Who will ever forget i the vows to stay slim since most of our patients were “pleasingly plump.” The ll heavy casts in orthopedics with all those ropes and weights brought confusion and It bewilderment to many a student.

It also gave us self- ” ! confidence, more reliefs, more nights, and float privileges. Then, back to work on f j varying wards with intern classes once a week — disaster nursing, first-aid, and careers. ! I Then on June 12, the rest of our class donned their caps. Then our whole class . I became interns. June 12 also was the day we first wore our white uniforms. On came the black bands while we received pins and diplomas.

Anyone for another three years!!?
