lO9 THE 1935 IRIS West Pittston Senior High School University of Pennsylvania Orchestra ill l2l Associate Editor of The Iris l3l Music Committee l3l EDWARD B. WICKS 242 Philadelphia Avenue WEST PITTSTON, PENNA. What good qualities have been mentioned previously of other members of the class are all applicable to Ted, because he proved to be an outstanding student, scholastically and socially. Ted came to P.S.C.O. to study his chosen profession, after a year at the University of Pennsylvania. After his rigorous training at that institution, he was endowed, upon his en- trance, with the necessary tact and reserve to assure immediate success. Ted was as efficient a scholar as one could find, and his consistency and ability to com- prehend easily, marked him as a competent leader in scholastic circles. Despite his constant efforts to gain knowledge, Ted found enough time to spend many evenings with a certain co-ed at Temple. We can only wish Ted the best of luck in his future endeavors, but we feel confident his success will be only a matter of course.

THE 1935 IRIS Williston Military Academy University of Maryland Freshman Dance Committee ill Pupil, Assistant Advertising Manager i2l Commencement Decorating Com- mittee l3J PRESTON EARL WEST MILLSBORO, DELAWARE West came up to our city of Brotherly Love from the State of Delaware, bringing with him an ancestral Optometric and Medical background. Also an unusual collection of stories per- taining to the river which runs through the center of the little home town. Has he told you about the boat races they have there? Well, if he hasn't, don't get him started. Those of you who haven't heard about his neighbor's racehorse, Man-O-War, simply don't know West. Before entering the portals of P.S.C.O., Preston resided at the Theta Chi house of the University of Maryland, where he matriculated in the Pre-Medical Curriculum. West has taken his Optometric work very seriously, and we believe he will be just as sincere in his practice as he was with his studies. Whether he returns to his little home town or reaches out into a larger field, we feel sure he will become successful both in practice and socially. 'IO 8

THE 1935 IRIS Massanutten Military Academy Class Treasurer l3l Student Activities Council l3l HOWARD F. WILCOX NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT o Not one of us really knew Howie until his junior year, because of 'the fact that he was a bit reserved and aloof while a Freshman. However, we appreciated his qualities the more when we really discovered the truly humorous and amicable side of his nature. 'But time singles a man out for what he is worth. His classmates offered ample proof of this, by select- ing him class treasurer in his Senior year. Together with his three roommates, Howie provided many moments 'of entertainment for the Seniors, although he studied intensively as well. By no means egotistical, Howie had an indifferent rnethodl of expressing his desires and accomplishments. We feel confident in predicting that this young man will very shortly be able to tell us of his achievements in the field of Gptometry.
