Now She's A Lawyer
Hard Work Pays Off
For Legal Secretary
Elizabeth Tenmery
Elizabeth Tennery could look a long way back last
week when she was notified she had passed the state bar
exam and was qualified to practice law.
It started in 1946 three
years after her graduation from
Richard Montgomery High
School —when she became legal
secretary to the late F. Barnard
Welsh, of Rockville.
She began to think then how
nice it would be to become a
lawyer. But it wasn’t until 1956
—two years after the senior
Welsh died and his practice was
taken over by his son. Barney
(the Sentinel columnist) and
Mrs. Tennery was continuing
her duties as legal secretary,
that her wish became irresisti
ble and she enrolled as a stu
dent at American University.
“I was one of those over 30
freshmen,” she recalled yester
day.
Then the long, hard grind of
being a mother to Brian Ten
nery, now 11 and a sixth grader
at West Rockville Jr. High, and
a busy legal secretary and a
student began.
Attending part-time, she nev
ertheless walked off with her
bachelor of arts degree from
A. U. in January, 1960, but as a
result of hard work and care
ful planning she had been able
to enroll in law school, too, the
previous fall.
Continuing her part-time
classes and working more inten
sively during the summers, Mrs.
Tennery was graduated from
the A. U. law school last June.
And last week she was one of
26 Montgomery County resi
dents —and the only woman so
honored —to pass the state bar
exam.
Now, instead of being Betty
Tennery, a legal secretary, she’s
Attorney At Law Elizabeth Ten
nery and a law partner in the
new firm of Welsh and Tennery
with offices at 22 W. Jefferson
St., Rockville.
Mrs. Tennery says she plans
Initially to specialize in probate
and domestic work leaving trial
work to her law partner, Bar
ney Welsh, who is one of the
county’s leading criminal law
yers.
Also among the successful
bar candidates was George
Woodson Shadoan, an assistant
professor at Georgetown Uni
versity Law School who lives at
3615 Underwood St., Chevy
Chase, and whose score was the
second highest in the entire
state.
Third highest score In Mary
land was achieved by Harry W.
Lerch, 4813 Edgefield Road, Be
thesda, who is employed as law
clerk to Circuit Court Judge
Walter H. Moorman.

dents: Karl Buschmann, 180

Burning Ban
Rule Explained
The best way to tell if the
county’s burning ban is in ef
fect, the County Fire Marshal’s
Office says, is to look outside.
If it is raining, if the weather
is so bad you don’t want to go
outside and burn trash, then
you probably can. If the weath
er is fine, you probably can’t.
This year’s dry spring, which
alternates with occasional wet
days, has put trash burning on
a day-to-day basis, the fire of
fice said. The normal prohibi
tion on burning except between
4 and 10 p.m. is in effect every
day, and when the ground is
dry the prohibition runs 24
hours.
The all-day ban went on early
in the month, came off again
April 18, went on again April
26, and came back off—for one
day Tuesday. Just after a
rain it is usually safe, the fire
office said, but a high wind can
dry out damp brush in next to
no time.
