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.

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 Norwich Free Academy Freshman Publication Com- mittee lll Chancellor Gamma Omega Phi Fraternity l3l C. O. P. CHARLES Cl-IARRON I5 Rogers Street NEW LONDON, CONN. 0 Charlie came to P. S. C. O. with the intent to study his profession diligently and no one can say he did not fulfill his intentions. It was not an unusual occurrence to find Charlie and his diminutive room-mate burning the midnight-oil over some of his Optometric studies. Charlie found time 'for social and athletic interests along with his college work and could often be found on the baseball diamond where he made quite a name for himself as catcher. He was active in his fraternity and was elected Chancellor in his senior year and filled the office very efficiently and successfully. We think the gentle nature and quiet friendliness of this member of our class will be an asset to him in his practice and we can only wish him the best of success. '62
