lfraplzccy . Miss Barbara Charland was on hand to tell of her newest culinary achievements. She really has come up with some won- derful advancements in that field. Following Barbara came Bette Permatteo, now medical supervisor at The Faulkner. She is kept quite busy between supervising and being mother of twin boys. Half of the fabulous seventeen stood on the stage reminisc- ing and getting acquainted again. The wonders of the Class of 1956 had traveled far and wide. Coming all the way from Alaska, by dog sled, was Ardell Shattuck, now a medical missionary in the land of the Eskimos. She told of the vast opportunities and openings in this field of nursing. Miss Katty O'Donnell came up from Connecticut where she is a part time nurse in a distinguished boys school. The other part of the time, Kathy spends bringing up a family and keeping up a beautiful home. Representing the mental aspect of nursing, came Miss Mary Lee Seate, now chairman of the mental health program in Illinois. From upper New York state came Natalie Roberts who told us of her experiences as a camp nurse in a trailer park. Coming to join the festivities from Brazil was Mary Matti- moe, wife of a Chinese plastic surgeon and Elizabeth Hewitt, now director of the World Health Organization. Pat Borges spoke to us of her travels as a Navy nurse. The service holds many opportunities for all of us and Roseann Mecagni, still bouncing with Faulkner enthusiasm, will vouch for this. The last of the class to speak. to us was Stephanie Muirhead, now first aid nurse for the city of Boston. A marvelous time was had by all and it certainly was an evening to remember through the coming years. mmm ,A 'Q EAU ,li HER 'sf so P C -'yt 7-'59 if X 0 ' , X f itll ' f l mg E .
