Lenient Drunk Sentence
Raised After Escape

A man who escaped from
Municipal Court after being
convicted for drunkenness on
Thanksgiving Day was captured
and returned yesterday to find
his sentence raised to the maxi
mum.
Samuel Headon. 80, colored, of
the 1900 block of Capitol avenue
NE, was sentenced last week by
Municipal Court Judge Thomas
C. Scalley to pay a $40 fine or
serve 20 days in jail.
A few moments later, he
strayed from the other prisoners
and confiscated vacant elevator
to ride to freedom.
Headon was rearrested at his
home yesterday.
Soon afterward, his attorney
Meredith c. Coffman, told Judge
Scalley the escape was something
anybody would have done under
the same circumstances.
Judge Scalley, however, re-

Group Discusses Taxes

The Sixteenth Street High

sion centered around alterna-
tives to the increases. A higher
annual Federal grant to the Dis

at taxing permanent residents of
other municipalities who earn
their living within the District
were among the devices sug-
gested.

is 100, as regulated by the Fire
Marshall. The old gyms seating
capacity was 600. You can easily
see what an improvement that
makes. The use of the gym has
been booked up through June.
Then there are our bleachers
which fold against the wall when
not in use, the locker rooms, the
walk-through showers, the stage,
and our sound-proof band and
music rooms which are only few
of the many wonderful things we
have to display.
While water is being used by the
showers, more water is being
pumped into the central heating
unit. This operation keeps a plenti-
full supply of water on hand for
the showers. The showers are set
so that, as you walk through them,
the water gradually gets cooler.
(You should hear some of the girls
scream as they near the end.)
The total price of the addition
was $50S,500. Some of the prices
of the various equipment in the
gym are these: electric scoreboard,
$1,000; the wood for the gym
floor, $1,000; and the bleachers
and doors, $4,000.
If l went through a description
of everything, it would take pages.
Why don't you come and see it for
yourself? Then you'll understand
why students of Richard Mont
gomery go around looking "as
proud as peacocks."
We hope to have a lot of par
ents, friends, and newcomers to
the community come out to see
our school. Boys and girls have
been picked to act as guides in
doors and outdoors and conduct
you around the school if you wish.
Outdoors you will want to notice
the new bus turn-around at the
rear of the campus near the south
entrance. Entirely planned by the
landscape planning class, the turn
around will provide safer board
ing for students.
A reception committee will be
placed in the gym lobby to well
come you. Refreshments will be
served by the Home Arts Mothers
Club and the Parent Teacher As
ISOLATION Hospitality Committee.
Students, teachers and princi-
pals will look forward to seeing
you there if only for a short time.

By Joan Brooks. Senior

The main thought around Rich
ard Montgomery High School at
the present time is centered on
the Open House to be held on Sun
day, April 26, from 3 to 5 pm.
AS Rockville residents know, the
last part of the new addition, the
gym-auditorium, had it's grand
opening on December %, when
various classes saw the new gym
nasium and all its features DEM
onstrated by J. J. Tarallo, prin-
cipal; E. G. Jewell, assistant prin-
cipal; and Clifford Gonyer, phys
ical education instructor.
Now we want the public to have
the same opportunity to view our
new addition. 1t is one that we are
mighty. proud of. Parents and
members of the community are
cordially invited to our open house.
The whole school will be open
to friends who may wish to browse
around, but the emphasis will be
placed on the new building COM
plete with eight classrooms, in
Guiding the band room, music room,
gym and gym locker rooms.
We've thought lot about
whether or not to put the dog
on" in dressing the school for the
occasion. We finally decided to
keep it just the way the students
see it during the school day. We
figure that you would rather view
it through the students eyes than
see it decorated unnecessarily. We
want to create an informal feeling
that you have the right to come
and go as you choose.
Having the new addition has
meant lot to us, and we plan to
make it last as long as we can. No
wonder we are so thrilled! Take
our gym, for example. 1t is almost
a square-ninety-five by eighty
five feet. This makes it possible
to divide it into two separate sides
for the boys and girls.
The folding doors that divide it
are run by an electric motor which
opens and closes them. 1t is still
a mystery to watch it work.
The main entrance to the gym
consists of four doors. There are
three other exits from the gym
nasium which enable people to
leave quickly in case of emerg-
ency.

elaborate decorations - white

By Katherine M. Brooks

Never saw such a well-or-
ganized party!" exclaimed a
visiting general yesterday at the
6-to-8 o'clock reception given by
the Army Chief Of Staff and
Mrs. Matthew B. Ridgway.
''Everybody's in one room," he
finished as he entered the dining
room. And for much of the re-
ceiving time that was true.
Gen. and Mrs. Ridgway stood
in their drawing room to greet
the less than 200 guests invited
yesterday and after shaking
hands they went on through to
the dining room. The attraction
at the beginning of the party
was the murals. AS the room be-
came crowded, there were too
many guests to be able to get
the proper prospective. Thus the
great enlargements Of scenes at
the Military Academy at West
Point where Gen. Ridgway was
graduated, were lost to many.
Buffet Loden
The buffet table also was con-
siderable of an attraction. There
were platters of fried shrimp and
plain shrimp, with delicious
sauce for each. Other plates of
hot biscuits filled with turkey,
others with ham and still others
with bacon. A cream of avocado
served as a dip for potato chips
and there also were trays OF
hors d'oeuvres. Throughout the
reception hours, trays laden with
a wide variety of. drinks, from
tomato and orange juices to
highballs and cocktails, were
passed among the guests.
The Japanese art Of flower ar
rangement, which the hostess
has studied carefully, was much
in evidence yesterday. Her mag
