Two of our local folks made
the headlines this week-the cur.
rent issue Of The Saturday Even.
ing Post carries a very interesting
article about the Rock Greek
Nurseries and the owner, Mr.. Milo
Coplen. The Sunday issue of The
Washington Post carries a picture
and article about Builder Sam
Walker. The coming 1853 Home
Show will feature one of Sans
houses.
So very good were all the seven
acts presented by the students at
the IN" Club night at R.M.H.S.
Saturday night, that the judges
found if difficult to select the best
one. The Student Government
Group and the Gymkana Troop
tied for the honor and divided the
$35 prize offered by the Club.
Everyone is talking about the
spectacular performance of Pat
Pickett and Glenn Smith in the
Student Government Act. They
were the soloists in q Brazilian
Dance number. 1t seems that
Glenn learned the dance while on
visit to Brazil last summer and
taught it to the group. The
Gymkana Troop, under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Clifford Gonyer, pre-
scented a thrilling act of skillfully
executed acrobatics. Kennel h
Heisler was master of ceremonies
for the evening and did a super
job. Following the presentation.
of the acts, there was a dance.
Much has been said about the an"
Club, the judges, and the acts, but
the one who should take a bow is
Mr.. Eugene Moran. Mr.. Moran
was general chairman of the
event, assisted by the other physi-
cal ed teachers at R.MH.S., as
well as other members of the
faculty.
The home of Mrs. John Backus
on Upton Street was the scene of

University Park.
Miss Elsie England is at home

Speaking of Florida reminds us
that the Sentinel's good friends,
John and Anne Oxley, while they
were on their recent trip to the
South's playground, sent the edi-
tor and the Sentinel family greet
ings. They thought Florida was
great country and enjoyed their
visit. They have returned to
Rockville.

Just about the best news we
have heard for a long time is that
Young George Darby of Gathers
burg is coming home from the
HOSPITAL. George has been in
Children's Hospit following
several operations. From all re-
ports, George is steadily improv-
