97 THE 1935 IRIS Fifth Ave. High School Pittsburgh Academy Freshman Publication Committee Clee Club lll l2l Omicron Delta Epsilon ABRAHAM SHEER l58 Robinson Street PITTSBURGH, PENNA. o Like many others from P. S. C. O., Abe boasts of Pittsburgh as his birthplace, and, were it humanly possible to animate the Smoky City, there is no doubt it would be proud to claim him as its own. He is good-natured, generous, reserved, but withal. has the quality of good fellowship. Abe is one of the famous duo-Sheer and Breitner-and because of their constancy he was sometimes confused with the latter by underclassmen and faculty. Abe and six other freshmen were responsible for the Omicron Delta Epsilon Fraternity's coming into being in 1932. Although he will be the first of his family to assume a professional role, we think we can foresee other entrants from the clan of Sheer, because Abe is an excellent refractionist, and, no doubt, will win much admiration and respect in the field of Optometry, thereby setting an inspiring example.

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,
