On the 20th of February, our Laboraf tories opened for use, and we all filed in to search for the wee microforganisms we were giving our lives to combat. Joy unbounded! February 24, our new dining room was completed and wasn't it nice? So handy, too. Physical examinations next came in vogue. With Dr. Kendall officiating we were carefully checked for defects in architecture and structure. Some remodf eling was advised, but classes never once abated.

nll- s soNAH-27 .. i, History of Class of 1927 N JANUARY 28, 1925, Caccording to statistics the coldest day of the yearj a group of ninetyfthree girls arrived at Our Home. Many were the impressions made on arriving-the first students in a new school- but friends were quickly made and our teaching supervisors were ever ready to befriend a lonesome girl. The home, which was not yet completed, had to be reached by way of the Hamilton Entrance and great was the anticipation in helping and seeing it beautified. Sixfthirty A. M. was rising hour and our buzzers gayly reminded us, and the process of waking, dressing, cleaning and eating in threefquarters of an hour- was originated.

With teaching supervisors as guides we made a tour of the hospital and other build' ings getting our first glimpses of life as we were to live it. On February 2, probation proper began with classes. Ten dollars and sixtyfiive cents worth of books were purchased to aid in enlarging our minds. One early A. M., the air became thick with smoke and the cry Fire! Fire! awakf ened us from a delightful slumber. From every door protruded a head, which was quickly withdrawn and as quickly emerged again followed by a bathrobed figure carrying six new uniforms which by no means should perish. The new elevator had responded to the strenuous usage of the past few weeks and caught on lire. Before the fire department arrived, however, it was safely under control and we retired for another halffhour before our buzzers should summon us again. February 9 marked another eventful day in our career. Everyone boarded the Excavations ready for the beginning oy' construction of the Clara Breaking ground for Education Building and Clara Ford Nurses' Ford Nurses' Home and Education Building, showing the court Home.

The day was balmy and seventyfthree girls with a day off can have a lot of fun. We did! With the onset of summer came the shutfin feeling and the picnic appetite. On June 5 everyone found the way to a secluded spot on Belle Isle fif such there bej and enjoyed a few hours under the trees. A delicious lunch, including a barrel of lemonade, had been prepared by our chefs, and we decided to have another picnic soon.
