Foreword Ihc authors have aimed to present a yearbook that will endow its readers with memories of their youth in the simplest and most direct way. 1 he material in this hook is the result of student endeavors in writing, com- piling and organization. 1 his publication represents the year’s accomplishments, activities and learnings. In recognition of the small enrollment, individual class pictures have been added. The opportunity has been taken to rearrange photographic matter and, because of this, more pictures have been included. The authors arc indebted for helpful suggestions to numerous students and teachers who have made this Rocket more interesting to the reader. THE AUTHORS JJciUcatunt To Memories Of A Devoted Principal The death of Mr. I,. Fletcher Schott on May twenty-fourth, left a vacancy which will he indeed difficult to fill. His kindness, patience and understanding has been known to us all through his fifteen years of service at Richard Montgomery. It is to be regretted that Mr. Schott will not be able to continue his faith- ful service in the new Richard Montgomery High School in which will be formu- lated so many of the dreams he has long planned for his new school.

We do this because we believe that it is a necessary factor in our democracy and its im- portance should he stressed at every opportunity. In classes and organizations it plays a vital part as the success of any group depends upon the greatest number of people being satisfied. This is only possible by the free expression of opinions and a decision made which coincides with the majority of desires. It is our duty to use but not abuse this greatest of all privileges which we have. To say what we think is fine, but it is equally important to think something worthwhile, so that we will not be guilty of using our freedom of speech for detrimental purposes: gossip, if not actual slander, untruths about someone or something because they, no matter how fine, are not squarely in line with our views. Instead, let uk use our freedom of speech as an element of good for a good purpose. Say the most favorable things you can about those who are in opposi- tion to you. Use it as an instrument to get you what you want but use it cleanly and fairly. Freedom of speech is an exclusive right of this country. Let us use it as a shining weapon in our fight toward the right.

History Of The Class Of 1941 In 1935 the 7th grade class met to select the name they would be known by for the coming six years. From the names available “Baltimore” was chosen. Through eighth grade problems, ninth grade graduation and on into senior high they marched, gathering laurels all the way. They starred in dramatics, ath- letics and student organizations and their scholastic records were worthy of such a class. Now “Baltimore,” the class of -ll, is facing a much larger and more formid- able world than they prepared to conquer six years ago. I low will they meet it? With the same courage, idealism, laughter and confidence that they have used so successfully in the past? We think so, and from the bottom of our hearts, we wish them all the good fortune in the world. Last Will And Testament Class Of 1941 Alice Ricketts wills her coiffure to Audrey Coffin.

I2C PROBLEMS OF DEMOCRACY The Problems of Democracy class has two objectives: first, to help each student to make the most of his potentialities and to develop an atractive well-rounded personal- ity; second, to afford each member of the class an opportunity for investigation and discussion of the vital issues of our national life. Thus the class combines the aims of service to the individual and to the com- munity. Emphasis is placed upon the im- portance of clear thinking and the neces- sity of guarding against propaganda. Since the theme for the year has been Democ- racy.” every effort has been made to stress the blessings of liberty in a democracy as contrasted with the regimentation in a to- talitarian state. 12C SHORTHAND Perhaps the most important of all com- mercial subjects, shorthand is difficult be- cause it demands great concentration in the work of car, mind, eye and hand simul- taneously. As the Mercury of the business world,” stenography calls for great skill and ac- curacy. For the perfection of skill in the study, the principles must be learned, the phrases carefully combined and the brief forms mastered. After these are conquered, speed is the main objective. Business Eng- lish is integrated into the course to pro- vide well-rounded secretarial skill. Because of its great importance in the business world, this study of shorthand is stressed and proves invaluable to the stu- dent who has completed the course. 12VG ENGLISH The twelfth grade English class is con- centrating on improvements in reading, writ- ing. and speaking by reviewing every phase of grammar, realizing that it is important to speak and write correctly, regardless of one’s occupation. Much time has been spent becoming ac- quainted with biographies of prominent peo- ple in all fields and professions. Reading periods one day a week enable the students to keep abreast of the times with periodicals, newspapers, and modern literature. The last few weeks of school were emploved improv- ing public speaking techniques with emphasis upon slow, clear speaking, good posture, and varied expression. The English class feels that this program has successfully filled some aps that ex- isted in former English curricula. 11C BOOKKEEPING 'I'his year the 11C group is learning the personal, social, and economic values of this study. Throughout the teaching of this sub- ject. emphasis is placed upon fundamental bookkeeping principles. At the same time, the importance of accurate work and the use of desirable business traits is not over- looked. The course began with the explanation of the need for records. The material for the course was organized as follows: Personal Records, Banking Procedure and Business Papers, Business Bookkeeping. Bookkeeping for the Professions, and Income Tax and Vocational Opportunities. 11C has thoroughly learned that the five basic steps in bookkeeping are: Journalizing the transaction, posting the ledger, taking a trial balance, preparing the business state- ments, and adjusting and closing the records. AMERICAN HISTORY The 11C' History Class has been made as interesting as possible by varying the meth- ods of study. At times, material from texts and references were read and discussions held about the information found there. In this way the subject matter was made thoroughly familiar and any difficult points clearly explained. At other times, each mem- ber of the class was held responsible for certain data which was then given over to general class use. Geographical and polit- ical development of the country, important and interesting places and the reason for their interest, have all been presented to the class in an entertaining manner. The class will tell anyone that it is pos- sible to enjoy history a great deal, if en- thusiasm and interest are applied to the study of our countrv’s past. 10A ENGLISH The stressing of institutions in second year Academic English has been the main object since September. It was decided that by learning to speak effectively, by reading for work and recreation from novels, by writing as a means of communication, by improving family culture with good literature, by in creasing the vocabulary, by organizing ideas with stress on the paragraph, and by study- ing other institutions in relation to these phases of the study of English, that much would be accomplished during 1940-1941. The most successful activity of the year was a project containing a survey of all in- formation gained on the Family which was sent to Mrs. Schneider, County Supervisor, who had worked with the tenth grade on the theme of Institutions. 10B BIOLOGY I'hc 101� Biology Class took for their part of the theme, “Familv Life,” better health. I his was accomplished by studying frogs, fish and other biological specimens and then comparing them with pictures and descrip- tions of the human body. By seeing foods digested in the test tubes, it is easier to understand how it is done in the body. Interesting aliases of the course dealt with the environment of plants and animals, the way they are dependent on each other, and we on them. Some animals formed very interesting partnerships. Pleasure was added to the course by put- ting on a play called ‘‘Old Stuff, depicting prehistoric animals and life. At the end of the course, the class con- cluded that everythin� ' in biology led back to Family Life. tbeir theme. 10G ELEMENTARY BUSINESS I he aim of the 10G elementary business class this vear was to give the student a dear understanding ot business functions ♦hat supnly the necessities of life, to make the student realize that business plays an important part in evervone’s life and to pro- vide the student with knowledge of business and consumer skill, that he mav be a bet- ter citizen. The activities of the class have been most- ly research and discussion. They have stud- ied: Money, investments and savings, checks, insurance, communication, filing and index- ing. correspondence and salesmanship. To determine the value of insurance, they drew posters and saw movies. In addition to the activities, they learned the spelling and definitions of words neces- sarv to business. The completion of the course was the study of business organization. 9A ALGEBRA The 9A algebra class has one supreme objective—to acquaint themselves with the symbolism and simple methods of algebra. Reading is the basis of algebra. To be able to interpret algebra, one must be able to understand what he reads. Algebra is very different from arithmetic in many ways. For example: In arithmetic one uses the problem to get the answer; In algebra one sometimes gets the problem by using the answer. The class has studied formulas, equations, positive and negative numbers, fundamental operations, special products, factoring equa- tions, fractional equations, graphs, sets of linear equations, and proportions. “Algebra is a symbolism invented to help man in bis thinking.” 9B ENGLISH Students in the ninth grade are faced with a peculiar situation. By some thev are con- sidered seniors in junior high school; others look upon them as freshmen in senior high school. Their work, likewise, can be called a combination of two things; a review and summary of the subject matter learned in previous years .and a preview and introduc- tion to work to come in senior high school. Because written and oral expression will become more widely used by them in future years, the ninth grade tries to master the basic foundations of English grammar and gain an understanding of the formation of the sentence. In literature, the class concentrates on the short story and the essay which can be used as foundations for future study. One period a week is set aside for free reading to give each student a chance to follow his own in- dividual tastes in literature. 7A SOCIAL STUDIES Social Studies help us learn how modern ways of living have improved over old ways. We are told of different stages of improve- ment. For instance, in the days of Neolithic Man, homes were heated and lighted by fires at the entrances of the caves where men lived. But men saw that these fires did not do much good, because very little of the heat or light went inside the cave. Then they put the fire inside the cave, made a hole in the roof to let out smoke, and finally made a chimney of hides stretched over poles. Much later came furnaces and stoves, for heating, and candles and lamps for light- ing. We have also learned about transportation, communication, and the many uses of fire in our time. To learn about these subjects we first ask questions about them and read our textbooks to find the answers. 7B ENGLISH Why do we have English anyway? What have we been learning? These have been the questions in the minds of our seventh grade students since the beginning of school last fall. Well, for one thing, learning how to make correct sentences has been our principal subject in grammar and is very interesting. Sentences arc merely a tool for expressing ourselves, in speaking and writing. Understanding the structure of language is important. It has been lots of fun see- ing how our sentences can build up and express such clear, complete thoughts. Clear expression in writing, such as spelling and punctuation has been an important subject. Every day we have tried to get in some literature and we have certainly learned to get enjoyment and appreciation of the best examples of expression from our reading. -an I CABINET This year has been one of experiment for the student government since it is the first year in which an entirely new cabinet has been installed at mid-term. This change was instituted to increase student participation in the school’s government. The Presidency of the Richard Montgom- ery Junior Republic is held by Milton Clogg. '1 he members of the President’s Cabinet are as follows: Jack Clark and Mildred Coleman hold the position of Secretaries of Citizenship. '1 he fine assemblies that have been pre- sented before the student body have been under the direction of the Secretaries of Ac tivities, Nancy Pratt and Frances Jones. Ned Barrett and Paul Ward have done fine work in ably filling the office of Sec- retaries of Safety. The position of Secretaries of the Treasury has been held by Erwin Brown and Alice Lechlider. The Cabinet also acted as Student Coun- cil, a body created to help correct any prob- lems which arise concerning pupil decorum. CONGRESS Congress is composed of a student repre- sentative from each homeroom, elected at the beginning of the year. These various representatives meet as one body. A speak- er is elected from the Congress to serve as floor leader. “Teddy” Ricketts has done a very efficient piece of work this year in this capacity. To fit the laws of the school to the con- ditions of the school, was one of the tasks Congress faced this year. It studied each problem and made laws, or changed old law’s, to fit various situations as efficiently as possible. SAFETY COUNCIL The Safety Council is an active and neces- sary organization in the school. Under the leadershi- of Ned Barrett, President of the C ouncil. there have been brought about the removal of many safety hazards, and the installation of safety aids. Fire drills are conducted with the utmost care, and rules for leaving the building in the shortest possible time arc set up for the students. Working in cooperation with the patrol, the Council has established traffic systems which get the pupils to class on time with a minimum of disorder and acci- dents. The Council is composed of representatives from each homeroom, and is under the di- rection of the Secretary of Safety. It has been an unobtrusive but essential part of the administration. THE PATROLS INDOOR: This year there has been a complete change in the Indoor Patrol, whose co-captains are Jack Clark and “Tommy” Ray. Formerly, it acted as a police organiza- tion to arrest wrong-doers: today, it acts as a body to direct traffic and prevent mis- deeds. rather than make arrests. In spite of bad conditions, the patrol has done an excellent job. which would have been impossible without the complete cooperation of the student body and Mr. McClung, the advisor. OUTDOOR: The outdoor patrol, spon- sored by the American Automobile Associa- tion. has done fine work in protecting the safety of the students. Whether in the bus, or on the street corner, the patrol is always alert for passing cars which might threaten the pupil’s safety. In fair weather or foul, it is always ready to do its part in making the school and its surroundings a safer place for the students. CITIZENSHIP COUNCIL The Citizenship Council is an honorary society established with the purpose of in- spiring good conduct, courtesy and a spirit of cooperation in school activities. From the ninth grade, former members of the Junior High Council were welcomed into the organization. A tea was given in their honor, to which the principal and fac- ulty were invited. The officers are as follows: President, Nancy Pratt; Secretary. Mary Louise Mul- lican: Advisor, Miss Brinton. SPORTSMANSHIP BROTHERHOOD It is the aim of the Sportsmanship Broth- erhood to promote and foster the spirit of fair play throughout the school. This in- cludes sportsmanship in the school as well as on the athletic field. The Richard Mont- gomery chapter, a member of the Interna- tional Organization, is one of the very few in this section of the country. A highlight of the year’s program was the presence of Mr. Daniel Chase, execu- tive secretary and one of the original in- stigators. on Februarv fourteenth, when he addressed the local chapter and praised its work. The Thirteenth Annual Sportsmanship Brotherhood Tournament was held at Be- thesda-Chevy Chase High School because the gymnasium as Rockville was not avail- able as a result of the fire. This was the first time in the history of the Tournament that a losing team has won the trophy. Richard Montgomery did this when it was defeated by St. John’s in the final game; yet the odd scoring system gave the cup to the conquested Orange Tide quint. The officers are as follows: President, Erwin Brown; Vice-President, Milton Clogg; Secretary. Dawn Schott; Publicity Agent, Jack Clark. THE MONTGOMERY TIDE Edited by a staff of ninth graders and but two seniors, the first issue of the Tide was good, hut the last showed great im- provement. Poets were discovered in com- mercial groups; new columns were added; the exchange and music columns were wel- comed by all with praise; the standing col- umns were improved; the society column was revised to “Eds and Coeds,” the sports section was enlarged; and the editorial page was made more interesting by “Letters to the Editor.” The Tide was enrolled in the National Scholastic Press Association which, in its survey, accredited it among the best news- magazines of its type. 1 hrough the Tide, the entire student body has been kept abreast of the news, presented in a light, simple and interesting manner. BANK The Bank functions for the purpose of making the pupils of Richard Montgomery High School learn and appreciate the use of a bank, and to give them the privileges of a citizen in respect to handling their money as would an adult. It also affords the workers in the bank, who are members of the Banking and Arithmetic Class, an opportunity to learn and transact the busi- ness of the hank. Each worker knows how to do every job efficiently and can officiate during the absence of another. The Richard Montgomery High School Bank is a branch of the Farmers Banking and Trust Company, chartered in 1928. It operates as would any bank, having its stockholders, directors and president; and affords the students, teachers and school activities the advantage of checking and savings accounts. DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club has prospered this year under the guidance of Mr. Kullmar. It has given several presentations during the school term. In December. “The Promoters,” a three- act comedy, was offered to a filled auditor- ium. “Not Quite Such a Goose.” a one- act comedy, was presented over station WFMD in Frederick. “He Ain't Done Right by Nell and “She Was Only a Farmer’s Daughter were given in the auditorium in April. One-act plays have been given in the club for the benefit of the members. Much has been accomplished this year, and every- one is looking forward to next year, when a higher goal will be set. THE JUNIOR DRAMATIC CLUB Under the supervision of Miss Gottschall, a seventh grade dramatic club was organized at the beginning of the second semester. All the members have been enthusiastic about and interested in all types of work related to dramatics. The club worked on a short comedy entitled At The Movies which was presented in assembly. Other members of the group spent their time in reading and working on various other plays. In ad- dition to reading and rehearsing plays, some time was spent discussing scenery, make- up and characterizations as they related to the chosen plays. Several poems and short stories were read aloud by members of the group, and several of the girls spent a con- siderable amount of time writing an original play which was given to the club members. DANCING CLUB The dancing club under the direction of Mr. Long, Miss Brinton. and Miss Trundle, the Mondav advisors: Mr. Keller and Miss Baker. Friday advisors; is one of the most successful clubs in the school. Popular mu- sic is furnished by records bought with club donations. Mr. Long has been a definite asset to the club. Under his expert guidance the dancers have become proficient in such steps as “La Conga and the “Rhumba. Not only the students, but also members of the fac- ulty. have benefited greatly by his teaching. Although the South American dances have predominated, the dancers have not confined themselves to these alone. Anything from the waltz to the ultra-modern “jitterbug” can be seen. If the saying “Practice Make Perfect is true, the dancing club most certainly is a successful one. BOWLING CLUB The bowling club, sponsored by Miss Hil- ton. affords as much, or more, wholesome exercise and enjoyment as any club in the school. Boasting an enrollment of thirty-two mem- bers. the entire club was taken each Mon- day to Gaithersburg. This was made pos- sible by the use of cars belonging to boys in the club. Although the champion of the bowling alleys does not have to worry about the loss of his supremacy, the members have learned enough to keep in step with “Mr. Average, and some do even better than that. The club officers were: President. Milton Ulogg: Vice-President. Worley Cheeks; Sec- retary. Barbara Kirby. ART CLUB During the year, the Art Club, under the guidance of Miss Day, has accomplished many different things. Meeting every Friday afternoon, the club has covered everything from figure sketch- ing to original drawings. Often a student poses while the others sketch from real life, as well as photographs. Perspective and proportion are also important elements. Five weeks were spent on title-page draw- ings for the Rocket. These drawings were entirely original and were designed to com- plement the theme of the yearbook. They were drawn roughly on paper first, then traced on melton mount and shadowed with lithograph pencil and ink. The aim of the Art Club is not to turn out artists, but to develop artistic ability in those pupils who are interested. SHOPS Although no organized shop club as such exists, the metal and woodworking shops do form a vital center of school activity for those vocational students who through the learning gained in these shops become bet- ter equipped to take an active part in a chosen vocation following high school grad- uation. Since so much student activity and interest does spring from these shops, it seems only right to include in the activity section of this Rocket a photograph and mention of the Richard Montgomery High School Shop Department. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB This year the Home Economics Club sent two delegates to the Convention of Mary- land High School Home Economics Clubs at the University of Maryland. The Confer- ence was held in the Administration build- ing and the two delegates were shown through the new Home Economics building and the Kossberg Inn. After lunch the vis- iting girls were taken for a visit to Green- belt. The report and discussions following this conference were of great value and in- terest to all the club’s members. Other club meetings have been spent in various ways. At Hallowe’en, a party was held: one meeting was spent in demonstrat- ing the correct ways to apply make-up; Mrs. Vitale addressed one meeting on “The ('are of the Hair and the Skin,” before Christmas the members of the club prac- ticed ways to wrap fancy packages and otherwise decorate for the festive season. In the second semester most of the club’s time was occupied by sewing, knitting and crocheting. GIRL’S GAMES CLUB Those girls who are not in gym classes and who are unable to stay after school to participate in varsity athletics, have organ- ized a girls’ game club in which bowling, darts, table-tennis, volley-ball, horsehoes and jump-rope are the order of the day. These indoor sports provide a sufficient amount of exercise and are not so strenuous as basketball, and hockey which arc ex- cluded from this club.

They suffered their only set-back at the hands of a powerful Alumni team in one of the night games. In winning five games, tying one, and losing one. the Orange Tide” clinched the mythical county championship when they defeated all county opponents. With a fast line and a strong backfield. Richard Montgomery developed a well- balanced eleven. The loss to the Alumni team broke a five game victory streak of the “Tide team.” The Alumni team was composed of a former “Orange Tide” class that was too big and strong for the Richard Montgomery team. The final score was 3-2. - The team was made up of: “Dick” Swartzbeck, Paul Monday. Thad Ingalls,_______ Guy Baker. “Jimmy” Koiner. Jack Clark, Jack Williams, and Lawrence Cecil, all of whom played in the line. In the backfield were: Fred Ricketts, Norman Anders, Julius Martz.

Basketball Playing the strongest schedule ever attempted, the ‘‘Orange Tide” came through a tough 23 game schedule with 9 wins and 1 1- losses. The high point of the season was tin great showing of the team in the final game of the Sportsmanship Tournament. The “Orange Tide” was defeated by St. John’s in a thrilling final game 34-34, but won the trophy when St. John’s made more fouls than Richard Montgomery. The “Orange Tide” colors were carried by a veteran team with “Tommy” Ray, the leading scorer, and Paul Monday at forward. “Dick” Schwartzbeck at center, and Julius Mart , and Guy Baker, the guards. The team was supported by “Jack” Williams, “Bill” Virts, Worley Cheeks, Jack Clark, and Lee Hocker. BASEBALL SQUAD Top Row—Left to Right: Tommy Rav. Norman Anders, Guy Baker, Jack Milor. William Virts. Worley Checks. John Bell. Teddy Ricketts, Harold Harmon, Henry Miles. First Row: Robert Stiles. Wallace Kirby, Eugene Schwartzbeck. William Bar- rett. Thad Ingalls.

The infield was made up of Worley Cheeks at first. Wallace Kirby at second, Henry Miles at short, and Norman Anders at third base. In the outfield. “Tommy Ray, Thad Ingalls, and Fred Ricketts played left, right, and center field respec- tively. “Dick” Schwartzbeck was catcher, and Paul Monday started the first game as pitcher. The reserve strength was made up of Guy Baker, Harold Har- mon, Bill” Barrett, John Bell. “Bill” Virts. “Teddy” Ricketts, and “Bob Stiles who was the only pitcher left from last year. The leading games were with Roosevelt, Bethesda, Eastern, Coolidge, and Briarley. Intramurals The Intramural program has been an excellent means of teaching both boys and girls the importance of cooperation and sportsmanship. Under the guidance of Miss Trundle and Mr. Keller, every class participated in such games as schlogg and volley ball for the senior girls’ classes, schlogg and dodge ball for the junior girls' classes, softball and soccer for both senior and junior boys’ classes. Beginning in the fall, ceasing with the cold weather, renewed in the spring, the intramurals have been an outstanding success. GIRLS’ HOCKEY Left to Right: Barbara Kirby.

Girls’ Hockey Some might say that the hockey season was not very successful, but he would find himself strenuously disagreed with by the members of the hockey team. Althought it found itself on the wrong side of the score card after ever game, except for one scoreless tie, the team is proud of its good sportsmanship and clean playing. Through defeat it remembered Richard Montgomery as “the school for citizenship” and showed its respect for that motto. The majority of the team were newcomers, but showed promise in teamwork and dexterity. Miss Trundle, the coach, is looking forward to next season and an opportunity to show the ability of this team. Girls’ Basketball With only three veterans. Erwin Brown. Barbara Wolcott and Ella Mae Benson, an otherwise younger team faced a difficult season. Sticking to the motto “All for one and one for all.” the girls’ varsity played hard and cooperatively, excelling in pass work. The percentage of charity throws was high, while the field goals whipped the cords at a steady rate. A truly great season, another should be realized next year, with the trained players that remain.
