. W. September 6, 1955, yes, that was the big day that twenty-five--already homesick-- preclins filed through the doors of our new home, Louise Obici School of Nursing. It didn't talk long to get to know each other after classes started and we began the long bumpy road that will eventually lead us to an R.N. Before We knew it, almost two months had passed and we were right in the middle of our Halloween Party. lt went over with a bang --maybe because of Herman the Skeleton who hung in the corner but most likely because of Jinx the Fortune Tel- ler . He made those poor girls blush so badly. Christmas came and brought with it joy and sorrow. Some of the girls left after deciding they had entered the wrong profession. However, those of us who stayed and worked eight hours a day began feeling important to the world at last. After six months of worry and late hours of study, twenty proudbut humble girls walked calmly down the aisle of the Oxford Methodist Church to receive their re- wards. The small white caps that Miss Friend placed on our heads that night comple- ted our student uniform and from then on we were Freshmen instead of the traditional Preclins . The summer passed quickly as we spent many hours on the roof baking ourselves day after day. When September 6, 1956, rolled around our class had been reduced to fifteen girls. It was wonderful to be able to say- only two more years . Now it is March and half of our fifteen girls have gone to Richmond. A.nother year will pass before we will all be together again in the protective arms of L.O.M.H. However, in that year we will grow more and more in intelligence and maturity and when at last we have finished we will be able to face life as it really is, not as a cruel world but as a great, wide, wonderful world that has made a place for every child born. It is then we will have found our place in the nursing profession. 27
