Bankes Arlington Albert Britton, Jr. RUSSELL BANKES-Technical llRuss,N lCBunk77 Class Foot Ball, 2.. 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!

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.

With Z1 rattle-rattle here and at rattle-rattle there, old Ernie has an oil can CBriscoeJ E-i, E-i, O. ' The first time you saw him, was he hanging on to the wheel of his oil can or was he doing tail-spins on the hnndlesbars of his motorcycle? 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.

VVhen he entered High School, he was a bashful, afraidlto- say-something lad, then he suddenly made up his last night's sleep in school. Neil's ambition is to become a forester in the wide-open spaces, and the class wishes him luck. JOHN D.

This is not a. photo of Cupidg in spite of its almost perfect beauty, it is a human being. XVe hear you gasp with delight as you gaze at that countenanceg we see the bosoms of a thousand maidens heave as they behold that flashing eye, that noble mouth, that varnished scalp. 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. Success and happiness!
