Martin Silverman LeRoy Elwood Snyder MARTIN SILVERMAN-Latin Scientific Marty, Silver ' Zelos, 2, 3. Ladies and gentlemen, now please don't get excited, for you are looking upon the handsome countenance of Marty Silverman. Silver is just what his name represents, for he is the outstanding star of the Ultinky-Dink base ball club. He claims that he made a wonderful record, which thus far has never been equalled. In 18 times up at bat, 17 times he was struck out, and the 18th time he was kicked out. Some record. No doubt Connie Mack will be looking for him. Marty, by the way, never looks at a girl, but surely everybody knows that the girls watch him. Here's good luck and best wishes for the future! LEROY E.

No, folks, this is not the picture of a model for Kuppenheimer haberdasheryg it is merely Snitz Snyder, while posing for nick-nacks. Doesn't he look as though he were thinking about animal crackers? This young gentleman is one of the ten surviving French VI. sharks. He is perfectly harmless. Snyder is one of the most brilliant members of our illustrious class. Lee piloted the Red and Black to its great succ'ess this year, and too much credit cannot be extended to him for it. Snyder is often seen in company with Ernie Artz, but all great men make mistakes. He expects to continue his education at Harvard, and we are sure he will bring honor and creditable praise to Old Reading High. Au revoir!

THE EPITOME 39 3 1 . F , :ggi fa X f x lg , i ' 'li' FEB , ei n E Frederick H. schussler John K. Seifarth FREDERICK SCHUSSLER--Technical Schussie, Fritz, Sad, Fred Sunny Schussler, formerly a care-free la.d with rosy cheeks, has changed into Sad Schussler, the young man with many sorrows expressed on his once beaming face and with a soul which sunshine may never again illmninate. His golden locks have alone re- mained nnaffected. An inquiry to determine the cause of this transforniation would re- veal that Fred has been most cruelly scorned at Gundry's dancing class. But his fierce fighting spirit admits no defeatg he continues to study dancing. Schussie has confided to friends that soon his dashing and noble iigure will stride across the dance floor in triumph, creating admiration in the hearts of every damsel present. However, Fred does not deign to honor them with his glance and only mingles with the faithful ones. Schussie will surely return to his old self, for he intends learning carpentry. VVhile they are engaged in outdoor work, he will become sun-kissedg his clouded brow will pass away. Behold, Frederick Schussler, master carpenter, social celebrity, famed the world over for his smiling face. JOHN H. SEIFARTH-Technical usilasfv uJack,n uBug,u nsiu John Seifarth, alias Fish, otherwise known as Si, Jack and Bug. Johnnie is one of the most handome convicts of the '27 Feb. class. Si is some sheik with the ladies. It is known to be a fact that he talks in his sleep about a certain Erma. He is an ardent fisherman and can be seen quite frequently along the Tullie with his rod and line. John expects to get married when he gets out of school. 'We are sure that, whatever he does, he has the good wishes and good will of the '27 Feb. class. So long, John.

THE EPITOME 41 l K 1 - l 3 1, . l , 351 f X l ' l f x M H r ' ll! WN! , 7 ii H E w . ' ' 'I Giomfw I Samuel Lewis Spadafora, Jr. John Henry Stein SAMUEL SPADAFORA-Latin Scientific nspaypn assammy,vv ucaesann nsingen Gold Bar Scholarshipg Zelos, 4-g Class Orchestrag Class Day Committee. As you can readily see from his nickname Caesar, Sammy is one of our most illus- trious Latin students. He is always ready with an answer when called upon by Mr. Bingaman. Spaddy has proved his worth as an all-round scholar by earning a gold bar button. For the last few terms he has been an ardent member of the Zelos. One fine morning, last September or October, Singe brought to school with him a fine black eye. Wliere he got it and why, we don't know, but we feel sure that he did not walk into a door post. Best of luck, Sam, in whatever -you do in leaving Old Reading High. x JOHN F. STE IN-Technical Steiny, Horse, Charley ' Varsity Foot Ball, 44 Scrub Base Ball, 4. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a horse, as one of his nicknames implies. He is, however, a closed second, and proves himself a truck horse while on the dance floor. Steiny, nevertheless, made use of his rough manners on the gridiron, and brought credit to R. H. S. while playing: on the team. Studious! Just look at the lines across his fore- head. Charley has both good looks and a fine personality, which has won him many friends, especially with the opposite sex. In school Johnny could often be seen talking to some foot ball player, usually Ding Schaeffer, in order to gain a broader knowledge of the game. The class wishes you good luck.
