NEW ENGLAND COLLEGE OF OPTOMETRY

1894 - 1997 #

Larry R. Clausen, President

Dear Members of the Class of 1997, I extend my congratulations to you on the receipt of your Doctor of Optometry degree. Each of you deserves high recognition for your academic success. Together the class of 1997 will be an important force in shaping the history of the optometric profession.

The College has undergone significant change during your brief tenure, but this change is minor in comparison to the changes in health care delivery, technology, and standards of care that you will encounter in the career upon which you now embark. The New England College of Optometry has given you the skills not only to enter one of the most respected professions in the nation, but also to continue your learning and professional growth in the new millennium. The acquisition of new knowledge is your professional responsibility. It is a challenge that I am confident you will meet time and time again.

The faculty and the entire College community extend their best wishes to you upon your graduation. At the same time, we welcome you as fellow colleagues and pledge our continued support to you in your service and care to the public.

Best wishes for the future,

Larry R. Clausen, O.D., Ed.D. President

To the Class of 1997: I would like to express my best wishes as you leave the portals of NEWENCO. You have stimulated and inspired me in performing my duties.

This year will be my last year as Dean of Student Affairs and Admissions. We leave together with the knowledge that students like you are the future of our p rofession. Together we have tried to learn not only Optometry, but also consideration for our fellow human beings.

I was a small part of your lives. I hope that you will remember me as your friend, and one that wishes only the best for your future.

Dr. Hyman Richard Kamens, O.D., F.A.A.O., D.O.S.

(Dedication to (D r. IKamens Patty Haller, 1997 Class President In 1947, the New England College of Optometry acquired one of its greatest assets, Dr. Hyman R. Kamens. It has been our great fortune to have spent our four years interacting with a man who is responsible for preparing NEWENCO for the year 2000 with such class and dignity.

Dr. Kamens graduated from Indiana University and obtained his degree m optometry from the Massachusetts College of Optometry, Magna Cum Laude, in 1947. He joined the staff of the College that year, and has continued to support thousands of students who have come through the doors of NEWENCO. „ , During his forty-nine years at the College, Dr. Kamens has served in numerous leadership positions. He sensed as the Director of the Massachusetts College of Optometry Clinic from 1948 -1965, Dean of the College from , Dean of Administration from 1969 -1975, and Professor of Optometry and Dean of Student Affairs and Admissions from 1975 - 1996 In April of 1975, he was granted the Doctor of Ocular Science Honorary Degree from the Board of rustees and has also received the Alumni of the Year Award from the CoUege. In July of 1996, Dr. Kamens assumes a new role as Dean of Alumni Relations. In this position, he will work closely with the alumni, where his expertise and extensive knowledge of the alumni can continue to enhance the NEWENCO community. _ As Dr. Kamens enters his fiftieth year of service, it is with great love and respect that the Class of 1997 e ca e this y e a r b o o k t o him. He has touched the lives of generations of optometry students. As we pursue our careets m optometry, we will often reflect on his smiling face and his singing voice in the halls of NEWENCO. His time, servtce. and dedtcatton to the profession of optometry and our school can never be equaled.

“We are grateful to have been a part of the Class of 1997 into which you accepted us, and are even more grateful for having you as our Dean of Student Affairs. As we look through this yearbook, we will remember that without your ti y years of devotion, the New England College of Optometry would not be the outstanding College community that it is today.

Dr. Kamens, we salute your efforts and thank you for helping to make our dreams a reality.

DORM LIFE

First Day A Room with a View When we arrived at 418 Beacon Street, we found out they weren’t kidding about small rooms. Trying to fit our stuff into what once must have been a closet was frustrating, so it was off to the Hong Kong to relieve some stress. For many of us, that was our first of many T rides...

Bethany and others on the fourth floor got a head start on Dr. Freddo’s Anatomy class, thanks to the strategic view from her window into the MIT fiat’s bathroom.

She told everyone she was going to buy curtains, but we don’t recall seeing any.

Study Habits/Habitats At 4:00 a.m. on the fourth floor, the light in the kitchenette would be burning brightly. Look­ ing through the door, we would see Prag in her favorite study area.

Books and beverages were in hand. At least the kitchenette got used for something!

38

Night Owls We soon found that the front room was perfect place for all-nighters, (for those of us who started studying at 5 o’clock the day before the final, anyway.) It had good proximity to the kitchen, and we always had a pot of coffee going!

M,

Canadian-American Rela­ tions

Critters

World Series Time —All the dormies would congre­ gate in the front room to watch the Toronto Blue Jays kick some American butt.

Oh well, at least they lost the next year. When it came to watching movies, some­ one never failed to point out those Canadian comedians.

And does anyone know the capital of Canada??

The pitter-patter o f little feet, the gnawing o f little jaws, blue footprints across the kitchen floor, sticky traps being dragged away. They didn’t men­ tion this during our inter­ views and tours...

911 Thanks to a defective toaster and bad cooks, we all got on a first name basis with the local firemen.

1994 marked the 100th anniversary of The New England College of Optometry, for those who may have missed the huge banner hanging from the first floor balcony that year! The final event was the Gala Centennial Celebration held at the Museum of Fine Arts in November. Before the dinner, attendees were able to roam about selected museum galleries which were closed to the public specifically for the Gala.

NEWENCO has come a long way from its beginnings as the Massachusetts College of Optometry on Newbury Street. The college was established by Dr. August Klein. His granddaughter, Cynthia MacDonald, attended the Gala to say a few words on behalf of the Klein family. A great number of faculty and alumni attended, and of course Dr. Kamens knew them all!

Top: Dr. Clausen smiles for the camera.

Middle L: Irene, Tina, Cindy, and Brandee worked for months with Ms. Clark preparing for the event.

Middle R: Dr. Applebaum with his wife and Dr. Hoffman.

a t C r o s s r o a d s - w h e r e else ?

The Dr. Zorn 'Blues inspired by our finals fiasco

Two times a week we trudge to L1 to sit through 4 hours o f dim vs. bright fun.

The computer screen stotic makes seeing o joke.

Squinting like this, we II soon be myopes.

W e listen to Zorn in his Armani best and pray to Heaven no one has an old test.

The notes fly and fly , and just pass us by.

W e sure hope Bethany is feeling real spry!

It’s 10 a fte r 10, and we sure need a break.

Oh no, it can’t be, she’s run out o f tape/ If he doesn’t stop soon we’re all gonna croak Isn’t it time he snuck out fo r a smoke?

D im vs. bright, B right vs. dim O ur knowledge o f anisocoria is very slim.

Some pull all nighters and live o ff o f caffeine.

But 98% o f students, the exam they have seen.

D r. Zorn, we really don’t mean to be pests, But please, oh please, w rite us a new test.

The day o f doom comes, and the test we take with silence so thick you’d think it ’s a wake.

As the scores are posted, there arises a cry “It can’t be...oh no...the average is way too high!

D r. Zorn, we’ll buy you a brand new cool vest if you promise you won’t make us retake this test!

Adie’s tonic pupil, or else A P D , Where the lesion is, we just don t see.

In spite o f trying to pass while using old tests, W e promise from now on to do only our best.

So in practice when you feel you don t have a clue Sing the D r. Zorn Blues to get you through.

Student Council

by Matt Forgues

Student Council was hard at work this year, planning various activities to keep the students entertained. We started off with the Big Brother/Big Sister pro­ gram where we hoped to get the ODI’s into the swing of school.

Our first big party was the Hal­ loween bash at the New En­ gland Aquarium. This was fol­ lowed by the terrific Holiday Party put on by the ODF s at the Lenox Hotel, and then the Boston Harbor Boat cruise ended the year.

Student Council not only worked to entertain students, but got involved in all areas of the school.

In addition to planning the parties, the council met twice a month to discuss student issues and concerns and manage budget issues. Members worked well with faculty figuring out exam schedules and taking care of the everyday academic affairs. Thanks to the efforts put in by members, it was a very successful year.

Volunteer Optometric Service to Humanity - VOSH

by Matt Allen, President of VOSH

The 1995-96 VOSH/MASS organization completed another year with a great feeling of success. .11 those hours of lensometry, glasses-sorting, fundraising, and presentations paid off. The tabulated olunteer hours allowed the members of this organization to give their time and skill to deliver eye care >locals in the Boston area and to the needy people in Merida, Mexico. In Mexico, the group successful y erformed up to 3000 individual eye exams. You could not come away from this trip without feeling a reat sense of love and humanity in what you were doing. Our hosts, DIF, were the best. They fumishe ur living quarters, which were above any expectations we had, and made sure that our appetites were well iken care of with the best Mexican cuisine.

M1 , VOSH is done for another year, but the giving and sharing that has taken place will never be orgotten. If anyone has had the great opportunity to be involved in VOSH, they will tell you that this is j/hat optometry is really all about: Helping to bring the World into Focus. rhe students and optometrists involved in the annual trip to Merida, Mexico were as follows: Class of 1997 Matt Allen Todd Schnobrich Abdel Mallouk Jenny Kim David Chu Jenny Cha Prag Arora Monya Elgart

National Optometric Student Association - NOSA

by Brian Godines

NOSA represents a diverse group of people with some common feelings. One of the aims of the association is to increase the minority population in the field of optometry. Personally, I got involved with this club to take a step towards obliterating two of my pet peeves: ignorance and prejudice. As a group we met semi-weekly to discuss plans for fundraising (remember the pizza sales?), screenings, and other activities (i.e. the Christmas party). The membership of the association was at an all-time high during our second year, which is a positive reflection of our class.

With the busy-ness of third year, the class representation in NOSA dwindled, but the spirit of the group remained in all of us. For those of you who still don t understand the nature of NOSA, here’s a brief poem borrowed from my childhood which sums it up for me:

My dog is a plumber, he must be a boy.

Although I must tell you, his favorite toy, Is a little play stove, with pans and with pots; Which he really must love, ‘cause he plays with it lots.

So perhaps he’s a girl, which kind of makes sense, Since he can’t throw a ball and he can’t climb a fence.

But neither can Dad, and I know he’s a man; And Mom is a woman, and she drives a van.

Maybe the problem is in trying to tell, Just what someone is, by what he does well.

From thr Editor: Pear Class of 1997, Here it is (drumroll, please),....the AMAZING 1997 yearbook. Purina; the process of begaing, borrowina. and stealing pictures, I came to one startling revelation...secord year was a big blur between proficiencies and boards, and no one had 'a social life. Putting together the yearbook was the experience of a lifetime (one I hope to never repeat). Many thanks to the rest of the s ta ff: Kristen Poor.ie for typing;, clicking, and dragging ‘till she droppeo, Mara Santos for harassing the class for copy, Irene Mestito fo r doing what she does best, always being in the right place at the fight time with her camera, and to Jim Poyie, for doing the job no one else wanted, and getting this thing paid for! We hope the yearbook reminds you of the ups and downs, the trials and tribulations, moving; in and moving out, Zorn days to Hatch days, all of which we’ve written down and captured on film for your enjoyment. We’ve seen some amazing changes while following the class from firs t to third year. Fashion-wise we’ve seen skirts and hairstyles go up and down. Personally, we’ve seen friendships and relationships evolve, and basically we’ve continued to grow up. Now it’s time to go out in the real world (or postpone it by doing a residency), and show how much we have learned in these four years. And when the pressure gets to be too much for you, just look back at your good *o! yearbook and pretend you’re back in school (yea fight)!

Good luck to everyone.

Sincerely, Alison Sailey, EditorHn-Ghief

We would like to thank J.D. Sloan for his endsheet photos as well as some great shots of us in clinic.
