19.,..-..-..-..-u-.----- - - V XKWJA game Jdlbnk 0 Blimp Spats,' Fats,' Q LT. JAMES BARCLAY TONNER R Q 0 ifle Team 33- 34. We take great pleasure in presenting Blimp,'. Even though we have only known him for a short time, he has worked his way right into the midst of us, and he already seems like an old-timer, In fact, he is an olcl-timer when it comes to knowing prep schools, for Spats has gone to more prep schools than most of us have ever seen, finally ending up at Deah old G-burg . This two hundred and fifty pounds of human flesh and bones can never be seen without his pals, the spats, which seem to him to make up the most important part of any man's wardrobe. Ton,' is always ready to oblige us by telling us any one of his numerous experiences, which he has encountered in his extensive travels. All in all Fats is a very fine fellow, liked by everyone in the school, he is Gettysbutgys own t'Voice of Experience . WYILLIAM UTZ ' Bingo', Twelve-year Football ,33-'34g Basketball '33-,34. Here we have something from our local Gettysburg. Just to show us she is not to be outdone or that she is more than willing to do her part by G.A. she sends us this. Irv is none other than the famous Bill Utz. Another instance in which the local boy makes good. Perhaps you are wondering why he bears the name Bingo,', but if you ever happen to visit this gay little town and indulge in its night life, you will probably see our friend Bingo in the Engine Housey' collecting his winnings. Bill', is also one of our most valuable athletes, having acquired letters in football and basketball. To see Moore gallop- ing after Bill', or vice versa is one of the common sights of the school. However, when our pal Bingo graduates, I am sure every last one of us will be sorry at the parting. ROMEO BARRICK WAGNER Bunky RomeoU Student Senate '33-'34, Dance Committee '33-'34, Basketball Manager '33-'34, Osoga '33-,34g Second Honor ,go-'31, First Honor '32-,335 Salutatorian '33-'34, Tennis '32-,33. To look at him you would never guess it, but Mr. Wagner is the grand-clad of the school, having done a five year stretch. Although our palsy-walsy Romeo', fthe name speaks for itself, folksl, has not been extremely active in the line of sports, he has en active in numerous other things. All the fellows will Grant that any day Along h basketball season came a managership for Bunky A mighty fine little mana er he as too always with the interests of his team at heart. In studies Bunk was th prid o and consolation of the entire faculty. Always right up there and never in stu . I l Qi U - - . . . . . pp 7, 1 7 . 7 f .

With him he brought a well built body and a well balanced mind. He is quite the athlete, but unlike most athletes he is a scholar of good standing. Bob'l is a very reliable fellow and a friend to all. Bob when in doubt has a favorite expression which has become Academy known. That expression is I-Iellon. u f29i -1 s o GA i--------

19 I- ---- - W G A ------ -- - -I ---- -----34 . o ' 1 X WILLIAM GILBERT RUPP UB 1177 Q S7 i 'Shielc Baseball ,33-,34. From Hanover, where men are made, comes Bil1',. Our well-dressed man-about- town, but why shouldn't he be?-you guess. If youlve ever heard the story of the Ushielcv, then you will know 'lBill,'. When one views a group of girls Qparticularly if there is a red-head in the crowd, Q'Bill will be in the midst. Good luck, Bill',, and may your success live. KR, 61 , 5 CBA 'S RY SCHIEBEL 27, lit iryrn uSheebv f , I Af He gain is is eiinan, who comes from our beloved next door community of Hano r, 'Hfffw edge. Sheeb,' tells us it just seems he never can get enough of that stuff larnin'. Poor ol, 'lSheeb,'. It has been noticed that he has sprouted quite a number of immature grey hairs. The secret of this is, we found after much investigation, that after riding to and from school with Cannonball Sneeringer at the throttle-well, all We-can say is that it is a wonder that Sheeb isnit running a close second to Jean Harlow for hair. If Sheeb' ever recovers from these terrifying rides, we will rest assured that a successful college career is in his future. BANKS LEO SIEBER, JR. Banks Blue-Boy' Football '33-'34. This call and lanky youth is to be seen with flowing tie dashing to and from class almost daily. In the two brief years that Banks has been with us he developed such a profound love for the school and the surrounding campus that he spends most of his time there, never bothering about the outside world at all. At the dinner table is where our Blue-Boyi' really shines. Can that man put it away! In fact this is Banks' favorite indoor sport. He is a loyal patron of the finer arts. Banlcs may be quoted as saying during a recent interview, When I set out to do something, I do it Qtime out for expec- torationl. There is nothing half-way about me. My motto is 'Accomplish or be imper- ceptible to worldly eyes' 7' This sums Banlcs,' up in fewer words than we could ever hope to do. He is a man of character and determination, leading us to believe he will succeed when the time comes. Il . njravag 5020-YIJl Q-r C3 THERON FRANCIS SNEERINGER Steven Baseball ,33-'34. When one sees an old Hudson around the campus, one always knows that Steve is in town. ':Steve,' is another one of those lady chasers from Hanoverg however, it has been noticed that he does some chasing of poor, little Gettysburg girls also. Would you believe it? Were you ever taken for a ride? Let Steven, our best taxi driver, do it. Well, Steven, the boys appreciate your good rides up town. They all wish you success. E251
