THE EPITOME CARL W. GRING-Technical Carol, Pucl, Gringie Philos, 41, Hi-Y, 4, Letterhead Committee. Did you ever take a good look at Croll SL Keck's ad., The latest thing in children's clothes? WVell, this is the creature that poses for them. Carol first gained popu- larity as an ad. model when he posed for Mellon's Baby Food. They say that Pud was the prettiest model at that time, but, of course, Mellon's only had one model then. You know, Gringie lives at VVyomissing Hills, and we wonder what draws him toward North Fifth Street. No, he doesn't go look- ing for cigarette stumps any more, because he lost all interest in them long ago. Gringie's Mildred lives out there. Seri- ously speaking, Carl is a fine fellow, and we agree with Mildred when she says he is per- fectly wonderfulf' So long, Gringie! GEORGE HAIN-Technical Kid, H:-iinie 'Class Basket Ball, 1, 2, 3, 49 Class Base Ball, 1, 2, 3g Class Foot Ball, 3, 43 Varsity Base Ball, 44. .Lo and behold! VVho is the handsome fel- low? 'Tis none other than Georgie Hain him- self. Kirin is well known in Fleetwood. He can often be seen flying up and down the Kutztown road with his red-headed blonde at his side. Kid is a well-known athlete at the Olivet Club. Hainie can be seen in the evenings slinging stogies over the counter of his dad's store, with his mind on the girls in the ice cream parlor on the other side. Don't let 'em kid you, George. Success is staring you in the face, and we know you'll grab her. VVe wish you luck! CLAUDE M. HANGEN-General Scientific Wales, Brute, Goofy, Wash-Prop Class Base Ball, 3, 415 Class Basket Ball, 415 Varsity Track, 3, 415 Reserve Basket Ball, 'Lg Stamp and Coin Club, 2, 3. Ye gods and little iishes! VVhat is this monster? Is't Lon Chaneyls double or is't Caesar's ghost? Nay, 'tis only Brute from the shoulders up. Brute is one of the all- around men of the class, being everywhere at all times, and doing nothing at any time but looking wise. Goofy has become such an excellent track runner that the Greeks have discarded the ancient Mercury for him. VVales is a noted pianist. He scorehes the wall-paper whenever he plays Red Hot Mammaf' and makes the potatoes shed tears when he strikes the sour chords of Massa's in the Cold, Cold Ground. He intends to enter Columbia, and we all feel sure he can uphold his end of the line. Goodbye and good luck, Wales, A c .G U E -1 f .. .. Q 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.

Step lively, girls. Gaze upon him. Hand- some, eh? VVell, I guess. Jap is one of the star athletes of the class,a good figrhter,a good loser. His main delight is backing up the scrubs. Not only is he handsome, but he is sm-artC?j. In school, Dewey tells every- one what a woman hater he is. He is the President of the VVoman Hater,s Union. But he has also fallen. VVhen he met Myril he duplicated Humpty Dumpty's feat. Now he simply can't keep away from her. Aside from chewing' gum, snoring and trying to recite, John is a very quiet fellow. Hence, little is known of his future, but whatever he may do, we know he will be successful. Go to it, John, we are with you! ROBERT L. HAWMAN-Technical Pud, Bob, Goofy, Pestiience Silver Scholarship VVhoa, ladies! Don't rush. This handsome chapC?j is not for your taking. He has al- ready succumbed to one of your wily sex and is none the worse for it Qas yetb. Bob can frequently be seen with a certain Fern, who is all the world to himC?j. He is always studying when doing nothing else. Pud is one of Mr. Boyle's wonders in chemistry, and oh, boy, how he can do Math. Pestilence is another member of that crazy, imaginary Four Horsemen. He pals with such rubes as Ted Johnston and Elmer Sm-ith. But Goofy , is a hard worker, and the Class of '26 June knows he will succeed and wishes him the best of luck. So long, Bob.', CHARLES T. HEARING-Technical Fish, Yockamutsa, Nigger, Coal- Hea.ver Class Base Ball, 1, 2, Class Basket Ball, 1, 2, Class Foot Ball, 1, 2, 3g Varsity Base Ball, 3, 44, Varsity Basket Ball, 3, 45 Captain, 41. Look who we have here. None other than Coal-Heaver Hearing himself. Fish is one of the best pitchers that Reading has ever had, and as such he is an important member of our base ball team. 'KFish is also a star in basket ball. He is the best guard that we have ever had, and as captain has brought the season to a close with a long string of victories to our credit. Yockamutsa can be found in the company of such renowned ath- letes as Levan'l Smith and Johnnie Haw- man. Fish expects to enter Lehigh in the fall. VVe are sure he will succeed, and we wish him the best of luck.
