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

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.

RICHARD STRAUB RICH 1327 N. 30TH STREET Vaux Machine Construction If a fine qentlemanly personality and excellent brains are worth anything in this world then Rich should get to the top. He was one of our top-notch students and an all around likable chap. Willing to help on all occasions there shouldn't be much that Rich couldn't reach. Activities: Check room guard lst period Gym. LEVI THOMPSON PAT 1305 PARRISH STREET Stoddart Industrial Pat wants to go to Hampton Institute and study engl- neering. He had the honor to have his picture in one of the recent Franklin Anniversary Booklets. Socially and scholastically Pat was a most satistactory citizen of Ben Franklin, and we wish him the best of good tor- tune. Activities: Student Patrol. WILBUR THORPE CLARENCE 2826 ELLSWORTH STREET Audenreid Auto Mechamc A quiet fellow, Clarence was always on the spot when needed. We could always count on his doing what was right. Prompt in attendance, he gave every promlse of making his goal. While not an athlete himself, he was always on hand when the teams needed a cheer- ing section. Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it. ALBERT TIZER AL 1010 N. 2ND STREET Penn Treaty Commercial Though for awhile we did not know just how to take Al, time proved that we were justified in accepting him to our hearts and high opinion. A hard working lad, he went after things in the proper spirit, and with the help of a certain Mr. Silverman, Al reached his desired goal. Though a rather quiet fellow, we all felt that Al has what it takes for success. FRANKLIN ALMANAC Page28
