. , 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.

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

THE TALISMAN DONALD ROBERT LEACH 1 Uncle Tom, Toby 1 Lansdale, Pa. ' Born December 4, 1910 Where is my wandering boy tonight?

Toby IS a jolly good fellow, and he puts lots of life in the crowd. Lessons are generally the least of his worries. We are all accused of having crushes at one time or another. Now it is Toby's turn, and she sure can tickle the ivories. He is quite interested in sports. Although he is too small to be a dashing fullback he's a dandy midget basketball player. Like the rest of the Leaches he's a bulldog for punishment and a good sport through all. Toby is not sure just what he will do after school but we know he will crush his way effectively. Best wishes, Don! ELSA H. LANCIANO CLEIUJ Lansdale, Pa. Born March 8, 1910 She's always jolly, bright and gay, With friends enough to throw away. English Club 1113 Biology Club 1213 High School Play 11, 2, 3, 413 Reading Club 1313 Glee Club 141. El was born in Philadelphia and received the first eight years of her education there3 but, realizing her mistake, she quickly moved to Lansdale and joined our ranks in the Freshman year. She is popular with all her classmates, espe- cially those of the opposite sex, because she is a jolly good fellow, always on hand when there is any fun to be had. When the students of Lansdale High hear a squeak in the hall, they know that it is not a mouse. Oh, no! Somebody is just after Elsa's t'cklish rib. The best way to get a secret out of her is to touch her ribs. Elsa loves dancing and displayed her abil- ity with Josie, her soft shoe partner, in All Aboard. She loves to play the violin, and the soft, sweet, tones which iioat from her win- dow bring tears to the neighbors' eyes. 1Ag0ny.1 , , , El established a good standing in her high school career. We are certain that will assist her in her future work. Here's luck to you, Elsa. We hope you will be successful in anything you may undertake. E181
