THE SCOPE lPit Otnniioiroin Sigma Fraternity By ROBERT C. HYLAND, '35 The Pi Omicron Sigma Fraternity opened its activities for the year on Thursday evening, October Sth, by holding a smoker at the school for the members of the -junior Class. The purpose of this smoker was twofold, being, to have the students become bet- ter acquainted with each other, and to have them obtain an idea as to the activities of the fraternity. Dr. Ralph Green of the Alumni and the Faculty was the guest speaker and his talk on fraternalism aroused much enthusiasm among the members and students present. After a vveek of pledging. sixteen terrified candidates were initiated into the frat- ernity on the evening of November oth. The initiation ceremony took place at the Grand Army Hall in Arlington and was enjoyed by all. During the year the fraternity has sponsored a series of educational lectures having as guest speakers such prominent men in Optometry as Dr. Hovvard C. Doane. Chairman of the Massachusetts State Board of Examiners. Dr. Clinton R. Padelford. Dr. XVilli.t.'n Smith and Dr. james Collins of the Colonial Optical Co. The greater part of these lectures were open to the student body and the fraternity again wishes to express its gratitude to the above men for the time and effort they have expended in order that they might assist the students in solving the many problems of the profession. On Thursday evening, October 29th.. the annual Halloween dance was held .tt the Hotel Vendome. This dance was a decided success and it is hoped that next year it will be possible to have these enjoyable social functions more often. The final meeting of the fraternity was held on Wednesday' evening, May I ltlt, .tt the school. The election of ofiicers for next year took place and following this the mem- bers adjourned to dinner and the theatre. The ofiicers elected for the year 1932-1955 are: Chancellor-Dearborn L.
