A. 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.

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.

We know Joe will do honor to the firm name of Comher Comber.

Not content with what he considered as the crude literary endeavors of “Edgar Allen Longfellow and “William Jennings Bryant,” Al set forth to furnish poetry lovers with suitable fuel with which to feed the fires of their impassioned souls. His contributions to the Docket speak for themselves. JOHN FRANCIS FINNEY 3401) Ridge Avenue, Philadelphia Horn August 2. IHM Central High School, 1918 University of Pennsylvania, 1922. B.S. in Ec. Admitted to Bar, 1920 “Jack Jack always said that the Jews owned the world and the Irish managed it in fact, his interest in his Hebrew brethren won for him the title of Honorary Rabbi. It is rumored that Doorkeeper Hockstein recommended him for the office. While a member of Bradstreet’s reporting staff he was a great help to those of us who tried to establish credit in the commercial world. As a neighbor of Judge Monaghan in the wilds of 34th and the Ridge, the law seems to have been his birthright. Finney, or “Funney,” was a member of the Docket Committee. 44
