Thus this little book, for all its faults, is merely a record of our struggle to gain wisdom. If we have served, in any small measure, to show our readers how we have set about to gain this knowledge, we will feel that our efforts to publish this little volume have not been in vain. 8 THE T A T L E R—1 928 £A£££ R S£A£F Editor-in-Chief ALICE MELLOTT Associate Editor ANNE JOHNSON Advertising Managers Business Managers WILLIAM BAKER HAMPTON BRITTINGHAM RONALD SMITH SARAH STEWART MARIE BEARD Literary Editors IRMA MALONE MARGARET BROWN MARY LOUISE TAYLOR CONSTANCE CLARKE MARY TESTA Art Editors Humorous Editors Alumni Editors DORIS COOPER BETTIE DALLAS GRACE LEONARD JAMES TRUITT DOROTHY DERBY ALINE WILKINS LOUISE BOUNDS Typists WILLIAM CULVER IVA CALLOWAY JOHN TESTA Boy’s Athletic Editor Girl’s Athletic Editor DEAN GUNBY ALVERTA LIVINGSTON Junior Class Editor A.

THELMA CARMAN PHIPPS A Classmate whose irreproachable character, gentle disposition, and strong per¬ sonality made her beloved by all her classmates. A Friend, staunch and loyal, whose life will be an everlasting influence for good among those who knew her. A Christian, who endeavored to put into practice her religion with the single pur¬ pose of making her life count for Christ. BORN 1908 DIED 1928 18 THE TATLE R—1 9 2 8 Senior Class ‘JHistorij The smoke curled up lazily from the pipe and circled slowly about the head of the man who smoked it. This man was bent over a desk. There were sharpened pencils lying by his hand and blank sheets of paper before him. The appearance of the desk and the room in which it was located proclaimed the place to be the office of a newspaper man—the editor. As one looks he sighs, lays down a pencil that had hovered over the as yet blank paper, and settles back in the swivel chair with a perplexed frown on his face. Then, picking up a letter from his desk he reads it. It is a letter from the “Tatler” staff of the class 1941 requesting that he write an editorial urging the people to buy “Tatlers” to see just what possibilities are foremost in their children, the future citizens of the town. Opening a drawer in his desk the man took from it a rough draft of the designated ‘ Tatler” composed of typewritten copies of pages neatly arranged, ready for the printing. Turning the pages he read some of the articles, looked at the pictures of the graduating class and then read the “History” of that class. When he had finished that he leaned back in his chair, smoked his pipe and stared mechanically at the ceiling. But he did not see the ceiling or the four walls surrounding him. Rather he yas lost in reminis¬ cences. You can guess, in all probability, of what he was thinking and so can I. Do you not think that in his mind was a picture of the old High School where he entered as a timid freshman in 1924, frightened yet daring, scared yet proud of the fact that he was now in High School. You and I can see him now, wandering through the halls; lost perhaps, searching for a teacher and classroom. Yet he with the host of boys and girls with him makes a large body, affording the rest of the school amusement, laughter and jokes. Then, too, some day they would be graduating—so what then. Then, as a sophomore the picture changes. He is still rather shy and retiring but full of fun nevertheless. His lessons perhaps are harder and study is longer but, he is a sophomore; he expected such work for a full-fledged second year man. The girls are making their first self-made dresses perhaps, while the boys are working on their Manual Training. The class officers are elected and then the routine of the school year is again well balanced and studies are well under way. Athletics too are going very good. Then, the scene changes once more. It is now the Junior year. Everyone is excited with the knowledge that it is their next to last year. The school play “Bimbo” is got¬ ten up, given, and the old familiar grind of lessons taken up again. The next exciting event perhaps is the arrival of the Senior Class rings. Crowds of Juniors are standing together, enviously watching, wishing it might be they that were having this stroke of wonderfully good fortune. After the time has come when a class is not interrupted 19 THE TATLE R—1 9 2 8 by the sight of a Senior class ring, come the holidays. Then after a few days fun the mid-year examinations or tests bring fear and trembling to the hearts of all. Soon after the beginning of the second semester plans are gotten up for the Junior- Senior Banquet. No sooner are plans made, it seams, than the time for the Banquet is here and after a night of brotherly feeling, studies are again resumed. Graduation time draws near, “Tatlers” are bought, and excitement rules. Commencement night comes and the Juniors see the Seniors receive the parchment that sends them out into the world or the schools of higher education, and are rendered speechless by the thought that the following year they will be in their places. Vacation comes and goes. In the fall school opans again and a new class of Seniors enters and settles itself ready to give directions as to how the school should be run. Soon, however, lessons are taken up in earnest, the routine of study being broken by the arrival of the class rings shortly after the holidays. Senior dresses are started and the first Girls’ Manual Training Class begins its work, composed of Seniors alone. Then the Junior-Senior Banquet is given and a good time is had by all. Finally, the crowning event! Graduation! Diplomas are received, good-byes are said and pouf! scattered to the winds! meeting again we know not where. The editor’s pipe had gotten cold, the typewritten manuscript had fallen unnoticed from his hands. As one looked, he smiled. “Those were the days,” he thought. What was that little verse they had known their last year? It was something like-oh yes: “Thus with our song of rejoicing Our way to the goal we make, Ever with eyes up ' .ifted To the ideals of “twenty-eight.” Suddenly he brought his feet to the floor with a bang, picked up a pencil and drew the paper to him. Hurriedly he began to write. “Have any of you ever thought back to your high school days? You have, I know. Have you ever thought what a pleasure it would be to see the hands of old classmates outstretched in hearty greeting? Have you forgotten the life you used to live, the life of fun, when you went to high school in the twenties, ’28 or ’29? Can you not picture the old high school sitting majestically on the hill, with its old classrooms, its funny characteristics? Old? Yes, but dear to the hearts of its students. Perhaps some of you have never forgotten those days; the basketball games, baseball, volley-ball and such. Do you remember too how proud you were of Mr. and Miss Self? Now turn your mind to the present day classes. See the well-equipped high school you have built for your children. See the airy classrooms, the gymnasium, the pool, athletic field, campus, and various other characteristics familiar to the pupils now. 20 THE TA T L E R—1 9 2 8 Would we not have envied them these things? But despite our lack of them we had as good a time. Besides our children must have the best opportunities possible for our country needs men and women who are of that stern stuff which bids them die for it at need and a country is never worth dying or living for unless it has been built up in morality, prosperity, and knowledge by the boys and girls of other times, our ancestors, our par- exits, and now you and me. Therefore, let us the people of today do our best to train and equip the present generation of boys and girls to be the statesmen of tomorrow. How can we do it? By giving them encouragement, showing interest in their scholastic activities, aiding them by our patronage of plays and entertainments, buying their paper, their “Tatlers”. Perhaps we will learn something ourselves from their fresh ideas of life and living. And let me say to the students themselves, quoting the words of a great man, a beloved man—Theodore Roosevelt. “With all my heart I believe in the joy of living; but those who achieve it do not seek it as an end in itself, but as a seized and prized incident of hard work well done and of risk and danger never wantonly courted, but never shirked when duty commands that they be faced. And those who have earned joy, but are rewarded only with sorrow, must learn the stern comfort to great souls—the comfort that springs from the knowl¬ edge taught in times of iron, that the law of worthy living is not fulfilled by pleasure, but by service, and by sacrifice, when only thereby can service be rendered. “No nation can be great unless its sons and daughters have in them the quality to rise level to the needs of heroic days. Yet this heroic quality is but the apex of a pyra¬ mid of which the broad foundations must solidly rest on the performance of duties so ordinary that to impatient minds they seem commonplace.” “Remember too that alone of human beings the good and wise mother stands on a plane of equal honor with the bravest soldier; for she has gladly gone down to the brink of the chasm of darkness to bring back you, the children, in whose hands rests the fu- ture of the years.” 21 THE T A T L E R—1 9 2 8 Senior Class CLASS OFFICERS HOMER WHITE, President EDWARD WARD, Vice President MARY TESTA, Secretary ANNE JOHNSON, Treasurer ACADEMIC AND GENERAL Adkins, Aline Baker, William Beard, Marie Brewington, Bessie Brewington, Carroll Brown, Helen Brittingham, Anne Brown, Margaret Clark, Constance Clarke, Ernest Cooper, Doris Covington, Nancy Dallas, Betty Davis, Irma Derby, Dorothy Farlow, Mildred Fields, Dorothy Mae Freeny, Howard Grier, Mamie Gunby, Dean Harris, James Harris, Katherine Hearn, Gladys Holloway, Betty Holloway, Florence Holloway, Marie Hopkins, Henrietta Hopkins, Hilda Huffington, Sara Humphreys, Margaret Johnson, Anne Krause, Albert Livingston, Alverta Malone, Irma Malone, Virginia Mellott, Alcie Morris, Mildred Parker, Thomas Perdue, Leila Powell, Maurice Robertson, Pauline Rounds, Gertrude Shockley, Edna M.

She is not always quiet, but more so than the rest of us. Someone is always say¬ ing , “Hurry up Adkins,” for Aline never seems to be in a hurry, but she gets there just the same. “Adkins” makes friends wherever she goes, and we are sure she will be a success in what¬ ever she chooses to undertake. English Club Social Civics Club MILDRED VIRGINIA BAKER “ Milly ” Salisbury, Maryland Milly is another of our quiet industrious commercials. She has proved an asset to our class—-we need quiet ones to set the examples for the noisy ones. From reports this young lady is some typist, and we hope she will be successful in whatever career she undertakes. English Club q a. O. (7. A. WILLIAM THORPE BAKER “Bill” Salisbury, Maryland Every class has its ladies’ man and here’s ours!

She is the jolliest person in the ’28 class. If you do not know her, you have missed a great pleas¬ ure. Louise is also a good typist. She was de¬ pended upon to do much typing for the Tatler. She will make a very good typist for some Louise deserves much credit for getting the advertisements for this Tatler. We certainly do appreciate her help. Commercial Club O. G. A. Tatler Staff 9 A, , English Club Civics Club FLORENCE ADELINE BOZMAN “Florry” Salisbury, Maryland Here is our best commercial student.

We are sur3 that she has a very good chance for r.dvance- ment. , B-sides being a good student Florence .s one of the happiest girls in our class. We have m ' ssed her greatly since February. English Club O. G. A. Vice President of Home Room O.A.T. BESSIE VIRGINIA BREW ' INGTON “Sis” Salisbury, Maryland Sis, contrary to her quiet nickname, is the fun of a classroom and was sorely missed when she left in February, but we do nave the c in¬ solation of having her appar at noon w.th her inseparable pal, “Issy!” “Sis,” basketball fan that she is, has missed few games, ’course now she should root for “Punk” and CARROLL LEE BREWINGTON “Punk” Salisbury, Maryland “Punk” is one of our star athletes as you perhaps all know. He has led our basketball team to victory many times during the four years he has been playing. “Funk” has been as popular among his classmates as among his teammates due to his jovial disposition and pleasing personality. The class of ’28 wishes you success, “Punk in whatever you undertake. Social Civics Club Athletics English Club 24 THE T A T L E R—1 928 ANNE BRITTINGHAM “Annie B Parsonsburg, Maryland Just look at our Anne and you won ' t slam Parsonsburg any more. Everywhere Anne goes someone is complimenting her. No won¬ der she has so many admirers. Who could help but admire her, we would like to know. Anne is a very bright student and gets along well with the teacher. She finished school in Feb¬ ruary, but we were sorry to lose her. We don’t know what she is going to do, but we know she will meet with success. English Club HAMPTON BRITTINGHAM “ Hamp ” Salisbury, Maryland Hamp joined us these last three years and he has done a lot to help while away some hours of hard study with his fun. He is very good natured as many of us have found out and is always ready to lend a helping hand. He’s al¬ ways smiling and cheerful. A smile is a great help m life, Hamp, and we hope you’ll never lose it. English Club OAT HELEN MILLER BROWN “Helen Salisbury, Maryland Helen left us in February and we were all sorry to see her go.

CONSTANCE CLARK “ Connie ” Salisbury, Maryland Although “Connie” is the youngest of out¬ class, she is an “A” student. She is always ready and willing to lend a helping hand to her classmates “Connie” is very popular for she is a regu- lar sunbeam, always making people around her happy and contented. . More could be said, but then we might give Connie’s great secret (?) away. Anyway, here is wishing the best success for you “Connie. Literary Editor Tatler Glee Club English Club Social Civics Club ERNEST COLLINS CLARK “Ernie” Salisbury, Maryland Ernest is not known to all of you perhaps but he should be. He seems to have a knack of getting in with everybody. Through sun, rain, or shadow he seems to come out smiling. He is the type that makes a successful business man and we prophesy a brilliant future for him. English Club 26 THE TATLE R—1 9 2 8 DORIS RAYNE COOPER “Coop” Parsonsburg, Maryland . You all know “Coop”. If you don ' t know her then you probably have seen some of her work. Her aim is to make a profession of art and we know she will succeed not only because she has talent but because she is so aimable and good natured. “Good luck”, Doris. Art Editor English Club NANCY W. COVINGTON “Nance” Salisbury, Maryland In Nancy you see one of many of our good- natured class (?) Always Nancy seems to be in a good humor. It is said that a pleasing per¬ sonality is a good equipment for life and we do not hesitate to say that we believe “Nance” to be well equipped. English Club WILLIAM CULVER “Bill” Salisbury, Maryland Bill is a good-natured, obliging member of our class. We wonder if he enjoyed those lit¬ tle “catnaps” he used to take in first period English Class as much as we appreciated his helping us. Must have worked (?) late last nite, Bill! Anyway this doesn’t keep him from being a conscientious student. Good luck from ' 28, Bill. ELIZABETH DALLAS “Betty” Salisbury, Maryland Have you ever been in any of Betty ' s class¬ es ? If you haven ' t you don ' t know what you’ve missed. It seems that Betty has a kind of hu¬ mor we all admire. Betty knows just when she is supposed to laugh and when not to. If you ' ve got the “blues” go to Betty; she is a sure cure. Wherever you go and whatever you do we wish you success. Glee Club English Club Social Civics Club Tatler Staff THE TATLE R —1 9 2 8 IRMA HESTER DAVIS “Nader” Salisbury, Maryland. Look upon the countenance of this demure, netite little maiden and you will see one of that small class of people who are never seen in a bad humor. Irma will lend you anything -if she has it. Add generosity plus a sense of humor plus good-naturedness and you have Irma. English Club DOROTHY IRENE DERBY “Dot” Salisbury, Maryland. Dot is one of the jolliest members of our class. Is there any reason why she wouldn t make a good joke editor for our Tatler . W e thought she would. “Dot” is a friend to every one and you very seldom see her without a smile on her face “Dot,” may you always brighten the lives of others as you have brightened ours. English Club Social Civics Club Glee Club Tat ' er Sta MILDRED TABITHA FARLOWE “Mill” Parsonsburg, Maryland. “Miir hails from Parsonsburg, and well may that town be proud to claim her, since s such a good student and loyal classmate, one never fails to have her lessons prepared. Mildred intends to be a nurse. We all know that she will be successful in this career and we wish her the best of luck. English Chib DOROTHY MAE FIELDS “Dot” Salisbury, Maryland. If you want to know someone full of P P and fun then get acquainted with “Dot . bhe seems to be happy all the time. Yet s 12 al¬ ways does what work she has to do well. We feel sure that we’ll hear much of her in the near future. English Club 28 THETATLE R—1 9 2 8 WILLIAM HOWARD FREENY “Freeny” Quantico, Maryland Howard says “Yes, I come from Quantico, what of it?” That’s it, Howard, stick up for your town. They are just jealous because they don’t live there. Howard is a quiet type and very seldom gets in wrong. That shows that the tongue is to blame. Howard left us in February and we certainly missed him. He used to be a traffic “cop” over here and we think he would make a good road “cop.” He would certainly make the people do right. Social Civics Club English Club MAMIE GILLIS GRIER “Mamie” Salisbury, Maryland. What would we ever have done without Ma¬ mie? She is so sweet and quiet that everyone just naturally falls in love with her. For some reason or other Mamie has a pas¬ sion for red! Of course, we can guess why, but we really wouldn’t dare to tell. Mamie’s neat little stitches in her gradua¬ tion dress have made every Senior girl envy her. Best of luck to you, Mamie. English Club DEAN PERDUE GUNBY “ Divine ” Salisbury, Maryland. Maybe you’ve noticed the basketball notices so neatly printed on our blackboards. That is just one of the things the class of ’28 owes to Dean. Dean likes athletics too and is one of our basketball stars. If you’ve never seen him play you’ve missed half of the fun of your high school life. Dean, whatever you attempt in the future, the best wishes of the class of ’28 are with you. Athletics Tatler Slaff English Club LEMUEL JAMES HARRIS “Jim ” Salisbury, Maryland. Jim is one of the few quiet boys in the class. It has always been wonderful how he can re¬ main calm when all the rest of the class is nearly dying with mirth. He is quite studious, and never fails to have an answer ready for your question. He is a true example of the old saying; “Speech is silver, but silence is golden.” Best wishes for your future, Jim. English Club THE TATLER—192 8 29 GLADYS JESSIE HEARNE “Glad” Salisbury, Maryland. Here’s our little classmate “Glad”. She is very small but she is simply full of pap and fun. But that’s not all. She works hard and is liked by both teachers and classmates. We teel sure that in whatever she attempts she wi.. suc¬ ceed. , Here’s luck to you, Gladys. English Club FLORENCE HOLLOWAY “Florence” Parsonsburg, Maryland Here is another of the quiet members of out¬ class. She hails from Parsonsburg along with many of the others, this jolly bunch. Florence never says much, but we are sure when she does say something that it is worth She left us in mid-year and we all missed her through those last few months. Here s to you, Florence. English Club HOWARD HOLLOWAY “How” Quantico, Maryland. Well, just what would the students from Quantico have done without Howard? Wasnt he an obliging and patient driver—yes sir!— when the old bus got stubborn and wanted coaxing. He showed all these traits in his school life too. So may you never have any¬ thing more stubborn than that bus to contend with. English Club O.G.A. MARGARET ELIZABETH HOLLOWAY “Betty Salisbury, Maryland. Of course you all know Betty. There are not many people in W. H. S. that don t. J n case y° u don’t know, she is the daughter of Professor Holloway from Normal School and she is cei- taily proud of him. If you need any help in your studies, go to Betty; she will tell you something. I have only one thing to say. Who¬ ever gets Betty will get a good seamstress. Betty can surely sew. Social Civics Club English Chib _3 THE TAT LER—19 28 EDNA MARIE HOLLOWAY “Holloway” Parsonsburg, Maryland. Marie is one of our quiet students. It is very seldom that a teacher catches her talking. Marie comes from Parsonsburg along with many others on the bus. It seems that Marie ha one hobby and that is curling her hair. She always comes to school with her hair neatly curled. Marie, let us suggest that you get a per¬ manent wave and that will save many burnt fingers. English Club HENRIETTA FRANCES HOPKINS u Henny ” Salisbury, Maryland. “Henny” is one of our most popular gradu¬ ates. Maybe you don ' t know it but she was the first to start the long hair fad over here. “Henny” is always in a good humor, but when she does get angry you had better watch out because she is fierce. Nevertheless, “Henny” is a good sport and can take a joke on herself as well as anyone else. It has been reported that she thinks quite a lot of a certain boy in high school. Good luck “Henny” that is all we can say. Orchestra English Club EMILY HILDA HOPKINS “HU” Fruitland, Maryland. Hilda is very quiet, you can hardly tell when she is around. Hilda has dark brown eyes and dark hair. They say that quiet people acquire more knowledge than talkative ones. If that’s the case, Hilda has enough knowledge to last her a life time. Hilda comes in on the bus and I am sure she has a lot of company. Listen Hilda, we wouldn’t aavise you to make too many “goo-goo eyes” at that boy friend of yours or we are liable to lose you. English Club SARAH ETTA HUFFINGTON “Sally” Allen, Maryland Ch! Silent Sarah softly steps upon the stage! Big brown eyes, wavy brown hair— yes, that’s Sarah. She doesn’t say much, yet— “she could if she would, but she won’t.” Sarah rus. that priceless gift—a sweet and lovely dis¬ position. She is the most obliging girl we know and we hope that she will get a husband worthy of her sweet nature. We know she’ll make him a good wife, which cannot be said of every girl. English Club THE TATLE R—1 9 2 8 31 MARY MARGARET HUMPHREYS “Peggy Salisbury, Maryland. You know an “awfully” good joke, but no one is interested. Who will listen? Why Mar¬ garet will, of course! Good old Margaret, she 11 always .au ;h with you, however bum your jokes mav be! No more lively or fun-loving girl can be found—yet she’s not silly; when the time comes, she can bo as sympathetic and serious as one would wish. Margaret will always be liked wherever she goes. English Club Glee Club ANNE ROSELIE JOHNSON “Anne” Salisbury, Maryland. Anne, as all the senior class knows, is one of our A No. 1 pupils. Anne has been a won¬ derful help to our class in both helping individ¬ uals and securing a tatler. Because ot her hard studying and popularity she was chosen as Treasurer of tne senior class. Anne, we are sure, will be a big success out in the world as she was during her high school career. Tatler Staff Treasurer of Senior Class ALBERT SAMUEL KRAUSE “ Dutchy ” Salisbury, Maryland. Now we’ll introduce to you “Dutchy” Krause. Just ask him anything about a shave and a hair cut—ha knows. Dutchy is also quite interested in a gill whom he calls “Sis” but the name isn’t at all appropriate, as he thinks of her in a different manner. Here’s luck, “Dutchy.’ Athletics English Club ALVERTA LIVINGSTON “Al” Salisbury, Maryland. Of all our senior class Alverta has the most friends. Wherever you hear someone at noon, talking above all the rest you may know with¬ out looking—its Alverta. That’s all rignt, Al, make yourself heard. Its the only w r ay to get along in the world. A couole of weeks ago Alverta caught a “beau” and he’s still hanging close. She must have made a pet of him—eh wot? Tatler Staff Athletics 32 THE T A T L E R—1 928 IRMA PRYOR MALONE “Irma” Salisbury, Maryland. Irma is another member of the “intelligent group.” She was hardly ever called on to do something to help us, that she did not respond very readily. Her help with the Tatler is es¬ pecially noticed and we certainly did appreci¬ ate it. We hope Irma you will always be as will¬ ing to help others as you were the class of ' 28. 7 atler Staff Social Problem Club Glee Cluh English Club VIRGINIA MALONE “Ginny” Salisbury, Maryland.

She has visited us a few times, so it is not as bad as it could be, but we have missed her pleasant laugh and cheerful presence. irginia is one of our star Domestic Science students, especially in cooking. We are quite sure she will make someone a good wife. Enough said, for we promised not to tell. Best wishes, Virginia. English Club MILDRED CATHERINE MATTHEWS “Millie” Salisbury, Maryland.

That was one thing Mildred was teased quite a lot about—especially in Miss Wootten’s class. Mildred has only been in W. H. S. three years as her first year was in Pittsville. I wonder if all those in Pittsville are as nice as Mildred. English Club L. THOMAS PARKER ‘Tow Salisbury, Maryland “Who is this bright young man?” Why, don’t you know? He’s the Mayor’s son. Tom is a good fellow all right, and is popular with both sexes, which proves that he’s worth-while. One never hears Tom criticised—Oh, Tom’s a good sport”—they all say. But he’s no “goody- goody”—ask the boys. Tom will be remem¬ bered with a smile by all of us, whenever we look back to the “good old days.” English Club Soccer LEILA FRANCES PERDUE “ Skeeter ” Parsonsburg, Maryland. Sixth period, and all is quiet. Suddenly a titter breaks the silence, and everyone looks up. “Oh, it’s just Leila.” Leila left us at midyear, and the school lost a little bit of sunshine when her bright face was seen no more. She was one of that merry Parsonsburg “gang” who are sure to get the most fun out of everything they meet. Everybody likes Leila, and the class of ’28 will miss her long after they have sepa¬ rated. English Club MAURICE FREENY POWELL “ Hemy ” Salisbury, Maryland. Maurice is another of the group that left us in February. All those, who were in the same classes as “Henry” in the first semester, missed his merry laugh and his witty jokes the last part of the year. When everything was ca.m and peaceful, up popped Henry with a joke. He intends to go to college next year and the class of ’28 wishes him success. English Club 34 THE TATLE R—1 9 2 8 HELEN PAULINE ROBERTSON “Paula” Quantico, Maryland. And here ' s good old Pauline! A cheerful soul who goes about in her quiet way, doing her bit and making the least fuss about it. The world needs more of Pauline ' s type, and surely the class benefits by her presence. She is so cheerful, so willing to help that we know she will some day make herself indispensable to some man. Best luck to you, Pauline, and re¬ member that “He who succeeds is not he who makes the most noise. ' ' English Club GERTRUDE MARGARET ROUNDS “ Gertie” Salisbury, Maryland. You wish an example of modesty and quiet¬ ness in the modern girl. Here you are—dear reader, may we present Miss Gertrude Rounds! It is truly a relief to find, amid all these would- be flappers, a really quiet, well-bred girl. Here is one girl with more on her mind than her hair. She doesn ' t make a lot of noise about it, but the knowledge is there, and when the rest of the class is “stumped for an answer, Ger¬ trude can usually produce one. English Club Glee Club EDNA MAE SHOCKLEY “Ed” Salisbury, Maryland. On blue Mondays, when tests threaten and the Wiccmiico invites, what do you look for? A friend, of course—one who will listen to your woes. Edna is the very one you want. De¬ pendable, cheerful, Edna is always ready to comfort you when you are sad. We cannot im¬ agine Edna as a “clinging vine. She is one of the pillars of the class, and we know she will make a good teacher, nur e, or wife—whatever she decides to be. English Club Glee Club EDNA PEARL SHOCKLEY “Ed” Salisbury, Maryland. We all know Edna with the fluffy brown locks, who drives her Dodge to school so often She is very demure but has a sly blush when a certain name is mentioned. All teasing aside though, we did miss her when she left in Feb¬ ruary and here ' s wishing you good luck. English Club O. A. T. O. G. A. THE TATLE R—19 2 8 35 MAURICE RONALD SMITH “ Smitty ” Salisbury, Maryland. Of course you all know Ronald with his “I’ve just got to pass.” He is a boy that is al¬ ways the center of attraction because of his power to throw his voice and to make all sorts of witty remarks. „ _ Ronald goes out in his “Chev.” every Sun¬ day. Does he go alone—we wonder? “Smitty” will make good in business be¬ cause he surely can collect bills. Commercial Club Advertising Manager English Club O. G. A. O.A.T. MARGARET GORDON STEWART “ Margie ” Salisbury, Maryland. Margaret seems quiet, timid, and shy to many, but to those who know her she is a good sport. She is successful in making friends. She has made a good record for herself in her studies at old W. H. S. We are confident she will continue to do so. English Club SARAH VIRGINIA STEWART “ Archie ” Salisbury, Maryland Sarah is the business manager for the Tat- ler. Much credit should be given her for the part she did in helping us to get this book. She should also deserve much praise tor getting the advertisments. Her work on the latlei shows that she will make a very good business woman. . , Wherever you see Sarah you may be sure to see her friend “Dot.” They go uptown every day. We wonder why? Commercial Club O.G.A. English Clnh O.A.T. MARY LOUISE TAYLOR “Mary Lou” Salisbury, Maryland. “Who’s the girl with the wonderful hair?” Mary Louise’s shining head is the envy of all the girls. And it has proved no mean attract- ion for the “sterner” sex, for Mary Louise never lacks dates. She is one of that happy-go- ,ucky crowd that infests the front entrance be¬ tween classes. Always smiling, well-dressed, gay—that’s our Mary Louise! Much success in later life, “Mary Lou,” and may you always have hosts of friends. English Club Tatler Staff Glee Club 36 THE TATLE R—1 9 2 8 RICHARD LEE TAYLOR “Dick” Salisbury, Maryland. Dick is a favorite among his classmates. He is always cheerful, no matter how hard a time he is having. He is ever willing to help the other members of his class and for this rea¬ son he is always surrounded by friends.

T. DELLA WESTERVEL TERRY “Del Mardela, Maryland. “Del” comes from Mardela and is the life of the bus. Della would make a very success¬ ful business woman, as her present hobby is collecting options on. Don ' t worry “Del” we won’t tell on you. She is very popular, her pleasant person¬ ality having won her many friends. Della we wish you the best of luck. English Club JOHN TESTA “ Johnny ” Salisbury, Maryland. All hail Johnny, the tease! We all like Johnny because he is always jolly and he teases us at every opportunity. John is one of the most mischievous boys in the class of ’28. He is well thought of by all the members of our class. Regardless of what happens, Johnny tries to do his part. He will be remembered for the heip he gave in the typing of the Tatler. Commercial Club Tatler Staff English Club O. G. A. Baseball O.A.T. MARY GRACE TESTA “Murray Salisbury, Maryland. “Murray” is one of our best commercial students. In English class, when Mrs. Pope starts dictating at the rate of sixty words a second, Mary calmly takes her notes as if it were the easiest thing in the world. Oh! how we envy her speed. Mary intends to be a stenographer and we are sure of her success. Whatever you do or wherever you go, Mary, you may be sure of the best wishes of the class. G. A. T. English Club O.G.A.

Competent Typist English Club SARA ISABELLE TOULSON Issy Salisbury, Maryland. Stop! Look! and Listen! Folks this is “Issy.” “Issy” is without a doubt our wittiest member of the Senior Class. Once Issy’s greatest problem was getting rid of freckles—she succeeded in that, now it is keeping up with her man. Issy s most snort is dancing. She sure can do that-and how. Some day she may be a dancing teacher —who knows? Athletics English Club JAMES THOMAS TRUITT Jim Salisbury, Maryland. Jim may well be called the b.ggest tease. in the class, for this seems to be his hobby. He generally picks a girl for his victim and try as we may, we cannot tease him in return. Jim intends to go to college next year, and we are sure that he will be very P°P“ lar for { makes friends wherever he goes. May you be successful in whatever you undertake. English Club KENDALL JAMES TRUITT “Kennel Handy Parsonsburg, Maryland. Kennel is another of the group who came to us from Parsonsburg. All of the girls envy his beautiful golden curls, but this is one of his chief grievances. He has been heard to say that ne prefers red. We wonder why . “Kennel” is famous for his pictures of movie stars and his drawings. He plans to go to col¬ lege, but he hasn’t decided which one yet. Best wishes for your future, 1 Handy.

Kitty,’ one of the demure young ladies of our class, was one of the lucky ones who left in mid-year She is always kind and willing to help a fellow when he gets “stalled.” “Kitty” might seem to an outsider to be very quiet, but we know her to be as merry and wi ' tty as any Best of luck to you. English Club OAT O. G. A. CLYDE WINFIELD WALLER Puffy Salisbury, Maryland. Clyde is a man of few words, so he says, but when he starts talking in homeroom, well you should just ask Miss Whaley about that.

He has not yet decided what he wants to do, but whatever you do Edward you may be sure of the best wishes of the class of ’28. English Club Athletics Vice P; esident of Senioi ' Class LILLIE WATSON “Pose” Salisbury, Maryland. The best way to introduce Lillie is by say¬ ing “The girl who drives the Ford car.” Lillie’s nickname is quite different from her name but it really suits her better. Lillie can always be seen driving, with a crowd of girls to and from school. She is al¬ so a good basketball player. She makes a wicked basket. A thletics English Club EDWARD HOMER WHITE “Son t: Salisbury, Maryland. Behold the President of the class of ’28. Homer has guided us successfully through three of our four years in W. H. S.

English Club The Girl’s Manual Training Class At the beginning of the second semester a Girls’ Manual Training Class was organ¬ ized. They were first taught to use the different tools—to saw, to plane, and to drive a nail without hitting their finger-nails. Then they were ready to begin work in earnest. Mr. Waller, the instructor, let them choose what they wanted to make, providing that it was not too difficult for beginners. Everyone decided to make a small cedar chest. The boys did not think they could do this, so the boys and girls are having a contest to see which group will make the best-looking cedar chests. The class is composed of the following: MR. WALLER, Instructor. MISS LALA MESSICK, Faculty Member.

To: Mr. Bennett we leave one class who won’t act scared to death when he enters the classroom. Mr. Cordrey we leave all of the wealth that now lies at the bottom of the sea. Mr. Smith we bequeath a step-ladder so that he can look over people’s shoulders and see something. Miss Winnie Dryden and Miss Whaley we leave a new s-t of rulers and protractors. Mrs. Pope we leave some very short, easy tests which can be done in two or three hours. Miss Porter we leave Mr. McIntosh’s room as it is much more convenient to the Chemistry room. Miss Straughn we leave some more roughnecks whom she may tame to shamed silence. Miss Willoughby we leave the hope that she will not judge our school by outward appearances. Miss Gordy we bequeath a book on “How to Handle the Freshmen.” Miss Ida Morris we leave many more happy hours in W. H. S. Miss Mildred Morris we leave someone who will share with equal enthusiasm her love of poetry. Miss Messick we leave a Ford to take her on her honeymoon.

Miss Reinmuth we leave someone who takes Caesar for the pure joy of it. The Juniors we leave the chance to get a gloriously swelled head over—what? A. J. Benjamin we leave a book entitled “How to Behave in English Class.” Iva, Marian, Elizabeth, and Virginia, we leave an artificial vanity case with which to powder their noses.

There just isn’t enough history to write!” “Well,” suggested the other, “why not just tell who has been elected to offices and then go on with your message?” The wrinkles in the forehead of the writer slowly subsided, and were replaced by a smile on his lips. For sometime the silence was only broken by the scratching of his pen, but at last he jumped up and presented a paper to his friend. The latter, taking it read: ’ Fiist, I wish to thank those members of the faculty who have suffered with us through our Junior year for their invaluable aid, help, and assistance. They are: Miss Mildred Morris, Miss Wooten, Miss Whaley, Miss Moore, Miss Willoughby, Miss Straughn, Miss Porter, Mr. Carroll, and Mr. Waller. From the whole school 1 don’t think we could have had a better corps of teachers. “ Also w i s , h to convey my sympathy—beg pardon—congratulations, to Larrv Wimbrow, President; Joseph Wubbold, Vice President; Edgar McGrath, Secretary; and Curtis Humphreys, Treasurer, of the Junior Class. The first word was prompted bv some of our past exploits, but then I remembered the tact, ability, persuasive powers and energy of these superlative officers. “Kind friends have asked me to suggest to Iva Beard that, when teaching, she had ?,? tt ? r il? 4 ' a £ e a specialty of History, in view of the fact that she once told us that the Hattie of Gettysburg was fought during the Revolution. “Herbert Hardesty is still trying to convince Miss Morris that Shylock is not as bad as she thinks. He says that in another three years of English from her, she mav believe him. ’ J “Hannah Steele seems to be learning a lot about insanity. Hearing, that if a mark V ' °, m Pressure stayed on your hand two minutes, you were crazy, she made one on hers. A half hour later it was still there. “Since Mary Campbell had Miss Willoughby letter her name with that of a strange boy on a sheet of paper, Alvin Tilghman has been crying his heart out. Give him some encouragement, Mary, and save his life. In conclusion, we of the Junior Class, as much as we like our vacation, now that it is near, also look forward to the day when we shall come back as Seniors to the school where we have already spent three years, and hope that when that day arrives we will keep the same high standard set by the class of ’28 and previous Senior classes A.

September and we were aiK££eSa i®a££: “= - s asSE s3wjS£as®5:st: 62 THE TATLE R—1 9 2 8 Roll Call of Class of u 27 . , Th j s there were eighty-seven boys and girls joyously awaiting June 1. And why shouldn t they be happy ? They had finished four long years of seemingly hard work And now as another June draws near, let us pause for a moment and think of brought° yS an glF S ° Ur c assmates a year ago, and see what changes the year has Quite a few of our number enrolled at Beacom’s last fall. Among those are: Alice Llzey, Leoma Wal ls, Walton Parsons and John Bailey. Alice played on Beacom’s basket- -iL 22™ thlS , year , They have worked hard and we just know they will all graduate with “flying colors.” William Smith, Phillip Cooper, and Francis Holloway, that trio which seemed in¬ separable on the hill top, ' chose the same college—University of Maryland. Evidently they still think that they cannot get along without each other. Elizabeth W r alton, Maude Tilghman, W ilbur Jones, Howard Layfield, and Lemuel Dryden, are others who entered the same college. When Normal School opened wide its doors last fall, there was a goodly number from W. H. S to enter. Thelma Bounds, Grace Timmons, Ruth Jenkins, Dolores Jones, Hma Owens Martha Jones, Myrtle Marshall, Mary Tubbs, Edna Dixon, Elizabeth Jones, and Polly White, are some of the girls who entered. These girls who were our class¬ mates last year will be teachers in another year. We can scare 2 ly believe that in such a short time we shall be looking upon these girls, our classmates, as full-fledged dignified “school marms.” Shortly after graduation we heard of the marriage of Irma Pollitt. She was the hist of the class of 27 to embark on the sea of matrimony. However, in September an¬ other marriage occurred, that of Nellie Mae Turner to Lylburn Taylor. This was more or less a surprise for Nellie Mae started the post-graduate course in the fall. She studied a few days and then changed her mind, and of course, being a girl she had a perfect right to do that. A few of our class have been studying this year, in the “city of brotherly love.” Jennie Carey, Clarence West, and Woodfield Tindle entered Pierce ' s. Maria Thorough- good is also in Philadelphia. She is taking a four year course at Temple University. Others have gone to colleges, some in the North and some in the South. Ruth Mes- sick is going to Southern Seminary. Margaret Kennedy goes to Ashley Hall. Annabel Dick is enrolled at Penn Hall. Helen Truitt is a student at Marjorie Webster’s. Sh« is studying to be a physical director. Practically all those who completed the commercial course last June have secured positions with firms either in town or just outside. Carroll Long, our president, is work- JP.? , or „ , on £ Lumber Co. in Fruitland. David Fields is working for the Standard V 1 Ji • , “ elen Toadvme works for Feldman Bros. Wanda Richardson is working in Adkins office. There are quite a few in the class of ’27 who came back to take up the post-graduate course; Cleo Dennis, Althea Krause, Lillian Phillips, Dora Taylor, Gladys Van Horn, Aline Wilkins, Eunice Cannon, Grace Leonard, Edward Betts, Lewis Dennis Ford Brewington. ’ The year has brought many changes. Our classmates are scattered here and there but we expect to greet them all sometime, somehow, somewhere. But there is one whom we shall not meet again in this world, for Death claimed one of our dearest friends. She was known and loved by us all. There was never a girl who entered the doors of W. H. b. more thoughtful and considerte of others than Thelma Phipps She was pa- Dent, loving obedient, and always willing to lend a helping hand. Thelma has left a host of faithful friends. And that is not all—she left a spotless character. Something that all of us should work for—a character that is unblemished by thoughtless words or deeds. W hat a beautiful thing it would be if we would resolve to mould our lives bv the short life that Thelma lived. 64 THE TATLE R—1 9 2 8 SOCCER TEAM Wimbrow, H. Brittingham, N. H. Smith, (Coach) V.

As we had won and lost one game to Berlin we had optimistic views of taking this one and at the same time making it three straight but we were due to disappointment because Berlin nosed us out in a close and fast game. Delmar being our last game and at home too, the team worked itself up to the of condition. But we again tasted defeat at the hands of Delmar although we held them to a closer score than on their home grounds. . , . . Our percentage hung at the .385 mark: winning 3, losing 5, and tying 1.

Trailing by only two points at the end of the first half two local players were forced to the showers via the personal foul route and this together with an irresistible force in the person of Fritz Stude, spelled defeat. Every man of the starting five showed a distinct improvement in form over 1927 Brewington, captain of the team, easily had his best season scoring 218 points_a half hundred or more than the previous year. Wimbrow and White not only developed into tenacious guards but provided a bewildering attack as well.

BASEBALL With only a few regulars left from last year’s team Coach Cordrey called out ail the baseball candidates early in April. Due to the late start the Highlets had to put in some earnest practice from which a team was built around the nuclei; namely, Ward, Wimbrow, Krause, White and Puinell. The result of this practice is well illustrated in the game with Princess Anne. Here the Indians applied the whitewash with little effort, the score ending 28-0. In this game everyone on the squad participated and displayed a snappy game. The Warriors then met with Pittsville in a slugfest but did not fare so well coming out on the short end of the 14-8 score. Coach Twilley’s boys displayed a good brand of the National Pastime and were seldom threatened by the Upton Street nine. In this game the usual pep was not shown and this proved the main factor in our defeat. In the first County Championship game Delmar High shut out Wicomico 3-0. Phillips of Delmar held the Indians’ bats to four scattered hits. Here again the snap was lacking and as the team proved “wobbly” both at the bat and afield the high school boys did not play the game they are capable of playing.
