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.

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

JERK CRESKOFF 5262 Parkside Avenue, Philadelphia Horn April 12. 1902 South Philadelphia High School, 1919 University of Pennsylvania Admitted to Bar, 1926 Jerry” Jerry (or as he would have it, by simplified spelling, Jere) never missed reading a Florida case; in fact, he even took trips to the land of “Youth’s Fountain” to further his knowledge of Florida real estate law. Had the dear fellow read as many cases as novels in class, he would probably he Chief Justice by this time. CreskofTs handsome countenance was certainly a shining light in the class, particularly when he asked one of his meaningless questions to try to kid the prof into thinking he was paying attention. THOMAS A. CURRAN Morton, Pennsylvania Horn August 6, 1900 Swarthmore High School, 1918 Admitted to Bar, 1925 Tom Tommy was a cute little urchin from the wilds of Delaware County. Always prepared to answer questions correctly, lie soon convinced the faculty that he could not he stumped, even if called upon in impromptu fashion. Tom was an expert shot with the rifle, a strong swimmer, and a tennis player who usually won his matches in straight sets. His pleasing personality and undoubted ability should add considerable distinction to the Chester Bar, as they did to the Banquet Committee of the class. 43
