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

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

ELSIE RICHARDSON Salisbury, Md. ‘ ‘ Her modest looks the cottage might adorn; Sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn. ” Elsie is a sweet, demure young girl, but perfectly calm and self-pos¬ sessed withal. She is delightful because of her quaint, dry humor, her sur¬ prising staunchness of purpose, her thorough femininity. But above all oth¬ er things, Elsie appreciates a perfect dancing floor and likewise a perfect partner. She is sympathetic and appreciative of the need everyone has at some time for the comfort of a friend, giving it willingly and couching her advice in words carefully selected to give the best results. Her charming grace and unaffected manner have endeared her to everyone. This combination of a pleasant companion and an earnest worker in Elsie has made her a girl whom we will long remember. DOROTHY HESTER SEXTON Hebron, Md. “I would climb: not swiftly, but slowly and surely. ' Hester does not have so many of the petty characteristics of many of her sex, for beyond a little vanity, common to us all, she seldom shows any disagreeable traits. She believes that perseverance will stand the test of time and bring the desired results and she goes about her work with that code thoroughly in mind. ' Hester, do you think this?” or “Hester, do you think that?” is often heard in our halls; for Hester is our adviser, our keen and sympathetic com¬ panion, our loyal companion. She is the consort of Justice herself; not of the harsh sort, but of the more elastic variety, merging on the renowned qualities possessed by mercy. And with it she is democratic. She is a gentle woman in her manner, a frivolous girl in her friendliness, a charm¬ ing child in her attitude. Sweet and dear, she is beloved by all; keen and shrewd, she is a sister to all of us. 28
