CLASS PROPHEC Y We, the class of 1957 of the Faulkner Hospital School of Nursing, do make this our prophecy and may it be held as such. The year is 1961, four years have passed since we all stood together for the last time receiving our diplomas and about to go our separate ways. The time has come to inquire as to the happenings and whereabouts of my classmates. My first stop -was at New York at the Syracuse Hospital where I found Miss Elizabeth Adshead as Principal of the School of Nursing. By her position it was evident that Miss Adshead had come a long, long way since graduation. It was here that I learned of the former Miss Beverly Prescott. It seems that Miss Prescott and her husband run a farm in Penn. They h.ave made their farm the headquarters for the Animal Rescue League. Here they have Be Kind to Animal Week, every day. My next stop was at Conn. where I found myself at the doorway of one of the wealthiest homes there, which is now the happy abode of the one-time Miss Patricia Jenner, now the wife of one of the nation's greatest surgeons. She informed me that several of my classmates were in the Boston area so I made that my next stop. Stopping at Faulkner, I found that Miss Gail Perchway, noted for her infallible love of night float duty, was now official night float with two meager reliefs to her credit. It was while talking to Miss Mary Ewins, now Medical Supervisor and oc- casional relief float, that I learned of the exploits of Miss Kay Doherty, who has always been so enthralled with medicine and its attributes particularly on B Medical. Miss Doherty was now in her fourth year of Pre-Med School at B.U. My next stop was at B.L.I. where I found Miss Bethy johnson heading the O.B.S. department. Oh, how Miss johnson loved those babies! The next destination was the home of Miss Mary Nevers in Bellingham, now the wife of an Army man. Nursing as a preparation for marriage was certainly true I discovered, as I met each of her four children. It was she who informed me of the whereabouts of Miss Joanne O'Day now doing duty in the far off Islands of Samoa and Guam. I was then off to Wellesley and found myself
