Students also helped to NOW the
lawn, keep paper off the grounds
and make small repairs through
out the school.
In the graduating class of 1914,
there were eighteen boys. By the
time The Rocket of 1914 went to
press, already three boys were in
the service.
When school reopened, the fall
of 1914, the Victory Corps once
more became the student govern
ment.
The curriculum, however, re-
manned much the same with reg
ular classes replacing the peace
time clubs.
The size of the senior class OF
1945 was greatly reduced because
SO many left before graduation to
work or enter the service. Most
of the boys who graduated are
now, or have been, in the service.
The students did not complain
much about the many. shortages
and were only too willing to con-
tribute to the many drives, but
what they consider their greatest
sacrifice was the loss of their
principal, Daryl w. Shaw, who
entered the Navy. In Eben Peek,
however, they have found a capa-
bic and efficient principal.
The past year has been an event.

with the coming Of "vE' and 'svJ,'

Now Richard Montgomery must
reconvert to It's peacetime activi-
ties.
The blue star, on the service

As they face the problems Of
peace, the students Of Richard
Montgomery high school pledge
themselves, that through. the know

have the wisdom to make this a
world Of harmonious nations. Only
then will they be able to say that
those twelve. boys did not die in
vain.

America celebrated We Day on
May 9Th, 1945. Now one year la
ter, Richard Montgomery pauses
to review it's part in the total
victory. On December 9Th, 1941
mobilization for war began all
over the country in all walks Of
life. All businesses and organiza-
tions, from the largest manufac-
turing concern TO the smallest
ladies' aid society, were affected,
However, few realize the changes
which war necessitated n in the
schools and the part they played
in achieving final victory. 'aa
/. AT the outbreak Of war, the stu
dents of Richard Montgomery high
school were widely scattered in
neighboring schools as they had
been since their school burned. The
new school was occupied when
school resumed January Q, 1912,
after the Christmas holidays
III March, 1916, many of the
students were surprised and
shocked by the seriousness of war
when the school was prepared for
possible air attacks. Abel A. Nor
ris, science teacher, took d course
in defense against bombs, and
passed on his knowledge to the
students who became air raid
wardens in the school. \
By June, 1914, thirteen gradu-
ates from the class of 1941, and
twenty-five from the class of 1912
had entered the service.

Any of you know of a good
Get rich quick" scheme? You
see we suddenly want to be rich
at least richer than the average,
VIGOROUSLY ill-paid Country editor
for we want to learn to fly!
Ever since we had our first plane
ride, in Florida in February, the
man of the house has been accns-
ing US of trying to make our good
old Chevrolet fly - but wei just
cannot see enough from the
ground-we like birds eye, view.
Dropping in Sunday afternoon
at the air field on the White Keys
Farm of e. H. Davis, we could mot
resist an invitation to fly over our
village of LaytonsviIle and. the
Hneighboring farmland. There were
the fields Of newly cut wheat,
with strips of green grass run
ming down them in a neat pattern,
marking them as the corn fields
of last year = brooks running in
snake-like manner-here a clump
of woodland - there a house and
garden "a barn - field of new
ly plowed corn - all laid out in
crazy quilt fashion with fences
forming the feather stitching with
which such quilts are held to-
gether.
How small the farms appear
from the air = until you turn
and look at the large air field and
see the cars as mere toys, and
realize that those small specks
nearby are the husband and
friends you left standing there
just a minute before! The red
brick house. on Rolling Ridge
Farm, with it's numerous chin
neys and spacious grounds, looks
more than ever like Christmas
card = and just beyond, our own
abode on it's half acre, is a mere
handkerchief, fringed in green.
The air field is ideally situated
= just off the highway and Dor
dered with woodland at safe dis
lance away. The pilots are young,
courteous and skilled, so "going
up" promises to be the thing to
do this summer.
Perhaps residents Of this coun-
ty have always been air-minded.
Remember the little story we told
you several years ago, about the
quiet Quaker in PoolesvilIe who
was one Of our pioneer flyers?
1t was back in the summer of
1888 that Basil Peasants, having {
observed the soaring crows and {
buzzards, saw no reason why man {
should not fly like the birds, and {
made himself a pair of wings.
When all was ready he invited !
his Poolesville neighbors to come I
see him fly from the roof of (
building on the Waesche farm
where he worked. At the appoint
ed time ne climbed to the roof,
adjusted the contraption to his
arms and jumped off. Somehow
the wings failed to work, and
amid scofing cries of "Flop, Bias,
Flop" this Montgomery County
Icarus fell to the ground and
broke his leg. Both Mrs. George
Willard and Mr.. Will Aud have
told us this tale. One
of the Aud ancestors were present
it seems.
There have been several pictur-
esque characters in Poolesville, OF
which old inhabitants speak with
respect, but always smile when

Knowland 10 Head Inquiry
On u. 5. Lumber Export
By the A.sociotsd Preu

A Senate Agriculture Subcommit-
tee laid the groundwork yesterday
for an investigation of plans for
the export of a billion board feet
of lumber this year in the face of
the current domestic housing short
age.
Contrary to precedent, the group
is headed by Republican, young
Senator Knowland of California.
He and Senator Butler, Republican,
Of Nebraska sponsored the resolu-
ton for the inquiry.
Senator Butler told reporter
that the apparent explanation for
the export of American lumber is
that sellers can realize $40 to $40
more per thousand board feet on
the foreign markets. Senator
Knowland said he had been unable
to nail down the exact ditferential
but hoped to do SO when the hear
ings start in a week or ten days.
Senator Knowland said the Civil
ian Production Administration has
authorized the export of 250,O00, 600
board feet in the first quarter of
1916, with approximately 100000, :
600 feet expected to be shipped dur
ing the entire year, unless plans are
changed.
Senator Knowland figures 10000
board feet are used in building a
moderate priced house, and on that
basis estimated enough lumber to
build 100000 homes is earmarked
for export.
