THE TALISMAN GEORGE WOODWARD LEACH cuBudnJ Lansdale, Pa. Born October 10, 1908 Basketball 11, 2, 3, 415 Captain 12, 415 Manager 1315 Football 11, 2, 3, 415 Captain 1415 Baseball 12, 3, 415 Captain 1315 Track 12, 3, 415 Vice President Class 12, 315 Senior Play 1415 Junior-Senior Play 1315 High School Play 12, 3, 415 Glee Club 12, 31. Bud is one of the best athletes of the school. He is an all around star, having achieved honor in all four of the major sports. Bud has a fiery temper, and the saying is that When Leach gets mad the dirt flies. Bud played center on the football team, guard on the basketball team, pitched on the baseball team, and was our miler on the track team. Of course, the athletic field is not Bud's only field of achievement. Wild tales are told of his exploits in the field of love, and we have a faint suspicion that this is why he spends so much of his time in Montgomeryville. We feared, after our annual conquest of the capitol, that another town would enter his field, but, as yet, there is no definite development. However, time will tell. Bud says that work is his place when he leaves school. Whether or not he will sling bread or balls we can't tell, but, whatever he does, we are assured that success will be his reward. ' R-a-y, Bud, DORIS LOMAN Lansdale, Pa. Born August 10, 1911 'Cause I's wicked-I is. I's mighty wicked, anyhow I can't help it. Latin Club 1115 Biology Club 1215 Reading Club 12-315 Spanish Club 1315 High School Play 13-415 Glee Club 1415 Special Chorus 141 5 Art Club 141 5 Class Song. v Doris is a charter member of our class, hav- ing been with us ever since she entered school. She is very popular, having friends of both sexes. She is very well adapted along the lines of music. She plays the piano and sings very well. Her ability as an actress became evident when she took a leading part in the high school play for two years. Her favorite pastime is eating and drawing caricatures. She is very humorous and enjoys writing poetry. Give Doris something to eat, a piece of paper, and a pencil, and she will be satisfied. Her favorite expression is, Do you have anything to eat? Doris expects to enter Syracuse University next fall and study a course in art. She is determined to be a famous artist, and she says that we shall be proud to have her name written in our autograph albums. So here's luck to Doris and her art. l19l

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

Who never heard of him? Who never spoke to him? Who doesn't know him? Absolutely no one. Was there ever any activity in the school which Deacon Morris wasn't in? Was there any plan or idea which the Deacon didn't help to carry out? Absolutely none. Sometimes we of the Senior Class wonder how it is that the Deacon can be in so many scholastic activities and still keep up his standard as a scholar. Vice President of the Student Council, Base- ball Manager, President of the Literary So- ciety, Literary Editor of the TALISMAN3 Alternate on the Debating Team, member of the Spelling Team, a member of the Senior Play, in one year.

Now she is one of the most popular girls in our class. Did we say our class? Well, let us add that her popularity is not con- fined to the Senior Class alone, but also to a certain person in the Junior Class. If you are interested concerning that Junior's identity, consult the Junior President. Eunie is very fond of music. She plays the piano very well, and, although she does not play any band instrument, she is very much interested in a Horn, Eunice expects to attend college next yearg and, although she is uncertain of her future work, nevertheless, we feel confident that she will continue to be popular in whatever she undertakes.
