uni I l N f .L 000121-1 Goof l .ass istory SEPTEMBER 3, IQ4O41'CIT1CIT1bCl' that day??? To the world it means little, but to us, the Class of ,43, it signifies the date on which the first stone was laid on our pathway to success. When we entered that day we were timid and just a little wary in our new surroundings. We were quickly ushered into a new routine of study and work which proved very fascinating. There were classes in Anatomy, Nursing Arts, and numerous others. We learned of many procedures which seemed very difficult, but we quickly mastered them. We enjoyed practicing Bandaging and Massage. Then came that memorable day when we received our student uniforms and were requested to report for duty. It was with great apprehension that we reported to our respective posts. What a thrill it was to be called nurse for the first time! The ensuing days passed quickly. Oh, yes, we had our moments of home- sickness, but we had happy hours, too. Our Hrst Christmas at Sacred Heart im- pressed us deeply. Midnight Mass with its reverence and the carol singing that followed will remain forever in our memory. As we ushered in the new year, we looked forward eagerly to Capping exer- cises. And then the day arrived-February 20. What a proud day it was for us! yVe turned in the organdy probie cap and assumed the responsibilities and dignity accompanying our school cap. The next memorable stone of our journey was the senior graduation. When Monsignor Fink addressed the Sacred Heart nurses in his baccalaureate sermon, our chests swelled with pride. It was to us he was speaking, too. We, the youngest of the group, were included in that title. Accompanying the graduation exercises was the ever-thrilling prom held in the Central Catholic High School Auditorium. Can we ever forget the odors of roses, gardenias, and perfumes of every type that flooded the Nurses' Home? The summer months passed quietly and on August 15, our senior class left our midst. Their rooms were soon taken by the incoming probationers and we became officially Intermediates.', Classes were resumed and once more we studied diligently. Dec. 8, 1941-a day all the world will remember! To us it meant a new reason for striving to succeed. And we were proud to know that shortly we could be of service to our country. Our second Christmas was shadowed by war clouds and our prayers were pleas for peace. During the ensuing year we began to realize in many ways the hardships of a country at war. It was during our Intermediate year that our special training began. We thrilled to the excitement of ambulance calls and first aids during our dispensary training. We assisted at our first major operation with trembling fingers and a heart beating rapidly.. Then came our experience in Maternity and record-breaking numbers of deliveries! How frequently we made the headlines! Thirty their would held Sl Th service stocking the ten MPP? ' course! Ou the yen Th nearly - pletion gained,
