Little did we realize how much we had to learn in so few months. In our innocence we had no knowledge of the cats we had to disect, the early, ''early morning classes, the study (?) hours or those horrifying first hours of actual floor duty. It was a.long, hard grind, with many a tear shed in the depths of discouragement yet the time has finally come when we can call ourselves Freshmen instead of Pre-clinicals. On April 17, 1955, we donned stiffly starched bibs over our ''Probie blues and received our long awaited caps in an impressive ceremony at First Lutheran Church, Along with our hard work this year we have had a lot of fun. About the first opportunity we had to work together was the plan- ning for our Valentine party which proved to be a big success. We know we have much to learn and many good times ahead of us. During our next two years of training our class will strive to live up to the standards set by previous classes of Iowa Lutheran Hospital.
