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

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

'THE IRIS l Coughlin High School 1' sz fx: Senior Dance Committee l3l LEROY HURWITZ Lee Wilkes-Barre, Pa. I Lee claims Wilkes-Barre as his home town, but, after having sat in classes with him for three years, we firmly believe that his home must have been a bit nearer Missouri than Pennsy. Never before in all of our wanderings have we met a young man who could ask as many questions calculated to disconcert a prof., as Mrs. Hurwitz's little boy. Lee', took as much interest in the social as in the scholastic, for we never remember him passing up an evening's amusement. To our certain knowledge, he was present at every school dance, and that curly head surely did aid him in dragging a comely partner. Among Lee's accomplishments was the ukulele-however that won't count against him with us, but we strongly advise giving it a long rest when he opens his practice, if he wishes to keep his waiting-room filled.
