🥳 👓 Break out the party hats and the eye charts: Today's is in honor of the 50th anniversary of the FIRST class to earn Doctor of Optometry degrees in 1973.

Raim, Eugenie Sturtevant, Dean Henry B. Peters, Neil M. Bleakley, and Ronald E. Dachelet; and (back row) Nelson G. Crandall, Ernest S. Spohn, Alan G. Tavel, and Gene J. Terrezza.
