CARVIN, O.D. ELIZABETH J. CLEARY A. B., M. Ed. 44am Zire Ealilaa ,,,, N'Ve have always looked forward to the day when we would have to compose our last editorial with great anticipation, for it would mean our ascendence into the world of op- tometry and finally leaving our school-days behind us, and yet somehow now that the time has arrived. it is not as full of joy as we thought it would be, nor do the words flow as easily as they usually do. It is not only the realization that for many of us it will mean the end of strong ties of friendship that have developed over the past few years, that makes us sentimental, but also the knowledge that we are now leaving the relative security of the school to go out into the world to try and carve our own little niche in some corner and act as a torchbearer of optometry, klll optometry which we know is a profession, but it is up to us, todays graduates, to convince the public and other professions by our mode of practice of the same. llle cannot impress this point too strongly, i. e. that it is up to every individual practitioner to instill himself with the strict- est code of ethics that he knows of, so that the plane of practice among optometrists will be the same, and is of the highest professional level. Wle all know that the populace in general is uninformed as far as the practice, purpose, and organization of optometry is concerned and it is only us, who through our behavior, demeanor, type of practice and deepest beliefs can make the public cognizant of the fact that optometry is a profession. Then any doubts, smears, or aspersions cast at us from any direction whatsoever will only arouse the public's ire and meet with general disapproval. During the past two years we have gone on many a crusade and our last editorial would not really be one, if there weren't a point we were trying to convince our fellow schoolmates of. I.Ve believe that the gradu- ating class should make plans now, before graduation, to appoint a permanent commit- tee to keep in touch with all the members of the class as well as to make hazy plans for a reunion of the class five or ten years hence. so that those friendship bonds we spoke of previously will not be snapped off suddenly. but kept together in a very loose fashion. So let's get together. class, and stay that way! Last. but not least, we have to give credit where it is due and as such we want to offer our deepest gratitude and appreciation to- Meyer Izbitsky. whose encouragement, clear-thinking editorials and valuable assis- tance in the preparation of 'iThe Scope at critical times. as well as transporting us to the printer countless times, lightened our task considerably.
