Class J 5 Y Prophecy It was a blue Monday—you know, here in body, but not in mind. Soon I would start my nursing career. “This was my first trip away from home, and I sat in the student nurses’ quarters watching the rain stream down in torrents. I was suddenly awakened from my meditating by a soft knock. “Come in,” I called. “T was coming upstairs, so I thought I would bring you your mail,’ a familiar voice answered. “Hilda Bernardo,” I gasped, “what on earth are you doing here?” “T’m a Registered Nurse,” she answered proudly, “but I’m on duty now, so I'll see you later.” I was feeling better already.

Result—No one has heard from him since. Glancing through the paper I found quite a few interesting facts.
