S.H.H.S. THE REPRESENTATIVE S.H.H.S.
VOL. I. NO. 1 OCTOBER, 1922 10 CENTS A COPY
FOREWORD
We are pleased to have the opportunity to present to you our valuable little paper as one of the extra curriculum activities of our school. It is a contribution of the English Department of the Snow Hill High School with the co-operation of other departments. It may not be just what you expect. It is far from being perfect, although perfection is our goal. It is the desire of the editors and business managers to issue for you each month of the school year something of real value and interest, and we hope that you will co-operate with them and give your best constructive criticisms. We trust that you will not estimate the value of this paper in dollars and cents, but in service rendered. Our motto is to serve as well as to please.
O. PERRY SIMMONS.
THE BUDGET
"Oh! Where and Oh! Where have the copies of The Budget gone?"
This cry arose from the editorial staff of The Representative several days last week.
The Budget! Why should they want the copies of The Budget? What is The Budget?
The Budget is the school paper which was published by the Snow Hill High School several years ago. It was not printed, but was written on foolscap paper, and bound with clips. It made its appearance once a month for a number of years.
Mr. John W. Staton was the first editor and Miss Anna Scarborough, the assistant.
We will let The Budget speak for itself in this quotation from Mr. Staton's editorial:
"Its object is the instruction, improvement and entertainment of the pupils of the Snow Hill High School. It can not be carried on so as to gain its object, namely, the instruction, improvement and entertainment of the pupils of the Snow Hill High School, without the co-operation of the whole school. Therefore, whoever wishes success to it, must, in every way possible, show that they are interested in its welfare, and are anxious to make it as good a paper as possible. The most substantial and welcome method to show this interest would be by voluntary contributions." say it better ourselves.
SELF GOVERNMENT IN OUR HIGH SCHOOLS
In our school, student Government has not as yet been admitted by the faculty to be practicable for the entire school. It is true that one teacher has permitted it in her department and has found it entirely satisfactory, not only as to the conduct of the class but to the accomplishments made by it while she was unable to be with it. Now if that teacher attempted student Government and found it most successful, why can't the rest of the teachers? They can and will as soon as the students show themselves worthy of it. The pupils want it. Do boys and girls like to sit all through a study period with a teacher guarding them like a lot of precious stones? No! They like a little independence. They like a little time in which they can work without being watched. Besides pupils can't work so well when they are scared to make a noise lest they be scolded. Yes, I repeat it, it can be done. It is up to the teachers.
Boys and girls are looking forward to the time when the teachers take off that yoke that lets them into their full confidence and trust. The time will come when the study periods and even the classes themselves will be conducted by the class, with a chairman and a board at its head. Then all the class will work together as a whole and do good work, because they have the teachers' confidence, and on their honor they will uphold that trust put in them. Many of the large schools and colleges, in our country, are practicing this plan of Student Government and that is proof enough of its worthiness. The sooner we get it into our school the better. Teachers, let your pupils know you trust them. Pupils, let your teachers know you are worthy of their trust. That is the way to get Student Government in our school.

THE REPRESENTATIVE CONGRATULATES MR. HUMPHREY
The Snow Hill High School wishes, in this first issue of The Representative, to express its pleasure in the election of Mr. A. C. Humphrey to the position of Superintendent of Schools for Worcester County.
For fourteen years, Mr. Humphrey was principal of Snow Hill High School, and in that capacity won the respect and love of the school. We therefore rejoice that his ability has been recognized by "the powers that be" and that he has been chosen to fill a position which far extends his influence and field of action.
Snow Hill High School extends its congratulations and wishes for Mr. Humphrey the success he so richly deserves.
TESTS
Our school was visited last week by Miss I. Jewell Simpson, director of the Board of Measurements and her assistant, Miss Cook, of Baltimore.
Miss Simpson, Miss Cook and Superintendent Humphreys, assisted by Miss Pusey and Miss Ross, of Pocomoke, Miss Stagg and Miss Shockley, of Snow Hill, have given jests in Arithmetic and Reading to every child in Worcester County who are registered in the grades from three to seven, inclusive.
These two subjects, namely Arithmetic and Reading, are the ones in which the pupils seem weak. The object, therefore, in giving these tests is to discover the weakness. By constructive criticism and demonstration lessons the teachers will be shown how to remedy this deficiency and bring the Worcester County children up to standard.
These tests have been given to twenty thousand pupils in the State. Later another set of tests will be given to the same pupils, and the results will show the improvement in these two subjects.
A little boy who had just started to school was asked this:
"How do you like school, son?"
"Fine! But what I like best about it is them recesses."
ATHLETIC NOTES
Soccer
We are all very much interested in Soccer this year. John Hales has been chosen Captain of our team. Three cheers and good luck, John - We're backing you, 160 strong.
Mr. Dryden, our new athletic coach says the boys have progressed rapidly. We notice, that while Mr. Dryden has been appointed Director of Athletics, Mr. Kelly still holds the purse strings. That reminds us - we've paid our monthly athletic dues. Have you?
Warning to all - we are out for the County Championship in soccer.
Our soccer team will be one of the best equipped teams in the state. Our boys look well in Maroon and Black, don't they?
On Tuesday afternoon, October 3, our soccer boys went to Princess Anne for a practice game with the Washington High School boys.
Our team was not up to full strength by any means. (Capt. Hales and Avery Bishop were forced to remain on the side lines, owing to injuries). Yet the team had little difficulty in downing their opponents, 2-0. The game gave our coach a good opportunity to find out our weaknesses and means for strengthening them The work of our forwards was creditable for an early season game, but they seemed to be minus the punch at the proper moments, and missed many good opportunities to
score.
Timmons, White and Stagg showed up exceptionally well among the forwards, while Jones bore the brunt of the defense admirably. Both our points were scored by White during the first half of the game.

When Doctors Disagree.
In this case it's about the meaning of mutineer. It may be wild horses or cattle; a steer who has run wild; or a man who is at the head of some business. Perhaps the Sophomores can settle it.

Referee's Change of Decision and Snow Hill's Lack of Substitutes Give Pocomoke Victory in County's First Soccer Game
Friday afternoon, Snow Hill High School lost to Pocomoke High School on the latter's grounds, in a beautifully played game of soccer 1-0. The score speaks well of the closeness of the game. The teams were evenly matched. Our boys played a strong offensive game during the first half and managed to keep the ball in their opponents' territory over four-fifths of the time, yet they seemed to lack the final punch to score. Only on a very few occasions did Pocomoke succeed in getting the ball in our half of the field. Then, owing to the wonderful defense put up by our backs, they were unable to keep the ball in our territory any length of time.
Only twice in the first period did they threaten our goal, and it was on one of these occasions mostly through luck, Payne for Pocomoke, placed the ball between our goal posts. The referee ruled Pocomoke was not entitled to the point and resumed play, awarding our team a goal kick. Then after several plays had been made he blew his whistle, stopped play, changed his decision and credited Pocomoke with one point. They put the ball in play at center of field. This action was the turning point of the game. It gave Pocomoke a lead which our boys were unable to overcome.
When we figure that only five of our boys played last year, we feel very much pleased with the showing our team made in its first game. There was plenty of determination and fight, yet there was evidence of undertraining. This latter fact, coupled with our lack of substitutes, forced our boys to change their mode of play in the last half. They played a defensive game entirely.
McAllister, a new boy, played a bang-up game as goal keeper. Capt. Hales and Jones did very good defensive work, while, White and Bishop starred on the offense.

MAROON AND BLACK DEFEATS OLD RIVALS
Does Berlin miss Mr. Pruitt? Well I guess - ask them the score of our soccer game, Tuesday, Oct. 10th. Nevertheless the boys from Buckingham High School played a pretty game on our home field, and held our team to a close score of 2-1. Our two goals were made during the first half of the game, while Berlin's one point was made during the last half. Our first count was scored by Bishop after our boys had, by a series of fine passing, placed the ball in front of our opponents' goal. Capt. Hales made our second point with a direct kick from Berlin's 20 yard line.
It was noted that the moving of Hales from left full back to the forward line strengthened our offense materially, and the ball was kept in Berlin's territory practically the entire game.
Our backs, Harris, Stoakley and Jones, were found always on the job, and simply refused to allow our rivals to approach our goal. Some of Jones' kicks were the longest ever seen on our local field.
Our team showed better co-operation and team work than at any other occasion this season. All the boys played a strong, steady game. It is almost impossible to pick out any stars, but the work of Hales and Bishop on the forward line was worthy of notice. For the visitors Farnham and Cathell were the outstanding players.
Our team was very much encouraged by the wonderful cheering and rooting which our girls and boys gave them. It is hoped that our loyal supporters will follow the team and cheer it on to many other victories.

In presenting this, the first issue of The Representative to the school and its patrons, we confess to a feeling of extreme humility. It may be that, in the beginning of the venture, we under-estimated the magnitude of our undertaking, or, perhaps, over-estimated our ability to measure up to the task it will impose upon us; if so, to paraphrase our constant companion in English classics," "Twere a grievous fault and grievously have we repented it."
As the importance of the success of our effort in journalism is more forcibly impressed upon us, there comes to us a fuller realization or the fact that by this, its most public fruit, our school will be known, its standards indeed, and its efforts wolved. We feel a sense of responsibility that makes us await most anxiously your reception of this, our first issue.
The fates have so decreed that we have never experienced, nor can we ever experience, the joys of boyhood. Not for us are the adventures of fount and stream, nor the more dubuious one of Dad and the woodshed, but rather the simple and less thrilling delights of the paper doll and the tea party.
However, at this moment, we believe that we know something of the feelings, share the thrills of the small boy as he stands poised on the bank of the "Ole swimmin' hole," bolstering up his courage to make the first plunge of the summer. The air seems to have developed a sudden chilliness not apparent to him as he raced to his preparations, the pool looks dark, and deep and forbidding, and in his mind there is the fear that it may be that he will dive so far that he will be unable to swim back to the shore.
Now that we are making our plunge, we share the boy's feelings, his emotions are ours with but slight variations.
With a sympathetic shiver we emulate his example - and you are now hearing our splash! May it, like the boys in the quiet pool, spread in ever widening circles until its purpose is realized and its influence felt by the whole school and all its patrons.
We sincerely hope that our efforts will so meet with your approval, that our dark forebodings will be replaced with the thrill of success and we can exultingly cry, "C'mon in! The water's fine!" and that the chill of the first plunge will be driven away by basking in the warm smiles of your approbation.
Faculty Line Up.
We are very glad to have so many of the Regulars of the Faculty with us again, very glad to welcome two new members into its ranks.
There's Mr. Simmons, the Energetic One, who is busy all the time, here, there, and everywhere, popping in and out of classrooms when we least expect him.
Mrs. Whaley is again giving her broadsides against incorrect English.
Miss Julia is still wondering when we will all love and know history as well as she does.
Miss Riley, our French teacher, seems to be one of us, as she isn't much older than we. Miss Riley, your age makes no difference--we like you just the same.
Miss Gordy, our Domestic Science teacher, drives a car and it's a Ford. We shall bless that little Ford a great many times, for we are very fond of the driver of "Miss Elizabeth."
Mr. Kelly is not only interested in Athletics, but in fishing as well. Mr. Kelly, how many fish did you catch last summer?
Mr. G. Ewell Dryden, the athletic director, bids fair to become as popular as his prima donna sister, Miss Emily Dryden, our Science teacher. These two Drydens are a great addition to our already very able faculty.
Miss Mason, the latest addition to the Faculty, succeeds Miss Elsie Dryden, who has been kidnapped by Mr. Humphreys, to help him in the School Board office. Miss Mason was graduated from S. H. H. S. Last year she went to Temple University in Philadelphia.
With all your faults, Members of the Faculty, we love you still. We hope you all feel it's as good to be here, as we feel it's good to have you here.
Help Wanted!
For the girls with their knitting. To make the boys (and girls, too) go up each step, and not skip one.
To make the teachers stop pestering us with tests. They're an awful nuisance.
OUR FIRST DAY IN HIGH SCHOOL
On September 4, 1922, our class made its first appearance in high school. Some of us went upstairs that morning with a smile and others with a frown, but we all felt bigger and more important than usual.
We had been looking forward to this day for some time, and had expected that our high school life would be quite different from our previous school days. But we found it was the same thing only worse, harder studies and more of them.
Our class is so large it was divided into two sections with separate class rooms. But even with this arrangement many desks are occupied by two students. I expect our class will be the largest to be graduated in the history of the school, that is, if we all are graduated as we all hope to be. But no doubt some of us will be disappointed.
In looking around the room we miss many familiar faces, especially old Pert Hill, who was a great help to the teacher, and who always kept the class in good humor.
After a few days we got settled down and are now getting back into our stride. Look out for the class of 1926, the biggest and best class that ever entered Snow Hill High School.
ALAN LANDERS, '26.
THE TRAIL
What sort of a trail do you think of the minute you hear the word? A long narrow pass up the mountains, up which can be seen several pack animals loaded with the paraphernalia of the people whom they followed, is the trail which will very likely cross your mind.
Yes, just that. This trail is made by school children in going to and from school. Here's a paper of some pupil who has very carelessly dropped it. The wind takes it, plays with it awhile and carries it over in one of the yards near the school. It's the same way with most of the paper found on other yards. But if the pupils would think as much about making their grounds look neat and clean as they do themselves, there would be no paper trail. The school yard will tell what sort of people are on the inside and how we keep it.
Every student in school, from the primary grades to the high school, should make it his or her duty to pick up the paper and not leave it for our neighbors.
Come on, student body, let's make our school yard the cleanest and best kept of any in the county.
WHOOP-LA!
Do you think the day will ever come when --
Mr. Simmons will stop reminding us that the end of the month is at hand?
Miss Julia will forget to instruct her eighth grade how to use her large dictionary, which has been resting on her desk for several years, so its back will not be broken?
Ethel Shockley will wear a soiled middy and an unpowdered nose to school?
Frances Hancock will stop asking questions?
Helen Dennis will forget the meaning of "parler"?
Helen Bowen will stop studying the history of Charles I?
Mr. Humphreys and Mr. Gibson were talking one day, when Mr. Humphreys said.
"But I don't know what kind of a stick to measure music with."
"Why, a staff, of course," answered Mr. Gibson.
What do you do when Mother asks what your French mark was, and Miss Riley said it was zero?
Tell the Representative what you do.
We missed Miss Dryden dreadfully the day she was sick, even if we did have a new instructor. Miss Dryden says our note books ought to look nice now. We'll see!
U-Tell-'Em!
About our Soccer boys' red jerseys. Look nice. don't they?
How well the public is responding to our repeated calls for subscriptions.
That student government is a success in the Science Department. Why? Ask the Physics classes.
That it didn't rain when we played Soccer with Berlin. It usually does.
Mr. Dryden didn't go to the afternoon performance of the circus, so we suppose his parents didn't give him a note.
We're going to have educated mice in this school, aren't we? A little mouse has been seen in one of the French classes, and another, the same day, in a Latin Class.
Speaking of mice, we heard a cat me-owing outside of school one day. Don't whisper it, but Miss Riley is "mighty skeered o' cats."
