SHEPARD, O.D., D.O.S bedicativn The lllinois College of Optometry and the optometric profession lost a great and good friend this year with the passing of Carl F, Shepard. His ties with our college have been many and varied. lt is indeed appropriate that students and faculty should commemorate and recall with a deep sense of appreciation and gratitude the richness of association shared with him. Rarely do we memorial- ize a member of our profession in this fashion. But Shep was a rare soul! His association with this college began in l923 when he was called to Chicago by the late Dr. William Needles to join the faculty of the Northern lllinois College of Optometry, Dr, Shepard was soon recognized as a truly gifted teacher i that rare individual who not only possessed knowledge and understanding, but also could impart these to others, Recognizing his deep and immediate understanding of professional problems, students were always quick to seek him out for friendly counsel and advice, As the years passed he spent less and less time developing a practice, and more and more time in academic pursuits. His genuine affection for people and his appreciation of the challenges and rewards of teaching and research meant much more to him than the monetary returns of a successful practice. The optometric profession has benefited in many ways from his decision. ln the field of re- search, Dr. Shepard's inquisitive mind led to investigating problems and devising solutions which have become standard procedures in the field. One of his most noteworthy contributions was the development of the Betts Ready to Read Cards modified and known today as the Keystone Visual Skill cards. ln the field of professional publications, Dr, Shepard exerted a pervasive influence. Many of his original papers have appeared in our leading optometric journals. As technical editor of The Optometric Weekly, a position he held for the past 25 years, he had a rare gift for recognizing the potentialities and significance of the work of his colleagues. Although his primary interest lay in the field of teaching and research, Dr. Shepard was also a practicing optometrist for over 40 years. His association with his patients, like that with his students, was characterized by cordial and affectionate regard. lt was not unusual for Dr, Shepard to have patients from several generations in a single family. His wide and varied experiences in his professional practice made him eminently qualified to discuss with his students the many facets of private practice. Throughout the course of his life, Dr. Shepard received many professional acknowledgments of his leadership. His rare ability to speak with both authority and inspiration made him widely sought as a keynote speaker at both academic and organizational functions. He was one of the original founders and a life member of Beta Sigma Kappa. He was a member of the American Academy of Optometry, a fellow of the Distinguished Service Foundation of Optometry, the first honorary member of the Tomb and Key Freternity, and an honorary member of many state asso- ciations and optometric groups, Dr. Shepard's career was marked by lifelong service to optometric education. His most recent activities were directed toward the consolidation of Northern lllinois College of Optometry and Chicago College of Optometry. Following the merger of the two institu- tions, he served as director of alumni activities and head of the development fund for the lllinois College of Optometry Alumni Association. Professional recognition was not the only acknowledgment of his rare qualities. He was be- loved by all who knew him, He possessed wisdom, understanding, enthusiasm, a sense of kind- ness and fair play to a degree seldom equalled. His were the gifts of an outgoing personality, an un- derstanding heart, and a lovable humor. And he was willing to share these gifts of mind, heart, and spirit with all who met him. We shall not look upon his like again. bean 14 ln speaking of the development of great archi- tecture, lohn Ruskin, the noted English author and art critic, once declared that there are certain con- ditions of temper and moral feeling necessary for the creation of great architecture. He saw these states as lamps that gave light to the way of the builder. ln the same manner, We may think of the build- ing of your Way of life as a task which also must be illuminated and guided by certain moral and spiri- tual qualities. To me, there are seven such qualities essential to the attainment of your professional and personal goals. They are: courtesy, tolerance, cour- age, loyalty, intellectual curiosity, aspiration, and a sense of perspective. ALFRED A. ROSENBLOOM A.B., MJ-X., O.D,, DD.S. Dean Illinois College of Optometry euage Recognizing the importance of courtesy in daily living, Emerson once said, Life is not so short that there is not always time for courtesy. ln profes- sional practice, in the social World, in friendship, how much depends upon good manners, upon politeness, upon the ease and poise that rise from good man- ners. By courtesy We do not mean the mere observ- ance of the correct social forms and rules of etiquette. True politeness has its foundation in consideration for others, it comes from the heart. ln a sense, cour- tesy is self perpetuating, for those who practice it will find that they always encounter it. lf We truly possess the virtue of courtesy, we can- not fail to possess the quality of tolerance. By toler- ance, l do not mean a spineless lackluster acceptance l 4 of all modes of behavior. Tolerance is, rather, the attempt to understand the beliefs of others and the motives governing their actions. l-le who lacks tol- erance makes no attempt to understand the point of view of others, to his mind all those whose manner of living, whose political and religious affiliations differ from his own, are wrong. The scriptural ad- monition, Cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, may well be the touchstone of this virtue of tolerance. Consideration for others will prompt sym- pathy and understanding, awareness of our own failings and shortcomings will prompt willingness to judge fairly and kindly the actions of others. Thus, through practicing tolerance for the rights and be- liefs of others, we create the freedom and respect we desire for ourselves. ln order that we do not deceive ourselves into believing that we possess tolerance and considera- tion for others, when we merely accept in a passive apathetic way the behavior of others, we must strive to possess a third virtue - courage. lt takes cour- age to be in the minority, to champion what you believe to be right, against opposition of the majority and the pressure of circumstances. lt takes courage to start from humble beginnings and be undismayed by defeat. lt takes courage to be successful, without becoming arrogant and self-satisfied. lt takes cour- age to stand or fall by your convictions, to uphold the right as you see it, and to refuse to compromise for the sake of expediency. lf we possess courage, we will find it fosters a climate in which still another virtue may flourish - that virtue is loyalty, Loyalty to others - our coun- try, our profession, our friends - must grow out of loyalty to our own values and standards of conduct. To thine own self be true , says the poet, then thou cannot be false to any man. Only through the practice of loyalty, can we realize the ideals of our profession. As we maintain a steady quiet fidelity to all obligations as an op- tometric practitioner, we will reach not only the solution to many problems facing our profession but also a fulfillment of our own professional aims and aspirations. Loyalty to our profession demands that we pre- serve and develop the virtues of intellectual curiosity. Without it we are spiritless and dull plodders, giving only superficial allegiance to the demanding and ever-expanding problems of optometric growth. l-ligh adventure, challenge and the discipline of the guest for understanding are all benefits we may reap for both ourselves and our profession as we strive for and nurture the virtue of intellectual curiosity. Without the virtue of ambition, we may sit and wait, serene in our wisdom, and do little to justify our existence or to make the world a better dwelling place. lt is important that your aspiration as an op- tometric be a worthy one, and not for material bene- fits alone. This quality, when it is a virtue, is not a selfish desire that has no thought for others but a spirit that raises a tumult in your soul, urging you to reach upward. True, you may never completely achieve your aspirations, but A man's reach should exceed his grasp Or what's a heaven for? Keep the lamp of ambition burning brightly, for it lights the path of achievement. All the qualities named could become flaring torches that would blind us, rather than lamps to light our way, if we lacked a sense of humor. Psy- chologists have wisely pointed out that a sense of humor is a signification of the existence of that most desired and hard-won quality, maturity. We cannot all have wit, but lacking a sense of humor, we lack a sense of perspective. Without perspective, we become pompous and dogmatic, without per- spective, we lack that moderation which is the very essence of virtue, Commencement marks the beginning of your professional life. The road is not an easy one but your striving to hold aloft the lamps of virtue will bring the deep satisfaction that comes from achieve- ment worthily won. f X v Q , ZW s X , f y J .r f JX QA f XS? f 1 Q The Illinois College of Optometry stems from an institution founded in Chicago in l872 to teach the special skills required to examine eyes and correct deficiencies in seeing. This pioneer institution was the Northern lllinois College of Ophthalmology and Otology. lnterest in the new methods of examining and correcting human vision grew rapidly. By the early l9UU's, when the first optometry laws were en- acted to establish higher standards for visual care, the college was engaged primarily in teaching and disseminating new refractive and diagnostic tech- niques. During the last fifty years, the profession of op- tometry has enjoyed unparalleled growth and devel- opment. The college has consistently developed into one of the outstanding optometric institutions in the country. Subsequent to its founding, the Northern lllinois College of Ophthalmology and Otology merged with the Needles lnstitute of Op- tometry, and the name was changed to the Northern lllinois College of Optometry. In H925 a new charter was granted for this institution. Meanwhile, in 1937 the Monroe College of Op- What 9 tometry was founded in Chicago, and in l947 be- came the Chicago College of Optometry. Both the Chicago College and the Northern lllinois College established splendid records of performance in op- tometric education, and in lanuary, 1955, the respec- tive Boards of Trustees of each college voted to merge the two institutions into one outstanding in- dependent college under the new name of the Illinois College of Optometry. Thus, from its humble beginnings nearly a cen- tury ago, the lllinois College of Optometry became the professions largest as well as its oldest educa- tional institution. The combined alumni number lO,UOU optometrists or approximately fifty per cent of all practitioners in the United States. ln addition to serving every state in the Union, the college has graduated optometrists from a large number of other countries throughout the world. Dedicated to the highest standards of education, the objectives of the college have always been to provide its students with a background of prepara- tion which combines the best of the traditions of the past with the most advanced developments of the present. x f . f X My-22:22 f y -fz ,f x mn, WAN - W4 ' 'f 4- nj, 'f , , ,,-vp ,f x,g,f ,.,: , ,fiirm rx' '. 1 , 0, -.

O.D., D.O.S. f J President f Q Q it 44, t I Premdent Q4 eiwage Never in the history of the profession of optometry have there been so many excellent opportunities for the new practitioner. Against a background of an expanding national economy and a rapidly increasing population, optometry has placed in your hands the achievements of many years of research, educa- tional development and professional advancement. The need for your profes- sional services has never been greater or more sought after, and the means of serving humanity has never been so clear. Yet, even with these splendid opportunities so near at hand the admonition must be offered that opportunity begets responsibility. The advantages which have been attained by slow, painful effort and sacrifice, and which have been placed before you as your birthright in optometry, cannot and must not be taken for granted. You, the new generation of optometrists, must assume the burdens of safeguarding the achievements and progress of the past, and more, must provide the leadership which will assure greater progress for the future. Yes, these are wonderful times of opportunity, but they also bring great challenges. Will you as professional men and as citizens rise to meet these challenges and reap the rewards within your grasp? Your teachers and admin- istrators are confident that you will, and send you into the ranks of the profes- sion with their most sincere wishes for professional careers that will bring many years of success and happiness, EUGENE W. STR!-XWN, OD., DOS. President , ,... 6q,.W7J , .,,. A AM. g ., 1 f, vi' MORTON L. ABR!-XM. LL.B.. D.O.S. Vice-President Uice-lorcwident li llieuage One of the most important criteria of a professional calling is the quality of its educational programs. This has long been recognized by the optometric profession as indicated by its long-range programs in establishing standards of education, accreditation procedures and methods of assistance to its schools and colleges. Illinois College of Optometry, the professions oldest college of optometry, is proud of its long record of achievements and of the large number of graduates Who have distinguished themselves as leaders in the profession. This enviable reputation, however, cannot be taken for granted. Each succeeding class of graduates must undertake the responsibility of helping to assure the continuance of the high standing of his Alma Mater by living up to the highest standards of professional performance and by supporting his institution to the fullest extent possible. Every alumnus Wants to be proud of his college. Regardless of the universal, age-old anxiety to reach the terminal point of his educational process, every student will nonetheless retain a spiritual bond with the institution which confers his degree, The only Way in which any educational institution can maintain the standards expected by the profession and its alumni is by attracting to its doors the kind of student who is intel- lectually capable of meeting those standards. What better Way of serving Alma Mater? Surely it is not asking too much of an alumnus to assume the responsibility of being alert to the possibility of referring Well qualified young people to his own college and thereby help to main- tain high educational standards, and at the same time perform an important service to his profession. lllinois College of Cptometry has derived much of its support over the years from its alumni. You, the present student body, Will soon join the ranks of the many thousands who received their degree from our institution, Your Alma Mater will need your help to continue to fulfill its vital role in optometry. We are confident that We will have it. With every good Wish for health and success to our graduates, MORTON L. ABRAM, LLB., D.O.S.

Director of Clinics Until yesterday, your clinic work was supervised and guided, and the staff was ready to discuss and explain each case. Now with your newly earned degree, honor and privilege, the first responsibility facing you is the necessity to be your own judge, to decide for yourself. This responsibility leads perhaps to the greatest satisfaction in the knowledge that you, yourself, can ,offer this splendid service upon which so much depends in our modern world.

Gur clinical experience is our very beginning in what is to be a lite-long task, our contact and assistance in the preservation ot human vision. lt is only a start, but it is here that our fundamental ideas and grow- ing pains oi real thinking are molded. Here We have the opportunity to meet our iirst real live patient. We listen to the complaint and make the examination, but unlike the years to come, here alone We may Watch and listen to the advice oi our superiors, the clinic stait, While they criticize our Work, correct our mistakes, and help make the diagnosis. This was the beginning, but a slight l5O patients later, We have learned and come to understand the reasoning oi these men and now with graduation in sight tind ourselves more capable. There is still much, much to learn and to master, but the die is Dr. C. W. Hayle Dr. l. Shepherd Clinic Slaff cast and now we shall be on our own. This learning and molding and doing is the clinic's gift to each of us, the seed from which to develop. The time con- sumed, now past, seems short but the knowledge gained will remain indefinitely as the keystone of our future. Each year, each graduating class undoubtedly feels much the same and their clinical internship is their guiding light in the dark beginning but in l956 we were doubly blessed: for that year, for the first time, we were two schools in one. The union of Chicago College and Northern lllinois College brought together the teachings and avenues of thought of both institutions and their methods of prac- tical application in the clinic situation. Two clinics have been maintained, each with its own staff, but with student interns serving both. We are truly grateful to the staffs of both clinics for the practical knowledge they have given us.

With that ending just about within our far point, we might glance back over our shoulders and reminisce a bit. ln September of '53, quite a motley crew was thrown together at l849 Larrabee Street. And in the beginning, they were in darkness! - Cr was that just the introduction to optometry course with Doc Chris- takos? And the darkness seemed to cover the earth! - 'Cuz after we left l. O., we really entered the realm of the unknown - Chris' T. O. course from Emsley! But then, the light was separated from the darkness in a G. O. course from a real gentleman and a scholar, Dr. Tennant who was of invaluable assistance through- out the three years in clinic. Could we ever forget our four rather quiet and re- served, but smelly, buddies, who were literally torn apart on the Larrabee Street third floor? Despite the odor, it proved interesting enough, thanks to Dr. Tobiasz - especially when the whole class was casting lots to see who'd do the skinning and scraping for four hours on the cadavers. Then there was the physiology course in which nothing was cut and dried and the physiology lab, with assistant Brockheim drawing pictures on the Kymo- graph paper - and no one dared let their rat die - anything else, but not die!! And everyone spent a whole semester in the lab next door on fourth floor looking into microscopes, even if most of them didn't know they were supposed to place a slide on the scope first, and Bob Barnes was there leading the class in a chorus of This is the way we wash our hands . lt was interesting also to look at all the monsters in the agar plate exposed in Bill's Lunch Boom - where we packed 38 deep to see the World Series on his flicker photometer TV set. ln physiological psych, with the semester half over, Dr. Dulsky Crest his soul!! had to show a few of the fel- lows where the classroom was, and informed them what times the class met. And how could we forget Dr. Benell's fillin' the blank courses with Bob McNair's minus cylinder axis on the nerve cell! And Betinoscopy down in the boiler room with. Sysejko's Dr. Hoss, me no see reflex! and a few of the boys trying to scope their own eyes! And ophthalmic drafting with Dr. Seligman, who was so ably replaced by Dr. Berg and his rat food burner he called a pipe. We were honored with other profs too, like Dr. Manas in visual training and statistics, in which we learned to select blue balls from red balls! And then there was Dr. Katz, whose favorite statement to a dazed and amazed class was, Ulf there are no questions, l'll go on! - and he usually did. We left our beautiful Larrabee Street campus for our second professional year and continued our en- deavors in the new school at Technology Center. We came out of the first year almost unscathed, although we lost Hollowell, Fredrickson and Kornberg, but gained much Cmuch?l in the person of a Wisconsin Bus- sian jet pilot - Bud Shannon - returning from a tour of duty. This second year was spent with such notables as Dr. Harry Pine and his Helpful Household Hints and Dr, Hoss with his Tribune Want-ad Memorizing 'T 'id'-' Course as so aptly stated by one of the four horsemen, Denny LeBoy. Dr. Wodis surely could draw pretty pic- tures at 8:00 in the morning in ocular anatomy, and where in the world did Dr. joe Shepherd get those tests in physiological optics? And we were learning all about retinal slip and the silage effect Cor is it SlLOl at north side clinic from Dr. Manas four hours a week. And Dr, Abram was telling us why Drs. A and B were ethical and professional. Did Harvey Wayne ever get shook up in Chris' physical optics course with seventy-leven derivations, and making drawings for Dr. Wodis. We had quite a time with minny, minny, rninny and verry very interesting ocular pathology courses with Dr. Brodnax - and the white mustache with two fingers was a carcinoma!! Dr. Schoen was invalidating the No. 5 and No. l4A for the Navy, prescribing for night myopia, and talking to somebody in the middle of the aisle in class. During this time, we were in clinic - forgetting to add working distances, doing X-cylinder tests without X-cylinders, and taking phorias . This was a good and a profitable year, and toward the end, we knew we'd be coming back to a new school, and a new staff for our last professional year as a result of the merger with N. l. C. O. We lost one of the four horsemen, Sol Kaufman, to Uncle Sarn the second year, but we still had the rest of our jolly group. There was Carlos - the Latin lover and gun run- ner from Columbia - Tellezg and lvan fVan, the storm window man from up northl Hamberg. Shelly Shatz was still setting the profs straight, and Ed Bujak was still trying to tell Chris about that patient of his. MacKay was still falling asleep just as he did behind the phoro- meter in subjective lab. Begner, Gross, and Le Boy went to the Golf Day, and shot way below par on Hoss' test the next day. Richards was still trying to go to Puerto Bico, or was it South Africa, in which he proved Donder's Table didn't hold. Mac McFadden was the best Electro-Lux salesman l. C. O. ever had, and probably the best bar- tender P. T. U. ever had. Shannon drove from north St, Louis every day to class. Gleason was either being a librarian or playing Dragnet in Evanston for the North Shore, that cotton-pickin' rebel, justice was skippin' for Major Acceptance, CSkips and classesll Sergeant Ward still had his bus leaving in one min- ute. Bick Feingold gave up on his sectors in Chris' physical optics and Bob Abraham could still get the boys a good deal - especially palm-ease! And Berne Pearl was leading the class in more ways than one. lrv Collins was popping flash bulbs and Gene Hadden was as quiet as ever. We can't forget three good O. E. Phi men, Dave Sprecher, Mike Gardner, and Al Russo. And Chuck Nappe wasn't letting grass grow under his feet. Haaji Baba De Franco was keeping the boys happy singing his commercials. Yup! lt was a pretty motley crew. This third professional year was a pretty good il- lustration and application of the Increased Tension theory, but it served us well and prepared us even bet- ter for our future work as optometrists. As we look to the rosy future through Softide No. 3, are we certain we really want to graduate as badly as we think we do? - Well, l hope to shout we do!!! Good Luck and God Speed everybody!

CMAJ 0 anuafry, 195 7 ln February, 1954, our class first met as a unit to be addressed by the administration of Chicago College of Optometry. That first day we were to be impressed by the dean, the president and especially by the total at the bottom of the list of supplies, which we were told were absolute necessities. That, in particular, staggered us since in none of our communications with the school had we been told of trial cases, diagnostic sets, trial frames, etc. Nevertheless, the great majority of us dug deep and decided to stick it out. That first semester in the Larrabee School, we came to know Dr. lohn lit will all clear up in the endl Christakos, who taught us G. O., T. O. and l. O., all of which were later classified in our notebooks as 'Chris' Optics. Dr. Ed- ward Cthis is absolutely the latest word on vitaminsj Tobiasz introduced us to human anatomy and physiology, AND the cadaver with whom we spent four hours every Wednesday afternoon. Dr. Leo lit will all show up in your gradesj Manas gave us our first real taste of optometry in his lab, where we learned to hand-neutralize lenses. Last, but by far not the least remembered instructor of that memorable first semester, was Dr. Mandel Ctrip to the moon or there must be a hand up that sleeve, l can see a piece of chalk sticking out? Berg who instructed us in light rays from Mars, lupiter and other celestial bodies converge ing on the earth's surface. During that first semester we, who came from dif- ferent states and different social, economic and religious backgrounds, grew to know each other and learned to work together towards our common goal. During subsequent semesters, we learned T. O. from Dr. Z. B. Cgolden nug- getsl Schoen, who taught us all about sonameters and murrs , and Dr. loseph Clightningl Katz. We learned UD neuro-anatomy and general path- ology from Dr. D. D. Ctropical uniforml Michaels who elevated himself to the top rung on the popularity ladder with his timely comment regarding the parking problem in the school parking lot. Along the way we met and grew to have a deep affection and respect for Dr. E. B. Tennant Cgood morning boys and girlsl who taught us that even the most difficult of subjects can be explained in very simple terms, We were later to grow to know him and respect his methods even more when he worked with us in the clinic. Dr. loseph is that what it says in the book?J Shepherd taught us physiological optics according to Adler . Dr. Hyman Cthose are beautiful drawingsl Wodis introduced to the practice of eyelid averting in his ocular anatomy course and taught us ocular pathology, but mostly we learned about Hadvice to a new patient and secretaries . . . The last of our instructors has been left until the end, because he will undoubtedly be remembered until the end. l'le is the possessor of the most expressive vocabulary of any of our in- structors. This, of course, is that small package of formidable dynamite, Dr. A. B. CKrytok's are a da-good bifocall Hoss. We hold the questionable distinction of having stayed on the semester system while the rest of the school changed from semesters to quarters and back to semesters. We look forward to the future, with high hopes. We have lived here, had good times here, and we will be sad and happy to leave here now that our time has come. FREDERICK WM.

Three years and one merger might be an adequate description of our optometric educa- tion. ln fact, we have survived two deans, two schools, two faculties, but only one treasury. Admittedly, the treasury has given us the most difficulty. Now, at the conclusion of our pro- fessional education, the class has become Cso they sayl more or less integrated. Our first act as a combined class was the election of officers for the school year of l955 and l956. Earle Hunter, as president, Sylvio L. Dupuis as vice-president, Bobert Powell as sec- retary and Frank Kozin as treasurer received our votes and quite ably performed their re- spective duties. A quick survey was made of the 58 mem- bers of the class with the following results. Twenty-five have taken the vows and have someone to watch over them. These men land their wivesl boast a grand total of l8 children, with Ed Choryan leading the field with three little deductions. The average age of the class is 24 years, with more than one getting bald. Thirty-four have honored Uncle Sam with their services, and l6 hail from optometric families. A total of 37 members have been initiated into various fraternities on campus. ln a few years we will recall how rough we had it in our second year at the lllinois Col- lege of Optometry. The wars over wearing all whites in the clinic, the combined treasury which was used as a flower fund, and the clinic schedule will be out by Christmas will be but memories. Maybe we will think how touching it would have been if Larry or Stan had gotten a The way in which our class meetings became riots and Dr. l-loss' quiet man- ner will bring smiles. We have learned that an example of pur- CIJAA 0 une, I suit movement would be watching a secretary walk down the hall, and that l-lering is more than a fish. The library was a place in which we could study - Life and Esquire. We found that another name for ptomaine poisoning was a bachelors dinner. For l956 and l957 the class elected Ed Choryan president, Bill Kramer vice-president, Dick Wolken secretary, and Stan l-lerr treasurer. While the number of men with military service remained constant, the married percentage went up over the summer months, and the popu- lation increase continued to flourish. Many cigars were passed out during our stay at l. C. O., and from the looks of things to date, El Bope will sell a few more boxes of smokes quite soon. This class had the honor of being the first to use the new clinic, and all agreed it was a decided advantage over Building C . Another wish came to pass when both Larry and Stan did drop down to a B plus once. Bogged down as we were with papers COEPD, test schedules, clinic, visual training co- ordination, etc, the class still had a good turnout for the dances and social events of the year. A schedule of forums and seminars with ex- ceptional guest speakers was initiated under the guidance of the dean. Class meetings continued to be the same quiet riots as during the previous year, and life was never dull. As the last class to ever be from North- ern lllinois College of Optometry and Chicago College of Optometry, our mother institutions, this class leaves with a sense of obligation, not only to those two original alma maters, but to lllinois College of Optometry and the many classes yet to follow us.

This group of men from most of the 48 states, Hawaii, Puerto Bico, and Yugoslavia was to be the first class to enter the college under its new name of Illi- nois College of Optometry. Along with the excitement of the first day there was some anxiety. After enrolling in either Northern Illinois College of Optometry or Chicago College of Optometry, these students were in the first class of a new college, I. C. O, The big city was enough to upset many of the men, especially those from small communities. The burning desire to become a Doctor of Optometry was strong enough to overcome all problems, and the class was ready for the future. At the end of orientation week most of the uneasiness was gone. Everyone was feeling fine about being able to attend a new school with the best clinic facilities in the nation. Class elections were held, and Dick Getman was elected president. His fellow officers were Norman Monroe, vice-president, Larry Yamamoto, secretary, and Robert Mobley, treas- urer, Social life began quite early as the boys discovered a settlement of nurses only a few blocks away and discovered that Chicago offered many diverse activities. Studies soon began to interfere with the night life as obstacles like G. O., Ott, and sphenoid began to creep into the lives of the students. The neophyte optometrists discovered, too, that there was more to a bone than met the eye, and in the future they will be reminded of the brain model and the interest it created as they refer to the green, gray, and pink manuals. The big social event was the spring dance which the class sponsored. The committee of Hal Seldin, Dave Simon, Therison Bradshaw, Bob Bisch, and Tom Murray did a fine job of plan- ning. The dance was held at the Belmont Yacht Club, and it was considered by many as the most successful event of the year. The class was pleased when Neal Denny's wife was selected as Oueen of the Ball . The class of '58 found the second professional year even more interesting and exciting than the previous year, This was natural since they were digesting the meat of optornetry. Courses such as C. P. lab., ocular anatomy, P. O., and, of course, optometry, delved into the basic principles of the profession, As Iune approached, a more serious and thoughtful attitude replaced the previous care- free air of the group. The cause of the change in attitude was the magic word CLINIC , When the thoughts of real live patients passed through the minds of the students they rea- lized that soon they would be faced with the responsibility of doing refractions and prescribing. It was a pleasant thought, though, to know that soon they were to put into practice the knowledge they had attained. Having mastered the problems they encountered, the juniors are now ready to descend upon the clinic and replace the tired old seniors. The class of l958 now has but one step to climb up the ladder to attain the coveted degree of Doctor of Optometry. Iohn N. Betz President Don R. Abernethy Vice-President Earnest N.

Root Secretary An ancient adage tells us You must learn to walk before you can run . And so the truth of this proverb has been borne out to us in our first professional year. Each and all, are anticipating the swift arrival of 1959. Our common goal cannot be attained too soon, but with every passing day in class we realize the vast complexity of the optometric profession. To some of us this has been a rude awakening, and to others who know more exactly what to expect, new facets in the field of visual care have presented themselves. As a class we first met in September, l956, and soon realized that we were not a homogeneous, stereotyped group, but rather, that we were a cross sam- pling from all over the United States and several foreign countries. Our educa- tional backgrounds differ greatly as do our ages. To the composite picture, everyone has some distinct experience to contribute. Our lives have taken different paths . . , marriage for some, military service for others, and job experience from such varied fields as sales, opticionery, and aviation. From this picture it can easily be seen that we are a small, but dedicated class in which seriousness of purpose prevails. We say to all that ours is a common determined objective . . . professional optometry. So, in our first year we started our studies with the realization that a solid educational foundation is the prime prerequisite of the modern optometrist. We are now walking slowly, Next year, the pace will intensify. Soon, we will join the ranks of our profession and find our place in optometry's challenging future. Dale L.

The purpose of the Omega Delta Fraternity is to foster the study of optometry, nurture the practice of fraternalism, promote the professional ethics of optometry, and to provide a close bond between the undergraduate optometric student and the men in practice. Alpha Chapter is the oldest chapter of all op- tometric fraternities, installed on Ianuary 23, 1917. lt is rich in tradition and has an alumni who have, throughout the years, evolved into the leaders of the profession, Alpha strives to give the optometric student ad- ditional avenues of education through the medium of guest speakers, educational movies, and field trips to various optometric offices in the immediate locale. Along with the aforementioned academic pro- jects, Alpha offers a social outlet for its members and the school. Approximately one social function a month is planned, giving the fraternity brothers, their Wives and dates, an excellent opportunity to get together in the true spirit of fraternalism.

The founders realized that an organization which would transcend the bounds of race, color and creed, could promote the cause of optometry by encouraging the study of its principles and problems and by striving for higher ethical and educational standards within the profession. The first step in the expansion of the fraternity occurred when the Beta Chapter was established at the University of Rochester in l925. Two years later the fraternity became a truly national fraternity with the establishment of the Gamma Chapter at the former Northern lllinois College of Optometry. Omega Epsilon Phi now has a chapter at all of the optometry schools in this country, including a new chapter at the Central Escolar University in the Philippines, making the fraternity an international organization. The fraternity participates in the in- terfraternity competition in softball, bowling and various other activities. Amidst a turbulent world where friendships, ethics and tolerance could be vanishing, the frater- nity as a stable unit can and must be a force in counteracting the disappearance of these qualities. Omega Epsilon Phi, in its growth from a small group of l5 to an international organization with a mem- bership of over 900, has endeavored to promote bet- ter understanding of the problems which face us daily. lt also strives to promote a spirit of comrade- ship in the search for higher attainments, and the complete respect for each other's religious beliefs. ln this, it is believed, the fraternity has not failed.

During l955-56 the Alpha-Beta Chapter existed at lllinois College of Optometry, with the fundamental precepts of the fraternity being to afford the opportunities and privileges obtained by members of a professional fraternity. To promote the highest standards of op- tometry, to form a close fraternal union among its members, to foster and maintain a spirit of mutual moral aid and support, and to encourage research in the field of optometry, to instill and maintain in the hearts of its members a love of our chosen pro- fession, and loyalty to our alma mater are the principal aims of Mu Sigma Pi. Due to graduation of the membership in lune of l956, the College no longer has a chapter of Mu Sigma Pi. In ter- fraterm ty Conn cl! The lnter-Fraternity Council is a council formed for the purpose of governing and guiding the Various professional fraternities of lllinois College of Op- tometry. The council legislates, by majority decisions, in those areas which, by their nature, affect all frater- nities rather than any individual fraternity, The membership is composed of two delegates from each of the recognized fraternities which are: Gamma Omega Phi, Omega Delta, Omega Epsilon Phi and Phi Theta Upsilon, The chair is held by each of the fraternities for equal periods of time, The lnter-Fraternity Council also acts as the of- ficial liaison body between the administration and the individual fraternities when the need arises.

During the school year of l956 and 1957, Tomb and Key elected to honorary membership Dr. Rupert Flower, President of the American Qptometric Asso- ciation. Dr, Flower accepted the membership at a student assembly held in his honor. Tomb and Key has announced that Dr. Roy Teshima has been asked to act as its sponsor in the place of the late Dr, Carl Shepard whose absence will be keenly felt by the entire optometric profession.

With complete co-operation and encouragement from the college administration, the Student Council functioned as the authorized representative body of the students, The immediate problem facing the council Was a smooth and co-ordinated merger of two separate and distinctive student bodies. While the administration was struggling with curriculum integration, the council was Working equally hard at integrating these student bodies and traditions. lt was felt that tremendous strides Were made in this first year, and the beginning of one of the finest schools in the country was off to an auspicious start. Officers were elected, committees Were appointed, and meetings were held regularly. Social activities were planned and scheduled, an athletic program at the intramural level was initiated, plans were made for an all-college yearbook to be produced by a staff of volunteers from the student body. From time to time, recommendations Were made to the Dean in an effort to improve conditions in Whatever area problems arose.

While ICO-lated married men baby-sit or strug- gle with toric diagrams, 21 points, or co-ordinations, their wives attend educational and social meetings twice monthly. Officers are elected and committees appointed semi-annually so that the Dames Club can function with parliamentary procedure smoothness. The purposes of the organization are to promote and foster understanding in optometry, to function as a social and educational organization acting as a medium through which to present to the public and interested groups information pertaining to sight and conservation of vision, to provide a means of pre- paration for members in future auxiliary activities, and to teach wives how to be of the utmost assist- ance to their husbands in their future as optome- trists. The Dames Club of Northern Illinois College of Optometry was organized in l937 under the guid- ance of Mrs. Eugene Freeman. In l949 a similar club was organized at Chicago College of Optometry. Through the years both clubs have made good names for themselves by their contributions to their community. The Dames of CCO were acclaimed for their many charitable endeavors. The Dames of NICO received an honor in the l953-54 school year for an office planning project.

After a Let's Get Acquaintedu meeting and an October tea for prospective members, the Dames got down to business and began to become enlightened on the topic of optometry. Dean Richard Feinberg spoke on Illinois College of Optometry and interest- ing facts of the profession, Dr. Walter Lewis, faculty member, on visual training, and Dr. Faye Freeman, American Optical Company representative, on equipment and office furnishings. Dames Club members viewed films entitled Magic Pathway , Wonderland of Vision , and H1953 Winter Olympics . Other educational meet- ings introduced Paul Randolph, senior student, who spoke on parliamentary procedure, Mr. G. Louis Fenner, executive director of the Iuvenile Protective League of Chicago, who spoke on juvenile delin- quency, and Dr. Frank E. Rubovits, who spoke on obstetrics. For socializing, the Dames had a Christmas party, a spring box social for their husbands, and an impressive May luncheon honoring senior members.

The Dames Club had a full schedule of inter- esting activities during l956 and 1957, concentrating for the most part on learning more about optometry and just what optometrists' wives should know and do to help their husbands in the future. One of the most important moves of the year was that of inviting and, upon her acceptance, welcom- ing Mrs. Alfred Rosenbloom, wife of the Dean, as the new sponsor of the Dames Club, to fill the vacancy left by Mrs. Richard Feinberg, Mrs. Rosenblooms enthusiasm and interest in the club will prove to be inspiring to the club in the years to come. The program on optometry this year included as speakers Dr. Glenn Moore, Dr. Alfred Rosenbloom, Dr. Paul Shulman, Dr. Hoy Teshima, and Dr. Leo Manas, all of whom gave the wives helpful hints on what to do and what not to do in the years to come to help their husbands' careers. The Dames also en- joyed a speech made by Mr. Sylvio L. Dupuis. The passing of Dr. Carl Shepard was a great loss to the Dames Club. l-le was a good friend to the club, always willing to speak and help in any way possi- ble. ln his memory the club made a contribution to the American Optometric Foundation Memory Book.

On two occasions the club was invited to the new clinic. The first trip was a tour of the clinic guided by Dr. Rosenbloom, who explained and dem- onstrated how the students work. Dr. Manas spon- sored the second trip for the purpose of familiarizing the Dames with the workings of visual training. This spring the Dames donated S50 to the clinic to establish a room for visual training of children under five years of age and contributed plastic cov- ers for all the training equipment. On the social side, the Dames were also busy. A tea for new wives was given last fall, with initia- tion of new members following a few weeks later. New members were also received at the beginning of the last semester. The club was fortunate to have Dr. l-lelen Robin- son, director of the University of Chicago Reading Clinic, as a guest speaker, She explained the Read- ing Clinic, and impressed the Dames with necessity for improvement of reading skills in all age groups. A money making project was the raffling of a pair of Contact lenses, a scleral tonometer, a visual training vectograph kit, and other prizes at the first dance of the year. A special conrtibution made by the club was a gift to the Hungarian Relief Fund. After a busy and rewarding year, the Dames cli- maxed activities with a luncheon at the Stock Yard lnn held in honor of wives of graduating seniors. MEETING IN COMMONS IN 1956 YET W iff? , .

The lllinois College ot Optometry Glee Club was organized in the spring ot 1956 through the co-opera- tion ot seven charter members. The organization would not have been possible, however, without the willing leadership ot Dr. l-l. E, Nutt, Dean ot the Van- dercook School ot Music. The strength ot the organi- zation is build around Dr, Nutt, who gives freely ot his personal time to meet with the group and to inf struct and lead them in their performances. The size ot the group has grown steadily, with a tew more interested persons joining each time the chorus makes an appearance. The group adopted the name, The Eye Men , when Dr. Nutt 7lae fqe men introduced them as such at one ot their early appearances at the lllinois Qptometric Association banquet. Since that time they have made several appearances in school assemblies and betore local optometric gatherings. They have sung at all gradua- tion exercises since their inception, introducing the school 'Alma Mater which now has been adopted as the otticial school song. The group is presently composed mainly ot graduating seniors, but hopes are that enough inter- est has been stimulated in the undergraduate classes so that the Eye Men can grow in the future and be- come a permanent school organization. Council on ftluic The Council on Ethics and Advancement ot Pro' iessionalism is an organization dedicated to the pro- motion ot ethical and professional optometry. Since its inception in l946, it has remained a leading or- ganization Within our college. lts membership is made up ot students from all the classes, and gradu- ate members in all 48 states Throughout the school year, many eminent optometrists speak before the council on various topics such as practice building, economics, inter-professional relations and optometry in general. Recognition is made of those graduating stu- dents who have maintained active membership in the council. COUNCIL ON ETHICS - 1955-1956 Seated: Harold Regner, E. Miles, Dr. Richard Feinberg, F.

Square and Compau C7116 The Square and Compass Club Was organized at Illinois College of Optometry through the major efforts of a group of interested Masonic members, lt was actually a reorganization since there were similar clubs at the mother institutions prior to the merger, The group meets periodically to discuss Masonic ideals and matters which they, as a group, can promote. The officers of the organization are Bert Corwin, president, William Kramer, vice-president, Robert Sedlock, treasurer and tyler. Dr. Alfred A. Rosen- bloom, dean, acts as the clubs sponsor. The group held an organizational luncheon in the Commons which was attended by Dr. Eugene Strawn, Dr, Rosenbloom, Dr, Glenn Moore, and other outstanding local optometrists. One of the primary achievements of the organi- zation this year was to publish and distribute an all- school directory, which they feel Will be of tremen- dous value to the entire student body. To further extend the air of fraternal relations, they have extended an invitation to all De Molays at Illinois College of Optometry to become members of the group.
