We -T' Q 4-.. EBRUARY the fourth, nineteen hundred and thirty-two is now one and one-half years past but clearly remembered by all of us. I We were thirty-two eager '6probies entering this new life of tragedies and comedies. Due to various incidents we have dwindled now to twenty-two. We have no history yet but are endeavoring to acquire a worthy one before the year i935 comes upon us. Forty-1' our Class of February, 1935 Members: Marian S. Battin Christella M. Campbell Ellen M.

For two years we have studied, worked, and tried to make our- selves fitted for that world outside of the Training School, where, in one more year, we expect to compete with those who have gone before us. We feel that in preparing ourselves we have not forgotten our duties as student nurses but have striven to make the lives of those who have needed us as pleasant and happy as we could. We hope that we have succeeded in keeping upmost in our minds that our patients come first always, and then ourselves. Forty-th ree

Due to the determinations of Miss Melville and personal resignations, our class diminished to 34 mem- bers. It was in February, when the class of '33 adopted us, the first class into the nursing realm, by the reverent candle-light service and recitation of the Florence Nightingale Pledge in unison. This en- deavored to give us all a grim determination to work with diligence and skill for our Training School, hoping to leave a favorable history for ourselves as well as for the school. Forty-tive
