C - A2411 NYM HWY-M W A 'EQAJWQQ 'What was the biggest event of the year ? l That hasn't come off yet. 'What is it ? Commencement Day. 'Well, the next biggest event then ? The conference of the American College of Surgeons, in the begining of April. 'Tell me about it. Well, We had to Wear our uniforms six inches from the floor, and our hair plain as could be-We looked so funny. And We had to keep our rooms in perfect order for several days. We found things that had been lost for ages. But none of us were lost to any of the great Surgeons-they only gave us the once over once. Gee! but they were Wonderful. 'Anything else of perhaps minor importance ? For three nights the Nurses' Chorus sang at the Colonial Theatre. 'Oh goodnight? - Anything else ? There'd be a lot if you could believe the bunch that never tells the truth. 'My goodness! Tell me some! 'Oh no! Some tales are longer than other tales, but all tales come to an end.

I Second Years or Intermediates we entertained the Juniors at a Vamp Party, with a mock wedding and music, and the Seniors at d' ' a mnei dance dllllflg Commencement Week.

But in November we had a class reunion in Tom's room. There were no college social affairs. ' , Miss Viehdorfer said we had to learn to be nurses first, society buds later. There was to be no Jazz, especially not at Monday night lecture, but Santa Claus remembered the J azzers through the Jazz Master. We attended the Junior Auxilliary Dance, the Alum D P' ' ' nae ance and the St. Patrick s Dance en masse and man- aged a little one of our own in February F . pl Dr. But how about the individual girls ? V Pt. Luebbert still insists that 'Order is Heaven's first law.' Tom and Laub skipped a couple months night duty and worked in the sun- light again. Price, Flory, Long, Kline and Roth were included a third time in the Nurses' Chorus. Meta pulled through Typhoid, . had symptoms of something else and now wears a frat pin. 7 Davis hasn't been beat at baking cakes yet. Long played the patient particularly well in 'Special Dooty' till she was blue in ' the face, but she got better every time. Some of us managed to have leisure time enough always to take the longest walk to and A from the Hospital and College-sort of a Senior stroll M' P i l . ickey, 5 Laub, Acker and Donny made the Operat' R ing oom a lively place , for two months at least. Weber got her uniform for the con- lg vention, she saw to that. Deemer was heart broken when Obie d had her tonsils removed on the day of the dance. Competitive financial teams worked overtime to increase the class . budget-sandwiching the doctors and nurses, choking the College with chocolate bars and ' , risking their fortunes on chances. Here's where Crothers made an excellent sho ' wing for 'her team. But no money from this treasury was used for the flowers on the ' Senior table in the Dining Room. Sometimes we assisted in the Monda ,y night lectures, with recitations -Steyert did that-vocal selections and de , monstrating modern methods in use in our hospital. Page Forty-four 1 5 f I E
