Rockville marked its centennial with a sky diver performance by Army parachutists at the New Montgomery County Air Park, a Saturday parade of events, and a Sunday dedication of the New Civic Auditorium. Mayor Alexander Greene and City officials attended. Registration for Centennial guests continued at the Civic Center.
Former Rockville natives are celebrated across town with a Montgomery County Symphony Orchestra concert led by Chester Petranek at 7:30 p.m. in the Civic Auditorium. At 3:30 p.m. the pageant prologue crowns Miss Rockville Miss Montgomery and the Lattie Queen of the Centennial before the first performance of The Thin Gray Line at Broome Junior High School athletic field.
The Frederick Chamber of Commerce Retail Division meets at 1:30 p.m. in the Francis Scott Key Hotel to consider purchasing additional Christmas ornaments for downtown Frederick. Three years ago the chamber spent about $6,000 on garlands and related decorations.
Chamber sources say the city is considering extra decorations this season. Entrance displays could cost about 400 dollars each for main highways into town and a large display may be placed at the Square Corner to boost Christmas spirit. Skyline strings are also under review along Market and Patrick streets as an economic consideration during Christmas time.
Charles McC Mathias president of the Frederick Historical Society presents a 1580 Laws of Maryland volume to Rockville officials honoring the city's centennial. Mayor Alexander Greene will receive the gift in official ceremonies preceding the centennial celebration. The book records all laws passed by the General Assembly each session.
