Behold! One of the smallest men of the notable '26 June Class. Smiles is trying to be the World's best imitator. While play- ing the fiddle for Meinholz's orchestra, he resembles Kreislerg on the gridiron he looks like a future Grange, being Bob Maurer's assistantg on the base ball field and basket ball floor, he trys to mock several stars. Caesar not only stars on athletics, but also has a bronze scholarship and many honor roll cards to his credit. Tilley expects to take up an extension course after graduation. So long and the best of luck, big boy! DAVID JAMES O'NEIL-Technical npeggyyn AaDave,11 uljatu Thespian, 35 German Play CEr Sall Der Herr Seinjg Camera Club, 413 Treasurer Hi-Y, 2. Don't be shocked, ladies and gentlemen, this is only Peggy O'Neil, our German star. By glancing at him you wouldn't think that he can rattle off German as fast as he can repeat the Lord's Prayer. Fat's physique and fluent flow of German enabled him to get a job as sausage slinger at the Mohican. Davy's good work earned him a promotion to chief cut-up of cows. Seriously speak- ing, We are proud of Dave His good work in the German play secured praise for him throughout the school. Keep up the good work, Dave,l' and we Will surely be proud of you. BROOKMAN R. PAINTER-Latin Scientific Brook, Sheik Vice President of Class, 25 Philo, 3, 41g President, 4-g Cross-Country, 415 Student Council Secretary, 3, Red and BlackStaffg Gold Bar Scholarship. Perhaps it is not known to you, but this is the fair resemblance of our famous Canadian from the Great Northwest, where men are men and where youths visit their prospec- tives on bucking bronchos. When in the East, Brook spends the greater part of his time with his dear friend Virgil. On clear days the Sheik may be seen, scantily clad, running in from the enormous metro- polis of Shillington. Feminine creatures flock from many miles around to witness this great athletic feat. But his achievements are not limited to this. 'iBrook,' questions his teach- ers upon arithmetical subjects to such an ex- tent that they give up in despair. Brookman intends to study electrical engineering at Harvard, and we all know he'll succeed.

THE EPITOME V DAVID MOYER-Commercial Flying Dutchman, Dave, Davy Kindly do not rush or crowd, girls! This big brute and lady killer has his mate picked already. For every night you can see Davy strutting his stuff, with Estelle, in the vicinity of Ninth and Elm Streets. Dave is one of the big men of the class Caround the vaistj, and is a notorious member of Mr. Lantz's stenography sharks and a crack banker. But we c'an't understand this, for he rushes his t'choice almost every evening. VVhat is it? Is he brightC?j or does he have a pull? VVe think it to be the latter. Getting serious now, HFlying Dutchman is a pretty good fellow, and expects to enter into the business world. VVe wish you success in your undertakings. Good luck, Dave! JOHN FRANCIS NEIHART, JR.- General Scientific Johnny, Manager, Fat Ladies and gentlemen, you now have the pleasure of looking upon the countenance of the only bachelor of the class. John is good at the Charleston and can often be seen with Harry Seltzer bumping the boards in the Calvary Mcn's Minstrel. It is said that they once brought the house down--brick by brick. After school hours Johnny put in time at Paul's, trying to sell garters to collegiate fel- lows. Seriously, John is a. good sport and well liked by all. After graduating from old R. H. S., he intends to fix up the Bell Tele- phone Company, and we all wish you great SIICCCSS. S'long, old top, the best 0' luck to you. ADAM NOWOTARSKI-Commercial Adam, Flying Polack, Fat Ladies and gentlemen, bootleggers and cat- tle rustlers, kindly hear me. Here you have the most illustrious man of the class, about whom so much fuss has been raised. Yes, this is he, and would you think that Adam hangs around such roughnecks like Spencer Smith, Carl Snyder and that guy Lopey Singer? The Flying Polack is one of the most dar- ing stenography hounds, though he is very modest about it. He claims that he can take 125 words a minute Cand then trans- cribes from t'Hip Anderton's notesj. Adanfs main ambition is to become president of some big bank, like that of the Stony Creek Na- tional Bank, and we hope that he succeeds. Good luck, Adam! lil' I' 42 J-:al Aggpu? n o 3 ,.... . may t

THE EPITOME FREDERICK JOHN PERELLA-Technical llFred,77 HFat,!7 Klsarallhi! KKDuke9, Class Foot Ball, 1, 2, 34 Varsity, 44g Class Base Ball, 1, 2, 3g 'Class Ad- visory Gift Committeeg Tech Club, 2, 3, Student Council, 4-. Don't be shocked, folks, it's only Fred, our class sheik. He is not only one of Read- ing High's foot ball stars, but also a booster in class athletics. One of Duke's fairest foot ball enthusiasts is a certain Grace, from Easton, who gives our champ loads of en- couragement in her weekly letters. Sarah shines in his classes, especially study-hall, where he can be seen every day reading the same letters over and over again. This, dear ladies, is a specimen of the never-to-be- remembered Tech Club. His work here was just as characteristic of Fred as his greater labor on the Student Council. Well, Fat, we wish you the best of luck. EDWARD THOMAS PETTIT-Technical uEds,n uEddie'n ulzyn Camera Club, 3, 4, Stamp and Coin, la Tech Club, 2, 3. Screech! VVow! Bang ! VVooo-oo-oo! Groan! Its' Ed playing his fiddle. Some people say Eddie is trying to force the neighbors to move, but we know he is trying to entertain themC?j. Another report is that l'lds,' is merely showing his bravery by playing his screech-box in spite of the fact that the neighbors threaten to assassinate him. VVe believe Izy is brave, because he is one of the fearless four who had the neck to come to school in cretonne shirts, minus coats. uliddiel' is through with grirls just IIOWV. NVe wonder why? Oh, well, Ed, keep your brave side to the front and you will make a dent in this world. -,V.:.

Meet Mutt, the editor-in-chief of this lipitome. He led the Red and Black to a crowning success, also. Frenchy wears a diderent neektie every day in the week. Mutt' is one of our most able language stu- dents, when speaking French his pronuncia- tion resembles that of Daudet, and, on the other hand, in Latin class you would think Milton was related to Cicero. Although everything seems to be either horrible or gorgeous 'to Frenchy, he is one of the most talented members of the class. In the past f'Mutt has occupied many responsible positions in his class and elsewhere. He ex- ecuted these most ably and has proved his ability. The class is back of you, Milton. .,.,, .. .fur C .... ...JL r 0, :JH .,
