Corblt, Jr. NEIL BROW,N-Latin Scientific llsleepyil Scrub Foot Ball, 2. Ncil lives up to his nickname, Sleepy, but Mr. Biugaman calls ou him before he sits down so a response is gotten. 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. CORBIT-Latin Scientific Philos, 4-g Thespians, 2, 3, 4g Orchestra, 413 Baud, 4-g Camera Club, 1, 25 Swimming Team, 45 Stamp and Coin, lg Student Council, 2, 3. 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!

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!

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! ALFRED WILLIAM EDYE-General Scientific uAl,1v uEdye,n :AE-.ddyu Philos, 1, 2. lVhen this chip of humanity went to have his image recorded on paper, it is univers- ally known that the camera could not stand the operationg the photographer, therefore, put it on a tripod. 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.
