men y vfa we saw Helen Lapchak. We both offered a duet of Well, what have you been doing all these years? VVe haven't seen or heard from you since graduation? Lappy replied that she had held a position as office nurse to a prominent physician in Philadelphia, but gave it up when she married his son, and was exceedingly happy- HDO you know that both Libby Allar and Edith Hoffman are doing private duty here in the city? asked Lappy, Hand last but not least our much loved Betty Sefing is supervising the Operating Room at Mt. Sinai Hospital in this state. HGreat we both exclaimed. Sefing has always been a much admired nurse and no doubt will rise to the ultimate heights in surgical nursing. Before bidding goodnight we agreed to meet at our landing field in the morning, and, true to our promise we were there to be together for just a little while before we separated again. As our plane merged into oblivion, after the last fond farewell, the feeling that parting lends to those who have left some one very dear to them, came over us. Our hope of seeing each other again was strengthened though, because we know that the bond of fidelity and affection that bound us together was a bit stronger and the love for our dear classmates burnt with a new and brighter flame. And, as the tinge of loneliness crept upon us, we realized more fully as women of the great world, the priceless value of our friendship for each other and our precious jewel of memory - our Alma Mater. After returning to our beloved Alma Mater, we were pleased to meet our Sister classmates, Sr. Bonosa and Sr. Calasanza, not only engaged in the work of supervising, but invoking the blessing of the Head Nurse upon the Class of '29. -Claw of '29, CLRGDSII e , Gsm . 4 f
