From this and the family history, which we were asked to submit, a series of tables and with it brought a fully developed taste for turkey and other goodies. The Y. W. C. A. group arranged were compiled which meant something to Dr. Menagh. The basketball season opened about this time and a great many enthusiasts turned out. The first game was Novemf ber 17, between the Y. W. and the Assof ciation. It was a very peppy game and won by the Association twentyffive to twenty. The Thanksgiving spirit again per' meated the home and at the suggestion of the Y. W. baskets were prepared for needy families. On November 30, Miss Cora Simpson Cwho has been Superintendent of Nurses with the Mission Board in China for nine' teen yearsj gave a very interesting talk. It was doubtful for a few days if China would be large enough to accommodate Iourneying from the nurses' home one bright ilay the student nurses were taken on a tour of inspection through the Henry Ford Flour Mills at Dearborn, Mich. The picture shows the grain elevators in the left foreground and the mill at the right background where the marhinery takes care of all of the wheat from which the bread is made that is consumed by us. baskets for needy families, and these were delivered by the girls who prepared them. With the preparation for Christmas again came the thought of others, shown by the preparation of more baskets for some very needy families. These families were recommended by the Visiting Nurses' Association. Then, on Christ' mas eve came our Home party in the lounge. The Night before Christmas was dramatized and Santa made his ape pearance for a few minutes to exchange Christmas greetings. Candy canes and apples entertained the crowd. The Glee Club sang carols through the hospital and everyone was prepared for a happier and more cheerful Christmas. This, however, did not mark the end of festivities for on Front view of the Service Building taken from above the Hamilton passage.

This fleet of trucks with its small army of workmen made the court between the nurses' home antl adjacent building seem almost miraculous in its development. The hard-packetl tlirt floor became a green and velvety lawn in a -few short days. The north wing of the nurses' home is seen in the background and the Education Building is in the right foreground. With another new class to get acquainted with it was evident something must be done so on October 7 a mixer was held in the Auditorium to which everyone came dressed in infant's attire. Being very informal every' one found herself having a hilarious time. Prizes were awarded the best dressed inf The Y. W. C. A. on August 20 sent their candidate, Eleanor Portwood, to the Conference at Lake Geneva, Wis. The conf ference lasted about ten days and many helpful suggestions were brought back. Another new class of Probs arrived on September 21 and were put through the customary initiation and on the 23rd the Y. W. gave a tea and dance to welcome them. There comes an end to every good thing and on September 24 everyone returned from vacations. Trips were compared and good times talked over and the halls be' came more natural again. With the return to work came the introduction of new classes. Dr. Garretsoifs lectures began October 4 in 'LEye, Ear, Nose and Throat Diseases.

-rv ' ll- ' ' ' SONAH-27 I . UH , December 28 the holiday dance was held in the auditorium. After a very brief intermission in studies classes became more frequent and pronounced. Dr. Menagh concluded his program on December 31 with an examination and on January 7 Dr. Heldt began a course in Psychiatric Nursing, accompanied by Dr. Peabody on alternate days in Orthof pedic Nursing. As classes increased, thoughts of gradu- ation and future employment began to be topics of conversation. On january 28 we celebrated our second anniversary with a party, assisted by the juniors. Dinner was served at 6 P. M. and a glimpse of the future was portrayed by members of the class. One of the features of the evening was a ishop, skip and jumpw by the Belles with a ring. The next day we became members of the Graduating Glass and the probies got their caps. This was just another stepf ping stone toward graduation. The entire effort of the class and espef cially of Lyndell was now being centered on our annual which began attracting some attention of outsiders. The next question was one of finances. On Febf ruary 19 the Graduating Class gave a card party in the lounge. Borrowed tables helped to make a very attractive Salon and the funds, Hftyfthree dollars and ten cents, became the foundation of the annual fund. The class pins which had been discussed and ordered began to arrive on the 22nd, The interfclass swimming meet was held on March 7 and was won by the Graduating Class. The Mzlrian Bland Trophy was awarded the winning class. Fans from the respective classes were very attractively represented and a short exhif bition was given by Miss Bland. March 8 we had our first touch of Spring Fever-made you think of 'LState Board. In connection with the Red Cross mem' bership drive, Student nurses from several hospitals in the city gave a pageant in our auditorium. March 12 being the birthday of Jane Delano, the Pageant was presented in commemoration of her and her won' derful spirit of service. Miss Jordan of the Bonstelle Playhouse directed the girls and Prof. Morse supervised the chorus. In the Spring a student's fancy turns to State Boards and Miss Georges symf pathy brought about our Tuesday night quiz classes. Everyone, including Miss George, agreed we needed one. The Annual being the center of interest of the class and the question of finance still more vital, it was decided something should be done. The movie on March 31 helped financially about one hundred dolf lars. Harold Lloyd in L'For Heavens Sake amused a full house and additional attractions were presented by members of all classes. Approaching graduation so long def sired brings an end to the fellowship we have enjoyed during out short period of training. Days and weeks of good hard work, if mixed with sympathy of a fellow student, makes life really worth living and the future is filled with bright and shining stars for all of us though each is looking toward a different one. Life may separate us now, but circumf stances will cross our paths again. ELLA CLBLAND. Qkfgtifi 'ri gg - S t
