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

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.

49x ,--,j,! .,,,, is ...f X THE EPITOME ANTHONY L. VATH-Technical Ant, Tony, Handsome Tech Club, 2. Don't rush, ladies, you may all see the Romeo of '26 June. Ant is one of the best looking fellows in the classg thatis why she calls him Handsome, Leaving all joking aside, t'Tony is a business man. He is gen- eral manager of the carpet tack department in one of the large hardware stores in the 800 block of North Tenth Street. Ant is also a good basket ball player. Ask him yourself. He plays score keeper with the well-known Olivet team. Sincerely, though, we know that '26 June will be proud of Handsome as one of its products. QUENTEN WEIDNER-Technical uBud,u acDuke,:r ssozzyfv uQ. Rin Bronze Scholarship, 3, Numeral Committee, 3. Policemen! Prohibition agents! Money lenders! Do you recognize the adjacent physiognomy? It is none other than our friend '4Ozzy. He is one of the daredevils who defies death by walking through the boulevards of our beautiful city wearing wall-paper shirts without police protection. Duke is a proud owner of a pipe with an odor that would put the German poison gas to shame. This is not the only flaw in his immaculate character. Helen is believed to be the cause of many imperfect chemistry recitations. CHe is becoming so accom- plished on the cornet, it is believed that some day he will replace the Angel Gabriel.j With all seriousness, however, Bud is a good fellow, and '26 June is sure he will succeed in whatever he undertakes. CHARLES WIN K-Technical Tubby, Tiny, Buttercup, Fat Class Foot Ball, 4,4 Tech Club, 2, Stamp and Coin Club, 1. Ah, ha! Here he is, Charles Wink, known to all as Fat.,' This appellation he has had ever since childhood, and is caused by gen- erous proportions. 'He has, every school dayt' during the last four years, taken a street car for three blocks and received a transfer to save himself a walk of one block. This is an error, as Fat has a habit of playing hookey about two days every week. On the subject of radio, it may be said he has one of his own construction. He says that he gets California on his set, and has verified it on several occasions. As he has taken up printing, we are sure that he will print his way to success. Good luck, Tiny!',
