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.

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!

THE EPITOME THEODORE C. JOHNSON-Technical a4Pud,r1 Avredyn urrheorv Class Base Ball, 3, 4-4 Class Foot l5all,3g Operetta,4-g Gold Scholarship. Oh, girls, look who's here! It's Abd-El Johnson himself, the mightiest asphalt sheik in Reading. If you don't think sheiks ever smile, you ought to get acquainted with this grinning son of the sidewalk. But donit let that winning smile of his lead you astray, for it has broken the heart of many a beautiful maiden. His greatest ambition in life is to take a trip to France and see some of those Parisian dollies that he's read so much about. lf he does, he won't have any trouble in find- ing' his way about, for he is one of the famous French sharks which our school boasts. In spite of his great love for les bellcs fillesf' however, he is quite an intelli- gent young man, and we know that his life is bound to be a success. BURTON R. JONES-General Scientific Seaweed, Jr., Jonesie, Captain Class Foot Ball, lg 'Class Base Ball, 1, 443 Class Basket Ball, 3, 414 Stamp and Coin Club, 24 Camera Club, 2, 3, Hi-Y, 3, 41, Tech Club, 3g VVatch Fob Committee. Here he is! f'Seawecd, .lr., brother of the famous Rollin Jones, who set people talking: by graduating recently. .lonesie has just recently decided that he would graduate with '26 June. He has been in both '26 Feb. and '26 June an equal number of times, but fin- ally decided that '26 June was the better choice. Every year he establishes a new record for being late. VVe think it's because -well, we'll let you think that one out, as WC'l'8 not quite sure and we donit want to mislead you, NVe're not quite sure what he-'s going' to do, but we know he'll make good. Go to it, Burton, we're in back of you, wish- ing all the fortune we can on you. NORMAN KAPLAN-Technical Nanie, Norm School Band. Ladies and gentlemen: l take this oppor- tunity to introduce to you a handsome speci- men of hurnanityC?j. Screech! Screech! lJon't be alarmed--it's only Norman Serenad- ing: Marie with his cultivated voice. He also thinks he can play the clarinet and really can bring in the last note. Say, fellows, do you remember the day when Name came to school on time? You see, he really must shave his day's growth of beard before school. VVhy, do you know when he shaves prepara- tory to going to a hop he is forced to drive the speed limit in order to get there before his beard sprouts anew. Norman wants to he a civil engineer and study at Drexel. Adios, Kaplan, and good luck. , ,EE E 3 I ,... . J, ,ip Q
