West Philadelphia High School Overbrook High Sclhool Student Activity Gouncil lll E lRlSl934' V GEORGE LENARD BROWN Philadelphia, Pa. Hailing from Philadelphia, George was in a position to show his classmates the ins and outs of the third largest city in the country. He was one ofthe really quiet and unassuming men in the class. His quietitude was of great use in the matter of entering the class tardily. When it came to obtaining a grasp of the work presented, he was far from tardy. Not only did he learn his work well but he was ever willing to explain to anyone not so well-endowed with what it took. As to his social life, we have little information for he was not prone to brag about it. Un- doubtedly a man who could perform so well in the classroom should be able to get along in a drawing room and perhaps this may explain some of those late entrances to class. l Fifty seven

Fifty-six 'THE IRIS l Battin High School Freshman Assessment Committee Q31 MORTIMER APFELROTH Doc Elizabeth, N. 1. May we now present one of the most professional and learned men of the class? Doc had the advantage of many of us through contacts with the profession before he came to P. S. C. O. But even this does not explain the progress of this earnest jerseyite. And, don't get the idea that books were the only things Doc ever cracked! His wisecracks often gave us a laugh-a few days later. During his Senior Year, some friend lor wagl sent him a large box filled with cocoanuts. Doc Avigorously asserted that there was nothing symbolic about the gift!

651i Fifty-eight 0 THE IRIS l Turtle Creek High Scfhool Duquesne University Carnegie Institute of Technology - sz A T Chairman Ring Committee l3l Camel Turtle Creek Pa COLIN CAMPBELL I lf you've met the Canny Scot from Turtle Creek you've probably heard that his hamlet contains the largest single span rigid bridge in the world. The class heard it for three years. And that isn't the only thing the Creek holds for the Campbell Clan lin totol resides there. Here's one member of the class who isn't trying to deny or live down his home town. Why should he when he expects to open up a practice there? From the time Camel and Larry Clegg moved into a penthouse at Green Street in their Freshman Year they have been close friends, the Scot being a mite the closer of the pair. However, Camel didn't confine his attentions to his roommate as he was well-known and liked by the entire class and not a few young ladies of the City. He made it a point never to appear at a school dance with the same girl but, in later years, he'll probably find it necessary to modify this conduct. Colin always exhibited the right attitude toward his studies and his Alma Mater and we do not hesitate in predicting a successful practice and happy future for this diminutive member of l934.
