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!',

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 CHARLES I. WISE-Technical Choc, Charley, NC. L, Chas Bronze Scholarship, 1g Class Nu- meral, 3, Camera, 2. Gaze, ladies and gentlemen, on the accom- panying complexion. The whiskers simply refuse to grow on Charley's face. Four other fellows cantt keep track of Choc's women. Those fellows are the rest of that exclusive club, The Sigma Delts. After UC. I. is finished weighing a mean pound of boloney at the crystal Palace, he either pro- ceeds to the Rat Race, where he meets his ladies, or he drubs the ivories for the Lon- downtown serenaders. He won a bronze scholarship and decided that it was not en- tirely collegiate to have a better one, there- fore-oh, well fyou know the storyj. What- ever you do in Philadelphia, Whiskers, We know you will be a success, and they will be just as proud of you as we are. C. FRED YEAGER--General Scientific Fritz, Fred, Farmer Look, girls. Don't rush. Form in a single line. This is a reproduction of the youngest nian of the class. QHe is no professorj VVell, putting all jokes aside, Fred', is an all-around good fellow. NVe have heard that he expects to be a farmer. He is going to Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. We won- der what important business Fred has to transact on North Eleventh Street, it must be very important, as he is there about seven times a week. About once a week Fred', steps in the assembly and starts tickling the ivories. Oh, Music, where thy tongue! Well, Fred,', we wish you all the success at college. ROBERT F. YEAGER-General Scientific uBobn Class Foot Ball, 4. Company, halt! Behold, ladies and gentle- men, one of the Loonies of the 'Citizens' Military Training School at Camp Meade. Bob is one of the many fellows from Reading High who have attained this rank after many months of training. He is always the center of disturbance in the vicinity of room 107, in the company of Tubby and Smitty, Bob is somewhat of a sheik, and can always be heard talking about Evelyn, Helen or Suz. His woman-draw- ing qualities are in his wonderful hair. Bob is really a good fellow, and after leaving school he intends to enter a well-known school of pharmacy, where he hopes to learn something of the drug business. Goodbye, Bob, and good luck! 111 fc Q. -',f ' I f,....,a UU E 5 Oi ii --79: x 4:-,.1, -1 is-gi:-L.. X
