“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

‘‘Virtue in her appears so bright and gay We hear her with pleasure and with pride obey.” Bertha Sheppard Adkins Salisbury, Md. 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

“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
