IRENE ELIZABETH PARKER Salisbury, Md. “Irene is a girl we all like to meet, Her manner is ever sympathetic, gentle and sweet’’ Irene is a young girl of stern aspect and of martial bearing but, fortu¬ nately appearances are deceiving in her case. All jokes were made to in¬ voke her jolly laughter. In domestic science she has a standing reputation, as she is a wonderful seamstress and is possessed of individual tastes that culminate in her apparel, reaching the zenith of perfection in head adorn¬ ment. In like manner, Irene stands out in sharp contrast to the rest of our charming clique in that her determination is a thing as firm as the memory of our History class. VIRGINIA SARAH PHILLIPS Hebron, Md. “She freshly and cheerfully asked how one should kill time.” Altho Virginia is not a Salisburian, she’s almost as good. She hails from Hebron and her appearance and disposition are in keeping with that beautiful little village. We have teased and aggravated her in every way possible, but have never yet succeeded in causing even an impatient word to c oss her lips. She takes all our worrying with the sweetest smile upon her countenance and we go away baffled. All people have their peculiarities and Virginia has hers, in that slm seems to have a decided aversion to walking. She is seldom seen in the simple act of placing one foot before the other, except when she ascends to the comfort of a “Haynes.” Virginia is always so sweet and sympathetic that she is not only a great favorite among the girls but among the boys also. 26

LUCIE JANE MILLER Cappahassic, Va. “A happy soul that all the way to Heaven hath a summer day” As a star in the Commercial, Lucie ranks among the first, especially in Shorthand Class where her low, vibrant voice is often heard in the rapid reading of her notes. She is the charming and adventurous pal of every member of our class; ever changing, daring all things, she gives zest and spirit to all our ‘ 4 activities .’ 9 Nevertheless, she is possessed ' of a carefree manner offset by an energy rare in one proportioned so majestically. With the former she arms herself against the world in general, in the latter, she finds a battery which she directs upon whosoever attempts to disagree with her point of view with such an effect that only the stranger or the most disagreeable ever tries to dispute her word again. PHILLIP THORINGTON MITCHELL Salisbury, Md. “Who can fortell for what high cause this darling of the Gods was born?” This happy-go-lucky fellow holds the highest place among the “teas¬ ers’’• his victims are usually the members of the fair sex. Any time one may enter the room, the exasperated cry of “Stop, Bean” can be heard. Phillip has a highly appreciated artistic ability and is so successful in the execution that he has -won a reputation even among people outside of the circle of his fond classmates. So it was that when the members of the “Board” were elected Phillip was chosen as Art Editor. Although he has always helped the more unfortunate, he now stands ready at any moment to dispense aid. Though he has rather a hasty temper, he is not as vicious as he appears and is easily reduced to the utmost docility, but the registra¬ tion of deepest sarcasm is never quite erased. 25

ALMA EUGENIA POTTS Salisbury, Md. “Born for success, she seemed with grace to win With heart to hold, shining gifts that took all eyes.” “Jean“ has wilful hair, a tilted nose and a resolute little chin. Also she has a “temperament 9 She is gifted with the ability to study and to re¬ member what she has studied, to persist till she achieves what she desires, to overcome any difficulty in her way. She is usually preoccupied, and can be “awfully nice.” “Jean” goes in for athletics, and into that too she carries her deter¬ mination to win. She seldom misses the games of Base Ball, but her pref¬ erence seems to lean toward Soccer. It is rumored about that “Jean” will enter college, and she doubtless will there too uphold the traditions of her illustrious family, and the fame of W. H. S. GEORGE WILLIAM REDDISH Salisbury, Md. “France has its Napoleon, Rome has its Caesar, England its Cromwell, But Wicomico has ME.” George is the “little king of our home.” He has long held that privi¬ leged position, improving upon it whenever fortune presents an opportun¬ ity. In fact nothing so delights us as when George’s solid little figure is seen carrying off the honors of the Soccer field, or when he triumphs over his horrid opponents who have brought up some annoying debate. In the debating field, George, as President of the Philo Literary Society, reigns graciously over his adoring followers. George was appointed as our repre¬ sentative on the Finance Committee and we expect to see him on a similar committee in the Senate before many years. “Gouger” 27
