INTRODUCTION. 4 4 4 A book without a preface is like a dinner without dessert, with this difference, the dessert comes last and is awaited as the best part of the dinner, while the preface is in the beginning and is skipped by most readÂŹ ers as the dullest, most uninteresting part. Still it is an unwritten law that every book must have a preface. Thinking that our kind friends and well-wishers might care to know what w e are doing up here in our little kingdom, we, the Class of 1904, humbly present this book, the fruit of our first labor, to your view ' . May ' it fulfill our best wishes for it and give you pleasure. 3 H. CRAWFORD BOUNDS, Examiner and Treasurer of Public Schools for Wicomico County. 4 H. Crawford Bounds. Mr. H. Crawford Bound t he present county School Examiner, first attended the public school of his nat ive village, Mardela Spring!. After âkeeping schoolâ in this cmaty a couple of years he attended the State Normal School, then principaled by that prince of teachers, Dr. M. A. Newell, when the subject of this sketch graduated in 1882. In the fall of that year he accepted the principalship of the Oxford High School, in Talbot county which position he filled for three years when he resigned to accept a professorship in the Maryland Military and Naval Academy then being organized in Oxford. This place he held during the life of the school, two years. In the summer of â87 Mr. Bounds conducted a Summer Normal at Mardela Springs which was attended by many of the teachers of this and adjoining counties. This was his last active school work in the State until he was made county Examiner some four years ago. In the fall of 87 Mr. Bounds went south and entered upon a business life in Alabama. He, however, still kept up his interest in school matters and was for several years residence in the south secretary and treasurer of a local school board. Returning to his naÂŹ tive State in 1890 he again took up his residence at his old home at Mardela Springs and in the spring of 1900 was made county Examiner. Since that time he has been conspicuous in all efforts to attain a higher degree of efficiency in the public school system of Maryland. lie is a staunch friend of the new education and through his efforts, in a great measure, a practical course of study has been adopted by the State Board of Education and is now in effect throughout the entire state. The State Teachers Association while in session at Ocean City in 1903 made him president; he is also a member of the Board of Managers of the State Teachers Reading Circle. II i 9 work to the state at large has been most valuable yet his chief ambition has been to promote the best interests of education in his own county and especially is this notice tble in the rural districts. He has fully realized the needs of our rural schools and his heart has been with the boys and girls who attend those schools; he has worked to give them the best teachers available, has urged that their surroundings be made homelike and that all discouraging conditions be eliminated so far as possible. During his administration a great deal has been done along the line of systematizing the grade work and in bringing the teacher up along the line of professional work. The latter is evidenced by the teachers meetings, the district associations, and the present way of conÂŹ ducting our County Institutes. CLASS OF 1904.

Salisbury High School The Salisbury High School was created in 1872 by act of the Maryland Legislature, that is the School Board established the Salisbury School after obtaining an act to have all the property and rights of the SalisÂŹ bury Academy transferred to it. It was therefore the legitimate successor of the Salisbury Academy which was the educational centre of the town for more than a quarter of a century and numbered among whose princiÂŹ pals were such eminent men as the late Col. Graham of this city and the late Col. E. G. Polk of Somerset. The last principal of this venerable institution became the first principal of the Salisbury High School.âProf. Thos. H. Williams who served continuously from 1872 to 1880, when he was succeeded by Rev. Mr. Heaton who, it seems did not prove much of a success as a teacher as he remained only a few months to be succeeded by Prof. DeWitt Clinton Ingle- Feb. 1881 to May 1884âProf. Ingle who although an intellectual man was singularly inanimate and undemonstrative in his manner. When he first visited the school after his election, for the purpose of assuming his new duties, it is reported that his address to the school consisted in about these words, delivered in the tamest and most inanimate style, his voice attenuated and monotonous. âNow young ladies and gentlemen, I mean businessâ. It is difficult to tell just how he impressed the fact upon the school that he did mean business from his mannerism. Prof. Ingle was succeeded by his opposite Prof. Foreman. Alike in intellectuality but opposite in forced resolution and excessive determination, and egotism. Prof. Foreman held the scepter for two years. During this time the curriculum of the school underwent material alteration. It was expended especially down literary lines. The subject of literatureaml the history of literature was given more attention, and a very respectable laboratory was fitted up for demonstrative Phvsics and Chemistry. A new four room building in the meantime had taken the place of the old Academy building. This building was destroyed by tire in 1880 at the great conflagration and upon its ruins the presÂŹ ent High School building was erected. Upon the retirement of Prof. Foreman, Prof. Thos. II. Williams again assumed command and remained principal till 1890, when he retired voluntarily a second time, after many years of efficient work and faithful service, to be succeeded by his pupil, Mr. Harry B. Freeny who retired after four years of usefulness in the school, to practice law. lie was succeeded by Prof. C. H. LeFevre whose course was short but eminently satÂŹ isfactory to every one except the school officials. The work of his successor Prof. Holloway and his successor, our present principal is in the modern history or current events so we will leave it to our p teriiy to chronicle. II S M. S. HlumnL ERNEST A. TOADVINE. Ernest A. Toadvine was a member of the second class of the Salisbury High School. He graduated lirst in the class of 1K77. After graduation he was offered a position with Major Randolph, Chief Civil Engineer of the Baltimore and OhioJRailroad Co., but owing to the poor health of his father, could not accept but went in the County Clerkâs office in 18S0 as Deputy and continued Deputy under Dr. F. M. Slemons and James G. Truitt until November 4th., 1903 when he was elected Clerk of the Circuit Court. April 7th, 1885 he married Miss A. L. Bell, of Missouri. He has one daughter, Miss Martha Toadvine, who is now a member of the Junior Class of the High School. CAPTAIN ALBERT LAWS, U. S. A. Albert Laws graduated at the High School of Salisbury Maryland, in May 1888 â Entered the United States Military Academy, of West Point, N. Y., June 15th., 1880âand graduated June 12th., 1893, after which he was assigned to the twenty-fourth Infantry, United States Army as second Lieutenant and stationed at Fort Bavard, New Mexico; from there the regiment w ' as sent to Fort Douglas, Utah. He remained there until war was declared between the United States and Spain. In April 1898 the 24th was ordered from Fort Douglas to Garnpa, Florida en route to Cuba and there he received his promotion from 2nd Lieutenant and was also made Regimental Quarter Master of the 24th Regiment. In June of 1898 the regiment was ordered to Cuba and asÂŹ signed to the command under Gen. T. Kent and in a few days the 24th took a conspicuous part in the battle of San Juan Hill, near Santiago de Cuba, July 1st, 1898. After remaining in the trenches for fourteen days beÂŹ fore Santiago de Cuba the regiment was ordered to Siboney to nurse the sick and wounded. After staying at Siboney for seven weeks they were sent to Montauk Point; from there back to Fort Douglas, Utah. In June of 1899 the regiment was ordered to California, en route to the Philippines. While waiting for transportation Lieutenant Laws was notified bv a telegram from Washington telling him that he had been made Major of the 35th infantry U. S. V. then being organized at Vancouver-Barracks,âWashington State. In October â99 the 35th was ordered to the Philippines, sailed on October 4th â99. He remained with the 35th until mustered out of service at San Francisco in â01, he then received his promotion to captain in the Regular Army, which 10 position be still holds. In the summer of 1901 he was sent to Richmond, Ya., as recruiting officer, from thereÂŹ to Columbus, Ohio for dutv-;Vf-rom-Columbus to the Freckle ' s of Cal., to await transportation to the Philippines to join his regiment, the 24th Infantry; he returned to the United States in 1902 with his regiment. He is now at Port Harrison, Montana, as Commissary of the regiment, Fort Harrison being the Regimental headÂŹ quarters of the 24th. SAMUEL R. DOUGLASS. Mr. Samuel R. Douglass, an attorney-at-law in Salisbury is a native of the âBlue Henâ State but lias- resided many years in Maryland. He graduated from the Salisbury High School in 1893; from Washington College in 1896. He was principal of Sharptown Grammar School for one year and Delmar Grammar School; foi one ear (189(-1899). He took a course in law at the University of Maryland, and was admitted to pracÂŹ tice in the courts in 1900. Mr. Douglass is considered one of the rising young lawyers of this city. In politics he is a Democrat and his voice is heard on the âhustingsâ every campaign. He is connected with St. Peter ' s P. E. Church and is one of the ested choir. He stands well in the social circles in the city, being a man of pleasant address and free and easy manners. JAMES 0. ADAMS. Mr. James O. Adams, whom we are proud to number among our alumni, is one of the most progresÂŹ sive young men in Sharptown, was horn in that town July 10, 1877. He first began his education in the pubÂŹ lic schools of that place, showing marked ability during early childhood. In Sept. 1895 he matriculated at Maryland Agricultural College, entered the Freshman Class and came away in June with first honors of his class â it consisting of forty young men. In Sept. 1896, he entered the Senior Class of Salisbury High School and graduated in 1897, ranking first in the class. In Sept. 1897, he was made principal of Sharptown GramÂŹ mar School which position he held for three years. During his principalship of this school, it attained a deÂŹ gree of proficiency that has made it one of the foremost sch ools of the county. During the summer of 1899 beÂŹ took a post-graduate course in mathematics at Harvard University. In 1900, he entered the office of the A- 1 . Robinson Hâdâw. Co., as confidential book-keeper and from that time he has been closely related to the busiÂŹ ness interest of Sharptown. In 1902, he was made Notary Public for Sharptown Bank by Gov. Jno. Waiter- Smith. In 1903, he was elected a member of the Board of Town Commissioners for Sharptown. 20 Mr. Adams was secretary and treasurer of the firm of A. W. Robinson Co. from its incorporation in 1903 until its absorption by the Marvil Packing Co. Mr. Adams is a member of the following fraternal organizations; Masons, Knights of Pythias and Sr. 0. U. A.M. In politics he is a sturdy Democrat and has many times represented the democracy of his district in nominating conventions in which his membership was valuable. Mr. Adams is a high minded, noble man, one of pleasing address and wonderful personality. Sharptown may well be proud of him as one of her favorite sons. GRACE W. ALLEN. Miss Grace W. Allen, one of our lady alumnae, was reared in Allen, this county, where she attended the public school. In 1889 she entered the Salisbury High School from which she graduated in 1892, being valeÂŹ dictorian of her class. Immediately after graduation she began a pedagogical career, that has been one of marked progress and success. She taught Nanticoke school for three years; Allen for four years; was princiÂŹ pal of Delmar Grammar School for one year and is now completing her second year on the island of Porto Rico. Here she was at first visiting instructor in English in the schools of Ponce. On account of her proficiency in this line as well as her rapidly acquired knowledge of the Spanish language she haa been appointed vice princiÂŹ pal of the High School in Mayagueg, from which position she draws a large salary, Miss Allen was granted in 1901 a life certificate by the State Board of Education in Maryland. She has ever been a progressive and faithful teacher and is one among many of our graduates who has sought to ennoble nnd dignify the profession of teaching. She has been popular in the communities where she taught and her withdrawal from the county was regretted by many. GEORGE HANDY WAIDES. The subject of this sketch was born at âLakesideâ in the town of Salisbury on August 22nd., 18C6. He was educated in the public schools, graduating from the Salisbury High School in 1882. The class of ' 82 was the first for many years to hold Commencement exercises and Mr. Wailes vas valedictorian.

Lacy Thoroughgood, a native of Wicomico County, graduated from the Salisbury High School with the class of 1878, ' and took naturally to the clothing business like a duck to water. He held several clerkships; his first one was in Baltimore in the New York Clothing House. He came back to Salisbury after a few years and accepted a position with Birckhead, Laws Carey in their clothing department, and after four years with them he accepted a position as salesman with Schaumloeffel, the Salisbury Merchant Tailor, which was terminated by the big Salisbury fire in 1886. Eighteen years ago this fall he opened up the clothing business in Salisbury for himself and has never had cause to regret the opening, for his great success as a merchant is known to all who deal with him, and now he has two of the leading-stores in Salisbury.

FOOKS. COLORS OICbe Green and Gold, 27 History of Class of 1904. Jt MARY COLLEY. âShe tells you flatly what her mind is.â The most demure and unassuming girl whoever came to the Salisbury High Schooh She is very shv. especially when she is compelled to appear on the stage, at which times she is the very picture of distress. Mary is our brightest student and never will own that she studies much, which we know she does, at anv rate, she always knows her lessons. HERBERT CLARENCE FOOKS. âBorn to excel and to command.â Herbert is a man of magnificent proportions, with a voice suggestive of a bull frog in a bass drum. He is- more HIGH minded than most of his class-mates, being about six feet. He is the class poet, and has contribÂŹ uted several selections of his own composition to the âTatlerâ. Herbert never feels more at ease than when in the Trigonometry class, very different from the majority of his class-mates. J MARY COLLIER HILL. âThe sweetest of all sounds is praise.â May used to be one of those quiet kind of girls that never said much, but had her own way, but a great double change has come upon her recently, she talks continually, and allows herself to have a âBoss.â Mayâs voice is her only cause for vanity, and if more of us had such voices, we would be as vain as she. Her greatÂŹ est ambition is to be a school teacher in the little town of H.n. NELLIE LEE LANKFORD. âShe would ask an angel WHY the heavenly throne was white.â Nell is the coquette of the tenth Grade. It is said by some that she has a pull with the teachers, whether this is true or not, we cannot positively say, but there is one thing certain, she can beat anything using strat- e §y that ever walked in number six shoes. hen a question is asked, she is certain not to know, but will talk intelligently on some other subject for five minutes or more and will consequently receive a ten. 28 FLORENCE WILSON LOWE. âWhy do you walk as if you had swallowed a ram-rodâ Wilsie is constructed on the hean pole plan, and is the longest and narrowest girl in the class. She never ventures out in damp weather, for fear of drowning her ârat,â to which she is very much attached. She is very kind hearted and always willing to help whenever she can. CLARA BELLE PARKER. âOh keep me innocent, make others great. Our class beauty, but not vain in the least. Clara is the artist of the â04 class, and is renowned about the whole school for her drawings of the cat family, and she is not exceeded in her reproduction of the famous âGibson girl.â She is very attractive to one or more of the young gentlemen of her class, but it is hard to decide which has the firmer hold on her, perhaps C. .r. .s thinks he has. WILLIAM WALLER PERRY. âAlone among ladies is a most dangerous thing.â William is the most bashful young man in the class, and becomes thoroughly scared when obliged to carry on a conversation with two or even more girls at one time. He is one of the High Schoolâs best athletes and is manager of the Base Ball and Foot Ball teams of â03 and â04. CLARA MAY POWELL. âMore wide than tall, but a kindly little body.â Clara is the largest and most even tempered of the class. She, with Laura and Mary, form the trio of head lights by which we are lead. Clara never bothers her head over the boys ami therefore is never in such a whirl of uncertainty as Piggie and Nell; but although this is the case she can give valuable advice to the other girls who are so sorely distressed about such things. But, sad to say, the advice is seldom taken. Without Clara, the class would miss the association of one of its hardest workers. 29 KARL FEHRENBACK SCHULER. ââThe ladies call him sweet â Karl is, strickly speaking, the best âladies manâ in the class. Of this fact he is well aware. For any one who has hail the pleasure of beholding the dainty arrangement of fair locks over his well shaped head would be sure to form the opinion that he had a strong liking for the company of those âterrible creaturesâ â girls. Carl is one of the best athletesâ in the school, being captain of the base ball teams of â03 and â04 and foot ball team of â04. CHARLES ERNEST T1LGHMAN. âSlow and sure is his motto. Charles, although very slow in answering questions fired at him by the teachers, is almost certain to imÂŹ part to the class some of his stored up energy. So when the class sees Charles open his ortifice, they are sure,, they know, to receive some of the fruits of his labor. LAURA LEE WAILES. ââIf I chance to talk a little while, forgive me.â Laura is the biggest flirt in the entire school, not only among the students, but teachers as well. She always manages to find out in some way, more about other peopleâs affairs than they themselves even know. The puzzle yet unsolved is how she finds out so much. Laura says that she thinks it is the nicest joke for her to find something to tease the teacher in Math about. But she is really one of the shining lights of the class, for her hair is the regular brick dust red. EVA WIMBROW. âA small bit of genuine womanhoodâ Eva is most familiarly known by her class-mates asâPiggie,â was scared in infancy and never grew hard, ly any at all, and is therefore the class baby (in size). The. S II. S. contains her body, but the St. Johnâs- College holds her heart. If you happen to notice her on some Tuesday afternoon, and she chances to look sad or somewhat heart broken, you may surely know that the postman passed by her house that morning without leaving the desired letter. 30 NORMAN LEROY WILLIAMS. Norman is very fond of either sitting in the seat with, or standing by the window and chnm with one of the fair sex. It is rumored i round the school that Norman is very popular with the said party.

This was the largest class in the history of the school, and though they were âlargeâ in their own estimation, perhaps, yet they deserve a great deal of credit, because they âlabored under manv difficulties.â J The first year of our High School life was a notable one and one that will be long remembered bv all. Let me gi ve a few reasons for that statement. First: |ârhe swelled heads that all, as Juniors, carried. Second: The class did not even have a home, nor âwhere to lay their â BOOKS. Third: Latin was first begun by us that year, and Oh, how often did we wish that that year would end it. Fourth: We were dubbed Seventh Grade Devils (What a noble and glorious title) on account, it was supposed, of our excellent conduct. Is it auy wonder that we consider that a year worthy of remembrance? But whether or not some fairy god-mother came around during the next summer with her magic wand is not known, but as Eighth Graders we were an entirely different class. We did the hardest work of any class in the school, and in some way or other gained the respect, if nothing more of the teachers. And that was more than we had the year before. The year of 1904 finds us with thirty pupils in the class, twenty-seven girls and three boys; and just a word about those three boys, they deserve a history written by one of the best historians of the day. They stay off all by themselves in one corner of any room in which they go. Oh! They are brave! You might think they were almost afraid of girls. Each one has his characteristic. One is a follower of Paderewski; one makes a strenuous effort to sing tenor. (We are afraid that some of his throat strings will break some day.) The other is a crank, now donât misunderstand me, he is a base-ball crank. There are a few in the class who are great mathematicians, some like English better. (Because we have no books to study.) -vas Now, we glory in reminding ourselves of the fact that this is the last year we will have anv class above us to look down on us and make us feel âsmallâ, and that if nothing happens, next year we may remind the other classes of their insignificance as compared with us. 35 11 ran FRANCIS (K)SLEE.

The old halls were no longer silent but echoed and re-echoed with the joyous voices of those who were ready and even anxious to resume their studies after a long dream of idleness. The Seniors were not long in assuming their attitude of dignity and the jolly Juniors understood their new duties and now we, whom the Colleges would call ââSilly Sophsâ come before you to give you just a hint of the role that we play in the affairs of the Salisbury High School. We are sorry to say there is a great depletion in our numbers but after Judgment Day thechaff was separÂŹ ated from the wheat and a number were thrown out so now we start out in earnest to work on our noted career. Our class is not large, only 38; 26 girls and 12 boys, but a more remarkable history was never known. By no other class are we surpassed in vocal music, art, and elocution. We have some who warble like night-in-gales, and one of our bright girls is always ready with words for our music, for instance, ââThe parade we ' d like to see, But the teachers won ' t agree. â I will not go into detail about the talent which our class possesses in art but the work has been on exhiÂŹ bition every year at the Manual Training Department and if once you see the productions you cannot question the fame of the class in this line. If you desire to be moved by the eloquence of speech, you will lind satisfacÂŹ tion in our class, especially by some of the boys whose collars are so high, and the political discussions and deÂŹ bate would be creditable even to the orators of Ancient Greece. But let us pass on to Athletics, â a Foot Ball team has been organized and although we are not noted in that line, we are looking for better results in the future. This class can boast of its two Hills, one of which may be termed volcanic mountain, because it. someÂŹ times has an eruption in the form of sneeze, and we all feel like fleeing for our fives. But let us speak of the girls. What a faithful band and how proud we feel of them! They are proficient 41 iii all their studies and their characters are all different; as one of the girls is often discovering something, but has not discovered if any of our boys wear wigs. And another by her flashing eyes, compels the teacher to give her ten, for he is as much afraid of her as the scholars. Would that I might present to you a clearer and more definitely defined record of this noble class, but you can better understand our history when you know that our teacher is the polished and renowned Latin scholar of Ancient Rome âVirgil. AVe like him and we pattern after him for greatness and fame. Our class has made a record that we feel very proud of and we are often congratulated for our good work and behavior, and we only hope that this record may not be broken unless for greater excellence. 42 Girls.

M i i After years of hard work in the Primary, Intermediate, and Grammar Departments of the Salisbury High school, we the class of 1907 gained the right to be called High School Students. One beautiful morning in the latter part of September when nature was preparing for the winter, and her summer glories were fast fading, forty boys and twenty girls sought admittance within the portal of the High School. Joyous was the morning when first we assumed the dignity of High School pupils, though we are not yet so dignified (?) as the seniors, we are doing very well for beginners, and hope to improve with age. We are by no means the best class the school has reared nor even the most studious for the little round marks opposite our names in the marking books show that all recitations are not perfect, and the repeated ocÂŹ casions on which some members of the class are given the seats of honor up front, show tl at there is still a little of the old time spirit of mischief in the class. In the athletics indulged in by the school, our class is well represented. The 1907 boys are prominent in the baseball and foot ball teams and we are all proud of the victory our boys helped the S. H. S. football team win from the class of 1906. They fought bravely and bore honor to their class and to the school. This year will soon draw to a close and we will have finished one year in the High School. Then the secÂŹ ond year of this life will confront us. What shall we put in it and the ones that follow? Let us hope that they be as succcessful as our first and when we part from the High School and its associations tin that day to which we look forward we will look backward over the course we have run, our thoughts will naturally linger upon the year of 1903-1904, the first spent under the direction of the High School faculty. 40 Girls.

ÂŁ Jt 4 The base ball season of â03 opened very successfully for Salisbury High School. The team went to Sea- ford on April 10th., and administered a defeat to the school team of that place. The day was a perfect one for base ball, and a large crowd gathered to cheer the home boys to victory. But the stubbornness with which the Salisbury boys fought them soon changed things. For the Salisbury High School, four men out of the first five succeeded in crossing the plate in the 1st inning. Seaford High School did not score in their half. Score, 4 to 0. Neither side scored again until the sixth, when the Salisbury boys succeeded in scoring two more runs. The Seaford boys scored one. Score, 6 to 1. In the seventh, Salisbury did not score, but Seaford boys scored one. Score, 7 to 2. In the eighth, Salisbury failed to score, while the Seaford boys added three runs to their score. Score 6 to 5. In the ninth, the Salisbury boys added one run, and then Schuler went in the box for Salisbury to reÂŹ place Phillips who had weakened. The first man up fanned. Hatfield knocked one through Jacobs. S( hulei hit Hurley, White knocked one to Sherman, who failed to stop it, Goslee secured the bal l and in trying to throw to the plate, fell, aud the ball went between third and home. Two runs crossed the plate which tied the score. The next two men were easy outs. Score 7 to 7. The tenth was very exciting, the Salisbury boys making two runs and held Seaford down to one.

In a meeting of the ball team, Mr. William Perry was elected manager and Mr. Carl Schuler was reÂŹ elected Captain. Owing to the vacancies which were caused by the graduation of Taylor and Adkins, and Smithâs, Phillip ' s and Jacobâs stopping school and the sad death of Hugh Goslee, the team will have a new line up. This yearâs team is composed of good talent and should win a majority of the games played. Catcher, W. Taylor. Third Base, 0. Grier. Pitchers, S. Fields, C. Schuler. Left Field, N. Richardson.

EIGHTH GRADE, 37â0 The Eighth Grade boasted that they could def eat the High School team (7th, 9th., and 10th combined.) These teams met on the grid-iron on Friday, Nov. 20th., and the result was that the Eighth Grade were deÂŹ feated by the score of 37 to 0. The game was started by Schuler kicking off to Eighth Grades 15 yard line, G. Hill ran it back 3 yards and was tackled by II. Fooks. Waller ran around left end for 75 yards, Schuler then blocked a kick by Colona and ran 100 yards for a touch down. Score 5 to 0. Colona kicked to Richardson who ran the full back 10 yards. Perry carried the ball through center for 5 yards, and then by a double pass Schuler carried the ball around right end for GO yards and a touchdown. Score 10 to 0. Hastings kicked to Richardson who carried the ball back 7 yards. Then by rushes and Perryâs run of 40 yards scored a touchdown. Score 15 to 0. Hastings kicked off to Richardson who carried the ball 12 yards and by a succession of ceuter rushes and hurdling by Perry, the High School soon forced Serman across the line for another touch down. Score 20 toO. The second half started by G. Hill, kicking off to Perry, who carried the ball back 9 yards. By a sucÂŹ cession of mass plays the High school succeeded in rushing Perry across the line. Score 25 to 0. The ball was kicked to Schuler, who carried it along the line for 16 yards, and again by mass plays together w r ith quick masses the High School sent Perry across the line for another down. Score 30 to 0. Colona kicked off and the ball was returned by a kick; but the referee would not allow this, so the ball was brought back to High School 20 yards line. But again by quick plays the ball was carried from their goal and when in mid-field Schuler kicked to 20 yard line. In a series of plays the Eighth Grade lost the ball and again it was carried near the Eighth Gradeâs goal. Perry tried a kick and Colona fell on the ball back of his goal, but it slipped from his grasp and C. Adkins fell on it. Score 32 to 0. The ball was kicked to Grier, w ' ho carried it back 7 yards. The High School gained and the Eighth Grade boys then took a brace w hich caused the High School to loose the ball on downs. After a few passes and 55 when they had pained a few yards, they lost the ball through a fumble. Again the High School boys by rushing and passes, and by Richardson ' s 12 yard run succeeded in making the full touchdown. Score 37 to 0. The teams line up as follows: W. Fooks.Left End.M. Melson N.

Ladies and Gentlemen: I greet you all; you who lead us along the rugged paths of knowledge, guiding our feet and supporting our tottering steps; you who come to listen and judge if any of us have gained by in - struotion or not; and you such of my schoolmates as do not take part in the exercises of the dayâI greet you with a welcome to these exercises and a hope that this, trilling as its incidents mav seem, will be a red-letter day in our lives, to be recurred to as one of fjuiet pleasure. 60 We come tonight to show to you in our modest way what progress we have made in our studies, so far as that can be expressed by essays and orations upon subjects of interest. I welcome you as the judges of the efforts made to show the progress made by pupils and the skill and faithfulness to duty by teachers. As kinsfolk, patrons, friends, witnesses, and judges, I salute you in behalf âąof the school. The ordeal through which we have passed, you have all gone through and forgotten. The hard work of the school-boys and school-girls hopes to achieve something in the way of knowledge, their fears of a failure, the difficulties in their path, and even their disappointments; all are dim memories to you. To us they are active. They are too near to be forgotten. And if some of those who tonight are to endeavor to amuse you should win your favor, let it not be scantily expressed. You must not infer because at this commencement we merely show you a respectable proficiency in the arts of elocution, music, and authorship that our teachers have neglected to ground us in other and less ornamental branches of knowledge. That would be injustice to them and the system of the school. But the more useful parts of the education given at school are of a nature which would make their display wearisome. Indeed, the âąexercises of this occasion are not given merely for display, but because they lighten the occasion, and it is hoped will please, or at least amuse the audience. The place for the display of what we have gained at school is in the home circle and during the duties of after life. And it is in the families of the pupils and with their friends that the instructors who have trained us so patiently and well are to gain their laurels, if they gain them at all. Whatever more solid information they may have led us to acquire, whatever improvement of manÂŹ ner or perfection of morals their teachings have produced, is to be exhibited during our own future course of action. It cannot be presented to you touight, and you have only to infer part of it from what you hear and âąsee. You do not expect to hear skilled performers, authors of genius, or orators of eloquence, and therefore our deficiencies will not so much displease you. We know you will be lenient judges, and we submit our crude -efforts, poor as they may be, without fear . And as our friends we welcome you again. 61 VALEDICTORY. Valedictory delivered in Ulmanâs Grand Opera House, Wednesday evening, May 13, 1903 bv Mr. Cecil Goslee, first honor pupil of the class. And now ladies and gentlemen, the curtain is about to drop upon one of the acts in the drama of the grad- uates lives, and in a few minutes those who have worked together for a time will part, with no certainty of meeting again; and these halls, that have been so resonant with voices and so bright with smiles, will be still, dark and deserted. Friends and relatives, who sit here tonight to witness our efforts, many of you may never meet with us again. et your kind applause, your smiles, and the interest and pleasure you have shown in the production of the graduates have now for you a place in our heart of hearts. Some of you are of kin to us, others are strangÂŹ ers. Some we may meet daily, others never agaiu. Though we cherish those whose presence we are fortunate enough to retain, yet we will remember those, whom we may never meet again. To them we bid a respectful and sorrowful farewell. As we feel upon our brow the breath of a new life and a widening future, we turn to you, the Trustees of this institution with the full confidence that the thoughts that are pressing themselves upon us are your thoughts also. We sincerely thank you that this school has been kept faithful to its historic antecedents and in the same breath with which we speak our parting words we also express our gratitude to you for the choice of the Principal under whom you have enabled us, his firstborn, to go forth today. We know that you have been back of this school, guarding her material interests and guiding her with undiminished prosperity through these trying seasons. e, your debtors invoke the same success for your administration. Dear Schoolmates, to you we commend the interests we have hitherto cherished together, knowing that your enthusiastic loyalty is no less than ours. We did not know how much we esteemed you until we came to part. Next September when you resume your journey up the Hill of Difficulty, may you remember not to despair but press on, and you will soon find pleasure in your task. May you keep sacred the trust, to throw no discredit upon your alma mater, and to make her by your lives as proud as she is fond. We will never meet again as school-mates, and so â farewell. Dear Principal and teachers, it is hard to part with you. Those, who stand here equipped for the warfare of life and prepared for the higher education, acquired by intercourse with the world, are to speak through me their regretful and affectionate farewell. They stand here to bid adieu to the hall of learning and the associaÂŹ tions, which their term of study created. But they cannot sever the ties of memory; and wherever their desÂŹ tiny may lead them, they will never forget their obligation to you. It was by your firm hand that our steps, feeble at first, were increased to strides, and we have acquired much of that learning which you have imparted to us from your ample store, which has enriched us while it has not impoverished you. We have wandered with you by the seashore of learning and tilled our scrip with pebbles. We are not learned â even you have told us there is still more to learn for the path of learning has no end, and first of all that one is not learned who has not discovered his own ignorance. We are venturing our vessels beyond the gentle stream, whose depths and shallows we know so well, to sail on the great sea of uncertainty, and that the future has in store for us we are uncertain. But if we should make a succcessful voyage we w ill look back to the ones that gave ns our maps and charts. In bidding you farewell, we hope that you who have been so useful already may be crownÂŹ ed by the golden rays of ease and comfort as the sun is setting on your honored lives. Farewell and ma- you think as kindly of your pupils as they will think of you. Classmates, it is for you and me to exchange farewells. Here we stand together, it may be for the last time, wearing our honorsâI trust, meekly and yet with a justifiable pride in a success won by our diligence, patience, and obedience to discipline. An age spent in one school gives opportunity for the forming of many and strong ties. Constituted as I am, friendship is an essential element of mv lifeâs food, and I have found a bountiful supply in this school. There are too many memories of our vast connection some tender, some joyÂŹ ful and some sadâwhich forbid us to forget each other or the halls that echoed with our tread or resounded w ith our voices. Let us cherish these memories, and tell those w ho are to come after us, the pleasures of our school days, our blunders, our failures, and our triumphs; and as we sink into old age let these be among the most gilded pages of our lifeâs Great Day, when the muster roll of the just is called at Heavenâs Gate, each and all of us may answer âAdsum.â To others a farew r ell, but with each of us let the last words be good-bye until to-morrow. 63 Class Song . Words by Miss Nellie R. Humphreys, Air Juanita. Gone are our school days, Days in which we were care free; Life tilled with bright rays, Drawn from childhood glee. Naught our spirits daunting, Though the days were sad or gay; Henceforth memâry haunting Childhoods happy lay. Schooldays, dear schooldays, To thee ever will we sing; Schooldays, dear schooldays, Praise to thee we bring. Begone, Frivolity Stern life now, before us lies; Womanly dignity, Manly honor, rise! By thee may we be led, That when lifeâs course has been run, Of us may it be said âServants mine, well done.â Guard us, O guide us, Till the path of life weâve trod; Guard us, O guide us, On our way to God. (54 Black clouds are lined With a hue, âtis said of gold; And, should we eâer find Those sad lives that hold Trials and woes hard pressing, Dark clouds gathered round about, Let us with Godâs blessing Put the clouds to route. The black, O leave us, Into life, now, as we go The gold, be with us Light our path below. Then âAstra Castraââ Let it be our guide to right; Andânun ien lumenââ â God in heaven our light. When at length we find us W 7 ith eternity so near. May Godâs love so bind us, Tâwill dispel our fear. Guide us, O guide us, Down the path to truth and right; Guide us, O guide us, To the realms of light. 65 Ti ÂŁ Harper Medal. It is most gratifying to the pupils and teachers of the Salisbury High School to have such staunch a friend and supporter as it finds in Mr. Chas. E. Harper, leading jeweler and optician of this city. Although Mr. Harper has no children in the schools yet his sympathy for those concerned in school work is ever manifest and his desire to reward true worth has often times been apparent. Ibis could not be plainer than by his last step along the line of reward, which is a solid gold medal valued at $25, awarded by Mr. llarp r each year to the best all round student in the Senior Class. This medal is presented to the recipient at the Annual Commencement exercises in May. Mr. Harper leaves each year the decision of the pupil to the Faculty of the High School. Last year at the graduating exercises this medal was presented to Mr. Cecil Vernon Goslee, the presentaÂŹ tion being made by Prof. II. Crawford Bounds, School Fxaminer for IVicomico County. ' So long as we have citizens of the city thus interested in the progress and uplift of the schools, our own will continue to be in the van of the High Schools that are on the march for the education of youth. 66 Glimpse Into Eternity, i i The steamer was quietly plowing its way through the calm sea; nearly all the passengers were on deck viewÂŹ ing the beautiful summer sunset. We were to enter the beautiful city of Salisbury on the next morning. Twenty long years had passed since I had feasted mine eyes on the beloved place where I spent so many happy schooldays. And of course my thoughts were of the morrow. I sat down dreamily while the others took in the beautiful scenery. In a few minutes the scene seemed to change for me. I w r as walking hurriedly down East Chestnut Street, then up the walk to the old school-building and into the door where I had happily passed out twenty years before. When I reached my old room in the same old way, opened the door and started inâbehold, it and the adjoining were full of peculiar looking instruments. Stepping back, I looked over the door and s  w in large letters LABRATORY OF PROF. WILLIAM MORRIS. No one seemed to be stirring so I resolved to walk through it and examine a few things. I was looking carefully as I walked when suddenly my eyes fell upon a skeleton, a few ' feet from me. After the first feeling of horror passed off, I drew closer to examine it. My attention was first drawn to the nose which appeared to have been in life rather flat. Also the skeleÂŹ ton was rather short. âHave I seen that person?â was the question whicch I revolved through my mind. But I was not left in doubt long for suddenly a voice issued from its mouth saying, â0, donât you remember Williams of your class?â A horrible shudder passed over me. Was some one trying to scare me or was the skeleton really talking? Rattling its long fingers on a table near by, it exclaimed âDontâ be afraid, for I have something to tell you.â My fears being quieted, and recognising it to be the skeleton of my former classÂŹ mate, we entered into conversation. First I requested him to tell me his story which was thus: 67 âA few years after I graduated,I went out west to try cattle-raising. In the course of ten years I became rich and grew tired of the lonely cuttle ranch. I had always been fond of travel so now was my chance. âI planned to keep on west, cross the Pacific, Asia and Europe, and return to America by the Atlantic. âI started on my trip, but when the eastern coast of Asia was reached, while wandering about the country alone, I was killed and eaten by the natives. âSome Christian missionaries, seeing the crowd of natives around me, investigated the matter; and, after finding my name and address among my baggage, sent my skeleton home at the first opportunity. When it reached here, it proved to be exactly what was meded for the school. Iâro. Morris, the principal, with the aid of Huflington, the examiner, obtained it and here it has been ever since.â âHow about your soul? where has it been all the time?â I asked. âIt is in torment. Although when alive I tried to do right, yet deep down in my heart I was proud and selfish; and of course you know the result of such a nature. âHell is an awful place to be in, vet many of our former class-mates are there. You remember when the teacher at school asked any one a question, Adkins took great delight in telling that one the answer. He sureÂŹ ly followed the good motto, âDo unto others as you would have others do unto you,â for he was sure even in written recitations to ask someone for anything he did not know. This caused him trouble, and he was sent down below, and would you believe it, even there he gets himself into trouble ou account of his ever ready longue for he was alwa s a fine orator. âIâm sure you will not be surprised when I tell yon that âNellâ also is in torment, for you could not forÂŹ get that her favorite pastime at school was prevarication. Well, she can yet spin out stories as well as ever. She often amuses the old fellow himself with her wondrous tales. âAnd even your chain Parker is thereâshe was a good hearted girl, except in one thing. If any one once did her an injury or did something that she did not like, she would never entirely forgive that person. And thus she was forgiven as she forgave. âDonât you remember that v chiller would often slip off from school without asking the Professor? ell, he tried bis skill down there, but didnât have as good luck as he did at school, for he was caught just as he was almost at the top of the wall, car ied back and kept closer than before.â âWell,â said I, âHave you sem any of the Professors there? Some of them are dead.â 68 âWhy I had almost forgotten them,â he replied,â âYes, indeed, Goslee is there. He was always conÂŹ ceited and still remains so, although he doesnât like for people to think he is. I honestly believe that he thinks that he is the smartest person in hell, and could manage the whole affair if allowed. But Ward is there, and always happens to be in the way when he wants to act Grand (t). âWardâs cross spells were such a common thing that Iâm sure you could not easily forget them. Mv! the way he did scare us when he had one; no one dared to say a word. He has them there sometimes and tries to be boss over every body; but not very often, for when he has one the OLD MAN teases him and makes him madder than ever.â Just then some one gave me a shake and said, âSmeta if you donât wake up, Iâll leave you here alone on deck.â 1 opened my eyes quickly, and at my side, instead of the skeleton, stood my brother. 6 ( J Circus Day. On one bright and sunny day Five tenth grade girls went astray, For hearing the band on the street They jumped up and left their seats. Out by doors, halls and stairs They like lightning disappeared And quite a long race they did run Which, they say, was âall for fun.â When, at length, they reached the spotâ Out of breath and smoking hotâ Where the music rent the air They looked on with an âowlish stare.â But the band could not be heard So back they marched without a word. And in the room which they had left They rushed in quite âout of breath.â Seated all and laughing loud, This was quite a jolly crowd, Till a man with looks austere Entered calmly, and said, âLook here!â âI am sorry, I must say, That the ladies have this day All joined hands and run away From their studies for to play. âFor I thought you ought to know Better than to the circus go; For, when I am in the room below, Then you should study in voices low. 70 âBut from this rule you have departed, And I feel quite broken-hearted To think they have all been thwarted Before school has two weeks been started. âYou have also a problem stated That will not be underrated By any grades herein âslatedâ Till by it theyâre animated âBut this time Iâll try to spare you, If youâll promise and declare to Never more even think or dare to Do or say what you will not swear to.â With these words his speech w as ended And the Five Girls condescended To beg for pardon and, it being granted, They, being downcast, sadly lamented. Lamented! No, that is not right, For, as soon as the teacher was out of sight, Their tears had fled, and with faces bright. They sat up in a manner polite. More of this to you I would tell, But from it you can see very well That if it to the Principal should fall. He would come in rage our heads to maul. So with this wish weâll say good-bye, That for the Five Girls you will sigh; And they in return will ever try lo keep tales like this from your eye. 71 Story of Chestnut Hunt by Virgil Freeny Ward i i i On Nov. 6, 190 Warfield, the white man, was elected Governor of Maryland by the white voters of the state; thereby giving Teddy and Booker T. a punch that would have fixed a Sullivan. Important and far-reachÂŹ ing as was this event, it was far eclipsed by au event wherein the âcolored populationâ worried us nota little mite. In trying to picture the occasion to others than those present methinks one word ought to be coined since no words of Webster could possibly contain so much meaning or depth of feeling. When Earthâs bright luminary appeared above the horizon, and began slowly to ascend the heaveus the higher it advanced toward the zenith, the lower sank the âspiritsâ of the republican leaders; not so with the little party which left the home of Laura, the Golden Haired, in a kind of omnibus built for some sixteen or twenty, according to size ? and drawn by a pair of Godâs uncertainties (mules). This party consisting of Senior Class, Misses Alma Lankford, Emma Day and Laura Elliott as chaperons, and one of the old bachelor teachers to perform acrobatÂŹ ic feats for the amusement of the crowd, wended its way through Main Street, across the bridge and out into the open air to hunt (so the class said) chestnuts. â The first thing of interest spied was a turnip patch and they were real turnips too, although Laura insisted that they were goose-berries and Clara Parker, who has a very artistic temperament anyway, thought it might be a flower garden. A hasty reconnoiter being taken and the gardener being out of sight, a decision to get samples was soon reached and at once arose a discussion about who should make the raid. It was out of the question fo- a lady to attempt it since their skirts would retard speed should it be necessary to run from the farmerâs bullets. Herbertâs father being sheriff, he knew should a writ be issued for him by the owner, he would easily be apprehended; and Norman, it seems had just polishÂŹ ed his shoes and wouldânt think of spoiling his day by soiling them in the dew. Besides, Clara Powell sugÂŹ gested, â Why canât the old bachelor teacher go for them? He ought to do something to pay us for bringing himââAnd he did â Turnips he found and, as was expected, kept the largest one for himself. The next stop was on the edge of the chestnut grove; each individual started out to study nature as it exists; the chaperons during this time had been forgotten until we heard a commotion near where we had hitched our carry-all and Lo and behold! pickles, pine apples, ham, chicken and quail were disappearing from the lunch baskets so rapÂŹ idly the conjecture is, had we remained away for a longer period, the lunch, which had been prepared for twenty, would have been eaten by three. 72 The purpose of the trip was given out by the class prior to departure we have said, was chestnut finding, but one studying conditions as they existed, while we were out could easily see that the wrong term had been applied and this name had been used to avoid the use of thirteen, since each member w T as bent on a separate errand. Norman it seemed had furnished the wherewith to go for no other purpose than to have his school name changed from âsoftyâ to âsweetness;â it was extremely sweet for him and a vote of thanks by all memÂŹ bers of party was tendered him. Nell, as one could see, was interested in farming, especially so in small truckers or âgardeners.â This as well as information concerning the status of the minds of some other members is gleaned from the following conversation. Nell.âGirls, what do you reckon that man is doing in that potato patch with a basket? May.âWhy-er I, suppose he is picking peas for the BOSton market. Nell. â I wonder if other girls like raddishes, artichokes, cabbage and onions as well as I? Emma Brewington. â Why, Nell, what in the world made you think of that? Nell. â Well, I was just trying to think of something that grew in a garden that I donât like and I cannot. The sound of the word has a peculiar effect on me. Do any of ou girls hear your hearts gopit-a pat when you think of that name? Eva. â You bet your life not, and itâs well too, for there wouldnât be enough to go around and some of you w r ould be getting Knox over it. I couldnât stand for that you know. Laura (demurely) I donât want either â Harry will be home Xmas. After lunch was finished and a few of the chestnut trees searched, the light heels were hooked up and we advanced to a farm-house built in the woods to look for liquid refreshment. The Old Oaken Bucket had been replaced by a modern pump, but from the appearance of the tin cup we were not so positive and thought perÂŹ haps it had seen service long before the bucket had âfallen to staves.â While there we were much amused to see Emma Brewington and Clara Parker flirting with the little bare-footed boy of the house. Peanuts and sweet-meats were given him and in return he promised them a kiss when he got âbigge .â Who knows but what some day heâll be president of this great country and one of the two girls his âadviser?â M re unlikely things have happened, no doubt. Our ride home was one round of continual pleasure until we came in sight of the tall spires of the churches, and then we realized that the day had ended too soon. Three cheers for Norman. 73 Glimpses Of Past And Future. O! Classmates, we will soon embark For fair but distant shores, Whose winding courses have been marked By intellectual lore. But, ere we launch our tiny crafts, It would be right to pause, And think a moment of the past. And of the High School laws. Long years have past since we were cast From home and the fireside, And made our way to school to play In all our pomp and pride, We did not then know how T to spell Even words that were very short, But this was soon learned fairly well, And we had obtained a start. After letters were turned to words, Then words were joined to-gether, Just as the hides from living herds Are tanned and changed to leather, Thus, day by day, and year by year, We gleaned the fair page over, And gathered blossoms here and there From tops of waving clover. And every year, we arose a step, Higher upon knowledgeâs ladder; But we are at the bottom yet As compared to others greater, Yes, we have started on our way; When will we reach the summit? We hope and trust that some bright day May see us safe upon it. 74 But we must at all times strive on Like bees in sunny weather, Or we will have to gnaw the comb When the storms about us gather. And if the fabled Bird then comes With open mouth to swallow us, We w ill then offer him some crumbs, And he will perhaps pass by us. And if all other things have failed To offer preservation; Even then we can with prayers prevail âFore the author of salvation. And as we travel toward our goal, Let this be our endeavor â To always be true to the green and gold ; The green and gold forever! And let us strive, until grim Death Has read his sentence to us, To make each hour, moment and breath A check that will be due us. And if w T e measure well our time, Itâll be entered to our credit Upon the ledgers of menâs minds Which seldom will forget it. But something more we ought to know About this classâs progress; But all that history wâould not go Into a âSenate Digest.â So w ith a fewâ passing remarks, WVll return to our former topic Which was, that we would soon embark For frigid or for tropic. Many times the wild winds have swept Across the school-house square, Since this fifteen here did meet Their destiny to declare. When first we met, we strangers were, But we closer friends became Before the end of the first year Of our scholastic game. The second year dawns bright and clear,â Where is the âOld Fifteenâ? Only listen, and you can hear Them on the play-ground green. Their peals of laughter pierce the air And jar the distant hills, Till they resound with music rare That seems the heart to thrill. Times rolled on in a roaring flood, But we were not borne under; On the topmost trembling we stood While old Jupiter thundered. The waves were calmed, the waters ceased Their roaring and their rumbling, But the ebb-tide from their homes released Examinations grumbling, These were all past safely at last, With few conditions pending. And we were glad this school-year had So very nearly ended. Again, vacation flew swiftly by On wings of toil or pleasure, And we assembled once more, to try A more important measure. We entered again within the fold With an air aristocratic For we thought that we would reach our goal By studying a few more classics. That time â it might be well to say â We entered school as juniors, Where we by duty were bound to obey The orders of the seniors. After they dismounted, we Rode in their empty saddle; But, in one year, we were at sea With our own canoe to paddle. So here we stand upon the strand, The sea of life before us, We must set sail against storm and gale With God above to âdore us, And as we sail the sea of life Each in liis separate galley,â Let us be faithful in the strife, And for ââCarpe Diemâ rally. And with a sad, longing farewell To the old school-house on the hill. Weâll take the cup of sorrowâ up And drink the bitter pill. t ( The Giggling Club. c President, NINA G.

At the head of this class stands Huffington and close at his heels follows Ward, who is always able to give advice but never likes to take it, and flapping around the foot of the class is the âGoslinâ and then comes the âHawk But here are the personal histories of each, written by the best historians of the day. J. WALTER HUFFINGTON. J. Walter Huffington was born in Trappe and has been in one every since and is likely to remain in on© until he resigns his position as principal of the Salisbury High School. It has been said that some men are born great, that some achieve greatness, and that some have greatness thrust upon them, but, however, this may be it seems that some inevitable fate has destined this man to soar on ethereal wingsâwhich will be very valuable to him when the High School Hawk gets after him, for he has, like Cincinnatus,risen from the labors of the farm to the lofty position which he now holds. He knows well the value of a good education as he is a graduate of the venerable St. John s College, and has taught school in Wicomico County since his graduation in 1898. As a minister of the gospel he has no superiors for he has been administering the precepts of the divine doctrine to the High School heathen for three consecutive years. As a foot ball player he stands unÂŹ rivaled. During his attendance at college, he made a goal kick, and sad to relate he badly bent his âunderÂŹ standing. He went to the village blacksmith and made a beautiful speech to him requesting that he apply his mechanical ingenuity to his disfigured members, but the blacksmith, in all sympathy decided, that it would be useless to attempt this and advised him to take a special car to Johnâs Hopkins Hospital as he thought an amputation would be necessary. This advice, by the way, has not been taken. 92 VIRGIL FREENY WARD. iiâgil Freeny arc! was born among the forests of Mango, the date is uncertain but the best authorities give it as sometime in the first half of the past century. From earliest childhood he has been a mathematical genius. At a very tender age he calculated by experiment the cubical contents of a cylinderical snuff-box and also the capacity of one of the ditches in which that neighborhood abounds. In June 1899 the subject of this sketch graduated at Washington College, Chestertown, Md., which venerable institution, according to his reckoning, he entered twenty years beÂŹ fore his graduation. After graduating lie taught school at Fisherville, Va., for one year. In Setember 1900 he entered upon school duties at Delmar, Md., and in the fall of 1901 was made principal of the Bishopville High School, which position he held for one year. In September 1902, unhappy day! (for us) he came to the High School and since then has been the terror of all who dislike study, for without his class room door is the unwritten signâWho enters here leaves hope behind. We, the class of â01 hope to leave him so that the classes for some years to come may enjoy as we have enjoyed (?) the instructions of this mightyâhe stands but five feet, four inches in his stockings, member of the faculty. FRANKLIN GRANT GOSLEE. Although the âGoslinâ was country bred and thought of teaching school as the last thing in the world that he would ever do, yet when he grew to be quite large, more ambitious notions entered his head. So, in 1895, after studying a few things which fitted him for teaching, he became teacher of Hebron school, which is near his home and in the summer ofâ03 he took a Post-graduate course at Harvard University. From that time his wings grew and grew until in the fall they became too large to be confined in that building. So, with a single Hap of his wings he soared into the air, and never stopped until, with a swoop, he entered the west end of the Salisbury High School. Here lie has wandered at large ever since. The âGoslinâ will Grant a thing if he âseesâ it. He has now become so large that it takes a very strong chair to hold him up. We have no other bird, not even the Hawks who can sing his praises as well as the âGoslinâ himself. This funny bird lias a perpetual smile on his serene countenance. What more is to be exÂŹ pected of a goose? Notwithstanding his peculiar traits this big fellow has won his way to the hearts of many pupils. Not. by his good looks, his flying, his singing, or his perpetual smiles, but by ' his untiring patience, liis good explanations, and his strict integrity. Xot paid for 03 EDWARD BISHOP HAWKS. Ldw ard Bishop Hawks The Hawk , as lie is commonly known to all his pupils, escaped from his cage in a back wood settlements of New York State in the fall of 1903. In accordance with the general rule of his feathered tribe, as cold weather was fast approaching, his natural instincts forced him to go south in search of a warmer clime, and a place where he could find his prey more easily. He tlew along over the rolling hills of the Keystone State, beheld with his piercing eye many historic scenes but not a bird of prey anywhere. On and on he flew over the sandy plains of the Blue Hen State until he crossed over into the Old Line State where he saw fowl in great abundance that would make a sweet morsel for his gnawing appetite. Together now his wings lie drew, Like a dart through the air he flew Until he perched with graceful air Upon the High School standing there. He surely must his wings have broke, For, ever since heâs been a croak, And as a croak will sometimes do 44 He rips us upâ till black and blue. So with these compliments most true, We now bid him a last adieu, And trust that he will go back home When the summer days again have come. APPRECIATION OF ADVERTISING PATRONS. We, the Board of Editors, desire to extend our sincere thanks to those of our friends, both within and without Salisbury who have advertised upon the pages of this book. In the case of colleges, we hope the num- her of students will be increased thereby; in the case of tradesmen, we hope their business will be enlarged and all around we trust that profits will be gained. We earnestly re |uest the students and friends of our school to patronize them who have so materially aided us iu our efforts to produce thisâthe first year book of the Salisbury High School. 1)4 A Tale Of âA New Teacher.â ever ;m T n 1,e :r d ° f 8Ch0t l t r cher8 ' Vhich are doubtless unÂŁit t0 be told again but as everybody who has sokn a , f m eU ° WU ° scho ° lt; hink that there cannot be anything too bad said of this secluded, ft? ; , ?

Âź Pe i deStined toeml,ark l )0n his lo g and weary journey by a very peculiar c dence. One of the High School teachers, being called away from his class to attend to some other school matters, requested one of the students, who had said that he understood his lesson âsehr gutâ to go to the mart iU i exp am to the others of the class, who did not know as much about the lesson as he â thought he Z â n 6 :? C i r aCC ° rd ' n , glj d61,arted a,ld the P ,l P n hesitated t0 go 0 the board as he was not accustomed le in es o caching if there are anyâbut he soon found that excuses were not acceptable, that, since he was requested to explain it he should.Jeave no sod unturned. So driven to ; his end he went to the board and after blushing violently several times he began talking to the blackboard, I suppose as he was looking toward It, nit a blight, student who reads peoplesâ hearts by looking in their eyes spoke out, âMr.â,turn around so hat we can see what you are saying.â The students now thought they had their teacher dumb-struck with em .ara ment, but, by some means, which we are unable to tell, he turned around and answered them. âą TT f ° r Ca 1Dg ly attentl0n t0 the f;ict and please hereafter donât hesitate to call my attention to any mistake that you see me make.â From this he proceeded to explain the lesson, and at first thev were told to urn to page-and then to page-,close their book and that he would put the example on the board, which he ( id y looking m the back of the book and finding the answer and putting it down on the board. Now he had the answer he was 0 K., as he knew just what he was working for, and he told the student to put down some unheard of thing and place a prefix before that, and they would have something which thev could easily see would be equal to the answer. But he had used the word prefix and this was the next thing to be explained as a few of the pupils plead ignorance as to the meaning of that word, so he told them that a prefix was something p aeed .efore a fix, but we think that this bright answer originated from some higher source than in that teach 95 er s brain. His explanation of the problem was not readily understood, so he told them to please turn to the page to yhich he formerly referred them and they would please find the rule bv which he had pleased to derive his answer. The question was now asked what to do if no answers were given, and they were instructed to tell their teacher that they had fallen asleep before they pleased to do , and they would in all probabilities âcome off easy. They seemed to understand it now very well, excepting a few, who did not seem to have received the full strength of his instructions, so the new teacher told them that if they did not understand it to please say so and he would willingly repeat what he had said and furthermore, that it would be no disgrace to say that they did not know anything, and a little while after he had taken his seat, wet with perspiration from his hard task, the real teacher came in. AVe do not know where the new taecher had learned to use âpleaseâ so much, and with such freedom, but it is only natural to suppose that he had picked it up by hearing some of the teachers say it and because he thought it was so much better than anything else that he had ever heard them say, he had committed it to memory, however it may be, this was what he said, and the new teacher is now very hoarse, having taken cold from cooling off after this great effort to make his thought understood clearly. After all this condemnation of the life and lawlessness of the farlorn bachelors, it is, in conclesion, to be hoped that their lives may continue to glide on like rivers that water the woodland, refreshing everv root and branch that is within their reach, with stores of valuable knowledge, ond also might it well he said to the students of 1904 that when the last purple tints of sunlight have faded from the western sky like snow flakes in a gentle stream on the day that brings them to commencement night, and when the last sad farewell is spokÂŹ en to those dear old teachers, which had formerly been so heartily condemned, causing the tears to ' ] llow down their burning cheeiks like mercury from a broken thermometer tube, that then all the little jealousies that have been created during our past few years at school will vanish like the ghost of Bauguo, and we will all join in saying with tears of gratude. That of all the beautiful pictures That hang on Memoryâs wall, The one of the dear old teachers Seemeth the best of all. 90 Personal Characlerislics of the Graduates. NAME.

I Ik time i - not remote when we, of the Salisbury High School who are so near our graduation will no longer know each other as classmates, but be as separate laborers in the vineyard of life. A few more days of joy in the companionship of our dear classmates, and then our beloved teachers, who have been so kind to us battle 16 110 he,,) US ' n CVery liassil,Ie wa y wil1 help us for the last time and we then go forth to do lifeâs Ve have already launched our ship and are now emerging from the calm harbor and entering the boisterous s ea, where we will be thrown upon our own resources and compelled to make shift for ourselves. We are OutÂŹ ward bound. hen the faint liues of the shore are dimly seen, in all probabilities we will have some rough sailing and be almost swamped by the great billows of misfortune. But we are started and to retreat is impossible. Difficulties will arise which will seem harder to surmount than to climb the most perceptible mountain. But difficulties are sure to come and difficulties are advantageous. Be thankful for them, they will test your capabilities for resistance. If there were no storms an ordinary sailor would be able to manage the ship. If theie were no trials to try our patience and endurance, we would go down to our graves, ourselves and the world would not know what our capabilities really were. Life is a battle where everyone must struggle for himself. Difficulties are Godâs errands; and when we are sent upon them we should esteem them as a proof of His confidence, and prize it accordingly. If we allow ourselves to be overcome by the first drop, surely the swift current, which will follow in its wake, is sure to sweep us head-long before it, to utter ruin where all will be remorse. But if we seem to be in the depths where all hope is lost and despair prevails, be not discouraged. Live on the kingdom of hope, for it is a long lane that has no turning. And if we have the necessary requisites that make a noble character, these dicffiulties will be stepping stones to our success. If we wish to make a successful voyage, we must be alert and take advantage of every opportunity, and make the best of it. So never let one slip by, for the old proverb says: ââThe mill never grinds with the water that has passed.â Another requisite for success is perseverance. A school boy, who starts with a determination to win can hardly fail of his purpose. Temporary influence may be thrown in your path and make the object of your amÂŹ bition more difficult to attain but you are started right and will succeed. If you are the possessor of health, and the afore-named virtues, to fail is impossible; and you already see your star of fame. 98 Established in 1864, Sadler ' s Bryan t Stratton Business College is now entering upon its 40th year. f ihat its record has been successful is best attested by the thousands of young men who have gone forth from its halls to fill positions of honor and trust in all parts of the land.

Cypress in all its ages lias been considered the indestructible wood, and as such, to cover and protect other less durable woods. It is peculiar to the South Atlantic and Gulf States, Pocomoke river swamp, lying chiefly in WorÂŹ cester county, Maryland, being as far North as it seems to grow, and this for more than a century, furnished the principal supply of Cypress Shingles for the Eastern Shore Peninsula, trees growing to enormous size and great age, often a thousand years or more. This virgin growth of matured timber has been practically worked up many years ago, and supplies have been drawn from the Swamps of Virginia and Nortli Carolina, which are also being much depleted, and now Florida furnishes the principal supply of virgin growth Cypress. A younger growth, not ' fully matured, is being largely used but is of short last, compared with the old yellow heart which now comes from FlorÂŹ ida, where it grows to its greatest perfection,. It is a fact in nature that the durability of timber corresponds to its age, or the time it takes to grow and maÂŹ ture. Pine, for illustration, from an old growth fine grain matured tree, is much more durable than from a young tree, and so with Cypress and Cypress Shingles. And no inatter how much care you take in the selection of your materials for your building or how experienced or reliable your mechanics if you use inferior shingles you make a great mistake. The covering of a building is the most important part of the materials used in its construction. âThe weak estliuk is the strength of the chain,â and âThe poorest shingles determine the last of the roof.â And it is poor economy to run so great a risk of havÂŹ ing a leaky roof, to save such a trifling amount of money.
