CLASS PROP!-IECY OF I934 In the year of 1950, Blanche Magee, a famous Air Liner Nurse since her graduation from the L. A. C. G. H., decided to retire. Having earned enough money for a trip fthe depression had come and goneb Blanche bought a ticket for a twelve-day jaunt around the world. Of course Blanche had a wonderful time. We know-because this is the record of each days experience as copied from her diary. MONDAY, JUNE 10, 1950 Aboard U. S. Air Liner Magellan Left Los Angeles this morning with a glorious farewell from Vivian Campbell who 1S now Superintendent of Nurses at the L. A. C. G. H., Maudie. Lowrance who is Supervisor of Surgery, and Janet Burson who is Supervisor of C. D. On board with me are three of my classmates, Mar- jorie Doyle, Mary DeKorte and Mary Hale. Marjorie and Mary DeKorte have been ardent workers in Public Health activities and are taking a va- cation now. Mary Hale, really Mrs. Robert Donham, is giving her hus- band a rest, as well as herself, while she visits her friend Martha Welker, a visiting nurse in Japan. TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 1950 Tokynoi, Japan We had luncheon with Martha today in her beautiful home here. We visited the marvelous hospital which she has helped to establish. She has a training school with live hundred Japanese girls. Her assistants are Mae and Fay Stivers, Bonnie and Faye Griffiths, and Myrtle Martin. I wish I could tell you of their wonderful work, but time limits me. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 1950 Ifongkong, China I left the girls in Japan and thought I was fortunate to have seen so many of my dear old friends. Well! Imagine my surprise when I met Catherine Olson and her husband, Dr.. Buss, with their four little Busses. They were having dinner in the hotel and invited me to join them. Inci- dentally, Dr. Buss told me that Catherine had never learned to cook any- thing but stew while she had been in training. After dinner Dr. and Mrs. Riveria CRoberta Wulsteinj joined us. The two doctors are famous sur- geons in China. ' THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 1950 I The Alps in Switzerland One would not have known it was June, for I was high up in the Alps and OOoo! it was cold. This proved to be the most fascinating experience I have ever had, for always I have, wished to see these mountains. Pic- tures and stories of them do not do justice to their beauty. This morn- ing a party of twelve of us hiked twenty miles. Our guide was Michael Faiola and among the vacationists were Lillian Chapman and her hus- band, Edward Train, Martha Zwiebel, Hazel Richardson and Tommy Cur- tis. We had such fun talking over old times. These three girls are found- ers of the T. B. Sanitarium in Geneva. They have invited me to spend my remaining hours here with them. Scfuenty-nine

Never be content with being at a standstill. Store up knowledge for future use, for nothing is wasted. Learn how tollike what comes to you and you will attract good things. When a situation gets .too bad and you can do something about it-do it! When you can't help 1t, comfort yourself with the thought that every- thing comes out ultimately for the best. There is scope for every tempera- ment in nursing, so never stay at anything at which you are bored. If you are.not happy after you have made every effort to learn all that your position has to offer, and if you feel that you are unable to learn any more or give value for the money you receive-leave that particular .line of nursmg and find something else. Begin at the bottom if need be, and learn something quite new. Make an adventure of your chosen field, and make every working hour full and valuable to yourself and others. Have a good time wherever you are and whatever you do. My final message to the' Class of 1934 is this: a I Have a good time on duty as well as oi and you will be good nurses, for you will be happy people, and happy healthy people cure sick people faster than medicine. The best of luck and success be yours throughout the years is the wish of I MARY ALLEN RITCHIE. fMrs. James K.
