“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

“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 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
