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 .,

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.

He has also entertained THE EPITOME , T x 4 ...J .1.g 2, Alli us with inspiring uke selections, accom- panied by a shuffling around on the platform. By the way, Banker is the city's champion charity Charleston clogger. A fault- Hum gry is always yelping for his piece, declares Mrs. VVagner. She just can't keep him filled with pie. At least, Daddy will have a re- ligious ending, for '6Parson Price will at- tend a theological school in his study for the ministry. He expects to matriculate at Syracuse. ALBERT READINGER-Latin Scientific Albert, Abie, Abe, Jake Varsity Swimming, 2, 45 Orchestra, 1, 2, 3, 4, Humor Editor of Red and Black. Sis-Boom! Ah, no, folks, it isn't a sky- rocket, its' just Abe', doing one of his famous jack-knives. Albert, as all the girls know, is one of the sheiks of the swimming teamf?5. He is also the joke of the class, being the humor editor of the Red and Black. You have often heard of the famous saying, I'd walk a mile for a Camel. Well, Jake goes fifty-seven better by walking fifty-eight miles to see Grace. He is one of the nicest fellows in our class, never is grouchy, but has a smile for everyone. Abe is one of our Latin sharksC?J. He intends to continue his studies at Lafayette. Stick to it, Albert, we're back of you till the finish. HAROLD R. REIFSNYDER-Technical c4Hap,11 uAben .Lo and behold, the star of the Ace basket ball team of the Y. M. C. A., our own good- looking Hap, Hap has had a basket ball in his hands ever since he was knee high to a grasshopper. Unfortunately, he is rather shy around the opposite sex. If you don't believe us, ask Paul McQuait, one of his dan- gerous gang. Speaking about his gang, Hap can be seen with them promenading up and down Penn Street, doing dangerous things such as hunting cigar bands. How- ever, Hap is a fine friend, and we know he will succeed in all he tries. Go to it, Hap, the class is behind you.
