RUTH MAE BECHTOLD Ruth Lancaster R.D. 4, Pa. Let a smile be your umbrella Ruth's characteristic laugh can be heard on the slightest provocation and she flashes her friendly smile to one and all. When we hear her laugh we can be assured she is probably telling in great detail about some exciting experience she's had on evening or night duty. While on duty Ruth is a serious minded, con- scientious nurse whose chief concern is to give her patients the best in nursing care. Her favorite pastime is writing letters and she has many pen pals. She really kept us informed of news back home while we were at Byberry. Don't be surprised if some day you hear that Ruth is out pioneering in some adventurous field of service because that is what she has in mind. fifteen BEVERLY AUTLAND Bev New Providence, Pa. It ain't necessarily so Peaches and cream complexion, short brown hair, sparkling blue eyes and attractive wardrobe characterize our Bev. Her ability to hoss em over has been an asset many times to Women's Medical Ward. Since Bev was alphabetically at the beginning of our class she always had the pleasure?? of being the first to encounter each special training. We give her a lot credit for being such a brave girl. If Bev can't be found, you can be sure she has iust gone home to New Providence CSmall Town, U.S.A.D lf you are fortunate enough to find her she is always a willing fourth in a pinochle game. By the way Bev did you ever learn to knit? Surgical nursing was Bev's favorite service, with her efficiency and interest we are sure her future will be bright.

1 i i l i MARY BOWMAN Mary Palmyra R. D. l, Pa. I whistle a happy tune Mary is an attractive little lass with beautiful brown eyes and wavy hair. You may think she is quiet and doesn't have much to say, but wait until you learn to know her. We are sure you will change your mind. She was the source of many peanut butter crackers, cakes, and good times in Fraim and 518. lf you find her in an unhappy mood you'll know she is on E.D. or else it's her day off with class and she couldn't go home. Mary's love for babies has been an asset to her work on maternity and children's ward. With her personality, we know she will have much success in the future. ANNA E. BENDER Ann Lancaster R. D. 2, Pa. l'm sitting on top of the world Doesn't anyone have any food, l'm starved! You guessed it - Ann's around again eating up the morsels so meager in a nurses' home. And who was the pep of the party the night Ann fell out of the window after having thrown out some- one else's slippers. You can be sure you'll have plenty of laughs with Ann around, but don't dare her to do anything - she'll do it. Ann has the special ability of being able to cheer up any discouraged patient as well as any nurse. She also is speedy when it come to getting the six o'clock list done. We hope you get that position on a medical floor for which you are hoping, Ann. . sf - :ii sixteen CAF E you out it knc anc wo: E assi Sur knc nes 6 if arc got
