VVILLIAM O. VIVIAN THE ADMIN ISTRATION MH 2? i' ALBERT FITCH, OD., F.A.A.O. President oi Coiiege Corporation Dean of Facuity Professor of Qptometricai Practice and Jurisprudence Feiiow, American Academy of Optometrists 10 ean's S dean ot the college, its reputation attects A me materially. The reputation ot a col- lege is based upon its product which is, and can only be, its graduates. Hence, the reputation ol a college is measured by the public, other professions, and members ot the same profession by the success and behavior ol' its graduates in their chosen lield. in order that the college may prepare the student lor as large a measure ol success as it is humanly possible, many lactors must enter into this preparation. This lact is rarely under- stood by the student, particularly by the student in a college ours, whose mission is the pre! paration ol its students to practice a profession which presents great opportunity lor service to manlcind and in lilce measure carries with it great responsibilities. It is my duty as Dean to lceep these responsibilities constantly in mind, and this otten leads to Constant changes loolcing toward increased etticiency. Some ol these changes have been seen by the present graduating class during their undergraduate years and very often the student has not realized their significance. The first evidence the graduf ate has of the value of this constant striving on the part ot his Alma lwater, lor a perfection which can never be reached but must always be the ambition ol all to attain, is when he is conlronted with his State Board examination. Subsequent evidence ol its value is seen as patient atter patient consults him in practice. He will then realize the value ot the funda- mentals which were taught him as cultural and as basic subjects in their application to the professional subjects so necessary as a prepara- tion lor his year ol clinical training. The worlc ol the student during his clinical year may be considered as the acid test ot a studentis fitness to assume the great responsibility which will be his alter graduation. IF a student cannot meet this test, in my opinion he is not a lit essage representative ot his Alma blater, tor it is in the clinic that we are able to determine it the future Doctor ot Optometry has the proper con- cept,ol the professional manis relationship to his patient. lt is there determined if he has protited by the high ideals that have been taught him, if he is able to apply the theories that also have been taught him and it he can correlate the conditions as revealed by the various steps in a complete ocular examination and come to a proper diagnosis and prognosis ot the case, and what is more important, if he can meet the discipline ol institutions caring lor attlicted human beings. It he cannot, then he is untiit to assume the responsibilities ol the professional man as encountered in his private practice. For a man or woman who is not capable ol being disciplined can rarely disci- pline himself. To the class ot 1936 l wish to extend my assurance that l have no tear lor the reputation ot' our college in your hands, tor I expect you to be carried to still greater heights by your acts and ideals. You have passed the very stringent tests we have required and you have proved to yourselves as well as to me, that you are the best prepared eye-specialists who have ever begun in practice. l used the Word Meye- specialistn purposely to include all types, the qualifying words being, ol course, Hbegun practiced, l am, however, trusting that you learned your optometrical jurisprudence well enough to lcnovv the line ot demarcation be- tween the practice ol Uptometry and allied practices. Both as individuals and as a class, l have held the 1956 group in high esteem and l sin- cerely wish to each and every member the greatest possible success. DR. ALBERT FITCH, Dpflll.

He was the mainstay ot many of his less fortunate classmates who tacked the mechanicat dexterity he displayed in txflechanicat Qptics tabs.

SPAHR Tarentum, Pa. Dave is a native of Tarentum, Pa., a small town near Pittsburgh, and accorcting to him the best town in the wortct, even though it is a hit rural. However, we hetieve that he also hotels Philly in rather high regard, if the daily phone calls from the one and only Nlargaret are to he considered. His personality and humor quickly stampect him as one of the most poputar members of the class. His close friendship with HFIip began early in the freshman year, and they have been roommates since, sharing the famous Room 22 with Corctie and Vvatty through- out the junior year. Dave,s aloitities and talents tend toward the basic and practical sciences of Optometryg hut he also proved to he a real student in chemistry and anatomy. He has an aptitude for partatcing in the social life, hoth of the college and of the city, and is a staunch supporter and executive of all the activities of his fraternity fPhi Theta Epsilon, and his ctass. His only comptaint is of the inconsistency of the clinic patients in keeping appointments for the distribution of free glasses. 90 f ,f EDVVARD STEIN Piliiacieipiaia, Pa.

Indeed, the envy of the entire school, that crop of ciiia located upon his upper lip more than typified the growing balanced character that was his.

Christened Joseph, he answers to either Hiioen or uFritz.U The reason: See the previous page. Actually three years older than his brother, he objects to being believed the younger. After taking an A.B. at Catholic University, principally on a language and philosophy diet, he changed to Gptometry because the scientific and professional angie appealed to him. He admits being the most absent-minded member of the class. Dislikes responsibility, but had plenty of it as president of the Phi 'Theta Epsilon fraternity and Business Nianager of the IRIS during his senior year. Likes to let his work accumulate and then read a book to forget about it. Plays unorthodox contract bridge, golfs in three figures, and likes icnotty umathu problems. Favorite pastime is reducing all prob- iems to single formulae. Helped the publication of the IRIS considerably by an extensive advertising campaign, which enabled the composition of a more elaborate and expensive annual. 96 1 If MARTIN WARTELL H W Philadelphia, Pa. ?

He also thinks Philly girls are extremely good-iooicing. By the way, the giri friend is a UQuaIcer.

The veritable ball was started rolling when the annual Freshman Smoker was held under the management of Dr. Deissler. Pleasantries were exchanged and a spirit ol fellowship was uppermost. Alter the newness of being considered upper classmen no longer seemed a novelty, we settled down to a hard year of worlc under the guardianship of Dr. Williams who was re- elected our class advisor. Our heads immediately began to roll with carbon and hydrogen atoms, red and white corpuscles and the like, Vertigo resulted when Tait's Dynamic Technique was ably pre- sented by Drs. E. F. Tait and A. C. Whitaker, Jr. To add to our distress Dr. Curcio presented us with bundles ol light. Then like a whirl- wind we were taught the intricacies of the famous for infamous, Gauss System by Drs Klingaman and Sinn: but the highlight of our educational career came when we went to clinic. The new Pathology equipment and the able teachings oi Drs. Billetdoux and the Claytons helped to dispel the terrors of neo- plasms, degenerations and all the other bug- aboos of this course. However, many a thumb was disabled and sore after the first lew classes in bridge bending. Nevertheless, alter per- severing we won out. Our reward winning us the honor ol listening to Dr. Fitchys lectures on Qllfice practice which gave us a new incen- tive and ambition. ln between all the experiments to be written up and exams to be talcen, a bit of social life was introduced. The outstanding event of this year, the Junior Prom, was held on hlarch 7, IQB6, in the ballroom of the Barclay Hotel. To the dulcet tones of Earl Denny and his famous orchestra, happy couples danced in gayety and enjoyment seldomly matched. Gnly too soon did the orchestra start playing uHome Sweet Homef, All in all the year was one upon which many a pleasant memory rates in later years to be recalled with a smile of sorrow. But now we loolc forward with great hope to the happy status of becoming Seniors in this honorable institution of the Pennsylvania State College ol Qptometry. W Junior iw-aww lili- 'I fan.

Never, since the organization of this fraternal group in 1926, has there ioeen a more complete and successful year as the one just terminated. This fact was evidenced hy the hriiiiant sociai and educational functions heid hy the fraternity during the 1933-36 school year. Starting the year oft with a hriiiiantiy suc- cessful smoicer, the year continued with the piedge period at the conclusion of which, eieven new memhers were inducted into the organiza- tion. The social season was an enormous suc- cess, with an induction dinner dance held in January, and several informal sociais taking' piace throughout the year. The year was iinaiiy culminated with an aiumni reunion and gaia spring format dance in Niay at one of phila- deiphia's hest known country ciuhs. The suc- cess ot the iatter affair was augmented hy an outstanding attendance of fraternity aiumni. Aiso during the year, the fraternity resumed puhiication of its monthly paper which is sent to the alumni memioers ot. the Fraternity and which proved to be an instantaneous success, since it provided a medium for the alumni to iceep in touch with each other after heing sepa- rated hy graduation. The tact that the traternai year was such a great success may he credited to the Chancellor of the organization-iyiartin Vvarteii. Chan- ceiior Vvarteii, aided hy the officers and his carefully selected committees and hy an un- usuaiiy active fraternal hody, is to he com- mended tor the conclusion of a hanner year, and tor keeping the fraternity at the pinnacie that aii fraternities strive to reach and main- tain. At this time, the fraternity wishes to uAdieun to the mernhers that, due to gradua- tion, are leaving the Pennsylvania State Coi- iege of Qptometry. To those men, the remain- ing memhers wish eariy success and promises to carry on the example shown them in carry- ing on the traditions handed down from year to year hy every past member of Gamma Qmega Phi Fraternity.

Thus came into heing the Alpha Chapter ol the Phi Beta Rho Sorority, this chapter con- sisting ot women students enrolled and in good standing at the Pennsylvania State College ot Cyptometry. With untiring efforts the consti- tution and hy-laws were drawn up and in short time the Phi Beta Rho Sorority was well on its way to success. Although the Sorority is still in its infancy it has numerous scholastic and social projects to its credit. Among its fond memories arethe various teas and dinners which have woven together the women in such a fashion as only can he accomplished hy a fraternal organization. The year ol nineteen hundred and thirty- six, with its admission ol seven new sorority sisters, has presented the hest possihilities of advancement to date. The graduating mem- hers, all ot them chartered memhers, feel that with this new lolood, the sorority will Hcarry on leading to greater honors tor the Phi Beta Rho. The Phi Beta Rho with its active zeal for promotion ol? scholarship, creation ol' leader- ship, and instigation ot loyalty is soaring high, and through untiring efforts will reach the pealc ol successg and to the women who are leaving us we say, HAS sisters, the hest of fortune the world offers.

S. C. 0. is not a new organization, for the group has been most useful for several years in providing enter- tainment tor various college functions. Besides the several informal dances held this year, the outstand- ing affair arranged by time Student Activity Council was a cabaret dance-and our attitude is uiway there be more of them. Vvittl the acquisition of the new buildings at Twelfth Street and Spencer Avenue, giving adequate facilities for school dances, the Orchestra became an activity of major importance, and an integral factor of the student body. Dr. Frank NI. Stever, member of the Faculty, has been leader for several years and has given valuable time and boundless enthus- iasm to make the College Orchestra the successful musical coterie it is. 156 DR.
