CORA WARD GORDY Salisbury, Md. “The twinkle in her eye chases away The glooms from her classmates.’’ Cora has been with us through four excruciating years and she lias made each one the lighter for her humor. She is a gay, debonair lass, gifted in the arts of that make of a gentlewoman, a most perfect young lady, at times. She is wonderfully gifted in domestic arts, being able to produce ar¬ ticles that verge upon masterpieces in sowing and to concoct the most de¬ lectable foods that transport the senses. All in all, she is a “scrumptious” housekeeper. Yet, strange to say, her charms are not appreciated by the opposite sex. they being in their usual state of veriest blindness. Our best wishes go with her to Randolph-Macon where she cannot but do credit to the good name of the AY. H. S. Salisbury, Md. “Heart of purest gold, eyes of softest brown, Ever smiling, ever cheerful, never known to frown.” Elizabeth’s spritely manner and jovial laughter have endeared her to everybody, especially to Hattye, who is her boon companion. She is a thorough believer in the elasticity of democracy, and is a generous, sympa¬ thetic friend. She is possessed of a rare voice, which we seldom have to endure; a fine sense of the fitness of things, which she freely shares with others; a loyal heart that stands ever in the way of the sinning and trans¬ gressing “Senior,” and sundry other admirable qualities, too numerous to mention. But above all else, Elizabeth has her own opinions on all sub¬ jects, therefore warning is hereby issued, to every unwary person to forbear approaching her with the idea of destroying in any way her estimable— always estimable—opinion. May the years to come prove this magnificent¬ ly proportioned member of our class as capable as she promises to be. 19 “Cory” ELIZABETH HAGAN

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

ROBLEY D. HARRIS Salisbury, Md. t Reb” “I nothing ever did but that ’Twas pleasure in the doing.” Robley is an excellent Biologist, Chemist and Photographer, lie is our Student of Nature and proves himself equal to any difficulty that can be encountered in Biology. But Biology is not his only strong point. When anyone has the misfortune of having an ache or pain, all they need do is to drop into ’’Collier’s” where “Reb” presides, and he will receive them with open arms. His greatest delight is in taking snapshots. But he is very particular in his choice of subject and camera: the camera must be an Ansco, and the subject-????? “Reb” does not take an active part in athletics, but in him old W. II. S. loses one of its staunchest supporters. HELEN LOUISE HAWK Salisbury, Md. “Few things are impossible to diligence and skill.” Diligence and skill are among the most striking qualities that Helen possesses. In addition to these admirable characteristics she has in a re¬ markable degree the ability to manage people and things, as we discovered when we gave our last Assembly play. Moreover, Helen has not only the power and skill to do things, but she does them, and it is for this reason that we, as a class, have often placed many and great responsibilities upon her, and we have found her not only willing to bear them, but sure and steady in regard to their execution. This has been found especially true in publishing this volume of “The Tatler,” for it has been her ready pen that has produced most of the literary work appearing upon these pages. We feel sure that the years to come must have a career of brilliance and worth in store for this member of our class who has proved herself to be so true a friend and so loyal a supporter of the interests of 1919.
