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

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.

Well, Freddy,,' you here, too. Well, you know, fellows, he is the best tragedian in the school as well as Charleston champ. Freddy', is often seen driving a Ford, and we were told from his experience with these cars, together with his stage ability, he is going to write a play entitled, You Drive It Yourself? Fred is a man of few words, some of these being checks, please,', step right up this way, please, ten cents. Fred,,' we understand, is going to study medicine. We hate to see you leave us, but we know that soon you will be back as a full-fledged M. D. Here's wishing you luck! , ROBERT KLINE-General Scientific Peanut, Bob, Steinmetz Zelos, 1, 2g Thespians, 3, Hi-Y, 1, 2. Well, well, Well, if it isn't Peanut, VVhat specimen of human physiognomy the gods have imposed upon us. The noble visage belongs to the greatest sheik and lady-killer. Peanut may often be found polishing the floor of the Crystal ball room or clipping the wings of the Reading Eagle. He never lets studies interfere with pleasure, except before exams., at which time he can be seen making notes and praying that the teacher who con- ducts the examination may be cross-eyed. Although Bohn may be seen hanging around the vicinity of Front and Spring Streets, we know he means well, and we all wish him the best of luck.

Look closely, one and all, at this wonder- ful piece of illustrious humanity. Oh, what a boy! Dick looks down upon all his class- mates, possessing the highest seat in Mr. Shultz's proctor section. His honors are shared with the noteworthy Sam', Kozloff. Coke is our class athlete, our all-around man. But, alas, he is another on our list of our married men. CSO it is said.j Sparky may often be seen on North Eleventh Street with a certain Esther, and it is thought to be a serious case. But 'iPud's ambition will carry him over the rough road, and the class is backing you to the finish. Au revoir, Dick,
