BETTIE DAVIS SMITH 244 Seventh Avenue New York 30, New York March 13, 1930 Dependable, and hard working, Bette will always lend a helping hand. Never a bad word against anyone does she utter. On off duty hours we can always find the Babe 'curled up sleeping in kimona and kerchief or waiting for David to call. Being from down yonder Bette is always calm and unhurried. Able to see the brighter side of things, we will never forget the famous question, What time does the hairdresser's open? As our first mother, Bette has proven herself an understanding friend, with her fine wit and dry sense of humor. Bette has always made friends readily. We are 18 of those people who will never forget her. Take from my life all worry and care and put in their place a soft arm chair. Mother Bette Babe BEVERLY J EAN STRAYTON 28 Garfield Avenue Cranston, Rhode Island August 1, 1934 Little daughters, Squigilies, come to Mother. That's Bev, motherly advisor to the class. The girl with the fast comeback and dry wit better known to all of us as mother. As the class neologist, Bev is always the life of the party and anything is apt to happen. Usually seen knitting or getting ready to go some place, Bev is another gal with a fine listening ear. Little Rhode Island and Bev have taken a great deal of kidding in the last three years, but we really don't think Cranston is so small. When hurricane Carol hit her home town we had a lot of laughs when she told of her out- door cooking and candlelight. Pioneering isn't for Bev. No laws do bind me.

Q if Fra n LORRAINE MARIE SMIGLIANI 94 Davidson Street Hyde Park, Massachusetts February 10, 1935 A big girl . . . a big personality. When one hears that giggle, you immediately know who it is. Our best dancer by unanimous decision of the entire class. Smig is best known as the girl with man troubles. Everyone is curious to know which one will be her final choice. At the moment she seems to be favoring a certain hunk of man in the Air Force. Going home, Smig? Having spaghetti? Want me to come? We've never refused, and the result is the Smigliahi family having spaghetti more often than usual. Besides that spaghetti, we love those cocktail parties before the proms. Main ambition . . ,to be the aunt of a nephew!! Success, remember is the reward of toil. FRANCES ELIZABETH SKILLING 261 South Franklin Street Holdbrook, Massachusetts September 4, 1934 Fran is the girl who has everything to offer . . . a rare combination of looks and brains. She can talk to anyone about anything, from politics to poetry to the price of tea. She will always be remembered for her New Year's Eve party of '53 with its main attraction . . . a clinic on the use of fire extinguishers. Her friendliness and warmth have been a definite asset to her nursing career. She made the hospital stay of so many patients much brighter by her presence. Fran's plan on missionary work is an important part of her future. She and Dan seem to be iust the ones to do this iob and we wish them the best of luck. I can resist anything but temptation. 6 IILOHYII

ANNE LOUISE WALSH I6 Elm Street Brookline, Massachusetts October 6, 1933 There's only two kinds of people in this world . . . the Irish and those who wish they were. We can't count the times Anne has said this in the' last three years. We'Il always remember how excited she was about her first plane trip when she went to the St. Louis Convention. Anne's sympathetic and understanding person- ality has made her a favorite with all her patients. Her future nursing career looks bright in whatever field she chooses. Will it be pediatrics, Annie? Anne is a true family girl as we all know from the many tales we've heard about the Walsh clan. It will be a happy day when she has a home of her own ringing with the laughter of little children. N., charm and ability. B Annie FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE PLEDGE I solemnly pledge myself before God and in the presence of this assembly to pass my life in purity and to practice my profession faith- fully. I will abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous and will not take or knowingly administer any harmful drug. I will do all in my power to elevate the standards of my profession, and will hold in confidence all personal matters committed to my keeping, and all family affairs coming to my knowledge in the practice of my calling. With loyalty will I endeavor to aid the physician in his work and devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care. She's a favorite, can't you see, with lots of
