Dover High School - Tiger Yearbook (Dover, NJ)

threshold to Senior-dom. In this resolution we managed to save about forty dollars, which gave us a good foundation to work on in our Senior year. In our Senior year, we were seized with lofty impulses, uncommon to most classes in the preceding years. One was that we issue a year book, this impulse developed into a desire and that desire into a determination, till at last after many trials and tribulations we have put it forth. This book we are justly proud of, as it is the only book of its kind ever attempted in Dover High, so if we speak of it with a feeling greater than becomes us, we hope it will be overlooked in view of the fact that we worked so hard to produce it. The Debating Tearn for this year is composed of Seniors, being two boys and one girl, and the class considers itself fortunate to have these people in its midst. Besides this donation of a Debating Tearn to the school, we have also endeavored to help out in other school activities; if the school paper benefited by our assistance we are glad; if the magnanimous school spirit which now exists can in any way be associated with us, we will be happy to know it; if in athletics we have helped to bring distinction to Dover, we will rejoice in it, and if in any way we have been helpful to the school in general, we are only too glad to know it; and the fact that we have done it will be our desired reward. Our class has had one sincere friend throughout all its Senior year. Out of many difficulties our Dean, Miss Clark, has helped us, she has ever been our immediate counsellor and guide in all our dark moods and trying hours, giving her time and attention to us with never failing willingness, and in general doing things for us which we can never forget. The officers with whom we graduate are: President, Gustave Heller; Vice-President, Dorothy Drummer; Secretary, Christina Egbert, and Treasurer, Robert B. Jenkins. These officers have, too, done their best for the class, toward making it an enterprising organization. In closing this history, we only wish to state that the experiences which we have had will never be forgotten, our teachers we will honor, and our friendships we will never forget; and we advise the lower classmen coming up in the various years, to always be sincere in their work, to always yield to the wiser power and to ever and constantly stand by the school, which they will learn to love, the dear old Dover High. A. SENYOR. 12

JENKINS IT is a general known fact that every person or thing, no matter how small or insignificant it may be, has a history by which it is identified and judged. Such is it with us, we have passed four years of our lives in the Dover High School and in this time we have accomplished things, which perhaps, are deemed worthy enough by most of us to be jotted down here. However, we write not of past deeds of wonder, we have no boasts to make, we desire no great honors for anything we have done that might seem worthy of some credit; all our successes, our triumphs, trials and disappointments are deeply cherished by us all and we are humbly content in that fact. We do not hope, by any means, to obtain any greater amount of satisfaction, than we possess in the feeling that we have, with all our hearts, merely done our best. We did not systematically organize until our Junior year. Here we elected Gustav Heller, President; Dorothy Drummer, Vice-President; Marjorie Spargo, Secretary; and Joseph Stark, Treasurer. These officers served us well all through the year, helping the class in every way to hold parties and dances which eventually won the hearts of all the other classmen, the seniors included. It was in this year, at the suggestion of our faithful Dean, Miss Freeman, that we decided to save our money for some good cause that might arise after we had crossed the illustrious 11

JULIA BURNS “Jule” “ have often regretted mjj speech, never my silence. WE wish to begin a most remarkable account of our classmates with our singer Julia; Julia is first on our roll call, so necessarily is the first victim of all the assaults made upon the class. One of the most pleasing things about Julia is that she can sing well, she took us off our feet one day, in the auditorium, when she sang one of her songs remarkably well. Whether or not her ambitions tend in this direction, however, we cannot say, but if she doesn't take it up, we expect that some day we will find her in some glorious school, ruling her children with a rod of iron. Then, again, on the other hand, she may become married to some promising young man and become the mistress of millions, who knows ? Before closing the beginning of our tremendous account, let us add that Julia was always well liked by us all, and we hope that if she does get married, she will treat her hubby as nicely as she has us. WILLIAM HAROLD CHESHIRE “Ches” The curled darling of the Nation. If barbers were to depend on Harold's patronage they would go bankrupt. He’s the envy of all the girls and they all want the prescription for curling their hair naturally. Harold is quite a scholar and they claim, a regular Vernon Castle on the floor. He never misses a dance and you might as well call it off if his presence does not grace the occasion. He always is in style by wearing -a smile. Harold is planning to take up electricity, when he leaves our pleasant realms, and if he does, we all wish him the best of all good luck and hope that in the years to come he will not be last on Life’s highway to success. PENROSE CHRISTMAN “Pennie” Ah, lvh ) should life all labour be? Turn your head a little to the southwest and cast your eyes, for a moment, upon the shining countenance of one Penrose Christman, Professor of Trigonometry, and scholar of Chemistry. Penrose is one of our rural friends, but spends most of his time in Dover, although we have heard lately that he travels to Wharton sometimes for diversion. One of “Pennie’s pet hobbies is giggling. Whenever he has nothing else to do, he can always find relief in a suppressed giggle, although this girlish trait sometimes annoys the teachers considerably. In playing basketball, however, he refrains from this, and always puts up a good game because of his lightning speed on the court. He is the first substitute for the Varsity basketball team. Although he studies hard in Trigonometry, we thing it will do him no harm, for we may some day find those two little initials (C. E.) behind his name, (not cabbage-eared), but Civil Engineer. 13
