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. 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 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
