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,

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

Yes, we know all about it, he's on the secret house committee of the Migdal Club. Kozzy managed to look in- telligent enough to get a scholarship button. He is a clever fellow and a hard worker. .., . . ' , Yes, it was on account of this map that the publication of this book was delayed. It was only much threatening and the efforts of a kind sister that persuaded the photographer to risk his camera on this specimen. Sammy however has made good marks in - 1 r ' 4 ' C ..... f':' school. They may be found all over his desks 2 and seats. XVe do not know just what he will 1 'V take up, but we know he'll make good! 1 ff X L E2 3' I WILBUR THOMAS LEFFLER- 3 General Scientific :V- uBiu,n usoapysv uldeffn 4 Bronze Scholarship Button, 2, Class E Track, 3g Class Photograph Commit- teeg '26 June Easter Frolic Commit- 5 teeg Alumni Editor Red and Black. - I. The one bearing the above interesting .2 honors is nothing more than Soapy. 'tBil1 il 2 is one of the class and a good sport, but not 2 a citizen of Reading. He has been a prom- 1 .12 inent student and somewhat intelligent until he got into bad company. Since Bill works at the Reading Eagle with Iieh, he has be- come a man indeed. Left can often bc L seen on Penn Street in his Studebaker with Jeanette. He is often seen in a crowd match- , ing pennies to buy gas or doing the Charles- ton. .Soapy is a fine athlete and Alumni editor. Leff may go away to school.

Bill is very much interested in 1 dogs. If your dog is sick or has a choice - f 3 C. assortment of flees, consult our eminent class- - -- ' mate. Goosey is very well versed in the . base ball world and can prophecy the world 12' series winner five years in advance.
