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

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.

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

OSCAR B. FRIEDMAN 2434 S. Seventh Street, Philadelphia Born December 17, 1903 South Philadelphia High School, 1921 Admitted to Bar, 1925 Ahhsscarr In his boyhood days, Oscar served an apprenticeship as Major F’s orderly and handy man, and it was the Major’s frequent boast that his shoes were always nicely polished, his brass cuspidors spick and span, and that there was never a day that he lacked his steaming soup from the wholesome kitchen of the Vendig. O. B. always had plenty to say, whether he had a volunteer or drafted audience. It is reported that Oscar’s rapid rise among the public speakers of the day hastened the death of the late Mr. Bryan. K. HERMAN Ft’IMAN 7.r 9 S. Second Street, Philadelphia Born March 2 , 1903 South Philadelphia High School, 1921 Admitted to Bar, 1926 “Smiling Hi Fuiman was known as the “late Mr. Fuiman”; in fact, the only time he was ever prompt, we are told, was at meals. He always had the happy faculty of coming in when the session was half over, and creating more disturbance than an Evidence examination. Not only was our friend an esteemed member of the Bar, but he had a decided penchant for music, frequently heard the call of the wild and went camping. 40
