SENIOR CLASS HISTORY
“ W e ll, M ai, the last exam is over and passed, I hope, and n ow all w e have to do is to crack our state boards — and then we really start to w o r r y .” “ Y o u k n o w , D o n , these three years surely have gone b y r a p id ly — ■ w h y it seems o n ly a short w hile ago that I received m y M . S. O . catalog and decided to enroll. I th in k everyone had made a mental picture o f the school before com ing, — I k n o w I did — especially as to the location and surroundings. H ow ever w ith every step up B o ylsto n Street that mental picture slo w ly faded and b y the time that I had reached 1 1 1 2 I was ready to be carried off to the m orgue — I certainly co u ld n ’t have been nearer one, there being a funeral parlor next door. A fte r wandering between those odd little booths, w h ich I later discovered to be the M . S. O . clinical room s, and dow nstairs into the shop to be p ro m p tly th ro w n out w ith that n o w fam iliar, “ Y o u d o n ’t belong d ow n here” — I was taken into the custody o f D r. M cCabe and sh ow n the w a y to the office. T h e time between m y first apprehensive entrance into the school and m y locating the office h adn’t helped m y nerves any and as yo u probably remember — I practically stum bled up the stairs and into the office.” “ D o I remember? Y o u came d o w n the h a llw a y as meek as a lamb. I could easily tell that y o u were new , same as m yself. In fact, every Freshm an stood out unm istakeably from the upper-classmen. T h e y stood around in groups and chatted in a ‘possesive and professional m anner’ w hile we, the uninitiated, stood on first one fo o t and then the other afraid to speak and waited for the gruff call o f ‘H arum ph — N e x t’, w hich w o u ld mean that it was our turn to be interviewed b y the Dean. “ T h ere were, how ever, a few fello w s that had me fooled. Sam S w a rtz had som ehow gained possession o f a large leather chair and was chatting am iably w ith B ob Shannon as they surveyed the campus o f to o t ing horns and crowded sidewalks, little realizing that someday these various and sundry noises w o u ld be as a soft lu lla b y to A 1 H anson — carrying him gently into the ‘L an d o f N o d ’ where he could dream o f the ‘gal in the gingham g o w n ’ he had left behind — at the depot at South Swansea. “ Soon the big moment came and in m y best undergraduate manner I w alked into the inner sanctuary w ith m y pockets fu ll o f m oney, m y mind reeling w ith questions, and m y heart pounding w ith the expectancy o f being adm itted to a professional institution. O d d ly enough, I found practically no difficulty in being relieved o f m y capital, and as soon as I had registered, m y nerves had settled. “ T h o se first few days were full, w eren’t they? — w ith meeting all the rest o f the fellow s, the girls, faculty and learning about our courses.
thirty-four
O ur first class, I remember, was A n ato m y — the w hole period being taken up w ith w ritin g our names and addresses on cards and then being seated alphabetically. W e and the faculty realize n o w that this was a waste o f time as 'C hu ck' W eathers moved from the last seat to the front one in the center the next day, and by beating B ob A lie and ‘D o n Bernstein to school every m orning has had it ever since. W e rapidly ran through our courses w ith the few minutes in between spent in the rest room where there was supposedly no sm oking and the piano was not to be played. ( Brud W entzell and ‘M a yn ie’ Rosen sure could pound out ‘I love Coffee I L ove T ea — and the room alw ays did acquire a sort o f bluish haze during these rest periods.) “ A t last, after a m orning o f uneasiness and general confusion lunch hour came and we were on our o w n ’ — “ free to make acquaintances w hich w o u ld later lead to friendships to exist for years to come. T h e question at hand was where to eat? T here were restaurants, cafeterias, and delicates sens galore — this was really a venture requiring delicate decision. A fter a prolonged period o f ou tw ard inspection most o f the gang decided that the W a ld o rf “ Special” looked the best for the price and decided to take a chance. “ P h il” Bouvier rapidly got acquainted w ith a cute waitress named M ary and decided to have a coat-hook reserved for him every day. “ A fte r sam pling every “ Blue Plate Special” between Massachusetts and H u n tin gto n Avenues the Class adopted “ T h e P tom aine” , a pretentious spot, w hich though scarcely larger than a refracting booth was alw ays kept crowded b y A b e ’s gutteral bark o f ‘P len ty room, Gentlemen — plenty ro o m !’ “ Classes slo w ly got under w a y and in a w eek’s time we were deep in the mysteries o f T rig o n o m etry, and engaged w ith the ‘b lo o d ’ o f anatom y. “ O ur bi-w eekly gym classes were a form o f relaxation where m any and varied were the battles fough t between sections ‘A ’ and ‘B ’ . T o ta lin g all sports together the scores were about even, ‘A ’ dom inating in basketball because o f Friedm an and Levandoski, star hoopsters, w hile Parm ett batted ‘B ’ to victory on the vo lleyball courts. W h ile these larger conflicts were go ing on m any dual wars were being fough t w ith W iskalis, b o xin g champ; B u d ilo v, best in handball and Stuart, the leader in squash. A fter a dip in the pool we returned to classes much refreshed to absorb H elm h oltz and Tscherning. A b o u t this time the Class realizing the necessity o f an intercivic bod y elected officers:— H enry Chevalier, President; M alcolm Harris, VicePresident-, V eronica Meagher, Secretary, A le x Friedm an, Treasurer; A lbert W en tzell, Sergeant-at-arms. “ E veryth in g sailed along fine until the first quarterly marks were edited and we were openly inform ed that our class was the worst, scholastical ly , that had ever attended school. T h e upper-classmen seemed to sense our inferiority, for from then on we were hum an guinea-pigs for the senior class and stepping stones in their clim b for perfection at clinical technique, being subjected to hours o f clinic assignments. Each o f us was examined b y innum erable seniors and dismissed w ith the same innumerable number o f prescriptions. “ O ur class must have been destined to be shopmen.
H o w we learned thirty-five
to neutralize that first year! B erlo w itz, w h o was then shop assistant, thought that we “ rookies” should be given the acid test and piled the w ork on until D r. K 1ein realized, for the health and safety o f all concerned, it w o u ld be wise to demote B e rlo w itz back to the role o f Senior and gave the jo b to ‘C h u ck ’ W eathers. ‘C h u ck ’ laid the w o rk on thick and heavy until one day his favorite chapeau became entangled in an accident w ith a fire extinguisher that Ed C erruti was clow n in g w ith and ‘C h u ck ’ agreed it w o u ld be cheaper to ease off. “ W e were ushered into the social life in a big w a y b y D r. Svendsen. She, sponsoring a bridge party and dance at B u rro u gh ’s Foundation for the benefit o f the clinic and enlisting the aid o f our class. W as it a success? B o th the dance h all and card room was filled to capacity w ith everyone en joyin g him self to the utm ost. B o b R offm an and his ‘M errym akers’ kept the upstairs crow d going w ith hot rh yth m w h ile D r. Svendsen w ith the aid o f the Misses D o n ovan and M eagher settled disputes over card scores dow nstairs. "O u r next affair was the big night o f the year — the Fraternity dinnerdance to w h ich the entire school was invited. M a n y were the preparations made for this event. H ow ever, w hen the n ight arrived we were there in all our d ign ity and finery w ith ‘B ru d ’ W en tzell furnishing entertainment fo r the group and ‘B u tto n ’ H o lt in top -h at and tails strutting around like a Senior. “ P i Om icron Sigm a Fraternity then held its annual pledge period w h ich was ushered in w ith a ‘sm oker’. T h o se fortunate enough to be selected were subm itted to a grueling tw o weeks o f public embarrassment before being taken on the final ‘R id e’. T h is was held on a very cold night in December and especially so for those attired in feminine lingeree. Shannon, Bregm an and R a b in o v itz entertained in fron t o f the M et, sere nading a one-eyed horse w ith their renditions o f ‘S onn y B o y ’ . “ T h is year saw the instigation o f a new creation, nam ely Epsilon O m icron Sigm a. T h is was quite an undertaking due to the limited number o f girl students — barely enough to fill the officer’s chairs. T h e girls were determined, how ever, not to be lost in the scuffle o f social events and led the F raternity a merry chase b y presenting a dance and a series o f lectures. It was not until the end o f the school year that we started to get the sw ing o f things and really become interested in our profession. We left for vacation determined to prove our w o rth and ab ility to become professionals. W e returned as Juniors from a carefree vacation to a school com pletely renovated. Gone was the funeral parlor next door and in its place was the new orthoptic clinic w ith its spacious booths and the latest in optom etric instruments. G one also was our antiquated piano, — the rest room having been converted into a classroom to aid in accom m odating the large incom ing Freshm an Class. O ur shops had also benefited by the re m odeling, m any new instruments and machines having been installed. T h e second floor was no exception in this changing. T h e inner sanctuary was n o w tripley guarded, our charm ing Miss M cCabe being reenforced by the equally charm ing Miss L o w e ll, she in turn protected from the student-body
thirty-six
b y an artistic and substantial (?) gate. T h is year we spent much time, duly attired in our w hite coats assist ing the Seniors in the refraction o f outside patients and putting into practical application, am ong ourselves, the theories expounded in the class-room. It was here that our new body o f instructors, the clinicians, played im portant roles in aiding us in bettering our procedures and starting us on the climb tow ard refined refractive technique. In fact, it w as the Junior year in which we began most o f the practical w o rk in all our courses. Physiologic, T heoretic and Practical Optics laboratories combined w ith our clinical duties afforded us an op p ortu nity to practically apply all our class-room lectures. T h e subjects covered in the Junior year were entirely optometric, in contrast to the pre-optom etric and preparatory studies o f the Freshman year. T h e courses and subjects covered were naturally progressively more difficult. These increased burdens helped to stabilize the Class and much o f the non professional atmosphere was absorbed in the striving for academic perfection. Regardless o f the extensive siege o f difficulties encountered in such topics as dynam ic skiam etry w hich nearly pinned the C lass’ ears back in the breeze, and the intricacies o f T sch ern in g’s unforgetable Reduced Eye problems w hich never did straighten themselves out, the class invariably seemed w illin g to accept a “ wee bit o f h um or” . Election o f class officers this year was rather a simple matter. Leo G ibbons was elected to the presidency and the remainder o f the suite was the same as the previous year. Due to the good w ork and perfect cooperation o f the officers and w ith the few demands o f the class these same officers were retained for the duration o f the remaining tw o years. O ur social calendar had fewer blank pages for the 1 9 3 6 - 3 7 Ye^r than for the previous one. A s we thum b through the pages we reveal lectures, smokers, dances, initiations and form als. O ur attention is directed to one page in particular — F riday night, October 3 1st, whence we all journeyed to A rlin g to n to usher in a new social function w hich has become one o f the m ajor annual even ts— “ T h e Fraternity P overty P a rty ” . T h e success o f this affair is not due to the fact that it is held in the spacious ballroom in a pretentious hotel, neither is it because Filet M ignon or some other form idable food is served, nor is a big name band in session, and it is not because we all dress as L ord and L ad y A sto rb ilt. N a y — none o f these things! O ur p arty is held in petit “ Y e Lanterne In n ” overlooking S p y P on d. O ur refreshments consist o f cider and doughnuts, the band is picked from here and there and our dress is unmentionable. It is strictly a poverty party w ith patches and ginghams predom inating. T h e secret o f its success is good fellow sh ip plus the fact that everyone plans to have a good time, kn ow s he w ill have one and get one w ith every thing strictly “ O ff the R ecord” . In the spring we were the guests o f the Am erican Optical C om pany at Southbridge. T h e day was spent inspecting the plant and learning wholesale production o f optom etric products.

O n returning to school to begin our final year, we were coronated w ith the title o f “ D o cto r” and took the place o f the preceding graduating class as refractionists in the clinic. A lso , we were given the assignment o f greeting the Freshmen and impressing them b y our conduct. W e sponsored a smoker in order to meet them on a basis o f goo d -fello w sh ip and at the same time to influence them w ith our professional attributes. Each professor gave a short talk and welcom ed the incom ing class. It was here that we learned that our o w n A rth u r Harris, A . B ., was to be not o n ly a senior student but an instructor in b io lo g y as w ell. T h e affair turned out very satisfactorily w ith the Frosh meeting all the upper classmen and getting as m any, if n ot more, sandwiches. F rom the time o f our first entrance in the school we had been told that the Junior year w as to be the hardest — and once passed, all w o u ld be clear sailing. It w o u ld seem from the remarks that all we had to do w as to pass our Junior year and then relax — ju st attend classes for the last year and w a lk d o w n the aisle on the first o f June and receive our diplom as. Some o f us w h o to o k heed to these remarks and wasted a w a y the first few weeks were ab ru p tly awakened from the lassitude to find, T a i t ’s dynam ic skiam etry, parts o f a degenerated choroid, the dioptrics o f the crystal line lens, and obliquely crossed prisms in our laps. It was then that we discovered that all was not as had been prophesized and we began to realize that our final year w as to be the hardest and most comprehensive. A s much o f our time as seniors w as to be spent in the clinics, practical ly ap p lyin g our previous classroom theory and perfecting exam ination tech nique, it was w ith no little awe that we anticipated our first patients. As in previous years, it was required o f each senior that he refract and analyze at least 20 cases before being perm itted to graduate. F ortunately enough, h o w ever, our first patients were those “ often-tim es elusive” and “ super-intelligent” bits o f cooperative h u m an ity — the Freshmen. U p o n seating the patient for static ski, the Frosh w o u ld prom pt, “ -|- .75 O . U .” — ’ for after all, h o w could we possibly compare w ith D r. So and So w h o had examined him the week before — and if we knew the finding w h y should we bother — and after all his eyes were all righ t — h ad n ’t everyone else told him so — and he must hurry or he w o u ld miss the 4 : 1 0 to East O shkosh. A lth o u g h most o f the class found considerable difficulty in perfecting technique, ophthalm oscopy alw ays came w ith more or less ease to “ Bernie” Saitz — whose immediate recognition and diagnosis o f incipient p athology was nothing short o f miraculous. S trictly adhering to the hypothesis that every patient was g u ilty o f some ocular p ath o lo gy until proven otherwise, he w ould invariably find the abnorm al and toddle out o f his booth and up to a clinician w ith shouts o f “ save the good eye.” “ L enie” Pacheco in his incessant gropings into the realms o f theory

often uncovered techniques which, although new, were accompanied by drastic com plications. His research uncovered a method o f doing a subjective which im bodied the correction o f both eyes sim ultaneously under vertical dissociation. Lee G ibbons was the unfortunate "guinea p ig ” in this incidence, and after the prisms were removed he was unable to regain single vision and groped his w a y back to T a u n to n seeing double all the w ay. Besides our o w n clinics, to further develop our understanding w ith all types o f patients, various night clinics were arranged. Each student w ent three times to either Jamaica Plain, R o x b u ry or H yde Park. A t the Hom e o f the A n gel G uardian in Jamaica Plain, and the Home o f the L ittle F lo w er in H yde P ark we dealt strictly w ith children, w hile at the Sacred Heart in R o x b u ry the colored element predominated. Each patient was checked for p athology, gross muscle imbalances and defective vision. A n y abnor malities were noted and the patients referred to the school clinic for re fractive treatment and to local hospitals for medical aid. A n other additional opportu nity o f dealing w ith patients came on those days when we journeyed to the B oston Dispensary where we came in contact w ith children having squints and am blopia. T o ta lin g all clinics together we received m any different types o f patients w ith varied abnor malities. G ettin g back to school — we wonder if, when we were inform ed of our w eak scholastic ability, we were not getting the usual Freshman pep talk. If not, then we must have im proved immensely, for at mid-years we dis covered that over h alf o f us were in the O ptom etry C lu b, this august body is composed solely o f students w h o have received an average o f 8 5 % or better in all subjects. A lso our independence, so long the talk o f the school, was directed along the line o f free action and thought which were merged d eftly b y the Dean and our Professors into professional w ays and manner isms. Social activities for the year included the annual affairs such as the Frat form al, the H allow een P overty P arty at " Y e Lanterne In n ” , the inter class dance at the H otel T ou rain e s R u b y R oom and various other functions such as lectures and smokers. T h e new event ushered in by the Fraternity was the sem i-form al V alentine B all held at the A rlm o n t C o u n try C lu b. T h is was such a well-attended and enjoyable affair that it too has taken its place as one o f the annual events on our calendar. D r. K lein in a practical dem onstration o f his sportsmanship and ap preciation o f com petitive sports sponsored an inter-class b o w lin g tournament. T h e idea was readily accepted by the students, and teams were selected. Senior " A ” was successful in defeating senior " B ” . T h e n determined not to be taken to the cleaners b y the under-classmen, the senior team composed o f W eathers, M acN eill, Perry, Kinsley, and Bernstein scored a sweeping victory over the latter. T h e y were nearly “ taken” b y the girls til W o lf C zelusniak equipped the team w ith blinders so that they could keep their eyes on the pins. A s part o f our shop w o rk we were required to set up and m ount lenses.

ized on our needs, furnishing us w ith the best in R h odium m ountings, guaranteed not to break (m u ch ). A lpert, after a difficult and tedious siege was successful in fin ish ing his first jo b . U p o n inspection, D r. M acD onald la u gh in gly asked, “ W h a t’s the trouble w ith the jo b — any idea?’’ Dave rechecked and passed it back saying, “ It looks O . K. to me, there are no w obbles in it .” D r. M acD onald responded w ith , “ I t’s perfect bu t the temples are on upside d o w n .’ ’ P ro b ab ly A lp ert thought the patient w ould g ro w into it. Pyne, upon being asked the color o f certain z y l frames al w ays replied D em i-B londe, no matter w h at the color was. U p o n being belittled b y D r. N am ias he nonchalantly replied, " T h in k nothing o f it D oc D em i-Blondes are m y favorites.” One o f the most striking examples o f the intense professional interest o f the student bo d y was the unanim ous attendance at the State House when several bills pertaining to O ptom etry were being presented to the Com m ittee on P u b lic H ealth. O ur feelings in regard to these matters were presented briefly but very fo rcefu lly and in the best professional manner b y m y co historian, D o n ald H orley. H is simple oration containing facts about the school, courses and professional training, coupled w ith his sincerity and clarity o f deliverance held the attention o f the members o f the Com m ittee throu gh ou t and I ’m sure carried as much w eigh t as the more len gthy and form al addresses o f others.
Again in the spring of our Senior year we were the guests of the American Optical Company at their factory in Southbridge. This time we went not for the good time alone but to definitely absorb all that was to be seen or heard. We profited by our experience of the year before, and knowing that to see all of the plant would take a full week, concentrated our attention on the more important phases of the manufacture. The various stages in the manufacture of the solid gold parts of frames attracted a great deal of interest, especially the vaults where the gold bullion was stored. In spite of the well-laid plans of Louis Mega and Benny Grossman to slip a few of the bars into their pockets, opportunity did not present itself and they had to be contented with just looking. Following the lunch and speeches in which some of the latest developments in Optometric instrumentation were explained, we journeyed to the baseball diamond for an hour of basbeall. We returned from Southbridge with just two more weeks of school left. One can imagine the reaction of the class — not a date was made, not a class was cut, and the usual banter was strangely absent — W E W ERE P R E P A R IN G

Is it possible that at last we have reached the end o f our scholastic journ ey and are n ow fitted to step into active participation in our great profession? W e now realize the truth o f D r.

JUNIOR CLASS I IISTf i y iuf -Adkusi fe, Masick, {jn.. It was w ith considerable interest, and a grow ing feeling o f importance that the class o f ’ 39 reentered the doors o f M . S. O. to embark upon the second third o f their undergraduate'career. W ednesday, September 15, 1 9 3 7 w as the date upon w hich we first actually realized that we were Juniors, upperclassmen no less— and n ow the year is over, exams safely passed (we hope) and there remains o n ly one short hard dash before w e ’re out o f the w oods and into the open, to be left there exposed to all the w orld, covered o n ly b y our cloak o f professional dignity and armed w ith a little black book and a cranium stuffed fu ll o f miscellaneous facts and fancies.
But, perhaps, before we start worrying about what will happen to us after it is all over, it would be as well to stick to the matter in hand, and that at the moment means a mental review for all of us of the year just passed in the hope that the perspective from this distance will be such that the really important things stand out and the minor details, which may have seemed of tremendous significance at the time, will assume their true proportions and receive no more attention than they deserve. forty-five

T h a t, in our opinion, is about the o n ly useful purpose w hich a class history can hope to achieve, w ith the possible exception o f affording some slight amusement to its readers. W e ’ve often wondered just w h at the first class historian had in m ind w hen he conceived the idea, not that we doubt but w h at he had a perfectly logical and legitim ate excuse, but just because w e ’d like some idea o f w h at is expected b y the editor and the students when they demand a “ class h isto ry ’ ’. O f course, one definite reason that cannot be overlooked is that it ’s a custom, and certainly people do m any foolish things merely because they are custom ary. A n d w ith that, and the statement in the last paragraph as our o n ly excuse for inflicting this article on you we shall proceed, h op ing that w h at appears on the surface as a necessary evil may afford pleasure or amusement to someone. It w as rather fun com ing in to the first class on that Sepetember m orning, greeting friends you h ad n ’t seen for three m onths, looking around to see w h o h ad n ’t show ed up, and if there were any newcomers other than those w ith the lost lo ok on their faces that sim ply yelled, "Freshm an’’ . It was fun feeling yourself back in fam iliar surroundings, being able to meet instructors w ith a feeling o f genuine friendship and respect rather than w ith an inw ard thought of, “ W onder h o w tough' he’s going to be?’ ’ Yes, it was even fun, for a w hile, getting back into the old grind, nosing your w ay into that fog o f theories and form ulae and procedures.

W h o was there that d id n ’t feel right at home w hen good old D r. N am ias got us all d o w n in the new shop and started things off w ith . “ W ell. M un cy, I suppose th a t’s the best I can expect from y o u .” It w ill be a long time before any o f us forget those om inous words, “ Bring me the lens that you think neutralizes it” or “ Does that lo ok neutral to you ?” F un n y h o w harmless those sentences lo ok in print yet h o w much meaning they had when spoken b y the one man w h o could do it properly. T h a t is one illustration o f w h ich we had in m ind w hen we made the statement at the beginning o f this article concerning the relative importance o f the events o f the year. T h ere are p robably some students w h o took those remarks o f D r. N am ias’ pretty seriously at the time, felt a distinct sense o f personal in ju ry at the w a y he spoke; bu t there cannot be one n o w but realizes that he him self p robably benefited from those very remarks. C ertainly if you had the right stuff in y o u they served to spur you on to better w ork, even if o n ly to prove to yourself and him th at you were a better man than he pretended to make y o u out. A n d we must also realize n o w that the doctor undoubtedly kn ew the effect his w ords w o u ld have, and said them for the ultim ate result they w o u ld produce rather than any immediate effect they m ight have on our personal feelings. T h e results he got ju stify his means o f attaining them. So let D r. N am ias’ m otto be the w ords the father spoke to his erring son as he led him out to the woodshed, “ M y bo y, this is going to hurt me more than it does you, but it ’s for you r o w n good.” T h e n to add zest and interest to our second year, we were introduced to several new courses and tw o new instructors, nam ely D rs. Green and Cline. It actually seems impossible n o w that once, long ago, they were just names to us, that we weren’t fam iliar w ith every m ood, expresion and action o f these tw o men. D r. Green’s quick and enthusiastic delivery, his expressive hands, his a b ility to w o rk us up to a fever pitch over some instrum ent or technique and then let us d o w n abruptly w ith , “ W ell gentlemen, that is the theory but it doesn’t w o rk practically” , are all so fam iliar to us n o w that it seems as if he had a lw ays been there,” haranguing us, th row in g great gobs o f know ledge at our heads for us to attem pt to catch and digest, or duck, as w e see fit. T e n years from n o w just a glance over your O ptom etry notes w ill be sufficient to bring up a vivid picture o f D r. Green, excitedly pacing the platform , draw in g complicated diagrams on the board w hile we craned our necks tryin g to decipher the weird jum ble o f sym bols and atrocious w ritin g used in explanation, or lo llin g back in one o f the student chairs, never b y any chance his ow n , calm ly and easily explaining the inexplicable Cross M ethod. A n d even now , after repeated exposure, w e’re not immune to surprise at D r. P aul C lin e ’s uncanny ab ility to handle figures. T h e first few times he picked the tangeant o f an angle right out o f thin air we said, “ Hmm, guess he must have just gone over this problem in the other class,” but when the same thing occurred time after time we had to give in and actually believe that head was stuffed w ith more facts and figures than D uke E lder’s famous door stop. A n d combined w ith this ab ility as a mathm atician the doctor possesses a keen sense o f hum or and an immense am ount o f scientific curiosity. Remember the story about h o w his w ife w alked into the room one day and found him practicing skiam etry on their three weeks old baby just to prove forty-seven
to him self that all babies are born hyperopic? ( T h is so-caller “ h isto ry ” seems to be turning into an exposition o f the virtues and vices o f our instructors, but after all they did play a fairly im portant part in our student life and an account o f it w o u ld h ardly seem complete w ith o u t them .) T h e school suffered a great loss during the early part o f the year when D r. Sloane left us to devote him self to his o w n practice. H ow ever, D r. S pritz and D r. Em m ons stepped in and carried on n o b ly w ith his subjects. D r. S p ritz ’s lectures, to say the least, have been packed fu ll o f so much material on everything from measles to hydrops o f the gall bladder (or som ething) that w e ’re beginning to w onder whether we k n o w more about the eye or the verm iform appendix. T h e farther we go in w ritin g this account o f a very fu ll year, the more impossible it seems to remember and record all the im portant events. Perhaps, taking a leaf from D r. G reen’s b o o k (n ot the little black one) it w o u ld be better to w rite the rest o f it in outline form . A n y w a y it’s w o rth a try. DO Y O U REM EM BER — T h e Freshm an Sm oker, w ith D r.

STUDENT COUNCIL It is the earnest desire o f the student council that its efforts to produce a spirit o f cooperation and good fello w sh ip am ong the undergraduates has been in some measure successful during the past year. N o t as the voice o f au th o rity bu t rather in an advisory capacity it m ay be said, that w h ile not indispensable, this group plays a large, bu t un obtrusive part in the affairs o f the school. T h e problem s considered during the year are not difficult or m onotonous but are interesting and diversified, touching upon every phase o f the scholastic life o f the student. W e hope that year after year in the norm al course o f events its value in the mind o f student and instructor alike w ill increase, and that it w ill continue to be a part o f the school, helping to p lo w , plant and h arrow the mind o f the undergraduate and to instil in him a desire to do his best during his few years at the Massachusetts School o f O ptom etry and thus build a firm foundation for success in his future professional life. -7— L eo N .

PI C H IC CC N SIGMA: P i O m icron Sigma Fraternity was founded in 1 9 1 3 at the Massachu setts School o f O ptom etry. R ealizing the marked contrast between the enroll ment o f a few m onths then in effect and the four year course n ow presented and the lim ited enrollm ent o f a few students as contrasted b y hundreds now attending school, the difficulties in establishing this fraternity can be realize . N o sooner were the officers elected, their am bitions realized, and their plans made w hen their training period was at an end— and still another group o men assumed their place. A permanent treasury was then u n kn ow n ; w ith each ensuing class a new financial system was started from scratch, t e previous class h avin g dissolved its treasury instead o f a llo w in g it to accumulate from year to year. T h e fraternity flame continued to flicker periodically in this w a y for m any years— it never com pletely dyin g before it was fanned up by the next class.

possibilities o f the brotherhood and raked the sm ouldering coals together form ing the basis o f the relatively w ell-established frat we have at present. M a n y forw ard strides were made in the year ’ 3 6 - ’ 37. T h o se mem bers liv in g a w a y from hom e suggested procuring a frat house somewhere near the school where they could live together during the school year. N o suitable location h avin g been found, a frat room near the school was arbi trarily selected where the boys could study or pursue recreational interests during free periods. T h e fire o f fraternalism was then passed on to our Class and the hope expressed that we w o u ld carry on and continue in estab lishing I I O S as an indispensable asset to M . S. O . W h en the ’ 38 officers convened in the fall we decided not to reopen the frat room previously held, but to investigate and find larger quarters. A fortunate business agreement was struck and we established headquarters in a four-room apartm ent next to the school. T h r o u g h the cooperation o f the members the apartm ent was furnished and has been an asset to the frat in appearance as w ell as usefulness all year. In order that those Senior pledges m ight benefit from a more complete year’s membership, the initiation period was held in the fall instead o f during the late w inter as had previously been the custom. T h e pledge period was short but “ impressive” and was terminated b y “ H ell N ig h t” held in the country where noise w o u ld pass unnoticed and any blood that m ight be spilled w o u ld do not damage.

SOCIAL
FUNCTIONS
A s the prime purpose o f any fraternal order is to propagate social activities, so II 0 2 is no exception, sponsoring a complete program o f educa tional lectures, form al and inform al dances and banquets. T h e H alloween P overty P a rty w as p robably the least pretentious and yet most enjoyable affair o f the year. Several stag suppers where business and general topics were discussed were held about tow n . T h e Sem i-form al V alentine Dance at B el m ont C o u n try C lu b was held in .February and enjoyed b y “ all” . Several lectures were presented at the school to w hich the entire student b o d y was invited. T h e annual form al was a great success and very w ell attended— favors being given to the ladies. A s this was the 25th anniversary o f II 0 2 it was decided to convert the annual banquet into a 2 5 th anniversary banquet. Notices were sent out to all frat brothers and optom etric publications in hopes o f ^having a bangu p ” reunion and givin g the affair over to the “ old timers” . T h e banquet was held at the H otel M anger w ith D r. N am ias presiding as Master o f Ceremonies. A large number o f graduates was present w h o were told o f our activities during recent years, h o w we had progressed and o f our plans for the future. A A s we th in k back over the innumerable good times we have had together as “ brothers” , we suddenly realize that our undergraduate years have slipped a w a y into the m isty past— and that we also go out n o w to join the ranks o f “ the old timers” . It is w ith a catch in our throat that we pass on to y o u this fire o f fraternalism. W e hope that you continue to make it blaze brighter even as we have tried to do, so that when we meet at Fraternal anniversaries in the future we m ay say, “ P i Om icron Sigma is not o n ly the oldest, but also the best optom etric fraternity in existence.” fifty-seven

Nineteen hundred and thirty-eight — one of the most salient periods in our existence — - past, present and future — for it marks for us the great est exodus yet to occur within our ranks. Salient because this exodus will either make or break our organization. After three short years the three of us — Marion Donovan, Theresa Guarino and yours hopefully — have come to the depressing realization that our Sorority days have terminated, meaning the cessation of such as the enthusiastic (yet oh, so friendly!) arguments instigated by the diversity of opinions; the end of politic decisions on the part of those incharge to keep peace in the family; the sympathetic interests in the outcome of mid-years; the quality or state of mind of being utterly free from worries and self consciousness in the midst of enjoyment; borrowing and interchanging of clinical coats; and probably the end of the vivid discussions of the humorous conceit of a mere man. However, the memories of these in themselves will serve as a reparation to greatly neutralize the caustic effect of the sudden cleavage of active comradeship. And comradeship most aptly describes our association. It was inevitable — partly because of the sparsity in numbers and partly because of the predominant temperaments — that our Sorority life would not be a whirl of scintillating social activities. Verily, it was not our ambition that it be such. Realizing ourselves to be “roses among thorns” and being aware of the fact that if these thorns were sufficiently dominant and menacing, we would be forced to “eat the humble pie” we worked on the basis that the rose should be made compensatingly more attractive lest such a fatality occur. T o fortify ourselves, we supplied nutrient to the roots inducing coagulation and blooming prominence; re sult — a cliquey group — though not too impregnable. This is in itself the epitome of pleasure and enjoyment. Consequently, in the review of the years, we bask in the recollections fifty-eight
of such as the first formal in our infant year; or the weird, impressive in itiations in the second season; or the invigorating — and so deteriorating hikes in the Blue Hills; the week-ends in Marlboro or Pearl’s graduation party; the several dinner and theatre parties which served as excellent revification after the numerous exams; and, though they are still in the offing, the last gala formal — sand the most eccentric of all — the bowling tournament which promised to be an unforgettable treasure. But should, by some strange working of Fate, the intangible associations with E. O. S. begin to grow dim with the years we shall always have as a material reminder in the delicate form of our black and gold keys which we obtained this year — primarily for that purpose. It is hardly conceivable, however, that we shall ever forget our one and only Sorority. As it should be, we ourselves are the very essence of it and much of our future has been destined by its very existence. We are now in that stage wherein we are impressionable — greatly at our own discretion •—- as well as in the period wherein we are most firmly and con clusively formulating our principles. It is inevitable, therefore, that each of us in our individuality — and they are distinct •should impress the others with one of our predominant characteristics. For example, Pearl, our first graduating member, taught us the essential lesson that we are every bit as skilled and probably a bit more refined than the competitor. From the tribulations and stumbling blocks apparently placed in Theresa’s path dur ing the past three years and the admirable way that she overcame them, reminds us that there is no such word as discouragement in the vocabulary of a life-loving being. Marion’s poise and mien make it known to us that it is possible to be utterly feminine and yet an Optometrist. From Eleanor we have learnt that a smile and a song and the spirit of true resignation is the basic receipt for happiness. A most advantageous principle we might have accepted from Amelia — that which states that “No one is concerned about Johnny but Johnny” — the primary law of nature. And still, not in the least contradictory, Madelyn imparts to us the principle that the only way to have friends is to be one. When in the midst of a “kittenish” dis cussion, Ruth’s obvious silence or seemingly out of place kind remark, like a dash of cold water to the sleeper in that it so shudderingly reminds us that charity is a virtue and could be acquired to good end. By the experiences of Doris we are impressed with the fact that, though clear thinking is es sential for a measure of success, thought alone is not sufficient — there must be an equal amount of action for results. . . . And my contribution — articles (for the want of a worse word) few and far between, written for the SCOPE — scribbled off for my amusement and your amazement. It should seem inevitable, therefore, that we acquire at least one of these characteristics after three years of close association. And which-ever one it is — it will be one that, if nothing else, was gained by this associa tion — justified the existence of Epsilon Omicron Sigma. From this pane gyric or validictory, it is evident that for we departing members there is one consolation — that the adhesive bond of fraternalism cannot be broken by a mere square of parchment. And it is our sincerest wish that this bond, in the fullest sense, prevails through the years. —

It is with excessive lacrymation that we write this, our last “ Sport Eyelights’’ How well we remember our first year at this school at which time it was learned that the only outlet for our inherent desire for sports was basketball. Knowing nothing about the game, genial Barney Levin, who was then manager, undertook the gruelling task of teaching us the basic principles and finer points of the game. After attending practice sessions at the Burrough's Newsboys’ Foundation where Coach Sol Naglin officiated, we began to catch on and knew what to look for in the coming games. Many were the losing and few the winning battles fought by this team. It was only after defeats that we learned that the boys of M. S. O. were good sports — ' “they could take it.” Then came the junior year when Barney Levin, now manager-coach, graduated me from basketball fan number one of M. S. O. to official scorekeeper. We now had a greatly improved team which won a few games and were close seconds on the remainder of the schedule. The type of basketball played at M. S. O. was now definitely on the upgrade. Levin did a fine job of moulding a team from the rough material he found and all were sor ry to see him leave. Before we kn ew it the senior year was reached and again we were prom oted, (in sport circles) w e became sports-editor o f the SCOPE. Managers

I have just entered the office o f a w ell k n ow n N ew E nglan d O phthalm alogist— I settle com fortably in one o f those old fashioned chairs— pick up a picture m agazine (one w ith 2,000,000 circulation, you k n o w ) — turn pages rapidly un til the section featuring bathing beauties is reached— this holds m y attention, but definitely— a feminine voice brings me, suddenly, back to reality— “ M a y I be o f any assistance?” — I lo ok up— there stands hovering over me the most beautiful girl these foveae o f mine ever had the privilege o f im aging (m y m ind pleasured in the fusion o f the t w o ) — “ yes,” I answer, “ d o n ’t paralyze m y ciliaries— I w ant to see you clearly” — she smiles and repeats her question — I told her I was there for the purpose o f inter view in g the D octor and, surprisingly so, I was immediately led to the person I desired to see. D octor X appeared to be about fifty or so and startled me me b y being so genial. I spoke first: O SSEN: D octor, I ’m a senior in optom etry school. I've come to see you prim arily to get your view point o f optom etry— and to obtain a message for fifty-o d d ladies and gentlemen w h o w ill be graduate optometrists in a few weeks. D r .: W ell, I feel h igh ly honored and appreciative and I ’ll try to send you out o f m y office satisfied. First o f all, when your class receives their diplom as they are certain to feel like a certain fello w I heard about — “ It happened during the San Francisco earth-quake o f 1906. T h is fello w was just getting out o f bed when the earth trembled and the victim took hold o f the w a ll: this givin g w a y he tried to steady him self b y tak ing h old o f a tree. It was uprooted. F in ally, as he so adm irably expressed it, ‘there was nothing else to cling to except m y se lf'.” T o answer your question as to m y view poin t o f O ptom etry — W ell, every profession has its faults and yours is no exception . . . . O SSEN ( breaking in) : T h a t is a very tactful answer; but your view poin t about O ptom etry still remains absent. Perhaps you will answer this one, though. W h a t did you think o f the article, “ O ptom etry on T r ia l” , in the Reader’ s D ig est? sixty-three
D r . : I t ’s not w h at I think that matters. H ow ever, O ptom etry should heed this advice — W h en criticized, “ Learn to keep silent — hear all and speak little. D o n ’t answer back. T a lk convinces no one. Y o u r life and character pro claim y o u more than any argum ent y o u can put fo r th .” O SSEN: In w h at w ays can O p tom etry better itself? D r .: P yth agoras answers that perfectly, “ Feed not yourself w ith your left h an d .” Get you r livin g openly and avoid all left-handed deal ing. B u t m ind y o u t h a t holds for all professions and not yours alone. OSSEN: H o w w ill O p tom etry fare in the future? D r .: I'll quote again — “ T h e curtain o f the future is d ra w n .” O p tom etry should not w o rry about the future — for you k n ow , “ T h e mind that is anxious about the future is miserable.” m m w m In closing — If we had the eyes o f tom orrow , w e’ d w a n t to see a path lined w ith success that all o f y o u w ill tread upon. M a y you never have to w ish to be happier . . . A g a in we say, w ith a pang knocking at the door o f our heart, E Y E ’ L L BE S E E IN G Y o u .
