She has been a faithful member throughout our twelve years of hard work. She has a very pleasing personality which wins her many friends, especially those of the opposite sex. Josie is a good sport and is quite capable of taking a joke as well as giv- ing one. When it comes to laughing and talk- ing, she never takes a back seat. These latter characteristics make her a great favorite with the study hall teachers, especially Mr. Boughter. Josie is quite a dancer, and everyone likes to have a chance to dance with her. We all remember the great hit she made as a soft shoe dancer in the play, All Aboard. It wouldn't surprise us at all if, later, we heard of her as a great dancer. ' Here's luck to you, Josie. We know that yolu will succeed in anything you may under- ta e. fourth As we of her were the least of my worries. Apparently Ruth does not worry about anything. May she always have that attitude toward life. 'However, she is very clever in taking her own part in the Typewriting Room, especially when it comes to a certain person. Ruth is an expert in bookkeeping, as almost every one knows, although she is not fond of stenography. She has set her mind on being an accountant and bookkeeper. We all wish her the best of success in that line, and that her books may be free from crossed-out figures. E161

L e4sesd?- THE TALISMAN ETHEL HUNSBERGER West Point, Pa. Born August 19, 1910 Modest, studious, yet merry withal. U. G. H. S. Declamation 1115 Captain of Magazine Campaign 1113 Relay Team 121g School Play 121, President of Literary Club 121 3 Lansdale High School Reading Club 1313 La Societe Francaise 141. Ethel went to Upper Gwynedd for ten years. She graduated from there with highest honors, but not feeling satisfied with her training, she came to join the ranks of '28 in search of higher education, and she certainly has proved an addition to our class. She has several hobbies, and one ofithem is, believe it or not, strumming the Nuke. She likes outdoor life and camping. Ethel also enjoys hiking, especially about Washington??? Ethel plans to be a history teacher. We are sure she would make a good one, but she is an excellent cook so-we wonder? Whatever she does, we know it will be done well and we wish her happiness. DOROTHY E. HUNTER 1 Dot 1 Lansdale, Pa. Born August 8, 1910 As merry as the day is long. Spanish Club 1215 Art Club 121, Art Play 121 3 High School Play 13, 41. Dorothy truly is as merry as the day is long for she is very good natured and jolly. Dot came to us from the Upper Gwynedd School and immediately became a welcome member. Although Dorothy never participated to any great extent in sports, she is greatly interested in athletics. Dorothy will probably be someone's 'stenog, and a good one, we assure you. However, Dot seemed to have a very good time coming home from Washington, so we don't know for sure whether she will enter the business world or not. To use the time-worn expression we wish her the best of luck in whatever she undertakes. K 1151

. , wb 'f+'?'54 THE TALISMAN PEARL KULP 1 Kulpie 1 Kulpsville, Pa. Born August 31, 1910 Happy and free with no care for the morrow, She scatters dull care and banishes sorrow. Towamencin H. S.-Librarian 11,215 Lit- e ary Society Treasurer 1113 Literary Editor 111 Relays 11,215 Class Treasurer 1215 Lansdale H S.-Reading Club 1313 La Societe Francaise 141. Pearl came to join us in her Junior year. She was very quiet in her Junior year with us but in her Senior year became better acquainted with her classmates. On Monday mornings we could often hear her exclaim, Oh! I am tired! We wonder why don t you, Pearl? Before a test she could always be found in school early in the morning studying, but how much she achieved is hard to tell, because gen- erally she could be found chatting with some friend about the night before. Pearl doesn't know what she wishes to spe- cialize in after she is through school, but we believe it will be in Domestic Science sooner HALLAM KOONS 1 Thunderb0lt 1 Lansdale, Pa. Born August 26, 1911 'ilu this world a man 'must be either anvil or hammer. Spelling Team 141. If Great Neck, L. I., had been Little Neck, we could have known Thunder's true origin. As it is, we have to take his word for it that he came from the Bronx. As proof of this, however, he occasionally lapses into the dialect in English class. He rectified his mistake by coming to Lansdale High in our Junior Year. Hallam is ordinarily a mild-mannered youth, but at such times when he isn't you may be sure that the subject of the dispute is either little- neck clams or girls. Hallam is a very capable youth. He can translate Cicero, bawl out waiters, drink ice coffee, any time or place, brag about his Willys-Knight and make Pick- Up 1especially hotel1 dates. Koons had a hard job overcoming his bash- ful reserve, but after he got started!!! Koons always gets good grades in his sub- jects and intends to study law in Muhlenberg. Good luck to you, Koons. E171
