“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.

“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

“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
