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.

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 Scranton Central High School junior Prom Committee i2l Cilee Club l2J Newman Club ill l2l l3l Decoration Committee i3l Executive Committee t2l MlCHAEL L. CAPUTO l2l3 South Main Avenue SCRANTON, PENNA. o Mike, without a doubt, was one of the most sociable and amiable young men in the Senior Class. Always well dressed, cheerful and considerate of others, he was able to boast of the companionship of every member of his class. His keen wit and humor never failed to bring a peal of laughter. Especially funny was his first psuedo-scientific hypothesis, namely, the use of the keratometer for treatment during a busy period in the clinics. There was, however, a more serious side to this young man's ambitions, and he spent many nights reading over optometric literature, Never failing to keep abreast of his study assignments, Mike, nevertheless, presented himself at all the school functions. When we look back, reminiscing over the personalities belonging to our college days, Michael's will certainly be Iimned against the background as a real friend and a staunch supporter of Optometry.
