First Year Students Impressions of Capping T WAS an ordinary night to most people except perhaps, that the wind was whistling around corners and the temperature was dropping rapidly. However, to the first year students of The Miami Valley Hospital School of Nursing it was a very special night. Tonight we were to be capped! Capped! We had been looking forward to it for months and now at last the time had arrived. To some people a cap has no significance, but to us in the nursing profession it is ol' priceless value. On February 17, 1941, as a class we realized more than ever before, how much nursing meant to us. We were anxious to take on the additional responsibilities that went with our caps. We felt that after having been capped we become more a part of the hospital. Now we have taken the first big step toward our distant goal-the graduate nurse. We realize that before us lie many trials, but we have within us a burning ambition and while that is present, it will be impossible to daunt us. Bark row: M. NIILLER, D. BLAIR, M. WALKER, M.

Second Year Students Embarrassing Moments OCKED AWAY in the subconscious mind of every student nurse are numerous embarrassing moments. Just imagine going through nursing school and never being embarrassed! Almost any second year student can tell you just how improbable that would be. Miss Evans offers this experience as proof that she is going to give greater thought to improving her vocabulary in the future. While scrubbed in the G. U. room doing an examination, Miss Evans heard the doctor say, marked trabeculationf, describing, of course, his findings, Miss Evans believed that he had asked for some unusual instrument and, being very anxious to fulfill his slightest wish, she asked her circulating nurse to run and get the marked trabeculationf' Miss Baird explains that her most embarrassing moment occurred when she tried to rush to pharmacology class and lost her coveted cap in a mud puddle in front of the nurses' home. She states that it is a feeling one will never forget, especially when one is already five minutes late for class. No one knows more about blushing in class than does Miss McGown. Greatly embarrassed was she when she sneezed in communicable disease class. The quiet of the lecture hour was disrupted entirely as one of her uniform buttons bounced loudly across the floor in the direction of the lecturer. Not only embarrassed, but also rudely awakened from-that drowsy sensation that all night nurses experience during the day, was Miss -i. After coming off night duty very tired and sleepy, she accidentally set her alarm one hour early. Then not only did she awaken one hour earlier than was necessary, but she also walked into the classroom and took her place with the assembled group before she opened her eyes enough to realize that it was Head Nurses' meeting instead of the class on Introduction to Medical Science. Poor Miss l-, she'll have to wait a few years to attend the Head Nurses' meetings.
