PN ' C THE TALISMAN LYDIA WILSON 1 Lid 1 Chalfont, Pa. Born February 6, 1911 Not famous or great, but a real, good sport. Latin Club 111 g Biology Club 121 5 High School Play 121 5 Reading Club 131 5 La Societe Francaise 141. Although Lydia is not a resident of Lans- dale, she has been a student of Lansdale High for the past four terms. She has always been studious and maintains a high average in all her classes. It's a common thing to hear less favored ones say, I got it from Lydia. The everlasting drill on proper English has caused a rebellion in her which accounts for the fact that Ain't and This Here remain promi- nent phrases in her speech. Lydia has always been interested in sports although she never took part in any school games. Her favorite sports are tennis and swimming. A , So far Lydia has not chosen her future work. She has always been successful, how- ever, and we feel sure she will continue her good work. The best we have to offer her is - Good luck and good cheer. RUTH M. WINSCH 1 Ruthie 1 Lansdale, Pa. Born December 13, 1910 True friendship is like sound healthy The value of it is seldom known until it is lost. Glee Club 12-3-415 Special Chorus 13-413 High School Operetta 1413 Reading Club 131. Ruth has been a faithful member of our class ever since the first grade. She is usually found studying. When fun and study interfere, study is predominant. However, much of a certain study period is spent in arguing with a certain girl. That girl is-well, who doesn't know. Ruth is fond of music, both vocal and in- strumental. She has decided to follow it as a career, but to all probability she will be Somebody's Stenogf' Here's wishing her all the success in the world. E251

THE TALISMAN Gllann Iflizinrg FRESHMAN YEAR When great men and women gather together, one always finds history in the making. In September, 1924, a new epoch of history began' with the arrival of a host of great- people in Lansdale High. To those who came before us we were not so great as some may suppose. Let those people recall their first days in high school. lsn't it true that a Freshman's most important question is Where is room --? The first event to attract our attention was the election of officers. The following students were elected to lead us through'our first year of trials: Russell Greulich, president: Thomas Roelofs, vice-presidentg Majorie Godshall, secretary, and Carolyn Rauch, treasurer. Mrs. Riding- ton was chosen as our class advisor. As members of the high school we were allowed three class represen- tatives for the Student Council. Those elected were Marjorie Godshall, Kermit Weand and Ellsworth Oberholtzer. We entered the social world with a party given in the gym. Mrs. Ridington and Mr. Bishop acted as chaperons, but lack of boldness on the part of the students made their job a trivial one. With the arrival of spring and sports many Freshmen stepped forth to try to make names for themselves as athletes. Some were successful but for most of them it was merely the beginning of a practice that makes perfect. In June the class held a picnic at Spring Mount. Again the chaperons were Mrs. Ridington and Mr. Bishop. With this event our first year closed. SOPHOMORE YEAR In September we came back to school with more knowledge and the first opportunity to witness a Freshman class at which we might laugh. Although we were more dignified, the faculty remembered our former behavior,'and we were notpermitted to organize until after mid-year exams. Added to this punishment, we were forbidden to initiate the new class, a thing which we all regretted. When we finally organized, the fol- lowing ofiicers were elected: Angemae West, president, Russell Greulich, vice-presidentg Beryl Harvey, secretary, and Elsie Colburn, treasurer. This year Mr. Bishop was chosen class advisor. Since nothing of importance took place except the purchase of class rings and the finals, we decided to break a well-established precedent. Hence we held our annual picnic at Memorial Park, Schwenksville. Some blame the several accidents on the rocky stream, but most agree that as good navigators some Sophs were minus a hundred per cent. Thus our second year in Lansdale High ended and we set forth to enjoy our vacation, feeling fully capable of becoming good Juniors the following term. ALMA WEBER, '28, E271
