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.

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.

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.

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 .,

THE EPITOME JAMES REINHART-General Scientific uJirnrny,u uJilnIu Ladies and gents, we take great pleasure in introducing to you the only living interpreter of Why Girls Leave Home, but on the level, 'iJimmy is very calm and seems at present rather shy toward the gentle sex. Besides being gifted with a good appearance and a gruff voice, Jim is a shining star in Mr. Fink's English eight class. Jimmy is an absolute authority on Shakespeare, Long- fellow and Mr. White. But of all these noble traits, the one that most interests us is his frank manner and serious approach of any situation. Jim,' has the backbone that is lacking in many. Good luck to you, class- mate! JOHN EDWARD REINSEL-Technical Johnny Philos, lg Hi-Y, 2, 3, 4-g Camera Club, 2, Chairman Class Numeral Committee. Dear readers, you have the pleasure of gaz- ing upon the fair countenance of one of our most brilliant chemistry students. John is also Mr. Kissinger's electrical shark, and can be seen with Fred. Peralla fixing up an elec- trical heater which they claim will throw more heat than the sun. Every Sunday evening John can be ,seen pushing a plate up the aisle of Calvary Reformed Church. He is also one of the R's in the R. N. R. cor- poration 1Reinse1, Neihart and Rickenbachj. John is quite an accomplished tennis player. Ask Eleanor. So far, John has not fallen for the weaker sex, but he does not wear blinders when a pretty woman passes him on the street. After leaving these fair halls, Johnny intends to put up with the Bell Telephone Company. So long, old chap. WILFORD LEON REIST-Latin Scientific Jake, Willie Bronze Scholarship, 3, Orchestra, 1, 2, 3, fig Concert Master and Student Leader, 44 Class Base Ball, 23 Hi-Y, 25 Camera Club, 2, 3. Hark! VVhat is that noise? But who is that holding the little wand in his hand? Oh, that's Jake, our concert master. He sure is a music fiend. However, he sometimes gets his notes and keys mixed, and cannot dis- tinguish between Federal and Yale locks. W'e know nothing of his lady friends, though sev- eral fellows have been on his trail for the past year. Why our 'iWillie does not or- ganize a band in his home town, the thriving metropolis of Temple, is something we c'an't understand. Jake is a man whose future we feel safe in predicting to be one of suc- cess and honor. Goodbye and good luck! .3 5 3 M. . . ,X o f .--... ...'. f .... ...A ri R .-..,, mi.,-.L ..
