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.

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 Schenley High School University of Pittsburgh Publication Committee l3l Pupil Staff l2l lnterfraternity Council l2l Omicron Delta Epsilon HERBERT Z. 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,
