We each had two eyes, a head, and a balanced number of other identities. We even thought we had a brain of a sort. Then why those peculiar glares? XX e eouldnit understand at all until a few months had passed and we were handed out a brand new outfit, blue striped dresses with aprons- -no bibs-no caps. We were at last beginning to become a part. small stones in the construction ol' a sky scraper. Uur ambitions had begun taking form. being nourished from books. lectures, and practice. We had been duly informed of the fact that we wcle the lowest form of hurranity in this profession. quite frequently, but we were not long to remain on that leyel. Soon enough we had a class below us and until that time. we wondered about those peculiar stares at the beginning. We were now giving out with a few ot' the same. and feeling quite proud and important. All we had been through was justified in just that af-t. This was definitely for us. Yes indeed. we had made the gradel Our junior year began with a narrow black band. more books. more responsibilities. Restriction was a word of which most ol us became more than vaguely aware. We surely were not foreign to each other. There was always someone who felt in a performing mood. No particular talent. but feats ran from tire extinguishers to hula skirts. Our third lioor was famous. Anything for a laugh. Everything was funny after 9:00 p.1n. when doors were supposed to be closed. radios silent. books opened and being given our attention. lt was so easy to forget the hunipteen rules on the door of each and every student. Our hearts were young and very gay. It was in that era that class ollicers and Miss Britt and Ur. Fiarthing. as sponsors, were selected. There were quite naturally three sides to eyeryf point. and hnally' satisfaction to all. We had parties. dances. and then that beautiful junior-senior banquet. Every one was beautiful. every heart a happy one. How proud we were of ourselves and our seniors. No one will ever forget how wonderful Miss Britt was that night. the ideal sponsor. Xve were neyer closer than then. Our next important move was the annual. We sold any and eyerything. Mostly' cakes which were quite expensive. in the long run. At long last the end product and last gestures of three years work. Can it really be? How could the persons in our Class have become so close. We were like sisters. Uur every problem was shared. Actually that which had been striven for so hard and long was becoming a sad ordeal. Our edges had been smoothed and we had long ago graduated from hall performers to 4'Bull Sittersf' Much more dignified to us. but less so to night patrols. We were headed off to bed many times in an undignilied fashion. Our most potential weapon was used within ourselves. to gripeeeeit made things much brighter and anyway we didnit really mind. We had so little time left. 'Now that it's over, it's hard to explain the way we feel inside. We think kindly even of those who made things a little tougher. We leave with a sense of devotion and indebtedness to our teachers. instructors. and supervisors. Our doctors are tops and we promise never to forget just that. We can never repay that which we will carry aw ay' with us. NN e can only try very' hard to be all you have made us, with all credit to you. We can be very' proud to say and know that we have completed three years of interesting eollectiveness here in our own Alma Mater. l:AYE Poms.

Walking down 5th Avenue. l. by chance. ran into Iris Zeta Rhue. She is famous lior her hooks on hospital discipline for nurses. She invited me to a famous Broadway theater wlterc Faye l'ope is the leading star. l always thought ltcr pretty face would take her places. Ruth Ward is the top lttutlel for nurses uniforms in New York. She is known as The finely.

Can you imagine who the tall fellow is that occupies all her spare time? llucssll St-ptctnlter l9. 1952 ltt-:tu lJt,xnx': I strayed a little ull. my route to xisit Nita Mathis in fioltl-lio1'o. She is supervisor of the Maternity Wiatd in the local hospital. A gay and charming heart breaker still. September QU. 1952 lit-:ite Dtttn- Today Klathis and I drove her rod comertilmle to llal River to visit .lean Collier Cole. .lean gave up nursing shortly after graduation for a more domestic life. l.ate this afternoon on Tabor Cily's main street. we pulled the convert to a halting stop directly in front of a huge limousine containing none other than Alice Wray. We graciously at-knowletlgeel introductions lo the Tabor City play boy accompanying her. She is doing private duty. September 21. 1952 limit Dr.xrn': My arrival in Wilmington completed my trip. Eagerly l made my way to James Walker. On stepping out of my cab. I narrowly escaped being hit by a beautiful convertible. The driver. Audrey Overby. She is the State Inspector of Nursing Schools. Together we entered the portals of J. W. First we proceeded to the Nursing School otiicf- to he greeted hy Annie Lois Cain. Superintendent of Nurses. Miss Cain herself, escorted us to the education department. lflasses were in session. The first classroom we entered was presided over by Virginia Padgett. The Preclinicals were hearing a wonderful lecture on the Administration of Drugs. After class. Virginia brought me up to date on herself. It was during this conversation that I learned Rometta Ilester is a Missionary in the South Pacific. Excusing myself from this Tt16l'l'y group. il made my way back toward the main building. S0 many im- provements and changes had been made that it was hard to recognize the old .l. W. Arriving on a beautifully equipped Hoor, which bore no resemblance to any of those l had known so well in former days, I stopped a very dignified looking nurse to make a few inquiries. A familiar smile told me that she was Eleen Johnson. now Mrs. Lee Williams and Supervisor of the lovely new wing lS.IV.I.l. Wilbur High Smith and her family of two are to be her house guests during the week-end. Wilbur is residing in Elizabethtown. N. C. She too has given up Ulll'SiY1fl. Darkness was rapidly approaching by this time. Grace, Albert. Sonny. and Malhtt Village loomed into my thoughts. While standing in line waiting for a Maflitt Village bus. two Hgures near the front of the line. their arms laden with groceries and surrounded by a group of small boys in sailor garb. rang a bell of recognition in my mind. The next instance I was embracing Martha Vlfinberry Grainger and Virginia Cavenaugh White, groceries and all. I was happy to know they are still bosom friends and such. Their husbands are now ex- sailors and M. V. the site of their happy homes. Martha's three boys and Virginia's four give the girls little time for nursing outside their own family. DEAR DIARY: I think this has been the busiest day of all my vacation and naturally seeing Grace, Albert, and Sonny, was the crowning event for me. Next week I return to Canada to finish my book NEthics for Nursesf, It,s really wonderful to know that all of our girls have done so well for themselves. Now as dream land becomes sleep and closes my lids, I say. goodnight, Dear Diary. Louis:-: Maris, Prophet. JUNIORS J UN IOR CLASS OFFICERS fi.. Y' cr I 1 N.
