O When we first assembled as the Freshman Class at P. S. C. O. there was a great deal of confusion in the minds of Faculty and student body alike as to who was who among the three Cohens of the group. A.l. soon became outstanding for it was impossible to miss him in the classroom. For three years A.l. commuted daily between Trenton and Philadelphia. Be it understood that he was a family man and prone to narrate incidents indicating the high l. Q. of his cherished offspring. A.l. or Pop , as he came to be known among his more facetious friends, always had a large repertoire of gags and stories which we imagine were acquired through chance acquaint- ances with travelling salesmen while riding from Trenton to Philadelphia. The greatest of the Cohen group of P. S. C. O. l934 was by no means the least scholastically speaking for he gained repute early in his career here as a mathematician and theoretic optician.

With so much fertile material the problem becomes more complicated. lnthe first place Larry carried off the honors for the tallest among us for at least one year-'twas horrible to see him crumble when an adversary appeared in his junior Year. Then too, Larry gave us something to talk about in the form of being the Cranddaddy of progressive myopia until his progress was stopped during the Frosh year. Can you see now the gigantic problem that confronts this scrivener with so many records broken by one man? Coming down to brass tacks lif you get the pointl Larry has formed some close friend- ships here at P. S. C. O. Chief among these we would list that of his room-mate, an honor- able member of the Scottish Clan and answering to the name of Campbell. Larry gives us the long of the long-and-short of room number six. Crisp, facile-minded and dependable are the characteristics that describe Larry , He acted as treasurer of his fraternity to the bene- fit of that organization-no doubt about that as some of the members might ruefully admit. We will mention another fact that can be made without fear of contradiction. Larry will close his three years here with high scholastic honors to his credit. This honor has entailed a great amount of work but Larry has never been known to fail in this matter. To this likable member of our class we can only extend our best and most sincere wishes for a successful career. We are sure he will achieve it--and to the credit of his Alma Mater and profession.

I Exemplifying the City of Brotherly Love, jack has been a steady commuter to Col-- lege Hall. He always managed to arrive in the nick of time for classes, but after class, nothing could 'tear him away from the suite of rooms near the Senior Lounge. Suffice it to say that jack's good sportmanship was enough to make him welcome at any meeting. Entering the Freshman Class unheralded, he quickly became known through his inspiring performance of the latest in soft-shoe steps at the Freshman Smoker. This act alone was enough to insure his making friends, and it was not long afterwards that Brown and Hur- witz were making the first hesitating taps behind locked doors in an effort to match the nimble jack. Knowing jack's propensities for a good practical joke, we were not surprised to see him one of the ring leaders in devising new methods of embarrassing the more conservative members of the Clinic staff.
