Eshbach Richard Jenkinson Esslck ELWOOD ESHBACH-General Scientific Ellie, Eshie Lo and behold! The beam-ing face of this noble gentleman. Ellie is the most quiet and most liurmless fellow in our class. It is his theory that girls like n quiet and modest boy like himself. Speaking of girls, it has been rumored that a certain female fwe will not tell her namej thinks he is a gift from heaven. 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. Lay them straight, Ellie, old boy. Good luck! ' RICHARD J. ESSICK-Latin Scientific Dick, Sheik ' Gold Bar Scholarshipg Student Council Vice-President, 44. Only a few, says Dick, can be Latin sharks, but there is no reason why a person cz1.n't be at least a. fish. He upheld the latter part of his theory to a T. 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. So long, comrade, the class is with you!

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. All the success possible is wished upon yon, Jasper. ARTHUR ERICKSEN-General Scientific .uArt,!1 uErick'n zlottsfr ltLeif!!

There is an understood saying about the school, XVhere there is a picture machine, Ericksen will be found. 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. XVe wish him all the success in the world in his later life.

Wretched to behold, quotes Fritz, trying to paraphrase one of Virgil's deep soliloquies. Fred is also good at scanning Knot only Latinj. One may usually gaze at this little piece of valued humanity in company with Jazz Elmer and Chocolate Hershey, who compose the T. T. 'l'. fThc Third Triumviratej To be serious, Fritzie is a good fellow, with many friends. He has promises of becoming a man some day, since he is still growing. Having worked hard Cin the drug storey, he deserves all the credit he may receive. A bronze scholarship button was awarded to him, which he justly de- serves. He expects to matriculate at Temple University, where he will study pharmacy. S'long, Fritz, the class is behind you! HENRY FREDERICK-Technical Hen, Mahatma, Zerk Class Foot Ball, 3. Stop, look, and laugh! That's 1-ight, you guessed it, it's Hen, the prize camera cracker of our class. After breaking several cameras, in trying to photograph this speci- men, the photographer procured this map. Mahatma is gifted with the ability of mak- mg most of his physics recitations original-so original, in fact, that Mr. Fenstermacher seldom recognizes them. Zerk is a most ardent admirer of the fair sex, his favorites being children. That's ull right, Hen. lVe all have our Weak points. After graduating Cget that after D, Hen expects to go in for electrical engineering, and we all wish him luck in the future. 4
