Ht The Hlumni Banquet The following messages of congratulations were read by Miss Smith: . It has come to my attention that the Methodist- Kahler School of Nursing will observe the 50th Anniversary of its founding at an alumni reunion. This is a Golden Anniversary that certainly deserved my sincere appreciation and hearty con- gratulations, on behalf of the citizens of Minnesota. The Methodist-Kahler School of Nursing has effectively complemented Rochester's great inter- nationally famous healing arts center. I want to commend all who have contributed to the half century of humanitarian service and success of this noble institution. Harold LeVander Governor State of Minnesota Congratulations to the members of the staff, the students and the alumni of the Methodist-Kahler school of Nursing as you celebrate the fiftieth anni- versary of its founding. Please extend my best wishes to all in attendance. Albert H. Quie Member of Congress Reaching the Golden Anniversary fifty-year mark in the profession of teaching the skills of nursing to thousands of students of the Methodist-Kahler School of Nursing is certainly a significant and historical accomplishment. ' I wish to add my congratulations and appreci- ation for the wonderful service to mankind that Methodist-Kahler School has given over the past fifty years. Such efforts deserve the greatest admir- ation and expressions of sincere thanks from all in our community of Rochester, and in addition there- to from our entire State, and people throughout the world who have had the blessing of being cared for by the most excellent graduates of Methodist- Kahler. Harold Krieger State Senator, 4th Legislative District Rochester, Minnesota I have just returned from the Seminar sponsored by the Methodist Hospital.

Your many and varied suc- Cesses, loyalty to your school and happy comrade- Shlps are of my early dreams for you, come true. Thank you for letting me be one of you through these many years. Good wishes to all. Irene English Countryman Fourth director of the school more Hhuui the 50th Hnniversaru In honor of this celebration, the Alumni Associ- ation provided the financial support for the publi- cation of an historical booklet which was distrib- uted to the entire M-K family and many friends of the school. Miss Eleanor Smith '36, director of the school, spent several months researching and writing the publication. She collected data from hundreds of letters, papers, minutes, documents, and by inter- viewing persons who had intimate knowledge of the school. The research turned up considerable buried treasure in the way of source material. She found pictures of early classes which had been stored away by M-K graduates which showed the first cap worn by those first 5 students. Miss Smith presented in her own literary style an informal, readible chronicle of the school's main- stream of events over the past fifty years. It is no small task to prepare a publication whose contents were fifty years in the making. The booklet 50 years serving humanigf through edu- cation is thirty-two pages and is illustrated with symbols, photographs of people, places and events memorable in the school's history. The Board of Directors of the alumni association voted to have a commemorative bronze medallion cast as a memento of the school's 50th anniversary. Miss Lois Arneson '45, past president, and Miss Joan Bruce '60, .vice-president, designed the face of the medallion and jostens manufactured it. It is 3 x ZMU and incorporates the school pin. It is pleasing to the sight as well as the touch. They are available through the Alumni Association for 35.00. . . 593 454 mt-. rgl?a?: is liirk itiiitilira nfiilii f . gig ' ' I W' 1 Q59 6 f .- Q pfbgfii 'fi x il f ia- . 1-x:3 N 3:5 qiivluvu I From Major William P.
