The ISiirsing School finished The Junior Cx)llege School of Nursing completed its second year of operation in a successful style. The road became shorter for the sophomore students. This year each sophomore nurse received training and ex- |x rience at the State Mental 1 lospital at Anna, Illi¬ nois. The freshmen have received their caj)s and arc now preparing to embark on the second leg of their three-year voyage. For them, much of this season’s schooling t(X)k place in St. Elizabeth s and Memorial Hospitals. Their duties included taking temperatures, making beds, giving medications, and aiding patients in everv ' possible manner. The officers of the School of Nurs¬ ing were, seated, Mrs. Leto Andrews, vice-president; Mrs. Mary Mutchek, president. Standing, Helen Stoeber, treasurer; Pat Schreiber, secretary. . . . Despite their rigid schedule, the JC student nurses always met other Dutchmen with smiles. Skeleton “Geraldine was a popular object of study in the Nursing School . . . There wos never a dull moment in the anatomy class of Mrs. Risser. The sophomore class consisted of, first row: Barbara Teichgraeber, Mary Louise Gansmann, Frieda Erb, Mrs. Charlene Chandler, Sharon Wood¬ ruff. Second row: Pat Schreiber, Jean Bowers, Martha Brennan, Joyce Ex- trom, Phyllis Reynolds, Pat Kaiser. Third row: Louise Stoltz, Mrs. Mary Hammel, Sharon Waters, Diane Wil- kens, Nancy Watland. Fourth row: Mrs. Mary Mutchek, Mrs. Roberta Dan- er, Ruth Ann Meddows. Fifth row: Miss Josephine Jones, Mrs. Elizabeth Gregory, Miss Clora Mae Miller, Mrs. Dorothy Meeks, Mrs. Jeon Aldag, Miss Barbara Dooling.

Math — a must for Engineers. For more science instruction, the Jun¬ ior College included pre-engineering courses in its curriculum. The students here learned and developed the basic skills of drafting and surveying as well as engineering. It is important that these skills were taught thoroughly so that in future use as a draftsman, surv ' eyor, or engineer, one will be able to express his ideas in a drawing with accuracy and efficiency. Frank G. Scott, the engineer¬ ing instructor, has coached many fine engineers. A number of his former stu¬ dents are now graduates of such out¬ standing schools as Rolla School of Mi nes and Metalurgy, Washington University of St. Louis, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Illi¬ nois. The mathematics department offered five semesters of math, including college algebra, trigonometry, analytical geomet¬ ry, differential and integral calculus, and differential equations. Having mastered these courses, math majors found the field for applying those principles un¬ limited. Another engineering course offered by the Junior College for its pre-engin¬ eering students was a course in statics. In this course the student engineers learned to solve practical enginvering problems concerning forces, stresses, and strains acting upon a body when it is at rest by applying the principles they learned in mathematics and engineering drafting. This course prepared the en¬ gineering students for future courses in mechanics such as kimatics and kinetics which the students encounter in the senior colleges. HAROLD YOUNG, B. S., M.

The instructors in the School of Nurs¬ ing were, standing: Mrs. Jeon Aldog, R.N., B.S.; Miss Josephine Jones, R. N., B.S., M.S.; Miss Barbara Pooling, R.N., B.S., M.S.; seated: Mrs. Doro¬ thy Meeks, R.N., B.S., M.S.; Miss Clara May Miller, R.N., B.S., M.S. . . . Mildred Boyd ond Ann Eastman typi fied the scientific approach to nurs¬ ing . . . Each morning the nurses ardently climbed three flights of stairs to their headquarters on the top floor of the auditorium. The freshman class consisted of, first row: Mrs. Ada Davis, Mrs. Pong Gor- monn, Leann Krupp, Etsuko Yano, Norma Wilkins. Second row: Mildred Boyd, Karen Gregory, Jo Ann Kir- leis, Suzanne Richards, Helen Stoe- ber. Third row: Charlene Bouril, Pat¬ ricia Biver, Dorothy Fulcher, Judy Kinder, Mrs. Jeanette Poplar, Doris Smith. Fourth row: Mrs. Lee Andrews, Rosann Curran, Mrs. Ann Eastman, Mrs. Karen Hammer, Mary Jo Henry, Miss Carmen Ozment, Ruth Platz, Sharon Schinzing, Sandra Weygandt. Last row; Miss Barbara Pooling, Mrs. Josephine Jones, instructors. The capping ceremonies on February 2 marked a stepping stone of prog¬ ress for the freshman nurses. Robert Birkhimer, Junior College consultant from the office of state superinten¬ dent of instruction, was the guest speaker. its second great year. In this real-life training, the JC nurses quickly be¬ came acquainted with many of the actual problems dealt with by nurses. The director of the school was Miss Clara May Miller, a registered nurse who daily advised and counseled her charges. Miss Dooling and liss Jones worked with the freshmen, while the sophomores studied under the supervision of Mrs. Meeks and Mrs. Aldag.
