SENIUR C ASS HISTORY Necessary to the completion of our book is a history of our three years in nurses training. A list of dates could suffice but could never hold all of our precious memories. Who can forget September 3, 1951, when our dreams of our future destiny started to become a reality? Here in a strange environment we found new friends and a new way of living. Classes, books, long study hours, and anticipation confronted us each day. Yet our hours of work and study were compensated with carefree hours, parties, gab sessions in our rooms, and laughter ringing through the halls of our home. During an impressive candlelight service, we received our Caps on February 29, 1952. Already we were beginning to be rewarded for our toil. And then we were Juniors! Our days were filled with ex- citement of work on special departments-Maternity, Diet Kitch- en, Pediatrics, and the Operating Room. Our first group of class- mates left for their Psychiatric Affiliation at Warren State Hos- pital. Three months separation seemed long, but letters from the girls back home cheered our days. Can we really believe we were Seniors so soon? How long it had seemed and then it happened so suddenly. With the title of seniors we found new responsibility and more work to be accomplished. Our last summer together was sprinkled with social gather- ings. Billowing formal gowns on a summer eve meant the sen- ior banquet and dance given for us by the Alumnae Association. With graduation, receiving our pins, diplomas, and con- gratulations, may we journey further down the road to success finding happiness and satisfaction in our profession. 30
