Since very few schools in the county are fitted for this sport. Richard Montgomery had no definite schedule planned for this year. However, games were secured with Maryland University, and ' THE HOCKEY TEAM Montgomery Blair High School at Silver Spring. The team put up a good game each time, but laurels went to the opposing teams. The game with the accomplished maidens of Maryland proved very instructive to the entire squad and inspired them to do bigger and better things. Hockey has taken its place in our athletic curriculum with a strong foothold for future years of sport. FORTY-NINE SENIOR BOYS BASKETBALL The Orange Tide ended its 1937-38 season by dropping a thrilling game to the sharp-shooting Hyattsvillc five, in the finals of the Tenth Annual Sportsmanship Tournament. Despite discouraging pre-season predictions as to the success of the tea rtf, as well as a mid-season change of coaches, this quint surpassed all expectations. Fortunately, the squad was hampered only slightly by sickness and injuries. Thus, this ever-fighting quint finished the most successful season of any R. M. H. S. varsity five in the past three years, with the very creditable record of 1 5 victories and 9 losses. 20 17 23 10 27 23 25 29 23 25 20 24 40 20 20 26 18 24 11 33 22 23 29 27 ' SENIOR BOYS BASKETBAI.L TEAM'' The scores are as follows: Richard Montgomery 10 Georgetown Prep.

FIFTY SENIOR GIRLS BASKETBALL The Girls Senior High Basketball Team got off to a bad start at the beginning of this season. Somewhere along the way the team had lost something, but what it was they could not find out. They were defeated in one game after the other, taking each loss with a grand display of sportsmanship. Despite all laughing and kidding they kept on, determined to win. About three-quarters of the season was over, when the team got their new uniforms. They slid slightly away from the school colors when they picked blue and grey as their color scheme. However, the team and its coach, Miss Cockburn, are very proud of them. Mrs. William Bohannon and Miss Gertrude Nicholls made the uniforms and the team expressed their appreciation by giving a tea in their honor. Now that the team has its new uniforms, nothing should stand in its way of victory. Miss Cockburn told the team a secret and due partly to the girls’ determination to win and partly to that secret, the girls soared to victory in most of the games which followed. None, who had seen them play at the beginning of the year, could believe that so great an improvement could be made in such a short time. And the players? They were so enthusiastic and pepped up, they wanted to make a whole new schedule and start the season all over again, but of course, they couldn't. •'SENIOR GIRI.S BASKETBALL TEAM The one thing they had lost had been found by Miss Cockburn. It was the secret she had told them before they started winning. The secret? It was. as Miss Cockburn expressed it. The team lacks oneness. She told them they must learn to be All for one and one for all.” The girls tried it and it worked! It's no wonder the team took as its motto, AH for one and one for all.” The girls are looking forward to a great season next year and. using this year's example as a teacher, plan to start winning the games at the very beginning of the season. What can stop them? They have sportsmanship, a good coach and oneness ! FIFTY ONE JUNIOR BOYS BASKETBALL The entire school has reason to be proud of the boys Junior High Basketball team. During the regular season this smooth passing and accurate shooting team won nine games while losing only one. It placed as runner-up in the R. M. H. S. Sportsmanship Basketball Tournament and in the tournament held at I. eland Junior High. It is interesting to note that only one team was able to defeat them, Leland Junior High turning the trick in a regular season game and also in both of the tournaments. The team was composed of the following: Norman Anders, Buddy Monday. Dick Schwartzback. Bob McElfish, Worley Cheeks. Otis Butts, Bob Stiles. Guy Baker. Paul Monday, Jack Clark, Julius Martz, K. Coffey, J. Koiner, C. Howard, P. Lowery. L. Hocker. Jack Milor, Fred Ricketts, Jack Williams. Sonny Brindle. ' JUNIOR BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM” The scores are as follows: R. M. H. S. 22 R. M. H. S. 20 R.

ILeland Junior High Tournament. FIFTY-TWO JUNIOR GIRLS BASKF.TBALL When basketball season opened last fall, the girls looked forward to a season of enjoyment and fair play. Although they were not fortunate enough to win the county championship, they thoroughly enjoyed playing with other schools and making new friends. Throughout the games, the girls displayed fine sportsmanship at all times. Under the coaching of Miss Canada, the girls worked very hard and promise to be excellent material for the varsity. A stout heart was kept in defeat and pride under in victory. The forwards were: Ella Mae Benson. Katherine Cleveland. Alice Myers, Jeanette Schneider, Mildred Coleman. Ruth Cleveland. Thelma Lee, Marjorie Kraft, and Mary Forsburg. JUNIOR GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM The guards were: Barbara Wolcott, Juanita Nicewarner, Helen Ricketts. Jean Beane, Nell Young, Carter Dawson, Carolyn Veirs. and Betty Helfrich. The team was managed capably by Molly Thompson. It was fortunate in being asked to participate in the County Junior High Girls' Tournament, held at Sherwood High School. Though they won no championshios. the squad has high hopes of a successful season next year. FIFTY-THREE BASEBALL The pre-season forecast as to the success of the 1938 R. M. H. S. baseball nine is at present very encouraging. Barring unforeseen mishaps this team should turn in a very creditable record at the end of the season. With the graduation of only three of last year's regulars, the majority of the players on the squad are experienced ones. But under the skillful tutelage of Mr. Cleveland, our new coach, the vacant positions will no doubt be filled by very promising rookies. Surveying the actual playing roster we find that the position of catcher THE BASEBALL TEAM” is capably filled by two veterans, namely: Otis Butt and Knowlton Burgee. The burden of the pitching job probably will be carried throughout the extensive fourteen-game schedule by Dick Cleveland, Arthur Woodward, Alvin Watkins, and Bob Stang. In the infield, we find Bob Slater at the initial sack, William Hill at second, Tommy Weddle at shortstop, and Buster Day holding down the hot corner. Roaming the outfield terrain we find Bob Marsden, George Lechlider, and Vernon Payne. This constitutes the team which will carry the Orange Tide colors onto the field. No doubt the highlights of the season will prove to be the games with Bethesda-Chevy Chase. Maryland Frosh, and George Washington High School. The schedule for the season is as follows: April 12—Gaithersburg May 10—U. of Md. Prosh April 15—Hyattsville May 12—George Washington High April 1 9—Landon Prep. May 1 6—Sherwood April 22—Bethesda-Chevy Chase May 1 7—Devitt April 26—Maryland Park May 20—Georgetown Prep. April 29—Charlotte Hall May 24—Hyattsville May 3—Anacostia May 27—Charlotte Hall FIFTY-FOUR TENNIS As the tennis season for 1938 opens at R. M. H. S.. a very successful year is envisioned. Prospects for the coming season show signs of developing into an excellent squad. A very extensive schedule, destined to provide very stiff competition for the local racqueteers,” is being formulated. The schedule includes matches with Bethesda-Chevy Chase. Montgomery Blair. Friends, Charlotte Hall, and Georgetown Prep. The squad will probably consist of the two veterans, Stu Nicewarner and Artie Woodward, while the remaining positions will be battled for by John Allnutt, Henry Allnutt. Bill Helfrich. Bob Slater, and John Carter.
