“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

“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

“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
