THE SCOPE History of the Senior Class By D. L. SHAW To-night we have reached that goal toward which we have been striving for the past two years and we pause, on this occasion, to reflect upon the mem- ories we have in common: the common aims and desires which have made our school life a most interesting and enjoyable enterprise. In Sept. 1931, forty-three members enrolled at the Mass. School of Op- tometry to begin their optometric studies and to acquire that knowledge and background so essential to a successful optometric career. Both the nature and number of our studies gave us early assurance of an arduous but interesting task. Early in the nrst semester our class was formally organized and the fol- lowing were elected to office: Pres.-Arthur Minehan of Dorchester, Mass.: Vice Pres.-John Bedell of Salem, Mass.: Sec.-D. L. Shaw of Bangor, Me.: Treas. -Raymond Perkinson of Lynn, Mass. Early in October the Pi Omicron Sigma fraternity held its pledge week. This occasion proved to be very amusing to all non-'participants and many members of our class were fortunate to become members of this organization. The mid-year examinations instilled very strongly in our minds the ne- cessity for hard work, and we returned from our Christmas vacation determined to surmount the formidable obstacles which stood between us and our goal. The first social function in which our class participated was in the nature of a formal dance sponsored by the combined Junior and Senior classes, on Feb. 25 at the hotel Statler. This dance was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. 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 the occasion elicited much favorable comment. The annual visit to the plant of the American Optical Co. at Southbridge ended our activities for the year. Thus we had reached the half-way mark in our school life, and we dis- banded for the summer months with a grim feeling of satisfaction in our ac- complishments both from a scholastic and social viewpoint. In the fall of 1932 the class of '33 reassembled to resume old friendships, and to complete the knowledge of a most complicated and scientific study, op- tometry. This year the senior class has been especially fortunate in having Dr, Na- mias added to an already excellent teaching staff. As a result we feel more fully equipped, from the point of knowledge imparted to us, to follow the science of optometry. At the first class meeting of the year Ralph Gaeta of Union City, New Jersey, was elected president, D. L. Shaw of Bangor, Me. vice-president, Robert Hyland of Pittsfield, Mass. secretary and E. Perry Truesdell of Somerville, Mass. treasurer. The most commendable and enjoyable social achievement of the year was our Senior banquet, held at the hotel Kenmore. Our guest speaker for the eve- ning was Dr. Howard Doane, formerly the chairman of the Mass. Board of Ex- aminers in Optometry. Dr. Doane's contribution proved most befitting of the occasion and was fervently approved and appreciated by all present. Dr. Klein and other members of the faculty extended words of advice and their best wishes to the graduating class and this most enjoyable occasion is now only a memory. We extend our sincere thanks to our president. who was responsible for the suc- cess of our final social enterprise. Our associations have been all too short, our friendships and memories of our school life we will always cherish. l7l
