Text from Pages 1 - 124 of the 1905 volume:

Volume ii ‘Preface The planet Jupiter is an object of surpassing interest to many astronomers, while others confine their observations to Mars, and still others to Venus. A striking feature is that, though seen in many phases, it always keeps the same face turned toward the great centre of the solar system. We, the class of 1905, who are so soon to take our de¬ parture from the beloved walls of our alma mater , choose rather to present to your at¬ tention a few of the phases of the life which we have lived as pupils of the Salisbury High School. We trust that we may always present the same face to the world, and may that face always be illumined by the reflected light of the training which we have received here. We trust, dear readers, that you will be charitable with your criticisms and see, as we see, the little incidents that mean so much to us as students. These in¬ cidents may or may not seem trivial to you, but we ask that you will at least bear pa¬ tiently with them as we have done with the ups and downs of this, our first literary effort. Some parents are so blinded by excessive fondness that they fail to see many faults in their children, while these faults are quickly seen by outside observers. So it is with us. We are so proud of our first literary attempt that we, too, are somewhat blind to its faults, although we know they are here, for every person has them and therefore every book must have some imperfections since nothing perfect can come from something im¬ perfect. As a novel is to please the reader, so is this volume for your entertainment and not, as a text-book, for your instruction. Hence we humbly beseech you not to censure too harshly this, the second volume of our “Tatler.” FROF. J. WALTtR HUFFINGTON, A. b Prof. 31.

SMITH First Grade Boys [ 13 ] The Salisbury High School IIIS school, as its name indicates, is located in the city of Salisbury. In addi¬ tion to its advantage to the city, it is as well a County High School; in this re¬ spect it differs from other schools of like grade in the State. At present, forty per cent.of its students are non-residents of Salisbury—coming from all sections of Wicomico County. The school is the outgrowth of the old Academy and had its first graduates in 1876 under the principal-ship of Prof. T. H. Williams. Since that time hun¬ dreds have gone out from its rooms into the various walks of life and most of them, we are proud to say, have tilled various positions of usefulness. 1 We have upon our list of alumni, preachers, teachers, bankers, merchants, mechanics, ' lawyers, doctors and farmers, all of whom are serving creditably their various avo¬ cations “By their fruits ye shall know them ” we say without egotism will well become the merit of this school from which the class of 05 hope soon to receive a diploma. We, upon the part of students, feel our responsibility in preserving the good name of our school from dishonor and shame, for we area part and parcel of the institution itself. While the teachers labor zealously for our welfare, while our worthy School Board and County Superintendent uphold the teachers and bend every energy to the improvement as well as the retention of its prestige, yet, if we as students feel no interest in our pros¬ pective Alma Mater, it cannot retain its position of usefulness in this section of the Old Line State. We think our student body is composed of ladies and gentlemen with all the mean¬ ing of these terms. Of course there are the little “deviltries” which one always expects in a large number of boys and girls, but, considered in their entirety, we congratulate ourselves upon the courteous manner and manly and womanly bearing of the pupils of Wicomico’s High School The growth of the school in numbers has been almost phenominal. It now is the largest in Maryland without Baltimore City and its register is being enlarged every year. We are happy in the thought that soon new quarters are to be occupied, for the new High School building is no longer a dream but a genuine reality. Its cost will be $15,000 and it will be located upon the banks of Lake Humphreys in a thriving part of the city Salisbury can well boast of her handsome public buildings then! THE SENIOR .

WOODCOCK Harky Co vington A dkins “Fatnt heart never won fair lady Harry is not the baby of our class by any means. Oh, no! We have always looked up to him as our tower of strength and bravery. Ilis business ability is worthy of note for he learned in the early days of the class that in a class of twenty-one of which three are boys there are eighteen girls. He was very bashful then but as there were six girls for every boy he found that he must run or talk and wisely decided to do the latter. From the day of his decision he rapidly developed into a ladies’ man. Of late we have begun to suspect that Harry is afraid of the dark. On several occasions at “ Board Meetings ” he would invariably pick out the girl who lived nearest to his home and say, “Hold on, I am going your way.” We are quite sure it was because he was afraid to go by himself (?) The young man, being quite an athlete, has been elected manager of both the foot-ball and baseball teams of the year ’04-’05. Rosa Lick Ellingsworth A faded flower once bright and fair Rosa is one of our most interesting classmates. She is renowned for several reasons. She continually wears a smile that wont come off and is frequently seen walking up and down the street with a six footer or, worse still, going to church with him. But her chief accomplish¬ ment is her constant attention upon the looking-glass which she guards like a soldier on duty, during recess and before and after school. Rosa has also a very fascinating nicknapie, “ Sis Rosey,” which suits her to a T. She her¬ self is very much attached to this name and is always re¬ minding us of our duty to use it in speaking to her and gives us a reason for so wishing “ cause they call me that at home, you know.” William Francis Fooks Music ' oh, how faint, how weak , Language fails before thy spell! “ Bill ” is the Athletic editor of our year book and in¬ dulges once in a while in athletics, (athletics on paper suit him better), for he says his feet are so bigthat it requires too great exertion to lift them in running and jumping. This is the least of his characteristics, for he stands un¬ rivaled as the tenor singer of the High School. One day he and another member of our class had “a spat ” after which the offended girl left him. It was then that we were so charmed by hearing him sing, “Comeback to me, sweetheart,” that we were not able to get our minds tixed on our lessons the remainder of the day. His favorite sport is teasing the girls but that is not a fault because he is one of those FOUR boys and they have no faults in the principal’s eyes. He possesses an abundance of good nature and is noted for having the sharpest knife in school and of course the girls all like him for it. [tt] Edna May Goslee There ' s nothing so becomes a maid As modest st it in ess and humility Edna is one of our little ones. She has four eyes and is exceedingly modest. She does not like to be teased about a certain young man in our class. There is only one thing about Edna that bothers the teachers, that is her voice. She has never been known to speak louder than the squeaking of a mouse when it is aimost neces¬ sary to speak as loud as a threshing machine to be heard above the clatter of the voices of ’ 07 , while in the room with that class. Judging from her neat appearance one would think that she has spent long hours of hard study before the looking glass. She expects to become a school “maim” so we have learned. If she does follow this honorable work she surely can direct her pupils aright if an example upon the part of the teacher plays any part in the direction for she usually gets 100-plus in deportment. We shall be charitable enough to say that she deserves it. Pauline Kenney Goslee “ Me thinks she seems no bigger than her head Although one of the smallest, according to bodily di¬ mensions, in our class, yet Pauline is what one would call a good student. Ever since sheentered the class in I903,her studious habits have been observed and indeed we think that is one of the causes of her diminutive size, not the whole cause however, for Pauline is also the youngest in our class and will have we hope a chance as “ tempos fu- gits ” to rise as high as some of the rest have done. This maiden is very staid and sedate and we firmly believe she was intended for a “ Bachelor Girl,” for if she ever looks at one of the sterner sex, it is because they hapj en to be in her line of vision to some other object. How Pauline can be so quiet in the midst of such “gabbling, giggling gir.s will ever be a great source of wonder, there being so few in the class who have that power. Viola Miriam Goslee Rise ! for the day is passing And you lie dreaming on Our class giant in size but not in intellect, as no girl in our class has ever been known to prove herself superior to “ Chess ” in that respect. She is known to her class¬ mates as “one of the Goslins ” Lately Viola has betn seen wearing a w ide band ring on the third finger of her left hand. We wonder what this can mean. She is one of our Nourishing young ladies especially does she flour¬ ish her hand as if to shoo a fly from her nose. But with all of her “ flourisliings ” (we do declare they are many) her disposition is good, and considering her early rising w r hich she must indulge in, in order to drive seven miles and be at school on time we believe she keeps as sweet tempered as one could under like circumstances. [is] Alice Causey Hili, ' Iier voice was ever soft. Gentle and low —an excellent thing in woman Alice, like May Powell, is one of the land-marks of our class for she has been in it since it began its honorable career in the first grade. She makes no attempt at dis¬ play of knowledge but when she is called upon in class is usually ready with a low but correct answer. We have only one charge to bring against her and that is we doubt her loyalty to Maryland but rather think many of her anxious thoughts are above Mason and Dixon’s line in a city known as Chester. Just why she allows her mind to wander into that section is not hard to imagine particu¬ larly if you could hear her give a description of one living there. “ Still water runs deep ” we are much of the opin¬ ion is verified in her case for while she does not say so much, yet we all realize she is thinking a great deal. Our advice to her is to bring her wandering thoughts and let them rest in our own Maryland. Hilda Howard “ Skipping all classes and chasing all around ITorvying all the teachers who will call me down Hilda has not been with us throughout our High School course. She entered this venerable institution in the fall of 1903. Before many days had passed we discovered that she possessed wonderful ability for getting into mis¬ chief and was always the one to be cai ght and rewarded by a “ bountiful blessing” from the teacher in whose room the offense was committed. Another of her accom¬ plishments was repairing the furniture in the Manual Training room. It seems strange but no sooner had she seated herself upon a stool that was somewhat weak than she had to regain her lost equilibrium and gather up the pieces of the stool which were scattered in different di¬ rections. After placing them in position, as “misery likes company.” she would innocently look on in the hope of seeing another unfortunate caught in her trap. Amid all her mishaps she has a sunny disposition and is one of the most popular girls In the class. Etiia May Jones ’ To follow foolish precedence , and wink With both my eyes is easier than t° think Ethais a down the river member of 05. Her home is upon the bank of the Wicomico and like another place upon the bank of another river is called Mt. Vernon. She is a hard worker and a close observer, particularly of the other sex. She has recently developed the desire for indulgence in the game of ball. Just how well she catches, we cannot say but she surely “ Nocks ” well and it seems she makes a safe hit occasionally. Ethais a popular girl in the school and her winning smile never fails to have its effect. She is so good in the relation of anecdotes many of which never occured, that the class chose her as historian. We will say, if her account is not correct, she shall not have it copyrighted. [191 Gertrude Kilua.m You knoiv There are moments where silence prolonged and unbroken, More expressive may be than all words ever spoken Just why Gertrude has never acquired the art of gab we will never be able to explain. Though she has been associated with a crowd of “ giggling girls ” for so long, she still has perfect control of her tongue and of those muscles of the face which excite laughter. (So unlike the rest of us.) The male sex seem to possess no attractions for this member of the class, consequently her brow is never clouded with th se worries that bother the “giddy ones.” Gertrude perhaps stands in a more favorable position with the teachers on account of her conduct and we be¬ lieve it would break her heart to injure, in any way, the feelings of any member of that August body, the Faculty. Ida Catharine McGrath “ Nothing is belter than wisdom Ida is one of our students from the country who has been with us during our High School career. She comes from the village of Fruitland, the land of the strawberry and blackberry and surely it does seem that the name of her community is in some way connected with her mind lor it is very fruitful as well as fertile. Her greatest fault is that she will never miss a lesson nor worry a teacher but probably her reason for that is that she expects to join the pedagogic circle after leaving the school and she fears her sins will find her out in years to come in her own schoolroom. Her precision is noticea¬ ble ; her attention in class is unpardonable, so attentive is she that she does not dare to move two seats down the aisle for fear she might fail to catch some half syllable. As to the boys she would never look at one unless by accident she sees a picture of one in a book and then she hurriedly closes the book to think of something more profitable. Olive Celeste Mitchell “ To, am with you always ' ' We now introduce to you one of the demure young ladies of our class. During the “Four Years of our Martyrdom ” there have been few times that she did not answer to roll-call, thereby setting us an example on punctuality. Now Olive has quite a liking for Astron¬ omy and would like to convince the class that the moon is the largest planet around which all the smaller ones re¬ volve ; but there is a difference of opinion and as she do s not often make mistakes of this kind, we will forgive her. She is usually very studious but in our last term became rather tired of Algebra and in some mysterious (?) way it disappeared. She made her way to the principal and with the most penitent expression imaginable said, “Mr. II - my book has gone through a hole in the wall.” (Of course she knew that we could not tear down the High School Building just yet and that she would likely be ex¬ cused. During our Junior year we decided that the class needed some one to care for the funds and elected Olive as treas¬ urer and this year elected her as one of the literary editors of the “ Tatler ” because of her ability along that line. [20] Harry Wai.ton Nock Maude Gresham Pope May Virginia Powell “ A blockhead rubs his thoughtless skull And thanks his stars he was not born a fool The arrival of a fourth boy in the Tenth Grade was quite an epoch in the history of this class. During our entire Junior year we had only three hoys and just ex¬ actly three of that number were shy of the Kir’s. Is there any wonder that the fair sex hailed with delight another on whom they could bestow their unrequited af¬ fections? Harry came to us in our Senior year with quite a good reputation at the school which he had left. lie delights in athletic sports and music. But oh dear! his music! Why will he persist in tormenting us with his untiring efforts along this line? Perhaps it is enjoyable by some (his audience excluded), but we are proud to number him as one of the 05 8 and feel sure that he will make a record for himself in life. “ Oh! 7cho would inhabit This bleak 7u or Id alone Maude, though quite advanced in years, has the knack of acting young and appearing very innocent. She is well known to have a pull with the Astronomy teacher and never knowingly does any thing to offend him (which can hardly ho said of all the rest of us). This young lady has a cquired the habit of being sleepy in school on Wednes¬ days, the cause of which we might guess (though we hate to speak of it.) Some one suggested the Tuesday evening lesson, but it surely cannot be. Maude has a wonderful capacity for Trigonometry and she inhales it to the fullest extent. While she has been with us her life has seemed one of pleasure and she appeared to enjoy what the world offered her. We fear our pleasant asso¬ ciation with her may soon be severed as it is rumored that she holds “ Stakes ” in a Southern city which will require her attention. When the Literary Societies of the S. H. S. were organ¬ ized she was elected president of the Longfellow Society. “ Would she but follow what her sex advise All things would prosper and the school gro7u wise May is one of the most attractive girls in our class. She possesses many attributes that go to make up a wo¬ man, the most important of which is the possession of a “ Will ” and very frequently her “ Will ” asserts himself so that she cannot govern him. She tries to curb and hold in check this attribute of the mind, alias a young man of 05, but she does not always succeed. We predict, however,that her government over this particular “Will” will improve as they grow older. May is a landmark of the class having been one of its members since it lirst entered the school (just how far back no one knows) and is a credit not only to her class but to the school, in fact any school might feel proud of her name upon its list of alumni. [21] Chester Smith Sheppard ' And still the wonder grew. How one small head could carry all he knew A Pittsvillian who emigrated to the Salisbury High School in 1902. And a rather unwelcome arrival he was to us for wc soon discovered that he was to become one of the shining lights of the class, as his head was bright inside as well as out-side. This joined to the desire he had for knowledge and with the determination to win has made him valedictorian of ’05. Chester has been always one of “ the model boys,” but perhaps it is well the year is nearing its close for we really saw him eating candy in school hours (but he did not tempt his classmates to do wrong) and has been known to smile three times a week if olives were passed around. One of his ambitions is to teach but we think lie would be moved out of his usual calm forever if he had to teach the Third Grade Boys,as the effects of teaching them one day lasted an entire week. He is also our class president. Elsie Lee Smith ’ God bless the man who first invented sleep ” Elsie Lee Smith is another favorite daughter of ’05 whose record in the school has been highly creditable. The word wi mg is not in her vocabulary and she sticks to the use of her own diction. Just what she expects to do after graduating no one has been able to learn but it is probable she will retire into the shades of privacy for a season after her years of strenous life m the school, for strenous it is here. She is a lover of monuments even if they are no higher than the fence. This fancy has begotten within her a great love for the ” Monumental” city and we verily believe she makes an idol if not a monument of one of its inhabi¬ tants. Rebecca Roycraft Smyth Behold a child , by nature ' s kindly laze Pleased with a rattle, tickled zvith a straw “ Things are not what they seem.” This may very ap¬ propriately be applied to Rebecca for one would not think, to see her so easily amused, that she had a head containing so much good sense. But we knew her capa¬ bilities therefore we elected her as one of the business managers of our ‘ Tatler,” and she has used not only her brains but a very nimble tongue for its success. Her favorite pastime is pressing bricks, except when she feels that she must stay after school some afternoon to worry the life out of a teacher, or to listen to the practicing of that body of nightingales, The Male Quartette. What is Rebeccas’ favorite tree? why the “ Laurel ” tree of course and we wonder why? Under the spreading Laurel ” tree Our Senior “ Smythe’ stands The Smyth, a great admirer she, Of those in Delaware’s lands. [ 22 ] Martha Katharine Toadvine “ She thinks loo much Such maids are dangerous Martha is one of the meek and lowly ones of ’05. Iler charming modesty and unaffected grace are really a puz¬ zle to most of us and we feared she was on the road to that happy (?) region, “Old Maidsville,” to avoid which she did not seem to care. Recently however her tactics have been changed, and from the great interest she manifests in the lower grades, particularly the eighth, she doubt¬ less will :n time recover from this indifference. She is remarkably fond of locating cities in various parts of the country, and can give information at a moments notice about the situation of Evan sville. She is one of the mu¬ sicians of ’05 as well as one of its good students. How¬ ever, the class is famous for these, so she is just one among the many of that noble band. Nina Grace Venables “ luingh and the wot Id laughs 7cith you Weep and you weep alone Nina is not given to tears if she were we think she would try to overcome it for it would be a very sad thought to her to travel through life alone. She is unselfish in her affec¬ tions sharing them equally between “company” and “ something to eat.” So fond is she of the latter that she has often been heard to declare, “ I’ll eat my hat,” a feat we have never seen demonstrated. She sometimes laughs. We suppose she is amused but others say it is because she has dimples. We are sur e that she possesses a goodly share of vanity but she never seems to take it as a com¬ pliment to be told that she has a bright head. We have a remembrance of one day when she was not moved upfront for talking but she said she had rather sit up front than die from not talking and we still enjoy the great opinions of a fertile mind. Myra Waller “ l ull many a flower is born to blush unseen And waste its sweetness on the desert air Myra is from the town with the biblical name, Ilebron, and whether there is something in a name or not she has very devout notions and very religious ideas. So pious has she become of late that she will not dance any more but the source of her piety here might be in the fact that one of the “ Big Four” of our class does not attend balls and his influence is so far reaching that it has enveloped her. Unlike that of the flower, the warm wave of color is very often seen to rise to her face. We are sure she is not aware of it, for her modesty is so great that she would not even allow herself to blush if she knew it. Myra is thoroughly conscientious in her work and be¬ lieves it pays to do right. She is kind and her kindness is having its effect upon the captain of the football team. [ 23 ] Margaret Smith Woodcock Fye! what a spendthrift she is of her longue! Margaret is a native of our little city. Ever since we have known her she has been of an inquiring mind audit has always been a puzzle to her why the art of perpetual motion could not be acquired, and determined that when she reached the High School she would make a special study of Physics to find out if she couldn’t invent some plan by which she could talk all of the time, and this plan she nearly accomplished much to the discomfiture of her hearers. But “ things are never so bad but that they might be worse,” for Margaret needed a few hours for sleep, hence her failure to carry out this, her long-cher¬ ished plan. She has shown quite a little talent for poetry and is the class prophetess and Alumni Editor of “The Tatler.” 124 ) il it IHciuorn OF OUR BELOVED CLASS-MATE Hugh F rancis Goslee 1885—1008 THE 9TH GRADER [ 27 ] Class of 1906 Motto : — Non palma sine labore.

Before considering the class this year, we should gaze backward over the road it has traveled This road has been a little rough but time and labor have brought us to where we are now. From its infancy, it has been a faithful and intelligent clas.s. When we were classed as sixth grade stu¬ dents, we were styled “angels” even by our elders; but few of the original number are left to tell the story of this period of its greatness, and these few deserve much praise. You may be sure we felt joyful when we came back to our school-rooms this year, for we were then junior, and you who have reached that stage in your life know what a feeling of pride comes to one when he thinks that he is nearing the time when he will no longer be “bossed” around by an upper classman. This year finds us with a class of seventeen girls and seven boys, the number being much diminished from that of last year’s class, for several of the boys have gone to the colleges (much to the disappointment of some of the girls) and a few of our class-mates have become “Ladies and Gentlemen of Leisure,” but we who are left are very proud of each other. It was one of our noted girls who introduced to the English tongue the saying “Thank Stars!” which is now used by the students of all the grades of our school. The girl with the Hashing eyes still commands great attention, but once, at least, this year, she must have lost all her power, for the teacher, while not under her spell, marked her ten off. Her eyes looked flashy after that, and if you had noticed very closely, you would have seen that they had a decided reddish hue. We can boast of having three more boys than the Senior class, and they are, we think, as brave as the Senior boys ever dared to be. We have also a distinguished pony rider, and although an excellent horseman, he came near being thrown one morning while crossing a Homan ditch. Our class, although not as good mathematicians as our fellow-students “ The Se¬ niors,” are said to be better linguists, and one of our German boys can often be heard saying, “ Du hist ein Dumme,” though not to himself, strange to say. Another characteristic of our class is giggling, and one of our girls suggested we should have a second motto; namely, “ We live to giggle.” Do lectures pay a great part in making one what he or she should be? If so, we will some time be model ladies and gentlemen; for from the beginning of the year we have had the benefit of famous lectures, the kind that makes a scholar feel his smallness in more ways than one, and which causes a feeling of “ O! were I a Senior ” in one’s heart. Now we are all striving to do our best this year, and are looking forward to the time when we shall have completed the curriculum of the Salisbury High School, and if we are thus so fortunate, may we leave behind us a name that will be not soon forgotten.

After a school year’s hard (?) work and a most welcome vacation, the fall of 1904 rolled round and we again entered our names upon the roll to resume our studies; but this time, one round more had been gained on the ladder. The beautiful harvests were over and the winter stores had been gathered in—and we were at school once more. Some few had fallen from our ranksand we knew we should see them there no more for “ coming events cast their shadows before.” Words cannot describe our feelings as we approached that noble seat of learning, for we were determined to make our class the most illustrious in the annals of the Sal¬ isbury High School. We are now classed as “ Silly Sophs”, but we have the consolationof thinking that some day we may be Juniors, then Seniors, and best of all. Graduates. The brilliancy of some minds among our number is unsurpassed; for example, one member of this honorable class was asked by our Latin Professor, “What is an optimist?” After considerable thought lie replied in a most dignified manner and with an air of in¬ telligence, “ Why, an optimist is one that examines the eyes.” Some firmly believe in the old adage, “When the cat’s away the mice will play”, and as a result of following the example of the mice, pay the penalty by occupying a conspicu¬ ous seat in the Math room. With grateful hearts we recall the untiring efforts of our faithful teachers, Miss Whitney and Messrs. Huffington, Goslee and Turne r, and feel sure when we have finished our school course and enter into the battle of life, that instruction received from them will be valuable in helping us win our victories.

EVERETT WILLIAMS CAREY WILLIAMS EVERETT H WILLIAMS RALPH WILLIAMS REESE WIMBROW History of Class of 1905. O N September first, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and four, there assembled in the halls of the Salisbury High School a band of comely lads and lasses who constituted the good, the honorable, the upright, the stu¬ dious (?) Seventh Grade of this institution. Comely were these cherbs to look upon—there were girls from twelve to sixteen (sweet, of course, the other part the historian cannot vouch for), girls with rosy cheeks and girls of calm demeanor, tall girls, short girls, large girls and small girls, girls of every size and every disposition. The boys were not comely but did possess some prospect of being men some time, especially after the hay-seeds had been combed away from their hair and they had used a little polish to make them presentable to the fairer ones. Well, we went to work (?). We did what we couldn’t very well get out of, and soon we found ourselves getting popular among the teachers, particularly with the principal, and, while the other classes “guyed” us occasionally as Freshmen, and said we were un¬ dignified, and applied many other adjections to us which the historian will not repeat, yet in behavior we earned the honor of being one of the best classes in the school, and. of course we are—that’s no joke. On Hallowe’en we gave a party which furnished the school with a library and the head of the school declared that we had done as much for the institution as any other grade had ever done. But there came a time in our career when there was weeping and wailing and gnaw¬ ing of tongues, for the august Faculty declared that certain of our members should de¬ part from us for a season to journey into a foreign land, which was the Sixth Grade. Despite the “ kicks”, these spirited youths took up their journey and their luggage (books) and went for the prescribed trip. They feil from the room above to that below and great was the fall thereof. After this, we gathered ourselves together and, after taking council one with an¬ other, declared, “Surely we had better go to work else we suffer the fate of our brethren and the same fall be ours.” This we did and most of us will be Eighth Grade Students next year. We have the word of the teachers for it. Our work is difficult with causa , causae; sentences illustrating the meaning of dema¬ gogue ; drawing polygons; diagraming sentenc. s four and a half miles long, more or less; describing the course of the blood: finding the cube root of an example containing live hundred and six figures; working out a problem in Algebra showing the percent, of sul¬ phur, salt petre, and charcoal in gunpowder (and who of us cares how much there is, so we get a little of this explosive for the 4th of July?); drawing a thirty-seven quart crate; writing a receipt for money we never had in our hands; answering questions in history; and telling who is President of the United States (just as if we didn’t know who “ Teddy ” is). With these and a hundred other things we get a gorge well nigh an over-gorge. But some think children’s heads are hollow ; and probably that is the commonly ac¬ cepted opinion in regard to 11 s, but we know, if nobody else does, that we are as brainy a set as ever graced a Seventh Grade room. The historian has refrained from telling of the little “ cases ” that naturally have sprung up in our midst. While none have been serious yet, they have been noticeable, and the most careless observer can frequently see the anxious look of a “ stripling ” of fourteen summers cast toward a maid of the same age. But boys will be boys, and girls are certain to be girls, so we can ' t squeal if these affairs do arise occasionally. Our class is honored by having as a member the captain of the base-ball team and of course we are all proud of him — why should we not be?—for “ Pete ” is all right. One day some of our boys followed a parade up town when they should have been in school, and came in late, almost out of breath, casting a shy glance at the principal; but you need not judge the dignity of our class by these circus-loving youths—they are few and far between. In conclusion, the historian will express the hope that all of us will be together next year and do the work assigned us as ladies and gentlemen and that finally we shall be use. fill men and women. [ 40 ] Alumni Association of S. H. S. T HE best method of judging the efficiency of any institution of learning is an ex¬ amination of the alumni of that school. What they do after receiving years of training, what use they make of their developed intellects are matters upon which a correct estimate of the school’s worth can be based We are fortunate in being able to present sketches of lives of our alumni from various avocations—alumni who are not exceptions but are only a few of the many hun¬ dreds who have gone out from the Salisbury High School to prove to the world that life is worth living. To the class of 1904 is due the honor of the publication of the first book of the kind in this school, hence we think it pardonable to state on the first page of this department of our “Tatler ” what this class of which we have very pleasant recollections is accomplish¬ ing in the world’s broad field. Emma Brewington—Teacher in public schools. Mary Colley— Book-keeper in Peoples’ National Bank. May Hill—Teacher in public schools. Nellie Lankford—Student at Peabody institute. Wilsie Lowe—Teacher in public schools. Clara Parker—Teacher in public schools Clara Powell—Teacher in public schools. Laura Wailes—At home. Eva Wimbrow—Operator at telephone central. J.

He entered the public schools of the city at an early age and graduated in 1803 from the High School under the priucipalship of Prof Thomas II. Williams. Immediately after graduation, he associated himself with the R., C. A. Ry. Co., being assigned to the superintendent ' s office in Salisbury. He soon proved his efficiency in the work and by close application to duty rose rapidly in position until now he holds the responsible place of paymaster of the R., C A. and M., D. A V. railroads and is con¬ sidered one of the most efficient gentlemen connected with these systems. Mr. Hooper is a man of line appearance and strong personality. He is amiable in disposition and courteous and polite in his bearing. IIis popularity is notable. As he is only a young man, we venture to predict a brilliant future for him. MISS OLA DAY Miss Ola Day is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Day, of this city. She was born at Harrington, Delaware, but very early in life she moved to Cambridge, Md., thence to Quantieo, in this county, from which place she came to Salisbury in 1894. She graduated with high class standing in 1898 from this school, which was then principaled by Prof. Harry R. Freeny. After graduation she pursued a business course at Peirce’s Business College, Philadelphia, from which institution she received a diplo¬ ma. Very soon after tier completion of the business course she was tendered a position in the postoffice here, which she most creditably fills. Miss Day is pleasing in appearance and attractive in manner and is very popular in social circles in Salisbury We are glad to number such ladies as alumni of the Salis¬ bury High School. JOHN H. DULANY. Mr. John Il.Dulany, one of the leading business men of the county, was reared in the village of Fruitlaml, this county He graduated in 1880 from the high school after which he spent one year at Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn.

After retiring from pedagogical labors, he was engaged in the commission business in Philadelphia with his brother—the firm trading as Dulany Bros. Here he remained a few years during which the firm handled great quantities of produce for farmers and grocers in this section. He retired from this connection to assume the management of Dulany A Sons’ mammoth business in Fruitland. In this capacity he is still serving and has proven his business ability by making the concern one of importance. Mr. Dulany married the daughter of the late Judge George W. Cathell and with his family resides in a pleasant home in his native village where he holds a high place in the esteem of his fellows. He is an official member of the M E. Church of Fruitland and is ever considered a safe man to follow in church affairs since all his acts tend toward improvement of the congregation and good of the church membership. In politics lie is a staunch Prohibitionist and is one of the state leaders of his party He has oft-times been his party’s nominee for State offices. Mr. Dulanv’s clever manner and easy address wins him friends wherever he is [ 42 ] known. Such as he add lustre to our school and we are pleased to point to him as one holding a diploma from this institution. PROF. J. FRED MESSICK. J.

Mr. Messick was considered one of the best students that has ever been gradua¬ ted from this school and his success in the pedagogical career has been marked. While at college he took an active part in all that pertained to the welfare of his institution, being engaged in Athletics, Y. M. C. A. service and Literary Society work. He is a member of the M E. Church (South) and has long been prominent in church work. Hjs ease of address and polished manner has been noted in whatever circle he has moved. His popularity as a young man has never waned.

These societies meet regularly every Friday afternoon from 3 to 4 o’clock in rooms reserved for their use in the building. While they are somewhat under the supervision of the teachers so far as instruction and criticism go,yet they are distinctly student bod¬ ies and have otlicers from their own numbers who are charged with the management of the organizations. Their work which consists of essay writing, declamation, recitation and debates has been very creditable, indeed. The benefit of such organizations in the scohool is already being felt so we predict for their second year’s existence abundant success. Bryant Literary Society PRESIDENT ALICE C.

WILLEMS [50] The Waste Basket Affair I On an afternoon of a certain day, When not a teacher was looking their way, II Two girls of a class, both WO.Vs, Decided to have “ the time of their lives.” III Spying a rafter so long and wide, They darted around a post to hide. IV And upon a stool they quickly stood Then tightly grasped the rafter of wood. V They were swinging up so very high When one ot them caught the teacher’s eye. VI He gave them a look never seen before When one dropped down upon the door. VII The other one did not spy the ” Hawke” Until too late—then she was caught. VIII She quickly jumped, not on the door, But in the waste-basket, dxed before IX By some naughty girls who wanted fun And didn’t realize what they had done, X Until the teacher came their way And sternly to the girls did say, XI “ This is to me a great surprise To think that girls who are lnu.Vs Should be so very undigniged.” XII Then they heard the recess bell, And all went out with a merry yell. XIII And the jolly girls thought little more Of the rafters, basket, or school-room door. |5l] XIV The reports came out in a week or so And the girls’ “ deportments ” were very low. XV Those mischievous two were horrified, For their marks from a hundred departed wide, XVI And quickly to the teacher went Plainly asking him what he meant. XVII We have always been so good, you see, We are very certain it can not be. XVIII Why, Iloly Horrors! Sakes Alive! We’ve never gotten eighty five! XIX The teacher smiled and shook his head And to the girls he sweetly (?) said, XX “ I am not as green as I look to be; If you impose on others, you can’t on me. XXI You swung on the rafters, you were caught you know So that’s the reason your ‘deportments ’ are low. XXII You have only gotten your just desert So in the future be on the alert.” XXIII They hung their heads and went their way Determined from that very day XXIV Never to break a single rule While pupils of the Salisbury School. A Course In Correspondence. T IIK High School in addition to its resident work has added a correspondence course to its regular curriculum. This move has been made (piite independent of the teachers. School Board or State Board of Education. The students are at the luck of it all, and, from results, it would seem that the course is progressing admirably. The chief patrons of the course are students at the various colleges in our land, who. at some time, were students of the Iligh-School or, at least knew its pupils and were impressed thereby with the aid they might receive by coming into touch with the school. The course’s strong point is that it makes everything so very interesting, which is the reason that so many are desirous of taking it. All correspondence falls into the hands of certain young ladies of the ninth and tenth grades. While they never mark the mistakes for fear of offence to the student and his withdrawal from the course, yet they do send back a letter telling him just how the lesson should be worked out, etc, etc. The students in this course are so appreciative too, for very soon they forward an other lesson, with an epistle of ten pages thanking the dear corrector for kind advice, and declaring their purpose not only to follow her advice but to follow her withersoever she leadeth. Diplomas are awarded when the old folks are ready to sign them. I ' l e Senior Orations O NE bright Friday afternoon in November, Mr.IIuffington requested the would-be dignitied Seniors of th; school to meet him for a few minutes after school, and of course, like the guilty culprits they are and feeling the force of the declara¬ tion of the Holy Writ, “Be sure your sins will find you out,” they all began to suspect a free lecture for some misdeed which they doubtless knew they were guilty of but had hoped to keep from the eyes of the teachers. Ah ! ye grave (?) ye reverend (?) Seniors, war it in sol l ten Sie das thun als Sie kennen mussen dasz die Lehrer das lernen warden At last we, the undergraduates, saw them come troooping out and heard one say to another, “ When does yours come? ” “ When yours ? ” “ When yours? ” One would have thought from the number of questions asked and the concern manifested that the grade was to make peace between Japan and Russia or perform some like task. But we found the key to the whole matter and that to our sorrow. For two whole months three times each week thereof, we were to be bored in the assembly by an apology or a “stab ” at an oration from each member of this grade and one of the class very rev erently voiced the sentiment of the whole school when she said, “ Thank the Lord they are over.” When the last one had taken his seat we all felt like singing a Thanksgiving hymn, and beseeching the principal to Hog, to demerit, to do any old thing to us, but never thus punish us again with twenty-two pretences at elocution and oratory. Well, we saw we were “up against it,” so we shut our teeth ready to endure to the bitter end, when was made the announcement, “ We begin the Senior orations with an oration entitled ‘Obedience,’ by Miss Rosa Ellingsworth.” In obedience to the teacher’s command, Rosa arose. The subject was heard (the Herr Professor announced it) but that was all, f jr her voice was so low (not musical) that one would have thought the physiolo¬ gists had made a mistake, so far as she was concerned, as to the exact location of the vocal organs, for surely hers were about the soles of her feet instead of in the throat. Still we encored when she was through. Then came Olive who made a great display of the “Value of Knowledge.” Now we all know she is and has been a believer in the declaration of Bacon that “Knowledge is Power” without her giving us a great harangue about such a subject. Still, as we are all willing to drink from its fountain, we let her have her say. May’s subject was “ Determination.” She seemed to have imbibed her subject, as she looked quite determined while she was speaking. We have observed that her preach¬ ing was in accord with her practice as she seems to be “mighty sot” in some of her ways. She will learn better however as she grows older, at least we hope so. Alice in a few hundred words told us about a man named Nansen, who had the au¬ dacity to attempt a great exploit. We all wished he had attended to home affairs, long before she was through, and we have no doubt, he would if he had ever imagined that such a cursory account of his venture would be given by a high school student. Martha chose “The Discipline of Life.” It would seem that she could have handled more to her liking “The Discipline of a Fellow Student,” as her ability at keeping one 134 ] of the eighth grade boys in the straight and narrow way is simply marvelous. Children will be children so we wish her well. Elsie’s subject was “ A Break in the Rafter ” and verily did she stumble through that break. At least there was a fall somewhere and we suppose her rafter must have been defective. Our prayer is that she will have it mended before she speaks in public again. Gertrude seemed to have opinions on Home Life.” She must be trying to develop these by staying home so much. Judging by her frequent absence from school, she will have the whole thing perfected ere long. Home is a very delightful spot so we trust that some one will profit by her reasearch. Ida when looking for a torture for us chose “Independence Day.” The contrast was great—there we were held as slaves in the bonds of these wordy but little orations, while she was telling all about independence. We counted the minutes and made a guess how much longer we were to be in such bonds and glad we were, they were but few. Margaret Woodcock plagiarized upon poor old Noah Webster for “Happiness.” We wish to do that gentleman justice when we declare that if he had known that his work was to be such a source of annoyance to us he would have left that one word out of his dictionary. Well, Margaret is a sort of a happy-go-lucky person anyway so we could partially excuse her with the promise that she would never do so again. To Hilda we have to add that it would be well if she would learn for herself and not try to teach another the “True Dignity of Labor,” for it is a well established fact in this school that she does no more than she is absolutely obliged to do. One of the Seniors declared that the word love should not be found in this issue of the “ Tatler,” but that was before she knew Harry Nock would tell us how the boys should love the girls and the girls should reciprocate, etc, etc. IIis subject came nearer to the hearts of the pupils that any delivered for it was an every day affair and an intensely practical one; so we endured his effort with a better grace than any of the others. “ Socrates ” Sheppard poured out volumes upon “ Moral Courage.” We didn’t find the moral , but we confess he did display courage to punish us in such an inhuman manner. We know we are not as saintly as he nor quite as wise, yet we don’t choose that he shall stand up and dictate our course in ethics. We’ll do our own prescribing. Willie Fooks made a “hit ” by dwelling upon “The True Greatness of Man.” Cruel, cruel boy to leave out the woman, but we know his convictions are, that they may be great and he is not deceived for if we girls couldn’t give a greater oration, whether it were true or not, we would retire from the floor. Harry Adkins knows quite a little about “ Specialized Education,” or so he would have us believe, but he didn’t deceive us for we are not all verdant even if vvedohave several country students, and we knew lie was just trying to pretend all these things he was saying; but we didn’t bite “ worth a cent,” so we advise him to waste his breath in the future, not on specialized education, but a specialized girl of his class. Nina came forward with “Youthful Aspirations.” How she could remember so far back is more than we can even surmise, for she is so old her hair is turning — red We suppose her heart is going out for some youth, so used the word “aspirations” as appropriate for the occasion. To aspire we believe is very well, but to aspire for a youth is hardly worth while, at any rate, for one of her age. “The Sovereignty of Ideas,” by Rebecca Smyth (not Smith) won a prize (V). She even lost respect for the dead and pulled Cervantes out of his grave to make him subject to her Ideas. The little respect of some people for the ashes of the honored and learned fathers is positively shocking, and we sadly deplore this in one of our students; but the ninth grade can’t keep them all straight, so we needn’t worry if occasionally one grows rash. Viola attempted to pass the key of success when she stood before us with “The Secret of Greatness,” but in some way the key fell before reaching us and we haven’t yet found it. and, strange to tell, she couldn’t direct our search. It does seem that after such a display of knowledge (?) every student in the Salisbury schools ought to be great. Edna’s “ Voyage of Life ” was very calm indeed. We hope she enjoyed that par¬ ticular part of it, for we were getting a little sick and failed to appreciate that course. She neglected one very important part of the oration in that she made no arrangement for two to paddle out together, and it does appear that there are many “twos” in this school determined to so embark. Myra is a sweet soul, so we didn’t wonder at her trying “The Power of Kindness” on us, who were aboiit ready to revolt at this merciless treatment by her grade. In fact we expected her to attempt this as she tries kindness on every one (boy) she meets and occasionally specializes . Her words were the first balm for our wounded feelings that we had had for seven weeks, so we did appreciate her attempt to alleviate the suffering caused by the class of ’05. “Little Pauline” came up with that big word “independence”—not of country, but “ Independence of Character” instead of that more important subject “ Independence of Girlhood or Womanhood.” We can’t forgive her for making such a mistake in the subject for we feel the choice was a reckless one. However she is young and quite small so we trust for her improvement before attempting another speech. Maud’s “ Characteristics of Our Age ” must have cost her at least ten minutes thought. It is inconceivable how our age will bear so many burdens as she described without flying off at a tangent. Probably she reasoned that it would be “Staked” down; at any rate she would and the rest of this age could find its own “ Stake ’’just as she had found hers. Finally, Etha bethought herself of a great necessity for “ Female Education.” We had no objection to her thinking upon such a subject, but horrors! to have her give us the benefit of this three minutes’ thought was a hideous night-mare. Still, we are just, so will give her due praise for telling us one thing—that every girl should marry, if she could find a chance. So far, for this piece of knowledge we extend our heartfelt thanks. We always wish to learn and were quite ignorant of that truth. Thus endeth the chapter and with it almost ended the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. But we are thankful it was no worse, for it may have been four month’s suff er¬ ing instead of two, if so some of us would surely now be calmly resting beneath the sod with never a wave of trouble rolling across our peaceful breasts. A Gallic Steed A Junior on a winter’s day Mounted a “ pony ” and rode away. Beneath his hat by his head you could tell That his teacher said he was “ doing well.” Laughing, he said in his merry glee, “ None of the teachers can ever catch me.” But when he thought of the others so good Studying away as they always should, IIis face turned red; and a vague unrest And a guilty conscience troubled his breast. “ Ah! could I study as they all do, I would give my ‘ pony ’ and money too, But I can not, so I am forced to read By the help of my cunning, foxy steed. ” The teacher said to him next day, “ How did you get that fixed that way ? ” He hung his head and with a sad look Softly said, “ In the notes of the book.” The teacher looked with eyes so keen But in the notes it was not to be seen. He scanned his features o’er and o’er, Closed the book and said no more. The boy went home with a heavy heart, And decided that he with his pony must part. The final day dawned bright and clear, But the “ pony ” alas! was nowhere near. He couldn’t a single word translate. Though with his ‘ pony ” he had done first rate. Ilis fate, of course, you all well know- lie was left out in the cold and snow. Alas! for the “pony,” alas! for the boy Who failed to obtain his looked-for joy. The saddest words for a boy are when The teacher says, “ It might have been.” So in the hereafter let Juniors take care How they ride their “ponies,” beware! beware ♦ “Uncle, Sam” Causes Trouble I N the year it) — there came to the High School from one of the county districts a youth of seventeen summers This young man, Roger Chaney, by name, was of good dis¬ position, clever and altogether pleasant to view, and very soon, as is the custom in co-edueational institutions, the fairer ones of the school threw out a line well baited to draw in this desirable fish. At first he was a little dubious of all this attention, but finally he nibbled at the hook of one Miss Francis Lee Barton, and while he nibbled only, he was hauled in upon the shore of her side of the lake. Well, he fluttered and floundered as all fish do when first caught but finally seemed to enjoy his new position, no doubt dreaming that he would soon be out again into the open stream where he could try another hook. lie, however, had no such chance and upon this “ Lee ” shore he stayed. All went well with this juvenile pair during the re¬ mainder of the year, their only troubles being an occasional ejection from the room by a teacher for talking or passing notes to each other, or a scoring by the same person for thinking of other things than lessons. They separated in May, grieved because the year had been so short, and they prom¬ ised to keep each other informed as to the state of heart during vacation. Four months soon rolled by, and September found the same knowing glances and steady companionship of these “ teens ” people. In November of the second year, the strain upon the young man’s heart had become so great that the other organs of the body in sympathy for this circulatory centre came to its assistance and soon they all were impaired. Then, alas, for the youth, horrors for the maiden, he was obliged to stop school and go home to recuperate. The leave-taking was sad but accompanied by many promises that “ Uncle Sam, ” the good relative of both, would surely oblige them by conveying a few words to them. Lo, he did convey. He carried missive after missive In fact so many epistles were sent that the Salisbury office was helped wonderfully in its struggle to be placed on the list of first class offices. But Roger made a sad faux pas, and the good old “uncle” who had so favored him in the past refused positively to carry another four cent package for him. The trouble was this: It was in the month of February, and he like many a young man conceived the idea of speaking the abundance of his heart by a valentine with a few lines which, had the meaning been properly interpreted, would show Frances his exact feeling toward her He purchased, he sent, but it didn’t conquer, for back it came. Well, said he “ the jig is up.” Then others followed. These simply added fuel to the flame, and the mind of the girl which had in some way been twisted toward another was thoroughly infuriated and she vowed she would never speak to him again and said many other things which may be properly omitted here. Soon Roger came to the school to set matters aright, all the while abusing his dear uncle for causing this mishap He drew nigh the High School and ascended to the second [ 58 ] floor hoping, yet dreading to face her whose voice had been sweeter than music, whose face had been fairer than a lily to him only a few months before. While conversing with his former fellow students, by she rushed looking straight ahead and passed into a room to utter a few maledictions upon the head of him upon whom she had so proudly looked heretofore The chasm was there and by all that could be said or done it could not be bridged, and matters went from bad to worse until they drifted forever apart. The secret of the whole trouble was, as they both admitted, those accursed valen¬ tines which the U. S. mail carried forward then backward, and this day they both declare that a valentine of any character makes them faint and sick at heart. They swear by all the gods from Jupiter down that they trust their bodies will lie unburied and their souls will never be conveyed by Charon arcoss the Styx if they ever spend another “ red ” for one of those things which marred their peace of mind and inter¬ fered with heart beats of two students of the High School. Will they keep their promise ? A Dciv of S. H. S. Life P ROMPTLY at 9 A. M., we are called together by the familiar ding-dong of the old school-bell. Our day’s work begins with the roll-call, which the Professor glides over so rapidly, that if you happen to be reading Latin or talking (which is more likely), when your name is called, he will have asked several questions, placed an absent mark op¬ posite your name, and called half a dozen more names before you can decide whether that was really your name and whether you are absent or present. This is followed by the open¬ ing exercises which are conducted by the pupils. Usually a smile plays around the corners of the Professor’s mouth. But no smile is seen on the pale countenance of the speaker, whose heart seems to have broken its bounds and leaped into his throat causing the voice to seem broken and unreal. Next a walk home after the music book, if you have forgotten the same. If this be your situation, it is sad indeed for you lose the most interesting and de- cidely the easiest part of the day. Presently we find ourselves in the Latin room. If through this you should be for¬ tunate enough to pass without a “ zip,” you are the envy of the entire class. In this room we spend thirty minutes in dread of being called on and with anxiety for the close of the period. When we have received our allotment of only seventy-five lines for the next les¬ son, with the assurance that we will not find it so hard, and with advice to abstain from the use of all four-footed beasts in connection with Latin, our Latin Professor sallies out just before the moon rises above our threshold,and we begin to scan,and make and unmake figures of speech at the rate of a mile a minute more or less until recess gives us a few minutes freedom. During the next few pleasant moments we are supposed to study, but because of the prevailing tendency to talk we allow ourselves to be led by the ruling passion of the school¬ room. Before we realize it, eleven o’clock has come, and we are ushered into the adjoin¬ ing room. Within the walls of the Math, room, we never enter without material for work, for the Professor rushes his classes, and we, the dignified seniors, do dislike to be “hustled,” but if we rebel, we are rushed along at a greater speed and he insists upon our doing a half hour’s work in nineteen minutes less than no time. Our next period is spent with the same Prof, but in a different way, for we all enjoy our music lessons. Being joined to the junior class, we mingle our melodious voices, and with a strain that would remind a listener of “ The lively song of the frogs in yonder pond ” we pass the remainder of the morning. We lave school with the visions of a smoking dinner floating before our eyes,but before we have fully appeased our appetites, the school bell rings and we, with hurried steps, wend our way toward the school. We have a delightful time during the Astronomy period, for we study about the earth, moon, and stars. Especially delightful is it to two of our young ladies, who have reserved seats up front. Our Professor endeavors to explain why Uranus would float if it fell into the sea. Whether we understand his explanation or not is a question. [ 60 ] This, our second period in the afternoon, is study period and similar to all supposed study periods, more talk than work. But who could work when such an interesting and learned class as our sophomores is reciting. Their knowledge (in playing pranks) is unlimited. One member of this distinguished classs said that the Bed Sea was an in¬ dentation on the eastern coast of the United States. For no other reason than this, this member was seated and given a “ zip.” More of our ladies would enjoy the lesson in the manual training room, if they were allowed to hold lengthy conversations with the 4 teachers’ favorites-the boys.” This period is followed by a few moments of recreation. At the first tap of the bell we assemble with our Principal for German. This lesson is quite interesting to a few of our members especially to those who have great ability in that line. Within these walls we wrestle with cosines, tangents and other mysteries that A entworth and his contemporaries have devised for the torture of succeeding generations. Thus we leave school with the song, “Please go way and let met sleep.” [ 61 ] A S0V6nth Grade Venture ( SU IMPOSE woman ever has been curious and ever will be. Her curiosity often leads her into surprising places, and makes fortune take many unexpected turns. But had it not been so, there would have been this one page less in the “ Tatler.” Two Freshmen, it must be owned through curiosity, determined to investigate the un¬ known recess and shadowy corners of the third story of the Salisbury High School. It appears that one was more timid than the other, or else cared not to display her bravery before such a small audience; anyway she sent the other girl on ahead and it is of the lady who went first that we shall speak. Armed with the weapons of fear and trembling, and leaving courage behind, she started on her expedition, awaiting the unexpected. Skillfully the ladder which leads to their destination was climbed, and the third floor was reached. Why there was no flooring up there we cannot say. But we are as¬ sure! that after this experience there will be none needed. Perhaps there wasn’t room enough on the rafters for her feet (as is likely); perhaps fear took her by the hand; but anyhow she stopped where she shouldn’t have done, (oh 1 when will people cease to find pleasure in doing wrong?) and she found that step just one too many. A scream grated on our ears; we heard falling plaster; the companion fled; the principal hurried out into the hall.and gazed wildly up at the ceiling. What a sight met his earnest iook! It was the dainty foot of the unfortunate expljrer, peering through lathe and plaster. Who can tell the look on the Professor’s face? Was it of anger or sup¬ pressed amusement ? None but he will ever know since only a shoe sole stared blankly at him from the heights. With much difficulty the downcast adventuress was removed from her perch, mak¬ ing a solemn vow never to bother trouble again. But my story does not end here, perhaps to the regret of the characters. For that plastering was duly paid for. m St. Valentine’s Parlv I On a bright and frosty evening, When the moon was shining bright. All the Seniors and their teachers Gathered on St. Valentine’s night. II It was at a lady teacher’s Who resides on William street, That this band of happy people Had been kindly asked to meet. III All the company was invited, All was done with greatest care, All was furnished that was needed, For a party very rare. IV The feature of the evening Was playing games with hearts, And many a girl was wounded By Cupid shooting darts. V Though Chester had an “ Olive ” And Etha had a “ Nock ” And May had her “ Sweet William,” We all survived the shock. VI So here’s to the one that gave it, And here’s to “ ’05” so gay, And here’s to S. II. S. teacher’s, But here’s to St. Valentine’s day. Commencement ' of S. H. S.

(Harmonized by Professor W. T. Dashiell. Words by Mr, Herbert Fooks ) An old school building there stands on the hill, A beacon that beckoned us on at its will, And called us together within its wide walls, To teach us its lessons of virtue to all — May time and eternity this emblem spare. And its grand flag of freedom still float in the air. And the dear old teachers, so kind and so true Will rise to renown by the good works they do. To this old High School with thoughts sweet but sad, A crowding our mem Tics like buffaloes mad, As they rush to the river and leap on its bank With the lasso approaching on every flank. We will bid farewell then to-night for a while, And even though distant for many a mile Will ever remember this building so old, And ever keep sacred the green and the gold. And whether in valley, on hill, or in glade. Where forests primeval may cast forth their shade. By deep mountain gorges where cataracts roar. While the bald headed eagle above them does soar. And casts his eyes earthward on friend and on foe, And clinches his talons for regions below. Let us ever be ready to sail o’er the deep, Although skies be cloudy and billows be steep. Let Carpe Diem be our motto through life. Twill lead us to vict’ry and guide us through strife. Twill change cares to gladness, make pleasures from pain And sing a sweet song from a bitter refrain. Clouds fade away quickly by sunshine dispersed When we follow correctly our proverbial course, So let us keep always wherever we go On the walls of our mem’ry this worthy motto. Let the thoughts of our school-days prove ever to be, As they rush through our minds in deep reverie, Like a fountain that waters the woodland so wild And brings forth the fruits for the ruby-lipped child And as the child gathers the berries each day To satisfy hunger when she comes to the fray, So may we gather from our fruitful class-tree The fruits that will feed our sad memory. Athletics T IIK students of t lie S. II. S. have for several years interested themselves in some phases of Athletics, yet they have not had prior to this year a system that was needed to direct this feature of School work. So, feeling the need of this very system, the members of the four high school grades decided to remedy the defect of for¬ mer seasons by a firm organization and to have under its jurisdiction all the athletics of the school which include foot-ball, base-ball and field-sports. The students are responding nobly to the demands of the athletic association, and the prospect for the advancement of its cause is a bright one. M Tecim, ’04 Captain KARL F. SCHULER Manager WM W.

T HE base-ball season opened very successfully for Salisbury High School, by ad¬ ministering a defeat to the Seaford High School Team at Seaford, on April 4th, A large crowd of rooters accompanied our team to the opponent’s town to help bring about a victory by their cheers and yells. It was a hard fought game from beginning to end as will be seen by the score. Salisbury started the run-getting by scoring two in the first inning on Taylor’s sin¬ gle and Hethke’s triple, but at the end of the fourth the score was 0 to 0 and remained so until the tenth when Salisbury batted out the winning run. In Seaford’s half of the tenth Coulbourn struck out, Cox made a hit, stole second, was sacrificed to third, but Schuler who had been pitching line ball, rose to the occasion and fanned White thus winning the game. Hethke played a strong game at short, besides carrying off the batting honors by making a triple, double and single in four times at hat. Perry and Adkins also played their positions well.

We journeyed up to Seaford accompanied by a large crowd of “ rooters.” The first we heard after the train stopped at Seaford was about KM) fish-horns. After a few minutes practice we commenced the game. The teams’ line-ups was as fol lows: Salisbury High School. Seaford High School.

At the end of the first half the score was (M) in favor of Seaford. The score being made by a touch-down by Willey and goal-kick by Josephs. After 10 minutes rest we commenced the second hal f, which was much better on our part than the first. The only score made during this half was a touch-back against us, which made the score 8-0 in favor of Seaford and thus it ended. We were beaten but de¬ clared revenge in next games. The time was made very lively for Seaford by fish-horns and yells but not very enjoyable for us on account of score The return game was played Friday, December 2, and witnessed by nearly all of the school as well as many from town. The line-up of our team on this game was changed on account of the injuries to Waller and Fooks in the game at Seaford, thus giving us the following line-up. Salisbury High School.

Back Mgr. Full Back m Seaford High School. Cox, Manager Gilbert Chipman Williams Wright Shipley Huey Josephs, Captain Hurley Willey Blades Referee and Umpire—Jackson. Salisbury received the choice of goals. At nearly the beginning of the first half, Seaford boys fumbled the ball and a touch-down was made by Wimbrow. This seemed to get the nerve of the Seaford boys, and our team kept on scoring and at the end of the first half the score was 8-0 in our favor. In the second half there was not so much scor¬ ing by us but Seaford made their only score near the end of the half, when Josephs kicked field goal. The final score was 15-4 in our favor, and we kept as much noise as they did in the first game. The features of the game were the large gains made by Adkins. A great deal of credit is due to Mr. Jackson, an attorney-at-law in Salisbury, for coaching our boys, and it was largely through his training that we won the game. Each team wanted to play the deciding game, so our team went to Seaford again on December nth, with same line-ups. At the end of the first half the score was 0-0, scores being made by touch-down by Wimbrow, after a fumble by Seaford and goal-kick by Adkins. At the end of the second half thescjre was 0-0. The Seaford boys kept our boys back but came within 5 yards of a touch-down when they fumbled again, our boys getting the ball. Both teams played a very good game, but Seaford did not have so much fun as they did in the Thanksgiving game. Referee and Umpire—Jackson. In each game Salisbury’s substitutes were : T Mitchell, V. Mitchell and Tritt. Seaford’s substitutes were: Obierand Ilirs. Drier and James were time-keepers in every game. Constitution of United Statements of the “Senior Gass.” W E, the people of S. H.

Dear Ma: — I am sure you are wanting to know how I am getting along at the High School and I am very anxious to tell you about it, for it is all so very new and in¬ teresting to me. You know, ma, that I was accustomed to having only one master in the old school at home, and just imagine how odd it seems to me here, for I have to obey four masters. They give me hardly any time to study, but just keep me marching around from room to room. Each room, of course, is occupied by one master, and each time I appear I am tested to see what I am doing out of school hours. Now 1 think that is too bad, for the old master at home never cared what I did out of school, just so l behaved while I was in his presence. I have been telling you only of the four that have authority over me, but there are lots of pretty lady teachers, who have the care of the lower grades. I haven’t learned their names yet, but I think sometimes I wish I could go m their rooms too, for I am sure their dainty little hands never handle switches. At least they don’t look as if they do. There is another thing too, ma, that seems strange to me. You know we have only the little organ in our school at home, and here they have a big piano. I tell you I was almost sorry 1 ever tried to play an instrument; for about three days after I arrived at the school the head professor asked me if I was a soloist, and I was obliged to tell a story or the truth. So I told him I did play some and forthwith he asked me to enter¬ tain them with a solo at the opening exercises. Now, ma, I felt like refusing a dozen times, but I knew you wouldn’t want your son to be a coward, so I just had to agree to try. But I have regretted that step ever since, for when I took my seat on that piano- stool 1 felt about as foolish as Simple Simon. I put my music up on the piano before me and it seemed about a mile from the music to my fingers. I had an awful time to keep my eyes on both of them. The key-board was so long that 1 was awfully bothered to lind middle C. After a while I got my hands started up and I was so nervous that when they did get a-going I couldn’t stop them. When I glanced down from the music to my hands I was frightened at their appearance, for they actually seemed to be running away. My lingers looked like ten jumping-jacks jumping all over that key-board. At last I did get them stopped, but I have been threatened with nervous prostration ever since. Now, ma, won’t you please answer my letter as soon as you get this and send me a bottle of nerve mixture and a sheet of sticking-plaster for my lingers. Yours affectionately, Sunny Simpers.

I Jimmie Jackstraw, wishing to know how many times I shall get sick and with what maladies I am attacked, intend to keep a rigid account of my various ail- ments until March 1, 1905, if I survive until that date. So here goes. Nov. 25th. Had a collision with my teacher, by which I was badly bruised and obliged to have my back well bathed in (s) witch-hazel. Nov. 30th. Bucked up against one of the boys this time and had nearly all the cider squeezed out of my Adam’s apple. Dec. 1st to loth. Had severe throat trouble. Dec. 11th. Doctor called to examine my throat. Dec. 12th. With the aid of a butcher’s knife he extracted everything from my throat except my tongue, and that was so long he couldn’t find the end of it. Dec. 13th and 14th. Better. Dec. 15th. Had a severe attack of Talkacitis, and my, how I do wish the doctor had found the end of my tongue; for, in order to set me right, I am obliged to take a couple goose eggs (00) and temporary banishment from the room. Dec. 17th. Am seized with a severe longing to leave school and go skating, and the consequence is that I am obliged to have a box on my ears-to keep them from freez¬ ing next time (?) Dec. 18th. Had a little disagreement with my teacher and was compelled to take a dose of apologeticine. This remedy is popular with the doctors, but it has a very bitter taste. Dec, 20th. Have an attack of slow fever. Dec. 21st to 25th. Fever slightly increasing. Dec. 20th. Fever very high and the doctor announces that my disease is the oration-consternation, which has been raging in school since Thanksgiving. Dec . 27th. Am in much distress, for this disease attacks both heart and brains. Dec. 28th. In order to relieve my mind the doctor advises the use of my pen from seven to twelve at night; and to strengthen my nerves I am allowed to partake of any of the Christmas dainties with which the pantry and cellar are stored. Dec. 29th and 30th. Still writing (?) and eating between the aforesaid hours. Dec. 31st. After writing a little the past week and eating a chocolate cake, a bushel of doughnuts, a barrel of apples, a bunch of bananas, a box of oranges, and five pounds jf candy, 1 feel a little strengthened about my nerves. But, lo, that oration fever is still with me. jan. 19 th, 1905. Fever very tedious, varying a little at times, and usually worse at evening. Jan. 20th. Obliged to have my brain and heart tested by Prof. Huftington and his assistants. Jan 23rd. The oration-consternation is at its crises and I am seized with such a severe nervous attack from 9.15 to 9.25 a. m. that I thought I d die, alter which time the fever passes away as if by magic and I was completely well. Jan. 24th. Oh, pshaw! I feel so good after that oration is over that I am going to quit this diary business and take things easy for a while. Jimmie Jackstraw. Fhoughts Gleaned bv the Way Latin Teacher— 44 By the way, the word optimist is derived from the adjective optimus; wlio can give its meaning ? ” Phillips and Nicholson, in unison— 4 Whyer-a-I know, one who cares for the eyes.” Teacher— 44 The use of this sentence—That is the most unkindest cut of all—is due to what we call 4 poets ’ license.” Phillips — 44 Mr. Ilntfington, how much does that cost ? ” Prof’s, definition of latitude— 44 Latitude runs all around the world ” At what rate we wonder ? The dream of every ambitious pupil, to have a pull with the teachers. Mi tab ile dicta! Hilda Howard kept all her books for exactly two days (and what is more wonderful, she studied her German for ten minutes). Teacher— 44 What is the name of the pole after it is extended ? ” Nina— 44 Butter-bean pole.” Incident in Ninth Grade Literature class. (Irma and George sitting together as usual) Mr. Turner—“Are you two paying attention ? ” Geo. and Irma— 44 Most assuredly ” (to each other). Teacher—“ Where are the vocal chords?” Tenth Grade pupil (brightly)—“All over the body.” Much ado about nothing—A Tenth Grade class-meeting. Teacher— 44 What king succeeded Henry VIII ? ” Student— 44 Shakespeare.” Mr. Turner— 44 What become of the ancient Britons?” Pupil— 44 Why, I think they died.” Teacher in History— 44 Where was John Cabot from ? ” Eighth Grade— 44 Italy ” Teacher— 44 What part of Italy ? ” Scholar—“Spain.” One of our teachers is so 44 handy ” around the black-board that we are rapidly doing away with erasers. 44 Some of the girls like to take a back seat. Because one of the boys is so sweet.” Hilda (indignantly)—“Am 1 a fiirt, Frank ? ” Frank (quickly)—“Only when you have a chance.” For Latin students. Darkibus vightibus.
