MM INTERMEDIATES HE class of 1926 began its career on the second day of April in the year nine' teenfhundredftwentyfthree when six wouldfbe nurses of various tastes and dis' positions entered the Augustana. Two of the original number soon departed from their midst leaving but five members to greet the remainder of the class which entered on the twentyfthird day of September, where so many have entered before, each imbued with the spirit of service to mankind. This increased the number to almost nity. And again, some of them left us but these were not many considering the number of our class. We were sorry to see them go, because we had learned to care for each and every one of them. First of all, we must mention Mrs. Nora Smith, our adopted mother, who has still retained the jovial disposition that always goes with the generous avoirdupois. Carrie Twitchell, of Virden, Illinois, has been a willing worker and a jolly friend of us all. Our Minnesota damsel is Ellen Gunderson, the fair blonde with the blooming complexion. ' Alice Holtan is the one who can be Innocence personified or 'LZaza elecf triiied. The sombre expression of Clara Megahan has often been found to be a mis-- leading characteristic. Then. there is Miss Algminowicz, small, winsome and kindly, whose name almost took our breath away. And Bertha Wal1lst1'on1-will we ever forget Wally and the night she and Evelyn Peterson found the note that almost sent her back to Evanston. Our talents are not only confined to nursing for Miss Hudson and Miss Win' quist are both accomplished musicians while Margaret Chapin's dancing and singing are in itself an evening's entertainment. Frances Burk, the little giggler, makes things lively in her neighborhood. The four charming daughters of Kewaunee, Miss Ringstrom, Miss Eckstrom, Miss Erickson and Miss Omark, have endeared themselves to all. Whethei' one goes, the other one follows can be said of Miss Jensen and Miss Jacobson, for they are seldom seen apart. ' Of course, there are the exceptional students of the class, Miss Meade, Miss Ross, and Miss Potteiger. Then, there is Marie Jahn, talkative and gay, the pos' sessor of a boundless sense of humor, while Ellen Latunen and Ruth Stohl think so much and say so little. And Edith Nelson-we found her so hard to get acquainted with, but now the barriers have long been broken down. So reserved and dignined of manner they seemQEleanor Berg and Della Hanson.

TMESQQQ 55555 r Lulu Kennedy and Ruth Hanson had been here a few months before we came, and they have always been active and enthusiastic leaders of our class affairs. Each social activity boasts the art of interior decorating which Florence Strom possesses. Never in a hurry, but seldom late, and always planning another joke-that's Norma Peterson. Signa Hanson's circle of friendship grows bigger and bigger day by day. Miss Mathiseim is the only one of the auburn hair, but her heart is just as golden. Florence Beck is the dark and short young lady with such a friendly manner. 'Tis plain to be seen that love for her work has kept Gladys Anderson here when numerous obstacles have confronted her. And the two Johnsons-Elna and Katherine, we always ind bright and gay, happy and free. She is slender and sedate, and very quiet-Edith Carlson. Gay-hearted Gladys Nelson could smile and dance her way through life. Last, and almost least of all, is Mild1'ed Peterson, for she seems so small, but ber eyes just sparkle with mirth and laughter. As we look back over the calendar of events, we can justly claim pride and sat' isfaction in the part that we have so far played in the social activities. Our first brilliant affair was the Christmas banquet. This was followed in the ensuing year by the Hallowe'en party which spelled originality in every way. Our other en' tertainments have also been very successful. The crowning event of our Inter' mediate year was the banquet given in-honor of the graduating class of 1925 which was held at the Belden Hotel, April twentyffourth. The majority of events are yet before us and we sincerely hope that we may do as well in the future as in the past, and as well as the Seniors have done before us. We have tried in our small way to bring a little joy and comfort into the hearts of those who come broken in spirit and in body and to alleviate a bit of suffering which continually goes on.
