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.

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

THE EPITOME REGINALD E. MATTHIAS-Commercial uBunny,n uReggieu Bunny is one of those fellows who con- tinually pretends to be doing nothing, but some know better, for Reggie never wasted time. He is an active fellow, engaged in the intricacies of commercial necessity. 'iBunny, for thepast few decades,has led an interesting life, indulging in such foppishness as late hours, theatres, Hdandyv company and pro- digious studyC?j. Notwithstanding such am- biguities, Reggie is a fine fellow. Good luck to you! ROBERT GEORGE MAURER-Technical x4Bob'11 uF'at,u aAHunk,rv 4aChubby,1x nJoken Class Foot Ball, 2, 3g Zelos, 2, Tech Club, 3, Hi-Y, 2. Do tell. UNO? XVhere'd you see him? 'fHonest. No, folks, there is nothing wrong. It's just a few Fourth and Court flappers talking about our Bob Hunk says he's off the women, but why do we hear such con- versations as the above and also see him in the Northeastern section of the city every evening? Sure,Meinholz andSassaman live out there, but not on Union Street. VVho asked if we were proud of 5'Joke?' Sure, we are. VVasn't he a member of our foot ball cham- pions? VVhat? No, he was third assistant water-boy. Bob goes out for other sports. too, such as eating, sleeping, being a general nuisance, and-oh, yes, the indoor sports. VVell, we wish you luck, g'Fat. So long! RUSSELL SCOTT MEINHOLZ-Technical Rus, Abe, Napoleon, Creature Camera Club, 2, 3, 44, Treasurer, 45 Tech Club, 2, 3g Editor Tech News, 3. Ladies and gentlemen, behold! This is Sousa's, Paderewski's and Paul XVhiteman's only rival. 'gCreatore leads a mean sym- phony orchestra, jazz band, and is also an able htickler of the ivoriesf' It is rumored that he has a certain lady friend up in Schuyl- kill Haven. Napoleon is also quite a so- loist, being the only perfect attendant at choir rehearsal, and the only reason we can see is either a little blond soprano or a bru- nette contralto, or both. Rus has an am- bition-that is to indulge more deeply in the art of music, especially in choir rehearsals. VVe are all back of him, wishing him all the success in the world-even if he does wear his hair like a musician. Good luck, Rus! K..- ..,,. ., 4 4 or 'cor at E
