SENIOR CLASS HISTORY - History is a means by which we measure our degree of advancement. This little narrative of the advaneeinents of the class of '32 is not. I l1ope. the only means by which we are known, but rather. by the deeds wl1icl1 we have done. lt was i11 tl1e spring of 1929 tl1at f1ll'0P girls left their 'homes to seek to do their Masters will by ministering to the sick. The following September fourteen 111ore girls joined to f0l 1l1 the class of '32. We represe11t te11 states. namelyg Colorado. Idaho. Kansas. Indiana, Nebraska. North Dakota. Oklahoma, Ohio. Oregon tllld Pennsylvania. During the first year four of our members dropped out. We were sorry to lose them but other duties called. Our first in1pressio11s of the nursing profession were obtained i11 tl1e class room. Two weeks later we donned u11iforms. 21D1'0llS and caps and reported Hon duty for half days. Our feelings then we1'e as only those of probies can be. Scared? A little, pe1'haps. Dumb? Xes! But willing to work and lear11 a11d with this spirit we progressed to the Senior class of today. During this time we became acquainted witl1 Brother Erb. our superintedent. He helped us get started right by implanting i11to our minds the necessity of ministering to the soul as well as the physical body. To meet this need. time was provided for daily devotions with out patie11ts. We try to give each one a gli111pse of Christ, our ever present friend. Un tl1e first day of December we received our stripes wl1icl1 was an indication that we had served our probation days well and were IIOXV freshmen. Sometime later we called a class meeting. The following officers were elected: President, Esther Shenk: vice-president, Margaret Miller: secretary 211111 treasurer, Esther Brennemang sponsor. Mae Miller. 111 tl1e spring of 1930, our president left tl1e school so we were obligated to elect a IICXV one. Mattie Hoffer was elected Ellld has served i11 tl1at capacity since. XVh0l1 the class of '30 was graduated. it dawned 011 us that we were now juniors. Vsle fou11d this year a year of hard work including our specialties such as surgery. ob- stetrics. special diets. laboratory 211141 X-Ray. Studies were l1eavy witl1 our practical work but we enjoyed it all. We climbed even though the rocks so1neti111es were rugged. 'The summer of '31 found us entering our Senior year. Heretofore we had heard about Denver a11d affiliation but 11ow it was beginning to be a reality for l1alf our class. On the evening of JIIIIQ 14. we gathered together for a class meeting a11d prayer service. At this meeting we elected Nora Miller, our instructress. as class sponsor since our former sponsor left. The next morning six of our number left for affiliation at Cl1ildren's Hospital 31161 De11ver General Hospital. De11ver. .lust a little lonesomeness crept i11 at this time but we kept on climbing. O11 December 15. tl1e tables tur11ed. The first group returned to La Junta and the 80001111 group began their affiliation. How busy we were the last few months with our studies. class activities. S0ll101' reviews Zllld State Boa1'd just ahead of us. As connnencenient drew 11ear illld we tl10ugl1t of the parting just beyond, it left a pang of sadness. After we leave our school we shall always remember witl1 pleasure tl1e frie11dsl1ips formed as we worked side by side ill serving suffering lllllllfllllty. XVe are also thilllk- fnl for the Christian fellowship we have enjoyed i11 our training school. EFFIE IOLA MILLER. This day we fashion flestfiny, Our web of fate we spin.
