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!,'

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,

THE EPITOME 413 LE. VAN PRETZMAN SMITH- General Scientific uFat,n asGrace,11 u'rub,n usrnittyn Class Basket Hall, 1, 2, 3, Scrub, 3g Varsity, 43 Class Base Ball, 1, 24 Ealing. dggillg Varsity, 3, 44, Class Foot Ball, 1, 2g Varsity, 3, 41. Step close, girls, and gaze upon this marvel of the ages. What a specimen of human physiognomy the gods have imposed upon us. This noble visage belongs to the greatest caveman and lady killer of the class and whose smiling countenance has deceived many a damsel. Here of late you can see Fat strutting his stuff on North Ninth Street with Gracef?j. 'fSmitty is an all-around athlete in school and is a wonderful scholar, but how he does it we do not know. He is either naturally bright or has a pull. Tub is a good fellow and has given his support to the class and school activities. VVe are sure he will succeed, so the best of luck, old boy! SPENCER SMITH-Commercial Spence, Smitty Class Base Ball, 2. Here, folks, is a rather funny character, because he seems so quiet and bashful, but just wait till you know him, then you will change your opinion. Once this past winter, when Spence was on a sleigh ride with Mart, she made him walk all the way home from .State Hill. Sounds bad, doesn't it? Spencer's boss told him he must have been feeling good when he had this picture taken, because on the rest of his prints he looked sober. But we happen to know that Spence is always sober. He made a big hit at the Senior Prom-four girls slapped his face. VVith all these faults, Spence will some day be a successful business man, and the class wishes him luck. Goodbye! CARL SNYDER-Commercial Snitz Bronze Scholarship. Behold, ladies and gentlemen! You are now looking upon the beautiful countenance of none other than Snitz Snyder himself. Although Snitz', is small in stature, he is a giant in intellectual ability and possesses a great deal of wit and humor. Every day Snitz can be seen going to his usual place of business, where hc hopes to accomplish great things in the future. Although he is not an enemy of women, there does not seem to be a woman at the present who has claim for him. His greatest ambition is to be- come an expert accountant, and we know that Snitz will he successful. The Class off '26 June wishes him the best of luck that can be gotten. 4 -... ,, x M13 3 1 .
