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.

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.

4141 ' THE EPITOME 1 fi -e - ee . v Q 1 . ' :QL fa X - f x li 'N we ' 7 IBB .1 E .1 E Charles vincent Regis Wynne George Benjamin Zerbe CHARLES VINCENT REIS WYNNE-General Scientific Charlie, Windie Class Reporter, 25 Dance Committeeg Student Manager Base Ball, 2, 3, Thespians, 2, 35 Zelos, lg Philos, 2, 3, 445 'Cheer Leader, 3, 4-5 Stamp and Coin, lg Camera, 1, 25 Thespian, 2, 3. Charlie is always either smiling, laughing or giving somebody the haw-haw. The above long string of activities show that Windie has lots of pep and a sense of leader- ship besides a mouthful of wind composed mostly of hot air, with which he often raised his teachers' tempers to a high degree. Charlie is not only an outdoor sport, but also a great patron of indoor games and amusements. If you are desirous of more details in this line, ask Mary about it. But Charles, like every member of his class, has some good in him, too. Throughout the course he has backed his class and school whenever opportunity presented itself to him. Vile know that a fellow like lllynne can't lose. Good luck, Windie P' GEORGE ZERBE-Technical Zerbe Last, but not least! A more appropriate saying could not be given to this unruly looking personage. But whenever he quarrels with anyone his spectacles remain on his small nose for his protection. Zerbe is the one manfilj who outclasses Lou Parker and his inventions. These two can often be seen together in deep thought over some knotty problem about an invention in construction. If typewriting was a necessity in Zerbe's life, it would pay our end-in-an to jump into a river. Had a shield been put up over the key-board, Zerbc would still be struggling with his first lesson. History being his pet subject, we feel sure he will aim to be a historian. But, in whatever field he goes. '27 Feb. feels confident. that he will be a world of success.
