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

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

URIEI. WALLACE MACK 1307 S. ZZND STREET Barratt Academic Uriel was a fine all around fellow, good in his scholastic work, a gentleman to work with and an excellent athlete. Our football opponents will always remember Uriel's unyielding gridiron tactics. He was also our outstanding shot-putter. Uriel's extracurricular activities were as serious a charge to him as his work in the classroom, as we can judge from the list of his doings scheduled below. He wants to go to college, and we all feel that he will be a decided addition to any institution of learning he may choose. Activities: Captain of Student Patrol, Football, Shot- putl Chief Justice of Student Court, Editor of Year Book! Anniversary Booklet, Co-Captain of Football Team, Track, Vice-President of Senior Class. DAVID WRIGHT DAVE 1717 N. 25TH STREET Vaux Machine Construction Dave is an ardent gymnast and his favorite pastimes around the school have been in the sports line. Other-I wise he is famous for two things: being first in the hot counter line in the lunch room, and his ability to make the girls starty-eyed about him. Dave's ambition is graduation from Howard University, and we wish him all success. Activities: Patrol, Prom Committee. Page 29 1946
