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

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 ]

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.
