(Signed) DOROTHY MAE BELT NORMA HERSBERGER Class rophecij Now, after twenty years of being away from my old home town of Rockville, I have returned by order of this strange letter thot I have in my pocket. My, but I am tired! As I lean against this old Confederate soldier statue in the triangle, I guess HI glance over this letter again. Am I dreaming, or does it really say:— Dear Miss Seifert, It has been brought to our attention that you are a former classmate of one, Mr. Donald Duckworth. We hereby request you to appear ot the Montgomery County Court House in Rockville, Maryland, on June 16, 1967, to testify at the trial of Mr. Donald Duckworth vs 'Nellie Equus'. Joyce Mullinix, Sec. in charge of Horses, Rockville League for the Preservation of our Four-Footed Friends and Children. Goodness, is someone looking over my shoulder? Or is it just a shadow? No, there doesn't seem to be anyone here except the metal likeness of Ulyssess S. Lee. What a queer expression he has! Is he trying to tell me something? Do you recognize our city of Rockville after twenty years, Charlotte? It certainly has progressed, hasn't it? What! — Oh — y-y-yes General Lee. By the way, I know you hove watched so many generations in this city, and I wonder if you could tell me about my former classmates of '47. Why, of course. I'd love to! Look over there. See that sign that says 'Evenin' Taps'? This daily newspaper is capably run by Betty Shewbridge, owner, operator, editor and janitor-at-large. Some members of the staff arc: Doro try Dix Belt, who trained at the John J. Anthony School; Janet Dawson, who edits the Kitchen Klatter Kolumn and specializes in recipes for two; the Ingalls Twins, who have charge of Weather Reports — Betty reports the stormy weather and Isobel, the fair. Now, right next to that newspaper office, you'll find Vinson's Old Drug Store is run by Doc Bob Holden, who mixes a mean prescription. During his lunch hour, he reads Harry Snouffer's pocket edition of How to Play Football Successfully.' And there, over at the Corn Plaster and Cough Drop counter is Jean Anderson, buying a fist-full of each. Behold! See that lady walking across the street? That's your old friend Shirley Burdette and take note of thot upsweep-in-the-back and downsweep-in-the-front hairdo! You see, she is an operator at Mary Eva Osmond's Modem Beauty Salon on Commerce Street. Shirley practices her new hair styles on herself before she gives them to the customers. I heard thot Osmond's chief manicurist, Jackie Nicholson, has developed two new shades of nail polish — Bruised Winesap and Off-Raspberry — and they seem to be quite popular. Is that Sue Sherman on crutches? Yes, the poor girl is still recovering from injuries received when cheer leading at the R. M. H. S. football game against Montgomery Junior College in '46. I heard tell that next week she will be able to walk without any aid, but that she will have to corry 'Cleat' marks on her legs for the rest of her life. Up on Washington Street is the new Ninety-ninth National Bank where Betty Jean O'Brien is cashier and in charge of the Blotter Department. Betty Jane Butt has just taken over the position of Assistant Cashier and she also polishes the handle of the big front dbor. Say, isn't that somebody I know? Why yes! That's Marie Fisher, but you probably did not recognize her wearing that 'sandwich board' saying 'Dood Dinners At Dangler's.' Mr. Curtis Dangler now has an up-and coming restaurant just outside of Rockville. Mile. Beverly Beauchamp is 'maitresse de cuisine.' That gum-chewing waitress you'll see there is Pat Nicewarner. Also, 300-pound Johnny Carr is the chief bouncer. The second Friday in each week, Mr. Dangler has special entertainment. Music is furnished by Doug Cecil and his 'Sweet Potato Peelers.' Next week, Betty Lou Beane will be 28 featured with the orchestra, sing ing 'Barnyard Ballads On Perry Street, next to the Fire House, the Hitchcock and Hardister law firm (which I understand, specializes in divorce cases) —has just recently opened. Their secretaries are Jane Hillard and Doris Miles, and the alternate is Doris Senger. The present most important client is William Beane, alias Tommy Manville, who is trying to obtain a divorce from his thirteenth wife. My, I can't believe Rockville has grown so! You should have been here last week for the celebration of 'Old Home Week' at the fair grounds. There were all sorts of displays and exhibitions. Marlyce Hall's cow, Effie Mae, won the light blue ribbon for giving Grade A milk through the week and giving butter on Saturdays. The dark blue ribbon was awarded to Doris Woodworth's prize poultry which have no necks and all white meat. And also from the farm was Paul Anderson, who won the medium blue ribbon for his exhibit of 'plumples'—a new kind of fruit he rew by crossing plums and apples, or her 4 6 layer cake, Ruth Cole walked off with the indigo blue ribbon. There was a Needlecraft booth in which was displayed Madeline Elder's Hand Crocheted Fish Bowls; Louise Cannon's Towels, 'hemmed and hawed' by hand; and Dolores Havener's Houscdrosses made of cheesecloth and modeled by Anna Mae Fawley. I was told that Robert Jones made quite an impression with his exhibition of his new invention— a pen that writes under mercury, and also serves as a thermometer. One of the most popular exhibits was 'Ye Olde Antique Shoppe,' which housed many interesting items such as Wilson Howes' 1933 Ford, still with four flat tires. As one wandered obout, one could see Harry Huffer's football helmet; Ma Greene's grade book; the paint brushes of Paul Freeburger, Jack Hawkins, Frank Darcey and Eddie Wratten; two piston rings from the dual-controlled practice driving cor; Miss Hauke's black, rubberized lab apron; some of Betty Jane Schnei- der's bobhy pins; life-size cloy figures of Ruth Shelton's six husbands; Wiley Dobbins' chemistry grades in a glass case; Janet Rice's 1918 Red Cross Nurse's costume from the Armistice Day assembly; and Daniel Testerman's lunch bag. In one end of the Shoppe was the Literary Corner and the main attraction there seemed to be M W. Christie's Chaucer, When I Knew Him. Also, quite populor was Elizabeth Caywood's Hondbook of French Verbs. I heard, someone say that Betty Peake and Helen Mobley had a little stand there and were selling delicious pink lemonade. The main feature of the celebration was a parade down Montgomery Avenue, before the opening of the fair. Of course, Mayor Ed Carter led the procession, escorting General Alan King, head of the Maryland State Guard, who was guest of honor. Then followed Boy Scout Leader Oscar Dodd with his troop of unruly Cubs. Next came Anne Giauque and her Rhythm Band, which featured as guest drum major, Mr. Harry Beall, twirling a fifty cent Corona-Corona cigar instead of o baton. After that came u shiny fire truck driven by Mary Duvall and a new ambulance with Lenora Edwards at the wheel. At the very end of the parade came Dog Catcher Harold Mullican, looking for any stray dogs which might have followed the procession; and Street Cleaner Carroll Mullican picking up trash and tinfoil thnt crowds had thrown in the street. Oh, I wish I could have been here. , Say, Charlotte, did you hear? You know, I have been so lonely all my life and now at last I om going to have company. A statue of Betsy Ross Barton is to be erected across the street from me. In fact, two famous artists, sculptors Robert Kidwell and Norma Hersberger, are coming from New York tomorrow to begin it. I am so thrilled! I bet you are! Colly, we seem to have company. Why it's Henry King and he is motioning to me to move. Oh, I see now, he wants to weed the petunia bed around Gen eral Lee Goodness, I've got to run or I'll be late for the trial—so, goodbye, Ulysses, and thank you. 29 Pop u 1 a r i t L) a rade GIRL TITLE BOY Betty Lou Beane Best Looking Donald Duckworth Anne Giauque Most Popular Paul Freeburger Norma Hersberger Best Dressed Curtis Dangler Ruth Shelton Best Dancer Robert Kidwell Ajnne Giauque Best Athlete Eddie Wratten Dorothy Mae Belt Best Scholar Donald Duckworth Betty Jeon O'Brien Friendliest Jack Hawkins Anna Mae Fawley Best Natured Paul Freeburger Anne Giauque Best All Around Paul Freeburger Janet Rice Most Unpredictable Ed Carter Janet Dawson Wittiest Ed Carter 9 Betty Shewbridge Done Most for School Paul Freeburger Mrs. Christie Most Popular Teacher Mr. Comly 11A WARD FETROW—President KATHLEEN CLAGETT—- Vice-President MARGARET HIGGINS—Secretary MR.
