THE EPITOME MARIO BERNARDIN I--Technical Meena, Berny, Camera Man Silver Scholarship Buttong Class Base Ball, 2g Class Foot Ball, 23 Philos, 3, 41, Camera Club, 3, 43 Secretary, 4. Lo, the countenance thus displayed is that of our scholar Meeno, the future camera man of Reading and Hollywood. 'tMeeno may be seen on any holiday out in the woods with a pack of films on his back and toting a camera. Because of his ability to hold a camera, Berny has been the official foot ball photographer. But Meeno has not been too faithful to his craze, as can be seen by the scholarship button he proudly displays. XVell, Meeno, we are certain that you will attain that success in the line in which you are most intersted. FREDERICK J. BERTOLET-Lat. Scientific Fred, Freddie Gold Barg Class Day Committeeg Rosalie French Play, Philos, 2, 3 4-g Secretary, ft, Pennant Ticket Sale Award, Senior Assembly Coinmiteeg Stamp and Coin Club, Senior Play, Treasurer, 2, 3, President, 415 Lit- erary Editor Red and Black. Behold our Democrat! Here is the second VVilliam Jennings Bryan. Can he argxue? Ask the teachers about his marks and find out. Fred is also one of the famous Philos, hav- ing been secretary so long that itlwould seem strange not to see his handsomeC?j counte- nance at the desk. Ile has also held quite a few offices in the stuttering Stamp Society. Althougrh Fred is the youngest member of his class, he is not so in wisdom. Despite his desire to learn his marks, Fred has been a really good boy. He intends to go to Law- renceville Prep. and thcn to matriculate at Harvard. The best of Wishes, Fred, RICHARD GEORGE BEYERLE- Technical Dick, Barrel, Gawge Philos, 1, 2, 3, 43 Camera Club, 1, 2, 3g Thespians, -1-. Behold, ladies and gentlemen, this intelli- gent and studious looking scholar. Dick has very kindly condescended to allow the fair class of '26 June to graduate with him. One of his boasts is that he was the highest of the Hunks last year. Did you ever see Gawge's Ford? He says it was a good one, but doubt it, since he tied it together and polished it up and traded it in for the old 1910 model Buick. VVhen not out at Baclfs, Dick can most always be found in the neighborhood of Seventeenth and Perkiomen Avenue until his brother comes for him, On the whole 'fDick is a Hne fellow and 9 g' , I liked by all. Goodbye, Dick Good luck. ' - Q, UU I 1 f .1..:' N X . Qi, if if fl if 7 0, ., E oor ss -..q.- ,. , V

F' 4:15. 1 L.. V Ilqllvqn . htn. w ith THE EPITOME THOMAS BARNETT-Latin Scientific Barney, Tom, Prunes Salutatoriang Gold Bar Scholarship, Student Council, 2, 3. The above is not a rare old tintype of Napoleon, but a photo of 'gTom's twin brother Che is too shy to posej. Barney is one of the class' shining light in scholarship and conductC?j. '4Prunes is excellent in Latin, and Mr. Cassell calls on him by acci- dentf?J every time anyone visits the class. In his spare minutes you can see him poking livers and cats in the Biology Lab. It is whispered that he gets his pocket money as middleman between Mr. Shultz and market selling cats. In spite of his faults, Tom is going to be a great surgeon some day, and he will leave the world better than he found it. He is the finest of the fine, and he will make good. ARTHUR W. BECHTEL-Latin Scientific uBecky,n uBeck,n uArtn Silver Scholarship, Last Senior As- sembly Committeeg Motto -Commit- teeg Operettag Philos, 2, 3, 4, Prop- erty Man, 443 Stamp and Coin, 2, 3, Camera, 2, 3, 44g Vice President, 4, Orchestra, 2, 3, 4-g Debating, 4-. Behold the imposing forehead of this un- tamed Wildcat. He is the most quietC?J and unassumingfiij man in the class. VVhenever loud noises are heard issuing forth from a Philo meeting, we may at once surmise that 'tBecky is doing his stuff. Never is it wise to debate with him, unless you have on some old clothes, for he becomes quite vicious on such occasions. He has only one serious fault-that of being in the company of Mr. Frantz. Nevertheless, he is going to be a physician, and we know that he will become famous by discovering some new method of killing a cat or some other important thing. Well, show Michigan what you can do, and good luck. GRANT BECHTEL-General Scientific Ice, General Grant is one of our handsomest productions -one look is sufficient--and to add to his attractions, he uses the class' most violent perfume. Sometimes he gets barred from the lunch room. But, of course, he never gets close enough to the girls to let them smell it. The above was taken in his ex- treme youth, so you can't form any idea of his magnetic beauty today. Grant is a great scientist, and you may see him working at science, but never at anything else. In spite of himself, he is going to make good. S0 long, Grant, and the best of luck.

Q ' ' 5 -Q '1 Q53 f lue l l THE EPITOME STANLEY BIBBUS-Commercial Stan, Bibbie This is Station R-H-S broadcasting and the above is the radio photo of Stanley Bibbus, no more, no less. The prestige of his name connected with this magazine has redoubled the sale. Bibbie is one of our best com- mercial students, and you will often see his name prominent among those on the Honor Roll. In spite of his noble and austere coun- tenance, he just escaped being the one short trousered boy to graduate. Stan thinks and-sh-h-h-sometimes speaks in shorthand. He is one of our greatest sharks in that dark art. Bibbie holds several perfect attend- ance certificates and always plugs away steadily at the job. His kind forms the back- bone of our class. Good luck forever, Stan! MAX BLOOM-Commercial Bloomy Class Base Ball, 1, 2, 33 'Class Basket Ball, 415 Zelos, 44. Don't crowd, ladies. No, it isn't Rudolph Valentino-it is only Bloomy. Max, you must admit, is handsome, and oh! how he tries to dance. Every Friday night Maxie can be seen at the community dance, steering some demure maiden about the floor. During the week he practices by driving an old Ford around the streets, making collections. After graduation, Bloomy thinks he will have enough of the collections to go to Dickinson's Law School. Max has high ambitions, and we expect him to fulfill them, for he does almost anything he sets out to do. Auf wieder sehen.

Rah-h-h-h-h-! What's that? A gang of rum-runners? No, that is only Blum-ie starting forth the parade on his Dodgie-roast. Red is a frequent visitor at Harrisburg and spends many even- ings with Helen. Kudder is one of the famous Midgal Five, who are leading the Y. M. H. A. League. Cush-Shay also plays with the 'iUke Trio. Allah was a silvery- tongued Zelo. Well, Blumy,,' we are look- ing forward to see you star at Penn. QDon't miss any more would-be punts, however. Re- member to first manage to somehow or other meet the pigskin with your toe.j Good luck to you, old top!
