THIQINKVVELL 13 THE JUNIORS We are confident that, although the Junior Class has thus far neglected to dc- velop its possibilities in organization and leadership, we can, with a little effort, prove ourselves fully capable in these respects. The present Senior Class has made an excellent record for itself and will be remembered aw a line graduating class. With all respect to the Seniors, we believe that We can equal and even excel that record. We have, in the mem- bers of our class, such good material for all forms of endeavor, that we should at once take the lead in all school activities. The athletes of the Junior Class form the nucleus of all the teams. Our track team, with Tom Stewart and James Love and Powell Hughes, has proved itself to be the best in school. In football We have Donald Smith, next year's captain, Merritt Edmunds and James Griffin. Two important players on the baseball team will be Henry Eldredge and Bert Dares. In girls' sports we have such basketball players as Vera Bernard and lnez Smith. Dorothy Stevens and jack Spencer will be important in dramatics. ln regular school work, Eleanor Good- acre, Roberta Ostroske and Ella rox are honor students. Ernest Corson has fine literary ability. William Briant and Elder Entriken are good scientific Workers. These are among the most outstanding in their lines in the school. With such abilities as these, backed with a foun- dation of good school spirit and common sense, we believe we will accomplish our aims. The most important of these are the establishment of student government, and the restoration of the Washington trip to the graduating class, a privilege which we sincerely believe every Senior should have. lt is with the utmost con- fidence in ourselves, that we prepare to take over the name and responsibility of Seniors.

12 THE INKWICLL THE SENIORS SPEAK CRITICALLY It amuses me to see George Bernard Shaw fool the public. They call him an egoist because he is pleased with his life. Do you despise him for casting away his false modesty? When we are seventy- nine, I know we will hear G. B. S. chuckling victoriously in his Shaw para- dise. I Defence-SARA DREW. The Innocence of Father Brown contributes one character, Flambeau, who is created as an especially clear per- sonality in my mind by the mere con- stant repetition of the fact that he is so tall he towers above any crowd. This is a very definite, picture-creating state- ment in one way, yet it gives no other actual physical description. From this single fact I can call up a drawing of Flambeau which is clearer than the memory of someone whom I know well. Several of Chesterton's minor characters seem clearer cut than his more important ones. I like the way he leaves his cen- tral characters like smudged charcoal portraits rather than making fine pen and ink drawings of them. It gives their minds and personalities a chance to de- velop without physical interference. G. K. places himself in the minds of his characters and uses them as mouthpieces for his views. The Paradox-Ruth Safterfield. YOUTH Pure, white candles Blazing toward heafzfenv, Fighting black shadows, Burning steadily Despite gusty Derisiive draughts, Straight, steady, Lighting stumbling feet, Symbol of youth, Pure white candles. -ANN Etnaencs

14 THE INKVVICLI, l i E THE SOPHOMORES The Sophomores, in taking inventory of themselves, find that in the next two years they are going to gift CU Cape lllay High School with many young men and women, talented and otherwise. They feel that it is the duty of every class to supply its share of talent in all of the school's activities and without a doubt they are doing their share, if not more, in the two major activities of scholarship and athletics. ln scholarship they have several members of the class who are always found on the distinguished list including Betty Dunlap, -lean Schellenger, Ray- mond Rollins and Harold Rodes, not to mention others who are always on the meritorious list. ln the Dramatic Club they have many talented young actors and actresses whose fine performances are enjoyed by the school as well as the townspeople. These dramatists include Evelyn Crump and Nancy Brady who were in a Full House, George Claghorn and Louis Purnell. ln the field of art the Sophomores have quite a remarkable bit of talent in the brushes of Beth Ricker, Richard Teitleman, Ralph Carroll and Robert Starr, while the shop possesses such ex- pert carpenters as Norman Sayre, Ed- ward Walton and William Coleman. They are unusually well provided with musical talent. In the High School Orchestra they have Richard Stiefel and Ronald Phillips and Harold Rodes. ln the Glee Club Kathryn Konowitch, Ethel Bowles, Evelyn Fraley, Gladys Heathcote, Dorothy Reeves, Peggy Schellenger and Virginia Beane. Even with all these activities, athletics are the most popular with the Sopho- mores and already they are providing varsity athletes in three sports. On thc. basketball and baseball teams there are Elwood Scott, Charles Shields, John Huff and Leonard Sandgrang on the football team, Thomas Barnard and Les Townsendg and on the girls' basketball team, Edith Whitney, lVIary Ludwick and Caroline Krula. Vlfith this quantity and quality of tal- ent the Sophomore Class is surely a great asset to Cape May High and in time will become an even greater one. As he leaves the Sophomore year to become a junior it will be the purpose of every member of the class to improve himself in his respective activity and increase the achievements of his class.
