Possessing an immense vocabularly mingled with a charming personality, he experienced little difficulty in persuading us to contribute to this seemingly endless number of worthy causes. And certainly Frits Kreisler owes “Scotty” an apology for his rather amateurish performance on the violin. JAMES SMITH (Jones) 714 N. 19th Street, Philadelphia Born: February 26, 1926 Course: Academic and Machine Shop Honors: Glee Club, J-2 to S-2; Junior Life Saving Certificate. Give him a brush and a chance to paint and “Jones is content. Love of nature has made him a tree expert—merely an indication that “Jones” will do a lot of high climbing later. ROBERT E. SCHULTZ (Gawk) 112 Oley Street, Reading, Pa. Born: December 28, 1924 Course: Academic and Machine Shop Honors: Band, 7-A to 2-2. Amiable and practical-minded. Bob was a lover of mechanics and manual skills. His amusing stories and jokes ivill remain in our thoughts as reminders of many a happy moment. JOSEPH SCHWARTZ (Perry) 5440 Chancellor Street, Philadelphia Born: December 14, 1925 Course: Academic and Stenography Honors: Gym Squad, ’39; Secretary of Chemistry Club, S-l; President of Naturalist Club, S-2; Junior Life Saving Certifi¬ cate.

MICHAEL PONTARI (Mike) 1718 S. 10th Street, Philadelphia Bom: December 14, 1925 Course: Academic and Stenography Honors: Glee Club, J-2 to S-2; Orchestra, 1-2 to S-2; Secre¬ tary of Dramatic Club, S-2; Soccer, ’42: National Honor Society, S-2. Although not really the heaviest fellow in the class, Fats docs justice to his nickname. On the soccer field, in the Glee Club, and in the Orchestra he has shown his firowAss. On and off the dance floor Fats” was ahttays Casanova at his best.” VINCENT JOHN JOSEPH RICHARDSON (Rich) 5334 Lancaster Avenue, Philadelphia Bom: May 1, 1925 Course: Academic and Accounting Honors: Swimming, ’40. ' 41, ’42; Third Prize, Safety Essay; Senior Life Saving Certificate; Vice-President of Life Saving Club; Co-captain of Swimming, ’42. Mixing his aquatic talent with his happy-go-lucky personality, Vince swam into our hearts as a real friend. If he devours life ' s opportunities in the same manner that he puts away food, lie will encounter very little trouble in becoming a fat success. MERRILL J ROBERTS (Rommel) 103 Canal Street, Catasauqa, Pa. Born: March 6, 1925 Course: Academic and Foundry Honors: Captain in Battalion, S-l to S-2; Second Prize, Com¬ pany Competitive Drill; Secretary of Camera Club, J-2. Yes, Rommel’s the name—given early in 1942 when said General teas winning. But this Rommel takes pictures instead of fading from them. And he’s a real friend, too. RICHARD LEONARD SCHAFER (Schaf) 2480 16th Street NW, Washington, D. C. Born: December 12, 1925 Course: Academic and Electrical Shop Honors: Vice-President of Camera Club, S-l; President, S-2. When one of us wanted to know something about electricity or photography, we would go to Oaf. li’itty, he could always be counted on for a laugh. Schaf is a hard worker and should go far in any field of meclwnics or mathematics. ®l|r (Enrintbiau Jfamuu-y [ 24 ]

Born: October 8, 1924 Course: General and Carpentry Shop Honors: Vice-President of Carpentry Club; Contributing Ed¬ itor, Girard Magazine ; National Honor Society, S-2. Clyde is the kind of a felloiv who does not distinguish himself in extra-curricular or scholastic activities, but he certainly distinguishes himself in our minds. Adept at carpejitry, he is sure to mix his trade until his characteristics and be a success. OLINDO TADDEI (Ted) 412 S. 6th Street, Vineland, N. J. Born: October 9, 1924 Course: General and Au4o Shop If we ever wanted to know anything about auto mechanics, we asked Ted.
