,.,4.,-gt l1'IPUIliQ5fQ 5 !-H-. 1 N 1 WE, JUNIORS N March 17, 1924, thirteen embryo nurses assembled from north, south and west to begin training at Augustana. The shamrock had nothing on us, our ideas of nursing being a refreshing drink now and then, and an occasional hot water bag. Our chief concern seemed to be whether our own uniform looked like that of the other girls-our greatest problem, the secret of keeping our collars from chafing our necks or interfering with our chins. After learning the art we were carefree that first day and thoroughly enjoyed the party given in our honor. The next day we began anatomy. Be it said to our credit that we took our work seriously for at the end of the probationary period we had all made our grades and were accepted as student nurses. Then came the long anticipated and much dreaded event-the review before the supervisors. We shook and the supervisors did likewise. We, because we felt certain of making mistakes, and they because they felt the same way about it, no doubt, After witnessing our method of administering an order as demon' strated by us. However time improves, as we are not now regarded as barbaric in our methods. Cn July 17, we received our stripes. The sun chose to shine its brightest, the air was humid. In our new uniforms and extra apparel we felt as we looked, florid of countenance, wilted in appearance, but nevertheless happy. We soon found that caps insecurely anchored have a habit of falling off at inopportune moments- one nurse lost hers in chapel-and also that there is nothing quite so conspicuous- or ludicrous-in the dining room as a cap on the head when the bib and apron have been left hanging in the cloakroom. We have had the experiences and first times common to the Junior year, some of the funny and some of them not quite. We have had our little disapf pointments and homesick times but not one of the ten remaining would choose to go back to 1924 and and begin in another field. We have much to learn but we are going forward with as much pep and confidence as we evinced when start' ing out to make our nrst bed. Junior: What is the chief use of a dumbfbell? Intermediate: Why, to keep the food Warm. Junior: Wrong. It gives you a chance to get out of the room before the patient discovers what is on his tray. Do you remember when: Drake looked like grandpa? Waxvik left her alarm on L'silent the night before? ' Someone suggested Dotter use her gall stones as marbles. Seaberg put her glasses on the window sill? Pinkowsky liked to serve baked potatoes? Clark was not having a good time? Anderson liked to take temps? Keating and Wegiiei' got lost in Lincoln park? Nelson thought ulocornotor ataxial' was a railroad term? Page fifty fi-'ve
