Hlass flisfrfry At two p. m. on a bright Indian summer afternoon of 1955, the first member of the future 1958 grad uating class of Faulkner Hospital School of Nursing timidly set foot inside the door of Chapin House and received a cordial greeting from Mrs. Ruth Cruise, Residence Director.

Our one regret is that we could not have known them longer. We also remember with nostalgia the first birthday party we ever threw in honor of one of our most popular members, Muriel Lowther Bodwell. We all gathered quietly in her room while Fran Mooney de-
