Harry is ore of our quiet boys about the school, but when it comes to classroom recitations, he is pretty much awake. At basketball he is a ‘’whiz’ as most any of the boys can tell you. Harry is uncertain about his future work, but we know that he will succeed in whatever he undertakes. FANNIE SIEGEL Commercial “Silence is golden.” Typewriting Certificate. Ill: Typewriting Medal.

Harry's athletic record shows that he tried to do all he possibly could for the Alma Mater—something that counts a great deal in a boy's character. He can be serious and a good sport besides. He has a cheerful word for everyone and does his best in everything he undertakes. If he repeats this record at the Philadelphia School of Pharmacy, which he intends to enter in the Fall, we’re sure he’ll be a success. Best o’ luck. Harry.
