Elass We, the Class of 1956 of the Faulkner Hospital School of Nursing, being of sound mind and body do hereby declare our last will and testament. To The Faulkner we leave, proud to say, I am a Faulkner graduate. To Miss Hennik we leave our admiration and respect of the high standards which she has set for us. To Miss Norton we leave our sincerest thanks for all she has done for us. To the Faculty we leave with our gratitude for seeing us through. To our parents we leave our first pay check. To the supervisors we leave a pair of roller skates and a bottle of patience pills. To Dr. Stein we leave all our sore throats and headaches with thanks for curing us. To Miss Allen we leave a new student infirmary. To the graduates we leave the undergraduates to take our place. To the students we leave saying, Hold your head up high. To the doctors, residents, and medical students we leave with all the knowledge you have so earnestly tried to instill in us. To Mrs. Cruise we leave with the hope that we haven't caused too many gray hairs. To the maids we leave with our overflowing ash trays and waste paper baskets. To the Faulkner Aid we leave with our appreciation for the Friday afternoons spent at the Symphony. Patricia Borges leaves her quiet, peaceful manner to Patricia Coony and Barbara Lord.

Hzsfvry The summer was here and as we feared night duty was assigned to us Some in the O.R. then started, others on vacations departed, work relief the rest of us must Remember the days on Chapin House roof, the sunburns and tans that we sought Or the cool summer evening we'd sit up there and sing, drink punch, eat crackers, or talk September was coming, we were all back together, and mighty glad of it too For our wing bands were placed on our caps with care, they made us a bit prouder 'tis true But, a change had been made, we were no longer probes who were lower than a worm For the new class had entered, around them attention centered, at initiation we tried to be stern Classes again we started quite soon, Orthopedics, First Aid, and O.B. We studied for finals and passed them all too, in Gyn., E.N.T. and V.D. A dance, we decided, was just the thing to liven up the fall To Finstien's Party House we went, and believe me we all had a ball Card parties and food sales began to blossom to bring our class some money There are memories sad and memories bright but most of them are funny Remember Moskos and her cigar and Rosie pushing commodes down the hall? Nat and the punch bowl, the Ajax shampoos. These things we'll treasure most of all Again it was March and our class must soon part for Worcester C.H. and Haynes Cleaning our closets, packing our clothes, what to do with this junk, racked our brains Now write every week, call when you're home, and come to Student meetings We said goodbye with smiles and sighs, inside our hearts were beating Worcester was first for some of us with its keys, locked doors, and Big Ben Children's was next, divided dosages and charts. We worked hard but those kids kind of crept into our hearts To Haynes, another challenge to conquer, senior bands we now wore, underclassmen no longer February our senior year half over, we were together again with lots of gossip to cover Night duty, relief, relief and more nights But one consolation, Graduation in sight Yearbooks, uniforms, and pay those back dues It takes work, we found out, to change to whites from those blues Our prom, Baccalaureate, Banquet, and then . . . We'll stand all in white together again For the last time? Well, maybe, but we'll always remember Our graduation on the twelfth of September.
