THE TALISMAN MURRELL FUNK cflFunky!7, Lansdale, Pa. Born March 17, 1911 'lGood sense, which only is the gift from Heaven, And though no science, fairly worth the seven. Biology Club 1215 Radio Club 1315 Science Club 141. Crash! Bang! Oh! it's Funky and his Chevie. Murrell's census was first taken in Philadelphia. He soon saw, however, that the great struggle for existence was too much, and he immediately set sail for the wide open spaces of Lansdale and has spent the rest of his sentence here. Murrell is not athletically inclined but was a great supporter of all sports, offering his ever useful Chevie for transportation pur- poses. He also spends much of his time in rebuilding his car in order to make record breaking trips to Souderton. Murrell's ambition is to become an aviator. May the height of success be his. MARJORIE G.

Marjorie has always gotten along well in her studiesg just ask her how much she en- joyed Algebra 2! Margie has been active in many of the plays which the school has given and has taken part very well indeed. She has some weaknesses 1we would not call any of them detrimental, however1, but the one that predominates is her afiinity for Ford Coupes. Margie intends to become a school marm but we are afraid that she will be Held by an attraction that will prove stronger than her desire to impart knowledge to the future generation. We know that Marjorie will be a good teacher, if she does decide to make this her life workg and we wish her all possible success. E101

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.

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

Born October 22, 1909 '4She's quiet to those who don't know her well, Ent oh, her friends-what they could tell! U. G. H. S.-Relay Team 1215 Vice Presi- dent Class 1215 Secretary Reading Club 1219 School Play 1215 L. H. S.-Reading Club 1315 Glee Club 1415 Operetta 141. Marion began her school career in North Wales. However, deciding to attend the Upper Gwynedd School, she turned her steps thither while in the fourth grade. After the little yellow school-house had offered all it could, she joined the ranks of '28 at the beginning of her Junior Year. Marion enjoys dancing and her favorite pet is the nuke. Since she has pursued the commercial course, she says she will become Somebody's Stenogf' However, we are dubious. You see, Marion is interested in nature, and the phase of nature in which she is interested frequently causes people to change their mind. You see its Lanes. Yes, Lanes, of both genders. That is neuter 1moonlit, of course1 and mas- culine. Then, too-but you must ask her the res . Here's wishing her success in whatever she undertakes. When you hear the roll of the big bass drum, Then you will know that the Dutch have come.

While we were in the Eighth Grade, a big, blushing, bashful boy joined our ranks. He hailed from the burg of East Greenville, and to this day his unfortunate classmates must listen to his extolling the virtues of that town. This was the person whose photograph adorns this page. He soon got acquainted, and ever since that day he has stuck closer than a poor relation. When a band was organized, Russ felt that it was his duty to grace it with his pres- ence, hence we soon found Russell parading along in the front rank, and he has paraded there ever since. The band would sound hol- low indeed without his lusty tooting on the trombone or the baritone. Russ has never fallen victim to the wiles of the girls of Lansdale. Probably the re- membrance of the females of East Greenville is too great. At any rate, he makes weekly trips to that place, and we can imagine his toting around some buxom Dutch lassie. Russ expects to be an electrical engineer, and we understand that he intends to blow up the Lansdale Power Plant just to find some- one who will employ him. Good luck. 1111
