Tell dIG Tic hGyIlOle Vi west.
This is unusual for a school
that is not community school
since it transports so percent OF
its children from outside the i'm
mediate neighborhood.
West Rockville's district con
tracts and expands with the needs
of the area but at present its
boundaries extend from Derwood
to Travilah Road, out to Poto
mac and around the west end OF
Rockville.
1t is also a school that changed
its home base, from the old Rock
vile Elementary to a new build
ing on Beall Avenue in 1854. Also
descriptive were the double ses
sions of which the West Rockville
population has had more than its
full share.
Perhaps it was the reaction to
these disturbing elements that
made the West Rockville children
so determined to band together
and prove their loyalty to their
school.
The oldest and strongest of the
ORGANIZATIONS is the Children's
and achers' Association
formed in 1858 when they were
sti'l in the old building.
Fifth graders that year, study
ing governments in their social
studies. decided that thew wanted
to set up their own government
to make use feel that we are q
part of the school,"
Since then the children have
drawn I'D and approved a very
detailed constitution. which is
amended from time to time and
also a complete set of standards
TO fit everv conceivable situation
in school life.
Standards for behavior are
spelled out in detail for bus. hall,
Iavatorv, playground activities
and treatment of the floors and
furniture. No teacher would dare
to be as hard on them as the
children are themselves.
Every child and teacher at
West Rockville is a member of
the eta and helps elect dele
gates to the legislative BODY
which is composed of a delegate
and alternate from each roorr
plus the four officers. president
vice president, secretary and
treasurer.
This body meets every other
Thursday while on the alter
mating weeks the executive board
convenes. The latter includes the
officers and student representa-
tives of various school activities.
This year the advisory teachers
are Miss Hazel Gilmore, sixth
grade, and Mrs. Nettie Radcliffe

Up stepped Washington's catch

Jack Bentley Picked
For Hall of Fame

John N. Jack" Bentley, famed
ex-hurler for the New York
Giants from 1923 until 1927. was
elected to the International
League Hall of Fame January "a.
The one-time southpaw pitcher,
now 81, lives on farm in Sandy
Spring. He has been practically
bedridden with arthritis for the
past seven months.
Infirmity hasn't licked him. He
remains cheerful. The big man
six feet plus and over 200 pounds
walks around his bedroom with
the aid of his wife.
"I'm really what you'd call hors
d'combat," he said with chuckle.
The news of his election by
sportswriters all over the coun.
try and in Canada came as a sur
prise to Jack. He learned it from
a reporter. Il really was sur.
prised," he confided.
Jack quit the game in 1882.
His last few years were spent as
a coach in the Penn State League.
Since that time he has been a
public relations man with the
firm of Graham, Anderson,
Probst and White, architects in
Washington.
Twenty years on the farm,
twenty in baseball and twenty in
real estate, that's my history"
said Jack. He lives on a farm
settled by his great-grandfather,
Caleb Bentley, and worked by
Richard Bentley and then John
Bentley, Jacks father.
Jacks brightest - and dim
NEST - moment in the spotlight
of sports came in the World
Series in 1924.

graders taken in each spring for
continuity. At present it has
around Is members.
Meeting once a week for half.
hour business session, the club
also has weekly workshops after
school during which the children
learn to care for all of the audio-
visual equipment.
This means learning to clean
and polish lenses, oil the ma
chimes, operate the projectors for
film and slide, catalogue the film
strips and keep inventory on
them. Soon they are planning to
take up the tape recorder and
undertake to schedule movie pro-
grams that will be handled en-
tirely by the children.
In the process of course they
are learning fundamental prin-
ciples on sound and light. How
ever, the children themselves are
more impressed with their "per-
nit" of qualified projectionist
which they acquire after passing
a rigid test.
West Rockville's principal, AL
bert A. Gibson. has been with the
school since the Park Street days,
starting as teacher in 1913, he
was promoted to principal in
1852.
His new building acquired
another addition in the fall of
1856 for total of % classrooms,
all-purpose room, library. etc.
now housing a total of 805 chill
dren, a far cry from the 1854
opening when 767 children were

school store heads and the presi
dent of the audio-visual club.
Particular problems that have
been worked out are, for example,
rules governing snowballing,
whether taps should be worn on
shoes, and what to do about
chalk-throwers.
Overall project for the last two
years has been the landscaping
of the grounds. West Rockville
appealed to Richard Montgom-
ery's landscaping class to draw
them a plan.
Embarrassing activities to meet
the demand of the prize-winning
plan, drawn by one of the senior
high students, have been C-TA's
leading events since then.
Last year S128 was raised from
bake sales of goodies baked bv
the students themselves and this
year $3.50 has been raised from
selling group pictures of each
grade.
The first step of the plan has
already been ACCOMPLISHED with
$3.50 spent on evergreens, and
dogwood and redbud purchased
from the city last spring. A meet
ing in the near future will deter.
mine the next step towards the
goal of 5000 worth of planting.
West Rockville is also proud
of its library club under the direc.
ton of Mrs. Annie Harper, school
librarian, who is shared every
other week with Weller Road.
This library service group has
"a permanent members and %
helpers. The children have
learned to do manv of the library
routines for themselves including
checking all books in and out and
cataloging them.
No newcomer in club activities
but perhaps the most unusual is
the audio-visual club formed last
year, now under the direction OF
Carlton f. Chamberlin, sixth
grade teacher, and Miss Blanche
Gambrill, fourth grade.
This club is limited to fifth and
sixth graders with a few fourth
