Maj. Peters returned the fol-

brought with him a "Radiac'

This was the second time in a

Equal John ". Rogers
By a Staff Reporter

When John Nelson Rogers
graduates from Gaithersburg
High School next June, he will
be among the comparative
handful of students across the
nation who annually are WOO
ed by top rank colleges and
universities.
While these colleges have to
turn away thousands of appli-
cants each year, they still have
room for students like John who
come bearing full or partial schol-
arships.
John will be i'm this envi-
able position because he has
good brain and likes to use
it. That is he has used ii is
obvious. He stands as high as
he possibly can, at the very
top, among high school stu
dents who have taken the Ma
tiOnal Merit Scholarship and
the College Entrance Board
examinations.
These examinations are couch
ed in two "areas" of informa-
ton - mathematics and verbal.
While John scored in the B-plus
class of the verbal examination,
his real talent lies in mathemat-
les.
He's so wrapped up in squares,
hypotenuses, and formulae that
he's working on a strategem to
shortcut the Pythagorean theory.
That, as anyone knows, is the
square of the hypotenuse equals
the sum of the square Of the
base and altitude of triangle.
John should be a breath of
!. clean, fresh air to harried col
Iege prOfs who for wears have +
been complaining that fresh
men math students have to
bone up on their twO-plus-
twO'S.
He should also bring light to
the darkened visages of college
language teachers. 1t won't show
on his diploma but when he takes
leave of Gaithersburg. John will
have amassed a total of eight
wears" of languages, five in
French and three in Spanish.
He lived in Paris with his par
ents when he was II and attend
ed school there for one year. Soon
as he came back to this country
he enrolled in George Washing
ton High School, Arlington, and
whipped through an examination
that credited him with French I,
II, and III. By the 9th grade
there. he had gone through
French w and V and since has
breezed through Spanish I, II,
and III at Gaithersburg.
Since he came to Gaithersburg
as a sophomore in 1856. John has
been the 10th grade class presi-
dent, second baseman for the
Troians' baseball team, mem
Der of the JV basketball team and
this wear, is the sports editor of
the Blue and Gold, school news
paper
In his spare time, he keeps
busy at a most unusual prof
ect: installing a 1854 Dodge
engine in a 1889 Plymouth
cOuDe. If this transmutatiOn
should work, John would be
the owner of a real bomb.
