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 .

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 is-'.. Z . 'vs 4. l F U U Q .LJ , .... . X.. . IZIII lr E RALPH L. SNYDER-Latin Scientific UDOCH Stamp and Coin Club, 3. Don't be alarmed, girls, it's only the living skeleton of Doc Snyder. Old Doc is surely the German sharkC?D. VVhenever you enter his German class you can always hear him above the restf This occurs only during translation, because he is always criticizing his classmates. He has reformed along the line of women and has now attained the honor of being a woman hater. lSnyder's greatest ambition is to be a doctor, and we know that he will be successful because of his great ability. Doc intends to further his education at U. of P., and we all hope you succeed in this worthy ambition. So long! WILBUR SPATZ-Latin Scientific Spatzie, Will, B. V. D. Gold Scholarship Button, Assistant Treasurer, 1g Philos, 41. All hail! Here comes K'VVillie,', Caesar's only rival in Latin composition! And, would you believe it, he says he never studies. VVill is an ardent supporter of the Philos, and ofttimes, upon a Thursday morning, this otherwise quietC?j chap can be heard vio- lently declaiming. HB. V. D. didn't go in for any sports, however, for, as he tells us, he wants the other fellows to have a chance. Spatzie would have us believe that he is a woman hater, but we begin to have our doubts when we hear him muttering about 'iMary. Billy intends to continue his studies at Lafayette, where we are sure he will make a success. Goodbye and good luck, Spatzie! JOHN W. STOUT-General Scientific Jack, Stouty, No, 1 Committee Class Advisor, 1. Ladies and gentlemen, gaze on this bit of art. 1t's no other than the countenance of our sheik Stouty. Every time Jack goes to a dance fwhich is very oftenj, he orders them to put sand dn the floor so he feels at home. No. 1 can be found at home from 1.30 A. M. to 8 P, M. He is high up in so- ciety, being second assistant property man for the V. T. K. Society. Almost any night you can see him with QI don't want to men- tion the one and not the others, and I canit have a whole pagej. His greatest am- bition is to become Mayor Cmarej of Stony Creek Mills, and I am sure he will reach his ambition. So here's luck from your good old Class '26 June.
