Senior Class Iiistory August 31, 1941-ln La Junta at last! That gray stucco building there among the trees was, as we soon learned, the Nurses' resi- dence. Being welcomed at the door by a friendly smile we were accompanied to our rooms by none other than our house mother, Mrs. Zink. As we counted noses we discovered fourteen eager girls, each anticiating her new caree1'. YVe hailed from Pennsylvania. Illinois, Indiana Michigan, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma. Califor- nia, and Colorado. Little did we realize tl1e last- ing friendships which were formed at that early date. XVhen we were asked to give our first im- pressions of La Junta at a get-acquainted so- cial held in the park, our yet tender memories of mother and home were touched a little deeper by Nete's rendition of the That XVonderful Moth- er of Mine. ln recalling those first lonely Sun- days in La Junta there lingers the memory of that song God Be With You 'Til We Meet. Again, which we helped sing at the close of the Sunday morning church service. In a few days we were shown our textbooks- and what an exposure! At this time, one of the girls decided she was more interested in a cot- tage small, and she returned to Oklahoma to be married. Thirteen of us struggled o11. Soon we were wearing blue uniforms and working a few hours each week on the floor. Answering lights was such an adventureg we didn't know what might appear inside that closed door, There were those turkey dinners! How we looked forward to each invitation to dinner. Oni Oh! XVe must watch our caloric intake, The weath- er already was agreeing with us. Election of class officers and sponsor.-NVe were fortunate to have Dr. Cooper appointed as our class doctor. Besides caring for our ills, Dr. and Mrs. Cooper entertained us royally at several picnics, not to mention the delightful evenings spent at their home. Christmas packages from home. For some it was a vacation trip home and for others it was our first Clhristmas away from home. Then came March 1 ..., XVould we be worthy of the title of i'Freshman nurse? lt was so much fun getting ready for breakfast that morning. Our spirits were high as they sang God Hath Not Promised Skies Always Blue-If New procedures illld added responsibilites con- fronted us each day-but we had a determination to win. Tests-Vacations-and then we were Juniors. Our junior year found us scattered throughout the hospital beginning our various special ser- vices. We enjoyed getting together in the even- ing to relax and enjoy the company of class- mates. Quite often we were quieted by the gentle tapping on the door and sl1hh . We had forgot- ten about tl1e ones who were trying to sleep. Many of our evenings were spent singing old familiar songs. among which was our favorite My Faith Looks Up to Thee. A box of goodies from home always meant a, party. Occasionally. sometime during the 'tstill- ness of the night that party was held. but more often our 8:00 - 10:00 study period was invaded. Footsteps were prevalent in the hall, so we ate by moonlight. Doctor's lectures-Tests-Thanksgiving dinner in the dining rtvom-Christmas-loved ones from home--were high spots of our happy and pros- perous Junior year. January found us with two new members from Iowa. Fern and Luella, who were made one with us at a popcorn party held the evening of their arrival. llow happy we were to again have tl1e original number of fourteen, XVe were divided into two groups for our affil- iation in Denver. As the time 'approached that half of the class would go to Denver. several early morning rises for breakfasts 'out of doors' were enjoyed. Those pancakes mixed with early morn- ing mist and day break were especially delicious. Junior - Senior Banquet-Vacations-then to Denver. lt was with apprehensive anxiety and anticipation that we began our work in Denver. Miss lola Miller saw us through the first two years of training and then, deciding we were capable of continuing without her. XVQ-'IIE to In- diana and was married. XVe, as a class felt we needed some o11e to look after us so we appoint- ed Miss Moser. h Ruth illld Lucy l1ad the misfortune to lose time due to illness, but they will be able to graduate with the class. Our stay in Denver was made more enjoyable by the happy privilege which was ours in that llro. and Sister Friesen opened their home to us. lt was ours anytime: many were the times we enjoyed Mrs. F'riesen's delicious home-made bread -not to 1nentio11 the other goodies we indulged in. December '43eOur class is again a pioneer. FUHI' of U16 filet group were sent to Pueblo for their Psychiatric affiliation. Commencement-State Board-and thus ends our three happy years together, WMARJORIE YANTZI
