CLASSES “Progress and Education” lias been thoroughly exemplified this year in the classes of Richard Montgomery High School. 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]
