FOREWORD Though your first inclination upon receiving the 1951 ROCKET is to thumb rapidly through its pages, we hope that you will become aware of our primary purpose, that of presenting an accurate written and pictorial account of the growths and accomplishments of Richard Montgomery during the past year. If we have succeeded in our purpose, then our fondest aspirations will have been realized. Success in the venture of publishing an annual is dependent upon the depth of interest of the staff, the student body, the faculty, and the patrons of the school. It is our pleasure to acknowledge that such interest has been very evident. We wish to express our grateful thanks to Mr. Hawes Keys, local photographer; Mr. Frank MacIntyre, Merin Studios, Philadelphia, Penna.; and Mr. Karl Phillips, W. W. Thompson Co., Richmond, Va., for the services rendered by them. We also wish to thank George Jewell, eighth grade student, whose interest in photography has enabled him to provide us with some excellent snapshots.

The ROCKET Staff was set up under a new policy this year. As a school undertaking, it was agreed that the yearbook should be produced and financed by the school as a whole. Representatives from every grade were invited to help with yearbook composition and sales. In addition each organization or unit included was assessed for the amount of page coverage which was needed for an accurate account of the group’s activities. Special commendation is tendered to seniors Pat Wheeler, editor; Helen Reeves and Helen Woodward, composition and typing; and to sophomores Grace Kelly, art; Joan Dills and Rose Darcey, format, for their unstinting efforts, without which the ROCKET might not have reached publication. Miss Will served her fourth year as adviser to the yearbook staff. ROCKET STAFF Left to right, First row—J. Hogemiller, P. Hutchinson, A. Benson, M. Carter, P. Wheeler, H. Reeves, H. Woodward, E.
