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

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

I Burt was the original iron man of the campus. He belonged to that group of P. S. C. O. athletes who covered the athletic field on every fair day, playing whatever game came to mind. Along with the development of a fine musculature, Burt developed a remarkable curl to his hair, and possibly this explains his weekly trips to West Philadelphia, and other places. Burt very ably supported the College orchestra, playing a mean trumpet. He enjoyed listen- ing to an orchestra, as well as playing in one. This recalls to mind the story of a blind date for a dance at a nearby women's college. The date turned out to be a rather corpulent young lady, and, quick to observe this, Burt greeted her with, Hello, Everybody. We never remember hearing how things progressed after that, but we do know that Burt gen- erally experienced no difficulty with the fairer sex. His three years at P. S. C. O. were characterized by a spirit of loyalty and' dependability, and we predict a happy existence in the practice of his chosen profession, in his home town. Seventy five
