Another little mother, Pauline Carpino Qwho couldn't give up Williams house partiesj is house-mothering in that institution. It may be a tired old world but 'taint half as tired as Glenna Lackard, who is plugging on and on-her goal, to balance the Stutzie James budget. Her eternal question Say, when does the fiscal year begin?,' Some say the fiscal year begins South of the Equator but even Professor Zweinstein will agree with us that it begins South of the Mason-Dixon Line. Could it be the fiscal year that Betty Boothe and Aggie Mysliwiec, not to mention Doris Twombley, have gone South searchin, for- well no-we'll tell you that-it's two-ring time for them! Among those missing are Betty Cole and Peggy Watson who went to California just for a vacation and havenit been seen in these parts since. Q Nancy Hale has collaborated with Middy Treat and Janie Smith and Marge Porter to de- velop the perfect liquid Nylon hose. Well, that is practically perfect only Nan, the realist, can't help putting a run in hers. That ingenious pair of coffee drinkers, Kay Wight and Ruth Weiler, from away back have met the coHee shortage with a newly developed grown-in-your-window-box coffee sensation. 'Ask your grocer for details about ll o'clock coffee. You don't know what to do with spare time? The Busy Bee Bridge Clubu can help you. Ruthie Cox is responsible for it. Of course, they are so busy that a good deal of the responsibility of the club falls on her assistant Sheran Darmoo, famous in her own name for the 'tDarmoo Sys- temn. We've tried it but it requires such complete coordination of mind and body that we leave it to the Bees . Now, what do ye Ken happened to Win Pollard? That's right she didn't go to Alaska with Doss Lucchini and her troup- the best laid schemes o' mice and men . Anyhow, Doss went a-midwifinf in Kentucky and we didn't hear about her again until we picked up the Alaskan Dayv. We find a late leave there means one can stay out a month longer. Why can,t we have nights like that here? Perhaps, Zweinstein can help us there. No doubt, it was the long night business that brought Jeanie MacLeod and Darline Barnett a-galumphing to her. And so, the new or- ganization, The Midwiffenpoofsn is a reality-and growing to nearly international proportion. Their specialty-picnics. Chairman of picnic committee is Jeanie MacLeod who was always good at ubuttering sandwiches for yesterday's picnic. Helene Fidrych has taken Nurse Mary's place in the Kildare movies. The Navy- won out over the Army in the fight for the Jeannette DeForest-Mary Dostal combination. We see them occasionally waving at land lubbers from a port hole on a certain fmil- itary secretj vessel. Here on the home front battling with the tots is Jeanie Wilbur. Those children are eating out of her hand or else-. Anne Petrillo is on her way in the not too distant future to becoming a gyn. supervisor in the new HH wing. And would gyn. be gyn. without Lil Hartman as Dr. Wood's right-hand man. In the O. R., she not only tolerates the barefooted operator-she joins him. Marie Bombaci is that little district nurse we saw in Essex. We hardly knew her in that uniform. You've heard of old South-Jebrew. Then you've heard of Evelyn Holcomb and Charlotte Lane, the missionary nurses who made life safe for the natives. Well, if not safe, they have at least taught the natives how to remain healthy in the jungle. Lois Knapp, Ann Kritz, Sal Kriksciun are those pioneer nurses who started a trailer clinic because they work so well together. Ollie Linton's real thing has now borne fruit, a diamond plus. She makes a charming school nurse. McGrath, Maycock, and Melnick heard so much about skiing and Sweden while bouncing babies in the premature nursery that they have gone abroad to start a rescue ski troup. We wonder who will rescue them. She couldn't be founder but she could carry on and add to the ARC Nursing Service. Of course, you remember Nan Stedman and you will hear about her. You will hear about Vi Tofil some more too. She's making extra-curricular something really EXTRA in HHSN-HHTS to ou! Y The latest thing in Supervisors in this year, 1950-Little D. Wikman. Her domain, CB: Mary Kurzel on CB 4 has devised a labor saving downshute for post-op T and A's. Why can't they shoot them up as fast? '

background a few years back being number one router of Morpheus' intoxicants on third floor Heublein. With the greatest delight we read the singularly illuminating thesis on How to dress your child scientifically in nylon by Hedy Bystrowski, Ph.D. Hedy, just returning from a trip to Ice- land, where she unearthed the material for her timely contribution, says modestly, It was noth- ing. Merrill and Morgan, still practicing poisonous badinage on their apartment mates, pause briefly for professional identification-Margy or Mrs., and Phil Merrill, who would have nothing to do with men, is administratrix of a female escort service headquarters on Prospect Avenue. Back to hospital life, we End that veteran would-be sophisticate Betty Charlton pessi- mistically remarking, There will be no such class as ours again after making a survey of the school for N. L. of N. E. Janet Clark is still waiting for the better half of the Clark expedition to complete a post- grad course at Yale this time. Elsie Lucier is also soap-boxing. It seems it isn't right-the wor1d's all wrong-for nurses to live in two-car garages-tires-shorter working hours-and a plan for protection of patients' false teeth should and nlust by the very righteousness of being achieve its socialistic stand for nursing security. Result-Candidate for oflice in the CSNA-the same E. Lucier. Remember Sue Dasco and Audrey London and their terpsichorean abilities? Both took time out for domestic duties abstract nonentities so to speak-at any rate. The 21 club features a new two women dance team-Andy and Dasco are it! Franklin Roosevelt seemingly eternal is still with us, and would recommend a performance if we were not a democracy. It has been said by some organ of our class that Laverne Corbat finally got to Cleveland, where she is frantically proving the escutcheon of her husband's Mayflower ancestry-so much for American families. Nothing could be conjured up out of the imagination half so full of romance and wild fantastic improbability as the story of Helen Czaja's flower garden on Columbia campus. The dean is campaigning to put Helen on the geranium strewed carpet by nominating her for Done most for Columbia. SEPTEMBER DIVISION NVe of the September division without benefit of aspirations to acquire psychic qualities have had to call in an expert, Dr. Zweinstein Cso called because he is twice as smart as Einsteinj, to help us delve into the somewhat dubious future. The A's have it, in fact any old A above high C will do. We see Ruthie Andreani sing- ing and a'swinging for the lads in uniform, accompanied by-that's right, you guessed it-Doris Christensen who is swingin' on nuthin' for little Jo Boi Calso in the servicel . And don't think Broadway has closed down because of any old war. They are bidding for that threesome and then- some. Yes, we mean the elegant Ingalls Sextet--Shirl Myers, Marion Marcia, Bunny Pawelcik, Flo Murray, and Carry Rubin. They are a top flight group toog but temperamental Marion has to take time out for that yearly trip to Hollywood-the attraction still Mr. Ameche Q Don to those who know himj. And Flossie continues with threats to leave the sextet and come back to WB 2 Nursery if they don't watch out. They still don't know what to watch out for and the sextet continues. To get out of the world of entertainment and into the world of grim reality we see Peg Fay not exactly rushin' around the brush but deinitely deep in the heart of Texas . Wahoo! Hank Heywood has wasted not a moment of these precious years. She is carrying out private research and doing a wonderful work with the sulfa drugs. We should all read her thesis. Also, in the field of research and invention we find Stutzie James bearing out the contention that Big Ben just ain't big enough and when a bigger and better alarm clock is built, she'l1 build it. Said she'd give us a ring when it was Clone. Speaking of rings, the epidemic of diamondites we saw take so many of our members in '42 has brought forth with a crop of more official rings without diamonds. Heading the formidable list of suspectees is Mary Rodvan who is the happy mother of triplets. But, she shouldn't smirk like that, why Esta Catlin has a whole nursery swing school full of tots who learn Boogie Woogie as easily as ABC. Oh, yes, and this Fourty-Fourty QI-iorte-Fortej combination has led to so much confusion in this topsy-turvy old tired world that both Elsie and Rose have up and changed their names, the lucky girls.

Clem Servi has Caesar and a new house with Great big closets. Our idea of heaven-and Clem's too. Shirl Roose is driving a beautiful red convertible between her house and Clem's--purpose, to compute formulae. Edna Snecinski has forsaken all else to become assistant to what rising young dentist? We knew we would find Anna Rudanish singing the blues. And we weren't surprised when Professor Zweinstein's assistant, Herr Tonic, located her in a Back Bayfsonj St. still singing. Singing, singing-that's us. Why, Pearl Wanic has taken Maxine's place in the all girls, choir -And Doroyth LeGeyt, what would CBS do without her and Danny Boyv? Whoops! The sky is falling! The sky is falling! And who is that making a B-line, bathing suit in hand, for the shelter in Barney Building but Henny Penny Hendrickson. Don't be afraid Henny it's only Mary Bergstrom practicing a loop or two in her P-39M Pursuit plane. That P3924 Pursuit took nearly f1ve years to design, but that's us all over-designing women. To Charlotte Martin, goes the credit for the blue prints, though Josephine C Putt Putt j Gangi, our happy little motorist, is due for a slice of recognition for designing the motor. The fame and fwell sometimesj fortune gals they call our members. And what did Ethel Anderson do with her fortune, amassed in double quick time as a result of her best-seller The Top Flighti' or briefly, My Climb but install an elevator in Ingalls! And wasn't it one of our girls who made it possible for mothers to leave their little charges in a nursery-clinic affair, which has clicked beautifully in Hartford? Yes, it was Adelaide Kogut, who always did like to be called Aunt Addie . And then, there is the Mary-Helene Perzanowski fortune to consider, that because these quick-witted girls ingeniously dreamed up the individual for-your-own-par- ticular-type-of-beauty gas mask. You should see the pug-nosed model on us. Viola Economu Qmew not mooj is busy setting up a class-room roll-call system which will help students to identify themselves. We agree there is a crying need for such pioneer workers. Martha Page now has open-house almost constantly at her farm, where she gives not only warm hospitality to members of her community but a comprehensive home nursing course. Mary Jane Pease continues in her status as the cutest one , and we see her extremely pho- togenic self almost every time we open a magazine. Muriel Reed has learned all the finer culinary arts and all her housewifely duties from Chet, who is now writing his masterpiece-a revision or modern version of the Taming of the Shrew - It was a great fight, Mom, but I won! Mrs. Fletcher fnee Natalie Russellj is the busiest little club woman in town, but not too busy to create some of the fetching models we see her wearing. Lois Bussey's power' launch takes her about but plenty come deep sea fishin' time. In her spare time she edits the A.J.N. Doris Roberts is on an extended tour of Europe surveying and surveying for ideas for her little shoppe on Sth Ave. Her latest-the combination lamp shade by night and hat by day, which beats even the Great Dasche for practicability. Emma Sterrett, with that quiet good humor of hers is proving an excellent instructor for the Yale gals-they surely know what's what. Jo Orlando is the toast of art enthusiasts as the modern Mona Lisa. Helen Dash--, our dream on skates has it all over Sonja for dimples and dash! We have it on good authority that Alice Brown is quietly doing settlement work in Hart- ford. We see her in HHSN ofhcially once a year come lecture time. Officially or unofiicially, you are always welcome at the house . Jennie Kaplan has devised several series of when-to-wake-me-up cardsi' for the student night nurses-one series for each phase of the student carrier-That as her offering to posterity. Her actual work is teaching chemistry to nurses in HHSN. Jo Uziemblo would be a career woman, but one career just isn't enough for her, so she has successfully combined nursing with marriage. We would like her recipe. Emma Thomas' Butler experience has held her in good stead as supervisor of a certain nurses' dormitory in a certain city in Conn. Virginia Corey is now raising a new crop of states. Missouri, or Mo for short, is the young- est of the three little ones. Georgia and Nevada are her twins, opposites of course. Norma Cartocci has amiably battled her way along until a few years ago when she met her Waterloo--and incidently, her lord and master. Virginia Geer, Bernice Goodman, and Virginia Garrand now run i'The Three G's , where we are now going for an extremely palatable steak fto us what steak isn'tj. But hold on, before we leave, let's gather up Sophie Zuraw, the best little ender of alphabets fand nursej we know. Y
