ALLEN S. OOLGIN 1222 Langham Avenue, Camden, N. J. Horn Jannarij I. I90 South Philadelphia High School, 1922 “Al M Al was ever known as a quiet chap his peregrinations into the poetic fields gave him an imaginative strain which should he of service to him in his appeals before the Jersey courts. 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

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. 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

PHILIP J. FRANZKSE 2311 S. Fifteenth Street, Philadelphia Horn July 22. 1899 Southern High School, 1919 I'niversity of Pennsylvania, 1922, A.B. France” In spite of the fact that France appeared to he the spitting image of Relentless Rudolph Rassendale, of newspaper fame, his friends maintained that the similarity went no further. France appeared in class more or less spasmodically, and seemed to have a particular aversion toward making a good recitation. He was on several occasions observed by Pinkerton’s men in the act of entering the Casino when he should have been at school. Phil would have been on the class football team had there been one, as that game was his hobby. ABRAHAM FREEDMAN 5913 Pine Street, Philadelphia Horn So arm her 19. HIO'i West Philadelphia High School, 1922 Abie” Abie, the young southpaw, never missed a word of the lectures, although he had to stand on his head to write. He was a little like Vesuvius—for three long years he kept so quiet that he would have made the proverbial mouse sound like a brass band. And then came the fourth year, when Abie erupted, spreading his lava of knowledge to all four corners of the room. Abe served on the Docket Committee and spent his spare time in reading Anatole France and Eleanor Glyn. The prophecy of the class was written by little Abie ct at. 45
