THE 1935 IRIS Swissvale High School junior Prom Committee l2l lnterfraternity council i3l Pupil Staff, Circulation Manager l3l Iris Staff, Assistant Editor l3l Freshman Publication Com- mittee l3l jQHN W, BRACKEN Vice-President, Omega Delta Fraternity l2l 1213 Macon Avenue President, Omega Delta SWISSVALE, PENNA. 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.

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.

THE 1935 IRIS Passaic High School Omicron Delta Epsilon Omicron Delta Upsilon Fraternity, Secretary l2l Iris Staff, Assistant Editor l3l junior Publications Committee l2i EDWIN A. BREITNER l5l Market Street PASSAIC, N. 1. Far be it from us to try to enumerate all of Ed's good qualities in such a small space, but his outstanding qualities are evident, and everyone who knows him is impressed by his frankness and honesty. Soon after his arrival from Passaic he established himself as one of the leaders in scholarship, and has maintained his high position ever since. He also gave his time freely to help those who were less proficient. Striving for good marks did not keep him from participating in the school's athletic activities. His effectiveness in baseball was well known. Ever in the thick of things, Ed was an active member of the O. D. E. fraternity, and held the office of secretary. We feel sure Ed. will have a natural aptitude for success as a practitioner in his chosen profession, as he comes from a long line of professional men, and he has the necessary reserve and sense of ethics which make for professionalism.
