MATHIAS LkHOY OOBBIN 25 Ninth Avenue, Haddon Heights, N. J. Born November IX, tUO'.l Haddon Heights High School, 1921 “Cobbin This wonderful product of fair Jersey had two ambitions in life-one was to raise a moustache like Nathanson’s (and it is estimated lie should be successful by about 1992), and the other was to ask questions in the fourth year that he had himself answered in the Freshman class. However, we should overlook these spontaneous outbursts of effervescent adolescence, because Roy’s many good qualities caused them to fade into insignificance. JOHN J. COLLMER 1235 N. Fifteenth Street. Philadelphia Born February 2' . tXUI Northeast High School, 1908 1. of I , Evening Wharton School Admitted to Bar, 1920 “Prezz” “Prczz John” appealed to us as a genial, likeable chap, one we were proud to acknowledge as a friend. He seemed to be able to continually associate with fellows like Goulev, Holder. Finney et al. and still main-lain his self-respect, yea, and his reputation. Between classes he acted as Title Officer for one of our leading trust companies, and was at once an ardent disciple of I .aak Walton, Johnny Weismuller and Bill Til-den. John “chiseled” quite a niche for himself in the Hall of Fame and in our hearts. His fine character won for him the honor of being chosen as president of the graduating class. • u

EDWIN A. J. BLANK .‘ill) Master Street, Philadelphia Born October 22. 1895 Straver’s Business College Temple University Law Prep., 1921 Admitted to Bar, 1926 Ed Should anyone chance to enter the Blank residence, he would think lie was in the Library of the Law Association. This walking Corpus Juris had a mania for reading cases, and once he got an idea in mind he held on to it tenaciously, due, no doubt, to his Pennsylvania Dutch extraction. Ed’s mind was anything hut what his surname might indicate. He was a member of Sigma Nil Phi Fraternity, member of the Activities Committee, and Registrar of the Russell H. Conwell Chapter of his fraternity. OSCAR BROWN 17015 South Street, Philadelphia Horn September 2. 1905 Central High School, 1922 Admitted to Bar, 1926 Brownie Oscar seemed to be the “goat” of the class. He had a far better line than any three traveling salesmen. Although one of the beefiest men of the class, he was our “baby,” according to age. His slaps on the back were cordial, oh, very! and likely to result fatally if the slapee wore false teeth. Oscar was just a big kid, but under his grufT manner and acquired airs, we all knew he possessed many sterling qualities. To the chickens he proved a stronger attraction than cracked corn. 40

LkROY COMANOR 7119 Cobb’s Creek Boulevard, Philadelphia Horn January Pt. 1901 West Philadelphia High School, 1922 Admitted to Bar, 1926 Roy was a chap who took his law coarse (and himself) very seriously. He was a tireless “case-hound,” and for several weeks before each exam would lock himself up in chambers and deny the world the pleasure of his companionship. Comanor was a member of the Activities and Docket Committees, a brother in Lambda Sigma Kappa, and a poet of some skill. While he admits he is not the author of “Bartholomew Fair,” he claims all rights, domestic and foreign (Scandinavian countries included) to “Temple” (supra). JOSEPH L. COMBER 1149 Paul Street, Philadelphia Horn January I, 1901 Frank ford High School, 1919 Admitted to Bar, 1926 ‘7 oe” There are some fellows who by their contagious cordiality, naturally attract and produce the stuff which makes for success. In this class Joe finds a notable place. Inspired by the efforts of his esteemed brother, our Prof who helped direct our thoughts and ideals anent Marriage (and unfortunately its inseparable concomitant, Divorce), he has reached his goal in becoming a member of the Bar. We know Joe will do honor to the firm name of Comher Comber.
