I After studying for two years at the University of Pennsylvania, Bill came to P. S. C. O. and cast his lot with l934 and we can't think of a more welcome member. l-lere was a friendly individual with a cheery greeting for everyone. Not only did this product of the Bay State excel in the scholastic but he was also some- thing of a vocalist. To be just a vocalist would satisfy most of us but not so in the case of Bill. He lead a male chorus made up of the more talented members of the class. Many an evening this gifted young man would mount a chair before his group and ably direct them. l-lis repertoire was endless and embraced almost every conceivable type of tuneful effort. To be sure, some of his numbers were strictly for dormitory use but most of them were quite suitable for a public audience. Any of his clinic associates will admit that Bill's success is assured if they will but re- call the perfect control he exercised upon his patients-especially the, ah, feminine ones.

'THE IRIS l Newark Preparatory School Cap and C-own Committee l3l HARRY ROSEN Harrison Belleville, N. I. I Should we reveal some of the characteristics of this most mysterious member of our class? Harrison came to us with the advent of the second semester of our Freshman Year and little did we know of him in advance. He came among us and was received at his face value. The value has never depreciated for he soon mingled with our group as though he had been among us from the beginning. Harrison formed one of the famous trio to be found in Room No. 26 during our junior Year and many and various are the tales told of that room. Oft thumpings issued from that room far into the night and might we add that it was not the thumping of a typewriter? This member of our class evaded dormitory life during his last year and his life during this time has become a dark mystery. One of the first in the building in the morning and one of the- last to leave at night. Whenever seeking Harrison one had only to look in the Seniors Lounge to find him indulging in his major sport, that of playing pinochle. Harrison dealt himself a hand in Optometry three years ago and we feel will continue to do so for many years to come. Philadelphia's loss and Belleville's gain. Ninety two

O Oscar is one of our more sophisticated contemporaries, not only because he is a son of Old Knickerbocker, but because he knows his way about Philadelphia equally well. Since his first days in town, he has graced many a mixed gathering and made a host of friends. His partially bald pate seems to have been anything but a handicap, according to his fra- ternity brethren. Aside from strictly scholastic matters, Oscar has been ever helpful about the school. His violin in the orchestra will be hard to replace. We, especially, will always remember Oscar as one who was ready to do a friend a great favorg such as rescuing a frat pin from an over-ambitious and designing female. Ninety-four
