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!

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.

Ladies and gentlemen: We have before us the honorable Vice President of the illustrious Class of ,26. Dave is a valuable man about school. This can be seen by his showing in foot ball. The boys call him Red Grange because of the pretty plays he executes. Davey is often seen at the Crystal, gliding across the floor. Hes', tells us that his dancing keeps him in trim for his swimming. Dave is also a scholarship man, and he is liked by everyone. He intends to go to Mer- cersburg to continue his preparatory educa- tion. He will also participate in foot ball, swimming and track. Adios! VVe are sure of your success. J. FRED. HOFFER-General Scientific Hoofer, Fred, Sleepy Judging from the above standards, you can see that 'fHoofer is quite an athlete. Al- though he lives in Springmont, there isn't any hay-seed in his hair-it's wild oats. Did you ever see an old rattle-trap rumble up Penn Street? It was Fred's I-lupj' which was approved by the Forty-third National Bank, and it needs no advertising because it has Federal tires. VVhen walking down the main drag, one can hear the girls say, 'gl rode in that car. Some of his accomplishments are: Pool, dancing, bumming and trigonometry. Nonchalenc'e is going to Florida to repre- sent his dad in the real estate business, selling undermined land to the Navy to build garages for their submarines. Fred means well, however, and we wish him the best of luck. CALVIN HUMBERT-Commercial Cal, Callie, Humbert Philo, 41. Clash-bang-clatter! Here comes the one and only walking advertisement for that school girl' complexion. This handsome countenance you are now gazing upon is Cal, His handsomeness is no reason for his being a sheik, for he is a very ardent woman hater. Callie is going to be one of the giants of finance. He says he won't take any position less than cashier in the Last National Bank. He is one of the quietest boys of his classC?D and also one of the most popular. He is an ardent exponent of that good old school spirit which we hear so much about. However, we know that Callie will be a success in whatever he undertakes. So long, Humbert, we wish you the greatest success in everything you try.
