Class of fune 1923 PHILIP KLIGMAN If a beard is the sign of manhood, Klig ought to have a family by now. He is the Better Half of the worry twins. In all fairness we must admit Klig was a thoroughly likeable chap, though sensitive at times. MQAURICE L. RISEN Down with the Government. lliorris was quite the information bureau of the Cl21SS. His views on all subjects were worth considering, for his forceful manner in imparting information demanded attention. One of his qualites, admired by the gils, WHS his H1PeTf9Ct mafceue' Another notable alumnus added to our Alumni. l 324 East Roosevelt Boulevard CiIilig7? HARRY MCKINNEY 5433 Morris Street H-n1'a077 An Irishman-a very valiant man-i'faith. --Shakespeare. Mac was our representative of the Emerald Isle. It is not an exaggeration to call him the most popular fellow of the class. On the basketball floor Mac was a bright light. During the advanced Senior year Mfac was bitten by the dance bug and essayed to ensnare Mitch's heart's desire. Guess who? HARRY I. RANTZ 2603 South Fairhill Street ' Radio Reds And his jews' go on forever. Red's wagging vehicle of speech very nearly 'approaches a perpetual motion device. He was well liked-especially by his mother. He was evidently of the opinion the louder the voice the better the argument. All in all, he was a good sport and student, beyond his radio craze. 174 VVest Olney Avenue Mow-is 61

Philadelphia Normal School FREDERICK C. GRUBER 2332 North Fifth Street Freddy Quiet, unassuming and not offensive to any man. Freddy Wore a perpetual smile, not a grin, either. VVe sup- pose he believed in tl1e song, Have a Smile for Everyone You Meet. Witliin his head rested beaucoup de brains and we were made aware of this very often. ELMTER JOHNSTON 37 7 Green Lane, Roxborough I Elmer Ha-Hoi! Although a scholar of the first rank, Elmer had no use for a shoe horn in order to get his chapeau on his cranium. When in need of filibustering in history, we called on Elmer to start somethingg Risen was always sure to object and then a debate ensued that would make the most violent tornado seem like a gentle breeze. An artist, par excellence. PHILIP KATZ 525 Pierce Street - V Phil For e'en tho' vanquished he could argue still. A Phil is one of those persons who thinks itya weakness ever to agree with the teacher. In disagreeing he delighted in using original Webste1'ia,n tongue-twisters, to our delight. His theories in psychology were original to say the most. LOUIS H. KESSLER 3205 Clifford Street Kess ' My kingdom for a bed. ' Place-Guthrieis room. ' . Scene-A shy youth rests calmly, oblivious of his surround- ings. Shy Youth- Um-m-m. NVass the time? Through recitin' YQ? AW-W- A11'1g11t-H Pause. Aw let me sleep. Cur- tain. WVe must say, however, that Kess knew more about the literary world than anyone else in the class, the evidence being a book of poems to read during assembly. G0

NIARTIN SIXLAR 722 VVinton Street Day by day in. every way. Philadelphia Normal School CHARLES OTTO ROESER W 5311 Chancellor Street Dutch HA modern Adonis was he, and worthy mate to Venus say we. Dutch, otherwise known as Chollie and Royser, was our modest and blushing boy, popular with the fellows as well as the girls. A good basketball player it was once rumored he scored a held goal. Our Beau Brummel, yet not spoiled- much. ' i'Mike ' Mike, one of the most popular boys in the class, always kept his stable clean of ponies, yet graduated with flying color. He was so short that when in a crowd the fellows had to take great care not to step on hi1n. His frequent smiles made him a suitable model for a tooth paste ad. BARNET SHEAR 1626 East Passyunk Avenue Barney '6Hooray for me. It seemed to us that Barney did not eat to liveg he lived to eat. Barney's parents were well rewarded when inspect- ing his reports. But oh, what a gas bill they must have had. Barney was quite successful in the Normal School, and were it not for his feet he would have been a good dancer. Type- writers were Mr. Shear's staff of life. ALFRED STARK 4619 North lvarnock Street C6-lil!! Fm a psychologist. Although only a vest pocket edition of the real thing, Al had many ideas beneath his hat. He admitted he is a psychlogist. NVe don't know where he got that idea--must have been affected by Colvin. A1's mental capacity was in inverse ratio to his physical form, but in direct proportion to 11is ego. 62
