MARY KATHERINE BETTS Salisbury, Md. “I’ll speak though hell itself shall gape and bid me hold my peace Katherine is the most spritely girl in our noble congregation. Her sweet tinkling laughter constantly heralds her diminutive presence and intersperses her’s and other peoples’ conversations. Ordinarily she would have been a child of restraint, especially in a conversational way, but at some time in the distant past a sad and usual accident happened—Kather¬ ine was told that the only way to acquire knowledge is to preserve an in¬ quiring attitude toward the world in general. Oh, she has acquired knowl¬ edge all right, and she has a remarkable faculty for retaining it. She can also transmit knowledge and is in diligent preparation for pedagogical fields where her ambition is to cultivate young and delicate minds for higher aspirations. ALTNE BYRD Salisbury, Md. “She that was ever fair and never proud, Had tongue at will, yet was never loud.” Aline is destined to create high literary w r orks, but at present she is seeking to obliterate herself in an office. Whether this movement is an effort on her part to bury her jolly self and to cultivate deeper thought while waiting for Dame Fortune to ring the bell, we do not know. But we do know that Aline can produce, without apparent effort, literature of entertaining merit. Aline is endowed with great imaginative pov r ers by which she trans¬ forms even the most commonplace objects into things of beauty. She is also able to make it work the other way as anyone w T ho saw her in “Packing the Missionary Barrel” can witness. 15

CLAYTON CARROLL CALLOWAY Salisbury, Md. 4 ‘Slow and steady wins the race” Clayton is a man of few words. It is probably for this reason that we have unanimously chosen him for our brother and treated him as such un¬ til now lie has become an aged (?) meek (?) long-faced (?) person. Lately George moved away from beside him and he has been noticed to have a brighter aspect so it is quite possible that lie will assume a normal appear¬ ance when we have all moved away. Fortunately everyone will be able to recognize “Warehouse” when we meet him, for on a late occasion he appeared in such wonderful “glad rags” that no amount of rejuvenation will be sufficient to disguise him effectually. But one wish goes out from our hearts, that is, that he will gain a fit place and reward, and that, near his beloved Bookkeeping. “Warehouse Lot” ROXIE LILLIAN CHATHAM Allen, Md. ‘ ‘ She thinks too much: Such girls are dangerous.” Here we have the invincible Roxie. Nothing daunts her, nothing is too great to be overcome. She has broken the Wicomico’s typing records, ex¬ cells everyone in having perfect bookkeeping, and is unsurpassed in “on- the-spur-of-the-moment ” answers in History. To add to it all, she has a gen¬ erous nature and is always ready to give us aid in any matter whatsoever, be it ever so incomprehensible. Roxie is out to capture honors for Old Wicomico and no doubt lingers in our minds, that her efforts will be re¬ warded and brilliant success will accompany her footsteps. 16
