ARTHUR RIGGS ARTY 1026 WASHINGTON AVENUE Barileii Auto Mechanics Riggs is right at the top of the class with our other Einsteins. He is quite successful in all he undertakes. He is the kind of fellow that all like to work with, intelligent and self-confideni. If he continues along this path his later life will bring him excellent rewards. He conquers who endures. Activities: Swimming, Football. WILLIAM ROSENBAUM. IR. BOSEY 462 COMLEY STREET Wilson Aero Rosey is an ardent admirer of the opposite sex, and whenever you see a beauitful maiden, there you're likely also to find Rosey. If he should by any mis- chance be drafted into the army, he will probably go completely mad, seeing only men, men, and more men. Bill is going to miss Ben Franklin, but how long can a fellow stay in school anyhow? Activities: Photographer on Iunto, Lieutenant Student Patrol, Fencing. JACOB SADEK YANKEE 137 N. 8TH STREET Sioddart Distributive Education Yankee, it has been rumored, was rather a lady's man, evidenced perhaps by his usual greeting, Hi, chicken. Yankee is another one of our millionaire aspirants, though we sometimes fear that he is not working quite hard enough at the means to come by it. His gift of song and genial manner Will certainly help him to any field of endeavor he may wish to reach. Activities: Loafing, crooning, and ? HENRY N. SCHULTZ DUTCH 1012 CHRISTIAN STREET Bartlett Mechanical Construction Duich is usually very quiet, except at times when he hears from D.W. Then he gets very loud and excited! Henry's favorite teacher was Mr. Briskin, and boy, can he do trig! He iniends to go to a iechnical school after he is released from the army and wants to be an engineer. Good luck, Dutch.

HAYWOOD PICKETT PIC 1212 S. 23RD STREET Audenreid Machine Construction Pic was :1 very well liked fellow around Franklin and was very active in school affairs. He was an honorary member of the student council and student patrol since entering the school. Pic was always a well dressed chap, genial to all his friends, and respected by his teachers. He earned c1 scholarship and will go to Kentucky State College. Activities: Vice-President, Treasurer of senior class, varsity football, justice of student court. 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

HOWARD SMITH SPEEDY 2610 ELLSWORTH STREET Audenreid Electrical Construction Speedy in the classroom is of the strictly silent type, but outside school he is rather of the smooth, sott, predatory kind. sometimes termed Lupine. Our sisters of William Penn frequently felt the effect of this quality in Speedy, when he happened to be out hunting. He who tears being conquered is sure of defeat. JAMES SMITH SMITTY 2505 N. 23RD STREET Vaux Commercial Smitty is one of our excellent Commercial course stu- dents. He is very sincere in doing his school work, and is looking forward to a business career. He wants to attend Lincoln University. Smitty is also a man of musical talents and plays drums in Chuck Iones' band. He is also rather outstanding at the basket. It is well to think well; it is divine to act well. Activities: Student Patrol, Basketball. HERMAN STEIN HYMIE 1487 KENWOOD AVENUE South Philadelphia Academic Hymie was a fellow with a friendly, easy-going manner, lots of determination to get ahead and much talent in bookkeeping. History and algebra came in close seconds in the line of studies. All these qualities certainly should land Herman at the top of any business profes- sion, and Hymie will surely get there if certain other distractions Ql do not loom too enticingly on the social horizon! SIDNEY STEINBERG COOKIE 847 N. 7TH STREET Stoddart Academic Cookie was one of the hard studying members of our class, and his scholastic record was indeed an en- viable one. He took a very active part in the Student Court and just barely missed obtaining the place of Chief Justice. Sid was also interested in the School Store, and somehow or other the store always profited when Sid was behind the counter! He was awarded the Kite and Key, Franklin's prize for good scholarship and fine school standards. Activities: Justice of Court for three terms, Iunto, Representative to the Interscholastic League, Schoox Store. Page 27 1946
