There is a phe n om en o n called "S e lf-F u lfillin g P rophecy," w h ic h means that w e becom e, to a certain degree, w h a t others th in k us to be. Subtle, non-verbal p re d ictio n s on the part o f one person may becom e real behavior on the part o f the person being judged. O u r behavior at a p articu la r m o m e n t in tim e, how ever, is n ot as sim ple as that, since w e have o u r o w n p re d ictio n s about o u r o w n behavior, these being b ro u g h t a b o u t b y o u r o w n personal experiences. Thus, w e all arrived at this college bearing o u r o w n uniqueness, and in the past fo u r years added to o u r to ta lity the com p lexities o f o u r reactions w ith each o th e r and those concerned w ith o u r e d u ca tion . For some the change was m in im a l, fo r they had already becom e w h a t they w o u ld . For others the beco m in g w ill never cease. Therefore, let us exam ine w h a t we have becom e w ith each other. W e all came w ith o u r o w n p articula r fears, w h ic h may o r may n o t still be w ith us, and have gained a new one p ecu lia r to o pto m e trists '— the fear o f being oppressed and boxed in. N o one ever said w e have reason to be fearful, b u t som ehow the fee ling was co m m u n ica te d to us. This has been ingrained in each o f us by e xho rta tion s to the contrary, and it w ill take m any years to overcom e. In order to d o so, each one o f us has to establish his o w n w o rth in his o w n m ind.

Those o f us w h o do the best jo b tha t can possibly be done are the ones w h o are lucky, fo r w e w ill overcom e the fee ling easily. Some o f us w ill fo llo w the same p h ilo so p h y that burdened us throu g h school — do just enough to get by. The fear w ill never dissipate fo r the person w h o does this, because he is short changing him self and w h o m e ve r he serves. O thers o f us may feel that o u r talents and abilitie s go b eyound the service w e render. If we c o n tin u e this way, w e can never go beyond o u r present service. W e all came w ith o u r o w n idea o f w h a t the w o rd "p ro fe s s io n a l" means. Have w e becom e professional in the interim ? Perhaps. T h in k o f y o u r classmates - There are some w h o w ill make it easily, and there are others w h o w ill never attain it — o r w ill they? Look at the men in the fie ld that w e have seen. Some exude professionalism , w h ile others leave you w o n d e rin g w h a t p articula r q u a lity it is tha t distinguishes them from , say, a professional photographer. Can w e say that by the very nature o f o u r jo b th a t we are professional?

Let us say here th a t th a t q u a lity w h ic h we call "p ro fe ssio n a lism ," a w o rd m uch o ver-w orked, can o n ly be an a ttitu d e tow ard o u r fe llo w man based on the in te ra ctio n o f tw o things: w isd o m , as a p ro d u ct gleaned fro m w h a t w e do kn o w , and h u m ility , as a p ro d u ct o f w h a t w e do n ot know . W e all came the p ro d u ct o f a system w here a man is judged by the grades he has received. W h a t has becom e o f us here? N othing. W e leave the p ro d u ct o f a system w here a man is judged by the course grades, lab grades, national board grades, lo w grades, high grades, letter grades, n um be r grades, grades th a t signified n o th in g but the inadequacy o f grades! W h a t a bo u t character and intelligence? W h a t a bo u t the true h u m a n .v a lu e H fo r is it n ot hum ans w e serve? W e all cam e w ith a reason w h y, and w h a t has becom e o f that reason? The m onetary and m aterial rewards can be ra tio na lize d away by the very nature o f o ur jo b - w e serve people. W e w ere to ld tha t the u ltim a te goal o f a profession such as ours was to p u t itse lf o u t o f business. It ca nn o t be denied th a t each man w orks fo r his o w n gain — hum an nature dictates this. But h o w m uch w ill you give in tim e , e ffo rt, and th o u g h t tow ard fin d in g o u t h o w a man sees and new ways to help those w h o cannot?

The Beginning . . .

In a sense, w ith the graduation o f the Class o f 1969, the Mass achusetts College o f O p to m e try, marks the end o f an era. For w ith this class' departure goes the o ld three year cu rricu lu m aug m ented by the sum m er O .D . program , the d octoral dissertations, and fo r the most part, the "y o u n g " graduate. O ver the past fo u r years, a group o f some fo rty odd b efuddled freshm en, have been transform ed in to fo rty b efu dd le d seniors. H ow ever, in to these b efuddled seniors has been in stille d a sense o f profressionalism and a k n o w l edge o f the o p to m e tric field. Their value judgem ents, th e ir ideals and th e ir general philosophies, have m atured and m ellow ed. These men are ready to face the challenge o f the outside w o rld and p o te n tia lly equipped to face it w ell. A nd so w ith this in m ind they leave the Massachusetts College o f O p to m e try, to practice O p to m e try and c o n trib u te to the enhancem ent o f the O p to m e tric profession.

David Raab

But w here d id it all begin? The year was 1965, the m onth September, and the day is one o f those figures w h ic h has passed in to o b liv io n . W hatever the day, it was a sloppy mess o f boys th a t w alked in to the Registrar's office to pay Dr. Kozol the tu itio n fees. The faces were fille d w ith lost stares and baffled smiles. Very fe w knew the road ahead o f them very w e ll and most o f the prem ature judgem ents a b o u t o u r first years were based on in fo rm a tio n from the upper class men and m ost were correct: the w o rk load was a cinch; those three day weekends w ere great; Dr. M artus taught us h o w to prepare the meat fo r cat stew; Dr. M c D e rm o tt taught us the d iff erences betw een an o culist, o p h th a lm o lo g ist, o p to m e trist and o p ticia n , n ot to m e n tion the m yriad o f d e fin itio n s fo r O p tom etry; Dr. Berke tau g ht us h o w to m a in tain o u r sanity; Mr. Raab taught us h o w to integrate num bers that is; and good old Mr. Emerson just drove us nuts. But as the song goes, " It Was A Very G ood Year." 57

H ow ever, all good things must com e to an end and tha t it did in September, 1966. It's so nice to th in k about h o w life used to be before we were in tro du ce d to Drs. Namias, Wasserman, and Cline, and n o w tha t w e kn o w them , I guess life w ill never be the same.

W e ll w e m et all three "m asters" back in September, 1966, along w ith Dr. M c N u lty , Dr. Sullivan, Dr. H ochstadt and Mr. D u fo u r, not to m e n tio n o u r o ld friend Dr. Berke. O u r sophom ore year was w o rk and fun also. W e became and still are, w h a t I believe to be one o f the closest k n it classes to ever attend M .C .O We partied together, sported together, studied together, relaxed together, sang together and at tim es even cried together. H owever, there was school also, and school m eant G.O, T.O., O .O ., P.O., M .O ., T.O., A natom y, Em bryology, N eurology, and A b n o r mal Psychology.

W e had instructors w e had never had before and gradually learned h o w to treat and handle each one. Dr. M c N u lty w e discovered could be given a d rin k and taken anyw here; Dr. W asserman was easy to get along w ith if you were w e ll in fo rm e d on the "A n c ie n ts ;" Dr. Namias, w e learned, liked honey; Dr. C line had good facial muscles w h ic h he exercised c o n sta n tly in tryin g to stifle a sm ile; Dr. H ochstadt liked M a rl boro o r Tareyton; care had to be taken n o t to tease Dr. S ullivan a b o u t his ST — ST — ST STUT TERING; and o f course Dr. Berke trie d to m aintain o u r sanity. W e learned th a t there was a second b u ild in g to o u r cam pus, at 472 C o m m o n w e a lth Avenue.

Located in the center o f the " m o d " w o rld o f K enm ore Square, the c lin ic housed the best c o lle c tio n o f a n tiq u e o p tic a l e q u ip m e n t in the co un try. A t the c lin ic w e m et Dr. Svagdys, Dr. Shum an, and Mr. D u fo u r. A c tu a lly w e never m et Dr. Svagdys, b u t used to wave h ello as w e passed his office on o u r way up to the th ird flo or. Dr. Shuman p a tie n tly taught us o p to m e tric procedures, b ut co u ld never understand o u r co n fu sio n w hen w e to ld him w e d id n 't k n o w the theory.

He used to say, "D o n 't w orry, y o u 'll get th a t later = just learn the procedures fo r n o w ." So w e learned the procedures, b u t we're still w a itin g fo r the theory. Mr. D u fo u r p u t us right to w o rk and in a fe w short weeks w e were tu rn in g o u t p erfe ctly square lenses. If square-eyed frames ever becom e popular, just th in k o f h o w much ahead o f o u r colleagues we w ill be. O u r sophom ore year was marked by co n tin u e d friendships and the

fo rm a tio n o f new ones. W e had som e really great tim es to g e th e r at parties, and always had fun w a tc h in g D o u g h ty, D u ckm a n, and Finnem ore in th e ir d ru nke n stupors.

those factors w h ich created a need fo r the structure as it exists today. This then w o u ld be s e lf-fu lfillin g prophecy w o rk in g to its best.

The desire fo r th a t elusive fe e lin g called ''fre e d o m /' th a t in d e fin a b le , ethereal existence, has fired m en's souls since the tim e rational, e m o tio n a l man becam e a social anim al. The p re vailin g que stio n remains. W h a t m echanism s a llo w persons existing w ith in the fra m e w o rk o f in s titu tio n a liz a tio n to feel the y are free? It is a paradox th a t the very stuctures w e b u ild to gain

A nd w h a t o f the role o f the student governm ent? W ill it rem ain m erely a group of representatives whose ideas and policies do not reach m uch beyond the haphazard d is trib u tio n o f m oney, or w ill it go beyond o u r small beginnings and becom e the in stru m e nt fo r se lf-im p ro ve m e n t. The C o u n cil must be the in itia to r o f policies, fo r change m ust com e from w ith in n o t to be forced by e ithe r party involved.

fre ed o m so lim it it. W hy? Perhaps the fo llo w in g th o u g h ts, set d o w n on paper in 1923, w ill give us an in sig ht in to an answer.

A n d w hat is it b u t fragments o f your ow n self you w o u ld discard that you may become free? If it is an unjust law you w o u ld abolish, that law was w ritten w ith your ow n hand upon your ow n forehead. You cannot erase it by burning your la w books nor by washing the foreheads of your judges, though you pour the sea upon them. A n d if it is a despot you w o u ld dethrone, see first that his throne erected w ith in you is destroyed. For h o w can a tyrant rule the free and the proud, b u t fo r the tyranny in their ow n freedom and a shame in their ow n p rid e ? A n d if it is a care you w o u ld cast off, that care has been chosen by you rather than imposed upon you. A n d if it is a fear you w o u ld dispel, the seat of that fear is in your heart and n o t in the hand o f the feared.

The first step has been taken, b u t before w e can progress w e m ust stop and exam ine ourselves to d ete rm ine those most im p o rta n t factors in us as students w h ic h w arrant any changes, as w e ll as 75

A fte r taking the b ru n t o f the students' o fte n sadistic "sense o f h u m o r" fo r all these years past, w e decided to see w h a t the fa cu lty w o u ld d o on the o p p o s ite end o f the pen. W e therefore su b m itte d a group o f like ly lo o kin g photos to certain members o f the c lin ic staff, fee ling that they had possibly m ore personal insight in to the members o f the class. The results are show n on these tw o pages, som e o f them being hum orous, others being astute, and others just plain rid icu lo u s.

And now they don’t have to. B ecause you can significantly reduce these annoying and distracting reflections by prescribing A R C O T E® . This anti-reflective magnesium fluoride coating applies easily to both sides of the lens and is almost invisible. All your patients, especially those wearing glasses for the first time, will feel m ore at home with their lenses. A R C O T E is a finishing touch that makes a tremendous difference.

I began th in k in g o f this b o o k three years ago w ith the highest o f hopes and the abundance o f ideas tha t comes w ith every new project. W h e n it came to the fin al d ea d lin e m any o f the hopes had gone unrealized and m any o f the ideas vanished in to th in air. It is d iffic u lt fo r me to assess w h a t w e have left. W e as a class decided to dedicate the boo k to the profession. I, how ever, have w ritte n the b o o k fo r you. I have tried to p ro voke you. I have trie d to make you aware o f the forces that have acted on us and am ong us, sh ow ing you the p o w e r involved. I have trie d to let you laugh. I have tried to make you rem em ber and feel some slig h t nostalgia w h e n you p ick up the boo k years from now . I have trie d to give you som ething to be proud o f because you are the substance, the c o n te n t o f the book. I d id not, how ever, a tte m p t this alone. There were many w h o co n trib u te d ideas and criticism giving me some feedback co nce rn in g w h a t the class desired o f a yearbook. O n the staff, as it were, Ira Bourne alm ost singlehandedly fille d all the ad pages, and w ith o u t h im the boo k w o u ld be non-existent. Han D ong w o rke d m any long hours u n til the fin al deadline. Barry Friedman co n trib u te d m uch w ith his enthusiasm . Bob D uckm en c o n s cie n tio u sly d o cu m e n te d every m o m e n t o f o u r history, and then w atched p a tie n tly as I edited it to a q ua rte r its o rig in al length. Ed Schwartzberg c o n trib u te d m any e xcellent photographs ca p tu rin g the subject o fte n unaware o f being him self. H erbie M eyers co n trib u te d an essay (w h ich u n fo rtu n a te ly does n ot appear in the b ook) tha t should be p rinted in the papers on visual training. Dr. W h ite c o n trib u te d his d ip lo m a c y to o b ta in in g ads fo r us. Dr. Kozol guided us to those w h o co u ld be p ote ntia l advertisers. Bob M u rp h y o f the A m erican Y earbook C o m p an y helped us throu g h o ur problem s w ith his ideas and experience. There are m any others w h o m I ca nn o t list that s ig n ifica n tly added to the total. The c o n trib u tio n s o f a ll the above go beyond the sim ple statem ent I have made and I w ish to express my sincere gratitude fo r th e ir help and guidance. I tha n k those com panies, businesses and groups w h o c o n trib u te d th e ir ads to the cause, and I especially w a n t to th a n k those parents listed on the sponsor page fo r th e ir m ost generous donations. Again, tha n k you all. Best o f luck to my classmates. David Corliss, Editor
