THE BLUFF SENIOR CLASS POEM We're the Senior nurses of '27 Fourteen in all you sees- We're always in for any good time When from duty we are free. Our President, Miss Allen, tho- She's better known as Liz , Her motto now is Westward Ho! We wonder why it is? Knight and Martinson, room mates true On third they chance to stay. You find them with their earphones on, Bc it night or be it day. She has a lot of dignity And still they call her Jo, Hinton's future's rather hazy-but, We bet she'll make the dough. A jolly nurse full five feet ten, In weight she'll surely win, Miss Binder weighs two hundred now, She never will get thin. Miss Adamson with tresses long Has a smile for everyoneg She does her best, when duty calls And never' lacks for fun. Our Billie Adams with hair of gold Some think she's very clever- For men may come and men may go But Bill talks on forever, Our little Jess is full of pep, Miss Wortman needs a horn To waken all the sleeping girls At six-fifteen each morn. Miss Culver with her eyes of blue Has vamped oh! many a man, To think of a song she cannot sing, Just try it if you can. Miss Schulze is from a western state, And never makes much noise But we think it's really fair to say She likes our Iowa boys. She does her work with all her might, Miss Paschal's not afraid To aid a doctor anytime Or make a kitchen raid. Miss Johnson with her snappy eyes, And nifty boyish bob, They say she talks an awful lot But she'll tackle any job. --1S--

THE -BLUFF From Avoca comes Miss Walker, She's nifty, neat and prim, She's very fondof Uncle Bob This maiden blonde so slim. Miss Larson lost her long straight locks And now she curls them tightg NVe've heard she's stepped out with the men, Now is this really right?

She claims her success is due to her experience on Third Floor of the Edmundson Hospital. A telegram was just received from Mrs. Aikins, the former Miss Elizabeth Allen, who sends her love.

We have with us tonight one of the most popular matrons of the select set of Hicksville, South Dakota. Mrs. Silas Hornsby is visiting us for a few weeks while selecting her daughter's trousseau. I am sure we all remember when Miss Schultze was selecting her own trousseau while in training. We have a telegram from the Misses Knight and Adams, who are on an extended trip throughout the world in an effort to improve the modern hospitals. They con- gratulate us on having, in their opinion, the finest and most improved hospital in the world.
