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.

' ' '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.

Weiherer GERALD WOOD ULLMAN--Latin Scientific - Jerry, Block, Ritsyn Class Base Ball, 1g Class Basket Ball, 2, 35 Zelos, 1, 2, 3, 414 Ring and Pin Committee, Promenade Committee. Jerry is the dark-haired, dark-complexioned sheik of the '27 Feb. class. He is being wanted for Rudolph Vulentino's place. Block is quite zz Latin shark, having taken it for at least live years. Ritsy is quite a flash with the women. His latest crush is a girl by the name of Mary, or is it Ruth. Ask him for further particulars con- cerning his babies. Jerry expects to matriculate at Yale to take a pre-medical course. Lots of luck, Jcrry! p - ROBERT WEIHERER-Commercial Bob, Barb Wire, ' Rob Silver Scholar-shipg Class Custodian: Class Basket Ball, 43 Camera Club, 1, 2, 3. Let us introduce to you Bob XVeiherer, the chief of the commercial classes. This can all be explained by the ninety-nines on Rob's report cards. Bob may be seen parading up and down that 100-foot Fidelity Street, looking for a certain red-haired girl by the name of Gladys. Bob sits up into the wee hours of the morning, and we are sure he is not listening in on his radio, so the class thinks she may be a reason for all this. Bob's chief ambition is to drive a Ford while blindfolded. Let us give you advice, Bob -start in now, for it is a tough job. Bob expects to go to XVharton School to continue his education. The class wishes him good luck and bids him farewell.
