IRENE BIRELY This is Ed's double; where you see one you see both. She is quite unassuming, conscientious, friendly and reliable. Birely is indeed cast in heroic mold, with her queenly grace and dark hair she serves well as a Shakespearion heroine, especially at dances. When she starts to dance with anybody who thinks he can dance he just realizes how little he knows about it. To all outward appearances she is rather reserved, but appearances are sometimes deceiving, as many people have found out. She can talk for herself, and we are sure of her success as a nurse. IRENE BIRELY “Reney” Birely Identification; Middy blouse. Favorite literature: “Modern Etiquette. Ambition: Trained nurse. MARY RIDENOUR What do you mean? I can’t understand. Why? For questions Mary is the limit. She can ask more questions in half an hour than Daniel Webster could answer in a week. But this innocent looking senior is not so quiet as she looks. She is quite a sport and talker. She is often heard of going to Hagerstown to par- ties. but she never tells us about them. There was quite a large spot in her heart for I amp Meade.” but it is now traveling farther south. MARY IUBENOt’K Identification: Ball dresses. Favorite literature: Shakespeare's works. Ambition: To brighten the world at large.

Hoo-rah! Hoo-rah! Who are we? We are Seniors, can't you see? Where from ? Smithsburg High School, rah! rah! rah! Smithsburg High School, yah! yah! yah! A one, and a nine, and a plain 18! That’s it! Whew! 1918! So It came to pass that of the 15 that entered this land in 1914 only five will depart, for broad is the gate and wide is the way that leadeth to High School, and many enters; but straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leadeth to graduation, and few find it. They departed and each went a separate way.

jihhies » wk Hats off to this distinguished gingersnap! Lem is a very modest young man, always find- ing fault with everybody except one young lady. He is very fond of walking, as has been found by his many trips to Edgemont. He is making use of the highl y desirable qualities (obstinacy and contrariness) .which were willed to him by the class of 17, but with all his faults he is a very pleasant person to be about. l em is some “plain” geometry student. He expects to be at Washington, D. C.. this summer. He has his own personal reasons. Favorite literature: Barker’s almanac. Ambition: To get a girl with brains. EDNA KKETKINGEK 1 Don’t ( are” Slim, tall and —? Well, that’s Ed. She has been with 1918 from the very beginning. This little maiden is some dancer, as we all found out when we saw her dancing around our school room with Birely. She is a very active member of the Dodge Ball team, and becomes very ener- getic at times. She is very anxious about get- ting a (class) ring. We do not know what kind, but we suppose a diamond. Although she can be very attractive, she make3 herself very disa- greeable around the boys, for she is a regular man hater.” Ed really intends being a school marm, always with a bunch of hickory sticks under her arm. Our sympathy is extended to her students. EDNA KRETSIM.EK “Ed, “Kreta, “I Don’t ( are” Identification: “Reney.” Favorite literature: Anything but a love story. Ambition: Master of foreign languages.
