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.

, 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.

Q jj ,.,, c 1 i 1 lr. rrtli THE EPITOME HOWARD C. FRANTZ-General Scientific 4aDutCh,rv caH0wie,1a uPious,n ukBudn President of Student Council, 4+g Vice President, 3: School News Editor of Red and Blackg Treasurer of Philos, German Play, Debating Team, fig Senior Assembly Commit- teeg Class Foot Ball, 3g Gold Schol- arship, Class President, 4+. Prof, Frantz teaching Fentsie some- thing-There is no matter: only phantom oc- curring in one's mind from disturbances of electrons constituting the body. Also Howie picks on us, monopolizing assemblies with Man to Monkey to Man to-CFD and 'iEinstein and Relativity, etc. Frantz has taken a lively interest in school work this last year. He has done a great deal of good work as President of the Student Council. The mental capacity of this manC?j can be measured by the accomplishments listed above, proving his head is used for other pur- poses than the conventional parking space for a hat or cap. Frantz will soon be one of the campus oddities of Yale. VVe hope he will learn to keep appointments. E. GEIER FREEHAFER-Latin Scientific cxEgg,99 Gold Barg Orchestra, 2, 3, 4-5 Re- porter, 44 Debating Team, 3, 45 Philos, 3, 4, Glee 'Club, 2. This handsome countenance belongs to E. Geier Freehafer. Geier is one of those strong, silent men, He has played the bass violin for the last three years, and he sure shakes a wicked bow. Egg,' is one of our best or- ators, and he has taken part in many inter- scholastic debates, He is an ardent speaker, and when he mounts the rostum we are moved to tears. Egg has been seen in Lancaster quite often, and it is rumored that there is a certain party there whom he visits. Geier intends to continue his education at the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania. We all wish him the best of luck and are sure that he will make good. CLAUDE C. GLASE-General Scientific AaHankr! Class Foot Ball, 41. Hank is just another of those melancholy individuals who come to High School to sleep and otherwise enjoy themselves. Hank', is so small that you can hardly see him, and hc often has the misfortune of having som-eone else walk over him. Although Claude is small in stature, yet it doesn't follow that he is small in other ways. He is a good student and a hard worker. Hank is one of the few woman-haters of our class. But we hope this will soon pass away. But, putting all foolish- ness aside, Hank,' is a good fellow. The class is with him, and here's to his success.
