VOLUME XII OF The Tatler 1925 PUBLISHED ANNUALLY BY THE SENIOR CLASS O F WICOMICO HIGH SCHOOL De dication To the Advertisers and all others who have aided in the publication of this book, we, the class of 1925, dedicate this edition. Foreword Come, Schoolmates and Friends: The 1925 Tatler bids you amble with it into the pleasant memories of the past year at Wicomico High School. We have tried to produce a book which shall be, in some measure at least, “all things to all men”—to the students a record of one of the most eventful years in the history of our school; to the alumni a renewal of old and pleasant memories; and to our friends a little insight into our high school life and activities. In doing this we have endeavored to meet as high a standard as the annual publication of any high school in the State, and, at the same time, present for your approval a book which will uphold in every particular the dignity, the honor, and the reputation of W. H. S. If the 1925 Tatler can bring some bright recollection or happy smile to you as you turn its pages, it is content that it has contributed at least something to our Alma Mater’s glory.

PORTER A truer friend and a more efficient leader can¬ not be found than our advisor, Miss Porter. To her wise guidance, unusual business ability, and untiring efforts can be traced the success of many class and high school undertakings. Giving much of her time and energy to the preparation of this publication, her unselfish and kindly help have gained for her the undying gratitude of the class of ' 25. 10 THE T AT LE R—l 9 25 PROFESSOR C.

WHEELER We now introduce to you one of the most genial members of W. H. S. faculty and our jolly class advisor, Mr. A. P. Wheeler. In all the dif¬ ficulties we have experienced, he has been on hand with his words of advice and cheer. His deep in¬ terest in all student activities, and his happy jovial disposition have won for him the esteem and good will of the entire student body of W. H. S. MR. A. P.

And whatever we achieve in the way of success, We’ll owe to the Faculty of W. H. S. Our Principal comes first in heart, soul and mind, For Mr. Cordrey as a teacher has ever been kind. With honest endeavor; unselfish and true, He has led us by precept the long years thru. On the list is Mr. Wheeler; our beloved science teacher, Who judged by his goodness, should have been a preacher. For our English we are indebted to dainty Mrs. Pope, Who cheered us with a smile and encouraged us with hope. And there’s Mr. Donoho in Room No. Nine, I would that his knowledge of English were mine. He was not a great talker, and we’re glad there was no need, But the advice he has given we’ll do well to heed. Our Algebra class surely would have been in a stew, But for Miss Ida Morris and the things she knew. Mrs. Cox is not forgotten with her “Beau est le matin”, For it was no easy task to teach us French and Latin. In Biology, Mr. McIntosh, who denies he’s old, Knows more of the subject than has ever been told. We are daily discovering in his nature new traits, And as often engaging in wordy debates. And here’s to Miss Bennett, so young and so fair, With sparkling grey eyes and chestnut brown hair. THE T AT L E R—‘1 9 2 5 19 Now don’t think for a moment we’re overlooking Miss Nock, She’s a teacher par-excellence, and firm as a rock. Her watchful eyes quiets the sophomore terrors, While she doctors our spelling and grammatical errors. Mr. Duffy (must be Irish) the Athlete of Washington College, Came down with a store of wonderful knowledge, And taught us our Civics and explained Federal Banks, And a great deal besides, for which we extend thanks. Behind the big oaken desk reigns Miss Holliday, A teacher of teachers in her own quiet way. With blue eyes that sparkle and a wealth of pretty curls, No wonder she is the idol of the boys and the girls. But woe to the Freshman with his little sing, song Who reported ‘ ' unprepared” to capable Miss Long. No reflections, of course, Miss Long is very sweet, An excellent teacher and a splendid athlete. Miss Fisher and Miss Davis might be classed as petite, Full of frolic and fun but always discreet. From a host of good teachers you can’t pick the best, But Miss Parker and Miss Messick need not fear the test. They’re experts at sewing, and their sha- e of good looks, Will make them attractive as wives or plain cooks. The worth of Miss Dryden; and she is a p ize, Is not to be compared with the Lady in size. Miss Killiam, we love her, and its not fair to tease, But the Lilies and King Solomon, be quiet, please. £0 the t at lE r—i 9 $5 She teaches Geometry and does it so well, Who cares if she dresses like the daisy in the dell. Mr. Carroll, our Chemist, with demeanor so placid, May teach, but is not touched with the sting of the acid. Mr. Gardner, whose auto won’t run when its raining, Is just the Cats’ Whiskers in Manual Training. He is decidedly popular with the ambitious boys Who are merging into manhood and done with their toys. Miss Phillips and Miss Straughn are as busy as bees. Correcting our papers and giving us “C’s”. They’re bookkeeping and typewriting experts, And even when we think of it, our tired brain hurts. Every one of us holds in the highest esteem, Miss Winnie Phillips, who’s like a girl of sixteen. Miss Alma Lankford, now what can be said, And where did she learn all that’s stored in her head? Her fertile brain’s filled with odd little nooks, And knowledge surpassing any we find in the books. Here’s our respects to Miss Porter, our beloved advisor For we never, we never could have chosen one wiser. For the help she has given in her own sweet way. She’s enshrined in our hearts forever and a day. Then there’s Mrs. Cissel, the last on the list, A teacher to be loved, remembered and missed. And now, dear faculty, that our schooldays are done, And the world is before us and success to be won, THE TATLER—19 25 To you who have labored and so patiently wrought, For your counsel and guidance, for all you have taught; Think not we’ll forget thru the length of the years, For the loudest in laughter are the closest of tears.

Bennett, has done much to promote the progress of the schools in this County. JAMES M. BENNETT County Superintendent 4 - •EO. 2 h THE TAT LE R—l 925 When I learned that I was to write the class history a great weight seemed to have fallen upon me, for I realized the responsibility and knew I could by no means justify my classmates. But, nevertheless, when you read my futile efforts kindly overlook all errors and think, perhaps I could have done worse. We made our debut into the routine of High School life of 1921 when we came over as “Freshies”. After the initiation we settled down and endeavored to banish all elementary school characteristics but always stood in awe of the higher classes, especially the Seniors. We soon organized our class choosing Miss Wilson as advisor and it was with her help and encouragement that we were able to make a success of our play, “Aunt Jemina’s Christmas.” The next year as Sophomores, with the aid of Miss Kilpatrick, our leader, we gave a plav, “The Bird’s Christmas Carol”, which met with great applause. In February our very dear friend, Miss Ruth Powell, who was always interested in our welfare, left us to enter upon a larger field of work. At the beginning of the ensuing year all of us selected our course, Academic or Commercial, and now began in earnest to do great and zeal¬ ous things such as became our position. This year Miss Gordy was our worthy friend and helper, and only through her great diligence and skill, were we able to present our play, “The Return of the Calculus”, and to have a successful banquet for the Seniors. Another vacation had passed and we were back in school. In September we reached the acme of our high school ambition for we were registered as Seniors. How delighted we were to have such a dignified and honorable position but yet deep down in our hearts lurked a feeling of regret that we would soon leave school, for many were the ties that bound us to dear W. H. S. Our relationship with our various teachers is something which will always be held sacred by each Senior, for they, with their pedagogical knowledge and ability, have guided us safely and wisely across the sea of learning. We organized our class choosing Mr. THE TAT LER—19 25 25 Wheeler and Miss Porter as advisors. At first the probability of a “Tatler” was doubtful but finally we succeeded in procuring the funds necessary to edit one. Never can we express our great appreciation to our faithful helpers who have assisted us over many pitfalls and difficul¬ ties, always ready to lend their aid and co-operation to any project. To them we owe the success of this yearbook. After we are graduated and have been sifted and blown about by the four winds of fortune, may we in our respective places try to be worthy of W. H. S. Let us always keep before our eyes in large forceful letters our motto: “Be Rowers, Not Drifters.” In the years after we are graduated, And are reviewing the reminiscences of the past; May our memories revert to our school days, And cling to impressions that will forever last.

When Skeet joined our ranks several years ago he was apparently just a quiet, innocent little Freshie. But, oh, what a change! One would never know him to be the same person. Today we see him a big, broad-shouldered athlete, starring in soccer, basketball, baseball and it is even rumored that he has taken up golf. He is also quite a lady ' s man, being on hand at all the parties and dances. Skeet, we trust that your success in life will not be limited to athletics but that you will reach out and grasp some of the other golden opportunities that are presenting themselves to you every day. Favorite Expression — ' At ' s the stuff. Known By —Sporty clothing. Hobby —Engineering. English Club Baseball Team Basketball Team Soccer Roger Herman Bounds “Star” Allen, Md. “A man after his own heart” Roger drives to school every day in his Ford Sedan. We don ' t know what we ' d do without his jitney for he is most obliging when it comes to going errands for us. He is full of fun and foolishness which sometimes gets him in wrong. When everyone is serious Roger will “pipe up with some funny remark or give that peculiar laugh of his. Roger showed his true colors during soccer season. Whenever Miss Porter would ask how many were going out for soccer practice, Roger ' s hand was the first to be raised. Favorite Expression —Ah by Heck! Known By —Generous disposition. Hobby —Driving a Ford. Order of Gregg Artists Soccer Team Order of Artistic Typists English Club 28 THE T AT LE R—1 925 Eva Lucille Bounds “Lou” Salisbury, Maryland. “Tall and erect the maiden stood, Like some young priestess of the Wood.” Now for a quiet and industrious young lady, let us introduce to you Lucille Bounds. She not only shines in her class work, but is also quite a star athlete. Those who attended the girls’ basketball games will recall that she was always on the job as side-center. Lucille, Grace and Sara are great pals. You very seldom see Lucille with¬ out one or the other of these girls. We do not recall any expression from Lu¬ cille in regard to her plans after leaving W. H. S. but whatever she may choose we wish her much success. Favorite Expression —Mercy! Known By —A. B. B. C. ring. Girls’ Basketball Team Louis Morris Byrd “Birdie” Salisbury, Maryland. “Observe the Postage Stamp; its use¬ fulness depends on its ability to stick to one thing till it gets there.” First impressions are said to be most lasting but often they are deceiving. Anyone seeing Morris for the first time would think him a very quiet boy, but those who know him say “not so.” What would the seniors do without his orange fountain pen? Whenever anyone forgets his pen or pencil Morris is always on hand with this “famous pen.” Morris has never gone in very ac¬ tively for high school athletics, but he plays on the Asbury Church league bas¬ ketball team. Good luck, Morris. Favorite Expression —Hot dogs! Known By —Fountain pen. Hobby —Physics. English Club T English Club THE TAT LER—19 25 29 Sara Jane Bounds “Sara” Eden, Md. “A music as a household songs, Was in her voice of sweetness ” Watch her blush when Mrs. Pope says “Sara Jane.” We wonder why. Maybe it is because someone else calls her by that name. We can ' t be sure, yet it looks very suspicious. Sara says she ' s not going to do any¬ thing after graduation, but we all know that if a certain one from Laurel has anything to say about it, she will be¬ come a resident of that town. We, the class of ' 25, wish you happiness. Favorite Expression —“Dear!” Known By —Her blush. Hobby —Talking about Laurel. English Club William Francis Bounds, Jr. “Bill” Salisbury, Md. “He’s a self-made man” Bill is another of our athletes. He plays soccer for all he is worth, and his big, brawny figure, when seen on the field, is enough to strike terror in the heart of any foe. He also takes a very active part in basketball. Bill says that it would be a far better world if there were no typewriters, be¬ cause his fingers simply refuse to hit the keys fast enough. But after much suspense and not a little practice, he has at last made the required 40 words. Here ' s three cheers for Bill! Favorite Expression —Dog-gone-it. Known By —Clipped hair. Hobby —Eating Home Room President Basketball Team Business Manager Tatler English Club Soccer Team 4 30 THE T AT LE R—l 9 25 James Walter Betts “Jim” Salisbury, Md. “He had a heart as mellow, As an apple over-ripe.” Jim may well be called our champion “gum-chewer” for one seldom sees him without his chewing gum. Jim is an all-round good sport. Although he does not take an active part in athlet¬ ics, he is ready at any time to do his share in supporting the teams, and is always on hand when Field Day rolls around. Jim thinks that it’s due to his being at Joe’s store on Saturday that business is so rushing, but we know better. Remember, Jim, the best wishes of ’25 are with you wherever you go. Favorite Expression —Great Scott! Known By —His chewing gum. Hobby —Working at Joe’s. English Chib Vera Beatrice Brittingham “Piggie” Salisbury, Md. “A merry heart thou hast, and kind.” Piggie has been a true friend to all of us during our four years at W. H. S. She is quite a “giggler” but unlike many of us she knows when to giggle. The Commercial Department is proud to claim her for she is a very fine stu¬ dent. If we were not pledged to secrecy we might tell you some very interesting things about Piggy’s romance. Any¬ way we’ll give you this tip from one who knows. She’s a real vamp. Piggie’s ambition is to be a nurse and we extend to her our best wishes in this worthy profession. Favorite Expression —“Oh, my land!” Known By —Her smile. Hobby —Going to Delmar. English Club Order of Artistic Typists THE T AT LE R—l 925 31 George Clyde Booth “Bootie” Salisbury, Md. “Learned in youthful sports and pas¬ times, In all manly arts and labors.” George is one of our star athletes. You should see him shoot goals, in basketball. Not only that, but he plays soccer and baseball equally as well. He ' s as changeable as the wind and each week finds him with a new girl. In class “he sometimes sets and thinks and sometimes he just sets.” Say the word “party” and this lad goes wild. We hope he’s not weighted down by his studies. “Get thee hence, dull care,” seems to express his feelings. Luck to you, Bootie! Favorite Expression —Applesauce! Known By —His slick hair. Hobby —Girls. English Club Soccer Team Eva Blanch Brown “ Brownie ” Salisbury, Md. ‘‘She can cook best things to eat.” Blanche is another member of our class who left us at midyear and don’t say we haven’t missed her. She oc¬ casionally comes back to see us but only for a brief visit. Her great ambition is to be a nurse and we are sure that with her sweet smile and words of cheer she will be a real “Sister of Mercy”. The patients will forget about their ach§s and pains when Brownie is around. Here’s wishing success to you Brownie, in the noble profession which you have chosen. Favorite Expression —Oh Heavens! Known By —Her smile. Hobby —Talking about her numerous dates. English Club Basketball Team Baseball Team 32 THE T AT LE R—l 9 25 Minnie Amelia Brown “Min” Salisbury, Md. “Give everyone thine ear , but few thy voice” Minnie is one of the quiet members of the class, as well as one of the few of the English Club who can speak without notes. It is really remarkable how she can stay calm when all the rest of us are screaming with mirth. We feel sure that this sincere, quiet, and stead¬ fast manner will help her greatly in any career she may happen to choose. Whatever Minnie may attempt to do she has the best wishes of the Class of ’25. Favorite Expression —Well, I don ' t! Known By —Mouselike ways. Hobby —Playing the violin. English Club Grace Pearl Culver “Dickey” Salisbury, Md. “She is tall and slim , And all hearts doth win” Someone has said that Grace has the most patient, loving, and gentle dispo¬ sition of any member of the class. To those of us who intimately know the members of this “model class we feel that Grace should feel quite elated over this remark. With her agreeable manner and the thorough business training she has re¬ ceived as a student of the commercial department, Grace has very efficiently assisted with the office work. Cheer up, Grace! It isn ' t like you to look so sad, but we understand. He ' ll come home soon and then think how happy you will be! Favorite Expression —Oh Pshaw! Known By —Her good looking car. Hobby —Helping in the Office. English Club Orchestra Order of Artistic Typists Order of Gregg Artists THE TAT LER—19 25 33 Agnes Mae Clarke “Jonny” Salisbury, Md. “Laugh and be happy for tomorrow you may marry ” Our friend Agnes is a very quiet commercial girl. She is always on time, coming to school every morning in a Ford Sedan. Agnes is a very good Shorthand stu¬ dent and has won many honors in the commercial department. She has very efficiently assisted Miss Lankford in the library during her vacant periods this year. Agnes was not satisfied with win¬ ning typewriting medals—nothing short of diamonds would do for her—no, this wasn’t awarded by the Underwood Typewriter Company—it was sent “special” by Santa Claus. The class of ’25 extends to you all its good wishes. We know you’re going to be an ideal wife. Favorite Expression —I’ll be dog-gone. Known By —Ring. Hobby —Gazing at the moon. English Club Order of Artistic Typists Order of Gregg Artists William Cecil Cooper “Bill” Salisbury, Md. “Let us then be up and doing , With a heart for any fate” Here is a fellow who can carry five subjects and still make “A.” We con¬ sider that a record of which one may well feel proud. He is a real “Trig” shark and its amazing the way he comes to class with his problems all finished. Bill has a mania for year books. You seldom see him without one. He is planning to go to the University of Maryland and we can only hope that his success there will be as great as it has been at W. H. S. Favorite Expression —He, ha! He, ha! Known By —Year books. Hobby —Studying. Associate Editor of Tatler English Club t 0 3U THE T AT LE R—l 925 Madeline Nancy Cordrey “Pete” Salisbury, Md. “We build the ladder by which we rise. Just a glance at Madeline and one can see “intelligence.” When all the other members of the class are worry¬ ing about tests, she keeps cool and calm and answers the questions without any difficulty. Oh, that we all were as brilliant as Madeline! In history class she is always ready to start a discussion and once it has been opened she does not hesitate to defend her opinions. We are proud that we can claim such a student as Madeline as a member of the class. Best Wishes to you Madeline in your career as teacher. Favorite Expression —“Well, isn’t that foolish?” Known By —Curls. Hobby —Fussing with Alma. English Club Elizabeth Mae Price “ Kizzy ” Salisbury, Md. “I am a little music-box. Wound up and made to go.” “Kizzy” is a member of our class who can always see the sunny side of life and helps to keep things moving. She. like numerous others in our class, seems to have little control of her tongue, and consequently is sometimes reprimanded by her teachers. Kizzy has a laugh all her own and it can be heard most any time. We’d know that laugh in China. She is undecided about going away to school. We are sure that whatever course in life she may choose her opti¬ mistic nature will bring her success. Favorite Expression —Mercy sakes! Known By —Laugh. Hobby —Falling in mud puddles. English C THE T AT LE R—l 9 25 35 Beatrice Virginia Disharoon “Bebe” Fruitland, Md. “Down in a green and shady bed, A modest violet grew.” You’ve heard that the best goods always comes in small packages—well, this is certainly applicable to Beatrice. She is very tiny, but also a very im¬ portant member of our class. Beatrice spends much of her time trying to decide whether to wear her hair up or bobbed. She settles the ar¬ gument with herself by wearing it first one style and then the other. Beatrice is a wonderful History stu¬ dent and her ambition is that she may some day succeed Mr. Cordrey at W. H. S. Favorite Expression —Oh, my hair! Known By —Her stature. Hobby —Astronomy. English Chib Cecil Marie Dryden “ Ma-Ree ” Salisbury, Md. “In her tongue is the law of kindness. When you gaze upon this little lady does she not remind you of a typical old-fashioned girl? Well she has many of the charming characteristics of this type, but along with it she is very up- to-date. Marie is very popular and has quite a few “once-in-a-whiles” but the “real j one” hails from Delmar. At noon you can often see her in Room 4 compos ing a note to “him.” She is a good student—I might say, ione of our best commercials. At present she plans to go to Temple -University to further pursue her com¬ mercial work. If she does, we feel sure that the same untiring efforts that brought her such a good record at W. H. S., will bring her even greater suc¬ cess at Temple. Favorite Expression —Wait a minute. Known By —Long tresses. Hobby —Thinking of C—. Order of Gregg Artists Order of Artistic Typists English Club Literary Editor of Tatler 36 THE TAT LER—19 25 Helen Gertrude Dennis Helen” Parsonsburg, Md. “Round her eyes her tresses fell. Which tvere blackest, none could tell.” Helen is always the same. Nothing ever worries or amuses her. She’s the class Sphinx in all things but one—she can talk. Oh, how she does talk! She doesn’t seem to dread in the least giv¬ ing an oral book report or a current event. Helen also writes poetry, and she says that one of her ancestors published a volume of poems. We think Helen would do better on the political plat¬ form, since she can even convince Mr. Cordrey that she knows her history when she doesn’t. Favorite Expression —“Well, it’s this way.” Known By —Her voice. Hobby —Laughing at the rest of us. English Club Alma Virginia Doody “Amie” Eden, Md. “Some quarrels, reconcilements sweet.” Alma says she hails from “No Man’s Land,” but we disagree, since it pro¬ duces such girls as Amie. She takes comic roles in our plays and acts them quite successfully. She is serious in all she does and her perserverance deserves reward. In domestic science class, she had great difficulty in getting her dress the way she wanted it, but after all the pouting was over, everything turned out nicely, which is usually the case where Alma is concerned. Favorite Expression —“I just don’t understand it.” Known By —Puzzled expression. Hobby —Fussing with Madeline. English Club 3? THE TATLER—1925 Joseph Leroy Disharoon Lee” Salisbury, Md. Noble by birth, yet nobler by great deeds.” Leroy is one of our best commercial students. He can type 50 words a minute without undue effort and can take Shorthand in fine style. These ac¬ complishments are indeed no easy mat¬ ter, for they can be attained only by constant practice and perseverance. Another of Leroy’s characteristics is his love for argumentation. As soon as someone advances a statement contrary to his opinion he immediately opposes it, but the fact that he must preserve his Senior dignity soon calms him. If anyone doubts Leroy’s ability to argue just ask a certain member of the 4B History Class. for both ZferTJ a |ltB UOn q ite “ athlcte eoing in Favorite Expression —Oh Gee! Known By —His walk. Hobby —Basketball. 0rder R°n f Mnn T rtiStS o 0rder °f Artistic Typists Basketball Team Soccer Team English Club Arthur Edward Dodd “ Doddie ” Salisbury, Md. With steady eyes that shown, Nor grief nor fear.” Here is the radio fan of Station W. H. S. When he isn’t talking radio he’s reading a radio magazine. The girls hold no attraction for Ar¬ thur. We are quite confident that in years to come he will make his home in some bachelor apartment—probably at the Wicomico Hotel. With no domestic responsibilities and cares we see noth¬ ing to mar his success as a business man. Someday he’ll probably be broad¬ casting his lecture on “The Joys of Bachelorhood.” Good luck, old boy. Favorite Expression —“Too much static.” Known By —Big feet. Hobby —Getting stations. English Club 38 THE T AT LE R—l 9 25 Sara Marie Freeman “SaUie” Salisbury, Md. “The earth seemed to love her, And Heaven smiled above her.” You’ve “Wondered what’s become of Sallie,” haven’t you? Well folks, here she is, and say, Sallie’s our pal but still our model. She’s our French prodigy, and can say “Je t’adore” and make ’em believe she means it. Its great, girls, to try to copy her style. Sallie, like her pal Mickey, is very fond of dancing. She’s also a fixture at all the basketball games. And say, you oughta see her at a party in one of her gay moods. The class of ’25 tender you our best wishes, “Sallie,” in your future career at Allegheny. Favorite Expression —I’ll bite—what is it ? Known By —Color schemes. Hobby —Collecting very large class rings. English Club Literary Editor Tatler Etta Florence Farlow “Etty” Salisbury, Maryland. “Old friends alius is best, Halest-like and heartiest.” Etta is one of the most conscientious members of our class. Never do we see her without a school book in her hands; she is constantly working on some as¬ signment or seeking information from one of her classmates, especially about History. “I just know I won’t pass,” is always on Etta’s lips, but in spite of her doubt, she always comes through successfully. Etta has coined several exclamations which are quite amusing. They cannot be found in Webster’s dictionary. Good luck to you, Etta, in your future career. Favorite Expression —“My!” Known By —Queer ejaculations. Hobby —Asking questions. English Club THE T AT L E R—1 9 2 5 39 Helen Mildred Fisher “ Mickey ” Salisbury, Md. “Full of fun as Puck could be, Harlequin might learn of thee And now you behold our well-known comrade “Mickey.” What would the Senior Class be without her? She’s always gay, and eager and ready for any good times that come along. Be¬ sides being very fond of parties, danc¬ ing etc., Mickey has a decided fancy for sports of all kinds, volley ball, basketball, skating, tennis, swimming, and driving. You ought to see her sometime, driving around in her Ford. When it comes to lessons, Mickey shines—when she wants to.

English Club Fred Titus Hill “ Freddie ” Salisbury, Md. “Seest thou a man diligent in business. He shall stand before kings.” Here, friends, is the silent member of our class. Fred very seldom talks but when he does he surely “says some¬ thing.” In History class several heated arguments were settled by him. If it had not been for the fact that he and Nina were such good friends, we won¬ der just what would have been the out¬ come of some of those arguments. We can certainly locate Fred on Sunday evening. Yes, he’s bound to be out in front of Asbury Church waiting for the “fair maiden.” Fred with his sterling qualities, is sure to succeed.

William is famous for his pictures of Movie Stars. He makes us all think he is the boss down at Ulman’s Opera House. William is quite an artist. In Trig class he displays his cartoons and often draws good caricatures on the board. When the second semester began, he changed his home room to Miss Blox- om’s, and now sits across from a very distinguished young lady who admires his drawings greatly. William, you have the good wishes of the class of ’25 in your future career. Favorite Expression —“I got a new picture yesterday.” Known By —His pictures. Hobby —Drawing. English Club Assistant Class Artist Ira Henry Hay man “Irie” Salisbury, Md. “Actions speak louder than words.” If grades were given at W. H. S. in “Dependability” we feel sure that Ira would be at the top of the list. When he says he will do a thing everyone knows that it will be done and done well. This is characteristic of all his work. He is Miss Straughn’s star book¬ keeping student, having completed all the work required by that department and then satisfactorily completing an advanced set of books. He has very efficiently assisted Miss Porter, our class advisor, in typing the material for this year book preparatory to publication. In all the business un¬ dertakings of the class Ira has stood ready and willing to assume more than his share of the responsibilities. We prophesy for him a brilliant future in the business world.

When the members of the committee were se¬ lecting seniors who in their opinions were best qualified to fill the various positions on the staff, it was with one accord that “Billy” was named as Ad¬ vertising Manager. He possesses that undefinable and priceless gift “a pleasing personality” which is so valuable an asset to anyone, and especially to one who must deal with the public. Billy is our class jester. We’ll never get the blues so long as we have him around. He is also our class jazz-hound. The harmony he can pro¬ duce from those traps is amazing. Billy we’re wishing you abundant success at Lehigh University. Favorite Expression —“I never said a word.” Known By —Perpetual grin. Hobby —Talking. English Club Advertising Manager of Tatler Staff Catherine Johnson Hayman Salisbury, Md. “Well by loving looks and ways. She doth her cost requite.” Here we have the class flirt. There are few of the opposite sex in old W. H. S. who have not fallen for “K” and her winning ways. Her winsome smile impels everyone to seek her acquaintance. Is she easily teased? Well, just ask some of the boys in her Chemistry class. “K” isn’t sure what she wants to do when she leaves W. H. S. but whatever course she may choose the good wishes of ’25 go with her.

Whenever anyone wants something done, they always call on Everett, and thev are always sure to hear him say, “I’ll try to, but I’m aw¬ fully busy.” He is secretary of the senior class and almost any day at noon he can be seen typing away on some of the class correspondence. He is on hand at ev ery class meeting, faithfully attending to his duties. We feel confident that some day he will realize his dream—to be a success¬ ful business man. Favorite Expression —I’ll be.

Orchestra Secretary of Class Order of Gregg Artists Treasurer of Finance Board English Club Order of Artistic Typists Manager of Baseball Team Nina Elizabeth Harris “Bobby” Salisbury, Md. “Then ran she, gamesome as the colt, And livelier than a lark.” Nina finished at the end of the first semester and visits us very seldom ex¬ cept when she comes for Domestic Science. Last Fall and Winter Nina was very active in Senior doings. The only time her cheerful presence was not welcome was when she came around to collect home room dues. Nina Harirs’ Candies are almost as famous now as Martha Washington or Whitman’s. We wouldn’t be surprised someday to see her candies highly advertised all over the country. We know that with Nina’s picture on the outside of a candy box and her good candy on the inside no one could resist buying. Favorite Expression —Bless Pat! Known By —Music Roll. Hobby —Making Candy.

He was a bright, earnest, student, and won manv friends at W. H. S. by his happy, jovial disposi¬ tion. We feel confident that he has a successful business career ahead of ' him. He was very much in love for a while and the old saying that “true love never runs smooth” is certainly applicable in this case. It was said that at one time he was heard singing “Gee, I wish I had my old girl back again” but he soon managed to tune his ear to merrier strains, as is typical of the sex. Good luck to you, Alton.

Quiet, subdued, intelligent, that’s “Click.” He operates a Ford with the alacrity of an aeroplane pilot. On his trips to and from school his favorite history may always be seen un¬ der his arm.

She comes in every day on the transit—too b- she doesn’t live on the Ocean City road for we’re sure she would find the pass¬ engers who travel on the Bus so much more congenial.

Is it not odd that so much wisdom could be contained in so small a cranium. No, for it is Richard the Great of whom I am speaking. Pea¬ nut is a basketball player of great re¬ nown, and it is to him that the M. P. Church Team owes so much of its suc¬ cess.

Beula’s works are the wonder and joy of our class. When she is deeply absorbed in a composition, no one would dare do anything to detract her atten¬ tion. When the masterpiece is finally completed there is a mad scramble to see who will be the first to read it. Besides being a literary genius, she is also a great favorite among her class¬ ic u -n . „ ,. , mates. We are all awaiting the day when she will put Salisbury on the map as “the town where Beula Jones, noted author, lived and attended school.” Favorite Expression —Oeo-oo-oo.

Class Prophetess English Club Society Editor of “Echoes ” Frank Hillman Jackson, Jr. “Speed” Salisbury, Md. “Social success had not spoilt him, It had made him sweeter.” When there is anything going on Frank is always in it, and when there is nothing going on, Frank starts some¬ thing. Speed is right there in History and English. When we’re all scared because we don’t know our lesson, he pipes up and argues and before we know it the period is ended. Frank is really the leader of the “gang” that is “traveling” down to the University of Georgia next year and we wish the crowd much luck.

H. S. last fall and joined the Senior class. Speaking of basket¬ ball, he sure shines there. He deserves his nickname “The Red Devil,” given him at a game in Seaford one night when he wore that red track suit. His actions in English class cause us to fear his face will become set in a permanent grin. He has proven him¬ self a very efficient Editor-in-Chief of our “Echoes” and we are looking for- ward to the time when Hal will be Editor of some world-famous paper.

Student Representative to Finance Board Basketball Team Assistant Business Manager of Tatter Charles John Jackson “Jack” Salisbury, Md. “The man ivorth while, is the man who can smile.” Charlie came to us from the outskirts of the thriving Metropolis of Salisbury. •A missing ivory from the front of his mouth does not hinder his incessant chatter or his ever-widening grin. “Jack” is endowed with the famous kick which he used to such advantage on the Soccer field that it rivals the kick of the little red car that he shoves to school so patiently.

Nellie always has been a volley ball star, and this year, when a girls’ basketball team was organized, she came in and helped us win the games. Nell is taking a business course at Beacom’s now, but she hasn’t entirely forgotten us for she comes to see us often, to our great delight.

She believes that “children should be seen and not heard” for you never see her giggling and chattering and doing the crazy stunts as so many of us are prone to do. Lola comes to school each day with her work prepared and seldom fails to respond when called upon in class. We envy you Lola, of your ability to apply yourself to the tasks at hand.

She is one of the commercial members, but when Miss Porter starts dictating at 100 words a minute Ruth would very much like to be among the missing. She is a conscientious and willing work¬ er even though she can’t boast of so much speed. Ruth, with her winning ways, is a real heart-breaker. A little birdie tells us that she is planning to be a missionary. We’ll be thinking of you, Ruth, while you’re in the heathen lands. Favorite Expression —Oh, I shan’t do it. Known By —Fluffy hair.

She continually wears a smile that won’t come off. While she has always taken a very prominent part in the Senior class activities, she still allows the Junior class, or at least one member of it, to claim much of her time and attention. If we want to find Bebby we know just where to look—in front of the mir¬ ror. She guards it like a soldier on duty except when Miss Porter speaks, then Bebby’s vanity case shuts like a flash. We know of no one individual to whom we are more indebted for the success of this publication that to our Editor-in-Chief, Bebby. Favorite Expression —“For crying out loud.” Known By —Laugh.

What in the world would we do without him? Ask us an easy one. He plays on practically every athletic team we have, and plays well. And, oh, you should hear him sing! He surely does warble a wicked tenor. Along with all these things he still finds time to devote to his class work. Here as on the athletic field, we find him doing his best at all times. “Em” is a first-class, all-round good student and fellow. Favorite Expression —“Sufferin Cats!” Known By —Curly hair.

Edna is most conscientious about her reference work. And nearly all her vacant periods are spent in diligent research in the library. We often hear her talking about what she did “last night” or what’s she planning for “tonight” so we presume all her spare time isn’t devoted to lib¬ rary assignments. We are sure Edna will be very suc¬ cessful in any pursuit she may decide to follow. Favorite Expression —Where’s Ruth? Known By —Waves in her hair. Hobby —Going with Ruth. English Club Dorothy Catherine: Morris “Dot” Salisbury, Md. “’77.s good in every case you knoiv, To have two strings unto your boiv.” This young lady is apparently very meek and innocent, but sometimes ap¬ pearances are deceiving, especially in this case for Dot is always “chuck full” of fun and keeps us laughing continu¬ ally. She is the type who can say anything and then smooth it over with a witty remark. Dot has many admirers but one who is especially attentive hails from Room 3. He brings her candy and magazines, (but not the flowers). Dot is most considerate of others and for this reason, along with her happy, genial disposition, we see nothing but success in her pathway.

He is planning to go to school and prepare himself for Athletic Coach¬ ing. We are sure he will make a suc¬ cess of this for certainly “his heart will be in his work.” Hugh has passed the 40 word line in typewriting and is striving to hit 50.

A. wave of color is very often seen to rise in Jody’s face when the name of a certain young man is mentioned but we are sure she isn’t aware of this for her modesty wouldn’t allow it.

While she has been as¬ sociated with a bunch of gigglers, she still has perfect control of her tongue and those muscles of her face which register laughter. The opposite sex seems to possess no attraction for her. She fills her timj with more profitable things.

When it comes to teasing the girls, he “stars” again. Luke can always be relied upon to stir up something new and exciting when we are all getting bored with the daily grind of school work. The class would certainly be lost without Luke. Favorite Expression —Hot bozo! Known By —Feather in his hat. Hobby —Shocking people.

Becky always has her lessons prepared, and what is still more remarkable, she never fails to have the supplementary assignments that Mrs. Pope so often gives us. The rest of us usually “shake in our shoes” and fail to respond when called upon to talk, but not so Becky. Although she hasn’t fully decided, Becky will probably attend Normal School after the completion of her work at W. H. S. Favorite Expression —Gee! Known By —Friendly smile.

Then out steps Louise, and after a few words to the driver, reluctantly winds her way in school and up to her home room.

She does such fine sewing that we think she will someday be a popular seamstress as well as the capable school teacher she hopes to be.

If she were the only one there, our teams would get a generous share of applause, for she’s the champion rooter of the class.

English Club James Wilmore Shockley “Wilmore” Pittsville, Md. ©• “The grass so little has to do, I wish I were the hay.” If anyone should ask us what Wil- more’s favorite song is we would at once say “Lazy.” Wilmore does not see any reason for getting excited about anything and rushing madly around. His motto is, “Take it easy” and we’ll all agree that he lives up to it. He thoroughly enjoys teasing people and is so good-natured and humorous that we consider him a valuable ' asset in the make-up of the Class of ’25. Favorite Expression —“Aw, what’s the use?” Known By —Pepless manner. Hobby —Riding in the transit. English Club 62 THE T AT LE R—l 9 25 John Everett Townsend “Raisin” Hebron. Md. “And hark! hoiv clear hold chanticleer Tells all in his lusty crowing.” Here you behold “the best little boy in Hebron”—at least, he seems to think that way. Everett took a prominent part in our History class when we held a mock trial. In fact, he had the honor of be¬ ing the prisoner. Get him to tell you all about it. He gave us a real surprise one day by appearing in very sporty looking knickers. Seriously speaking, Everett is a good student and a loyal classmate. Favorite Expression —Hot Dog! Known By —His drawl. Hobby —Struttin’ around in knickers. English Club Joseph C. Thoma, Jr. “Joe” Salisbury, Md. “All the earth and air. With thy voice is loud.” ’Ray for Joe, the indispensable! Everybody knows him, everybody likes him. What more could we say? Joe is another fine athlete—and we have lots of ’em. Besides this, he is one of the worst teasers and noise- makers we ever saw and when he is around we are not afraid of having a dull time. On stormy days Joe steps out in some of the “wickedest” boots you ever saw which he acquired when he was survey¬ ing down in Texas. You may be sure he has the best wishes of the Senior Class. Favorite Expression —Boy, howdy! Known By —Accompanying noise. Hobby —Raising Cain. Basketball Team, Soccer Team THE T AT LE R—l 9 25 63 Chester Jason Tilghman Club” Salisbury, Md. ‘‘Fare ye well, sweethearts!” Another of those dignified, unassum¬ ing Seniors is “Club.” He is such an important passenger on the school bus that he is assigned a special seat on the spare tire, where he can jump on and off at will. During History Class “Club” is more often absorbed in some of his wild an¬ tics than in the fiery oratory of the pre¬ siding professor. Here’s luck to you “Club,” old boy. Our thoughts are with you in the pu- suit of your higher studies at Lancaster. Favorite Expression —“Quit yer kidding.” Known By —His red neckties. Hobby —Going to 5c matinee. English Club Ruth Ellen Taylor Slim” Clara, Md. “Quiet talk she liketh best. In a bower of gentle looks. Watering flowers, or reading books.” Ruth and Nina were great pals at W. H. S. Ruth is another member of the class who left us at the end of the first semester. Her dreaded subject was Physics, but evidently she came “over the top” O. K. She is a very quiet and studious girl, which fact may be proven by a glance at her record at W. H. S. Oc¬ casionally Ruth would break away fio vi her “quiet self” and become very frivolous. Her great ambition in life is to be a kindergarten teacher. Ruth we wish you luck with the little “tots.” Favorite Expression —Goodness! Known By —Her curls.

Louise just loves to take monthly speed tests and is never satisfied unless she reaches the 60-word mark. Sukey is quite a heart breaker. She has been down the line of Williams un¬ til now its about William III. We’re wondering which one will prove him¬ self to be William the Conqueror. With her cheery words and pleasant smiles she has won a place in the hearts of all her classmates. Best wishes ex¬ press it mildly. Favorite Expression —By gum! Known By —Her giggle. Hobby —Making dates. Order of Artistic Typists Literary Editor of Tatler Order of Gregg Artists English Club Maria Nelson Underhill “Ria Jane” Salisbury, Md. “The pet in a golden clime was born, With golden stars above.” Maria, with her soft Virginia drawl, is well-liked by every one. She is a good student, and the only thing that gives her one bit of trouble is her French pronunciation. Although few of the class know it, Maria can sing very well. We have an idea that she charms a certain young man, whom we know of, with her me¬ lodious voice. Didn’t think we would find you out, did you, Maria? Remem¬ ber, there are few things which escape our vigilant eyes! Whatever Maria may do after she finishes school, we are sure she will find success. Favorite Expression —Well I declah!

Eyiglish Club THE T AT LE R—l 925 65 Lois Celia Van Horn “Dicky” Salisbury, Md. “She never falters, never stops Until she climbs the ladder to the top. Lois can truly becalled “the leader of the class of ’25.” She took the “oath of office,” as president of our class in her FYeshman year and has guided us safely through the four years of our high school career. She is one of the most level headed girls in the class and it was for this, along with many other reasons, that we chose her each year as our president. She is identified with nearly all phases of high school activities and is a faithful and hard-working student. In athletics she can always be depended upon to do her share and more. She is one of the few people who really practice the good principles they preach. Lois, we want to take this opportunity to extend to you our hearty appreciation of all you have done tor the class of ’25 and to offer you our best wishes for your future success.

President Class of 1925 Basketball Team Field Ball Team Hobby —Athletics Athletic Editor of Tatler Volley Ball Team English Club Catherine Hannah Ward “Kitty” Salisbury, Md. “A spirit ever strong like a new bow, And bright and sharp as edges of the scimiter.” Catherine is one of our friends who ,always wears a smiling face, probably as an example to her friends. Quite often you hear Catherine telling Edna and Ruth about “what happened last night.” She is always ready to speak a kind word for Leslie and we all won¬ der how she is getting along since he went to Florida. Catherine is a good student and al¬ ways has time to take part in sports. Favorite Expression —Good night! Known By —Stature. Hobby —Combing her hair. English Club 66 THE T AT LE R—l 925 Beatrice Williams “Bebe” Salisbury, Md. “O maiden, fresher than the first green leaf.” Here is as fine a little classmate and student as you’ll every find. Though not of imposing stature Bebe is ex¬ ceedingly capable, which is proven by the skillful manner in which she can handle a car. You can see her almost any time swinging around a corner. “Bebe” and Maria are great pals, and nearly every noon hour they can be seen strolling along engrossed in some topic of importance (to them). Bebe will, we feel sure, make a host of friends wherever she goes after leav¬ ing W. H. S. Favorite Expression —Oh goodness! Known By —Cheerful disposition. Hobby —Driving a Buick. English Club Howard Alonzo Wilson “Sheik” Royal Oak, Md. “As one lamp lights another, nor grows less, So nobleness enkindles nobleness.” One Monday morning a tall, dignified looking boy entered our 3A Geometry Class. Everyone was at once all agog to learn more about him, for we were certain he was a descendant of Abra¬ ham Lincoln. We soon learned how¬ ever, that he hailed from Royal Oak instead of the frontiers of Indiana. Whether or not he is related to Abe we don’t know, but he exhibits all those magnificent qualities of that famous man to a marked degree. He is good- natured, ambitious, and energetic and always glad to help anyone he can. Favorite Expression —Good gosh! Known By —Sheikish-looking photograph. Hobby —Driving his Ford.

H. S., September, 1922, we were a scared and timid lot of Freshmen. We took our medicine and started in with that re¬ tiring vigor which marks a “Freshie.” We were fresh; no one argues the point. Sometimes we were a little “too fresh,” but that was soon taken out of us by the iron rule of the Senior class at that time. After nine long, tiresome months of submission we saw a gleam of hope ahead. This ended our first, or egg stage. September, 1923, we began to feel a little more at ease. We watched, though on hair trigger, the martyrdom of the in-coming Freshmen. It was during this stage that we laid our plans for our senior year. Some of us became fully acquainted with “Caesar” and were sorry to leave him at the end of the year. (By “him” we mean Miss Lankford). This was our growing stage. We have at last reached that stage that makes one feel proud, (until a Senior appears). We are Juniors. Our president is Wilbur Phillips; vice- president, Milton White; secretary and treasurer, Charles Davis. Miss Killiam is our Class Advisor. That ' s an executive staff to be proud of, so say we all. We are full of fun this year. We have a right to be. Why? We are Juniors. Now we are looking forward to the time when we will burst our cocoons and emerge as full-fledged butterflies—Seniors. To those who have fallen behind we have this advice to give: Keep up the fight and you will surely triumph. Clubs and Organizations In our second semester, (Junior year), there have been organized certain clubs worthy of mention here. The foremost of these are the Eng¬ lish clubs. In behalf of the Junior English students, I wish to extend full appreciation and acknowledgment of the splendid and untiring work of Miss Davis, our 3B English instructor, who has made it possible for these English clubs to exist. The officers of the first period club, (Poe Literary Society), are: Presi¬ dent, Lee Johnson ; Vice-President, Robert Dallas; Secretary and Treasurer, Harlan Messick. The officers of the second period club, (Shakespeare Literary Society), are: President, Herbert Williams; Vice-President, William Waller; Secre¬ tary and Treasurer, Wilson Lowe. The officers of the sixth period club, (Poe Literary Society), are: Pres¬ ident, Milton White; Vice-President, Margaret Hearne; Secretary and Treasurer, Catherine Bennett. All of these societies have their pins. They, also, have programs ar¬ ranged by a program committee, serving for two weeks, given during the regular Home Room hour on Friday. Generally the life of some eminent writer is given. His most important works are discussed and general con¬ clusions are drawn. Talks are given by different pupils on chosen topics. These clubs all provide recreation for the students and aid in estab¬ lishing upon the minds the value of literature.

Marshall waited patiently and then said, “Pass the lasses, Walt.” Parsons replied, “Don’t say ’lasses, John, it’s not correct. You should say molasses.” Marshall returned, “How can I say molasses when I ain’t even had any lasses yet?” There’s a new parody going around: “Fozzer loves Muzzer Muzzer loves bruzzer Bruzzer loves sister And sister loves Mister.” Bob D.: “I know where you can get a chicken dinner for 15c.” Annabell D.: “Where”?

Who can find an efficient stenographer? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her employer doth safely trust in her. For she shall do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She arriveth fifteen minutes ahead of time. And getteth the office ready, and all the work laid out. She looketh well to the ways of the office, And suffereth no one to eat the bread of idleness. She manageth the office boy with tact, and lo! he becometh industrious. Quiet maintaineth she; gossip is there none; For she remembereth that the hours are sacred to business, not to “visiting.” The clock she watcheth not; Cheerfully she worketh overtime. She keepeth tally of the stock, And behold the supplies never run out. Neat and orderly are the shelves, And well labelled. With ease and grace she fileth papers: Accuracy is in her eye, and quickly she bringeth forth hidden treasures. Her mouth she openeth with wisdom, And in her tongue is the law of kindness. Yet glassy is her eye to intruders. And agents flee in terror before her. Sweet is her voice at the ’phone; Her countenance is cheerful to visitors, and her manner cordial. Yet wise as a serpent she is, And right clever must he be who gets past her to the Master of Assemblies. On the typewriter she lays her hands, She stretcheth out her hands to the keys; Yea, she striketh them at 80 words a minute. Her fingers are those of a ready writer; 150 words a minute puzzle her not nor cause her confusion. She tattleth not; private matters are safe in her keeping. When curious ears are thrust forward her silence is like the silence of the Sphinx. To the Master of Assemblies she is eyes, ears, memory, encyclopedia, and information bureau; She keepeth note of his engagements, and telleth him when to go and come, and what to take with him. She remembereth his absent-mindedness and taketh care of him accord¬ ingly. The office force rise up and call her blessed; Her employer also, and he praiseth her. “Many stenographers do well,” says he, “But thou excellest them all.” She receiveth a good salary, And a bonus at Christmas: And her own works praise her. Juki or L 6CAK +W3H- THE T AT LE R—l 925 8A “uA History of The Sophomore Class” How grown-up and mature we felt as we wended our way to W. H. S. on that third day of September in the fall of 1923! But oh! when we reached the school how shy and timid we were! The only alternative was to “follow the crowd.” However, we soon lost the characteristic timidity and backwardness of Freshmen, and began to “hold our own.” It was quite an eventful year for us. We shortly learned the manners and customs exercised at W. H. S. and tolerated the taunts of the dignified Seniors as best we could. The extra half-hour of confinement proved almost unbearable to us, but nevertheless we survived to tell the tale, as may well be perceived. So here goes! On the fifteenth of October “All Aboard” was presented at the Arcade Theatre. This purely school enterprise proved to be an overwhelming suc¬ cess. We dervied at least one consolation from this and that was that the Freshmen were allowed to participate in the presentation of this play and thus to shine a little from the light reflected upon us by those shining stars, the Seniors. A part of the class entered into the not infamous battle which is still raging at its height and in which glorious struggle we hope to master Latin. The other half of the Freshmen Class began to pursue Science, and have this year delved into the depths of history. To these we Latin scholars, as we take pride in terming ourselves, wish good luck and glorious returns from their laborious tasks when reports are due. During our Freshman year we had several Assemblies at the Arcade Theatre, as the High School afforded no assembly room large enough to accommodate the crowd. At the Christmas assembly a play was presented by the Senio rs. Following this, the plays given by the Juniors and Sopho¬ mores, respectively, were thoroughly enjoyed. It is a sad fact that the Freshies did not have the opportunity to present a play, which, no doubt, would have surpassed the other ones. Don’t we hate ourselves! Near the close of school our kind and thoughtful English teacher, Miss Long, took us on a much enjoyed hike. As there were several sections tak¬ ing IB English, all the IB classes did not go as a body but in sections. We roasted doggies and toasted marshmallows, after which we participated in a game of dodge ball. When final reports were due, we felt rather nervous and shaky, but after receiving them the majority became optimists rather than pessimists. At the end of the term, as we looked back and briefly scanned the year as a whole, we felt as if we had passed one of the milestones on the road to success. In the fall we returned to W. H. S., reluctant to leave the multitudin¬ ous pleasures which we had thoroughly enjoyed during the seemingly short vacation. Although we contemplated that our studies would be much more difficult, there was one consolation and that was the reconciling fact that we w ' ere no longer Freshmen. Home-room Organization was one of the first enterprises attempted. It proved a great success. In most cases the officers executed their duties THE TATLER—1925 85 carefully and faithfully. The first half-hour of Friday morning every other week was devoted to the home-room meetings. Interesting and helpful pro¬ grams were invariably presented. In addition to the home-room organization, we are proud to say that the Sophomore class was organized as a unit. At the first Sophomore Class meeting we elected officers. We have had one class meeting since then. At this assembly the program rendered included talent and careful prepa¬ ration. A spirit of fellowship and co-operation has sprung up among the Sophomores, as a result of the organization of the class. Late in October the teachers of the Sophomore Class gave a tea to which the mothers of the pupils were invited. About twenty mothers at¬ tended and were addressed by Miss Morris on the subject of how to get the Sophomore Class together for a party and also regarding some plans for athletic grounds on the west side of the high school building. The plans for the athletic grounds were informally approved by the parents who were present. It was decided to have a committee of three whose duty it would be to make arrangements for a “Get Acquainted” party for the Sophomore Class. Mrs. S. King White was made chairman of this com¬ mittee with power to select the other two members. During the first semester the 2B Latin classes were organized. The meetings were held for an hour, alternate Fridays. The programs ren¬ dered on such occasions were based on subjects calculated to broaden our knowledge of Latin. On one occasion practically all the members of the class participated in an informal discussion on the following subject: “How Did Caesar Excel—As a General, as a Statesman, as an Orator or as a His¬ torian ?” This discussion was interesting and beneficial to all. It was on this occasion that William Smith, looking at his watch, remarked, “Miss Fisher, she gave a three minute talk lacking five minutes.” A Latin play presented by four of the members of the classe proved successful and was given before the Parent-Teacher Association at their March meeting. The dramatic fervor of Kathryn Harris, a Roman mother, was not excelled even by the grace with which her son, William Smith, fell back in death. The fluency with which the other two members of the cast delivered their Latin lines surely entitled them to a Latin chair in some great university. Since the Tatler would not be complete without a picture of the Sopho¬ more Class, it was decided, in the early spring, to risk breaking the photo¬ grapher’s camera. On finding a photographer willing to assume the risk the deed was done. As no bill of damages has as yet been presented, we are left to the conclusion that the camera survived. In athletics Hilda Heath, Gladys Van Horn, Edgar Broughton, Carroll Long and others have striven nobly to make a name for the Sophomore Class. May their efforts be rewarded with medals, cups and press notices to their heart’s content. The Sophomore Class party, that supposed myth, at first scheduled for April the tenth, at last materialized and was held on April 24. We feel that we have at least seen all the members of the class and have enjoyed one evening of pleasure together. And now the year has drawn to its close. We are no longer Sopho¬ mores, but we are still a united class, going on to greater achievements and to greater victories. 86 THE TATLER—1925 Sophomore Class Maria Thoroughgood, President Ethel Loomis, Vice President Glenn Jackson, Secretary Miss Louise B.

A President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer of the respec¬ tive societies were elected. The President named committees to have an oral program weekly and to select pins for the different clubs. During one quarter the programs consisted of oral book reports and in the next term original programs were given, perhaps celebrating some prominent man whose birthday had occurred. We enjoyed the work on the book reports and oral programs but our hard work came when every Senior contested through essays for the “Old Home Prize”. These essays concerned some interesting subject of the Delmarvia Peninsula. The programs for the club meetings were so arranged that each stu¬ dent could take part, thus helping them to speak before an audience with comparative ease, and in the meantime to improve their vocabulary. We feel safe in saying that the English Clubs are a great benefit in the Eng¬ lish course and are sure they have been a success this year. Besides the intellectual, which was the primary purpose, our Clubs had a social purpose. On Friday evening, March 13, we gave a St. Patrick’s Day party at which we became better acquainted, for reciting in separate sections in classes gives little opportunity for social development. Taken as a whole the work of the English Clubs has been profitable in giving concrete lessons in self-government and furnishing a chance for acquaintance. RUTH W. PRITCHETT ’25. HOME-ROOM ORGANIZATION Perhaps the most constructive feature of the entire school year was the proper organization of the groups known as “Home Rooms.” Realiz¬ ing the need for a smooth working system to handle matters concerning the welfare of each group, and to arrange for the necessary entertain¬ ments, the various groups held elections early in the year. Presidents, vice-presidents and secretary-treasurers were put into office. Since the first election the work of the home rooms will speak for itself, and this is without attempting to estimate the value each student group has derived from the systems. A work has been started this year which, if carried on in years to come, will make the Wicomico High School one of the best supervised student bodies in the State. May the work that has started this year allow the coming under-classmen to reap the benefit THE T AT LE R—l 925 89 that is intended for them. The struggle to keep going when so many obstacles presented themselves was a hard one, but if our purpose is served our efforts have been well spent. Unusually fine work has been done this year in the way of home room entertainments. Every other Friday groups of some forty students were treated to fine student programs, the result of work by the capable com¬ mittees. This, more than any other one thing, has uncovered some of the fine talent that is now known to exist within our ranks. THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The fifth Annual Reunion of the Wicomico High School Alumni Association was held on Friday evening, December 26 in the ball room of the Wicomico Hotel. The meeting was called to order at eight o’clock by the President, Mr. W. S. Sheppard. Minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved and followed by the roll call of the classes dating from 1876 to the class of 1925, in¬ clusive. Mr. Ralph 0. Dulany, Chairman of the Nominating Committee read the following nominations: President, E. Sheldon Jones T4; Vice-President, Mrs. Wm. T. Banks ’91; Secretary, Fulton Fields ’24; Assistant Secretary, Miss Mildred Ward ’20; Assistant Secretary, Tracy Holland ’23; Treasurer, Asbury Holloway T4; Executive Committee, Miss Virginia Chatham ’20; Walter S. Sheppard ’97; John G. Howie ’19; Member Student Aid Committee, Mrs. F. P. Adkins ’94. The nominations were accepted and officers declared elected after which Mr. Jones expressed to the meeting his willingness to continue the Alumni work. The program committee rendered a very enjoyable program which consisted of music by the orchestra under the leadership of Professor J. T. Hopkins, several solos, a reading and a selection by the male quartette. Following the entertainment delicious refreshments were served, and the evening was concluded by an informal dance in which all were cordially invited to participate. THE ECHOES OF W. H. S. Wicomico High has this year achieved splendid results with its student publication, “The Wicomico Echo”. That every cloud has a silver lining was clearly demonstrated last Fall in the case of our high school paper. Just when it appeared that our student publication was doomed because of lack of finance, the News Publishing Company came to our rescue with the proposal that we use a page of the “Evening Times” once every week in which would be mirrored the various activities on the “Hill-top”. The offer of Salisbury’s daily newspaper was accepted and the plan 90 THE T AT LE R—l 925 proved a distinct success. We were the first High School in Maryland to inaugurate the printing of our student publication in the “home town” paper. We were l eaders in a movement which has found an enthusiastic response the country over. Accordingly, since last October there has ap¬ peared in every Friday’s issue of the “Evening Times” a page exclusively devoted to Wicomico High School and called “The Wicomico Echo”. Edited by our own editorial staff, this paper has been very popular. It has reported in up-to-the-minute style all the student activities and has af¬ forded those with literary ability an excellent outlet for their writings. Its editorial policy has been very strong and every department has co¬ operated in making the paper highly interesting to read. No one can deny that this year “The Wicomico Echo” has served more than ever before the many interests of W. H. S. and has promoted a closer contact between parents and students. And a better school spirit has been developed. Mrs. Pope, the English instructor, has worked diligently this year to make the school paper a success and the Commercial Department has as¬ sisted materially in the preparation of the coyp. The students, though slow at first in lending their support, have lately made mwany valuable con¬ tributions along journalistic and literary lines. We sincerely hope that The Wicomico Echo” will continue next year and we deeply thank the management of the “Evening Times” for assistance rendered in making the paper a success this year.

High School had been our goal since we had begun our A B C’s and at last we were here. Strange faces and in a strange place, but we were bound by the common tie of being “Green Freshmen” among many intellectual beings. Many of us had come from Grammar School, but there were with us those from private schools, from East Salisbury, from Allen, Quantico, and Fruitland and from one-room schools. The first few days were spent in adjusting ourselves and in being hazed. Imagine the feeling of those of us who had come from a one-room school and had assisted the teacher for a year, being thrown in the crowd and sent from one room to another. New York with all its subways will never be as complex to us as were those portables and that big building. Now that we are acquainted with ourselves and with each other, Mr. Cordrey’s office means a definite place to go, even though we re¬ member the time we spent in looking for it to have our schedule arranged and then afraid to speak lest we appear dumb. All the mysteries of Latin, Science, Algebra, and Ancient History are ours, so we think, and as we look at the Seniors we do not wonder that they are conceited. If we learn as much in other years as we have so far, then, we too, shall have the perfect right of feeling “dignified.” Early in the year we elected Joseph Graham as our President; Betty Dallas, Vice-Presidept; Herbert Hardesty, Secretary and Treasurer; and Miss Amy Bennett our Class Advisor; with Miss Davis, Miss Long, Miss Gordy, Miss Holliday, Miss Nock and Mr. Duffy as assistants. With the largest Freshman Class that ever came to High School, we are now looking forward to the time when we shall graduate the largest Senior Class. “The Aged Freshie I am sore and depressed, And the reason will be told; The cause of my depression is, I am growing old. My hair’s not gray, my teeth are firm, I walk not with a cane; But I have tasted all life’s joys, And all life’s earthly pain. Some might think, in reading this, The writer is a fool; But, kind friends, the truth is this, I’m a Freshman in High School.

Old King Basketball reigned supreme at Wicomico High this year and without a doubt the 1925 season was the most successful campaign ever enjoyed by an athletic team in Salisbury. For two successive years the Warrior Pentagon captured the coveted Eastern Shore Championship and went even a step higher by entering the state lists. The year was even more a success when it is considered just what the local mentors were forced to contend with in the way of material. Starting the campaign with but two veterans, Coaches William and Edward Duffy were confronted with a staggering task in moulding out a winning combination. These two wizards proved equal to the task, how¬ ever, and a glance of the record of the “Indian” aggregation will sub¬ stantiate this fact. Throughout the year the local quint flashed a well coached club and handily disposed of one of the hardest schedules ever arranged for a local representative with but one loss to a Shore five. This single loss fades THE T AT LE R—l 9 25 101 into oblivion, however, when the records reveal such a lengthy chain of impressive victories. This club was later defeated by the “Indians” and on a foreign court. After mowing down all of the opposition on the Shore, the “Indians” were invited to enter the big tournament held in Chestertown, Md. and sponsored by the Athletic Association of Washington College. Any dis¬ pute as to the supremacy of the entire Eastern Shore was quieted there, when the Duffyites waded through the elimination rounds and then de¬ feated the great Chestertown High club for the trophy. Following this victory the local authorities received official recognition as Shore Cham¬ pions from the Public Athletic League, and then made their bid for State supremacy. The city of Salisbury proved throughout the year that it is becom¬ ing gradually educated to the indoor pastime and supported the club better as the season progressed. School spirit was fine and had a great deal to do with the quintets great year. Their work was especially noticeable in the last games of the season. Joe Thoma, the only veteran of the 1924 season, captained the “Indian” quintet throughout the greater part of the year. He proved to be a good leader, but late in the year was compelled to leave the fold be¬ cause of sickness. Lee Benson then captained the Warriors and served well in that capacity. Hal Jackson, a new comer to local basketball, held down one of the forward berths throughout the year and led his mates in scoring. The other forward position saw several changes. Thoma, Disharoon and Waller all saw action at different times of the year as regulars. This crew of point getters all performed nobly as a glance at the high scores of the year will reveal. Morris and Brewington were the centers which Coach Duffy used this year. Morris held the edge during the playing season but gave way to lanky Brewington, who finished the year as regular pivot man. Moore and Booth carried the burden of the defensive work through¬ out the playing season and performed nobly. They both proved to be real scrappers and also worked into the offensive in fine style. Booth gave way to Benson, a veteran of two years before the tournament. This lad was barred from scholastic competition because of deficiencies in studies, but joined the squad, fought his way to a berth and then performed in great style. 102 THE TATLER—19 25 SOCCER TEAM After a few weeks of school Mr. Gardner, our new coach, who suc¬ ceeded Mr. Unger in coaching Soccer, called for a meeting of all boys interested in gaining positions on this year’s team. At this meeting he outlined to us his plan for the coming campaign. The weather being ideal we held practice every day under the watch¬ ful supervision of Coach Gardner. Although greatly handicapped by the loss of the greater number of last year’s squad, we cooperated with our leader to place on the field a team that would do justice to old W. H. S. After a good deal of intensive practice it became evident that our chances for a winning team were exceptionally promising. We received our County schedule from the School Board which called for the first game of the season at Pittsville on October 3. On that date we inaugurated the season by easily defeating Pittsville by the score of 2-0 which would have been greater had not the rough turf interfered with our short passing and dribbling game that so characterized our attack. We next played Delmar, a dangerous team at all times, at Gordy’s Park on October 10. Delmar and Salisbury have always been great rivals and so on that date a great crowd was in attendance. We de¬ feated Delmar after a stubborn resistance by staging one of the most spectacular comebacks in the final minutes of play—resulting in the score of 4-2 in our favor. Next on our schedule was a practice game with Snow Hill High. Those who were fortunate enough to see this game were treated with a wonderful exhibition of the old English sport. Both teams were evenly THE T AT LE R—l 9 25 103 matched and the outcome was not determined until the final whistle, the score resulting in a tie 2-2. On October 17 we journeyed to Delmar for the return game of the series. It was quite evident that our team was off form but after a hotly contested game we won by the close score of 1-0. Only one more contest remained to be staged for the sectional championship of the Southern half of the County. We easily defeated Pittsville in an uninteresting game at Gordys Park on October 21, the score being 4-0. We now played a series of games with Sharptown for the County honors, and won by the scores of 2-0 and 4-0 respectively, thus gaining the right to participate in Inter-County competition for the Eastern Shore honors. The Public Athletic League gave us for our first Inter-County game Hurlock High, the winners of the Dorchester County loon. Sharptown was chosen as the battle ground for this contest. The lads from Wicom¬ ico High, with a loyal band of rooters, journeyed there to meet the foe. At 3:30 sharp, Referee Fitzberger called both teams on the field and ex¬ plained the various rules. After the toss-im for goals, the whistle blew and the game was in full swing. From the start it was evident that the W. H. S. hooters were superior to the Hurlock aggregation and the out¬ come was not uncertain. The final score was 2-1 with Wicomico High on the long end. But this victory was short-lived for on the following week we received a letter from the Public Athletic League stating that our team had been officially disqualified from Inter-County competition for the playing of Thoma, an ineligible man, in our line-up. Thoma’s in¬ eligibility was due to the fact that his name was omitted from the original list of players whose names were submitted to the Public Athletic League early in the season. This was a most unexpected blow not only for the team but for the school. Therefore, our Soccer team disbanded for the rest of the season. Regardless of this misfortune we may feel proud in saying that the Wicomico High School squad went through the season undefeated which in our estimation is a record.

This year we have had the good fortune of securing Rev. H. W. Curry, of Allen, formerly of the University of Richmond, to coach us in baseball. As soon as the weather permitted, practice was announced. Previous to the general call, the battery candidates were rounded into shape through indoor practice. Thus from the first our mound artists have been kept in first class shape. We received word from Berlin that they had two dates open on their schedule so on April 8, after three weeks spent in training, we played Berlin High on Berlin grounds. In the first few innings we gathered enough runs to win, which we did by the tune of 14-6. The batting strength which has been lacking with former teams was not evident with us for our offensive was strong compared to the other team’s. Booth, Jackson and Hurley composed the battery. On April 14 Berlin came here for the return game. In all respects this game was played well in all departments. Both sides were evenly matched, and it took twelve hard innings to defeat Berlin by the score of 5-4. Waller was the outstanding hero of this game by stealing home in the twelfth inning with two outs marked against us. Next we journeyed to the city of Cambridge on the Choptank River and played a tie game, eleven runs all. Heavy hitting by both teams marked this affair. Booth, Jackson, Ryall and Hurley saw action aplenty. On Saturday, April 18, we played, for the first time in several years, Wesley Collegiate Institute, Dover, Delaware. It was a game well worth seeing, for both sides were evenly matched. Booth pitched airtight ball for nine innings, but two singles mKS II. caused his downfall and Wesley tied the score 3 all. Jackson took up the pitching burden and THE T AT LE R—l 9 25 105 relieved further scoring. We won out in the tenth by two hits and a sacrifice and one run denting the rubber, bringing victory. Much credit may be placed to Booth for this victory for he completely baffled the oppos¬ ing batters for nine innings, striking out twelve and walking only one man. Next on our schedule was Crisfield at Crisfield on April 21. We beat Crisfield by the score of 6-4 in twelve innings. Again our offensive strength was our main factor in gaining the decision. April 24 we had for opponents Centreville High of Queen Anne ' s Co. This team has always put up a fast brand of the National Pastime on all occasions. We defeated them 8-5 in nine innings. Thus far we have moved aside all opposition, and although we have not completed our season, we have high hopes of being the first team that has represented this High School to go undefeated through a season. Of course this remains to be seen. Those who have followed the team will note that the team has a great offense and defense, and I claim that we have the fastest infield in scholastic ranks of any high school team on the Eastern Shore.

A. L. Coach marching around W. H. S., and so we knew something was up. That afternoon Miss Long served a notice on us that we were to meet out at Gordy’s Park. The P. A. L. Coach introduced to us a new game, “Field Ball”. All the girls liked the game and there was every evidence of our having a winning team. Our first game was a practice game with Snow Hill, in which we were defeated. We then entered a series of County Championship games. The first game was played with Pittsville. When our opponents left the field, it was with utter defeat. The next game, which was the final champion¬ ship game, was with Delmar. The W. H. S. Girls won by a large score. The following girls received championship medals: Lois Van Horn Ruth Loomis, (Capt.) Dolly White Lillian Parker Nellie Krause Louise Taylor Dorothy Fields Esther Smith Glenna Hearne Thelma Oswalt Pearl Williams Hazel Heath THE TATLER—1 9 25 107 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM Immediately after the Christmas holidays Miss Straughn, our coach, called for a meeting of all girls who were interested in basketball. After a very enthusiastic meeting we felt confident that with Miss Straughn as our coach, we were bound to have a winning team this year. On January 3, our team, “The Snappy Six” had a practice game with the “Y” girls and defeated them 40-0. At the end of the first semester, January 31, the team was severely handicapped by the loss of several players. This was due to the fact that seniors who had completed their work at the end of the first semester were not eligible players and also those members of the team who were not making passing grades at this time were eliminated from the list. Our next game was staged at the Armory, February 10, with Sea- ford. This proved a very exciting game and both teams demonstrated some excellent pass work. The Snappy Six was finally defeated by the score 29-24. On March 3 our team journeyed to Seaford with a grim determina¬ tion to come out of the game on the big end of the score but our hopes were soon blighted when we found that we were to play on a floor that had been waxed for a dance. During the first half our team did little ex¬ cept slide around and pick one another up, but during the second half we became more accustomed to the slippery court and put up a hard fight to claim the victory but all too late for Seaford was victorious by a score of 34-16.

For the last four years the W. H. S. girls have stood behind Volley Ball and walked off with the County Championship. Volley Ball is the only game for girls that gives them the honor, if they win the county championship, of competing in the state meet at Baltimore and for the last four years the W. H. S. Girls have won the trip to Baltimore. Miss Long has been our coach and to her we owe a great deal of the honor of winning, for she is always ready with, “Girls you can win, go to it”. We are out to win again this year and you can bet on us, that we will play a straight forward game and come out on the top. Line-Up: Lois Van Horn, (Capt.)

Milk, Eggs, Butter, Meat, Vegetables and Fruit soon lose their savoriness and spoil unless they are kept fresh and cool; and the best and easiest way to keep them cool is in a good Refrigerator, properly constructed. WE HAVE IT Keep your kitchen cool, clean and comfortable Why should you work in a kitchen that is uncomfort¬ ably hot, as soon as the weather begins to warm up every spring? Why carry fuel into your house and then out again, in the form of dus¬ ty ashes that spread over everything at the slightest breath of air? How much better it is to cook in cool comfort, in a clean, bright kitch¬ en, all the year round! You can do it easi¬ ly and economically with a KEROGAS OIL ( OOK STOVE. L. W.

THE T AT LE R—1 9 2 5 PA CHANGES HIS POINT OF VIEW A young man attending college became infatuated with a young lady but before proposing to her wrote his father for parental advice. Follow¬ ing is the answer he received in the due course of time: Dear Son Charles: Marriage is a wonderful institution if you find the right mate. The best advice I can give you is to compare your girl to your mother, with whom I have been so ideally happy for the past thirty years. If she can even approximate your dear mother’s homemaking, housekeeping and always even temper, you are a lucky young man, and I give you my bless¬ ing and advise you to grab her at once. £r Your loving, FATHER. Ps -— Your mother has just left the room. Don’t be a darn fool. Stay single. THE T AT LE R—l 9 25 U9 Everything Musical i’ulislntnj iluair WILLIAM KOCH, Proprietor 121 Dock St. SALISBURY, MD. Tel.
