PERELLA-Commercial ill-len!! Bronze Scholarshipg Class Base Ball, -lg Class Basket Ball, 'lg Hi-Y, Alf. Ladies and gentlemen: It gives us great pleasure to present to you the el'ass sheik. Hen is known to the class as Rudolph Valentino's only rival. Vtlhen Hen is not found at home, you will find him playing his like beneath the window of a certain Elizabetlfs room. Henry just received a commission from the pottery company, as Elizabeth finds the only way she can quiet him is by throwing a flower-pot. The class knows that this certain damsel lives in what is known as VVest Reading. Henry likes shorthand, and per- haps he will be a teacher in it sometime. This Romeo is going to college, but at the pres- ent is undecided where he will go. VVhatever Hen attempts, the class knows he will make good, and the class bids him farewell. ' DONALD REED-Technical flnonff , Who is that intelligent looking young man coming down the steps of the library? That is none other than Don Reed, walking away with some more knowledge about architectural drawings. This is his favorite occupation when he is not slinging cheese in Kissinger's market during the week-end, or taking a walk out to Elm, Street to see Mim. Don may look sleepy, but oh, my! He is one of Baer Parl-:'s best tennis players and visits the court frequently, partly because so many pretty lassies strengthen their arm muscles by letting him- teach them the art of the game. Well, Don, we are sure that you will be a big success as an architect, or in any other thing which you may undertake.

Ladies and gentlemen, crooks and horsemen, kindly hear me. Here we have the hand- somestC?D boy in the class. Ted is a good dancer and may be seen hopping around at Bach's on Saturday evening. Noche is just chucked full of knowledge, because he never lets any out. Izzy is the best horseman- in the class, he has been riding through his Latin for four yearsC?J. Noche is as hard-boiled as they come. He lives on hardtack, dog biscuits and applejack. It is often said that Izzy can Charleston to the music of any orchestra. But even with all his faults, we know Ted will make good at Syracuse and will uphold the standards of Old Reading High. ' LUTHER PARKER-Technical Luke Camera, 1. Behold! Our class inventor. Following in the footsteps of Edison and Steinmetz, our classmate would stay up until the early hours of morning trying to perfect some chewing gum contraption. For this reason he takes a liking to physics, chemistry and electrical work, and was an active member of the Camera Club. Luke is easy and cau- tious in motion and words, and whenever in an argument with his co-workers, namely. Letcher and Zerbe, he never raises his voice to a highC?j pitch. 1Vhether he continues in the inventive line or not, such determination as his deserves a place on the top of the ladder, and '27 Feb. bids him farewell with the assurance that he will make the top round.

Permit me to introduce to you, gentle reader, the only real he-man of the class. Jim can be seen in Viest Reading at all times of the night. Gilda changes girl friends so often we c'annot keep track of them all. Epp never rushes more than two at a time, and these appear to he E. L. and H. It. for the present. Jimmie, however, is a good fellow and hard worker. XVith the exception of leading some man's daughter to the altar, this he- man has not decided what to do after graduation. However, we know that, no matter what he undertakes, he will be a success andra credit to lt. H. S.

At last! The green-eyed, galloping Romeo, Quick Silver Jim, faster than a lubricated bolt of hall-bearing lightning on the track or with trots. This illustrious young person is both an athlete and a scholar, and S0l'1l6 even go as far as to call him in- telligent. Anyhow, if he isn't, the fact's not noticeable, for he has won a gold scholar- ship and been President, Captain or Manager of almost everything he has had anything to do with at school. Both the class and the school are mighty proud of him. He is going to be a lawyer, and intends to prepare himself for the profession at Dartmouth and Harvard. Success to you, Jimmy!
