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.

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

CARRIE HEARNE Salisbury, Md. “Whatever is worth doing at all Is worth doing well.” Carrie is a kind, quiet, sympathetic girl who strives to do justice to her studies, her friends and to herself. Her calm attitude toward the mul¬ tiplied perplexities incident to study, and her perseverance in facing and wrestling with the problems of life are superb. She is the support of the low in heart, the helper of those who need aid, the friend of all, the same unfail¬ ing, unwavering companion of her associates. And with it all she has a delicious sense of humor; her laugh is irresistable. Carrie is studying pedagogical theories, and systems of instilling knowledge into young and ingenius minds. She has a high purpose in view, and though she may not revolutionize the whole method of present teach¬ ing, she will, no doubt, work out the salvation of many young hopefuls who will have the good fortune to come under her care. JOHN GIBSON HOWIE Salisbury, Md. “Speech was given to man to conceal his thoughts, Why waste words in idle chatter?” John has a personality that leaves a strong impression upon all whom he meets. lie has a rare perseverance and is a strong believer in the rule, “Try, try again.” Besides these traits, he is unobtrusive, studious, good- looking and has those accomplishments which go towards making a fine business man. John possesses a bass voice and has on occasions rendered favorite se¬ lections, but he has never as yet been prevailed upon to.give us a solo. In athletics he had sufficient tenacity to help make our Soccer Team last fall, the Champions of the Eastern Shore. 21
