By John MG0ruder

In 1914, Richard Montgomery
boys were desperate to secure q
tackle football team. When you
strolled down the halls at Richard
Montgomery High School, your eye
could catch groups Of boys talking
about ideas in getting this team.
But this team they were told, would
cost thousand dollars. They had
only two hundred dollars, from n
magazine campaign of that year,
to finance it.
The year 1915 brought about a
solution TO this question. They
received the finances for the team
from the student body who sold
magazines in 1914, from the sale
of tickets to the games, and from
the support OF the Booster Club
made up of local business men.
Practices were held every after.
noon from 4 to 6. The boys ran
through only the fundamentals be-
cause the equipment had not yet
arrived. About a week before the
first game, the team received their
equipment, consisting of shoulder
pads, kidney pads, helmets of blue
and jerseys of white with black
letters. The pants were bought
last year for the touch football

policy of presenting impartially
all candidates for the coming cleo
ton, the Montgomery County

In former years these "candi-
dates teas" have been held Just
prior to the November election,
but this year an effort is being
made to arouse greater interest
in the June primaries, so the date
has been moved up and all AZ of
the candidates for the offices men,

ready many acceptances have been
received.
The Rockville members of the
Montgomery County League are
acting as hostesses and making
arrangements for the afternoon,

every effort is made to give each
one a hearing. 1t is hoped that
during the afternoon there will be
time for most of these League

Arthur Joseph
New Head Of
School Board
Junior College For County
Approved By Board OF
Education

Arthur B. Joseph of Takoma
Park was elected president of the
Board Of Education Tuesday. Mrs.
Helen c. Walker Of Bethesda was
elected vice president. Mr.. Joseph
is executive assistant to the presi-
dent Of the Bliss Electrical School.
Mr.. Joseph came to Montgomery
county 81 years ago from New
London, Conn. He was appointed
member Of the Board of Educa-
ton four years ago.
During the Board meeting, q
Committee consisting of Mrs. Fern
Schneider, Thomas W. Pyle, Mrs.
Mary W. Roeming, Miss Lucille
Appleby and Hugh G. Price, re-
ported en- survey they had made
of the feasibility of a junior coll
lege as part of the public school
system Of the county. They said
almost fifty students were eager
to enroll, while about 500 ex-
pressed definite interest in either
enrolling, or in knowing more
about the proposal.
Under the proposed system the
county superintendent of schools
would appoint dean to organize
the school, for which application
for accrediating would be made to
the State Department of Educa-
ton. 1t was thought that about
$4,000 would have to be provid-.
ed by the county to defray initial
costs and this would be amortized
over a period Of from 5 to 10
years. A tuition fee Of about $50
is expected to be charged to de-
fray operating and amortization
costs. A charge of $25 a quarter
on students who are non-residents
Of the county was also recon-
mended.
The report suggested that the
college be located at the Bethesda
Chevy Chase High School, build
ing, that it be conducted after the
close Of regular school hours, and
that it be opened in September.
