Servicemen We Know
By Army M/Sgt. Ed Brown
•They come from all over—
Rockville, Bethesda, Silver
Spring; from one end of the
County to the other—to join
'endless parade of Regular
Army enlistees. Their motives,
numerous, but basically to
“serve,’ 1 lead them voluntarily
through 'the doorway of the
Rockville Recruiting Station on
Court House Square, where
they leave with travel kit in
hand arid a guaranteed assign
ment Every day, Monday
'through Friday, they ready
themselves for their new exper
iences of Army training, cour
tesy of Uncle Sam’s Modern
Army.
Who are THEY? Young,
eager to serve, men, like for
instance, the seven-man group
who joined ranks last Monday
morning in front of 110 Com
merce la. Because they volun
teered each had a choice of
picking their job training be
fore saying, “Bye, Mom! See
ya later.’’
’Army Security Agency Popular
With College Students
Four of the seven who en
listed Monday with a keen in
terest in electronics, languages
and communication, were ac
cepted for the highly faborable
Army Security Agency. Mary
land University alumnus
Sprague R. Higgins, 5220 Mary
lne dr., Glen Echo, joumeyea
to Fort Dix with Richard Hill,
4857 Battery la., Bethesda, a
former junior at South Dakota
State; David Campbell, 6741
Fairfax rd., Chevy Chase, a
graduate of MJC; and 1961
WJHS graduate Richard Farr,
10113 Dickens ave., Bethesda.
The foursome teamed up under
the Army’s Buddy Plan, which
assures groups of staying to
. gether at least while in basic.
s A week or so ago Richard
; Parker, 8608 Garland ave., Sil
ver Spring, left for the usual
“three year tour’’ with the
• Army Security Agency and is
now pacing his way through
' basic at Fort Dix, along with
Wheaton HS graduates Charles
Gebhart, 2601 Arena st. and
Warren F. Simons, 11611 Grand
view ave., Wheaton.
Then there was Paul Green
ing of 13010 Estelle rd., Whea
ton, an alumnus of Maryland U.
and Ben Franklin, who wanted
to join so he could continue in
accounting and administration.
Twenty-three-year-old Ralph Al
, len, 498 North Frederick ave.,
I Gaithersburg, whociwas just
about due for induction, entered
the Army for automotive school
ing. Ralph is a graduate of
GHS. The youngest of Mon
day’s group was Benjamin Ort,
1008 Deßeck dr., Rockville. This
17-year-old former RMHS stu
dent is scheduled for training
in the administrative field after
his basic exploits at Fort Jack
son, S. C.
Guy Heaton of Poolesville and
Jerry Kitts of Westmore la.,
Rockville, joined the Army Reg
ulars in late August Both are

SGT. MARION BEALL, Hi
Sewing on her very first
stripe recently was Isabella
Thomas of Sandy Spring, now
stationed with the Women’s
Army Corps, Fort Sam Hous
ton, Tex. The new WAC Pri
vate First Class, is a 1960 Sher
wood High graduate.
How's this for a fast promo
tion? Marion T. Beall, 111, of
Washington Grove was promot
ed to the rank of Sergeant less
than 18 months from the day
he joined the Regular Army in
1959. “Sergeant” Beall, a 1959
GHS graduate, is a telephone
specialist and recently arrived
home after a tour in Korea. His
next assignment will be with
the Signal Depot, Sacramento,
Calif.
“I Like the Army”—RMHS Grad
When you can honestly say
"I like the Army” right after
basic, its a sure sign of mature
adjustment. Jim Rosser, 1961
graduate whose home is 1007
Baltimore rd., Rockville, feels
that way about his three
months of military experiences
thus far. While at Fort Jack
son, Jim's unit broke all range
target records, setting not only
a new post record but a Dept,
of Army one as well, according
to the Public Information Offi
cer at the S. C. training site.
Trimmer by 30 pounds from
the day he joined the Regulars
in june, Jim hopes to apply for
officer candidate schooling
after completion of a 24-week
course in cryptography which
starts on September 21 at Fort
Monmouth, N. J. He is now
home on a well-deserved two
week leave.
RMHS grad William L. Clow
ser, 631 Marcia la., Rockville,
who seems to have “stretched
at least six inches in height”
since he enlisted in June,
dropped by the office to say
hello this week while home on
leave from Fort Dix. Bill, a
member of the Army Security
Agency, reports September 16
to the Southeastern Signal
School, Fort Gordon, Ga., where
he has been enrolled in a tele
type course. Commenting on
his decision to join the Agency
he said he was “very pleased
and proud” to be part of the big
team of the Regular Army.
