She holds a B.S. degree in Nursing from St. Louis University, and a M.S. degree in Nursing from Washington University, St. Louis, and had experience as a staff nurse in several hospitals and had been an instructor in Medical-Surgical Nurs- ing.

Qtgt Kathy Boyum, senior president showing Miss Smith Cleftj and Mrs. Sternberg Crightl the adjustments on the sewing machine which the Class of 1966 gave to the school. A gift of a Singer Portable Style-Mate Standard Zig-Zag sewing machine was presented to the school by the class' of 1966. Kathy Boyum, senior class president, made the presentation at the Stu- dent Association meeting in August. This handsome practical gift will be kept at Max- well Hall. To identify the class as the donor of the sewing machine, Mrs. Phil Sternberg, class adviser, donated an engraved brass plate which is mounted on the base of the machine. This useful gift will no doubt keep the adress- makersi' at Maxwell Hall happy for many years to come. Thank you, Class of 1966. Competed in tJklationaQ Contest Judith Hamann '66, daughter of Mrs. Clifford Hamann of St. Paul, was selected by the faculty to compete in the 1966 na- tional Miss Methodist Student Nurse Contest. ,Hd ' Sponsored by the Na- t1onal Association of Methodist Hospitals and Homes and the General J 4 Board of Hospitals and E X Homes of the Methodist ' ' Church, the purpose of JUDITH this contest each year is to select a representative young lady who is sym- bolic of both the nursing profession and church- related occupations. Judith competed with candidates from all the schools of nursing in the United States who are affiliated with the National Association of Meth- odist Hospitals and Homes. According to the criteria, each candidate must be a senior student nurse, single, attractive, of high moral character, have a pleasing personality, be in the upper third of her class scholastically, display a professional interest in nursing, and be a person who views nursing as a means of fulfilling her Christian vocation. The student chosen to represent each school must submit a written biographical sketch, a brief per- sonality sketch to show how she views herself as a person, and a statement on Why I Chose the Nursing Professionu. At Methodist-Kahler Judith was an active stu- dent citizen. She was a member of the Travel Club Chorus, Student Council, Dormitory Council presi- dent, member of Uniform Inspection Committee, and this past year was vice president of her class, and secretary of Sixth District Minnesota Nursing Student Association. She was also a member of the Walther League of the Trinity Lutheran Church. Before enrolling at Methodist-Kahler, she attended the University of Minnesota in the School of Sci- ence, Literature, and Art, where she became very interested in Oriental culture and language, she continues to keep up this interest through self study and correspondence. The winner of this yearis contest was a senior student from Methodist Hospital, Brooklyn, N .Y. She was awarded a trip to Dallas, Texas, Feb. 15- 17, 1966, where she was the guest at the annual convention of the National Association of Methodist Hospitals and Homes and was presented in special ceremonies. Although Judith did not win this contest, she received the following commendation from the Di- rector of Cultivation of the Board of Hospitals and Homes, C'We congratulate you upon having been chosen to represent your school. This in itself is a signal honor and an experience to be cherished. Our prayer is that the remainder of your senior year be a fruitful and fulfilling experience and that the career of service which lies before you may bring you joy as you minister to human needs. The judges were agreed that although every candi- date was a worthy person, the young lady from New York expressed best in her written materials this spirit of dedication. 7

CQIQQ june 1, a beautiful, warm, sunny day, found the Class of 1966 emerging from Maxwell and Edith Mayo Halls attired in their prettiest summer out- fits, complete with hats, gloves and heels. The oc- casion was the annual Mayo Foundation Tea given in honor of the seniors of Methodist-Kahler and St. Marys. s we walked u the curved driveway towards A P the house, we were impressed by the grandeur of the Foundation House, and the beauty of the flower gardens. In the reception hall we were greeted by mem- bers of the M-K and St. Marys, faculties and each senior was presented a long-stemmed rose. It was a privilege to roam through the house and yard and enjoy the beauty and elegance of this historical home. In Balfour Hall, on third floor, we viewed for the first time the famous stained glass window which depicts two thousand years of medical history and the inter-relationship of education, practice and research. Refreshments were served here and we had further opportunity to visit with students and faculty. We will always recall with pleasure the afternoon at the Mayo Foundation House. Susan Buske, '66 Quinton - Samoa CQauquet Happiness is . . . H was the theme of the J.-S. Banquet held in Heritage Hall on july 23, 1966. The programs, table, and wall decorations fea- tured Snoopy, Charles Schultzis puppy of the comic strip 'fPeanuts, and many of the happiness say- ings, plus some appropriate originals by the juniors. Judy Munger, junior, was toastmistress for the program, and Frances Peterson gave the blessing. Linda Tuttle, junior president, and Kathy Boyum, senior president, gave the welcome and response. Following the dinner, a group of the graduate exchange nurses known as the Filipino Dancersi' delighted the audience with several native dances. The guest speaker was Rochester's well-known Mr. Harley Flathers of KROC Radio Station. With his characteristically fluent style he pleased his audience by using both humorous and serious ideas in relation to Happiness is . . . One of the serious thoughts he emphasized was that each of us bas- ically desires to enrich our own and other's lives, and that in this we pursue the goal of happiness. Happiness for nurses, he thought, is doing for and with others, as we are in a position where we are able to view life from beginning to end. If we are good, we become a gift to humanity-and hap- piness is giving large or small. It was an evening our class will cherish, as hap- piness for us . . . was then being together.
