uicomico scnioft high school SflLISBUfiy, mffiMD Presenting Our Source of Pride Being the first senior class to graduate from this school, we feel that it is an opportune time to dedi¬ cate the Tom Tom to the new Wi¬ comico Senior High School. We have enjoyed our year, serving as leaders where everything was new to everyone and realizing that what we accomplished and the examples we set would affect the many school years to come. The Class of 195 5 is proud that Wicomico County has furnished its pupils with one of the most modern schools in the country. All of us have tried to preserve the attractiveness which has made the school year a pleasant one. It is our wish that all the future graduates will feel, as we do, that Wicomico Senior High School is a wonderful Alma Mater. Page 3 . . . Administration Page 11 . . Page 39 . . Page 51 . .

Surely it must be a dream. We haven’t graduated from high school already. Why, it seems like yesterday that we eagerly, but nervously, sat in that large auditorium hearing our names being called as we were assigned to our first high school homerooms. Remember that feeling when you saw that you and your best friend were going to be separated? In no time, however, you had made other friends who mutually shared your fear and excitement. And how about the many times you were late for class because you couldn ' t remember your schedule or you were just roaming around the halls looking for room 17 on the first floor when it was really on the second. Those were the days! But itdidn ' t take us long to get used to things. Soon we became adjusted to high school life and were serving on the Student Council, participating in intramural sports, and taking part in various clubs. Our class gained recognition when one of its members, Patsy Taylor, won the privilege to go to Washington as a contestant in the National Spelling Bee. We were all very proud of her. With the coming of spring, we elected our first atten- dants for the May court. They were: Jean Morris, Maxine Wells, and Barbara Testa. In a short time our first year of high school had ended, and we eagerly awaited September when we would no longer be those cute, little eighth graders . When we returned to school in the fall of 1951, we finally felt like a part of the school. At last there was a grade lower than ours. During our freshman year, we enjoyed more assemblies with the upper classes; and also we hadour first class dance, the Freshman Frolic , which was a great success. In February our class chose Nancy Deputy as its candidate for queen of the Winter Carnival. As we participated in our first Student Council election, we selected Bill Walston as secretary-treas¬ urer of the organization. Later on in the spring, we again were represented on the May court, this time by Nancy Deputy, Ellen Jo Sterling, and Barbara Testa. As sophomores, we were given more responsibilities and took a more active part in school affairs. The traditional Sophomore Sweater Hop proved to be great fun for all of us. Elected by our class that year to represent it on the Winter Carnival court was Edna Giordano. Later our attendants on the May court were Edna Giordano, Nancy Deputy, Connie Mears, and Faye Barnett. Soon after May Day, a heated Student Council election campaign was held, which resulted in the election of Bill Walston as 2nd vice-president of the Student Council for the following year and Nancy Deputy as 3rd vice-president. When we began our junior year in 1953, many of us had begun to realize how many of our high school days had passed and how little remained. However, we had very little time to think about it due to the busy schedule we had before us. The first effort to really organize our class was with the selection of class officers. Those elected were: Bill Walston, president; Morris Jones, vice-president; Bob Berger, secretary; and Phil Insley, treasurer. Once again in February, the annual Winter Carnival took place with the junior candidate for the queen being Ellen Jo Sterling. Not long after the Win¬ ter Carnival came the Junior Dance, our last class get-together be fore the long-awaited senior prom. Attending the May queen that year from the junior class were Edna Giordano, Rose Marie Abbott, and Nancy Deputy. In mid-May, our class presented its first production, Death Takes a Holiday , under the direction of Mr. Clifton Hope. Student Council elections again were held, and that year we were even more interested, for from our class would come the new president and vice- president. The victors in this election were Bill Walston, president; and Bob Berger, 1st vice-president. One of our most enjoyable years in high school ended with the Junior-Senior Banquet which we gave to the seniors of ’54. At this banquet, in addition to bidding farewell to the graduates, we also bade a reluctant good-bye to WicomicoHigh School. It wasdefinite at that time that as seniors, we would attend the new Wicomico Senior High School. Whew! We made it at last. Seniors! How proud we all were, not only of being the top grade in the school, but of our beautiful, new school. At first we had trouble getting used to the building, but in a short time we wouldn’t have traded it for the world. Immediately our classofficers were chosen. They were: president, Quint Parsons; vice-president, Bruce Connor; secretary, Con¬ nie Mears; treasurer, Alice Anne Sweigert; and historian, Barbara Testa. Work on the yearbook and the Wi-Hi News had to begin at once, so staffs for each were selected. Elected editor-in-chief of the yearbook staff was Jayne Shivers. She was ably assisted by Carole Sue Jones, associate editor; Ellen Jo Sterling, assistant-associate editor; Bob Berger, business manager; and Joe Hardiman, advertising manager. The Wi-Hi News wasedited by Barbara Testa and the two associate editors, Alice Ann Sweigert and Carole Sue Jones. As soon as these elections were completed and every one had settled down to the nor¬ mal routine of going to school, the class rings arrived. Alas, no settling down! Then came the Senior Class Play, Good-Bye, My Fancy , again directed by Mr. Hope. After Christmas the many activities resumed, and everyone was busy again. The Winter Carnival arrived; and Faye Barnett, the seniors’ candidate for the queen, reigned over the annual winter festival. Following the Winter Carnival came a long series of unforgettable experiences: including the arrival of name cards, ordering of announcements, May Day, preparing for the Prom (and at long-last attending that memorable affair), the Junior-Senior Banquet, senior award presentations, Baccalaureate, and finally, Commencement. Again we say, How can time pass so quickly? Al¬ though it is so hard for us to realize that we have graduated from high school, we can easily realize that the numerous benefits we received from those five years will remain with us throughout our lives.

The Senior Class scored a hit in their presentation of the play Goodbye, My Fancy , a romantic comedy in three acts by Fay Mitchell Kanin. Under the superb direction of Mr. Clifton Hope, a commend¬ able performance was acclaimed by all. The play centers around a Congress- woman, Agatha Reed, (Carole Sue Jones) who returns to her alma mater for an honorary degree. She finds that Dr. James Merrill, (Charles Mulford) the spineless president, isn ' t the same outspoken college professor with whom she had been in love for so many years. Through the turn of events she realizes that she should accept the six-year standing proposal of, Matt Cole, a war photographer (Bob Pusey) with whom she had braved many war ex¬ periences. Miss Reed, accompanied by her witty secretary, Grace Woods(Martha Parker), is taken through an eventful week-end at the college. The play couldn’t have been a success without the cooperation of the various committees.

Ambitious couples jitterbug to the peppy music of the Metronones at the party after the prom. Seniors Attend Baccalaureate Service The sermon to the graduates was delivered by the Rt. Rev. Monsignor Eugene Stout, Sunday evening, May 28, in the junior high school auditorium. Father Stout warned the young graduates that they were facing a cruel, cold world. He recommended that they should always be charitable to their fellow- man and patriotic to their country. He admonished them to seek first the Kingdom of God; for in doing this, they would attain peace of mind, which is more important than all the success in the world. Dr. Slaybaugh Presents Commencement Address Dr. J. Paul Slaybaugh, president of Wesley Junior College, Dover, Delaware, presented the address at the Commencement Exercises in the junior high school auditorium on June 3. He spoke in a humorous but serious vein, touching on the old days when he recalled the two-room school from which he was graduated, wearing a $12 suit and a $1.60 pair of shoes and later taking the best girl home with a right good horse but pretty old buggy. To the graduates he offered these Guideposts to Success”; Know yourself; believe in yourself; be master of yourself; have a philosophy; hold fast to your ideals; be a thorough-bred; have courage; have a purpose; continue your education, but don ' t confuse schooling with education; have a big heart; and have faith in others. He urged them to count their bless¬ ings, to play to win, and to have a religion if they would reach the top of the mountain. Besides the pr e se n t at ion of diplomas and the announcement of senior awards, the Wicomico Sr. High Glee Club, under the direction of Mrs. Donald Malone, sang the Scott arrangement of ThisIs My Country. They were accompanied by Philip Betts, who also played the processional music. The Rev. R. Gordon Given, pastor of the Quantico Methodist Charge, gave the invocation and benedic¬ tion. The Rt. Rev. Monsignor Eugene Stout gave the sermon to the graduates. 181 Graduates Face the Future The Commencement Exercises marked the last time the Class of 55 would all be together. As the graduates sang the ALMA MATER at the close of the program, they realized that the group would soon be climbing the mountains in view , each in his own way. The diploma me a ns only that they have reached the foothills ; now they can and must in¬ telligently face the future. President of the Senior Class Quint Parsons receives his diploma from Mr. Robert Sterling, mem¬ ber of the Wicomico County Board of Education. Mr. Sterling had told the graduates, using the Class Song, that there will be storms; but walk on, walk on, with dreams in your heart. Jim Kenney, Class Orator, welcomed the audience to the 1955 Graduating Exer¬ cises with the theme of the Class Motto. We are deeply and seriously conscious of all that has been done for us, of the tools of learning that have been placed in our hands, of the associations that have been permitted us, all the privileges that have been ours. 47 Wi-Hiwas represented by eight of these nine seniors at the New York Herald Tribune Forum in New York City.

Making his debut as soccer coach, Ernie Cullen and his Wi-Hi-soccer Indians reg¬ istered an interesting 5 and 5 won and loss log. Starting slowly because of inexperience, they dropped their first two contests. A mid-season bur st was marredby a late sea¬ son slump when the tribe faltered and lost their last two contests. Norman Webster led the scorers with 8 points, followed by Pete Reddish with 7, and Bruce Connor with 6.

Our Team Was Red Hot! The football season was an interesting one which provided a good deal of entertainment for local pigskin fans. The only big walloping came when Wi-Hi ' s Indians went to West¬ minster without their scalping knives and bit the dust 38 to 14. The other loss was to Bel Air 27 to 24 on extra point conversions. The hurricane caused cancellation of the Milford contest which would have been one of the year ' s highlights. At the time of the game, both teams were unbeaten. Wi-Hi kept up a terrific ground attack to pound Seaford into sub¬ mission 21 to 0. Charlotte Hall offered little opposition and lost 34 to 0 . Bill Walston scored two touchdowns as Wi-Hi triumphed 42 to 7 over Dover here. Wi-Hi topped Cambridge in the season finale 34 to 7. We were given a more bitter game than the score indicates, however. Seniors playing their final game were: Bob Pusey, Bob Rayner, Jack Causey, Bill Walston, Blane Bailey, Jack Messick, Cecil Jones, Jim Campbell, Eurshall Miller, Don Mariner, Perry Groce, and Norman Holloway. Wi-Hi had an extra point kicker Su¬ preme in sophomore Tommy Focht. The 180-pound tackle batted 22 out of 30. The coaching staff was headed by Char¬ lie Berry. Assistants were Denver Knapp, backfield, and Floyd Rabuck, line. TEAM CAPTAINS: and Blane Bailey. Bob Pusey Ready! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! Bill Walston calls a punt that leads to another Wi- Hi TD.

Wi-Hi Cagers Complete Successful Season “Go Indians, Go!” Overwhelmed by that old jinx which seems to haunt the teepees of the Wi-Hi basketball Indians whenever they get with¬ in hitting distance of the state champion¬ ship, the team bowed in the state semi¬ finals. However, the overall season pre¬ sents a successful 10-7 record. Freshman tutor Denver Knapp started with a young club that wasn ' t figured to be too dangerous , but the team developed; and after a slow start, they were really red hot. Coach Knapp used the fast break, a type of play new to the Indians, and one that proved exciting to watch. Wicomico split even with its traditional rival, Cambridge, first losing 45-59, but winning the second 62-30. Norman Webster was the season ' s high scorer with 239 points in 16 games. Flea Phillips was runner-up with 119 points. Morris Jones, who was idled part of the season with a broken elbow, followed with 116 markers. NOW THIS PLAY, GIRLS— Coach Mary Morling Troy points out a play to the starting line -up. The Score Goes Up Another Notch READY! AIM! FIRE! Barbara Phipps, Cap¬ tain, gets ready to shoot a two-hand set shot. Coached by Miss Mary Morling Troy, the Wi-Hi lassieshad a successful season of 8 wins and 4 losses. Jane Schiller led the scoring parade with 239 points; followed by Barbara Phipps, team captain, with 179 points; Elaine Trice with 72; Carolyn Dennis with 36, and Joanne Longfellow with 21. Not to be oyerlooked was the outstand ing defensive play of the guards, Nancy Christensen, Elaine Owens, Joanne Alexander, Georgia Nock, and Rose Marie Abbott. The managers were Jean Morris, Carolie Valliant, Patsy Bailey, and Janet Lee Williams. Two games were played with each of the follow¬ ing schools: Mardela, Stephen Decatur, Easton, Laurel, Cambridge, and Seaford. One of the big thrills of the season was winning the first game in the new gymnasium on January 18 against Mardela. Three seniors, Rose Marie Abbott, Rosalee Lynch, and Barbara Phipps, wish best of luck to next year ' s team.

The team played two games each with North Dorchester, Cambridge, Easton, Stephen Decatur, and Mardela. Receiving letters this year were Peggy Hitchens, Dorothy Hopkins, Susan Hughes, Flo Kelley, Ann Moore, Barbara Phipps, Sandra Polk, Jane Schiller, and Elaine Trice. The unsung heroes were the managers, Janet Lee Williams and Lucille Jones. Coach Mary Morling Troy introduced something new this year when a volleyball sports ' day was held in the gym. It was held May 18 with four schools, North Dor¬ chester, Princess Anne, Stephen Decatur, and Wi-Hi, represented by three teams each--one from the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades respectively. There were 110 students who actually participated in the games, and the officiating was donebymembersofWi-Hi ' s Sports Club and varsity volleyball team. The sports ' day was quite a success and was enjoyed by all. Wishing good luck to next year’s team are the fol¬ lowing seniors: Susan Hughes, Flo Kelley, and Barbara Phipps.

They finished the season undefeated, repeated their win in the Eastern Shore Track Tournament, and finished third in the state-wide meet. Since a full team was not entered in the meet, it was a most respect¬ able mark and the best Wi-Hi had ever done at College Park. Bill Walston stood out as the outstanding performer for the season. Hesetthe broad jump, discus, 100-yard dash records, and took part in the mile relay record. At the state tournament, he set records in the 100- yard dash and broad jump. His dash mark of 10 seconds flat bettered the old record of 10.1, and he jumped 21 feet, 4 1 4 inches to snap the old record of 21 feet, 2 1 4 inches. The mile relay team of Don Long, Phil Gordy, Don Fooks, and Morris Jones set the state mark with a blistering mark of 1:33.9, eclipsing the old mark by three seconds. Wicomico won the Eastern Shore track meet doubling the score of the nearest rival. The thinclads opened the season by defeating Milford 52 to 48. A triangular meet gave Wicomico 48. Dover 44, and Seaford 37. Next the thinclads reeled off the Eastern Shore Championship. Thirteen schools were entered, but Wicomico’s 59 points were twice as high as Centerville’s 25 1 2. Wi-Hi scored another victory in the Tri-State meet from Caesar Rodney and Seaford. They had 46 1 2 to 44 for Seaford and 39 for Rodney. They closed the regular season by de¬ feating North Dorchester. Wi-Hi ' s last track meet of the season gave them a third place finish in the state meets.

For the better part of the baseball season the Indians had their tomahawks out and their scalping knives sharp as they won 9 of the 11 games on the schedule. Coach Bob Eckert piloted the club throughout the successful season. The 2 losses were both reversed. Mardela edged the Indians2 to 1; but in the second game, the locals carried off a 3 to 2 victory. Cambridge defeated Wi Hi 5 to 3, chasing Bruce Connor in the fourth inning. Wi Hi got revenge with a score of 3 to 2 in the game at Memorial Field. George ’’Nick Nichols led the pitchers with an undefeated mark of 6 wins. Ronnie Daniels pitched at 2 wins and 1 loss. Bruce Connor had a win and a loss. The Indians ' usual lineup for the season was: Lee Brewington, first base; Norman Phillips, second base; Pete Reddish, third base; Norman Webster, shortstop, Bob Rayner left field; Jack Messick, centerfield; Wayne Bethards, right field; and Charley Holloway, catcher.

Only the year before had Wi Hi introduced golf; and though it had a rough start, the enthusiasm was high, and the results justified another fling. Suddenly, Mr. Denver Knapp came to the rescue by offering his open season to keep golf on the Wicomico High athletic program. His efforts were well worth while. The result was Wicomico High’s only undefeated athletic team for the 1954-55 season. To open the season the team beat Crisfield 6 to 0 and shut out Cambridge by the same score. A 5 to 0 win over Crisfield and another6 to 0 win over Cambridge made the Wicomico team the talk of the shore. Not only had they been unbeaten, but they were unscored upon. Dover managed to tie Wicomico2 and 1 2 apiece; but in the final match on May 26 Wicomico got sweet revenge, when they walloped the Delaware Senators by a 5 to 1 score. Bruce Wilson played the entire season without tasting defeat. Bruce Moulthrop was also undefeated, but he failed to qualify for one of the matches. Coach Knapp hopes to have a larger schedule for next season. 73 BOTTOM ROW, 1. tor.: Patsy Bailey, Lucille Jones, Charlotte Fitzgerald, Sandra Morgan, Barbara Elliott, Barbara Crosse, Joanne Longfellow, Ann Howard, Dorothy Downes.

Explores the Field of Nursing The primary purpose of the Future Nurses of America Club is to provide an opportunity for girls to investigate the nursing profession and help them to determine if their choice of this career is a wise one. To assist them they have a professional advisor, Mrs. Virginia Lay fie Id, Director of Peninsula General Hospital School of Nursing, and a faculty advisor, Miss Hester Farlow. The club provides a number of opportunities in which its 45 members can participate when delving into nursing. Some of these activities are ceremonies to inspire the interested, teas to meet girls in train¬ ing, hours to observe techniques in P.G.H., classes to study home nursing, tours of out-of-town hospitals, and conferences to interview hospital staff. By participation in these activities, members get a better insight into the nursing profession and in turn are better qualified to choose a career of nursing.

Audubon Members Meet Their Feathered Friends The Audubon Society, named for John James Audubon, the very famous ornithologist, was or¬ ganized in the fall of 1954. This club is under the supervision of Miss Josephine Warren. The purpose informing this club was to study and learn more about the science of ornithology. Setting up a bird feeding station outside of the science building was one of the first projects. Plans are made for it to be taken care of during the summer months. On the list of club activities were the trips to game reservations, Ocean Cit y, Salisbury Aquarium, and the city park. The club received the Audubon Magazine and bird modeling kits, which were interesting activities during the club ' s regular periods. The club is now affiliated with the National Audubon Society. 86 JUST ADD A LITTLE COLOR. Clyde Hayman watches as Dix¬ ie Somervell puts the finishing touches on a bird for a club project.

Newly Organized Club Has Largest Membership Can you see them yet! Lance Cornine measures Donald Long ' s fie Id of vision on one of the numer¬ ous sa fe driving testing machines. The purpose of the Drivers Club is to pro¬ mote safe driving on the part of teenagers and to encourage proper conduct and use of the school parking lot. Approximately eighty-five teenagers appeared to have interest in the realization of this pur¬ pose, for they made the club s year an active one. When you see the light, stop! Archie Collins’s reflex reactions are measured by John Wanex. Various speakers presented views on the teenager s and other drivers problems. State and city policemen stressed the importance of the club s purpose and the need of more care¬ ful dr ivers. Representatives from the Teenage Traffic Court and insurance agents were among others who addressed the group. 87 ’’LET ' S FOCUS THAT RIGHT, TOMMY. Stu¬ dents practice the work of future engineers. WHAT DO YOU GET, SHEP? Dale Bridgewater and Shepherd Hay man learn to use the slide rule. Engineers Plan for The Future A study of the various fields of en¬ gineering, their needs, and qualifica¬ tions was the primary interest of the Engineer ' s Club. The. members de¬ cided that their main project would be to discuss the different schools that rate high in engineering. Besides discussing the profession, the members chose to study the slide rule in detail and had short lessons on the sextant and other surveying in¬ struments . Not to be overlooked was the year¬ ly trip to Philadelphia for the mathe¬ matics competition. Some of the best students on the east coast compete in this test, and a few of the members reviewed and studied their mathe¬ matics for the entire year to be ready for this event.

McFadden Dick, Jr. has been very active this year. To become better acquainted with teaching methods, the club visited East Salisbury Elementary School. Florence Kelley, F.T.A. Secretary, served on the panel at the symposium and Christmas tea given by Kappa Delta Gamma at the State Teachers College. Other representatives were Barbara Parks and Bette Bai¬ ley. At the February P. T.A. meeting, the club presented a skit entitled ’’What! Me? A Teacher?” Mary Jane Parsons represented the club at the second annual FTA leadership conference atTowson, Maryland. One of the club ' s main projects for the year was to start a one-hundred dollar scholarship loan to benefit future teachers. To earn money for the scholarship, the club worked very hard in the concession stand at basketball games. How about this one? Two fu¬ ture teachers discuss pictures being put in the scrapbook.

Head Twirler, Jo Bounds. ■’■■I The band is perhaps one of the busiest organizations in the school. They have played for approximately 50 affairs during the school year, including P. T.A. meetings, football games, assemblies, TV appear¬ ances, and parades in which they have won many prizes. The high¬ light of the year for the members and Mr. Jupina was the annual spring concert which is prepared for months in advance. However, their best appearance was made at the Maryland State Band Festival where they received superior rating. In addition, the summer offers interest with a few parades and a series of eight concerts in the park on Sunday nights. As a result of their outstanding work during the past year, the band has been chosen to give a concert at the Maryland State Teachers ' Convention in October of 1955.
