just about the biggest news in
town last week was the Spring
Festival of the Rockville Elemen-
tary School-P-TAeverybody was
certainly talking about it and from
The turn out Friday night-most
everybody must have been there.
Two gals who should take great
big bows are Sophie Steinberg and
Ruby Tyler who so efficiently
"master-minded" the affair. They
were the co-chairmen and both
worked along with those who as
sisted them, since last fall on
plans. This was the fifth annual
Festival and each year they get
better.lt is estimated that between
S1100 and $1,000 will be realized
from the Festival. when the final
accounting is made. That's a lot
of money for a one-night stand,
and the chairmen of the Festival,
along with Principal Albert Glib
son, all the members of the faculty,
and those mothers and dads, are
all to be congratulated. The pro-
ceeds from the Festival will go,
Of course. into some worthy pro-
ject for the school.
