Omega Delta News 133 Ass't Advertising Manager pThe Iris i3l RALPH BERKELEY LOPEZ Waterbury, Conn. I This diminutive and serious young man came unheralded to Philadelphia and Optometry in the year l93l. We have the secret opinion that there are those who date the beginning of things from that eventful year. It took Ralph some time to get acquainted about the school for he never forced friendship upon anyone. However, he did acquire multitudinous contacts about the City, thus placing himself first in the ranks of the young men about town. He was a member of the Beaver College Friday Evening Clubf' Ralph was considered the best dressed man on the Campus and, to our certain knowledge, was the only man to wear the English Drape which was the dernier cri in trousers just as his partners in frolic were the real McCoy in femi-- ninity. We hope and have every reason to believe that his practice will be as profitable as his activity in the Keystone State. Eighty-one

!I 'Tl-lElRlSl Norristown High School I' Q fi' Basketball lll Freshman Publication Committee i3l MORRIS LADOV HMUSH, Norristown, Pa. I Hailed as one of the strong men of the class lboth mentally and physicallyl Mush was known on and off as a defender of the weak. Whenever one of the smaller men was bru- tally attacked by Sharlip, a Hey Rube would bring Mush a-running, to deliver a lusty blow for life and liberty. But once in a while the tables would be reversed, with Sharlip the defender, and Ladov the aggressor. In future years, we do not wish to see this pugilistic rivalry' between the two strong men forgotten, and an annual bout between these two should be something to look forward to at future class reunions. Mush was the only man in the class with sufficient initiative to nick-name every one in the school, most of which have stuck throughout the course. We consider this quite an achievement. No doubt he will have pet names for all his instruments. Nurse, will you pass me 'Streaky' retinoscope? Punishing his chariot was his favorite pastime, and we may safely say that the Chev'f heaved a sigh of relief when it no longer had to make Philly by 2 bells, A. M. Put all your energy and wit into Optometry, Mush. Eighty mm r IL 1 va .ci 9 -lit ..,w,,.,7i,f- WM i- 41... fi-.i

'THE IRIS l South Philadelphia High School Cap and Gown Committee C37 IAY S. MANASHIL Manny Philadelphia, Pa. Here we have one of the real honest to goodness humorists of our class. His sure-fire patter was warranted to give the whole class many good laughs during the three years we spent together. C-ags were only a small portion of Manny's entertainment for his friends for he also rendered charming little ballads in the accepted Bing Crosby style. Sometime during his senior year he was interviewed with the idea of finding out what he would devote his matchless energy to in the years following graduation. He promptly ad- mitted-for indecision was never a characteristic of this little man-that he inteded to be a specialist. He would spend the major part of his time producing acute corneal ulcers on three six or nine base curves. lt seems impossible that an individual who is willing to tackle such a problem could possibly be a failure in life.
