History of the Class ,33 Exioas, do you remember about three years ago around the loth and list of August in the year 1930. Yes, sixty-eight excited, happy and ambitious girls were met as they arrived by their big sisters and a much-interested faculty! Wve were escorted to our rooms in the 'Old Nurses' Home, which is now the personnel building of the Christ Hospital, to spend three years in the so-called strict regime of the training school. lt was great fun and all so new to most of us coming from the freedom of our homes, then suddenly having all these sisters in one large family. .-Xll were interested in our being satisfied with our new home and made it very pleasant for us. The first week after our arrival we enjoyed our first party as a group. lt was a Wiener Roast held on a very interesting spot, the hill back of the Nurses' Home. Oh, my, and we must I1Ot forget the Uliid Party, where all came dressed as little girls and babies. lt was lots of fun. Dur first few weeks were spent in preparing for our first real thrill, assignments to floor duty. Vyhen we were taken to our respective floors l know we were the center of attention for once in our lives. XYe wanted to do our best, but just what that was at the moment we did not know. We were soon accepted as part of the hospital life after becoming accustomed to a few of the phases in the routine. There were times when we didn't know what to do or which way to turn, and those were the times many of us were subject to this disease called 'fhomesicknessf' These were the times when many were discouraged and would at the moment have given up all thoughts ofa promising future for even a short time at home. Some did return home in these moments, but December I9 brought much happiness to forty-four girls when Miss Leader and Miss XYilliams presented us with our dainty little white caps and nice bluish-gray capes, lined with red. This was a very beautiful and impressive service not only to us but others, for it was also the dedication of the new chapel. ln january we began our first terms of night duty. Qh, those quivery feelingsg even though we were the youngest we felt the whole hospital depended on us. The first medicine we ever gayel Wlhat kind was it-ea liquid or a pillf Will we ever forget? Being a very progressive and an ambitious group, we organized our class and elected Daisy Smith our president and Bliss XYaln our class advisor. Toward the last of December The new Christ Hospital was com- pleted and transferring of patients from the new Nurses' Home to the new hospital began December lo. lt was a great thrill, the patients enjoying it as much as we our first entrance to the new building. liverything was so new and shiny that it was a pleasure to work. ln the middle of january a new group of students entered and were received in our class with full membership both in work and play. lfach 50
