RICHARD PAUL SCHALLON October 11, 1926 “Dicky” is another of the Salisbury sons. Through¬ out high school “Dicky” has been active in sports, such as softball and soccer. Then, too, in his last year, he was elected vice president of his home room. All of us will remember “Dicky” by his jolly disposition. After school he plans to attend a Naval Training School. MARY WRIGHT SILVEY August 31, 1926 “Bozie” also comes from Salisbury. Her four years have been active. She has been in the Glee Club, Mon¬ itor Club and the Dramatic Club; has served as vice president of the Junior and Senior classes, as a re¬ porter, and advertising manager of the newspaper; did a good job in the operettas, intramural sports and class plays. Next year Mary Wright hopes to go to college—where, she doesn’t know. We are sure, how¬ ever, that with her friendliness and efficiency, she will succeed anywhere. BILLY LEWIS SHOCKLEY April 12, 1926 Billy, bom in Salisbury, is now, however a famous member of our “Parsonsburg gang”. “Shorty” took part in many plays at school, having the lead in the Junior Class Play. He was also interested in the Glee Club. When our school started air-raid drills, he be¬ came a warden. His plans include college, and after¬ wards he hopes to specialize in surgery.

He played baseball with the Future Farmers of America in his last two years at high school, and has served as sec¬ retary and reporter for the same organization in his second and fourth years, respectively. His future is still undecided. He leaves behind a somewhat rare characteristic—timidity with girls. DORIS ELIZABETH SMITH May 2, 1926 “Dot” is a native Salisburian. She held offices in the Camera Club, Home Ec. Club and one in her home room. Eagerly she participated in intramural basket¬ ball and fieldball, and in the field meet. “Dot” hopes to become a nurse. She leaves behind to someone some of that quiet and persuasive manner she used to capture so many soldiers, sailors, etc., with. 28

I DOROTHY LUCILLE PURNELL January 19. 1926 “Dot” was bom in Salisbury. She was on the field- ball and volleyball teams. She is a member of the Senior Commercial Club and plans to be a stenogra¬ pher. We can’t recollect “Dot” without recalling “Joe”, too. FREDERICK CHARLES RAU, JR. June 19, 1925 “Charlie” was born in Easton, but has been a faith¬ ful Salisburian for many years. He was in the band his first year, and in a few plays. As a senior, he was an active air raid warden. “Charlie” wants to enter the Navy or Marine Air Corps. We are sure he will be deluded with fan mail. MATTIE w LEE RAYNE February 12, 1926 Mattie Lee is another daughter of Salisbury. In high school Mattie has served as secretary to the Glee Club, reporter to the Wi-Hi News, monitor, member of the operetta, Dramatic Club, and intramural sports.

As a Red Cross representative and treasurer of her home room, she served efficiently. In her fourth year, she became a monitor and member of the Victory Corps and Commercial Club. We all think that “Smit¬ ty” will get her desired position—in the office at du Pont’s. MARION K. SMITH, JR. September 30, 1926 Marion was bom in Salisbury, too. After gradua¬ tion “Smitty” plans to join the Navy and we are sure he will make quite a handsome “gob.” Maybe the Navy will make him not so shy. It usually does! WILLIAM W.

He has participated in track events, intramural basket¬ ball, and football. Upon graduation, he intends to join the Navy Air Corps. Won’t we all remember him by his amazing speed on the track?
