By KITTY WARD
PoolesvilIe Reporter

While riding through the
hills and valleys of Upper
Montgomery County on a
beautiful day. you would
most likely come upon a
quaint little town by the
name of 'PooleSville."
Here is where our school,
Poolesville High School, was
founded in 1906.
For 1872 days of each year
this is where you will find
the young people OF this
community and other sur
rounding communities. Al
together there are 365 stu
dents in grades seven through
twelve. This enrolment
makes up the only "Class
C" high school in Montgom-
cry County and also the only
one still to house grades kim
dergarden through twelve
under one roof.
Also in the line of flrStS,
in 1910 our school had the
privilege of having the first
school bus in the State. This
horse-drawn bus was quite
modern then. but can you
picture students of today rid
ing this way?
Our principal is Robert T.
Crawford, being the tenth
one since 1906. Assisting him
as Vice-principal is Maurice
Ward and as counselor,
Andrew Hugar.
A regular schedule is fol-
lowed on every day except
Tuesday. This schedule con-
tains six 55-minute classes.
On Tuesday. the club sched-
ule is in effect with seven
classes. This extra period Of
ferS 20 different clubs to the
students, some of the most
popular being Glee Club.
Athletics and Saddle and
Bride.
Evening star., 1960-06-19

There are four annual
events at PooleSville. The first
event is the F. F. A. and
F. H. A. Community Fair In
November. The fair has been
going on since 1922 and has
been enjoyed by both the
school and the community.
The "Snow Flake Whirl" is
next and is given by the
senior class. This Is an Or
cheStra dance and Is usually
held near Christmas. In the
spring the student council
sponsors a variety show. The
Junior Senior Prom is last
and this year it was held on
May 6 in the school audito-
rum.
The seven officers of the
student council represent the
school body and help the
school function properly. This
year they sold new black and
gold jackets for no profit.
They also sponsor the variety
show. dances, parties and
many other activities to
benefit the students.
In the dramatics field, the
juniors give a play in the
fall of the year. The seniors
also have a play in the spring
of the year. The junior play
was entitled Mountain Gal"
and the senior play was
Susie the Siren"
Each year the senior class
prepares a yearbook. 1t is
called Sugar Loaf Echoes"
The yearbook took this name
because the school lies in the
shadow of Sugar Loaf Noun
tain.
The Reflector" is the
school newspaper published
by the Journalism Club. This
club is composed mostly of
juniors. but since others were
interested in it, it has been
opened to them.
One of the biggest projects
our school has had in a long

high and 35 points for the
senior high letter. The points
are accumulated on a yearly
basis.
Soccer, basketball and base
ball are the main sports at
fractions during the year.
Soccer is growing and this
year we had a good team.

Saturday, while it was snow
ing SO fast, Ned Morris and son,
Sterling, d e c d d they would
clear some of the snow off the
road before it got so deep they
couldn't move it so Morris got
the tractor and snow pillow. Ster-
ling was behind him with a pick
up truck to go to the store when
he had moved the snow, but 1t
didn't work as expected.
The tractor and snow pillow
would go, but the pickup would
slide in the ditch and stall SO it
was real amusing to watch them
get along Morris would unhitch
from the snow pillow, pull the
truck out. hitch to snow pillow
again, start on, and as soon as
the truck would start it would

Morris, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ned

mashed when a. large wise fell
on his hand while he was working
in the shop at school last Thurs
day. The doctor doesn't think
there are any broken bones.
Well. it looks like the old
ground hog didn't fool us this
time l think the snow was unex-
pected by most everybody as it
had looked SO much like snow
several times since the first of
the year and it didn't happen.
Most everyone has been shovel
ing snow, using snow plows and
pushing snow since it fell and
there's still plenty of it here.
The children have surely en-
ioyed it snow balling, sleigh
riding and eating snow cream.
The farmers don't have so
much to talk about now since
hunting season is over and all
tobacco sold. It's mostly getting
up plant beds. cutting wood and
blowing some All the spring
work is now just around the
corner.

Morris visited her uncle, S. c.
