If in the years to come, it serves to awaken the memory of these days of youth and joy;- it v ill have been a success. It is true that it is but a poor memento and has failed in many things; it is full of errors and is at best in¬ complete; but if the indulgent reader derives any pleasure from its perusal, we shall feel amply repaid. May this book serve as a beautiful “foot print on the sands of time.” The Editors. 1923 Satin §taff Rosalie Smith Editor-in-Chief Agnes Howie Nellie Mitchell Literary Editors Irene Banks Annilee Hillman Asst.

She is at the heart of everything, planning, directing and working. Every student in 23 has felt her watchful¬ ness, guidance and love through his senior year. The most lasting memories of our school life will center about her who has so inti¬ mately worked with us in our last year at old W. II. S. Mrs. Mildred W. Pope Page Eleven JIrnf. (HlarnuT II. (Ear dreg PROFESSOR CLARENCE II. CORDREY, our esteemed Prin- cipal and j)ilot of the good ship W. II.

These brief words can be but a poor expression of our gratitude to him. Page Twelve Page Thirteen Prof. Clarence Cordrey 3Farulti| Clarence II. Cordrey, M. A. Principal Amy Bennett, A. B.

I turned and saw a man with a cane and silk hat, There stood Prof. Cordrey, now what do you think of that! I asked of our teachers with a sigh, And now 1 11 tell you of his reply: Mrs. Pope your class advisor, Is now editor of the New York Advertiser. Miss Phillips is taking notes momentarily, As -Mrs. Pope s private secretary. Miss Porter was the leader of the convention, From which I just came, and forgot to mention. Miss Bennett, Miss Holiday, Miss Jacobs and Mr. M ' lntosh are working day bv day, To try to reach the plants in some new fangled way. Miss Lankford is the head librarian in the U. S. A. And to each book that is issued she has her say. Miss Killiam and Miss Bloxom are teaching all kinds of things, As star tutors to children of many of the kings. Mr. Donohoe, quiet and serene, Is now at Harvard as its dean. .Mr. Hackett deserves great credit For now a state school paper he does edit. Miss Straughn and Miss Dryden still stick together, And arc running a private school in all kinds of weather. Miss Kilpatrick and Miss Charlton share an apartment To which they retire after working in the state department. Mr. Duffy and Mr. Unger have won great fame, As basketball stars so folks claim. Miss Long and Miss Fisher, so they say, Teach English in Chicago and get enormous pay. Miss Nock is head of the Maryland schools, Making the boys and girls obey the golden rules. Miss Hinmnn is now at Bryn Mawr, Teaching girls from near and far. Miss Ruth is now head of State Normal, Where she keeps things quite formal. A call! the long sweet dream is over, And I must come away from that field of clover. Our hearts will go back often I know, To the faculty of which we’re proud And as out into life we go We shall speak of them with praises loud. R. Silverman, E. Tilghman. Page Sixteen nuu of ’33H 03 Harirtipa In ’23 we have them all— Some fat, some thin, some short, some tall, A goodly number with bobbed hair Worn straight or curled and frizzed with care; Who’ve kept their tresses still intact. And some remain, now it’s a fact, Within these ranks you’re sure to find The maid who’s studiously inclined; With horn-rimmed glasses on her nose, She stalks about on her tip toes. The poet, too, goes strolling by With inspiration in her eye; And next the artist, pen in hand, Ilis posters ever in demand; While in the “Y,” or somewhere round, Our brawny athletes can be found; Our yell leaders you’ll know are near, When lusty shouting strikes the ear. Then, we have maids of warbling voice, While in musicians we rejoice; Domestic Science students, too, Who bake, or boil, or roast, or stew, And actresses, who, here and there, Both roll their eyes and tear their hair; Then officers and student “reps” Who rush about with hurrying steps. Come take your choice, we have them all— Some fat, some thin, some short, some tall.

H. S. THE TAT LER 19 23 MARGIE ELIZABETH ADKINS ( 4 ‘ Marg ’ ) Parsonsburg, Md. “Always pleasant and always dependable Margie is a kind, quiet, sympathetic girl who strives to do justice to her studies, her friends and to herself. Margie is one of the kind who is here, there and everywhere and yet never makes herself conspicious. , In her small unnoticed way she helps all she can in the betterment of our class and we fully appreciate the efforts of Margie, and whenever she wants some help which she rarely does we are very glad to help repay her for what she has done for us. Known by—Her glasses. Member of D. E. C. Thing she can’t do—Curl her hair. HESTON AGNEW (“Hetz”) Salisbury, Md. il We must be gentle now that we arc gentle¬ men Where would our athletics be if it were not for this inspiring member of our class? Hetz is always willing to work and will never give in to defeat, although he makes very good use of “de” feet on the soccer field. This young man may become a member of the P. A. L. and in a few years we would not be surprised to see him back here again as an athletic instructor of our school. Hetz is very bright in Math, and what Miss Killiam can’t solve he can. Thing he can’t do—Stop arguing. Known by—Red face. Prosecuting Attorney of Student Govern¬ ment. Page Twenty W. H. 8. THE TATLER 19 23 MINNIE EVELYN AUSTIN (“Min”) Salisbury, Md. “The only way to have a friend is to he one.” ,“ Min ” left us in the middle of the year having finished her course at W. H. S. a half year before the rest of us. We missed her cheery smile in our classes especially French. She is quiet and unassuming and perhaps this is the reason she got along so well in her studies. If Minnie should ever go abroad we are sure she will feel perfectly at home in France. We always need some people to en¬ courage us silently and as a willing helper Minnie is one of our best. Thing she can’t do—Grow tall. Known by—Winning ways. Member of A. E. C. ELSIE ETRURIA BANKS (“Banksey”) Salisbury, Md. Steady and capable, Friend of ally Ready to help At our slightest call. Elsie is one of the obliging members of our class, and is always willing to help anyone who is in need. She always rattles her tongue like some of the rest of us but when she works she believes in putting foolishness aside and in this way she “paddles her own canoe,” but we would not have anyone get the idea that Elsie is always serious for after doing her duty she is ever ready for pleasure. “Banksey” is expecting to attend Normal School next year and we wish her every suc¬ cess in what ever career she may decide upon. , Thing she can’t do—Keep still. Known by—Her hair. Member of P. E. C.; member of the C. C. Page Twenty-one W. H . S. THE TATLER 1923 IRENE ESTHER BANKS (“Reny”) Salisbury, Md. “Trouble, trouble, 1 see it not.” Irene believes the smartest person in the world is one who can take a letter in Short¬ hand and whose eharaeters do not change their shape during transcription. “ Renv” takes tilings as they come (ex¬ cept in Bookkeeping class) and we frequent¬ ly see her laughing or fussing with Bill. Irene never fails to express her opinion on any subject—except in History class. She de � rl • I kes to study about Holland - er - - the country. (?) Irene lias worked faithful¬ ly as a L teraiy Editor. We all wish her a successful future in the business world. Known by—Bobbed hair. Thing she can’t do—Put her hair up. Assistant Literary Editor of “Tatler”; Excelsior English Club. EDNA GEVENDOLYN BENNETT (“Benny”) Mardela Springs, Pa. “Patience is a necessary ingredient of genius 1 “Benny” is one of our classmates who comes to us from Mardela. She is a firm be¬ liever in the fact that slow and steady wins the race and therefore one never sees “Ben¬ ny” in a hurry. Because of her scholarly ways Edna is a favorite with the teachers, and a great inspiration to the rest of us. If she retains her patience we feel sure that she will become a great success in her future occupation for we hear that she is ex¬ pecting to teach. Thing she can’t do—Without the transit. Known by—Her looks. Member of E. E. C. Page Twenty two W. H. S. THE TAT LEE 19 23 MARTHA CLYDE BETTS (“Patsy”) Frultland, Md. “ What is right , is right. Martha tries very hard to be a dignified senior (espec ially around some people). Somehow Miss Phillip’s room has some at¬ traction for her. We wonder why? Martha is a delightful classmate and assi¬ duous scholar and enjoys History class most of all, because—because—Oh, well, Mr. Rack¬ et! teaches it. The ease with which she goes about doing her work is one thing she is especially noted for. We wish her every success in the future and are sure her town will be proud to claim her. Known by—Slow speech. Thing she can’t do—Use hair pins. Member of A. L. S. THELMA VIRGINIA BRADLY (“Betty”) Riverton, Md. “Like! but oh how different. Thelma is “one” of the ones that seldom speaks unless she is spoken to, but the trouble is she is spoken to quite often, so therefore she speaks a good deal. “Betty” and “Cah” are very good friends, and always help one another, what one cannot do, the other can, and this old saying would apply to them pretty well, “Two heads are better than one, if one is a cabbage head.” Thelma is very neat in her sewing and is very swift, and if she is always swift, she will succeed, and we wish her luck. Known by—Sweater. Thing she can’t do—Be without “Cah.” Member of P. E. C.; Asst. Humorous Edi¬ tor. Page Twenty-three W. h. s. THE TAT LEU 19 23 STANLEY RUSSELL BOZMAN (“Rut”) Deals Island, Md. “ am Sir Oracle and when I ope ’ my lips to speak let no dog hark . ” When our friend Russell once starts his famous flow of oratory in history class no one dares to interrupt him. He seems to know all that was ever written by any his¬ torian and woe to the poor student who tries to contradict him. He is thinking of going to St. John’s Col¬ lege and we are sure he will succeed for what would suit him better than to lead the life of a soldier? Do your best, Russell, and the class of ’23 will be proud of you. Thing lie can’t do—Stop bragging Known by—Brightness. Member E. E. C.; Associate Editor of i ‘ Tatler ’ ’: Secretary of Senior Class. HELEN FANTINE BREWINGTON (“Fan”) Salisbury, Md. “ Neatness , in moderation, is a virtue; hut when carried to excess , it shows pre¬ ciseness of the mind.” Now let us introdue “little Helen,” one of the smallest in our class. You have heard the old saying, “The best goods comes in the smallest packages,” and this is the case with Helen. Helen has won great fame in her sewing since she has been with us, and also in book keeping. You can look through the keyhole of the commercial room any time and you will see her working over her journals and ledgers and correcting entries that the ma¬ jority of us would not even call mistakes. We are sure that Helen will be a success at anv thing she attempts and we all wish her luck. Thing she can’t do—Wear her hair up. Known by—Little feet? Member of E. E. C. Page Twenty-four W . li . S . T H E TA T L E R 19 23 IRMA VIRGINIA BREWINGTON (“Duck”) Shad Point, Md. “Heaven helps him who helps himself.” Irma is a very busy person. Very often she is seen walking around the school with her knitting, but don’t think for a minute that she lets this interfere with her lessons, never! She only knits when she has nothing else to do. Irma very seldom smiles and she often remarks that she tries so hard to keep the frown off her face, but “Duck” does not always succeed. However, this does not matter, we think very much of her anyway, for we know some day Irma will be all smiles. We fell sure that whatever she attempts in the business world, she will succeed and we wish her luck. Thing she can’t do—Smile. Known by—Frown. Member of E. E. C. LULA MAE BRITTINGHAM (“Lu”) Pittsville, Md. “If eyes were made for seeing, then beauty has its own excuse for being.” Lula is one of the most interesting mem¬ bers of our class. She has a sweet dispo¬ sition and is always laughing. She possesses soft blue eyes and these she uses in vamping the opposite sex. There is always someone who has to be the victim of teasing and in our class this unfor¬ tunate place falls to “ Lu. ” But neverth- less she seems to come through these tor¬ ments smiling and is none the worse for them. However Lula is a diligent worker and we shall long remember her comradeship. Thing she can’t do—Stop smiling. Known by—Vamp ing eyes. Member of D. E. C. Page Twenty-five W. H. S. j THE TA T L E H 19 23 MZLDRED DENNIS BRITTINGHAM (“Milly”) Parsonsburg, Md. (i A together too good for thii wicked world.’ ' Milly is one of our class brunettes and she qu.te deserves the name. Miily is very at¬ tract. e to the opposite sex. She has many adm.rers In her city and she has much to tell her fidends about what “he” did or what “ he 1 said. A rumor has been going about that if Mil¬ dred were not in the Senior Class she would leave us. We surely do congratulate the one who gets Mildred for a wife because we know she will make a good little house¬ keeper. Thing she can’t do—Be a blonde. Known by—Her admirers. Member of D. E. C. IRA FULTON CATLIN (“Fult”) Salisbury. Md. ‘ Silence is deep as eternity , as time. speech as shallow One would never think that Fulton was so bright just to see him, for a boy more quiet or more subdued cannot be found. “Fult” is always attentive and perhaps that s where h ' s genius lies, for what gift is better than a good 1 stener? In English, especially, does he shine and he spurs on many faltering students to keep up with him. When the class wants to be especially brilliant we al¬ ways look to Fulton to answer the hardest questions. We are all back of you “ Fult,” so go ahead. Thing he can’t do—Be boisterous. Known bv—Brief case. Member of the E. E. C. Page Twenty six THE TAT LEE 19 23 w . h. a. WILLIAM JAMES CHATHAM (‘ ‘ Bill ’ ' ) Salisbury, Md. “0, wad some power the gif tie give us, To see ourselves as ithers see us. How we, with lesser ability, envy 4 Bill ’ when he takes a speed test, for he always makes forty or more words per minute. When Miss Porter gives us new matter in Shorthand, “Bill” never flinches, but keeps his pen moving, though he often remarks that his pen point is getting very warm. Some day we know that “Bill” will get the World’s Championship from Hossfield for typing, and we all join in wishing him suc¬ cess. t Thing he can’t do—Type slow. Known by—Politeness? ? MARY AGNES CORDREY (“Jimmy”) Salisbury, Md. “J never did repent for being mischievious, Nor shall not now . ” Mary tries to be good but if you want to know the results ask Miss Straughn. She can be seen anytime chasing someone around the Commerical room. Mary can start to Church but if she meets a Ford her course is broken, for away spins Mary and the Ford. (Ask her who it is.) ,For two weeks Mary worked for C. R. Dish- aroon as stenographer, and from all she told us when she came back, we judge she re¬ ceived all the experience necessary to make her successful when she gets to be part of the business world. Known by—Her size. Thing she can’t do—Keep still. Member of A. E. C. Page Twenty-seven DAVID DALLAS (“Divy”) Salisbury, Md. ‘ We cannot always oblige , but we can speak obligingly. ’ ’ “Divy” is a very loyal member of our class. We can say this for several reasons, but especially because lie is the brave and faithful president of our Athletic Associa- ton and he always has sufficient tenacity to honor in any way our Soccere team. “Divy” always has a broad smile on his face and is never happier than when teasing someone. , But notwithstanding his many activities and pranks yet he has won his diploma hon¬ estly. The valuable aid which his energetic and persistent efforts have rendered in behalf of class and school will long be remembered by them. Thing he can’t do—Grow thin. Known by—Athletic ability. Chief of Police of Student Government; Boys’ Athletic Editor; member of the P. E. C. HARRY ARDIS DALLAS (“Jake”) Salisbury, Md. “And even his failings lean to virtue s side.” If there is any person in our class who moves around more than any one else that person is our old friend Harry. He cannot seem to keep still for even a minute at a time nor can he keep his lips closed. He is full of fun and foolishness. Although he has worried more than one teacher almost to distraction, yet it is only done in fun and no one can remain mad at “Jake” for very long at a time. His good nature and fun- loving disposition have endeared him to all his classmates and we could not get along without Harry. Thing he can’t do—Keep quiet. Known by—His laugh. Member of the D. E. C.; member of the C. C. Page Twenty eight W. H. S. THE TATLER 19 23 EDITH WINIFRED DASHIELL (“Win”) Fruitland, Md To live in hearts we leave behind—is not to die.” “Win M is one of the many “petite” mem¬ bers of our class, however she has a great amount of knowledge stored in her small dome, and is never lacking for replvs to questions asked her in classes. Everywhere that one sees Winifred one also sees “Themv” and they often remind us of Mary and her little lamb. “Win” studies very hard and is well re¬ warded for her work and we are sure if she keeps up this rate at Normal School she will come out as a victor. Thing she can’t do—Be a flapper. Known by—Straight hair. Member of D. E. C. DOROTHY WHITE DAVIS (“Dot”) Salisbury, Md. “ Her ways are ways of pleasantness , and all her paths are Peace.” Dorothy finished up at mid-year as did the other 7 QUIET 4-B’s, but is seldom seen around only the first and second periods. Did you ever notice Dot’s initials are D. I)., the same as Da-V? Oh, we almost told “Dot.” Although Dorothy does not join in the up¬ roar of the class you can always hear her smothered giggle. To look at her one would think of an angel, but “Dot,” we all know you and all wish you a successful future. Known by—Marcelle wave. Thing she can’t do—Stop dreaming. Vice-president Senior Class; Choral Club; member of A. E. C. Page Twenty-nine W. H. S. THE TAT LE R 19 23 DORA VIRGINIA DISHAROON (“Dorie”) Salisbury, Md. “The best goods come in the smallest pack ages.’ Dora is another small member of our class, and is often seen with Helen, she .also does very well in her bookkeeping, but one th ng that has bothered Dora, is her typewrit ng. The rule is, you must make thirty words to pass, so Dora tried very hard and made her thirty words. All the next week she sm led and smiled and smiled till we thought she would never stop, but we would ratner see her smiling than crying so we were sat sfied. Dora sa;. s she is go ng to be a nurse and we are sure she will succeed. Thing she can’t do—Run. Known by—Walk. LI ember of E. E. C. THELMA LAURA DRYDEN (“Jerry’ ) Salisbury, Md. “Her fingers diame the ivory key ; so light they dance along. A little bit of frivol ty, a lot of sm les and a sweet disposition is a v ery good como na¬ tion and all these are comb ned in our cl: ss mate “Jerry.” Her eternal g gg.e c; n o ’ heard at all times and her clever mperson- ation of colored singers throws us into al- mose hysterical laughter. She is planning to go to Drexel and the school will indeed be favored with such a rare bit of a girl. She is never realiy loud but her quick way of being everywhere at once and giving just a word of caution or challenge at each step makes her seem more consp cuous than she really is. Here’s three cheers for Thelma. Thing she can’t do—Get fat. Known by—Her song compositions. Member of C. C.; member of E. E. C. Page Thirty W . H . 8. THE TATTER 19 23 JOHN GREENSBURY FREENY (“Johnny”) Pittsville, Md. “Still waters run deep.” John studies hard but he never seems to make any great display of h : s knowledge. He comes from Pittsville on the transit every day and perhaps that is one of the reasons we get to know If m so little. John is a joy to the teachers because he never has to be called down for being boisterous. He always backs the things which our class tries to do and so we are very glad to have John as a member of our class. Thing he can’t do—Flirt. Known by—Suitcase. Member of the D. E. C. LAURA ELLEN FARLOW (‘ ‘ Laurie ’ ’) Salisbury, Md. In al ' things let reason he your guide.” Laura s another member of the “Quiet Sen or Class,” who is a credit to them. What on earth would we do without her? Always ready to help someone. , “Laur ' e” vows and declares her lessons “ worrv her to death,” but somehow she is st 11 on til ' s “magnificent globe,” known as Hie earHi. Brokens chairs have an attraction for Laura because she always falls a prey to them. But we must admit that she is an expert in the way of handPng a “Bill.” We all wish Laura a wonderful success in the future. Known by—‘ ‘ Bill. ’ ’ Thing she can’t do—Get in a hurry. Member of A. E. C. rage Thirty-one W. H. 8. THE TAT LER 19 23 ONA ELLEN GRAHAM (“Ony”) Mardella Spring, Md. .... ‘‘Always ready and willing to try , but ending with a heavy sigh.” “Ony” is another bright star from Mar¬ della, and she often makes us ashamed of our knowledge. In her short stay with us she has found a place in our hearts. She is serious and attentive in classes but every¬ where else she is a big tease. She has a great deal of patience and be¬ lieves in sticking to a thing until she gets it, this can be plainly seen in all her lessons. Known by—Permanent wave. Thing she can’t do—Be unprepared. Member of the E. E. C. ETTA MARIAN GORDY (“Ettie”) Salisbury, Md “Be s’ow of tongue and quick of eye.” Being so quiet one would hardly think Etta was a Senior. She is modest beyond words (somet ' mes). But if you talk about Delmar she is right on the dot and some¬ t ' mes forgets her dignity. But, putting away foolishness, Etta is a good pal, and one of our best typists for it is easy for her to hit 50 words anytime. And never do her Shorthand characters lose their shape. When Etta enters upon her business career the class of ’23 wish her every success. Known by—Speed in typing. Thing she can’t do—Grow fat. Member of A. E. C. Page Thirty two W . tf. s. THE TA TIER 19 23 LUCILLE FLOY GULLETTE (“Peg”) Salisbury, Md. “The world belongs to the energetic . ” Great is our joy on this occasion to say a few things concerning this industrous class¬ mate of ours. It is a fact, disputed by none, that she is the student of the Senior Class, indeed during the last year her close atten¬ tion to her books, awakened well grounded fears in the minds of her friends that only the ghost of our erstwhile substantial look¬ ing classmate would float up to receive her diploma. , As a business manager she is a huge suc¬ cess. “Peg” is a practical joker at all times and is always willing to have one played on her. If she goes through Wellsley with the same vim and determination that she has shown here, we are sure of her success. Thing she can’t do—Get 98 in French. Known by—West Point belt. Business Manager of “Tatler”; member of the P. E. C.; Choral Club; Mayor of Student Government. MARY KATHERINE HAGAN (“Kaye”) Salisbury, Md. ” Her hair is bright and so is she , as nice as any girl can be.” “Kaye” has been with us throughout all our high school term and what would our c’ass have done if we hadn’t had her to take t ie lead in athletics. She is one of the stars in basket ball as well as volley ball, and when it come to “Pep” she has more than enough. This abundance of “Pep” she dis¬ plays not only in athletics but also on the dance floor. Here, she reigns supreme, and fortunate is the fellow ' wdio secures her as h ' s partner. Katherine is very partial to slick black hair and she is often seen with one wdio an¬ swers to this description. “Kaye” is fond of fun and always ready for a good time but she never neglects her studies and this is w T hv she gets along so well. Thing she can’t do—Do without Louella butter. Known by—Athletic powers. Member of the D. E. C.; member of the C. C.; Girls 9 Athletic Editor. Page Thirty three W. H. S. THE TAT L Eli 19 23 MORRIS DORMAN HAMMOND (“Moses”) Salisbury, Md. “Be silent always , when you doubt your sense , And speak, tho 7 sure, with seeming diffi¬ dence. 7 7 “ Moses’’ is quiet but there are great qualities latent under his mask of solemnity. Morris appears to be a woman hater but we doubt this very much for we have often seen him standing near the piano when a certain girl is playing. Morris spends his extra time in a grocery store and we hope some day he will be the owner of a “ big grocery store.’ 7 He is persevering in all his studies and we wish him the best of luck in his business career. Known by—Brown sweater. Thing he can’t do—Run. Member of A. E. C. MAUDE ELAINE HASTINGS (‘ ‘ Maudie ’ ’) Salisbury, Md. Knowledge is power. 7 7 Maude is one of our greatest talkers, and she is quite a soloist in bookkeeping, her favorite piece being “Some Day We’ll Understand.” Her solos are not audible to Miss Straughn, of course. Maude has some very good points for she can type just as fast as Delma and some more of our speed kings, and Maude can take shorthand very rapidly, and read just as fast. Coming back to facts, Maude will be a success if she always has this much know¬ ledge. Thing she can’t do—Stop talking. Known by—Hair. Member of P. E. C. ■ Page Thirty-four W. H . 8. THE TAIL Eli 19 23 LILLIE BLONDELL HATTON (“Lill”) Mardella Springs, Md. A typist in all her glory. ’’ Merry and witty and always giggling she moves along with the world. “ Lillie’’ hails from Mardela and caring not for snow or rain she is always at school. She says no wonder George Washington was a great man, just take a glance at his first name. If “Lillie’’ progresses in typing from year to year as she has done in W. H. S., Mr. Hossfield had better sit up and take notice. We wish her every success. Known by — 11 Smile. ’ ’ Tiling she can’t do—Forget George. Member of A. L. S. FLORENCE MAY HAYMAN (“Frizzy”) Fruitland, Md. A cheerful temper , joined with innocence , makes beauty attractive , and wit good-natured. ’ 1 Florence is one of our best Shorthand students and she comes from Fruitland, per¬ haps that accounts for it. “Frizzy” is very talkative and it is very easy to make her your friend. Another thing lhat has made “Frizzy” known is her talent in History, when called upon she can always give an answer and it is correct nearly every time, in fact, there is not any subject that Florence carries that she does not know a good bit about, and we are sure that if she always has this much knowledge she will be a competent business woman. Thing she can’t do—Get mad. Known by—Smile. Member of P. E. C. Page Thirty-five W . H . S. THE TAT LEE 19 23 EDWARD FRAKLIN HEARNE (“Ed”) Salisbury, Md. ‘ ‘ Edwin can do more than you think With a drawing pen and a bottle of ink. 99 Rehold our class hand made man. No social gathering is complete without this gentleman and his wicked ways always make a hit with the ladies, he is our class artist and maybe in the future years he will become famous. , “Ed” is a business man also and our Tat- ler owes a lot to his efforts. He never seems to be able to stick to any one thing, particu- larv one girl, but variety is the spice of life, so go ahead, old top. Thing he can’t do—Leave girls alone. Known by—His dancing.

Ruth never takes any¬ thing seriously and her continued unconcern often gets her in trouble but she never seems to care and she always comes out on top. Ruth has many talents, especially singing.

Marie.” Mary is a great orator and woe to the one who has the ill luck to be placed against her on a debate. When no one else can answer Mr. Cordrey’s history questions we always count on her. Here’s luck to our old pal, and we stand back of her when she goes out to make fame and fortune. Thing she can’t do—Curl her hair. Known by—Quick temper. Alumni Editor; member of P. E.

Here’s our worthy classmate who had the cleverness to write our faculty poem. She is not only good in literary deeds however, but she is never more in her element than when cn the basket ball field. In this game she excels just as she does in all other sports. We are proud of her abil¬ ity in such games and we forsee for her a brilliant future although not necessarily in the capacity which we have mentioned. She is also a very good housekeeper and this speaks well for her future job as a sweet and loving wifey. Thing she can’t do—Write French. Known by—Coiffure. Assistant Business Manager of “Tatler”; member of Choral Club. EVA IRENE TOPPER (“Eve”) Salisbury, Md. “With courage there cannot he truth. “Eve” is another member who hails from Fruit-land. “Eve” always does exactly what her teachers tell her and therefore gets through her daily lessons without mishap. “Eve” is persevering in all her studies. Eva does not seem to be crazy over the boys but just before algebra class she seems to be surrounded by them making up that which they have not. Eva is very practicable and we are sure she will succeed in anything which she attempts to do in the future. Thing she can’t do—Make some noise. Known by—Black hair. Member of E. E. C.

Virginia is very quiet and her general voice does not carry well, so some¬ times we are forced to shout “louder please.” Virginia takes all this very good naturedlv. Virginia gets along wonderful¬ ly in her studies and she gets them without any trouble. In history Virginia always wants to start an argument which leads to a general dis¬ cussion. Known by—Her voice. Thing she can’t do—Make teachers mad. Member of I). E. C. MARY MILDRED TRUITT (“Mig”) Pittsville, Md. ' ' ll inning iter way with an extreme gentle¬ ness. Mig ’ is small in stature but that doesn ’t prevent her from reaching the high things in life and in school work. Mary ' s big, brown eyes seem to talk when she is explaining or trying to help someone as she always is. Mary takes a very good lolc in a play because she can put so much expression in it with the help of her bird¬ like voice. It is hard to tell what this young brunette w i 11 future, but it is our opinion that she will get married and be a good little housewife. Things she can’t do—Bluff. Known by—Size. Member of D. E. C.

THE TAT LEE 19 23 MARGARET LOUISE TWILLEY (“Peggy”) Salisbury, Md. “Always steady and easy.” Margaret can be seen every morning rid¬ ing to school in a Dodge, but somehow that Dodge never gets here on time. When you see Martha, you can find “Peg¬ gy” somewhere around. Margarets says, “A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse when my Dodge breaks down.” Although “Peggy” doesn‘t say much she is always in for fun. But in Book¬ keeping class her face loses its brightness. Margaret, the world is wide, so we wish you every success. Thing she can’t do—Remember History. Known by—Walk. Member of A. E. C. ERNEST TRUITT VENEABLES (“Erny”) Mardela Springs, Md. “Music of any kind is food for my mind. After wandering about in the wilds of Mardela for several years, “Erny’s” ideals were raised and he decided to further ad¬ vance his education by joining our class this year. He immediately found a place wait¬ ing for him in our orchestra and he has serv¬ ed it faithfully throughout the year. Ernest’s chief delight is in asking ques¬ tions and starting arguments, and if he knows the answers to all the questions he has asked his knowledge must be very com¬ pact. Thus we speed Ernest on his way and if he makes as good a hit with the world as with the class of ’23 we can assure him of great success. Thing he can’t do—Vamp girls. Known by—Large mouth. Member of orchestra; member of E. E. C. Page Sixty-one W. H. 8. THE TA TIER 1 9 2 3 ALBERT WILSON WARD ( 4 ‘ Ab ’) Salisbury, Md. “God made him, therefore let him pass as a man. ’ 9 For a boy, so unsophisticated, “Ab” thinks he knows a lot but it doesn’t mean anyth.ng, and the way he shakes his wicked feet at dances is a crime. However if every one was perfect there would be no variety so “Ab” is the spice of life in the Senior Class. He is always lively and in a good humor and we wish him the best success in everything he attempts in the future. Our friend ‘ i Ab ’ ’ is a lion with ladies and even the teachers are forced to laugh at his witty remarks. We owe a lot to him for his support of this book. Thing he can’t do—Grow tall. Known by—His dancing. Member of E. E. C. GLADYS PEARL WELLS (“Wellsy”) Willards, Md. “To scorn delights and live laborious days . ” “Wellsy” is another of our classmates who conies from Pittsville. She is extremely zealous in her studies and is an earnest work¬ er, thus she has made a hit with our class. Her motto must be, “Speak onlv when spoken to,” for she never says much except when she is called upon and then she comes forth with an illustrious answer. Whatever career Gladys may adopt we know she will not do otherwise than suc¬ ceed. Thing she can’t do—Be lively. Known by—Bright eyes. Member of The D. E. C. Page Sixty-two w. H. 8. THE TAIL ER LILLIAN ESTELLE WHITEHEAD (“Lil”) Sal isbury, Md. “Power dwells in cheerfulness . ” Tlie quotation above perfectly describes our old stand-by, “Lil, ” for she has been with us several years and we thoroughly know her character. Giggles would perhaps fit her better as a nickname for this is her chief pastime. No comic mistake ever es¬ capes her notice and she always has an ac¬ cumulation of jokes ready to spill at any time. Yet, Lillian does complete justice to her lessons and has completed her course here thus qualifying herself to enter Normal School next fall, which she expects to do. Thing she can’t do—Vamp the boys. Known by—Curly hair. Member of the E. E. C. When 1 saw her hair I laughed at it; for brevity is the soul of wit. Here is our class humorist and we could not have done better in our choice for “Lib¬ by” is always brimming over with mirth and we can always tell when she is near because of her incessant giggling. She always has something funny to say and because of her comic remarks she enlivens many dark hours. It has been said that opposites attract but Elizabeth has proven that this isn’t so, for a blonde boy, we all know very well, has seemed to find great attraction in those light brown tresses. y Thing she can’t do—Keep away from Fishers Known by—Curly bobbed hair.

She is the very one we .needed to arouse us, for her shrieking voice is heard constantly in out¬ class rooms. It is said that she is a fair one to the other sex for always in conversation with her the name of Calvin is brought to our ears. We all have a mental picture of her in the country school room where she says she will teach next year. So here’s to the success of our old pal, ‘ ‘ Tiddley-Winks. ’ ’ Thing she can’t do—Grow up. Known by—Her baby voice. Member of The D. E. C. MARY ELIZABETH WILLIAMSON (“Kiz”) Salisbury, Md. “Exert your talents and distinguish yourself” Elizabeth left us for half a year while we caught up with her and while we were with¬ out her we missed her very much. “Kiz” is full of pep and determination, and is easily provoked. However when in a good humor there can be no one with a more pleasant disposition and her helpful and thoughtful wavs have endeared her to all her classmates. Elizabeth shines in History for there s no better de- bator in the whole class. Thing she can’t do—Without Polar Frosties. Known by—Raven hair. Pupil Judge of Student Govt.; member of A. E. C.; member of C. C. Page Sixty-four W. H. S. THE TA TIER 19 23 FRANKLIN TURNER WILLING (“Frank”) Nanticoke, Md. To train the mind should be the first object and to stock it the next.” “Frank ” became a member of our class this year. Although he is quiet enough to make one think he is sleeping we know he is not because he is very bright and never mis¬ ses a question. His marks always surpass those of the other boys of his classes. We do not know what “Frank” intends to take up next year but we are sure he will succeed because he is so thoughtful and industrious. He is brimful of fun in his quiet way and we enjoy having him in our class. Thing he can’t do—Be serious. Known by—Freckles. Member of The D. E. C. LOIS ELIZABETH WILLING (“Lossy”) Nanticoke, Md. “Her voice was ever soft , gentle and low; an excellent thing in woman.” Lois is another one who has come from Nanticoke and she has certainly found a wel¬ come place in our class. She has a pleasant disposition and is a friend to everyone. “Lossy” does not pretend to have much af¬ fection for the opposite sex but we have caught her on the sly and we have a right to doubt her word. Lois is a good scholar and we are positive that she will accomplish great things in the future. , Thing she can’t do—Talk out loud. Known by—Modest ways. Member of The D. E. C. W . H . 8 .

Gertie” never seems to become excited or confused but always knows the right thing to do. She gives a pleasant word and a smile to everyone. Gertrude has proven to have quite a tal¬ ent for music and we can imagine her, some time in the future, on the stage. She is a great help to any one who has this task of getting up an entertainment for she is al¬ ways glad to help by using her voice. Thing she can’t do—Read French. Known by—High color. Member of P.

THE TAT LEE 19 23 T HIS is a very difficult task which has been placed before me, to write the History of the Senior Class. Some might say that it is very easy because in the same school practically the same things happen each year but that is not so because each class excels in different things, some in Knowledge, some in Athletics, others in Dramatics, and still others in So¬ ciability, while we the Class of ’23 stand out and have made our mark in all of these things in the four years of our High School Course. In the fall of 1919 we entered Wicomico High School proud of the fact that we could even be called “Freshies,” but so timid that we could hardly do anything but run when we saw a senior or some of the faculty coming to¬ ward us. But for the untiring efforts of Mr. Clark and Miss Dashiell to break us in we would still be wild colts. In our freshman year with the help of our adviser we very successfully gave two plays, “Christmas at Pump¬ kin Hollow and Scenes from a Train,” both of w’hich were highly praised by good critics. The next fall we came back no longer little “Freshies” but sophomores, the wise and foolish. This year Miss Killiam guided our boat safely into har¬ bor and under her direction we gave the plays, “The Economical Boomer¬ ang” and “That Awful Aunt.” But the greatest of all the honors for soph¬ omore year came when one of our members was elected Captain of Soccer Team No. 1 of Wicomico High School. The following year we entered with the hope of soon being seniors This L C ,° rdrey Came t0 us as new Principal and made manv changes. With the help of Miss Porter, our class advisor, and Miss Ruth Powell, who is Page Sixty eight THE TATLER a friend to everybody, we were able to run the Cafeteria to raise funds for our annual Junior-Senior Banquet. We also entertained the school by the plav “Two of a Kind.” Oh! Here we are back to school again, “Seniors”! Glorying in the fact that we have almost reached our goal, but at the same time having a very deep regret at even the thought of leaving our dear High School, the scene of many interesting and exciting times. At our first Class meeting we elected our officers and chose Mrs. Pope as our advisor, to whose patience and untir¬ ing efforts we owe the printing of our “Tatler.” We started the school en¬ tertainments again this year by giving “A Pretty Piece of Business.” We soon elected our staff and began to work with ail our might to put over a good year book and make it a success and we wish to express our thanks to members of the School Board for their wonderful help which they gave us. In our Senior year we lost one of our very dear friends, Jeannette Huffing- ton, who was forced to leave school because of her health. We also lost one of our very dear and most helpful friends and teachers when Miss Ruth Powell left us to continue her course of study at Columbia. Now that we are about to separate and continue life’s journey alone, we feel our school days here have left one fond, lasting memory with us all. In future years we shall live over our High School days together, and fondly re¬ call those incidents which have stood out most prominently during our short stay at W. H. S. As Columbus set out on the ocean, With unknown hardships to bear, So the Seniors set out on life’s journey, May all wish that their winds will blow fair. II. Perdue, ’23. Page Sixty nine W. H. S.

Upon inquiring one finds that this is the day for the weekly rehearsal of the orchestra. For several years we have had music in the Wicomico High School con¬ sisting of violins, cornets and piano but not until last year when the orchestra was organized under the leadership of John Hopkins has much genuine in¬ terest been shown. In having a leader who is able to instruct and correct them the pupils find they obtain real help for themselves and are quite a benefit for the school. A great majority of the members report every Wednesday afternoon in the Assembly for practice. They do not lag behind and come only for special occasions. Their true interest is in the orchestra and they apply their en¬ thusiasm so genuinely that quite a good deal of work is accomplished at the rehearsal. The orchestra takes a part in most of the school activities, playing at Par¬ ent-Teachers ’ Association, meetings, entertainments, etc. By all these things they are building up the best orchestra of which our school has been able to boast. The members of the orchestra are: Instructor — John Hopkins First Cornet — Ernest Venables First Violins — Hubert Johnson Reginald Houston Charles Hearne Everett Hughes Wilfred Hastings William Wilson Marion Adams Grace Culver Grace Walls Lillian C. Parker Second Cornet — Blanche Hopkins Saxophones — Nelson Vetra Paul Hearn Richard Insly Euphorium — Handel Hopkins ViolinceHo — Henrietta Hopkins Second Violins — Kenneth Browell Ralph Holloway Marion Parsons James Little Randall Cordrey So ' o Mandolin — Louise Fields Trap Drum — Ethelyn Hopkins Piano — Nettie Colbourne C.

THE TA TLER 19 23 Sttgltah (EUtba of ’23 In September, 1922, the 4A and 4B English classes organized the Adel- phia, Demosthenes, Excelsior and Progressive English Clubs. The respective offices of the clubs were, the President, Secretary and Treasurer. The com¬ mittees appinted by the President were “The Program Committee ’ consist¬ ing of three persons, and four critics, each person holding office for four weeks. The object of these clubs was to train the students to speak before a small company clearly, distinctly and fluently. Around Thanksgiving a Senior class party was given with the money from the club treasury. The clubs proved to be very successful and about the last of the semester, pins with the initials of the respective clubs, were bought by the members. E. Rencher, ’23. (Eljuntl (Hub In our High School, as in all good High Schools, “Music hath charms to sooth,” etc. Miss Alice M. Killam has recognized this and has introduced melody into our school in the form of a choral club. The choral club ' s chief aim this year was to sing on Commencement Night, but next year, and in the following years to come, music will be a part of one ' s classwork and it will be counted as a unit toward graduation. This is a very enjoyable pastime and it is indeed a benefit to the school. A. Smith, ' 23. Page Ninety-five W. H. S. THE TA T L E R 19 23 ®lje Alumni Aaaoriattmt The Alumni Association of the Wicomico High School held its third an¬ nual reunion in the High School building Wednesday evening, December 27, 1922. The attendance at this meeting was about two hundred and fifty grad¬ uates, while not so large as was expected yet, everyone was delighted with the entertainment and the renewing of old friendship and they forgot about the small number. After the meeting was called to order by the President, Mr. H. W. Ruark, the minutes of the former meeting were read by the Secretary, Miss Mary Little, then followed the roll call of the classes dating from 1876 to the class of 1923 inclusive. Next the officers for the coming year were elected. In rotation they were: President, Mr. Ralph 0. Dulany; Vice-president, Miss Maria Ellegood; Sec¬ retary, Miss Mary Little; Assistant Secretaries, Miss Eva Wimbrow and Mr. Hohn Howie; Treasurer, Miss Laura Wailes. Executive Committee, Mr. E. Sheldon Jones, Misses Amy Bennett and Alma Lankford. Students’ Aid Fund, Colonel A. W. W. Woodcock, Miss Maria Ellegood and Mr. Graham Gunby. A report from the Students’ Aid Fund was then read. A motion was made and adopted that if the Alumni had any surplus money from year to year it would be turned toward this cause. The High School Orchestra under the leadership of Professor John Hop¬ kins furnished music for the occasion. Songs were sung by the Misses Agnes Howie, Letty Tilghman and Thelma Dryden, Class of ’23, and also an enjoy¬ able recitation was given by Miss Mary Ilearne, which because of her expres¬ sion and gestures made it seem very realistic. At the conclusion of the pro¬ gram delicious refreshments were served, the girls of ’23 acting as waitresses, during which time the guests enjoyed social chats. The pleasant evening’s entertainment was concluded by an informal dance in which all were cordially invited to participate. M. Taylor, Page Ninety-six w. H. 8 . THE TAT LER 19 23 iErl) 0 rfi of %. The Junior Class for the first time has taken upon itself the responsibility of editing a school paper. The idea was first proposed by Mr. Cordrey at a Junior Class meeting. Finding that the idea was well received the officers for the paper were decided upon and the name chosen for the paper was 44 Echoes Of W. II. S.” The class then set about obtaining subscribers to the paper. Before the first issue was gotten out quite a few subscribers were enlisted but not nearly so many as were hoped for. However, enough sub¬ scriptions and advertisements were obtained to at least point out a clear way to pay for editing the paper. Mr. Hackett, the class advisor, has had the responsibility of directing the paper and he has certainly shown himself equal to the task. The editors have proven very energetic news gatherers and the paper is always brimful of news. The Juniors have shown a very good literary ability which will make them more capable and better able to publish their year book, Tiie Tatler, so that theirs may be better than any published before.

THE TAT LEU 19 23 i orr?r As soon as school opened last fall all the boys were interested in soccer, and because of the fine weather practice was started immediately. At the call for recruits by coaches Unger and Hackett fifty boys responded. Around the few boys left from last year’s squad they planned to build a winning team. After hard practice we opened our season on September 29 with a de¬ cisive victory of 4-0 over Delmar on our field. On October 13, Wicomico won her second victory when she defeated Sharptown with a score of 1-0 on the latter’s grounds. The thirty-first of the same month the Sharptown’s hooters lost again to the local boys with a score of 3-1, played on the home grounds. On Friday, November 2, we went to Delmar and with the odds against us we succeeded in scoring 1-0. This victory gave us the County Championship. The home hooters met stiff opposition at Sharptown when they played Hur- lock for the Eastern Shore Title, beating them only by a score of 1-0. On November 22 the soccer team went to play St. Michaels at Ilurloek in which encounter the local lads came home with the victory of 1-0. On December 3 the team went to Crisfield and after playing extra halves to try and break the tie the game was called on account of darkness, leaving the score 1-1. The boys then went to Greensboro where they defeated Rock Hall with a score of 4-0. The last game of the season played at Ilurloek between Federals- burg and Wicomico for the Eastern Shore Championship was lost with a score of 2-0. The second team played two games, one with Hebron in which they came out the victors and the other with Mardela. Here again they were victors with a very high score. They helped the first team in practice and made them¬ selves better able to fill the places of the first team graduates. SOCCER LINE-UP: LT. Full—W. Price R Half —N. Guthrie L. Half—H. Ihsley- C.

Davis Page One Hundred One Boy’s Basketball Team ®aak?tball Although we were rather late in starting basketball, with the material we had and skilled coaching of Mr. Duffy we made a winning team. Our fiist game was scheduled against Pocomoke. We succeeded in de¬ feating them in the first ten minutes of play. During the last five minutes of play the second team took the floor. The game ended with a score of 49-14. The Pocomoke players were handicapped as they did not have a floor to prac¬ tice on. The second game of the season was played in the Armory where the Wi¬ comico five downed the Crisfield five with a score of 32-6. On February 20 the Wicomico tossers met the Cambridge quintet on the Armory floor. Wicomico beat them easily with the score of 34-4. On Tuesday, February 23, Wicomico lost to Cambridge on the latter’s floor. The game was the poorest the local five have figured in this season. Al- Page One Hundred Two W. H. S. THE TATLER 19 23 though they took a brace in the second half they were unable to overcome the commanding lead which Cambridge piled up in the first half. 1 he second game played with Crisfield on their floor, was another victory added to W. H. S., although the floor was small and the baskets not regula¬ tion size. We rolled in 19 points to their 11. The last game of the season was played with Cambridge on our floor in which the local five won. This cleaned up the championship for the W. II. S. During the first half of the season we did not have our regular team ow¬ ing to the fact that David Dallas had an injured hand. During the last half of the season M. Parker, star forward, was not playing on account of injuries in his foot. laBpball Pitching problems must be solved by Coach Duffy. On Monday, March 12, Coach Duffy issued the first call for candidates for the baseball team. In response about thirty men reported for the initial practice. Such an aggregation was indeed pleasant to Coach Duffy and little can be said of the squad at this time but the prospects are indeed bright. Warm weather is with us again and this is especially gratifying to the squad. The coach will drive his charges at a rapid gait for the next few days in preparation for the opening game with Princess Anne March 27. A big hole was knocked into an already weak pitching staff by graduation and Coach Duffy will have trouble to fill up this vacancy. The receiving end will probably be handled by Chatham. The infield will have to be built about Davis and Moore, the only surviv¬ ors of last year’s regulars. Price of past season’s nine will probably win a regular position in the inner defense. A hard hitting trio should be de¬ veloped from the rather promising candidates for the field positions. Me left for Princess Anne with a large number of rooters. The ame proved very exciting. The local lads succeeded in beating their opponents with a score of 8-1. Page One Hundred Four W. H. s THE TAT LE R 19 23 (Eire dirlfi’ AtljletirB Last year the girls played volley ball with a great deal of enthusiasm un¬ til field day came around when the eight girls who were chosen tried their skill for the championship of Wicomico County. They succeeded and were sent to Baltimore to compete with the opposing counties. Our girls were vic¬ torious until they were put up against Ellicott City before their rest period had been sufficient for them to recover their freshness. However, they held their reputation as being good losers when they were defeated by a few points. During their stay at Baltimore they were entertained by the State Normal School. Last fall the girls played volley ball very keenly but on account of the lack of an Athletic Advisor the games were suspended until future notice. The student class of girls who are members of the “Y” played basketball with a great deal of pep which seemed to prove more interesting than volley ball. A very interesting game was played between the two teams of the class. Ruth Silverman was the Captain of the Red team and Katherine Hagen Cap¬ tain of the Black team. They played a very interesting game which resulted i n the favor of the Black team. This spring Miss Long was the director of Girls’ Athletics. Her plans have w T orked out very well and there is a promising future in store for us. And we are sure that under the supervision of Miss Long the volley ball team will bring the long expected State honors to the Eastern Shore.

Agts 914 Fidelity Bldg. Baltimore, Md. Is 180 Years Of Proof Enough? In ordinary service an electric cleaner travels only four times over the same spot on a rug at a single cleaning; twice forward and twice back. Figuring two cleanings weekly, the same spot is thus cleaned 416 times across a Wilton rug, the equivalent of 180 years of home ser¬ vice, without the slightest injury to the rug. An electric clean¬ er without a motor driven brush is not a times a year. In a special test made by a representative of the Chamber of Commerce at Columbus, O., a Hoover taken from stock at a ocal store was propelled 74,434 sweeper. There are only three electric sweepers made. The other two manufacturers are paying the Hoover Company a royalty to use the motor driven brush. Ask yourself the question.
