• 
  Portrait of Dr. Roy Clunes

  Portrait of Dr. Roy B. Clunes, who graduated from optometry school in 1939. He went on to be an optometrist at the Albany Vision Clinic. The Pacific University alumni directory lists him as a 1939 graduate in optometry, but this was before the degree was available at Pacific; so he may have graduated from the North Pacific School of Optometry, which was absorbed by Pacific in 1945.
