BORIS DANIEL CAHAN 1509 Nedro Avenue Wagner Junior High School Long after graduation, the 187th Class will remember '4Danny. Boris7 'i interest runs in all scientific subjects -i.e., Biology, Chemistry. Physics, and Radio. He has presented questions which even Curlyi' has failed to answer. He loves nothing better than to make smells, explosions and a general mess in the lab-our pet theory for Curly,s curliness. But many of us have HDanny', to thank for his L'cooperation during tests. With high school behind, Boris', is going to make the world sit up and notice another Einstein. EDWIN R.

He doesn't like to elbow his way to recog- nition, but would rather be recognized from the back of the room. Although somewhat retiring in nature, he has a way with the girls. The fellow who said, Woman, Woman, thou art Distraction itself! certainly did not have MCookie,, in mind. 4'Stan', has successfully climbed through three years at Central even with the added burden of 'tgirl-trouble. He will always be remembered as a good sport and a friend of all. Extra-Curricular Activities: Intramural Sports: Zenith Staff: Harnwell Honor Roll.

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.

STANLEY coWAN 5042 N. Franklin su-set Cooke Junior High School One of the more congenial boys in the class is 'tStan Cowan. He can be found in a crowd of fellows, either amusing them with his witticisms, or responding heartily to the wit of others. Among his hobbies we find that '5Stan,' also has a liking for girls. After graduation, '4Stan plans to attend Penn State where he will further his education. Wherever nStan ventures we wish him the best of luck. Extra-Curricular Activities: Intramural Sports. ROBERT CHARLES CROSSAN 7138 Limekiln Pike Wagner' Junior High School 5'Boh,, is called uBob by mere passing acquaintances, but to men who know him best, he's Crubber', two to one. Chemistry is his outstanding sub- ject fhe,s a Barnwell Boyi, and we all remember him as Doc Abrahams' 'trighthand mann t?J. Maybe this ruined his ambition to be a chemist, for it now seems he is destined for the role of mortician fmy, we hate to wish him successll. Weill remember 5'Bob long in the future!

DAVID DEAR, JR. 1829 W. 73rd Avenue Wagner Junior High School David Dear, alias '6Dave,,' is one of the philatelists of our class, although he has lately found little time for his hobby because of activities on school and class publications. Dave's pleasant personality has attracted to him many lasting friends. He has that knack for making quick friend- ships. Upon graduation, he plans to attend college, although at present he is undecided as to what course of study he will pursue. Judging from his career at Central we feel confident that '4Dave,' will be successful, what- ever the field of endeavor he may choose.

ROBERT FRANK DE VINCENT 6029 Colgate Street Wilson Junior High School Def, though quiet to all outward appearances, could always be depended upon for a hearty laugh or a quick retort. He made a great listener, willingly hearing out your jokes, and laughing as though he had enjoyed them. This acquiescent spirit and a friendly smile are uBob's two greatest assets. We've discovered proof that HDe,s hobby is, believe it or not, pigeon raising fwe thought it referred to women, but after seeing the evidence-beware all statuesii. With Dei, go our best wishes for a bright future. STANLEY DI.-KMOND 5655 N. 10th Street Wagner Junior High School The boys who were fortunate enough to sit in class with 4'Studi' con- sider themselves lucky. He has an ingenious knack for turning the room on its ear with his hilarious remarks-still remaining on friendly terms with the Prof. We won't readily forget Stud's illustrations of Shakes- peare on the boards of the English classes. His readiness to brighten up the room with his talents makes him Well liked by the fellows. When they look back at the days in Central, 5'Stud will be remembered as one of the highlights of the glorious 187. Extra-Curricular Activities: Star-Gazer Staffg Show Committee.
