QV :rr XX 1: Q - 1, s W, GEEK ' .E- . i, ,A .r s- r - 'GW 66444 The official beginning of the class of '57 was Tuesday, September 7, 1954, but long before this the day was antic- ipated with eagerness by the 30 entering Probies . Our first day was filled with seeing new things, meeting many people and a wonderful welcoming party that night. We soon were able to find our way around and before we knew it, we were in full swing-of-things at Toledo University. Every Monday night, gym classes at Turners Club were offered for those interested fand everybody waslj Our first class meeting was held September 27, with the purpose ofelecting class officers, The results were as follows: Preside nt, Lois Stewartg Vice President, Peggy Manevalg Secretary, Paula Pollardg Treasurer, Myrna Rau. Miss Bonnie Rice was elec te d to be our advisor for our three years in training. Towards the latter part of October, on a very rainy night, you might have seen 30 oddly dressed girls scrubbing the side- walk in front of the nurse's home. This was a small part of the initiation the Juniors had prepared for us. Among other things we had mock operations and were practically covered with Metaphen. The days flew on, and before we knew it, Christmas was upon us. Our class decided to have a Christmas party on December 16, before we left on our 2-week vacations. In- stead of exchanging presents, we all brought a small toy and gave it to the Lutheran 0rphan's Home, The committee did a wonderful job of decorating and planning refreshments and a good tim e was had by all. Following our party, we went down to Highland and exchanged presents with our big sisters. With the new year came a change for us--the end of T.,U. and the beginning of every day work in the hospital, as well as new classes. We had to get on the wagon of money-making projects too, so we sponsored a candy sale and started saving tax stamps. All in all we feel we've had a happy and successful year in studying to become good nurses. pn -wav? 'T as T. Q, sw E 2 !-......., 'F'
