FCCEW CED A s an excuse for its existence this volum e has the sole and sim ple aim o f providing you, class mate, w ith a reminder o f a certain phase o f your life and all the variegated associations w hich such a train o f thought m ust carry along in its wake. It has become for us already a page out o f the past. T h e thought pictures w hich the fo llo w in g few pages w ill cause to rise in the m inds o f the readers, are infinite in number and variety. It is our sincere hope that they w ill be, in the main, pleasant pictures, although you m ust realize that this book can serve on ly as a key to a storehouse w hich you yourself have been filling hour by hour the last three years. I f the ju m b led w ords and pictures to fo llo w can bu t sw ing open the doors to those ninety-six storehouses, this Year B o o k w ill have served its purpose. A s the years roll by, and you snatch a m om ent now and then from a busy life to peek in to your attic o f memories, you w ill come to realize more and more that the friendships you have made are the most im portant single item w hich you w ill take from w ithin these walls, and the o n ly thing w hich you could have acquired in no other way. The truly fortunate man w ill be the one, not whose name is covered w ith glory throughout this book, but the one w ho can lo o k through the pictures o f his classmates and say, T h e y are m y friends” .
D E D IC A T IO N Never in the h istory o f O p tom etry has the fight for professionalism been w aged more stro n g ly than during the student years o f the class o f ’ 39. M ore than one significant victo ry in this battle for the elevation o f the profession w ill serve as the first milestone along the h ig h w a y o f our careers, and in gratitude to our older brothers w h o have fo u g h t the good fight, as evidence o f our trust in them and our faith in their principles, and as concrete p ro o f o f our desire to carry on in their fo o t steps — we respectfully dedicate this B o o k to P r o fessional O ptom etry. Let our banner be that leaders and our prayer be:

by
G o d grant me health, and w ill to pursue m y w ork . . . . G o d grant me clear and unerring vision in tracking dow n and allevi ating the ills w hich may be fall m y fe llo w man . . . . G o d grant me strength o f spirit and singleness o f purpose in my studies . . . . G o d grant me power to fo llo w straight unsw erving path to m y goal — truth . . . .

Q .
'k J 'iic jJ it , jjn ,.
H ave you ever read a class h istory? R e a lly probed into one, I mean from an analytical view p o in t? W e ll I have and the results are surprising. Here at M . S. O . each class seems to have produced someone w ith a real flare for w ritin g, a poet or philosopher, w h o , until commencement, has kept his talents buried beneath sheaves o f clinic reports or m yopia papers. Glance over you r old Y ear B o ok s some tim e; note the scholarly style o f M ark B u d ilo v, the scathing sarcasm o f Jo h n Russel, and the dram atic punch o f A 1 R o y ’s journalistic endeavors. In addition, take stock o f the ingenuity w h ich these lads have displayed in presenting their m aterial. T h e h istory has been given in ju st about every form im aginable; a letter, an oration, a jo u rn ey, and even a three act p lay! So, as y o u m ay see, it appeared a m onum ental task to produce a satis factory set o f annals in the face o f such com petition, but there is one solution. L e t’s shatter trad itio n !! F or once, le t’s toss rhetoric and m etaphysics into the M assachusetts A venue A lle y s and present this thin g in the one w a y w h ich has n ot yet been tried . . . . straigh tforw ard fact! H u rry on — here comes y o u r h isto ry !! September, 1 936. A hundred-odd yo u n g men gather at 1 1 1 2 B o ylsto n Street. B ig ones, little ones, smart ones, and not-so-sm art ones, all believing that in O p tom etry they m ay find a use for their various talents, a place for themselves in a h ig h ly specialized line o f endeavor, and a position o f u lti mate usefulness in the L ife o f T o m o r ro w (n ot a p lu g for the N e w Y o r k W o r ld ’s Fair, th at la s t ) . A ll very w ell, b u t there w as w o rk to do first. M a n y were the h ap py hours spent in study, b on in g over A n a to m y and grinding a w a y at Practical Optics. H ap p y hours n o w that they are finished! T h e n there w as the m atter o f initial adjustm ent. N o use denying it, there is a rather strange atmosphere here at M . S. O ., som ething quite indefinable or indescribable. E very one o f us has felt it; a vague h o stility , a subtle undercurrent o f some thing akin to resentment at our very presence, but I d o n ’ t believe it ’s really that. S hall w e say, instead, that it is sim p ly the ou tw ard m anifestation o f the challenge that O p tom etry itself makes to us, a w a y the profession has o f sh o w in g us that it is not to be entered b y anyone, that if w e w an t to get into it, “ W e ’ve got to be g o o d !” Regardless o f h o w the feelings ran, how ever, everyone became more or less used to it, and we all managed to get along together. T h o se first e x am inations certainly were an event! It was, beside the headache, a chance to sh ow our instructors and ourselves just h o w much o f the material was registering in our respective crania. T h e n there w as the social side o f things. T h e Seniors and Juniors gave a smoker at the R itz P la za ; a lot o f fun, and an excellent chance to really begin to k n o w some o f our classmates. Several inform al dances came along, tw o at the R . P ., as above, and a third at the F o x and H ounds C lu b.
thirty-eight
T h e fraternity carried on its usual in itiation antics (in v o lv in g considerable unpleasantness w ith grinding-com pound, pitch and paddles) and ath letically the boys broke out into basketball. A ccording to custom, there were class officers elected: T o m Stonhouse leading off as president; A r t M arch as vice-president; P orter D exter, secretary; Fred W agner, treasurer and T o n y Salerno as sergeant-at-arm s (w h ateverincll that m ay b e ) . T h e next year found us as full-fledged Juniors — since due to the then prevailing three year curriculum , no transitory Sophom ore stage existed. Several new men joined the group, n o ta b ly C a l W o o d , G il R ist and B ill W eism an. In the fall there was the traditional H a llo w e ’en Dance at the L an tern Inn to set the social season sw in gin g, and considerably later we had a class dance at the T ou rain e. A new form o f extra-curricular a ctivity started this year, the Inter-class B o w lin g League. D r.

o f D rs. S p ritz and Em m ons, we managed to w ade our w a y throu gh the intricacies o f O cular A n a to m y . S cholastically, we really g o t rollin g T h e o re tic Optics, P h ysio lo g ic O ptics, Practical O ptics (d e fin ite ly ), O p tom etry, L ab ., C lin ic; all the subject m atter th at w o u ld count; things that w e should k n o w ; practical, d o w n -to earth, useful m aterial. A t last we seemed to be m aking progress. The C lin ic w o rk w as especially interesting. Rem em ber h o w y o u felt in those w h ite coats the first time? A n d h o w y o u envied the Senior y o u assisted as he w orked and talked so p rofessionally? A n d h o w impressive all those in strum ents looked! I believe it to o k nearly all o f the first quarter before we could run a keratom eter. A fte r a week or so m ost o f us kn ew w h ich end to lo o k into, bu t it w as considerably later that we discovered h o w h elpfu l it is tp have the dust caps removed and the mires lighted. F ortun ately for our professional pride there w as a lw a ys the ophthalm oscope to fa ll back on. A fte r havingchased any num ber o f elusive foveae w ith the thin g as Freshmen, we could at least use that instrum ent w ith confidence, and a lw a ys find the fundus most alw ays, a n y w a y . B u t as the year w ent on, assignments o f increasing difficulty blossomed ou t on the old bulletin board every week and before long every last one o f us could perform every last test on the V isu a l Survey Record. P lu s a fe w m o re “ short cuts’ ’ w h ich were th o ro u g h ly pounced upon b y our facu lty. Practice and T h e o r y w orked together, and b y the end o f the Junior year began to make us feel like O ptom etrists. O utside the school, also, there were factors w o rk in g in our favor. Our day at the State House, and the hearing on the O p tom etry B ill show ed us forty
ju st w h a t sort o f men were in this profession, and gave us an idea o f the w o rk w hich we m ay som eday do. E ven if the B ill accomplishes noth ing, the sort o f action taken on it then, on that day, m ay indirectly serve its purpose b y being an inspiration to us, the next generation o f O ptom etrists. T h e C on ven tio n , too, w as a valuable experience. F or the first tim e w e could realize ju st w h at various instrum ents were, and talk in telligen tly w ith the men about them. W e could attend the lectures and k n o w in part, at least, w h at w as being said. Classroom w o rk began to fit in w ith o u t side experiences, and s lo w ly bu t surely we began to feel that we ourselves w o u ld be a part o f all o f this. T h e same for Southbridge, a visit there had much the same effect. I t ’s plain to see th at our education has made some progress b y this time. Y es, yo u m igh t say so. It w as a big year. T h e third and last!
O ur Senior Y ear!
M o st o f the group managed to land back here at 1 1 1 2 B o y lsto n intact bu t there were a fe w changes. W e lost B ill R eynolds, and later, our re doubtable Sergeant-at-A rm s, T o n y Salerno, (w h ich p ro b ab ly explains w h y the class has run w ild ever sin ce ). G rou p B m oved from the room a d jo in ing the S outh C am pus to more spacious and sun n y surroundings on the street side w here the air is better, the view is cheerful and even the incessant blast o f autom obile horns more pleasant than the efforts o f the mad pianist across the rear court. A n y elation over our new quarters w as p ro m p tly squelched b y the com pensatory action o f a m uch more difficult course o f studies. O u r Ju n ior year had been a “ b u ild -u p ” , a mere prelude to the real w o rk required. O p tom etry became infinitely more p u zzlin g , T h eo retic overflow ed our heads and
forty-one
notebooks w ith abstract form ulas, P h ysio lo g ic became alm ost M etaphysical O ptics and Practical was d o w n rig h t vicious. B u t it gained results. Soon w e could go throu gh a complete ocular exam ination, an alyze our patien t’s problem s, suggest the proper remedy, and go throu gh all the steps in m aking up the correction (theoretically, o f course; n o b o d y ever did all this at once, it w o u ld p ro bably have taken a w e e k ). O ur outside patients filled the clinic, we did our w o rk , set our prices and carried on in a tru ly professional manner. A n d L ord help him w h o geteth not his tw e n ty cases! W e exam ined the eyes o f friends, relatives, and sweethearts — anyone w h o w o u ld subm it to our endeavors. E v e ry b o d y w h ipped up a sort o f thesis on M yo p ia , and w e all did the conventional am ount o f cursing over the z y lo fram e stretchers and the broken lenses in the rimless jobs. O utside clinic activities gave some interesting experiences. T h ere were several that the class visited: C h arlestow n , St. Joseph’s A cadem y, the R o x b u ry B o y s ’ H om e and the B o sto n D ispensary. In most instances, the idea w as to give a rapid b u t th o ro u g h visual survey, “ weed o u t” the cases in need o f care and send them in to the School clinic. It w as fine w o rk , the students h onestly try in g to help the children and at the same time often finding an unusual and interesting ocular condition. T o w a r d the latter part o f the year m any o f the class members visited the clinic at T re m o n t Street and made their exam inations under the supervision o f the State Society o f O ptom etrists. T h e o r y and Practice again, righ t to the last! T h e re were other phases to our life t h o u g h — 'an oth er H a llo w e ’en Dance, a Sophom ore affair at the F o x and H ounds, a fraternity roof-garden p arty at one o f the local hotels and a Senior A lo h a H op . T h is last mentioned event really deserves some com m ent. It w as held b y the Sophom ore Class w ith the idea o f givin g the Seniors a final social sendoff, and themselves, as w ell as everyone else in the school, afine time. It succeeded in all respects. T h e good music and pleasant surroundings o f the C o p le y P la za Sw iss R oom helped im m easurably, and alth o u gh a fe w o f the students and facu lty did a b it o f research on the bar test, not one came off the M erry-go-roun d w ith a h igh case o f induced cyclophoria. B o th the Southbridge trip and the C o n ven tio n were included in our list o f activities, and b o th were even more enjoyable and enlightening than before. E a rly in A p ril, D r. Julius N eum ueller lectured here, under the auspices o f the O p tom etry C lu b , and, according to m any o f the class members, he turned out to be as fine an all-round fe llo w as he is a scientist. A p ril 1 8th fou n d the official SCOPE photographer snooping around for candid shots o f the shop and clinic, as- w ell as the usual class pictures. T h is , and the w arnings o f the approaching finals began to h in t o f the finish o f our scholastic career. A n d n o w , m y friends, it is over. B y the time this gets into print, the Class o f ’ 39 w ill be scattered com pletely — never again w ill our little group be gathered together. O f course w e ’ll lose our contacts, graduating classes a lw a ys do, b u t in the fo llo w in g s h o r t‘ w ord pictures we have tried to brin g ou t a few o f the sm all facts and characteristics o f some o f our classmates in the hope o f keeping our memories o f the group a little brighter — forty-tw o

Dear Sophom ore: I 'll never forget the lo o k y o u had on you r face last Septem ber 15, w hen y o u fell upstairs into the w ron g room . D o y o u remember h o w y o u were shuffled back and forth between the different room s and h o w you fou gh t for you r seat? Either y o u w anted to sit in the first ro w (Joe K n o w led ge) or the last ro w (Joe C o lle g e ) . M uch back-slapping and h an d-shaking was in evidence th at day as we recounted and discounted our o w n and oth er’s summer escapades. Sid G oldberg, D o n Estey, and L e w B eck w ith were absent the first couple o f days and o f the trio B e ck w ith w as the o n ly one to p u t in an ap pearance, lim p ing like C ap tain K id d and telling a dubious tale o f a b lo ck o f ice givin g h im the cold shoulder. W e felt that one o f his ah, shall we say, enlarged, la d y friends crushed his pedal phalanges w h ile trip pin g the lig h t fantastic. B u t after all, w e could have been w ro n g! M a x H ershm an, L lo y d B azelon (C o u n t B a sie), P aul L ap p in , J o h n C o y le , Isidore Bergeron, F ran k Pierce, Joseph B o rn gio rn o and Elsa Schroder (especially!) join ed the ranks this annum and were soon into the fu ll sw in g o f things. forty-seven

D r. (-f- and — ) C lin e made things very “ signtific” all throu gh the year. Julius G ilder still can’t understand w h y anyone w o u ld w a n t to take a shot at a fish in a b o w l. '“ P ro b a b ly break the glass w a ll and spill the water all over the clean flo o r,” he says. M m m . . . . could be! A s for Practical O ptics — the phrase “ N am ias is our nemesis” was coined sometime during the year b y C h arlie B o w m a n m oaning throu gh a P . O . exam. September 21 b ro u gh t the hurricane but it w as n oth in g compared to some o f the “ w in d ” furnished d aily b y some sym phonic Sophom ores. T h e storm had its good points th o u gh . Savin, Sklar, M ayer and R o g o lsk y w h o were going to cut a few clases and take in a sh o w were so afraid that the sign outside the “ F e n w a y ” w as going to fall th at they didn’ t dare pass under it. E xam s came soon enough (as they a lw a ys do) and we foun d that the usual F w as replaced b y the w o rd “ co n d ition ” p ro bably because certain (authorities became aware o f the fact th at an F could be converted into an A w ith bu t the addition o f one straight line. W ebster defines condition as fo llo w s : “ T h a t w h ich lim its or modifies the existence o f som ething.” (E x p la n a tio n — G ettin g a condition on your card means that y o u remain at hom e nights u n til said condition is rem oved.) A lso — “ Situation, cir cumstances, station, p ligh t, predicam ent.” (E x p la n a tio n — T h e last tw o are very illu m in a tin g ) also “ Social position, rank. (E xp la n a tio n | If you receive a condition, y o u are rank.) M o ra l: U nder no condition should you receive a condition. A s the w eather became cooler and frigid blasts began to w histle d o w n from the A rtie, fewer and few er Sophom ores were tem pted to step outside on the “ cam pus” to en joy a breath o f air during the noon recess. One especially cold day we peeked ou t to see a solitary figre, A rtu ro “ H eat W a v e ” B y rd w a lk in g up and d o w n w ith a cold drink in his hand, m opping his fevered b ro w and s lo w ly m uttering, “ Eet ees too ’o t ! ” Fifteen years hence w e expect to tune in on A r t doing a subjective fo g on an E skim o somewhere in the vicin ity o f the N o rth Pole. D o yo u remember w hen “ K id ” W o lfs o n ventured that, “ Before y o u have patients y o u must have a lo t o f patience” ? B o y , h o w he suffered b«h cause o f that one!

Speaking o f shop — George H ym off, G ordon H unter and N at A aron son have a brand new idea. T h e y all are letting their finger nails grow . W h en they are long enough th e y ’re going to grind tone surfaces on them. B y h o ld in g them up before their eyes — they can be used as au xiliary lens. (Rem em ber D r. G reen’s advice about those — x .00 s) I Sit t i g h t this is a good one. W h ile discussing a problem concern ing the angle o f elevation o f the sun, D r. C lin e said that it could be ascertained w h ile lost in a forest b y noting the length o f the shadow o f a tree k n o w for ty -eight
ing its height. T h e question o f the possession o f a log b o ok came up. H arold T o y im m ediately popped up w ith , 'Say, there s p len ty o f logs in the forest.” W ard says that Corrente made the remark but B ill passed the buck to T o y , so he gets the credit ( ? ) . T h e fo llo w in g should be adopted as the Class song: “ I th in k that I shall never see A ” D ” as lo v e ly as a “ B ” A “ B ” w hose rounded curves are pressed A g ain st m y h ap py jo y-filled chest. “ D ” 's are made b y fools Ike me, G od o n ly k n o w s w h o makes a “ B ” !

I then w ith d rew the cork from the second b o ttle and did likew ise, w ith the exception o f one glass, w hich I drank. I then extracted the cork from the third b o ttle w h ich I devoured. I pulled the cork from the fo u rth sink and the bottle from the cork o f the next and drank one sink o u t o f it, then threw the rest d o w n m yself. I pulled the sink ou t o f the next cork and poured the bottle d o w n m y throat. I pulled the next bottle from m y throat and poured the cork d o w n the sink, all but the sink, w h ich I drank.

I also counted them again w h en they came around and I had 74 and as the house came around again, I again counted them.

T h e doors o f the M assachusetts School o f O p tom etry sw un g w ide to adm it men and w om en b u b b lin g over w ith am b ition to further the profession o f O p tom etry. T h e y had assembled from near and far and were about to p u t fo rth every effort in their eagerness to absorb the know led ge necessary fo r individual success in any chosen profession. T h e process o f learning w as to be their jo b for the next four years and the Massachusetts School o f O p tom etry w as to be their so-called ' ‘h o m e'’ , for in it they w o u ld spend the greater part o f their tim e. T h erefore, along w ith learning, another jo b — that o f m aking the fo llo w in g fou r years ones that w o u ld a lw a ys be fa vo ra b ly remembered — w as entrusted to them. A few weeks later all these Freshm en, h avin g become full-fledged citizens o f M . S. O . (as the school is affectionately c a lle d ), exercised their p olitical rights to elect officers.

In order to m aintain a state o f equilibrium , we were soon granted social rights. T h ere came, first o f all, the F ratern ity Sm oker September 30, 193 8 — to w h ich all the boys in the freshm an class were cordially invited. T h is smoker w as for the purpose o f acquainting the fresh men (I mean freshm en) w ith the older fraternity members and inform in g them o f the advantages o f becom ing a F ratern ity member. T o balance this affair, a girls’ p arty w as given for a sim ilar purpose. T h e next social event w as the “ Fresh m an S m oker” , held on O ctober 24, 19 3 8 , another affair sponsored b y the upper classmen. T hese affairs b ro u gh t forth much talent in our class, w h at w ith W alter M cK enna p rovin g to be an ace trum peter, and Horace C o b b a tru ly fine guitar player.

It is for the latter purpose that P i O m icron Sigm a functions at Massachusetts School o f O ptom etry and due to the cooperation it has received has been increasingly successful in taking care o f this part o f our school life.

T h e fra ternity progressed well for a w hile, but as tim e w ent on interest began to dw indle, and by 19 2 5 it was barely fun ction in g.. It w as at this p o in t th at D r. Green, a man to w h om the fraternity ow es much, realized the im portance o f an organization o f this kind in the school life, and fanned the spark that was left un til it burst into flame. From that year on the fratern ity has flourished more and more, w ith interest and activities increasing in direct p ro portion, un til at present we have an active mem bership o f 70, w ith the total membership being w ell over the 1000 m ark. T h is is som ething to be proud o f, and all those brothers w h o have had to do w ith the success o f P i O m icron Sigma are to be congratulated. Some o f the h igh ligh ts o f this years activities, I feel, w o u ld n ot be out o f place at this time. T h e year started off w ith a sm oker for a group o f fellow s from w h om we were to later choose a new list o f members. A fte r the pledgees were chosen our next activity to o k on the form o f an in itiation , w hich lasted a fu ll week, the fullness o f w h ich can be testified to b y an y o f the new members, they being the ones at the business end o f the h u m b lin g process. T h is being over w ith , the ones w h o were to be the new members were p ut throu gh the final rites and rituals b y the officers, thus brin gin g into the fraternity a group o f fello w s o f w h o m we are all proud, and for w h om w e have the highest expectations. N e x t on our schedule came the p overty dance at A rlin g to n , w h ich g o t things goin g in a good m anner b y affording an op p o rtu n ity for the new members to get better acquainted w ith the older members, th rou gh a strictly inform al, yes, very, very in form al a f fair, and alth ough unique, due to its extreme in fo rm a lity o f dress, it proved to be a success in every w a y. T h r o u g h o u t the year the fratern ity sponsored various lectures o f a very interesting nature, w h ich were w ell attended, and to all present were a source o f valuable in form atio n . In F ebruary came the gala dance o f the year, the annual frat form al, w h ich this year w as in the form o f a dinncr-dance, and was held in the penthouse o f the H otel B ra d ford. A large percentage o f the brothers attended and certainly show ed a fine taste for picking members o f the fairer sex, as was evidenced b y the charm and gracefulness present. T h e orchestra and floor sh ow , under the direction o f M ickey A lpert, added much to the evening w h ich w as one o f the m ost pleasant, and certainly one o f the outstanding h ig h ligh ts o f this year’s social activities. T h e m onth o f M a y brought w ith it the affair w h ich a lw a ys gets a m axim um turnout o f the brothers, ahd. is a lw a ys one o f the m ost success ful affairs o f the year, nam ely, the annual fraternity banquet. T h is year as has been for the past tw o years, it w as held in the H otel M anger, and the success o f the occasion w as b y no means inferior to th at o f form er years, in fact yours tru ly feels quite safe in saying that it w as the best yet. T h is affair, w h ich b y the w a y was stag, not o n ly gave -us a grand social evening am ongst our o w n active membership, bu t also gave us an o p p o rtu n ity to meet members o f form er years, some o f w h o m we knew as active members fifty-seven
during our undergraduate days, and some o f w h o m graduated before we entered. T h e evening, w ith D r. Brucker as toastmaster, was the last gettogether w h ich we had as a fraternity and thus brought our activities for the year to a close. A s the school year, and the final year for we seniors, is n o w over, it is w ith reminiscences o f the m any pleasant associations w h ich we have had to gether that I turn the final page o f our fraternity h istory, and n o w as we pass up our active mem bership to become alum ni members it is w ith the highest expectations that we pass the torch o f P i O m icron Sigm a over to our undergraduate brothers, w h o m we feel are capable in every respect o f shoulder ing the responsibility o f con trollin g A m erica’s oldest optom etric fraternity in a manner w h ich w ill do honor to us all.

OM EGA ESI Om ega Psi, the newest fraternal order at M assachusetts School o f O p tom etry w as founded in the spring o f 19 3 9 . It resulted from the a ctiv ity o f a group o f sophom ores, w h o felt the need o f an org a n iza tio n th rou gh w h ich each could express the feeling o f brotherhood that should exist be tween a man and his friends. A d h erin g to this ideal, Om ega Psi, after its first few m onths o f e x istence, has established itself as a definite factor in the extra-curricular life at Massachusetts School o f O p tom etry. It is, how ever, in no w a y co m petitive w ith the sch ool’s other and older fraternity, b u t m erely supplem entary to it. T h e fraternity w as officially launched on M arch 2, w hen the co n stitu tion was adopted and officers elected. T h e first officers o f the fratern ity were L ew is B eckw ith , C han cellor; W illia m Corrente, V ice-C h an cello r; P a u l L a p pin, Scribe and H arold T o y , Treasurer. T h ro u g h o u t its short period o f existence at M assachusetts School o f O ptom etry, the group has found itself w ell represented in other phases o f school life, w ith the president and vice-president o f the sophom ore class being numbered am ong its members. T h e group is also w ell represented in the O p tom etry C lu b , w ith on e-h alf o f its members h avin g achieved this honor, a record o f w h ich it is ju stly proud, and hopes to m aintain in the future. So, w ith a feeling o f satisfaction for the past, Om ega Psi n o w looks to the future, in anticipation o f a rapid bu t well-directed expansion. fifty-nine

E P S I L C N C M I C P C N S IG M A W o m en in O p tom etry! T h e profession o f O p tom etry offers op p or tunities to the w om an w hose interest lies in this direction. T h e steady g ro w th o f our profession has enlarged the field such that it seems natural that w om en should have some part in O p tom etry. O rth o p tic w o rk , field study, and the solving o f reading problem s, are a few o f the phases o f the w o rk for w h ich members o f our sex have sh ow n particular aptitude, and there can be no d oubt but w h at the future w ill lead us farther into these fields. W e must not lose sight o f the fact that we are wom en. B u t I do not mean that our fem in in ity should be used to gain special favors. W e should not try to im itate man w hen we are doing w h at has hitherto been con sidered m en’s w o rk. W e should keep to those h igh principles w h ich have been taught us here, and the splendid examples that have been set before us in our three years w o rk . W e should be true to ourselves, and to the p ro fession, we w om en w h o are doing an im portant part o f the w o rld ’s w ork. T h e re are four am ong us w h o have completed our school w o rk , but this is not the end, for in this w o rld everything that marks an end, also marks a beginning. T h e end o f one day is the commencement o f another. T h e end o f one task, the beginning o f a new one. So it is w ith our education. W h a t we have learned at school, valuable sixty
as it is, is o n ly a beginning. T h e end o f our school w o rk merely means the commencement o f those experiences w h ich w ill put to the test the principles we have learned. T h e success we make o f our careers w ill be due to our o w n initiative. W e four, M adelyn D yer, Eleanor L yn ch , R u th Masse, and the w riter, have come to the realization that our active w o rk in our S orority has come to an end. T h e thought has come to me, “ Just w h at does the S orority mean to each o f us?” It means more than a club, for we w o u ld lose interest in any club w hen we left the com m unity in w h ich it existed, w h ile we hope alw ays to be members, active or alum nae, o f the E psilon O m icron Sigm a Sorority. W e have, and a lw a ys w ill have, a personal interest in our members, although doubtless there are m any w h om we shall never meet. W e are like a fa m ily o f sisters, w h o have our differences and yet, like true sisters, we fo r get our differences and our individual ideas for the advancem ent o f the Sorority. W e started ou t this year w ith Eleanor as our president, and h o w w ell she did her part! O u r first official ceremony was held at H a llo w e ’en tim e. A t this time, the nominees were accepted as pledges. T h e y were: Elsa Schroder, Janet Mechanic, and E ve lyn A d ler. O u r next problem was the matter o f initiation, w h ich we to o k care o f in our o w n little w a y . O ur girls did lo ok rather odd, w earing w h ite cloth in g in N ovem ber, very much bedecked w ith jew elry, and carrying dolls wherever they w ent! T o top that off, pigtails were in evidence the next day, along w ith the p reviously m entioned dress. T h e usual eggs were autographed, the b o ys were taken to lunch, and a grand w a lk in the F e n w a y was had b y all. A fte r all this, we added another member, M aria F o n t, w h o w as not present at the time o f the initiation . W e om itted the in itiation , seeing that she w o u ld be alone in her m isery! T h e n came the unique and inspiring candle-light service, during w h ich the pledgees were ushered w ith in our portals. D u rin g the year, we succeeded in finding time for a little en joym en t and a little excitem ent. O ne Sunday afternoon, w h ich we had planned to spend at the N a v y Y a rd , turned out to be a rainy one. Hence, w e spent several delightful hours at the Isabel Stew art G ardner M useum , w ith dinner afterw ards at one o f the local restaurants. S h o rtly after this, a dinner for all S orority members, active and alum nae, w as held during the N e w E nglan d C ou n cil C o n ven tio n at the H otel Statler. It was decided that this dinner be an annual reunion o f the S o ro rity members. O ur annual dinner-dance w as the last affair o f the year, held at one o f the local night-clubs. A ll participants enjoyed the evening trem endously. A n d so, the year n o w closes, w ith we departing members reluctant to leave. It is our sincerest w ish that the Epsilon O m icron Sigm a S orority gro w larger, and that fraternalism lives on throu gh the years.

T h e Student C ou n cil is composed o f the Presidents o f the various organ ization s and classes o f the school, and is the highest court consisting entirely o f students. It is to this bo d y that all gross violation s must eventually be subm itted, before action can be taken in an y case. It is the d u ty o f all members o f this b o d y to instill the spirit o f professionalism that is so sadly lacking in the m ajority o f the under-graduates, so th at optom etry m ay eventually be placed on the pedestal to w h ich we believe it is entitled. T h e instilling o f professionalism on the part o f this bo d y is accomplished merely b y the pow er o f suggestion. Since the students that make up the group are the various organization and class heads, it must also then be composed o f those persons w h ich the entire student b o d y deem w o rth y o f being leaders. T h is entails not o n ly p op ularity, bu t also the a b ility o f leadership and personality that the classes consider h ig h ly enough to be representative o f them. T h u s , if these selected few carry w ith them an air o f professionalism , there is a distinct tendency for this spirit to permeate throu gh ou t the entire school.O f course this is at all times substantiated by the faculty and clinical staff, bu t the burden rests m ainly on the representa sixty-tvuo
tive students, since they are the associates o f the student b o d y, and constantly interm ingling w ith them. In the last three years there has not been a single case bro u gh t to the attention o f the C ou n cil that necessitated an y drastic consequences to any member o f the student b o d y. It is for this reason that I poin t w ith p ard o n able pride to those men that graduate from M assachusetts School o f O p tom etry as being o f h igh character and m orals. T h ese are the men that shall carry optom etry forw ard, and it is these same men that m ust even tual ly raise our profession to the heights we contend it so richly deserves. A n oth er du ty o f this b o d y is to consider all problem s that m ay arise, w h ich involve the entire student b o d y. A g a in I m ight say th at no m ajor problem has arisen th at could not be settled before reaching this court. T h is in itself is indicative o f the h igh reasoning p ow er that is, and m ust be present in order for optom etry to carry on. F in a lly , this group is the consultant b o d y representing the students, in all discussions w ith the faculty or office, where the problem at hand in volves b o th groups. T h e m ajority o f problem s and discussions b ro u gh t before this bo d y have been settled q u ickly and easily. T h e one exception is the continual difficulty encountered in inculcating the attitude o f professionalism in the student b o d y, this is especially true o f the newer students. V a rio u s codes o f ethics have appeared interm ittently, but n ot enough attention has been paid to them. I f all students, and practitioners, w o u ld obtain one o f these codes, I am certain that all w o u ld benefit from them, and op tom etry w o u ld begin to ascend to a height it has never before attained.

T h is C o u rt, how ever, does not w ish to assume an authoritative position in the school, bu t it rather wishes to consider itself an advisory group, and a further check upon the activities and conduct o f the members o f the first tw o classes o f the school. A lth o u g h this o rgan ization is controlled entirely b y the students, it m ight be said that, according to the rules governing the C o u rt itself, tw o members o f the faculty m ust be chosen to represent the interests o f justice and righteousness.

C L IN IC C lin ic practice form s an integral part in the training o f the professional optom etrist. It offers not o n ly the o b vio u sly logical means o f attain in g th at sk ill in technique required to fu lfill the demands o f the profession, bu t also p lays a m ajor ro ll in developing character, and offers evidence to the student o f the necessity o f developing the h ig h ethical principles w h ich are required o f anyone w h o deals w ith the intim ate lives o f his fello w m en . In addition the clinic affords the student his first actual contact w ith the patient, by means o f w h ich that indefinable som ething k n o w n as the “ professional m anner’ ’ is gradu ally and, in some cases w ith great difficulty, acquired. T h e w o rd “ clin ic’ ’ to m ost people im plies inferior service and little or no expense. H ow ever, in spite o f the fact that the M assachusetts O ptom etric C lin ic an n u ally cares for thousands o f needy persons entirely at it's o w n expense, yet each one o f these unfortunates Is given exactly the same tim e, care and attention as are the numerous patients w h o come to the clinic be cause o f it ’s widespread repute and pay the fu ll price for services and materials. T h e M assachusetts O ptom etric C lin ic is a non p rofit-m akin g in stitu tion, and could not exist w ith o u t constant and generous donations o f in terested philanthropists. Its staff, headed b y D r. R a lp h Green, ab ly assisted b y D r. W illia m V . Em m ons, is made up o f members o f the facu lty and graduate students. Glasses prescribed in the clinic are com pounded in the school’s o w n optics laborartory, and this factor not o n ly affords speedy and accurate service to the patient, but also a llo w s the students an op p o rtu n ity to observe the process b y w h ich their prescriptions are filled and this gives sixty-seven
them a thorough groun din g in the essentials o f ophthalm ic optics and the principles o f spectacle construction. In no other branch o f professional service is mechanical perfection so closely allied w ith abstract know ledge and skilled technique as in O p tom etry; and the value o f the system in operation at this school is apparent in the cooperative fun ction in g o f the clinic and the optics laboratory.
