ITH a common interest at heart, the members of the Class of l939 came from neighboring and distant states to the Henry Ford Hospital School of Nursing and Hygiene in September of this year. Their youthful eagerness and spirited determination were displayed from their first friendly greetings of classmates through the whole year of study and play. The members of the class quickly entered into the spirit of the school, and have enthusiastically participated in the many club and sport activities which the social program offers. The French Doll Shoppe, which attracted such favorable attention at the Alumnae Bazaar in October, was constructed and conducted by the girls of the class. They were represented in the Dra- matics Club work and on the Sonah staff. Tennis, swimming and badminton tournaments drew aspirants from the first-year ranks, and the '39 basketball team was the class pride. On the more social side of the school program they were no less well represented. Thursday afternoon teas were made more delightful through the efforts of the members of the class, and their first dance, the April Spring Formal Hop was a well-planned successful affair. The girls hope they can carry on as successfully in the next two years, and look forward to assuming greater responsibilities. The class officers for the year were: Ruth Hutzley, President, Merrice Hoppe, Vice Presidentg Frances C-lass, Secretary and Treasurer. ...27..

Jedlinska HE second year classl With the first year having passed so swiftly that only its memories remain, our training is well on its way. Now we too can say, When I was in the O.R.. or, Wait till you go through the clinics. Remember the first year? That week in September when we were ad- justing ourselves to our new environment-everyone eager to begin-every- one excited about classes? Then finals that seemed to come to soon? All of us keeping up bold fronts but feeling jittery and scared under the air of gayety and experience? At the end of the first ten weeks, classes in actual nursing! ln the midst of all this, Christmas hustling along, with caroling in the hospital-going home-the excitement of that trip for those of us who hadn't been home since September! Then, the momentous occasion we'd been anticipating so eagerly-all of us in complete uniforms, with Miss Moran presenting our capsl That was the grand climax of our early months of preparation. Each heart knew a thrill never felt before. Then. of course, floor duty began, and with it strain and excitement, and, incidentally, sore feet after the first complete eight hour days. With spring came the Clee Club Concert, teas, the Prom, Commence- ment! Watching the happy graduates take their pledge, we were proud to feel that we were following in their footsteps-that some day soon it would be our class standing there repeating the inspiring words of Florence Night- ingale. So on we go! Good luck, classmates! 126-
