Philadelphia Normal School MITCHELL COLLINS 1512 Myrtlewood Street Mitch There is but one woman 10710111 I adore. to be with hier always would be bliss f01'G'UCTl7'LOT6.,, Mitehie-Ritchie-Nuf said. His one fault, a liking for the forbidden fowl. WVe nominate Mitch as the soloist in the Bar- tenders' Glee Club. His Amen,' at the end of daily hymn was proofof the above statement. DEWITT F. DAISEY 5347 Osage Avenue Daze Neither wise nor otherwise. Daze was very modest, so modest he wouldn't even tell the teachers what he knew. He was the fellow who always came up to requirements in a pinch, and his quiet way won him many friends. HOVVARD C. DAVIS 7071 Hegerman Street Mr, Davis 'IfVhen I taught at Oarford- If all the noise Mr. Davis made while in the Normal School were to be collected and ignited it would sound like the report of a penny cap pistol. Beyond a severe expression while teach- ing, Mr. Davis was a likeable fellow. l I JACK DICHTER 12-11 North Thirteenth Street '6Dick Gee, I taught a dandy lesson today. Dick was the other member of the worry twinsf To believe him one would think he were president of every organization under the sun, at its critical period. A musician par-excellence, he attempted to write some songs. Try, try again, Dick. He also had a voice, so has everyone else. 5s

. l 'A Class of func 1923 Svrninr VII GERHARD ANGERMAN 2509 Harlan Street .aGra7,yn I am Str Oracle, when I ope my lips let no dog bark. l Gary must have sat on the first row when the Lord distributed brains, but he knew this fact too well. He was our representa- tive from Missouri who delighted in asking the teachers Why their subject appeared on the roster. ' l C- R- BACH 6505'Rising Sun Lane ll'I?'. Bach Let thy speech be better than silence or be silent. There was something about Mr. Bach that prohibited inti- macy. It was not ego. I-Ie just carried himself like a good pedagogue should. NVe might call him The Ole Reliable. His good nature was evidenced by the constant use of the Word eXactly. f .

It is rumored , W 'Q that he once lost control of himself and spoke to Collins. SABTUEL COHEN 426 South Street Sam I clonlt bother work, and work clon't bother me. Sam was a walking enigma, here practical, there theoretical and in both states a puzzle. Also very subject to mental com- plexesf' A good stall we must admit. Actions may speak louder than words, but Sam used both actions and words. 57

I Class of func 1923 FREDERICK NV. IJONALDSON 2112 East Susquehanna Ave. Don was the chief enthusiast of the class. He always had something up his sleeve, usually his elbow. His head, however, was not used for a hat rack, his ears were. lVe wish Don the best of luckg and hope he will never lose his pep. Don liVhat do you say? 4 CHARLES EPSTEIN 1629 South Second Street ulippyfr Yes, sir. Eppy is the original yes-yes boy, always agreeing with teacher. A plugger, hard Worker, and handicapped he got there in the end. He was the snail, plodding, but sure. Eppy was a wonderful athlete, being captain of the checker team. I EMANUEL, GRATZ ' T48 South Fifteenth Street Here is our member of the All-Normal Jazz Band. .That b0Y could tickle the piano's ivories. His one fault, a desire to tell jokes, we laughed to be sociable. However, an all round good fellow. Did you hem' the latest sony? SOLOMON GEROFSKY S17 Bainbridge Street l ccsolxv You tell 'emf' Sol was a hardened criminal, butchering English and murder- ing his lunch. Despite these stains he was popular. No one will for-get the barrage of verbal fire he emitted in his maiden speech, about the Gayety fighter who cuddn't take it in the i stummickf' l I Manny 59
