Bell IITl'Il1ETID IISSIIGIIITIIIII HE membership of the Athletic Association includes every student of the Henry Ford Hospital School of Nursing and Hygiene. Sports. parties, competitive games and tournaments are planned by the or- ganization. There are numerous activities for the student to enioy during her leisure as well as an opportunity to test her skill against that of others in competitive sports. The swimming pool is one of our finest facilities. Here those who like swimming may spend many hours of enjoyment. On March ninth, a swimming exhibition was presented, and on April l3, the annual lnterclass Swimmers meet. lnterclass basketball is another of the winter activities. ln Janu- ary a tournament was held, and the second year class emerged victorious. ln February a few games were played with outside teams. Tennis is a sport which many of our students enjoy. We have courts which are an inspiration to every tennis player. An annual school tournament is held at the close of the season. Badminton is a popular game with the students, and a tourna- ment is also held in this sport to make the season more exciting, ln the spring, those who prefer archery may so indulge. Bi- cycling parties, weiner roasts and hikes are also arranged for the enjoyment of all. In the game room there is a ping pong table which many use. ln February, the Athletic Association sponsored a Sports Nite , for all students and their friends. Ping pong, riflery, badminton, bridge, dancing and games, all going at once in different spots in the home was something different in the way of a social event. Those who participated in this evening found it hard to do everything at once, but most managed to drift around and take a turn at each feature. The association gave a dance in March. 'A goodly crowd was there' and everyone seemed to enjoy himself. The members of the Athletic Association work hard to plan sports and events, but the Executive board would like to say 'Hats off' to Miss Jean Botsford, the friend and advisor who helps the students to enjoy and to become more adept at the various athletic activities. --44, J 1, t

Parisian, P, Wiley IHIEE IIIJIIB LEE CLUB, one of our greatest prides and ioys, is not only an edu- cational factor in our extra curricular work, but is a true recrea- tion, as well, The accomplishment of these two aims has been mainly through the efforts of our instructor, Charles Frederic Morse. Mr, Morse has the essential faculty of an unlimited amount of patience and understanding, and although we may try it to the nth degree at times, he makes us forget our dreadful day in the O.R., the five deliveries we had in succession, or the crying children on l-4. As it states in the school pamphlet we all received before en- tering training, Cilee Club is truly an emotional outlet. The Glee Club activities culminate in the May concert and re- ception which, in the past, has been a true success. Our friends. families, and faculty members come to enjoy the concert, and the pleasure of meeting at the reception. The club ends its year impres- sively at the graduation exercises, and meets not again until Septem- ber. Christmas time brought us an invitation from the St. Barnabas Ciuild to sing carols at their annual Christmas Service from the choir stalls at St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral. Needless to say, we were thrilled beyond words and the episode was made still more delightful since we were accompanied for the first time in our career of public appearances by a pipe organ. lThe first public appearance was in June of l925l. According to the age old custom, on Christmas Eve we sang carols throughout the hospital, assisted by the graduate nurses' glee club. lt is again almost ln the time of Roses, and in a few weeks the Lure of the Gypsy Trail will probably carry some of us away, but however far we may travel, we shall always remember the fine training and the opportunity for better music appreciation our Clee Club has given us.

Our Alumnae Association is essentially a professional group since all of the members are graduates of the Henry Ford Hospital School of Nursing and Hygiene, who have passed the State Board examinations. Pleasant contacts made during the years in school are carried on in the Alumnae Association meetings which are held once each month during the year from October to May. The combination of profes- sional and social activities provides a necessary balance, and stimu- lates interest in the entire field of nursing as we meet and visit with classmates and friends engaged in different branches of the profes- sion. Delegates are chosen to attend conventions of the nursing or- ganizations to bring back reports and keep us in direct contact with state and national affairs. Every graduate of the school, who is registered in the state, is invited to become a member of the Alumnae Association, which is a requisite for membership in district, state, and national nursing asso- ciations. 4.45i.
