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

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.

-6 iw- 1, ' 4. ..,.. Z 1 K QQQWIH rabid' THE EPITOME HARRY FREDERICK MERKEL-- General Scientific Harrie, Merk, Moikel Class Basket Ball, 1, 2, 3, 4, Philos, 3, 4: Hi-Y, 3, 4, President Morning Group, 4, Camera Club, 4. Squeak, squeak, squeak! Hello, every- body. Oh, d0n't get frightened, it's only Moikel with his queer talk. Merlin always scares the greenies with his maniacal murmur- ings, but that does not apply to the fair sex. Harrie is often heard to murmur Grace, Charlotte, Rose or Mini, but when not call- ing on one of the above mentioned ladies he may be seen around Hill Road. VVe all know why. 'tMerk spends his spare moments at the Enterprise Novelty Company, trying to sell novelties to the childrenC?j. He is un- decided where he will go after leaving Read- ing High. The class is back of you, Merk. Stick to whatever you undertake, and we know you'll succeed. HARRY SAMUEL MILLER-Technical 4aKaP,v1 ulvlillern Varsity Track, 3, 4g Cross-Country, 45 Camera Club, 2, 3, 43 Philos, 4, Hi-Y, 3, 4, Reporter, 4. Bang! The gun cracks and Miller takes the lead in another cross-country race. Harry has always been a fast runner, having ac- quired the habit when her father chased him. Perhaps this is the reason he can run so far, too. He believes in action rather than words, but if you don't believe us, ask the girls. Harry's main source of exercise is in his 1902 model Reo. He has pushed it so far that it owes him about two miles. But Kap plays fair with the girls when they ride with him. Speaking seriously, however, we expect a lot from Harry, and feel sure that he will live 'up to our expectations. WALLACE B. MILLER-Technical Wally, Whitey, sandy, virginia Class Foot Ball, 1, Scrub Foot Ball, 2, Varsity Foot Ball, 3, 4, Varsity Swimming, 1, 2, 4, Philos, 1, 25 Hi-Yg Camera, 1. Look out! Here comes 'fWal1y,' Miller in his hase ball pants-beg pardon, knickersf- on his way to see Virginia, his eight-year-old sweetheart. But let 'WValIy tell you about her. Blondy is also an earnest devotee to the fair sexfStelletta is her name, isn't that right. LWVally? VVally's only regret is that she lives so far away from his house. He can often be seen hiking down Perm Street at one o'clock in the morning after escorting the young lady home. Besides being a star foot ball player, Blondy is also a studentC?j. He wasn't valedictorian of his class because he disliked to take the honor from one of his friends. Good luck to you, Wally,
