, L-T.i r - ..,, 'NN C ..,., ' i'- tire THE EPITOME DAVID HARRISON DICKINSON- Technical Dave, Dick, Dickey, Davey Class Basket Ball, 3, Pennant Playg Camera Club, 4-. Although the photographer had some trouble in .photographing Dave,', we man- aged to persuade him to print his picture. Perhaps Kitty will regard this as one of her most valuable possessions. At the ad- vent of his graduation, Dick', expects to be a linotypist. If numerous mistakes occur in later editions of the newspapers, we will at once realize that Davey, the linotypist, was the cause. Generally speaking, we feel that David will reach his mark in the printing world, even though ,tis only a quotation. f'Dave', was an outstanding fellow in his class, and he will maintain this position in the busi- ness world. Go to it, Davey, and print your way to success. JOHN D. DOUROS-Technical Fat, whiskers, Silent Hi-Y Club, 3, 415 Radio Club, 3, 4-g Tech Club, 3g Class Base Ball, 1. Out of the silence a deafening roar is heard. Be calm, citizens, 'tis only Silent Douros in the distance devouring his prey. Although Fat has not been an ardent trackman during his usefulC?j career in this school, he holds the record for the length of the Practical Arts Building. CHe was closely pursued by a mal- let, hurled by one of his enraged instructorsj Ah, we almost forgot to mention that UWVhisker's ambitions are not alone confined to his Alma Mater, but many are the maidens who have been won by John's sheiking. But forgetting our hero's homicidal passions and his uncontrollable desire to cut classes, we must say that he will make his school proud of him. WARREN DRESHER-Commercial Dr:-rsh, Kid, Warren Silver Scholarship, Student Council, 41, Camera Club, 3. Dresh is one of Mr. Dietrich's banking sharks, and may often be seen amidst a crowd of fellows, who are asking him question after question about the work. 'fKid is the ofH- cial information bureau of the banking class. He is also a bright light of Mr. Lantz's shorthand class, and may often be seen evenings at home using up pencil after pencil to complete the next day's assignment in shorthand. Warren, judging from the ad- joining photograph, has every requirement of beautyC?j to enhance members of the fair sex. Although such a remarkable character, he always has a kind word and a smile for everybody, including the Greenies',C?j. Kid intends to work in an office as a book- keeper or stenographer. Go to it, Dresh, we wish you the best of luck.

THE EPITOME FRANCIS J. CONWAY, JR.-Technical Connie, Irish, Pat Class Base Ball, 3g Philos, 4, Hi-Y, 3, 443 Thespians, 443 Tech Club, IL: Radio Club, 3, 4, Secretary and Treasurer. VVell, now, give your eyes a feast and look upon the charming countenance of Connie, our greatest sprinter. Irish holds the rec- ord for the depth of the school, covering it in nothing flat while dashing from the K. K. K. CKleinspehn's Kemistry Klassj to the lunch room. Pat is a confirmed scientist, and when not studyingr chemistry he may be heard discussing: Marconi's latest radio the- ory. Francis also has a mania for knives, and, regardless of Charlotte's continued pro- tests, he still carries a six-inch blade in his pocket. Seriously, Connie is a fine fellow. He intends to go to Annapolis, and we know he will uphold the standards of good old Reading High. Good luck, Conway. PHILIP CRYSTAL-Commercial uPhil,n ucrisn Philos, lg Zelos, 2, 3, 43 Class Base Ball, 2, 3. Do you remember the days when our friend Phil used to sell peanuts at I.auer's Park while the big games were held? lt was :L long' time ago, but this is the exact replica of our peanut vender. Much of his success was undoubtedly due to his efliciency in COIN- mercial lines which he attained at this insti- tuti0n.- Crystal has done his part to makc our class what it has been. His fair fea- turesC?j, together with his commercial abili- ties, will aid him to succeed in the business world, Perhaps his accomplishments thus far have been due to the encouragement of! well, you know whom we mean. Success will be yours, Crystal,,' if you continue your fine work. J. MARSHALL DELP-Commercial Fat, Fatina, HJ. Marshall, Mollie Scrub Foot Ball, 2, Class Basket Ball, 35 Philos, 43 Basket Ball Man- ager, 44 Class Foot Ball, 2, 3, Class Base Ball, 2, 3g Thespian Club, 41, Uke Club, 4-. Do you notice that beautiful school girl complexion? If you don't, look for Fat and see for yourself. Perhaps you know that in New York they never run for trolley cars or girls, as one will be along in three minutes. Well, Molley has been running after Gloria for the past three years and hasn't got her yet. Fatina, besides being an excellent com- mercial student, is also a remarkable dancer and pool shooter, not saying anything: about the mean line J. Marshall has. He is often seen at Bach's and at the Mansion House. Laying all jokes aside, John will make a suc- cess in whatever phase of life he enters, and we wish him luck. U X .t e '. r 52 - . I I is hldllbi

THE AUGUSTUS DREXLER-Technical ffDip,,Y fIGus,,' lfBiIl,Y' llnrexff Scrub Base Ball, 2g Varsity, 3, 4g Class Base Ball, 1, 24 'Class Foot Ball, 1, 2, Stamp and Coin Club, lg Camera Club, 3. Pm rough, I'm tough, Pm Gus, That's enough. This unique poem very ably describes our noble hero. Gus has shown his worth in base ball, as you can see from the above rec'- ord. Not only has he been successful along this line, but many are his various achieve- ments. Perhaps you have not heard that our friend Bill won first prize in a Charleston contest at the Lits. The opposite sex Cespeci- ally one of their numberl has been caught by his stern features. Putting all joking aside, we know that Dip will reach the goal which he has set for himself. CONRAD FALTER-Commercial Con, Connie, Connie, Dutch Stamp and Coin Club, 3, Camera Club, 3, 4. By merely studying the facial expression of this fair lad, it is immediately evident that Connie will some day become a prominent person in the busy business world. Along this line he is especially noted as a stenog- rapher and banker. Of course, such great achievements will aid him in various other lines. The lucky person who will derive direct benefit from his achievements has, much to our disappointment, not yet been discovered by our class Sherlocks. Another interesting fact to note about Dutch is that he ex- pects to become an illustriousC?J business man, VVe have no doubt that Connie will put over a big deal and make his class proud of him. WALTER FINCH-General Scientific Walt, Finchie Bronze Scholarship t'VValteh is the only known specimen of his type in captivity. He also eats soft pretzels. His one main accomplishment is philosophizing in Mr. Fink's English class. Mr. Fink once asked him how he acquired such a vacant stare, and Finchie was sure that he did not know. VVell, some chicken must be the cause. This bird has also been seen in many lunch room battles, and we still notice some sears of conflict on his anatomy. Well, there is no need to wonder at this blacklist of deeds when we think that he comes from Pennside. Seriously, though, Finchie is a good student, and we are all in back of him-, wishing him the best luck that the class has to offer. Au revoir. :ff 7 at EPITOME 10 grip? ' L ff ..1i'- l ,.r.
