l .Since September, 192-L, the Freshmen Cformerly Prelimmaryj term, covers the first five months of train- ing, the Sophomore term of seven months finishes the first Year? during the second year of her studies, the student nurse is dubbed a Junior, and the third, or Senior year completes the whole course of training. During 1924, the Physical Education bepartment has been developed, under the direction of lXf. iss lforo- V thy Leckenby, classes being held in formal gymnastics and sports such as basket ball, volley ball, etc., and in swimming. Civic .interest is awakened in the nurse's mind through trlps about the city-to the Art Institute, the Field Museum, the industrial plants, and to the parks. During the summer, picnic suppers are put up for the nurses, who with an instructor as chaperon, spend the late afternoon hoursin one of our many beautiful parks, and with 'birthday dinners, and parties and dances each month, the recreational aspect of the Nurses' life is developed. 0 To still further comply with modern requirements, eight-hour duty was adopted in February, 1924. To cover the twenty-four hour period of each day three shifts of nurses are made. Day, Duty now includes the hours from seven o'clock A. M. to seven P. M., with four hours off duty during that period, and two half-days off duty-one during the week and one on Sunday. Evening Duty is from four P. M. to eleven-thirty P. M. each week day, but on Saturday the nurse is on . duty from seven P. M. to one A. M.-a period of six ' hours. 1 Night Duty includes the hours from eleven-thirty P. M. to seven A. M., each night, ex- cepting Saturday, when the nurse is on duty from one A. M. Sunday to seven A. M.-a period of six hours! Oh, shades of all past night nurses! how many of you would have survived the announcement that you were to report for no more than eight hours duty, and for as few as six weeks? A THE RESIDENCE . , The new Nurses' Home has been occupied since June, 1924, and was formally dedicated' on Sunday, January 25th, 1925. On that day, the handsome six-story building at 2816 Ellis Avenue, just across the street from the main hospital and designated The Residence was thrown open from four to six P. M. to a throng of visitors, who expressed great admiration for the beautiful living-room, library, gymnasium and dining-room, which occupy' part of the first Hoor. The living-room is furnished with a victrola and radio, combined, the gift of Mr. Maurice L. Rothschild to the School of Nursing, and a Baby Grand piano donated by the Michael Reese Alumnae Association. Cozy armchairs and lounges, an immense fire-place, reading lamps, writing desks, and a tea-cart, make this panelled room an ideal resting place for tired nurses. The commodious, yet cozy, library, its walls lined with book-shelves, and furnished with reading desks and regular sleepy-hollow arm-chairs, has already acquired a goodly store of instructive and entertaining books. Here a book-lover may truly gaze and invite her soul! The laundry and sewing-room for the use of the nurses, the service rooms, with kitchenettes, on each floor, and the Nurses' sleeping rooms, each equipped with student's lamp, medicine cabinet, commodious clothes closet, and hot and cold running water, also met with approval, especially from the lady visitors. The Swimming Pool in the basement has a diving depth of ten feet, and an exhibition of swimming feats was given by the Boys' Athletic Club of Sinai Temple. The Residence equipment includes a modern kitchen, class and demonstration rooms, linen rooms, lavatories on each floor: lockers and lavatories in the basement for the use of graduate nurses on duty in the hospital: an office on the main Hoor, with ample letter box equipment, telephone switch-board, and call-bells to each room, and a complete elevator service, night and day. Two Michael Reese Graduate Nurses preside over the Home, Miss Sarah Jackson in the day-time, and Miss Harriet Furby at night. The House Warming was well attended, and music and light refreshments ended a very enjoyable afternoon. Page 81 MICHAEL REESE STREET UNIFORM-1895
