THE 1935 IRIS West Philadelphia Catholic High School for Boys Freshman Dance Committee lll Phi Theta Epsilon CHARLES 1. o'NEu.L 35 E. Wayne Avenue ALDAN, DELAWARE COUNTY, PENNA. Charlie hails from one of the suburbs of the City of Brotherly Love and is a hail fellow to all. He is not one of the noisy type of individuals, but is very conscientious about every- thing he undertakes. Among Charlie's other outstanding traits was his neatness and proficiency in clinical technique-maybe that is why the Miss followed him to the clinic one day. Being a day student, many of those living in the dorms did not get a chance to really know him, but those who did can vouch that Charles will become one of the outstanding members of our class in the field of Optometry, after graduation.

THE I935 IRIS North Catholic High School Cap and Gown Committee l3l Cap and Cown Committee l t Senior Announcement Corn- mittee l3l BERNARD E. OESTREICH 903 W. Lehigh Avenue PHILADELPHIA, PENNA. 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 john Marshall High School Class President lll l2l Student Activity Council lli i2l C-lee Club l2l lnterfraternity Council l2l Pupil Staff lll Dance Committee .lll l2l i3l Phi Theta Epsilon MASON W. PACE, lr. 28l6 Edgewood Avenue RICHMOND, VA. o Coming from Richmond 'Virginia, Mason brought to P. S. C. O. the true staunchness and reserve of a Southern gentleman. 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.
