THE EPITOME KARL SCHAEFFER clshrinlpxr s4Tim,97 ucasyvr uwhiteyu Class Base Ball, 3, 45 Scrub Base Ball, fig Class Track. Here comes the most timid, sentimental youth of our varied class. In spite of this fact, 'l'im,' might, with validity, be called a little giant, for his oratorical faculties are such as to sway whole crowds, and, although he has acquired a habit of lisping, is it not due to his timidness. Oh, surely Cas has at times very intersting crowds as his pa- tient auditors, in which case he depends on the magnetic value of his deep blue eyes, which Hash the mischievous spirit of un- daunted youth. To one who tries, belongs success, so enjoy plenty of it. Farewell! EDWARD SCHMAUDER-Technical Ed, Sage, Big Boy, Von Hindenburgn Bronze Scholarship Button, Class Foot Ball, 3, 41 QManager, 40g Var- sity Base Ball, 3, 415 Letterhead Committee, Athletic Editor Red and Black. No, no, girls! This isn't Valentino, this is Big Boy, the sage of Hyde Park. Sage is our base ball star. He has played on our base ball team for two seasons, and, being such a big boy, Snellie uses him to protect the bats. Von Hindenburgu is a sheik. Al- though sixteen girls have already proposed to him, he only mentions the name of Thelma He claims that Thelma won't even mention his name, so he may often be heard singing, Gee, Pm Mighty Blue for You. After all, Ed is a good fellow. He is one of our ath- letes and well deserves the honor of Athletic Editor. Ed expects to study engineering at Penn State when he leaves school, and we wish him the best of luck. HARRY G. SELTZER, JR.-Gen. Scientific Hairy, Bromo, Napoleon, Rabbi, Runt Class Base Ball, 41, Zelos, 35 Thespian, 44. No, dear readers, that growling is not that of a prehistoric monster, but merely t'Bromo Seltzer giving his daily chant in the locker room. When the photographer took this pic- ture he almost died of fright, but gained con- sciousness twenty minutes later. Hairy has a goodQ?j voice, and in assemblies can be heard singing above Cand aheadj of the rest of the school. Rabbi is often seen with Johnny' Neihart doing the Charleston in the Calvary Men's Minstrel. A death blow has been dealt to Ellis Mills, for Harry quit them cold. Runt is often heard to mutter Janet, in his day dreaming. NVe do not know what Napoleon,' intends to do after graduating, but we know that he will succeed in whatever he undertakes. So long, Hairy! .EUUUEM l Z Q.-rl .... I l l. 4 1: l....Jf Q9 5?,Qg.. at E,

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!

VVell, folks, this is Shinny, the Solomon of our class, wise cracks and all. He has more wives, however, than that noble person ever thought of having. His Esthers, Helens, Eleanors and Dorothys are too numerous to enumerate. Goofy's Charleston steps are known far and wide, and woe be it to any fair damsels who once glide over a dance floor in this good-lookingC?J chap's arms. He is one of a group of nuts known to them- selves as the t'Four Horsemen. He may always be found with such bums as Bob Hawman and Elmer Smith. All jokes aside, though, Yap is a good student, and all things point toward his success. So long, Shinny, the class is hack of you till the sea goes dry. ISADORE IRWIN SINGER-Commercial UDoPey,7! HIzzy,!7 Kllrvii Zelos, 1, 2, 3, 4-. One sometimes sees a sober youth travers- ing the school halls, pondering, deep in the intricacies of thought, for indeed it is Dopey figuring out a method by which he will evade the ensuing teacher's wrath. But, on the whole, Izzy is a good fellow, and although he has aroused some curiosity as to the purport of several mysterious actions Cwe wonder what's in that bag that he carries out Ninth Street every other dayj, he expects to make a prominent appearance some day. Probably Irv has formulated a method by which alchemy is made possible. Who knows. At least, if he continues in awe of passing generations, he is bound to become some- thingf' ELMER SMITH-Technical Smitty, Elmah No, girls, this is not Charlie Chaplin, it is Smitty, the sheik of Robesonia. Elmah is one of the silent men of the class, and, al- though he is seen but never heard, he can always be found in the company of such well- known characters as Tubby and Bob Recently, Smitty visited Robesonia and began to take an interest in basket ball, which is largely due to the fact that a cer- tain party by the name of Janet - is on the Robesonia High basket ball team. He is a loyal rooter for Robesonia High, and at every game he can be seen cheering for her, In spite of all this, Elmah is one of Mr. Kis- singerts honored pupils in the profession which he intends to follow. Well, goodbye and good luck, Smitty!,'
