THE EPITOME JAMES LOOS E-Commercial ccJimmy,rr uLuCh,n s4Jim1x Camera, 1, 2, 3, 45 Class Base Ball, Ig Operetta, 44. Dontt be startled! This is not one of the Two Orphans or The Three Musketeers. It is only our little Jimmy. Jimmy is one of Mr. ,Lantz's speed demons and typewriting artists. Besides being bothered by four or five females, Jimmy is not bothered by the fair sex. Almost any Saturday afternoon he may be seen honoring Pom- eroy's aisle with his presence. Big Boy has ambitions to become a singer. His favorite tunes are The Lunch Room March and The Parade of the Dinner Boardersf' Luch is a great banker, and occasionally writes out a check in favor of himself. But, as a whole, he is a very good fellow, and we wish him good luck. OSCAR WILLIAM McINTOSH-Technical Mac, Micky, Os, Kintosh, Slick, Willie Class Foot Ball, 1, 2, 35 Varsity, 4-g Zelos, 25 Camera, 4. The accompanying picture is none other than that of Mac, the hard-boiled yegg of the classQ?j. Mickey is one of '26 June's greatest foot ball playersC?j. After lending his valuable assistance to '26's championship foot ball team for three seasons, W'illie finally persuaded Coach Snell that he was good enough for the varsity. On the field he was called the wonder player, because he was always wondering what to do. Mac is just a good scout. Step right up and call him Speedy Mick usually spends his Satur- day evenings in the Orpheum, accompanied by a woman-no, not his mother. Oscar is undecided as to which college he will attend, but, whichever his choice may be, we are sure he will attain success. So long! JOHN MAC ,LEOD--Commercial Johnny, Mack, Duke Class Foot Ball, 3g Debating, 3, 4-g Oratorical 'Contest No, gentle reader, this is not a movie actor. It is merely the greatest orator of the classC?j. Yes, it's Mack.', This young man is quite an orator, as shown by his campaigns for the Starving Oratorsf' t'Mack must get up so early in the morning to make up extemporaneous speeches that oratory is ruin- ing his health and good looksf?j. Mack is really a genius, but, judging from his won- derful work on the debating team, we know that we will succeed. He is a member of Mr. Dietrich's notorious class of bankers, and his main ambition is to become a banker or an orator. Yes, we feel that when Mack steps out in the world he will do big things. VVe all wish you luck, 'tMack. A -115' 41,9-? ' iirc., X f f s

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!

THE EPITOME lcv: .L '.i.- Q .' v- , .. C ,.., I oi 1-.4g i with JOHN DAVID MARTIN-Technical Johnny, John D., Pat Class Foot Ball, 1, 2, 3g Philos, lg Ukelele, 41. Gimme a cigarette, that's Johnny, We do not know exactly why he doesn't buy, but we heard from a good source that he's too young. It also was whispered that John D. never wears rubbers because they give so little. .So that may be another reason for not investing in a pack of hun1ps.,' Really, though, we pity Pat Ruth gave him the air, and he's awfully downhearted. In fact, he has lost interest in everything, especially his studies. But we know Johnny will for-- get all about her and succeed in life. WALTER G. MASON-General Scientific uwalhu 4cDoc,1y nl-Iuskypv uBig Boyn Here is the striking face of NValt. fThat's all you would care to see.j This handsome brute has an advantage over most of us- he has already graduated from Mt. Penn High School. Doc is a real artist at pool and driving Buicks, but he says the best thing is sitting in Helen's house. Walt wants to be an engineer of some kind like his father, but he feels that he needs more education. CThat's true enough.j Mason will sure be missed from the town of Penn- side when he goes away, because he delivers the Reading Eagle there and has all the village maidens follow him. VVell, 'tDoc, stick to it and be an engineer like your dad, the class is behind you. ROBERT K. MATTERN-General Scientific HBOBH School Track and Cross Country Team, 413 Student Council, 2. Attention, ladies and gentlemen: 'We beg to present Mr. Robert Kenneth Mattern. This brightC?D and enterprising young man has a great passion for working puzzles, when there are prizes offered for the best solution. Bob has already bought many cars, in his dreams. He is also interested in the place where cars are made---Detroit. We wonder why he didn't move there with her. Bob is one of the star runners of the cross-country team and hopes to beatfisome dayl. After all, Bob is a fine fellow and well liked by everyone. He intends to go to Cornell, and we are sure that he will succeed. S0 long, B0b.
