They were about to travel the rough hut mucn traversed road of “Knowledge.” Wicomico High School opened its arms to welcome these youngsters and extended to them a cordial invitation to remain on its premises for four years. Most of the boys and gins accepted tnis invitation and resolved to work for the general betterment of uie school in order to show their appreciation for this opportunity ottered to them to become successful. In 1938 tney laid the foundation, and eacn year they added a new note to this resolution for making their four-year stay at Wicomico High a beneficial one. After several weeks of exploring the school building and bumping into the upperclassmen and teachers, the r reshman Class settled down to work and, for the first time, began to take part in the many things going on around them. A club called “The Singing b reshies” was organized, and its members presented several musical triumphs, proving that there was quite a bit of talent in the group. Soon a Thanksgiving Day Play, entitled “The Captain’s Dilemna” and directed by Mrs. Graham, was presented by the Fresnman Class. Towards the end of that first year, a Freshman Declamation Contest was held in the auditorium. Eacn home room was well represented with capable speakers, but Home Room 30 walked away with the honors, since Betsy Alien and Jack Krusen were their candidates. Spring approached and the students were anxious to divert their attention from their Latin books to a more interesting subject — swimming during summer vacation. At last the school term ended, and each freshman breathed a sigh of relief as he realized tnat the worst part of his high school days was over. 1939 Our young friends, now sophomores, returned to the campus of old Wi Hi, eager to proceed farther in their quest of knowledge. Tnere was a decided cttange in the group — they were now becoming men and women and had outgrown the name of “Freshies.” The Student Council, the paper, sports, and the various school clubs began to beckon to them, and one by one they showed their interest by taking part. Not only did they participate in the events of the upperclassmen, but also they went forward with a few things of their own. Encouraged by the success of the Fresh¬ man Declamation Contest, the hopeful sophomores held a similar contest, and this time Virginia Brittingham from Home Room 23 and Betsy Allen ftwice winner) from Home Room 28 shared the honors. At Christmas time, a play entitled “Through Other Eyes,” under the direction of Miss Davis, was presented. The characters of the play included Doris Moore, Mildred Bailey, Betty Niblett, Marian Holland, William Adkins, and Lee Townsend. Examination time came, and it was evident that the sophomore year was about to close and that many would pass on to the title of juniors. That sophomore year was one of vital importance to most of the students since it placed them in the half-way mark of their high school education. 42 Their carefree days as freshmen and sophomores were over, and the next school term would recognize them as “Upperclassmen.” 1941 In 1940, the new Junior Class set out to prove that they had meant what they said when they entered Wi Hi. They elected as class officers: President, Robert Venables; Vice-President, Marie Smith; Secretary, Betty Elliott; Treasurer, Mildred Bailey; Historian, Emagene Cooper. These officers, aided by representatives from all the home rooms, chose as their class motto “Perseverance — The Virtue of Victory.” It was evident that there were athletes in the Junior Class, since many of the boys and girls took part in the various school teams. Others preferred to help with the Student Council, and a few became members of the paper staff. Someday, perhaps, you’ll read these names in the lights on Broadway, especially after their wonderful performances in “Meet Uncle Sally.” Indeed Mary Jane Richardson, Jack Perry, Anita Dise, William Adkins, Anne Adkins, Marie Smith, Priscilla Phillips, Marian Holland, Jack Parsons, George Perdue, Richard Gjerulff, and Maurice Price brought pride to the class in December, when they presented the Junior Class Play. In January, 1941, the motion was made that the class hold a party. After several weeks of planning, a junior party was held, and everyone who attended had a grand time. In May, the Junior Class members shared the annual banquet with the Senior Class. How proud they felt as they heard the speakers of the graduating class bestowing upon them the honor of being the Seniors of 3942. Many of them received inspiration from the many fine students in that group and chose them as fine examples to follow the next year. 1942 Senior Year — that year looked forward to by every boy and girl from the time he is old enough to read! Experience has often shown that the happiest year in one’s life is spend during his last year in high school — those carefree days before one becomes a man of the world. In spite of the horrible conditions of war which existed in the world at that time, the members of the graduating class considered it their duty to receive the education which was due them and continued their work with grim determination. In the fall a play entitled “Dream Doctor” was pre¬ sented by Miss Erwood with the cooperation of the following seniors: Priscilla Phillips, Mildred Bailey, Jimmy Turner, Robert Venables, Orland Langrall, Cecil Stout, David Dulany and a group of senior Indians. Many of the class members distinguished themselves in football, basketball, vol¬ ley ball, soccer, and baseball and contributed towards the success of the major part of our teams. The class elected as its officers: President, Mary Witzel; Vice-President, Harold Kelley; Secretary, Henrietta Jones; Trea¬ surer, Marie Smith; Historian, Mildred Bailey. These officers held regular meetings and began plans early for the Senior Prom. With the aid of many capable committees, the Prom, which was held on March 16, was a very memorable one. The receiving line, the Grand March, the fine orchestra, the unusual decorations, and of course the refreshments com¬ bined to mark the Prom as a success. The members of the class decided to change the traditional school ring in favor of a new one with a blue set. The new rings were similar to the old ones in that they still contained the school seal. The “Tom-Tom” rose to the front early in the year, and the staff was elected to begin work on it. Orland Langrall, who had shown his capability as editor of the school paper, was elected editor of the “Tom¬ Tom”; Mary Witzel was elected assistant editor; Mildred Bailey, business manager; and Anita Dise, treasurer. The Senior Class Play, which was held on May 15, was an exciting comedy. Miss Warren was the director, and the cast included: Priscilla Phillips, Marie Smith, Jane Hughes, Jimmie Turner, Mildred Bailey, Eleanor Jean Brown, William Adkins, and Maurice 43 Price. The Junior-Senior Banquet was held on May 22, and indeed as each member of the graduating class looked around and saw the faces of the boys and girls who had been his classmates for the past four years, he felt a sudden feeling of sorrow and wished he might stay for a few more years. The class president, the Student Council president, Mr. Cordrey, Mr. Bennett, Mr. Tilghman, the guest speaker, and tne valedictorian made interesting speeches. The banquet was climaxed by the traditional reading of the class will. In spite of the many full stomacns caused by over-indul¬ gence the dance whicn followed proved a great success. The hours to be spent in Wicomico High School rapidly diminisned. Only the Baccalaureate Service and the Commencement exercises remained. The Baccalaureate address was very ably given by Reverend Crazier. Commencement night arrived at last on May 29. Tnat was one night when everybody was on time! How proud eacn senior felt when he heard Jimmy Turner, the vale¬ dictorian, deliver the final address. One by one the anxious boys and girls received their diplomas — that small bit of white paper for which they had so earnestly striven for four years. As they held these valuable documents in their hands, many felt a new feeling of freedom, while others felt sad at the thought of leaving school. As they heard the names of their many friends called and as they watcned them receive their diplomas, they recalled the many adventures through which they had passed to- eether. All the Seniors wish to extend to Betty Lou Niblett, and Dorothy Taylor, two of their classmates who unavoidably were unable to graduate this year, best wishes for a successful year in 1943. To Mr. Cordrey and to all the other members of our fine faculty, we express our gratitude for the understanding and patience they have shown during these four years. And now, we close Page 1942 in the “Memory Book and somewhat hesitantly take our leave of Wicomico High School, eager to seek our fortunes wherever Fate may direct us. MILDRED BAILEY, Historian WMi We, the Senior class of Wicomico High School, do this day bequeath some of our dearest possessions to the undergraduates whom we leave behind us. They are to be guarded closely and jealously and used wisely. 1. To the five senior home room teachers we leave four years of mem¬ ories and hopes for better freshman classes. 2. To Mr. Howard we leave Scott Morris in the hope that he will have at least one physics student. 3. To Miss Davis we leave three months of peace and quiet and wishes for good, quiet home rooms in ’42 and ’43. 4. Joe Wimbrow leaves his ability successfully to “beat around the bush” to anyone who can get away with it. 5. To various leaders of the Junior Class we bequeath our esteemed editor’s many fine qualities. 6. To Dale Ball we leave Warren Steere’s ability to talk himself out of anything. 7. Charlie Dashiell leaves Mary Wright Silvey - to finish her education. Period. 8. Pratt Townsend’s abilities in basketball and baseball we bequeath to Pete Dennis. 44 9. We leave Doris Moore’s quaint manner and blushes to Marylee Davis. 10. “Dazey” Turner’s flair for overalls and plaid shirts we leave to Jack Holt. 11. We give Dave Dulany’s “all-round” abilities to Jimmy Brown. 12. Nellie Matthews’ knowledge (?) of physics we leave to Grace Mumford. 13. Jim Turner’s popularity and noise we leave to Tommy Bailey. 14. Barbara Whipple’s artistic ability shall be handed down to Ellin Early. 15. Jean Wier, Priscilla Phillips, Betty Wilson, and Betty Adkins leave the soldiers in the Westover Camp to Wi-Hi maidens. 16. Joe Suarez sadly leaves behind about four hundred girls for you Wi-Hi Braves. 17. Ralph Brown and Bob Venables leave their ability to mix lessons, sports, and romance — in that order — to whoever thinks he can do as good a job as they. 18. To Billy Benjamin, Bill Porter leaves lots of vague excuses that he can use if he’ll just improve upon them. 19. Bill “Dimples” Morgan bequeaths his love for bright ties to Vic Keene. 20. To Jane Wulf, Eleanor Jean Brown leaves her swing. 21. Charlie White leaves his devilish ways and uproarious laugh to Alfred Truitt. 22. Ernie Townsend leaves the backfield of the football team to Scott Morris, Jimmy Brown, and Bob Williams. 23. To Charlotte Brown, Mary Belle Wilson leaves her sweet and charm¬ ing manner. 24. To Wallace Luffman and “Tessie” German, Jack Fogel and Archie Hill leave their basketball ability. 25. Judy Hopkins, who inherited her habit of flirting from Jean Harris, leaves it to Helen Barr. 26. Betty Jane Wharton leaves Charlie Hemming — but it isn’t willingly that she does it. 27. Jean Tingle leaves her happy-go-lucky ways to Edward Lord. 28. From our beloved “Chief” we take Bill Collins, Hubert Duffy. Bob Tilghman, Thomas Barnes, Charlie White, Bishop Bowen, and Orland Langrall — and leave in their stead a new class for him. Good luck with them, “Chief” — You’ve done a fine job for old W. H. S. 29. To Coach Berry we leave best wishes for teams as swell as ours have been in the past. There can, in our estimation, be no better. 30. To Ruth Northam and Betty Jane Elliott we leave memories of Bill Parker and two straws. The long one wins. 31. Betty Jarrett leaves her bookkeeping ability to Billy Calloway. 32. Jean Wier mournfully leaves behind six packs of well-chewed gum under the sixth seat in the second row in bookkeeping class. 33. To Patsy Brown we leave Ann Sullivan’s chair in the office. 34. To Miss Gordy we leave a recording machine so that she can rest up between salesmanship and P. D. classes. 35. To Iris Laws we leave Doris Adkins’s book on “Five Ways to Get a Man.” Of course, Doris doesn’t guarantee its worth. And finally to Carlyn Merryman and Jane Wulf we leave our undying love for the old Alma Mater. Cherish it, “and let it grow,” and when you leave, bequeath it as we have done upon some worthy persons. It is the most valuable of all our possessions. And to the others of you we Seniors of the Class of ’42 leave our school spirit and devotion to our teams. Be worthy of them — that is all we ask. Testators: ANN SULLIVAN ORLAND LANGRALL JIMMY TURNER 45 C L A S S- pMLfdtecy HOME ROOM 28 The lights dim, the curtain rises, and onto the magnificient stage steps ANNE ADKINS appearing as the leading lady in one of Wagner’s operas. The lights dim, the curtain rises, and onto the magnificent stage steps ANNE battles in which the U. S. boys valiantly fought. BISHOP BOWEN with his own famous band will be seeking new attractions at the Meadow brook. A firm believer in Democracy, ELEANOR JEAN BROWN will be furthering demo¬ cratic principles at many parties, clubs, and meetings—making stirring speeches at all of them. HERBERT CHATHAM will be sitting at a huge desk with secretaries all around him. “Herb” is chief executive of the “Consolidated Model Airplanes Producers.” All over leading magazine covers MARY JANE CLARK’S now famous face will be smiling. She has been Power’s model since 1947. Naturally EMAGENE COOPER will be one of the working, married ladies. She will have a responsible secretarial position. ANITA DISE, one of the leading woman doctors of the U. S., will be head of the staff in a New York hospital. CAROLINE FITCH will be one of Herbert Chatham’s stenographers at his Model Airplane Factory. The crystal ball makes the startling prediction that MARIE GRAHAM will be a teacher in the business college that she is going to attend. We know that the Belle of Fruitland, RUTH HASTINGS, will make all the boys turn around and look twice when she walks down the main street of Fruitland. All over the front pages of the leading newspapers, we will see that MARIAN HOLLAND will attract thousands of spectatators at her comedy show, where her own original laugh makes hundreds of people roll over into the aisles. In that little white house in the middle of the block will be JULIA HOPKINS, now Mrs.- (Oops, I almost told you), and her faithful husband. Of course, everyone knows what JANE HUGHES will be doing. Now Mrs. Bob White, she will faithfully go about her household drudgeries, waiting for Bob to come to lunch. Teaching the freshmen of this high school English, HENRIETTA JONES will be¬ come famous for introducing her new painless teaching method. My, My, HAROLD KELLEY—Let’s see—Oh! of course. It was in the new aviation magazine that he had designed a new super-plane that will go seven hundred miles an hour. On Market Street ORLAND LANGRALL will be a promising young business man. He now runs a furniture store, but to his home he always hurries because of the beau¬ tiful wife waiting there for him. I wonder who she’ll be. In a huge corporation GEORGE THOMAS LEONARD will be the chief chemical en¬ gineer. He will surely invent a process of making good synthetic rubber. On the deck of a new battleship, RUSSELL MALONE, the best tail-story teller in the Navy, will be telling one of his favorite ones to a group of admirers. MARIE MEISE will be a second Florence Nightingale, following the noble pro¬ fession of nursing. The new picture that DORIS MOORE will make for MGM «vill be more famous than “Gone With The Wind.” Our hign school beauty is still unmarried. In college BILL PARKER will make the All-American football team for all his four years. BOBBY TILGHMAN and JACK PARSONS will form a corporation and render their services to anyone that will need them. We don’t know whether ALMIRA PERDUE will be a married secretary or an un¬ married one, but we are sure that she will do her job efficiently. In competition with Bishop Bowen will be flame-haired “REDS PERDUE.” It 46 seems there will be a little disagreement over which orchestra will get the $10,000-a- week contract at the Meadowbrook. The faithful JACK PERRY will be a commodore in th e U. S. Navy. Of course, he has been married to Virginia Lee Lewis for six years. In Macy’s, New York, PRISCILLA PHILLIPS will be well-known as a brilliant young interior decorator. MAURICE PRICE will be teaching solid geometry and analytical geometry at the University of Pennsylvania. Of course he’ll come back to W. H. S. and explain to Miss Bankhard one of his new proving methods. We predict that DAVID REAVES and JOE WIMBROW will be the two ace cameramen of the NEW YORK TIMES Staff. Joe also does a little public speaking on the side. DOROTHY SHOCKLEY is to be a traveling business woman, representing a lip¬ stick manufacturer. In the Foreign Legion will be LIEUTENANT DICK TAYLOR, noted among his fel- lowmen as a singer. It is prophesied that our Student Council president, ROBERT VENABLES, will either become President of the United States or advocate of a new mechanical drawing. When ELTON WEBSTER graduates from college, he will have a dual reason for celebrating. He will receive his college diploma and his first old-age pension at the same time. Over station W O R LEO WELCH’S voice will be heard at the time of Red Skel¬ ton’s program and, in fact, all other important programs. He will be made chief radio announcer. HOME ROOM 8 BETTY ANN ADKINS plans to attend Washington Business College, but we think it very likely that instead she will remain a U.S.O. Hostess. WILLIAM SAMPSON ADKINS is just waiting for the dawn of a brilliant career as a salesman of jack-in-the-boxes from behind the counter of a 10-cent store in Phila¬ delphia. Virginia figures in the picture but hanged if we know how. Some futures are really tragic—example—MARY ELIZABETH BAILEY waiting in vain for “Stinky” Chatham to become a patient in the hospital so that she can take his pulse. MILTON BAILEY’S future is very clear and definitely cut out for him. He will be elected to Congress so that he can second all the motions that are made. ISABEL BEAUCHAMP will sometime, not too far in the future, be checking off her list of suitors, with the hospital bills paid record. If he doesn’t pay his bills, he wouldn’t be much good as a husband. KATHLEEN DENNIS is going to have a busy time attending all those fellows from Hebron who are going to pour into the hospital. BETTY LEE ELLIOTT will use a new medical slant; she’ll bring all her patients, including her vast numbet of boy friends, back to health by her crooning. A famous beautician will MAUREEN ENGEL be, but we fear her talents will be wasted upon her husband. Just you wait until JACK FOGEL enters the ministry and then look at the number of female converts. JOYCE FOSKEY will retain her vivacity, but we’re not certain as to how “Walt” will react to this. RICHARD GJERULFF will be captain on a steamboat with Mary as his first mate, but who is going to scrub the deck? It took only one little glance into the crystal ball to show that CONRAD LIV¬ INGSTON will be a mayor of Fruitland. JEANNE LONG will faithfully punch typewriters for the remainder of her days. (?????? soldiers ! ! !) DORIS MALONE’S red haid is going to set some man’s heart afire, and quietly they’ll live happily ever after. Some day in the deep, dark, dismal future, ELIZABETH MILLS is “a gonna add” gn inch or so to her stature. 47 ELSIE MILLS is going to give up any idea of secretarial labor and settle down to home life. There is one and only one future for FLORENCE PARKER. She will be civic leader of the Mt. Herman community. GORDY PARKER has an interesting life ahead; he is going to be Fire Chief and Scoutmaster at d’Altonville. At least one member of the home room is going to attain world renown because ETHEL MAE RANKIN shall become star pianist of the New York Philharmonic Sym¬ phony Orchestra. In later years—Miss Erwood, please take note—NAOMI ROBB will develop a splendid bass voice. We p rophesy that the tires on the Ford NANCY ROHM drives will finally wear out, and she will either have to walk or find some fellow to take her around. Lend an ear, you radio fans, for FRANCES RUSSELL is going to conduct a quiz program for the Alka-Seltzer people. MARGARET SMITH will, on June 12, 1943, change that good old-fashioned Ameri¬ can name to Jones. HAROLD STAUB will fail if he attempts opera in New York, for our crystal-gaz¬ ing has revealed that he will become manager of Schines Arcade Theatre in good old Salisbury. WARREN STEERE will go to S. T. C. just so he can be home-room teacher of all the brats of the present members of Home Room 8. I’m sure the future will find ADMIRAL CECIL STOUT busily combing the salt air out of his moustache (which he intends to grow) and at the same time giving the Japs a naval fit. Since he’s going to be a bachelor (sorry, but he sticks to it, girls), he’ll have to tell his nieces and nephews, instead of his grandchildren, how he won the war single-handed. Barnum and Bailey circuses are just going to have to come back, for LEE TOWN¬ SEND plans to be a midget in one, and he will further amuse any spectators who might attend the shows by walking a tight wire while he smokes big black Havana cigars. As for WALTER TOWNSEND, it seems that he is going to devote the rest of his days in attempting to recover his hat from a certain body of water just past Shad Point. BETTY JANE WHARTON won’t have a bad future at all, as she will look at it, ' cause Crisfield High School—blessings to them—will have her as a gym teacher. One more “bike” will be sold so that MARTHA WHAYLAND can ride to Norfolk to see her brother, she says. H’mmmmm, looks as if the successful and famous Blaine Roberts is going to have a secretary in the form of MISS JANE WHITE. How about your musical talent, Jane? Boy! All the girls should be pleased to hear this, since BILLY WHITE will find sufficient time to date all the females who have their eyes on him. Reno, here he comes. CHARLES McPHERSON WHITE will be found just any old time spending the remainder of his days in the divorce courts. S. T. C. may get MARY JEANNE WRIGHT for awhile, but Pete Bryan is going to get her for keeps. HOME ROOM 23 MARY FRANCES ADKINS will be married and settled down with a couple of kids, one blond and one red head, running about the house. JEANETTE BAKER will probably be a typical stenographer. OLIN BOUNDS will be playing on his guitar, serenading Betty Lou Davis. MARY BRITTINGHAM will be a neat, efficient, quiet little housewife. VIRGINIA BRITTINGHAM will be just the right nurse to call in cases in which William Adkins gets sick. ELWOOD BURBAGE is a prominent farmer and bachelor of Powellville. Another Thomas Edison, LOUIS CAREY, works all night to see if electric bulbs can’t be made to burn out. CATHERINE COULTER is one of those secretaries who can be depended upon tq do her work efficiently. 48 If we look around, we’ll probably find ANNA DON AWAY in some office as oecre- tary. ELIZABETH GREENE is secretary to Hugh Herbert, a prominent movie actor. RUTH HAMBLIN will be staying up late at night, trying to figure out her mistake in bookkeeping. SONNY INGERSOLL will be scrubbing the decks of some big ocean liner because of flirting with the girls in port. WILSON LEWIS is another popular sailor in port. CHARLIE LOYD, another Daniel Webster, debates for his rights. The people of Powellville will be proud to have a great farmer like GLEN MASSEY. DOROTHY McGEE will be a good traveling salesgirl for Newberry’s five and dime store. If BILLY MORGAN doesn’t make a salesman at Willing’s, he will end up in the Army. We’ll see BETTY NICHOLSON the head person at Benedict’s the florist’s. For the next few years EDNA OWENS will be waiting for her flying hero. EMMA OWENS will be waiting for Dan Williams to graduate from S. T. C. GEORGE PARKER will be an officer in the Marine Corps, assisting MacArthur in his plans. ARLEY SHOCKLEY will be the future boss of Shockley’s Wallpaper Company MARIE SMITH will be another one of those sweet little secretaries and win her boss’s heart. DORA TAYLOR will probably be plugging in telephone calls for the C. P. Tele¬ phone Company. DOROTHY TAYLOR will be making a big hit with all the patients in the hospital. CHARLES TULL will be a successful agriculture teacher in Pocomoke. NORRIS WARD will be the leading reporter on the Salisbury Times staff. BERTRAM WARE wil probably spend most of his time in the army, peeling po¬ tatoes. EARL WILKINS will become top farmer of the county of Worcester. AUDREY LEE WILLIAMS probably will be seen spending her time around th Mid-City Filling Station. MARY BELLE WILSON can be seen stuffing game for prominent sportsmen. HOME ROOM 27 In, say 1952, we can all see MARGARET ADAMS in her own little cottage, the kind that has green shutters and a trellis of red roses over the door. JIMMY BRITTINGHAM will be a man of the soil, and we can see him now, dis¬ cussing politics around the stove in a country store. JOE CALLAWAY’S plans are at the present time indefinite, but I can see him, a real asset to any community with his quiet determination and knowledge of citizen¬ ship. BETTY CHAPMAN will, by that time, be Mrs. Bob McAllister; so here are our besl wishes to you both. HELEN COOPER will be a hostess in our army camp; her interest in the armed forces is merely patriotic. CHARLIE DASHIELL will be a married man, who will probably make his kids leave home till he stops playing pranks on them. Say, Mary Wright has something to say about this. HUBERT DUFFY will have a brilliant career ahead of him. He will be a much¬ loved “professor,” like our own “Chief,” in some high school. Judging from her brilliant oratories in P. D. class, IRENE GLASGOW will probably be touring the country reforming bad Republicans and making them good Democrats. AL HUMPHREYS will be a military official proudly displaying his uniform as he walks the streets of his old home town. Who can have a better career than that of serving Uncle Sam? BETTY JARRETT will have joined the ranks of the happily married, and if Marion Mumford has anything to say, he’ll be the other half. ALYCE KENNEDY’S ability with a pencil and drawing board will have taken her far in the artistic world. 49 If NELLIE MATTHEWS isn’t Mrs. John Baker by that time—well—either Nellie’s slipping or has decided to stick to her noble career of nursing. NOBLE MEZICK will be a mechanic in one of our big industries. I guess he has changed his mind about driving a big truck. CALVIN MORRIS plans to join the armed forces. Knowing Cal’s quiet way: we know that there is quite a future in store for him. HELEN PHILLIPS plans to be either a beautician or a nurse, but I’ll give you odds that Helen is married and raising a family. We all know that JESSE POLLITT’S dashing ways and good nature will take him far. In which direction ? ? ? ? Well, if you know him as well as I, you won’t have to guess! Good luck, Jesse. BILL PORTER will probably go through life on geometry theorems—a song on his lips. SHELDON SEIDEL will be a top-flight sports announcer, and his cute “lipth” will endear “Sheldon B” to all his feminine admirers. JOE SIMMS’ stamina and energy will carry him through this war and onto the professional football field. WILLIAM CARL SMITH will stay in the Marines after licking the Japs, and he’ll probably be stationed in Hawaii, and we know v hat that means ! ! JOE SUAREZ will marry an American girl (lucky gal) and settle down in some town teaching English in high school and coaching baseball. After following faithfully a hazardous journalistic career ANN SULLIVAN will “be caught’’ by a major-league ball player, and boy will he have a time when she tells him how to play the game! ETHEL THEIS will work in her own beauty parlor all day and skate all night. Ten years won’t change Ethel. PRATT “SLUGGER” TOWNSEND will be covering the “hot corner” of the dia¬ mond for the N. Y. Yanks, and his picture will be on every Wheaties box. OLE “DAZEY” TURNER will probably still be driving his Ford all ’round town with a For Sale sign on the back windows. By that date, he will be a married man- you know “Dazey.” JIM TURNER, that Southern gentleman from the deep South, will, after the war, be sipping mint juleps with his southern miss. ALONZA TYNDALL will be in Uncle Sam’s navy, and he’ll have a girl in every port—or I don’t know Alonza. BILL WAINWRIGHT will be an executive in Woolworth’s establishment; he may be part owner in ten years, who knows ? ? ? VIRGINIA WALLER wants to be Mrs. Buddy Goldstein. That’s that. We all wish her happiness and success. FANNIE WILLIAMS’S skill in shorthand will serve her well—but in ten years— well, her aptness in Home Ec. won’t go to waste. MARY WITZEL will be a very efficient secretary. Maybe she and sister Agatha will work together for fame in the literary world. EVELYN OWENS just wants to be Mrs. Joe Lynch, and her unswerving determina¬ tion ought to make that a cinch. ELIZABETH RAYNE will be Mrs. Jay Brewington—her interest in the Navy will then cease—some. DORIS MILLS is another who plans to be doing stenographic work, but Elton Webster has found a different solution. JEAN WIER will be secretary to some rich old codger, whose nice-looking son will see “Jeanie;” then—wedding bells! HOME ROOM 21 DORIS ADKINS will still be trying to track down a man in 1950 and will still be mbing her pretty blonde hair in the latest fashion. Tjr MAS BARNES will become the proud owner of a large Packard Plant but, of course, will be doing a little political work on the side. DORIS DIXON will be eagerly taking dictation from Webster Incorporated in Deals Island. Of course, she will be Mrs. Webster. 50 RALPH BROWN will become a famous writer of book reviews, since he has read every book in the Congressional Library. In 1950, JEAN DOWNING will graduate from some girls’ college and will settle down in the heart of Shad Point. The conductor’s baton is lowered, the curtain rises, and BILL COLLINS, blasting loudly on his bass horn, steps proudly to the platform. CATHERINE JONES will smile as she erases an error in her letter before taking it in for her boss’s signature. HARVEY DERBY will become one of the important men at the Glen L. Martin plant, because of the part he played in the P. D. Play. MARGARET MATTHEWS, with her blushing w’ays, will set some young man’s heart afire. (Any similarity to the above named and Russ Harshman is purely coin¬ cidental ). WILLETT DERBY will replace Nelson Eddy and Lawrence Tibbett as the “Idol of the Airways”. IRENE MILLIKEN will become a famous pianist until her Ben gets out of the Army. DAVID DULANY will become a Senator from Maryland and will bring real honor to his old Alma Mater. FANNIE MUMFORD will still be chewing on that piece of chewing gum and will ever be ready to argue because we didn’t have Homer Kelley’s orchestra for the prom. Our hats are off to the Navy! And we salute LAWRENCE GELLNER, the first Admiral from Maryland. MARY JANE RICHARDSON will still have that heart throb in the Naval Acade¬ my, and she will soon move to Washington, where she can be with him more often. All American Basketball Star ARCHIE HILL will win fame and fortune with his athletic ability, but he will eventually return to the Good Old Eastern Shore, where he can “Keep Up With Th ' e Jonses!” NORMA JEAN SHORT will be dependable and cooperative in any profession she may pursue. JOHN LANDING will own a large bean farm, where he can relax and talk a little, since he seldom got to say much in school. PEGGY GENE SMITH will follow in her mother’s footsteps and become a fine tele¬ phone operator, until she becomes the Gibson Girl of 1955. BILLY MURPHY will take off where Miss Gordy leaves off and will be teaching our children the Law of Economics. FLOSSY SPRY will settle down with her Stanton, and will become the ideal wife. RICHARD TAWES will return to his native Panama, where he will settle down with his little Mimi. Betty Taylor will make her home in Fruitland, where she will have an intensive in¬ terest in the Dulany Corporation. JEAN TAYLOR will steal the hearts of all the Salisbury business men. LEON TAYLOR will be a second Bob Hope, since his jokes in class will enable him to become a great comedian. JEAN TINGLE will still be truthful and faithful to her Melvin and before many moons will settle down with him in Baltimore. BETTY WILSON will become a teacher at W. H. S. and will tell all her pupils how she acted when she was a Senior in 1942. HILDA WHITWORTH will become as good as Gene Krupa on the drums, and will organize her own swing band. BARBARA WHIPPLE will be a famous artist, and we will be seeing her fine pieces of art in the Galleries of Washington. 51 ACTIVITIES History of the Junior Class Came September, 1939, and a group of 175 timid boys and girls entered Wicomico High School as freshmen. After a week or two of hastily scurry¬ ing around the school in search of certain rooms and always finding the wrong stairway, the timid little “freshies” began to start their four years of high school work. Important athletic prominence came to these fiesh- men when Jean Croswell, Jane Wulf, Margaret Vanderbogart, and Mary Wright Silvey became the champion 220-yard relay team of the Eastern Shore. The year wore on; and soon, much to everyone’s surprise, the first and hazardous year of high school was completed. In 1940, after a restful summer vacation, the freshmen found them¬ selves sophisticated sophomores. They came to school in an entirely different way this time — they were much more grown-up. These people walked around proudly and erectly. They distinguished themselves throughout the year as outstanding athletes. The same girls’ quartet won the championship of Wicomico county in the 220-yard-relay-team event. Also these sophomores were a great help in making the operetta, the “Mikado,” a great success. This year many distinguished students were elected to the Student Council. They were Mary Jane Johnson, second vice-president; Betty Jane Brittingham, third vice-president; Jane Wulf, secretary. This year, too, soon closed, and the sophomores retired for a much-welcomed summer vacation. This summer soon passed, and the third year of high school began for these young Americans. With thoughts of swimming, fun, and sports, they settled down to an eventful year. ' Hie Junior Class Play, “One Mad Night,” directed by Mrs. Long, was presented December 19, 1941. The characters were Billy Lewis Shockley, Mac Williams, Betty Ann Gordy, Ellin Early, Franklin Moore, Joanne Long, Lee Jenkins, Rodney Austin, Jean Owens, Helen Barr, Mary Wright Silvey, Joyce Webster, Richard Greene, and Billy Benjamin. This comedy proved a great success and was said to be one of the best Junior Class plays ever presented. Then came the Junior-Senior Banquet, and the hearts of the Juniors thrilled when they pledged themselves to be the most successful Senior Class ever to be in W. H. S. Rodney Austin, Historian Betty Jane Brittingham EG Glee Club Once again laurels have crowned the efforts of the oldest and only continuous organization of W. H. S. The Glee Club under the direction of Mrs. Gordon Bennett and with members from the three upper classes has completed one of the most successful years of its history. Early in the year it was awarded plaudits for its participation in assembly programs and P. T. A. entertainments, especially its experiments in acapella singing. Climaxing its year of entertainment was its annual operetta which it produces in collaboration with the Art Department and tne Dramatic Club. “The Belle of Bagdad” under the direction of Mrs. Bennett and Miss Eleanor Davis was well received and justly deserved such recognition after the colossal effort put forth to create tne production. Colorful scenery and elaborate costuming furnished a picturesque background for the enter¬ taining musical score and expert acting ability. To round off an already successful year, the Glee Club lent its voices in honor of the graduating class at Commencement. The officers of the W. H. S. Glee Club are: President, Ann Adkins; vice-president, Marie Smith; secretary, Jane Hughes; librarians, Joyce Webster and Doris Moore; and reporter for school paper, Henrietta Jones. The members are: Girls—Ann Adkins, Betsy Allen, Helen Barr, Myrtle Beets, Anne Brewington, Eleanor Jean Brown, Iris Chatham, Helen Cooper, Doris Dixon, Ruth Hastings, Marian Holland, Jane Hughes, Henrietta Jones, Joanne Little, Doris Moore, Vivian Mumford, Jean Owens, Priscilla Phillips, Mattie Lee Rayne, Mary Wright Silvey, Joyce Webster, Dorothy Jean Wells, Jane White, Ruth Williams, and Betty Wilson. Boys—David Blackwell, Robert Doepp, Harvey Derby, Willet Derby, Joe Lynch, Harold Staub, William Wainwright, and Mac Williams. Pianists—Jane White and Mac Williams. 57 Dramatic Club •1 Our Dramatic Club, the Tomahawks, was for the first time opened to all classes of the school this year. This was a fine accomplishment, for it helps to prepare the underclassmen in the field of dramatics for the later years of their high school career. The juniors and seniors, however, have the advantages in the offices of president and vice-president. For the year 1941-42 the following members were selected as the club’s officers: Jimmie Turner, president; Mary Jane Clark, vice-president; Betty Wilson, secretary; Adeline Hopkins, treasurer; and Anne Brewington, club reporter. A constitution was drawn up to aid future members of this organiza¬ tion. It states where, when, and how often the club will meet and who are eligible for officers and provides other important information pertaining to the functions of the club. Mr. Frank P. Mitchell, our faculty adviser and friend, has made the club very interesting for each of its members. With his help the club has had a student assembly play for Christmas, the annual “All School Night” play, and a “Tomahawk” dance; it has furnished various committees for the junior and senior plays and the operetta. Pins for the club were obtained to show to all that the wearer was part of the successful dramatic organization of the years 1941-42. 58 Student Council The officers for the year were Robert Venables, president; Charles Loyd, Mary Jane Johnson, and Betty Jane Brittingham, vice-presidents; Jane Wulf, secretary. The committees and their chairmen were as follows: Assembly, Mary Jane Johnson; Social, Betty Jane Brittingham; Monitor, Charles Loyd; New Suggestions, David Dulany; Welcoming New Students, Betty Bailey; Bulletin Board, Bill Porter; Advertising, Jack Perry. The Council has carried on the type of work done in previous years. Assemblies on various phases of school work have been presented, and dances and parties have been held for the students. Betty Bailey and her committee have looked after new students, while the bulletin board group has seen to it that notices of school activities were posted in prominent places. All-School Night was probably the biggest thing the Student Council sponsored this year. It was held on April 24. Each department in the school was represented in the exhibits displayed in various parts of the building. The highlight of the evening was the program given in the auditorium, featuring an old-fashioned “Melodrammer,” songs, and an exhibition of gymnastic skill. 59 THE JUNIOR RED CROSS The Junior Red Cross of 1941-42 was under the supervision of Miss Minerva Z. Messenger. There has been no scarcity of activities this year. The officers for the 1841-42 season were as follows: President, Letty Marie Taylor; Vice-President, Rosalie Calloway; Secretary, Ruth Hastings; Treasurer, Doris Mills, and Roll Call Chairman, Lee Jenkins. They accepted the project of filling the minimum of twenty-five kits, which were to be sent to soldier camps. These kits contained shaving cream, comb, tooth brush, and other small necessities. During Roll Call Week $37.40 was collected in the home rooms. Five dollars of this sum was spent for the membership of W.H.S. A sum of live dollars was given to the Pine Bluff Sanitorium. There was also a collection for the War Relief Fund. Collections of tin foil, used stamps, wool scraps, old razor blades, an d empty tooth paste tubes have been made. Defense stamps have been sold before and after school since the latter part of November. Each member had the privilege of attending a costume dance on March 20. A play given in the auditorium showed the things the people can do to aid in the Junior Red Cross. A meeting is held every other week in the school. Different schools are represented at the monthly meeting held at the Post Office. • THE K AM ERA KLUB The Kamera Klub is one of the newly formed organizations of Wi-Hi. Ittias been operating approximately a year under the guiding hand of Mr. D. B. Howard, faculty adviser. Ten members of our student body make up the club. Among these ten, three outstanding members have been chosen as the leaders of the group. They are: David Reaves, who claims the title of president; Joe Wimbro w, who has gained the rank of vice- president; and Mildred Bailey, who handles the double task of secretary and treasurer very efficiently. The members have been very active this year in keeping our bulletin boards a thing of interest with their displays, and much credit should also be given to these photographically inclined fellow students for their very interesting exhibition on All School Night. We must not forget their con¬ tribution to a successful Senior Prom, as their worthy vice-president was there with his flash bulb and camera. We of the graduating class hope that many of the lower classmen will interest themselves in this new club next year. THE LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club was organized in October, 1940. The purpose of the club is threefold; first to give vocational training to the students; second, to train pupils in the use of the library; third, to provide a clerical staff to perform the routine work in the library. The club meets on alternate Wednesday mornings. Membership is open to juniors and seniors with character, scholarship, and personality. The school recognizes the importance of the club, and students with the consent of the principal may substitute club work for a special subject. After two years of development there has been a definite improvement in the use and popularity of the library. The students belonging to the club act as assistant librarians during class periods. Among their duties are: charging, slipping, and shelving books; reading shelves; pasting, canceling, and filing borrowers’ cards; filing overdue notices; and mending books. The Library Club has been a great success and aid to the school. It is hoped that it will be continued. 60 Wi-Hi News In 1937 the school paper, the “Wi-Hi News,” was founded. Since then the paper has naturally changed slightly until now a somewhat standard appearance and size have developed. Each issue, appearing once every two weeks, has four pages. Elimination of most of the undesirable “dirt” columns has been accomplished, and a well-balanced type of news is printed. Appearing are club news, sports news, news of important school social affairs, assembly news, humorous columns, editorials, and reports of Student Council suggestions. The average student does not realize the work, time, and effort that are spent by the staff members, typists, and the faculty advisers before the “Wi-Hi News” can be read by the students. All of them deserve much credit, and thanks, and cooperation. The present staff, composed of Editor, Orland Langrall; Associate Editor, Charlotte White; Assistant Editors, Anne Brewington and Edward Lord; Advertising Manager, Mildred Bailey; Business Manager, Cecil Stout ; News Editor, Jimmie Turner, and the many other reporters and editors sincerely wish success to the “Wi-Hi News” staffs of the future. 61 62 i - — W.H.S. Boy’s Band WICOMICO HIGH SCHOOL BOYS’ BAND In February, 1937, the Wicomico High School Boys’ Band was organ¬ ized and has since then been carried on only by generous contributions from the city’s citizens. The idea behind the formation of the band was for Salisbury to have a band to play in the park during the summer season. The problem of getting the organization sufficient members, admin¬ istering musical education, and keeping things running smoothly was given to Professor H. B. Marston, or as the members of the band know him — “Chief.” Only by alertness, perseverance, and eternal patience has “Chief” been able to keep the band going. It is well known to all who are familiar with the band that Mr. Marston is the life and moving spirit of that fine organization. The success of the band and the name they have given the school are well known to all. The most outstanding accomplishments were to receive an A-l rating among Maryland high school bands for two consecutive years, to play successful concerts every summer in the park, and to play for nearly all civic activities and football games. The band is one of the finest extra-curricular activities in the school, and it has brought fame and credit to the school and to Salisbury. Even though this year the band will lose, as it has every year previously, many members, we are confident that “Chief” will somewhere find someone to fill the places of the missing ones. We who are graduating will never forget the musical guidance we have received or the way in which “Chief” tried to help us grow mentally, musically, and morally. We always will have a warm spot in our hearts for “Chief” and the boys. The Senior Class of 1942 sincerely wishes Mr. Marston continued success in the coming years. THE HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club, although first organized in March, 1941, did not develop as much that year as it has done in 1942. The purposes of the club are many. This organization is to promote interest in the art of homemaking and to give students a means to increase their knowledge in homemaking subjects not included in the regular course. The club is also to act as a functional part of the school program by assist¬ ing in making costumes and aiding in promoting a closer feeling between teachers and home economics students through social activities. The Home Economics Club has had many projects. Last year its members made wigs for the operetta. Two teas have been given for teachers — one last May and one last Christmas. The members have also made dresses for English children, and an afghan for the soldiers is now underway. The members have been on a number of hikes and picnics in the park. The faculty adviser of the club is Miss Cochrane, and the officers are as follows: President, Charlotte White; Vice-President, Esther Holloway; Secretary and Treasurer, Jane McCready; Reporter, Eva Stein. Other members of the club are Anne Brewington, Betsy Clark, Belva Hastings, Mary Jane Johnson, Frances Maddox, Doris Smith, Irma Mason, Martha Jane White, and Ruth Rider. 63 VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE The Vocational Agriculture course deals with the crops, poultry, and livestock in Wicomico County. The Agriculture Department has a Farm Shop in which special instructions and practices are given the students. Each boy is required to have a project, such as raising a crop, poultry, or livestock according to the best methods. The profits from this project are to be used to start a personal savings account. Each boy is able to take part in county and state judging contests, and the winners in judging farm products and livestock receive cash awards. A baseball team plays other agriculture departments in nearby counties. During the summer those boys who have time and money can go to Future Farmers of America State Camp, which meets at different places in the state each year. 64 SOCCER -Seasonal W.H.S.

There were a great many students interested in playing basketball; so Miss Messenger divided the senior, junior, sophomore, and fresnma girls and made four leagues. There were several teams in each league. It was our object to play all the teams in our own league and in the finals to play the winners of the other three leagues . The teams were as follows: SENIOR LEAGUE REDS — Winners WHITES BLUES Eleanor Brown Maureen Engel Doris Malone Priscilla Phillips-M Margaret Smith Martha Whayland Doris Dixon Mildred Bailey Catherine Jones Marie Meise-M Marie Smith Norma J.
