The News Publishing Co Salisbury, Maryland VOLUME IX OF The Tatler 1922 PUBLISHED ANNUALLY BY THE SENIOR CLASS O F WICOMICO HIGH SCHOOL WHEN_? When tadpoles turn to sharks And houses are built without floors, When skyscrapers are used for parks And garages no longer use doors, When tables are made without legs And summer rains give place to snows; When cheesecloth is sold in kegs And there are no picture shows; When autos run without gasoline And trolley cars fly through the air; When oil lamps burn without kerosene And tax rates are considered fair; When the President draws only two dollars a day And the people no longer eat pickles, When chickens think it a crime to lay And brickbats are turned to icicles, When the government mints coin nothing but cents And the aeroplane gives pla e to the mule, Then perhaps the people will wake And build us a “NEW HIGH SCHOOL.” 2 r I a O our teachers who have guided our steps and helped us through all of our difficulties of school life, we, the class of Nineteen Twenty- two, dedicate this book. PREFACE No word of admonition was oftener heard during the great war than the words “Carry On.” It became an almost universal watch-word among the English speaking allies. A gifted English woman, left a widow with three children, lost two of her dear ones, but wrote to an American friend “But we must go on.” The words “carry on” contain the very essence of victory. This is equally true in school life or in later life as in war. “Faint yet pursuing” was an apostolic resolution. Unnumbered difficulties seem to surround us in school life. Siren voices of pleasures to be enjoyed may have sung their song of dalliance. Our native inertia may have tempted us to cease study or work, and to fail to go on to graduation. But yet we “carry on.” A prize is still before us, for out in the world there are goals to be attained. Our possibilities for doing great things are unlimited, but our probabilities depend on our untiling faithfulness in going forward, and our application of the motto, “Carry on.” In these days the one who recognizes opportunities, dares to step out and grasp them and carry them on to greater success, is the man of the hour. Let us “carry on” towards truth, towards higher life; through re¬ proach, through difficulties toward triumph and toward God, for in the words of Paul, “This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are be¬ hind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” 4 ( f r s Si ? 7 .... £ r ■■■■ Q ' ; ■ � ■ .

Thus we feel towards Miss Bloxom, our worthy friend and advisor, who during our Senior year has always enlightened our difficulties and brought to us success. The sincere appreciation of her loyalty and aid in the preparation of this volume, is extended by the Class of Nineteen- Twenty-Two. 8 PROF ' . C. H. CORDREY Prof. C. H. Cordrey, Principal of Wicomico High School, has guided us safely though one of the most trying years in the history of the school. PROFESSOR C. H. CORDREY 11 FACULTY Clarence H. Cordrey, A. B.

Of course Mr. Cordrey takes the first seat For in American History, he can’t be beat. Even the study hall obeys his will When he raps on his desk, and says, “Peace, be still.” Did you know Miss Bloxom could parlez-vous With a french fried potato or an oyster stew? In French and Latin, no one is wiser Than Miss Lois Bloxom, our class advisor. Whether it’s blowing or whether it’s snowing Miss Ruth can keep the lunch room going. With her strong will power and strict rat law When she issues an order, we dassn’t say, “Naw.” Now Miss Wilson whom you all know Is always ready and on the go, She teaches history with all her might, And dances almost every night. Mr. Schwartz is an English teacher Who gestures and talks like a Methodist preacher. He teaches all who come his way Just how to write and what to say. In Chemistry and chemicals, Miss Chapman takes delight, She studies science all the day and dreams of it at night; The secrets of the ocean and the secrets of the land Are held, by her great knowledge, in the hollow of her hand. Now Miss Killiam though her name sounds cruel, Is one of the best teachers in this school. She teaches Geometry and also Trig. Which proves, you see, that her brain is big. As you all know, without a doubt, Mrs. Pope puts poor English to rout. When she draws near, why then you see The murderers of the King’s English flee. If you want to know what the Freshies do, Ask Miss Lankford in Room 2. She’s civilizing ’em by keeping ’em quiet And feeding ’em on a Latin diet. And there’s Miss Sheek, who’s lost her heart To drawing and painting and all kinds of art. Neither a winter’s snow nor a sunset sky Ever escapes her artistic eye. 14 Miss Porter teaches typing and Gregg Shorthand too She ' s a conscientious teacher, yet she ' s human thru and thru. She tries to keep us going but she helps us when we fall When it comes to rating teachers she ' s the “bestest of them all. Now Miss Maloy can wield a saw In the department where her word is law. The boys all say she wo ks like a Turk, And they highly praise her handiwork. Here ' s to Miss Adams who does her part, In the teaching of Commercial art. She does her best to keep us straight And in business forms she’s up-to-date. Miss Morris with her p ' s and q ' s, And x y z ' s and l ' s and 2 ' s, Teaches Algebra with painstaking care. Toward all she is just, fair and square. Now Miss Jacobs with her General Science At all poor Freshies hurls defiance. She tells them why a boat has sails And why bad men are put in jails. Sociology is the name That to Miss Nock has brought much fame. There is no problem of the race But what she’s taught us how to face. Miss Sexton believes in air clean and pure. Her hobby is the Fresh Air Cure. She teaches English every day, But still finds time for out-door play. In Room 5 around the corner, Physics is taught by Mr. Garner. He expounds his text like a Henry Clay, But now I ' ll close for I ' ve “sed me say. G. JONES. 15 L. W. GUNBY W. B. MILLE?. Pres. BOARD OF EDUCATION The Board of Education, under the efficient leadership of Mr. J. M. Bennett, has done much to promote the progress and interest of the schools of this county. JAMES M. BENNETT County Supt. 16 17 In writing the history of the illustrious class of 1922, I realize my in¬ ability to cope with such a weighty subject and at the same time do jus¬ tice to those concerned. I trust you will not judge my weak efforts with the eyes of a critic, but, on the other hand, look upon them in a friendly manner. Some historians say that “History is a record of past events,” while more definitely speaking it is a connected story of the progress of civiliza¬ tion. While some emphasis is laid upon wars, more prominence is given to social and political conditions. We, too, as a class and as individuals, have fought many battles during our four years at W. H. S.; not battles fought with the sword, gun or any other weapon, but a warfare against sel¬ fishness, vanity, envy, hatred, and all forms of evil prone to the human heart. As a class we have striven day by day in the class room to accom¬ plish the work assigned by our teachers and we believe our efforts have not been in vain, as we hope at least to mount one round of the ladder, which is an indication of progress. Our relations socially have teen most pleasant. How ofteh have we realized during the years that the mingling of the members at the various little social festivities, where we show ourselves without a mask, has meant much to us in the development of character. We have ever been mindful of the protecting care and untiring efforts of those in author ity to discipline us in order to prod uce harmony and direct our steps aright. And now let me take you back to the year 1917 when we, a class of fifty st ong, were sent to W. H. S. from the Grammar School owing to the over-ciowded conditions there. We entered with fear and trembling this higher institution of learning as members of the seventh grade, but at the same time we were proud of the fact that our names had been entered on the roll of W. H. S.—our one great goal. The faculty and Prof. Clark were very kind to us and assisted us in every possible way. Under the guidance of the faculty, Prof. Clark, and our staunch friend and class advisor, Miss Ruth Powell, we soon overcame our timidity and found our place in the school routine. IS Our Freshman year was one of rivalry. We were determined to keep pace with the Sophomores in every line of school activity. In the Victory Girls and Victory Boys Campaign, which was organized at this time, we made for ourselves a record. We also carried off the honors in athletics. Under the leadership of our class advisor, Miss Madge Hayman, we pre¬ sented a play entitled “Whiskers.” Here many of our present Senior “stars” were initiated to the stage. The following year the majority of our members returned as full- fledged Sophs., realizing our importance as all Sophs, do. With our prev¬ ious training for theatricals we were able to stage two very fine plays dur¬ ing this year: “Dinner at Six” and “Miss Typewriter Lady.” It was Miss Wilson who had brought us safely through another year. The fall of 1920 found us at W. H. S. enrolled as members of the Jun¬ ior class. A large percentage of our class answered the urgent call of the business world and entered the Commercial department. Under the direc¬ tion of Miss Ruth Powell a Junior Cafeteria was organized. This was well patronized. The financial success of this organization made it possible for the Juniors to entertain the members of the faculty and Senior class at a sumptuous banquet near the close of the school year. With the kind assistance of our class advisor, Miss Lankford, we gave to the students two plays—“Gassaway’s Freaks” and “The Teeth of the Gift Horse.” We entered our Senior year with glad hearts yet with a feeling of deep regret when we realized that soon we would be leaving W. H. S. and those with whom we had been so happily associated. Early in the fall of 1921 we held our class meeting and elected our officers. Mr. Garner was chosen class advisor. With his assistance we presented a comedy “A Watch, a Wallet, and a Jack of Spades” to the students. At the beginning of the second semester new class officers were elected. At this time Miss Bloxom was elected class advisor. It has been through her untiring efforts and kind assistance that we have been able to “cany on” so many successful undertakings in this, the last half of our Senior year. To Miss Ruth Powell we wish to express our hearty appreciation for all she has done for us during the years we have been at W. H. S. To all our teachers we owe a debt of gratitude, for much of our success is due to them. They believed loafing to be a menace to the nation and consequently gave us plenty of work to accomplish. Thus with ever varying fortunes we have come through the years to¬ gether and now we are approaching the climax. Soon we will separate to the four winds of the heavens. As we go forth into the world to make a name for ourselves let us ever keep in mind our class motto: “By our labors we hope to succeed.” VIRGINIA HOLLIDAY, Historian. 19 SENIOR CLASS Everette Hearne, President Rosalie Freeny, Vice President Mary Griffith, Secretary David Wroten, Treasurer Miss Lois C.

This is Bertha, our Editor-in-Chief, a natural born leader. She is first in this book as she is first in everything. The great responsibility that falls on the shoulders of the one at the head of the “Tatler,” has been efficiently held by Bertha. She knew what to do and when to do. We all wish that we had her power of concentration. She never loses her head like we do, but she always Nevertheless she shocks us all once in a while by her childish actions which do not at all agree with her dignified position in the Senior Class. However, as we can be young only once we suppose this accounts for it. And really if you looked the world over we do not believe that you could find any one person more loyal and true to her class and classmates than Bertha. Choral Club Editor-in-Chief Vice-president of Athletic Association ‘‘A cheerful heart is a good medicine.” Helen Mildred Bailey Salisbury, Md. You can always tell Helen by her rosy cheeks and sunny smile. Usually she does more than smile; hence the appropriate nick¬ name. At certain times of the day Helen is very sober and gloom over-spreads the erstwhile smiling and carefree countenance. And it is all on account of that infernal trial balance. The only trouble with it, as a rule, is that it is simply unaccommodating and will not balance. But in her misery Helen will find consolation, for there are many fellow sufferers. Helen is quite an accomplished actress, for in every play which the class has presented, she has taken an important part. Being talkative and amiable, her portrayal of the Irish is excellent. We gladly recommend Helen as an efficient typist, since she holds an enviable record for accuracy in the manipulation of typewriter keys. Cheer Leader Volley Ball Team looks calm and peaceful. 21 “He who is firm in will molds the world to himself ” Everette E. Hearne Salisbury, Md. Behold, the president of the Senior Class! We can gladly say that he holds this office through personal merit. His efficiency and decisiveness have raised the standard of ac¬ tion of the Senior Class to a higher level than we have seen for some time. Everette has a most pleasing disposition, always ready and willing to help anybody at any time. He sacrifices his much-needed time to repair typewriters, attend to his many offices, and many odd jobs which the teachers ask him to do. Gen¬ iality makes a pleasing personality. Again we have to remark on Everette’s efficiency, when we note his record as Treasurer of the Athletic Association. Due to his untiring ef¬ forts the sale of membership tickets was accomplished with success. We believe that his training and experience here will give him an opportunity to succeed in responsible positions of business management. President of the Senior Class Asst . Business Manager of the “Tatler” Treasurer of the Athletic Association “My tongue ivithin my lips I rein , For ivho talks much must talk in vain yt Elva May Baker Parsonsburg, Md. Elva is a person who lives very system¬ atically. She does exactly as the teachers direct, and therefore goes through the daily routine of lessons without mishap or mis¬ demeanor. Only once did she prove dis¬ obedient. She completed more work in her bookkeeping than Miss Adams had assigned. As this was a first offense, Elva was readily pardoned. Perhaps some of the others may get an inspiration and commit a similar of¬ fense. It would be a good method of improving class work. Elva comes from Parsonsburg and that undoubtedly accounts for her superior intelligence. She is the champion stenographer of the Commercial class. No matter how fast Miss Porter gave dictation, Elva always man¬ aged to get it, while the rest of us could only stare blankly at her. System is the one word that will fully describe Elva. This character¬ istic makes her an ideal stenographer and we are sure that her efforts will financially benefit the firm that secures her expert services. 22 “Devoted, anxious, generous, void of guile And with her whole heart ' s welcome in her smile” Mary Blanche Bounds Salisbury, Md. Now when Blanche likes a person, it ' s ‘Move me, love my dog,” so if you want things to run smoothly between you and her, say that everything “he” does is perfectly all right. Blanche is the only person in our class who had spunk enough to say that she knew everything that could be learned about Mathematics. Now, we doubt her word, but you don ' t have to say we do, because what she does not know won’t hurt her. Blanche’s hair always looks as if it has just been combed. You will call this a wonder until we tell you that she sometimes combs her hair when she is in the car coming to school. Did you think a woman could do that? But we would miss Blanche if she left us in the lurch, so we wish her good luck and happiness in all her undertakings. “Rough and ready any day But he ahvays obeys what the ladies say” James H. Bounds, Jr. Salisbury, Md. Jim must be entirely convinced of a thing before he will believe it, but when he be¬ lieves anything he is surely completely con¬ vinced. He has a Ford car which he is very fond of using, especially when it comes to taking certain people riding or home after parties. Jim is a carpenter of some repute having .accomplished wonders in that line. (A “won¬ der” is a piece of furniture of which Miss Maloy approves). Some day we expect to see Jim building a cute, little bungalow for his bride and himself. Now what do you suppose she will do if Jim has one of his obstinate and stubborn spells? But perhaps by the time he marries, she will have tamed him down. We hope by his perseveiance and stubbornness he may sometime reach the high and mighty position as President of the United States. 23 “Tlio strong for any athletic thing His deep, bass voice makes the building ring.” Elmer Glenwood Brown Fruitland, Md. Brownie is always given the seat of honor in Choral Club on account of his marvelous bass voice. We are quite proud of our young Chalmers. We hope his voice will never fail him, but if it should we stand ready to rec¬ ommend him for the position of serving tea to the ladies. Elmer is another of our Soccer boys known afar by his yellow sweater. When¬ ever he makes a blunder (which happens very seldom) his wrath rages and boils and he never cools off until he makes a good kick, and then all the Seniors yell, “Yeh, Brownie, yeh.” Now we all have discovered that Brownie loves W. H. S. and that he likes to comes to school. When we had the worst snow storm in twenty years, this winter, Elmer walked all the way from Fruitland to town, through all that deep snow, just to come to school. Isn’t that proof enough? Soccer Team Base Ball Team Track Team Athletic Editor of “Tatler ” Choral Club “By my troth, a pleasant spirited lady! There’s little of the melancholy in her.” Martha Celeste Brewington Salisbury, Md. One of the most wonderful assets of hu¬ man nature is a smile. Be able to smile in the face of reverses, of defeat, and the world will seem an appropriate place for life, af¬ ter all. We do not think Martha is an optimist or vamp, accoiding to the nature of her smiles. It is just her pleasant outlook on life and its obstacles. We wonder if Everette is an obstacle or an objective in her life. It is known, however, that she directs many of those smiles to this oasis in the desert of human countenances of the Commercial Room. Martha is certainly a credit to the Commercial Department. A smile and good humor, combined with tenacity of purpose will turn a fortune, so we sincerely believe that Martha will prove valuable to her future em¬ ployer. 24 “He’s very fond of one named Bess We’ll leave the rest for you to guess.’’ Jesse Thomas Bratten Pittsville, Md. By the nickname “Runt” you might think that Jesse is quite a dwarf but far from it. He stands as high as anyone in our class, that is, in height. In History class he never sits straight in his seat but he always turns halfway around and looks toward the back of the room, though Mr. Cordrey usually stands in front of the class. Why do you suppose that he does this—to avoid Mr. Cordrey’s piercing gaze? No, that isn’t the reason. “She” sits in the back of the room. Jesse is quite an athlete even though he didn’t make the first Soccer team last fall. In his practicing however, we find that it isn’t his fault that he is not a professional athlete. His failure was just bad luck. Pittsville may justly be proud to claim this member of our class. We never did know before that Pittsville sent out such good students as a few who have entered our class this year. “Few things are impossible to diligence and skill.” Josephine Olga Brittingham Salisbury, Md. When you behold the picture above just think what a wonderful girl, Olga is. She is the Champion Typist of the Commercial room and her speed won for her a medal, given by the Underwood Typewriter Com¬ pany. However, she does not spend all her time working. Olga is very fond of visiting Dennis’s Shoe store, either to try on shoes or buy shoe strings and that isn’t the only rea¬ son she goes there. She also goes to see ?— maybe you can guess. In almost every play that has been given, Olga has been chosen to take the part of Bridget or one of the colored servants, as she is especially good in this role. As Olga has always been a good English student, we do not wonder that she has been chosen Assistant Literary Editor and she has done much to promote the sale of our “Tatler.” Assistant Literary Editor of the “Tatler.” 25 “Describe him who can, An abridgment of all that was pleasant in man.” George Lester Byrd Salisbury, Md. You are now gazing at a perfect gentle¬ man, steady and persevering. His last name does not suggest it, for you would naturally think from that, that he leads a very flighty life, but names do not always make the man. Lester is one of our champion Soccer play¬ ers. He is a regular star, but he shines in the daytime as well as at night. He is part¬ ly known for his “Thank you” and “Excuse me” which he never fails to use even on the Soccer field. He has so many honored positions in school that we would not be sur¬ prised to see him a trifle mixed up some day in his calculations, but he has such a business brain that we suppose this would be impossible. As Busi¬ ness Manager we have found in him everything that could be needed and desired. Anyone should be proud to know this young man, and we hope all of our readers will have the pleasure of knowing him as we do. Business Manager of “Tatler” Manager Soccer Team Track Team Manager Basket Ball Team Pres, of Athletic Association President Tennis Club “We live by admiration, hope and love.” Mary Jane Cathell Fruitland, Md. This member of the Commercial depart¬ ment comes to us from the city of Fruitland. Mary Jane is one of the many vamps of our class. Not satisfied with capturing all the boys in Fruitland, she has come here to try her charms on some of Salisbury’s bright young men. She and Miss Ruth have never been able to agree on one subject—that of hair-dress¬ ing. Mary Jane insists that she cannot comb her hair without ruffing it, and Miss Ruth insists othe rwise. She admires bright colors and unique patterns, and frequently ap¬ pears in a new cap, sash or sweater which are admirably suited to her style. We know that a successful future awaits such a charming and at¬ tractive young lady. 26 “The word impossible is not in my vocabu¬ lary:’ Clara Beatrice Chandler Salisbury, Md. Now when it comes to English, Beatrice is “Johnny on the spot.” She can tell you any¬ thing from the parts of speech to the life of Shakespeare. And in sewing she is Miss Ruth II. When we look at her sewing we turn with a sigh and a gaze upon our own. Flaws that were unnoticed before now be¬ come apparent and we give up in despair. Beatrice’s nickname is very suitable, for she is just like a bee—always busy. But she has her faults and the most prominent one is that she hardly ever speaks unless she is spoken to. However if she never has a worse fault than this we feel sure that success will be hers. Beatrice with your golden locks And your bright blue eyes, % Perhaps some day you’ll be darning socks About number eleven in size. “7 live for the future in the distance 1 live for the good that I can do.” Charles Stanley Chandler Salisbury, Md. Stanley is so huge in stature that one would naturally expect him to have a brain in proportion to his size. Well, he comes up to everyone’s expectation for though he gen¬ erally makes one wait for an answer, we know that his brain is working busily be¬ hind those serious blue eyes. “Leave it to Stanley” is right. He will do work intrusted to him as well as anyone could wish it done. Nothing is difficult for Stanley because he perseveres steadily at his tasks until they are finished and finished well. This may be one reason for his great success in Man¬ ual Training. He can construct anything—checker boards, tables, chests, chiffoniers or floor lamps. Each is given his undivided attention and is perfectly modeled and made. Soon we look forward to seeing a model home being built on a model farm by a model carpenter and farmer—Stanley. i 27 “The world knows nothing of its greatest men” Winfred Joshua Cooper Salisbury, Md. Though Cuties is quite a young gentleman having recently put on long trousers, we al¬ ways think of him as a little boy. His “Haw-Haws” are heard above every¬ one else’s especially in English Class. He finally laughed so much that Mrs. Pope gave him the privilege of sitting next to her desk. And again in Physics Class his funny re¬ marks are generally received with laughter and slips. Lately Cutie and Manson had an argument over a fountain pen and a knife. After they had argued all period, Manson challenged Cutie for a duel on the hospital grounds as he said that Cutie would either have to be taken there as a patient or a corpse, but later a compromise was agreed upon which settled the exciting affair. Next fall Cutie intends to enter school at Annapolis and we hope that he will have as great success there in his many controversies and disputes, as he has had here. “Happy in this: that she is not yet so old , But that she may learn” Marie Wilson Davis Salisbury, Md. In Marie, we have another skilled opera¬ tor of that piece of mechanism called a type¬ writer. She has passed the 40-word mark and is still going strong. In a few days Ma¬ rie will be the proud recipient of one oL those designators of typing speed—a bronze medal from the Underwood Typewriter Com¬ pany. But Marie has her drawbacks. Her short¬ hand notes seem to lose their shape during the lapse of time between dictation and transcription. As Marie is not an archaeologist, we cannot expect her to transcribe her notes with one hun¬ dred per cent accuracy. But as it is, she seems to have a hard job at trans¬ cription. By the end of the year Marie ought to be quite an experienced Egyptologist. Her frequent visits to a down town jewelry store have aroused our suspicions, but such alarms soon fade away and are lost in the abyss of time. 28 “Agree with me , you ' re ivise, Disagree , you ' re an idiot.” Elizabeth Beatrice Coulbourn Salisbury, Mel. Lizzie is a person who is full of “pep” and fire. Just say one word in opposition and you are in the danger zone. When Lizzie starts on the warpath, she will never give up until she obtains the scalp of her adver¬ sary. Ask Edison for further evidence. What will the High School ever do with¬ out Elizabeth to take part in the class plays? As an experimenting young miss, or a help¬ ful spouse of some poor tired working man, she plays an excellent role. Probably she would be a star as Katharine in the Shakespearean play, “The Taming of the Shrew.” “Work before play” is Lizzie’s motto. She does not let her fun inter¬ fere with her school work. She mingles both in a proportion that one will help in the accomplishment of the other. Volley Ball Team. (i The wish to knoiv—that endless Thirsty Still urged me onwardy with Desire Insatiate to explore , inquire.” Thomas Scott Davis Quantico, Md. Thomas came all the way from sunny California to W. H. S. He joined our class during our Junior year, and from the repu¬ tation he has made since he h as been with us we often wonder how we would have got¬ ten along without him. Tom is one of the best Commercial stu¬ dents of the school. His success is due to his insatiable thirst for knowledge and to his ability and perseverance. Nothing short of perfection satisfies him. He entered our school highly recommended as an athlete, and he has not only lived up to his reputation but has ever exceeded our expectations. He was one of the bright stars of the Soccer team; he could always be de¬ pended uoon to make a goal, if any goal was possible. We heartily recommend him for any profession he may choose. Soccer Team Track Team Capt. Basket Ball Team Associate Editor of “Tatler” 29 “It talks —hoxo it talks . Nancy Sinclair Dennis Salisbury, Md. Somewhat like a gypsy, so slim and dark, but otherwise Nancy is just a girl of the class of ' 22. Her giggle has often caused us to wonder whether or not she takes lessons from chickens or mocks tiny tinkling bells. Here are a few questions to which Nancy can not find answers: How is it possible to be popular if one always dances correctly? How can one comb one ' s hair without ruf¬ fing it, if it isn ' t bobbed? How can one study French if one hates it? How can one prevent the boys ' smiles when one is attractive? In all plays in which a French maid is needed, Nancy is always sought, as she is so chic and just the type for such a character. She is also witty, talkative and “on the go which three qualities appeal especially to the op¬ posite sex. Nancy is one of the three of the Brunette Trio. This Trio is always seen together at the same place and at the same time. It is part of the life and pep of the Senior Class. “A very soldierly type of man He will do for you all that he can.” Ralph Richard Elliott Salisbury, Md. On Ralph ' s forehead can be seen what you have heard of without a doubt, as a cow lick. It is a sign that once in that person ' s life, his forehead has been licked by a cow. This is the only proof we can give to you that any¬ one has ever “licked Ralph. He is thor¬ oughly capable of taking care of himself as one can see by his soldierly carriage. He can fight his own battles and paddle his own canoe. He is now wavering in mind. “Shall I be a farmer or a school teach¬ er? he asks himself. He is partial to the latter but the former may get him yet as he has been accustomed to farming all his life. Whatever occupation Ralph may choose when he finishes school, we are sure that his success is assured, so we wish him good luck. Soccer Team Base Ball Team 30 ‘7 will study and prepare myself and some¬ day my chance will come.” Marian Louise English Mardela, Md. We have a no more conscientious student than Marian. She studies as if driven by a whip and if she misses a lesson or makes a mistake, she thinks she is ruined forever, until she sees her report. Then she settles down a bit, but before each report arrives you will always find her in the same condi¬ tion—nearly chilled to death from fright. Marian has graduated twice, having fin¬ ished the tenth grade at Mardela and then, coming here to get more knowledge, graduated again. As knowledge is power, what a successful and intelligent person Marian will be in the future! She is a general favorite when test time comes for she always has her note-books ready as well as her brain. Thus these three things com¬ bined-brains, conscience and preparedness, go to make up our brilliant class mate—Marian. “Her father keeps a jewelry store So what can Maud be but one of his jewels.” Maude Patterson Fisher Salisbury, Md. We might give a bright comparison of Maude to a sparkling gem, but will just say that she belongs to us, the class of 1922, and let that be sufficient praise. One could real¬ ly think Maude a jewel sometimes for she certainly does believe in helping her father advertise his goods. Whenever a new fad in jewelry comes to town one is sure to see Maude either wearing it or carrying it. Maude also has very artistic ideas and her dresses are always of the latest and most fashionable styles. Much to her sorrow, skirts are getting longer but she must keep pace with Dame Fash¬ ion, so down go her skirts. Maude is very witty and she puts forth her wit and talent in writing novels and detective stories. When they are read in class, we sit wrapped in amazement and excitement, and wait impatiently for the conclusion. How she is able to produce such marvelous tales we cannot discover, but we know, however, that we have a young and budding author in our class. We predict for her a successful literary career. “A wee small maiden, trimly built.” Daisy Disharoon Salisbury, Md. Here, at least, is one person in the class to whom Miss Ruth has never said, “Daisy, is your hair ruffed?” or “Daisy, have you rouge on your face?” for she has never been guilty of either of these horrible things. She is a shy, modest little girl (in looks at least). Daisy is the constant companion of Grell, and you can hardly ever see one without see¬ ing the other. In fact, Grell finds Daisy al¬ most invaluable to her, for she calls Day her “private secretary.” Daisy says that she is never going to get married but is going to set¬ tle down and live quietly at home with her mother, but we can’t believe her, for if she is like her sister “Mike”, she will have lots of beaux after she leaves school. Daisy is quite a card shark, for when the card club, organized by the Commercial class met, Daisy was always the winning member. We hope she will be as “lucky” in her business career as she is at cards. “The girls call him street, and the very steps on which he treads, kiss his feet.” Bruce Vernon Dickinson Salisbury, Md. Look and behold the class artist and there¬ fore Art Editor of this Tatler. He can draw anything from a box to a ship and the won¬ derful thing about it is that he likes to draw and paint. He has certain moods when he doesn’t want to draw and sometimes he would rather go joy-riding or go to a dance. When like this he is really incapable of drawing, which shows that he has a char¬ acter like a great many famous artists whom you have read about. Still he has time left from his work to adore Katherine. They have quite a case and we can surely see that the fly will walk unhesitatingly straight into the spider’s web. Though K. is not in our class, Bruce knows that she is a bright and shining light in the Junior Class. A great future is prophesied for Bruce and you may expect before long to see his name in all the papers and magazines telling of his won¬ derful works, and how he has made a career equal to that of the most famous artists. Art Editor of “Tatler” Track Team Choral Club 32 “We love you much , we love you well, Our dainty little rustic bell ” Mabel Hilda Fooks Salisbury, Md. There are exceptions to all rules. This fact seems to fit Mabel perfectly. She is excep¬ tionally quiet and modest, especially in that noisy commercial room. While others at¬ tract the reprimands of Miss Adams and Miss Porter, Mabel is seldom heard. These facts lead us to another exceptional quality of Mabel ' s. Being quiet and studious she has a remarkably high standing in all her studies. Typewriting seems to be her strongest point. She can hardly claim to be a speed king, but she has wonderful control of her fingers which rarely ever hit the wrong key. This, by the way, is another exceptional characteristic of typist students. Mabel lives in the country and her rosy cheeks show it. She fairly glows with the radiance of health; the result of plenty of fresh air and exercise. This is somewhat of an exception itself. In short, Mabel seems to be an extraordinary specimen of humanity, which, considering all, is quite an honor. “You will succeed if you have really tried , Tho you have many trials and are often mor- tified Rosalie Ellegood Freeny Salisbury, Md. She once had long and golden tresses, but now they’re short and bobbed. Such a crime she has committed in Miss Ruth’s sight, but we all think she looks quite cute. How we would all like to enjoy the ease and youthful¬ ness which one has with bobbed hair but alas—it cannot be done. The least thing mortifies Rosalie to death. Rosalie isn’t at all crazy about boys. In fact, she declares that they bore her, but why do we always see her listen¬ ing attentively to their conversation and laughing and talking to them? Perhaps this is done to make them dislike her? Wowo is a good old scout anyway and we appreciate the fact that she was brilliant and learned enough to skip classes until she joined our ranks. Here she stopped and has remained in our company ever since. Girls ' Athletic Editor of “Tatler.” Vice-Pres. Class 33 the Commercial class. “Those about her From her shall read the perfect, way of honor.” Flossie Belle Gordy Salisbury, Md. Flossie is the one member of our class that we never saw get angry and speak without thinking. No matter what anybody says to provoke her she always has a pleasant word and smile for them. She was always saying, “Oh! I know I won’t pass in that book,” or “I’m sure I fail¬ ed in this test, but she usually succeeded in getting better marks than anybody else in Flossie is not a frivolous, careless student but rather heard” type, one who thinks before she speaks. “a seen and not • r u ambltlon 1S to be a Perfect stenographer and we know she will gain the highest rung in the ladder of success in her chosen profession. No duty could o’ertake her, no need her will outrun , Or ere our lips could ask her, her hands the work had done” Mary Elizabeth Griffith Allen, Md. By her sunny disposition and her cheery smile with which she greets everyone, she has won the affection and the highest esteem of hei classmates. The one very peculiar characteristic of her smile is that it increases with “Payne.” She is a very essential member of the class since she holds the important office of secre¬ tary and she is present at each meeting to record the affairs of the class. well M wT f ' ' T hel S Mr - Cordrey in the office which work she performs . confldeat that this experience will prove very beneficial to in securing a position after she leaves Wicomico High School. Secretary Senior Class. 34 “With a bit of fire and lots of spunk, And the highest hopes that never sunk.” Katharyn Elizabeth Harmon Salisbury, Md. Kitty could be rightly named Wildfire. She flies up one minute and then settles down the next. She hates a person one minute and loves him the next. She has decided opin¬ ions that are hard to change no matter what anyone says, and sometimes her free spoken manner gets her in “Dutch.” Kitty is a great help to us in Physics class. She asks questions all period which keep Mr. Garner so busy that he has no time left to ask ques¬ tions. She has many and various accomplishments, too. She is one of our famous orators and debateis, giving us many problems and questions to think about. Then, she is a regular cook and housekeeper which some young man will some day appreciate. Last but not least, she is a prospec¬ tive teacher and by her ability now we know that she will be sought after by all School Boards who desire a thoroughly capable and efficient teacher. Asst. Humorous Editor Choral Club. “Do noble deeds, not dream them all day long.” Ethel Hearne Willards, Md. Ethel, with her slow speech and dreamy eyes, is a very fascinating person, having not only a pretty face but also a charming man¬ ner. We sometimes wonder if she isn’t really a bad fairy in disguise, who is trying to hypnotize our minds and cause us to think more of her than of our lessons. We suppose that Ethel must be short of tongue though abounding in brains, for of all the wonderful thoughts that she acquires, she tells us none. However she does tell us a joke now and then to bright¬ en our sad and care-filled lives. In French class one might think that she is deaf and dumb for she dreams so much that she hears no questions and answers none. Eth comes all the way from the wonderful city of Willards to attend our over-crowded High School. Now if she would stay at home, we would have one student less. But could we do without Ethel? Well, we should say not. 35 Time and tide wait for no man; Neither does Virginia.” Virginia Anne Holliday Salisbury, Md. Jinny is a very nice and obliging person, especially when anyone wishes to borrow something. It makes no difference whether it is a sheet of paper or a sum of money; she usually lets them have it—with the consid¬ eration that it be returned with interest. Virginia id quite a speed artist on the typewriter, having reached the forty word goal, and thereby winning the bronze med¬ al. She is looking for greater fields of con¬ quest. Who knows but that Mr. Hossfeld will have to surrender his championship crown to Va. this fall? Virginia’s strongest rival is Olga These two girls are racing abreast for speed honors. Like the rest of us however, Virginia has her drawbacks. She simply can’t keep the machine from making errors. If Jinny were a boy, every college and university would be seeking her for entrance. She takes part in athletics with a zest that would do credit to the most zealous of male athletics. Last year she was a member of the Volley Team that completed in Baltimore. We certainly wish her the same success this year, which in all probability she will accomplish. Class Historian. Choral Club. “I profess not talking, only this, Let each man do his best. Ethel Catharyn Holloway Quantico, Md. “A person is judged by deed not words,” says Ethel, and we actually believe that she means what she says. In class she is loath to speak and we are afraid this silence will cause her to be classified with those who lack knowledge, so we advise her to be a little more talkative. Ethel thinks a great deal about a certain person. Of course, she never says anything about him, but silence and blushes tell us that our conclusions are not without grounds When Ethel begins to teach, for this is her chosen vocation, we know that her pupils will profit by the knowledge and data which she has stored away in her brain during her school life. And then she will show us how it pays to keep silent instead of laughing and chattering all day long. 3(5 Volley Ball Team. “There is time for some things , there is time for all things, there is time for great things and a time for small things.” Gladys Louise Hunt Salisbury, Md. Such a slow, good-natured person! Slow but sure was the tortoise and what did he do? Why he won, of course, and that ' s the way with Gladys. She will have to win, for in every undertaking, she is first sure then she goes ahead. Gladys has about the same re¬ putation in Domestic Science that Beatrice has, so you know how well she can sew. Gladys and Beatrice are in one way like the Siamese twins, they are always seen together, no matter whether it is raining or clear. Gladys has such a long walk to school that we wonder how she manages to arrive on time every morning. Our reason for won¬ dering is on account of her slowness. The following lines are applicable to Gladys: One who is slow, but always sure Is hard to beat and can always endure, Tho, trouble comes fast, they are taken with ease, For the persons who are slow do as they please. “Frame thy mind to merriment , which bars a thousand harms , and lengthens life ” Allan Smith Huston Salisbury, Md. Toby is a regular ladies man. Wherever you see him you may expect to see some of the opposite sex near. He seems especially at¬ tentive to the teachers and is frequently seen escorting some of them home. Toby is in Company I, and whenever the Company gives a dance he is always there, for if there is anything he likes to do it is dance with pretty girls. Now, he says that he never did see any need of studying hard, “We only live once so why not enjoy life, and con¬ sequently he sometimes does not have his lessons prepared. He is very witty and frequently has the class giggling at some foolish remark. He says that the ambition of his life is to find some beautiful girl that thinks a fat man the ideal kind of a husband. We wish him suc¬ cess. Capt. Base Ball Team. Choral Club. 37 “A merry heart thou hast, and kind.” Lena Marie Hearne Salisbury, Md. Leny is a “happy-go-lucky” person who always wears a smile no matter what hap¬ pens. She is by no means a “grind” for she has frequently been heard to say, “Well, girls, I have a party on for every night this week.” And yet, she usually arrived at school each morning bright and early with lessons prepared. But, seriously, if one may be pardoned for being serious on the subject of Leny, she is Johnny-on-the-spot when it comes to help wanted. Lena has not yet decided what profession she will enter. We wish her much success and great happiness in whatever choice she may make. “Whence is thy learning? Hath thy toil o’er books consumed the midnight oil?” Paul Elisha Huffington Allen, Md. Paul is a good, faithful and brilliant stu¬ dent. We are proud to say he is a member of our class and we would like to say that he is of Salisbury instead of Allen. Lately, Paul has developed talent in sleight-of-hand, and he uses this as a means of amusing girls, but not boys as, of course, they have brains and can see through the tricks. He is ever ready to help us with our Phys¬ ics problems which nearly cause our hair to turn gray. He is especially fond of helping Kitty and we notice that she has more trouble with these problems than most of us. Is there any rea¬ son for this? Paul has such wonderful reasoning powers and common sense that he can be introduced as a great philosopher. In a short time he will make his home town boast of having produced him and cause the world to sit up and take notic e. Associate Editor of “Tatler.” 38 “Straight forward and polite as a gentleman should be, Describes this young man whom we call Kirby.”” George Thomas Hitch Salisbury, Md. Since Kirby joined our Physics class we have discovered that he is not quite an angel as we thought at first, but more of the type of men that lives on earth. However, we re¬ spect him just as much as we did in the be¬ ginning. As opposites attract, of course, you will know that George is partial to brunettes, (particulary one brunette). In the trade of watch and clock mending, he is about perfect. Just tell him how tardy you have been at your work and he will take your watch to the store, repair it and bring it back to you. Then see if you don’t save yourself much trouble and embarrassment by always arriving on time. We predict for this member of our class a very successful career as a jeweler. “The Generous God to you gave sense, good humor and a poet.” Grace Irene Jones Salisbury, Md. Ladies and Gentlemen, your attention for a moment, please. We have here a specimen of the fast-disappearing element which bare¬ ly exists in this high school and disturbs the lazy routine by displaying a great amount of intellectual ability. Such is Grace Jones, the best all-round student of the Commercial class. Her remarkable work in all her stud¬ ies has caused many flunkers to wag their heads and say, “She won’t last long.” But Grace has defied all prophecies. Her brain seems to be a huge reservoir of knowledge. In fact, stu¬ dents seem to take her for a “walking dictionary,” for if they ever want the definition of a word, which is not infrequent, they always go to Grace and she never fails to supply the desired information. The many offices that Grace holds are well deserved and were cer¬ tainly placed in competent hands. We feel sure that her contributions to the “Tatler” this year will be a source of pleasure and an object of ap¬ preciation for those who read them. Humorous Editor of “Tatler” Class Poet Class Orator Volley Ball Team 39 “There is more in me than thou under - stand’st” Harry Edison Kenyon Hebron, Md. If one did not know Dutchv, wed he mi ' rht be deceived as to his real nature, for in man¬ ner he is somewhat gruff, but one has only to become acquainted with him to appreciate his fine qualities. Dutchy, W 2 think, could not be considered a grind, for he is always ready to mingle in any fun that is going on. However, he is thoroughly proficient in his work. This class boasts of having many ath¬ letic stars among its members. One of the brightest of these is Edison. He plays on the baseball team, and on the basketball team. We are glad he came to us from Hebron and we wish him not only a profitable but a happy future. Base Ball Team. Basket Ball Team. “May her ivorth ivin hearts and her con¬ stancy keep them .” Mary Aline Mitchell Salisbury, Md. Cherie is about the smallest member of our class, but “the best quality always comes in small packages,” and this is the case with her. She is an exceptionally good student. Why, she positively makes the other students of the academic class blush with shame at the way she excels in reading French and Latin. To our minds Cherie is just about perfect, for she seems to have no faults, but this must not be true foi there is always “ a little bit of bad in every good little girl.” Although small, she has a will of iron, and can be very stern at times (with most people, Kitty excepted) and we suppose this is the way she will manage the boys and girls she will teach in the near future, for she intends to be a school ’maim. Let us hope she will not be too hard on the little dears, for “children will be children.” Cherie is very good in athletics and has made a record for herself on the Volley Ball team. We know that such a person as she has before her a bright and successful future. lAterary Editor of “Tatler.” Choral Club. 40 “To sum up all, be merry I advise.” Lala Lee Messick Allen, Md. If you fear that you will make a remark whose humor will escape the class, depend on Lala. She will giggle sufficiently to make up for the entire body. Keep healthy by gigg¬ ling, is Lala’s motto, and by looking at her you will know that it really works. She uses no cosmetics as might be supposed, but her rosy cheeks are caused by the long ride on the transit from Allen every morning. Marian and Lala are inseparable. They spend their whole hour talking about Bounds and Shivers. Aren’t they lovely topics? You cannot, we suppose, see any sense to such but we have at last learned their significance and perhaps you will at some future time. Lala, written like this: la-la makes you think of music doesn’t it? So hereafter when you are thinking of music, Lala’s name will pop into your mind and as everyone has a song in his heart almost everyday, we know that you will often think of Lala. “Though you blush and your cheeks turn red as a rose, The thoughts in your mind nobody knows.” Helen Margaret Jones Salisbury, Md. Polly is one of the girls whom Miss Ruth p uses of using one word entire ly too often. This word is “he.” But Polly always denies this and says that she is speaking of teachers. Polly never thinks that she is blushing but you should see her. Ask her anything or tell her something and her cheeks will become as crimson as the sky at sunrise. Especially does she blush in Physics class and who could help it when those hypnotic eyes of Mr. Garner look at you? But, in spite of her faults, Helen is a jolly person whom everyone likes. Helen has recently learned to play Volley Ball and is very proud of her abi ' ity to make goals. She has a very changeable mind for she can never decide on one thing until the last minute. If she attends all the colleges she has planned, we think her hair will be gray when she graduates. 41 “If it is not seemly, do it not; if it is not true, speak it not ” James Robert Mitchell Wetipquin, Md. The two most important points about all our boys seem to be that they are both gentle¬ men and ath’etes. Of course, Jim is the for¬ mer, but he excels in the latter. His long legs make them capable of many stunts and he runs like a jack rabbit. On the Soccer field, he runs after the ball, stops, makes you angry and the first thing you know away scoots the ball, kicked by Jim. You might think that Jim holds the world on his shoulders like Atlas if you should see him sitting with his drooping shoulders and dejected air. But he is really afraid that “she” won’t pay any attention to him. This ought to make any fellow sad and melancholy, don’t you think? If you do not think so, it shows that you have not had any pitiful experience of this kind. However, we can only hope that Jim’s troubles will never be any worse than this. Soccer Team. Basket Ball “Thy wit is as quick as a greyhound’s mouth; it catches .” Manson Waller Owens Powellville, Md. Manson, one of our new members from Powellville was soon claimed as our class clown. (Manson’s father is a preacher and you know it is said that the sons of preachers are regular devils). The way in which the Seniors impose on his good nature and cause him to be the object of the teachers’ frowns is really shameful. He always has the last word and will argue with such foolish facts and statements that his opponent usually yields because he cannot make Manson use his com¬ mon sense. Manson proved to us that he had a girl, which we doubted, by wear¬ ing her wrist watch to school every day. At last we actually saw him with her, and were convinced. But after all, Manson is one of our brilliant scholars. He gets ex¬ cellent marks and perhaps some day he will become a professional com¬ edian whom crowds of people will throng to see. Class Notary 42 She says a thousand pleasant words but nev¬ er says ‘Adieu.’ ” Marian Sidney Moore Fruitland, Md. What would you think Fruitland pro¬ duces? Fruit. That’s right and it is especi¬ ally noted for its wonderful peaches. Mar¬ ian is a sample. She can translate Virgil, read French, answer History questions and —well, just name something that she can’t do. Of course as she can do all this, we are eternally asking her aid and help, which she readily gives. It’s a good thing for us that she is quite a chatter box, for all our ques¬ tions are fully answered and explained. Mary Anne is her own chauffeur now and she drives her car about as if there were no speed cops at all. And maybe there are none for her, as we know she could and does, we suspect, vamp any road cop, thus escaping the fine for speeding. When Marian goes to college you may expect to find a train of boys following her like Mary’s little lamb, listening to her endless but charming chatter. In every deed of mischief he had a heart to resolve, a head to construe, and a hand to execute.” Ralph Furman Richardson Salisbury, Md. Here is the baby of the Commercial De¬ partment. He is a general favorite in spite of the fact that he is always planning some mischief. Furman is the shadow of Dutchy. No matter where Dutchy is seen, either in school or out, you may be sure Furman is some¬ where near. If anyone asks Furman his opinion on a subject he always has to con¬ sult Edison before giving his opinion. There is nothing about an automobile, which Furman does not know. At our parties he was always a regular “ladies man” and although consid¬ ered a reckless driver, we never refused an invitation when he offered to take us home. Track Team. 43 All things I thought I knew; but notv con¬ fess, the more I know I know, l knotv the less. Howard W. Powell Salisbury, Md. Now we give you this good advice in the beginning: Never disagree with Howard, for it is difficult to tell when you will get out of the scrape in which you find yourself. Rusty gives forth his facts and statements like any preacher. The best thing about his argu¬ ments is that he really puts some thought behind them and then tells you what he hon¬ estly thinks. Therefore we know that his statements are absolutely trustworthy. The fact that Rusty lives on a farm may account for his desire for knowledge in mathematics. He is afraid not to learn mathematics because he might some day get cheated out of his profit when selling his many and varied farm products. Very frequently Rusty is seen rambling along in his Ford which he thinks is the best car in existence. So we hope that his trusty Ford will ramble straight ahead taking him to success. Silence is sweeter than speech. Mildred Warren Riggin Nanticoke, Md. Such a quiet, meek and mild young person has never been seen before, we are sure. She believes that children should speak when they are spoken to and not otherwise. Also her hair is such that it can be combed becomingly without being ruffed and she is used as an example by Miss Ruth to the rest of the Senior girls. Usually boys star in mathematics, but in this case Mildred wins. She is exceptionally good in this course and because of this is envied as well as praised. However, she neither boasts nor brags of her talent, but just acts as a well-bred young lady should. Her kind and pleasant manner has won the affection of us all for she is ever ready to lend a hand, needle, brains or what-not whenever one gets into trouble. 44 “Bab, our good and steadfast chum, knows when to speak and when to keep mum.” Ella May Katherine Shockley Salisbury, Md. Ella, another of the Brunette Trio, has said that the saying, “Nobody loves a fat man,” is not true for she knows a man whom she thinks—whoa, we almost forgot, it’s sup¬ posed to be a secret. She is an athlete of some reknown. All the students wonder how she has achieved such success in Volley Ball. They can’t see that perseverance plus skill will win anything. At a dance, Ella is very popular- Those who get a dance may con¬ sider themselves lucky, for they have a charming partner as well as a good dancer. Her popularity is due to the fact that she has a very pleasing personality. When she goes to college this fall, we know that she will be as popular and win as many friends there as she did in Wicomico High School. “Mingle a little folly with your wisdom, A little nonsense now and then is pleasant.” Dorothy Emma Smith Fruitland, Md. Here is another of the many members of our class who comes from Fruitland. Dot, the “dreamy eyed,” is a person full of grit and determination. If provoked she quickly and freely expresses her opinion, but she soon calms down and is amiable as ever. Her faults are such that we love her in spite of them. Dot is very attractive to the opposite sex. She has many admirers in her city (and in ours) and she has much to tell her chums about what “he” did or what “he” said. She is very good in Shorthand and can just rattle off her notes. Commercial class is proud of this student. The 45 “In sooth , thou hast a twinkle in thine eye .” Harry Thomas Smith Fruitland, Md. Harry has eyes, hair and dimples that are coveted by many a person and he is always smiling. Do you suppose that he is so con¬ ceited that he wants those two little dimples in his cheeks to show all the time? Though Harry lives on a farm he has de¬ cided that he doesn’t like that kind of work well enough to continue it, so he is going to enter upon a business career. We hope that he will reach the top rung in the ladder but we fear that he won’t be able to do much work if he continues to vamp girls as he is doing now. He will probably flirt with his many stenographers until they won’t know A from B because of his two twinkling, brown eyes and two merry dimples. “With fuzzy hair and brown rimmed specs , She is very fond of reading the text.” Bessie Elzada Strickland Pittsville, Md. Bessie doesn’t wear glasses for nothing. She is trying to secure that dignified air which is so becoming to Seniors and especi¬ ally doctors, for a doctor she’s planning to be. We think that she will make a very good one except when visiting one patient whom we fear she will give heart trouble instead of curing him. We can also say that if Bessie continues to write as legibly and neatly as she now does, that she will be the first doctor to write a prescription that can be read by anyone but a pharmacist. We wish her this success, that she have as many patients as she has had glances from a certain young man this year. 46 “I will have sport from morn till eve .” Annie Ruth Truitt Salisbury, Md. Kept busy with her many love letters, Ruth barely has time left for lessons. Miss Ruth knowing this, separated Helen and Ruth be¬ cause they both had that continual habit of saying ' ‘he this” and “he that.” Though A. Ruth and Ruth A. have prac¬ tically the same name there is a vast differ¬ ence between them. Some people think that it is hard to distinguish between them, but if you once know them, there is no such dif¬ ficulty. Ruth is a happy-go-lucky person who objects to study hall slips about as much as she objects going to dances. The teacher says, “Ruth, you may go to Study Hall.” Ruth answers, “All right, I’ll be there.” May she be as happy and carefree when she leaves Wicomico High School to take her place in the world. “Z?? music minds an even temper know Nor swell too high nor sink too low .” Ruth Anne Truitt Salisbury, Md. This is the other Ruth. You would not know it if you were not told, would you? In this they are similar, both like music and both like to dance. When it comes to music, Ruth as a violinist, can not be surpassed. At times, her mystic music makes a person feel as if he were a butterfly sailing in the air, and then again it causes one to think of the sadder and more serious things of life. Ruth, however, generally sticks to jazz for at the present time this is more profitable financially than sad music. Her nimble fingers not only make her a great violinist, but she is very deft with her needle, finishing her sewing before the others even be¬ gin. We hope that Ruth will continue to climb upwards on the scale and reach high C—Success. 47 “When Duty and Pleasure clash , ’Tis Duty must go to smash . Cornelia Lyon Wailes Salisbury, Md. Every class must have a vamp and there are so many vamps in our class that it was difficult to choose the real one. But we at last decided on Pat. Her charms might well be likened to a fisherman ' s net, for once en¬ snared by them there is no means of escape. Everybody likes her and at dances she is very popu ] ar. You would not think it but Pat is one of the few who has really sworn off “rats and has stopped ruffing her hail, (except on special occasions). Poor Pat! How we all pity her in Virgil class. Whenever she knows her lesson, Miss Bloxom never calls on her and vice-versa. It seems that a dance or party always beckons one w’ay and Virgil the other, and who could blame her for choosing the former? Pat declares that she is going to teach school but we doubt very much if she will have a chance if she persists in vamping the boys. Class Prophetess. “If this move her not to love Tell her of thy noble deeds.” David Wayne Wroten Salisbury, Md. If you want to meet a hustler, we will in¬ troduce you to David. He is such a busy, alert and wide awake, yo ung man that we have chosen him for our Advertising Man¬ ager as well as our class Treasurer. David believes that all is fair in war and especially in love. He is very often seen with a member of the Sophomore class. He stud¬ ies with her in Study Hall and he walks home with her from school to prevent a bold knight from snatching her from his sight forever. On the Soccer field, David is a regular jumping jack. He bounces like a rubber ball and he gets knocked out so often that it is a wonder that he has enough breath left to hustle. But he can really kick some lovely goals and the balls fly like arrows when “she is shouting, “Just one more goal, Dave. Soccer Team. Advertising Manager of “Tatler.” 48 “There is little of the melancholy element in her” Rebecca Adkins Wilson Mardela, Md. Becky, since not of Sunnybrook Farm, claims Mardela Springs as he r home. She rides in and out each day on the transit, which prevents her from going to many a dance with the other two of the Brunette Trio. (Becky is related to Miss Wilson, whence comes the dance fever). But to stay home from a dance is perhaps a chance to study more. Her merry giggle is heard in all classes and it is not a disposing thing to hear Becky laugh for she puts her whole mind in it which makes the laugh so contagious that even the teacher catches it and laughs with us. Life and death might depend on some smiles and giggles, but we depend on Becky to break the dull monotony of each and every day. A smile can cause the sun to shine for some one person, so Becky, don ' t ever forget to smile. “Altogether too good for this ivicked world” Doris May Wilkinson Mardela Springs, Md. Doris May is a member of our class who hails from the city of Marde ] a. She joined us in her Junior year and her excellent work here is a credit to Marde ' a as well as to Doris. We a e as others see us and if Doris is a good example of the Mardela citizens, it must be a progressive town. She came to this High School to achieve something great, and in our mind she has succeeded. She has won a good reputation. Doris and Jinny are chums and Doris fre¬ quently spends the week-ends with Jinny. She has become very much attached to this city and its inhabitants since she has been a student at the Wicomico High School. Doris ' friends call her their ‘‘life savers for whenever they run short of soda checks, Doris always supplies the necessary funds. She is a walk¬ ing bank; and she never fails for want of business. There is nothing like having a friend in need, whether it be financial or otherwise. 49 “Life is not so short hut that there is always time for courtesy Louise Ann Williams Salisbury, Md. Louise, though not with us last semester, has returned and she is as bright and gay as ever, even though she does have to walk two miles some mornings through rain, snow or sunshine to reach school. If living on the farm affects everyone as it does Louise, we think that anyone is safe to begin such a life at once. Her cheery smiles, pleasant words, and helping hands endear her to everyone, es¬ pecially the Seniors. A person with such a disposition as Louise’s can not paint or draw anything which is not pure and beautiful. So when Louise goes away this fall to study art, we think we are safe in saying that if her spirit is reflected in her work it will be as near perfect and faultless as it is possible for paintings to be. !

To the Board of Education we leave $325,000 with which to build a new high school in Salisbury. 2.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto subscribed our name and our seal in the year of nineteen hundred and twenty-two. CLASS OF ’22. 56 57 CLASS PROPHECY 1922 Yesterday, friends, light hearted and gay, I sang with the birds and went on my way. When out of the morning there faded the light; And I knew that I had the class prophecy to write. For I am not a poet; just a bit of a girl, And I thought of that poem ‘till my he ad was awhirl. Just whirling with ideas that rumbled and roared; And I talked in my sleep ‘till folks said I snored. For poems are written but a few of them read, And I knew the reason; it was right in my head. But school days are school days and teachers are right; There are marks to be made and poems to write. And I thought ‘till I hurt of a subject sublime That would please everybody and make a good rhyme. But if you are not pleased and don’t like my verse, Let your comment be this, “I might have done worse.” Now if you’ll be quiet and not look so glum, I’ll finish in an hour and let you go home. A few little hits on my classmates so true, Some new-old philosophy and then I am thru. And if just for fun I make a few hits, You’ll know that the squealer is the one the cap fits. They’re a jolly good bunch; but, with kindly intent, I hope they’ll reform while there’s time to repent. I regret the necessity of such undue prolixity, But courtesy demands that I introduce about sixty. Nine and Fifty young satellites just out of school, To a waiting world saying, “I’m coming, keep cool.” Real greatness perhaps, in the soul of each slumbers, But they’re homefolks right now and I know their numbers. 58 I know what will befall them on life’s stormy sea, And this is the story that the Fates have told me. Bertha Adkins, so quiet, demure and sedate, Will marry in a year a man fifty-eight. He’ll take her to China where they learn to make tea, And leave her a widow at age sixty-three. Helen Bailey, why bless you, that girl is so fat, Barnum’s circus will have her before you say scat. Elva Baker, Blanche Bounds, and a few of the others, Will go into business, buying furs, fruits and feathers. Martha Brewington will nurse, with professional care, This much the Fates told me, but they didn’t say where. Olga Brittingham is next, and oh my, what a name! But would you believe it, there’s fortune and fame Awaiting that girl ? The stars have revealed it; It is written and kept by the angel who sealed it. She was chosen from many who prove their own worth But Olga was needed to balance the earth. Elmer Brown, poor fellow, he will leave in the spring. With the Salvation Army, they have engaged him to sing. Jesse Bratten, I am told will have quite a career. He’s going to St. Louis to learn to make beer. Lester Byrd the old reliable, quiet and good. Will be an artist o f no m oanj-epate, (with paint brush on wood.) He’ll paint us some wonderful pictures, full of color and thrills, Advertising on bill board and barn the latest in pills. Beatrice Chandler and Miss Gladys Hunt, both birds of a feather Like the Siamese twins, they are always together. And together they’ll walk down the long Road of Life When one is a mother and the other a wife. No fame will be theirs, but their love for each other Will make brighter the lives of the wife and the mother. 59 Stanley Chandler is the next one that I have on my list And I want you to meet him, for he’s never been kissed. He’s an up-to-date farmer, or will be I learn. And the strawberries he’ll grow will be big as a churn. He’ll have cucumbers and milkweed, with potatoes au gratin While his cows will be dressed in his own “farmers satin.” I’ll tell you that boy is chalked up for a career, So we’ll wish him good luck and leave him right here. The Fates are most kind to Miss Cathell and Jane, And she’ll meet Mr. Right in the old Fruitland lane. And they’ll live in a cottage on the crest of the hill, Known only to the neighbors as Jane and her Bill. Mr. Winifred Cooper deserves honorable mention, He’s going to be president; at least that’s his intention. Now here’s a little group I am sorry to say, Whose mischief and noise have led them astray. But they are bright little youngsters and here in life’s morning The Fates have commanded that I give them this warning. On some dark and stormy night When the moon has hid her light, And there’s terror in the land, While peacefully you lie sleeping There will come a shadow creeping To take you by the hand; Not Ben Adhem come to write Of your deeds so good that night. But hearken while you may, Unless you repent This shade on vengeance bent Will spirit you away. Their names I hate to tell, but perhaps its just as well And if you’ll close your ears I’ll read them low, with tears. Marie Davis, Bruce Dickinson and Daisy Disharoon too. Miss Ethel Hearn, Elizabeth Coulbourne; I’m not thru, 60 James Bounds, and Manson Owens, a Preacher’s son, With Furman Richardson last, who should be number ONE. And many others I could name who are hastening to a fall, Including young Ralph Elliott, who is now playing ball. Thomas Davis has a future and the fact is very plain. He will be the circus strong man, growing rich and very vain. Miss Salome Nancy Dennis also has a part to play, And in all the latest dances you will see her on Broadway. Lena Hearn so tall and thin, Rebecca Wilson short and fat, Will be old maids keeping house with a parrot and a cat. Ella Shockley wants to paint and who would say her nay, But to practice on her face, that is not the proper way. But she’s destined for a painter and my statement I can prove, When she sweeps the kitchen floor and polishes the stove. Little Maudie Fisher has plans to write a book, And when that book is finished I would like to have a look. Still she has some talent and the stars revealed to me That she would be an author like Laura Jean Libbey. Mabel Fooks is quite petite and thinks she’s rated pretty, But to be good is better far than being wise or witty. Miss Rosalie Freeny, as the Fates do say, Will be chief Justice of the Supreme Court some day. So we’ll leave them where they are; unmoved by sun or star. Mary Griffith and Everette Hearne think there’s nothing more to learn, Katharyn Harmon and Aline Mitchell look so much alike, The Fates refused a prophecy, just for fun and spite. Ruth Truitt with her violin, if she don’t break the strings, Will play before the lords, and ladies, kings and queens. Another Ruth Truitt, whose name is just the same, Must I tell the truth, will dance ’till she’s lame. Doris Wilkinson, Flossie Gordy, and Louise Williams; Oh pity me! How can I tell you what those girls will be? 61 One will be a farmerette and one a suffragette. And not one of them could tell you when a hen would want to set. Dorothy Smith and Harry Smith, let’s put ’em both together, And either make ’em man and wife or little sis and brother. You know the Smiths, I know the Smiths and who could prophesy, How one lone Smith from all the Smiths as they go marching by Would be a Smith like that old Smith beneath the chestnut tree, Or just plain homely simple folks, the same as you and me? From Fruitland here, again we find our friend Miss Marian Moore, So bright a mind has Marian dear, she knows twice two is four. And back to Fruitland she will go, where hens nest in the hay, To count the eggs by twos and fours her bantam hens will lay. I’m told Miss Ethel Holloway would rather like to preach But she’ll go back to school you know, and teach and teach and teach. George Hitch and David Wroten are not very fond of work But pose as lady killers with many a smile and smirk, And the Fates have written it out as clearly as can be, They’ll both be knights of the grip and travel Tennessee. Howard Powell will buy a farm and build a little house, Then he’ll marry a red-headed girl, who won’t be meek as a mouse. Miss Virginia Holliday, as the name implies, Will think so much of Holidays she’ll never be very wise. And whether the time or season, will leave off work for play, Just because she thinks so much about a Holiday. Paul Huffington is not forgotten, who’s always in a huff And when you mention physics, Paul thinks he knows enough. Friend Allan Huston is of Lilliputian size, And whenever he stubs his toe always screams and cries. He is so very small he will never amount to much Probably posing as a “Tom Thumbso I put him down as such. 62 Grace Jones and Helen Jones are worthy of attention, And with that illustrious family, deserving special mention, Both will marry Smiths and be happy and content, Living simple, upright lives with nothing to repent. Dr. Bessie Strickland will be famous for her skill And you’ll soon be buying boxes of the Dr. Strickland pill. Marian English, Lala Messick, Mildred Riggin, tiny tots Will be bachelor girls forever keeping dogs and flower pots. Eddie Kenyon and Jimmie Mitchell, better known as James, Will deal in patent medicine, good for all aches and pains. They think they’re very strong, like the Greeks in day of old, But they’ll peddle patent medicine as the Fates have just foretold. And thus ends the lists with the good-natured fun, And I hope none will mind for I love everyone. And comrade and playmate, if you’ve been overlooked, It was simply an error, for I had you all booked. We are out to carve fortune and fame from the wild, With the ideas of grown folks and the faith of a child. Perhaps there are Colleges beckoning to some, But we ' re thru with the high school and childhood is done. The white road of life looks enticingly fair, And ambitious youth must take its place there. We have done with the past, but the now is our own, And the future will bring but the harvest we’ve sown, Some paths may lead cityward and some to the plow. But opportunity is waiting for him who says now, As the good-byes are said, we will register this vow, We have trained for life’s service, Let’s begin to serve now. CORNELIA L.

This club was organized under the supervision of Miss Morris for the purpose of interesting the pupils in Mathematics, and also to study the history and uses of Mathematics. The club consisted of the pupils in the IB and 2A acquiring marks of ninety or over in Mathematics. They met and elected officers, made a set of by-laws and decided to hold their meet¬ ings on Wednesday afternoon, immediately after school. Twice during the semester they admitted new members who had acquired marks eligible for membership. Each time they had a party and initiated the new mem¬ bers. At the first party they initiated the teachers as honorary members. This club accomplished much in the way of arousing interest in Mathe¬ matics, as was shown by the increase of eligible marks. By-Laivs of Math Club. 1. A grade of ninety or more is required for membership. 2. A student’s mark falling below eighty-five for two successive quarters will consider himself dropped from the club. 3. Any one absent from several meetings without a good excuse will be dropped from the club also. List of Members of Math Club . President.

It was about the first of April that Professor Cordrey introduced to his senior history classes a form of student government known as the Wicomico High School city. His plans succeeded fairly well so he then proposed it to the entire student body. He drew up a definite charter similar to that of a city and presented it to the students. As the majority was willing to adopt it, thereby promoting student government, he continued to execute his plans. The following offices were filled by students elected by the students body: Mayor of the School City, Everette Hearne; Chief of Police, David Dallas; City Clerk, Aline Mitchell; Prosecuting Attorney, Winifred Coop¬ er; Judge of the City Court, Bertha Adkins; Associate Judge, Miss Helen Porter, a member of the faculty. It is the duty of the mayor to carry out new plans or amendments with the consent of the principal to direct the chief of police; to preside over the various meetings. It is the duty of the chief of police and his assis¬ tants to see that the laws are obeyed; to keep order in the halls; to protect school property. The city clerk keeps a record of the proceedings of all meetings, and gives the oath of office to the persons elected. It is the duty of the prosecuting attorney to uphold the city laws, and see that the person arrested by the police is properly punished if guilty of an offense. It is the duty of the judges to pass a just sentence on the guilty person. It is hoped that this government will accomplish the following things: increase the school spirit among the students, since it gives everyone a chance to take part in the uplift of the school; cause the students to co¬ operate with the faculty in keeping law and order in the school; make each student responsible for the actions of others thereby causing one student to correct the wrong doings of another. The plan of student government is entirely new, and waits the test of time to see whether it shall be a success or a failure. THE ORCHESTRA In the first part of October the attention of the school was attracted to the need of an orchestra. Under the leadership of Mr. John Hopkins, an orchestra of fifteen pieces was organized, consisting of ten violins, two cornets, trombone, drum, and piano. Members of this orchestra had had no previous training, but after much practice, they made their debut at the Alumni Reunion on December 29, 1921. As amateurs they were very successful and with much training and perseverance, they hope to obtain the success and reputation of the High School Orchestra of last year. 81 ALUMNI. The Annual Reunion of the Alumni Association of the Wicomico High School was held in the school building on Wednesday evening, December 28th, 1921. At this meeting nearly 300 graduates were in attendance as well as the Class of 1922 which was invited as a body, and had a part in the program. Col. A. W. W. Woodcock ' 99 presided at the meeting. The minutes of the 1920 reunion were read by Miss Mary Little ’19, and the Treasurer’s report submitted by Mr. E. Sheldon Jones ’14. The latter report showed that the Association had a paid-up membership of 132 for the year and that the treasury was in splendid condition. Reports from the classes graduating since 1876 presented by repre¬ sentatives of those classes showed that more than $500.00 had been realized toward the Students’ Aid Fund. This fund includes several classes which were not in a position to report that night. The following Trustees were elected by popular vote to handle all details in connection with this fund: Miss Maria L. Ellegood ’94, Mr. Jay Williams ’76, and Col. A. W. W. Woodcock ’99. The following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing year: President, Mr. Henry W. Ruark ’98; Vice-president, Mr. Graham Gunby ’94; Secretary, Miss Mary Little ’19; Treasurer, Miss Laura L. Wailes ’04. Executive Committee, Miss Alma Lankford ’03; Miss Mary Butcher ’09 and Mr. J. Edward Adkins, Jr. ’21. The Class of ’22 then presented a three act comedy, “The Bird’s Christmas Carol,” which was enthusiastically received. The music for the occasion, which also came in for a generous share of applause, was fur¬ nished by the High School Orchestra, under the leadership of Prof. J. T. Hopkins. An hour of dancing concluded the evening’s enjoyment. These “get together” meetings are becoming more popular each year and the attendance at this meeting exceeded that of 1920. It was a pleas¬ ure for the Senior Class to be present and to have part in the program as well as to contribute to the occasion in the serving of refreshments and many of its members made a resolution never to miss a single reunion if it were possible to attend.

ATHLETICS 83 SOCCER “Who will make the Soccer Team?” That was the question in the minds of the majority of the high school boys at the beginning of the school year. David Dallas, who was elected captain of the team at the close of the 1921 season called a meeting of all boys interested in Soccer, and at that meeting Mr. Wm. L. Boggs, physical director of the Y. M. C. A. gave a very impressive talk on the development of Soccer. On the first day of practice, with Mr. Boggs as our coach, fifty boys sallied forth to the field to cast their name in the ballot box for a position on the 1922 team. With a majority of last year’s team still in school the prospect lookel very bright. Since the P. A. L. was to make out the regular schedule for the championship games, we arranged two practice games with Crisfield High School. The fir st game was played at Crisfield on October 20th and resulted in our defeat by the orphan score of 1-0. Although we were defeated, we were taught a lesson that we sorely needed—that of teaching every man to play as an auxiliary rather than a unit, and on October 27th, on our home field Crisfield met her Waterloo with the disheartening score of 3-1. The first game played for the Championship of Wicomico County was on our field November 3rd against the Delmar lads resulting in a 2-0 victory for us. The next game was at Sharptown played on a field of newly-plowed ground. The game ended with a 1-0 score in favor of W. H. S. On November 17th we again met the Sharpers and gave them their second coat of white-wash by a similar score of 1-0, thus winning the Championship of the County. After winning this last game we were challenged by the Delmar Ironsides, and, although greatly favored by their Preacher Referee, they were defeated by the Wicomico hooters 2-1. But our good fortune was not to continue very long for on December 1st when we met the Knights of Crisfield on the famous battleground of Pocomoke City, a fierce battle ensued until the shadow of the earth blotted out all light and we were no longer able to see the bounding Soccer Ball. Neither side was victorious, the score being 1-1. The next day, December 2nd, we again met the Crisfield Booters on the bloody battleground of the day before. The result of this game was 1-0 in favor of Crisfield, as over half of the W. H. S. team was practically disabled in the previous day’s en¬ counter. The State Championship game was played at Baltimore December 24th between Catonsville High, Champions of the Western Shore and Den¬ ton High, Champions of the Eastern Shore. Catonsville defeated Denton with a 4-1 score, thus ending the Soccer Season of 1922. SOCCER LINE-UP Backs Forwards Rt. Full —William Toadvine Lt. Full —Edward Serman Rt. Half—David Dallas Lt.

The blustery winds of March did not acknowledge the coming of spring; consequently baseball practice was delayed until about the first of April. However it was our good to have such an efficient coach as Mr. Schwartz has proved to be in developing an almost entirely new team, as only a few of last year’s players remained in school. The County School Board formed a league of six school teams, and as our first game in this series was not scheduled until April 7th, we arranged two games with Crisfield. The first was played on our home diamond on April 4 in which our team did its first clubbing. However the Crisfield crabeaters were already veterans for they had played two games. The game started with Davis and Booth as batteries and was changed in the fifth inning to Huston and Smith. We were overpowered from the first on account of having such little practice. Although Davis pitched a stellar game, support on the part of the players was lacking and we were defeated 14-7. On looking over the score, it was shown that the home team had by far the best batting average, and it was mostly through errors on the part of our players that Crisfield won the game. An April 12th, at Crisfield, playing a very rotten game on a more rot¬ ten field caused our second game to be a complete loss. Huston went up in the sixth inning leaving Davis to take his place in the box. Crisfield scored twelve runs while we were allowed only three runs, made by Elliott, Messick, and Benson. The first game of the County series was played on the home diamond April 17th. Benson pitched the first inning in which five runs were scored by the Delmar team. In the second inning, after reporting to the umpire Elliott took Benson’s place in the box and during the remainder of the game struck out eleven men and allowed only three more runs to come in, making the final score 8-0. Snow Hill came to Salisbury April 21 with what appeared to be an A-No. 1 team, for the enemy team, outclassed our own team in weight. At the end of the first inning, the score was 1-0 in favor of the visiting team, but our boys were not daunted by this and each went to the bat with a determination to win over all obstacles. Before the game was finished, the first triple play of the Eastern Shore Easeball season was pulled off. In the eighth inning, with the bases loaded, a Snow Hill batter hit what appeared to be a safe “Texas Leaguer” over second, but on which Edward Davis made a spectacular running catch over his shoulder and turned a somersault. He then threw to Agnew at first, who returned the ball to Moore, covering second before either of the runners could return to the bag. BASEBALL TEAM The game was a lopsided affair and was easily captured by the W. H. S. Team by a score of 14-3. Lineup: Pitchers—Elliott; Davis; Huston Catcher—Booth First base—Agnew Second base—Davis, E. Third base—Price Short stop—Moore Left fielder—Mitchell Center fielder—Messick Right fielder—Benson Substitutes: Livingston; Insley; Brown; Smith. Princess Anne High School Team came to Salisbury April 25, to com¬ pete with our nine. The game proved to be the most interesting one of the season so far. The battery for the home team was Elliott and Booth, while “Lefty” Culver was the Princess Anne hurler. During the whole game not a man was walked. In the fifth inning the score was tied 1-1. But owing to our heavy batting during the rest of the game, the score was increased on our side to 4 making the final score 4-1 in favor of the W. H. S. team. Some features of the game may be outlined as follows: Punched out by Elliott—10 Punched out by Culver—9 Walked by Elliott—0 Walked by Culver—0 Two (2) base hits, Insley, Kenyon for W. H. S. Two (2) base hits, Walker, for Princess Anne. Double plays made by Davis, Moore and Agnew, W. H. S. Hits made by W. H. S.—13 Hits made by Princess Anne—6 When the bases were loaded and Princess Anne slugger to the bat and the ninth inning with none out, Messick made two spectacular running catches out in deep center field and third man was punched out, thus saving the day for W. H. S. by a score of 4-1. 88 DODGE BALL. In order to do justice to the 1921 dodge ball team, we wish to say that the expectations of W. H. S. were very satisfactorily fulfilled. At the field meet which was held May 19th, 1921 at the county fair grounds our team was proclaimed victors of Wicomico County and was therefore accorded the privilege of competing with the State’s best dodge ball team at Baltimore on June 11th. On Friday, June 10, our dodge ball team went to Baltimore and on the following day put forth its best efforts which proved so effective that it came from the field of victors of the State of Maryland for the third time. The dodge ball boys who are candidates for this year’s team decided to get busy if they wished to keep up their 100% record. So practice began April 1, on the high school campus with Irvin Waller as captain. The candidates were numerous and as a result the outlook seems very bright for our taking the state championship a fourth time under the manage¬ ment of William Chatham. The line-up for 1921 was as follows: Fulton Fields (Capt ) Albert Ward Ralph Purnell Irvin Waller William Bounds Roy White Ralph Williams Richard Day Furman Richardson William Chatham James Betts (sub.) 89 DODGE BALL TEAM BASKETBALL. For many years the boys of Wicomico High School have not had the opportunity of playing basketball because they had no indoor court. This year they succeeded in securing the First Regiment Armory which has excellent space for a court. At the first call for candidates, about twenty boys appeared eager for a position on the team. After a few days’ grilling Thomas Davis was se¬ lected as captain and Lester Byrd as manager. An extensive schedule was then arranged and practice began in earnest. The first game was with the Junior class of the Y. M. C. A. at the Armory, Jan. 5. Most of the high school team regarded this game as a joke for our team excelled the “Y” team in height and weight and it took one or two goals on the part of the Y. M. C. A. team to wake them up to the realization that there was an opposing team on the floor. However, after a lively fight our team secured the lead and won the game by a 30-7 victory. The next game was with the Camp Fairlee team at the Y. M. C. A. on Jan. 24. This was the only real game of the season for in it both sides were evenly matched. Although four of the regular Basketball players on the high school team were absent, the substitutes of Hearn, Bratten, Mitchell, and Insely worked well. The first half looked dark for the W. H. S. team for it scored on only one foul shot and Camp Fairlee shot three field goals, giving them a score of 6 1. The second half was fifteen min¬ utes of hard work, but the high school gained while Camp Fairlee did not score at all. At the end of the game, the score showed an 8-6 victory for the high school. About this time the privilege of using the Armory was forbidden to us and for two weeks our team had no practice, but on Feb. 9 it went to East New Market without any previous practice. This game proved to be our Waterloo for we were beaten by a score 48-6 score. Knowing that no team can play and win without practice our schedule was cancelled. BASKETBALL LINE-UP. Thomas Davis—Center Edison Kenyon—Left forward Edward Serman—Right forward David Dallas—Right guard Lester Byrd—Left guard SUBSTITUTES: James Mitchell Hubert Insley 91 i BASKETBALL TEAM TENNIS CLUB. The Tennis Club of the Wicomico High School, Salisbury, Md., was organized during the last semester of 1922. Although this was our first attempt at the game, and many of us had never played before, the season has proven itself particularly good. Now to the field of rhyme Some folks like golf, some, volley ball, But give us tennis, the best of all. Books are forgotten and every care, As the magic sphere files through the air. With racket and ball we hasten away To spend a pleasant hour in play, Then back to our work with added zest, For those who play well, study best. Hurrah for sports ’neath heaven ' s blue dome, May we always enjoy them wherever we roam. They infuse new life, teach self control, Are good for the body, the mind and the soul. 93 GIRLS’ ATHLETICS Last year was the first year Volley Eall had been played by our girls and so they had not become proficient by spring. Nevertheless full of hope the chosen eight went to Towson to compete in the State Athletic Meet. They were guests of the Normal School and they had a wonderful time. The girls proved themselves to be good losers when Easton defeated them 14-9. This fall the girls began to practice again and realized fairly good results, but not being satisfied with these results they requested Miss Ging, a Public Athletic League coach, to come to teach them the fine points of the game. At this time the enthusiasm was at its height. Every study period, noon hour and after school 16 girls vigorously knocked the ball back and forth over the net. The Student Class of the “Y” challenged the girls to play. The boys won after a hard fight with the close score of 27-25. This spring Miss Sexton is the director of Girls’ Athletics. Although there is a conspicuous lack of class spirit in Volley Ball, every player on the school team is a star. This year we have great confidence that the state honors will be brought by our team to the Eastern Shore at last.

In proportion as nations advance in population and other circumstances of maturity this truth becomes more apparent.” Since Washington’s time science has made many improvements in Agriculture; Aields can now he greatly increased by the application of suitable PLANT FOOD like and proper care in Seed selection and cultivation. These together with the invention of the Bind¬ er, Drill, Planter and other modern farm imple¬ ments have put “CULTURE” in Agriculture and raised the calling of the tiller of the soil to that of the most honored Profession.
