FRANK M. STEINBERG 245 S. Fifty-fifth Street, Philadelphia South Philadelpliia High School, 1918 University of Pennsylvania, 1922, R.S.'in C.E. “Strinir Abramson saw more of Steinie than he did of his own wife and baby. Sam and Frank went through their high school, Penn and Temple battles together, and even answered examination questions in similar terms. To bring events to a logical conclusion, they should form a partnership to try cases involving engineering questions. How lucky for both that the class was not seated in alphabetical order, for Steinie with out Abramson, or Sammie without Frank, would probably have meant two acute melancholia complexes to dampen the enthusiasm of our gang. WILLIAM R. TOAL 42 Brighton Avenue, Kirklyn, Pa. Horn December 9. 1893 South Philadelphia High School, 1911 Admitted to Bar, 1926 “Bill Though in Media he was known to the elite as “The Honorable W. Reilly Toal,” he was always just plain Bill to ns, and after a somewhat turbulent election was chosen Class President for the Junior year. He was the majority leader in his section of the room, and was the official “questioner” of that group. It was nothing unusual for him to show the profs wherein they erred in the law, hut it seems they failed to appreciate his warnings and continued in their unenlightened course. However, W. Reilly was always a serious thinker and knew his law. 65

WILLIAM REESE SPOFFORD 12 Harvin Road, Upper Darby Twp., Pa. Born January 31, 1X97 U. of P. Evening School, Accounts and Finance, 1920 Admitted to Bar, 1925 “Bill” William Douglas Fairbanks Reese Valentino SpofTord rendered yeoman service as Chairman of the Banquet Committee and in many other ways, one of which was in keeping his neighbor and confidant, Todd, awake. When Bill put on his broadest Hollywood smile, his ears and other handsome features were barely perceptible. However, Bill was unjustly severe, at times, with some of his fellow classmates. It’s wiser to boost, William, than to knock. JOHN STANZIOXK 1242 S. Harmony Street, Philadelphia Born January : , 1899 Strayer’s Business College, 1914 T. U. Real Estate Conveyancing Course, 1920 Admitted to Bar, 1925 “Stanze John’s quiet, dignified personality was an outstanding feature of the class. His modesty was another characteristic, for he never advertised the fact that he was an accomplished musician and gave frequent recitals from the local radio stations. To lend tone to his musical temperament, he even moved to Harmony Street. As a leader in Italian circles, he was pre-eminent, and his admission to the Bar was hailed as an epochal event by his friends, celebrated by a banquet at which some of the city’s most prominent men were speakers.

F. PHKLPS TODD 21 K. (iorgas Lam , Philadelphia Horn January . HM6 W icomico High School. 1913 Tonic School Ini versify of Pennsylvania, 1918, B.S. ”7 odd “Kelps” was SpofTord’s hdlcr half. It is rumored that Todd practically dictated the policies of the Provident Trust Company. It is fortunate that the class had men of Todd’s conservatism to counteract to some extent the influence exerted by a few of our ultra-radical members. Todd was essentially a man of pleasing personality, hard common-sense, reliability and thoroughness. He rendered assistance to “The Docket” Committee. JOHN SIMMONS TW’INN Limekiln Pike, (ilenside. Pa. Horn September 2b, IttOH Cheltenham High School. 1917 Jack Jack’s name brings up aspersions of a “double” life and a better half, but neither one is applicable. The only thing about him that might cause any apprehension is the fact that his habit of walking around in low-gear led many of us to believe that he came from New Jersey (even as Leon Rose), but such was not the case; for when John was not at his Glenside abode he was in the School Law Library surrounded by a host of formidable-looking books. It was rumored that Twinn spent from four to four and a half hours daily waving his hair. 66
