Beg” is equally at borne wiring up a telephone circuit or doing some bard weight-lifting with a minimum of practice. His fine athletic build was gained by work and steady develop¬ ment. Against his strong, confident spirit, life’s obstacles should fall away quickly. SALVATORE AMER1CUS CAVALLARO (Cav) 812 Mountain Street, Philadelphia Born: April 21, 1926 Course: Academic and Machine Shop Honors: Lieutenant in Battalion, S-l; Vice-President of Class, J-2; Second Place, Competitive Drill, J-2; Vice-President of Naturalists’ Club, J-2; Soccer, ’42; Sergeant in Battalion, S-2. Cav” has a smiling personality that has stayed with him in moments of darkest gloom. His ability to make and keep friends is a direct product of his perpetual smile. Cav” had a wide scope of extracurricular activities and showed outstanding proficiency in the Battalion, athletics, photography, and nature study. CHARLES CLEMENCY (Clem) 125 North 51st Street, Philadelphia Born: February 25, 1927 Course: Academic and Stenography Honors: Glee Club, J-2 to S-2. Charlie is the up-and-coming Bob Hope of the class. His cynical humor can turn the dullest moments into entertain¬ ment. His outstanding talents were well exhibited in gym¬ nastics, weightlifting, and bull sessions as well. JOHN WILLIAM COLEMAN (Jack) 2706 Valley Drive, Alexandria, Va. Born: September 1 , 1926 Course: Academic and Sheet Metal Honors: Orchestra, 1-1 to S-2; Glee Club, J-2 to S-2; Dramatic Club, Cast: Yellow Jack, Office Boy Wanted, Abe Lincoln Sketch; Sergeant in Signal Corps, S-l, S-2; Contributing Editor, Girard Magazine. Jack may have been a quiet fellow, but he is certainly a hard worker. He did well in the many things he attempted. A valuable asset to the swimming team, he is sure to be just as valuable in his chosen field in life. [15 1 1944 (She (ttorinttytan

JOSEPH FRANCIS BAMBERGER (Joe) 6024 Bingham Street, Philadelphia Born: March 2, 1926 Course: General and Pattern Shop Honors: Student Council, 2-1, 2-2; Lieutenant in Battalion, S-2; Glee Club, J-2 to S-2; Soccer, ’42, ’43; Basketball, ’43-’44. The most typical hummer” is a title well-deserved by Joe. Active in athletics, a respected leader in the Battalion, and a real wolf.” The title fitted him very well. His pleasing wit and hearty laugh made him a center of attraction. SOLOMON BLECKER (Sol) 5022 North 10th Street, Philadelphia Born: October 6, 1927 Courses Academic and Stenography Honors; Orchestra, 1-1 to S-2; Glee Club, S-l, S-2; Assistant Concertmaster, S-2; Student Council, 1-2; L’Alliance Francaise Prize, 2-2; Second Prize, Safety Essay, 2-2; Sergeant in Signal Corps, S-l, S-2; Corinthian Staff; W-F-I-L Broadcast, Cul¬ tural Olympics, S-2; Contributing Editor, Girard Magazine; Dramatic Club, Cast: What Men Live By, Abe Lincoln Sketch, Prologue to Glory. If intellectual wizardry is dependent upon a diet of fish, Sol must eat whales exclusively. First in all branches of scholastic achievement, and a top-ranking member of the Dramatic Club, we find in Sol the unmistakable traits of a winner. We shall remember above all his marked linguistic ability. FREDRICK ARNOLD BRAHIN (Fred) 5276 Jefferson Street, Philadelphia Born: May 30, 1927 Course: Academic and Stenography Honors: Orchestra, 1-1 to S-2; Girard News, S-2; Girard Magazine, S-2. Fred, although a somewhat quieter member of the class, lacks nothing in real vivacity. A true musician, he is well- acquainted with several instruments. These accomplishments, combined with his winning affability, distinguish him as a Girardian. WILLIAM DAVID BREINGAN (Mouse) 131 West Ablcmarle Avenue, Lansdowne, Pa. Born: March 27, 1927 Course: Academic and Drafting Honors: Orchestra, 1-1 to S-2; Student Council, 2-1; Drama¬ tic Club, Cast: Prologue to Glory, Abe Lincoln Sketch; Fencing, ’43; Activities Night, ’43. Though small of stature, Mouse” is great of heart. A veritable brain trust, he must have come back for a second helping when brains were passed out. We’re looking forward to the firm of Breingan (4 Dawson.” fflnruttljtan January

John is one of those fellows to whom honors came easily. His fine violin playing contributed much to the success of the orchesttra, and as student leader of that organization, he ably showed what he could really do by way of leadership.

A pleasing countenance is no slight advantage,” quoth Ovid, and this is certainly trite in the case of our gremlin Debes .” A gifted drummer, his playing added to all music pieces which he played. May he arrive” soon in his life’s occupation. FELICE JOSEPH DIPIERO (Dip) 1703 Watkins Street, Philadelphia Born: January 27, 1926 Course: General and Sheet Metal Honors: First Place, Competitive Drill, S-l; Color Guard Quartermaster Sergeant, S-2. An excellent dancer, Dip” has mastered with equal ease the steps of his daily life here at Girard. Don Juan Dip” has established an enviable reputation for himself among feminine circles, and we’re betting he’ll be very happy in the years to KENNETH EDWARD DUNKELL (Dunk) 4611 G Street, Philadelphia Born: November 22, 1926 Course: Academic and Auto Shop Honors: Glee Club, S-l, S-2; Band, 1-1 to S-l; Track, ’42, ’43; Swimming, ’42, 43. Swimming his way into the sportlight, and smiling his way into our hearts, Ken” was a real asset to the class. Although full of fun, Ken” knew when to be serious, as you may see in his many achievements. ®lu ' fflurintljtan January [ 16 ]
