' ' '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.

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!

Meredith Harry Thompson RUSSELL STUARD-General Scientific Rus, Stew, Cobbler, Rui Cross-Country, 4. Rus has been one of the most quiet members of the class during our sojourn in these venerable halls. Even though he has not said much, he was always present at our meetings and voiced his approvals or disapprovals of our doings. This fall Stew made his Hrst attempt to make at school team, and proved himself quite worthy of wearing the Red and Black. He has done line work for the cross-country team in spite of an injury to his leg. XVe hope that when he goes from here he will keep up the good work that he started in Old Reading High. Always best of luck, Stew! MEREDITH THOMPSON-General Scientific Tom, Merry, Peanut Class Base Ball, 2, 4-g 'Class Basket Ball, 2, 3, 45 Class Track, 44 Philos, 2, 3, 4, Student Manager of Cross-Country, 4g Varsity Track, 45 Cross- Country, 3, Class Foot Ball, 43 Orchestra, 2, 3, 4. Allow us to present one of the four horsemen. Tom is often seen in the company of such well-behavedf?j fellows as Pete Moyer,, Rural Heffner and Dick Rohrbach. Besides this, he has no other had habits, except his fancy for pink and yellow neckwear. Peanut is quite an athlete, particularly in track. He has also scintillated in other phases of school activities, being one of Mr. Middleton's corps of music masters. NVe know little of his capricious activities with the fair sex, but we do think that he and the rest of the basket ball team should keep their Fords away from XVest Reading High School, especially during mathematic tests. Merry intends to study dentistry, and we wish him the best of luck in his profession.
