Laurie Richardson S. H. H. S. The Representative S. H. H. S. VOL VI, NO. 1. SNOW HILL, MD., OCTOBER 1927 15 CENTS A COPY S. H. H. S. Takes Two Games From Pocomoke High School Field Ball 6-2 Soccer 3-2 P. H. S. and S. H. H. S. opened the field ball and soccer season on Friday, October 7, when the opposing teams met at Snow Hill. Both games proved very exciting and interesting. At the end of the first half of the field ball, the score stood 4-2, Snow Hill leading. The home team managed to roll up the score by making one more goal during the second half, thus, the game ended with a score 6-2. The Snow Hill goals were made by Mary Evans, Wilma Jones, and Lola Godfrey. Below is the line-up of both teams: P. H. S. - x - S. H. H. S.

The halves were divided into twenty-five minutes, allowing the players five minutes rest between. On the whole the two teams were well matched and played a very tight game. At the end of the first half (Continued a page 2) Professor O. Perry Simmons Principal of S. H. H. S. Weds Miss Greenlee Our principal, Mr. O. Perry Simmons and Miss Susan Grace Greenlee, of Greensboro, Md., were quietly married on Saturday August sixth in the Methodist Episcopal church at Greensboro, Md. Mr. Simmons has been the Principal of Snow Hill High School for the past six years, coming to us in 1921. Since making his home in Snow Hill, he has made many friends who wish both Mrs. Simmons and him long years of happiness. Mr. and Mrs. Simmons are living in his Market Street home, and are new at home to friends. Prof. John S. Hill Donates Several Valuable Volumes to Snow Hill High School Library Also Makes Large Contribution To Ocean City High School and Board of Education Professor John S. Hill, who recently retired from the teaching profession, after rendering his services for forty-three years, has donated to our school library sixty-five beautiful, useful, and valuable volumes. Words of appreciation seem inadequate to express to Mr. Hill exactly he feeling of gratitude the pupils and teachers of S. H. H. S. experience. Net only has Mr. Hill made us a valuable contribution, but he has also donated from three to four hundred volumes to Ocean City High School, as well as from thirty to forty volumes to the County Board of Education to be used as teachers' professional reference library. Besides these, he has kept a number of his books in his own library. A special bookcase is being made in our Manual Training Department for the books which Mr. Hill has given S. H. H. S. We shall always enjoy using these volumes and often think kindly of the donor. We admire his generosity and love him for his loyalty to the school where he received his education. In an interview with Mr. Hill, we find that he has had a very interesting teaching career which in part is: "I began teaching in 1879 at Five-Mile Branch school. After teaching there for five years, I came to Snow Hill. This was (Continued on page 7) 2 THE REPRESENTATIVE STUDENT COUNCIL BEGINS WORK EARLY New President Presides On September 21, 1927 the Student Council held its first meeting of the year 1927-1928 in the Lab. room. The new President, Louis Tuckerman presided over the council for the first time. He opened the meeting with a short talk, in which he again expressed his appreciation for the votes given him last year, voiced his hopes for the success of the council during the coming year, [illegible] asking the members to give him their hearty support and cooperation. The most important business taken up during the meeting was the election of officers. The importance and responsibilities of the officers were first stressed by Miss Riley, the council adviser. After different candidates for various offices had been discussed and voted upon, the following officers were elected: Marian Humphreys, vice president; Carson Chandler, secretary; Lester Hearthway, treasurer. When all other business had been attended to, Miss Riley read the oath of office, which every council member must take, made the council realize the importance and seriousness of the oath, and administered it to the President. He then administered it to the other members of the council. The business of the council was closed by the appointing of the first Home Room Inspection Committee, which began work October 3. Second Meeting Held on October 11 At this meeting, Virginia Dryden, B. Lang representing the fourth year French class, came before the council asking permission to organize a French Club in S. H. H. S. After giving all details necessary and answering several questions, she was dismissed. This matter was thoroughly discussed by the council from every angle and after careful consideration, it was decided to allow this club, which calls itself, "The French Owls" to become an organization and hold meetings in the school. A report from the Home Room Inspection Committee was submitted which showed that Miss Waddington's room, the Commercial Department, led with a total of 245 points. Reports from other committees were given and other business attended to, after which adjourned. 1 Joy meeting was S. H. H. S. TAKES TWO GAMES FROM POCOMOKE HIGH SCHOOL (Continued from page 1) the score was tied 2-2. Hance Fooks made the goal for Snow Hill. In the second half the teams seemed overflowing with renewed vigor, each determined to kick a winning goal. Soon, by a successful kick by Capt. Dick Barnes, the game was won for Snow Hill! In the last few minutes of play, Pocomoke carried the ball down the field and succeeded in kicking a goal, but unfortunately, for Pocomoke, the play was "off-side." This gave the spectators a thrill; in fact the entire game was exciting from the beginning to end. Mr. Paul S. Frank refereed both the field ball and soccer. Soccer Line-up P. H. S. - x - S. H. H. S.

THE REPRESENTATIVE 3 ATHLETES HOLD INITIAL MEETING Boys and Girls Review Athletic Prospects With Coaches "All things come to him who waits," so quoted Mr. Kelly when he looked, with an approving eye, over a crowd of enthusiastic boys, gathered in the Junior home room on September 17, who were out to make the soccer team this year. He went on to explain that for twenty-five years he had been waiting to have such a group of boys from which to pick a soccer team. In fact, there were several present as heavy as the players on the team last year. Thirty minutes or more were spent in talking over the soccer prospects, acquainting the new boys with the rules of the game, and introducing the new coach, Mr. Jones. Field Ball Receives No Less Attention In another corner of S. H. H. S. Miss Riley was giving a blackboard diagram to all field ball enthusiasts. The game was considered carefully from every angle, and all new students in high school were made familiar with the rules, while the old ones had many new points called to their attention. Miss Riley introduced as assistant coach, Miss Hayman, teacher of foreign languages. Miss Hayman was a "star" athlete while attending S. H. H. S., and the team feels proud to have her lending them her valuable assistance. Now That's The Problem City Girl: What's worrying you, Dave, dear?

Miss Riley presided until George Corddry was elected president of the class. He then took charge of the meeting and soon the following officers were elected: Hazel Holston, vice-president; Margie Truitt, secretary; Louise Duer, treasurer. A short business meeting was held immediately after the election of officers. A committee of three seniors was appointed by the class to interview Mr. Simmons to find out when the seniors would be allowed to buy their class rings. This committee, namely, Eva Truitt, George Corddry, and Marian Humphreys report that the rings may be purchased by the middle of November.

PURNELL COMPANY INVESTMENTS REAL ESTATE INSURANCE SNOW HILL, MARYLAND 4 THE REPRESENTATIVE THE ELEMENTARY GRADES We have been asked to contribute an article each month to "The Representative." As we are much interested in our High School and its paper we shall be glad to do our part. While there is little in our school life that is of interest to the grown-ups of the High School, we hope to send in some articles that they will enjoy. This month we have a contribution from each of the grades. Cynthia Hales, Seventh Grade. Miss Mundy Visits Seventh Grade On October 3, Miss Mundy suddenly appeared in our midst and to our surprise and delight instead of continuing our regular schedule as we usually do when she is with us, we found she had come this time to do the talking instead of the listening. She gave us a very interesting, as well as instructive, talk on the B. and O. Exposition. She described the pageant and explained the development of transportation. She also showed us pictures of the different engines which are being exhibited. As we have not had the privilege of attending "The Fair of the Iron Horse" we very much appreciate Miss Mundy's bringing it to us. Irma M. Newton, Seventh Grade. A Story With A Moral Tap, tap, tap! A knock was heard at the door and Betty Andrews arose and answered it. As Betty opened the door she was greeted by the question, "Do you want "The Representative" for a year? It is only seventy- five cents." "No," flung out Betty, "I'm not going to throw my money away on old school papers." So saying she shut the door and went back to her studies. In a few minutes the door flew open and in came Betty's chum, Sallie Longworth. "O Betty, did you subscribe for "The Representative' this year?" she burst out. "No!" snapped Betty, "I did not!" "Well I did," said Sallie, "and I'm sure you will be sorry you didn't before the year is out." Sallie saw one of the other girls passing and ran out to meet her. Betty had hardly gotten seated before the door opened again and in, came Jean Dicks, asking the same thing. When she heard the reply of Betty she went out saying, "O you'll be sorry, Betty!" Other girls and boys came in during the afternoon all talking enthusiastically about "The Representative." Let us suppose another year has passed and Betty is in High School. The girls and boys are again getting subscriptions for "The Representative." This time Betty does not wait to be asked, but runs to them and eagerly announces, "I want "The Representative', and I am going to take to make up for what I missed by not it every year, even after I graduate, having it last year!" Grace Higgins, Grade Six. The Fifth Grade At first the fifth grade was strange to us, but we are now getting used to it. We are all trying hard to get 100% on both athletic dues and attendance. Our class consists of twenty-three girls and nineteen boys. Our president is Ella Godfrey; vice president, Emma Jane Riley; and secretary, Betty Ann Purnell. We are trying to be the best fifth grade that has ever been in Snow Hill School. Betty Ann Purnell. Elma: Harold says he's going to marry the prettiest girl in town. Ethel: Why, the idea! I don't even know him. FIELD BALL AND SOCCER SCHEDULE FOR 1927-1928 October 7- Berlin at Stockton; Pocomoke at Snow Hill. October 14- Stockton at Snow Hill; Pocomoke at Berlin.

THE REPRESENTATIVE 5 DRAMATIC CLUB REORGANIZES William Sherkey '28 Elected President The first meeting of the Dramatic Club of Snow Hill High School for this year was held in the Lab. room, September 30th. Everyone seemed very enthusiastic and soon the work of the year was begun. Miss Riley, sponsor to the club, presided at the meeting and opened with a short address of welcome. The meeting was turned into an election of officers for the year 1927 and 28. As a result of the election the club is very fortunate indeed to have for its president and leader, William Sherkey, '28. Besides William's dramatic ability which he has shown on several occasions, he possesses many other qualities necessary for good leadership. We feel sure the club will make rapid strides under his guidance. Louise Duer, Margaret White, and Lois Mason were elected to the offices of vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. Eva Truitt is the club's corresponding secretary. Certain committee were appointed by the president, and plans for the reading table were discussed, after which the meeting was adjourned. Second Meeting Held October 13 At the second meeting of the Dramatic Club on October 13, there were reports given from chairmen of all committees. At this meeting several members of the club willingly volunteered to lend magazines to the club for the reading table. According to the report made, the reading table will be reinstalled by the first of November. The club voted that the secretary write a letter of condolence and sympathy of Naomi Sturgis '30, who was absent from the club because of the death of her father, Capt. Sturgis. It was a very great pleasure to have Ruth Riley '28 come before the club at this meeting seeking membership. She rendered the selection by Kipling, "If", which was greatly enjoyed by all. There are at present four others who desire to gain admittance in the club and who have been granted permission to appear before the club at its next sitting. IMPORTANT CHANGES MADE IN SNOW HILL HIGH SCHOOL Some important changes have taken place in the schoolhouse since last term. In the first place, the assembly hall has been divided into two rooms. One of the rooms serves for one section of the eighth grade's home room and for a study hall; the other is used for a commercial home room. The domestic science kitchen has been moved from its former place to what was Mr. Frank's room. It has some new equipment including two new sinks, cabinets and stoves. The staff of "The Representative" has equipped a very attractive office in the "White House." The staff is very proud of this room and is much interested in keeping it neat and clean. We know that they will enjoy working on The Representative much more in such attractive surroundings. Family History School Teacher: Now, who was the father of the Black Prince?

VALUES OF A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION Everyone gets some kind of an education. What concerns those who are interested in the youth of the land, is what kind of an education they will get, and what they will do with it. The education we desire is that which is going to help us live better, to work better, to play better. Some will be professional men and women, others will be farmers or artisans, and still others will be "hewers of wood and drawers of water." The state is attempting, through the different courses offered in the high schools, to prepare boys and girls for the work in which each will engage. What returns will a high school education make to those who endure unto the end? No young man or woman can enter an institution of higher learning without a high school education; no girl can enter a training school for nurses until she can show a diploma of graduation from an accredited school; very few banks or trust companies will employ a young man who has not had at least four years of study beyond the elementary school. The friendships formed in high school are frequently lasting. The social relationships afford an opportunity for one to learn what society demands. The contests in athletics train those who take part, in fair play, generous winning and sportmanlike losing. The club activities give the pupils practice in presiding at meetings, writing and reading minutes, and giving reports. Many a man and woman would give a great deal for the confidence with which high school boys and girls conduct their business, and social meetings. William P. Sherkey He who is good at making excuses is seldom good for anything else. -Franklin. PROFESSOR WALTER S. HASTINGS CONTRIBUTES FIRST ARTICLE ON BENEFITS OF A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION Other Articles To Appear In Next Issue This column will be reserved each month for an indefinite time to be used in publishing articles written on subjects dealing with the benefits and rewards of a high school education. We are asking certain alumni and alumnae of S. H. H. S. who have become successful men and women, to contribute these articles. Upon request, Mr. Walter Scott Hastings, a former graduate of S. H. H. S., and now Associate Professor of French at Princeton University, has written for us the very interesting article, "What Does A High School Pay?" printed below. We, in this way, wish to express our profound appreciation to Prof. Hastings for his courtesy in favoring us promptly with this effective contribution. We feel confident that not only the students of S. H. H. S., and subscribers of The Representative, but also of many other high schools with whom we exchange, will read with pleasure this interesting article, the first of its kind appearing in The Representative. What Does A High School Education Pay? Every boy or girl who enters High School is offered two kinds of an education: one is intellectual, the other moral. We are quite apt to think merely in terms of the former, but they are both there, waiting for us to receive them; not stored away on separate shelves, nor placed beyond our reach. An elementary text-book on physiology may initiate us intellectually into the mysteries of that wonderful machine which is called the human body. Morally, that same text may teach a splendid lesson in moral THE REPRESENTATIVE 7 endurance, in clean and temperate living. The Book of Ecclesiastes contains much moral wisdom for a student. Intellectually, those same rolling stanzas may carry one into the realms of Poetry. We are offered, then, two kinds of an education. They are not given free of charge, as we sometimes are apt to imagine. Any useful life involves obligations of one kind or another. We go through life, contracting debts: to family, or friends, or state. We are always expected to give something, or to sacrifice something, in return for the privilege of living. Is this not also true of Education, which is such an integral part of life? We are loaned this stimulating and twofold education which I mentioned above; and, in return, we should strive to pay our debts. We should strive to become useful and active members of the community in which we live. It is only when we grasp this sense of obligations, that an education really and fully pays. Walter Scott Hastings, Associate Professor of French, Princeton University.

PROFESSOR JOHN S. HILL DONATES SEVERAL VALUABLE VOLUMES TO SNOW HILL HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY (Continued from page 1) 1885. Here I taught eight years and held the office of Vice-President. During my stay in Snow Hill, the present school building was built. We thought it a very wonderful building then, but now the school needs a new building, and I am hoping it will soon come about. The next four years I was out of the county, staying one year in Oxford, and four years in Aberdeen where I was married. At this time, in spite of my great burning desire to continue teaching, because of ill health the doctor ordered a rest of four years. I resumed teaching in 1901 at Stockton, Md., where I remained for twenty-two years. as principal. The last four years I have spent in Ocean City as principal of Ocean City High School." Mr. Hill was probably the organizer of the first Hygiene and Physiology classes ever taught in Worcester County. As a teacher he has been unusually successful and many of his former students have now become prominent men and women. Of Snow Hill Mr. Hill says, "I have come back home to live, for to me Snow Hill seems like home. It is one of the prettiest and most delightful towns, in which some of the best people in the world live." Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year. -Emerson.

H. H. S. in spite of the delightful visits to friends and relatives as well as the shorter interesting trips that summer affords us. After participating in the Annual State Athletic Meet in Baltimore, Louis Tuckerman remained in the city visiting relatives the remainder of the month. Miss Mabel C. Gordy, 26 visited S. H. H. S. on September 7th. Miss Gordy is beginning her second year in the Nurses' Training School at Woman's Hospital, Balto. Miss Bernice Ball, of Box Iron, a graduate of the class of '27, was married to Mr. George Truitt, of Snow Hill, on Wednesday, September 21, at Delmar, Del. Among those who visited the northern cities, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore during summer were Eva Truitt, Franklin Powell, and William Sherkey. Franklin also spent a few days at Delaware Water Gap. Martha Bailey spent the summer with her aunt Mrs. W. H. Blest of Wilmington, Del. Her cousin, Miss Catherine Blest, accompanied her home. Winnie N. Holston spent the week-end of September 12, in Norwood, Pa., where she attended the wedding of her cousin. Miss Riley spent the week-end of September 10, in Baltimore. Mr. Jones was suddenly called to Delta, Pa., because of the death of his grandmother, Mrs. Ellen W. Jones. Prof. John S. Hill took charge of his classes while he was away. During the week-end of September 30, Julia Evans '28 enjoyed a visit with her uncle, Mr. E. G. Riggin at Pitman, N. J. Miss Riley left Sunday October 2 on a motor trip through the New England States and Canada. Mrs. Simmons substituted for her during the ten days of her absence. Thursday September 22, several girls met with Miss Hayman in the study hall for the purpose of organizing a glee club, for the year '27 and '28. The Sophomores regret very much the loss of two of their members, Helen Brickert, who is now attending Delmar High School, Delmar, Del., and Walter Onley, who is attending Charlotte Hall Academy, Charlotte Hall, Md. In the home room meeting on Friday, September 31, the Freshmen elected Mary Brown as Freshman re- porter to The Representative. Among the Freshmen that spent their vacation in Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore and other northern cities were Edward Wilson, James Wilson, Mary Brown, Anne Purnell and Charles Kensey. C. S.

MISS LOTTIE FOOKS THE REPRESENTATIVE 9 Elizabeth Warner was a delegate of the 4H club of Worcester County at Club Week held at College Park in August. "My gracious," "Oh my Land", "For Heaven's Sake," and thousands of other similar remarks was the way in which the pupils of Snow Hill received the news that on "SATURDAY" September 24 a circus was coming to town. Why couldn't it be some other day than Saturday? The field ball and soccer teams of S. H. H. S. journeyed to Marion, Md., on Wednesday, October 5 to engage in practice games with Marion High School teams. The result was that Marion won both games. The field ball score was 7-4, and Soccer 2-0. The Senior academics surprised Mr. Simmons greatly September 30 when they announced in the home room meeting that all athletic money was paid up for the year. This is the first time since the paying of athletic money that any class has made this record. Ray Seniors!! Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward offered, for they are gone forever. -Horace Mann.
