THEINKWEL1, 13 THE FRESHM EN Greetings from the Freshman Class! With the first high school year behind usl May I introduce some freshman personalities! First our literary quin- tuplets, May Warner, Laura Ottinger, Lynwood Peterson, Warden Needles and Margaret Ware. Our contribution to the Glee Clubs was eleven of its sixty- one songsters. And in the field of ath- letics George Batten, Edward Homan and Thomas Holden are athletes of whom we are proud for they toss a wicked ball. Linda Smith and Anna Ernst, the giggling duet are a pair we think a great deal of. And if you have the blues, see Esther Johnson, for her humorous originalty is refreshing. Jen- nie Vassar expresses herself delightfully in song, and Evelyn Williams' sparkling wit is a general tonic. A really clever boy at creative writing is Andrew Sweeten, while Horace Troxel is known for his wide friendly grin. lVIary Isabel Swain shows you what the well-dressed gal should wear, in case you're inter- estedg and Walter Hughes what the well-dressed fellah should wear. And now I'll close with the Gates, as is proper. Rose and Esther are both girls we just couldn't do without.

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.

THE INKWELL The breast of the gull Flashed white As he swerfved And turned it upward To the light. He flipped his wings And glid, Then arched his wings And slid. With fluttering Feathers He swooped, to stop On the Sharp tip of a Greenish rock. A motorboafs tug . . Chug . . . Chug. . Startled him From a sleepless dream- He furrowed The sky With his silfzver wings els he soared Out of sight- Ah! To fly! -BETTY IJUNLAP A dreamer dreams and in his dream rides far Pursuing romance beyond most distant star. Now, hero bold the mighty dragon slays Or outlaw brave in lush green forest strays. A dreamer wakes and in his waking finds , Room for a sign, then rushes forth to make up time '-WILLIAM Koxes
