A DAY IN RESIDENCE At dawn each morning if you hap¬ pen to be within hearing distance of the Nurses’ Residence you will hear what sounds like a hundred alarm clocks ringing in the dark¬ ness. Suddenly you hear the creak¬ ing of numerous doors as you en¬ counter many sleepy victims of the early hour in the corridors. From other rooms comes the sound of cold running water, followed by consecutive splashes, telling us that the sleepy eyes have been opened. About 15 minutes elapse until the doors are again opened and out step refreshed young ladies in crisp white aprons ready to start another day. At mid-day all steps lead towards the residence where the second most important thought, besides dinner, is the mail. A steady humm is heard at the many tables as the girls chatter about the morning’s happenings, or from whom they get the letter. Following dinner it is not long until 3:30 when most of the girls get off duty and begin to enjoy their own free time. To most of the clock watchers 8:30 is an important time when the kitchenette- door is opened for the evening. And soon the aroma of toast and coffee floats through the corridor. During the evening you may stroll down to the sitting-room where you will find the evening-hostess busy with her duties of answering numerous phone-calls and receiving visitors. At eleven her duty done, she winds her way up the stairs, and is free to retire with the others. Again we hear queer sounds as preparations for bed-time begin. Finally as the residence settles down for the night the little noises subside and as the lights flicker out one by one the long day is done.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Miss M. Bruhjell, Treasurer, Miss E. Young, Secretary, Miss S. Gleim, Vice-President, Miss G. Harder, President. The enthusiasm of the Student Government is only a reflection of the enthusiasm of every student. This was stimulated in 1955-56 by the interest of the hospital com¬ munity. Especially encouraging have beer the willing guidance of the T.S.O. in the persons of Mrs. W. Barrington and Miss Beecher, the generosity of the M.G.E.A. and the cooperation of all departments which aid us in our activities. We are especially indebted to Mrs. Hannah and the anonymous stenographer for their work in the re vision of our five-year-old Constitution. Working with Mrs. Hannah was a valuable learning experience for us. The Yearbook’s condition appears much improved due to continued therapy. Transfusions of the past two years have made this possible. We are only sorry they could not overcome the elements and cause spontaneous recovery last year. It is hoped that the efforts to keep our affiliates informed about the events here at home” is suc¬ cessful. Thanks to all members for your willing support. It certainly is good to have answers to the Rollcall. Miss E. Young, Secretary.
