The          first          few          weeks          were          spent          getting          acquainted          with          each          other          and          the         city          of          Des          Moines.          Many          hours          were          spent          in          orientation          into          a          school          of         nursing          by          our          professional          director,          Miss          Freden.          Then          came          the          classes,         and          there          were          many,          and          the          study          hours          at          night,          housemothers          peeking         {          around          the          door          to          see          if          we          were          alone          and          studying.          Finally,          from          nine          to         ten          o'clock          would          come          our          hour          of          freedom          and          the          parties          and          gaiety--then         back          to          our          rooms          and          to          bed          for          our          much          needed          rest,          At          Grand          View          Col-         lege,          after          the          long          walk          (or          hitch-hiking),          we          learned          the          anatomy          of          the         human          as          well          as          the          cat.

At          the          hospital          classes          we          were          learning          the          basic          prin-         ciples          of          nursing          under          Miss          Osterlund          and          Mrs.          Boehm.

Mrs.          Chase          proved          to          be          one          of          our          best          friends,          and          we          had          to         replace          the          original          with          a          new          and          fancier          one.          That          first          year          was          a          com-         bination          of          homesickness,          studying,          praying          we          wouldn't          fail,          and          parties         to          lighten          the          burdens          we          found          confronting          us.          On          May          29,          1953,          came          a         day          we          had          long          dreamed          about.          With          candles          in          hand          and          the          Florence         Nightingalé          Pledge          firm          in          our          minds-          we          hoped-          we          received          our          long-         coveted          caps          from          our           big          'sisters.'!         After          an          all          too          short          vacation          we          began          our          junior          year          and          what          is         termed          ''the          junior          slump.''          We          learned          what          splits          were,          and          I'm          sure          no         one          will          forget          how          to          give          p.m.          cares.          Between          working          hours          we          dashed         off          to          class          and          attempted          to          absorb          all          the          knowledge          the          doctors          and          nurses         could          impart.          One          of          our          classes          was          at          Mercy          Hospital          and          after          pounding         corridors          all          morning,          the          hill          looked          long          and          steep.          This          was          the          year          we         began          departments          and          learned          what          an          Allis          was,          how          to          give          a          baby          bath,         and          the          noisy          clatter          of          D.K.          For          three          months          at          Knoxville          we          walked         through          tunnels,          jingling          our          keys,          and          learned          what          a          schizophrenic          was         and          how          to          establish          rapport.          Here          many          of          us          not          only          learned          to          care          for         psychiatric          patients,          but          also          became          more          mature          and          learned          that          life         was          a          complex          thing          that          gave          back          only          what          you          put          into          it.         Then          we          were          seniors!          This          was          the          climax          of          our          education          and          we         began          taking          things          more          seriously          in          preparation          for          State          Boards          and          the         responsibilities          of          the          graduate.          Our          class          became          a          more          closely          knit         unit,          and          plans          began          forming          for          our          future.          Wedding          plans          were          made          by         many,          Deloria          Jacobson          and          Arloene          Yunglas          taking          the          lead.          Remember         the          nights          we          would          sit          up          late          having          serious          discussions          or          laughing          hilar          -         iously          until          Mother          Hough          sent          us          to          our          rooms.          Senior          classes          began,          and         a          last          minute          flurry          of          book          reports          and          care          studies          were          seen          on          desks,         and          we          were          busy          tying          up          the          loose          ends.          Graduation          night          came          at          last         and          with          the          pride          and          happiness          in          being          a          graduate          nurse          came          the          tears         of          parting.          Three          years          of          work,          worry,          laughter,          and          comradeship          made         nurse's          training          at          ILH          a          time          to          be          long          remembered.
