Class History IBY B. M. og We came, we saw, we are conquered. Yes, we the Class of l9l8, of the -University Hospital. Let us go back for a few minutes, and remember ourselves in our early days., VVe came down from that little town up the State, from Reading, from Ashland, from Curwenfsville, Berwick, Chester County, then a few from other states, from the Empire State, Maryland, little Delaware contributed Happy Day, from across the seas, from Scotland, Belgium and Germany, came other members of the class. R Despite that lumpy feeling in our throats, and the watery solution that would persist in irrigating our eyes, at the thought atwhat we had left behind, and that dread fear of the un- known- that we were pitching into, despite 'all this, I say, there was a lump on the northwest side of our heads. I-Iadn't every- body been lovely before we left? They had given farewell dinners, parties and gifts. They had shaken their heads, know- ingly, and said, She will make a good nurse, all right. You knew the community would miss you, but then it was your duty to have a career. You would not admit it for worlds, but you hadbeen reading K, i and you thought there wouldbe some romance around the corner. t After seeing Miss Snyder in the Board Room, and receivin-g our Book of Rules, we were escorted to the Maternity Dormi- tories, and landed in lVIiss Keesey's oflice. She, in turn, took us to the third floor, to the big room, or to one of the small rooms. We dressed up 'in sober little probation dress, pinned on our cap, powdered our nose, cultivated a sweet smile, and decided we did look rather professional after all. If it were before 3 P.M., we went on duty, if not, after making the ac- quaintance of our room-mates, and partaking of dinner, we went to bed. ' 46 Q
