WILLIAM ALFRED SMITH Pittsville, Md. “And still we gazed, and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all he knew.” William is a youth of aspirations and accomplishments. He lias made us believe so many things that he goes to the extent of attempting to con¬ vince us that his knowledge embraces everything in every sphere; an at¬ tempt which is borne out by wild gestures, a piping voice and an earnest ex¬ pression, emphasized by an “I told you so.” Sad to say that is not the end, we hear it endlessly, constantly. He aspires to a high stature and is now culti vating a deej) voice and an assuring manner. NELLIE ANTIONETTE TOADVINE Salisbury, Md. “And knowing much, she burned to know still more.” Nellie has what one might term the habit of getting crushes on members of her own sex. We have reference to that special one she has on Pauline. They are simply inseparable and when Nellie is asked to do something she promptly replies: “I will if Pauline will.” Despite this fact she has been enticed by some wicked person to desert her beloved and has been even known not to speak to “Pat” twice in the same day. This hap¬ pened once when “Pat” had the Flu. We have never revealed it before and are only doing so now because we know it will be known eventually. Nevertheless, her good nature remains unimpaired and her dignity will recover in time. But, let us hope, she will never be able to abandon the case of “giggles” she has contracted from her “better half,” for they put the finishing touch to her genuine and agreeable companionship. 30

HENRY ALBERT SILVERMAN Salisbury, Md. All things come to him who hustles. Henry is a young man of many good qualities, not least among which are l.is ability to learn, ponder, and execute the complex problems entailed in any encounter with the business world. lie is a quick, active, thorough thinker and worker—a loyal supporter of his class and school. He earn¬ estly and conscientiously strives for what he believes to be the best, and to attain it he leaves no stone unturned. He is an assistant to anyone who asks for his aid, a hearty co-worker in the ‘‘first line trench.’’ His one idiosyncrasy is that he prefers the vernacular, the systematic habits, the courteous though keen attitude of the business man. It was because he was expected to make our “Tatler” the successful Year-book that it should be, that he was chosen as Business Manager, and in that capacity he has proven of great value to the Editors. So we wish him every success in the world of business where lie was meant to be and where he cannot but succeed. Hebron, Md. “I value science—none can prize it more. It gives ten thousand motives to adore.” Charles came to us two years ago and he has proven himself a thorough and conscientious student. He does an endless amount of thinking at any and all hours of his existence, never allowing even lunch to interfere with his plane of thought. This plane consists principally of Science, but Fate has directed his steps in a different direction and he expects to enter Dick¬ inson College. But Charles is not content with his studies alone. He is one of our most reliable and enduring athletes, supporting the track and Soc¬ cer teams well. He has always been a quiet unassuming sort of fellow,— the kind that attends to his own business and does everything thoroughly. Such men always succeed. “Murphy” CHARLES ALBERT SMITH 29

KATHERINE ANNE TODD Salisbury, Md. ‘ ‘ She is nice to walk with, And witty to talk with, And pleaant to think on.” Katherine has been with us throughout our high school course and in fact she lias been a member of our noble band since the beginning of our school days. She is noted for her bright and sunny disposition, for when all others are ‘‘down in the mouth,” Katherine can always give a cheerful word to lighten our hearts. The class has frequently been convulsed by her wit. Even some of those stoic members of our higher order of enlighten¬ ment have been k nown to laugh at her remarks. At times she has been the means of getting us “in Dutch” with the faculty, but leave it to Katherine to bring us safely over the rough waves. Good natured, vivacious, clever and friendly, is this essential member of our class and the memory ot her will go with us throughout our lives. Salisbury, Md. Motto: “True to herself, True to her friends, True to her duty always.” May is such a demure, shy little maiden that her courageous heart is not suspected by the majority of people. Unfortunately for the boys her courage extends to the facing of the variety of small worms and snakes, common to the possession of the school boys. In fact, her calm has always been so superb in facing these beasts that members of the faculty have gazed upon her with incredulity. Along another line our amazement is just as great for May’s fortitude in overcoming the irregularities of “Transit Porlation” is an example to us all. 31
