To others this book is an intro- duction to our College To the Class of l935 this book will be in twenty years a priceless record of a happy and significant period. . Cofeienlit Scenic Administration Classes Clinics Activities Wu His good example has encouraged us to improve our clinical tech-- nique, and his penetrating ques- tions have inspired us to improve our knowledge. The Class of l935 respectfully and admiringly dedicates the fourteenth volume of The Iris to- DI2. S. WINFIELD SMITH Q0 Qfre Cfaaa of N235 s our student-instructor relationship draws to a close, you as a class will launch out into a sea of wonderfully rich and varied experi- ences. During the coming years most of you will be vitally in- terested in the many changes which are to come. The solutions to many of the problems with which you will be presented will -not be found in the libraries which you will build, nor in the text-books which you already possess. lt has been my earnest desire to instill into your individual minds the qualities and characteristics which will go far in the overcoming of the prob- lems which you as new practitioners in the field will meet. Only the years to come will demonstrate whether the lessons we strove to impart to you were properly learned and fully under- stood. Not too many years ago, l too, stood at the same thresh- hold at which you have arrived. Formal education became history and with this change came the opportunity to put into practice that vast array of knowledge which had been accumulating for most of my past life. ln this new era of your lives l believe you will find the greatest happiness which Cod has given to ma-n. My sincere hope is that you all may achieve that measure of success which makes for this -happiness. l am confident that the members of The Class of i935 will merit the honor and respect of the citizens of their respective communities. In closing this message it is appropriate that l offer you my left hand to the parting student, and with my right l wel- come you as a fellow practitioner. Nature and wisdom never are at strife. juvenal x X ' +V T1 T Q. QQg.g3i'M 'wr U in E All below is strength, and all above is grace.

The earliest pieces of Egyptian blown glass on record are dated from l6OO l3.C. Curious enough, the earliest piece was an eye of blue glass imitating turquoise . Nothing left by the Egyptians indicates that they made glass for optical purposes, but the skill with which they wrought glass objects is important. lt showed later artisans how the ma- terial could be applied to the construction of different objects. Consider also that the first eyeglasses were looked upon more as articles of curiosity and adornment than as instruments for visual improvement. ' The Egyptians attained rare achievements as glass cutters and edgers. lt is said that volcanic glass was first used. Ala- baster' vases were hollowed out with uncanny precision from solid blocks of glass. Hieroglyphics were skillfully cut or edged on glass vases- sometimes even on glass beads. The Egyptian glass was never cast but was worked as a pasty mass. The importance of Egyptian glass making to optics is that that ancient era developed a very fine type of clear crystal glass, as good as we now have, long before Phoenician traders carried the art into Western Europe, and made possible the making of lenses many gEl leI'aflOl'lS l3l'EI'. iCourtesy of Optical Journal and Review of Optomctryi Qfficers and Faculty THE 1935. IRIS Dr. lzitchls Message to the Class ol '35 lt is gratifying to view in retrospect the uniformly fine product leaving the Pennsylvania State College of Optometry each summerf You, the members of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-Five, uphold the ideals and aspirations the College strives to inculcate in its graduates. You have been unusually fortunate, being the first class to complete the course in the new location and improved surroundings of the College as it stands today. You have further had wide scope of opportunity in having perfected your optometrical technique in the most complete eye clinic in existence, the only one in which is covered the whole gamut of eye work in its special applications, such as the diagnosis and treatment of sub-normal vision cases. With the complete remodeling of the old Clinic, which was effected during your interneship, the acquiring of the most modern and complete equipment and apparatus for all phases of treatment of the human eye, together with the earnest application to study evinced by your Class, you should, and l believe you do, enter your professional field with a better back- ground and more chance for complete success than any who have preceded you. 'This clinical development demonstrates in a practical manner the great advancement which has come in recent years in all phases of our professional work, and in its scientific background. Ours is a profession which presents many facets of character, each of which has been clearer cut and better polished with the passing of the years, because of the zealous efforts of those who devote their wholehearted efforts toward its advancement. One note strikes clearly in your class individuality,-a highly satisfac- tory one-your complete accord with the ideals of ethical practice, and all that it evokes. 4 With natural reluctance l regard your departure, but with faith and deep sincerity say- Cod speed you.

Or it may be that he used a concave mirror, or a combination of plane mir- rors, for the same purpose. Whether this story is true or not, it shows that knowledge prevailed about lenses used as burning glassesl' and indicates that thought might have been given to the subject of refraction in very early times. Archimedes lived in 287 B, C. l-le appears to have been an inventor of instruments, mainly instruments of war. One of his great accomplishments was aiding King Ptolemy in the launch- ing of his warships. This legend is interesting also because of the fact that one of the first incidents connected w3th lenses depicts them as destructive instruments, instead of the highly beneficial in- struments they have become to relieve human suffering. Archimedes discovered the relation which a sphere bears to a cylinder. At his direction, a cylinder and a sphere were en- graved on his tombstone to commemorate his discovery of their relation. tCourtesy of Optical journal and Review of Optometryl R Senior Class 1 THE 1935 IRIS GEORGE M. MCENEANY H. IAMES LEWIS President Vice-President The Presidents Message lt is with mingled feelings of regret and pleasure that I write these last few words of farewell, sorrow for the passing of the happy association but with a sense of gratification that having been privileged to be President of this fine class it falls to my lot to address you. Our acquaintance in point of time seems short indeed, for the three years we spent together have gone so fleetly by that it seems like one, but in the light of actual accomplishment we know we have profitably spent the full quota. Lifetime friendships have been formed and cemented, and, most important of all, the course of our future lives, professionally speaking, has been determined. Little did we realize when first we entered the portals of this our Alma Mater the far reaching importance of the step. To most of us, fresh from the salad days of High School, entering a professional college seemed just another stepping stone. Stepping stone indeed, but to what potential heights it may well be, if we aspire nobly and go definitely about the business of carrying out our high aspirations. Always, while travelling the high road to success, when confronted by seemingly overpowering obstacles, we may turn to the beautiful example of our reverend Dean and respected members of the Faculty, who so painstakingly and ably laid foundation for our knowledge, and of our standards. There is no reason why we cannot make their ideals our own. l've enjoyed all the years of my association with the Pennsylvania State College of Opto- metry, but most interesting and absorbing has been this last, our Senior Year. You, fellow- members have been so cooperative and given me such spontaneous help that my work-if one may call it.that-has 'been comparatively simple. Every Class President realizes his ideal when his contemporaries give him full support, and we part on the happy note of harmony. Our Class has been the first to spend three years in the new and improved surroundings. We were indeed fortunate in having had so many advantages from the beginning, and now that we have attained our goal-successful completion of our preparation for professional Opto- metry-may we go on to prove intrinsic worth to our Dean and Faculty by conducting ourselves, and our practices, in truly ethical and professional fashion. Sadly, I realize this is the last time I shall have either a formal or informal message for you as fellow studentsg therefore, l entreat you to remember your friendships formed here, to cherish and foster them. Let us make a solemn pact-and keep it-to return to our Alma Mater for class re-unions, to renew happy contacts, and to revivify our hopes and aims in the life- giving atmosphere of our sanctum-Pennsylvania State College of Optometry. So, onward Class of '35 to service and gloryl 'The road undoubtedly will be rocky at times, but with stout hearts nothing shall deter us, and, to some of us, a modicum of fame may come, but, withal, our ideals and principles must ever be paramount.

Of the many pleasant memories of our school life, that of his dynamic personality will assuredly linger on' in the years to come when many will have faded away into the dimness of the past. Everyone claims to have a sense of humor, in fact, they say so themselves. But in joe we have, without a doubt, the wittiest member of our class. On many occasions his sparkling sallies provoked rounds of appreciative laughter among the students. However, notwithstanding the above, joe's scholastic aptitude far surpassed his ability to turn an amusing retort. His proficiency in various subjects was exceptional as is proved by the high grades he received. Unselfishly, on many occasions, he used his academic knowledge to help others. He was frequently seen in the midst of a group of students discussing with them complicated theories and the methods of application. Due to his popularity, through these sincere efforts, he was appointed Assistant Editor of this book, a position well merited. ln the clinic, loe's sympathetic understanding and obvious desire to help his patients, often caused them to come back and ask to be examined by him. He was a sincere friend, and we his confreres, join unanimously in wishing for him the full measure of success due his brilliant mind and his earnestness. 6 57 THE 1.935 IRIS Germantown High School Drexel Institute of Technology Cap and Gown Committee l3i Dance Committee l2l Secretary and Vice-President of Phi Theta Epsilon Fraternity ' l2l l3J HARRY T. BILLC-ER East Shawmont Avenue ROXBOROUGH, PENNA. Harry was often known as Hum to his close friends because of his habit of humming when in their company. This, coupled with an infectious laugh which seemed to begin at ,his toes and travel all the way up to explode in deep-throated merriment, served to make him one of the most popular and best known of P.S.C.O. students. Before entering college Harry was considered one of the best inter-scholastic pitchers. In fact, he was offered a try-out with Connie Mack, manager of Philadelphia'si contribution to the American League. But he chose a professional career'at which he has already made the grade. He did, however, give the benefit of his expert pitching ability to the baseball team of Phi Theta Epsilon Fraternity for whom he won many games in inter-fraternity contests. His athletic prowess did not interfere with his scholastic ability. At times 'he amazed his fellow students, and even the professors, by his detailed andaccurate answers to questions. lf the quality of his academic efforts is any indication of his future career, then he is assured of success.

BOXMAN l27O south 27th sneer PHILADELPHIA, PENNA. joe was one of the more reserved members of the Senior Class. It can well be said, He spoke little, but when he spoke, he said much. joe came to us from Southern High School, where he was captain of the soccer team. With his entrance into a professional institution, however, joe gave up his interests in sports to delve deeply into the study of his profession. Those who knew joe closely, among whom can be mentioned the trio of Gottlieb, Zevin, and Supowitz, realized that he had a firm character, tempered with moments of humor. His ability as a clinician have impressed many with the fact that he will be a successful prac- titioner, and a credit to the optometrical profession.

Fraternity 13, Unassuming, reserved, tactful and sociable. All this is john Bracken. john, like several others in the class of '35, spoke little, but when he did, he was assured of an audience. john, with his quiet manner, was an ideal scholar, ever seeking to broaden his scope of knowledge. His timely efforts in aiding students who were not so successful in analyzing the theoretical phases of the work, made for him many friends. His untiring efforts bore fruit in other fields as well. john, because of his capacities, was elected president of the Omega Delta Fraternity, and, from appearances, manoeuvred its mem- bers through its most successful year. As circulation manager of the Pupil, john received much praise, and the year 1935 saw a smoothly efficient circulation department. Not praise, not gain, but favorable results are the fruits of honest labor and good work. Surely, john can boast of favorable results, because he is regarded as one of the outstanding members of the class of '35, scholastically and socially.

BREITNER l5l Market Street PASSAIC, N. 1. Far be it from us to try to enumerate all of Ed's good qualities in such a small space, but his outstanding qualities are evident, and everyone who knows him is impressed by his frankness and honesty. Soon after his arrival from Passaic he established himself as one of the leaders in scholarship, and has maintained his high position ever since. He also gave his time freely to help those who were less proficient. Striving for good marks did not keep him from participating in the school's athletic activities. His effectiveness in baseball was well known. Ever in the thick of things, Ed was an active member of the O. D. E. fraternity, and held the office of secretary. We feel sure Ed. will have a natural aptitude for success as a practitioner in his chosen profession, as he comes from a long line of professional men, and he has the necessary reserve and sense of ethics which make for professionalism.

CAPUTO l2l3 South Main Avenue SCRANTON, PENNA. o Mike, without a doubt, was one of the most sociable and amiable young men in the Senior Class. Always well dressed, cheerful and considerate of others, he was able to boast of the companionship of every member of his class. His keen wit and humor never failed to bring a peal of laughter. Especially funny was his first psuedo-scientific hypothesis, namely, the use of the keratometer for treatment during a busy period in the clinics. There was, however, a more serious side to this young man's ambitions, and he spent many nights reading over optometric literature, Never failing to keep abreast of his study assignments, Mike, nevertheless, presented himself at all the school functions. When we look back, reminiscing over the personalities belonging to our college days, Michael's will certainly be Iimned against the background as a real friend and a staunch supporter of Optometry. THE 1935 IRIS Norwich Free Academy Freshman Publication Com- mittee lll Chancellor Gamma Omega Phi Fraternity l3l C. O. P. CHARLES Cl-IARRON I5 Rogers Street NEW LONDON, CONN. 0 Charlie came to P. S. C. O. with the intent to study his profession diligently and no one can say he did not fulfill his intentions. It was not an unusual occurrence to find Charlie and his diminutive room-mate burning the midnight-oil over some of his Optometric studies. Charlie found time 'for social and athletic interests along with his college work and could often be found on the baseball diamond where he made quite a name for himself as catcher. He was active in his fraternity and was elected Chancellor in his senior year and filled the office very efficiently and successfully. We think the gentle nature and quiet friendliness of this member of our class will be an asset to him in his practice and we can only wish him the best of success.

EMONS 6357 York Road PHILADELPHIA, PENNA. No one will regret more deeply than Earl the splitting-up of the class after graduation. Living close to the College, he shared in most of the pleasant associations of school life. During his three years of preparation he has stayed near the top of his classes, in scholarship. His chief interest has perhaps been A.C. and C.A., and everything tied up with them. 'He has often been the target for questions by classmates on these and other matters. One of his favorite diversions has been to present himself somewhere between West Orange lN. l.l and Merrick lL. l.l at least once in every three months, Earl is the Editor of our Year Book, the Iris of Nineteen Thirty-five. We rise,-figura- tively speaking,-as a Class, for a vote of thanks to him for his enthusiasm, and the great amount of labor he expended in bringing into being this literary panorama of our activities. And we must include in our salute the assisting editors, the business and advertising managers, the art editor, and all others in the class who have aided in producing this fine and inclusive record.

The ability to combine a keen sense of humor with innate dignity is a rare attainment in a man. ln a woman it is priceless. Anyone associated with Edla Fahlen during these past three years will bear witness to the fact that the above description fits well the tiny co-ed from Michigan. Edla can giggle one minute and become as sober of mien as the proverbial judge the next, and the change be no more startling than the stilling of a rippling brook as it flows into a serene and lovely lake. Not only is Edla a capable student and cliniciang her extra-curricular activities have marked her for keen responsibilities and endeavors in her chosen profession, and the com- munity in which she chooses to live. As class secretary during our junior and senior years she has served efficiently and well. She has also the distinction of being the first vice-president of Phi Beta Rho, the new sorority.

Broad Street PHILADELPHIA, PENNA. o After three years of delightful association with Rose, we all agree that she is a friend worth having. Her excellent scholastic record gave her a fine reputation as a student, but was overshadowed by her vivacity and her naive and charming capacity for blushing. Gifted with the happy faculty of being able easily to grasp and solve difficult problems, Rose could also hold the interest of an audience while she explained briefly and clearly the intricacies of a T. O. twister, or enlarged upon the details of Optometry. Rose is heart and soul in Optometry, and we predict for her a keen future in which she will be a bright star in the galaxy of prominent women Optometrists. THE 1935 IRIS Cheltenham Inter-Fraternity Council l2i Glee Club iii l2l Vice-President and Treasurer of Omicron Delta Epsilon l2i WILLIAM FELLMAN 2nd 7l8 Chelten Avenue PHILADELPHIA, PENNA. o Bill comes from an Optometric family and thus it was quite natural that he would pursue this profession. When Bill entered our Hall of Learning, he knew he had an extended period of hard work ahead of him. Displaying a commendable spirit, he was successful in coping with the assignments he undertook. His interests were many and varied. The National Guard of Pennsylvania attracted his attention and today he is a Second Lieutenant in this military organization. ln his first year at the school, Bill, and a few of his friends, founded the Omicron Delta Epsilon Fraternity. He was honored with the Vice-Presidency, and his never tiring efforts in behalf of this organization helped advance it to the prominent and respected position it occupies today. In the clinic Bill was well liked, and his ability to gain and hold the confidence of his patients was quite remarkable. We feel sure that Bill will do well, and that he will find that Optometry with its varied interests and associations will make for a fuller and happier existence. 67 THfEl 1935 IRIS Overbrook High School University of Pennsylvania- School of Industrial Arts Freshman Hop Committee ll l Senior Announcement Com- mittee l3l MORRIS ALVIN FIER 3Il South 58th Street PHILADELPHIA, PENNA. o Soft-spoken and unpretentious, Morris impressed his fellow students on certain occasions with demonstrations of his artistic ability. His etchings revealed a striking animation which he obtained by a few deft and subtle strokes of pen or crayon. His excellence in this direction was duly recognized and appreciated by all his associates and particularly by a member of the faculty of whom Morris made a two-tone portrait which decorated the IRIS of two years ago. His ability was not confined to the field of Art, as is evidenced by his scholastic pro- ficiency, He was one of the top-rank men throughout his school career. His favorite subjects were Trigonometry and T. O. ln his freshman year he amazed us, and the professor, by his originality in solving corollaries and problems. However, his curricular activities did not keep him from social diversions, as witnessed by the fact that he attended faithfully the dances and entertainments given by the class throughout the school year. We hope and believe firmly that, when Morris begins what will be a very ethical practise, he will be very successful. 5 l THE 1935 IRIS New Bedford High School Decoration Committee l3l Pupil Staff l2l l3l Glee Club lll l2l Omicron Delta Epsilon i l l MILTON j. C-ELLER 31 Ryan Street NEW BEDFORD, MASS. o lt would take a Sir james Barrie, a Lewis Carrol, a Segar, or some other master of whimsy to present an authentic and satisfactory characterization of joe Geller. One could never predict what the vagaries of joe's highly imaginative cerebrations would cause him to say. But when this native son of Massachusetts opened his mouth, it was the signal for all to listen attentively. Almost never did joe disappoint his listeners. His whimsical expressions caused many hearty laughs. loe's ability quickly to grasp the essentials of the various courses, permitted him to rank high in the class, with a minimum amount of effort on his part. Perhaps, from the above description, one not knowing Geller might consider him frivolous, and without a serious side. But this isn't so for he has been able to cultivate a certain reserve which is obvious in the graver moments of life. His extra-curricular activities were mainly fraternal. As an original member of Omicron Delta Epsilon, he was quite active first in bringing it into being and, later in furthering the interests of the fraternity in every possible way.

Like several other members of the Class of '35, Don came into the Senior Year after an unavoidable absence of one year from Pennsylvania State College of Optometry, and, like the others was warmly welcomed. Don, although quiet and reserved, was friendly with all his colleaguesg his was a serious turn of mind, and, coupled with that characteristic, his desire to be helpful made for him many close friends. When information on the mechanics of some instrument was wanted, Don would be sought out always, and if he wasn't able to supply the data immediately he would be able through his contacts, to obtain it for the inquirer. lt was a familiar sight to see Don C-ernet distributing pamphlets among his classmates. Without a doubt this graduate possesses the necessary qualities for personal success, and we feel sure that he will be diligent in using them fully for the welfare of his patients. THE I935 IRIS Simon Cratz High School Glee Club lll l2l jewish Students' Association SEYMOUR EUGENE COTTLIEB 4734 N.

It is rare to say of anyone, He knew the time and place for everything --yet Seymour was imbued with this spirit. While in the classroom, he proved an ideal student, intently following every word of the professor. In his leisure time, on the other hand, his mirthful moments were a constant source of amusement to his associates. His tolerance for the viewpoint of other students, his even temper, and his willingness to cooperate at all times, never failed to win him friends on all sides. The best of luck, Seymour, and may you show as good judgement in your future as you have done in the past. '70 THE-1935 IRIS 7l' Burnham High School Pupil Staff l3l BOYD H. HAMMAKER BURNHAM, PENNA. The name of Hammaker will always stand out in the annals of the Class ot '35. As a student not many surpassed himg as clinician he was quite outstanding: and as a iovial and friendly person he was the top. Boyd sought out a good movie, or turned in a feature radio program to gain his diversion while at school. But school was not his only interest at heart, Ibecause the writer of the letters he received daily needed some of his time and attention, and off he would go for a weekend. As a member of the Pupil Staff during his senior year he added greatly to the success of our publication. Advertising Manager of The lris l3l THE 1935 IRIS West Philadelphia High School R. LOWELL HENRY 49Ol Walton Avenue PHILADELPHIA, PENNA. Bob's host of friends bears mute testimony to the fact that he was one of the most popular students of the class. One does not have to go far to discover the reason for this. His con- geniality and the spontaneity of his humor made him well known to our class and to the student body in general. He was very often seen in the company of George next to whom he always sat in the lecture rooms. Outside of the class-rooms Bob was one of the Four Musketeers who rode with George to the clinic. His exhilarating presence was always appre- ciated on the many occasions he was with them. For his reliability and trustworthiness he was made advertising manager of this book. In this position his untiring efforts and perseverance in obtaining advertisers considerably lightened the financial burden of our class. At the clinics he was always ready to discuss a difficult problem or to devise a new method of approach in an unusual case. Bob's efforts will never be forgotten and we hope that his enterprise will stand him in good stead when he begins his professional career. THE 1935 IRIS Baldwin High School Class Treasurer lil Phi Theta Epsilon ROBERT L. jONES l33 N. Hewlett Avenue MERRICK, LONG ISLAND, N.'Y. Quietness and conservatism. Two of the most conspicuous characteristics of Bob , Only his intimates were fully aware of his amiability and good naturedness. He would do almost any- thing for a friend, and graciously. Bob's car was a means of transportation for himself and his friends to the Clinic, as well as' to the environs of New York. l-le went home often, and usually was accompanied by Linke, McEneany and Lewis. Owning a car didn't seem to take Bob out much at night, 'and he and Tiley lroom- mate of three years' standing! spent most nights working. We wish sincerely that Bob will be successful in selecting a propitious locale for opening his practise,-which will be ethical we know. 73' THE 1935 IRIS Carnegie High School University of Pittsburgh Ohio State University Associate Editor of The Pupil Ring Committee Phi Theta Epsilon BURTON lvl. KANE CARNEGlE, PENNA. o Despite the tact that he was totally unfamiliar with the new surroundings when he trans- ferred trom Ohio State University to our College in his senior year, Burt soon won his way into the hearts of his classmates through his earnest endeavors and congeniality. Ever in the midst of things, Burt's serious intent gained for him the name of a con- scientious worker. Despite this, however, he supplied many humorous moments for his class- mates at the proper time and place. With a brother who is already out in the profession, we feel that Burt will get a good start, which no doubt will lead to success, because he possesses the necessary confidence and tact to carry him on.

Quiet and unassuming, lack was truly one of the most conscientious students in our class. His attentiveness and absorbed interest in the lecture room was a plain indication of his desire to accumulate the maximum knowledge of the various subjects presented. Modest, withal, lack rarely foisted his personality upon the class except when called upon by the professor to answer a question or to discuss a point in dispute. On such occasions he acquitted himself in a manner that left ho doubt in the minds of those who knew him that his sincere efforts were not in vain. At the clinic lack moved among his patients with the same quiet and reserve that marked his behavior in the classroom. He never became ruffled by any untoward incident as was proved time and time again. This serenity, of course, made the patients feel at ease, and thus enabled lack to diagnose and correct ocular' deficiencies more easily and efficiently. We hope that lack's success while with us will continue when he begins his practice, -and we firmly believe it will.

We would like to express sincere regard for Kelley's fortitude and perseverance. Under his leadership, organizations and students were aroused to a definite state of activity. lt is not merely what Roy has accomplished,-but the splendid earnestness, wisdom, and character that has brought him to attainment and success.

This does not imply, however, that he shunned the rest of the student body, His was a type of friendship that those who were fortunate enough to win valued highly, and realized' was stable and lasting. Coming from Baltimore, George was one of that trio of weekend commuters completed by Al and Pat. His car not only served to transfer him to and from his hometown, at frequent weekend or holiday intervals, but also conveyed him and his pals to the clinic. We shall never forget the tales told about the merry times they had on the way, added to by the good-natured joshing between joe and Harry. George early realized the responsibility he assumed when he matriculated at the School, and this was clearly evidenced by the seriousness with which he performed all assignments, even helping and prompting others less resourceful. At the clinic George commanded the respect of all the patients with whom he came in contact by the smoothness and ease with which he performed the various parts of the examination. We all sincerely wish him the success which is his due. THE 1935 IRIS La Salle High School La Salle College junior Assessment Committee l3l Newman Club l2i l3i 1osEPH F.

And it did, at least in one instance, for joe cavorted on the gridiron for the glory of good old La iSalle. We are told of his many spectacular runs against the opposing team which made him one of the most popular men on the field of battle. When he entered the professional field of Optometry, he was forced to convert his physical capabilities to work of a less strenuous character. -He adapted himself quickly, however, and the intensive studying required for the various courses soon supplied an adequate outlet for his energy. He applied himself seriously to his work, always ready to discuss any technical point with his many friends. His questions were always pertinent and often helped the students materially in weathering the Major Quizzes. At the clinic joe assiduously performed the examination as outlined by the chart. This instilled in him a sense of accuracy which we know will aid him substantially in diag- nosing and correcting cases in his office. '78 THE 1935 IRIS 79' .

Her popularity among her classmates was due to her unfailing amiability and sense of humor, and to her ability to play the role of perfect hostess to all.

Later introduced to Optometry by his kin, he realized what this study held for him, and applied himself accordingly. During his leisure hours you would often find jerry with his ear to his radio, or buzzing around in his faithful old Buick, seeking out the far corners of Philadelphia.

His interest and skill in all phases of the clinic work bear this out. During the first two years Len was one of the mainstays of the school orchestra with his saxophone. This was a sacrifice upon his part, because he was an ardent devotee of dancing-especially when his partner was a dark-haired girl from down Columbia Avenue way. We are sure that our classmates will hold fond memories of Len because of his good- natured friendliness toward everyone.

You will not find often a disposition so equable as that of our classmate from The Oranges. He treats everyone with friendliness, and almost nothing can make him harbor resentment for more than a few seconds. He was methodical in his school work and was not easily inducedl to go out until his work was finished. However, when the time and place called for the spirit of fun, there was nothing backward about him. One of his favorite recreations is dancing. He excels in demonstrating the folk dances of northern New jersey. During the senior year he lent his efforts and support to the business side of the lRlS. Linke should not find it difficult to build up a successful practice because of his likable personality and because of his deep interest and proficiency in his profession.

His interests branch out into many fields. One of his best known characteristics is his fondness for drawing and painting. His skill in this direction surmounted his lack of formal education in art work. The Pupil can thank him for his many contributions, and The Iris can be grateful for his art direction. There is only space to merely mention some of his other pursuits. He kept in his dormitory room an aquarium with several uncommon types of fancy fish, and has more than a casual knowledge of botany and entomology. He is fond' of singing, dancing, playing the ukelele, and piano. - But his many hobbies have not prevented him from being a capable student of Optometry, as his invaluable aid in trying moments has shown.

The result was that Bracken and Witzke accompanied him in making a trip to his homeland in that little ole V-S , over Christmas vacation of the senior year.

Bernie comes from a professional family, whose high standards he plans to emulate when he opens his office. He was one of the more conservative members of the class, never ventur- ing an opinion unless requested so to do. However, when there was a problem to solve or an explanation needed for some difficult subject, Bernie invariably knew the answers. On clinic days Bernie was usually seen carrying that professional test-case of his. lt became a common sight in the latter part of the senior year. When he appeared without it, which was rarely, everyone sensed that something was missing. At the clinic Bernie was an admirable interne. -His depolrtment and procedure with the patients came up to prescribed standards. He performed each technique carefully and painstakingly and is considered a very efficient refractionist. We firmly believe that when Bernie begins his professional optometrical career, he will continue to uphold the high ethical standards set by his family. go THE 1935 IRIS West Philadelphia Catholic High School for Boys Freshman Dance Committee lll Phi Theta Epsilon CHARLES 1. o'NEu.L 35 E.

The high regard with which he was held by everyone in the class was exhibited immediately, when he was elected President of the Freshman class. ln the following year Mason was again honored with the office of 'Vice-President, a gesture of appreciation, on the part of the class, for the manner in which he fulfilled his executive duties. Surely these honors speak for themselves, but we cannot help but further exalt this young man. While these achievements might tend, in some cases, to induce a feeling of superiority, Mason looked upon his accomplishments as responsibilities, and the results were therefore favorable. There is much to be gained in this world if one goes about it in the right manner, and Mason, without a doubt, has started in the right direction. lt is,y1ith our sincere good wishes that Mason leaves our midst, but we hope some day to hear of him again, by way of his accomplishments in the field of Optometry.

We hope his name will grace Optom- etry in the same bright fashion. ln the history of the Class of '35 we can think of no one who could ask more questions of the professors,-sometimes disconcerting them-but this trait was attributable to his persis- tency,-a trait which generally is to the credit of its possessor. We think in the case of Mel it will help him toward his goal of successful Optometrist. '9 2 THE 1935 IRIS 93' Hopkins Grammar School, New Haven, Conn.

SAARS l22 Grafton Street NEW HAVEN, CONN. o Coming from New Haven, Conn., Walt exemplified the rigidness, persistency, and truthfulness of good old New England stock. Constantly striving in earnest endeavor, Walt never said fail and his untiring efforts gained him many admirers. Faithful to his work Walt, nevertheless, found time to be present at all school functions. The reason? A dark haired, comely, maiden from West Philadelphia, whom we were honored to have as one of our classmates in '33-'34. Walt's most ardent endeavors, however, were in the field of refraction, and, not content with his interneship at the college clinics, he journeyed to Dr. Vivian's clinic in Chester, where he spent five weeks on this phase of optometric work. Although of almost too serious a turn of mind, Walt's most intimate friends have marvelled at his joviality on rare occasions. With this fine degree of balance in his character, he may be expected to form great friendships in the future as he has here at school, and we believe and hope he will render valuable service in his happy vocation. l Central High School, Harrisburg University of Pennsylvania Orchestra Ring Committee l3l Omicron Delta Epsilon SAMUEL SCHEIN uNioNTowN, PENNA. o Anyone who may have visited Uniontown, Pa. will recall having heard of Sam Schein. Having been graduated from Wharton School of Commerce at the University of Pennsylvania, Sam returned to his home-town, where he entered upon a business career. Notwithstanding his maturity of age, compared with the remainder of the class of '35, Sam entered P. S. C. O. in search of professional knowledge, and, from the first moment, won the admiration of all his associates for his astuteness and generosity. Sam is an accomplished violinist, and, despite the fact that the maiority of his class- mates chided him whenever he fiddled his classical medleys, he would rather have parted with his right arm than tuck the Stradivarius away. lt was because of his really sincere and dignified demeanor that he became known to the faculty as Sam. We are sure that Sam will one day stand out in the field of Optometry, not only because of his ability, but because of his unquenchable enthusiasm and belief in his chosen profession. 95' ll1E IVDJ IKID West Phila, High School Orchestra lli Freshman Publications Com- mittee l3l Omicron Delta Epsilon Fraternity MILTON SCHIFFMAN 6059 N. Mervine Street PHILADELPHIA, PENNA. Milton was known for his friendly attitude towards everyone, and his cheerful, encouraging words made him many friends. Hailing from Philadelphia, his was the true Quaker spirit, showing brotherly love toward all. Music and dancing attracted Milt, and his violin was a definite asset to the school orchestra. Although he sacrificed the pleasure of the dance at the informal affairs, when his contributory artistic renditions were required, he succumbed to the Terpsichorean art at the formals. Devoted to tennis, Milt played often, and when he did, his opponents had plenty to contend with. The sincerity of Milt's interest in Optometry assures us that he has the qualities required for success in his chosen field. A hard worker, Milt came out well in his studies. His interest was not, however, confined to the class room. Clinic became an obsession with him. Not content with serving and pleasing his patients in the school clinics he went also to Chester Clinic, thus widening his experience. Milt was one of the original founders of the fraternity of Omicron Delta Epsilon, and worked hard always to make it outstandingly successful.

SCHMIDT 5505 Kamin Street PITTSBURCH, PENNA. o Hailing from the Smoky City, Herb has shown an ability to cast off the dusty precipitation from his being and stand out as one of the graduates of '35, both scholastically and socially. Ehbert, as he was so often referred to in the Pupil, came to us with a marked measure of professional reserve, having previously graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a B.S, degree. One of Herb's major accomplishments, aside from his scholastic work, was helping to found the Omicron Delta Epsilon Fraternity, which today has a fine, large membership at P. S. C. O. lt was no wonder, therefore, that he was selected to guide the destinies of O. D. E. for two consecutive years in the capacity of President. Among his scholastic accomplishments, we might include his ability to compile very complete sets of notes, which were the envy of many members of the Class. Because of his literary ability, we find Herb served as Assistant Editor of the Pupil for the years '33-'34, 97 THE 1935 IRIS Fifth Ave. High School Pittsburgh Academy Freshman Publication Committee Clee Club lll l2l Omicron Delta Epsilon ABRAHAM SHEER l58 Robinson Street PITTSBURGH, PENNA. o Like many others from P. S. C. O., Abe boasts of Pittsburgh as his birthplace, and, were it humanly possible to animate the Smoky City, there is no doubt it would be proud to claim him as its own. He is good-natured, generous, reserved, but withal. has the quality of good fellowship. Abe is one of the famous duo-Sheer and Breitner-and because of their constancy he was sometimes confused with the latter by underclassmen and faculty. Abe and six other freshmen were responsible for the Omicron Delta Epsilon Fraternity's coming into being in 1932. Although he will be the first of his family to assume a professional role, we think we can foresee other entrants from the clan of Sheer, because Abe is an excellent refractionist, and, no doubt, will win much admiration and respect in the field of Optometry, thereby setting an inspiring example. TH-E 1935 IRIS Overbrook High School Phi Beta Rho Member of j. S. A. ELEANOR l. SHERMAN ISZ9 Pine Street PHILADELPHIA, PENNA. , . Miss Eleanor Sherman, with her wise eyes behind scholarly glasses, may well look back on her student days at P. S. C. O. with the satisfaction that she has done her bit toward making school life more pleasant and enjoyable for her classmates. Throughout her college career, Eleanor always managed to put forth the added little effort to greet everyone with a warm, glad smile and to enrich the atmosphere 'around her with an infectious laugh. . Let us hope that, in the years: to come, Eleanor may continue to draw to herself many friends who will wish her success, as we do. 99' THE 1935 IRIS Northeast High School Class Vice-President l2l Chairman Dance Committee .t2l President l3l Early Part of Year Phi Theta Epsilon ROBERT M.

Physically he comes from Philadelphia, but in spirit he comes from Missouri. If you want Bob to believe anything, you will have to prove it. Bob has been outstanding in every phase of school work and recreation. His marks have been high. He was often called upon by' classmates to settle some academic point. And his skill in bridge, tennis, baseball, and basketball are quite exceptional. THE 1935 IRIS W W Barringer Evening High School W W W W W 1AcoB siNovvAY W 516 Orange Street NEWARK, NJ. W The faculty of this institution will certainly remember the name ot Sinoway in the years to come, for in five years there will have been three brothers who passed beneath its portals. lack will, no doubt, be remembered as an ardent participant in all the class discussions. Like his brothers he was naturally of a quiet nature, but he managed always to clarify a situation when called upon for his point ot view. A newcomer, perhaps, might have been surprised by his general frankness, but, upon second thought, would have attributed this to a desire to be friendly with all. He should make an enviable record for himself, tor his merits are easily appreciated by anyone who is a good judge of character. ' lOO THE I-935 IRIS Lincoln High School Ohio State University 1. LEON SOLOW I2 Audobon Avenue IERSEY CITY, N.l. o When this diminutive young man transferred to our college from Ohio State University, we could not estimate the popularity which he would win for himself in his short stay here. Leo, perhaps, gained more attention in his brief stay within the portals of P. S, C. O. than many of the other members of the class. Where Optometry was concerned, Leo was always the first to enter the discussion, and it was very seldom that his opinions could be disregarded. On the other hand, his wit and impromptu entertainment on many occasions exhibited the humorous side of his nature. Leo impressed practically everyone with his frankness and sincerity, but although the former trait led him into some difficulty, 'he was liked by all for the good spirit in which he accepted another's ideas and opinions. lOl ' THE 1935 IRIS Hammonton High School Drexel Institute ot Technology Newman Club i2l l3i President ot ll Circolo Italiano Decoration Committee l3l Cap and Gown Committee l3l P. A. SPINELLI 20 West End Avenue HAMMONTON, NEW IERSEY o In Pat we have a sincere student and fine scholar. He was the mathematical genius ot the class. His knowledge of the subject was as varied as it was extensive. This may be partly explained by the fact that he has a B.S. from the Drexel Institute of Technology. Whether it was a question of solving a complicated trigonometric identity or a Geometrical Optics sticker, Pat was usually called upon to explain in detail. Upon such request he often had to remain after classes to unravel the intricacies of an S.S.R.S. or Gauss System. Since he was a commuter from Hammonton, his willingness to do this was the more appreciated by the students whom he helped in this manner. Needless to say he acquired a host of friends during his school years. One of his closest cronies was joe in whose company he was most frequently seen. Both of them seemed to have a common understanding which welded them together even as tar back as the fresh- man days. Pat had a practical turn of mind which was somewhat paradoxical in one so well versed in theory. His pet hobby was rigging up rheostats for the portable instruments in various departments ot the clinic in order to help him perform the examinations more smoothly. We teel confident that Pat, with his knowledge and pleasing personality, will be one of the first ot our class to! make good.

Pete, as he became known to his classmates, formed many delightful friendships in his stay at P. S. C. O. He is short of stature, and serious in demeanor, but has a refreshing humor to those who really know him. A great deal cannot be said about the details of his general character, for he is quiet and reserved. His more intimate friends, however, have often remarked about his inherent good nature and sportsmanship. As far as clinic technique is concerned, Pete proved to be an excellent refractionist,-a fact which many of his partners will vouch for. 'With this ability, and his amiable character, Pete should find it easy to make his mark in the optometric profession. lO3 ' THE 1935 IRIS Columbia High School Phi Theta Epsilon jOHN CLINTON STONER l24 N. Third Street COLUMBIA, PENNA. o john was a conscientious young man who tackled his assignments without hope of gain, other than that with which the knowledge provided him. Gay, yet not hilarious, earnest, but not grave, john won his way into the hearts of all his classmates because of his earnest' desire to appreciate another person's talents. While not of a talkative nature himself, john always tound time to lend an ear to another's opinions. His intimate friends have the highest regard for him because of his truthfulness and true comradeship. Never, they say, have they heard him utter a derogatory remark against anyone's character. Here, indeed, is a man of the 'Finest character, and one whom no one could wish any- thing but the best of luck in his future endeavors. ' lO4 THE 1935 IRIS --1 St. Clair High School Clee Club lll l2l Inter-Collegiate Council, l. S. A. HARRY A. SUPOWITZ 5521 N. llth sneer PHILADELPHIA, PENNA. o Sup , as he was known to all the members of the class, hailed from the coal regions of Pennsylvania. Although Harry does not boast of an optometric background, he has done admirably in his chosen profession. Always well dressed, Harry took exceptional interest in all phases of the work, and as a result can boast of a good record. Like several others in the class, he spoke little unless addressed, but his friends have never failed to mention his amiable character. Harry was one of the component parts of that inseparable quartet: Boxman, Zevin, Gottlieb, and himself, and one could always observe him along with the rest. There is no doubt that Harry will make his mark in the world, and, judging from his fine work in the college clinic, his record in the optometrical profession should be a good one. lO5 ' THE 1935 IRIS Mt.

Doc, a nickname which he acquired early in his Freshman year possesses the quality of being reserved and dignified at all times. His Southern mannerisms and accent have won for him many intrigued friends during his student years, friendships he retained too because of real character as well as charming manners. ln the clinic, we found him an expert in the handling of difficult patients. His technique was of such quality, that he soon commanded the respect of his classmates. It is not in envy we regard him, but with awe and profound admiration. Should he go on into practice in the manner he has exhibited here-and we never doubt but that he will-it is easy to visualize his great success amongst the Carolinians. lO7 THE 1935 IRIS Evander Childs High School jewish Students' Association Advertising Pupil lll l2l Associate Editor Pupil l3l junior Publications l3l C-lee Club l2l Interfraternity Council l2l Vice-Chancellor Gamma Omega t2l Phi Fraternity IACKSON MARTIN WEBER l84l Amethyst Street NEW YORK, N.Y.

With a smile and a greeting he graced many ai gathering and made a host of friends. lack has tact and amicability, traits which benefitted him materially during his stay at P.S.C.O. Although he possessed a humorous side, he never failed to impress his friends with his serious intent where Optometry was concerned.

THE 1935 IRIS Williston Military Academy University of Maryland Freshman Dance Committee ill Pupil, Assistant Advertising Manager i2l Commencement Decorating Com- mittee l3J PRESTON EARL WEST MILLSBORO, DELAWARE West came up to our city of Brotherly Love from the State of Delaware, bringing with him an ancestral Optometric and Medical background. Also an unusual collection of stories per- taining to the river which runs through the center of the little home town. Has he told you about the boat races they have there? Well, if he hasn't, don't get him started. Those of you who haven't heard about his neighbor's racehorse, Man-O-War, simply don't know West. Before entering the portals of P.S.C.O., Preston resided at the Theta Chi house of the University of Maryland, where he matriculated in the Pre-Medical Curriculum. West has taken his Optometric work very seriously, and we believe he will be just as sincere in his practice as he was with his studies. Whether he returns to his little home town or reaches out into a larger field, we feel sure he will become successful both in practice and socially.

What good qualities have been mentioned previously of other members of the class are all applicable to Ted, because he proved to be an outstanding student, scholastically and socially. Ted came to P.S.C.O. to study his chosen profession, after a year at the University of Pennsylvania. After his rigorous training at that institution, he was endowed, upon his en- trance, with the necessary tact and reserve to assure immediate success. Ted was as efficient a scholar as one could find, and his consistency and ability to com- prehend easily, marked him as a competent leader in scholastic circles. Despite his constant efforts to gain knowledge, Ted found enough time to spend many evenings with a certain co-ed at Temple. We can only wish Ted the best of luck in his future endeavors, but we feel confident his success will be only a matter of course.

However, we appreciated his qualities the more when we really discovered the truly humorous and amicable side of his nature. 'But time singles a man out for what he is worth. His classmates offered ample proof of this, by select- ing him class treasurer in his Senior year. Together with his three roommates, Howie provided many moments 'of entertainment for the Seniors, although he studied intensively as well. By no means egotistical, Howie had an indifferent rnethodl of expressing his desires and accomplishments. We feel confident in predicting that this young man will very shortly be able to tell us of his achievements in the field of Gptometry. i, THE 1935 IRIS Baltimore City College Alumni Editor Glee Club l2l Music Committee l3l Pupil lll l2l l3l Omega Delta Fraternity FREDERICK H.

He belonged to the athleti- cally inclined group of our college, and spent. much time playing whatever game happened to be in season, although his greatest interest was in football. . Fred has not only ta- pleasing smile and a keen sense of humor, but he has a keen interest in Optometry and was a willing worker. He may justly brag of one of the best note books in the classg but better still, he knows the subjects. Every year Fred has had a new roommate, and no matter with whom he chummed, he usually studied with Hammaker. lt is said that the latter roomed with him during the Senior year so he would not be annoyed by another entering or leaving the room. His three years at P.S.C.O. were characterized by a spirit of dependability and loyalty. We can predict a happy future in the practice of his chosen profession, and the town which wins him may well be proud. lll ' THE 1935 IRIS Olney High School College Orchestra lll l2l C-lee Club ill l2l Member of j.

They could not understand how one of his youthful countenance could ever attain the high distinction of becoming a senior. However, closer association with him soon revealed the reason. His youth concealed an intelligence which was on a par with that of any man in the class. The celierity and ease with which he digested complicated prob- lems and theories often made him the focus of a barrage of questions after classes. On these occasions he would willingly remain to explain the complicated points. Needless to say, he gathered about him many friends who appreciated his desire and efforts to help them. Among the closest of these were Harry, joe, and Seymour. With Norman, they formed an inseparable quartet. Through the years at school they were always seen together, sitting in a row in each lecture room. At the clinic Norman's ability to gain the confidence of his patients, and to elicit exact information from them, stamped him as one of the most efficient of internes. We are sure that when Norm embarks on his chosen professional career, he will add new glory to the Optometric history of his family.

Al's perseverance and determination are manifest by the fact that although he com- muted from Trenton, he was never late for classes during all the years of his school career. What a record! His neat appearance and quiet manners stamped him as one fully capable of assuming the role of a professional man. He made friends quickly and easily, without effort. That his friendship was appreciated was obvious from the fact that joe and the rest of the com- muters always waited up for him after classes so that he could be with them at luncheon in Dixi-Anne's. ln the clinic Al was a model interne, always impressing his superiors with- his sin- cerity and willingness to cooperate in determining the proper correction for a patient. There is no doubt in our minds that Al will speedily attain a successful practice when he begins his professional career. , THE 1935 IRIS In Fond and Lasting Memory of STANLEY H, LUND ROLAND H.

BERNTHAL Secretary Vice-President junior Class History September 17, 1934, found the class of '36 back at Alma Mater with renewed spirit and greater interest. After a few days we became settled to the routine of lectures, laboratorfes, experiments and the long discussions pertaining to various phases of the study of Optometry. At the beginning of the first trimester Dr. Neumueller bade us Auf wiedersehen and Dr. Klingaman entered to instruct us in the exact science of Theoretic Optics. We were also introduced to, and conquered, several new subjects calculated to enhance our value to Optometry. Dr. W. l. Tait presented us with frogs, new instruments of experimentation, and instructed us in Physiology. Dr. Sinn inducted us to considerations of the mysteries of umbras, mirrors, and lenses, not to mention a few indices of refraction. At the clinics Doctors Smith and Whitaker watched us practise diligently. Dr. Curcio donated an infinite number of pencils of light and diffusion discs to our collective comprehension. Then in the last trimester came Dr. Hamilton introducing psychological concepts of conditioned reflexes, and other phases of psychology pertaining directly to our profession. And last but not least, Dr. Fitch taught us professional ethics. From his vast, practical experience we learned the advantages of professional behavior and how exactly an ethical practitioner conducts himself and his practise. We also absorbed valuable knowledge from our old friends on the faculty, Doctors E. F. Tait, Neill, Nevyas, lVlacElree, Billetdoux and Stever. THE 1935 IRIS The officers of the class, R. F. Austin, Pres., N. Bernthal, Vice-Pres., D. Nemtzow, Sec., and H. Robinson, Treas., set about making this year and this class one that will long be remembered as quite a group. At our first social function the Freshmen were royally entertained, with the aid of Dr. j. Deissler, at the Annual Freshman Smoker and Bridge on September 27, l934 in the College Hall. And then, more suddenly than we are willing to admit, our first trimester exams, were upon us immediately followed by the Christmas vacation which provided a brief respite from our studies. Then, back again, decorated with gorgeous ties and what-nots, we en- tered on the second trimester of .the junior year. We were highly honored by Dr. j. Nevyas when he accepted the office of Advisor of the Class of l936 Then came the junior Prom, held in the North Gardens of the Bellevue Strat- ford Hotel. There was a bit of discussion as to whether the affair should be held in conjunction with, or independent of, the Senior Class. The latter became the final choice. Under the chairmanship of N. Bernthal, the com- mittee, with the cooperation of the class and others of the student body, made of the Prom a brilliant success which long will be remembered as one of the high-lights of our stay at the P.S.C.O. The Easter vacation coming in the middle of the third trimester offered a welcome respite from mental labors. Almost too quickly the final exam- inations were upon us and june finds the Class of '36 looking back on their junior year with delightful memories, and anticipating with eager eyes the important Senior year at the Pennsylvania State College of Optometry.

THE 1935 IRIS Freshmen Class History On the seventeenth of September, the portals of the college were opened to the incoming Freshmen class of I937, who were eager to begin their courses in quest of fame in the field of Optometry. As the weeks progressed, the members of the class began to realize that there was plenty of real, hard, honest-to-goodness work to be done before they could reap the laurels of their chosen profession. lt was not long before the green Freshmen began to find their places in the school routine, and settled down to work, and to enjoy the social activities of the college. ln October, the Upperclassmen played the genial hosts to the class of '37. The annual Freshman smoker was enjoyed in the College Hall with the jovial and rotund Dr. Deissler as Master of Ceremonies. Vaudeville stunts were put on by various students, and everyone in the Senior and junior classes strove mightily to make the Freshmen feel at home amidst the spiral- ing blue flames, and the dots of live red in the corncob pipes. Dr. Deissler related the traditional birdie story, and, with the usual blessing which accompanies the story, the delightful smoker came to an end. ln the Fall of '35, the class of '38 will be received and entertained in the same manner. ln December, the Freshmen were put to their first real test-the first trimester examinations. The Christmas holidays soothed their troubled minds for twelve days, but shortly after the return to school in january the marks were lying in wait for them, and, naturally there were some sad, some happy, and some elated members. Then, respite from worrisome thoughts until March l5th. Second tri- mester exams, and the same experiences, and ordeal of waiting, waiting. On February 22nd, the Freshman Class played host to the entire school and held their annual dance at the Manufacturers' and Bankers' Club. This was the first formal dance held by any Freshman Class, and, inaugurating a precedent, met with much approval by all the student body. lt was the first dance of the season and the spontaneity and Congeniality of everyone made the Promenade a grand success. The class held its first election, selecting Frederick Fish, jr. to skipper the class of one hundred and thirty-four members for the year. Walter Schneeweis was named next in command and proved a very able chairman of the dance committee. john Vickery was elected to 'handle the class finances and to keep the books out of the red at all times, which he did with the ingenuity of a Certified Public Accountant. Miss Claire Pribula handled the quill with the ease and grace that only the fair sex displays. When the warm weather routed the snow, the Freshmen turned to baseball and put a splendid team on the field. They played the Upperclass team and managed to take them into camp by the score of 5-l. Now they are looking for new laurels this year on the tennis court and they hope to retain any victories they achieve throughout their P.S.C.O. College life. Taking it all in all, the year was most delightful for the entire Freshman Class, and they are looking forward to the remaining two years with all the eagerness and enthusiasm that only Freshmen possess.

L, ll ll il i I3 l. ve,--V f----- -.-?.n, OR many years before Helmholtz, ocular practitioners had searched for a means with which to explore the human eye. By supplying this means, Helmholtz, in inventing the ophthalmoscope in l85l, made one of the most momentous ocu- lar discoveries. He established a new period in the advancement of ophthalmic science. While the use of the ophthalmoscope is well known today, and its value fully appreciated by the profession, some little time elapsed before its benefits were understood. A writer of his day said that at first many people were very shy of employing it. Helmholtz was warned by one distinguished colleague that Hit would be dangerous to admit the naked light into a diseased eye. However, it was suggested by serious-minded practitioners that the ophthalmoscope might have value in another direction. The opinion was entertained that the mirror might be of service to practitioners with defective eyesight in enabling them to see better the eyes that they were examining. Helmholtz was the first man to look upon the retina of the human eye. His discovery illuminated the way for immediate progress which has continued to our day. lCourtcsy of Optical journal and Review of Optometryl Clinic: Staff and lnternes THE 1935 IRIS Clinics ALBERT FITCH, O.D., F.A.A.O.

A great deal of new equipment has been purchased, and an extensive program of remodeling carried out to successful completion. The thorough and scientifically complete diagnosis and refrac- tion of each and every case encountered is facilitated. The most conspicuous improvements are those made in the Pathological Department, the Department for the care of Sub-normal Vision and the Department of Bio-microscopy. ln the first named, there are facilities for handling any ocular disturbances immediately, because of its complete and entirely modern equipment. Due to the acquisition by the College of all modern equipment for work on cases of sub-normal vision, research and study of this phase of optometry will be greatly advanced. Although it was unnecessary to add new equipment to the Department of Bio-microscopy, the greater space now devoted to it permits of greater facility in handling the work. The newest developments in the treatment of muscular imbalances and visual defects permit of more concise study and correction. A greater degree of routine efficiency has been effected because of the new procedure which was inaugurated this year. Each Department now has a supervisor whose duty it is to check and approve the findings, and round out the clinical technique of the internes. Inter-departmental telephones has minimized confusion-expedited communication. With all these improvements, this scientific clinic lends itself splendidly to the business of equipping its internes to the nth degree of proficiency in the best methods of optometrical practice.

His discovery of astigmatism made possible the applica- tion of corrective refractive science in one of the most common fields of defective vision. Dr. Young examined his own eyes in a mirror. l-le per- formed 'his experiments largely through the then newly invented instrument, the optometer. l-le succeeded in determining the focal length of the lens of his eye in various meridians. l-le made the important discovery that his eyes did not pos- sess equal power in focusing lines at different inclinations to the horizontal, e. g., when he viewed horizontal lines of square paper the vertical lines were not clearly in focus, and vice versa. l-lis account was the first written record of astigmatism. Young not only told of his discovery but he proceeded to account for his defect in such exacting scientific language that even the most recent works on the subject have not changed the basic ideas of his treatises to any great extent. The modern optometrist is indebted to Thomas Young for much enlightenment on the science of optics, but the greatest practical application of the famous scientist's knowledge and genius lay in his discovery of astigmatism. iCourtesy of Optical journal and Review of Optomctryl Fraternal Associations THE 1935 IRIS First row: Cianfrani, Charron, Kelley.

F. Tait as faculty advisor, has served well its purpose during the past year. Outstanding in the work of the Council has been the successful formulation of a code of fair and sensible methods of rushing and pledging. In the i934-35 season the new code was utilized to the advantage of all concerned. This representative body asks all student organizations of the College to do their utmost to build friendly and social relationships.

For the first time in its two years of official existence, the fraternity is represented in all three classes of the college. joining with the other four fraternities in maintaining the integrity of the rushing code established last year, Omicron Delta Epsilon's activities in that respect were both dignified and effective. With eleven neophytes as a nucleus, a season of pledgeship was invoked for the purpose of training the pledgees in the ideals of the fraternity. Of this group, eight finally received initiation and, in an impressive ritual ceremony, were admitted to full mem- bership. The past year etched Omicron Delta Epsilon more firmly into the fra- ternal picture at Pennsylvania State College of Optometry. While emphasiz- ing the curricular activity of the members, a calendar of extra-curricular functions was prepared and expeditiously carried out to the complete satis- faction and gratification of all the members. Banquets, smokers, and dances were interspersed throughout the year, offering variety and pleasure to all who attended.

The Grand Chapter is located at Chicago, lllinois, and there are some two hundred active mem- bers representing the many chapters in the various optometric educational institutions of this country, along with seventeen hundred alumni members in the practice of optornetry. Epsilon Chapter at the Pennsylvania State College of Optometry is out- standing in the affairs of the national organization. This group was host to the Eastern Regional Conclave of Omega Delta during March l935. Epsilon Chapter, in itself, has carried on its educational program this year, as in the past, and may well be proud of its scholastic, social, and fraternal record. To our graduating Brothers of the Chapter we offer our most hearty congratulations. We, who remain to carry on in the College, will look forward to meeting you and your fellow alumni both abroad and on the Campus.

Their thoughts following the line of frater- nalism, caused them to organize what turned Out to be the nucleus of the Phi Theta Epsilon Fraternity. The first constitution was drawn up in l92O, but was subsequently revised during the school years of l922-23. lt was in this year that the Phi Theta Epsilon Fraternity was granted its national charter. Since that time, and in step with the development of the College itself, the Alpha Chapter has grown continuously, so that among its ranks are now numbered no less than forty-three active members. Social, scholastic, and athletic activities-all have come within the scope of the Frater- nity's active attention. The most prominent events on Phi Theta Epsilon's social calendar for the past year have been the Pledge Dance, the March Formal and, of course, the Spring Formal Dinner Dance. Notable at all these functions has been the outstanding attendance of alumni members-a marked indication of the spirit of friendship, the strong bond between members of the past and the present. The advancement of Professional Optometry has always been the aim of Phi Theta Epsilong and, throughout the years, the maintenance of the highest ethical standards has been insisted upon by the Fraternity. The failure of other optometric institutions to meet the necessary standards required to obtain the Doctorate Degree of P. S. C. O. has called forth the Fraternity's refusal to extend Patents for active chapters to them. Regretfully, Phi Theta Epsilon parts with its graduating members, sincerely it congratu- lates them. To those going forth, our toast is: Farewell and Success. ' l4O l4l ' ' - l l e , 7' ' f fm XY.

All those connected with the organization, which was founded in l926, are highly pleased with the progress made during the past year. Starting the year with a brilliantly successful smoker, the social season continued with various affairs held dur?ng the school year. At the time this was written, plans 'had been completed for the annual dinner dance to be held at the Manufacturers' Country Club in Philadelphia. Also, during the course of the year, the fraternity presented a gift to the Magee Chemical Laboratory of the school. Ten new names were added to the fraternity roll call during the past year. The rituals were held on the afternoon of january nineteenth. That same evening, a delightful dinner dance for incoming freshmen was enjoyed at the Arcadia The dance was attended by a large group of alumni who added to the gayety of the occasion. The officers of the fraternity, led by Chancellor Charles Charron, should be highly commended for their unceasing efforts in making i934-35 a banner year and for instilling a new spirit in the fraternity. To those who leave us this year because of graduation, the fraternity wishes early success, and solemnly promises to carry on the traditions handed down by every past mem- ber of Ciamma Omega Phi Fraternity.

Although a comparatively new organization in the college, the Sorority has shown great initiative in administering its affairs and in the progress it has made toward increasing its social activities among the women students of P.S.C,O. Several affairs were gjven for the pledgees early in the season. Among these were a Russian tea at the home of Miss Rita Cianfranig an informal party by Miss Ethel Kuperstein, and a bridge at l-lillton, culminating in the initiation dinner at the lnternational. An informal dance, sponsored by the Sorority was enjoyed on April l3th at the College. This was unusually successful. Much of the credit for the progress of the Sorority, both intellectually and socially, is due to the efforts of the officers of the organization, Their untiring zeal will always be a source of inspiration to future members. With the departure of the graduating class of l935, the Sorority is very reluctant- to bid farewell to four of its members. To these we tender our best wishes for a full and completely successful optometric career.

It con- tains technical papers, a resume of notable events occurring throughout the College month, news of general professional interest, and humorous and current bits of collegiate interest. The Alumni Bulletin, which in the past was a section of importance in the Pupil, was made a separate publication in December l934, although the staff of the Pupil helps in preparing the material for this new and in- teresting spokesman for the Alumni Association of P.S.C.O. The magazines enjoyed a very successful year due to a capable and co- operative staff and because of the increased support from the students and alumni. The editors and publication staff, at this time, bid adieu to their many friends and contributors, and extend to their successors sincere wishes for conspicuous success in the ensuing year.

Composed of those members of the student body belonging to the Roman Catholic faith, the organization has for its fundamental aim the preservation of the high ideals and standards to which its members have previously been trained. Not to be ignored however are the social and scholastic activities likewise sponsored by the Club. The Pennsylvania State College of Optometry chapter is but one of a national group existing in the majority of colleges and universities today. The regular meetings of the Middle Atlantic Province of the Federation of College Catholic Clubs serve to promote cooperation between the Optometric Chap- ter and the chapters of the other colleges in and near the city. To its departing members, the Newman Club counsels a continued ob- servance of its traditions, so that the success which shall surely be theirs may rebound to the greater honor of their profession and their religion.

The group was organized from the class of i936 by Dr. john F. Morrow, late of the Anatomy Department of the College. Students to be eligible for membership must be recommended by the professors of the anatomy department, and be approved by the faculty adviser of the Society, who at present is Dr. W. O. Vivian. The membership is purposely kept small in order that the Society may function more efficiently. At present several members of the Class of i937 are being considered. Dr. Vivian has approved of a program of activities to include the con- ducting of evening extra-curricular lectures on anatomy to be given at the College.
