TAPS 15 WINSTON BURNETT JENNINGS— “W'hat thou art we know not.” This smiling orb is a son of Water Mill and is one of the star athletes of S. H. S. Oh, and lately he has developed a taste of romantic moonlight. Altogether, he seems quite heavenly, don’t you think? Winston is now a polished man of the world, very different from the shy, wild thing of the woods that came here years ago. He is no dunce at studies, as witness his success- ful battles with Caeser, Cicero, Geometry and various other foes of the High School mind’s ease. We hope you make as many goals in the game of life as you have in football— not to mention points in basketball. ELIZABETH MARIE MANSBERGEF —“I laugh, for hope hath a happy plaice with me.” Reader, you are wrong! This is not a reproduction of one of the fair ladies of a Van Dyke painting; it is our own Lizzie, the famous Ima Lemon, writer of songs to the tune of the “Sheik,” and a well known character in these halls of learning. A year or so ago she had a serious heart attack, but we are glad to say she has recovered. One black mystery is attached to her, however. Hsst! What became of the souvenir you bought at the drug store in Washington? Not a woid or the jig is up, perfessor! We wish you all success, Elizabeth; in- deed we do. MILDRED TRUMAYNE MARSHALL— “She worketh diligently and knoweth not vain idleness.” Trumayne is a very quiet and indus- trious citizen of our community, doing all that she is supposed to do without the noise and ostentation of the rest of us. She is musically inclined, too, we hear, and may have other talents of which we know nothing. May you profit by them Classmate.

14 TAPS BESSIE FRANK— “A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the wisest men.” The real name of this person is Eliza- beth, but we didn’t put it down because nobody would have known it—we our- selves didn’t until a month agO'—anyhow, it’s too big and dignified a name for a small piece of humanity like this. Who ever saw Bessie when she was really angry, spitting and sputtering like “Sophy,” for instance? No one. Who ever saw her laugh with her pencil at her mouth? We did! Who says so? Everybody! She is another of our numerous brilliant stud- ents. Here’s hoping your “dainty little feet” carry you far! MiARY AUGUSTA HALSEY—“And there came a fair maid from a distant land!” We’re not as well acquainted with Au- gusta as with most of the other 23-ers, since she just started to come to our finishing school in January. Therefore, readers, we’re sorry to disappoint you. No, absolutely not. We cannot publish any scandal concerning h,er. Keep on reading, though; there are others to come whose slates are not so clean. Gusta is still another in our galaxy of academic stars, and moreover, her piano-playing is like the famed “music of the spheres.” Here’s to a demure good sport. (By the way, her dwelling is in Sagaponack, if that knowledge will help you out.) MARION ELEANOR HALSEY — “Like a circle ending never Does her tongue run on forever.” This beauty is variously referred to as Mary-Anne, Nela and Spika—0 yes, and as “my little dark-eyed girl.” Then too, she is an ex-Water Mill-ite, so her abilities are explained. She is one of the firm o “Nance and Nela,” a partnership some- times, or rather very many times, on the verge of dissolution, but having wjthin it an efTi|cient self-healing element. In English class she shines by means of her poetry and romantic prose, and in the Senior Room by ready speech. Ihe Class of ’23 hopes that there will never be a time when you cannot say “I’m glad that I’m glad that I’m glad...........”

16 TAPS GRETA LOUISE OSBORNE — “Whence is thy learning? Hath thy toil O’er books consumed the midnight oil?” Gaze long upon this honest countenance, friends, for to her hands is entrusted the care of all Senior funds. Moreover, she is the editor of this class book and is, like all (?) other mem'bers of this class of ’23, very studious. We hate to have to tell you that Greta is at times rather noisy. (For further information see Manager of Potomac Hotel, Washington, D. C.) Greta has one great failing—her weakness for magazine salesmen (one in particular). However, despite all bad qualities, the class of ’23 bids Greta heartiest washes for the successful career which it knows is in store for her. MARY AGNES SAKOWICZ— “The thing that goes the farthest Toward making life worth while, That costs the least and does the most, Is just a pleasant smile.” This is Mary, the sunny tempered, the good student, the sweet warbler of songs. A few more epithets might be added but we refrain. She is a great linguist, hav- ing taken Latin, Spanish and French, but fortunately is not very loquacious, or we might be overwhelmed. What more can we say than to you we have said? FRANK JOSEPH SCHUG—“A cool, hard man was he.” Frank Schug’s is the Countenance that you see herewith. Yes, reader, with much trouble and after many pursuits did we capture him, take him to the photograph- er’s, have him shot, and preserved so that you might have the pleasure of gazing upon his likeness. Frank is very popular, especially with the Freshmen girls, whom he amuses by telling-err, fairy stories, we shall say. He is a good student, too. In sooth, he is altogether a pleasant youth. Our parting wish is that you get along as well in the world as you have here, and your path will be smooth.
