A. 1435 Hi-Y K3-45, President Mig Art Club C215 Vice President of Class C459 Science Club fljg Gym Ehibition C2-4-lg Glee Club 12-41. Phew! Isn't that terrible? Of course, it's good- natured 4'Stan Fretz. This popular senior was born and educated in Lansdale. Stan is very popular among his classmates and had the honor bestowed upon him of being the football captain during his senior year. He is always ready with some funny remark, but he also can he serious and appreciate the fine things in life, as his friends who accompanied him on the Washington trip will testify. ,lust ask him how he liked the Crand Opera. My stars! Stan is not certain what he will do when he leaves high school, but he hopes to enter college. I'm sure that we all wish him the best of luck and success in anything he attempts. 1 VIVIAN CLAIRE GERHART lfvivff Lansdale, Pa.-january 2, l9i8 Basketball fllg Hockey C215 Tri-Hi-Y C3-43. When there is giggling to be done, this fair damsel can do it. She excels in make-up and if she forgets it, she makes up to the boys. She was recently Cook- ed up but now she has become u gigolo for awhile, tho' not for long. This girl is the one and only Claire Gerhart. Her pastime is dancing, and she is always seen on the floor at noon dancing away until the bell brings her back to school. Claire has an idea she wants to study merchandising. We donit mind if you do that, Claire, but don't go buying up orchestras or 5 and 10's. Anyway, we are all rooting for you and hope you will come out on top witl1 flying colors. ERNEST L. GODSHALK Ernie Kulpsville, Pa.-january 2, l9lB Track UU. Ernie is another one of the famous products of the Kulpsville schools. He is somewhat quiet in class, but outside, oh! what a difference. He is one of the track team's stars, running the 'Lhalf and broad- jumping. He is very studious, as one can readily see by looking at his A's , and he has one weakness. You guess. Ernie is undecided as to what he is going to be, but we think he ought to be a chauffeur or go into the taxi business, for he has had plenty of experience, gained from chauilering those Kulpsville lads to school. But whatever he does we do wish him loads of success. Page Tfwfrzty-right

GEORGE FRANKLIN ENGLES, Jr. Inks - Flash Lansdale, Pa.-February I3, l9I7 George has always gone to school in Lansdale. During his I-ligh School career he has worked after school and Saturday, so he has new-r found time to enter school activities since he was Captain of the Safctly Patrol when '35 was a class of struggling Freshmen. In spite of lnks ' business career outside of school, he must find time for lessons because he actually seems to know what it's all about. George is the Blond Mystery Mun of the Seniors. Our private detectives can't find a thing about his hobbies, inner life, and secret ambitions. We do know he takes two young ladies from the Junior Class riding noons and after school. Maybe that's his hobby. If Hager's tunrs to 'ilfngh-s' Men's and Boy's Cloth- ing, we'll know Inks is a success at last. ALMA ELIZABETH FISHER Worcester, Pa.1November 3, l9l7 Clce Club fl-21: Operetta 121. Alma lives quite a distance outside of Lansdale, yet she seldom misses u day of school. She teamed up with L'35 in her Junior year, choosing Lansdale in preference- to Norristown. Alma receives good schol- astic recognition and actually seems to enjoy school: anyway, one seldom hears her grouch about any- thing. Her attention is quite well held outside of Lansdale but shc's quite secretive about it and we don't have u chance to get the inside dope on him. Alma is a great girl: her best feature is her adapl- ability. shc seems to fit in with everyones current mood. Her chosen profession is nursing, and she should be quite a success because she has what it takes in the way of disposition and character for it. RICHARD FREDERICK Dick Lansdale, Pa.-November I3, l9l7 Basketball Q3-453 Baseball K2-3-41g Glce Club C415 Gym Exhibition 12-3-43. Dick has been with the class from the beginning of its history. He's the small chap with black hair, who flashed on the basketball court and baseball diamond. 'LDick is frcquctly seen driving around in his futher's Ford with a load of fellows and girls. He is the originator of many a laugh and even in class he's the first to respond to thc teaoher's joke NJ with a hearty laugh. From all reports, he enjoyed the trip to Washington. As for fcmininc passions, we don't know where his special interest lies, but he docs have a varied list of dates. Who knows-? However, we understand that he has been visiting Ambler with a number of other local fellows of late. His future is undetermined, but wherever he goes, he has the class's wishes for success.

Her dominant, passions are red shoes, dancing, swim- ming: and journalism. Next year she hopes to study this last at Syracuse, N.
