History of Class of 1904. Jt MARY COLLEY. “She tells you flatly what her mind is.” The most demure and unassuming girl whoever came to the Salisbury High Schooh She is very shv. especially when she is compelled to appear on the stage, at which times she is the very picture of distress. Mary is our brightest student and never will own that she studies much, which we know she does, at anv rate, she always knows her lessons. HERBERT CLARENCE FOOKS. ‘Born to excel and to command.” Herbert is a man of magnificent proportions, with a voice suggestive of a bull frog in a bass drum. He is- more HIGH minded than most of his class-mates, being about six feet. He is the class poet, and has contrib¬ uted several selections of his own composition to the “Tatler”. Herbert never feels more at ease than when in the Trigonometry class, very different from the majority of his class-mates. J MARY COLLIER HILL. “The sweetest of all sounds is praise.” May used to be one of those quiet kind of girls that never said much, but had her own way, but a great double change has come upon her recently, she talks continually, and allows herself to have a “Boss.” May’s voice is her only cause for vanity, and if more of us had such voices, we would be as vain as she. Her great¬ est ambition is to be a school teacher in the little town of H.n. NELLIE LEE LANKFORD. “She would ask an angel WHY the heavenly throne was white.” Nell is the coquette of the tenth Grade. It is said by some that she has a pull with the teachers, whether this is true or not, we cannot positively say, but there is one thing certain, she can beat anything using strat- e §y that ever walked in number six shoes. hen a question is asked, she is certain not to know, but will talk intelligently on some other subject for five minutes or more and will consequently receive a ten. 28

FLORENCE WILSON LOWE. “Why do you walk as if you had swallowed a ram-rod” Wilsie is constructed on the hean pole plan, and is the longest and narrowest girl in the class. She never ventures out in damp weather, for fear of drowning her “rat,” to which she is very much attached. She is very kind hearted and always willing to help whenever she can. CLARA BELLE PARKER. “Oh keep me innocent, make others great. Our class beauty, but not vain in the least. Clara is the artist of the ‘04 class, and is renowned about the whole school for her drawings of the cat family, and she is not exceeded in her reproduction of the famous “Gibson girl.” She is very attractive to one or more of the young gentlemen of her class, but it is hard to decide which has the firmer hold on her, perhaps C. .r. .s thinks he has. WILLIAM WALLER PERRY. “Alone among ladies is a most dangerous thing.” William is the most bashful young man in the class, and becomes thoroughly scared when obliged to carry on a conversation with two or even more girls at one time. He is one of the High School’s best athletes and is manager of the Base Ball and Foot Ball teams of ’03 and ’04. CLARA MAY POWELL. “More wide than tall, but a kindly little body.” Clara is the largest and most even tempered of the class. She, with Laura and Mary, form the trio of head lights by which we are lead. Clara never bothers her head over the boys ami therefore is never in such a whirl of uncertainty as Piggie and Nell; but although this is the case she can give valuable advice to the other girls who are so sorely distressed about such things. But, sad to say, the advice is seldom taken. Without Clara, the class would miss the association of one of its hardest workers. 29
