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.

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.

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

THE EPITOME JOHN BOUSSUM-General Scientific Jack, Hecker Zelos, 4-. Hail! Hail! Look at him. It's not often we get so great a privilege as this. A real piece of art. Johnny didn't like the girls at Cressona, so he decided to attend Reading High, and was terribly disappointed to dis- cover that R. H. S. is not co-ed. Johnny is so used to riding on trains that he sleeps going and coming, and this probably accounts for his coming to school in a fog. One of Boussum's many accomplishments is the art of smoking a pipe. He has just learned to blow rings past his nose and is extremely proud of his feat. Johnny doesn't know what he'll do after he graduates, but, what- ever he does, we wish him luck! HOWARD E. BOYER-Latin Scientific Curly, Pud, Buck, Ain-lale Gold Bar Scholarship, Class Secre- tary, 2g Cross Country, 4-g Track Manager, 3, 4-5 'Class Foot Ball, 3, Philos, 1, 2, 3, 443 Vice President, 4-3 Stamp and Coin Club, 2, 3, 4-5 Ex- change Editor lted and Black. Here comes Curly, at the end of his four- year race. Puri is, as usual, among the lead- ers in this as in every other race. Curly is active in all school privileges. He is secretary of the Stamp and Coin Club, as well as Vice President of the Philos. Curly has long been one of our best long distance runners, and has brought home many medals for the school. Buck is track manager, and finds time to earn a gold bar along with his other activi- ties. The ladies all admire his curly hair. He goes to Swarthmore, and we wish him lots of luck. VVhat won't those co-eds do to him! EARLE JOHN BRENEMAN-Commercial Brenny, HE. John Class Secretary, 1g Class Ring and Pin 'Committeeg Varsity Swimming, 1, 2, 3, 4-3 Class Track, 1, 2, Cross Country, 25 Philos, 3, 4, Class Foot Ball, 25 Class Scrap, 1, Hi-Y, 2, 35 Camera, 2. Now, here is that different fellow. You know, Brenny is an actor and actors are in demand these days, especially for shows like the Tall Cedars' Frolic. Brenny wants to make a great name for himself. Yet it makes us wonder before the eyes of which sex he wishes to become popular, Earl is a swim- mer, but one cannot earn money swimming, so Earl is either going to be a contractor or an undertaker. Well, Brenny, old top, we hate to see you leave the old gang, but we well know that some day we will be mighty proud of you. x t ii Q ri -Q
