, Z, ?46 Weave: It appears as it O. Ii. Phi's last two social events were great successes. Although we were unable to attend the Omega Spree, we were told everyone had a swell time and that we really missed having a ball. However, we need no second hand reports to tell of Dr. Gabitt's lecture at the Hotel Kenmore. Dr. Gabitt described the diagnosis ol the more common eye pathologies, depicting the various disorders in sequence of their ana' tomical location from the lids inward. No one will disagree that Dr. Cabitt's delivery was absorbing and highly entertaining. His descriptions of patient types and some of the verbal phrases used were, to say the least, 'Astartling - -some shocking. Tch. tchl The interfrat soltball game scheduled for April 26 was called because ol rain, thus pre- serving a fat zero in the last column for P. 0. S. By next week we hope to have that altered slightly. Our pitcher is still un- known. Friedman has developed a new pitch, the Caustic Curve, which looks like one Qsicj. Don Robinson, also bidding for the position, has developed what he calls the Base Curve, which batters can't touch with a ten-foot Maddox Rod, so he claims. Nominations were held at the school on April 13 and lor the most part. the candidates were well chosen. The corresponding sec- retary's post is hotly contended for - but which way? Since this issue will go to press before the election, we will not be able to publish the results until the next issue. May those best fit for the olhces be elected. Amen. The next issue may see a new series be- gun in this column to replace the late Sam Diopter. Al Bumen. adventure story writer. has been contracted to supply the story of Sam Diopter's sister.

Due to public demand, ophthalmoscope and retinoscope heads will be availbale on the flashlight-cigarette lighter pen and pencil sets. Designers are now working on a phor- opter attachment to be released in late july. This company is really in the optic groove. Since this is the final issue of The Scope for this term, we wish to extend the best of luck to all in the coming exams and we'll see ya next year tnot you Seniorslj.

Triumph of Research and Engineering.. VERY optometrist knows the mir- acle-like accomplishment that can be worked by a quarter-ounce of glass. The precious gift ofthe ophthalmic lens is that of efficient vision-tool of learn- ing ability, earning ability, and human happiness. But that bit of glass itself is a scien- tiflc triumph of high-ranking impor- tance. The problems involved in making glass of proper optical and physical characteristics defied all attempts in the United States before World War I. Under stress of that military urgency, the first successful American glass was ,X . x af' f L... ,. produced at Bausch 8: Lomb. The re- search and experimentation, the scien- tific and technical skill, that have been put into glass-making technology in the Bausch 8: Lomb plant for more than 34 years since are reflected in the high quality of the glass now produced. On the principle that optical quality begins with glass quality, Bausch 8: Lomb has long accepted responsibility for pioneering in glass making. From this glass come lenses we offer with pride, lenses that merit your highest professional confidence. .. umm. .. NORTHEASTERN DIVISION I -snustnya Loma if m l A My - Formerly Colonial Oplical Co.

DHIDMIDIQE IHDTI . . . Spring! XVhen a young man's fancy turns lightly to thoughts of exams and then eve11 faster tur11s back where it should be. Speak- ing of where something should be, what a softball team we have got this year! Dan VVial hits vicious clothes line drives that roll up to tl1e third baseman, while Irv Hor- witz makes like a court jester by performing with a juggling act, which brings spontane- ous applause, a few pennies a11d slugs. and two runs from tl1e opposition. They tell us that the outstanding rookie is a power-slugger whose initials are L. Z. YVe have been advised to XV2'i1'11 all prospec- tive CXI. ophthalmometrists not to choose Dan Tarullo as a patient. The result of such an ill-chose11 patient leaves the examin- er a1nblyopic. Right, Terry? The sophomore part of the student body has broken out in lettered sweat shirts and tee shirts after Mel Kaplan beat out the cut- throat competition and undersold his com- petitor, Teddy Goolst. NVe don't 11161111 to say that Zolot's sweatshirt is too large, but what in tl1e world is Rosenthal doing under there too? Anatomy laboratory was tl1e scene of some excitement recently when during a stetho scope examination of Jordy Shapiro's heart beat, a distinct samba tempo was discovereil. The samba beat in itself was not too shock- ing, but when it was SllpplCIHCl1fCCl by the grinding of gourds. only then did we suspect that under those bloodshot. 1'CCle1'l1l11I1CCl eyes was a weary musician. . The music world received a long needed shot in the arm when it was learned that Dick Tacelli was furthering l1is ZlCCO1'CllO11 technique with a well known accordion teacher. There is also a nasty rumor that one Dr. VVasserman is the Third Man and plucks a zither. Do you believe it? WVe could really l1ave a terrific orchestra-Shapiro on the drums, Tacelli on the accordion, YVasser- man on the zither. and vocals by Stromboli By Len ZllL'kl'VfJ?'llllIL and Burl Clzcfrnog Horwitz. Some vocalists have pear-shaped tones. but this guy results in barrel-shaped distortions. Lastly we want to wish all our classmates a very good summer vacation, all tl1e local baseball teams a terrific season, and all the graduating seniors tl1e best of l11ck upon their new career.
