THE SCOPE Senior Editorial jack llneifzzzzzzb, '3l. Now that we have reached the goal toward which we have been striving for the past two years, we pause in our journey and reflect upon the memories we share in com- mon, as the time has come when it is imperative to gaze into the future and place firmly behind us the things which make up much of what is most enjoyable in school life. September 15th, 1929, marked the beginning of our school journey. On this date the junior class met for the first time to begin building the strong bridge between their present state and their future Optometric life. Little did one know of the strong bond of friendship that would later bind them together as a class. Individual friendship began to spring up and develop very rapidly, primarily because of the assistance one could render another in this work. The studies that confronted us, both from their nature and number, gave assurance of an interesting and arduous task. It took but a short while for everything to get under way and to fall into the full swing of the studies and proper spirit. We had some late comers who hurried to catch up as well as a few of the less courageous who got out of the way, since some believed that discretion was the better part of valor. Early in the first semester the class was formally organized and elections were held with the result that Albert Trombley, Burlington, Vermont was elected president of the junior class, Bernard Mulligan, Salem, Mass., Vice-president and Scott Masters, Rum- ford, Maine, Secretary and Treasurer, Melvin B. Dunbar, Cambridge, Mass. During the first few weeks and up to the first mid-semester examinations the class as a whole was somewhat bewildered due to the showering of lectures delivered to them, however, the students very readily adapted themselves to this attack, as was evidenced by the fact that all the students were successful in passing into the second semester. Fraternity activities then began to occupy the interest of the students in the form of pledging initiates and meetings. Many members were fortunate to become brothers of the Pi Omicron Sigma Fraternity after experiencing the embarrassing antics of wearing bright red bows for several weeks, and the gruesome ordeal of initiation. Shortly afterwards we held a Christmas party with invitations extended to the seniors and members of the faculty. Gifts were exchanged and entertainment was pro- vided by the members of our class. The first relief from this pressure took place during the Christmas and New Yeats vacation which was greatly welcomed by the class members. Then came our participation in the great Junior Prom held at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. It proved to be the most brilliant social affair held by any class in many years. The co-operation and hard work of our members made our dance one of the shining lights in the history of social affairs. l5l
