E IR I S I934 0 junior Class History t Nineteen Hundred Thirty-three and Thirty-four saw the Class of i935 functioning as juniors. As the intermediate unit in the curricular classifi- cation of the College, our group, colloquially speaking, was on the spot . Not only was it necessary for the Class to equal and even surpass the junior accomplishments of the present graduating group, but also to set new goals toward which the present Freshman Class might strive. Beginning the year under the leadership of the late Rowland H. Smith, the juniors functioned officially as a unit for the first time in tendering the annual smoker to the Freshman Class. The Four Horsemen of comaraderie entertainment, food, tobacco and, above all, common interests combined to make this affair a most unforgettable experience, When later and unforseen events necessitated Rowland's resignation and vice-president Mason W. Pace, who was president of the class during the first year, was once more made president with the unanimous approval of the juniors. A special election, held to fill the vice-presidency, resulted in the selection of Robert Short to the office. The remaining offices of treasurer and secretary were very capably held by Edward D. Sullivan and Edla Fahlen. As a group, the juniors succeeded in setting two precedents which will probably be followed in future years. The first of t-hese constituted the class' decision to join with the Freshmen in supporting the two official school publications: THE PUPIL, the student news organ published monthly, and THE IRIS, the annual published by the graduating class. The second precedent was one which called for much discussion pro and con before being settled. It concerned the Prom, the pride and social province of junior Classes of educational institutions the country over. Should the Prom be made a combined junior-Freshmen affair in the interest of a more pre- tentious, a more representative dance or, should it still be maintained as a strictly junior arranged function? The un-precedented success and brilliance of this year's Prom was proof enough of the wisdom of choosing the former alternative. Arranged by a combined junior-Freslhman committee under the joint fichairmanslhip of Robert Short and Benjamin Sobel, respective vice-presidents of the junior and Freshman Classes, the Prom was held in the North Garden Room of the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel amid surroundings which have few equals in Philadelphia. Some odd hundred couples voted the affair a complete suc- cess from every standpoint. Scholastically, the ji iors have spent a most profitable year. Optom- etry has been molded for them from a mere formless, definitive subject into a vital, purposive profession. Vague horizons have already become familiar landmarks. Need we, as a class, state that we are looking eagerly forward to our Senior Year? One Hundred and N n
