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.

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.

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.
