To the O.R., we leave our tired feet, chapped hands and aching back. To the Juniors, we leave our black bands in hope you will act like dignified Seniors as we did. To the Freshmen, we leave plenty of time off duty to do their socializing. I, Mary Goodbar, will my ability to hold and love one man to Brenda DiGrassi. I, Barbara Goins, leave my ability to run all over the country after a barefoot boy to anyone who thinks they can keep up with me. I, Violet Sweet, will my calm, cool and collected ways to anyone who is in need of them. I, Betty Roberts, will my ability to get a crush on one man and keep it to Sue Gay in hopes she has better luck than I did. I, Mary Brooks, will my ability to obtain a record player and buy a record every month to someone who can afford it. I never could. I, Jenny Fox, will my love for brown eyes and dark hair to those girls who love frosty blondes. I, Gay Owens, will my brown sweater to anyone who thinks they can get by with wear¬ ing it - I never could! I, Jenny Bond, leave all the boys to the oncoming classes, I, Karen Bostic, will my ability to get into trouble to anyone who can outdo me. I, Delberta Ruckman, will my ability to sleep until 6:30 a.m,, have breakfast, and get to work by 6:50 a. m. to anyone who thinks they can do it. I, Eliza Goodbar. will my ability to flirt with the men to anyone who has what it takes. I, Lucy Williams, will my love for the country to those city girls who have telephones.

I, Connie Houchins, leave to anyone capable, my ability to be mischievous and still remain innocent. I, Ellen Crawford, will my quiet, soft bedroom shoes to Sandra Pivont for future use in hopes she won ' t make so much noise. I, Delores Dilly, leave my ability to argue, to Sarah Payne and hope she profits by it. 1 sure haven ' t. I, Ethel Gill, leave my dance, The Charleston, to anyone who thinks they can do it.

Prophecy A reunion of the Class of 1958 of the Chesapeake and Ohio School of Nursing was held last night at Pig Run Inn owned and operated by Lucy and Bob. It was a lovely evening, with a turnout of 19 graduates, and husbands and 51 child¬ ren. The first to arrive at the inn was Mildred with her husband Ray and four lovely chil¬ dren. Mildred is now the Pediatric Supervisor at C O Hospital. Virginia Bond arrived with her husband, a doctor, whom she met while working as Operating Room Supervisor at Richmond Memorial Hospital. (By the way this is Jenny ' s third husband.) Who do you think flew all the way from California just to be with us? Yes, you ' re right, Barbara Goins Williams and her husband. Bill. Barb is now head nurse on the Psy¬ chiatric ward at Letterman ' s Army Hospital. (By the way they have two sets of twins plus three other children.) Yes, Delberta Ruckman finally married Bud (no surprise to us). They have a large chicken farm in Frost, W. Va, Delberta is Superintendent of the Frost General Hospital. Ellen Crawford arrived slim and chic in her 1962 red. Ford Convertible. Ellen is supervisor of 4th floor of Children ' s Hospital, Richmond, Va. Keep up the good work, Ellen. The next step will be a gold Cadillac. Upon arriving, Connie Houchins quickly shed her shoes, and honored us with the Charleston. Connie is still working with Ringling Brothers Circus in Florida. She plans to leave the Circus soon and join her husband, John, in Selba, South Dakota. Violet Sweet slipped quietly to the back table with her husband, Earl. They have just returned from Italy, where they spent three months in the glass house that Earl de¬ signed. As we looked around, in strolled the former Mary Goodbar with her husband. Tommy, and three little towheads. Mary looked as gay as she did on her wedding day. Tommy has re-enlisted in the Air Force for the third time. Mary has given up Nursing to be with her children, and to tour the country with Tommy. (How does it feel to be a Colonel ' s wife, Mary?) After talking to Mary and Tommy for a few minutes, who appears but Mary Brooks with her husband. Roy. She told us Roy has been out of the Navy for a year now and aft¬ er receiving her degree in Nursing Education, they will reside in Orlando, Fla. , where Roy is employed in deep sea fishing and Mary will teach in a hospital there. (No chil¬ dren as yet.) Who just drove up in the black and white Ford with a gold stripe? It couldn ' t be Janey Goodbar -- Yes, Air Force uniform and all. Captain at that. She tells us that she is stationed in Indiana and from the looks of that three carat diamond she seems to be doing all right for herself. (Couldn ' t be you know who, could it, Janey?)
