PAULINE DOODY Eden, Md. “It is the early bird that catches the worm.” Pauline is from the town with the Biblical name—Eden. Although one of the smallest according to bodily dimensions, in our class, yet Pauline is what one would call a good student. Ever since she entered the Class in the Freshman year, her studious habits have been observed. Her greatest fault is that she will never miss a lesson even at the cost of worrying her companions and teachers. Her precision is noticeable; her attention in class is unmarred except when she giggles—in this she is accompanied by Katherine Betts. She is so attentive in class that no error made by anyone escapes her notice and she has thus an accumulation of jokes with which to provide amusement. She is a busy little body and is popular in all the grades of the High School, for she stands ready to aid anyone who is in need. LAURA GERTRUDE DOWNING Hebron, Md. “Begone dull care! I prithee begone from me: Begone dull care! Thou and I shall never agree.” Laura is from the town of Hebron and is the only brilliant haired member of our class. She is one of our most interesting class-mates, being renowned for several reasons. She continually wears a smile that v r on’t come off. The Physics recitations are the joy of Laura’s existence, and it is during these recitations that Laura displays her bountiful store of knowledge. To harmonize with her hair, Laura has a sunny disposition and a kind word for all. 17

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

CH4RLES EDWARD DUFFY, JR. Wilmington, Del. 4 ‘Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow” This promising young man is the President of our class and has won for himself a great name since serving in that capacity. Throughout the years that Edward has been with us, he has continually been surprising us. He has distinguished himself in the Physics ela ' vs by answering two out of every ten questions asked him. He has also proven himself to be a great debater. 11 is arguments are indisputable. Edward or “Ed,” by which name lie is more commonly known, is liked by everyone, being possessed of a very good disposition. He is also a vetv prominent figure in athletics, having distinguished himself on our Soccor Team last Fall, and he is also the catcher on the Base Ball Team. Fruitland, Md. “I love its gentle warble, I love its rapid flow, I love to wind my tongue up, I love to hear it go.” Many and varied are the trials that have been faced by Hattye, for Hattye is our industrious Secretary and Treasurer. Both offices were be¬ stowed upon her without question, a thing that speaks eloquently of the great trust and regard we feel toward her. Rightly has she chosen the commercial world: the only annoyance she has experienced there has been the unaccommodating typewriters. Nevertheless, she is blest with a natural grit which she is continually invoking (vocally) to aid her in conquering the elusive keys. Yes, her vocal attempts are numerous but the quality of her conversational efforts are never doubted by her unfortunate class¬ mates. She ranks second only to Charles Henry. The greatest hope we have is that she will soon overcome her shyness when in masculine com¬ pany (?) 18 “Squeak” MARY HATTYE FOOKS
