Occasionally a cloud crosses her face, for she has a wee bit of temper, but hav- en't we all? Soon it passes and Mary is merry again. I1 there is any fun going on, you may be sure that Mary is in it. Every one will tell you that her giggles are very contagious. She likes sports too, for nearly all the games have l'ou.nq1 her present. You know Mary is stuclious, l'or scarcely a month passes that her name does not appear on the honor roll. Whoever sails the sea of matrimonyn with Mary will discover her ability to sling a mean dish- ragf' her skill in cooking hav- ing been revealed in Home Ee. classes. XVe understand that she is going to S. T. C. next year. The high school hates to lose you, Mary, and we wish you success in all that you under- take. t, M ,, L EXVIS HAROLD LEE Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice. Characteristic Occupation: Translating French. Suppressed Desire: To be Postmaster General. Occupation ten years from now: Stamp Dispenser. Hereis to Harold-an A man. He spent much time studying but much more help- ing others. Before he left in February, 2.-X French niet twice it day-once at Ha1'old's desk and once in the class room. And before history tests boys were lined up outside his house waiting for room on the inside. Is sucl1 a willing hand regretted?' Nay, more, it is mourned with weeping and wailing 'and lower g1'ades. And in years to come when We buy our stamps of Harold, we may rest assured that they will be of the best quality and ot' the rare variety that stick! Q s E if we 1. my ess .il ..s.,,.m... s .

Occupation ten years from now: Studylng astronomical Lnathematics. Margaret sings Home Sweet Home in St. Michaels, Mary- land. Though she didn't east her fate with our class till the fall ot' '28, she's proved to be one of the best sports H. H. S. has had. She's always helping folks find the silver lining to their clouds-be they English, his- tory, or just every-day mis- haps. There's something sun- ny ahout l1er disposition that makes Old Sol hide his face in shame at times. Even though Margaret hasn't gone' out for any sport, shc's supported the Blue and Wlllte loyally rain or shine, through her cheering she's helped our team nidke that last point that puts us over the top. We don't know what Mar- garet intends to do, but wetre sure that if she gets behind it with all her pep and energy, she'll be a great success.

She has blazed a well-rcmenibcred trail through her four years in high school and bordered it with numerous A's and B's. At all our games Marietta is there, rain or shine. She cheers our football tean1-and espec- ially the captain. , And speaking of captains, that makes us think about Marietta's desire to go to Europe in 1936. Since Fred has been such a successful cap- tain ol' our team maybe his success will continue and he will be captain of a ship and incidentally of Marieltafs heart. Then she will get her long wished-for trip abroad. Marietta, we'rc wishing you good fortune and success next year at H. T.

Activities: French Club, '30 Glee Club, '27 Latin Club,'27 How Margaret delights in saying things to shock prosaic people! XYhen we hear the familiar remark, I wish this old town would burn up so I could end! we just laugh, for we know that, should such a thing happen, Margaret would be the Iirst one on the spot with a bucket ol' water. XVc'rc learn- ed to take these startling state- ments that Margaret shoots at us just as she means them- to mean nothing at all. Thatts what we like about her-she says and does such unexpected things that it is impossible for a dull minute to pass in her company. NVhen Margaret isn't cutt- ing up, wc see the serious side ol' her nature and learn to value one who can be loads of fun, but at the same time ai. sincere and depcnflable friend. go away for the week
