Senior 611155 Prvplzecy Z if h -Q n' Z 4, . I boarded a jet plane for my well earned vacation, took my seat and dreamily looked out of the window. My state of euphoria was instantly interrupted when a smartly dressed woman called me by name. To my astonishment I found my flying companion to be Carol Reulein. As the plane took off Carol and I started reminiscing about our school days at ole W. M,C, H. Carol had not changed much and I knew she had been enjoying touring the continent with her nursing background. Later she made knovsm the fact that Martha McGoldrick and Gerry Shaw were happily married and busily raising families. I wasn't surprised to hear about Rose Krut's accomplishments in frontier nursing and that Kitty Kozak really took great pride in her prominent position with Public Health. The conversation drifted to our probie days and we both remembered the hilarious experi- ences in anatomy and physiology classes along with the old bus taking us back and forth from Harkness House to the hospital. Cnot yet quite awakej With the mention of a few names I recalled reading about Diane Herman accepting the task f'?J of infirmary nurse at West Point. I had heard from Marilou Kaempffe and knew she had received her degree but was in the midst of raising a few red-heads. Of course I couldn't lose track of my old room-mate, Emma Omlor, deep in the field of industrial nursing. Carol and Istopped talking long enough to eat a quick lunch, laughing between bites as we looked back on Ann Preston Hall. Remember the bathroom? The windows that is . . . and how we took showers in the dark y X . - for three months because of a slight mistake. fpeople could look in but we couldn't see out.J The hostess interrupted us long enough to say, We are now flying over Africa. With that I thought of one person. Carol reached into her brovsm alligator bag and handed me a pamphlet. I leafed through and sure enough it was there. Peggy Hardy was standing among a group of African natives. Iread a few lines under the picture, A well known missionary with her grow- it HI! D sL'xR'261 ing congregation. The Stewardesg passed out magazines so Carol and I amused ourselves for a while. One advertisement caught my eye, A1l discriminating people smoke Herbert Barrington. We both agreed it was a lovely picture of Vera Phillips. Our plane was about to land in England, Carol and I exchanged addresses and bid farewell.
