HALL OF FAME (Faculty)
Mr.. Merrill, a very popular teacher
of our school, takes his place in the
Hall of Fame this week. Upon COM
pleting high school in Pcomoke, in
1882, he entered the University Of
Maryland where he played in the band
and won many honors. At the Uni
versity he made an A average the last
two semesters and a B average the
whole four years. After leaving the
University in 1885, he began teaching
high school in Pocomoke, where he has
been instructor Of math and industrial
arts for two years.
Mr.. Merrill is very much interested
in shop work, metal work, and last
but not least, he likes teaching. We
are glad to mention that he is also
talented in music and can master
many musical instruments. Putting
his talent to use he has played for
the Junior Prom, Armory, State
Teachers College and the University
bany. He likes athletics and his fav-
orite sports are basket ball; swimming
and tennis.
The student body wishes Mr.. Mer-
rill success and happiness in both
teaching and home life.

personal struggle, but some strange
inward feeling suggested that his an
tagonist might be his father. So
strong was this emotion that he be-
came careless and Rustum's spear
pierced his side. He fell, Rustum re-
vealed his identity, and Sohrab, dying,
told his adversary of their kinship.
Only when Sohrab had revealed and
proved the circumstances of his birth
did Rustum realize that he had slain
his own son.
STUDENT SELF-INSTRUCTION
Some time ago there was Teach
er's meeting held in Salisbury, where
a professor from Harvard University
was the principle speaker. He told
of school in California where the
students one day taught themselves,
due to the absence of all the teachers.
Last week the Commercial Depart
ment was under the same circum-
stances. Due to the absence of Miss
Kitchens, head of the Commercial De-
partment, the students decided to
prove that they too could go ahead
and carry on their work withou a
teacher.
When the 900 o'clock bell rang.
everyone was in his place and ready
for work. That's the way they were
found every morning, and with the CO.
operation of each other they kept up
in their work.
This is the first time Pocomoke
High School has had classes to carry
on their work without teacher.
Although they all enjoyed carrying
on their work alone, they were very
glad to have Miss Kitchens return this
week.
GIRLS BASKETBALL
The girls have begun their basket
ball practice, that is, getting used to
the ball. The regular practice will
not begin until after Christmas. Last
year we lost two of our well-known
players. However, there is some new
talent trying out this year and it is
certain they will succeed. Something
has been said about new suits and if
that is true we are sure the girls will
be raring to go out on that floor, OF
at least, we hope so. Come on, girls,
how about winning team this year ?

Monies Rainbow Club.

In her school studies, Cecilia excels
in her two favorite subjects, english
and mathematics; although she has
proved herself to be good orator and
debater in history class, and renders
good Interpretation of the French
language.
Cecilia has two outstanding hobbies
to which she devotes much of her
time-collecting autographs and dane
ing. 1t seems that she has wonder
full collection of autographs of famous
people. At the last hobby show given
in the P. H. S. auditorium Cecilia
book of numerous autographs was in
deed given attention by those who at
tended the show.
Recently, Cecilia has taken up driv-
ing an automobile. Maybe one of these
days she and another Senior girl who
has just obtained her drivers license
and who earned place in the Hall of
Fame last week will be able to get
together and see just how much they
can destroy around town!
Warning to all motorists: Be on the
lookout for one Senior girl, an attrac-
tive brunette, driving a SO Chevrolet.
No offense, Cecilia, because P. 81,
S. is confident that you will be as sue
cessful with your driving as you are
in your school studies. Here's wish
ing you lots of luck!
NEW LITERATURE BOOKS
Last week the liza English class
under the direction of Mr.. Farson, re-
ceived new literature books. The
name of the book is con the High
Road" by Henry Garland Bennett.
The class started by reading the
epic poem "Sohrab and Rustum" writ
ten by Matthew Arnold. 1t is the
story of a youth who parted from his
father at birth, spends most of his
time looking for him.
Young Sohrab aware that the
mighty Rustum, champion of the Per.
slams, is his father, allies himself with
the Tartar hosts who are at war with
the Persians, hoping that his owl
fame as a warrior will attract the at
tention of his father. Rustum, how
ever, thinks his offspring is mere
girl.
Sohrab, champion of the Tartars
challenges any Persian warrior to dc
battle upon the field of honor, uncon-
scious of the fact that Rustum is en-
camped with the enemy.
Rustum, unconquered hero, is ehos-
en- to defend the honor Of the Persians
and he strides incognito to meet the
brave young challenger.
Sohrab easily could have overpow-
cred Rustum at odd times during the

THE TUBERCULOSIS CHRISTMAS
SEAL

The idea of the tuberculosis Christ
mas Seal was started by Emily P
Bissel of the Delaware Red Gross
when she was asked to raise money
for an open-air shack, built by tsrue
Cling anti-tuberculosis society to helI
poor victims of the disease. This soc.
iety was in dire need Of $500 to keeI
going. "Why not try the seal idea?'
The Wilmington Red Cross then was
looked upon as sort of divine curse
about which little could be done. Ever
when New York City's Health Com
missioner tried to interest "a leading
doctors in a plan to fight it, % Of
them didn't answer his letter.
Thus it was that the stamps went
on sale, but at the close of the second
day the goal seemed distant. In des-
peration Miss Bissell took the train
for Philadelphia, hoping to enlist the
aid of the "North America" which
was popular in Wilmington.
The Sunday editor looked at the
stamps, couldn't quite see the kinship
between merry Christmas" and tub
erculosis. He was sorry. On her way
out Miss Brissel stopped at the desk
of the staff columnist to compliment
him on his work. He parted her kind
words by asking if he could do any
thing for her. No, thank you-she
had come to ask favor of the Sunday
editor. The favor? Out of her bag
came the sheet of seals.
The columnist stared. Then some
thing caused him to grab the sheet
dash downstairs to the office of E. A
Van Valkenburg and fling it on the
publishers desk, half shouting, "Here's
a way to wipe out tuberculosis"
A brief explanation. An answering

The Griffs hit as a Washington
team seldom has hit. Certainly
it put on display the greatest
power that this particular Wash.
ington club ever has shown to the
public.
They made 40 hits in piling up
a total of 81 runs, and those 40
belts were good for a total of SO
bases. The games were over
practically before they started in
each instance. In the first game
Washington had 10 runs in three
innings, and in the second game
Harris men scored seven runs in
the first four innings.
Sour Day for Browns
Twas a sour day indeed for St.

first game and three in the Sec
ond. Melo Armada, the sensa-
tional young outfielder, had a
field day, making half a dozen
hits including a home run. AL
mazda stepped into the ball and
polled it viciously throughout the
afternoon.
Cecil Travis did some right
timely batting, driving in six runs
with four hits. This was one of
the best days Travis ever had in
his life so far as knocking tallies
over the dish.
