THE ANNUAL CLASS HISTORY The Class of 1921 entered the profession between the dates of January 11, and December 26, 1918. It is the largest class ever enrolled or graduated from Lake View Hospital. The class organized early in 1919 and elected the following odficersz Lina C. Lesch, President: Orpha M. Thornburgh, Vice-President: Bertha Jane Heaton, Secretary and Treasurer. Each nurse began her career with varied impressions which changed as she developed in her training. Anne E. Kedas began our career While Orpha M. Thornburgh followed quite near: Misses Miller, McGuire, Reagan and Nice, Vickery and Terrill were showered with rice. They were not here long, we'll have to tell, Before they heard the wedding bell. Ruth Ouderkirk entered on April Fool's Day, But of her fine work we can never gainsay. Full of life and giggle Julick came, And still she acts just about the same. The two Heaton sisters became real clever, But left quite soon for other fields of endeavor. E. Clem and G. Pricer their appearance made, It takes their sweet voices to soothe and persuade. Ethel E. Cardiff arrived in the Fall, And ever since then has mothered us all. Mayme York on Labor Day commenced, And says she's been laboring ever since. Still in September three more came, Throckmorton, Southworth and Lilla Payne. Throckmorton some day may win great fame, While Southie, Dear, bears an angel name. Her Mother's illness called Payne away, And now she's back with the Intermediates to stay. The clarion call of the war then came, And the Government sent us these by name: R. Havens, E. Oltjenbruns and Higby dear, H. Pont, M. Rylander and Kirkpatrick in fear, M. Thal, Flo Whiting and Zoe Marsh all told, Complete the list of the Government roll. R. Havens stuck through thick and thin, E. Oltjenbruns, too, is bound to win. Pogo S1'1'cnIr'r'n

TI-IE ANNUAL sg A N' fp Y' fi Q4 O wi 4 HOMAGE LOYALTY claims our hearts beat true In the years that shall come and go, And mem'ries of our dear Lake View Shall be bright in the afterglow. VISION brings to us all again The world outside, without a ban, We'll happy be to see it when Our Alma Mater says we can. HOMAGE is due to those just now, Whose guidance we eagerly sought, Today, with thanks, our heads we bow, Tomorrow, our freedom we've bought. -J. M. G. I
