Farewell. DEAN’S MESSAGE It is a pleasure for me to express my best wishes to the members of the Class of 1966. As Dean, I hope th at all of you as professional men take your rightful place in your com munity as an integral part of its public health structure. You are pre pared and qualified to render serv ices of the highest order in the health field. W hether you go into the military service or go into private practice, you are equipped with the tools to render a total service. Take advan tage of the many highly specialized areas in which you have received instructions, nam ely; vision training and orthoptics, visual field study; and contact lens fitting. I would like to express my most sincere appreciation to every mem ber of the Class of 1966 for making my duties both as a teacher and ad m inistrator stimulating and inspir ing. The cooperation and encourage ment which was given to me by the entire class helped make my “learn ing” period much easier. I hope that each member of the Class of 1966 will feel free to ask for my assistance if needed because I am most inter ested in all of you. Good Luck and Best Wishes. Hyman R. Kamens, Dean

As Dr. Otto Hochstadt has often said it is not an easy task to find instructors for a professional school. In this respect the administration has done a fine job at the College of Optometry. It is with this in mind th at we would like to say a special “thanks” to the men who have served as the Faculty for many years. The graduate leaves the college with the knowledge of a professional man — an optometrist only because this Faculty has been there in previous days, months, and years to lecture, instruct and give their guidance.

Case ’66; A Loose Relationship As freshmen, we first heard the question, “Mass. College of Optometry ? Where’s th a t? ” The usual explanation sounded like “Y’know the Exeter Theatre? . . . And the big church across Newbury Street? . . . And the old rectory next to the church? . . . Well, th at’s not a rectory, th a t’s the College.” Our first year also presented other questions: What happened to the cats’ tails in zoology lab? When I ask a girl to a dance called the “Eyeball” what do I say when she says, “You’re kidding!” ? What ended the first and last inter-fraternity party at the Vendome? And how come we were put on absence probation just for extending spring vacation an other week? The sophomore year brought many new faces. Jack McCann felt much younger after he met Bob Titelbaum and Ted Edmonds; he even smiled! Chuck Idelson taught everybody how to take blood pressure. Who’s that little man in the butcher’s coat, anyhow? Chet Twarowski lost a frog somewhere and John Archibald kept the boys supplied with fresh eggs. Matt Garston organized the Breakfast Club and even invited Dr. Wasserman to join. Our junior year was a wild and hectic preparation for the clinical prac tice of the fourth year. We began the first of two years with “the Prince” and der last of zwei mit “der dictator”. Tony Molinari began “educating” Archie and Lou Zglobicki. Bob Blanchard began reading Birth of A Nation. We survived the year by having a little faith during T.O. and passing our state board practicals every week in M.O. Our senior year brought many changes, a new dean, a modernized clinic, a new registrar, and someone to teach graphical analysis to Bruce Kirn. Joe Glennon fell off a refracting stool during th at first nervous examina tion. Marty Kaplan became an expert on keratometry, Jim Georgis a con tact lens expert, and Paul Hey man an authority on everything. We found th at there were still some things which Barry Meyer just didn’t under stand. “Super Senior” Shaw surprised everybody by turning the Clinic over to Doctor Svagdys and going to class. Matt Elgart kept on turning the plateau spiral the wrong way. Marty Shuman took off enough time fishing with Louie to get engaged. The church next door was torn down but “. . . how come they left the rectory ?” M. Shuman L. Zglobicki

Student Council The Student Council is responsible for student affairs and the administering of financial assistance to student activities such as fraternities, clubs, and the major social event of the year, the “Eyeball.”

EYEBALL

Once a year the Student Council arranges for the major social event of the year “The Eyeball.” This event has grown from a late evening dance to a full evening of dinner, dancing, and entertainment for the wives and girl friends of the students at the college. The “66 Eyeball” was ably directed by a junior, which has become the custom, Paul Weissberg. The growing popularity of this dinner dance is in evidence by the large majority of students, faculty and guests who attended the “66 Eyeball.” 43

Pi Omicron Sigma, the oldest professional optometric fraternity in the country is the only local fraternity at the college. For many years, it was the only fraternity on campus and provided students with an informal at mosphere for fellowship and discussion. To day, POS continues to give its members an opportunity for leadership and democratic action. Four years go by quickly! As we prepare ourselves to embark on our professional field of endeavor, we look back at more than our

books and classes. We recall the social life, the activities, and most of all, we recall the many friends we have made. Many of these memories will center around P.O.S., for it is here th at we have made most of our close bonds. These memories are the smoker, poverty party, banquet, bowling night and other impromptu gatherings. Fraternity life is a wonderful thing, and an education in itself. We drink a toast to P.O.S. now, as we have done in the past and will continue to do in the future.

OMEGA EPSILON PH I FRA TE R N ITY Zeta Chapter of Omega Epsilon Phi, Inter national Optometric Fraternity, is one of eight chapters located in optometric colleges throughout the United States, An additional chapter is located in the Philippine Islands. Omega Epsilon Phi originated in 1920 when the need was realized for an organization th at would “transcend the bounds of race, color, and creed to promote the cause of Optometry by encouraging the study of its principles and problems and by striving for higher ethical and educational stan d ard s within the profession”. In 1947, Zeta Chapter at the Massachusetts College of Optometry was founded and to maintain contacts after graduation the Zeta Graduate Club was also founded. The Brotherhood presents the Joseph J. Scanlon Award annually at commencement exercises to the member of the graduating class who has demonstrated the highest de gree of proficiency in his clinical work. Socially, our smoker, Christmas party, and banquet proved to be successful again this Members Paul Adrien William Airey John Archibald Arthur Baker Alfred Blanchard Robert Blanchard Fredrick Blank Lester Bradley William Carpenter Peter Cerruti Neil Cowles John Duggan

year, but our bowling team went down to a close defeat to Pi Omicron Sigma Fraternity. On behalf of myself and all the Brothers of Zeta Chapter, we wish to extend our sincer congratulations and best wishes to all the members of the class of 1966 and hope that each and every one of them will find everlasting success in the profession of Op tometry.

It shall also be our purpose to promote friendships among student optom etry wives.” Among the activities participated in during the year was a cake sale, decoration of the luncheon for the American Optometric Association Con vention, which was held at the Sheraton Boston Hotel, and a tour of the American Optical Laboratory in Brighton. Some of the social activities included a welcoming tea at the home of Mrs. Foster Namias, the club’s advisor, a Halloween party, Alumni Home coming at which the Dames were hostesses, and a luncheon at the home of Mrs. Carol Edmunds, club president, at which Senior PHT (Putting Husband Through) degrees were awarded by Mrs. Namias.

CLINIC Michele Day registers with clinic secretary Mrs. Pam Crossley, who explains clinic procedure to patients in addition to book ing, appointments, controlling the tele phone, and conducting correspondence. A careful and detailed pre-examination case history is taken by Clinician B. Meyer prior to the refraction.

The clinic is the place where the underclassmen put into practice the theoretical optometry they have learned in the classroom and the seniors learn the professional art of patient handling. Each senior is required to cover the clinic, as scheduled, in refraction, visual training, and contact lenses. The clinic is the place where the optometic student is turned into the professional optometrist as the clinician becomes aware of the demands and needs of visual assistance of his patients.

The recording of the patient’s visual acuity, here taken by Clinician J Georgis, is the first step in the routine refractive procedure.

Clinician W. Goldberg employs a peniight to investigate the excursions of the eyes and the pupillary reflexes.

CLINIC

Clinician B. Kirn employs the cover test as an objective means of the determination of the relative posture of the two eyes.

Clinician C. Gruning conducts a careful ophthalmoscopic examination of the interior of the eye to ascertain the health of the eye.

The keratometer, here employed by Clinician J. Abraham, measures the curvature and amount of astigmatism of the cornea.

Clinician L. Shaw uses the retinascope to objectively determine the re fractive error of the eye.

CLINIC

Clinician M. Kaplan meticulously at tempts to arrive at the correct dis tance prescription during the sub jective lens acceptance procedure.

Clinician M. Garston conducts a battery of near-point tests to determine the efficiency of the eyes at the reading and working distances. 54

Clinic Director Dr. Joseph Svagdys verifies the prescription found by one of the clinicians.

Clinicial Instructor Dr. Alvan Blume prepares to examine the interior of the eye with an ophthalmoscope.

CLINIC

The perimeter is used to determine the limits of the peripheral field of vision.

Clinician R. Titelbaum investigates the functioning of the central field of vision, using a Bjerrum screen.

Clinician J. Archibald demonstrates the use of the Multiple Pattern Screener, a glaucoma screening device,

Clinician L. Shaw measures the intraocular pressure with a mechanical tonometer, a procedure to test for glaucoma.

CLINIC

Clinic Director Joseph Svagdys, OD, Clinician L. Shaw, and Clinic Ophthalmologist Arthur 0 . Bruce, MD discuss the case record of a clinic patient. Miss Day, a first year student at the College, ap proves the frame selected by her fiance, Clinician W. Carpenter.

A sighting device is used to correctly line up an uncut lens blank. Clinician T. Edmonds prepares to cut the lens blank to the appropriate shape for the selected frame.

CLINIC

Before placing the lens in the automatic beveling machine behind him, Clini cian J. Abraham removes excess glass from the cut lens blank.

Clinician J. McCann puts a finishing touch to a lens by hand before inserting the lens into the frame.

The accuracy of the finished job is checked by Clinician P. Heyman by careful use of the vertometer.

A host of talents, tasks, and technical considerations combine in professional practice. The vision specialist must deal daily with the public and still remain a scientist. He must handle his patients carefully, motivate the people with whom he works, and run his office with maximum efficiency. Basically there are two things upon which every successful practice depends: 1) the competence of the practitioner, and 2) the capabilities of his equipment. What is required of the man, is required of his tools also.

■ Greater wearer comfort through a regular routine of lens care. M Greater wearer confi dence through a sim plified, easy-to-follow pro cedure. 8 Greater practitioner convenience through sim plification of patient instruction. CLEAN: Effectively remove the build-up of for eign matter that impairs visual acuity, irritates the eye, traps bacteria —with minimal risk of scratching and warping. SOAK: Keep lenses optically and bacteriologically clean when not being worn; maintain un interrupted hydration. WET: Lubricate, wet, and cushion the lens for com fortable and hygienic insertion; reduce ir ritation by providing a buffer between lens edges and cornea.

•The

Art ef 0pteiTietiy D ear Graduate,

Just as surely as Optometry is a science, so also it is an art. As your career unfolds you will see this more and more. It’s a big responsibility. The eyewear you help your patient choose can enhance a personality and give new confidence. T h at’s almost as important as good vision. The art of frame making is our business. W e would welcome the opportunity for you to visit the Victory plant and design studios, and see for yourself. I would be delighted to personally show you through one of America’s great creative framemaking establishments. Congratulations and best wishes for a long and successful career,
