CLASS CF 19 37 We have gained, through the merger of the Flower and the Fifth Avenue Hospitals, a wide variety of activities and traditions. Seniority is a tradition which ranks first. Seniority is important: it imparts dignity to the Senior class, and creates respect from the lower classes. Seniority means the front table in the dining hall, it means seniors get on and off elevators first: it means three, instead of one or two late leaves per week. Besides seniority and all its rites, there are many other traditions which are part of our esprit de corps, such as, the welcome extended to the probies on the first night, the Carols the night before Christmas, and the annual Florence Nightingale services. As strangers and students in a large city we are forced to provide some means of relaxation. Dances, parties and teas formed the nucleus of our social life. We have had formal and informal dances, but the latter are the more popular. Paradoxically, for a female, is the lack of interest we demon- strate in getting dolled up. But the vigors of the days activities lead us to prefer the ease and comfort of informality. Lesser activities such as swimming at Hecksher Foundation, tennis on the courts behind the hospital, and pic- nics in Long Island help to make group living more enjoyable. Personal hobbies among the girls, such as knitting, painting, designing, and reading are in great evidence. The students have a self-governing organization which is supplemented by a faculty advisory council. A Student Council, consisting of eight selected members, attempts to solve the perplexing problems so numerously created by the girls. Their decision is then presented to the students for approval. However, the importance of the Council lies in its constant effort to help the girls to acclimate themselves to the regime of the nurse's curriculum. We are about to clothe ourselves in the whiteness of the graduate nurse, with the reminescent thoughts of the bedraggled lot who first entered still in our minds. We hope that these memories, these traditions, and these activ- ities that we leave with you-our Iuniors, Intermediates, and Probationers- FRANCES PHILLIPS. will be carried on, and embellished.
