various machines asking what this

a very large Babcock

four job presses, one cast molder,
two mergenthader linotype nh

complete contrasting equipment,

HALL OF FAME
Cecilia Shaw


This week the Hall of Fame bestows
its honor upon one of the most amiable
students enrolled in old P. H. S.
Cecilia Shaw, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry B. Shaw.
She rates as one of the most out
standing students of her class
whom the others look to for leadership
and advice; and they always find what
they're loking for in Celicia. She has
acquired several nick-names which are
extremely appropriate such as "Dimp-
les" and Little Heartbreaker."
This young lady has great talent in
the field of dramatics and public speak
ing. During the early part of this
year she took part in play presented
by the Junior Class in assembly
"Trial for the Murder of the Kings
English" Her role was that of Miss
Precise and it was portrayed extreme
ly well.
Later on when the class was study
ing Shapespeare, Cecilia was chosen
as chairman of the Shakespeare Com
nittee, which produced admirable
pieces of handicraft, such as model
theatres of Shakespeare's time, and
dolls dressed in the costumes of that
day. She is also taking part in the
defamation contest which is to be
held the latter part Of April.
Her chief hobby is one in which she
takes great pride and interest, that OF
collecting the autographs of famous
and well-known people. She has over
seventy Of these, one of which is an
autograph of John Quincy Adams dur
ing his presidency. This year, she
won first prize in the high school
girls group for displaying this most
interesting collection. This makes
the second year her hobby has taken
a prize.
You have something there that is
both educational and fascinating, &C.
ella. Here's wishing you the best
Of luck with it!
Grace Howard
Grace Howard, daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Willis R. Howard steps into the
"limelight" this week as one of our
leading commercial students.
Grace entered the fifth grade in
Pocomoke from Merrill's School and
has since become an outstanding stud
ent in her studies. She has earned a
position on the Honor Roll practically
every month.
Grace is referred to as one of the
most efficient typists in her depart
ment. During the first semester this
year she received her expert Typist"
pin. Consequently she has been elect
ed typist on the staff.
She has twice been prominent Of
ficer of her class. She was treasurer
Of her Sophomore class and vice-presi-
dent of her Junior class.
Basketball is her favorite sport.
This year she took the position as CEN
ter on the team and with her alert and
swift movements she has done much
to make the Pocomoke Girl Basketeers
renowned throughout the state.
Sports of all kinds interest Grace
(and so does the standing guard on
the boys basketball team.)
Her winning ways and that certain
spark of personality have made her
one of the most popular girls both in
and out of school.

Miss Irma D. Donate, head of the

AZ Years a Notary Public,
C.. W. FlOeckher Holds Record

BY JOHN JAY DAILY.

When Benjamin Harrison was PreSi-

pointed a Swamp Poodle man, Charles
w. F1oeckher, as the first notary
public to serve in that section of the
city-east of North Capitol street and
north of the Capitol.
That was back in 1901 years
ago-and Mr. Floeckher has been do
ing business at the same old stand
ever since, reappointed by every sue
ceeding President.
Il must-a been behaving myself"
Franklin D. Roosevelt wouldn't have
sent me my last papers"
1t appears that Mr.. Floeckher holds
the long distance notary public cham
pionship of Washington. And yet
he feels he is just beginning in the
business. He got a late start-in his
thirtieth year.

A native-born WaShingtonian, son
of the late Charles w. Floeckher who
was a miller and ran the old Argyle
Mill out beyond Rock Creek Park. the
son came to H street about 1868
when his father gave up the mill and
started a feed business.
Mr. Floeckher has stuck to H street,
in the same block, and though the
feed business has gone with the wind
he now finds Office space in an auto
mobile repair shop.
"Tiber Greek used to run past my
fathers feed store" Mr.. Floeckher re-
called, "and all us boys who lived down
in Swamp Poodle went skating on the
creek in Winter and padded on it in
Summer. Some of the boys were
pretty good swimmers-but wasn't
much at that sort O. sport. So just
stuck to the shore and watched 'em
swim down the creek from H street to
Pennsylvania avenue ."
All have gone now, including Mr..
