We were thrilled and yet just u bit fearful-- I Wonder if I will ever become il nurse. I wonder if I will ever be able to adjust myself to the many different situations I shall meetf' XVe became acquainted with the faculty und student body at a party held on the lawn of thc Nurses, Home. Interesting talks were given by both the graduate and student nurses, stimulating the nursing spirit Within us. Our first impression of the nursing profession wus obtained in the classroom the following Mon- day morning. Such El stack of books! Maybe l should have taken some college work first. Never- theless, with high courage and deterinination. though we felt discouraged at times, eleven of us progressed up to the present Senior class. The other one married at the end of her first year. Many and more events took place, Initiation! What next? Blindfolded, rough riding over hills and rocks, and what not! Funny, but the cur run out of gasoline, ln spite of ull this, however, there was at happy ending-plenty of food, games, and songs, und interesting stories and prophecies were told :is the group gathered about the camp fire. Election! Clnss sponsor und officers. And when iniforined that Dr. Fenton was chosen as our class doctor, our deepest sympathy was extended to the llill.tlI'lll1l2lI6 main, All during the course of our i..t1s.ng studies. there was either S01l160l16yS tonsils or appendix needing attention. There were class prayer meetings, jail services. church :ind Sunday school, and Wednesday night prayer meetings to attend during our stay here. October, Time marches on. Thrills! We don our blue und white uniforms :ind white cups, It makes us feel more like nurses, We become more skilled in lllillilllg beds, and giving baths and buck- rubs,
