HELEN MARGARET BARR February 17, 1925 Helen comes all the way from Detroit, Michigan. At any gathering, “Barr” is always the life of it. Yes, “Barr” can sing, dance, and talk. And in all, she is a pretty good pal. Helen plans to be an airline hostess or maybe a nurse. “Barr” leaves to some unfortunate soul that newly-created habit—lateness to class. MARY ALICE BAYSINGER March 14, 1926 Mary Alice is another Salisburian who spends her time watching the ways of others about her. She likes athletics, but seldom participates in them.

After high school and perhaps college, Mary wants to be a commercial artist. With her flare for design and color, we’re sure she’ll be a success. ROBERT HAMILTON BEERS March 10, 1925 “Bob” was bom in Salisbury like many of his class. “Bob” is the pride and joy of home room No. 28; so tall, so dark, and so—oh, well. There are few activities which he has taken part in, but he has been very earn¬ est when he has decided to tackle any one of them. He plans for the future look dim for some of the girls as “Bob” wants to be a bachelor and work on air¬ craft. Well, girls, what do you think ? He is remem¬ bered by his willingness to help and his quiet manner. FRED WILLIAM BERTELS May 19, 1925 “Fritz” came from Woodbury, New Jersey to W. H. S. in his senior year.

MARY LOUISE ADKINS January 9, 1927 Louise was born near Wango, Maryland. No one ever hears Louise say much and she is never in any of the clubs. There is, however, something about Louise that makes her outstanding. Whenever anyone needs any special work done or any tickets sold, he can al¬ ways depend on Louise. All her patience and intellig¬ ence should make Louise a successful nurse. RODNEY ELMER AUSTIN October 3, 1926 Rodney was born in Mardela Springs, Maryland. Al¬ though he seldom participates in sports, he is rather active in other school activities. Rodney seems to have a rather quiet manner, but is very well liked by every¬ one. His pleasing way will help him in his career as any army officer. FLORENCE LORRAINE AYERS March 30, 1927 “Florry” is a quite little damsel from Union City, New Jersey. Florence has very little to do with the clubs of the school, but has participated in field meets. Her past record points to a successful career as a stenographer. ' “Florry” will always be remembered by her kindness. MARY BELLE BAILEY October 22, 1942 Mary Belle hails from the little town of Quantico, Maryland.

THOMAS CHARLES BAILEY January 12, 1926 “Fish”, as he is sometimes called by his friends, is from Salisbury. Although “Tommy” plays little part in activities of student body or home room, he has proven himself quite an athlete. “Fish” has spent most of his time playing basketball, baseball, football and othe r sports. In the future, he will drop athletics and the Marines will receive an able-bodied “man” named The mas “Fish” Bailey who hopes to get a crack at the Axis.

The school’s appreciation was shown in her election as President of the Student Council, the highest honor anyone in school can receive, and as News Editor of the Wi-Hi News.
