'WQAJWCZZ always did have a mania for Curly hair. she is just the Same old girl. I also Saw Luebbert 1n Chicago and she is doing X-Ray work in one of the general hospltals. The way I understand, she will succeed Dr. Troxell. He mfwed Ollt there 3 Veal' 330, and is now moving farther West. He was mighty nice, do you remember? While in Pittsburg I heard of Crothers. She is superintendent of a hospital for deaf mutes. I was surprized for she always was so talkative. I have really told you all I know, so believe I had better close. Write and tell me any news you might have of the rest of the girls. Address me 1n care of Mrs. Arthur Grosscup. Will be there a few days. With love, p , PEG STEWARD. P. S.+Just had a note from Davis. She is in town on her honeymoon. Married some minister from down country. PEG. TAMPA, FLORIDA, AUG. 12, 1929. DEAR PEG: Your welcome letter was indeed interesting to me. My, how our girls have scattered in the last few years. I would like tolsee them all again. It was news to me to hear where some of our pals had settled. I thought you had been doing some traveling for I lost track of you after your second letter from the West. Since then I've had quite some experience in Private Duty, and the past year have been night superintendent of the Surgical Hospital here in Florida, but I've resigned and expect to leave for home next week. Ireceived an interesting letter from one of our old classmates, Long. At last she is happy in her long cherished dream, doing missionary work with Russel, in a compound in China. She wrote of having witnessed a naval wedding over there. Could you imagine who the bride was? You remember Price? She enlisted in the navy, has been on a hospital ship and in and out many different ports, and now she is married. You also recall Laubach, her roomie, Blondie in our class. She is night super- intendent of a n-ew contagious hospital in France. You know she loved night duty. Tommy writes quite often. She worked one year in Philadelphia and then settled down to a quiet life, in the wild town of Sunbury. She's tak- ing life easy now. She wrote that Pete, our fair Viola, q became a suc- Page N ninety-thv-ee

fifzebfq, Gilman qliruplysrg PENN HOTEL, NEW YORK CITY, AUG. 7, 1929. DEAR DEEMER: 't h d from you for ages in fact 'not since you left New Haven ear - , , u York for Florida. How has the world. been treating you after all these years? Heard from Mickey the other day and she told me where you were. I think she said Miss Vi-ehdorfer had a letter from you. I have been very busy the last few years and in afew days will leave for the North. Was Superintendent of a hospital in California, but you know me for changing positions and so here I am. Will take charge of a hospital for soldiers in Ontario, Canada. - By the way, have you heard of any of the girls? I know a little some-Y thing about a few of them, and as you may not know, will tell you the little news I have. They say that Flory and Miller have opened a hospital in Bangor and are quite successful. Most of their cases are chronic, and you remem- ber Miller's pet chronic case she had on third floor. Adele and Hilda sure were a pair and especially when Hilda told of Adele walking in her sleep. Leiby, I heard, started a training school in Germansville with the best rules. The nurses do not go on duty until 10 a. m. Getting up in the morning always did work on Leiby's nerves, especially when she had to trot over for breakfast all alon-e and in the bargain lose her hours. Weber has charge of the Nurses' Directory in Philadelphia, and 'ask her any question about any nurse, she can give you the data. She keeps McFarland, now Mrs. Grosscup, informed most of the time. Mickey, you know, is happily married, but heavens only knows how long. She and Arthur have quite a family. I will be with them next week. Ackerjyou remember the Little Black Devil, as Laub called her- well, she.1s in charge of a college hospital in Indiana, and Professor Roberts instructs her probation classes, especially in French and Eng- lish, -'and they are very agreeable I hear. Wouldn't be a bit surprized if wedding bells ring in a few months. Forgot to tell you the most important thing. While in Chicago I went to a hair-dvressing parlor and whom should I meet but Kresge. You lemembel' Meta- Well, She gave up nursing and is doing hair curling. She 1 Page N inety-two

The girls certainly have surprized us, ave y I received a short letter from Gertrude Kline some time ago.. She is still in New York and must be very busyg she built a Beautiful White Hos- ital for Children in the Catskill Mountains. She has almost all chronic P ' ' . . cases and enjoys taking care of them 5 it's a wonderful location and she is proud of it. Have you ever met Steyer on yo ' . nie I'm sure, if you'd meet her. I've seen her several times, but she .al- ways seemed to be too busy traveling to spend va day with me. She did Private Nursing for a while, and then she met Dick. Of course, there is no one like Dick now. He is quite wealthy, so they travel a great deal, and she enjoys that you know. They are leaving for a trip to the Hawaiian Is- lands in a few feeks. While going through Pittsburgh she lookedup Donny, having heard that she was there. Ever since the spring of 1923, Donny has been supervisor in a Gen-eralHospital. She had a great time putting the eight-hour system into effect, but told Steyert it is working fine now. You should try it, Peg. , I expect to be home soon and am going to visit Obie. Surely you re- member Oberholt, my little roomie. She worked in a Private Hospital for some time, and now she is happily married and liv-es in Newark, N. J. At last she found her ideal man, as she used to say. They just returned to their home from Palm Beach, where I saw h-er. Who do you think she met one afternoon while shopping in Newark? Mary Laub! Perhaps you heard from her since you wrote me. She is' doing Private Nursing there and likes it very much. I guess you are enjoying your visit in lVIickey's home. Give her my best love and any of the girls you may see, and I'll do the same for you, Peg. t ur travels? You would know Min- with love, Your old classmate, ALICE DEEMER.
