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 ..

Price, Daddyy' of the class, with his six years stay about the marble corridors of the school, has more privileges than we others. fed contributed much service here by his directing of cheers. 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.

Varsity Foot Ball, 1, 2, 3, 43 Swim- ming, 3, 41, Captain, 3, Class Basket Ball, 415 Zelos, 1, 2, Hi-Y, 35 Glee Club, 1. Splash! George is ol? to another victory! This handsome, red-headed chap is our champion swimmer. WVhen Recl's not both- ering the teachers, he's studying hardQ?j. Brick claims that VVhitey Miller is the only married man in the class, but Red,' takes the cake for attention to the fair sex Qonej. Milly is her name, and she wears the cutest boots. Oh, boy! Rederick II.', doesn't know whether he wants to be a stage come- dian or a physical director, but we are sure he would be efficient in either art. Pull hard, Red! EARL WAYNE RICKENBACH- Latin Scientific Ricky, NE. Wayne Class President, 35 Treasurer, 1, 2, Cross-Country, 445 Class Foot Ball, 2, 3, 4, Student Senator, lg National Oratorical, 2, 3, Business Manager Red and Black, President Hi-Y, 4-g Senior Assembly Program Committee. Please don't crowd, dear people, this is not a section of the animal cage of P. T. Bar- num's circus, but only our own Reverend E, Wayne Rickenbach. Ricky is one of the most popular fellows of the class, and be- cause if his beautifulC?J voice he got the job of 'tthrowingn the school out of assemblies. We wonder why Ricky can so often be seen in the vicinity of Second and Oley Streets. The mere mention of Hood College has mag- ical eifects. HE. VVayne is a member of the Unholy Three CReinsel, Neihart and Rick- enbachj. Ricky is a good CBOyb scout. Earl doesn't know whether he is going to college. But no matter where he goes, we wish him success. AMOS MARK RINKER-Commercial Aimy, Rinky-Dinky, Marcus Silver Scholarship Button, Class Base Ball, 4.5 First Prize McKinley Essay Contest, 1925. Hurrah! Hurrah! Rah! Rah! You will wonder what all the racket is about. No, it isn't the returns from the Dempsey-Firpo fight, but simply Ai1ny,' Rinker coming to bat. Marcus is the able leader of the famous Aces base ball team. Rinkey- Dinkey is so good that the scorekeepers chalk down a home run for him as he takes his place to bat. Aimy is a prize essayist. He won fame when he won first prize in the McKinley Essay Contest. Although Aimy is very modest about his essay, we know that he knows more about McKinley than Mr. McKinley. Your future famous work will make Babe Ruth and VVilliam Shakespeare look like back numbers.
