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.

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.

THE EPITOME 415 Earralaurratv Svermun BY REV. ROBERT H. ISCHINGER, Pastor St. John's Lutheran Church. Sunhag, Zlannarg 15111, 1927, at 11 A. BH. John 6:68- Lord, to whom shall we go ? My Dear Young Friends: Among the Mohammedans there is a-belief that once in life to each individual comes a day on which every desire of the heart may be fulfilled. The only re- quisite is that one be wide-awake and ready to take advantage of this day of miracles, for it will never return again. There is but one Day of Days, as it is called, in every life. Today the world lies open before you. Having finished such an important lap in the journey of life as indicated by your approaching graduation, your Day of Days is here and brings with it the promise of fulfillment of every desire cher- ished in your hearts. Q Natural abilities and personal preferences coupled with the circumstances of life and environment in which you find yourself will largely determine the profes- sion you will choose for your life-calling. However, to make a success in this it will behoove every one of you seriously to consider what course to pursue in this life and to lay your plans accordingly. VVhen a vessel leaves the shelter of the harbor on a journey across the ocean, the first thing its captain will do is to lay the course the ship must take to reach its destination. Having left the shelter of the school in which you have prepared yourselves for the journey through life, it is most necessary that you determine now the course which is to bring you to your destination. e livery well equipped mariner possesses a compass, which will keep him and his ship true to the course he has decided on. The wanderer through life has a similar compass. Its needle, however, is not made of steel, nor is it guided by the force of magnetism. The needle of the compass of life is the will of man and its guiding principle is his heart's desire. Unlike the needle of the magnetic com- pass, it will not point constantly to the North, but its direction will vary as the desire of the heart may direct the will of man. It is well for any traveler to know the character of the country towards which he is journeying. Knowing the dangers and difficulties of the road, he will have an opportunity to prepare himself so that he may reach his destination safely. For this reason our young men and women will be well advised if they will cast their eyes over the geography of life before attempting to continue their journey. As you stand today on the pinnacle of 1ife's first success the world lies open before you. There is no one to hinder you from going to the East or the XVest, the North or the South. It is for you to decide which direction you are to take. Probably the most traveled and easiest route to pursue through life is that to the South, to life's tropics, to the Land of Pleasure. The road leading in this
