24 In Retrospect Wesley L. Hoffman “Wes 649 North 53rd Street. Philadelphia, Pa. Cast: Scheming Lieutenant; Cast: What Men Live By; Cast: She Stoops to Conquor; Glee Club, J-2 to S-2; Band. 1-1 to S-2: Librarian of Band, 2-1 to S-l; Lieu¬ tenant of Band. S-2; Wardrobe Manager of Dramatic Club, S-2; Correspondent, Steel and Garnet, S-2. “Wes” wants to be a lawyer. He has already made a success as a public speaker in school. But “Wes” has also been an athlete, an actor, a musician, and a worker. In these, too, he has been far from a failure Well all keep in touch with “Wes” and, who knows, we may need his services some day. 2431 South Camac Street, Philadelphia, Pa, Sergeant in Battalion, J-l to S-l; Baseball Squad, ’33; Soccer Squad, ’33; Basketball Squad, ’33. All “Min” has ever asked for is an opportunity to do and he has done it. Such a persevering spirit of deter¬ mination will carry him a long way in the direction of his coveted goal. 1718 Edgemont Avenue, Chester, Pa. ' Associate Editor, Girard Magazine, S-2; Glee ( Doggedness, if there is such a word, is realty yS stands out most in “Scales.” He has had someJ knocks and always seems to come through looking more. A few years ago he was just commonplace, 1 most of us, but two or three months back “when he sat down at the piano—” you know the rest. Yes, and “John” will continue to make good.

January 1934 23 Charles Green Duck 630 North 8th Street, Camden, N. J. Band, 7B to S-2; Lieutenant in Band, S-2; Associate Editor, Girard Magazine, S-2; Staff: In Retrospect; Track Team, ’33; Conference Committee, S-2; Glee Club, S-2. Most of us have seen “Duck” as an ardent drummer in the band. We craned our necks to see what was making the thunder in “Finlandia” and saw “Duck” pounding with his whole soul on the tympani. As a drummer he has played everything from cathedral chimes to alarm clocks. And in the role of our life here he is just as good a man. Ernest E. Hall Ernie 959 Arrott Street, Frankford, Philadelphia, Pa. Band, 7A to S-2; Lieutenant in Band, S-2; President of Chemistry Club, S-2; Glee Club, J-2 to S-2. “Zing, zing, boom!” There goes the band under the di¬ rection of 1st Lieutenant Ernest E. Hall. But to us he is just “Ernie.” “Ernie” is also a radio fiend but still finds time to wrap himself up in photography. By his list of hobbies you can see that he is a practical worker.

January 1934 25 William E. Montgomery Monty 375 Congress Street, Bradford, Pa. Vice-President of Electrical Club, S-2; Lieutenant of Battalion, S-2; Associate Editor, Girard Magasine, S-2. “Monty” is one who appreciates and loves beauty—es¬ pecially feminine charm. He prides himself in being a ladies’ man. If you desire to know what month it is, ask Mae, June, Julia or Agnes. Peculiar how he seems to pick out the proper names to fit the date. Harrison E. Nace Harry- 514 Main Street, Red Hill, Pa. Soccer Team, ' 32, ' 33; Baseball Team, ’33; Basketball Team, ’33; Athletic Council, S-2; Vice-President of Physics Club, S-l, S-2. “Harry” is a typical local boy who made good. It is easily gathered that “Harry” is from the country, but this is to his credit. His proficiency on the playing field and his conscientious effort in the classroom made “Harry” a man that any town should bring out the band for. Francis A. Neibert “Nibs 6714 Martin’s Mill Road, Lawndale, Philadelphia, Pa. Band, 7B to S-2; Captain of Band and Student Leader, S-2; Glee Club, S-l to S-2; Librarian of Glee Club, S-2; Conference Committee, S-l; Cast: What Men Live By; Cast: She Stoops to Conquer; Cast: Christmas Carol; Vice President of Dramatic Club, S-2; National Honor Society; Vice-President of National Honor Society, S-l; Sec’y-Treas. of National Honor Society, S-2; First Prize, Short Story Contest, S-l; First Prize, Thrift Essay, 2-2; Second Prize, Penmanship, 2-2; Editor-in-Chief, In Ret¬ rospect; Second Prize, Declamation Contest, S-2. Every time a call is made for volunteers to build some¬ thing, “Nibs” is in the line. In class activities, a musician, an actor, a good public speaker, a writer who has taken all the best prizes, and a fellow who has convictions for right doing, are some of the reasons we like him. He says he wants to be a teacher, and the only comment we have is that he is sure to be a good one. V ry
