THE MOTH 7 RUTHANNA FLICKINGER Flick. Glee Club '27, '28, '29, '30, Musical Comedy, Or- chestra, '27, '28, '29, '30, Poe Literary Society. We will now introduce you to Flick whom we can personify with one word- giggles Ruth- anna's giggle is famous because of its contagious nature. She starts alone, and before long, we are all giggling. If, perchance, you should see a pair riding down the road in a jumping Ford, do not be alarmed, it has only caught the contagious giggle. Ruthanna has endeared herself to everyone of us, during these four years, and whatever life-work she may take up, we all wish her success. . . OLIVE AG ATHA HAHN Hahnny. Athletics '27, '28, '29, '30, French Club, Orchestra '27. '28, '29, '30, Business Manager for Senior Play, Secretary of Class, '30, Eisteddfod. Hawthorne Literary Society. Silence is Golden. This quotation tits Agatha exactly. By practicing this, she has gained many friends during her high school career. We can easily say that Agatha is the girl athlete of our class. She possesses a great amount of athletic 'ability and takes part in all athletic events. Agatha has the reputation of being a good sport. She was business manager for the Senior Play and helped to make it a success. She has been taking part in the Eistedd- fod, both in orchestra and Glee Club. Agatha ex- pects to be a nurse. All these talents and character- istics should make her a good one. DOROTHY ALICE HAUGH. HDot.!! Athletic reporter of Flame '30, French Club, '29, Orchestra, Musical Comedy '27, '28, '29, Business Manager for Senior Play, '30, Literary Reporter, Eisteddfod. Hawthorne Literary Society fSecretaryl. A few minutes after the train pulls in, we always find Dot coming up the walk, with an enormous stack of books in her arm. This alone proves that Dot is very studious. On entering the study hall we find her with her nose stuck in a book. Not only is she studious and musical but also a loyal and faithful member of our class. It was Dorothy who managed the Senior Play, helping to make it a success. Also, s-he has gained many friends during her high school career. With her fine qualities, we are sure she will be successful in whatever she may do. JANE PATTERSON LONG Pat. Glee Club, '27, '28, '29, '30, Senior Play, Glee Club Reporter for Flame, Secretary of Class, '27, '28, Pianist, Business Manager of Musical Comedy, '30, French Club. Poe Literary Society. Where is she going? And what will she do? Only she knows! And that reminds us that Jane is one member of the Senior Class, who can really keep a secret. Jane has always served the high school faithfully as a pianist, being ever willing and able along this line. If you get stuck somewhere in Cicero, some time, just hunt up Jane, shc'll aid you, for she has been under the Latin instruction of Prolllessor Bready since her two years under Miss Knauff. STANLEY THOMAS LUTZ Buck. Glee Club, '27, '28, '29, '30, Soccer, '30, Basket Ba!l', '30, Boxing, '30, Senior Play, Honor Roll, Athletic Reporter, Musical Comedy, '27, '28, '29, '30. Poe Literary Society. Here we have the right-hand man to the faculty. Whenever there is an errand to run, a blind to adjust, a table- to carry, or the like, we hear wild cries of, Stanley! Stanley! During our first three years in High School, Stan- ley was immune to all wiles and artifices of the op- posite sex, but lately his eye has wandered in the direction of Harney. Nevertheless, Stanley is a most ambitious student. He shines in all his classes and is a favorite with classmates and teachers alike, because of his never- failing good humor and willingness to help in what- ever situation may arise. He is the one member of our class who can take part in all school activities, helping with whatever comes along and still be a leader in his class work. DELMAR EUGENE RIFFLE Santa Fe. Base Ball, Senior Play, Orchestra, Glee Club, Basket Ball, Soccer, Musical Comedy, Captain of Basket Ball. Hawthorne Literary Society. Santa has always been one of Taneytown's star athletes. Everyone realizes that it was Santa's ability that helped us to win many basket-ball and base-ball games. He is noted for his slowness, not, however, with the opposite sex. Santa Fe is the pianist of our class, he has filled the place as pian, ist for the orchestra. When Santa entered high school, he chose the Commercial Course and has made a success of it. We do not know what Santa is planning to do in the future, but we all join in wishing him success.

Joe, is one of our musical members. When he warbles a tune, it stays warbled. Joe, is famous for the number of nicknames he has acquired during his soiourn with us, among which are, Judge, Josephine, Pheney, Bake, Joseph, etc. Joe is our Champeene --in Book-keeping. Whenever any of us are having trouble with trial balances, or the like, he always proves to be our life-saver. No kidding though, Joe has endeared himself to all of us and has proved to be a true friend, in time of need. Whatever life work he may attempt, we are on the sidelines rooting for our Flaming Youth. MAURICE WILSON BECKER Bcck. Basket Ball '29, '30, Soccer Ball '27,'28,'29, '30, Musical Comedy '27, '28. '29, '30, Glee Club, Captain Base Ball Team '30, Hawthorne Literary Society. Beck, the star athletic of '30, will be long remem- bered in Taneytown High for his athletic ability. He is much admired by the opposite sex for his muscu- lar build. It takes a lot to discourage him, this has been proved by the way in which he has worked to get ahead in athletics. Of his studies, he excels in physics and proves himself capable in Manual Training. He is always ready to help where help is needed and has done a large part in the assembly programs. He has expressed a desire to be a mechanic, and we all feel sure that he will make good in this field. .l. JOHN EMORY CHENOWETH. Chenny. Glee Club '27, '28, '29, '30, Athletics '2'7,'28, '29, '30, Musical Comedy '27, '28, '29, '30, Senior Play, Eisteddfod fsoloistj '27, '29, Class President, '28, '29. Poe Literary Society fPresidentJ. He is the pride of the Boys' Athletic Association. In his four years oil' High School life he has always been a very able athletic, especially in his Senior year, when he participated in each and every sport sponsored. However, John did not allow athletics to take all of his time, for he has spent many hours in High School plays, acting the part of some leading char- acter. He has also often been called upon to help entertain with his rich tenor voice. With all of the extra activities, let us not forget John as a studious student. How can we, when each month found his name on the honor roll? ROBERT CLOUSHER CLINGAN. Nonie. Basket-hall, Base Ball, Soccer Ball, Musical Com- edy and Glee Club. Poe Literary Society. Now, look who's here! Yes, we all recognize Nonic as a good sport. He has also established a reputation for being the best all-around chauffer, driving with only one hand. Rober hates to leave High School this year, because that attractive brown- eyed Junior can't leave with him. Casting all jokes aside. Bobbie has achieved some serious activities, too. He is the famous history fan df the class of '30, and as for arguing, he can't be beat. We all hope Nome will not have any serious mishaps when he starts flying! ii RALPH GOLDSBOROUGH DAVIDSON. I-Iardy. Glee Club '26, '27, '28, '29, '30, Soccer '30, Boxing '30, Senior Play, Business Manager of Flame and Moth, President of Senior Class, Musical Comedy, Orchestra '27, '28, '29, '30, Athletics Cheer Leader, '30, Poe Literary Society. It is no use trying to express the inspiration Ralph has been to this Class of '30. When we look over his High School career, we find him partic- ipating in almost everything. He is the violinist of the school, and this year had the honor of being chosen to represent our school at the Eisteddfod. He did remarkably well in the Musical Comedy and Sen- ior Play. No one can question his ability as Presi- dent of the Senior Class, for which he has' always worked hard. We all sincerely wish him success in the chosen field of art. MARY ISABEL ELLIOT Izzy. Glee Club '27, '28, '29. '30, Musical Comedy, '27, '28, '29, '30, Senior Play, Declamation Contest, '27, '28, '29, '30, Editor'-in-Chief of Flame and The Moth '30, French Club, '29, Hit Ball, '30, Honor Roll, Class Reporter '27, '28, Class Historian. Hawthorne Literary Society fPresidentJ It is not necessary for us to introduce Mary Isa- bel, as she is our vocal soloist. We all feel that Mary Isabel has given much of her time and talent to The Flame in order to make it a success. Izzy tells us that she believes she'd like to be a nurse, but we think she should take up music be- cause of her talent along this line. In all, she is a good, true classmate, always work- ing for the good of the class and school. We are sure that we shall find her somewhere, some time, successful because of her life with T. H. S.

8 THE MOTH AMELIA VIRGINIA NULL. Null. Class Poetess, Declamation Contest '27, '28, Joke Editor of the Flame '30, Glee Club, Musical Comedy '28, '29, '30, Senior Play, Volley Ball, French Club '29, Hawthorne Literary Society. 0ne of the most jolly members olf the Senior class is Amelia. She has always been a faithful member of the class, and we are sure much of her success is due to her happy countenance. If ever you hear giggling in the hall, you may assure yourself that Amelia is not far off. She is studious, and yet, she can cheer you when you are sad, and make the most uninteresting mo-A ments seem very interesting. 'Ihese points mean much to a nurse, which occupation Amelia has de- cided to take up. She is a good sport as well as a loyal and true friend. She takes an active post in dram-aties, as well as athletics. As a nurse, we wish her the greatest success possible. .. LAURA MILDRED SHRINER Millie- Senior Play, Glee Club, '27, '28, '29, '30, Basket Ball, '30, Eisteddfod, Class Reporter, Volley Ball. Hawthorne Literary Society. Millie is very studious. She is the one member of our class who can always be depended upon to have her work completed. She can always be count- ed on to help one who is less fortunate. We hear that Millie is contemplating organizing a hikeing club and taking a walk to Walkersville. Mildred took the part of Sarah in the Senior Play and made a success of it. We do not know what Millie is planning to do, but we all wish her success in whatever line of work she may choose. .l. GLENN WA LTER SNYDER Snitter- Glee Club: Musical Comedy, Soccer Ball. Hawthorne Literary Society. If you should walk by the library during a study period or lunch hour, you would see Glenn in the library reading a good book. He is always up-to-date in his knowledge of Cur- rent Events. This he proves by always having a good answer for any question that should arise in The Problems of American Democracy. Glenn is a good sport, but he has a profound dis- like for the opposite sex. We do not know' his plans for the future, but we all feel sure he will make a success of whatever he undertakes. ETHEL PA I l LINE STONESIFER Kidd. Glee Club, '28, '29, '30, Senior Play, Musical Com- edy, Preliminary Declamation Contest, '29, '30, Vol- ley Ball. Poe Literary Society. Did you ever meet Pauline, known to her many friends as Kidd? She has taken the Commercial Course for four years and has succeeded in making the honor roll. Pauline took a humorous part in the Senior Play and made a success o-f it. She is always cheerful and claims she would never fight, if her scat-mate would not start the fuss first. Ask Pauline why she takes such a keen delight in hearing the letter g pronounced in short-hand. Kidd is a good sport, taking a special part' in Volley Ball. Her ambition is to become a private secretary, and we arc sure she will fill her position well. I-Iere's for her success in the business world. . CARROLL TROXELL Trox. Athletic Club, '30, Soccer and Base Ball Team, Stage Manager of Musical Comedy and of 'the Sen- ior Play, Eisteddfod '30. Poe Literary Society. Since Carroll's entrance to our school as a Senior from Emmitsburg, he has proved himself successful in athletics and class activities. A If tricks are played on teachers or fellow students, we are sure that Carroll has been around. Carroll, being a stage manager, of our two most important plays this year, proves that he has the ability to oversee. All that we can get out of Carroll, considering his future occupation, is that he doesn't want to work. Being able to manage well will take its place. CATHERINE ROMAINE VALENTINE. Pokey. Senior Play, Preliminary Declamation Contest '30, Basket Ball, '27, '28, '29, '30, Touch-down-pass Ball, '28, '29, '3O. Poe Literary Society fSecretary.l We need not introduce you to Pokey, for she has made for herself a reputation of being friendly to everyone. She has shown her aibility in athletics, being captain of the basket-ball and touch-down-pass ball teams. She took the part of Grace in the Senior Play and helped to make it a success. Pokey is inclined to be somewhat fickle, toward the oppo- site sex and: in regard to her :future career. She has not fully decided whether she would like to be a nurse or a stenographer. Whatever her choice may be, we wish her success.
