School of the Week.
NORTH BETHESDA

our many students from for
eign lands q number of them
had heard of us In their ma
tive countries.
What makes N. B. such a
great school? Is it the build
ing, or the faculty. or the
curriculum, or the activities,
or the students? It's all Of
these, and more.
In September Of 1855 N. B.
opened with $40 students, "a
teachers and no desks. Now,
four years, 797 students, 81
teachers, a new wing and
more than 1000 desks later,
N. B. has a reputation for
being one of the best Junior
high schools around.
As you can see from those
figures. we've really grown
in four short years. The stu
dent body has more than
doubled. Due to this vast
growth we're very crowded.
Home rooms meet in the
cafeteria, and every conceiv-
able space except the boiler
room is used for classes. De-
spite these hAndicaps we
manage quite well.
What goes on in our build
ing? First of all, study.
Many new and advanced
methods of teaching are en-
ployed here.
In math we have q new
course devised by the Uni
versity of Maryland for stu
dents who are advanced in
that subject. 1t consists Of
an accelerated seventh-grade
math program preparatory
to eighth-grade algebra / and
ninth-grade algebra 2.
In science, many Of our
students have the Star Pro-
gram which enables them to
do much experimentation in
class.
During the past four years
North Bethesda has probably
won more science awards
than any school in Mary
land. This includes many ma
tional prizes.
Our ninth-grade French
students learn the language
through a method known as
the audio- lingual, visual
graphic approach. It's not
nearly as bad as 1t sounds.
The terms Just mean that
first the student hears the
language ION tape). then re-
peats it. After that is mas
tered, the student sees the
words and writes them.

demic program may be at

Mr.. McKeldin, conceding IL
minutes later, wished him
every success in the ire

Mr.. Grady offered a modest
explanation today for his rock
citing from political obscurity
to Mayor in a few short
months.
You can't attribute this to
any political organization" he
said. 1T just showed the peo-
pie are turning away the old
| faces"
Until last March. Mr.. Grady's
only political experience had
been as an unopposed 1858 can
didate for the prosecutors job
to which he had been appointed
/ a short time earlier. His prede-
cessor had been named to a
IjudgeShip in mid-term, and the
professional politicians decided
to give Mr.. Grady a free ride.
He decided to run for mayor
after Mr.. D'Alesandro failed to
win election to the Senate in
November and then announced
he would seek a fourth term in
city hall.
The turnout was a shade over
so per cent of the registered
voters, among whom Democrats
outnumbered Republicans
nearly 4 to /.
McKeldin an Orator
Mr.. McKeldin. whose reputa-
ton as an orator had led to
his selection as the principal
nominating speaker for Gen.
Eisenhower in the 1852 Repub-
lican National Convention, had
successfully overcome this reg
istration disadvantage three
times. He was elected Mayor
in 1913 and Governor in 1850
and 1854, the only member of
his party to spend two terms
in the Governors Mansion.
Now SO and blocked from a
third term bid by the State
constitution. he had sought to
round out his political career
by becoming the first man to
have served as Mayor, Governor
and Mayor again.
But this time there were no
major Democratic organiza-
tons openly in his corner from
the start, as there had been
in his successful races. 1t was
more like the lonely years in
which he lost for mayor, 1889,
