Yye hope that the good work will keep on the following' year. :ls 31 31 :lf if VVhen we Seniors entered lligh School as lfreshmen, we looked forward expectantly to four years of coinradeship in work and play Some have left in the time that has passed, hut those who have stayed have grown to know what sehool life really means. Some of us will go to work, while others will go on to school. Yet no matter what our future work may he, we shall always look hack with a deep re- gard for what our years here have taught us. lt is with Commence- ment that they end, and though we all truly hope to receive the diplo- ma, which hespeaks this parting, it is not with too happy thoughts that we shall go, TO THE CLASS OF 1932-ONE YEAR MORE! VVe are now approaching the termination of our junior Yearva year that is perhaps the most pleasant of the four years spent in lligh School, not only from the social aspect with its Prom, SendfOtT,'y and l'icnic, but also scholastically. XYhat a relief to know there remains still another year in which to make good, if our efforts have not been of the hest heretofore! ,Xre we going to make the lmest o that one remaining year? f 6 THE BANNER VVith the prestige that invariably accompanies the name of Senior, and with Vlfashington and points south as a glorious goal to our endeavors, what is there to restrain us-especially when one re- members the pep, vim, and vigor of our illustrious class? VVe may be famed for our social endeavors, for our talent is exceptional and we may score on the llonor Roll, since some of us may need a good standing for college records, and for business references. Commencement will mark the close of the successful career of the class of 1931, and it will also mark the beginning of that one year morel' for l93Z. llere's to successl Marjorie Wiainwriglit, ,32 CLASS POEM just look at dear old R. H. S. And see if really you donlt confess You love it, and hate to leave it. Quaint memories of the past now come Before you, and enchant you like some Charm cast on you, and made fast. You now look back u pon the days l , VVhen Class of '3l', a pleasing phrase, Had a long way to go, yes, time seem slow. Now, when the day of departure is near, R. H. S. is to you even more dearg -Much more, than ever before. But since custom has it that when you receive Your hard worked for Diploma-you must leave, You willingly pass, making room for the oncoming Class. And after all, you want to become something Distinguished and noted in everything You do in the future work ahead of you.

Our officers were as follows: llresident, Robert lfarrellg Vice- president..Marcella Genovesig Secretary, 'Phyllis lffleffrong and Treas- urer, Maurice Spurling. lt is fitting to add here that the boys are very bashful, since they failed to attend the meeting. Soon, tryouts were held for the .lunior Prom l lay, Mi: Bob . Room .15 was crowded with eager candidates, and finally the more for- tunates ones secured parts. Friday, December ICS was the great day chosen for thelhlunior l'romenade. Outside it was raining. snowing and hailing, yet our feelings were not dampened. XYe were determined to make this event a success. And success it was from the beginning to the very end even when ,lack Oloughlin discovered that he was a bit too tall when he carried Maurice Spurling on the stage on his shoulders. Spurlingls head inet the doorway with a resounding bang and his loose wig fluttered to the floor amid roars of laughter. Danc- ing followed in the gym. The gym was beautifully decorated and formed a splendid background for the lovely gowns of the girls. Doris llewitt won second prize in the .Xlumni llrize Speaking Con- test. The seniors were now preparing for their annual W'ashington Trip and it was necessary for us to give them a farewell party. On April 25, we entertained the seniors in the gym.', Dancing was enjoyed and later in the evening refreshments were served. Marcella Genovesi and Arline Sullivan entertained with a delightful dance. t'XYe hope to see them on the stage in the future.J Sunday night brought forth a large crowd to bid the Seniors farewell. There was much weeping among some of the junior girls. tXYe wonder why?l. Now that the seniors had gone and returned, our thoughts began to be directed towards raising funds for our trip. Our first attempt to raise money was in the form of a .lunior Picnic at Rau's. A goodly sum was realized, and our hopes began to soar in anticipation of our trip which would occur the following spring. Again the boys carried away the numerals in baseball. The summer seemed to have taken wings and fairly flown. And now we were back in school ready for our last adventure. We elected the following oflicers: llresident, Maurice Spurlingg Vice-president, Marcella Genovesig Treasurer, Iack O'l.oughling Assistant-treasurer, Ruth Neumann: and secretary, Doris Hewitt. We provided for an assistant-treasurer since we knew we were going to have f'lots', of money. Yve were quite disappointed when we discovered that senior speeches were to be continued again this year. They were varied and interesting. Mary Tyler's l,atin was greatly appreciated. Our first big business venture was a tent at the Hazardville fair. A good time was had by all. tThat's sufficientl. Un Halloween a novelty dance was given in the A'gym by the members of our class. Time slipped on and we soon faced the pros- pect of our Senior Dramatics. Be An Optimistl' was the play chosen. It was discovered that -Tack OlT.oughlin could even surpass Isaac Golditch Cllarold Geisslerl on making money. THE ,BANNER 21 After being entertained by the juniors at a send-off party we were ready to embark on our longed for..trip. On to Richmond was the cry. Needless to say we enjoyed ourselves and were very much impressed by the beauty of the south. Monday morning found very few who could concentrate on their lessons, especially history. 'Every afternoon saw a general gathering at the end of the senior corridor. XVinged Victory had a good deal of company, till Mr. Howe decided that it would be wiser to clear out the hall at two-thirty. Pictures and studying occupied the remainder of the time. tllarold Geissler found time in the chemistry laboratory, however, to discover that it isnit necessary to use ink to get your hands blackened. Ile did it the day before the operetta, Imagine thatll Now that our four years have passed. old friends must part. Some of us will seek a higher education, others will enter the business world. XYho knows what the future holds? XYe may furnish a second liinstein. tXVho knows?J This is our last farewell and a parting thanks to Mr. llovve and our kind teachers. May they always have students like usl OUR DREAM COME TRUE Monday morning! ,Nt last the longed for day had dawned bright and clear. At seven sharp, after we were all dutifully counted by our chaperons, Mr. Howe, Bliss llart, and Miss Sproat, the special train pulled out of Rockville, the chattering group waving good-bye to their tearful parents and friends. It was only a short time before Manches- ter joined us, welcomed by a rousing cheer. The train ride didn't seem so'very long, for we played cards, had our fortunes told and otherwise enjoyed ourselves. lin route we enjoyed a chicken dinner. The special menus were used for autographs later. We arrived at the Union Station, Vliashington, about 2:3513 P. M., which was early. and proved our illustrious class to he an exception. XYe were immediately packed into buses to go ':rubber-necking in the residential section, where we saw the beautiful homes of many promi- ment people, and the foreign embassies. Then we were driven to the Zoological 'l'ark, where we were allowed ten short minutes to become acquainted with various animals. Several, fascinated, were nearly left at the snake house. Then from there we went to the magnificent XYash- ington Cathedral, still unfinished, We thought ourselves in some other land, as we wereled throught thelong vaulted corridors andthe dimly lighted chapel. VVe know we helped in its building, for didnit we drop a coin into a collection box? Next we drove over the Francis Scott Key Bridge to Arlington Cemetery where we saw the graves of the soldiers who died in the various wars, and the Temple of Fame. After visiting the grand Curtis-l.ee Mansion we went into the huge marble amphitheater. Many of us having had our pictures snapped in the president's chair, we went outside to the tomh of the f'Unknown Soldier. Here the fact that we are an exception was again proved 22 THE BANNER when two members of the class managed to make the guard smile and even provoked some heard words. Upon our arrival before the ,Lincoln Memorial we were all very much impressed by its beauty and especially by the naturalness of the huge statute of Lincoln. Within. lt was not until 13:30 that, tired and hungry, we arrived at the New Colonial Hotel, where, after securing some of the ilost suitcases and depositing our wraps in our rooms, we hastened to supper. LX few then danced to the accompaniment of a squeaky ,victrola, while others, weighed down by Duty , wrote cards to their folks back home. Upon closer examination of our rooms we found that many were blessed with a radio, so we had no fear of being homesick. That evening we all went to the Congressional Library, which when illuminated,' is very gorgeous. Many enjoyed the lovely mosaic paintings on the ceiling. By a special letter of permission we went through the stacks, and saw a bookautomatically obtained at the desk within a few moments. lYhen we returned to the hotel we kept the chaperons busy trying to keep us quiet while we enjoyed l'. parties in our rooms. I wonder how many bottles and pitchers of water were thrown down by the boys. t'L'mbrellas were useful if you looked out of the windowlj Tuesday morning we were all up Carly QU and after one of those famous egg breakfasts we taxied tour favorite mode of travell to the National Capitol, where we visited the Senate and the House. Neither were in session. One group was lucky enough to meet Senator Bing- ham of Connecticut. XYho will forget the high spot of the morning, the ride in the dinky subway which connects the government build- ings? It was a welcome relief from walking liblunior, be prepared to wear out all your shoesfl From the Capitol we walked to the National Museum where we saw the Roosevelt Game collection. Across the street in the Smithsonian Institute we first saw Lindbergh's plane. VX'e had just about time enough to see the dresses of the presidents, wives and pick out our model automobile before we left. In the afternoon we boarded an excursion boat which took us to Mount Vernon, passing Admiral Byrdls ship in dock. It was rather windy, and we wished we hadn't left our extra wraps in the hotel. It was especially amusing when boys attempting to be grown up, paraded the deck with long cigars in their mouths! At Mount Vernon, we were marshalled into line, windblown and anything but beautiful, to have our pictures taken. Then we wandered through the llashington home and the gardens, surrounded by century old boxwood hedges. The quiet beauty and secluded naturalness of VVashington's tomb will al- ways be remembered. .Xs that evening was our only free evening. we all went to the Theatre or to dances. Upon our return the house detective was kept busy trying to find from which of the boys' rooms the most noise came. Not a few people were caught still awake when the milkman came. lYe wonder if they ever caught up their sleep! lVednesday, which dawned cool and cloudy, was our last com- plete day in Xllashington and we made the most of it. Vlfe visited the THE BANNER 23 Art Gallery where we saw some artists sketching. From there we walked to the Red Cross building, and after examining the war relics we decided no more war for us. In the Science Buildings, our next stop of interest, we could push buttons to our hearts content, and even see the color of our voices. In the Pan American building, where we saw all the flags of the Pan-American countries, it was difficult to get the boys away without the parrot. Oh-h-hl The XYhite House. After a long wait we were led through the various rooms, including the ballroom and state dining rooms. The flowers were beautiful, but most were out of reach. XYe were disappointed not to see President Hoover, so later a few went back and managed tosee the top of his head. In the afternoon the girls went souvenir hunting or tried to get some sleep, while the boys went to a 'baseball game. Many took the opportunity to ,take a thrilling l?j plane ride. That evening we held our class dance from nine until twelve. XYe noticed our number grad- ually increased during the evening. Many had an opportunity to meet friends and also acquaintances from Rockville attending schools in XYashington. Thursday morning taxies whisked us to the XYashington Monu- ment, from the top of which all NVashington is visible. Many walked up, but descended in the elevator. The wiser ones who walked down never did finish counting the steps, although they came to the, decision that there were fifty landings. Our next visit found us in the Bureau of lfngraving and Printing, where we saw more money made than we ever expect to see again. XYe also went through the Treasury, but, being tired and our interest waning, we returned to the hotel to eat the best QFJ meal of any we'd had there. In the afternoon, buses took us together with the Manchester group to the train bound for Annapolis. After leaving the elec- tric train we went to the old state house and saw the spot where VVashington resigned command of the continental army. I won- der if those who stood on the spot in hopes of telling only the truth ever after were successful. XYe walked to the Naval Academy and ,first visited the tomb of john l'aul jones. XYe noticed the envy in many eyes when they saw the gold rope around it. Then we inspected the dormitory and gym, and also saw the cadets drilling on the drill ground. fXYe had to pull some of the girls awayj Upon our return to Baltimore, the city of white night-capped chimneys and white steps, we boarded the City of Baltimore for one of the most thrilling parts of the trip, down the Chesapeake. Everyone managed to keep from being sea-sick, especially during the dancing and deck promanading after supper. NVe turned ini' early, and Mr. Howe, fearing the boys missed the hotel night clerk, went on duty. W'hat was that unearthly noise at 5:30 A. M.? just a call to get up. Soonp we had changed to a little boat and reached Norfolk, where we explored l'?J a battleship being repaired, and saw the dry docks. Next we had a long bus-ride to XYilliam and Mary's College, 24 THE BANNER where we ate dinner. The James River bridge over which we passed was live miles long. After dinner some explored the College grounds, while the.rest seeking refuge from the rain, settled down to sleep in the buses. Reaching ,lamestown Island in the rain we visited the old church yard and other historic spots. In XYilliamsburg most of us slept in the enclosed pews while an old darky speeled off some history. lt is impossible to mention all the historie sites which our charming guides pointed out here and at Yorktown. .Xfter passing llampton Roads twhere the Monitor and the Marrimac foughtj, and seeing Newport News in the distance, we came to Old Point Com- fort. Since the boat wasn't in, we drove by Fortress Monroe, and then alighting, visited the New Chamberlin Hotel. How different from the Colonial! If our money hadnlt about given out, I wonder how many would have been found missing, XYhen the boat docked we all rushed aboard for supper. Another enjoyable evening was spent on deck, after the lurching of the boat had somewhat subsided. The last clay oft our trip dawned Cloudy and gray. Leaving the train which took us to l hiladelphia, we spent about two and a half hours,touring the business sections and Fairmont l'ark, visiting Frank- lin's grave, the mint, and lndepenclence llall, where we ysaw the old liberty bell fthe famous erackij and signed up in a visitors, book. lX'hen we boarded the train for the last lap of our journey, we realized how much this trip had really meant to us. 'X'Ve were feeling homesick for XYashington by the time New York was reached, and when Man- chester left us we boosted up our spirits by singing. VVhen we reache ed Rockville on the gloomy Saturday evening, tired and saddened, we knew that no matter how we went to lYashington again, it would never be the same as with our own famous class and cheerful chaperons. Xlve wish here to thank Miss Sproat, Miss llart and Mr. llowe for their patient guidance and care. Although we know our trip will never be equalled we wish the undergraduates all happiness and suceess in at- taining the goal of their high school dreamsfXfVASlUNGTON.

Pilot: Look, llere's a New York station. Can you imagine that? There's Homer Bill and Bill Hahn. They're succeeding Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway, those famous orchestra leaders. Onels trying to, outdo the other. Cafvtaiizz O Yes! I remember them. Even in High they took the part of two black-face comedians. l.et's tune in on different stations and see if we can see anymore of OLII' classmates of the class of,'3l. Cafvtabz: There's Pauline Kahan who, they say. is even greater than Paderewski. They broadcast her playing over nationwide hook- ups, and I heard she played before several of lTurope's royalty. Pilot: Yes, she certainly has succeeded. There goes Flora Del Bene Virginia Brace, Edna Pierson and Ida Giacomini in that large department store. They say they are rapidly working their way and will soon own the whole business. Passenger: Gosh, I hope they do. Then by the time we get back to the States we'll be able to call on them. There are a few more from our class in New York, aren't there? C'ajifai1'11: Oh, yes. They seem to like the big city. l'aul Brache and John, Porter are customs officers at the port of New York and they say they are very strict. Pilot: Oh, an ocean liner has just docked. I.et's see who's on it. There are Madeline Schmidt, the famous Dart fsisters, and Eliza- beth Ott. Of course, you knoxv they are members of that dis- tinguished dancing ensemble that has been traveling around the world. ' Pas.vm1ym': Everyone has heard of them. Isn't that someone else we should know? Captain: That's the famous Sir lohn O'l..oughlin, American Ambassa- dor to the court of St. James. The title was given by the King because he was the only one who didn't go home when that sec- ond lYorld XYar broke out. 28 THE BANNER Pilot: I wonder why he didn't go home? XYho are those men coming down the gang plank now with all the baggage? Passenger: Those are the Cfieromiller brothers, Leon lYolk, Frank Niederwerfer and l3unnyH Young, just coming back from hunt- ing big game in Africa. They certainly did have luck didnlt they? Cc1jvta1'1z.: I'll say so. That seems to be all we know around here. l,et's see if XYoodrow Hall is still at the Zoo. He's the most famous lion trainer of all times. I've heard that he has great power over those animals and no one has been killed for three days. Pilot: That's a record to be proud of. We ought toistry NYashington now. Do your remember the wonderful time we had on our trip? Passeizgcrz llo I? But look! Some liked it so well they're there now. There is Mary Burke driving that bus. XYasn!t she fond of our bus driverls seat? Captain: Yes, and she seems to like her job. Over there in Arlington is John Buckley. He goes to the National Cemetery every day and is getting old trying to End out the difference between the colored and the white soldiers! graves. Pilot: I wonder if he'll ever succeed? 0, look, there's Lawrence Vetschke driving the subway car under the Capitol. Now the Seniors won't have to beg for rides. Pas.re1'zge1': Harry Bermont is speaker of the House, and some speaker he is. They're always quarreling but he used to like to talk anyway so that ought to satisfy him. Cidflflliflli It ought to and it does. But have you heard that Donald Gehring is vice-president, and the country is praying that the president will die? Pilot: He was a quiet boy and l'm glad he has done so well. l,et's see whatls going on in California. Passellgcr: Boy, that's some ranch! lYho's the lucky owner? C'afvtoz'1z: Oh, that's George Dartls ranch for raising pure-bred cattle. Heis had a hall built where the lf-H boys can stay so they won't have to camp out as they did near the .-'Xgricultural Building in Xl'ashington. . Pilot: I wonder if any of our classmates are in the movies',? Prisseizgcr: Letls look and see. We haven't seen a movie in so long, ,l've almost forgotten about them. Cflflfllilli How can you forget them when the list of stars is headed by members of our class of Wil? Look there's Rosella Miffitt, that dashing beauty. No picture is complete without her. Over THE BANNER 29 there on the Paramount lot you can Asee I.ena Rothe, Helen Bush, Florence Ziegler and Naomi Hinheinier. Pilot: XYe certainly are represented. XYho is that conducting a gym class? Pass4'11gf1': XYhy that's Stella Pliska. She only admits the girls of the socially famous to her select school. They say she has or- ganized a group of basketball teams, traveling under the guid- ance of Mary Tyler, another line coach, that hasn't been defeat- ed once. ' Captain: I wonder why those two girls don't go back to R. H. and try to form a team that will half equal the one some of our classmates played on. Though I suppose that would be quite impossible. Pilot: I guess it would. Ill,SCCI1lS to me, I heard a group of our boys owned a steamship line from San Francisco to China. I wonder how they are getting along? Pa.v.fe11gc'r: Those boys are liarl Howard, Staklinski, I.evine and l.ip- man. Some one tried to have them prosecuted for monopoly of trade, but the government likes them so well, it wouldn't prose- cute. Cajwiaifnz Yes, l've heard about them. There are two aeroplanes. I suppose l.ieberman and Robert.Farrell are racing again. They had a non-stop race around the world the other day. I wonder what they'll do next. l Pilot: llo you remember Ifdmund Burke? He's running the Brown Derby? that famous eating place for the country celebrities and royal vsitors, He has for hislassistants Hilda Miller, Pauline Weber, and Margaret Finley. No wonder royalty goes there. I assc1zgr'r: Turn the dial and let's see if any of the,class went South. Gosh! there's Hannah Lavitt. She owns that factory which de- votes its entire time to the making ofh slips. She has started a new industry for the South and I have heard she owns several factories all over the world. CiUf'ftI1.11Z That makes me thinki XYhy not look in Europe for some of our friends. We will try England first. Uh, I thought so. There are Arline Sullivan .and Anita XYeir. They are employed by the King to teach his children to ride. They must have been good to get there. Pilot: But what about listher and livelyn Barnett? They teach the future rulers of England their three r's. They surely were smart, werenlt they? Passefzgvrz Yes, they were. I bet they make good teachers. Are there any others in England? t i l 30 THE BANNER Pilot: Sure, there are Frank Ellsworth and Harold Geissler who are over here to present to the Historical Society of England the book they wrote on the History of Broad Brook, past and pre- sent. They are visiting Edward Burke who is teaching French in Oxford. Passcizgerz He always was good at that. Look! there are blames Hall and Clinton Charter. What are they doing? Captain: Oh, they have charge of the fog horns over here. You know the fog gets thick very often, but no one has been drowned since they've been on the job. Pilot: Did you know they run a ferry between England and France now? Ever sinceStephie Orlowski had such a hard job trying to save Iosephine Uzemblo who was trying to swi1n the Chan- nel. Marjorie lleffernan and Doris Hewitt are in charge of the ferry itself and Mary DeCarli collects the tickets and money. Passoizgor: l-et,s see whom we can fmd from the class of '31 in France. Captain: Oh boy, there are Maurice Spurling and Carlton Cliff who run a ladies' dressmaking establishment. They have for their models no others than Fredia Duell, Jennie Griegly, Helen McCarthy and Helen Murphy. No wonder they have so much luck! Pilot: just look who are playing tennis. the famous pair, Luffman and Grous. They're playing on the Davis Cup Team, and I bet you they bring home that cup for another year. Passozigwz lsn't that Eva Gale? I heard she's trying to introduce baseball into France and make it popular among the children. You know she was an ardent fan. Captain-: Yes, thatls she. Now turn to Switzerland. XVhy, there's Paul Phillips guiding a group: of people up the Alps. XVe al- ways knew held rise high ,in the world. Pilot: Over there, there is a health school for children run by Mar- cella Ciienovesi and Margaret Kabrick. They were very fond of that milk cure, especially milk chocolate. Passenger: XYhy not go back to America now and see if any of our classmates are still in Connecticut? Cajvtciiizz That wouldn't be a bad idea. O. K. pilot, turn her back. Here is a scene from Tolland. A very fashionable school for the girl's Tolland elite is managed by Grace Kurimai and Cath- erine Zelinka. They say they are aided bylfennie Mazur. Pilot: Now we can see dear old Rockville. Margaret Allgair, Ger- trude White and Rossetta Cassatti are earning their living by conducting a dancing school.

Dk Dk :lf Pls Pls A SENIOR HUNCH XYe are the students of the Senior Class With our four years nearly out of gas, NVe studied, and never gave the teachers any sass Because it doesnlt pay when you want to pass. As Freshmen we were a very dumb bunch, But in the second year we got a bright hunch, And we didnit want to be like the famous old dunce NYho sat in the corner and who never learned much. And now as Seniors We should like to say That close at hand comes the judgment day, On which we are told whether we go or we stay. We all hope for the best and that's that-Good Day.
