THE 1935 IRIS South Philadelphia High School Glee Club lll l2l jewish Students' Association jOSEPH G. BOXMAN l27O south 27th sneer PHILADELPHIA, PENNA. joe was one of the more reserved members of the Senior Class. It can well be said, He spoke little, but when he spoke, he said much. joe came to us from Southern High School, where he was captain of the soccer team. With his entrance into a professional institution, however, joe gave up his interests in sports to delve deeply into the study of his profession. Those who knew joe closely, among whom can be mentioned the trio of Gottlieb, Zevin, and Supowitz, realized that he had a firm character, tempered with moments of humor. His ability as a clinician have impressed many with the fact that he will be a successful prac- titioner, and a credit to the optometrical profession.

BILLC-ER East Shawmont Avenue ROXBOROUGH, PENNA. Harry was often known as Hum to his close friends because of his habit of humming when in their company. This, coupled with an infectious laugh which seemed to begin at ,his toes and travel all the way up to explode in deep-throated merriment, served to make him one of the most popular and best known of P.S.C.O. students. Before entering college Harry was considered one of the best inter-scholastic pitchers. In fact, he was offered a try-out with Connie Mack, manager of Philadelphia'si contribution to the American League. But he chose a professional career'at which he has already made the grade. He did, however, give the benefit of his expert pitching ability to the baseball team of Phi Theta Epsilon Fraternity for whom he won many games in inter-fraternity contests. His athletic prowess did not interfere with his scholastic ability. At times 'he amazed his fellow students, and even the professors, by his detailed andaccurate answers to questions. lf the quality of his academic efforts is any indication of his future career, then he is assured of success.

Fraternity 13, Unassuming, reserved, tactful and sociable. All this is john Bracken. john, like several others in the class of '35, spoke little, but when he did, he was assured of an audience. john, with his quiet manner, was an ideal scholar, ever seeking to broaden his scope of knowledge. His timely efforts in aiding students who were not so successful in analyzing the theoretical phases of the work, made for him many friends. His untiring efforts bore fruit in other fields as well. john, because of his capacities, was elected president of the Omega Delta Fraternity, and, from appearances, manoeuvred its mem- bers through its most successful year. As circulation manager of the Pupil, john received much praise, and the year 1935 saw a smoothly efficient circulation department. Not praise, not gain, but favorable results are the fruits of honest labor and good work. Surely, john can boast of favorable results, because he is regarded as one of the outstanding members of the class of '35, scholastically and socially.
