Jenner,' and 4'Lister,' made profound and fundamental discoveries, but our MChief , a re- nowned surgeon and teacher, has in his own way inspired colleagues and students to greater and far reaching achievements. A winning personality tinged with humor, an eye seeing the good in every man, and an en- thusiasm in the pursuit of happiness for others are only a few of the main threads woven into the fabric of his life. As an expression of our humble and deep appreciation for the guidance given so graciously not only to us but to all those within our realm, we, the class of 1957 dedicate our year book to this untiring surgeon ' Dr. S.

Q vw 115 2 f, IN MEMORIAM f .7425 QQ: Ruth Frank will long be remembered by her many friends. We, as her classmates, have enjoyed the friendship of so genuinely fine a student nurse. The many memories of her joyous spirit whose brief s ojourn here enriched those who knew her shall be treasured in the hearts of all of us. Her willingness to render excellent nursing care made her very well known in our hospital. She was endeared to all who worked with her through a contagious enthusiasm and magnetic personality. Life's sicknesses are slackened and life's sorrows are sweetened by the Great Physician whose Spirit dwells within a consecrated nurse. It is not the length of life that matters, but how it is lived. It is not how longn but how welln. The profound sorrow occasioned by her death is only brightened by the knowledge of the permanent imprint for good Ruthls life has left with all of us. Six
