THE TALISMAN 0 HARRY E. SPROGELL Lansdale, Pa. Born December 5, 1911 ROBERT HAMILTON SLOAN cHB0bNJ Lansdale, Pa. Born September 6, 1910 Slow and steady wins the prize. French Club 12-313 English Club 1315 Orchestra 131. After various peregrinations about the schools of Lansdale, with a side trip to Staun- ton Military Academy, this infant Paderewski finally cast his lot with the class of '28 in the Junior year. Since then he has been on the class roll, much to the despair of the treas- urers, whose duty it has been to pry his class dues from him. Unfortunately, he has not mingled very much with the other students and is not so well-known as he might be. As implied above, Bob is an expert musi- cian, but he has not stooped to display. his talent to the students of the high school. Every day he practices vigorously, variedly, and viciously. Robert intends to follow the footsteps of Paderewski, Moskowski, Pachmann, Rach- maninoff, Tschaikowsky, and Hoffman. The name Sloan seems out of place in this catalog of jaw-breakers, but we suggest that Bob cultivate a musician's hair-cut, and adopt an alias. We wish him all the luck in the world, hammering out harmonies on his Ivers and Pond piano. And ah, for a man to rise in fme, - . That the man I am may cease to be.

Harry is one of the charter members of our class having been with us ever since the first When the call for band candidates was issued Harry responded and now the band would sound hollow and weak without the strange weird squeaks issuing from his Harry has been one of our best debaters for the last two years. His sarcastic and con- vincing arguments, which he used to good ad- vantage were developed in the classrooms of Lansdale High School, much to the dismay of the teachers. Harry intends to 'go 'to Swarthmore next year to study law. We know he will make a good lawyer. Here's to your success. E221

Tom is one of Lansdale High's athletes, but here again he owes all his ability to the fair sex, for we know that he received all his training running back and forth from his home to a little double house about three blocks away. Nevertheless, Tom is also something of a student. Proof of this lies in the fact that Mr. Boughter has often requested his pres- ence and-absence. Tom is thinking of becoming a dentist. We wish him all possible luck, and may his slogan be- Bigger and Better Cavities. She seldom thinks of anythinguith more earnestness than she does of dinner.

' , Carolyn registered here in Lansdale with the rest of us. We sometimes doubt about the uregistering. From a quiet girl with long curls she has passed through all the stages of colffures and has returned to long tresses rininus the curls. She is one of the most popu ar gir s in our class. She is willing to do most anything for you and keep her B1ll. Take it from us, she's right there. All of Carolyn's interest in athletics did not expire in 1926, for since then she has taken an active part in basketball. She is also fond of swimming and riding. In Washington, Carolyn made frequent visits to the Willard Hotel. She has drawn the conclusion that the name means every- thing. Carolyn is going to take a trip to EETODB this sunimer, and we know she'll make a it in aris. on voyage. She is not sure of her career, but we know it will lbe an interesting one. Best wishes, Caro yn. 1211

THE TALISMAN L. PEARL TYSON cnrlwipsvb West Point, Pa. Born May 27, 1911 The girl who is earnest and diligent is prepared foo' all things. Spring City High School: Omega Society 115 g Lansdale High School: Biology Club 1255 Spanish Club 1355 Reading Club 135. Pearl came to us in our Sophomore year from Spring City High School. She has evi- dently taken a liking to us, for she has remained with us for the last three years of her high school career. Tip, as she is more commonly known, is one of the youngest and smallest members of our class. She finds great delight in reading books, even to the neglect of Trig. Lang- uages are among the subjects in which she is most interested, especially Spanish. Although Pearl is very quiet, she is always ready to join in the fun with the rest of us when the occasion presents itself. She has never shown much interest for the opposite sex, but, you know, you never can tell! Pearl has not yet decided upon her life work, but whatever she may undertake we know that she will be successful. Here's wishing you luck, Pearl! MORRIS T. WALTERS, JR. 1 Bub or Morrie 5 Montgomeryville, Pa. Born March 26, 1910 He thinks too mnchg such men are dangeronsf, Biology Club 115 English Club 115, Rep- resentative Typist 145. Morrie came to Lansdale High School in his Freshman year. Since then he has come through with honors in his studies. He is especially well noted for his original and tender English compositions. Whether his brawn came from pitching hay or not is a matter for conjecture, but if you wish to know how strong he is, just shake hands with him. He is a quiet, serious young fellow, but under this very serious exterior lies a great deal of mischief which comes to the top when the girls are around. Morrie says he doesn't care for the girls, but we wonder??? Especially when he is Hiking with that blonde in Montgomeryville. Who?'?? Ask him, he knows. 'Morrie expects to be a bookkeeper or a stenographer someday. Here's to you, Morrie, may all'your pencil points break. E231
