'Fhough tired and wea1'y from travel, we eagerly inspected our rooms. shiny bandage scissors. and packaged name-tapes before crawling into bed for the night. The beginning ot a new day revealed a beautiful lawn surrounding the nurses' homeg numerous t1'ees proved al111ost a disappointment. After all. hadn'1. we been informed that we would locate in the wide open spaces? tt'oming right down to it. we were glad our impression was wrong.l Each day brought forth new faces and namesgclassmates. graduates, supervisors, and everyone else's big sister. We had little time to become acquainted, for bright and early Monday morning we began classes which continued all day. I-looks. books. and more books! At, intel'vals in the following days and weeks wt- enjoyed such things as Literary Society get-accpiainted social and a delicious supper at Brother 1'lrb's.

Christmas brought with it packages and more packages. a Gospel team. from llesston. earolinpr. and a real t'!l Santa from l'enna.. instead of the North Pole! The first of the New Year found us still busy-rushing lo and from classes, and every week working: more Zlllti more. New procedures confronted us each day, Ilow shaky we were when we gave our first hypos! What a thrill to watch our first operations. 'l'hen book reviews with l'0fl'PSilllll'llfS and all by Miss Frey, A' big event of the year was the debate on the age-old question. Heredity and Enviromnent.

How nice it was during heart sister week to come home and find our beds all made up. our clothes washed a11d ironed. and a piece or two of candy lying on our beds. l ebruary-the fateful day was fast approaching, XVould we be accepted ? XVhy would they have asked us to fix up our white uniforms if they had planned to send us home? Finally. Miss Miller grave us the verdict. report cards and all. XVe all were to stay here! March 1 found us all up bright and ea1'ly donning white uniforms, Breakfast was in our honor. Now we were Freshmen-real student nurses!
