8 Maroon and White FRANCES E. BARRACLIFFE C'FRANCY J Lansdale, Pa. She who can wear a happy smile And have it look becoming, And have in stock a hearty laugh, Has happy times a-coming. Born May 31, 1908. History Club 131, High School Play 143. Frances surely is one of the charter members of our class, for she has been with us ever since the first grade. She has the distinction of possessing a professional class giggle, which can be heard at any time, especially between classes and in the halls. She is always present when she sees a good time in store. She loves to dance, especially the Charleston. Frances is taking the Commercial course: her ambition is to be a stenographer. It is rather difficult to predict just what she will do, although she says nothing will interfere with her aims. Because of her attraction for the male sex, we cannot tell how long her stenographic career will last. In whatever she attempts, may she be a success.

Maroon and White 7 I HERBERT E. BARNDT 1 BARNEY 1 Lansdale, Pa. His heart is light within him, lads, Whatever 'wind doth blow. Born February 5, 1908. Baseball 11, 2, 3, 4, Capt. 3, 41, Basketball 12, 31, Football 12, 3, 41, Track 13, 41, Hi-Y Club, Secretary History Club 131 Boys' A. A. Sec. 141, Vice-President, Bux-mont League 141, Dramatics 13, 41, Class Play 13, 41, Glee Club 11, 2, 31, Special Chorus 131. Although Barney first saw the light of day in Philadelphia, he1?1 decided that a wide-awake town like Lansdale was a better place to live than in a large city, and so at the age of six, he entered the Broad St. School. He has the distinction, divided among few in our class, of being taught solely in Lansdale Schools. Barney's abilities are varied. In athletics, he shines in baseball and has won favor in football, basketball and track. No play has been complete in the last two years without his being in the cast. Barney's successful attempts at entertainment are not limited to the stage for when the opportunity presents itself in the class-room, his efforts are appreciated by the rest of us, although, strange to say, our teachers do not seem to share the same opinion. Barney intends to enter the business world, and we believe that his endeavors will prove successful, especially since he has the encourage- ment of a certain member of the opposite sex.

M aroon and White 9 BETTY BATEMAN Lansdale, Pa. All pleasure is innocent. Born April 26, 1908. Glee Club Q3-45, Art Play 431, High School Play 13-41, Commercial Club 135. When Betty joined our ranks four years ago, she made many lasting friends because of her sweet disposition and her winning smiles. She is very popular with the opposite sex, but we are sure that there is only one for whom she really cares. We must remember that Betty lives out of town and must come by trolley and this oftentimes necessitates hurryingg however, she is very seldom late fnot more than four or five times a monthj. When any one hears the phrase Now listen, kids, don't be alarmed. It is only Betty trying to put something across. , Betty is not able to keep her feet still when she hears a piano because you know she is a Char1estoner and a fine one at that. No wonder she looks sleepy some mornings. Her main ambition is to be Somebodys' Stenogf' but there is slight hope of being a bookkeeper. Here's wishing her every success. in whatever she undertakes.
