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. JAMES RICK, 3RD-Latin Scientific Jim, Jimmy, Paavo Gold Scholarship, Class President, 1, 3, Class Historian, Track, 2, 3, 4-g Captain, 3, 4, Cross-Country Captain, 2, 3, 4-g Philos, 3, 4-g President, 43 Vice-President Athletic Association, 35 President, 4-g Business Manager Red and Black, Student Manager Debating Team, 34 .Student Council, lg Chairman Commencement Program Comm-itteeg Class Day Committee. 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!

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.

RODGERS-Technical Fred, Freddie Sure is the word that describes Freddie's answer to all questions he k'nowsf?l From all appearances, Fred will never grow up in his actions, for he is still filled with the mischievous and kid's pranks for which freshmen are noted. But there are signs of his growing, for he will soon he assistant scoutmaster for the illustrious Troop 13, B. S. A. A secondary thought, as far as Freddie is concerned, is women, whom, it is said, he entertains frequently. His method for entertainment is quite novel, for we understand he makes all kinds of pretty faces for them. The third thought in Fred's mind is school. I-lc regrets terribly that he must leave Reading' High and is looking for a school that will suit him as well. lVe wish Freddie utmost success, wherever he goes and in whatever he may undertake.

No, no, my dear readers, this is not an advertisement for Mellin's food, but it is only Dizzy, one of the brilliant men of the class. Dick'i has many accomplishments to boast of. Some of these are dancing, indoor sports, champion tennis player of Reifton Chas no competitionjg also very fond of Latin.- Almost every day he could be found, after school, in Mr. Bingaman's room, studying' Latin. 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. Dick expects to study law. The class wishes you a successful career.
