Eloise Schneider i Senior Key Society The Senior Key Society is the honor organization whose members have attained high scholastic and citizenship averages. These grades must be maintained throughout the year and earn for the students certain privileges. Though small in membership, the society, sponsored by Miss Will, is prominent in school activities; for it sponsors entertainments, backs all drives and campaigns, and holds various social and educational functions. From the Senior Key Society the president of the Student Government is nominated. Harriet Browning is president of the society which has for its other members: Barbara Adamson. Anson Ball. Xancy Beverage, Calista Butt. Gladys Garland. Tommy Greene. Jerry Johnson, Danetta Louthan, Betty Jo Marshall. Rosalie Xichols, Frances Ray, Jean Robertson. Anna Ruffo, Mary Howes. Anna Stevens. Carolyn Williams. Fred Wilson, Harold Smith. Mary Poole, Doris Staver and Isabel Dicks. Tide Staff Issued twice monthly, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Christie, the Tide is the school newspaper, entirely written and published in the school. Student reporters cover games, assemblies, drives, campaigns and daily school news. As an economy measure, we have mimeographed our paper at school rather than having it professionally printed. The staff, supervised by Harriet Browning, secretary of publications, is composed of: Roberta Abrams, Elizabeth Cay wood. Millicent Cooper. Philip Ciates. Roger Price. Barbara Seifert, Sally Walther. Calista Butt. Isabel Dicks. Gladys Garland. Doris Staver and Evelyn Woodford. I lie center of leadership in our school has always been the Student Government. ' For the past two years, the Cabinet and the Senate have been combined into a victory Council; this year, however, we returned to the original plan of two separate bodies. Occasionally, the two meet jointly. Decisions and plans are made by the Senate, while the Cabinet endeavors to put these into effect. Barbara Seifert, as president of the Student Government, presides over the Cabinet, which is composed of the following: Secretory of Social Activities........Betty Jo Marshall Secretary of Athletics...................Wendell Turner Secretary of Welfare.....................Danetta Louthax Secretary of Assemblies.............................Mary Shelton Secretary of Community Relations............Jane Conner Secretary of Publications..........................Harriet Browning Secretary of School Property.................Isabel Dicks Secretary of War Activities.......................Barbara Adamson Secretary of Safety.................................George Hathaway Mrs. Christie is the faculty adviser. The Senate meets twice monthly under the jurisdiction of Rosalie Nichols, vice-president of the Student Government. Its membership is composed of one representative from each homeroom. Senators and their respective homerooms are as follows: 12.................................. NISON I!

R. M. H, S. Patrol It has l eeii the purpose of tiie Patrol to make this school a school for citizenship and to keep before the eyes of all students a sense of inner pride and responsibility for a clean, healthy and orderly school; a school where learning to live for others and with others is the keynote to a future success. George Hathaway is captain of the patrol which has for its faculty sponsor Mr. Comlv. The annual baseball game drew our attention away front books and halls, but we felt that for our efforts we deserved this relaxation. A party especially for the patrol also took our interest. 4 H Club Under the supervision of Mr. Roscoe Wliipp, assistant agricultural agent for Montgomery County, a large and active 4-II hoys' club functions in R. M. H. S. The group meets twice monthly for the purposes of planning farm projects, discussing agricultural methods, and learning the latest and best techniques in rural living. Officers are the following: William Pumphrey...........,............. President Harry Baker ........................ Vice-President Wendell Day ............................. Secretary Donald Butt ............................. Treasurer M Club This year, for the first time, a boys’ athletic club was organized as a counterpart to the Girls’ Athletic Association. Together they plan and supervise the various athletic events of the school. Their chief joint activity during the past year was the sponsoring of the annual Sportsmanship Basketball Tournament. This group was appropriately named the “M” Club because only those boys who have won a varsity letter are entitled to membership. Sponsored by Mr.| Matthews, the club lias for its president Jack Freeburger. Other members include: Ray Luhn, vice-president; Carroll Mullican. secretary; Harold Mullican. treasurer; Bill Cruickshank, sergeant-at-arms; Howard Bailey. Anson Ball. Jack Cubitt. W iley Dobbins. Oscar Dodd, Harry Duckworth. Ward Fetrow, Irving Fling. Phil Gates. Tommy Greene. George Hathaway, Raymond Jones. Lawrence Matthews, John F. Poole. John T. Pool, Jack Rice. Wendell Turner. Harold Smith and Fred Wilson. Girls' Athletic Association Girls in the senior high school who are interested in the school's athletic program may become members of the Girls’ Athletic Association, which is sponsored by Miss Will. Our aim is to create more interest in athletics and to promote better sportsmanship. Most of the members are front the basketball team and the cheering squad. Our most important activity this year was the organizing and sponsoring of the interschotl basketball tournament. Officers are: Betty Jo Marshall, president; Janet Miller, vice-president; Lorraine Kitts, secretary; Gladys Garland, treasurer. Other members are: Mary Ellen Barry, Harriet Browning. Alice Marie Burroughs. Marie Coffey. Alice Collins. Jane Conner. Eleanor Dangler. Isabel Dicks. Mary Fraley. Gladys Garland. Mary llowes. Lorraine Kitts. Louise Kitts. Jane Kohlenberg. Rosalie Xichols, Hazel Perry. Janet Rice. Anna Ruffo and Evelyn Woodford. Senior (Glee Clnb The Senior High Glee Club, meeting weekly during the year, has devoted its time to learning new selections for various school and community programs. Christmas music. VE Day songs and commencement music have been the most important phases of work this year. Louise Kitts is president of the (dee Club and Hazel Lechlider is secretary-treasurer. Junior Glee Club A large, enthusiastic group of students joined the Junior High Glee Club this year. They have met every other week during the year to learn songs appropriate for assemblies and other types of programs. Miss Thomas is director of the club: Lucinda Hamilton is president; and David Waters is secretary-treasurer. rouch Football Team Football season at R. M. H. S. began four weeks late. Our new coacli took over bis duties on October 16, with only five days in which to teach, train and prepare plays. Our toughest games were against Sherwood and Poolesville. both of which ended in o-o ties. The squad, coached by Mr. Matthews, was composed of: Ball. Turner, Rice. Wilson). Fleming. Poole. Jones. Cruickshank. Cubitt. Greene. Linthi-cum. King. Ray. Howes, Nicholson. C. Mullican, H. Mullican. Hathaway, Luhn. Beane. Dobbins. Gates, Smith, Magruder. Darcey. Pool, b'etrow. Dodd, HuflFer and Carter. Next year our aim is to have a tackle team: but we are sure that their spirit and enthusiasm cannot excel the spirit and enthusiasm of this year's squad. With only three letter men from last season and a large squad of inexperienced recruits, our basketball prospects seemed none too bright at the beginning of the season. Xor did our first few games brighten the picture. With each game, however, there came experience and more knowledge of the game: in the middle of the season we began to click and won eight of our last ten games. Besides the usual varsity and junior varsity teams, there was organized a freshman team which will give a good account of itself on next year's varsity and junior varsity teams. Squad members were: Bailey, Greene. Ball. Rice. Ilowes, Ray. Wilson, Linthicum, Stiles. Fetrow, Poole, Luhn, Dodd. Turner. C. Mullican and H. Mullican. The manager was W iley Dobbins. Girls7 Basketball I lie girls varsity team, winner of the 1944 basketball tournament, will not only be remembered and spoken of as a team with good skill and team work, but it w ill also be remembered as an outstanding team for sportsmanship. Xo basket was too hard to make when the forwards, Captain Louise Kitts. Lorraine Kitts and Evelyn Woodford, were playing; nor was anv ball too hard to carry down the floor when we had such guards as Alice Collins. Harriet Browning, Mary Ellen Barry and Betty Jo Marshall. Miss ill. our faculty sponsor, also deserves much credit. The G. A. A. has the responsibility of selecting the cheer leaders each year. The choice is based on competitive tryouts, open to everyone. Louise Kitts was the captain of this year's group and the sponsor was Mr. Comly, who has worked untiringly in the interest of better school spirit. Cheer leaders are: Evelyn Woodford. Janet Miller. Hetty Jo Marshall. Louise Kitts, Marie Coffey and Lorraine Kitts. Class Will We. I lie senior class of '45. being 4-l's and feeble-minded, and realizing that e are about to depart from R. M. II.

Stevens Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Waters R. 11. Watkins Robert M. Williams George A. Wilson. II lames W. Wilson R. M. Wood At last world fame and recognition are mine. It is hardly believable that only a year ago I was a comparatively unknown person who enjoyed trying to make successful inventions. I have been a busy girl since my graduation. working at numerous devices, mechanisms and inventions; acting as President of Cruelty to Centipedes. Flies, Wasps, and Ants Club; and instituting a school for the Near-sighted, the Club-footed and the False-toothed. But my inventions fascinate me most, and I am very proud of mv latest. It all started when, one day, after wondering what had become of the R. M. H. S. graduating class of 1945. I asked myself. “Why don’t you get busy and invent something that would enable you to see anybody, anywhere. anytime? . The more I thought about it, the more enthusiastic I became. After putting together a piece of old stove pipe and a few mirrors. I had my completely perfected See All. Anywhere, Anytime. The following is the record of what I was able to find about the class of 1945: I first turned my instrument to the metropolis of New York City. Here I learned that Anna Stevens has charge of a modeling agency. Eleanor Dangler and Hazel Perry belong to this agency and model their own clothes. Barbara Adamson is modeling for Sta-L’p Water Wings. Also at this establishment is the other Stevens (Mildred), who shows the models how to keep their hair red. And there at the Peek-In Theater are those two irresistible lovelies. Evelyn Woodford and Mary Ellen Barry. All of this set me to thinking what the old town of Rockville is like. So I switched my See All, Anywhere, Anytime a little to the right. Hm— wonder who that determined looking creature is! Why. it's Rosalie Nichols, head of the Fight for Women's Rights Association! 1 see she is efficiently assisted by Anna Ruflfo and Thelma Runion. Oh, there's a snappy looking establishment that houses the offices of the Traders cSr Travelers’ Transit Co., of which Hazel Lechlider is president. Gladys Garland has charge of selling bus tickets. They say that Mary Howes is the driver who can best say. “Step to the rear, please . Mary says in this profession, someday George will step on her bus and that will he the end of her bus driving. Why, there is Reed's Garage now capably managed by Eldridge Pier. What was that streak of green? Oh, now I know—it is Farmer H. C. Smith. Jr., whizzing his eggs to market. Hm—I wonder what this building could be? Oh, there is a sign. Rockville Daily Bugle. So now Rockville has a daily newspaper. Subscriptions to this paper are free because no one would read it if they were not. 1 guess I’ll just take one. Well, the editor is George R. Hathaway, who is making good use of his twelfth grade English course. And his private secretary is none other than our old friend, Doris Staver. What startling headlines; Isabel Dicks Wins Beauty Contest! Martha Holland Elected First Mayor of Washington, D. C.!! Howard Bailey, promoter of the Higher Education for Negroes Movement, will pass through the Rockville Station at 9.30 a. m. on his way to the South. Oh. here are some interest ing items in the Wanted column: Wanted—Pupils for School for Tiny Tarzans (ages 8-12)—no tardy hells. If interested, see Ruby Owens, secretary, or Hill Fennell. headmaster. Wanted—Pupils who have the nerve to take piano lessons from the Republican Maryland State Senator, Murray Hamilton. I wonder why there are so many nice looking women on the street. Oh. I see now. They are all wearing signs saying, “I got my hair fixed at Celestine Cole's Beauty Shoppe—Helen Baker and Doris Burrows, operators. Oh. there is the new larger L S. Post Office. Everything there is running along smoothly, because Mary Poole is the Postmistress. Let us look inside and read what these jx sters say. $ 100.000.000 reward for anyone who can work the combination to the bank vault in which Calista Butt has been locked for the past five years. Reward to anyone who can find Danetta Lou-than—she was last heard of in China while collecting for the Mile of Dimes, Wanted in three states—charge, bigamy: Betty Jo Marshall. I can hold my curiosity 110 longer. I wonder how old R. M. H. S. is progressing. Well, it looks pretty much the same, only there are now a few more buildings. Janet Miller is the competent school secretary and Louise Kitts is the basketball coach. Why. there's Miss Hattke still looking for that sixty-seven cents, wondering whether to take it out of the Spinach Fund or the Linoleum Fund. Speaking of her. Anson Ball is in the “birdcage , surrounded by devastating pictures of Harriet and still making up time for skipping Miss Hauke's study hall. Mrs. Christie is not at R. M. H. S. any more—she is now holding her senior English classes at Seen's. Audrey Beane is teaching domesticity and happy home life in the Home He Department. Jack Free-burger is head of athletics and promoter of a new Charles Atlas course. “Muscles and Men. Here is an exciting item on the main bulletin board describing Bill Carr's new correspondence service for backward geometry students. The bulletin board also offers the information that Eleanor Mill is the painter of the week. To be hung in the R. M. H. S. library next week is her latest masterpiece. “Unusual sights in a Chemistry Lab.’ Cherished among the library’s most revealing volumes is A Student's Guide to Ma Greene, or Ma Isn't Impossible. written by the foremost authority. Tommy Greene. Here is an outstanding picture of Dr. Philip Gates sitting calmly and contentedly in his avalanche hut. It seems that one day while he was rock hunting, there was a landslide, and the Doctor liked it so well he decided to live there with his rocks. In his spare time he is writing a treatise. “Rocks vs. Women. Now that seems to have covered every meml er of the graduation class except Harriet Browning. She is now a famous nurse, having had five patients and been responsible for killing six. am well pleased with the advancement given to the world bv this class. It seems that without this class of 1945, civilization would have gone back almost a century. I can now say, “I am proud to have been a member of the R. M. H. S. graduating class of 1943 . — Barbara Seifert Autographs
