Deloris Gates, Ianet Schmidt, Ioann Shutt, Betty Ann Varney and Pauline Pelesky We have many outside interests but much tree time is spent in the nurses home. ln the tall and win- ter months most ot our in- terests naturally turn to frantic studying.

Any reasonable tac- simile demonstrated is greatly appreciated by all. At other leisure times, We pursue television and radio programs, discuss sports, timely topics, and politics, and even go in tor hair-cutting and per- manent Waving. in nw: nfl-duty Janet Wertz, Marlene Schmidt, Virginia Prieto Beverly McKasick and Gemma Vergerio BACK ROW-Patricia Dominy, Pearl Palazzi and Kathleen Moore FRONT ROW-Ioyce Roberts, Pauline Peleslcy, Shirley Sanner, Ioyce Stephens Doris Gregory , Aurora Calderon, Violet Vrtis and Greeta Clark.
