PROLOGUE We are all actresses on the stage of life. Our drama begins when we are but inexperienced amateurs led bv the guiding light of past stars. At first, the task seems too big, and we are tempted to end the play before it is truly begun. But we play our part and progress until we are capped at the end of Scene I. Our nurse ' s cap is a treasured possession, a symbol of our dedication to humanity— calling forth from each of us the highest qualities of womanhood. Through smiles and tears, we each portray our character. There are happy days when the play goes smoothly and tiresome nights of studying the script. As we pause in our reflections, we see the tragedies and comedies mingled together into one completed drama, and our happiness and sorrows interpreted as one role in Life ' s play. For some of us, our role is ending; for others it is iust beginning. We seniors pause to look back on the play we have acted; you underclassmen are looking forward to the three happy years whicb will change you from amateurs into professional actors. Many of us will begin a new play, while others will add new acts to this play and become great stars with names in shining lights. The performance is about to begin, the house lights dim, the babble of voices and the tinkling of laughter fade away, and the footlights flash on. . . . Page Six - ■ ■ - - - - -
