Her parents being Ctttliolics, Theln1a's early schooling was secured in the Catholic school of her home town. She later pursued her studies at Beechwood and llethel Academies. She commenced the nurses' tt.vltt'st' at Madison Rural Sani- tarium in sunny Tennesse, but she is glad she could complete her course at Hinsdale for she has alwavs thought it a lovely place. Front the smallest state coines the smallest girl. Miss Fvelina Chabot from Rhode Island. She started her nurses' career when a little girl, by establishing a free-for-all vaccination station, where vaccinations were administered to her play- mates by means of a sharp piece of tin, bay rum and shampoo. Her early education was secured in a French Catholic convent. A canvasser First brought the truth for this time to her door and for a number of years Evelina followed the same profession Her ability as a colportenr has been demonstrated by her securing: more subs to The Fl1mr0.rc0fft' than any girl in the senior class. Being a quiet, calm, poised and sedate woman, Lillian Hansen-Eyestone evidently did not have very many thrilling episodes during her youthful days. At least she has not revealed any such to her classmates, but says she grew up fearlessly. Eleven years were spent in educational work but her longing to help the sick and suffering was never satisfied until she came to Hinsdale. Mildred Flosscene Kennedy was born in Egypt, Illinois in the year 1902 and every year April I2 comes around she becomes one year older. At a very tender age, she went to live with her grandmother. She found great enjoyment in stealing away to the cellar and drinking, the cream off the crocks of milk placed there. Mil- dred is a good cook and loves to sit at the feet of Chef Malernee and profit by his long and varied experience. She spent some time at Fox River Academy befor. coming to Hinsdale. Her career as a student nurse has been very successful and we bespeak for Mildred a bright future. Last, but by no means least, comes John Turley Headrick, Ir., who hails fron- the golden state, the land of sunshine, movies and real-estate agents. Well, says he, tell all the folks that if they knew all about me, they would know more about me than I know about myself, and anyway most of them know too much already. See you in Los Angeles, says hlohn. Not wishing to weary the reader by recalling facts of a rather uneventful life, the writer will say that he was born, lived, yes and still lives and hopes to continue to do so for some time to come.
