Class Will WE,-THE CLASS OF l9l9, being of sound mind, having arrived at the close of this Ctraining-schoolj life, are now ready to depart to realms unknown. THEREFORE, as a result of these accomplishments, we do herein declare this to be our last will and testament. . FIRST: We appoint DR. JOHN B. DEAVER as our Executor and ask him to see, first of all, that we get a Hall of Fame, as a resting place. SECOND: We having been classed as the brightest, the most original, and most dignihed Seniors ever graduated at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, it has been one of our greatest desires to bequeath some of our wisdom and dignity to the under- graduates of this institution. So we leave our insatiable thirst for knowledge, our perfect decorum, and our matchless adaptability, in the hands of the Epgecutor to dispose of as hetsees fit to the afore-mentioned undergraduates. .To our Superintendent, Miss Smith, we bequeath eighteen Head Nurses and twenty-four Special Nurses, and do herewith advise our Executor to hasten the completion of the new surgical building in all of its departments, so that our Superintendent will not be encumbered with this enormous legacy. To Miss Snyder, our Directress, we bequeath a new oriental rug for her office, to take the place of the old one, which we as a class have worn threadbare. To Miss Stephenson, our Instructress, we bequeath the northeast corner room, second floor, of the new surgical building to be used as a classroom. Although the old classroom held for us many pleasant hours during our training, yet this new classroom will have its advantages for the classes to follow, it being well equipped, well lighted, well ventilated, and remote from the under- drainage. .L , ' .To the Juniors we bequeath all Senior privileges, namely, exemption from all rules of the Institution. Note: This privilege will permit you--CU To go out without a hat in the summertime. C25 A twelve o'clock pass once a week. C35 'To go out with students and residents ad libitum. Q45 To have breakfast served in your room Sunday morning. I I To the Residents we leave memories of stolen pleasures. E IN WITNESS WHEREOF we have signed, sealed, published and declared this instrument as our last will and testament on this lst da-yof May, 1919. , A fSign.edj THE CLASS OF 1919.

A Rare Escapade One DREHER day, a WELCH PRINCE, who was a GAYMAN, accompanied by a ZIMMERMAN and a CRISSIWAN, also by his two sons, NEL and I-IEW, went to DEL-CAMP, MAINE, to HUNT. Beyond the WINGATE at the ELWELL, they saw a HART-LEY BOBB up. If you are WISE, said their LEADER, Uyou will let that creature alone. Whereupon he was greeted with cries of 'TETE! You're a CAD-Y! UNIX-ON that! ' f'Tell it to SWEENEYV' , 'tThis party's G-OFF! cried the PRINCE in a rage. With a R-OATH, he seized one B-ROCK after the other, and hurling them at his scoffers, threw them into the MCAGUJIRE, soiling their NEVV- LINen. '4HaI you can go to your TAYLCR. I've had enough of this STOFF-LET me hereafter live in solitude. I'll take my horse to a MESSER-SCHMIDT where I KIN-SELL-A. Then I'll go to ROGERS on the B SL M and there make my future home. He' rode away in a HUEF-ORD. A MARTIN and C-LARK sang on undisturbed. A ' This story is Verified by the MUNRO doctrine. sg 87

A Pupil Nurse The world grows better, year by year, Because some nurse, in her little sphere, Puts on her apron and smiles and sings And keeps on doing the same old things Taking the temps, giving the pills To remedy mankind's numberless ills, Feeding the baby, answering the bells, Being polite, with a heart that rebels, Longing for home, and all the while Wearing the same old professional smile Blessing the new-born babe's Hrst breath Closing the eyes that are still in death, Taking the blame for others' mistakes, Oh dear! what a lot of patience it takes! Going off duty at seven o'clock, Tired, discouraged, just ready to drop, But called back to Special7' at seven-Hfteen With woe in her heart, but it must not be seen Morning and evening, noon and night, ust doin it over and ho in it's ri ht. 3 , P 8 8 When we lay down our caps and cross the bar O Lord, will you give us just one little star To wear in our crown, with the uniform new In that City above, where the Head Nurse is You?
