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.

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 ..

THE EPITOME ALLEN RITTER-Technical HAL!! usuckeyn Base Ball, 2, Foot Ball Manager, 3, Philos, 41, Hi-Y, 1, 2, 39 Vice Presi- dent, 414 Thespian, 2. Hail the sheik! AIM is a good chap, all the same. His ability in the games of base ball and foot ball has attracted the attention of some of our leading athletic magnates. Buckey is contemplating whether he wants to sign with John McGraw or take Red Grange's job from him. Don't be mis- taken, folks, by this Hbanterj' because, seri- ously speaking, Al is a fine lad. We are all sure that whatever Buckey attempts will be a huge success. Buckey got this nickname for two reasons. First, because of his ability as a line bucker in foot ball, and also because he is a sincere admirer of Buckey Harris, manager of the Wash- ingtons. ALFRED N. ROGERS-Latin Scientific uAlf,n uMax,17 MAIN Gold Scholarshipg Class Motto Com- mittee, French Play, Rosalie, Zelosg Chaplain, 2g Treasurer, 3, Vice President, 415 Debating Team, Camera Club, 3, 44. Behold! Before us is one of a more or less quiet disposition. Alf is one of the high- est ranking students in our class, and has been a hard worker and bluifer for four years. This is not the only rare thing about him, however, another being his extreme bashfulness with the displayers of feminine styles. For as good-looking a chap as he, well dressed and intelligent looking, we can- not but wonder. He has brains, ambition, ability and talent. Alf is the pride of the Math. department. Perhaps this is why he aspires to go to Lehigh to study engineering. Success to you, Alf! ' FLOYD ROSENTHAL--Latin Scientific Rosie Class Foot Ball, 3, Zelos, 1, 2, 3, 4-g Reporter, 3, 4. Don't crowd, ladies! This is only little Floyd. No, Rosie is not in love. Far greater is the cause for his grief, for, alas, he must reduce. No longer may he brighten Mother Wagner's victualizing station with his presence for two hours daily. Rosie hasn't given much attention to the social life of the school, his only club being the illus- trious Zelos. In spite of the labor of this illustrious society, however, he admits that he still gets cold feet when there's any public speaking to do. 'fFloydy appears to have no time for members of the fair sex. Seri- ously, Floyd is a fine fellow, and we wish him luck. , X ggjfii' Q 49- :'::'.g ATT? 3 C ...... .tj ,N is f ig
