LEVAN, Secretary to Principal MISS M. ELIZABETH POETTER, Clerk Arln Principal's Foreword To the Boys of 1927 Feb1 z.mry.' School days, and especially High School days, when spoken of in retrospect, are generally referred to as the happiest days in one's life. VVhen thus in a reminiscent mood this volume will prove i11- valuable. We have recorded here what will be a part of the history of our school as you, yourselves, have written it. Fond memories will be aided as you turn its pages. Valedictories occasion serious- ness. They cause one to think of the achievements and failures of the past. I would that this parting work might carry with it encourage- ment and good cheer for the future. May the lessons you have learned here help you meet, manfully, the work of the world as you confront it. ' You will always find a hearty welcome here. We hope your visits may be frequent. We most earnestly urge you to tell us wherein your training failed to meet the demands of your position. You can thus render a valuable service to your school by helping us to adjust our programs of work to meet life situations more adequately. This is still your school, although you have left it. Help to keep it an institution of whicl1 you may justly be proud. ' JOHN H. EISENHAUER, ' Principal. The Class Qfi 392? FEBRUARY HSIT VERITAS DUXM Officers of the Class F ENTON I.

Xvhen we think of Webster and Lincoln, -it is only natural that we think of our own debater and orator, Sidney, Each student endeavors to contribute some good to his school, and R. H. S. may feel proud of such an efficient orator as Sid. Ever since he overcame the embarrassment common to a freshman, he took n great deal of interest in debating and oratorical work. His favorite subject is in holding up the cause of Bolshevism. Playing in a regular position on our scrub foot ball team, proves to us that he has a powerful physicul struetureC?j and that he takes an interest in athletics as well as in studies. Vifith such It background, the class is sure he will meet no life problem too large for his abilities. ERNEST H.

Ernie has an ardent love for present teachers and those who are to be! VVe huve often wondered if Ernie is taking an extension course at Kutztown or whether he loves to be amidst the beautiful scenery there. Ernie has played his part on the foot ball team exceedingly well, and we know if he tackles his life work with the szune enthusiasm that he will be a sure winner. 12 THE EPITOME I e' f - -s g ' l 5 I .5 Q r l -i-E64 f X 'f x E 'Wife , i 'IPEB E i ..

Step up, you romantically inclined, here is the boy you've been loking for. Come, behold in this fair lad the realization of your most idealistic dream. ln those soft eyes there shines a mellow light, the outward sign of a poetic soul. One glance at that inspir- ing view shows that he should have been born in the days of knights and princesses, the age of golden dreams, evil knights and avenging heroes. Such an unromantic and com- monplace thing as a High School for Boys bores him, he says. Heis a. little shy at first, hut when he gets acquainted, they tell us that he is a wonderful chap. When he has finished the business of graduation, he vows that he is going to knock the world cold with his fiery brain and skillful hand. Seriously, we believe he will succeed, for Russ is a good fellow and one of the most dependable in the class. ARLINGTON BRITTON-Commercial Ollie, Abie-, Brit Base Ball, lg Hi-Y, 4. Gaze upon the only detective of the class. He is the greatest defective in Berks County and nearby places, including Fidelity Street. NVhen it comes to finding a des- perado, Ollie is there, because he got the habit of going after someone by trailing the girls up and down Penn Street every Thursday evening after Hi-Y meeting. NVe' often wonder why Brit hangs around the doctor's oiiice at Fifteenth and Perkiomen Avenue so much. XVe are sure he is not always sick. Since Peg became a member of Die- tz-ich's Dizzy Dudes, he started to go to dances and admire a certain Peg Laying all jokes aside, the class wishes you the best of luck in the business world! x THE EPITOME 13 3 it - Ny f.

Oh, we shed a tear for the hearts that shall break after this next sen- tence. There is no hope! John is already practically married. And her name is Mary. 0, most fortunate female creature! She knows an intelligent man when she sees one, and no kiddin', for Johnny is really a smart feller and as popular with the rest of us as pie for breakfast.

If lightlyfilj touched on the back while passing classes, you may feel certain that it is Johnny, who demands your immediate attention. John, being a little fellow, delights in picking on the six-footers. It is the hope of '27 Feb. that he applies the same principles in life and tackles the large problems found there, for we are sure that he will solve them in his usual confident manner. In school he has taken much interest in class ath- letics, especially basket ball. John looks like a grade school pupil, but spoils it all when he is seen riding around in his so-called automobile. One of his nicknames tends to give away a secret, but that's all right, Johnny. S'l0ng!

That is not all. Before the photographer could make Edye smile he had to hire '27 Feb.'s noted humor editor to do his stuff. Eddy sure gave the camera the haw-haw' then. Eddy's favorite expression is Jazz, let me compare my '1'rig. with yours. Aside from that, he has -the ear-marks of a hard worker. He is always seen doing something or nothing, more or less. Outside of school, he gives his service to a local press firm, and if he keeps on pressing we are sure he will make his mark.

Boys, do you get the picture? Regard with your optic lobes this specimen of the Class of '27 Feb. Student Elmah is an all-around fellow, and, as can be seen above, Jazz has been very active in the scholastic and athletic relations of this institution. Jap expects to matriculate at the University of Pennsylvania, where he will study archi- tecture. He is already quite an artist and draws many girls. Recently, one of these has been drawn away from him, but that's all right. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, Although we all must part, we will never forget Jass and his chop suey accent.

For years Art has been interested in this kind of work and has been Dr. Mengel's right-hand man. If he is not working a camera, he can be found prowling around the Museum. Ericksen's parents hail from the Scandinavian Peninsula, although he was born in this country. XVhen he was about ten years old, he visited his fatherland. Many times in classes hetells extremely interesting tales of that far-away country. Lief is interested in dramatics, and has been a member of the Thespians for four years.

Contrary to the usual appearance of gifts, this one is often seen on the doorsteps of this certain party. Do not judge Eshie by what you have read, however, for many good things could be said concerning him. Ellie intends to build houses with bricks when his school days come to an end.

You can't blame Sheik for that, because he likes to be in the swim. It is whispered that this mental giantC?l was often the life of the biology class, but we can easily account for that, since biology has a lot of monkey business in it. He is quite an authority on rudiosg in fact, in all indoor amusement. He is also a, pianist of note, because he can see sharp, yet be fiat. An all-around fellow like Dick will surely make his mark.

Dick was a member of the Culver Rowing Crew, which beat the Great Lakes Naval Academy this summer. He is the only Reading fellow that has ever made the Varsity rowing crew at Culver. Dizzy is also the chamf- pion walker of the class, receiving his experience walking home from Reading to Reiifton every Saturday night for Sunday morningj from Anne's house.

Charley has both good looks and a fine personality, which has won him many friends, especially with the opposite sex.

THE EPITOME 415 Earralaurratv Svermun BY REV. ROBERT H. ISCHINGER, Pastor St. John's Lutheran Church. Sunhag, Zlannarg 15111, 1927, at 11 A. BH. John 6:68- Lord, to whom shall we go ? My Dear Young Friends: Among the Mohammedans there is a-belief that once in life to each individual comes a day on which every desire of the heart may be fulfilled. The only re- quisite is that one be wide-awake and ready to take advantage of this day of miracles, for it will never return again. There is but one Day of Days, as it is called, in every life. Today the world lies open before you. Having finished such an important lap in the journey of life as indicated by your approaching graduation, your Day of Days is here and brings with it the promise of fulfillment of every desire cher- ished in your hearts. Q Natural abilities and personal preferences coupled with the circumstances of life and environment in which you find yourself will largely determine the profes- sion you will choose for your life-calling. However, to make a success in this it will behoove every one of you seriously to consider what course to pursue in this life and to lay your plans accordingly. VVhen a vessel leaves the shelter of the harbor on a journey across the ocean, the first thing its captain will do is to lay the course the ship must take to reach its destination. Having left the shelter of the school in which you have prepared yourselves for the journey through life, it is most necessary that you determine now the course which is to bring you to your destination. e livery well equipped mariner possesses a compass, which will keep him and his ship true to the course he has decided on. The wanderer through life has a similar compass. Its needle, however, is not made of steel, nor is it guided by the force of magnetism. The needle of the compass of life is the will of man and its guiding principle is his heart's desire. Unlike the needle of the magnetic com- pass, it will not point constantly to the North, but its direction will vary as the desire of the heart may direct the will of man. It is well for any traveler to know the character of the country towards which he is journeying. Knowing the dangers and difficulties of the road, he will have an opportunity to prepare himself so that he may reach his destination safely. For this reason our young men and women will be well advised if they will cast their eyes over the geography of life before attempting to continue their journey. As you stand today on the pinnacle of 1ife's first success the world lies open before you. There is no one to hinder you from going to the East or the XVest, the North or the South. It is for you to decide which direction you are to take. Probably the most traveled and easiest route to pursue through life is that to the South, to life's tropics, to the Land of Pleasure. The road leading in this 4-6' THE EPITOME direction is easy to find and easy to travel. In the beginning it is level, but gradu- ally it leads down grade. There are many attractions which entice the wanderer to travel South to a land seemingly full of enchantment. Along the road many beautiful flowers and luscious fruits may be found, which may be had for the picking. Sparkling springs and murmuring brooks alleviate the thirst of the wanderer. Trees of rich foliage beckon the weary and the indolent to rest in their shade. Brightly plumed birds Hit through the trees and bushes and sing the wan- derer to sleep. But as he slumbers the miasma of life's tropics envelopes him. VVhen he rises to resume his journey he is weakened in body and soul. But that is not the worst. As the wanderer continues on his journey, everything about him is changed. The beautiful flowers are faded. The sweet fruit turns to bitterness in his mouth. The springs taste of poison. The song of the birds has turned into the croaking of the ravens. No tree invites him into its shade for slumber and rest. Feverishly the disenchanted pilgrim hastens on, seeking an exit from what has now become to him a deadly jungle. But weakened as he is, enfeebled in body and mind, he stumbles and falls again and again. And then the true char- acter of the Land of Pleasure reveals itself. The beasts of the jungle attack the hapless wanderer, birds of prey rend his body, insects burrow in his entrails till only the skeleton is left, a mute witness to the life here ended. But not for long. The fetid vegetation of the jungle covers the bones and decay eradicates the last vestige of the gruesome tragedy. The Land of Pleasure is the land of death and decay. Turning to the East, an imposing spectacle meets the eyes of the pilgrim ready to set out on the journey of life. Far in the distance rises a mountain glittering and glistening in the rays of the rising sun. It appears to be made of pure gold. The road that leads to it is the road of riches. And behold, there are millions who are hastening to reach it. But not every one may take this path. He who wishes to ascend the mountain of gold must first barter away his God, the love to his fel- lowmen, his friends, his honor, his conscience and many other things dear to the heart of man. Yet there are many who are willing to pay the price. However, of the millions striving to reach the mountain but few succeed. Most of them fall exhausted by the wayside, unable to continue the mad race or to overcome the difficulties of the ascend. The few who really do succeed in climbing the mountain are no better off than they. As the sun of life sinks in the West and the shadows of night appear, that which they thought to be pure gold turns into cold and worthless stone, fool's gold. Dcspairseizes them, for that for which they have sold everything forsakes them and mocks them in their last hour. . The road to riches leads not to a mountain of true gold, but to death and despair. . To the North another mountain meets the gaze of the wanderer. It is ex- ceedingly high, its sides are steep,while the top, crowned with eternal ice and snow, is almost inaccessible to the foot of man. The majestic grandeur of this moun- tain is in keeping with its name. It is the Mountain or Honor. The road leading to this forbidding-looking mountain is not traveled as much as that leading to the East or South. The difficulties of the road and the almost impossible ascend dis- courage most pilgrims. He who desires to reach the pinnacle of the Mountain of Honor must travel light. He cannot be encumbered by unnecessary companions on the way. He must forsake his God, trample on the affections of' his family and friends and quench the spark of love and conscience within himself. In every century of the history of the world but one or two succeed in reaching the summit. Most of the travelers on- this path fall exhausted before coming any- , THE EPITOME 47 wheres near the top, and they perish, forgotten by the world. The few Who do reach the summit reach it alone. And there, in the chill atmosphere of eternal ice and snow, they meet their doom. The path of glory leads but to the grave. T here is one more direction in which the wanderer through life may go. It leads towards the West, toward a mountain, the top of which is hidden in the clouds. Its slopes are bare and unpromising. There are no shady dells inviting the pilgrim to rest, no veins of gold to rouse his cupidity, nospraise or honor to spur him on. It is the Mountain of Self-sacrifice and Service. Of all the four roads of life the one leading to this mountain is the least frequented. Millions go South to the Land of Pleasure, millions hasten East to the Mountain of Gold, thousands strive for honor and glory and travel to the North, but only the few choose the road to the VVest to dedicate their lives to self-sacrifice and service. And yet, though the way be weary and the ascend heart-breaking, the mystery of the mountain top hidden in the clouds of eternity ever attracts faithful souls who strive to reach its summit. Those who have ever seriously attempted this path are strengthened miraculously to keep on even under the most trying circum- stances. There is an unseen hand that guides them safely past all pitfalls and snares. A mysterious power strengthens the Weak and the weary. And no mat- ter how feeble the wanderer may be, how little his strength, it is always possible for him to assist another brother or sister on this path and keep them from falter- ing. He who seeks the mystery of the mountain top of self-sacrifice and service out of love to God and his fellowmen will not fail to attain his goal, for Jesus is with him. And, ah, what a miracle when the veil of clouds has been pierced and the summit has been reached. Life's setting sun, as it goes down in the West discloses to him the beauty of paradise, the unsearchable riches in the heart of jesus and the honor and glory of fellowship with God. Having spurned the pleasures, riches and honors of the world, the pilgrim on this path at the end of his journey, instead of meeting with disillusionment, despair and death, finds God and life eternal. Then Jesus said unto the twelve, XVill ye also go away ? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. . '27 Feb. Class Song GVords and Music by LeRoy E.

Out from a land despoiled I come. O teach me my new nation's plan To live a True American. I can, O Starry Flag, I can! Jugoslavia is a new name for an old country. When the name is analzyed, it means the land of the southern Slavs. Before the country received the name of jugoslavia, one-half of it was known as Serbiag the other half was called Croatia and Slovenia. The Serbians were continually menaced by the Turks, whom they finally drove out only a few years before the outbreak of the tragic W'orld War. The incessant struggle for freedom, naturally, hindered Serbian progress. The Croatians and the Slovenians, on the other hand, were under the yoke of Austria-Hungary, a government which made little effort to encourage their progress. The Serbians, the Croatians, and the Slovenians speak the same language, for they are one people 3 but, due to various inliuences and the lack of adequate communication, a religious difference rose between them, the Serbians belonging to the Greek Orthodox Church, the others to the Roman Catholic. With this general and brief background, we are ready to look at conditions in' my home town, Cherevich, which, a decade ago, was located in the Austrian territory, along the southern bank of the Danube, near the boundary of Serbia. Both Serbians and Croatians dwelt in the town, making the total number of inhabitants about four thousand. Unfortunately, the two people could not live together peacefully. Their respective religions made them enemies instead of friends. Today most of the inhabitants are peasants. There are only a few artisans: blacksmiths, shoemakers, tailors, carpenters, and the like. Many of the people, especially the older persons, are illiterate and ignorant of the world outside their immediate vicinity. It is only natural that they should be primitive, that their wants should be simple. ' Into this town a school made its way, but because of its slight influence it failed to illuminate the darkness that existed around it. The course, lasting five years, consisted primarily of reading, writing and arithmetic. In the fourth and fifth grades the pupils were taught some of the simpler Bible stories, a few of the beautiful events in Austro-Hungarian history, along with a little of geography 50 THE EPITOME concerning Austria-Hungary and the immediate vicinity. When the pupil reached the age of twelve, his public school education stopped. There were higher schools outside of Cherevich, but the tuition and other expenses connected with them were beyond the poor man's means. I attended the school regularly, taking advantage of its humble gift. Wlieii I had completed the live-year course, my teacher persuaded my well-to-do uncle to finance my higher schooling. I enrolled as a private student in the nearest high school fabout twelve miles awayj. VV e bought the necessary books there, but I studied at home under the guidance of my grade school teacher. Every semester I went back to the high school for examination. This plan, however, was destined to be short-lived. The deadly influenza came with all tragedy. My .tutor became critically ill, and my father passed away. There was only one th-ing to do now- choose a trade and then become an apprentice. Otherwise I would become a laborer, like my father before me. But though my education was limited, it was extensive enough to give me a glimpse into the future. In that moment I had a vision of myself, a human creature, emerging from the dim places where the torch of knowledge had never been, to a new sunny land in the NV est, where one is judged by what he can do and not by what he has. There I decided to go. I-Iastily I wrote my brother in America, informing him of my desire and asking his advice concerning the trade that would be of most advantage to me in America. He answered that since I was determined to come sooner or later, the best time to come would be at once, while I was young and most eager 5 that America is the place to prepare for a life thereg that he would furnish the necessary expense, amounting to about S200.00. Light ahead! My heart beat with joy as I ran with the letter in my hand to break the good news to my mother. But lo! her smile vanished. My purpose, however, could not be changed. I felt that this was the turning point in my life, and the opportunity might never come again. A few months passed in preparation. I-Ioary winter found me on the ocean on my way to my new horneg the New Year set me on its very threshold, New York City. On the 5th of January I came to Reading. Since no one knew when I would come, there was no one at the station to meet me. Alone I made my way up Penn Street until I met a man, who, after I showed him my brother's address, took me by the hand and led me to the street car station at Sixth and Penn, paid my fare, and explained to the conductor where I was going. I had been in Read- ing but ten minutes and had found a friend! ' Shortly after my arrival I was taken to the night school for foreigners. The teacher, smiling, shook hands with me and welcomed me in words that I could not understand, while I stood there smiling back. From the night school the kind teacher transferred me to the day school. The kindness and patience of those teachers and the friendliness of all who surrounded me made a lasting impres- sion upon me. In every room the American Flag hung on the wall, and every day the pupils salute it. I, too, stood up and saluted my new Flag in words of my native language: O moya nova zastava, moya nova zemlya-tebe pozdravlyam Q O my new Flag, my new land-thee I salutenj until I learned to say with them: I pledge allegiance to my Flag, And to the country for which is stands. One nation, indivisible, - With liberty and justice for all. Six years have passed. I have made many devoted friends, who have led me out of a state of obscurity into an open sun-lit field, where obstacles have thinned and opportunities have crowded to meet me. THE EPITOME 51 Opportunity! America, this is thy priceless gift to rich and poor, to native and foreign-born alike. My friends, I, who but yesterday stood at your gate a stranger, thank America for the opportunities which she has bestowed upon me. These privileges, my friends, have ever been yours. Love them, cherish them, defend them as a rich heritage. . I have caught something of thy spirit, Americag I have grasped thy great ideals. Tomorrow I shall join with you in My country, 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing. Our fathers' God, to thee, Author of liberty, To thee we sing. Long may our land be bright VVitl1 f1'CCdOl11,S holy lightg Protect us by thy might, Great God, our King. V To the Superintendent of Schools, the Assistant Superintendent, and Mem- bers of the Board of Directors: VVe, the Class of 1927 February, wish to ex- press to you our sincere appreciation of the splendid educational opportunities which you have provided for us. VVe thank you most heartily and bid you farewell To our Principal, our Vice-Principal, our Faculty Advisor, and Members of the Faculty: Our words cannot express, much less repay, our debt to you. Your lives have been dedicated in our behalf. Your immortal influence upon us as molders of our character will become more deeply ingrained in our hearts as time goes on. Ere we go forth in quest of the ideals which you pointed out to ns, we linger for a moment to grasp your hands, express our heartfelt thanks, and bid you farewell. Fellow Classmates: Today each one of us stands, as I stood a few years since, on the threshold of a new land, a new life. Time bids us enter. As we journey along, let us ever carry with us those ideals, those bonds of fellowship established among us at the old Reading High. Farewell! SALUTATORY Companions on the Road to Success LE ROY E. SNYDER Ladies and Gentlemen: Speaking for the faculty and the Class of 1927 February of the High School for Boys, I bid you a most hearty welcome to these our Commencement exercises. Prior to the outbreak of war between Spain and the United States during McKinley's administration, it was necessary to secure the co-operation of General Garcia, the leader of the Insurgents in Cuba. There was a message to be sent, but President McKinley found it difficult to secure anyone competent to perform this exceedingly dangerous task. The President was told of a man named Rowan, who had the ability and skill needed to deliver this message. Rowan was sent for and was given the necessary instructions. He did not think of the dangers along 52 THE EPITOME the wayg he remembered only that he was doing his duty. He strapped the mes- sage over his heart and set out. It was, indeed, a dangerous task. Rowan was compelled to travel on foot, for there were no other means of communication. He had to traverse a hostile country. If he had been caught, he would have had to pay the penalty of a spy. During part of the trip he journeyed in an open boat. The land over which he had to travel was marshy and disease-breeding. But Rowan delivered the mes- sage successfully and returned to this country. Let us change these characters into abstract beings. Let us make President McKinley play the part of Opportunityg Garcia the part of Success. Let us think of Rowan's route as the road to Success, and let us pretend that each one of us is Rowan. But Rowan was so unlike us. He never had a High School edu- cation as has been our opportunityg yet he had made companions of abstract things, which enabled him to take the message, strap it over his heart, and over- come the difficulties which lay in his way. As we journeyed through High School we should have made companions of these same abstract beings. Tomorrow Opportunity will challenge each one of you to carry a message to Success. Your most important companion for the trip will be Incentive, for he is the one who will set you out on the Road to Success. VVhen Opportunity comes to you and asks you whether you will carry the message, it is then that your little friend, Incentive, will spur you on. I-Ie will tell you that he will get his brothers and sisters to help you overcome your ditiiculties. He will show you how wonderful and glorious it is to carry a message to Success. He will make you so enthusiastic that you. like Rowan, will strap the message over your heart and set out on a run down the Road to Success. Your road, like Rowan's, will be iilled with obstacles and difficulties 3 but if you have made companions of Incentive's brothers and sisters you will be able to overcome your handicaps. You will need Incentive's two sisters, Integrity and Inspiration, and his two brothers, Intelligence and Industry. The Road to Success is straight, but it is a continual ascend. Soon you will see a cool, shady nook on the way. You will be tempted to stop and rest, for you will be tired and footsore. Your little friend, Industry, will prevent you. He will tell you that this is the place called Rest, and that men who travel on this road must not loiter. He will say, Great and successful men do not know what rest is. I have told you so often, but I will tell you again that 'The heights by great men reached and kept W'ere not attained by sudden Hightg But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upwards in the night' Your little friend, Industry, has saved you from the place where Laziness and Slothfulness abide. Industry's advice has given you new life, and you again start on the climb upward. The further you go, the more rough your way will become, and soon again you will begin to tire and grow weary. Your spirits will soon brighten, for ahead you will see that the road forks. The one road is smooth, while the other one is rough. As you come to the parting of the Ways, you will turn to go on the smooth road, for on the sign-post you will see the words, A Short cut to Success. Integrity will grasp you by the coat sleeve and say, I have helped you many times before and here again you have need of me. This smooth road is no short cut to Success, for there is no such thing. Those who would reach Success must take the long and rough road. You will continue on the rough road, and soon Despair will throw her shadows of gloom about you. You will be ready to turn back, when you will see your little glowing friend, Inspiration. Inspiration will furnish you with light during this period of Despair. THE EPITOME 53 The light will finally overcome the shadows, and again it will be day. You will then pass through a land where people will attempt to turn you from your path and rob you of your message. Your friend, Intelligence, will-asure you that he will save you from these crafty people. In this land, many people will attempt to deceive and outwit youg but each time Intelligence will come to your assistance and you will pass on without any difficulty. You are nearing the top of the ascent. You will soon see a man whose hair is gray, but you can see that he is the man you have been seeking, for his Whole being shines with an indescribable brilliancy. You will say to him, Here is the message Opportunity gave me to deliver to you. Success will answer, As a reward I give you this key. This key unlocks the door to happiness, peace, and contentment. You have made friends of my children, whom I send among young men and women as helpmeets on the road. Take this key and enjoy the fruits of your labor. My classmates, many of us have failed to make companions of Incentive, Inspiration, Intelligence, Industry, and Integrity. But it is not too late to make their friendship. Tomorrow, when we go forth, let us make companions of the children of Success. They walk with us, they work with us, yet many of us have failed to know them. It is only with their aid that we can successfully carry il message to Success. f Let us make these companions and print indelibly upon our thoughts Long- fellow's lines, when he says: ' ' Trust no Future, how'er pleasant! Let the dead Past bury its dead! Act,-act in the living Present! Heart within and God o'erhead! Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fateg Still achieving, still pursuing, , Learn to labor and to wait. Sketch of Compaagn-cement Speaker Hon. I. XVarren Davis, the'Commencement speaker for the Class of 1927 Feb., is a well and favorably known Judge of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, situated in Philadelphia, Pa. Mr. Davis is a graduate of Bucknell University and Crozer Theological Seminary. He has also been a student at the University of Chicago, the University of Leipzig, and the University of Pennsylvania. He was a member of the New jersey State Senate dur- ing 19I2-13, and as such introduced and led the iight for much of the progressive legislation sponsored by President VVilson, who was at that time Governor of New jersey. Mr. Davis was appointed United States Attorney for the District of New jersey in IQI3, in which position he served until 1919, when he accepted the appointment as Judge of the United States District Court of New Jersey. He held this position until 1920, when he assumed the duties of his present position. Our class is particularly fortunate in having a man of such calibre deliver us the parting message as our school life ends and the real tasks of life begin.

We, the Class of 1927 February, entered Reading High in the cold, bleak months of winter in I923. Since we were the last four-year class to come into this institution, no new students entered for a year and a half afterwards be- cause of the Junior Highs. The upper-classmen frequently told us greenies to take the elevator to the third floor, etc. For three semesters we were the under- dogs, but eventually we emerged has leaders. . At our first class meeting Earl Westbrook was elected President. Mr. Mount- joy was chosen as our Faculty Advisor. Before our freshman year was com- pleted Earl l1Vestbrook left school, and James Rick, 3rd, the Vice-President, served out the year as leader. The Sophomore year saw a change in officers, Fenton Laucks being elected President. Marshall Huey was re-elected as Treasurer and has retained that ofhce straight through. Riley Moyer was elected Secretary. It was in this year that we selected our class numerals. As Mr. Mountjoy was transferred to an- other school, we elected Mr. Bunning as our new Faculty Head. Our Junior year saw a closely contested presidential election, in which James Rick, 3rd, came out in the lead. Nevin Hollinger was the Vice-President. Riley Moyer was again elected Secretary and Marshall Huey retained the Treasurer- ship. This year saw a complete change in the attitude of the members of the class, and they settled down to business. . Mr. Bunning left school, so we elected Mr. Oliver as our third Faculty Ad- visor. T he Ring and Pin Committee is to be congratulated on their fine choice. Our rings have been admired everywhere. 56 THE EPITOME At last we emerged as Seniors. Another presidential battle was waged, and our'President of the Sophomore year, Fenton Laucks, was again put at the head, with LeRoy Snyder as Vice-President. Riley Moyer and Marshall Huey were re-elected. John Heilman was chosen reporter. I i The Motto Committee submitted its Latin mottoes, and we selected Sit Veritas Dux - Let Truth Be Our Guide. Since our class is small, the amount of the dues was raised from 25 cents to 50 cents. Our last year has been ex- ceedingly busy and active. So far only the political side of our class has been mentioned. Though we are small, we have some very fine athletes in our midst. James Rick, 3rd, started his track career in the spring of 1924. He has served as captain for the last two years and as captain of cross-country for the last three.. Charles SchaeiTer for four years played varsity foot ball and was captain in 1925 and served as honorary captain in 1926. Stein, Zimmerman and Artz all were varsity men. Bill Coombs has been a basket ball and base ball star for years. Charles Schaeifer also was a star on the base ball nine. Huey and Thompson both did creditable work on the track and cross-country teams. Stuart ran cross-country his last year. Rohrbach played well on the foot ball reserves for two years. In the spring of 1926 our track team won the inter-class meet, nosing out '26 june. Last year our class basket ball team was runner-up in the Inter-Class League. . The Student Athletic Association was organized in the spring of 1926. james Rick, 3rd, was elected Vice-President and James Gilder was chosen class repre- sentative.This fall Rick was made President of the Association and Charles Schaeffer was elected class representative. Our fellow class members also lead most of the school societies and organi- zations: LeRoy Snyder as President of the Student Council, James Rick, 3rd, President of the Philos, Sidney Ables, President of the Zelosg John Heilman, twice President of the Thespians, and Allan Klopp, President of the Camera Club. Our social activities, particularly the Frolic and the Prom, were very success- ful, and they reflect credit upon those who had them in charge. Thus ends the history of our class for the period that we spent within old Reading High. lfVhat the future has in store for us must of necessity be re- vealed later. We are sure, however, that none will shirk, and that our record will be one of which all can be proud. I THE EPITOME 57 President's Address of Welcome Mothers and dads of the students of the Class of 1927 February, we bid you welcome to these, our class night exercises. W'e take great pleasure in having you with us this evening because our presence here this evening is due mainly to the innumerable sacrifices you have made and the many hopes you have cherished for the success of your sons. To our relatives and friends present, we extend a hearty welcome, realizing too that a part of our success is also due to the interest you have shown in our development during these most formative years of our life. XVe bid you welcome to these exercises tonight in order that you may see some of the qualities developed in us by our High School training. We shall strive to express these qualities by maintaining, for the most part, a spirit of mirth throughout the evening. These devlopments are due mainly to the influ- ence our home and faculty had upon us. Having ever held high ideals before us. and, with our motto, Sit Veritas Dux -Let Truth Be Our Guide-in our mind, our members enthusiastically entered the fields of athletics, oratory, and scholar- ship, greatly sacrificing to attain the highest possible score in these activities, VVhy? For their own honor? No, chiefly with the idea of raising to unlimited heights the glory of their Alma Mater, dear old Reading High. Loyalty! Faith! Pride! These qualities combined in any youth will always tend to make him a better citizen-the aim of our present day High School. Tomorrow is Commencement: the completion of school education for some of us, the beginning of a higher college education for the rest of us. But, in a larger sense, regardless of whether we engage in our vocation immediately or whether we enter broader fields of knowledge, Commencement means exactly the same thing to all of us: the happy realization that now start those critical tests of the fibre that was woven during the past. And I, with you, am sure that the members of ,27 Feb. will, in later life, make for themselves a name, just as they have done in their' High School days-a-name to be praised highly for its merit. And so tonight, sad with the thought that our good old High School days are over, but happy that we now shall have the opportunity to prove ourselves in practical life, we again welcomeyou, and promise we shall do our best to make this evening most enjoyable to you. 58 THE EPITOME Class Prophecy GEORGE R. ROSEN W'hen a fellow graduates, everyone seems to become suddenly interested in his future. The first th-ing they all want to know about him, when they hear he is about to leave school, is W'hat's he going to do now? Around com- mencement time your hear lots of folks wondering what's going to become of all these boys, now that their play days are over and they're face to face with the cruel world. Occasionally you run across an optimistic soul who warms your heart with something like this. Yes, your class is a fine crowd of promising young men-,' but yo-u you-ng people of today are such a giddy lot,' I just wonder wherc you'll be twenty-five years from now. I was reading in the paper only this morn- ing that 8521 of the inmates of Sing-Sing are boys under twenty-one. Now, usually, if a personiwouders what's going to happen twenty-five years from the present, the only thing that he can do about it is wait and jind outj but, remembering that most of you would find it rather difficult to keep track of all of us for such a long period, we decided to hustle things up a bit and reveal the whole story to you here this evening in the form of a little glimpse of our city in 1952. W' e got the information for this thing from a Hindu snake-charmerg so if you don't like pa-rits of it, you can't blame it on us. To tell the truth, I don't think the Hindu was any too honesty so please don't get offended if it sounds a trifle in- sulting in places. . Here it is: - It is night. Penn Square is lit up as bright as day by the huge, dazzling elec- tric signs hanging from the gigantic skyscrapers that line both sides of the street. Up in the air swarms of airplanes are flying about. Out in the middle of the square an immense mob is gathered around a platform. On the platform a man with beautiful teeth is biting the heads off of rattlesnakes. It is Marshall Huey. On the platform with him are Arlington Britton and Russell Bankes, and besides the platform there stands a fellow who looks very much like Jake Maier. These four are in the rattlesnake oil business, and the way they run it is quite a paying proposition. Huey does the entertaining, Britton the talking, Bankes hands out the bottles, and, while the attention of everyone is fixed on them, jake goes around among the crowd and picks pockets. Further up the street passionate strains of music are floating out of the Burning-Ankle jazz Palace, owned and personally conducted by Richard Jenkin- son Essick. The chief bouncer in this place is John D. Corbit. The music is furnished by the Flame-Faced Five, Charles Vincent Regis Wynne, conductor. Herman Rudolph keeps a filling station in the lobby. He sells hot dogs and hamburgers. Across the street is the Raymond Althouse Hoffmaster theatre, where Fred Kaufman and Burton Iones are starring in one of Willard Irwin's plays, entitled Us Angels. Here the music is furnished by Arthur Ericksen, who plays the piano with his feet. It is a player piano. Harold Hanley and Henry Harris are charity workers. They gather up the fruit and cabbage that the audience throws at the actors and deliver it to the poor. ' Alongside of the theatre are the Nifty-Knob Tonsorial Parlors, owned by Samuel Spadafora, who, in spite of his musical aspirations, has become a barber. Henry Frederick, his assistant, specializes in girlish bobs for men. The shoe- shining around the place is done by Gerald Ullman. Meredith Thompson, the owner of the Cash and Carry Meat Market, is be- coming quite prosperous. He now has two clerks-Lester Keiper and Luther ' THE EPITOME 59 Parker-working for him. Ruhl Heifner came into the store the other day and said that he wanted to look at the biggest ham in the shop. Keiper turned toward the otiice. Oh, Mr. Thompson, he yelled, there's a man out here wants to see you. Wilmer Maurer has become mayor of the city. His slogan is, Bigger and Better Corrupt Politics 3 He has a council of three members-Fred. Miller, Donald Reed and ,Iimmie Rhein. They are very well paid. They get ten dollars a roundg a dollar extra for every knockout. Martin Silverman and Israel Noch are the respective heads of the water and iire departments. Noch left the Penn Street bridge burn down the other day because he couldn't get the fire plane started. Later it turned out that two of the firemen-Harry Merkel and John Seifarth-had removed the motor and used it to build a radio. City Hall is still the same old brick eyesore at Fifth and Franklin. The three members of the Bureau of Public Buildings-Robert Weiherer, George Zerbe and Richard Miller -are at present considering a plan to move it into City Park onto the site where the jail now stands. Fred. Fidler says that he doesn't want them to tear the jail down. He hates to be moving all the time. Riley Moyer and Hen Perella have become great sportsmen. Riley has one of these sooner dogs-sooner bite you than not. Russell Stuard and Frederick Schussler are running a drug store. Schussler is the soda slinger and Stuard is the druggist. They have a perfect system. When Schussler is done with the customers they are so sick that they have to seek medical aid from Stuard. When Stuard is done with them, he turns them over to Fred Rodgers. Fred is an undertaker. Ding Schaeffer, who always was fond of he-man jobs, is at present running a boarding house on Sixth Street, which he calls the Victoria, Roger Rohr- bach, who is-marvelous to relate-still a bachelor, recently took up hisquarters in Ding's establishment. After the first night he left, however, reciting this poem, with which he had been inspired during the night: . ' O Victoria, delight of the roaches, The home of the louse and the flea, The shrine of each blood-thirsty bedbugg O Victoria, you're no place for me. Leroy Hafer is chief of police. Not long ago two hoboes, who gave their names as Dick Glauner and Raymond Fritz, were brought up before him, charged with fighting. It appeared that they were arguing about the correct way to spell f1sh. Glauner said that it was spelled phish and Fritz insisted that it was fyche. The argument grew so heated that it almost became a riot. It took the two huskiest cops on the force-George Kieh-l and Allan Klopp-to establish peace. ' Eugene Keifer is head of the trolley company. He's had a lot of trouble lately. One evening the Oley Valley car failed to return from its run. On in- vestigation he found that the motorman, Alfred Edye, and the conductor, Elwood Eshbach, had sold it to John Adams, a Boyertown farmer, for a chicken coop and had absconded with the money. Keifer is determined to bring them to justice, and for the purpose has hired Reading's cleverest detective, Neil Brown. Sidney Abels is still interested in oratory. He is a train announcer at the outer depot. Not so long ago james Lindenmuth, a baggage man on the 5.15, threw an anvil off the train and hit John Dohner, the station master, on the head. The accident cost the company a great deal of money, for the anvil was com- pletely ruined. Edward Kiefer also works for the railroad. -He walks along in front of the 5.15 and shoos the cows off the track. . Stanley Gottschall is running a hash house in West Reading. He does all his own cooking, so you can imagine what kind of place it is. He is truthful in his advertising, however. for over the doorway he has this sign: Eat here and you will never eat any place else. 60 THE EPITOME Joe Heffuef has at last found a job that isn't too strenuous for him-a sea- faring job. He calls the stations on a trans-Atlantic liner. . Ernest Artz is in the doctoring business. He also has a shingle hanging above his office door. It reads: Dr. Ernest Henry Artz, Jr., M. D. Tonsils removed, fallen arches painlessly lifted, and general repair work done while you wait. Come in and try my service. You risk nothing, for all persons killed in this ofhce will have their money refunded. In close competition with Doctor Artz is William George, who is also a suc- cessful physician. He has established a wonderful record for himself in his many years of practice. Out of 2,000 patients whom he has treated, only five have re- covered. He hopes for still greater things in the future. NVal'demar Schaefer has left the old town and has gone to Hollywood. He has a wonderful job in connection with the movies out there. He is a kissing instructor in a school for young actresses. Johnny I-Ieilman is also in the moviesg he is a comedian. He has a hard time getting his plays filmed, however, for he is so funny that all the camera-men and directors that he hires die laughing at him. He is so popular with the actresses, too. They just can't resist his beautiful, wavy hair. jasper Elmer, strange to say, .is a strong man in a circus. He is very tough. W'hen the lions fight, he goes into the cage and bumps their heads together. He takes as many vacations as he wants, and the manager is afraid to say anything for fear 'of getting his head broken. . Robert Hershey is a wanderer on the face of the earth. Years ago he fell madly in love with a certain very lovely little lady. One evening she refused to kiss him good night, and poor Robert's heart split right up the middle. He took the next train for Pogo-Pogo Islands. The last time he was heard from he was hunting dodo birds in the wilds of Manchuria. ' James Rick is now president judge of Berks County. However, his streak of bad luck still follows himg he is married and has thirteen children. Marvin Letcher, the inventor, is working on a new device, which he hopes to sell to Jimmie. It is a maximum silencer for squawking kids. Leroy Snyder has become famous. He is editor-in-chief of the New York Times. When asked how he' rose to such a lofty position, he replied that he had grown so accustomed to being editor-in-chief of things in his school days that he just cou1n't break himself of the habit. Leroy is also married, but, unlike Mr. Rick, he d0esn't have thirteen children-he has nineteen. ' And now, folks, we come to the saddest part of this prophecy. There may have been parts of it that were disappointing, but this is absolutely the worst. It is the section which concerns the pride and joy of '27 Feb.-the president of the class. Here is the heart-rending statement which is inserted about him: Fenton Laucks has' fallen by the wayside. He has married a, tango dancer from the South Seas, and is at present principal of a high school for girls in Hooligan's Flats, Nebraska. As I mentioned before, we got the information for this prophecy from aHindn snake-chariner. After I had read through the material that he gave ns, I noticed that there was nothing in it about me. , S ee here, I said to the Hindu, what about me? Where will I be twenty- five years from now? A W ell, to tell you the truth, he said, your future is a bit doubtful. If the fellows that are mentioned in that prophecy ever catch you twenty-five years from now you will still be in the hospital. THE EPITOME 61 LITERARY The Transition RAYMOND A. IIOFFMASTER As far as concerns most young men, graduation from High School signifies a cessation of the absorption of book knowledge and a shouldering of duties which have been increasing ever since the faculty of reasoning came to them. The in- dustry or business in which each graduate becomes interested neither thrusts great responsibility upon the newcomer, nor awaits him with great expectations. His lot is now that of an apprentice, a learner. The novice's integrity and capability of service is dependent upon the training received in the schools. If he was dili- gent in the performance of the seemingly trivial duties while at school, and sincere in his relations with classmates, he will be more ableto serve mankindg to show his devotion to his God by allegiance with the Church, and to support, as an alunmus, the school which promoted his fellowship and his attainments as a scholar. - lVe value life as we desire it to satisfy our wants. The schools should train us to want the right things and to use our intelligence that these things might be realized and improved. Our zeal to this end should depart from narrowness, and, with good will, should lead us to help satisfy the needs of others as well as of our- selves. Thus an education develops in us good will toward men, inspires us to partake in unselfish pleasures, and aids us to get rid of wants not fitted to our world. To secure these wants we have received instruction pertaining to the world of objects and of human beings, have been taught to manage the forces of nature and of artifice with marked skill, thoroughness and self-control. VVe do not get what we want by merely claiming it, but must have our intellect trained to receive knowledge and power. Many people agree that the eventual happiness of the world is an aim of great import, yet in reality they object to stressing happiness because they believe that by deprecating it mankind will receive more. Their pessimistic practice is false, for by training students according to their conception, such students could be given habits that would tend to hinder their pursuit of happiness in later years. Much unhappiness, -even in these propitious days, is caused by disease, war and poverty. We have learned to despise ignorance, which may be the cause of distress. Happiness is essential to the prosperity of the world, and only by imparting knowl- edge to unknowing mortals can happiness be perpetuated. We pay homage to some Deity whose attributes are mercy and loving kind- ness. It is in the edifice dedicated to the service of our God that we of the same belief commune with Him and receive spiritual inspiration to guide us in all the walks of life. This benefit makes us debtors to the Church, to which we should render our fullest loyalty and support if we would be dutiful to the faith we profess. Because the world pays a money-price for an article does not in. any way lower the quality of th-at article. Irrespective of the amount Bunyan received for Pilgrim's Progress, that work would be the same. Thorndyke, a noted psy- chologist, explains this fact when he says: It is only because people in general are stupid, and because the great benefactors of mankind do not drive hard bar- gains, that the really valuable service is illy paid. It is because society at large does not know what is good for it, and because scientific men do not extort what 62 THE EPITOME they might for their wares, that society pays the inventor and advertiser of a patent medicine a hundred times more than the discoverers of the cause and pre- vention of yellow fever. The more rational human beings become, the more will the money price approximate the real value in cases where the thing can be bought and sold at all. If our training has been merely for wage-earning, the kinds of work which we can do is limited to the kinds for which we will receive only worldly goods. But education has sought to make the idea fitting us to 'get a living one part of fitting us to live. To serve humanity beneficiently, such as a tqacher, physician or clergyman, we must have loftier motives than the acquisition 0 lucre. Education frequently errs when it aims to put one in a position where he is served, but does not serve for others. Should we despise labor, that we should not be fitted for service? VVe ought to master the forces of nature, and not tread down our fellow workers. By co-operation with others we can make use of nature and be useful to men. The ideal life is one of work and recreation, both enjoyed. T he successful man is happy in his work and wants it. Only a mislead- ing education puts anybody above labor. VVhat will be an education for service for one person may be for waste in the case of another. Digging foundations would be an offense to a man who is an expert engineer. So men must co- operate for mutual benefit, each in the way he can do most good. Our knowledge and power, in whatever degree we possess them, should not be given for ostentation or to elevate us to apparent superiority, but for use. To rightly apply these qualities' necessitates specialization rather than perfectionism. As men depend upon each other in life, it is the duty of every man to perform services for the common good in the manner he is most qualified. The creed, race and hereditary qualities by which we are distinguished causes each to face certain conditions different from those confronting others. It is to make us com- petent and happy in those situations that we have been given an education. Milton, in his Tractate, set forth the aim of education as: I call, therefore, a compleat and generous education that which fits a man to perform justly, skill- fully and magnanimously all the offices, both private and public, of Peace and W'ar. Prize Winning Essay: P. O. S. of A. Contest Lincoln the Statesman BY LE Roy E. SNYDER, '27 FEB. If statesmanship is a practical science to be tested by the touch-stone of endur- ing success, then is Lincoln entitled to a place among the world's greatest states- men. I-Te was not of the rulers who seek only to impress their own will on the nation. He was not of the rulers who plays for mere place in the great game of politics. Above the tyrants and scheming politicians stand men who have sought power to hold it as a sacred trust, and whose ambition and conduct are regulated by an ardent purpose to serve great national interest. It seems not too much to say that among these was Lincoln. He was pre-eminently a democratic ruler. Profoundly believing in a govern- ment of the people, by the people and for the people, however earnest his wish, as THE EPITOME 63 a man, to promote and enact justice between classes and races. he never went faster nor further than to enforce the will of the people that elected him. His strength as a President lay in his deep sympathy with the people, the plain folks, as he loved to call them, and his intuitive knowledge of all their thoughts and aims, their prejudices and preferences, equally and alike. Growing as the people grew, sympathizing with them and aiming only. to do their will, Abraham Lincoln may be regarded as a model democratic statesman. What he achieved endured, because it was founded on the rock of the people's will. It has been the destiny of many illustrious reformers to outlive the reforms for which they zealously strove, and history furnishes innumerable illustrations of the truth that reforms not based on public opinion rarely outlast the lifetime of their champions. Lincoln's loyal deference to the will of the majority, his tardiness in adopting radical measures and his reluctance to advance more rapidly then the plain folks -time has shown to be the highest wisdom in the ruler of a democracy. I.incoln's deep-rooted faith in representative democracy wasstrikingly illus- trated in his first public act-the appointment of his Cabinet. Believing in the rightfulness of party rule, that is to say, in the rule of the majority, instead of seeking to call as his councillors men who might serve his personal ends, he se- lected them from the most popular of his rivals-men who had competed with him for the Presidential nomination. It was a Cabinet of all the talents and the popularities 5 and yet among these veteran statesmen, most of them long trained and skillful in the art of statecraft, Lincoln was acknowledged the master spirit. He felt himself capable of confronting all the difficulties of his high place, and this faith in his own strength sufliced to guide xhim thru some of the severest trials that have ever fallen to the lot of a public man. His many-sided nature enabled him to excel in most of the tasks that he attempted, and the triumphant power he showed on most occasions was one of the essential characteristics of his nature. It was this power of compassing the most trying situations that made the brief and crowded space of four years sufhce for him to accomplish a task that genera- tions had been preparing, and which, to use his own words before assuming the Presidency, offered more difficulties than had devolved upon VVashington. Those who follow his life must be impressed with the equal serenity of Lincoln's temper, in moments of darkest adversity as in the hours of greatest triumph. This trait meant much to the great captain as a statesman. , The responsibility of office weighed heavily upon Lincoln, but never over- whelmed him. Lincoln was sometimes weary of the great burden that had fallen upon him, and he would have gladly resigned it to others had this seemed possible without imperiling the national interests he had so close at heart. 4 His masterly common sense was the guiding beacon in every stress and storm of events. As has been said, Although his head was in the sky, his feet always remained on the earth. He was so great in all the larger attributes of statesman- ship that few aside from those intimately associated with him recognized his genius as a practical politician. He was ambitious not merely because he knew his own great resources and aptitudes, but because he profoundly believed himself to be necessary to the country in the dire exigencies of the period. His common sense, his unselfish purpose, his keen perceptions, his unostenta- tious manners, his mental ubiquity has placed him in the ranks of the world's greatest statesmen. 64. THE EPITOME The Student Council Because little has been heard during the last term about the Student Council, do not think it has not been functioning. Under the capable leadership of its officers, LeRoy E. Snyder, president, Samuel Bertolet, vice-president, and Lee L. Blyler, secretary, much has been done to elevate the standard of Reading High and its students. The most important things undertaken by the Student Council this term were the management of the lunch room and the establishment of a, chapter of the National Honor Society. Several members of the Council have watched over the order of the lunch room each period daily, not toshow their authority, but to keep the diners from becoming unruly. This system, which was instituted last term, has proved itself a success and will be continued. Probably the most important step taken was to establish a, chapter of the National Honor Society, which is now in force in the school. The purpose of this society is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to develop character in the pupils of Reading High. Only those members of the class who stand highest in scholarship and other activities are elected to membership in this society.

HEILMAN Secretary-XVELLINGTON GOODMAN Vicc-President-BENNRTT HENDLEY Treasurer-CHARLES EGGERT Once more the curtain falls on another successful term for the Thespians. Although no plays were presented to the students this semester, much has been done in the modeling for bigger things next term. A thorough course in acting and play production was undertaken, and proved to elevate the society. The Thespiansj' a wide-awake dramatic club, has had a long uphill tight to reach its present standing in the school's activities. Several times it looked gloomy for the few Thespians that turned out for the meetings, but suddenly that cloak of gloominess was thrown aside and a new club was on its way to success. Now, under the leadership of Mr. Dech, our faithful faculty advisor, the club has a systemized meeting each week. Every week we learn something new in dramatics and several members demonstrate what they have learned. If one wishes to see a real meeting, conducted in order and also interesting, come to one of The Thespiansu meetings. XV ith the graduation of many of its members from school, The Thespiansn lose several leaders in the club. The club now has a fair standing. Keep it there and boost it with all the spirit that you have. New members come in as old mem- bers go out. each giving his bit. That is the spirit that will bring this club, to its purpose. Do not fear that you haven't ability. Come to the club and you will probably surprise yourself. - The school, as a whole, has not heard from The Thespians' this term, but we have something in store for the school. just come out to the meetings and be proud to say, I belong to 'The Thespians' 66 THE EPITOME Philomathean Literary Society Prcsideizit-jnisms IQICK, 31113 ' V'iC?-PT6Sid61'Lf-FENTON LAUCKS YWVECISNVE7'-lNIARSHALL HUEY, JR. Secretary-VVALDEMAR Scrrlzarizk Property lifdnv-NEXVIN HOLLINGER The Philomathean Literary Society, under the capable ,leadership of James Rick, 3rd, and the excellent supervision of Mr. Smythe, has completed a very suc- cessful season. The programs given at the meeting never grew monotonous, be- cause there was always a great variety. The .programs have included: Debates, open forums, extemporaneous speeches, talks, commercial and technical subjects, humorous recitations, and prepared orations. There h.as been an increase in membership this year. This, of course, is due to the splendid programs and untiring eiforts of the oflicers. The officers have worked diligently to improve the quality of the programs and increase the mem- bership. Their efforts have had a marked influence on the members. Wlien as- signed a topic, they prepared it carefully, and, as a consequence, delivered it well. No ship ever reaches its destination without a pilot. Mr. Smythe has caused the Philomathean ship to reach port. He has spent much of his time in attending meetings and giving suggestions for the betterment of the club. The members of the club owe him their heartfelt thanks. The superior quality of the Philos has enabled them to overpower their rivals, the Zelos, in the Alumni Oratorical Contest. The club will sufer a great set-back from graduation. Many of the faithful members belong to the Class of 1927 February. They have' done their part, and now we bid them goodby. VX-'e hope you have profited by and enjoyed the happy moments spent in Philo meetings. THE EPITOME 67 Zelosophic Literary Society A P7'C.S l'd67Lf-SYDNEY S. ABELS I!iC9-P1'8S'id81'lf-HARRY XVEIL Treasurer-FRED. M. MILLER 5'ecrez'ary-BEN CLODER Reporter-ToM REEDY The Zelos have just completed an unusually successful year from the stand- point of both attendance and program presentation. The school term was started with an enrollment of 'four fellows, remaining from the previous year. At the present time our books carry a membership of sixty. Our attendance at each meeting averages forty-five. There must be a reason for such a remarkable im- provement. There is. The Program Committee has presented many unique programs, profuse with humor as well as gravity. Several of the programs have been the talk of the school, including our famous Liars' Contest and our Baby Day. The Zelo Bulletin Board, conducted by the Program Committee, has always been a source both of amusement and- interest. The sincere co-operation of every Zelo has made a rapid stride in reputation possible. The billing of a member on the program indicated that the member would be present, and would not, as of old, seek the shelter of his proctor room on the hectic day. The Zelos have given attention to all fields of literary work, excluding pos- sibly the drama. We, however, anticipate a play to be presented early next term. Debating, declamations, extemporaneous speeches, dialogue and story-telling have been presented before the club members. It was truly an amazingly successful session, contrasted with the showing of the previous years. Much credit it due to Mr. Fink, head of the English Department, who is our faculty advisor. His interesting talks were always thoroughly enjoyed by the club. The Zelos are but waiting the on coming term to even surpass their envious record. 68 THE EPITOME Hi-Y' Club P7'6'Sidl771f--XVARREN Hess Vicc-President--PAUL Hass Secretary-HowARD I'IARTX-IAN T7'CG.YIH'C'1'-XIYERNE Swormz Clmplain-join: SCIIMUCKER During the past term the Hi-Y Club has enjoyed an unequalled success. This success has not only been confined to one branch of work, but to many. The Club has put the Hi-Y slogan, Clean Speech, Clean Living, Clean Athletics, Clean Scholarship, on a high plane by givng each one of them a part in every program. The programs which met with the greatest approval consisted of Open Forum discussions on various perplexing problems, led by the individual members of the Club. Not only did the members gain a great deal of knowledge through these programs, but they also became more accustomed to speaking in public. The social and recreational parts of the program were in no way overlooked. The annual I-lallowe'en party, which was held at Earlville, was a very great suc- cess, and so were the entertaining features which were offered at the close of each regular meeting. A basket ball team :ind a volley ball team have been successfully organized, and plans are under way for the organization of other teams. To the members of the Class of 1927 the Hi-Y Club extends its best wishes for their future success in whatever lines of endeavor they may pursue. Our comrades from ,27 Feb. have done much to make the Club a success, and it is with deepest regret that we see them leave our ranks. However, we also extend to them an earnest invitation to continue their interest in Hi-Y work and our Club and to attend the meetings whenever possible. I THE EPITOME 69 p Camera Club P1'8.Vld01lf-ALLEN KLOPP St?CI'EfCU'j'-vVILI.IA1KI BALL Vice-President'-jonN HEFFLEGER T7'60Slt7'E7'-EUGENE Kisrnk NVell, fellows, here we are again with another successful season tucked under our belts. Our membership is not what would be classed as fabulously large, but it is growing each year, as the under-classmen realize the advantages which this organization affords. Thanks to our faithful and energetic officers, the club has been steadily ad- vancing in quantity and quality, but the quantity is not the headliner in the advanc- ing list. Draw your own conclusions. You know the old saying, Quality, not quantity. Say, fellows, while we are on the subject: Do you realize that you can follow our programs by reading the announcements and observing the pictures posted in our bulletin board? VVhat? Yes, we have one. NVe shouldn't be surprised if many of the students were like you and never knew it to exist. It wouldn't be a bad idea if you and the rest of the fellows would slow up in your rush to classes. A glance at the board now and then wonit interfere with your studies in the least. In fact, it may improve them, as it may persuade you that the Camera Club is worthy of your membership. It is a mighty good club, which we think you would like immensely. W'e have very interesting meetings, due to the arguments, debates and stunts which the members exhibit there. These meetings are both entertaining and educational, and improving continually as the interest of the members increases. You could help! XVhy don't you? Wie expect even a better season next year, although, we are sorry to say, we are losing some of our members by graduation. Wfell, that cannot be helped, and we wish these members every success in the future. ORCHESTRA THE EPITOME 71 The Orchestras ' After a somewhat disconcerting start, the orchestra gained its stride and com- pleted a successful term. From the early part Of the semester until the end Of the foot ball season, practically all attention was devoted to the band. Thus, previous to Thanksgiving the orchestra made little progress, although Once started it ad- vanced rapidly. The climax of this short but eminently successful season was Commencement, when the Orchestra presented a caliber of music very different from what it had ever before attempted. For its weeks of hard work spent in pre- paring these selections it earned well-merited applause. The brass and wood sections were enriched by several instruments hitherto lacking, which lent added tone quality tO the playing. The Class of ,29 June is to be congratulated on the line spirit of many of its members, who did not hesitate to try out for the orchestra at the beginning of the term. As usual, no little credit for the success of the organization is due to Mr. Middleton, the capable director. PERSONNEL Director- S.

Early in September it was organized, under the capable leadership of S. Powell Middleton. The nucleus gathered then grew to 34 members, representing all the departments of a well- balanced musical organization. Another notable feature in the history of the band was the purchase of uniforms during this term. All the foot ball games at home and away saw the boys resplendent in their red and black outfits, which were loaned by the school to the players as long as they served. Undoubtedly the band contributed materially to the success of our grid team, as well as frequently entertaining the students with selec- tions. In the one term of its existence this organization has become a recognized insti- tution of the school and bids fair to repeat in other years its remarkable success in this. S. POYVELT.

It was one of the most enjoyable and successful Proms held in the history of Reading High School. Amid festoons of blue -and white, together with seasonal greens draped across the ball room and mezzanine floor, the dancers kept step to the snappy music furnished by the Colonial Serenaders. They again controlled those present with the same magnetic power that dominated at the '27 Feb. Frolic. The orchestra was hidden from clearvlsion by the stream- ers of blue and white that surrounded them. Upon the wall of the ball room was hung the '27 Feb. banner, which re- flected beautifully during the waltzes. All the girls greatly appreciated the novel corsages. Many of the alumni attended this well-arranged dance. It was plainly seen by the expressions upon their faces that they were well pleased with the affair. Those present were as follows: Helen R.

In class base ball '27 June was only defeated for first pl-ace after a hard battle, and in all other forms of class athletics our boys always stood near the top. However, we have not only achieved great success in athletics, but our record in other school activities also stands out very prominently. Every Honor Roll list finds at least 251k of our class among the Honor Boys. Members of our class are represented on every team and in every club in the school, and many of them hold high positions in there organizations. We can truly say we are proud of our class and of its achievements. Only one term is left for us at Old Reading High, but we intend to make it the best of all and prove that the last class. that will graduate from the Boys' High School will also be the class. ' To the members of the Class of 1927 February we bid an affectionate farewell. We are sorry to see you leave our midst, but know that you have left behind you an envious record, a record which it will be hard for any class to surpass. We wish all ot' you the best of success in whatever you may do, and we know that Reading High will have just cause to feel proud of 1161' sons of '27 Feb.

President-ARMAND HENNE ViC6-PT6Sid67lf-HAROLD PEIFER Treasurer-CHARLES LEIP1-E Secretary-REGINALD EIDAM During the past year the Class of 1928 February has accomplished much in the way of scholastic and athletic work. At a class meeting, held in the past two months, a committee to take charge of the rings and pins was elected. This com- mittee has received orders from many of the boys. At a later meeting of the class a Red and Black staff was appointed from THE those boys ranking high in their class. Class numerals were designed and or- dered by a. committee consisting of Hor- ace Hoffman and Harold Miller. They were awarded to boys who had partici- pated in class athletics during their stay in the class. Through the kindness of Mr. Kagen, we were able to obtain jerseys for our basket ball team of the class, an act for which we extend to him hearty thanks. During the past the class has done well in track, base ball, foot ball and basket ball. The Class of 1928 February is one to which every member of it should be proud to belong and strive to do the better things which uphold and boost a class. For our success we owe much to Mr. Scott, who is our class advisor, and who has conducted the class very well. The names of the members of the class are as follows: Edward Anewalt, Lester Aulenbach, Preston Axe, Raymond Becker, Arlington Blimline, Lester Bolig, Lewis Boyer, Charles Brightbill, George .

KLEINSPI-:HN '28 June has been prominent in both class and varsity athletics. It won its sec- tion of the class track meet and had sev- eral men on the varsity team. It had a good foot ball team until class foot ball was discontinued. It has three varsity foot ball players, among them Captain Butch Stark, and several more reserves. It had a good representation on the var- sity base ball and basket ball teams. Its class base ball team finished second with four victories and one defeat, while its class basket ball team was fourth. It had men on both the swimming and cross- country teams. '28 June has always been well repre- sented on the Honor Roll. An average of 30 every six weeks has been its contribu- tion to the scholastic work of the school. Eighteen in this class received silver but- tons. On the whole, the scholarship is very high and everyone is working to make it still higher. Many members-of '28 June are active in club work. Quite a few hold ofiice, and all are considered hard workers by their fellow club members. As a result of all these activities, '28 June has claim to being one of the most active and progres- sive classes in school. Members: C. Abramson, B. Abramson, C. Adams, D. Adams, H. Asher, W.

KLUGSTRON The Stamp and Coin Club has been a very interesting feature in our school this year. It consists of about 25 members, THE EP1'1'oME I 77 all who save stamps or coins. The Club has held many interesting contests about stamps. Each fellow participated in this, and to the lucky one of each event was awarded a suitable prize. We hope to continue to have these the rest of this year. Our aim is to bring all new ideas before the Club members concerning stamps and coins. All new stamps or coins are discussed and displayed at each meeting if possible. Each fellow is got- ten more interested in stamps this way. Through the Stamp and Coin Club our collections grow. One idea to make our collections grow without spending money is to have a trading meeting, at. which each fellow brings his traders along and trades with a fellow club member, therefore getting new stamps with no costs. We wish more fellows would come around to meetings and get interested in our doings. .

LEASE HISN NE NIAIER GOODMAN BILLINGER STAILEY ESTERLY Akrz BERTOLET FRIIEDMAN LEIBY NVEILER Under the direction of their new coach, John Dietrich, the Red and Black eleven brought to Reading High the most successful foot ball season in years. The 1926 team was a team of which to be proud in many respects. Under the new system of coaching, every player learned to be a clean-cut athlete, and each player was taught the value of fighting to the last minute. Again, their team spirit enabled them to conquer many strong opponents. Perhaps the finest battle was staged at Lebanon. Cutplaying their opponents through the game, Reading was able to score only in the last minute of play. The only serious injury oc- curred to Sammy Goodman, Reading High's all-around athlete. Early in the season he was injured and confined to bed ever since. Nlfith Stark back as captain of the 1927 team and a wealth of material left over, next year should usher in another successful season.

For the iii-st time in many years, R. H. S. was forced to start a season with practically an inexperienced team, due mainly to the illnes of Captain Goodman. Also, unlike other years, this seasonis team is composed of ,smaller and lighter players. But this defect is easily offset by their speed and aggressiveness on the floor. Coombs being the only real 'veteran left, our new coach, John Dietrich, was presented with a difficult problem in that he had to sift a very large squad in order to find tive players to represent R. H. S. But, true to former records, the Red and Black quintet got away to a good start and are sure to keep up the fine work. They opened the season with a decisive victory over St. Gabrie1's High School, of Hazleton. T he above list of players had to be selected from a squad of 55 candidates. This fact assures keen competition throughout the season for the varsity squad. S2 THE' EPITOME Class. Statistics, of '27 February FAVORITE STUDIES Yes FAVORITE TEACHER Mrs. Wagner TALLEST J.

Ill The employees perform their work with greater ease, ac- curacy and efficiency. ill It reduces doctor bills because oflimproved health. Ill It helps build up those with low vitality from any cause. The added nourishment enables them to continue to do their work more efficiently. ill lt helps to build morale in the men, because they perform their work with less fatigue of body and mind, and after the days labor is over they are better able to enjoy their home life an recreation.
