The commission consisted of Dr. Henry M. Fitz- hugh, President of the State Board of Education; Dr. Albert S. Cook, State Superintendent of Schools; William S. Gordy, Jr., State Comptroller; L. W. Gunby, President of the Board of Education of Wicomico County; Charles R. Disharoon, Orlando Harrison, and John B. Robins, Senators from Wicomico, Worcester and Somerset Counties respectively. The Com¬ mission was formally organized on July 28, 1922 by theelection of CharlesR. Disharoon as Chairman; William S. Gordy, Jr., Treasurer, and William J. Holloway, Secretary. In the General Construction Loan of 1922, there was included an item of $117,000 “for the purchase of land for the construction and equipment of a State Normal School to be located at Salisbury.” It accordingly be¬ came the duty of this Commission to carry out the expressed will of the Legislature by purchasing a site at Salisbury and initiating a building program. A site containing twenty-nine acres, ideally located near Salisbury, was purchased. Competent school architects were engaged to prepare plans and specifications. Following sound principles of school and resi¬ dence-hall architecture, they have, it is believed, evolved a group of build¬ ings which, when erected, will make it possible to do the work which the State has a right to expect of its normal schools. The school will be fire¬ proof throughout. The style of architecture followed, Maryland Colonial, has made it possible to present beautiful group of buildings practically under one roof. The Legislature of 1924 appropriated $205,000 for additional buildings to be expended by the State Board of Education who, with the State Su¬ perintendent of Schools, constitute the Board of Trustees of State Normal Schools. The Commission therefore went out of existence, after having rendered the State an incalculable service by its selection of an unusually good site and the initiation of a building program which will assure for the State a school of the highest type. The second appropriation was found sufficient to complete the north wing and the north connecting wing. The construction of the administration building, the auditorium-gymna¬ sium, and the south wing must be deferred until the General Assembly of 1927 provides the necessary funds. Salisbury, chosen by the General Assembly of 1922 as the location for the needed new teacher-training institution, is a modern, progressive little city, with cultured, refined people who will do their part to make life at the State Normal School pleasant and profitable. Situated at the junction of two railroads, at the head of navigation on the Wicomico River, with hard surfaced highways radiating in every direction, it is easily accessible from all parts of the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Its lakes and rivers give it a natural setting of rare beauty. Opportunities for boating, bath¬ ing, and fishing are right at hand. Maryland’s seaside resort, Ocean City, Page Seven EVERGREE N —1 9 2 6 is distant only an hour’s ride. Wilmington, Philadelphia, and Baltimore are in comfortable motoring distance. The Pennsylvania Railroad’s trunk line from New York to Norfolk and the South passes through Salisbury. The site selected by the Building Commission, a farm of nearly thirty acres just south of Salisbury, is ideal for the purpose. The grounds com¬ prise attractive lawns, ornamented with flowers, trees, shrubbery, and evergreens; playground areas, gardens, and an orchard. A distinctive feature is the athletic field, where training in all forms of sports will be given. The State Normal School at Salisbury has rooms for resident students on the second and third floors of each wing. The administration building, yet to be built, wil l have similar rooms on the third and fourth floors. Group baths and a student’s laundry are conveniently located, and each room will have a lavatory with hot and cold running water. Rooms accom¬ modate two students. Two of the best rooms are set aside for infirmary purposes, where necessary care can be given any student taken sick. Everything possible is done for the health, comfort, and happiness of the students in attendance. Their social, moral, and religious life is prop¬ erly supervised, and parents may entrust their sons and daughters to this school with every assurance they will receive the careful and sympathetic guidance of well-trained institutional directors. There is pressing need for elementary school teachers who know how to teach a rural school and who are content to live in the country. The Maryland State Normal School at Salisbury will attempt to meet this need. The course of study is designed to prepare teachers primarily for service in rural schools. At the same time there is sufficient differentiation to satisfy the demand for trained teachers for graded town or consolidated schools. All courses are conducted with a single aim in view, namely, the train¬ ing of high school graduates in the science and art of teaching. The cur¬ riculum is strictly professional from the outset, and conducted on a recog¬ nized collegiate level. It will include the acquisition of much new subject- matter along with preparation for classroom presentation. Graduates of the Maryland State Normal School at Salisbury can secure two years of college credit at some of the leading universities and teachers’ colleges. By completing the first two years of college work at this Normal School and teaching at least two years to fulfill the obligation to the State the ambitious teacher is in a position to win the B. S. degree in Education in two more years. A college education secured in this way will cost considerably less than if the entire four years are spent succes¬ sively at one institution. It should be noted also that college graduates trained in elementary education are scarce. In this field of education service the future offers joy, large opportunity, and adequate financial returns. It is in its plan for practice teaching also that the State Normal School at Salisbury takes a decided step forward. It is located within easy dis¬ tance of a well graded city system of public schools having a semi-annual system of promotion. Within a radius of seven miles from the normal school are more than a dozen typical one and two teacher rural schools, all on improved highways. As many of the town and country schools as needed are available for practice teaching. An understanding has been reac hed between the Board of Trustees of the State Normal School and Page Eight EVERGREE N —1 9 2 6 the Board of Education of Wicomico County whereby, under conditions mutually satisfactory, the local schools may be used as a laboratory for observation, demonstration, and practice teaching. Experience has proved that such a plan, if wisely administered, not only furnishes the teacher- training institution with the facilities it must have in order to do its work well, but it invariably provides a stimulus to a sane and steady growth in the professional insight, and professional skill of the entire teaching staff of the school system with which it co-operates. In addition to the local schools there has been provided, in conjunction with the normal school, an elementary school which exemplifies the best current practice in elementary school planning, and which will accommo¬ date seven grades in four classrooms. The teachers in this school are graduates of a teachers’ college, specialists in elementary education. For the first two years, or until the normal school is enlarged, two classrooms are devoted to the elementary school, one-half of the building being needed for normal school purposes. The plan of graded practice teaching is followed, the work proceeding through the several steps of observation, participation, group teaching, all under expert supervision. The school opened on September 7, 1925, with an enrollment of one hundred and five students. Mr. Holloway, Principal of the Maryland State Normal School at Sal¬ isbury, claims that no school can be deemed a successful school unless it has public sympathy and support. It may have the best teachers availa¬ ble; it may have the finest buildings that can be designed, with adequate equipment in every department; it is still not a success unless there is back of it an informed, responsible, participating public sentiment, anxious and willing to know what is going on in the school, assuming its proper share of the responsibility for its conduct, and partcipating, so far as it can helpfully do so, in its several activities. That this school, although only in its first year, has such community spirit is evidenced by the gifts which it has received from two of the leading fra¬ ternal bodies. On last Armistice Day, Chesapeake Royal Arch Chapter, No. 17, with elaborate ceremonies, unveiled a if the school a flag, flag staff and pedestal with bronze tablet in honor of the members of the Chapter who participated in the World War. On Lin¬ coln’s Birthday, the Wicomico Association, comprising five councils, of the Junior Order United American Mechanics, with beautiful and impressive exercises held in the school auditorium, presented to the school a lovely silk American flag and pedestal for use in the auditorium. This new State Normal School has begun its work auspiciously. It has already justified the faith of its sponsors by supplying a long felt need for higher educational facilities in this part of the State. A fine school spirit has developed, students seem to be happy and contented, and are engaging in their duties with commendable zeal. There is every prospect for greater usefulness and success in the future. Page Nine Page Ten E EE WILLIAM J. HOLLOWAY.

Purpose of School Young people in a democracy can aspire to no higher calling than the training of the youth for citizenship. Teaching is real service to the Republic. Nothing is nobler or more practical. There is need in the State for enthusiastic and well-trained teachers who will dedicate them¬ selves wholeheartedly to service in the schools to which they may be as¬ signed. There is need also for higher educational facilities in the lower part of the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula. The Maryland State Normal School at Salisblury is attempting to meet these needs. It has begun its work auspiciously. A fine school spirit has developed, students seem to be happy and contented, and are engaging in their duties with commendable zeal. There is every prospect for greater usefulness and success in the future. William J. Holloiuay. Page Eleven EVE RG REE N —1 9 2 6 EDNA M.

MISS ADDIE SMITH Cambridge, Maryland Died October 31, 1925 Page Twenty-Three EVERGREEN —1926 Class History Hazel Jenkins The history of the class of 1926 rightly goes back to the early years of the twentieth century. During that period thirty beings were born whose destiny it was to travel varied paths until kind fate brought those paths together at the doors of a newly completed building, the Maryland States Normal School at Salisbury, on September 7, 1925. Those beings, proud of their standing as seniors, looked back on ex¬ periences that differed widely. Many had had a few short years of teach¬ ing experience, and had studied at summer schools, while others had tasted their first of normal school work and play at another school, our sister school, at Towson. But their outlook was the same. They saw a field rich in opportunities where they could establish precedents, ideals, atti¬ tudes and traditions in a school where all was new, and the beginning of activity meant history. To that purpose, then, within a few weeks, senior initative became dedicated. At first the class was divided i nto two sections, Senior 1 and Senior II, which remained distinctly separate classes until the beginning of the second term. For a time the extra curricular activities of the two sec¬ tions were confined to parties which were a medium by which the members of the student body became better acquainted. Most noted among these was the party given by the senior to the junior class. The organization of classes, clubs, and societies followed close upon the heels of the first month of school work, and marked an epoch in school his¬ tory. These, particularly the literary societies, gave the vim and zest that only group competition can inspire. And members of the senior class were active in the formation and work of all the clubs. The latter part of the first part of the first term saw the institution of a different sort of organi¬ zation, the Student Council. This has been most helpful in avoiding the friction often caused between students and faculty by misunderstandings not brought to the attention of both factions concerned, and threshed on common ground. During November the seniors as part of the Children’s Literature work wrote Thanksgiving pageants to be presented by the pupils in the elementary school. The better one, “The Spirit of Thanksgiving,” written by Senior 1, was accepted and produced. Members of the class helped to train the groups and, also, to make many Thanksgiving activities, this marked the end of the first term, and the last of last minute tasks had to be hastily done. The week-end preceding Thanksgiving has been called “The Weepy-Week End” because of the frequency of tearful coun¬ tenances in the halls. Perhaps term tests played some part in the above. However, the last few days before the holiday cleared the skies, and the first term ended happily. The second term ushered the seniors into rural practice teaching for which they had been partially prepared by the directed room practice of the first term. Many a heart grew heavy, and many a mind grew tired at the innumerable tasks which seemed to pile up. Sufficient seatwork of educational merit seemed to be everybody’s main difficulty. A trip down the halls of the dormitory nearly always revealed some sort of educative seatwork in the making, and a trip into one of the rooms meant finding no Page Twenty-Four EVERGREE N —1 9 2 6 resting s pace because of the high piles of tag board, paste, paints, paper, and rulers promiscuously arrayed. But each student tried to be content and say happily “This will pass.” Thus with optimism the seniors saw the school sun rise on the third and last term of the scholastic year. Possibly the third term was the busiest of all the divisions of the school year. Yet it was not without its compensations. The Senior Prom lent joy and happiness to the beginning of the term. Summarizing cour¬ ses enabled us to see more clearly the field of work we had covered, and the goal so nearly within our reach. Pleasant memories of the work of the term, are those of the “Student Days” in the Literature class when we presented the result of our studies to the class, and the assembly program which gave senior poetic fancy a chance to express itself. Other memories will linger about the experiments of the ag riculture class. We have called them “Dirt Experiments,” because for the most part they gave us a fundamental knowledge of soils. Other classes, too, have been a source of valuable training and pleasurable experiences. We will remember particularly the most classes which made us friends of famous composers and their most beautiful compositions. Now the year is closing. We look back with pride on our achieve¬ ments, and regret that we have not been permitted the time to do more for our Alma Mater. A short time and the paths diverge once more; a last look and the intersection of those paths is but a memory. Time wings its endless flight, but history remains the record of the people. We will ever cheiish the bit of history we have helped to make, the history that makes us, the members of the first graduating class, one and inseparable with our school.

From a detailed study of the above data we have arrived at the follow¬ ing conclusions about the Seniors, that they: 1. Tend to have too many dates a week. 2. Tend to use too much powder and rouge. 3. Have a tendency to wear dresses too short. 4. Are too noisy when teacher leaves classroom. 5. Receive too many phone calls a week. 6. Receive too many telegrams a week. 7. Chew too much gum. 8. Tend to be under age. 9. Tend to be overweight. 10. Attend too many social functions. 11. Have lessons prepared—always. 12. Tend to be too miniature. B. In view of the above data we find the following correlations: 1. Influence and youth have a high positive correlation. 2. There is a correlation between age and dates of —99. 3. According to a similar study made of the faculty members we find that the correlations obtained here agree favorably to those of the students. C. Recommendations. 1. In view of the above data and correlations we make the following recommendations in regard to this group. (a) That normal school entrance be based on 14 years of age. (b) In view of the wide range of influence we recommend that those above normal be quiet until the others reach the stand¬ ard norm. (c) In view of the wide range of height, there seems to be no possible way of adjusting these “individual differences”. (d) In view of excessive phone rails, we recommend that a “loud speaker” radio be installed, provided that proper selection can be exercised in regard to the broadcasting station. (e) In order to offset the tendencv toward short dresses we re¬ commend that Paris send a cablegram that dresses are being worn ten inches from the floor. (f) In view of the fact that students have lessons poorly pre¬ pared, we recommend that the teachers give shorter assign¬ ments. (g) Since the Seniors have too many dates, we recommend that more boys attend the normal school. (h) In view of the fact that the above data could be much worse, we recommend that all the above seniors be graduated. —Windsor and Shockley. Page Twenty-Nine E V E KG RE E N —1 9 2 6 THE NATIONAL CONGRESS OF PROFESSIONAL WOMEN AND MOTHERS A Prophecy During our Senior year at Salisbury Normal School, we became in¬ terested in many conventions, which were held there and elsewhere. From some of our instructors we heard much of the National Educational Asso¬ ciation which met at Washington in February and of some of the famous speakers at that convention. Among those were: Charles H. Judd, Direc¬ tor of the School of Education at the University of Chicago, Illinois; Henry Suzzallo, President of the University of Washington, Seattle, Washington; John Dewey, Professor of Philosophy at Columbia University, New York City; Professor William H. Kilpatrick, Professor of Educational Philosophy at Teacher’s College, New York City. We enjoyed greatly the Parent-Teacher’s State Congress held in our school in April of that year, but neither of the conventions named can compare in importance with the National Congress of Professional Women and Mothers, held in the Salisbury Normal School in 1936. The personnel of this convention consisted of people interested not only in the work being done in colleges, but in all fields of education—education in its broadest sense. The general meetings were held in the large auditorium of the Salis¬ bury Normal School. But even this spacious building proved insufficient to accomodate the crowds who came from far and near to hear speakers of national and international renoun. The many members of the old class of ’26 who attended the convention were not surprised to learn that Anna Bell was the first speaker of the Con¬ gress. Anna still wore her sunny smile and from her popular lecture “Sup¬ ervision in the Home,” we learned that she was no longer a rural teacher, but was Mrs- The next name on the program was Miss Katherine Beatty. She be¬ came so hysterical when the chairman of the Congress announced her part in the program that she was unable to speak. But we learn through sobs and mutters that she was no longer a school teacher, but was supervisor of physical education in San Antonio, Texas. All the members of the Congress felt quite honored to have with them Miss Virginia Brown, instructor of dancing in Paris. Miss Brown attribut¬ ed her success to the knowledge she gained during the daily social hour at Salisbury Normal School, when dancing was the event of the social hour, and social hour the event of the day. Another person of great renoun who attended this Congress was Miss Helen Boyce. Miss Boyce gave an interesting talk at a luncheon held while the Congress was in session. She told us in her snappy way that a “Gale” had blown her West so she was now living on a cattle ranch in Wyoming. Birdie Louise Dennis held the audience spell bound by an excellent lecture entitled, “No Problems in the Ideal Rural Home.” Birdie told us that she had flown from her cage and was now leading an ideal rural life. On the evening of the second day members of the Congress were par¬ ticularly enthusiastic over a lecture by Miss Ortha Eley. Her subject was “The Value of Sandwiches and Tips in Modern Restaurants.” For her Page Thirty EV ERG REE N —1 9 2 6 knowledge in this important field of education she gave credit to her exper¬ ience in making and selling sandwiches to the dormitory students of Salis¬ bury Normal School, when she was a student there. The next speaker for that evening was Mrs. Elizabeth Parker who gave a very enlightening talk on “How to Teach Children of the Pre-School Age.” Her plan had been tried on her own children and had proved very successful. The members of the Congress were very much surprised that Miss Mil¬ dred Richardson was one of the entertainers of the second evening. We learned that she had ready for publication her third book,—“The Home Book of Verse for College Seniors”—from which she read many of her own and other delightful lyrics and sonnets. Miss Richardson attributed her success to the inspiration obtained in the Senior literature class of ’26. Another noted speaker was Miss Grace Thorne, who is now Presdent of the National League of Women Voters. Miss Thorne’s talk was enjoyed by all present, and her classmates congratulated her for her noble work. One of the most enjoyable entertainments of the convention was a con¬ cert given by Miss Della Maye Griffith. She is now a private music teacher in the famous “Gump” family. The Congress felt highly honored to have with them Miss Wilsie Grif¬ fin, the President of the Public Athletic League of Maryland. Miss Grif¬ fin’s lecture, “Physical Education the Center of the Curriculum,” was high ¬ ly appreciated by all. Miss Fayette Hearne, President of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, gave us a very inspiring talk on the “Function of the W. C. T. U. since 1930.” From this we gained much knowledge concerning the work of the organization and its wide-spread influence. On the evening of the third day a banquet was held in the new dining room of the Salisbury Normal School. Miss Tamsey Wheatley, President of the National Con¬ gress of Professional Women and Mothers, was the toast mistress. She gave a delightful speech and made a special request to hear from the mem¬ bers of the Salisbury Normal School class of ’26. The first called upon was the former Miss Jessie E. Wilkins. Among other things, Jessie told us that she was recently elected Secretary of the International Construction Company, with headquarters in New York. The next who responded to Miss Wheatley’s request was Miss Marg- gie West. Miss West gave us an interesting account of her work as a social leader in rural communities. She attributed much of her success to the knowledge she gained during her study of Rural Sociology at Salisbury Nor¬ mal School in 1926. Miss Mary Lang was present and told us that she was not teaching but was supervising in the kindergarten at “Russell’s Hall.” The next was Miss Hazel Jenkins, now a member of Ziegfield Follies. Miss Jenkins’timewas limited as she hadto leave very soon in her aeioplane for New York. Her special dance was at ten o’clock she said. We learn through table gossip that she was a worthy successor of Anne Pennington. Miss Jenkins told us that Miss Blanche Reid was in Hollywood working with the Paramount Pictures Company and she is expected to star soon in her new picture entitled “The Vampiest Vamp.” At this remark Miss West ex¬ claimed, “I’ll be among the first to see old Blanche.” All members of the class of ’26 present echoed her remark. Miss Helen Windsor next responded to a flattering introduction, by the Page Thirty-One V ERG REE N —1 9 2 6 toast mistress. Miss Windsor told us in her dignified and composed man¬ ner of her trip to Hawaii, and of her work there as superivsor of History in high school of Honolulu. She also told us that in December of last year she met our former class mate, Bly Owens, who was taking a wedding trip around the world with her second husband. The next speaker was Miss Catherine Watson. Catherine told us that the Barnes’ “School Management” had helped her to manage her school for the past ten years, and that next year she would apply similar principles in managing a home of the same name. Those present wished her happi¬ ness. The toast mistress then announced that the President of the National Educational Association, the main speaker for the evening, was unable to attend due to the severe illness of one of her children. To our surprise we found that the President of the National Educational Association whom w e heard called Mrs.-was none other than Mildred Taylor, our former classmate. Miss Wheatley, then read us a portion of a letter from Miss Henrietta Townsend, a member of the class of ’26, who was in Africa. The ex¬ tract read as follows: “I regret very much not to be able to attend the Congress of Professional Women and Mothers, but my work here in the Congo will retain me for another year. As I heal the fever-raked bodies of the poor natives, I take the utmost pleasure and pride in being able to tell them of the Almighty Spiritual Healer.” Her classmates wished her un¬ told success in this noble work. Miss Ana Smack, the President of the National Societies of Literary Societies, was the next speaker. Miss Smack gave the group some infor¬ mation concerning a few of the members of the class of 1926 who were unable to attend the Congress. She told us that Miss Clara Palmer, and Miss Dorothy Shockley were studying medicine at the Women’s Medical College in Philadelphia, and that Miss Mabel Rayne was a librraian in Har¬ vard University. Those present of the class of ’26 were exceedingly delighted to hear of Mabel, Dorothy and Clara of whom they had lost track, though they knew they were doing a worth-while work in the world. Miss Wheatley then told us that Miss Mildred Richards, a member of the class of ’26 was a fashion model for Lord and Taylor’s in New York. Following the banquet all the guests passed into the auditorium to hear a lecture by Miss Stella Hearn, entitled, “The Value of Freckles vs. Still¬ man’s Freckle Cream.” This lecture was indeed amusing for Stella was a product of beauty, from the use of Stillman Freckle Cream. After the banquet Miss Wheatley and many others were talking over the success of the Congress. Each pronounced it a success from the educa¬ tional point of view. “And was it not a happy coincidence that it should prove to be a reunion of the class of ’26 ?” said Miss Wheatley. “Twenty former members of the class have attended this greatest of all conventions, and we have heard indirectly from all of the others. That has helped make the convention a success for me.” Rebecca Willey Page Thirty-Two 11 III (I� v RG K 1 9 Anderson, Edwina Bailey, Nelda Banks, Helen Barnes, Louise Beauchamp, Lenna Bell, Linnie Bounds, Gladys Bounds, Lucille Brown, Minnie Clark, Katie Cohee, Louise Cordrey, Madeline Coleman, Clyde Dale, Annie Dashield, Winifred Donoway, Sadie Doughty, Theo Downs, Irwin Dryden, Dorothy Elliott, Phyllis Farlow, Etta Fisher, Mildred Gibbons, Gladys Gooden, Emma Gooden, Sara Gordy, Martha Hallam, Grace Hastings, Irene Hearne, Hilda Hillman, Elizabeth Hopkins, Betty Hopkins, Blanche Hudson, Elizabeth Hughes, Belva Ivins, May Jones, Anna Jones, May Kelly, Mary Lecates, Lena Livingston, Lola Matthews, Elizabeth Murray, Edna Nelson, Rebecca Ozman, Hazel Payne, Madeline Parker, Alice Pearson, Anna Pilchard, Lucille Powell, Florence Powell, Mabel Ragians, Vesta Reid, Lena Riley, Hilda Ring, Ruth Rounds, Elizabeth Scott, Louise Sheridan, Eudora Shockley, Bryan Shockley, Pearl Slaughter, Alma Smith, Mildred Smoot, Francis Sterling, Irma Stevens, Mildred Stewart, Margaret Sturgis, Mary Taylor, Ruth Tingle, Nelli s Truitt, Bertha Ward, Catherine Webster, Edna West, Mattie Young, Bessie Page Thirty-Three EVERGREE N —1 9 2 6 Junior Class Picture and Names From left to right in picture—Emma Gooden, Alma Slaughter, Mildred Stevens, Dorothy Dryden, Louise Scott, Mildred Smith, Mildred Dougherty, Eudora Sheridan, Elizabeth Rounds, Blanche Hopkins, Edwina Anderson, Mattie West, Madeline Payne, Elizabeth Matthews, Anna Dale, Lena Reid, Sara Gooden, Bertha Truitt, Mable Powell, Louise Cohee, Mae Jones, Anna Pearson, Gladys Gibbons, Sadie Donaway, Madeline Cordrey, Betty Hopkins, Anna Jones, Gladys Bounds, Hilda Riley, Ruth Taylor, Helen Banks, Hazel Ozman, Catherine Ward, Theo.

The seventy-seven members came from the rolling plains of Cecil to the muskrat marshes of Somerset. After the initiation, the class settled down and endavored to banish all high school characteristics. Mercy me! the juniors stood in awe of those seniors, until the “pie Beds” were made. Then, after sizing un each other, and the instructors as well, they became more acquainted with their new surroundings. In the course of a few weeks the class was organized, and Miss Wilson was chosen as faculty ad¬ visor. It has been partly through her skill and ingenuity that they have emerged full fledged juniors. The class was divided into three sections and soon it was whispered through the institutional halls that one of these divisions would start its practice teaching. How the Junior I’s were puffed up with pride when it was known that they were the favored ones. They didn’t know whether it were their charming personality, their prolific brains, their good looks or just what it was that won them that honored position. However they now feel that the joke has turned and they are the unlucky ones. One con¬ solation though, the other juniors will get their dose in the course of time. The title, “Jolly Juniors,” may well be applied to the class of ’27, because of their hearty participation in the many pleasures. At the head of the list comes the first party and the trip to Ocean City. To many the ocean was delightful, because it was their first view of the broad At¬ lantic. The Young People’s Societies of the Episcopal and Methodist Episcopal churches helped to make the stay of the students enjoyable through their charming parties. The seniors showed their apprecia¬ tion for the juniors by entertaining them at a dance. The reverential spirit of Christmas was manifested by the lovely program conducted by the students with the assistance of Miss Powell. The main feature of this event was the lighted Christmas candle, which will be an annual cele¬ bration. Two of the largest social affairs were the birthday parties given to Mr. Holloway and to Miss Powell. But the crowning success was reach¬ ed with the Junior Prom. It was their first real dance, and the class felt deeply complimented when it was voted better than the senior’s annual dance. Thus the curtain drops on the first act of the juniors’ normal school life. May it rise next year to bring them added success and glory. Page Thirty-Six EVERGREE N —1 9 2 6 Junior Prom It was indeed the end of a perfect day when the last waltz was danced to the strains of “Home Sweet Home” at one o’clock on April ninth. The Junior “Prom,” one of the biggest events of the school year was carried out in a most successful manner. The Juniors had been making preparation for the event for several weeks, and they were anxiously awaiting it. The De Molay orchestra added greatly toward making the entire dance a success. One of the leading features of the evening was the Grand March which began the enjoyment of everyone present. The moonlight numbers also added to the pleasure of the dancers. Due to the efforts of the decorating committee, one would have hardly recognized the reading room. The class colors, blue and gold, stood out against a background of yellow roses and ferns. These colors combined with those of pretty clothes completed the scene. The honored members of the class and faculty which made up the receiving line were: Miss Lena Reid, Class President; Miss Bertha Truitt, Class Vice-President; Mr. William J. Holloway, Principal of the Salisbury Normal School; Miss Ida Belle Wilson, Class Advisor; Mrs. Alice D. Swan, Assistant Social Director. The Junior “Prom” was such a success that every loyal Junior should be proud of it. PRESENTATION OF FLAG AND FLAGSTAFF Page Thirty-Seven EV ERG REE N —1 9 2 6 Student Activities Page Thirty-Eight EVERGREE j Student Council A Student Council has been organized in the State Normal School. The purpose of the council is to co-operate with the faculty in making the plans to carry on the various activities relative to the success and interest of the institution. The student members were chosen by the student body. The selec¬ tion of which was chosen by a committee composed of the presidents of various organizations. The faculty members of the council were chosen by the faculty members. The basis of selection of the students were: scholarship, open-minded attitudes, ability to form and keep a decision, and general deportment of the individuals. The faculty members are: Mr. Thomas J. Caruthers and Miss Edna M. Marshall. The student members are: Misses Jessie E. Wilkins, president; Dorothy Dryden, vice-president; Grace Hallam, secretary; and Hazel Jen¬ kins and Irma Sterling. The activities of the organization have been as follows: organizing and suggesting rules and regulations for the contests between the Bag- lean and Carnean literary societies; recommendations as to the use of school colors; co-operation with the Town Council of the elementary school as to the care of the school grounds; regulations of the school store; ad¬ vice to the student body as to proper use of study hours; and attempts to meet the presented difficulties and problems of various student organiza¬ tions. Thus, we see that the council is not functioning as a “dictatorial organization,” but as a regulating and suggestive organization. Page Thirty-Nine EV ERG REE N —1 9 2 6 Little Junior With apologies to Alfred Tennyson. What did little Junior say, In Normal School the first day? “Let me teach,” said little Junior. “Senior, let me teach, I say.’ “Junior study a little longer, ’Till your little brain grows stronger.” So she studied a little longer, Hoping to teach some day. What did little Junior say In Normal School on Prom day? “Let us dance,” said little Junior. “Senior, let us dance, I say.” Junior, wait ’till you grow much stronger, Then you‘11 have to wait no longer.” So she waited a little longer, Hoping to dance some day. What did little Junior say In Normal School on field day? “Let me play,’ said little Junior. “Senior, let me play, I say.” “Junior, practice a little longer, ’Till your little arms are stronger,” Then you, too, can play some day. So, she tried a little longer. Hoping to win some day. What did little Juniors say In Normal School the last day? “We have worked, said little Juniors, “Seniors, we have worked, we say,’ ’ “You are Juniors now no longer, As Seniors now you are much stronger, So you’ll work just one year longer, Then you, too, will teach some day.” Page Forty EVE RGREE N —1 9 2 6 Carnean Society The growth of school spirit in the Salisbury Normal School resulted in the organization of two literary societies; namely: the Carneans and the Bagleans. The Carneans were named for the widely honored Miss Mabel Carney who has done so much in the field of rural education. By means of drawing slips of paper, the faculty members and the student body were divided to form the two societies. Following are the names of the Members: Mrs. Alice D. Swain Miss Harriet Fort Miss Ann H. Matthews Miss Josephine Weller Mr. Thomas Caruthers The members of the student body who will forever be able to boast of Carnean were as follows: Misses Katherine Beatty, Lenna Beauchamp, Helen Boyce, Minnie Brown, Katie Clark, Annie Dale, Winifred Dashiell, Sadie Donoway, Mildred Dougherty, Ortha Eley, Etta Farlow, Mildred Fisher, Gladys Gibbons, Emma Gooden, Sara Gooden, Martha Gordy, Wilsie Griffin, Della Maye Griffith, Grace Hallam, Fay Hearne, Hilda Hearne, Betty Hopkins, Blanche Hopkins, May Ivins, Lina Lecates, Eliza¬ beth Matthews, Edna Murray, Myrtle Nyquist, Bly Owens, Hazel Ozman, Clara Palmer, Madeline Payne, Anna Pearson, Florence Powell, Vesta Ragains, Mildred Richards, Hilda Riley, Dorothy Shockley, Alma Slaugh¬ ter, Mildred Smith, Irma Sterling, Mildred Stevens, Ruth Taylor, Grace Thorne, Henrietta Townsend, Katherine Watson, Edna Webster, Mar¬ guerite Wescott, Mattie West, Helen Windsor, Bessie Young, and Mr. Bryan Shockley. The first meeting of the Carnean Literary Society was called to order by Mr. Thomas Caruthers, temporary chairman, on November 19, 1925. A nominating committee was elected to select the various officers for the society. The report was made after due consideration and a special meeting called to choose the officers. Those persons chosen for this high responsibility were: President, Helen Windsor (Senior) ; Vice- president Bryan Shockley; Treasurer, Gladys Gibbons; Secretary, Mildred Stevens. Cheer Leaders, Katie Clark and Paul Wright, were also chosen to arouse enthusiasm and society spirit for the events that were to come. Although just in the growing stage, the Carneans were able to give a program for Christmas. Taxleaux were first given followed by readings from members of the society. Santa Claus was so pleased with the pro¬ gram rendered that he paid the Carneans a visit and gave them a real treat to show the true Christmas Spirit. January 8, 1926 proved to be a Red Letter day for the Carneans. The first event of importance was the reading of the Constitution by Miss Clara Palmer. The main feature of this was the fact that the Vice- president should become President at the end of each term and new mem¬ bers should be chosen for the other positions at the same time. After the adoption of these regulations, the colors of the society were decided upon; green and gold receiving the majority of votes. The last event of this meeting was a challenge by the Bagleans to a mock Athletic Meet which was voted upon and accepted by the Carneans whose score tied that of the Bagleans. The first of a series of contests between the two societies was later arranged and nothing was left undone to arouse the loyal co-opera- Page Forty-One EVE RGREE N —1 9 2 6 tion of all members. The first feature was a basketball game. After a hard struggle for the teams, the score was announced 9 to 16 in favor of the Carneans. A meeting of the society called in February brought to the Carneans the realization that they must again work hard to win a debate, the second of the contests with the Bagleans. Those who represented the Carneans were: Misses Myrtle Nyquist, Clara Palmer, and Edna Webster. They argued bravely to prove their points. The new term beginning March 5, brought to the Carneans a new president, Mr. Bryan Shockley. Other new members were also chosen who were: Vice-president, Grace Hallam; Treasurer, Vesta Ragains; Secretary, Bessie Young. The third contest between the societies was perhaps as enjoyable to the public as to the students themselves. The Carneans and Baglean mem¬ bers of the Dramatic Club decided to see which had the most “honest to goodness” dramatic ability according to the judges. They thus made a con¬ test out of it and rendered two plays to which everyone was invited. The Carneans gave “The Neighbors’ whose characters were taken as follows: Grandma_ Mis’ Diantha Abel __ Ezra Williams_ Peter_ Inez_ Mis’ Elmira Morgan . Mis’ Trot_ Mis’ Carry Ellsworth _Grace Hallam _Helen Windsor _Bryan Shockley _Ortha Eley _Irma Sterling _May Ivins _Annie Dale Elizabeth Matthews The Bagleans showed their skill in “The Dear Departed.” It remains to be seen who really carried away the honors, for both were considered very well rendered. The fourth contest took the form of story-telling. The Misses Mildred Smith and Mildred Stevenson worked hard to win the honors for the Car¬ neans. The last contest between the societies will be an oral and written spelling test. This will take place May 18, and will include all the members of both the Baglean and Carnean societies. Each one must get busy in order to be the brightest star in the spelling world. This will complete the contests and we will anxiously await the decision of the judges. Although this is the first year of the Carnean Literary Society much has been done to further its advancement. On April 22, a tree was planted on the campus and presented to the Maryland State Normal School at Salisbury as a symbol of the growing power of this society. Let us hope the Carnean Society will grow and flourish as the tree, spreading its influence over the lives of all its students in the years to come. Let us work hard and strive to make hte Carnean Literary Society worthy of the noble name it bears! Page Forty-Two 9 2 6 E V (jT R Baglean Society Spirit should be the keynote of any worth-while organization. This slogan has been adopted by the two literary societies of the Maryland State Normal School at Salisbury. The Baglean Society, in a spirit of friendly rivalry, is striving to surpass the Carneans in the point of spirit for the school. The society was named for Dr. William C. Bagley, who is one of the greatest educators of the country. The Bagleans feel greatly honored that Dr. Bagley will speak at the first commencement exercises of the State Normal School at Salisbury. The officers of the society are: President, Ana Marie Smack; Vice- President, Anna Jones; Secretary, Madeline Cordrey; Treasurer, Frances Smoot. The activities of the society this year have been numerous. It participated in the following contests against the Carneans: Basket Ball game, Debate, Story Telling, Play, and Spelling Match. The decisions will no t be known until commencement night. The Bagleans also enter¬ tained the Carneans at a mock athletic meet. As a part of the Arbor Day activity, the Bagleans planted a Cryptomeria Japonica, Lobbi tree to per¬ petuate its memory. Although we might not have won all the fame of the year, we do have as members of our society some very famous people: Miss Edna M. Marshall—the administrator. Miss Gladys E. Feidler—‘the musician. Miss Ida Belle Wilson—the historian. Miss Nancy Beyer—the artist. Miss Dorothy Doerr—the story teller. Miss Frances S. Lord—the ideal teacher. We can no better express it than: Give a cheer for Baglean Sing her praises high Reaching upward to a star That shall never die. May the star be honor, love, and knowledge. May it guide our footsteps true. O’er hill and plain By lake and lane Dear Baglean, Dear Bagleans We’re loyal to you. By DOROTHY DRYDEN.

Early in the school year the Young Woman’s Christian Association was organized in the Maryland State Normal School at Salisbury. It has had an influence in helping to create a homelike atmosphere for which this school has striven. It seems quite obvious that we should have this or¬ ganization because no school is complete without a Christian influence. The Y. W. C. A. conducts with the assistance of speakers from Salisbury Sunday evening vesper services. It also serves tea every Wed¬ nesday afternoon. In the activities of Arbor Day, the organization plant¬ ed a Chinese magnolia which the members hope will beautify the campus as the organization will beautify the lives of its members. Next year the Y. W. C. A. hopes to continue its present activities, and, also, to organize and conduct weekly Bible classes. Officers: Miss Ruth C.

Feidler, director of music. Regular rehearsals were held each week, and the Club soon possessed a repertoire of high type music. The members of the club review with pleasure the many out-of-town trips, and the local concerts. What a jolly group! How the old bus vibrated with enthusiastic songs as they journeyed to and from the nearby towns. The big project of the year was the Operetta “Polished Pebbles” which was given four nights, once in the Arcade Theatre at Salisbury, again in the Opera House at Crisfield, and later at Millington, and at Washington College in Chestertown. Space has not been afforded to jot down all the thrills and adventures. Sufficient to say, “Sho Echo” means a world of wonderful things to its members, and may they, as the originators of the club, make a wish for its continued success with each succeeding year.

Realizing the need of making a home here for the girls, the election of officers was held early in the year. The president, Miss Katherine Watson; the vice-president, Miss Eu- dora Sheridan; the secretary, Miss Anna Jones; and the treasurer, Miss Ortha Eley were elected to office. Since the election, the president and her cabinet have appointed committees to take charge of the social hour and the flag. Mail proctors have also been appointed. The work started this year will be carried on in the years to come. The organization meets twice a month. In these meetings, discussions are carried on about everything that will prove beneficial to the students and make them love this school as their second home. In these discussions, rules were made as they were needed. We started with no rules and now we have only a few, and those were made by the girls themselves. This year the main feature of the organization was the Christmas party. This party was very quiet and dignified. The girls came down the stairs, with unlighted candles, singing carols. They lighted their candles from a very large one which stood in the Music Room and then seated them¬ selves around the room. Every year from now on this time of the year will be set aside for the homecoming of the students who graduate from this school. On January the eighth, the Organization gave Mr. Holloway a birthday party. It also took part in helping the Faculty entertain Miss Powell, our social director, on her birthday. Perhaps the success of this Organization has not been noticed, but, if we can give the in-coming girls the same spirit as we have now, our greatest ambition has been fulfilled. EUDORA SHERIDAN Vice-president Page Forty-Eight Citizenship Club The Citzenship Club stands for everything which is loyal and upright in home, school, church, and state government. The aims of the club are four-fold; to cooperate with citizenship activities in the elementary school, to become acquainted with the machin¬ ery of government in state, county and town, to be able to discuss current affairs intelligently, and to affiliate with other Citizenship Clubs in the State. The big project of the year was a study of government following a questionaire, “Know Your Own County.” A Maryland Manual was used as a text book. The club visited the City Council of Salisbury, and there observed a part of the machinery of city government. This observation proved very beneficial. A trip was made to Baltimore to attend the conference of “Younger Voters”. Here many inspiring and helpful suggestions were received for the ensuing year. The members were also cordially entertained at the State House and the Naval Academy in Annapolis. This club, although small in numbers, has proved its worth and its members hope that the Citizenship Club will grow in value and strength in the coming year.

Page Forty-Nine RG RE E N 1 9 2 6 Country Life This club stands for just what its name implies. At the present moment the writer is tired from having gone on a hike given by this club. To be tired from taking physical exercise in the open air is something to be desired in this school where we study and study so much. But let us talk about the hike itself. The whole club, with some of the faculty members as guests, hiked to one of the most beautiful spots on the Wi¬ comico river, about a mile from the school. Then the party divided; some played ball, others went to explore the beauties of the woods, while the others sat along the bank and just looked, awed by the beauty all about them. And then what do you think happened? No, the bees didn’t get after them. Everybody became hungry at the same time, and oh such eats! “Weenies” and “kabobs” roasted before your eyes, and rolls, pickles, apples, bananas, cocoa, and marshmallows. After this, every¬ body sat very near to the river’s edge, singing and watching the sun sink behind the trees, and its golden path disappear from the surface of the waiter. Everybody came home glad that she was a member of the Country Life Club. Some of the activities of this club at its monthly meetings have been a spelling match, a discussion of the men and women who are im¬ portant in promoting better rural life conditions, and a spring programme consisting of lovely poems and songs. The words used in the spelling match were those common to country life and nature study. The girl’s ignorance of the words not only occasioned much laughter from those who Page Fifty knew the words and how they were spelled, but caused those who did not recognize them to see that there was much to be learned. The most important club activity of the year was the Arbor Day celebration. Through the initiation of this club the tree planting idea spread to other clubs, and as a result sixteen beautiful trees and shrubs were planted with much dignity on the campus. Perhaps most of the success of this club is due to its president, Miss Sara Gooden. She is a “peppy” young person and is discharging her duties as president of the largest club in the school in a very admirable way. She has had working with her as officers of the society Misses Mary Lang, vice-president; Elizabeth Parker, secretary, and Anna Bell, treasurer. The club has always considered it the best of fortune that Miss Marshall is its faculty advisor. Many plans are being made for the future. We feel sure that this club will never lose its important place in this school, and that it will grow as the trees which it caused to be planted on the campus will grow. Page Fifty-One Dramatic Club President: Rebecca Willey Vice-President: Mildred Richardson Treasurer: Martha Gordy Secretary: Mae Ivans Chairman of Program Committee: Eudora Sheridan If you want to join a club that is full of pep, and alive with the joy of life that comes from being endowed with initiative, good common sense, and just enough frivolity to allow a good time, see the receiving com¬ mittee of the Dramatic Club! ! ! ! ! We guarantee you will have no dis¬ appointments. The Club is one of the largest in the school, enjoying the membership of over half of the student body, and also that of three faculty members,— Miss Anne Matthews, Miss Ida Belle Wilson, and Mrs. Swan. To these faculty members the club owes much for the success it has realized this year. The Club participated in the Arbor Day celebration by planting two American Elm Trees on the campus. Besides the regular business meetings held once a month, a program that is sure to please everyone is submitted by a very able Program Committee. The biggest event of the year was the production of two one act plays—“The Dear Departed.” by Stanley Houghton, and “The Neighbors.” by Zona Gale. Under the direction of Miss Matthews, the Page Fifty-Two EVERGREE N —1 9 2 6 Baglean and Carnean members of the Dramatic Club staged these plays for the public with the greatest of success. The casts of both plays were as follows: THE DEAR DEPARTED Mrs. Slater_ Mrs. Jordan_ Henry Slater_ Ben Jordan _ Victoria Slater_ Abel Merryweather Rebecca Willey _Helen Banks Lucille Bounds Irwen Downes _Mary Lang . Blanche Reid Grandma_ Diantha Abel_ Ezra Williams_ Peter_ Inez_ Mis’ Elmira Moran _ Mis’ Trot_ Mis’ Carry Ellsworth THE NEIGHBORS _Grace Hallam _Helen Windsor _Bryan Shockley _Ortha Eley _Irma Sterling _May Ivans _Annie Dale Elizabeth Matthews Do you want to laugh? cry? or do some serious thinking?

Page Fifty-Three EVERGREE N—l 926 Athletics You can plainly s-e-e We have plenty of p-e-p Make it snappy, we’re all happy Yea, S. N. S. Yea. “Come and join us,” was the constant call of all the girls! Athletics are approaching. Everyone was glancing about to see who her side partner might be. “Volley Ball practice,” came from the voice of our athletic instructor, Miss Fort, and sure enough, there was practice. We practiced and practiced and practiced some more. When the time came to pick teams, we were informed that there would be an inter-class match. Every¬ one was knocking and trying as hard as she could to make the team. The final day came into view. The junior class team was on one side of the court and the senior on the other. The old ball was served. Back and forth with all of the swiftness of a bird it went. It seemed as though it would never drop. It finally did, and after many such trials, time was called, and oh! the junior won. With the close of the volley ball season there came into view a pros¬ pective basket ball team. Another inter-class game was scheduled. This time the seniors went over the top. Victorious! At this, everyone was full of enthusiasm for another game. A game between the two literary societies, the Carneans and Bagleans, was then played, the Carneans de¬ feating the Bagleans. Our final stretch was begun. We were going to try to accomplish a difficult feat. We were competing against Towson. Our idea was “Where there is a will there is a way.” Although we are new we have plenty of nerve. So the lucky six journeyed to Towson. “Oh! What a happy life” did they have although they were defeated. The fight for victory was clean and noble. Everyone was commended for being such an excellent sport, and invited to return next year. Next, year, ah! what pleasant thoughts. Perseverence and coopera¬ tion are going to make us as well as others know that we have a team of which to be proud. Pep up, girls, and think of the future. Page Fifty-Four 1.

Only two rooms, the primary room having the first, second and third grades, have been used this year. The enrollment for the present school term is sixty-one pupils coming from various sections of Salisbury and immediate outlying districts. The staff of the Elementary School consists of the Principal, who is also supervisor of practice and two grade critic teachers. The Elementary School is the laboratory of the Normal School. It is the place in which school activities are conducted, open to all for obser¬ vation and participation. In it the Normal School students are given the opportunity for seeing types of problems—problems of method discussed in theory classes, problems of discipline and other vital problems arising in any real school situation. The Elementary School takes part in many activities of the Normal School. The presentation of assemblies, the participation in special educational activities brings the Normal and Elementary Departments in vital contact. Page Fifty-Eight The Spirit of ’26 Rosy with visions of youth we stand At the gate of an untried life, Knowing naught of the great world’s pain, Naught of its toil and strife. But the weather is always fair to us, And cloudy times never may be For we’ve stored sunshine in our hearts, We’re the class of ’26 you see. And we’ll think of the old Normal School, And the faculty we had while there, How they helped and cheered us on again; When we wished to give up in dispair. So happily next year we’ll launch abroad, And the teaching profession we’ll try, For a teacher’s work is a noble work And ’26 will make it high! Sometimes the path will seem hard to tread, And we’ll flounder about in dismay When we know how carefully our work we planned And it failed to turn out that way. But we must learn the lesson taught In the difficult school of life; That the greatest heights are won with pain And victory is gained by strife. And when at last Success is ours And the highest heights we’ve won, The victors’ wreaths placed at our feet May it be—“Not Sunset but Dawn.” By MILDRED M. RICHARDSON Page Fifty-Nine EVERGREE N —1 9 2 6 School Songs Salisbury Normal, here’s to thee Hark how we sing thy name Long may thy songs of praises be And loud may we sing thy fame.
