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.

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

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.
