THE TALISMAN Uhr will nf the Qllaaa nf 1523 Know all men by these presents that we, the class of nineteen-hundred twenty-eight, having been duly ejected from Lansdale High School, being in a repentant state of mind, and being sound of neither mind nor body, do make and publish this, our first, last, and only will and testament, thereby setting aside all other statements, mental, verbal, or written, and therein disposing of all our possessions which we do not Want, or which are of no use to us! In all good faith we make the following bequests: We bequeath to Henry Worthington Francis Morris' ability to look and act like a combination of President Coolidge and Mussolini. Mildred Evans leaves her singing ability to Dorothy Rosenberger. We leave Lydia Wilson's ingenious and never-before-heard-of gram- matical constructions to Miss Sigafoos, as a shining example of what four years of high school English will do. We will Thomas Roelofs' shy and retiring manner to William Miller. We present Elsie Colburn's raucous voice to Elsie Mitchell so that she may inform people that she is present. , Ada Fritz leaves her extreme talkativeness to Ruby Kemp. Long may she rave. We donate the toys and the original English compositions of Harold Cannon to Charles Prokopy. We leave Elsa Lancianofs dancing ability to Elizabeth Reese. To Marcus Moyer we bequeath Ethel Hunsberger's voice to enable the teachers to hear him when he recites. Mered Hoff is the fortunate recipient of six of Howard Cook's old suits. Josephine Kavash gives her extra avoirdupois to Miss Williamson in order that the latter may qualify for the heavyweight championship. We donate Pearl Tyson's vampish ways to Doris Evans, knowing that this will add to her repertoire. We present to Kathryn Rodgers the poise and graceful carriage of Russell Carver. Pearl Kulp leaves her poetic ability to Elizabeth Held so that THE TALISMAN need never lack material in the future. We bequeath Doris Loman's laconic brevity and attention in class to Edna Sames so that the latter's marks may be improved. Morris Walters' ability to neck is freely given to George Moyer, with no restrictions. We will Marion Detwiler's mathematical ability to George Snyder so that he may know that two plus two equals four. Ruth Winsch's love for the world, her cheerfulness, and her optimism are bequeathed to Maggie Linden. We present the good looks and winning ways of Robert Sloan to Richard Harner. The sophistication of Ruth Kenderdine is passed on to Anna Neiburg. Carolyn Rauch wills her Russian boots to Warren Allem to cure his rheumatism. We leave Bud Leach's absolute ignorance of football to Alvin Alderfer, so that the latter may no longer trouble his parents. l31l

THE TALISMAN We bequeath to Mary Thomas the ability of Dorothy Hunter to break seats merely by sitting on them. Let the School Board take heed and reenforce all the creaking seats in the building. Leonore Detwiler's soft playing is willed with full directions to Warren Cresson. He needs it. We present Hallam Koons' fondness for Little Neck clams and his heart-smashing qualities to George Knoll. Erma Heavener's daintiness and mincing step go to her sister Oliene so that they may stay in the family. To Bessie Maurer we bequeath Charlotte Hartman's utter aloofness to the boys. We will Donald Leach's hearty masculine qualities to Bruce Beveridge in hope that these will make him more successful in his love affairs. Marion Graves' West Point beaux are left to whoever wants them. We appoint Louis Burichka to serve in the capacity of official chauffeur to the high school, which position Russell Greulich is thankfully vacating. We present Alma Weber's curling iron to Dorothy Swartley. We bequeath Marjorie Godshall's table manners and tremendous appetite to Elinor Hoffman. We leave the lady-killing ability of Dennis Hufnagle to Samuel Cassel, Jr., that he may become the lion of his class. We give to Margaret Custer Myrtle Hollenbach's power to snare the unsuspecting male-to be taken in small doses. We bequeath the excessive liking which Eunice Prouse has for Economics to next year's Economics class as a star to which they may hitch their wagon. We point to Murrell Funk's neat appearance as an example to the Juniors. To all the shiny-nosed underclassmen we leave Beatrice Hager's compacts. We leave to Pop Anson all the shavings from Beryl Harvey's pencils. These should make good kindling wood. To next year's Seniors we leave the ability of the class of '28 to enter- tain the Souderton girls on the Washington trip. They musn't get lonely! To the Sophomores we leave all our faultsg also all our red marks, waste paper, deck inscriptions, and other decorations. To the thundering horde of incoming Freshmen, we leave only that lovely sentiment, which high school so effectively disproves, that Stone walls do not a prison make. To the teachers we leave the pleasant memories of our four-year stay in high school, including the pleasure of keeping us in. To the under-classmen in general we leave the vicious circle of Mrs. Hoff's iron-clad diet. We advise that they get copper lining to pre- vent interior corrosion. We leave them Miss Williamson's tender admoni- tions, and we bequeath to these unfortunates the frequent intelligence tests and interesting moralizings of their principal. We also willingly pass on the weekly auditorium programs. To witness which we have hereunto set our hand and seal this eight- eenth day of the sixth month, nineteen-hundred twenty-eight. ANGEMAE WEST, T HARRY E. SPROGELL. Signed, sealed, and delivered in the Eastern Penitentiary, County of Density, State of Ignorance, in our presence. LITTLE EVA, UNCLE ToM. E321
