EDITORIAL CLASS OF 1938 UNE 22, 1938! Through all the years, centuries, and eons of time, it seems incredible that there never has been, and never will be again, this same day- that never again will such a day be seen on an up-to-date calendar. And inciden- tally, never again will there be another body of people labeled, Rockville High School, Class of 1938 . There are approximately 2,000,000,000 people in the world, only 1x20,000,000-1 may boast of belonging to this select group. VVe may, indeed, be fully justified in feeling proud of this, for an honor without meas- ure has been conferred on this fortunate class, an honor which we may never fully understand. We have had the opportunity of having an understanding and peerless faculty to assist each one of us in constructing his own vehicle called edu- cation which he will use the rest of his lifeg they have pointed out to us the gen- eral direction and have helped start us off on our quest for the priceless haven containing the three temples we all seek-fame, fortune, and happiness. With such an advantage, we may well succeed in our quest, and each of us will be shift- ing into third with the firm conviction that it will be a snap, Whether it will be or not depends now entirely upon the driver. Several modern rockets will start off at a furious pace-and will end up against a tree, a few sleepy buggies, losing their way, will be sidetracked into a byroadg spiritless motorists will run out of gas, careless drivers will skid off the highway into the inescapable mudg but the drivers who are prduent and careful, who follow the signboards and listen to the dictates of reason, will be the ones who in the end will roll triuniphantly down Broadway in silk hats, to the music of rustling confetti, followed by envious eyes muttering, Lucky dog! He graduated from Rockville, Class of '38! MO TTOESU HESE days all our attention has been centered upon the Seniors. The cor- ridors have been humming with forecasts of graduation frocks, nominations for the class ballot, and ideas for the class roll. On that class roll is a column that looks rather insignificant. It is headed, By-Word . It sounds silly to say that a person's character and ability may be portrayed by that column. But those few words opposite one of our Seniors' names may let his whole character out of the bag! For instance, it is immediately assumed that a person whose motto is Heavens is rather naive, and timid, while a person whose motto is She don't look like much, but she's a honey on the road- is certainly original and easy to get along with. K V Sometimes a Senior really tries to fool us undergraduates. Under his 'By- Wordl' will be Aw, heckn, but under his Disposition will be Sophisticated Now, what can be a more glaring inconsistency? No, the Seniors can't fool us. Our younger generation is much too wide awake! Of course, there are many Seniors, the school's older generation, who are wide-awake, too. Some of our bright Seniors have a motto of Try anything once . You can't hold them down! In five years they will probably be sending Mr. Howe huge endowment funds to build a new swimming pool . . . for our future alumni editor may be sorrowfully writing-K'The class of 1939 has lost a member. He was killed . . . Nj. Anyway, the up and coming people, the people' who will show up at our alumni dances and contribute to the Athletic Fund and send their little boys and girls to Dear Old R.H.S. , are the ones who have a by-word they can depend upon. Why don't you glance back a few pages at the Class Roll' and do a little mind-reading yourself? THE BANNER Page Seven
