given, an assignment as staff nurse in the Ma¬ rine Hospital at Ellis Island, N. Y. In August, 193 3, I took a twelve and a half day cruise on the S. S. Franconia to Ha¬ vana, Cuba, and stopped over in Nassau and Bermuda. That trip was just the beginning of my travels. On the 22nd of December, 193 3, I was married at the Little Church Around the Corner” in New York City, and on January 3rd, 1934, sailed for Naples, Italy, on the S. S. Manhattan. We landed at Havre, France, January 10th, and rode three and a half hours by train to Paris, remaining there two days. We contin¬ ued by train to Rome and on to Naples, arriv¬ ing January 13th, 1934. In May of that year we went to Stuttgart, Germany, for a month by way of Milan, Italy, and spent a day travelling through the beau¬ tiful mountains of Switzerland. We left Naples May 10th, 1935, for War¬ saw, Poland, visiting Florence and Venice, Italy, and Vienna, Austria en route. The past ten months have been spent in Warsaw. May ten years hence find you all as happy as I am. Sincerely yours, Hallie Farrar Thweatt. been realized. And in its realization, I find myself completely happy in the associations, friendships, and various other attributes it has to offer. For this happiness, I find that I have only my early training at L. H. S. to thank. In a cross-section of life, we find that the various phases of education blend themselves harmoniously with life itself. Now 1 have graduated to that part of life which is the most important preparation for the future. During the four years which are required for its accomplishment, other people are aiding us, imbuing us with the knowledge that it has taken them their life-time to acquire. It was true in High School, even as it will be all through life. Consequently, we must, having profited by the progression of those before us, use the knowledge obtained from them to the best of our ability. In conclusion, I wish only that each one of you may leave L. H. S. knowing the good fortune that has been yours; and with the most sincere desire and ambition, go out into the world, recognize its faults and shortcom¬ ings—and with chin high and a broad smile, go out to conquer. And may my best wishes and all the luck in the world go with you. Sincerely, Shirley T. Sherman. Sargent College, February 15, 1936. To the Seniors of Lovingston High School: You should feel very proud of the fact that you are graduating from Lovingston High School—a secondary school which comprises an excellent part of that great and fine Nelson County. I realize now, even as you will, that the faculty of Lovingston High School tried to the best of their ability to give me a founda¬ tion that would enable me to get the very most from my college career. The knowledge of their endeavor was not noticed at the time, but as I have grown older, I have recognized the actual worth, use, and practicability that their striving has come to mean to me. The foundation that one receives in a High School such as L. H. S., supplies one of the basic fundamentals absolutely necessary to a college education. From my earliest childhood d ays, I have fondly cherished the dream of eventually attending Sargent College, a school of Physical education. Now this dream has Washington, D. C. February 27, 1936. Dear Mrs. Lea: Since my earliest rememberance, I have wanted to become a nurse. And now, that I have been privileged to enter one of the finest nursing schools in the United States, The Gallinger Municipal Hospital, Washington, D. C., I wonder if it would interest you if I should tell you just a little about by experi¬ ences here. I arrived at the Nurses’ Home on the eve¬ ning of September the third, and was cordially received by the superintendent of nurses her¬ self, and the House Mother. Since then I have met many of the doctors, supervisors, and in¬ structors who have been very helpful and un¬ derstanding. Classes did not begin for several days, so there was time to get acquainted with the girls who were to be my classmates. The new isolation building which is a part of the hospital, was dedicated the day the new
