EVELYN FRANCES ANN BAKER “As we journey thru life, let ' s live by the way. “Now kids, I ask you, isn’t that the berries?” You would know you were hear- ing Baker without my telling you. Baker rides thru life on the crest of every wave, seldom even glimpsing the bottom of the sea, and casting off all weights as merely “the berries.” She was always known as Little Eva among her friends ( I guess because she dieted so much) until she became Captain of the crew on 27, and then the appellation Little Eva simply couldn’t be applied. How she worked, how she rushed, how she ran (I mean ran the ward). How all the nurses under her “stepped on it!” So much was accomplished in such short order, that the Admitting Office thought her “pep” was endless. After filling every nook and cranny in her ward, they conceived the brilliant idea of filling all the beds in E. W., 26, and various other wards with patients from 27. Daily, between 6.00 and 7.00, little bands of Baker’s patients might be seen returning to the fold after pleasant nights spent in various parts of the hospital. The most remarkable part of Evelyn is that aside from her work she has an extra supply of “pep” for off duty hours. Class is the only place where we have seen her catch forty winks. We have all decided that her “pep” must be due to Minnie’s “pop.” Page twenty-two 1 9 2 8
