STUDENT COUNCIL The year of 44 may be well hailed as a starting point for the Gallinger nursesi student govern- ment. First of all there was the individual class brganization. From each group, we chose student representatives and together with faculty and ward supervisor sponsors, the Student Council was formed. The purpose of this government is to create more interest for us, the student nurses, both in taking pride 'in our profession as nurses and also as Gallinger Hospital nurses. Another purpose is to provide a closer relationship and better understanding between the students and faculty body. We may find that this government is like a test to see whether we are fitted for the world out- side of this hospital and how readily we can adapt to it. Working, helping, and suggesting for this government is an excellent means by which we can further develop honesty, leadership, up- righteousness, obedience, and a code of ethics and these are the qualities that we desire to be outstanding; 'u A.i..i.v....gje.hs...b..gu h .. .Agsuaxjgwt .

GLEE CLUB In October of 1944, a group of student nurses at the Capital City School of Nursing met for the discussion of organizing a music study club. The interests of the group varied, but if was agreed that we shduld organize a-glee club, and for those who were interested in music apprecia- tion time should be given to the study of composers and the different types of music. Margaret Cook was elected President; Janice Coffey, Secretai'y and Treasurer; F annie Miller, Director; Dorothy Frazier, Pianist. The group has enjoyed the weekly meeting and singing of music both old and new. Their first public appearance Was in the hospital chapel on Thanksgiving morning. During the Christmas Season they sang for the Alumni meeting. On Christmas Eve they again appeared in the hospital chapel at which time they presented a varied program of Christmas music. The principal interest of the club has been that of entertainment forthe school. We have also enjoyed and appreciated the interest given this group by the Superintendent of the school, Miss Moran and the Protestant Chaplain, Reverend Stutzman.
