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

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.

Did you ever see this handsome chap walking down Penn Street? Look for him, girls. He hasn't been known to fall for any- one as yet, but it's possible. Johnny', led our class as president the first two years, and made a big hit in the Pennant Play as Doris. In his last year Johnny secured a regular berth on the swimming team and made good on the relay team. Recently Johnny has been uslinging sodasy' at Keen's Drug Store, and finds them quite to his taste. Although Rothe doesn't know whether he will pose for Arrow collar ads. or go to college, we're sure he will choose the education. Good luck, Johnny, in whatever you do. HAROLD S. SALLADA-Commercial Sally, Dotty, Fritztown, Pete This is it! VVhat? Sally, the Wonder! This brilliant student is so quiet that he is marked absent at least once every week, Then he uses his eloquence to prove to the principal that he was present. This deep thinker has become so absent-minded that it is said that he combed his bread and but- tered his hair. Pete is the manager, adver- tising agent, bookkeeper, salesman, stenog- rapher, floor-walker, oflice boy, messenger boy and janitor of Readingfs largest depart- ment store, viz., Seller's Clothing Store. His motto, I cannot fail, is a success. He al- ways brightens up when he goes to Fritz- tovvn. You wonder why he goes? Well-- some wise girl threw a banana peel on the pavement. Sally,' tread on it and fell for her. Goodbye, Sally! WILLIS LEROY SAS SAMAN-Technical acsassfy nzekesa Behold! The wonder of the class. Zeke always wonders what he has to study. Now and then he snatches time to do such things as using hislbeautiful bass voice in the chorus of a mere minstrel. Sass, also tries to sheik the fair sex. If you dontt believe us, ask Julia. Did you ever see the wonder run- ning' in Ninth Street with all his might? No, he's not practicing for track-he's running a race with the late bell. Upon rare occa- sions the bell wins, and next day Zeke turns up with an excuse reading Please ex- cuse 'Willis for lateness, as the bell rang be- fore he reached school. Well, Sass,,' we do hope you will get up early enough to win success. ,So long!
