EARL BERTON BRILL 6628 N. 18th Street Wagner Junior High School The Senator', is known by all of his classmates to be a jovial fellow and a good sport. He appreciates a good joke, whether it is played on him or he plays one on someone else. Earl's comical antics kept us chuckling through the entire period. His hobby of N.A.D.T. :recounts for his carefree and nonchalant manner. Earl spreads joy and happiness even after school hours by delivering MEAT for a butcher. All the facts explain why Earl is one of the most popular boys in the 187th Class. Extra-Curricular Activities: Class Show Committeeg Intramural Sports.

RICHARD M. BREISH Finletter Elementary School Although Dick', is rather reticent and unassuming, he has made himself very well liked during four years at Central. Good in all his studies, as is evidenced by the frequent appearance of his name on the Barnwell Honor Roll, Dick', is especially interested in Mathematics. His hobbies are photography and electricity, emphasis being placed on the latter. After graduation, he plans to matriculate at Drexel, where he expects to study Electrical Engineering, a field which he has already partly conquered, and in which we all feel that Dick,, is destined to be a success.
