It's long way off, yes, but it's
one to circle. This is the date
chosen for the annual Rockville
Elementary P-TA festival. Mrs.
Joseph Steinberg and Mrs. Frank
A. Tyler, Jr., are co-chairmen
of the event and they are being
assisted by a corps of volunteers
heading the various committees.
1t will be held at the RMHS cafe
terra this year and promises to
be one for the books!
Reverend Raymond P. Black who
is directing and producing Gilbert
and Sullivan's, "The Gondoliers"
early in June for the benefit of
the RMHS P-TA, reports that the
turnout at the first rehearsal was
excellent, but there is still need
for more people to complete the
cast, especially men. All of you
who like to sing, here's your chance
to have some fun and at the
same time, help a good cause. Not
only that, but Mr.. Black has a
touch of genius" when it comes
to producing amateur operettas.
They always have that experienced
professional touch! Rehearsals,
Tuesdays, 8:15 pm. Christ Church
Parish Hall.
When the Academy Awards are
made and the oscars are handed
out, certainly the actress of the
year should be Rose Miller for
her performance in "The Night
mare" presented at the meeting
of the Rockville Elementary P-TA
Tuesday night. She was spectacu-
lar! The best actor could easily
be j. Hodge Smith, along with
Dave Belts and Val Wilson, vieing
for that distinction. In supporting
roles, Martha Looper, Irving and
Arlene McNayr, and Bud and Mary
Anne Kephart should not be over
looked. And for the best writers
of the year, oscars to Marjorie
Mackey, Helen McCabe, and Mary
Anne Kephart. 1t was all in fun
and was skit presented as part
of the celebration of Founders
Day.
Rockville's very young ladies will
have to put away their ballet skirts
and slippers for the time being at
least for we understand that the
popular Mrs. Mary Ducey Walsh
will not return again this year.
Mrs. Walsh has been conducting
dancing classes in Rockville for
the past three years at Christ
Church, but due to her husbands
ill health, will not be able to con-
tinue the second half of the year.
She will be missed in Rockville
and her many young students and
friends sincerely hope she will re-
turn in the Fall.
Thursday found the Dick Hick-
mans off for a vacation in Florida.
They are driving down and ex-
pect to be away until the first of
March.
Mrs. Theodore Mason, Sr., spent
several days last week in Phila-
delphia, visiting her son and
daughter-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Wei
ford Mason and their youngsters.
Wednesday found the Bureau of
Printing and Engraving a busy
spot for the fifth-grade students
of the Rockville Elementary School
paid it visit to see just how all
that "green stuff" is really made.
After tour there, they went over
to the Smithsonian Institute to
view the collection of coins there.
