“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

“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

“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.
