RICHARD EDSELL (Edi Wyolusing, Pa. Born: February 26, 1928 Course: Academic and Drafting Honors: Soccer, ' 45; Lieutenant in Battalion, S-2. Wyolusing ' s contribution to our Class is quiet, easy-going Ed. Al¬ though somewhat reticent, his timely-executed sarcasm is always becoming and pertinent to the occasion. Ed is one fellow who will certainly keep the world afire. PETER DAVID EVANOFF iPete) 2537 Natrona Street, Philadelphia.

A block off the old chip; that ' s Pete. Always thinking of others, he will always be held in our highest esteem. Indispensable in the Electric Shop now, Pete will be an electrical engineer hard to surposs. WILLIAM EVANS (Bill) 197 Brown Street, Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Born: April 19, 1928 Course: General and Machine Shop Honors: Glee Club, J-2 to S-2; Life Scout; Sergeant Quartermaster, J-2 to S-l, and Lieutenant, S-2, in Battalion. You might say that Bill has a contagious likableness, and the Class will verify that fact. People just naturally like Bill because of his ex¬ treme friendliness. We ' re go ng to miss that sonorous laugh echoing through the corridors. Here ' s to you, Bill EDWIN L. FINKEL Ed) Valedictorian 4131 Cambridge Street, Philadelphia.

Dramatics, gymnastics. Cadet Corps, and Glee Club—Joe certainly gets around. Scholastically able, Joe should have little difficulty in scampering to the top. Good luck, Joe! PAUL A. Dl CICCO I Chick i 7211 Tulip Street, Philadelphia. Born: May 8, 1928 Course: General and Patternmaking Honors: Lieutenant in Battalion, S-2; Firing Squad, ' 45.

His ombition, to be a dentist, is a good one and we are sure he will achieve his goal.

BERNARD J. FISHER (Bernie) 3117 W. Clifford Street, Philadelphia. Born: November 26, 1927 Course: General and Carpentry Honors: Referee in Building Soccer, S-2. Always willing to do his bit, Bernie is a sure success. Although he is a consistent joker, he knows when to be serious. His neat appear¬ ance and friendly, gullible manner will not be forgotten for a long time. a GEORGE A. FREYER (George 2705 W. Somerset Street, Philadelphia Born: February 28, 1928 Course: Academic and Sheet Metal Honors: Dromotic Club, J-l to S-2; Cast: Little Father in the Wilderness, The Lion ' s Whelp, Christmas Carol , Activities Night, ' 43, ' 44; Cast: ' Tale of Two Cities , Magic Exhibition; Special Art Class, ' 41 to ' 43; Short Story Award, First, ' 45 Girard Maaazine Staff, S-2. The Dramatic Club will sorely miss the excellent performances George gives. He is the sociolite ployboy of the class. George ' s pleasing personality is o great asset ond so ore his performances in magic. ROBERT GRANT (Bob) 2028 S. 23d Street, Philadelphia. Born: April 8, 1928 Course: General and Machine Shop Honors: Activities Night, ' 44; Pan American Day Celebration, ' 44 Bob is a placid, reticent, sincere classmate.

GRAY (Tom) 3716 Bouvier Street, Philadelphia. Born: December 29, 1928 Course: Academic and Electricity Honors: Dramatic Club, J-2; Activities Night, ' 44; Echelon Platoon.
