DEDIC We, the Class of ' 39, do dedicate this year book to our Director, Miss Mar- garet C. Peeler, who has so nobly guided us through these three years with her loyal comradeship, timely sug- gestions, deep understanding, and careful planning, and who has shared our sorrows and our joys.

TO THE SENIOR CLASS Those outside the profession of nursing possess ideas concern- ing it which at times are surprising and contrary to those which we as members know it to be. To understand the spirit and ideals of nursing one must be a nurse who gives herself joy- fully, willingly, and wholeheartedly to the service of humanity both to alleviate suffering and to educate for the maintenance of health. The nursing profession is no longer separate but is an integral part of everything which has to do with the ad- vance of human welfare. Cultivate, therefore, a character distinguished by refine- ment and poise; a clear mind; a strong and healthy body; a cheerful and even disposition; an interest in the higher and important things of life. And now, as you become members of this profession, at home or in distant parts, never forget how you felt at the Capping Exercises; the high resolve you then made, and the standards of an Osteopathic nurse, to which you have pledged your life. MARGARET C. PEELER, Ph.B., R.N,, Director of Nursing.
