After the first few days we indeed questioned our ability to reaffli that goal which was so far away. Our first appearanee in uniforins and eaps, first baths given on the ward, first hypos, first night duty and nianv other Hfirstsw brought a feeling of satisfaction which will never be forgotten. lVe were progressing. The second year brought doetor's lectures and other Classes, also speeial serviees in the operating room, obstetrical departnient and Tuberculosis sanitariurn. These meant long, hard hours but We were rewarded, by inany new and interesting' experiences. The third year niarked still another niile post when we went to Denver for six inonths of study at Denver General Hospital and three niouths at Colorado Psvehopathie Hospital. These Courses were very valuable and rnueh enjoyed but what a thrill to again re- turn to our own Alma Mater, Along' with our vvork we enjoyed many periods of recreation-pai2 ties, pienies, literaries, trips to Royal Gorge, Garden of the Gods, Bible Institute, and of eourse, best of all, sununer vacations at our various homes. lVe paint ourselves, the joy, the fear of which the eoniing' life is inade, - And in the field of destiny, we reap as We have sown.
