To convey to you — here in this small space — the per- sonal appreciation of each member of the class, would be impossible; for you were so much more than a director. You have been the bulwark of our class, the silent and unheralded influence behind our success. And so we say, Thank you, Miss Cunningham, for: the wise counseling that has been so valuable to us; the reprimanding which we know was necessary; supporting our activities wholeheartedly; your interest not only in the class as a whole, but also in each individual member; the encouragement you gave us as our road grew difficult; the boundless patience and understanding, of which only you are capable; carrying the burden of our worries; and, above all, for being such a wonderful person in so many wonderful ways. MISS MARTHA CUNNINGHAM, R.N., B.S. Director of Nurses TO THE PARENTS Words are inadequate when this oppor- tunity arises to thank you publicly . . . many times we have shown you our thanks awk- wardly by endeavoring to be as you could have us; yet, none of our achievements seemed sufficient for the faithfulness, enduring en- couragement, and never ending confidence you have had in us. Sometimes days seemed long and discouraging, but knowing you were at home wanting us to succeed, gave us the inspiration to strive harder to obtain our goal. We have been complimented and criti- cized by others; but, your compliments and criticisms made the lasting impressions. There is nothing more we can do now but say, Thank you, Parents, for without your love, faith, and hope nothing could have been accomplished. i ' II Preclinical ■ mn - J Seated: A.

How can we say thank you for the kindness, sincere interest and conscientious guidance you have shown and given us? To say you have taught us, advised us in regard to our professional re- sponsibilities, social endeavors, and per- sonal difficulties, and guided us with wisdom and understanding cannot be- gin to encompass all you have done. However, this is what we humbly of- fer, along with our sincere thanks and appreciation to you — our class advisors. Yours has been a great contribution of time and effort and we hope we have fulfilled your expectation rather than to have been a disappointment to you. Well! well— How about that?

TO THE HOSPITAL STAFF: The road on which we gazed blindly three years ago, paved with tears and joy, has been traveled. It was a difficult one with gravel-stones of un- known medical terms, instruments, and procedures constantly halting our progress as we attempted to travel further. However, there was always some person, or persons, willing to travel before or beside us, to guide us along this pathway. These persons were our hospital staff — willing, patient, and encouraging — leading us onward. To you go the most sincere thanks of the Class of 1955. Without you we could not have entered the gate- way at the end of this road — the gateway to a future as graduate nurses of Hahnemann Hospital. timers Seated: P. Zmijewski, L. Romig, A.

We are eternally grateful for the examples of our predecessors. They never let us down — whether in the far parts of the world — Dien- bien-phu, French Indo China, or in our own communities, quietly doing the job so urgent- ly needed. They are our teachers, our counse- lors, friends, and supporters. Not all of us can become Florence Nightingales, but we all as- pire to practice our profession faithfully, and to devote ourselves to humanity. I ■ Seniors Underclassmen FRESHMEN— B. Eberly, M.
