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.

Probai'ioner's Impression of Jefferson E were twenty-six crude little probationers entering a new life curious and with a feeling of adventureg much like Alice in Wonder- land who for the first time was to encounter new and untold events. As we viewed the exterior of the buildings we wondered what they held in store for us. Our first impression on entering was that of cleanliness and elliciency. As we passed the immaculate rooms through this huge institution from one floor to another we felt that we would soon be lost in this dense network of halls and stairways. It seemed to us as though everyone was hurrying here and there like a giant ant colony, and like them everyone seemed to know where they were going and what they had to do. There were nurses in still, starched uniforms, apparently automatic hut who proved to be human. Student nurses in pink and white, supervisors, technicians, clietitians, telephone operators, clerks, cook, all who helped to make up The ,letlersonfi XVe were awed hy the rules, regulations, orders, schedules, reports and classes--all as intricate as a giant printing press, yet with it all synchronized and tempered with a spirit of cooperation and oiled with an understanding of comradeship, a prevailing spirit of friendli- ness, helpfulness and encouragement. ln all we could sec the inside of this great institution founded for the sole purpose of relieving sufleringg a corporation of humans devoted to healing and curing their fellowmen, always striving to make this world a better place in which to live.
