THE EPITOME 27 SAMUEL KOZLOFF--Commercial usanhn 4aSammy,x1 ulcozzyn Bronze Scholarship, Zelos, 1, 2, 3, 4-. Stop, look and laugh! 'l'hat's right, it's 'tKozzy himself. 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. Any- how, the class says, Here's luck, 'Bi1l!' , WILLARD LEH-General Scientific Willie, Bill, Goosey Gold Scholarship, 'Class Reporter, 33 Class Base Ball, 33 Cap and Gown Committee. XVoof-Pst-Grr! Don't be alarmed, he , will not harm you. VVillie's thoroughbred , German police dog is only wrecking a cat. See how gentle he is with the child now pet- ting him. 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. VVillie's , interest in the weaker humans is very vague. 2 fAll we have are rumors., Goosey is very 4 quiet Csometimesj. As you have observed, ,., Y., , ..- +..T,,. -.,q.- ,. . Willie is also a very good student, and in- h tends to enter U. of P. or State College. In spite of his scholarship, Bill will succeed.

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. RICHARD KOCH-Technical xaDick,r9 ulpudyn ucokesr usparkyu Manager of Proctor Track Team, 2, Class Base Ball, 35 'Class Basket Ball, 1, 2, 3, 415 Class Foot Ball, 41, Varsity Track, 4. 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,

9, ,4.--- ff,-.. S ' ,I Z 0, ...,1 Q, spirit THE EPITOME FRANCIS LEISMAN-Technical Hon, Sparkles No, this is not an add for Arrow collars or Triplex shoes. It is just Sparkles Liesman, famous radio bug, and Edison's only rival, from Elm Street. YVhen Hon is not busy sticking his hands into fans out at Cedar Street, he struts the town with such bums and cake-eaters as Deacon Brown and Slats Irwin, famous ex-convicts. Hon is a woman hater, but the girls can't keep away from him, and it is rumored he is a big butter and egg man, spending as high as SB30 on one girl in a night. Seriously speaking, Hon is a good fellow, and we know he will succeed. So long! ROBERT EDWIN LIGHT-Technical Bob, Electron Pennant Castg Radio Club, 4. Here he is, folks, one of the electrical wiz- ards of the class. Electron is one of the most quiet chaps, but a mighty fine fellow. It is rumored that Bob has stolen the heart of a certain young lady residing on Perkio- men Avenue. All the same, we must admit that Bob cuts a natty appearance in a uni- form. Electron is one of the more reserved type and doesn't step into the limelight. He is a sure, steady plugger, and we are positive that if he continues he will succeed. Elec- tron is a little undecided as to his occupa- tion after graduation, but, whatever he at- tempts, we wish him the fruits of great suca cess with the compliments of good old 1926 June. JAMES BENNEVILLE LINDENMUTH- Technical acJimmy,rr uldindyn Hi-Y, 3, 414 Camera Club, 3, 4. Behold, ladies and gentlemen, what we have with us. ,Tis none other than our beloved Jimmie, James is one of those quiet chaps who never looks at girls. We suspect that he likes Howers, especially the Rose He is one of those people who love to take a trip on the Tenth Street flier in order to get home. VVe believe Lindy,' burns the mid- night oil at his friend's home. I believe, if one were to question his friend Merkelske, some great secrets would be revealed. But no matter, James, you still have the best wishes of our class for a successful career, So long, old top!
