CHARLES BOWERS And had I but one penny in the world, u Thou shouldst have it to buy gingerbread. Charles is a good scout. Generous to his last penny, excellant in music and Eng- lish, he not only sings well bit also holds his audience when he talks. We feel that nothing too good can be said about him. MILDRED BREHM A friend in need is a friend indeed. Steadfast, staunch, and true, are just three words that picture Mildred to us. outstanding in l1er commercial subjects, Mildred bids fair to land a worthwhile position in the commercial world. CHARLOTTE BROWN HENRIETTA BOWERS AKHENIV Sour, sweet or mixed. Hen's energy and enthusiasm come at intervals, her mood changes with the weather. On rainy days she is blue, dreamy, and silent, but when Apollo is driving his chariot through the skies Hen is spreading happiness, joy, and laughter through the halls of W. H, S. 'What sweet delight a quiet life affords. To us in our Junior year came Charlotte Brown, and lucky are we to have had her. Charlotte's curly head contains far more information than her soft tones and retir- ing manner will indicate. Charlotte is one of the favored tew who are able to walk through the busy hum and still preserve their aloofness. daintier sense. HARRY BOWMAN Not too sober, not too gay, But he's been a good fellow all the way. Harry is one of our A.A.A. Senior Pat- rolman. The possessor of a number of friends of both sexes, he is a member of The No Study Union, The Slide-Out-of-It Club, The Good Friend to Everybody Or- ganization,-a reglilar fraternity man. DOROTHY BROWN 'The hand of little employment hath a Dorothy, one of the more reticent and sedate members of our class, has moved through the four years of our hectic school life most calmly. Manifesting little inter- est in lessons or in any extra activities, Dorothy remains rather a mystery to our class. DORIS BREHM A very gentle heart and a good conscience. Doris has impressed us all by her strength of character and the firmness with which she stands for her conviction. We hate to part with our chum and we give her reluctantly into the hands of the world. May it appreciate her as much as we do. JOHN BROWN Love is something so divine. John atlixed his name to our Class Roll in the fall of '35 and has always been frank, honesig and sincere with his inti- mates as well as his other class mates. John has had many attacks of heart trouble and he feels now that the only cure for the disease will be a Carr all his own, W, ,,,, , W, , ,,l,..,.,,.-: -fii Www, . , Y .I

WILLIAM ACKLEY HBH!!! I hold the world but as a world- A stage where every man must play his part, And mine a BIG one. Bill does not care very much about studying the works of Shakespeare, but he believes that every man should play a part, and he hopes that his will be a big one. If there's a play he's in it. A voice -he has one. Personalityelie has IT. This is Bill in a nut shell. RUTH BEARD She who is good is happy. Winsome, dreamy and serene, describes our Ruth, who hailed from Mechanicsville in the Fall of '36, Iler smile lights up many at gloomy corner, and her kindly attitude has made her friends heither and yonder. LOUISE ALBAUGH Although she had much wit, She was very shy of using it. Sweet, shy, and sedate, but, neverthe- less, interesting to listen to and ready to , answer when others tag behind. RUTH BILLINGSLEA Her sweetness unmingled her manner refined. Ruth is the Senior Owl from head to tail feathers. Pretty, vivacious, peppy and prudish are all good epithets to use before Ruth. Student control, hall moni- tor, Editor ot' Owl, she has been largely responsible for the publications for two straight years. KATHRYN BARTOL Laughing the clouds away in playful scorn. Kathryn tmuch is contained in that nniuel-Wpleasant in disposition, high in intelligence, and excellent in scliol-arship, together with a love of fun. are phrases that go to describe a charming little girl whom we shall not soon forget. JOHN BIXLER The barnyard cock with lively din, Rings out thew call of mourn for him. Hack to the farm is .l0llIl'S slogan, and it is a farm too, we would have you know, and .Iohn is un experienced agricultural- ist. John has familarized himself with the economic problems of the farmer, and bids fair to become a leader of farm or- ganizations. HAZEL BEARD Music hath charm to soothe The troubled Breast. Musical, mischievous and mystrifing, Hazel has been for four years inseparably associated with VVestmiuster lli's music. Known throughout. the school for her piano ability, she's called when ever a pianist is needed. Hazel has also shown her talent in tlramatics.

i 2 S i l l i l . MARGARET BUCKINGHAM BUFFY To gladden those around And draw men from afar. Buffy's eyes reveal the dreams that are hidden in her soul. Her agile fingers make sweet music and her mind revels in much reading. Her aristocratic features proclaim her distain of the world. Her very self endears her to us. JACK CRANDELL Happy am l, from care I'm free, Silence is the ,perfected herald of J y We wonder if .lack is not another gen- ius, possibly another Shakespeare, for de- spite the fact that he is frequently absent for a week at a time, he knows more about the great bard upon his return to school than do-es any other member of the class. STERLING BYERS Reds Speak the speech I pray you. --Shakespeare. Sterling's words are filthy spoken. and his music rings through our halls. Regular in attendance and ready with his answers, especially in English, Sterling though somewhat retiring is certainly al- ways reliable and resourceful. MARY DITMAN Silence is the perfected herald of Joy. Despite the fact that at school Mary never speaks unless spoken to, we hear that she is the life of a party. She has much information at heir finger tips but she generally keeps it to herself. Her am- bition is unknown to us, we have an idea that she has plans aplenty in that pretty Brown head of hers. JOHN CALHOUN Jack Learning makes a man fit company for himself. Although John has been with us but one year he has become a well fledged mem- ber of Westminster High School's class of '37, Somewhat aloof in his manner, Jack, nevertheless, has made many good friends during his sojourn here. KENT DIXON Everyone likes a regular fellow Kent and baseball are synonymous terms. He is the class expert in the science of organized baseball. While hold- ing down his portion as shortstop on the team, Kent has shown his ability to give and take. W. H. Sfs team will be crippled when Kent leaves the diamond, PEYTON CARR Hpateil None but himself could be his parallel. As W. H, S.'s most outstanding athlete, Pate has starred in track events every since he was big enough to lift a foot. Be- ing of a friendly nature, Pate felt it necessary to treat soccer, basketball, and baseball each with the same considera- tion, JOHN DUTTERER Johnie Mingle a little folly with your wisdom. Charles Carroll High School conferred a favor upon us when she sent us Johnie. He is one of the few seniors who really know the meaning of an assignment. How- ever Jolmie has other interests beside those found in books. Just at present he is learning to drive his Chevy down the Bethel Road.
