Irene M. Balcewicz “Renee TRENE M. BALCEWICZ, 2714 E. Allegheny Avenue. Little - ■ “Renee,” the baby of the class, came to us in our Freshman year looking like a doll, and she left us looking otherwise. Although she was at times quarrelsome, she however was our friend. She had that babyishness about her (which she called personality) that made us all like her, especially the male sex. She was interested in the “Dents” and we think there was one that was particularly interested in her. Maybe we will lie invited to a wedding in the near future. Who knows? When she first entered school, she had curls which were both the delight and despair of many a male student. During her Junior year she became very brave and renounced her childhood days. She had those pretty curls cut off. Even then, she possessed that “It” that makes some fellows look around. The Senior year found Renee” an expert at breaking hearts, and since all the Dents” were acvare of her ability she had to turn her talent (?) elsewhere. Renee” never knew why she studied days before examinations, while other members of the class never studied, and yet made higher grades than she. This little incident made her mad, and she could be always found asking how it was possi' ble. We know the answer, but do you? Lots of luck, “Renee.” Activities: Minehart Scientific Society. 29

A LBERT PH. BAILIN, 3146 W. Berks Street. “Al was the class ■ Red, and often admitted having radical opinions. He sup' ported his views with a welhchosen and varied vocabulary. He was the class authority on such subjects as “Communism, Socialism, and many other isms. (What a pity. He might have put it to a better use.) While at school he was the student organizer of the Employee Pharmacist Guild of Pennsylvania. This organization was his pet topic, and he could be found almost every day arguing its merits. Maybe he was right; maybe there was need for such an organization. He worked for the same man during his entire College days. Al had a rather peculiar affection, and that was his wearing jerseys to class instead of shirts. In his senior year, he became somewhat of a politician, but failed miserably in this endeavor. This was probably due to the fact that most of the students in the class were not in accord with his ideas and practices. We wonder if Al still goes through a stiff night of danC' ing—on the sofa? He was always telling his classmates what he was going to do in later years, and believe you me, that boy could build castles. He would frequently amuse the class by his recitals of his experiences (?) with women. Nevertheless, the fellows got along with him. Activities: Senior Banquet Committee. 28

OAMUEL BARON. 2928 Arizona Street. To “Sam went the dis-tinction of being the only one who was able to get a ten for a recita' tion from Bossle. He managed to do this by making Bossle appear foolish. ■’Sam” was more than an average student. He became a member of the Minehart Scientific Society in his Freshman year. In his Senior year he applied for membership in the famous “Brain Trust. His application was turned down, and Sammy had to go places alone. He didn't do so bad alone either. His favorite pastime was playing rubgy in the Bald' win Stadium. He scored more points than any one man, and it was due to his playing that the team of which he was a member always won the game by a wide margin. Sam was also a ping pong player, but his playing days were cut short when he lost to Orkin, and became the laughing-stock of the players. Orkin was probably the worst player in the city. “Sam was a real jovial fellow whose ever-ready smile and cheery w’ord will be remembered by the w'hole class. When he started his wisecracks in the upper amphitheater, the class settled back to take in all they could. Besides taking part in classroom pranks, in which he was recognized as a leader, he wfas a story teller of some merit. Activities: Minehart Scientific Society. 30
