Initiation of the Probies Air raid . . . sing me a nothing song . . . what time is it roosters? . . . These dreaded demands were made upon the Freshmen probies during hell week. Hell week ran its course throughout the third week of school this year. The week started off the initiation of the Freshmen probies. It was full of strange antics that the Freshmen had to per- form. Have you ever tried to wear a plastic glove on your head? The Fresh- men did not care for it, but they sure looked hilarious. Every night at approximately 9:00, the Freshmen were dragged from their rooms to run the halls of the dorm. As they ran, they sang the song the Ju- niors had instructed them to sing. It was soon discovered that the probies were not a choir. The Freshmen spent their days try- ing to avoid the upperclassmen. Some Probies Theresa Foreman and Jenny McNamara relax during the Thursday evening picnic. Amy Bales and Marie Hogue observe as Theresa Stukenborg tastes the Juniors' Special treatn during a nightly raid. 8 HELL WEEK were unsuccessful and were caught by a Junior or Senior who yelled air raid. Immediately, the Freshmen dropped to one knee and began acting like they were shooting a machine gun. The pro' bies didn't mind the air raids until they were caught in the hospital cafeteria in front of the doctors and nurses. Hell week ended on Thursday night with a picnic. The Freshmen did not think it was a picnic. The probies ate from bedpans and drank from catheter bags. The juniors did a tremendous job in making the contents of the bedpan and catheter very authentic. After the picnic, the Freshmen, dressed in their surgical probie caps, walked around the hospital singing how many weeks they had until they received their capsg which designates they are no longer a probie.

' Fun, Friends and Life Many activities are engaged in at the Parkview-Methodist School of Nursing. One of these, and probably the most popular, is volleyball, lt is not unusual on nice fall and spring days to hear the call, Anybody who wants to play volleyball is welcome. We are setting up the net right now. Soon afterwards, sounds of laughter and friendly bickering can be heard drifting up from the patio. Another popular activity is cultivating that deep dark tan out on the sundeck, Dozens ol bathing suit clad bodies can be found out catching the rays after a hard day of class or clinical. All night card sessions and discussions are also a part of what we affectionately term dorm life, The frustrations of trying to get to the stove in a kitchen full of people cannot be expressed in these mere words. lt seems, though, that the good times far outweigh the bad. For example, pizza parties in the rec room and dances until dawn are a frequent topic for reminiscing. These happy memories will remain with us for the rest of our lives.
