THE 1935 IRIS Temple High School Temple University jewish Students' Association MELVIN ROSEN 5610 N. iofh Street PHILADELPHIA, PENNA. After an absence from Pennsylvania State College of Optometry of a year, Mel joined us in the Senior year, and his wit and personality soon gained him many friends. He will always be remembered for his ability in printing, and we will recall vividly the gilded letters with which he was wont to embellish all his belongings. 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 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.

THE 1935 IRIS 93' Hopkins Grammar School, New Haven, Conn. Vice President lll Freshman Dance Committee lll Cap and Gown Committee l3l Glee Club lll 127 Newman Club lll l2l l3l Phi Theta Epsilon WALTER F. 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.
