That's Lea. Always good-natured and ready to do a favor for anyone. Piano-playing is one of Lea's hobbies. She certainly can tickle the ivories and is much in demand at all places. What would the High School plays have been without her? Lea is rather fickle in her ambitions. She has always had trouble choosing among ad- mirers of the opposite sex. We never know what she likes and we believe that she doesn't either. At one time she was interested in artillery, especially a certain Cannon. Now, she is trying to decide between the study of Leaches and a nursing career. However, we believe she will choose the latter, the only obstacle being that all her patients will fall in love with her. Whatever her chosen work, we are sure she will be a great success. Here's wishing the best of luck to you, Lea, from the class of '28, A ltttle girl with eyes of blue, You seem quiet-but we know you.

Man has been with us since the first grade when we wore pig-tails and gingham dresses. She has proved to be a good sport through and through, and is always present when she sees a good time in store. Marion has a good line of Hsagacious crevices to spring at the right time and fur- nishes the laughs for all. She was gifted with a very laughable laugh which, when heard, is very contagious, especially in study hall. Marion makes friends very easily and has a score of them. A friend in need is a friend indeed, may very well apply to her, for she is generous with all her friends. She has established a good record along scholastic lines while in High School, forming a strong base for a successful life. Marion's ambition is to be a nurse, so that she may help others-the young doctors? She has been successful in her school work, and we hope she will be so as a nurse. Here's wishing you luck and a nice young doctor, Marion! ISI .

THE TALISMAN HOWARD COOK 1 Slim or Shorty D West Point, Pa. Born June 20, 1910 ELSIE V. COLBURN Lansdale, Pa. Born March 18, 1910 Kind and gentle, a friend to all- Who can it be but Elsie? Latin Club 111g Biology Club 1233 Reading Club 131 3 Chemistry Club 141 5 Glee Club 141 3 Class Treasurer 1255 Class Secretary 131. Elsie has been with us throughout the entire four years of our High School career. She has proved a very efficient student especially in mathematics. It is a common sight to see her sitting some- where back in the corner with about a half a tablet working out some difficult problem which the rest of us have not even the courage to tackle. She is always daring enough to under- tak? the most difiicult subject 1even Chemis- try . Elsie is one of the very few girls who does not have to worry about letting her hair grow, for her long tresses are the envy of many of us. Elsie's highest ambition is to become a nurse, and we are sure that she will make a good one because she is one of the most kind-hearted members of our class. Whatever she under- takes we know that her life will be a success. Good goods- Comes in small packages. Cooky entered our ranks in his Junior year. He has proved a valuable asset ever since-and how! No, it wasn't storming in the Typing Room, but Howard and a Hunter were discussing a topic of interest. . Slim intends entering the business world, where we hope he will meet every success. Whenever difiiculties confronted us, he would smile and relieve us of our worries. Such a will should keep Shorty on the straight and narrow road. Howard is an ardent lover of fishing, pets, and a Miss Adams 1especially the latterl. Many times he would come to school with one or two snakes in his pockets. This served to make him a Mystery Man in the estimation of his friends. ' Howard would be a hero, but the girls can- not adopt the habit of looking up to him. All together, R-a-a-y Cook!!! l7l

gf.-rg--. 1. -gg, 1 THE TALISMAN ADA FRITZ 1 Toots 1 MILDRED H. EVANS c6IMil!!D Lansdale, Pa. Born January 20, 1910 I could be better if I would, But it's awful lonesome being good. Latin Club 111, Secretary Biology Club 121, High School Play 1215 English Reading Club 131 : Librarian 12, 313 Senior Class Play 141g La Societe Francaise 141. Mildred came to us in the fourth grade from the big city of Philadelphia. What Philadel- phia lost, Lansdale gained! She is one of the most popular and most attractive girls in our class, being popular with both sexes. Wherever Mildred is, 'Tom is there also. These two certainly do quarrel, but you know that True love never runs smooth. Mil never participated in athletics, but she was a loyal supporter at many athletic meets. She is quite well-known for her dancing ability and is one of the best gigglers in our class. Mil was one of those lucky girls who did not cut her hair when shaved necks were in style, and now she laughs at the other girls who are troubled with Ubobbie pins. Mildred does not know what she will choose as her life's work, but we know she is sure to succeed. Here's health, wealth and happi- ness to you, Mil. 57 Kulpsville, Pa. Born July 12, 1910 t'Hang sorrow, care will kill d catg therefore let's be merry. Towamencin H. S.-Librarian 11,215 Class Treasurer 1113 Literary Society President 1113 Declamation Contest 1113 Track 11,213 High School Play 1115 Pianist 1213 Class President 1215 Literary Society Secretary 121, Lansdale H. S-Reading Club 131. Ada spent her first two years of High School at Towamencin. She came to join our ranks in her Junior year. She has a quiet disposi- tion and is never angry, but always has a smile of welcome for everyone she meets. Ada's common expression when she left school in the evening was, Gee, I have a lot to do tonight. The next morning when asked, how much she did, the general reply was heard, Nothing! I was out riding. Boy! I am tired. In spite of this she generally had her work completed by class time and almost always made good marks in her tests. She expects to be Someone's Stenog, but we don't believe she will hold her position very long, for perhaps Prince Charming will come her way before so many years. E91
