o N H A Senior Dedication Two years and one month ago, there gathered together in this School of Nursing and Hygiene a new Probie Class, conceived in ideas of service and helpfulness toward our fellow men. Now we are engaged in duty, testing whether the foundation acquired in labs, and classrooms will yet stay with us in our struggles. We are met in a common cause, to ease the pain and restore the health of those entrusted to our care. We hereby resolve that our efforts to this end will not be in vain. Now as upperclassmen, we have the opportunity to attain that full measure of devotion or our early dreams, and we hope that finally as graduates this striving towards our highest ideals will never perish from our hearts. R. CoNNELL,J. Ramsay Class Officers Mary Miskimen President Myrtle Yohn Vice-President Mary Miskimen Rosalind Schall Secretary Bertha Alvord Treasurer Senior Class History Sailing, sailing, over a singing sea, Many a stormy wind shall blow ' Ere graduates we shall be. It was a long stiff wind that blew us to Cap Day, June 4, 1930, and started us onward to the choppy waters of Floor Duty. The summer breezes wafted us gently toward furlough time. In January the icy floes found our crew at their Sailor Banquet, with one third of the journey past. The tides of March brought the end of Basketball with our ship blowing in a close second, which position we maintained during the Baseball season, while Tennis saw us ploughing through ahead. Again a month on home waters, after which our crew was reunited, full of vigor and enthusiasm, ready to meet whatever winds might blow. [58]

Betty Winters, Ruth Connell MOON MAGIC I paused on the bridge at midnight, Entranced in this last still hour. The silver moon of an early June Shone on foliage all a-flower. It looked like a fairy garden Or a wood nymph ' s bosky dell. Where brownies dance, or elves, per- chance. Are caught in a witch ' s spell. All the shadows stirred in rhythm, As the trees and bushes played. Marched to and fro — it seemed as tho To obey some sceptre swayed. This magic lasts but a moment; The noise of the city ' s no friend ; And after work will hunger shirk? Cafeteria wins in the end. Jean Ramsay [60]
