O Harty came to school with a reputation as a swimmer and gave the student body many thrills as he clove the waters of the swimming pool grabbing off firsts in intramural meets. Harty went through his first two years of College in anticipation of the day when he would step into the Clinics as an interne. Here he soon gained fame as the developer of a new technique whereby near and distance phorias were taken at one and the same time. A real accomplishment if we are any judge of such things. Nat lvlur and Harty were inseparable during their three years of schooling here, making a team irresistible to the femmes of the City. Thus the pair grew to know Philly and its outlying districts as few of our classmates did. The class feels that this son of Newark, with a background such as he possesses, will ably carry on the name of Hartman in the optometric history of New jersey. Seventy-three

O ln introducing to the reader Harry Gross it should be clearly understood the list of activities under his name doesn't tell the whole story. Harry was one of the most active athletes in the class. He was sure to be among those gathered for a game of baseball, football or tennis. He was a strong supporter of his fraternity athletics. The reader should not assume from the above that there was no time in this young man's college life for the sterner things for he captured the honor land any Senior will agree that it is an honorl of being the first member of the Class of i934 to pass his Senior Oral Quiz. Harry , hailing from the world's playground, was not prone to brag about it and thus he managed to put those of us who hail from less important places at our ease. We feel certain that such a diplomat will go far. Seventy-two

HEFT Co-author Hail Optometry t2l HBCU, Honesdale, Pa. C When Bob Heft came to P. S. C. O. not only did he bring a fine spirit of leadership and co-operation but he brought a charming and vivacious wife who favored us with her re- markable ability at the piano. Bob and Mrs. Heft rendered the College one of the great- est services possible when they wrote the song Hail Optometry which is now the official song of our Alma Mater. At the end of his three years with us Bob piled up a very creditable set of grades which he certainly deserved for he applied himself well. Elected as skipper of the Class of l934 in our Senior Year, he took the helm and guided us to graduation in the style to which the class had grown accustomed. We feel certain that he will guide his own destiny as he did that of his class and in that same unassuming manner. Seventy four
