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.

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
