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

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

JOHN J. GILBRIDK, JR. 2521 S. Broad Street, Philadelphia Horn August 0, 1899 South Philadelphia High School, 1918 University of Pennsylvania, 1922, B.S. in Ec. John Julius Caesar is reputed to have simultaneously directed his hat-ties on horseback and dictated to his secretary the details of his battles and also endearing letters to his wife. Our John would seem a worthy rival—he was so accomplished he could use his eyes reading the newspapers in class and his ears listening to the lectures. His dual capacity and gracious immaculateness have won him hcaucoup favor. MAXWELL M. COLDER 5510 lladfield Street, Philadelphia Horn Mag 28. 1890 South Philadelphia High School, 1911 University of Pennsylvania, 1919, B.S. in C.E. Congressman Congressman's first hit of notoriety came when he was made “Master of the Scrolls.” Max was one of the few men who could he at the same time successful as a married man, and a card genius. No one will ever forget Max’s performing acrobatic teeth. No matter what the circumstances, our corpulent friend never hesitated to remove his famous bridge work for the exclusive amusement of Ahscah Friedman. In addition to helping his wife with the dishes, the Congressman was noted as the Pilot (variant spelling) of the Steering Committee, and as a member of the Chiselers.
