We are grateful for those who guided our footsteps each day in order that we faenemacnieve our goal. Three years out of the lives of twenty-three girls have been spent working and playing together. The purpose of the work was to mold young lives into mature, capable nurses while the play relieved some of the tension and tiredness of eight hours of duty. This book tells of our life, Our associates, and our friends. It tells of the places we have been, the ex- periences that we have had, and of all we have strived to be. It is with pride that we present the LIGHTED LAMP of 1959. IN MEMORIAM DRVeRU Weer taped Dr. J. W. Slate, the father of Dr. J. E. Slate and Dr. M. L.
