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

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

GEORGE COLVIN “George” “ meddle with no man's business but mj) on n.” How many of you would have defied everything to finish school? Such a fellow is George Colvin. George came into High School with us four years ago and finishes with us this June. If ever you want a good conscientious worker don’t forget George. He has studied hard and has earned all of those good marks you will find upon his report-card. Yes, and he remembers a great deal more than most of us do. loo. George played on the football field with great distinction. He was always present at school dances, ever finding some way to help out. In fact, he will work at most anything that is for the good of his class. His class spirit never falters; he plugs away at one thing as hard as he does at another. George has always won respect from all his class and we feel perfectly sure that if he keeps up the good work he will win just as much respect when he docs out into the world. RONALD CRATER “Ronnie” “All's Well that ends well.” You have all heard of Ronnie, so he needs no introduction, but as you do not know him as well as we do, perhaps it is necessary for us to try to inform you a little more regarding his most intimate characteristics. To start with, we gladly say that Ronnie is a first-class fellow, always coming in for his share of the treats. However, despite this good trait there is one thing that some in the class do not like, and that is, Ronnie talks too much with the girls. If some fellow is talking with his best girl, Ronnie will come along and rob this fellow of his prize; but it is not because he likes to be mean, but it is simply because he likes the girls so much . Ronnie promises to become a great man, and if he ever gets to be President we all sincerely believe he will give each member of the Senior Class a job for life. WILLIAM CRAWFORD “Bud” ''Brevity is the soul of wit.” No, gentle reader, this is not Hercules staring at you from the picture. It is also not a descendant of the prehistoric race of giants, but merely diminutive Willie; William Crawford, if you wish to know it all. He is next to Crater the baby of the class; not in age, understanding or intellect, but only in size, which, after all, is no reflection upon either him or his family, or his class. In fact, his class is justly proud of little William, both for his ability to master the preplexing and intricate mazes of school work, and for his gloom-dispelling humor. He is often witty enough to provoke the teachers into laughter. One singular thing about him is that he never has trouble with the Trig problems he does not attempt. This is quite logical, to be sure, but since we have never seen him have trouble with the things he does attempt, we know that he will continue his life in the same way, and always be a credit to our class and to the school. 14
