Daly, who is an executive of outstanding ability. Despite the trying times, under his leadership the Hospital functions efficiently. Sharing the responsibilities of leadership, which are so vastly increased because of the accelerated program in a wartime world, are Dr. Guy Francis and Dr. Roscoe Pullen. Dr. Francis and Dr. Pullen not only carry on their work in the wards and in the operating rooms, but have been serving as assistant clinical directors of the surgical and medical departments for the past year.

WATSON [ 17 ] Capping 1942. n i o CLASS OF 19 4 4 [ 20 ] if I LYNDAL LAVENDER President Lyndal Lavender is a serious girl with a subtle sense of humor and a special fondness for beautiful ear rings. She served as Freshman Class secretary. Junior Class treas¬ urer, and our ingenuous Senior Class president. Lennie maintained a Sigma Alpha Chi average for three years. She was a member of the Athletic Club in ' 41 and ' 42. She is one of our most promising nurses. Capping 1942 [ 21 ] MARY LOUISE (Weesie to some of us) ADAIR is that quiet demure blonde from Little Rock, Arkansas. She has shown ability during her three years at Charity by chalking up quite a few marks for herself. She ' s handled our money since pre-clinical days. Conscientious and reliable, she has also served us as a member of student council all three years, and as chairman of last year ' s Uniform Committee she was one of those where ' s your hair net—five demerits girls. Gonzales, Louisiana, gave us HELEN ATTAYA, Atta-wa to many instructors. As a pre-clinical, freshman, and junior, Helen was an active member of the Athletic Club. She will be remembered as a member of the Decorations Committee the year we gave the pre-clinical Christmas Party. As a junior and senior, she has found time be¬ tween stays in the Infirmary to be on the Uniform Com¬ mittee. ELPHIE BABINEAUX comes to us from Lake Charles, Louisiana. She is ready to assist with plans for Sr. Stanislaus ' Feast Day and she also does her share in enter¬ taining the army. As an Athletic Club member in ' 42, she showed special interest in bowling. Famous for her alternating temperament, sense of humor, and terrific vi¬ tality, Elphie is something to graft on any family tree. We predict a happy future. GWENDOLYN BARTH, Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, and Lynwood, California, was another super-active Athletic Clubber. She was cheerleader in ' 41, ' 42 and ' 43. Gwen always participated in preparing for Sr. Stanislaus ' Feast Day. Her activities are patriotic in nature; if she ' s not at¬ tending or helping with a dance for the service men, she is writing letters to some of the many on her list. P. S. There ' s a special. Realistic and serious about life is MARGUERITE BRANTLEY. Between nursing, the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps, she has had a very busy and happy life here at dear ole Charity. When the going gets rough, she likes it all the better. She was an active member of the Glee Club in ' 41 and ' 42. New affiliates have enjoyed the fruits of her labors at their welcome parties. ( 22 ] Three years ago, CHRISTINE ALLBRITTON packed her clothes, bade adieu to friends, foes, and relatives of Louisville, Mississippi, and entered Charity Hospital to become a nurse. Besides learning to be a good nurse, she has given her talent for the benefit of the Glee Club. In ' 42 and ' 43 she served on the Infirmary Party Com¬ mittee. It was swell knowing you, Chris. For her sweet self, conscientious endeavor, and athletic ability, we salute ROSEMARY ANCLIN. For three years she has been an Athletic Club member. She made the basketball varsity in ' 41, was Treasurer of the Club in ' 42 and made the Volley Ball varsity in ' 43 and ' 44. Be¬ tween duty and athletics, Rosie found time to make happy the girls in the infirmary. White Castle, Louisiana, claims her. Quick spoken, casual mannered, and gay, DORIS BANKS¬ TON was right on hand when enthusiasm was born—she is enthusiasm itself. She ' s a member of the famous Flowers-Bankston-Guthrie-Brignac team, and when they put their shoulder to the wheel the spokes fall out. Like Coffee and cream, Bankston and hard work go well to¬ gether, and she ' s earned a name for herself as a hard¬ working capable nurse. Baywood, Louisiana, is her home. AUDREY BERTRAND is a vivacious individual, as most people from Opelousas, Louisiana, are. In ' 40 and ' 41, Audrey was an Athletic Club Cheerleader. She also took much interest in bowling. In ' 41, ' 42, and ' 43 she participated in all the Social Club functions. Audrey is now in the Pediatric Clinic and a guiding hand for student nurses. RELDA BRASWELL, one of the best liked gals around, comes from deep in the heart of Linden, Texas. In ' 42 and ' 43, the Literary and Dramatic Club claimed her a member. Nineteen forty-three and ' 44 saw her as Senior Class Rep¬ resentative to Student Council. Her interests are wide and varied, including poetry and good music. Say, La Traviata or Public Health Nursing and she ' s there stat. [ 23 | RUTH MARGARET BRIGNAC hails irom Hester, Louisiana. Briggy is one girl who gets things done when they are supposed to be done. Even though she is a Sigma Alpha Chi, she is no book worm, just a naturally smart girl. The twinkle ot her blue eyes and her friendly smile have set many a heart aglow. When it comes to making people happy on their birthday, she knows all the tricks. With a smile full of subtle charm that exposes pearly teeth, LaVERNE CARTER will greet you at anytime, day or night. She was an interested and enthusiastic member of the Social Club in ' 41 and ' 42 and a regular bomb¬ shell on the E ntertainment Committee for the ' 41 Christmas Party. LaVerne is from Houston, Texas, and wears a diamond on THE finger from THE pilot. KATHRYN BOBBIE CLAYTON, Sigma Alpha Chi ' 43- ' 44, is the one person we know who never looks into an empty mailbox. She was an enthusiastic Athletic Club member. She also served as Social Club Vice-President, was kept busy as White Cap Circulating Manager, ' 42, and is our efficient Class Secretary. The girl with many friends, the one most special being a former University of Florida football star, comes from Orlando, Florida. Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Benton Harbor, Michigan, sent us ROSALIE COSTANZA. A very efficient nurse, she sails breezily into work with energy and assurance. She was an active Athletic Club member in ' 42; she also rendered valuable service in preparing for the Christmas Party. Life for her is precise and conventional without losing its humorous touch. Neat and soft-spoken she ' s a very good sport who ' s not afraid to be herself. JEANNETTE DAVIS, the campus favorite, in her modest manner has made one of the best Student Body Presi¬ dents ever to hold office. She represented us in council in ' 42 and ' 43 and has maintained a Sigma Alpha Chi rating throughout her training. In ' 42 and ' 43 she chose membership in the Athletic Club. Navy, regretfully we are sending you one of our most efficient nurses. 1 24 | I Not even time can upset the calm conscientious Burgie, or ALINE BURGMEIER. She is one of those strong silent Texans. Her home town is Palestine. The chief talent she possesses is photographic skill. In ' 41 and ' 42, Alfrie was an active Athletic Club member. We still remember her excellent help on the decorations for our pre- clinical Christmas Party. She boasts the most beautiful brown eyes of anyone we know. ' Mix together equal parts of energy and unbounded en¬ thusiasm, add the sweetness of a smile, a little ginger and a generous amount of humor and unselfishness, com¬ bined with frank curiosity and plenty of patience and you have RUTH CHRIST. Without her the Glee Club, as well as the Catholic Organization, would have been minus its backbone. She was our junior representative to Student Council, and the morale of the Armed Forces certainly has been lifted by her gay smile and dancing feet. Air-minded MERLE COCKE comes from New Orleans. Possessor of beautiful brown eyes, a delightful personality, and special love for flying, she spends all of her spare moments in the study of aeronautics. She also finds time to don formal attire and spend a lovely evening out dancing. Cocke was an active member of the Social Club in ' 42. Keep ' Em flying. Merle. With brains and beauty, LOUISE COWART represents Pinetta, Florida. In ' 42 and ' 43 Gussie was a Social and an Athletic Club member. Throughout, she has been a member of Sigma Alpha Chi, was on the Uniform Com¬ mittee, and on the White Cap Advertising Staff. Al¬ though she is President of Sigma Alpha Chi, Secretary of ' 44 CAPS AND CAPES, and Senior Class Vice-President, she finds time to play the organ and date the Navy. Alluring beauty and quiet charm make MARION DE LA TOUR our candidate for a true daughter of the South. Her calm is unruffled—her smile ever sweet. Marion is des¬ tined to make a name for herself in the world of art. We ' ve seen much of her work, and we hail her as art editor of CAPS AND CAPES. She ' s a native of New Orleans and a typical southern lady. $ T id l( ! f Is 7 I 25 ] From New Orleans, Louisiana, MARIE AMELIA DeLERNO joined us back in ' 41. She has been very interested in all school functions, having helped with the fall fiesta in ' 41 and affiliate party in ' 43. Her favorite words are chum, Sha, and ta-ta. DeLerno made Sigma Alpha Chi her first year and is still a Sigma Alpha Chi. In ' 43 she enjoyed the social club functions. Simmesport, Louisiana, sent us GERTRUDE DUFOUR who is known for her cajan accent. Gert is another of those jit- terbugging girls. Her best partner is her roommate, Elaine LaCour. The Uniform Committee has had her as a member for ' 43 and ' 44. Dufour, with an itchy foot and a flare for tropical romance, has picked a man from Honduras and will make her home there post-graduation. Hitting high C is one of her many accomplishments. Her quiet and gracious manner is one of her many at¬ tributes. A native of New Orleans, she has been a familiar figure in our music and art circles, and you ' ve no doubt heard her sing at some of our social gatherings. She ' s a good student—willing to work. This is MARY LOUISE EIERMAN. ETHEL FLOWERS left Mississippi behind her and came to enter our fold in January, ' 42. She ' s been bounding around with a seemingly endless supply of energy ever since. Her smile would put the toothpaste ads to shame, and she ' s one of those oh-so-faithful members of the Glee Club. She ' s kept in trim playing volley ball and bowling. Besides that, she found time to serve on the Uniform Committee in ' 43 and ' 44. We hear that her overseas correspondence equals the Sears-Roebuck cata¬ logue in volume. GERTRUDE GAUTIER came to us from L. S. U., having completed her freshman year there before following the urge to become an Angel of Mercy and follow in the footsteps of her sister, who ' s long since seen duty on the battlefront. Creole, Mississippi (a lazy little town bask¬ ing on the Gulf), claims her, but is destined to lose another daughter to Uncle Sam e ' er long. Gertrude was treas¬ urer of the Current Events Club in ' 42 and ' 43, taking part in all its activities. | 26 I A good friend, who likes and trusts everybody, is this WANDA ANNETTE DROST, from Ville Platte, Louisiana. She is a hard and conscientious worker but extremely sociable withal. In ' 41 and ' 43, Annette was a member of the Glee Club and in ' 42 and ' 43 reporter for the White Cap. If you want to know something about allergy, ask Annette—even the word gets in her hair. Surgical Nursing in W505 is like ice cream and cake to BEVERLY CECILIA ECKHART, a native of New Orleans. Her sweet and ready smile has won her more friends than the average person can claim. In ' 43 Beverly served on the January Infirmary Committee, March Birthday Com¬ mittee, and August Welcome Party for the Affiliates. Her ability to plan entertainment has been proved again and again. AMANDA ELLENDER, from our own fair city, for the last year has had a twinkle in her eye that, like a neon sign, flicks out G-E-O-R-G-E. Mandy is a top notch nurse with personality plus. She enjoys flashing the third finger left-hand to show her sparkler. She was a member of the Athletic Club in ' 42 and ' 43. Is shrimping fun, huh? Practical, serious-minded EDITH FONTAN spent one year at L. S. U. before coming to Charity. She ' s from Mansura, Louisiana, and has given much time to the promotion of Charity ' s extra-curricular activities. She has a frank curiosity, a keen mind, and an endless flow of chatter. As a Glee Club member, she was interested, willing, and cooperative. Meridian, Mississippi, sends us IDA GEORGE. In ' 41 the Social Club claimed her, but in ' 42 the Athletic Club gained her favor. CAPS AND CAPES owes a special hand to Georgie for her untiring efforts and exuberant school spirit. She first exhibited to us one of her outstand¬ ing talents when she served on the Refreshment Com¬ mittee in ' 41. Speaking of friends, she is tops. 1 27 J If supermen were superwomen, VIVIAN GIBSON.. ol Montgomery, Alabama, would lead the pack and we don ' t mean physically. Gibby has proved herself dependable as a nurse and friend. Her remarkable sense of humor, flashy smile, and twinkling blue eyes have chizzled a large corner for her in the hearts of classmates and medi¬ cal staff. She was Junior Class Vice-President and Social Club member in ' 42 and ' 43. If MARTHA GROVE had a nickel for every time she had to study she could pay the national war debt. There is nothing Grove likes better than a week-end in Wesson, Mississippi, her home town. In ' 41 Martha ran the Roulette Wheel for the Fall Fiesta. She joined the Social Club in ' 41 also. Her chief marks of distinction are her big baby brown eyes and letters from the South Pacific. MAXINE GUTHRIE ' S extra-curricular activities these days consists chiefly in helping her father be Mayor of Poncha- toula, Louisiana, which, according to her, is a tough assignment. In addition, she finds time to spend eight and one-half hours each day giving good nursing care; we can well remember when she burned plenty of that proverbial midnight oil, diligently poring over Chem¬ istry, Anatomy, and Dr. Burdon ' s Microbiology, besides struggling through the nursery rhymes of Miss Sable ' s Nursing Arts Class. She ' s been an ever active member of the bowling and volley ball teams. Under her mature exterior, MYRTLE HANKS is a bit naive and sentimental, but that is part of her charm. This young lady is not only athletically inclined but also a charm¬ ing hostess. Her beautiful black hair is never mussed up whether she is playing volley ball or taking one of her freguent bicycle rides. In addition to her class pin she wears a pair of silver wings. From Edgewater, Florida, comes GERTRUDE ESTER HOFF¬ MAN. Hoffy is due much credit for a successful Christmas Party in ' 41 and for a memorable Freshman-Senior Party in ' 42. As photographer for CAPS AND CAPES this year, she has spent much of her time snapping campus scenes. She has also found time to do her share for National Defense. She brings lovel y snapshots back from her regular Florida visits. [ 28 ] Another daughter of Arkansas is ONEIDA GIFFORD, but to her home is where the heart is and these three years have found her heart deep in her work here at Charity. Conscientious and eager to please, she gets her work done and does it well. A member of the Glee Club, she has been active in its program, and who, oh who, could ever forget that red hair? PAT GUERRERO is another of our Spanish Senoritas. Congenial, friendly and energetic, she is liked by all. Nursing, Texas, and the Navy are favorite topics for conversation, and if it ' s a helping hand you need Pat has two to offer. She ' s been a n enthusiastic member of the Athletic Club, and hers is a true spirit of Charity, as is evidenced by her willingness and cooperation always. Panama City, Florida, and Langley Field, Virginia, gave us JANE HALLFORD. Janey, with the beautiful red hair, has vim, vigor, and vitality that indicates she eats her vitamins every day. Although Jane wasn ' t on White Cap Staff in ' 42 and ' 43, she was a willing and valuable worker. The Social Club boasted her membership in ' 41 and the Glee Club in ' 42 and ' 43. The Army Air Corps forever, Jane? MARY ALINE HENDERSON from Donaldsonville, Louisiana, is one of the first to haul out a shiny B.S. degree in Nursing. She came here after two years at L. S. U. Hennie has an allergy to alarm clocks, is known for her continual good nature and subtle sense of humor. She served on the ' 41 Christmas Party Committee, and as November ' 43 Birthday Party chairman. She came to us JESSIE PEARL HOLMAN—that was in ' 42. She ' s Penny (Hank ' s pet name) to us now, and it ' s our opinion she ' ll leave us not Jessie Holman but Penny Stoer (Mrs. Hank). Dr. Stoer is the lucky fellow. Fired with ambition, she was the model student—the studious one—the intelligencia among pre-clinicals, with a com¬ plete (and unabridged) medical vocabulary on her tongue ' s tip. An active Glee Club member, she sings well, and love has given her added glammer. ( 29 J Give EMILY KARAM a box of food from home, a cigarette, some more food from home, a coke and a letter from the one and she ' s happy. Her winning ways make her exceedingly popular, and she ' s been a familiar figure around Charity. She ' s tops in looks, has dancing in her bones, and Fenton, Louisiana, gave her to us. Slow and easy going, she’s everybody ' s friend. MARIAM KEFF, with unaffected sophistication, is a lover of good music and art and you ' ll find her a regular patron at the opera, concerts, ballets, and dramatic per¬ formances. She was a member of the Literary Dramatic Club last year and this year you ' ll find her knee deep in verbs and pronouns in Miss Stanley ' s L. S. U. English classes. New Orleans is her home but we can still get her lost in the French Quarter. Without her brown hat with a red feather perched on the side or back of her head, just going to town or on a vigorous hike, VIDALIA KRAEMER just couldn ' t be Kraemer from Thibodeaux, Louisiana. For three years, she has been an enthusiastic and active member of the Ath¬ letic Club of which she is now President. Kraemer will be remembered for her dependability and honest-to- goodness congeniality. Cheery and light of heart a guip on the end of her tongue always, ELAINE LA COUR scatters sunshine and laughter wherever she goes. Carrying out a family tradition, Elaine is one of a long line of La Cour nurses. She ' s had a difficult time, keeping her mind on nursing, with the Navy in first place;—wedged between her textbooks on Nursing Procedures, you find a copy of Navy Wife. MARY JANE LATIMER left Guntersville, Alabama, to seek fame, fortune, and excitement in gay New Orleans. She ' s found fame as a dependable, capable nurse; and life here has been gay and exciting. The future promises to provide the fortune, and Mary Jane has an eye to the future. She ' s one of our best dressed gals and presents a faultless appearance in uniform as well as in her Sunday best. I 30 1 Place LETHA KAY at the head of the list of real down to earth, good natured people. She ' d give you the shirt off her back, and she ' s the sort of person we mean when we say, a friend indeed. Letha still thinks she ' d make a good farmer, but nursing claimed her interest, and it looks as if the farm will have to suffer. Oh, yes—she ' s from Louisiana. MARY VIRGINIA KLOTZ is as surprising as a Christmas package, as refreshing as an April shower. She tackles her work with a fierceness that spells getting things done. We ' ve never seen her study but her super brain seems to work with surprising efficiency and Sigma Alpha Chi claims her. Her combined wit, intellect, and constant exhuberance make her a favorite, and she ' s also senior representative to Student Council. GERTRUDE LA CROIX, Sigma Alpha Chi. ' 42 and ' 43, possesses vivacious, unsophisticated charm, and is claimed by Fort Worth, Texas. For outstanding work as White Cap Business Manager, she received the quill in ' 43, and has shown her journalistic and photographic abilities as ingenious Associate Editor, CAPS AND CAPES. Trudy is Maid of Honor in our Beauty Court, Glee Club mem¬ ber, ' 42, Dance Committee ' 43 and ' 44, and an Army-Navy favorite. I i MYRTLE LANDRY, the girl with the magnetic personality, has been an outstanding member of the Athletic Club, making the Basketball Varsity in ' 41 and the Volley Ball Varsity in ' 42. Also a good student, she served as secre¬ tary of Sigma Alpha Chi in ' 43. Cotillion Landry ' s favorite pastime is dancing to the strains of soft music in dim lights and wearing that sentimental orchid in her hair. Day in and day out, TENNIE LOU LAY remains the same unselfish, good natured one. Good-hearted, generous, and fun-loving. Lay is typical of our best students and efficient nurses. She is keenly interested in world affairs and keeps abreast with current happenings. She ' s espe¬ cially interested at present in promoting the good neigh¬ bor policy with South America. [ 31 ] Orchids to DOT LeBLANC for her school spirit and tireless effort. She ' s known as a good sport and willing worker, with the school ' s interest at heart always; she has been big sister to more affiliates and pre-clinical students than we have fingers and toes to count. Dot was a faithful member of the Athletic Club, Student Council Secretary, junior representative to Council, and a mem¬ ber of the Uniform Committee. The good ole summertime makes it possible for MARGARET ELLA LeGRANGE to participate in her most enjoyable sport—swimming. This she does so well that the fish in Lake Pontchatrain have challenged her to races; they consider her stiff competition. If a swim is impossible, a show will usually suffice. Margaret left Ponchatoula, Louisiana, and has learned much about the care of the sick. RUNELLE McGEHEE from Clewiston, Florida, could pass as a citizen of any one of the South American countries. Her jet hair, dark eyes, and sun kissed complexion blend together to make one of the most attractive girls here at Charity. She was a member of the Social Club in ' 41, ‘42, and ' 43. Maggie is noted for her odd sense of humor and ability to catch any joke. MARY ALPHA MIXON comes from Rosetta, Mississippi, and is well known for the 1000 cal. diet she could never follow. Mary lent her vocal ability to the Glee Club in ' 41 and ' 42. As a junior, she was a strict member of the Uniform Committee, and made Sigma Alpha Chi, which rating she has maintained as a senior. Some of Mary ' s characteristics are flash-bulb pictures and a chuckling giggle. From Arkansas (Little Rock) comes BARBARA LUCILLE (don ' t middle names hold surprises?) PARSONS. Besides nursing, she ' s interested in Arkansas, and we don ' t know what her plans for the future are but we ' ll wager that graduation will find Bingy on the road to the land of razorbacks and ridgerunners. She ' s capable and efficient. It ' s the Army for Barbara. | 32 I In spite oi her unfriendly gallbladder.. JUANITA LEGER from Iowa, Louisiana, is one of the sweetest girls ever to attend Charity. As a pre-clinical in ' 41, she was pre¬ sented in the court of the Fall Fiesta. In ' 41, and ' 43, Juanita has been an active member in the Social Club and helped on various committees. Juanita is one of our kindest and most promising nurses. JOYCE MAILHES hates to get up in the morning; is allergic to eleven-thirty curfew; sleeping is her favorite sport, and eating between meals gives her energy. She lives in New Orleans, and loves it. She rooms with Nicky Nichols and the combination is perfect. She has nightmares with visions of pre-clinical days, and nursing has become a pleasant habit. She ' s Navy-minded too. GERALDINE McMURRAY is a magnificent blend of Cov¬ ington and New Orleans, Louisiana. Her vivacious smile and gracious manner go well with her peaches-and-cream complexion that made the judges say, Her, for the beauty court, this year. Gerry was a member of the Social Club in ' 42- ' 43 and the Uniform Committee in ' 43- ' 44. Snaps from the tropics and Alaska are her treasured possessions. We don ' t know who MARY BELLE NICHOLS is, but Nicky is that full of vim blonde with the lovable per- j sonality. She can do the darndest things and still we love her. Truly the Sweetheart of Charity, Nicky is also on the witty side and can always be depended on to put everyone in a good humor. She leads with a smile, and is one of our all-time favorites. When SARA ANN PYE, Houma, Louisiana, puts her ear to the ground it is probably pointed toward England. If it by chance points this way, she is listening to tones I from the Glee Club of which she was a member in ' 41, and was elected president in ' 42. Sara is Business Manager of CAPS AND CAPES, has participated on the Volley Ball court, and helped to arrange affiliate parties. [ 33 ] When you mention ESTELA QUINONES you think of beautiful brown eyes, glossy black hair, and a Spanish accent. During her days at Charity, she has been a faithful member of the Glee Club and rendered valuable service on various committees. She ' s an authority on dl espanol, and is interested in dancing and home¬ making. She plans to make house-wifing a real career. Estela is claimed by El Paso, Texas. SIMONE RICHERAND received her name long before there was a movie star, Simone Simone. This she was christened here in New Orleans. Simone was known for her friendli¬ ness even before she entered Charity Hospital School of Nursing. She has been a Social Club member from ' 41 to the present time. Another quality of Simone ' s is her outstanding ability in the Operating Room. Originality and proficiency in organization makes IDA ELINE ROGERS an outstanding student—a connoisseur of in¬ tellects and a lover of wit; she added her talent to the Literary and Dramatic Club in ' 41 and ' 42. Ida contributed many lovely original writings. A hand to her for a successful Christmas Party, ' 41. Forest Home, Alabama, proudly boasts Ida Eline ' s citizenship. MARY FRANCES RYALL from Sebastian, Florida, is known for her ability to stay on night duty and for her regular boxes of citrus fruits from home. For three years, Mary has been a faithful member of the Glee Club even though she says she can ' t carry a tune in a bucket. She is an outstanding favorite with all her patients. Other activities include membership on the Uniform Com¬ mittee and regular letters to Bob. LOUISE RITA SAVOIE from Houma, Louisiana, was an Athletic Club member in ' 42 and a Social Club member that same year. Louise has expressive looks from her deep brown eyes that record practically every thought that disturbs her tranquil brain. Besides her interest in nursing, she keeps up on events of the world. Most of her information comes first hand from one of her friends in the Navy. [ 34 ] Orlando, Florida, gave us a songbird in the person of MARTHA RAMSEY. She sings and sings beautifully, and the Glee Club claimed her interest, of course. She served on various committees, and there ' s a smile for everybody when Martha ' s around. There ' s one and only one ANNA RODWELL. There will never be another like her. From Baton Rouge she came to New Orleans, but dreams of a cottage white, nestled in a trim orange grove will lure her to California come post-war days. Her interests now are divided between brother Otto in the Army and brother Odlin in the Marines—and she likes nursing too. She also likes fried chicken. MINNIE GRAHAM ROGERS, egually outstanding as her sister, Ida Eline, served as Literary and Dramatic Club Treasurer and White Cap reporter, ' 42. She won ap¬ plause for her dramatic ability in The Light Went Out. Our other hand goes to her for that memorable Christmas Party and the Affiliate Party ' 42. She makes the most delicious candy, knits, and crochets, besides attending symphonies and operas during leisure hours. She hails from Forest Home, Alabama. HELEN SAINE dabbled in newspaper work and stenog¬ raphy in her home town of Trenton, Tennessee, before entering Nursing School in January, ' 42. As a junior, she was secretary of her class, and was appointed editor of the current issue of CAPS AND CAPES. Her dreams of the future include nursing and home-making, with the scene laid far away in Winsted, Connecticut. Says she, I know I ' m going to love being a Connecticut Yankee. . Representative of Huntland, Tennessee, is MARGARET INELLA SNOW. Her endearing sweetness of manner and winning smile have created her individuality. She was an active Glee Club member in ' 41 and ' 42 and has given her time on various committees. Her ability as a sales¬ woman was proved when she did outstanding work at the rummage sale. Snow plans to join the Army Nurse Corps after coming out. ELAINE CATHERINE ST. JULIEN Irom Romantic Old New Orleans, first showed her originality as costume designer for the ' 41 Christmas Party. This outstanding characteristic was further demonstrated by her reports to the White Cap in ' 42 and ' 43. Elaine joined the Current Events Club in ' 41. She was president through ' 42 and ' 43. Don ' t let St. julien ' s serious expressions fool you. She ' s fun! BEULAH THOMAS is the dark haired, blue eyed beauty from Greensboro, Alabama. We were very glad to have her graduate as one of our class this year. In ' 40 she was one of Santa Claus ' s little helpers at the Christmas Party, but doesn ' t mind admitting she is an isolationist at heart. She sang with the Glee Club in ' 40, ' 41, ' 42, and ' 43. Good luck, B. T. To keep up the reputation of beautiful women from Texas, EVELYN TOUPS, of Port Arthur, walked off with the title Queen of the Court this year. Besides being a good nurse, Evelyn is known for her willingness to plan and carry out activities for the Social Club in ' 41, ' 42, and ' 43, and for the Dance Committee in ' 43 and ' 44. Toupsy is one well versed in cardiac conditions. FRANCES VERNON, brown haired, brown-eyed girl from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, came into the Nurses ' Residence October, ' 41 to don the uniform of a student nurse. In ' 42 and ‘43 Frances was an active member of the Athletic Club. She lent her untiring assistance on many party com¬ mittees—Christmas Party, Infirmary Parties, and Welcome Parties for Affiliates. In ' 43- ' 44 she was a member of the Uniform Committee. The girl with humor where one least expects to find it is MARY FRANCES WILLIAMS. Her said wit and humor are best displayed on night duty. She is the only girl in school that could gain 10 pounds in one month and lose it the next with a laugh. In ' 42 and ' 43 Mary Frances joined the Current Events Club. She also holds her own at the bowling alley. She comes from Perry, Florida. I 36 ] Casual and imperturbable is MARIE THOMAS from Ameri- cus, Georgia; her color combinations would startle many an artist. Marie was a Glee Club member in ' 41, then switched to the Social Club for ' 42 and ' 43. With her roommate, she sold more tickets to our Leap Year and Dog Patch Parties than any dozen of her classmates. Congratulations on your engagement and Navy choice, Marie. A very quiet, soft-voiced girl who loves to talk Carmen, William Tell, El Travador and other operas, is HELEN TOLLE, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. In ' 41, ' 42, and ' 43, Helen was an outstanding member of the Glee Club. Helen, in her own quiet way, is always around to assist in any way she can. Helen is lucky to have her section of the Marines close at home. ANNIE VELCHOFF from Vicksburg, Mississippi, has been busy in her off-duty time, being a member of the Social Club three years, helping with August, ' 42 Birthday Party and Applicant Welcome Parties. She is noted for her ability to plan good entertainment. Skippy ' s jitterbugging style is copied by all the jittering gals from pre-clinicals to seniors. She now wears a caduceus from Dr. Dan Feiberlman. VIVIAN VICKERS-SMITH from Leesburg, Florida, has that mysterious far-away look in her beautiful brown eyes. As yet no one has been able to find who the lucky man is. Vicky was a ' 43 member of the Social Club and a ' 42 and ' 43 reporter on the White Cap Staff. She was also chair¬ man of the Decorations Committee for the ' 42 Freshman- Senior Party. To keep up with IRMA WILLIAMSON from New Orleans, Louisiana, bumble bees do double time. Irma does so many in-school, out-school, and around-school things, it leaves one breathless to think about them. In ' 41 and ' 42, she belonged to the Social Club and in ' 42 and ' 43 to the Glee Club. Though not on White Cap ' 42 Staff, she ' s as good a paper boy as ever sold one.

Many plans went into the making of it, and we of the staff have had the earnest and faithful support of many of you. You have aided tremendously and we are grateful. Compiling the material for this yearbook has been a joy. Our cries for help were met on every occasion. We have en¬ deavored to make this a representative year book, and it is with pride that we present it. Miss Finnorn, our social director, has offered us extremely valuable assistance, and her predecessor, Mrs. Fitzgerald, gave us a push in the right direction when this issue of Caps and Capes was still in its infancy. We are indeed, grateful to Mrs. Julie Fa Her, who has put much time and effort into keeping track of the material, and putting our ideas and plans into an or¬ ganized form. Without her help we would never have survived. Mr. Benson burned the midnight oil with us and kept us from pulling our hair, interspersing his timely advice with sea¬ soned stories to keep our morale boosted. His extremely valuable assistance will not be forgotten by those of us who have worked with him. Moore ' s Studio, Mr. Trice and representatives of the Shreve¬ port Engraving Company are others who have been especially helpful to us, and the student body has cooperated beauti¬ fully. Members of our class have come to our aid, and are largely responsible for our financial success. The Sisters have been inspirational to us, offering sugges¬ tions and assistance. Our advertisers and friends have helped graciously and we appreciate their whole-hearted support. To everyone who had a finger in the pie we say, Thank, you. THE STAFF PATRONS MRS. J. L. KENNY MRS.
