Miss Mary A. Rice Holds
Record for School Service

Miss Mary A. Rice, first
grade teacher at Gathers
burg Elementary, has the
honor of being Montgomery
County's teacher with the
longest service. She started her
career as a young girl just out
of high school in September,
1914.
Middlebrook was her first
school where she taught all
grades, one through seven, in
Guiding about 80 children. Her
enrolment increased in the win
ter months when the farm boys,
some bigger than she, tried to
make up for the education lost
in the fall and spring when they
had to work on the nearby
farms.
Young as she was, Miss Rice
had no trouble with discipline
from the beginning and remem-
bers her two years at Middle
brook as among her best. She
explains it by saying that she
loves children and expects them
to mind her-and so they do.
Not only is Miss Rice a ma
tive of Montgomery but her
family on both sides settled
here generations ago. She was
raised at Pleasant Hills Farm,
the family nome of the Kelleys,
her mothers + a m I'll y. Still
owned by the Kelleys, Pleasant
Hills was built around 1868.
The family lore of the Rices
near Germantown includes
stories of the Union Army
camping in the orchard and Of
an uncle on leave from the Con-
federate Army hiding in the
attic.
While at Middlebrook, Miss
Rice boarded with a family
there and went home by horse
and buggy only for weekends.
Although she had no formal
training, she followed the ad-
vice of her mother who had
taught also. One of the rules
laid down by her mother was
that she should spend at least
one night with each of her chill
dren's families during the school
year. She followed this rule to
the letter and now feels that
1t benefited both her and her
students a great deal.
Her salary of $3.50 for a
five.week period seemed great
sum in those days and in her
first year she saved enough to
buy her own bedroom suite.
After Middlebrook, Miss Rice

Along with the White Sox, who
won, and the Yankees, who crumbled
into a birthplace club, Cleveland
was among the most newswOrthy
teams in the American League last
season. In some respects, they made
more news than any other team. They
were the only one that fired and re-
hired the same manager, Joe Gordon,
in the space of "a hours.
General Manager Frank Lane, who
had been highly critical of Gordon,
ostenSibly fired the ex-Yankee, ex-
Indian star on the night of September
%, after the White Sox clinched the
pennant with AZ victory. Lane told
Gordon that he was through and
appointed Mel Harder, the pitching
coach, to finish the campaign as
manager.
The next day, Lane announced
the rehiring of Gordon who, on his
own, announced that conditions we're
"intolerable"-fo a two-year period.
The entire story, perhaps, never has
been told, but it is assumed the board
of directors overruled Lane. Little
wonder, since the Indians drew al

in 1858.
