ABRAMS, EDYTHE (Yiddish)
Miller

Hobby—Talking
President-Health Club, Secretary-Dramatic Club, Social Committee Newsette-Clubs and Activities, Class Book Committee

"And the lady shall say her mind freely, or the blank verse shall halt for it"

To a basis of friendliness and good cheer add a teaspoonful of seriousness. Beat in a quantity of pep seasoned with a few good grades. Sprinkle generously with humor, serve in a good time and you will have--Edythe Abrams.

AIELLO, PHILIP G. (Philly)
Epiphany

Hobby-Basketball, Baseball, Basketball, Football

"An athlete, today, yesterday, and forever"

The power of a Dempsey, the speed of a Cobb, and the skill of a Grange, have all been combined in Phil to produce the perfect athlete. He plays the game fair and square. Also a good friend—quiet and industrious at times.

AVERY, ANNIE (Peaches)
Hazelwood and Gladstone Jr. High
Hobby-Dancing, Basketball, Volley Ball, Home Economics Club

"So fine, so good, she dwelt alone."

Proud we are of Annie. Overcoming all obstacles she has distinguished herself in scholarship and athletics. She is well liked by teachers and students because of her willingness to work and to reach the goal. We wish her luck at Howard.

BALLON, FANNIE (Fan)
McKelvy

Hobby-Books
Friendship Club, Library Committee

"There is no royal road to learning"

The day before book reports are due is when Fannie is in her element. Her position as librarian gives her a decided advantage over us poor students who have to ransack the whole book shelf before we can find a book. (Or read reviews of books, or take the final step of borrowing someone else's book report.) Anyhow, we learn, after she has said anything, that she is accurate.

BARNETT, BERNARD (Bernie)
Forbes

Hobby-Girls
Dramatic Club, Journalist Club, Treasurer-Tech Club, Chairman-Color Committee, Traffic Squad.

"A poor man rides in taxi, a rich man rides in a Stud..."

Gir-ruls, Bernie has a ca-ar! Yeh, a big Studebaker sedan. But that doesn't spell the secret of his popularity. Like Fatima cigarettes, "such popularity must be deserved." And he deserves it for his unfailing good humor and chivalrous conduct at all times.

BATTAGLIA, GRACE HENRIETTA (Grace)
St. Peters

Hobby-Singing
President-Home Economics Club (3, 4) Social Committee, Friendship Club (1, 2, 3, 4), Flower Committee

"Many a time and oft In the School you have soothed us."

There's music in the air when Grace is around. The beauty of her rich voice matches her dark, Southern, personal beauty. Did you ever see her without a smile? Even a Halleck test can't wipe it off.

BENNETT, HYMAN ZANVIL (Jack)
Forbes

Hobby-Basketball
Class Play, Dramatic Club-President, Naturalist Club, Math Club, Class Play Committee

"Our tables--meet it is we set it down, That one may smile and smile and be a ‘hero' At least we're sure it may be so in Fifth."

Hyman is known as the famous interpreter of "Smiling Through" Fifth Avenue High. He is a distinct asset to our class, for he is as earnest worker, a bright student, another of our type sharks and has a heart twice as big as his body. "Bid the players make haste!" says he, "Players that offer service."

BENSON, EDWARD MALCOLM (Eddie)
Avalon Junior High

Hobby-Reading
President—German Club, Vice President-Math Club, Reporter-Naturalist Club, President—Hy-Y Club, Chairman-Traffic Squad

" The warmth of general courtesy. The calm of self-reliance."

Take a lot of brains plus a handsome appearance plus oodles of school spirit minus a tendency to have his little joke and you have our Eddie. Hazelwood suffered an irreparable loss recently—Eddie moved. He is also, we might add, an expert Naturalist and knows those long names like—"anthromongilistics."

-12-

BERGEN, EUGENE E. (Flaming Youth)
Hanock

Hobby-Reading
French Club, Traffic Squad

" Books that you may carry to the fire, and hold readily in your hand, are the most useful after all."

Eugene spends most of his time doing two things Reading books (good ones and otherwise) and receiving the adoration of what is sometimes jokingly referred to as the "Fair Sex" Rumor has it that he gets a new library card every week. He probably will dazzle when he goes out into this wide world.

BERNFELD, EVA (Eva)
Rose

Hobby-Reading
Secretary—Dramatic Club, Senatrix, Class Book Committee, Student Government

"A perfect woman, nobly planned. To warn, to conquer and command."

In these days, when everyone blows his own horn, a girl like Eva is not appreciated to the fullest extent. It's a privilege to be a classmate of a girl with a brain like hers with a noble heart like hers and with a fine character like hers. Eva is a journalist of repute.

BERNSTEIN, JACK H. (Yunk)
Letsche

Hobby--Any Sport
President--Naturalist Club, Business Committee, Dramatic Club, Sporting Editor—"Newsette"
Stage Manager

"Thou hadst a voice whose sound was like the sea."

Jack takes his place among the famous men of Fifth. He is the onlu human siren, the only human train whistle and the only human bass drum. As a biologist he ranks with Darwin, Spencer and Bryson. But he also has the reputation of being the most kindhearted, pesky fellow in the class. When it comes to chewing-gum and lies Jack is right on the spot and he is very generous with both.

BLUESTON, LEON ISRAEL Leon Israel (Sulla)
Moorhead

Hobby--Dramatics
National Honor Society, Chariman--Reception Committee, Chairman--Class Motto Committee, Secretary—Math Club, Reporter—Dramatic Club.

"In the house of a fiddler all fiddle."

"What sort of chap is Leon to camp out with?" you ask. And we answer "He's one of those fellows who always takes down a mandolin about the time somebody has to get busy with the frying pan." "Sulla" (this characteristic appellation was applied to him by Miss Simmens) still is a bright star in civics. He shines in drama, because he has a voice whose sound is like the squeel of a mouse. Yet between ourselves we feel that here is a rare character.

BORELLA, CHARLES JOSEPH (Goldie)
Hancock

Hobby-----Radio Making
Vice President-----Spanish Club {4} {2, 3}. Hi-Y Club, Football, Volley Ball, Color Committee,

"Station WEAF: 8:30----Goldie and Dusty from Fifth Avenue High."

Ladies and gentlemen allow us to present "Goldie" of the famous Fifth Avenue Team of "Goldie and Dusty" spreading sunshine and cheer is his force. One half of the original Siamese twins. The other half is on page 29.

BROCHSTEIN, SAM S. (Shim)
(T. A.) (N. Y. City)

Hobby----Reading History
Traffic Squad, Leaders Club, Volley Ball, Baseball, Basketball.

" A handful of common sense is worth a bushel of learning"

Sam is our illustrious historian. "School might be all right if history were its only subject." says he. He ought to copyright the effervescences of his humor that we are treated to daily during our classes. For that reason we like him. Perhaps he may some day become dispenser of gloom like Will Rogers.

BROOKNER, ESTHER (Ettie)
Miller

Hobby--Singing
Dramatic Club, Friendship Club, Traffic Squad. Office Committee, Textile Club

"She sang in tunes so haunting they almost made us cry."

Esther is our class melody "crooner" and dancer extraordinary at our socials. Sophie Tucker's protege–we don't hesitate to say this—is a whale in civics! (She swallows all subjects and keeps them there.) A great pal. A sympathetic friend to those in trouble. Who could ask for more?

CACOLICE, LAWRENCE (Elsie) (Lottie)
Forbes

Hobby----Girls
Tech Club, Condition of Halls Committee, Senator.

"Let us live and love."

Lawrence says " Clothes make the man" Of course every one is entitled to his own opinion. And since he always has a bevy of fair maidens around him there is no doubt that he has many sympathizers for his radical point of view. He has a magnanimous repertoire of stories that exercise one's imagination, it is said. He clips them from a book called " Phiz-Clang." Nevertheless, our "Elsie" is popular.

-14-

CAGER, RUTH ELIZABETH (Ruthie)
Jr. Highland Avenue

Hobby----None
Homemakers Club, Friendship Club

"Silence that spake and eloquence of eyes"

Ruth is a quiet, shy girl reserved until you know her when it turns out that she's just full of fun as the liveliest bunch. In school she is noted for her heart of gold, and yet she finds time to work at her lessons.

CAREY, HAZEL (Shiksie) (Kitzie)
Epiphany School

Hobby-----Making Friends
Social Committee, French Club, Dramatic Club, Friendship Club, Traffic Squad

"He that wants Hazel, Freda, and Katz is without three good friends."

As a traffic cop in Fifth Hazel surpasses them all. Even Mr. Story tells her so. And Seniors, she certainly can ask questions in Music! Don't lose faith, fellows—she knows just when to ask these questions—because she knows what's what in school and out, especially out.

CATAIO, CARL (Flashy)
Hancock

Hobby----Athletics
Football-----Capt. (4), Baseball, Basketball, Track.

"Give him the cup"

"I am the best of them!" And Carl has proved this in our school athletics. Records he has broken galore. Besides being an athlete he is always in good humor and is a good student. He will never be forgotten. As an athletic director no doubt his fame will be the same.

CAZEN, FREDA (Fritzi)
Franklin

Hobby-----Acting
Textile Club, Social Committee, Office Committee, Class Book Committee, Reception Committee.

" O, Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?"

Every boy's heart goes pitty-pat when "Fritz" gives him one of her famous "ear to ear" smiles and look from those soulful eyes. She's one of the few who has brains as well as good looks. And can she act? Shades of Sarah Bernhart, how that girl can act!

-15-

COHEN, FANNIE (Faye)
McKelvy

Hobby - Dancing
Student Government - (1,2), Homemakers Club, Friendship Club, Flower
Committee, Textile Club.

"Bless you, my fortunate lady!"

Fanny is sweet and quite petite. (Poetry, we assure you!) O Boy, how she can dance! Best stepper in Fifth. Although they say her work is done at the last minute, doubtless she always manages to get through. Her personal attractions are sufficient to assure her a huge number of budding young shieks in the future. And, ye gods! isn't that enough?

COHEN, MILDRED (Mil)
Forbes

Hobby - Sewing
Class Play, Newsette, Student Government, Manager - Volley Ball Team,
Class Book Committee.

"The lady of our hearts."

Mildred is exceptional in both athletics and studies. We have seen her often win volley ball game herself. And above everything else, she has that influence that we call "good."

COHEN, MORRIS (Mashie)
Forbes

Hobby - Baseball
Social Committee, Journalist Club, Health Club, Tech Club

"Happy am I, from care I'm free; Why aren't they all
contented like me?"

Some boys are popular with the girls, some with the boys, but "Mashie is liked by all. His almost Southern drawl, his witty sayings, his dancing feet, make him indispensable at socials and parties. He is noted in Fifth for the wonderful health addresses he has made in the Health Club.

COHEN, REUBEN (Ruby)

Franklin

Hobby - Speaking
Journalist Club, Traffic Squad, Senator (1), Motto and Halls Committee.

"A friend in need, is a friend indeed."

We wish to take this opportunity to thank Ruby for the precious time he has taken up in Civics by talking. Not that we wanted to miss any of it, oh no, but - Miss Simmens had something more important to impart to us - and, of course, she is more interesting.

-16-

COLANGELO, AIDA ISABEL (Edie)
Hancock

Hobby - Playing Piano
Friendship Club, Home Economics Club, Class Motto Committee,
Representative Friendship Club (3, 4).

"A noble type of good heroic womanhood."

Aida does her work faithfully and never complains. Although quiet and sincere, we have often seen her wear a large smile over her countenance. We wonder how the Friendship Club is going to continue after her graduation! Happy and good natured are characteristics of her, her friends say.

COLOSIMO, LORENZO SAVERIO (Ceasar)
Franklin

Hobby - Playing Violin
French Club.

"The man who has not been in Italy is always conscious of an inferiority."

Lorenzo is an Italian from the top of his toes to the bottom his head. (Excuse us, we mixed that sentence up a little.) A quiet lad, who, once you open his shell, discloses qualities of a sincere friend.

CONNORS, GEORGE, (Lightning)
Hazelwood

Hobby - Baseball

"The ceiling is a better place to gaze upon than the floor."

Shy, modest and quiet in the classroom, but a humdinger on the ball field. What will the Coaches do without this stalwart? George is also noted for the magnificent posture which he takes every time he is called upon to speak - he squirms around the front seat, looks at the students, and finally settles himself to speak with his head high in the air, like a martyr.

DAVIDSON, FRANCES (Fran)
Franklin

Hobby - Gum
Traffic Squad, Dramatic Club, Leader's Club.

"You must run to win the race."

Frances is class, and plays the fame - that is all ye know in Fifth, and all ye need to know. But outside of that, those who know her intimately say that she is a good old sport - attractive and popular - and - er - occasionally she doesn't mind studying.

-17-

DAVIDSON, ROSE IRENE (Rosie O'Grady)
Moorhead

Hobby - Athletics
Friendship Club, Textile Club, Health Club, Home Economics Club

"To those who know her best, a friend most hearty."

A helping hand to all - that's our Rose. Classy in and out of school, she has the faculty of retaining friendships. The teachers like her because she's intelligent and studious (?) and enthusiastic - a comforting Sunbeam!

DEAKTER, MAX (Fly)
Moorhead

Hobby - Eating Pie
Naturalist Club, Attendance Committee, Chorus, Color Committee, Dramatic Club

"We warrant him whole-hearted."

"Fly" is one of the best pie eaters that ever graced the halls of Fifth. Watch him in the bakery (advt.) after school. Otherwise he is an exceedingly clever fellow with an unholy bent for all forms of math (he eats it with bread). A friend to tie yourself to.

FINEMAN, JEANNETTE (Peppy)
Franklin

Hobby - Dancing
Social Chairman of Class, Class Play Committee, Friendship Club.

"Praise Ginette, from whom all socials flow."

When it's the right time for play Peppy can be found releasing some of her boundless vim and vitality. But when there's work to be done, she's Johnny-on-the-spot creating perfect socials. Did you ever hear her explaining why we don't have more socials?

FISHER, FRANCIS C. (Fran)
St. Stephens

Hobby - Working on an automobile
Tech Club Reporter.

"I dare do all that may become a man, Who dares more is none."

There are none who dare more than the "Fighting Irishman" from Hazlewood. Alas, that famous breed is dying out. But we are glad that Francis is still in Fifth to uphold the glory of that community. We are also fortunate in knowing that Fisher is Pittsburgh's famous politician booster and that he may some day, if he doesn't watch his step, find himself in the House of Representatives.

-18-

FISHMAN, ROSE RAY (Fishy)
Miller

Hobby - Dancing
Homemakers Club, Friendship Club, Dramatic Club, Flower Committee,
Friendship Representative.

"Can any mortal mixture of earth's mold, Breathe such divine, enchanting ravishment?"

And Rose is ravishing. What wouldn't an artist do to paint her portrait! Do you hear a giggle? - that's Rose. She can giggle longer than any two other persons combined. Last week she broke the interscholastic record by giggling six minutes and forty-five and a half seconds.

FRANK, ELEANOR (Jne)
Somers

Hobby - Dancing
Class Play, Class Book Committee, Reporter - Friendship Club, President
- Naturalist Club, Student Government (3).

"For her acts so much applauded."

Eleanor awoke and found herself famous one day - day after she played "Mrs. Poskett" in the Class Play. Did you ever hear of a woman Huxley? Well, here's one. She knows the Mendelian Theory like a book. As for her dancing - say, she can't be defeated! Her famous reading, "The One Legged Goose," still lingers in our memory like our a-b-c's. Excellent as a poet, observant as a Pepys, and ultramodern in dress, she has left a sweet remembrance with us.

FREDIANI, VICTOR (Vic)
Hancock

Hobby - Printing
Math Club, Naturalist Club, Class Motto Committee, Traffic Squad, Secretary - Hi-Y Club.

"Thou art a merry fellow and Carest for nothing."

Here's a little fellow who is one of the best chalk and eraser throwers in the whole school. Statistics show that he gets his man four out of every five times. We'll put him up against any one in the school, bar none. Falstaff, you know, has nothing on him.

GEINZIER, PAUL JAMES (Paul)
St. Brigid's

Hobby - Books
Math Club

"Character is higher than intellect."

However, Paul seems to be gifted with both. As an English student he suffers no competition, for he can answer Mrs. Hamilton's questions as no other can. "Arguments very seldom convince" seems to be his philosophy. His sincerity, nevertheless, convinces us that he is great in character, and that he has lofty ideals.

-19-

GELMAN, SAM (Greaser)
Miller

Hobby - Athletics
Basketball, Baseball, President - Leaders Club.

"Would that we could play as thee."

Shute to de besket!" is a trite expression to Sam, because basketball is second nature to him. Baseball too has given glory to him. The gym is not the gym without him. Of course he studies (ly); dunt esk!

GLASS, SARA ROSE (Sone)
Franklin

Hobby - Singing
National Honor Society, Student Government (2, 3, 4), Newsette Staff, Class Book Committee, Dramatic Club, Chairman - Flower Committee.

"O thou art fairer than the evening air, Clad in the beauty of a thousand stars."

Sone is popular in Fifth for many reasons. She is a bright student. She has undertaken many difficult problems and succeeded in conquering them. And they say she has a wonderful voice. Most of us have never heard her sing, but we hope we will some time in the future. Her smile is contagious. She is personality plus brains. Fellows, here's your chance for a good house-holder.

GOLDBERG, JOSEPH FRED (Josh) (Yossel)
Franklin

Hobby - Photography

"He just won't have in wisecracks."

Joe is our human broadcaster. We doubt whether he knows what he's talking about, but that may be due to his words and thoughts passing over our heads. Ever on the alert with his camera, ever popular with the girls, and ever concocting witty epigrams, "Josh" has registered himself in our list of "Great Fifth-Avenueites."

GOLDBERG, THEODORE (Ted)
Forbes

Hobby - Dancing
Business Reporter, Dramatic Club, Traffic Squad, Social Committee, Flower Committee.

"As good to be out of the world as out of Fashion."

If you want to know the latest style for men, look at Teddy. He may be quiet in school but can he step outside! He's a bear with the women, isn't he, girls? And his ties can be heard a mile away.

-20-

GORDON, ABE (Allen)
Rose

Hobby - Basketball
President - National Honor Society, President - Math Club, President -
Journalist Club, Vice President - Class, Debating Team - 4, Commencement Speaker.

"And bears his blushing honours thick upon him."

Ladies and gentlemen, allow us upon this occasion to present a very distinguished student of our class. Abe excels in Math; sparkles in debating; and is eminent in general intelligence. He loves socials and girls. He is known to have ridden a girl home the night of April 29, upon which night our class held a social. In addition to all things enumerated, he plays stellar basketball, and he is a member of "the Big Four."

GREENBERG, MATILDA MAE (Tillie)
Moorhead

Hobby - Talking
Dramatic Club, Homemakers Club, Friendship Club, Textile Club

"Oh, you flavor everything, You are the vanilla of society."

Tillie is incessantly talking and when she's not talking, she's chattering. Her boyish bob is the envy of all the girls with long hair. They say she is bright and polite. We wonder!

GREIZMAN, BERTHA (Bert)
Forbes

Hobby - Typing
Friendship Club, Textile Club

"The maid who modestly conceals Her beauties, while she hides, reveals."

Bertha is hardly seen by us. Quiet, modest, and shy she is in that class of people who think that it is better to say nothing than to say something that is wrong. She is an expert typist. Those papers that were hanging on the wire in 2009 were perfect papers. Yes, Bertha had a few up there every time we looked. Now that's some record!

GROSS, ALBERT (Hilly)
Letsche

Hobby - Basketball
Dramatic Club, Gym Team, Basketball (4)

"A streak of lighting on the basketball floor."

"Hilly" is athletically inclined. Also womanly inclined. He'll do the hardest task and climb the highest hill to reach success. We wonder why everyone likes him and he likes everyone. Maybe it's because he's so handsome and kind and good.

-21-

HARRIS, CLARE (Clare)
Watt

Hobby - Music
Friendship Club, Health Club, Dramatic Club, Naturalist Club, Chorus.

"What harmony is this? My good friends, hark!"

"Clare" gives one the impression that she is quiet and modest. But we who know her well are certain that she is in a special class. Who has not heard her sing? Who has not heard her pound the typewriter? And who has not had a sympathetic pal in Clara? (No answer.) The decision is in her favor.

HARRIS, BENJAMIN (Ben Har)
McKelvy

Hobby - Artist and Humorist
Vice President - Tech Club, Class Book Committee, Student Co-operative Government (4)

"Art is power."

A humorist par excellence, a superb artist, a wonderful friend, all these and more is our Ben Har. You've missed something if you've never seen the "414 Skwealer," the New York Times' only rival. It's a Ben Har publication.

HARRIS, MARGARET (Margy)
Miller

Hobby - Reading
Textile Club

"An affable and courteous lady."

Margaret is always happy and ever contented to be left alone at her work with no interruptions. She is very quiet, although sometimes so enthusiastic that she flares up to great heights. She is always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.

HIGHGATE, CLARA (Fish)
Rose

Hobby - None
Home Economics

"Quietly she does her work and knows not what it means to boast."

It's easy enough to make your influence felt by being loud and boisterous, but Clara has accomplished this feat by her quietness and lovability. She pursues her steady, sedate course, leaving her mark in whatever she undertakes.

-22-

HILLER, RUTH (Red)
Moorhead

Hobby - Reading
Leaders Club, Dramatic Club, Motto Committee.

"The teacher who can give her pupils pleasure in their work shall be crowned with laurels."

Ruth, although careless, does not lack brightness. She is a very keen student in English and Civics. As an exception to all "red heads," our Ruth has a great control of her temper. She is known to have read many books and to have even sacrificed her study for that purpose. To have known her is to have known a real friend.

HINKES, HARRY R. (Hink)
McKelvy

Hobby - Music
National Honor Society, Pres.- Student Government, Debating Team, Debating Club, Journalist Club, Commencement Speaker.

"With hues of genius in his cheek, In finest tones that youth could speak."

"Hink" is a most brilliant student. As captain of our school's "Clean Up - Paint UP - Plant Up Campaign," he has also made his niche in Fifth. He can tickle the ivories, he can debate, he can write - Oh! What can't this fellow do? Yes, and he harmonizes at socials - and how!

HIRSCHFIELD, FREDA ETHEL (Fritz Patrick)
Moorhead

Hobby - Yes!
Treasurer - Friendship Club, Senator (4) Leaders Club, Teachers Substitute Committee, Flower Committee.

"True friends are great riches."

Freda must have been vaccinated with a phonograph needle for her tongue is continually wagging at both ends. If you want to hear the latest jokes, latest news, and latest styles, ask Freda. "A different dress for
every day," is her motto.

HOFFMAN, BEN (Hoffey)
Moorhead

Hobby - Wood Work
Journalist Club, Dramatic, Traffic Squad, Class Book Committee, Reception Committee.

"Men are judged not by their intentions, but by the results of their actions."

Although Quiet and reserved, Ben cuts a swath in the English class. Did you ever see him run around with the Journalist Club program? Well, you missed a treat that we have enjoyed in the past semester. "Hoffey" is very learned in the ways of styles, clothes, and other things, because he lives around a tailor store. He has a promising future as he is not afraid of that thing called "work."

-23-

HOLMES, GRACE ISABEL (Giggles)
Moorhead

Hobby - Reading
Spanish Club (3, 4), Friendship Club (3, 4)

"Her eyes are homes of silent prayer."

A girl who quietly wends her way, and does her duty, day by day. Although she's very quiet in class, a faithful student is that lass, knowing quite enough to pass. Her motto seems to be "slow and steady wins the race," for she doesn't make much fuss, she accomplishes much.

HORVIZ, BEN (Hungry Ben) (Dope)
Moorhead

Hobby - Getting Ads
Chairman - Office Committee, Debating Club, Dramatic Club, Journalist Club, Business Manager of "Life."

"And torture one poor word ten thousand ways."

"Hungry Ben," the man who eats in the wrong lunch period, is here. He can talk on any subject without knowing anything about it. "Considerably few" people can compare with him in selling ads, talking with girls, reciting and anything else you can mention. We are singularly unobservant in noting every action which this particular fellow does, but, what we do know, we hope, is sufficient.

IZZO, MICHAEL (Mike)
Hobby - Looking through the world through rose colored glasses.
Debating Club, Journalist Club, Debating Team.

"The man who dreams."

An excellent debater, is Michael. We expect to see the District Attorney looking for Michael when he graduates. He makes the honor roll often, we notice.

JACOBSON, MILTON (Mole)
Forbes

Hobby - Mechanical Work
Traffic Squad (1, 4), Dramatic Club.

"I've done my duty, and I've done no more."

Milton, the poker face lad, plods on without a question. He's a hero, anyway. For he's the one fine exception that proves the rule. Never excited, never unprepared - but isn't that enough?

-24-

JONES, MYRTLE MARGARET (Blondie)
Miller

Hobby - Gossiping
Friendship Club (2, 3, 4), Delphian Dramatic Club (2, 3, 4), Home-makers Club (4), Leader's Club (2), and Textile Club (2).

"Oh, Golden Locks!" "Is she not passing fair?"

Strange as it may seem, nevertheless, it is a fact that Myrtle makes the typewriter talk! When we watch her in 208 or 209 doing her stuff - Mr. Hossfield, just go look for another job, that's all. She is shy and demure at times. But we know better, "Blondie!"

KAIL, GEORGE FRANCIS (Curly)
Epiphany

Hobby - None
French Club

"Architecture is frozen music."

George is a quiet, unassuming chap, well-known for his curly hair. Although he isn't heard in class he knows his lessons. Hint to prospective brides - George is an architect - his specialty is building honeymoon bungalows. Now girls, don't push!

KALSON, HARRY (Kelly)
Miller

Hobby - Basketball
Treasurer - Naturalist Club, Attendance Committee.

"If silence were golden, I'd be a millionaire."

We know Harry for his quietness and for his ability to make friends. And you ought to see him on a basketball floor - he's a whirlwind. Did someone say that he saw Harry talking with a girl? We don't believe it.

KAPLAN, SAUL (Solly)
Franklin

Hobby - Filibustering
President of Class, Debating Team, Student Government, Dramatic Club, Journalist Club, Commencement Speaker.

"And a little child shall lead them."

All hail, our president! May we live to see him in the sacred hall of the Senate. His personality shines out like a beacon light, and, coupled with his brilliant and analytical mind, he stands like a lighthouse,
leading us through the twisting mazes of Seniorhood. And debate--!

-25-

KART, NATHAN (Kiddy)

Jefferson Street School, Portsmouth, Virginia

Hobby-- Playing Bridge

Chairman- - Office Committee, Senator, President Spanish Club, Business Committee Chairman, Business Manager- Newsette.

"If you want a date anytime, just call us up!"

"Beau Brummel's" only rival. The envy of the boys, the delight of the girls. Nate still has time to sell ads and "star" in English. Of course he plays the ukulele. If you want this fellow, look for F. C.

KASEN, JACOB (Earle Liederman)

Moorhead

Hobby--Athletics

Traffic Squad, French Club, Math Club, Library Committee.

"A kinder gentleman treads not the earth."

Jacob is an Earle Liederman exponent. Strength through the correspondence course, is his motto. Jacob likes to philosophize on deep subjects which we students are unable to comprehend. Deep, indeed.

KATZ, LOUIS (Pussycat Katz)

Miller

Hobby--Stamp Collecting

Class Book Committee--Art, Newsette--Humor Editor, Track, Volley Ball. Treasurer--Naturalist Club.

"Whatever art a man has learned, let him exercise himself in that art."

Right this way to the big show! He's here-- he's here today. Why, here comes Louis with his smile and art so gay. He's the only combination of a keen sense of humor and high ideals that we know of. He types like a flash. He zoologizes like a Darwin. And he's a darn nice fellow.

KIMBALL, JEROME H. (Jerry) (Nietszche)

Sommers

Hobby--Philosophy

French Club, Dramatic Club, Class Play.

"Many a philosopher is little honored till the future proves his inspiration."

Meet Jerry who philosophizes on philosophical philosophy. He hands out his advise freely-- it doesn't cost anything. His dry humor has always delighted us in our classes. English is simple to him. You know, just like that!

-26-

KLEIN, HAROLD HERBERT (Klein)

Miller

Hobby--Sleeping

Traffic Squad, Condition of Halls Committee, Class Play Committee, Dramatic Club.

"He speaketh not, and yet there lies A conversation in his eyes."

'S Funny-- he stutters in class, but when he's talking to girls. (when isn't he?) his words flow as smoothly as a brook. How do you account for this, Harold? He doesn't like to be annoyed when he is sleeping.

KODINSKY, MARY (Lou) (Mary Sunshine)

McKelvy

Hobby--Talking to the Boys

Vice President--Friendship Club, Secretary-- Home Economics Club, Senatrix, Motto Committee.

"Have you a little fairy in your home?"

"Who's this 'Mary Sunshine,'" they ask, "brightening up everything and chasing dull care away?" Ask any Senior, he'll tell you. Mary likes to smile and talk to the boys-- we don't know why. When she took a course in American History, she was excellent; but we don't know how much she remembers of it now.

KOPP, SYLVIA (Tzible)

Forbes

Hobby-- Writing Poetry

Friendship Club, Dramatic Club, Class Book Committee, Textile Club, Motto Committee.

"Serenity pleasant, calmly fair, Soft fell her words as she blew the air."

A sweet, unaffected, obliging little girl who can write poetry as if it were second nature. Anyone wishing to write in Senior girls' class books see her for original poems. (She writes them in her sleep.)

KORPA, ANDREW (Andy) Soho

Hobby-- Reading Scientific Articles

Baseball, Volleyball, Math Club, Hi-Y (1, 2, 3, 4)

"He drinks of the cup of Sport."

His thoughts are so profound and deep, that sometimes in class he seems to sleep. But when out with his friends he goes, his brighter view of life he shows. He is a fine reciter in English, and certainly can travel in Math and Physics, too.

LEFFLER, EDWARD (Gunga Din)

Wilkens

Hobby--Smiling

Naturalist Club, Student Government.

" Better late than never."

Eddie seems to believe in this adage; for it's a dark day when he comes early. "What's five minutes more or less in my young life," says Eddie. His sparkling wit and pleasing personality have endeared him to all.

LEWIS, FRANK (Red)

Forbes

Hobby--Woodwork

Condition of Halls.

"Those friends thou hast and their adoption tried. Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel."

Frank is always ready to help someone else. Even at the expense of himself. Frank will always be remembered for the one he "pulled" in History. "What happened next?" said Miss Simmens, discussing yesterday's lesson. "Then the bell rang," came back the sly remark of this sly lad.

LEVIN, MEYER (Puggy)

Forbes

Hobby-- To go around the merry-go-round.

"Brevity is the soul of wit."

"Puggy" is small. Ergo, "Puggy" is the soul of wit. But he makes up for his small stature in the volume of his voice. Did you ever hear him bring the roof down when he leads the school in cheers? Don't say you didn't! No! You can't say it!

LEVINE, ROSE (Red)

Miller

Hobby--Dancing

Class Play Committee, Homemakers Club, Friendship Club, Dramatic Club.

"Sweet auburn, loveliest hair of this girl!"

Rose's "auburn" hair is the light that draws the opposite (in) sex toward her. She has the cutest dimple, which is always showing, for she's constantly giggling. Did you ever hear her at the Dramatic Club? O, boy!

-28-

LEVY, LEONARD (Red)

Hobby--Saxophone Playing

Business Reporter

"Toot! Toot!"

"Red" certainly can play that saxophone masterfully. In a few years he may take Rudy Wiedoft's place as the premier of saxophoners. Besides these musical faculties, he has a fine sense of humor and a remarkable love (?) for nite-work.

MADISON, MARY (Mary)

Moorhead

Hobby--Making Candy Home Economics Club

"Show me a girl who can cook and I''ll show you a good wife."

Mary is noted for her cooking. What would Miss McKee do without her? A gem of the culinary art, Mary makes dainty morsels fit to be set before a king. Mary is also a humdinger at speaking. She arouses her hearers to a frenzy when she addresses them.

MAIZLISH, ISRAEL (Maizlish)

Grant School for Foreign Adults

Hobby-- Literature Chorus

"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

Meet our class philosopher. He once told us that "Spenser was a subjective poet and Chaucer was an objective poet." And we are inclined to feel that Isreal speaks the truth, because he reads much. Although he has been here but a short time, he has already adjusted himself to most of the school's work. His intimate friends say that he writes excellently. We know this for a fact, as he has written a few stories for the News.

MANNING, HARRIET (Harry)

Hancock

Hobby--None

French Club, Leaders Club, Dramatic Club, Student Government, Friendship Club.

"With womanly grace and dignity."

Harriet is the rock on which we all catch as we float by in the whirling eddy of life. Halleck is her delight. She lives to recite. (What, you don't believe it?) Well, it's true, anyway. She can act a good part, too.

-29-

MARCUS, BELROSE (Bell)

Forbes School

Hobby-- Cooking Reporter--Home Makers Club, Friendship Club.

"Oh, how that woman could cook!"

Sweet, modest, sincere and true, describes Belrose as we know her. She is so quiet that she seldom divulges her thoughts. She is so quiet, in fact, that the class unanimously agreed upon it. She shines, however, in piano playing, and in the ranks of those who speak little and say much.

MARTINO, THOMAS (Tommy)

Forbes

Hobby-- Architectural Drafting Traffic Squad (1, 2), Spanish Club(1, 2)

"--The sailor speaks of winds, the ploughman speaks of oxen; the soldier tells his wounds, the shepherd his sheep, and he of his architecture."

A wonderful fox-trotter at our dances and socials, Tommy is known for his pleasing personality and for his agility in moving through the halls of Fifth. He just loves to do his lessons! Ask him. But, "he's a man for a 'that and a' that," and he will be remembered as our "Greek" professor.

McELROY, WILLIAM CAREY (Dusty)

Letsche

Hobby--Radio Senator (1, 2), Baseball, Football, Volleyball (3)--Captain (4), Spanish Club (3, 4)--Treasurer (4)

"Ah! Sh-h-h!! I have China!"

Continued from another page. Bill is the other half of the "Goldy and Dusty" Duo. Damon and Pythias must have gotten their idea from them. Everyone likes Bill for his omnipresent sunniness, his athletic ability, and his friendliness.

MILLER, BEATRICE L. (Bea)

Moorehead

Hobby-- Singing Friendship Club, German Club, Dramatic Club.

"Music is well said to be the speech of Angels."

"Bea" is plump and fair, the charming possessor of a voice that is rare. In singing and acting she shows great skill; in fact, she's a girl most versatile. And her friends (she has many), all say she's so dear, because she's loyal, hard-working, sincere.

-30-

MOHLER, HAEOLD (Mohler)

Hazelwood

Hobby--Scarlet Fever Math Club, Football.

"A hit, a very palpable hit."

Harold, from Hazelwood where the trains run around, is known as a exceptional athlete and a brillant scholar. He is always happy and has the ability to make friends easily. We need look no farther than here for a fine fellow.

NALEPA, ARTHUR (Archie)

Avella

Hobby--Selling Lunch-room checks Hi-Y Club, Class Play Committee, Tech Club, Traffic Squad, Baseball.

"Five cents a paddle! We hold no paddles against you!"

Who doesn't know our erstwhile seller of lunch checks? It has been estimated that he has sold $199,099,009,000.00 worth of lunch checks over a period of four years. A fine, scholarly chap, worth his weight in lunch checks.

NATHAN, JACK X. (Zeno)

Moorhead

Hobby--Science, Photography

Chairman--Condition of Halls Committee, Vice President--Naturalist Club, Secretary--Tech Club.

"With too much quickness ever to be taught--With too much thinking to have common thought."

It can be said without hesitation that Jack has interested himself in more fields than any other member of our class. At one time he studied chemistry and dreamed of becoming a great chemist; later he formulated carefully laid plans for a gigantic corporation which, unfortunately for us, fell through. Among his other fields of investigation are physics, engineering, pharmacy, and photography (his latest).

O'CONNELL, THOMAS EDWARD (Tom)

St. Agnes School

Hobby--None

"Today's egg is better than tomorrow's hen."

The girls like Thomas to write in their memory books-- he has a beautiful handwriting. He's the "brass-tacks" type of fellow, he doesn't beat around the bush but comes to the crux of the question immediately. His technique in pouring cocoa in the lunchroom cannot be surprised.

-31-

PEARLSTEIN, ABE (Pearly)
Franklin

Hobby---Reading Hygiene Books
Class Play Committee, Traffic Squad (2).

"Deep versed in (hygiene) books."

Although late in starting, Abe is rapidly surpassing the more advanced students in the gentle art of woman-charming. In class, he works steadily if not slowly along, doing his daily work daily. He is an expert gymnast---when Coach Briggs is watching him.

POLLOCK, KATHERINE MARION (Kay)
Trenton---Jr. H.S.

Hobby---Singing
Friendship Club, Dramatic Club, Four Minute Squad (2), Traffic Squad (2), Home Economics Club.

"Oh, those eyes!"

A loyal Trentonian, she. We dinna ken if Trenton has anither like her. Her devilish eyes and sunshiny ways have made her liked by everyone. By the way, she has a beautiful voice.

REZNICK, LAWRENCE SOLOMON (Laishkee)
Franklin

Hobby---Helping my father in business
Traffic Squad (1,2,3), Treasurer--Tech Club, President--Tech Club (4), Student Government, Condition of Halls Committee.

"He'll sell you anything from needles to grand pianos."

"Laishkee" is one of those high-powered super-salesmen who can talk you into buying the Brooklyn Bridge. If that is not enough, he can also draw, converse with the "you-know-whos" and the what-not. He's a fine fellow, we tell you.

RICE, FRANCES (Fran)
Miller

Hobby---Reaping Honors
National Honor Society, "Cheer-Up" Committee--Chairman, Dramatic Club, Friendship Club--Secretary, Class Book Committee.

"Fair and brilliant is she? What a miracle, here!"

No one excels Frances in dress and typing. Added to that she is an honor student. Known to be a swell dancer she is invited to many parties. But in school her sunny disposition and her optimistic philosophy are predominant features of her character. She is popular among the students of Fifth and has helped a great many freshmen out of trouble.

-32-

RICKERT, WYNEMA (Why)
Friendship School

Hobby---Sewing
Friendship Club, Textile Club.

"A face with gladness overspread!

Soft smiles by human kindness bred!"
Wynema is just care-free and mischevious to most of her classmates, but a glance into her eyes makes one believe that after all she can think deeply and wisely. We do not wonder that she is popular in Fifth.

RIPP, JOSEPH (Yossel)
Moorhead

Hobby---Baseball
Class Treasurer, Senator (3,4), President--Dramatic Club, Business Committee, Spanish Club.

"Oh, My ducats!" "Today I speak on class dues...."

Aha! Joe Ripp! Our Class Treasurer! He is a wonderful actor, too. Always talking to someone--especially in civics. As a senator, he can't be beat. In giving out topics for home rooms and civics programs, he is practically outside the general run of chairmen. Yet he has a very grave fault--he loves the girls too much! Beware then, girls! He is a master at breaking hearts!

ROZBORIL, JOHN (Rozzy)
St. Stephens

Hobby---Photography

"A bright particular star."

Another Hazelwood standby. His face is permanently wreathed in smiles. If you're a pessimist don't go near him--it's contagious. What he don't know about photography isn't worth knowing.

RUBEN, ABE (Abie)
Rose

Hobby---Pigeon Racing

"With an eye to see life's sunny side."

Frankness and straightforwardness are attributes of this gentleman. As he is an expert in type and English, we are proud of him. There may be many Rubens in the telephone directory, but this Ruben seems to stand out above the others. Now you tell one.

-33-

RUBEN, MAURICE (Moy)
Rose

Hobby---Accounting
Dramatic Club, Flower Committee.

"Look me over."

It's hard to tell Maurice and Abe apart. The plan we use is: if we think it's Maurice, then we know it's Abe, and vice versa. Maurice is one of those fellows who make up the backbone of the class--steady, reliable and respected.

RYAVE, SAMUEL (Sammy)
Rose

Hobby---Gymnastics
Condition of Halls Committee, Traffic Squad, Manager--Volleyball, German Club, Leader's Club.

"Lawyers and woodpeckers have long bills."

Who's one of the smartest pupils in Fifth Avenue High? Who's a boy whom all the girls run after? Who's one of the best athletes Fifth Avenue has produced? The answer comes "not Sam Ryave." But he is a singer whom it is a pleasure to hear, and a friend equal to any.

SADOWSKY, MAURICE (Suds)
O'Hara

Hobby---Civic Topics
Football, Traffic Squad, Baseball.

"I am Sir Oracle, and when I open my lips let no dog bark!"

Maurice is a hard worker and a little shy. We always see him doing his accountancy, without which he is lost. We never see him blue or sad, because he evidently doesn't believe in it. His sturdy, manly bearing, and cheerful countenance have caused us many times to remark--"Ah, here's an orator of stentorian tones!" But how we were laboring under an hallucination.

$ALE$MAN, $AM ($am)
Adville Public School

Hobby---$elling Our Ads
$alesmanchip Club, Business Committee, Bath Club, Dramatic Club, Class Honorary Graduate, Deba$ing Team.

"Up spoke $am and got us out of a jam."

Folks, allow us at this auspicious moment to present $alesman $am, our adopted classmate. He is lucky to graduate with us, even though the letters of his name do begin with the Dollar Mark. $am has been the domination force in our class annual, the inspiration of our generous merchants, and last but not least he is entitled to matriculate at Wall $treet University.

-34-

SARASKY, EUGENE (Jupe)
Franklin

Hobby---Sports
Boys Leaders Clubs.

"They say he made a good end."

Eugene is a quiet lad, at least in class, for he's usually sleeping. In the woodshop no one can compare with him. He gets his A's because there is no higher mark. He tears up the basketball floor for the Penna Club.

SCHLESINGER, HARRY E. (Greek) (Sless)
E. Pittsburgh Public

Hobby---Driving
Secretary--Tech Club, Football, Asst, Manager--Football.

"He was a scholar, and a ripe and good one."

Harry has an infectious bit of hilarity which is his pride. He is a fellow who has the courage to stick to his opinions whether they are right or wrong. It is generally acknowledged, however, that "Sless" is one of June '27's main assets--athletically and scholarly.

SCHRIEB, HARRY AARON (Harry)
Franklin

Hobby---Thinking
Vice President--Dramatic Club, Senate (2,3,4), Debating Club, Chairman--Class Play Committee, Condition of Halls Committee.

"Don't disturb me, I'm thinking."

Harry is a person who thinks for himself--and it is surprising how many times he's right. However, he'll never concede that he's wrong, but will argue anyone over to his stand. He's a terror at bookkeeping--the only reason that he doesn't take Bookkeeping 9 and 10 is--there isn't any.

SCHULTZ, IRWIN JACOB (Dr. Sternroyd)
Forbes

Hobby--Mechanics
Vice President--Naturalist Club, Condition of Halls Committee, Tech Club, Class Play.

"Thou, though capable of sternest deed, Art kind as resolute, and good as brave."

Irwin makes Physics and Math eat out of his hand. But he's just as good in his other subjects. An ideal student, a jolly pal, purposeful--we ran out of compliments. He is the other lunchroom cocoa dispenser.

-35-

SCHWARTZ, ADOLPH A. (Orator)
Grant School

Hobby---Orating (!)
Dramatic Club, Math Club, Health Club, Traffic Squad, Attendance Committee.

"Come and trip it as you go, On the light fantastic toe."

Adolph (No. 1) is one of those fellows who is clever with his hands and feet. His nimble fingers draw all sorts of beautiful patterns on paper and his nimble feet draw all sorts of beautiful patterns on the dance floor. No social is complete without him.

SCHWARTZ, ADOLPH (Red)
Hazelwood

Hobby---Music
Secretary and Treasurer of the Boys Leaders Club, German Club, Football, Track (3,4), Flower Committee.

"Look, look, his hair--it stands on end!"

Another one of our "auburn" haired friends. Adolph (this is No. 2) may play left end on the football bench, but he plays center in our hearts. He likes to play in the orchestra, he likes to carry a big, big smile around with him, and strangest of all, he likes to study.

SEGALL, SARAH (Jimmy)
Franklin

Hobby---Swimming
President--Leaders Club, Secretary--Debating Club, Student Senate (3,4), Dramatic Club.

"My lady smiles and all is gay."

Although she isn't as husky as athletes are supposed to be, Sarah excels in sports. However, she's not decided whether she'll be another Gertrude Ederle or a Theda Bara, for there are few who can "emote" like her. She likes to argue in Civics.

SELZER, SAM (Sleeping Sammy)
McKelvy

Hobby---Sleeping
Glee Club, Dramatic Club, Class Play Committee.

"Far may we search before we find A heart so manly and so kind."

Sam's bow ties are the latest from Woolworth's. Sam seems to wear a perpetual grin on his face. We wonder what he's smiling about? Maybe it's about one of his many affairs with the (supposed to be) gentler sex. He can "go" in Civics.

-36-

SHANKER, BENJAMIN (Shank)
Franklin Hobby---Art
Spanish Club, Color Committee.

"His shrunk shank a world too wide."

Bennie is our class surprise. You never know what he is going to do next. He will make 25 per cent in one test one day, and make 100 per cent the next day. A golden student and a hard worker after school, he leaves a good impression with us.

SHAPIRO, HYMEN (Hiam)
Letsche

Hobby---Winning Intelligence Tests
Commencement Speaker, Editor-in-chief---Class Book, National Honor Society, President--Debating Club (4), Representative--Oratorical Contest, Pitt Academic Contest--First Prize, Vice-President Dramatic Club.

"What a piece of work is man!

"In apprehension how like a god" is Hymen. Gifted with a remarkably brilliant mind, he is undoubtedly unsurpassed as a versatile scholar. Coupled with his extraordinary ability is his great sense of humor. (That is what makes him laugh at tests). Indeed his cheerful manner, witty remarks in class and out, his knowledge of the world, prove him the paragon of scholars.

SHAPIRO, SARAH (Sally)
McKelvy

Hobby---Music
National Honor Society, President--Friendship Club, Dramatic Club, Class Book Committee, Textile Club.

"Oh, what learning is!"

Sarah seems to know what learning is, for she is certainly brainy. Just look at any honor roll. In addition to supporting all school and class activities, being a jewel on committees, and appreciating music instinctively, she knows her lessons thoroughly.

SILVERMAN, BEN E. (Smoky)
Forbes

Hobby---Accounting (?)
Traffic Squad (3,4), Flower Committee, Dramatic Club.

"Work has made me what I am. I never ate a bit of idle bread in my life."

Gaze upon Ben! Although he is a little shy, he's full of surprises, for we never know what he is next going to do. Basketball is his favorite athletic diversion, in which he practices "dodging"--a pastime also in his classes. Miss Simmens almost fainted a few days ago when he made an "A" in a civics test. These heart failures will never do, Ben!

-37-

SILVERMAN, DOROTHY (Dot)
Moorhead

Hobby---Sewing
Dramatic Club, Home Economics Club, Representative--Leaders Club, Flower Committee.

"Then she will talk, ye gods how she will talk!"

She's the nearest thing to perpetual motion yet invented; and did you ever notice such darling (girls, take notice!) little hats as she wears. Uh, huh, she makes 'em all herself. She loves socials and parties.

SILVERMAN, SIMON SYDNEY (Cy) (S.S.)
Watt

Hobby--Stamp Collecting
Color Committee.

"Loud bow-tie! Loveliest bow-tie of the Class!"

Did you notice that "Cy" is branching out as a "Don Juan" lately? He evidently believes that "all the world loves a lover." No girl can resist those new hand made bow-ties he struts around. S.S., now and then, turns up with an "A" in Civics Tests. You expected a philosopher beneath this rugged countenance--but we're lettin' you in on secrets. Sh!

SINGER, ESTHER (Essie)
Forbes

Hobby---Ice Skating
Health Club, Friendship Club, Home Textile Club, Red Cross Club.

"She moves like a goddess and looks like a queen."

Laughter and cheer run in Esther's wake, but she is not always so care-free as she seems. Her tastes, to our surprise, lie along domestic lines. Often we have seen her looking wise and saying nothing. She is the Health Club's most diligent worker. And the "S" in her name stand for Service.

SINGER, ISADORE FIRESTONE (Nat)
Moorhead

Hobby---Athletics
Basketball (2,3,4), Volleyball (3).

"The longest day soon comes to an end."

Nat is one of those who is not troubled by minor occurrences like tests, nightwork or any of the myriad other things that the ingenious teachers think up to plague us other unlucky mortals. Agile with the ball, Firestone plays a neat game on the field and on the floor.

-38-

SINGER, LOUIS (Lou)
Letsche

Hobby---Tennis
Office Committee, Class Book Committee, Festival Orchestra, School Orchestra.

"A second Kriesler!"

The only thing not like a musician about Louis is that his hair is not wildly waving. It looks like the orchestra will have to disband--Louis is leaving. "A violinist, a violinist, my kingdom for another violinist like Louis," shouts Mr. Demmler.

SINGER, PEARL (Purr)
Forbes

Hobby---Reading
Dramatic Club, Friendship Club, Homemakers Club, Class Book Committee, Traffic Squad.

"Still waters run deep."

Look deep into Pearl and you will discover a true friend, who will stick to you always. Liked by teachers, respected by her schoolmates, an ideal girl. There is a certain individuality about Pearl in Civics and English which we can't help but admire.

SLAVKIN, HYMEN (Slav)
Miller

Hobby---Track
Chairman--Ticket Committee, Traffic Squad, Halls Committee, Volley Ball.

"This is not the son of Achilles, but Achilles himself."

Hymen believes that "a man, like a watch, is to be valued for going." No doubt you will agree with this philosophy uttered by a student of profound learning! He, besides being an expert runner, is an expert biologist. He can dissect a worm or a beetle faster than any student in the school, and better, too. Without him, Zoology is a mere theory.

SOLOMON, HYMEN (Hymie)
Letsche

Hobby---Swimming
Cheer Up Committee, Four Minute Squad, Business Reporter, Ticket Committee, Stage Manager.

"He wears the rose of youth upon him."

Hymie deserves bushels of congratulations on his feat of graduating from high school in three years. With his "brilliantined" hair and "school-girl complexion", he is the most easily distinguished member of our class. He is known as the famous "Jim" of the class play.

-39-

STEINER, EMERY (Jimmy)
Forbes

Hobby--Basketball
German Club, Dramatic Club, Traffic Squad.

"Be wise; soar not too high to fall; but stoop to rise."

Emery and his smooth voice are well known around F.A.H.S. despite his quiet ways. His serious countenance merely serves to hide the wholesome fun which at intervals breaks out. His sterling worth is not hidden from teachers. He is an all-round good fellow and is exceedingly popular.

STONE, JACOB M. (Jack)
McKelvy

Hobby---Writing
National Honor Society, Editor-in-Chief--"Newsette", Class Reporter, Class Book Committee, Vice President--Journalist Club.

"Master! master! news, old news, and such news as you never heard of."

Jack and journalism sound alliterative. Maybe that's why Jack put out such excellent "Newsettes" this year. Brains, good humor, personality and character, spell the secret of his success. The news office is his domicile.

SUFRIN, BEN (Benjamin)
Moorhead

Hobby---Orating, Writing, Acting, Etc.
Editor-in-Chief of Class Book, National Honor Society, President--Debating Club (3), Editor of School News--"Newsette", President-- Health Club (3), Debating Team (3,4), Section Winner in National Oratorical Contest.

"Great success is promised you, In whatever you may do."

Now don't get excited--yes, this is Ben Sufrin. Ben believes that "actions speak louder than words." Versatility and a remarkable reasoning power are his gifts. Ben plays the harmonica over the radio, entertains at socials and private parties with recitations, boxes (he won the 118-lb. and 126-lb. amateur championships of Western Pennsylvania), takes part in theatrical productions, plays tennis and all kinds of ball, swims like a fish, works after school, dances masterfully, etc. But, above all, Ben is a man of letters and a thinker. His literary papers are replete with "pearls of wisdom."

TAPPER, EVELYN M. (Eva)
Soho

Hobby--Painting scarfs and kerchiefs.
Journalist Club, Color Committee, Traffic Squad.

"Say not that she did well or ill, Only say 'She did her best'. "

Eva is Doc Ogden's favorite pupil. When he calls the roll in his peculiar way, and calls out--"Eva the Tapp", we know right then and there that she is one of the select crowd. In civics she is marvelous. Indeed she is gifted with a brainy head. Known as a wonderful friend to all, she brings a ray of sunshine into our souls.

-40-

TOPEL, SADIE (Subway Sadie)
Moorhead

Hobby---Dancing
Dramatic Club, Friendship Club, Senatrix, Class Play Committee.

"I just love to write original verses!"

Sadie is not one of those "five foot two, eyes of blue" girls. She's just a regular girl with a heart as big as her body. She likes dancing, she says. Here's your chance, fellows. In addition to that, she is a marvelous student in civics.

WHITE, OVELLA PORTIA (Vell)
Moorhead

Hobby---Sewing and Music
Textile Club.

"You can't keep a good girl down."

And that's the reason Ovella is always on the top. Making her friends proud of her, she is bound to be a great lady. She is a great lover of music and movies.

WISHNEV, ABE (Al)
Miller

Hobby---Athletics
Traffic Squad (4), Vice President--Leader's Club, Flower Committee.

"As he was valiant we honor him: but, as he was ambitious we 'praise' him."

Silent Abe would be a very appropriate name for this curly-haired lad. Abe's reputation has been made since he was selected as the handsomest man of the class in his Junior year. He is one of those big, silent, handsome men you see in the movies.

WOLF, SAUL CARL (Swoof)
Sommers

Hobby---Art

"The rule of my life is to make business a pleasure and pleasure my business."

Saul's teachers have complimented him on the clean condition of his books. "They ought to be clean," says Saul, "I never open them." How do you account for those inspired recitations in English? Oh, that's his natural ability. By the way, he can sure draw a mean pencil.

-41-

YIMIN, LEO (Lee) (Pie Traynor)

Epiphany School

Hobby--Baseball, Football

"A hit, a very palpable hit!"

Irrepressible Leo like to shout out pithy comments on anything that said. He's an unusual combination of brain and brawn. His brain shows in Latin and his brawn shows on the baseball field where he makes "Pie" Traynor look apprehensively to his job.

YOUNG, DORA (Dorey)

Moorhead

Hobby--Playing Piano

Homemakers Club, Friendship club, Textile (3)

"Now then for soft music."

Dora is quite a dear. Mr. Demmler had a very valuable assistant in her. She always take snapshots and shows them to her friends. She is also adept as the piano. She knows her groceries as her father owns the famous Young store for Groceries on Center Avenue. A very sincere young lady, and a good friend to those who know her, she has a promising future as a secretary in the business world.

ZAVOSNICK, DOROTHY (Toody)

Franklin

Hobby-Athletics

Friendship Club (2), Homemakers Club, Leaders Club, Track (3), Life Saving Club.

"Dreams of doing good and does it."

Who always makes 100 per cent in tests in civics classes? Dorothy to be sure! A brilliant star in swimming. "Toody" is a bit reserved about her affairs, a bit proud, too, and mischievous. She herself is a sincere, steadfast friend.

ZERELSTEIN, ALICE (Elky)

Franklin

Hobby--Singing

Class Book Committee, German Club, Journalist Club, President-Homemakers Club.

"But the smiles that fill our hearts with sunshine, are the smiles that you gave to us."

A smile! An infectious giggle! Alice is there no doubt. A bit of sauciness, an irrespressible love for teasing, a never-failing optimism, and a love for action. Alice is a well-o-the-wisp. We can always depend on her to answer the hardest question in Civics. (?) She is versatile we must say.

-42-

ZWEIG, BLANCHE (Blumie)

Moorhead School

Hobby--Tennis

National Honor Society, Secretary of Class, Secretary--Journalist Club, Assistant Business Manager of "Newsette", School Reporter.

"With such a heart the mind fuses naturally."

"Blumie" is on of our best arguments in favor of the general pulchritude of our Senior girls. Oh, that smile! Small wonder why she is never waling without friends at her side. And yes, she recites, plays piano, and has the ability to take command of any difficult situation in which she is placed.
