Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1951-11-08

RMHS student Jay Beisser
knows from experience that "Hon-
esty is the best policy" Jay was
sent $508, 666.26 by the government
on his income tax return. Jay was
actually supposed to receive
$21.83.
Jay mailed the check back to the
government.
In return for Jays honesty, Jay
and his family were offered a
course in public speaking at the
Dale Carnegie Institute. Jay, Mr..
Beisser, and jays sister, June, a
tenth grade student, also of
RMHS, are taking the course. Mrs.
Beisser declined the scholarship in
order to take a course in sewing at
Richard Montgomery night school.
Mrs. Rusk, jays English teach
er, at the invitation of the Bets
sers, went along with Jay and fam
lily as guest to see how the
course is taught. The class Mrs.
Rusk visited with Jay was set up
as series of impromptu debates.
jays topic was woman should
stay in the home and not go into
business" Mr.. Beisser debated
that "boys are easier to raise than
girls" June's topic was the mega
tive side of the question, "men are
more logical and less emotional
than women"
Mrs. Rusk reported that Jay was
picked as one of the three top de-
baters of the evening, and Mr..
Beisser was top debater on his own
team, while June was second best.
June has since won a prize as top
speaker of the evening. The Bets
sers are up against competition
provided by class of forty mem
bers, including lawyer, a profess
sor's wife and a naval officer.
