LAWRENCE OLIVER LARRY 1225 N. 12TH STREET Stoddort Academic Larry was an extremely likable chop, and whenever he decided to put his mind down to work he was not far behind the best.

JOSEPH P. KEENE IOE 2012 RIDGE AVENUE Vaux Academic George was always a nicely dressed, well-mannered fellow, a gentleman in all respects. Though primarily an academic student George's interests did not con- fine themselves entirely to book study. He was fond of model air planes, played the violin nicely and had a vivid interest in sports, even expressing a desire to play football in college. Activities: Track, School orchestra, Photography. JOHN C. KRESCHICK HICK 1243 N. MASCHER STREET Penn Treaty Machine Construction What makes Hick run? He says it's trying to get to class on time. He looks forward to his life as a millionaire playboy, bright lights and gay nights are his speed, a chauffeured limousine with all the other trimmings. But, seriously, we didn't have a finer chap than Hick. A good student, congenial friend and all around school citizen, he carries with him the best wishes of every one of his classmates. Activities: Locker room guard in Gym. GEORGE LEE G.B. 1911 N. VANPELT STREET Barrctt Commercial George is very interested in commercial subjects at Franklin.

MICKEY 712 POPLAR STREET Stoddart Academic Stoddart's loss was Franklin's gain upon the advent of Mickey. This lanky, iour-letter athlete has such a radiant personality that he brought under his peculiar spell all who came in contact with him. Because of his cool head and clear thinking Mickey wins the respect of all. He became President of the school without question, was captain of the football team and basketball team. He won for himself the distinctive place of gaining 125 blood donors when the drive was on. Although a fellow of great ability, Mickey is modest, unassuming and, in every sense, a gentleman. Activities: President of school, justice of court, editor of Iunto, secretary of graduating class, representative of interscholastic league, junior varsity baseball, basketball, track, co-captain of Varsity football, cham- pion of varsity baseball, varsity basketball, All- public football, Checker champ.

JOSEPH PIERCE 105 1530 N. 22ND STREET Vaux Aero Ice started his high school work in the Aeronautics course, and is one of the few firsts to graduate from the four-year course. A very pleasing personality has given Ice a charm that is felt not only by the male sex! Joe was always careful of his clothes and looks, and thus proved a decided addition to our class. Activities: Student Patrol. HERMAN POGACHEFSKY POGY 4225 WYALUSING AVENUE Sulzberqer Academic Handsome Herman was one of the kibitzers of the fourteenth class. Poqy was a prominent socialite and prominent at all social functions. No poor student, his chief interests lay rather with the girls of William Penn. Pogy occasionally came on time, but whenever he failed to report promptly we could always be sure that he would offer a plausible excuse. Good luck, old chap. Activities: Student Patrol, Year Book. NORMAN REED SPEEDY 2034 FEDERAL STREET Barratt Aero Speedy is just the kind of student we like to have at Franklin. He always does his work well and can be relied on for whatever he says he'll do. He and his close companion, Ernie, were a very valuable help in many school activities, notably the Locker work. He is a full time Aero course graduate. Character is perfectly educated will. Activities: Student Patrol, Locker Committee. Page 25 1946
