THE SCOPE Huw, gp Senior Class History BY MARCUS S. SOUTRA As we now complete our course at the Mass. School of Optometry, thus passing one more milestone in our preparation for a career, in what to us is one of the most fas- cinating of all sciences, we ind ourselves looking back with some surprise to realize that it w-as actually two years ago that we, the largest class in the history of the school en- tered the mysterious realms of Optometry. In September 1932 this group of fifty-two men met to organize, selecting as its officers: President, Arthur Collinsg Vice-President, Milton Lebicng Treasurer, Frederick T. Mills and for Secretary our one and only Co-ed, Evelyn Hollander. This first year the class sponsored two well attended dances, and through the ef- forts of Dr. Svendson we enjoyed several lectures by Dr. H. Williain Bencker. The annual visit to the American Optical plant in Southbridge, in May, was con- structive as well as interesting and afforded an excellent climax to our social year. When we returned, i.n the fall of 1933, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the school authorities had chosen new quarters which were much more spacious and pleasant than the former location. With larger rooms, more clinic booths and added equipment we were ready to start a bigger and better year. At our first organized meeting the new ofhcers elected were: President, Manuel Goldberg, Vice-President, Lester Thomas, Secretary, Daniel Kornetskyg Treasurer, Ralph Clements and Sergeant-at-Arms, Ira Schwartz. We were fortunate this year in having added to our already efficient teaching staff, Dr. Paul S. Cline for Theoretic and Physiologic Optics and John Reilly for Psychology to whom we offer our sincere congratulations for the way in which they have presented their respective courses. We have had the distinct advantage of a larger, more eflicient and instructive Clinic under the direction of Dr. Svendson to whom we extend our deepest apprecia- tion for her untiring efforts in making this a tremendous success. Also, under her di- rection, the Clinic sponsored an exceptionally successful bridge-whist for the benefit of the newsboys from the Burroughs foundation. The Senior banquet, held at the Myles Standish Hotel, marked the final social func- tion of this class. The guest speaker, Dr. Harry Messinger extended very useful hints on the detection of Simple Glaucoma and Simple Cyclitis. Dr. Klein and other mem- bers of our faculty offered words of advice and their best wishes to the graduating class. It is with deepest regret that we bring to a close our associations of the past two years. l7l
