FACULTY 4 - . . - , H. 7' ' ' ' ' ' 'f , l,ast year the editor entered our paper in the contest for school pub- lications sponsored by the Colombia Scholastic l'ress ,'Xssociation. Al- though it was accorded favorable criticism. its ranlc was fairly low in comparison with the recognition achieved this year when The llanner toolc third place in its class with a score of Sli. The medal presented by the judges is displayed on the bulletin board in the senior linglish room. The staff. greatly encouraged by the award, responded enthusiastical- ly in preparing the linal edition of the year, which, we hope. will figure in the next contest. May our successors prolit by our mistakes and publish an even liner work next term. ,Xt least, we sincerely hope that, building on the foundation which we feel proud to leave them they may be suc- cessful and have a llanner year. THE CLASS 'OF '31 September I, 1022! marlved the beginning of the most delightful year the class of 'lil has experienced in Rockville lligh School. Hur ,Iunior l'rom, that had been eagerly anticipated for months, became a glorious reality. The happy event remains a vivid memory and will never be fore gotten. We hope the suniiy mood all Seniors shared on the XYashington trip originated at their send-off party. l'he 'Iunior l'icnic is yet to be enjoyed. All other social events must yield first place to these. Now that graduation is near at hand, l think the ,luniors are hapf piest of all. The preeminence of Seniordom, which will soon be ours, is very attractive to us. XYe feel that the best year is before us. , XCCOlll:' panying the Seniors' joy of accomplishment is a pang of regret. No longer will they have the social :restiffe thev have en'oved the mast vear. 6 . ts . . . llow humiliating to be a freshman again! To de mart from school life al- D 5 T together is sadder still. As a parting word, may we commend the career of the class of l9I31l in Rockville High School. XYith deep respect we, the class of liliil, bid the Seniors a fond farewell, sincerely hoping they will climb higher lad- ders of success.

XX ell, he cl take a trip aeress tl1e hall now antl see what tl1e hltnnur CtJI'1'TQlfJl' looketl like. This place eertainly hacl 1llCIlltJ1'lCS. This is the 16 THEBANNER room in which he had geometryw-and Hunked it. llere's where his friend used to tell him dreadful stories about a certain subject called Latin, and show him for proof a little red mark on his report card which meant not passingu and a great deal of hard work not to get an- other. And this room? lVhy, it's the old 'flabf' Yes, this is where 'l'oddie Dowd and Let'l Ludke used to see which one could blow the place up Hrst and were found out before their drastic deed could be car- ried out. How much better he could walk now. He almost ran down the stairs over to the Senior corridor. Rooms twelve and thirteen, famous because the noted class of 19350 had once occupied them! Room thir- teen! fl'hat's the place where he had worked all one Thursday after- noon, under the careful scrutiny of a teacher, to prepare his Senior speech for the next day. And what a speech that was! llc blushed as he remembered it. Room twelve! He had been told that, that was the room in which future business men and women were receiving their edu- cation, and the only time he hadidared to enter was when he wanted to sharpen his pencil. Ah, the old typing room. He had never forgotten the afternoon that joel, Hammond, Nip'i l.ehrmitt, and Carly Les- sig had allideclared that they could type and he had wondered what lan- guage they had typed in when he saw the result of their laborious work, This is where the Victrola used to stand o11 which the popular Stein Songl' in the form of a hfteen cent record was played every afternoon about three o'clock. Out into the corridor again and there before his eyes was the statue of f'XYinged Yictoryf' where several decades of Seniors had practiced their l'almer method penmanship. Now, where could this little door lead to. Nlfhy, the auditorium! XX'hat famous dramatic performances had taken place there, especially the last one, Dorothy Vernon of liladdon Hall -which everybody declared could never again be done so well. This is where graduation had taken place. llut why remain with sad memories! Downstairs he went again. Here was the Ugyml' where the star athletes of his class had performed their miraculous feats in basketball. lt wasn't their fault if they lost an occasional game. lt seemed that there was a faint recollection of some sort of cheering! Yes, he remem- bered lYes,' Osborne as being cheer leader when everyone else wasnlt telling what cheer they wanted and how they wanted it done. lllell, everything was over now. llack again he would go, but not before he had taken' one more look around. The place was dearer to him today than it had ever been. One more lingering look-and he courageously walked out of the building. a new light in his eyes, a firmer tread to his step, and a happy feeling of companionship depicted in his smile. -Il L 1 1 THE BANNER VLASS OI 192243 NYIIIGN FHICSIU l EEE? 33553 MANUAL S- H1613 CLASS UI4' 113130 XYIIIGN SUIWIUAIUI W 1 HW THE BANNER I CLASS OF 1930 XVHICN JFNIORS wr ,V A, , in ,L V.-7, V . ., , W, f,-, K ,v,:fmwnwQsf,gWMf,wgn ,..,44,,f,,M , iy,-,uw W' f -Wf-fzferqw ,ff gm- :-QM v u.-mi ---.mx 2 J ------- - WW- V CLASS OF 1930 NONV SENIORS L I THE BANNER 19 CLASS PROPHECY It is a damp, dreary nightg not a single star or moonbeani shines forth to brighten the gloom in the sinister forest. Nothing stirs in the darkness, but gradually a shrunken shape seems to grow out of the un- derbrush and slowly to weave its way around a huge iron pot. This black-clothed figure is an old witch with scraggly hair and beard. She sheds an atmosphere of repugnance and horror by her very figure and eerie gait. Suddenly her hollow rasping voice breaks the stillness with a wild incantation. As the chant grows Fiercer and fiercer, she whirls fast- er and faster around the magic pot which has now begun to smoke. just as unexpectedly she halts and peers into the depths of the cauldron as though expecting some image to appear. Now she speaks in a calmer but still harsh voice. 0 Clenii, of the magic pot, tonight I need your aid. There has been a great disturbance in the outside world, many men have come to mo asking the cause, and I needs must turn them away, for I know nothing. Visions are constantly rising before me, and even I can see that all lead back to a red brick building in a place called Rockville, back in the wild thirtiesg but there my power ends. O Genii, if you fail me now,- See, there's an image rising from the pot, but I just can't grasp itf. lt's the bent shape of a man--riding--on--a - Voice from the pot. Yes, john DeCarli's love for speed got the best of him, and now he demonstrates kiddy cars in Charlie Peterson's Toy Emporium built on edge of Snipsic. IfVitclz. O, Genii, I never hoped to see such a sight as that, but look! This one is darker still, this new vision from the pot. Voice. Yes, the picture is dark, but the men are darker. Messrs. Doss and Dowding are generally accepted as the successors of Amos 'n Andy, and even their own mothers can't recognize them. I'V1'tr1z. Oh, see how the air whirls above the pot. This must be the real cause of all the commotion. Genii, what is it? Tell me quick. Voice. You have guessed aright. Two mere mortals have tried to usurp the powers delegated to the gods since time immemorial. Wesley Usborne thinks he,s Santa Claus and Joe l'Iammond is hop- ping around, calling himself the Iiaster Rabbit and collecting hen's eggs. There is another familiar face hovering in the background. It is Gladys Willey, head keeper of the Middletown Insane Asylum. That explains the actions of the other two. -lVifrlz. lflerecomes a long procession of people. The visions are grow- ing clearer- but I can't yet interpret them. I think this whole parade wears skirtsg it must be the women who by their deeds have written 1930 across the sky in letters of fire. O Genii, is that first one lead- ing a cow? Voice. Yes, strange as the truth may seem, Dorothy I.eonard is now a specialist in cow psychology and has turned the little village of Tol- THE BANNER land into a regular cow heaven. That female striding so determin- edly in her rear is Mary Tracey, agitator for women's rights- tem- perance, world peace, short skirts, and anything else her brilliant mind can conceive of. The woman behind her with the flippant smile is l'at Cuprak whose sole occupation at present a prosperous one, too, is endorsing cigarettes of all breeds. Ah, this next quiet, stately woman comes from the nation's capitol. Ruth Tschummi has a hidden' power beneath her reserved exterior and has' been elected U. S. Senator on,a platform of cushioned streets for W'ashington. This next woman has politics written all over her face. She is Hazel Sloan, first woman mayor of a place they call Broad Brook. The meek little woman by her side is Tlvelyn lirache, appointed dog warden under the Sloan regime. ll lfflli. The picture is changing. I can see a stage, no many stages, the lure of the drama seems to have drawnymany of these people. Voice. You will lind Seniors of lflilll on every type of stage in every imaginable role. lfvelyn Haskell is the beautiful leading lady of a group of players who are taking the town of Skungamaug by storm this very evening. An overwhelming applause greets the actions of Marjorie Larkin and Stretch Halloran who by their vaudeville skits have spread the fame of Izzy Preusse's night-club to the far corners of the earth. Ali, see this dainty image lloating with the breeze, it is Agnes hlcffusker presenting her own dance, 'lThe Interpretation of Springf' ch. This new vision shines with such brilliance that even l may per- ceive it. The scene has changed to Hollywood where the world's hero, Tony Gessay, has just begun work in his new talkie, 'Tier Golden-llaired Apollo. llere come reminiscences of the XVash- ington days. The picture is too touching, T cannot describe it. Voice. Yes, here see the force that habit has over the life of man. Paul Arzt, all decked out in a red velvet suit. sells tickets at the Palace Theatre. The picture running now is l',et's tio Places. There is the dear old Pennsylvania 'Railway Co., with a dearer friend, Rostek, shoveling coal into the engine. Stoneman, the wise 'little fellow realized early in life that man can best succeed in a calling where there is great demand for his special efforts, and so he is running elevators in the Arlington with the slogan, 'Tligger and Better Sera vice.'l Gladys Stolle is secretary to the President of the U. S. One glance at the Xvashingtonr Trip picture and he was entirely captivat- ed. 7l'zfC1z. Behold this solemn man, walking the path of righteousness with an open Bible in his hand. lt is Carlie l.essig who entered the min- istry in order to reform his best friend, Nip l.ehrmitt. Raymond, by the way, is now an agent of the Salvation Army. But what strange pursuits these Rockville Seniors followed. Genii, pray tell me why that man is lying flat on his back. r 7 , I l 'l , r THE BANNER 21 Voice. Ah, simple is the answer. Duke Doherty has finally found a congenial task in testing matresses. Do you see that handsome man running and darting here and there, clutching a microscope? The Broad Brook belles proved to be too much for jack lillsworth and he has resorted to collecting grass-hoppers to rest his nerves. faithful secretary, l'riscilla liackofen, has up to date 2l5,ff5l2M grass- hoppers. ifVifch. See this aimless woman wanderin down lfllin ton's Main g S Street. Can she be one of the ambitious class of 1930? Voice. lt is XVinnie Arens whose high School tendencies have hnally developed her into the most absent-minded of all absent-minded pro- fessors. The busy woman hurrying by ther side is her sister, Mil- dred, who has all she can do to keep the absent-minded one from throwing away handkerchiefs and embracing perfect strangers. l'Vitclz. Now the visions are tumbling over one another, they come so rapidly. I see Donald Neff, way up in cold Alaska selling Eskimo Pies. Voice. See Martha lienicak has created a new artg she is designing ing handkerchiefs in dear old Broad Brook. Wilclz. Cardalico is kept busy punching the holes in doughnuts. He is at present working on a force pump which he hopes will triple the animal output. But what is home without a mother? Is that kind- ly, plump matron rocking a cradle? Voice. Yes, at least one R. H. S. Senior believes in the good old insti- tution of marriage. Yiola lloering is the proud mother of three darling little boys. lVifclz. O Ljenii, another line of solitary women approaches. Voice. Believe it or not, the fact remains that Mary Cullen is a prim little old maid with not even a backward glance for the bothersome men. Doris Hartenstein, the girl with the blooming cheeks is roll- ing up piles of money by lending her picture a rouge advertise- ment. Sad to relate, lithel Ferguson is in solitary exile and swears she will remain thus until she has succeeded in counting all the stars. fVifc1z. Ah, see these two mareellecl heads arising? Can they be lilean- or Redmond and Sylvia Brown? Voice. No, it is Lester Ludke. first mannikin in Forrest Cohen's millin- ery establishment at 22 Rue llrout, Paris. The two girls have enter- ed entirely different lilies of business. Sylvia Brown is rejoicing in the publication of her first fiction book, llow To Grow 'l'all,', and Eleanor Redmond and her troupe of carrot-tops have at last put the Crystal Lake Ballroom on the map. fVifvlz. Do I really see Marion Pinney approaching, accompanied by a band of uniformed men? 22 THE BANNER Voice. Yes, she has established a home for ex-elevator boys and her work is being highly commended by philauthropists. MXITCIZ. Oh, that Vlfashington Trip. Voice. Joe Wlilleke could not resist the charm of dear old R. H. S. and is now back in the corridors relieving Mr. llowe of his traffic duty, and there goes X'Veenie Kloter into room 12. She is still trying to get out of high school. W1'tch. I see Toddy Dowd, dwelling all alone in a little house on a cliff by the side of the sea. Having tired of the society of men, she spends her days in reading the books which were of necessity neglected during Senior English. ' Voice. See, out there on the bay, the ocean liner, the City of Norfolk, steams serenely on, its way under the calm guidance of its captain, Cynthia Clark and manned by an able crew which gained its expe- rience ou the Chespeake. Frances Blakeslee is iirst-mate, and thcre's Shirley Bergh conducting the boatls colored orchestra. IVitc1z. See, Genii, here are more visions. XYhat a class! XYill the pro- cession never end? Voice. Behold another agitator! Theresa Hambach is working to have a new language created so that she may write poetry more easily while Ethel Sayet leads the opposition saying that the twenty-five words most commonly used are enough for anybody to remember. ilfitch. How the scene changes! See all the dazzling lights and shim- mering spangles. Voice. This is lNalter Gross' world-renowned one-ring circus-nothing but clean, wholesome amusement. IfVit.ch. And I see perched jauntily at the top of the tent, Sarah Morin, the trapeze artist. Voice. But you mustn't miss Laura Minor and Harriet Plummer, the bare-back riders. See how neatly they balance on the backs of those bears. Surely your eyes can't resist that ravishing tight-rope walker, none other than our old friend, Margaret Hoffman. Witch. Look, Genii, there's another familiar face, among the elephants. Voice. Oh, don't be alarmed. Frank Staklinski hasn't changed his species yet. He merely carries water for the nice animals. lVitch. This image is dimmer, Gcnii. Tell me what it is. Voice. It is XVilma Suessman, the only grandmother in the class of 19230. She sits all day in her lace-trimmed cap and tells the children clustered around her knee of how modest maidens were, 'iwhen she was a girl. I'Viz'ch. Ah, here comes Doris Ungerwitterg she seems completely lost in thought. THE BANNER 23 Voice. Yes, Doris is trying to lind a more romantic and poetic name for Broad Brook. The best she has struck yet is Running Ripplesf, There is Nan Flaherty who is now teaching French in Germany, and Helen Smith who spends' her days in mending runs in stockings. lfVitclz. I see Lillie Hill writing and writing. She was not satisfied with Burke's Speech on Concilation and is now writing a better one. Here comes Hazel Kulinly who is still trying to devise a Pullman ' Car with only lower berths. l'V1'tclz. XYhat is this vision rising in the smoke? Voice. Ah, didn't you know Mary Willeke has been in voluntary exile for seven years and absolutely refuses to return to civilization until she has discovered a button for gym bloomers which may be guaran- teed to hold under the most strenuous exercises? lVitclz. At last the end of the longlprocession comes in view. But what sad faces on these last three. Voice. They have all been disappointed in love. Fanny Mathewson cannot 'find a man tall enough to compliment her own stature and Harold Schlichting, poor man, has nothing to do but live on the alimony paid by his wife. And last, but not least, comes Ellen Young. XVhen she finally got to the church on her wedding day. she found that the bridegroom, despairing of her ever arriving on time, had married the matron of honor. ' llfifclz. O thank you, Gcnii of the pot, for the wonders you have en- nabled mc to behold. Now I may rest in peace fully aware of the how, and when, and why of the class of 1930.

'l'o all of these classes we leave this duty: that they must every year tell the budding Freshmen. as they stare open-mouthed and in awe, ofthe exploits, escapades, abilities and accomplishments of the class that shall go down in history, traditional to R. ll.

R. H. 1 5, 4 THE BANNER 31 WASHINGTON TRIP Bad luck seemed to start the Class of 151230 off on its XVZ1SlllllgtOll trip this year. but it was not allowed to stay very long, and no chance was given it to work its disastrous spell. ,Xfter having decided to wait no longer for the tardy busses to arrive, we, the eminent Seniors, bade farewell to the bothersome Freshmen, tearful Sophomores. affectionate juniors, and worrying parents. The belated busses were met at Talcott- ville. Suit-cases, valises, umbrellas, medicine chests, and laundry bags were hurriedly thrown on top of the busses, and we were off. NYe were off! Noise confusion, shoutiig, and singing, in it Word, a general sense of chaos, describes the journey as far as Pennsylvania Station. A tele- phone call to New York succeeded in holding the traiii up for this illus- trious class. We were only an hour late so why worry? The train was boarded and everybody, realizing that sleep was needed, later if not now, tried to get i11to the habit and to become accustomed to the rocking of the car. The.next moriiing we found ourselves in Xtashington, the city of our dreams. XYe breakfasted onjeggs which we were soon to Hud quite abundant in the fkrlington Hotel. Immediately after breakfast the boys rushed out to buy their canes which made them look quite grown-up in the presence of the already grown-up girls. The first place of interest visited on our tour was the national Capi- tol. XVe spent all morning roaming in and out of the gigantic rooms. VVC were introduced to Congressman lfreeman who addressed us and arrang- ed to have us escorted to the Senate and the llouse .of Representatives. ln the Senate we heard the debate on the appointment of judge Parker to the Supreme Court and saw Senator llingham from Connecticut talk- ing with some of his colleagues. In the llouse we witnessed an amusing account of llouse rules and saw that the members of Congress seemed to be enjoying themselves. in spite of the responsibility we are told is plac- ed-on their shoulders. The afternoon was spent in visiting many of the homes of XYashington's prominent meii. Stops were made at the Lin- coln Memorial, where a massive statue of Abraham Lincoln impressed us. Next came the Zoological l'ark. Our chaperones had a difficult time persuading us that we could not stay here forever. The magnifi- cent Xkfashington Cathedral, which is yet uulinished, was our next place for a rest. llere we saw the tombs of former l'resident XYilson and Ad- miral llewey. XYe started on our way again and were very fortunate in seeing a most impressive suiiset service at lfort Meyer. From here we journeyed on and finally reached Arlington where the graves of soldiers who died in the various wars were seen. The open amphitheatre was en- joyed by all and many declared it to be a good place to go in the hot weather. However, their hopes were somewhat thwarted when they were told that it is only used once a year. on Memorial Day. ln front of this building is the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. NYe had just been told the history of the tomb so there were no questions as to what the soldier's name was. Our wits were put to the test here when some of the girls tried to make the sentinel talk. He, condescencl to talk to us? l 1 ,,w.- ,, .YY V .K 32 THE BANNER Not on your life! His eyes were kept straight ahead and the Seniors were actually snubbed. After this intentional rebuff, we decided it was no place for us, so we went back to the Arlington Hotel. That night was our lirst in Xtashington, and we tried to make the most of it. Those who didnlt go out stayed in their rooms, and with the phrase Duty before pleasure constantly in their minds, wrote post cards to the many friends who had said, Now don't forget to send me a card. Pardon us for again mentioning food, but the ever present fried egg attended our breakfast as usual. Tuesday morning we visited the new National Museum. Here we saw President Roosevelt's big game collec- tion, most of which he secured on his African hunting trip. We then crossed the street to the Smithsonian Institute, where one of the most in- teresting exhibits was Lindberghls airplane, the Spirit of St. l.ouis. Une brilliant Senior asked a guide where the dresses of the ex-presidents were, when he wanted to see those of the ex-president's wives. After this, we went up the lVashington Monument. That was higher than our High School by several feet. Although many Seniors walked up, it was noticed that the same ones did not walk down, The rest ofthe af- ternoon Vwas spent in roaming about taking snapshots and having a good time generally. In the evening we either went to dances or theatres, or kept the house detective busy trying to decide from which room the most noise came. Wfednesday was a busy day for us, for it was our last complete day in Xllashington. Early in the morning we went to the Corcoran Art Cial- lery where many statutes and paintings of great artists were examined. In the Red Cross building' relics of the war were shown. Upon examina- tion of the bullet-riddled wagons, many decided that they were glad that they were then too- young to have taken such chances in war and would rather sele it done in the movies anyhow. The Pansikmerican building. which we next saw, was greeted with oh's and ah's of admiration from the members of the appreciative class. This is a very unique building be- ing built entirely of stones gathered from the various Pan-American countries. The Bureau of Science, which was also greatly enjoyed, gave us an' opportunity to work the various machines. It was great fun man- ipulating the various inventions and not knowing whether to expect something to pop', out at you or not. Then came the long-looked-for opportunity. XfVe were told we could go to the Hoover Flying Field and many of us took an airplane ride. Most of the class passengers'decided that the cabin planes were too safe so the majority went up in an open plane. No one tumbled out. That afternoon the boys went to a base- ball game between the XVashington Senators and the New York Yan- kees where they saw the Senators beaten, the final score being nine to nothing. Two of the boys, however, thought it was too strenuous a job to go to a baseball game and they stayed at the hotel and caught up on a little sleep. The girls went shopping for the souvenirs which they dared not forget to bring home. Early in the evening the Congressional Library was visited. Here is an elaborate marble staircase which is a beautiful sight with the lights shining on it. llve were given special per- THE BANNER 33 mission to enter the Library and look the book stacks over. A private dance was given us at the Arlington that night and everyone was glad to get another opportunity to dance, although some preferred to watch the antics of the clown-like orchestra members. We saw more money 'l'hursday than we ever expect to see again in all our lives. We started the day off by visiting the Bureau of ,Printing and Engraving,'where all our paper currency and stamps are printed. It was lucky that the Seniors -could not get within reach of that money. After tipping all the 1 loward's',, Cusies and l.ouies for four days the funds of the boys were rather low. llut the girls! 'lihey were the real cause of the financial depression. After this we-all visited the Treasury Building. XYe saw a couple of Sltktltltl bills in there that made the Seniors take notice. Somefone asked if they gave away samples in that factory. The guide said they did every February I30th.'l Next, on our tour of inspection, was the XYhite llouse where all of us felt at home. XYe went through many of the ball rooms and state dining rooms. Une brilliant Senior girl tried to page Mrs. Hoover, but without success. NVe were pretty tired by then, but the spirit of youth prevailedf, :Xheml In the afternoon we made the journey from lYashington to Balti- more by train and from there to Annapolis by bus. At. Annapolis we saw the Naval Academy and the cadets drilling, not in the ground but on it. There were so many enjoyable activities to watch and so many historic landmarks that we did not get away from the feeling of always wanting more time. Upon our return to Baltimore, we boarded the boat for Richmond, and for what proved to be the most enjoyable part of the trip to many Seniors. Dancing, that night, had a new thrill added to it, for we could walk around the decks between dances and imagine ourselves to be on a trip to Europe. Last call for breakfast! Eggs, as usualv, cried an agonized Senior early Friday morning. Nevertheless, breakfast could not be resisted and when the boat docked at NYest l'oint, Virginia, everybody was ready to get off. No one had been seasick. but getting up early in the morning is as' painful as being sick any day. .X train was taken that day through Richmond and busses the rest of the way to XYilliam and Mary College where lunch was served. By the way. many of the girlsl have a lingering memory of this college in the form of correspondence. After lunch a bus was taken to hlamestown. This, as the upper classmen know. was where the first permaneiit settlement in the United States was made and is remarkable for its quaintness and history. Here we saw the original tower of the first church to be built in this country and the rest of the church which has since been remodeled. The grave of the first Episco- palian minister in America, a replica of Raleigh's house in England, and more graves of the Revolutionary period were seen. Again the bus af- forded relief from the heat until we arrived at Yorktown where we saw the first Custom House in America, the Yorktown Monument which was erected to commemorate the victory of America in 1781, and in XVilliamsburg the old Bruton church. This was a most interesting place. NVe had the pleasure of entering the church and sitting in the 34 THE BANNER pews. XVhen the doors on the pews are closed, only the heads of the at- tendants can be seen. It is an easy matter, if o11e feels sleepy and has plenty of room, to lie down and take a nap, and the minister is none the wiser. A special chair is reserved in the front of the church for the gov- ernor. After examination of the old grave yard surrounding the church, we left for VVilliam and Mary College again. The evening was a real balmy Southern night. After dinner some of the members went sight- seeing while others took a trip to the corner drug store where forgotten souvenirs and additional purchases to replace worn-our or lost clothes were bought. ,Then back to the steamer we went to spend another glor- ious night on the Chesapeake Hay. XVe awoke Saturday morning, very early, and the realization dawned upon us that it was to be the last day of our glorious journey. Ilt was necessary for some of us to wake up at 5 230 for an early breakfast as the dining room was quite crowded. We landed in Baltimore on scheduled time and took busses which were waiting for us directly to the R. R. sta- tion. A ride on the line cars of the Pennsylvania Railroad brought us after about two hours traveling to Philadelphia. The ride was not as tiresome as one might think, since we were able to play cards, or chat with the Manchester crowd, or make up for lost sleep. Arrived in the City of Brotherly I.ove we were again met with some sight-seeing busses. The guides showed us several of the large depart- ment stores in Philadelphia as we drove through. the main thoroughfares. NYe stopped at famous Independence Hall. It was there that, as you probably know,'the Declaration of Independence was signed. The re- nowned Liberty Bell was on display, and there were many other interest- ing things there. I.ater we visited the United States Mint and saw the pennies and other coins being made. Altogether the tour about Philadelphia took about two hours so that it was dinner time when we returned to the trains. lVe had our first meals of the trip at this time. The I'ennsylvania Company had prepared a delicious dinner for us, even printing the menus with the words Man- chester and Rockville High Schoolu at the top. After the dinner Ca chicken dinner, by the way, with ice cream, etc.j the menus were given to us and we passed them around for autographing. After graduation the Seniors will be experts at the art of autographing. In another two hours or more we were in New York, with the famil- iar old Coney Island busses waiting to take us along the last stretch of the trip. A few of the Seniors accompanied the Manchester group, being anxious to go by train and arrive home earlier. The rest piled their lug- gage in like veterans and found seats on the bus like experienced travel- ers. On the journey home we were all a little saddened at the thought finishing the trip, but at the same time it was good to be back home. lYe wish to take this occasion to thank Mr. llowe and Miss IIyde for their cheerful spirits at all times during the trip, especially at times when we must have taxed their patience. The fact that there were no serious mishaps, that we all returned home fno complaints to the contrary have been registered by any parentsj is evdience enough of the excellentj guar- dians we had on that journey, the dream and goal of the under-graduate which we have made a reality, the VVashington Trip. , fi t - M llllt linniuul im y 12, Q' -ict T jr ' I-.CIVX ION THE SCHOOL IS ENTEJRTAINED Miss Ferguson and Miss McCusker spoke to us about historic Ply- mouth. Miss Kloter told us the interesting history of Amos ,Il Andy, and Miss Backofen spoke on Martin .lohnson's experiences in photographing animals. ' lfllsworth and Gross told some of the experiences of the Seniors in XYashington, and some of the sights they saw. Miss Hill spoke on the life of Bernard Shaw, and Miss Larkin gave a most interesting speech on the impressions of the Forbidden City in China. Lessig, Lehrmitt, and Peterson spoke on Advertising in China. Their subject matter was original, and the talks were delightfully amus- ing. We especially enjoyed their introductions of one another. Rostek spoke on the Lincoln Memorial, and Doherty told about the XYashington Monument. The subjects were especially interesting be- cause the talks were given the -day before Memorial Day. As further Memorial Day exercises, Maurice Spurling gave l.incoln's Gettysburg Address. On June G, Miss Sloan, Miss Redmond. Miss Benicak, and Miss Tschummi gave a two-act play entitled Miss Uakley's Telephonef, Due to the fact that the maid miged the tClC1JllUIlC'illlll'lllJCI'S,i a broken engage- ment was renewed, through very humorous situations. The dialect of the maid and the cook was especially well done The play was certainly one of the best presentations of Senior speeches that even the Senoris ever heard. SENIOR DRAMATICS That much-talked-of event, the Senior Dramatics, which was held on Friday night, April ll, was a great success. A very delightful play, f'Dorothy Yernon of lladdon llallf, was presented to an appreciative audience. The following were in the cast: Elizabeth Tudor, Queen of lingland ........... ....... 3 'lildred ATCHS Mary Stuart, Queen of Scotland ........ ------- X iiOlL1 Hoering 36 THE BANNER Sir George Vernon .....................,... ........

XYilma Suessman This is a historical play of the linglish court at the time of Queen Elizabeth. The plot moves about Dorothy Vernon, a lady of extraor- dinary genius, who manages to calm all bitter hatred between the Queen of England and the Queen of Scotland. lt was both interesting and humorous. tXYe admit that Mary Tracey is quite an expert at breaking dishes into the smallest pieces possiblej The costumes used were very eltective with their gay colors, full skirts, ruifs, and real swords for the men, and the characters in the play appear- ed as dignihed as royalty should be. Most of the pupils were so disguis- ed as to be almost unrecognizable. QXYho would have thought that Sir Malcolm was in reality 'Lester Ludke?il Credit and many thanks are given to all those who did their very best to present the play in so excel- lent a manner. SCIENCE CLUB lVith Miss Hyde and Mr. Dresser as originators of the Science Club, it would naturally haye to progress rapidly and it has lived up to our ex- pectations. The last meeting was held out-doors in a pretty little place in the woods. After the regular meeting we played several interesting games that were amusing and instructive at the same time. DOMESTIC SCIENCE Margaret Allgair of the lirst year class in Home Economics was awarded the lirst prize of 5510.00 of the state of Connecticut in the Na- tional Meat Story Contest. She also won a prize of one dollar for menu submitted with the essay. The BannerH offers their congratulations, Margaret. On Friday, June Gth, the Advanced Class in Home Economics enjoy- ed a trip to Hartford where they were taken thru the New Method Laun- dry, 4'Fro Joyl' Ice Cream plant, and the Continental Baking Company. On April 15th dinner was served to Mr. and Mrs. Clough, Mr. Hen- sig, of Yernon Town School Committee, Miss llowers, Mr. and Mrs. THE BANNER 37 Dresser, and Miss Mclean. lt was served by Anna Grugsley, Margaret Mcfartin, Ura Morin, Arlene Nlartin, lireida Kairott, Alice Peterson and Gertrude Lasbury of the Advanced Class in Home Economics. There was a supper served on june 10th to some of the Rockville lligh School Faculty by Vina Converse, Cynthia Clark, and Mae Bos- worth. GLEE CLUB On May 30th, the tiilee Clubs tgirls' and boys'J presented the eiiter- taining operetta- Love Pirates of Hawaii. The main characters were as follows: Dorothy .......... Miss l'rimer .....

A large audience attended the operetta. Dancing followed in the gymnasium, music being furnished by the F-infonians. THE SENIOR SEND-OFF PARTY The Senior Send-Off Party, which was held on Friday, .-Xpril 25, was a wonderful event. The pupils danced to the snappy music of lirnie Roek's Orchestra from 8:00 to ll 2230. .Xlthough we were a bit shy at first, Mr. llowe managed to arouse us. lle urged the young gentlemen to have courage and ask the ladies to dance. Thanks to Mr, Howe! XYe appreciated his aid for otherwise we believe the gentlemen would have stood around all evening and stared at the ladies-who would have remain- ed motionless likewise. Later in the evening refreshments were served arid .Xrline Sullivan and Marcella lienovesi entertained us with a delightful danee land how those girls can kick! The Juniors have hopes of seeing this couple on the stage in the future.l ll. Lavitt and E. lflyiln, togeth- er with the chorus girls sang several popular songs. NYC sincerely hope that everyone was pleased and we thank Nr. llowe and the eommittees who did their very best in making an enjoyable evening for all. XYe are also grateful to the Seniors who took part in the affair. i 38 THE BANNER LE CERC LE FRANCAIS Le Cercle Francais presented a short comedy on Wiednesday after- noon, june 4.

The comedy was both delightful and interesting and we are sure that the work of 'lLe Cerclc Francaisn was greatly appreciated. FAREWELL SHOWER FOR MISS HYDE On Friday evening, june ti, 15330, a kitchen shower was held at the High School for Miss Ruth Hyde. A mock wedding was given in the auditorium, and later the fun continued down stairs. A twenty-five dol- lar gold-piece was concealed among the gifts. The shower was given by members of the Sophomore class who have had Miss Hyde as teacher. One hundred guests were invited, including the faculty, and others espec- ially interested. 151 sg: nk rg: rg: CLASS POEM High school years are now complete Years of work, yet years of fung Records of the past are broken- New ones tell what we have done.

Theresa Hambach '30 1 3 E QM f 1 ff t .wp A+- ' l :al i H GEM -ML-D Just a few bits of news, picked up here and there, constitute the Alumni section thistime, just a little to let you know that it hasnyt gone out of existence. This is the last chance we Seniors have to do our part for our school magazine, so, although we are all very busy, we have given out time to make ourllast issue a success. Soon, we will be alumni and hope to see our names in many future issues of the Banner. For the present. we are content to read about others. Many of the alumni who are attending schools near XVashington and Philadelphia were seen while the Seniors were on the lYashington trip. Among those were Timothy McCarthy and Michael Smith, who favored us by their presence at our private C ?l dance at the Arlington Hotel: and lYalter Berthold and Frank Dillonsnyder, who were waiting for us when we arrived in l'hiladelphia. It seemed good. both to them and to us, to see old friends so far away from home. And now we have some good news about i'Ken Brookes who grad- uated last year and who is attending XYilliston Academy this year. He was on the Honor Roll for the'third quarter and is also showing lYillis- ton a few things about tennis. He has won every single played so far and we hope he will keep on winning all the rest. News has been received that XYilliam Howe, 1924, has completed the installation ofthe machinery pertaining to oil refining for which he went to Vienna, Austria, early in December. He is now installing this machinery in a refinery in Budapest, llungary. It is interesting that this is the first machinery of its kind to be installed in Europe and that the work is being done by a Rockville lligh School graduate. Frederick Swindells, 185311, Vice President of the American Fruit Company left on April 272, for lingland and the continent where he is in- vestigating fruit' marketing for the government of Nova Scotia. He is the tirst American ever appointed to a Canadian Royal Commission. :X short time ago, XYalter -l. Murphy, an alumnus of the class of 10015, died. lle is described as a man of sterling character, stability and time personalityfl One of his outstanding contributions at Rockville was his efforts in sports ofhall kinds. XYhile in High School, he was a star athlete, and after graduation, was one of the foremost men in the Rockville Athletic Association. For several years he was treasurer of the Alumni Association, never forgetting his Alma Mater. lle was a man, which Rockville High is proud to claim as one of its Alumni.

SQVAII BOYS' BASK ETBA LL SQUA D LETIC BASEBALL llasehall came along with Spring, and in some ways, our hasehall re- cord can he compared with this'Spring. livery now and then, which is quite often, a rainy day comes and is followed hy more, sometimes we have live rainy days a week. The rainy days that arcn't needed, are considered as hlotches. Xve played six games with other schools. flut of these six games, we won the lirst only. The remaining live can he regarded as hlotched. 'l'herefore, our average was ahout tive times as had as the rainy day average for Spring, ln the lirst game. we played like demons, ,and halted and hanged the hall everywhere. ln the ,next game, we cracked, and so we were for the remainder of the season. Lack of hitting may he hlamed for our unsuc- cessful season. Well. here's hoping that next year will he a far hetter season. The following will receive their covjeted lQ's : Hill llurke. l'aul Lfardalico, hlohn llelfarli, Tony Clessay, XYalter Gross, Carl Lessig, Roh- ert lXlurphy. l'aul Phillips, William l'reuss, Steve Scihelc, 'lohn Tyler, Yarsity 173-Xvindliatn T XYe opened the hasehall season at Xtillimantic, and it was a glorious opening. ln the third inning, -we piled up tive runs, and this spurt put us in the lead, which we held to the end of the game. XYindham was outhit, lf? to 13. XX'alt tlross pitched a 'wonderful game, getting nine strikeouts: his teammates gave him the necessary lielding support along with timely hitting. Hur halting heroes were Lessig, Murphy, llurlce, and Qfardalico. X arsity H-lzast llartford ll! liast l lartford came to the local Fair Cirounds and handed us a lo to lt whitewashing. Pottinger, visitors' ace, was on the mound, and we were ahle to gather hut Ji singles, lfleven times we were struck out hy this speedy hall pitcher while liast llartford was poling out thirteen hits. lt was this game that started us on our memorahle slump. Yarsity T!---lvlancliester lt? South Manchester l'ligh, which was so good to us on the Xvashing- ton trip, forgot all friendly relations, and handed us a lG to T heating 44 THE BANNER when we went to their recreation park. They got four more hits than we did, 15 and ll, but their hits were of a producing nature. Lessig, Burke, and Phillips made T of our total hits. l.upien, slugging left held- er, and Kerr, shortstop, were lXlanchester's hitters. Varsity 2+liast Hartford 21 XYe were defeated by liast Hartford for the second time this season, and the margin of victory was even greater than that of the lirst game. Turney held us to five hits, while his teammates banged out lil hits. Xlie were badly defeated only because of our lack of hitting and too many er- rors. Varsity 2-Manchester Bl Manchester took the two game series by defeating us for a second time this season. They made 21 runs on l8 hits. The game was featur- ed by three home runs: O'l.eary and Smith of Manchester and DeCarli, our slugging fielder, being the Babe Ruths. Cardalico, chunky fielder, made a three bagger for us. Varsity G-lYindham lli Xkfindham came here determined to avenge the former defeat which we had intlicted, and there was nothing wrong with their determinations. They poled out 15 hits, and brought in lt? runs. We were checked at nine hits and ti runs. This game was the last of a very unsuccessful sea- son. TENNIS This year a newly formed tennis team started in Rockville High. Although they experienced a disastrous season, prospects are bright for next year. Moreover, we have played larger schools than our own. liarly in April Mr. Roden called a meeting for all who were interest- ed, and Vtiesley Osborne was elected manager. Letters were sent out immediately to several schools, but due to the fact that we started a little late, it was impossible to get games with more than three schools. Sever- al schools have promised to play next year. 'Through the courtesy of the Kumjoynous Tennis Club and Mr. Oswald Eckhardt, we have been very fortunate in securing courts, for we are hampered by having no Municipal Courts. Our first matclrwas with XYeaver High, and we were defeated by the score of -I-0. On May 521 we showed our best form of the season, nearly upsetting Manchester High at Manchester. The outcome was not decided until the fifth contest. The hnal score was 3-72. On May 235, Sulfield l'rcp came to Rockville and trounced us 5-0. Next year Mr. Roden, coach, should have ample material for a good team. Wes Osborne is the only senior. Paulie Phillips, jst-if O,l.ough- lin, Skel', Read, Ferdinand lickhardt, Les Brookes and several others will be available and all of these have had much tennis experience.
