f — ISIS h THE ROCKET 1940 ■6- |Wrai k Published by the Students of Richard Montgomery High School “The School for Citizenship” Rockville, Maryland Accredited by the Middle Stales Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools u a: £ ij o c x CJ C ) This year has been a tragic one in the lives of many of us. The fire destroyed forever many of the things which were valuable hut which can he replaced. However, the memories, the traditions, and the attachments which were cherished by both graduates and undergraduates can never be replaced. There is, however, some consolation for which we can be thankful. We should all be thankful that the fire occurred at a time when there was no possibility of a pupil being hurt. i We can be grateful that the records of both graduates and undergraduates were all saved. 1 am hopeful that we may take a lesson from the phoenix, that fabulous bird of the ancient East, which arose from its ashes and created a new self which was young, beautiful and eternal. L. Fletcher Schott FORWORD With just a bit of pathos and pensiveness in our hearts, we present this the last year hook of the old Richard Montgomery High School. As we look hack over its past history we see many signs of the progress that has been achieved— progress that has been commensurate w ith the passing years. There have been many changes, many innovations, all proving that “The true law of the race is progress.” It is with this thought in mind that we have seleced as our theme this year “Progress and Education.” -J We present this year book to you as a treasure chest which holds all the memories and fond recollections of a high school with a glorious past. May it remind you of the smiles, the tears, the joys, the sorrows and the valued frienlships which we have shared in our past years together. As wc stand on the threshold of a new decade, with the future promising a bigger and better high school, a chance for new opportunities and a past that offers a firm foundation upon which to build, let us say, “May the future be even more glorious than the past!” DR. WILLIAM WL WELSH, R.M.H.S. '26 To Dr. William W. Welsh this annual is respectfully dedicated. With gratitude and pride we make this our gesture of respect and thanks for many hours of patient service cheerfully given. L. F. SCHOTT, B.S. M.A. “Patience and fortitude conquer all things.’ To know Mister Schott is to know the sagacity of this statement. F.ver patient, ever willing to help and always ready to lend a sympathetic and understanding ear. he has won a host of student admirers in his fifteen years as principal of Richard Montgomery High School. For his keen judgement and tolerance, we admire him: for his untiring efforts in bettering the school, we thank him; and for his counselling and guidance, we shall always be indebted to him.

This faculty has done much to further cooperation, understanding and general good feeling between the student body and the faculty. Richard Montgomery and its associates continue to be proud of the faculty for which it is noted. [8] Abell A. Norris, Jr. FACULTY Georgetown University, A.B. Science Mahcarktta M.

Through the introduction of several new subjects, electives and new interpretation of old subjects, much progress has been made toward a better education. In school life, just as in other phases of living, changes must be made continually to keep up with a changing world. It is necessary, then, that these changes be progressive— moving forward. As new situations and problems arise, we must be prepared to meet them. If we have been progressive, we will be able to do this and thus we become more aware of the things about us that tend to better educaeion. CHEMISTRY Chemistry, under the able guidance of Mr. Norris, has this year proved applicable as well as interesting. Major objectives of the course have been to instill in the students a scientific attitude and to teach them to apply that attitude to everyday life. The traditional study of the elements and compounds in chemistry have been transferred to the problems of everyday life. However, the academic side of Chemistry has received close attention and the students feel they are gaining valuable information. This hus resulted in an exceptionally interesting and helpful class. JUNIOR ENGLISH Since the Junior year is nearing the adult stage. Junior Knglish tends to suggest underst and ini whi'h will help the pupils find their places in their world of today, to understand how universal man’s problems are, and to continuously identify one’s own problems with those of others helps to do this. World literature, contemporary literature and particularly American literature are used as source material. Intense personal interests in some particular types of literature may crave to be satisfied at this stage. If so, the student is allowed to work out a program of his own to include that interest. Since, however, the average person talks approximately one hundred times as much as he writes, more emphasis is placed on oral expression than on written. The skills and techniques of being able to speak ami write well are taken care of as an outgrowth of reading and experiences. Generally speaking, eleventh grade Knglish stresses further ability and growth in all of the experiences of daily living in which one has a need for reading, writing and speaking. 9TH GRADE CIVICS Civics is a class in school life which helps the students to become better citizens in later life. This subject deals with our present government of which a thorough and interesting study is made. Trips to observe governmental proceedings are encouraged and the class sometimes visits the proceedings in a body. This study furnishes a solid basis upon which can be built the high school courses of history. Much reference material is available and, for those who wish to broaden their knowledge, there are maps and charts. Cartoons help the students appreciate and understand the subject. It is true that Civics prepares and helps the student take his place as a good citizen after school years have passed. BANKING The Richard Montgomery High School Commercial Bank, a branch bank of the Farmer’s Banking and Trust Company of Rockville, Maryland, was organized on February 7, 1928 and has progressed steadily ever since. The purpose of the Bank is to encourage boys and girls to be thrifty and to put their money into good use. The Bank gives a decided amount of interest and declares a dividend on its stock. This shows the advantage of depositing money in your school bank. The Bank handles the money belonging to all school activities, and it operates a savings and checking department. It was established for the use and education of the students and it has proved to be beneficial. It has its own President and Board of Directors and is one of the three chartered banks in this part of the country. It is operated entirely by capable and efficient Seniors. It has its own deposit slips, stock certificates and its checks are accepted in any bank in the United States. Every Senior who has the privilege of working in this bank certainly considers it an honor and receives a thorough education in the banking business. [20] 7B MATH The 7K Math class has had a most interesting year. The first month of school was spent in reviewing addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division after which special attention was given to speed. The most enjoyable units were those on geometric patterns and graphs. Many of the students did work comparable to a sophomore student in geometry. Nearly every type of graph obtainable was on display. The unit on formulas was the most difficult for them to master. Each student, while working at bis own class level, was permitted to advance as rapidly as possible. By this method the more advanced students were not retarded by the slower ones. Thus each student was given the opportunity to accomplish as much as he could do. BIOLOGY Biology, a study of living things, shows us the way in which all organisms are related. In order to better understand the relationships, it has been necessary to dissect frogs, worms, fish and grasshoppers. Thus, we are better able to study the internal organs and their functions. Through Miss Hauke s profound interest in her subject, she has been able to extend a vast amount of her knowledge to the students. This subject is important to school students for it contains much everyday information which equips the student for his role as a citizen of our country. JUNIOR MECHANICS The Junior Mechanics is a national organization. Its purpose is to help boys use their leisure time, doing worth while things. The Junior Mechanics Club was organized two years ago by Mr. Oass, who felt that it would be a success. The Vocational boys become members automatically. Others who wish to become members must be voted in and must receive one hundred per cent of the member’s votes. A member or an officer may be impeached if the members feel that he is not doing his duty. The dues are seventy cents a year, which is used for parties, held four times a year. TYPING CLASS Typing has proved to be one of the most important subjects taken up by those students expecting to become a part of the business world after graduation. For that reason many phases of office work are introduced in the senior typing class. Daily class work consists mainly of budget work, that is, typing letters, forms, and straight copy in consecutive sections. Several forms of business letters and their uses are taught along with the general procedure of setting them up. In acquiring speed, regular speed tests are given. Although a minimum speed is required, accuracy is also a very important factor. It has been found that skill is useless without knowing other office routine, and so good secretarial traits are stressed along with posture, neatness and typing technique. [21 1 SHORTHAND Shorthand is perhaps the most important of all commercial subject , although other subjects are important to the perfecting of skill in this study. Shorthand is a difficult subject because it demands a great deal of concentration and study. It requires the work of ear, mind, eye and hand simultaneously, and therefore the pupil must put much effort into the conquering of it. In acquiring this skill, it is first important that he learn how to read it. Therefore, in the beginning of the course, reading alone is done. By the time the student has become familiar with the forms anti outlines, he begins to write. This is taken up slowly in the beginning to assure accuracy. As new words and principles are learned, speed in writing is developed until the rate of 60 words per minute has been reached. This is usually the extent of the first year of shorthand. The second year consists mainly of taking up advanced principles and developing speed to at least 120 words per minute. Of course it is necessary that accuracy be maintained at the same time. To do this the students practice already familiar words and phrases as well as new ones. The proof of shorthand is in the transcription, so practice in that, too, is taken up. Business letters are the chief source of material for this phase of shorthand. Because of its great importance in the business world today, shorthand is stressed to a great extent, but once having learned, it will prove invaluable in all phases of activity. SENIOR ART The Senior Art Class, under the direction of Miss Day, is divided into two classes. In the first year class, the fundamentals of art are taken up. Figure drawing, composition and color schemes are studied. Chalk, ink, pencil, and water colors are the main mediums for the first year students. In both of these classes more emphasis is placed upon action than upon words, for the only test in art is the quality of the drawings. The second year class or advanced students are allowed more freedom in deciding what they wish to do and what materials to use. Ink washes, block prints, models in clay and soap, designs for stained glass windows, and several other interesting articles have been the fruit of this years work. Because of the freedom afforded the art students, their own personal ideas have been expressed in the work. Through the excellent guidance of Miss Day, art during the past year has been very successful, interesting and informative, and will become more so in future years. PROBLEMS OF DEMOCRACY With wars and rumors of wars in the daily headlines. the Problems of Democracy cla has been very interesting and beneficial to the vocational, general, ami academic seniors. With newspapers, periodicals, source books, and “Scholastic” American High School Weekly as texts, the students have studied and analy .ed current events, devices of propaganda, and problems that face a democracy such as ours. Supplementary to the regular P. 0. I), classes under the supervision of Mrs. Blew, Miss Ernest, and Mr. Keller, a course in “Cuidance” was taught by Mr. Schott. Here the pupils became better acquainted with themselves and others from a psychological point of view. Throughout the entire year, this class has proved most interesting. Throughout the entire lives of these students, the knowledge from this class should be put to use in building a better democracy. 8C MATHEMATICS In our math class we have been working on the practical application of elementary Mathematics to the common everyday problems in the arts, in the trades, in business matters, industrial activities and in manufacturing. Our activities give us a better understanding of facts and principals. Measuring, drawing, making models, constructing graphs, ruling and making out accounts and budgets help fit mathematics to everyday life. From wallpaper books we select and calculate the amount of wallpaper needed. Our class discusses and emphasizes the human value of thrift in buying, economy in time, and safety first suggestions, insurance, budgeting, good banking and worthy use of leisure time. We also make computations mentally, without the aid of paper and pencil. JUNIOR HOME ARTS The Home Arts course that is offered in the school has a great many advantages. It gives every girl a chance to learn the essentials of cooking, sewing, budgeting and other helpful hints for homemaking. The girls learn more through the actual experience in the modernized home economics apartment than could possibly be learned through reading and discussion. VOCATIONAL GIRLS The Major Home Economics class has had a successful year. The girls carried out a program that they assembled in .September. The plans were made to provide enough variation in the work to meet the needs of each girl in the class. The program began with an analysis of recipes for party foods, which culminated in a tea. The group enjoyed planning, preparing and serving Christmas dinners in class. Then the girls started making their dresses, wool suits and coats and were proud of being able to wear them for the spring season. An especially interesting unit included a study of the social significance of housing, home improvement, house planning and management. The program was concluded with a home nursing project which proved to he very practical. It is felt that this year’s work in home economics has done much to help each girl to be a better member of her family and better prepared to take the responsibilities of a homemaker. 7C ENGLISH Seventh grade English furnishes the students with many experiences. The aim of this English is to furnish the child with as many and as great a variety of interests and contacts with things and people as is possible. This course does not only-present materials but it also embraces the need for the adjustment which every student needs before learning takes place. There is much need for guidance in expression and it is here that the skills and techniques are used. Many forms of expressions are used such as group discussions, informal speeches prepared speeches, debates, conversations, themes and all forms of written expressions. VOCATIONAL SHOP “A mechanic is born but he isn’t born a mechanic. He must be trained just the same as a lawyer or a doctor.” The Vocational Department offers a diversified course in industrail education, the aim being to pre-part those boys mechanically inclined to be better fitted to enter some trade of industry. With this in mind, the methods of instruction in the shop, in so far as possible, are those that would he emyployed in actual industrial situations and much of the work is done on a production basis. This year, the construction of fine furnitures has been emphasized, ns well as several production projects. [23] 3G AMERICAN HISTORY 'Phis year the study of American history has taken on a new and more serious air. In view of tin1 situation in the world today, students find it necessary to have a thorough knowledge of this subject. Through use of the abundant supply of history ami reference books and under the able guidance of their instructor, they are able to become better acquainted with Democracy, its history and problems. Self-expression is encouraged through maps, charts or any special reports which the student wishes to mak t)ne of the most recent history projects was a mural, depicting the Bill of Rights, which was made by the eleventh grade Academic group. The students now fully realize that by earnest study they can acquire those qualities which go to make better citizens of them. 7TH GRADE SOCIAL STUDIES The theme for the 7th Grade Social Studies is “Progress of Man. ’ In understanding and studying this theme we have studied the following factors: Power. Medicine, Transportation. Industrial, Revolution, Communication, Changing Civilization, spread of Europe into the United States, the rich man of the earth, physical comfort, high standards of living and home of many nationalities and races. The fact that our civilization is a changing one has been stressed. It was also learned that almost every change that has come in the way that people live in the United States was paralleled in other industrial countries by a similar change. 8 A SCIENCE The following are some of the topics and activities that 8A have been studying in Health Science. At the beginning of the course each pupil made a chart by which he could check his daily health habits. Individual foot prints were taken to discover any need for correction of weakened arches and to see if properly fitting shoes were being worn. Some of the topics discussed so far have been concerning muscles and how they work, proper exercise and diet, the body frame work and its use. The class is now studying the nervous system in connection with the subject of “What makes people behave as they do.” We hope through learning about reflex actions, habit formation, instruction and deliberate impulses we may train ourselves to develop better habits of the mind in order to be a more pleasant individual. 8B SOCIAL STUDIES In Social Studies Ula s we do three kinds of work. Some time is spent in individual or group reference work. Reference work is done in the classroom and in the library. After we have found our material we have a class discussion so that everyone will then understand the work. When we have discussed the material enough, we take time to write what we can about the work. At present we are concluding our study of the Industrial Revolution and how it influences our lives today. r 24 ] 4rsy-zdb ■iw £'■ ;? mm l y V ; ; g • ■ ■ Ife :. ACTIVITIES Richard Montgomery High School has had a wide variety of extra-curricula activities. Social Personality period has been set apart for the development of the personality of the student body through many clubs, assemblies and athletics. Through these, the pupils have been able to exercise their talents and develop their interests. The Glee Club, Dancing Club. Handicraft Club. Table Tennis Club, Secretarial and Art Clubs have all contributed to the recreational as well as educational progress. The large program of intra-murals has given the students opportunities to exhibit skillful and sportsmanlike athletics. The Student Government has been very valuable in developing the executive abilities of die students. The various interesting assemblies complete the extra-curricular interests which have helped to make life in Richard Montgomery High School enjoyable. RICHARD MONTGOMERY JUNIOR REPUBLIC One of the most important steps in the development of the student in Richard Montgomery High School was taken seven years ago when Principal L. Fletcher Schott established here a system of government patterned after that of the United States Federal Government. The President of this Junior Republic is elected by the entire student body from senior members of the Citizenship Council. It is his duty to faithfully execute the duties thus falling upon him, and administer to the needs of the pupils through the Vice-President and the Cabinet. The legislative branch was originally composed of a Senate and a House of Representatives, but a year ago it was changed to a one-house legislature. Its leader CONGRESS is the Vice-President. A floor leader is elected from the body, and there are also two clerks who record the business carried on. The court, made up of a Chief Justice and two Associate Justices, a Clerk and a Bailiff constitute the judicial department of the government. Patterned after a juvenile court, the aim is not merely to sentence students who disobey school regulations, but also to help them. [26] CABINET The student government is based on democracy and its basic purpose is to give the students a chance to exercise their executive abilities in learning the essential qualities of an efficient government. It teaches them to recognize the value of democracy and how America is run on that principle. The President of the Richard Montgomery Junior Republic for this school year is Jean Leighton; the Vice-President is Eleanor Leighton. Members of the President’s cabinet are as follows: Secretary of Citizenship, Milton Clogg. He has been very efficient in his position as supervisor of the Patrol Company and has been responsible for its success as an important part of the government. The Secretary of Sportsmanship is Bettie Malone, whose duty it is to sponsor activities promoting Sportsmanship in the school. Margaret Williams, as Secretary of Safety, has proved most capable in looking after the welfare of the students. Secretary of Publications, Jane Ward, has done fine work in the publication of the magazine. [27] Ella Mae Benson has adequately executed her position as Secretary of Social Personality. 1 he difficult office of Secretary of Treasury was filled by Lorraine Bennett. COURT i Members of the Court are: Chief Justice, Nancy Swecker, has efficiently accepted her responsible position and has executed it very well. Associate Justices, Jacqueline Alden and Milton Snapp, have fullv cooperated in making this branch of the government function well. The faculty has been most interested in this student govenrment. Advisor for the Executive branch is Mr. Schott; Mrs. Vogt advises the Legislature, and Mrs. Wilson is advisor of the Judiciary branch. Much progress has been made in the student government in the years of its existance. It has fully accomplished its purpose of educating the student body in the execution of a true democracy. [28 1 I INDOOR PATROL The Indoor Patrol Company, a division of the exeeutive department of the Student Government, earned much praise in the manner in which it enforced the laws made by the student Congress. The patrolmen were courteous but yet firm in the performance of their duties which are not always pleasant. They not only kept disorderly conduct at a minimum, but also did a splendid job in directing traffic through the narrow and dark hallw'ays. The members were as follows: Co-captains Harold Peddicord and James Davis Sergeant Miller Day Corporal Tom Veirs Corporal Karl Richards PRIVATES Ted Ricketts Guy Baker Harold Harmon Ward Wisner Lawrence Williams Donald Cot pard May Snouffer Edward Casiiell Guy Bi rdf.tte Robert Carter Paul Wilson T 29 1 SAFETY PATROL The Outdoor Safely Patrol’s efficiency this year was unsurpassed. Under the competent leadership of Ralth Melton the first half of the year, and Darby Peddicord the last half of the year, the patrolmen performed their duties unerringly. A great deal of respect is due these courageous boys who face all kinds of weather to see that the students safely cross the streets. The Outdoor Patrol cooperated greatly with the Safety Council in helping them promote safety on the buses as well as other outdoor safety phases. The organization this year was made up of such competent hoys as: James Wright Hugh Davis Donald Jenkins John Williamson George Righter Wallace Shoemaker Lawrence Crown George Brigham Paul Burner Sam Carr [30] SAFETY COUNCIL 1 he Safety Council this year was made up of an unusually energetic and active group of girls and boys, all of whom were interested in their work. The Safety Council undertook two large projects this year. One was to help the Outdoor Patrol enforce safety hv educating the students in outdoor safety and the other was to sponsor a safety bicycle club within the school. Fire drills were handled by the Secretary of Safety. Margaret Williams, and the Safety Council aided her by seeing that the school was cleared quickly and efficiently. Mrs. Butz, the safety advisor, showed a great interest in the Safety Council and through her counselling and advice it was able to accomplish many things. 8A Sam Carr 3B Bernice Johnson 8B Robert Carter 12A Bill King 9C Agnes Nichols IOC Stanley O’Neal 9A Irene Vassellieff 7B Frances Bolic 11C Barbara Kirby 7A Ray Ftcheson J2B Evelyn Virts 11A Frankie Hiccins 7C Anson Ball 9B Thad Ingalls [31 ] SENIOR HIGH CITIZENSHIP COUNCIL President RUTH MlLl.KR Vice-President............... .................. Jacqueline Aldk.n Secretary _____ Eleanor I.f.ichton Advisers___________________________ Miss Haukk and Miss Brinton The Citizenship Council was established in 1025, under the direction of Mr. Schott. It was organized to better equip the student for high school life and prepare him for the future role as a citizen of our country. The Council is now under the directidn of Miss Hauke and Miss Brinton. Every year the Council chooses some work which will either improve or help the school. This year it chose Pupil W elfare Work. There have been three drives so far this year. The Red Cross drive was educational. Another drive, held at Christmas, consisted of the white gifts presented by each home room. The last drive was for the benefit of the “Mile of Dimes’ Tuberculosis Campaign. 1 he Council is also planning an activity which will provide money for free lunches. In each of the three drives, emphasis was made to educate the students as to where their money was going and why. The Senior High Citizenship Council is composed of the following: Ella May Benson, Bobby Burdette, Marjorie Jarvis. Eleanor Leighton, Jean Leighton. Beverly Martin, Juanita Nicewarner, Evelyn Orme, Signa Schotroff. Milton Snapp, Nancy Swecker. Betty Unglesbee, John Waits. Ruth Waters, and Margaret W illiams. [32 1 JUNIOR HIGH CITIZENSHIP COUNCIL President Joannk Hick Vice-President Mary I.kk Monday Secretary Dawn Schott Advisor Miss Ernest I his year lh Junior High Citizenship Council of Richard Montgomery High School is celebrating, not a decade of progress, but in its stead six years of progressive organization. It was organized in 1934. with Miss Hauke as the faculty advisor. I he Junior branch of the Citizenship or Key Council, when organized, was modeled after the Senior Council and had much the same theme, which was to sponsor school-wide citizenship. Hie requirements for the Junior Council are so constructed that any good student-citizen who does his best will usually he found to he a member. In past years the Junior Council has promoted many worthwhile projects that have benefited the school as a whole, one of which was the annual “clean up week.” The “clean up week is a week in which the members of the council get the students to help clean up the school. Some activities already put on by the Junior Council are the selling of Christmas Seals for the cure and prevention of tuberculosis and arranging an assembly program to be carried out for George W ashington's birthday. Ihe Junior High Citizenship Council seems to be doing its part to keep Richard Montgomery the “school for citizenship.” I he members of the Junior Council are: Robert Carter, Pauline Creamer. Thomas Day, Edward Deets. Patricia Hawes, Sylvia Katz. Frances Linlhicun, Marion Liuthi-cum. Betty Louthan, Mary Lee Monday. Mary Louise Mullican, Ra Mullican. Mable Perry. Mary Gordon Peter, Joanne Rice Marilyn Ricketts, Dawn Schott. Esther Schwab, Max Snouffcr, Mary Elizabeth Thompson. Dorcas Van Sickle. Mary W;aits. Ruth Woodward. [33] SPORTSMANSHIP BROTHERHOOD President Nancy Swecker Vice-President BkVKRLT Martin Secretary and Treasurer JllANITA NlCEWARNER The Sportsmanship Brotherhood, a member of the National Organization of the same name, emphasizes fair play, scholarship and sportsmanship attitude at all times. On March 6, an assembly was given for the Junior High School with Mr. Barnard Welsh, middle Atlantic States Tennis Champion, speaking on “The Value of Sportsmanship.” He stressed the value of fair play at all times leaving this sentiment with the students, “Win at all costs except one--when it means the loss of your self-respect.” At the annual Sportsmanship Tournament, sponsered by the Sportsmanship Brotherhood, several of the members acted as ushers. The cheering section was led by two members of the Brotherhood. Juanita Nicewarner and Nancy Swecker. The members this year feel that they have accomplished to some extent those things that they set out to do. The members of the Sportmanship Brotherhood are: Nancy Swecker, Margaret Williams, Douglas Rosenberger, Beverly Martin. Jean Leighton, Eleanor Leighton, Margaret Bennett, Evelyn Orme. William McElfish, Hannah Burdette. Rose Marie Wolcott, Boyd Waters, Jaunita Nicewarner. Norman Anders. Ella Mae Benson, Tommy Ray. Bettie Malone. Frank Higgins.

[34] ----------------■ — urn M BACHELORS’ CLUB I he Bachelors Club, under the able direction of Mrs. Bowie, is enjoyed entirely by boys. Each one a confirmed bachelor—for the time-being at least. The boys learn many, varied culinary activities, the knowledge of which has heretofore been possessed almost entirely by girls. Each boy is given an opportunity to decide what food the club shall prepare for a certain meeting. This vear the members of the Bachelors’ Club have prepared such things as biscuits, pies, cookies, puddings and meat dishes. The boys usually work in grou| s, the size of which depends on what is to he made, with Mrs. Bowie giving advice where it is needed. After the food has been prepared and eaten, the members join in washing the dishes and giving the kitchen a general clean-up. Though one of the comparatively newer clubs in Richard Montgomery High School, the enrollment is one of the largest and is steadily increasing. The president of the club is Boyd Waters, vice-president, Douglas Rosenherger and treasurer is Mrs. Bowie. [35] GLEE CLUB The Glee Club, or the singing club, met once a week on Fridays. Its purpose was to allow a place in the curriculum for the pupils to sing all of the songs they liked—old or new. Judging by the large enrollment this club was popular. Everything was sung from “Annie Laurie” to “South of the Border,” and the “Beer Barrel Polka.” I Marjorie Jarvis Betty Waits Florence Louthan Betty Veirs Hawes Keys William Virts Gwendolyn Floyd William King Norman LeRoux John Lytton Ella Mae Benson Oi.ca Miller Alfred Ruth Miller Bobbie Wolcott Laura Miles Marion Hoskinson Bill McElfish Bob Slater Guy Baker Virginia Hawse Margaret Trail Milton Snapp Esther Fraley Mary Louise Notnacle Wilson [36] DANCING CLUB The Dancing Club, with a record enrollment of one hundred ten students has had a very successful year. Such a large group necessitated the direction of three faculty advisors, namely, Mrs. Blew. Miss Ernest, and Mrs. Vogt. Helen Higgins, as president, presided over the meetings. Other officers were as follows: James Dorsey, Treasurer, and Marion Hoskinson, publicity manager. The informal dance periods were conducted with enjoyment and improvement in mind. Records, bought with club funds and played on an electric amplifier, featured popular dance orchestras. A Leap Year Dance sponsored by the club, gave the girls a chance to do the asking and cutting in. MEN 1. John Waits 2. James Burke 3. Andrew Testerman 4. Abell Norris 5. Charles Dronenburg 6.

[37] TABLE TENNIS CLUB Table tennis this year continues to be one of the favorite sports of Richard Montgomery. Several students have been thoroughly trained under the guidance of Mr. Norris. In the school tournament, John Waits won the men’s trophy and Dawn Schott the girls. In the Junior tournament Max Snouffer won the singles trophy. I These boys and girls were chosen as the outstanding Table Tennis players of Richard Montgomery during the 1939-40 season. [38] ASSEMBLIES Under the direction of the Secretary of Social Personality, Ella Mae Benson, the director of Assemblies, Mr. Abell A. Norris, Jr. and faculty member Mrs. Blew, the assembly programmes for the year have been planned. The assemblies were arranged by having the various departments and organizations in the school responsible for a programme. Several very interesting programmes were presented depicting phases of work experienced in the various classes in the school. In addition to department assemblies there were programmes presented by such organizations as the Citizenship Council. School Patrol and Sportsmanship Brotherhood. We were fortunate indeed, in having Mr. Barnard Welsh. Jr., well known tennis player and lawyer, present a speech for the Sportsmanship Assembly. The programmes have been planned and cooperatively carried out entirely by the students, under the direction of a faculty member. Through having student participation which reaches a majority of the pupils by the adoption of department assignments, we have gained a practical and advantageous experience in addressing an audience, which will be of use to us long after our days at Richard Montgomery High School cease. OPERETTA In soite of the setback caused by the fire the students rallied spontaneously and decided to give the operetta as had been planned. As a result of this ‘‘grand” cooperation we were able to overcome all of the difficulties which arose. On May 24 “The Captain of the Guard” was presented to an appreciative audience. Since the operetta was treated in a light, farcical manner everyone cnjo ed a hilarious evening. The proceeds are to furnish the music department in the new building with either a radio or a phonograph. Principals Guy Baker. Margaret Bennett, Ella Mae Benson.

[40] RICHARD MONTGOMERY HIGH SCHOOL This year marks the sixty-fifth anniversary of Richard Montgomery High School. Founded in 1875. it was the only high school in Montgomery County. It has seen new schools established and even though others are larger, it can still boast of fine traditions, a glorious past and high ideals. The original building was located on the Welsh field, at the side of the school, but the school as we knew it was built in 1903. Two additions were later built and in 1929 the gymnasium was constructed. This is one of the finest gymnasiums in the county w'ith a high roof and an excellent floor. In 1918 there w'ere hut 32 students attending Richard Montgomery High School, in 1935 there were 535 and in 1940 we have 000. These figures show the growth both in numbers and service to our community. Recently the school had been improved and made more attractive. In 1939 the Librarv was moved and enlarged. New cases were constructed, the floors were sanded and refinished, and new tables of oak were installed. Along with this many new books were purchased from Parent Teachers' Association funds and County book funds. We were proud of our Library and it was one of the best in the County. The Cafeteria was also improved by new tables, repainting and new cooking equipment. Last, a public address system was installed in several rooms throughout the school. These rooms could be contacted from the ofiice. i On the morning of March 7th the school was consumed by fire. Its contents were lost forever, but memories of this school will linger on and be carried to the new Richard Montgomery High School and out of the ruins of the old school, a newr school will rise, making the third building housing that name. This school, to be located upon the Rockville Fair Grounds, will be modern in every respect. There will be a central unit containing the cafeteria, offices, auditorium, stage and kitchen. Two wings will extend from each side of this, one being the Junior High School and the other the Senior High School. The school will be better illuminated through the use of glass bricks. This has been a brief review of Richard Montgomery High School. It is not difficult to appreciate our school and wish it as much success in the future as it has had in the past. 142] i athletics Believing that mental education is unbalanced without physical education, Richard Montgomery High School has stressed athletics more each year with the result that they play an important part in school life. During the past few years, many new sports have been introduced into the school curriculum, including Intra-murals, Tennis, Volley Ball, Softball, Hockey, Deck Tennis, and Paddle Tennis. In addition to these are the time-honored sports of Soccer, Basketball and Baseball. Soccer and Hockey start the year off in boys’ and girls’ athletics. Although Hockey, as yet, has not aroused the enthusiasm of the student body, it has been growing in popularity. Soccer continues to be the favorite outdoor sport. Basketball steps in and heads the list in popularity as the leading winter sports. The girls’ team proved the outstanding this year, although both Junior and Senior boys’ teams were a credit to the school. Climaxing the season is the annual Sportsmanship Tournament. It is not long before spring athletics are begun, but in the meantime Table Tennis arouses the sportsminded to another tournament. All grades have skilled participants who offer much inter-class competition. Spring brings back baseball. For years a fine team has represented Richard Montgomery in this game. The girls become interested in softball in this season and it too, is growing in popularity. It has been decided definitely to have baseball and Field Day will be held as usual this year. The boys and girls participating in Field Day should nutke a good showing despite the lack of practice. [43] SOCCER With plenty of fight and energy to drive them on. Richard Montgomery’s Soccer players, although inexperienced, managed to wind up over the 500 mark for the season. Nearly half of the boys who reported to Coach Keller in the fall had never played soccer other than in the Intramurals. These boys acquitted themselves very nobly and showed that they can be counted on to strengthen the Orange Tide teams in future years. There was no such things as a starting line up for the entire season, as Coach Keller was forced to shift the players around in order to find where the new ones could play best. I Knowlton Burgee. William Hill. “Duck” Ingalls. “Jack” Clark. “Rod” Monday. “Hack” Koiner, Worley Cheeks and “Joe” Mullineaux were the main strength of the forward line and turned in some very creditable performances. In the backfield Norman Anders. “Hungry” Haynes, “Bob” Slater, “Cliff” Howard. “Ned” Barrett. Julius Mart , “Fred” Ricketts. “Jack” Milor and “Rue” Osmond gave the opponents’ linemen plenty of trouble throughout the year with their long and accurate booting. In the goal was “Sonny” Clogg who, although playing his first year of Soccer, made an excellent showing with his brilliant defensive work. The season’s results were as folows: 4 0 6 4 3 4 1 2 2 2 0 0 0 i 4 4 5 2 Richard Montgomery 2 Maryland Park 0 [44] BOYS’ BASKETBALL Working with what was probably the smallest and greenest basketball xarsity team in the history of the sports at Richard Montgomery, Coach Keller turned out a team that made a good showing. “Tommy” Ray led the team in scoring for the second consecutive year. He rolled up 237 points and placed second among the high school scores in the Washington vicinity. The other forward position was a wide open race among Paul Monday, Lee Hocker and Guy Baker for three-quarters of the season. Coach Keller decided that Baker was his best bet at the last part of the season and the performance that Guy turned in showed that the Coach had made a good choice. Robert Haynes and Worley Cheeks divided the work at center and both proved to be willing and plenty scrappy. Both of these boys should prove a big help to the team next year. A late season scoring spirit placed Norman Anders among the top scorers and proved that a good guard also can be a big help on the offensive. “Bob” Slater handled the other guard post and. although he did not do much scoring, played a good defensive game. Although the reserves did not see action in many of the games, they should be given plenty of credit for their persistence in staying out for the team. Julius Martz. Ike” Grossman, “Bill” McFlfish and Bob” Stiles made up the reserve list. As Slater, Grossman and McElfish will be the only ones to graduate this year, the Orange Tide should be a very strong contender for the Montgomery County title next year. [45] GIRLS’ BASKETBALL This year’s girls’ Varsity, the winners in its division of the twelfth annual Sportsmanship Tournament has left a record for future teams to shoot toward. The team can record the loss of only three games out of the fifteen they played. The motto of this team is one of the reasons for its great success; the motto is “All for one an'd one for all.” No basket was too hard to find with the experienced eyes of “Bev” Martin, “Ev’ Orme, “Happy” Williams, “Gertie” Shoemaker. “Ikie” Meyers and Erwin Brown. No hall was ever too hard to be taken up the floor by those “swell” guards Eleanor Leighton, “Martie” Merry. “Bobby” Wolcott. “Ro” Wolcott. “Tootsie” Benson and “Siggie” Schottroff. The whole team excelled in its excellent pass work. The girls all had “real” team work. Although the team loses all but three of its players by graduation, it still has its spirit, motto and a grand coach, Lucy Trundle, who has won the respect and friendship of all “her girls.” [46] JUNIOR HIGH BOYS’ BASKETBALL Although winning only two out of the eight games played, the Junior High boys showed signs of brilliance in their play. They lost their first game in both the Sportsmanship Tournament and the Leland Tournament. In Leland’s however, they made a very good showing in losing. As four-fifths of the first team will be in the senior high next year, these boys should make a name for themselves on the varsity. Ralph Kidwell and “Jack” Williams played the forward positions most of the time and needed very little relieving. Whenever relief was needed in these positions, “Sam” Gartner and “Monk” Melvin proved very capable. At center Brian Fennel proved himself (|uite capable at getting the ball off the bankboard and also played a good pivot position on the offense. The team had two good guards in “Jack” McF.lfish and “Dan” Hoeker. both of whom were very good on their defensive play. Little Robert Carter did his share when he was in the game and should be one of Richard Montgomery’s future stars. “Tommy” Garrett was one of the best on the reserve list and alternated between the center and left forward positions. Relieving these boys were Ray Waehter. Henry Allnut, “Johnny” Williamson. William Weiger, Harold English. “Bobby” Irwin and Donald Coupard. [47 1 JUNIOR HIGH GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The Junior High Girls' Basketball team was reestablished this year by Coach Irundle. It had a very successful season considering the fact that this was the first year of Basketball for mam of its players and that it was a newly organized team. ' Dolly Anders. Mary Jane koiner and Hilda Havnes make a splendid trio in the forward court while Betty Haynes, “Piggy” Cline and Mary Waits did a “swell” job in holding down the guard court. 1 he reserve strength was furnished by Betty Louthan, Peggy Mills. Dawn Schott and Esther Schwabb. I he future Senior Varsity will benefit greatly by these excellent players who are getting an early start in their basketball career. [48] BASEBALL With first glancing at the tough schedule which Coach Keller arranged and then a look at the players lost either through graduation or through scholastic ineligibility, one can easily see that a tough time is in store for the baseball team. The pitching staff, always of utmost concern in high school Baseball, will be made up of “Bob” Slang, “Bob” Slater. Robert Haynes, “Bob Stiles and John Waits. William Hill, the club’s leading hitter, will be hack at second base and will probably be flanked by Fred Ricketts on the initial sack. Worley Cheeks at shortstop and Norman Anders holding down the hot corner. The three outfield positions will be a wide open race among “Tommy” Ray, “Duck” Ingalls. “Jimmy” Davis, “Rod Monday. “Ned Barrett. “Jimmy” Warfield but the score at the end again showed the opponents victorious, 1-0. and “Hack” Koiner. In the catching department the Orange Tide is going to find considerable trouble. A few of the boys on the squad have caught a little, but it will mean shifting someone from another position. The following schedule has been arranged, of which the highlights should be the games with Roosevelt. Montgomery Blair and Bethesda Chevy-Chase: April 5—Hyattsville April 12 OFeorgetown Prep April 16 Gaithersburg April 19 Montgomery Blair April 22—Maryland Freshmen April 30 Roosevelt May 3—Georgetown Prep May 7- Bethesda Chevy-Chase May 10—Gaithersburg May 11 Shepherdstown May 14—Montgomery Blair May 17—Hyattsville May 21 Dewitt Prep May 24- Bethesda Chevy-Chase [49] HOCKEY Girls’ hockey promises to become one of the leading sports at Richard Montgomery, and this year has seen much development toward that end. An early start gave the squad the much needed practice, although most of the players were fairly experienced. The first game was lost to Hyattsville, 2-0, in spite of the fighting spirit of Richard Montgomery High School students. Hyattsville again proved its superior adeptness at handling the stick and hall when it defeated Richard Montgomery in a game at Maryland University. The score was 1-0. A few days later the Rockville girls clashed with George-Washington High of Alexandria. The final score 0-0, gave evidence of excellent defense on both sides of the field. The third and last game of the season was played on November 14 with the Hyattsville girls as hostesses. Great improvement was indicated by Rockville’s team but the score at the end again showed teh opponents victorious, 1-0. Positions held on this year's forward line were: Center forward Inner Wing Inner Wing Center halfback Right halfback Left halfback Right fullback Left fullback Goalee Substitute________ .“Tootsie” Benson ....Beverly Martin SlGNA SCHOTTROFF fm; Anders ..............Eleanor Leighton “Happy Williams ........................... Mary Forsburg Martha Merry ... Rose Marie Wolcott ........Barbara Wolcott Betty Ann Clark Erwin Brown and Florence Lolthan Although the season could not be called successful in regard to games won, it was successful in that a stronger and more experienced team was developed. In addition to learning the rules of the game, valuable hitting, passing and stopping techniques were learned. The team was indeed fortunate in having such an expert couch as it did this year and good hockey teams are hound to be the result of such efficient guidance in this phase of Montgomery athletics. [50] INTRAMURAL PROGRAM The intramural program has been expanded as to inelude the ninth and tenth grades. Last year competition was held for only the seventh and eighth grades. During the fall season leagues were organized in Soccer and Volley Ball. Every Tuesday all the hoys and girls in the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth grades gathered on the Welsh Field to compete in these leagues. Each home room section organized its own team, elected a manager and captain and made all the necessary arrangements in getting the team ready to play. The enthusiasm shown by the hoys and girls in these games indicates that the program merits even further expansion. It is hoped that when the new building is erected, facilities will be made available which will be conducive to the promotion of a program which will involve the entire student body. The sports offered thus far have necessarily been limited because of the lack of time and facilities. “Intramurals,” however, have been established as a popular part of the extra curriculum and no doubt the student demand will lead to a more extensive and diversified program in the future. [51 ] Aside from the entertainment and recreational values, other important outcomes are to be recognized. Many of the students who would ordinarily never come to know each other have an opportunity to become well acquainted through their association in the intramural program. “Cliques” and “gangs” so evidently predominant in so many schools are avoided through this association. Many who do not compete in varsity competition are given a chance to participate and satisfy their i desires to play in an organized game. The opportunities afforded by the program are many and the possibilities are unlimited. [52] Ward Bros. A Friend Pleasant Hills Farms Johnson’s Ser. Sta. The Parsons Co. Edna E.
