Well this is different, but I'm not sure it's better. :)
I suspect your version may be more robust (or at least easier to fix) if the
data doesn't end with a String (month).

ary = [ 1, 2, "MARCH", 3, 4, "FEBRUARY", 5, "JANUARY" ]
p ary

ary_new = []
ii = 0
ary.each_with_index do |ee, jj|
if ee.kind_of?( String ) then
ary_new << ee
(ii .. (jj - 1)).each { |i| ary_new << ary[ i ] }
ii = jj + 1
end
end
ary.replace( ary_new )

p ary
