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

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.

IVA LARSON Mount Vernon, Me 1 “Her looks do argue her replete with modesty’’ Iva joined our stately carivan at the beginning of our present year journey. She hails from a distant village, but lias made herself completely at home in this one and has won her way into tlie hearts of a remarkable number of our population, or should it be our gallant population. She is a quiet girl, but thoroughly alive and possessed of typical American humor. Iva has a multitude of worries and sorrows. She is a pupil of Miss Morris and a companion aspirant of Carrie and Katherine for a teach¬ er’s diploma And she will get it, that is well known, for Iva believes in working early and late and persevering at all times, bo she must surely succeed. CHARLES THABOR LEVINESS Salisbury, Md. “Every man is the architect of his own character” In Charles we have that rare combination—youth and genius, lie is a powerful orator, an enthusiastic athlete, a perfect Senior, and a staunch friend. He has a wonderful vocabulary and uses it effectively to overcome win msoever he may encounter. For the last four years Charles has par¬ ticipated in all track events and so distinguished himself as a track man that he was elected to the noble position of Captain; and he is also efficient¬ ly filling the place of our Coach, Mr. Phillips, who entered the Army. On the Soccer field he has held a place and it is our hope that his name will be wrilten in the annals of Princeton’s Athletics. He is a member of the Fi¬ nance Committee and chairman of our Publicity Committee, in which ca¬ pacities he has exercised his executive ability well. He is a staunch friend, especially of the fair sex and it is generally said among them “that Charles LeViness is some chap.” “Charlie” 22
