W VT TSLEWS C O P E tlliuiiiiiiioit Class History By JOHN T. BEDIELL, '53, We, the Class of '33, have reached the halfway mark. To most of us the summer will be a welcome interlude, if only for the purpose of reviewing and absorbing this year's work. Ours has been the largest class in the history of M. S. O., notwithstanding .ne absence of the mysterious Mr. Chill, and on the whole our year has been very successful, both from the academic and social viewpoint. Few of us have felt the sting of failure, and many have made noteworthy progress in the work. The junior Class has been especially fortunate in having had Dr. 1. Pastal added to an already excellent teaching staff. His enthusiasm for the work has proven most infectious. Dr. Klein, has been extraordinarily patient with us and has given its privileges and advantages which no previous class has ever enjoyed. New equipment 3.5.11 been added, and our quarters enlarged. ln fact. every facility has been provided. ex '-,' ry encouragement oifered, to aid us in doing our best. We wish to extend profound thanks to each and every member of the liaculty for their earnest efforts in propounding sulfi- cient and lucid material to lay a firm foundation for the absorption of more intricate knowledge of a most complicated and scientific study. Socially the year has been a tremendous success. A large majority of the class are active and interested members of the fraternity. Wife but hope that we can continue the good work that was propagated by the graduating class and make this organization, the Pi Omicron Sigma Fraternity, a worthwhile and beneficial body to be associated with. Our class dance in April was well attended and supported. We assumed the role of pioneers in that we were the first class to sponsor a like function in a night club. It was strictly informal and thoroughly enjoyed. Those present reflected proper credit on the profession and the occasion elicited much favorable comment. The annual trip to Southbridge, a yearly invitation extended by the American Optical Co. to visit their enormous plant, far exceeded expectations. It was decidedly inf teresting and instructive. We wish to thank the American Optical Co. and we might add it is with pleasure that we anticipate next year's visit. It is with regret that we say goodbye to the Senior class. We are indebted to them greatly for the willing co-operation and assistance they have given us, in studies and social functions, and in helping to orient ourselves at school. To them we extend our heartiest well-wishes for continued success in their chosen profession-Optometry. We hereby make the fervent avowal that we, as students and professional man. shall do all within our power, in offering our little mite, to propel Optometry to the highest heights and we shall guard zealously its good name and future. l23l

IHIIEZIRIMIAN IKIIJIEZIIN SIPJIEAIKS Informal talllk welll reeeiived On Tuesday, May IO, 1952 the Senior Class was given a very interesting and il- luminating heart to heart talk by Dr. Herman Klein, a younger brother of the Registrar. Dr. Klein explained many line points of the shop side of the work and then went on to give a few practical details in Hoiiice psychology. The younger member of the re- nowned Klein family fairly oozed personality, and his method of presenting what seemed an extemporaneous talk made a great hit with the students, He spoke to the students as man to man and particularly stressed ethics and professionalism of which he left the impression of being a walking exponent. I-Ie closed his informal talk by inviting all to visit his oliice at their disposal and it would not be at all surprising if he had many visitors from M. S. O. Gooo MEDICINE Nurse: Are you going to give my pa- tient something to slow down his heart action? Doctor: Yes, an elderly nurse.

What was the cause of the collision at that corner today? Two motorists after the same pedes- trian. 's W1LL's ERROR The twins had been brought to be christened.
