CLASS HISTORY Can it only be three years ago in February that the Nurses' Home doors opened to a group of faint-hearted, fear-Hlled, awe-stricken girls? Without much ado we were thrust into numerous classes until finally our sense of newness, slowly but surely wore off. About this time in September the doors opened again to more girls, as scared and as green as the first had been. Even with all the trials and tribulations of the first year, we had our cheerful moments such as the glory of getting our caps. Remember? Blues In The Night . For several years the plans for a Christmas party have fallen in the hands of the Pre-clinicals, and we, rather than fall short of the pace set by our predecessors, gave what we like to think of as a successful party. With a clearer understanding of our goal in our hearts, more dignity in our carriage, and a narrow black band adorning the caps on our heads, we began our second year. It was then that the class was organized and the officers elected were as follows: President, Martha Willisg Vice- President, Edith Cooreg Secretary, Juanita Lewis: Treasurer, Edna Earle George. Class Sponsors: Mrs. Mabel T. Smith and Dr. Robertson. During this year we had our introduction to surgery and in spite of our many hectic moments there, we could find time to laugh at the new girls who prepped for a tonsillectomy or misjudged the anatomy in a nephrectomy. The Cape Fear Country Club was the scene of the Junior-Senior Banquet which is a happy memory that lingers with us. With the coming of '44, the coveted wide black band replaced the narrow ones and we were on the last lap of our journey. In the latter part of April, Dr. Robertson delighted us with a day at Brookgreen Gardens. From the moment we left the Nurses' Home until we returned, the day was chugged full of fun, laughter, and hilarious events. We had no more than gotten over that tour when we went to Wrightsville on a beach party. Merrily climbing into the T0psy- Turvy , little did we dream it would capsize forcing Big-Jim to tow us in-Hmm-that water was cold. Back in the cottage, shivering, and shaking from our dip in the ocean blue, we warmed up with the conga line. How many times has article No. 4 under Rules and Regulations of the Nurses' Home caused disaster these last few months. Remember how we were confronted at 2 A. M. with the idea of forfeiting a P. M. or writing a theme. But they were good jam sessions. The period of our lives here has been made richer by our association with the doctors, staff, upper-classmen and under-classmen. With gratitude and appreciation of your spirit that has boosted us along, we'd like to leave the impression that Longfellow wrote of: Ana' departing, leave belvinal us Foofjirinfs on fbe sands of iinzeg Foofprinfs, fha! perhaps anoflaer, Sailing o'er lifes, solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked broflaer, Seeing, shall fake lyeart again. PROPHIECY After having bought a newspaper for the purpose of publishing it exclusively for Nurses, we decided to put in the background our ownership and gather the information for a special edition of our old classmates from James Walker way back in '4S. We thought a good place to begin our scoop would be at the Alma-Mata itself. Of course being typical Nurses we were very hungry when we arrived so we went to the kitchen and ate one of those delicious meals. Frances Potts has been supervising as dietitian. We asked her if she knew the whereabouts of any of our classmates and she said we would find two of them in Marion Sprunt. Our imaginations were fired to the highest degree. Who would we Hnd there? We were mak- ing pretty good speed down the hall and almost knocked down Dr. Juanita Johnson. She became so interested in obstetrics she continued her education until she became an M.D. She gave us a hasty greeting and explained that she must hurry as she was on her way to deliver Dorothy Bellman, alias Sanderson's 6th son. She shot us the parting remark that we would find another old Pal on Front street. We rushed out to our heliocopter and made a speedy trip down town. We parked right in front of Juanita Lewis's clothing store. We walked under the large sign which read We cater to Nurses , and immediately saw Juanita modeling an especially created black dress for Shirley Barnes. We rushed over to talk to them and discovered that Shirley owned a traveling theater which she set up on all points of the globe. They invited us to have a seat and enjoy the latest news reel. Imagine our amazement when first there appeared on the screen none other than Rena Little. She had made a name for herself as a missionary in darkest Africa. The screen revealed that her latest progress was in making the natives take a bath religiously every Saturday night come rain or shine. Once again we were startled as we saw Virginia Pearsall alighting from a plane for one of her week-end stops in Hollywood. Could it be that the pretty hostess had come to meet the fleet? We thanked them for their hospitality and information that we would find Thrower in Raleigh. We took off in our flying auto and landed right in the backyard of the Veterans Home for Marines. When we made our mission known we were immediately ushered through a door marked Private. We found Doris Thrower sitting behind a big mahogany desk and soon learned that she was head of the Nursing Staff. She told us We would profit by a visit to Kentucky. When we landed we began to question two local inhabitants. They said that any night you could stand in the near mountains and see the cloaked horseman go galloping by. Yes, Sir Minerva Latham carries on in the frontier Nursing Service. We wanted to see her but she was extremelv busy and we were rushed for time. i We headed for Baltimore to keep a dinner engagement with Swanna Pittman. Before we left we knew that she was a perfect hostess as well as a perfect wife which her husband claimed and we also knew that we would find Nannie Ruth in Massachusetts. She had invaded the grounds of Harvard and was obtaining a higher education with the best of men there. While we were visiting Junior we learned that more news was to be obtained in New York. When we entered the big city our first act was to scan a New York Times. As we turned to the society page we see that Ada Mildred Van Dorset fnea Spiveyj is just divorcing her 4th husband. It,s rumored she'll marry the Spanish Count with whom she has been frequenting the high spots. We wandered over to Medical Center to see Edith Coore, who had reached her heart's desire and was the supervisor of Psychiatric Nursing. She was dressing for an evening at the night clubs. QYou know Edithj. We spotted a book on her dresser and realized that it was Georges' latest publica- PROPHIECY tion, Life Without Man. It's all about the value of an exclusive happy life with only women asso- ciates. We had no desire to belate Coore's fun, so we flew over to the air port. Cynthia McEntee was preparing to leave on another flight as hostess on the American Aif Lines and the pilot was none other than Arthur. He waved us a happy Good-bye and told us if we'd hurry to pier 9 we'd find another hostess. We covered the distance in a few minutes and almost bumped into Fannie Collins on her way to be of service on a luxury liner. Our talk revealed that she had crossed the ocean many times and often visited Martha Strickland in Paris, who, after serving over there in the Army, had married a Baron, and was now rearing a family of little Frenchmen. The ship began to pull away from shore and suddenly we recognized a couple on board. It was Ida Lee and Wally bound for a second honeymoon leaving Junior at home with Grandmother. They appeared to be as happy as the day we last saw them back in Wilmington. It was with a feeling of great accomplishment that we climbed back into our Malignant Tumor fdon't be alarmed,--just a nickname for the old buggyj. We journeyed West and made an over-night stop in Montana. The matron of our little ranch was one of our old buddies. Mar- tha and Bruce had settled down and fulfilled Western tradition with their little family of cowboys. Early the next morning we lighted in Seattle, Washington, where Elsie McFadden was begin- ning her tour. She was to make a series of speeches on The Value of Argument. We picked up an advertising folder and found that Anna Belle Willoughby is railroading peo- plete to Seattle through acrobatic accomplishment. She is well known and one of the most supple teachers in history. We passed a fruit store and were shocked at the display boxes. Mamie Smith must really be doing a great job in Georgia. Imagine finding Tillman's vitamized peaches way up here. With noses for news, our trip led us to San Francisco. We passed a factory that interested us very much. Christine Whitfield had become interested in Public Nutrition. She claimed to find pickles especially nourishing. Consequently she established the Mt. Olive, N. C., Pickle Institu- tion in California. We saw a distinguished looking lady sampling the products. Yes sir, Thagard Cameron is the only nurse ever known to become a four star General. Chris told us where to find Edna Huggins fRemember Moore?j, and once again we were on our way. When Armistice was signed she met Jimmy on the shore and they were so happy to be together again that they decided to begin enjoy- ing each others company. Funny, in all these years they haven't had time to move. You'll never guess where we spent the night. In prison! Our old colleague Margaret Cul- breth had become charge nurse at Alcatraz. She really had a healthy bunch of prisoners who respect- ed her opinion and iron will. With printers ink still in our blood we hasten back to Chicago to begin this special edition with exultant pride in the progress made by our class in the past ten years. With respect and gratitude for your co-operation, we remain your roving reporters, Miss BAKER, Miss HARRISS, Miss ELMORE.

The Hun is af fhe gafe! Our world has passed away In XVanfonness o'erfhrown. There is nofhing leff loday But sfeel and fire and stone!

Onee more we hear fhe word That sielaened earfh of old:- No law exeepf Ihe Sword Unsheafhed and uneonfrolledf' Onee more if knits mankind, Once more the naiions go To nzeef and break and hind A erazed and driven foe. Coinforf, eonienf, delighf, The ages slow-bought gain, They shriuelled in a nighl. Only ourselves remain To faee fhe naked days In silen! forfifude, Through perils and dixmays Renewed and re-renewed.
