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.

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,

THE LOUIS HELLER-General Scientific uL0uie,11 ul-.uw Class Vice President, 1, Zelos, 2, 3, 4-g Student Council, 2g Varsity Swimming, 1, 2, 3, 45 Class Foot Ball, 25 Silver Scholarship, Chair- man Senior Prom Committeeg Senior Assembly Committee, Program Committee, Zelos Debating Team, 3, Camera Club, 2. Again a splashfa hundred yards in noth- ing flat. The spectators stand in awe. -Breath lessly it climbs out of the water, and we find it is Lu, one of Reading High'S aquatic stars. Louis can be seen traveling out Mc- Knight Street several nights of the week. This is a suflicient reason for someone to sug- gest that a canal be dug out this way so as to combine business and pleasure. Louis in- tends to honor U. of P. with his countenance. VVell, when you do, Lu, remember the rules of swimming high hand and pull straight, and we know that you will succeed. WALTER SCOTT HERR-Latin Scientific nBenn Gold Scholarship, First Prize P. O. S. of A. Contest, 3, Second Prize P. O. S. of A. Contest, 4-. ,Scott is decidedly the most brilliant mem- ber of our class, in the classics, English and languages. He was formerly a member of '25 June, but took a year off to graduate with a bettcr class. Scott is one of our quiet workers and has many scholastic and literary scalps hanging from his belt, among them the P. 0. S. of A. award Junior year. He is the last Mohican of our glorious Greek class. He still retains many ear-marks of that remarkable clique. Math is not in Scott's line, but anyone can do that. Scott can write many good essays-ask Mr. Arnold. Ben is very much in earnest about everything, and we know that he will make his mark at Harvard. ARLIN STANLEY HESSINGER- General Scieniiic 4aHessie,1x ulfatvn Friends, classmates and admirers: I come not to bury Hessie,'l but to make fun of him. Fat is the only rival of Fat VVink. However, he is only a few pounds behind him and he soon expects to catch up. Hessie is one of Mr. Fenstermacher's expert physi- cists. Because of the fact that he has only been in Reading for a year, he writes letters to different girls he happens to know in the city, asking for a date on Saturday night. Ask him sometime to show you the letters he gets in reply. Of course, he is never refused because he is so handsomeC?j. Seriously, though, Arlin means well, and we wish him success and good luck!
