Excitement, anticipation and apprehension were just a few of the feelings that accompanied both the incoming freshmen and returning juniors and seniors to the Parkview4Methodist School of Nursing on the day they moved into the dormi' tory. However, after what seemed like fifty trips of carrying heavy boxes from the car to the dorm, the only feeling felt was one of exhaustion. Slows ly, the carefully packed boxes were emptied as places were found for everything in them. Once the task of unpacking was completed, the next chore was that of making the bed. Hap- pily, some of the freshmen found that this chore had already been completed by their thoughtful big sis. However, for the juniors and seniors, making beds was on their list of things to do. lnterspersed throughout this moving in pro- cess were many welcomed interruptions as fel- low classmates stopped by to say, Hellol Intro- ductions were made for all the freshman students, and new friendships were beginning to form. Old friendships were reaffirmed for the juniors and seniors as they got together to find out what others had done over their summer vacation, All in all, it was a social hour for every- one. After all the unpacking and socializing were finished, each student had a chance to sit back and ponder the upcoming year. There were so many things to be learned. However, it was all somehow made easier with the realization that no one was totally alone.

Dignity Monday, August 23, was filled with excite- ment and pride for the juniors and seniors. This was the day, affectionately known as Black Band Day, that the status of being a Junior or a Senior became official. As the day began, students, dressed according to handbook protocol, filtered from their rooms to check their appearance in the hall mirrors. The senior students then walked to the chapel located on the third floor of Park- view Memorial Hospital forthe Black Band cere' mony. After a few words from Chaplain Milner, Mrs, Craig and Mrs. Goings passed out the long black stripe that adorns the senior cap. A liberal application of K-Y jelly secures the black stripe to the white cap. Similarly, the juniors prepare for their ceremony following the exit of the sen- iors. Once again, Mrs. Craig and Mrs. Goings congratulate the students and pass out the two short black stripes that characterize the junior cap. While these services are both relatively short, the pride the students feel upon leaving the chapel lasts a long time, Right: While seniors Kim Ley and Vicki Becker look with pride upon their new stripe, Cristi Fox prepares to put on her black band. Far right: While attaching their stripes, juniors Denise Hummer and Leslie Diller take time to chat. Right: Joy Jerome watches as classmate Carma Bremer receives her senior black band. 6 BLACK BAND DAY Right: Getting the band exactly where you want it is not an easy task as Senior Joanie Bloomfield suddenly realizes.
