Flower Hill Church of
the Brethren

"The Dawning", a beautiful reli-
gious pageant with a cast of forty
five characters, will be presented in
the Flower Hill Church of the Breth-
rem just north of Redland, by the
dramatic society of the University
Park Church of the Brethren on Sum
day night, April 10, at o'clock.
This superb religious drama is a
story of the resurrection. Much of the
language of the pageant is that of the
New Testament with its beauty and
simplicity. The music composed by
Lyman R. Bayard suits very well the
mood of the story. The characters are
all cOstumed in authentic copies of
the dress Of New Testament times
and make a colOrful picture.

Rockville Girls
Get Chance
At National

The Rockville Girls Basketball team
in the past three years has set up one
of the most outstanding records
through this part of the country. They
have not lost game in this time and
have to their credit total of eighty
three consecutive wins. We feel that
it is we'll for the county as whole
and Rockville in particular to know
this as it is something to be pretty
proud of. Our Rockville girls have en-
tered the District Amateur Basket
ball Tournament eight times. The
first year they won the Junior Cham
pionship and have held the Senior
Girls Unlimited Championship for the
past three years, winning again this
season. Unlike other girls teams near
Washington the Rockville girls do
not confine their opponents to this inn
mediate vicinity, but play any and all
girls teams that they are able to con-
tact.
Just in case you did not attend the
big game this past season, the Rock
vile girls were contacted by Phila-
delphia newspaper man to arrange a
game for the champion girls team of
the Pennsylvania region. They have
in the past three years won ninety out
of ninety-two games. When the Phila-
delphia team, The Leader Hi-Lassies,
walked out on the floor the Rockville
girls looked like a bunch of midgets,
but some very good products come in
small packages and these small pack
ages in Rockville proved to be just a
little too much for the famed Phila-
delphia team. The score when the final
whistle blew showed Rockville with
thirty EIGHT points and the Phillies
with the total of eighteen, our girls
winning by twenty points.
The Rockville girls have defeated
the Hagerstown girls, who by the way
are the Maryland State Champions,
five times in the past three years.
They have also played such teams as
Warrenton, Va; Annapolis, Md; Nc
Lean, Va; Fredericksburg, Va; Fred
erick, Md; Greencastle, Pa; Lees
burg, Va, and all the leading teams
in Washington.
Now few words about the Nation
ais. The Rockville girls were notified
that they were eligible to enter in the
National Girls Basketball Champion
ships held at Wichita, Kansas. The
unfortunate part of this being that
they did not know until three days
before the tournament was to start
that they could go. 1t was, or rather
would have been, great honor tb
the Rockville girls to play in this
tournament, but they have not given
up hope. 1t has been their ambition
since they started playing and they
have been playing for quite a while
now. They have hopes of getting the
chance to go next year, and what do
you say that we. the whole county
get in back of these girls and show
the rest of the country that our girls
are just as good any day in the week,
as they are, and send these girls out
to the Nationals next year?
The Rockville team is as follows:
forwards, Margaret Lanier, captain;
Margareuite Howard, Audrey Naws-
baum, Joe Smith, Kay Lawler; guards,
Myrtle Hoffman, Jean Smith, Edith
Koiner, Nellie May Norris and Mil
dred Hutchinson; coach, Leroy Rick
EFT, who at one time was teacher, as
some of you may remember, at Rock
vile High School.
