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.

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 .

THE EPITOME HENRY ELMER THOMAS-Technical uPud,n ul-lens, u'l-ol-n,n uljernn Class Base Ball, 1, 24 Varsity Base Ball, 3, 413 Class Basket Ball, 1, 2, 3g Varsity Basket Ball, 413 Class Foot Ball, 3, 41. The illustrious gentleman pictured above is none other than the mighty Hen. We wonder if this supreme anatomy procured his name through a liking for chickens. Tom sure haunts the biology laboratory, and we honestly believe ,he is trying to learn all he can about Ferns Pud knows his ouions', when it comes to base ball and basket ball, as he has varsity experience in both sports. Therefore, ladies and gentle- men, how can he help but be popular? Good looksC?b, athletic ability and a vast knowl- edge of women. Who under the sun could want more? Lehigh, realize the honorable personage you are receiving within your por- tals. Reading High, realize that you are losing one of the real fellows of this Class '26 June. J. P. TURNER, JR.-v-Technical Pickles, Reel, Buttercup, Rhoda Thespians, 1, 25 Zelos Chaplain, 3. Here he comes---there he goes. The only Caveman in the class. Flip is a fast fel- low and he lets no grass grow under his feet. Ask Francis, she knows. She thinks he is very sweet and therefore he got the name of Pickles, Red is a member of the history society or the B. B. B., or Brillhart's Booby By-products. He is the official electric fan tester of Mr. Kissinger. One day he got his nose too near and cut part off, and since then has nose trouble. WVell, we know Phil will make good in this electrical world, so here's good luck, Phil, The class is in back of you. ALOYSIUS VATH-Technical Whitey, Brute, Big Boy, Vicious Philos, 2, 3, 45 Editor Tech News, 3, Tech Club, 2, 35 Treasurer, 34 Camera, 1, 2, 3g Red and Black Printer, 445 Chairman Cap and Gown Committee. Ladies and gentlemen, don't be alarmed by the name, this is only the Big Boy of our class. The girls will say Isn't he cute? Vicious is very fond of trigonometry. He says that after the teacher is finished speak- ing of pi he is so hungry that he could eat the logs Whitey was treasurer of the Tech Club, and for this reason it dissolved. Brute has a soft spot in his heart for the female sex, especially for Marie S. Vicious has now gained fame by printing the Red and Black, and we all hope that he will soon be head of the Printing Depart- ment. Whitey expects to be a printer, and we wish him to be the best of type.,' , :Ef'fi':' 3 - ,Q .W in J., X ' 7 - C... ...er-J 5, l. ,, Q r
