ALICE BEATRICE TAYLOR April 17, 1927 “Peaches” hails from Parsonsburg, Maryland. She is remembered by her shortness of stature and her sweet disposition. She has held no outstanding posi¬ tions but did her part in all things. “Peaches” hasn’t made up her mind yet but her future is revolving around nui sing or secretarial work. EDNA EMILYNE TAYLOR August 11, 1925 “Em” hails from Quantico, Maryland. Her services as a Red Cross representative and as a monitor in her senior year are included in her activities. Intramural sports found her a faithful pursuer—basketball, volley¬ ball and fieldball. She hopes to become either a nurse or a secretary. She is remembered by her kindliness and gentleness to all. RALPH JACSKON TAYLOR August 6, 1925 “Slick”, of course, is from Salisbury. He featured in baseball and various field day events. As to clubs, he was an active member in both the F. F. A. and Mon¬ itors Club. When various war time changes were made in our school he joined the Victory Corps and became an air raid warden and joined the Aeronautics Classs. As long as we all can remember he has de¬ sired to be a pilot and aims at the Army Air Corps. “Slick” leaves to some bachelor his smoothness in getting along with the women at W. H. S. RUTH CAROLYN TILGHMAN November 30, 1925 Carolyn, too, is a native Salisburian. She has taken part in many activities but the most outstanding is her Glee Club work. Carolyn hopes to become engaged in beautician work. We all remember her splendid spirit of cooperation in all things. BASIL EUGENE TRUITT June 5, 1925 Basil is a “foreigner” from Snow Hill. He carried many positions in his home room. However, he also played an important part in the F. F. A. In sports he played soccer and baseball. Basil, too, is very pa¬ triotic—he was an air-raid warden, member of the Victory Corps and Forest Fire Fighter Service. His future is wrapped up in farm work, he hopes. As a symbol of all-out school spirit we leave the memory of Basil. 30

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. SMULLEN November 2, 1923 Bom in Salisbury, William has acquired the reputa¬ tion of being one of the fastest runners in our class. 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? EVELYN STEWART September 14, 1925 “Evie” came to this high school from West Boylston, Massachusetts. She loves music and entered the Glee Club immediately. In her last year, she efficiently served as a monitor. She has only one thing in mind —to be a bookkeeper. She is remembered by her sweet singing of popular tunes.

To some lucky underclassman “Dot” bestows her ath¬ letic ability. MARGARET FRANCES TRUITT April 20, 1925 “Peggy”, another native of Salisbury, has held many home room olfices. During her sophomore year she played intramural fieldball and basketball. Like many other seniors, “Peggy” has been a monitor. At the present time “Peggy” is undecided about what to do when she gets her “sheepskin”, but I am sure she will make good anywhere wtih those dimples and that sweet smile. ✓ MARION EDWARD TYNDALL February 9, 1926 “Ted” is of course, from Salisbury. His activities were confined to the Victory Corps, Forest Fire Fight¬ ers Service, and the Monitors Club. His desire is to join the Naval or Army Air Corps.
