Simply everyone is talking about
the RMHS Bandit seems those
who heard the band at its first
formal concert last Friday night
at the Gym, had only the highest
praise-not only for the band and
it's wonderful performance but for
the leader, Mr.. John R. Preston.
1t seems most of the members of
the band have had no formal mu-
steal training, other than the reg
ular band practice at school since
last Fall, under Mr.. Preston's dir
ection. Mr.. Preston has taken this
group of comparatively unframed
young musicians and whipped
them into truly remarkable mu-
steal unit. And how handsome they
looked in those beautiful new
uniforms! The entire community
may we'll take pride in the RMHS
band, for almost everyone has had
a part in helping it become "uni-
formed" Thanks to the generosity
of so many local organizations
and the untiring efforts of that
group of parents who sponsored
the project from the very begin
ning-Rockville has a very hand
some and well-trained band. Keep
your eyes on these youngsters
they'll provide some pretty good
competition in the State next year!
Miss Ernestine Brown and Miss
Arlene Davidson have returned
from Duke University, where they
were guests of Gordon Coleman

cert, serenade and a party given

Chi. Gordon, who is a graduate of
Richard Montgomery, needs no in

If you haven't been out Route %
lately-that's Jamestown Pike
which has recently been recon-
structed-you owe it to yourself to
go and see the picnic park in the
triangular area made by moving of
the crossing of this road over
Muddy Branch. Here is a lovely
spot-a little picnic area, COM
plete with tables and benches, with
the stream running along side.
Just the place for that picnic you
have been promising yourself! The
reconstruction of the Jamestown
Pike is truly wonderful improve
ment, but that little picnic spot
caught our eye!
