Dearie, do you remember when Dr. Cline told us all . How he made that pigeon fall, Yet he'll have the thanks of us all For a better planned course you cannot recall. YVell if you do, then you can't have pulled out as many sheets of paper as I. Dearie, do you remember when you studied your Physics and Physical Optics IVith Good joe IVright and his verbal antics. Remember Mr. Brin and his course on semantics, And Mr. F ogg-how dull and unromantics. IVell if you do, then you're much happier than you were. Dearie, do you remember when it was retinoscopy and keratometry . Ophthalmoscopy and strabismometry Accommodation and Convergence, and their relation, And oh, what you would have done for a vacation. IVell if you do, then you've mulled it over as often as I. Dearie, do you remember when school used to be . . . Until only a quarter after three. But came MSO, your good old Alma Mater YVhere from morn 'til night you sat and grew fatter. YVell if you did, then Dearie, you're as calloused as me. Dearie, do you remember when we had those softball games . WVasn't it a shame never to win some games, YVe played like a bunch of half-lames Trying so hard to please all those cute little dames. YVell if you do, then you're as charlie-horsed as I. Dearie, do you remember when good Dr. Bruce . . Would tell a joke and excuse How fair he was to all of us In covering the whole syllabus. YVell if you do, then you know a good man now-a-days is hard to find. Dearie, do you remember the awful heat from july through September . How you wished you could be 'way down by the sea At Revere or Nantasket, with a lunch in the basket Enjoying the cooling shade with a bronzed mermaid. Well if you do, then you sweated it out with me. Dearie, do you remember when you had ten minutes to call your own . Recall if you will, the bar and the grille XVhere you sought respite, from your study's delight From Alfred to YVorth's you gayly would prance, But usually wound up in a wonderful, happy trance, YVell if you do, then you must have been feeling as good as I. Dearie, do you remember when we took Perimetry and Orthoptics . . The phorias and strabismics, The theories so old and strong. That Dr. YVhitney tactlfully proved to be wrong. WVell if you do, then you must be as confused as I. PAGE TWENTY-TWO
