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. 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 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
