He came from Germantown High School after staying there only a half year. Six months before the 187th,s graduation he accelerated and matriculated at Muhlenberg. HWalt's,' hobby is photog- raphy from which he gets a great deal of enjoyment. He is a regular fellow and we wish him sucess as our first member to be in college. 'LW1llt graduates with us in spirit!

ROBERT DOERNBACK 5041 N. 17th Street Cooke Junior High School g'Bob is the quiet friendly type of fellow. In the time he has been at Central he has made many lasting friendships through his good-natured disposition. Definitely no slouch when it comes to studies, uBob is also class activity-minded, being on several class committees. We are sure that with the facilities nature has bestowed on Bob.,' he cannot help going far in the outside world. Extra-Curricular Activities: Publicity Committeeg Show Committeeg Intramural Sports. JACK DONALD 7353 Thouron Street Wagner Junior High School Wvagner Jrnior High contributed a welcome addition to the 187 when it sent Jack to us in the tenth grade. The kind of a fellow who is a friend of all, and enemy to no one, Jack is one of the youngest members of our class. He holds the much envied position of not taking gym. achieving this because of an arm injury received when he tried out for football on enter- ing the school. We must certainly save a fond spot in our memories for Jack. SIDNEY DRATCH 1026 2nd Street. Kearny Junior High School There is no boy in the class who appreciates good humor more than g'Sid.,' His calm disposition will easily carry him over any hurdles of life. Work and Sidney go hand in hand, and he is well adapted to accepting responsibility. Success is bound to come to him, due to his dili- gence and eagerness to work. His popularity can be attributed to a bubbl- ing personality fnot the bromo-seltzer varietyl. The best wishes of the class go with our congenial friend.

Corlies Street Blaine School uStan's tireless efforts to lend a helping hand will not be soon forgotten by the 187th Class. Although a serious fellow, 'gStan,, never suppressed his beaming smile at the stimulation of a joke. When and if he had it, he was glad to lend out his Algebra or Physics to a needy classmate. Always a hard and earnest player and worker, 'fStan', will succeed, we feel sure, in any venture he may undertake, and we wish him all the luck he may need.

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.

JULIUS ELLIS 1619 N. 30th Street Shoemaker Junior High School What would classes have been without .Iulie,s heartwarming giggle? Yes, he was one of our chief morale-builders, and on the outside he seemed equally as fascinating to the girls. The attraction that the fair sex held for him did not prevent him from representing his school on the tennis cou1't. Even there he had the love game down to a sciencefoften losing by a score of 6-0. 6-0, 6-0. That's some love, brother! But Julie received his letters for tennis-so he must have been pretty good after all. Extra-Curricular Activities: Varsity Tennis Teamg Orcheslrag Intra- mural Sportsg Book Treasurer.

He was well liked by all the class and was always ready to oblige you by laughing at any and all of your jokes. His main interests lie in photography and dancing. but he found time to run on the 194-6 championship track and X-country teams.
