Wonder of wonders, the nurses ' float won second place in the divisional group. This was the first float entered in three years. After they picked us up off the floor to receive the award, we beamed for days. Our hospital dance was a big success and we ' ve had some laughs reviving the school newspaper. Squealer. Pardon our pride, but the Millard Fillmore had the distinction of walking off with two of the biggest queenships of the year. The name of Barbara must have a magical quality. Last, but far from least, is our year at the hospital. Will we ever forget the thrill of our first uni- forms, the terror of going on the floor, the pride of our first enema or the horror of our Nursing Arts ex- zam? We will always hear Miss Fisher ' s Why do you do it that way, girls? , and Miss Radtke ' s Think itthrough, girls, isn ' t it logical? . Then there is the cafeteria. Ah yes, sweet memories of Monday night horn, Thursday night liver, cereal, ice-cream and everyone going to breakfast for cinnamon toast. We invented Purple Hearts for those wounded in action v Ile endeavoring to get a second dessert and the Congressional Medal of Honor for those who got away with hiding it under their napkin. We remember our first days when we carried our keys everywhere and wondered why we couldn ' t sit where the pretty napkins were. They don ' t seem so very long ago. By the time we read this, we will be sophomores. Thenwewill have the joy and privilege of looking at the new flock and saying, HEY KIDS, DIG THOSE CRAZY FRESHMENII . M. TYRE CLASS OF 1955. 56

I I • o i£ TJY the miracles of providence and to the amazement of all, we, the freshman class, have made it. At least an upstanding majority of us have made it. Our year at the University has ended. Some of usore sad and some of us — well, aren ' t so sad. Glad or sod we have a lot of memories connected with college. Memories like trudging to the bus stop and watching it roll away, laughing our way through Chemistry lectures (v o went to Chem lectures?), sleep- ing in the Norton lounge, having grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch, dissecting those things in Anatomy lab, psychoanalyzing our friends and always being on time. We ' ve planned, agreed, worked and talked. We ' ve hollered, fought, griped, and complained. Sometimes we even studied. In a word we lived. Just for the record we ' ve also been a pretty sociable bunch. But not all our social life has been con- fined to Myers. Among other things our student council has been instrumental in bringing about student representation for the nurses at the U. B. , next year. Often we haven ' t been included in campus activi- ties. We hove done a great deal this year to change that. Banded together we are a powerful group whether professionally or on campus. We know that next year ' s class will carry on from here (they ' d better). 55
