' most everyone thought it was fun. Those cute little scraps of humanity we were afraid to handle at first; diapers to change, bottles to warm, mamas to pan and papas to calm . . . scrub calls and quick preps . . . open house when twins and breeches arrived . . . doing set ups, checking the standards. , On to pediatrics . . . the little white gowned angels (?)... more diapers, formula lab, nursery school . . . Sue Ellen . . . never was there a cuter, naughtier child . . . ice cream cones for dessert . . . Miss Buchardi ' s appointments, birthday cakes . . . premies . . . T and A ' s . . . remember Chuckle? A locked door opened to reveal a new department, and a new realm of medicine . . . psycho. Night rounds . . . walks with patients . . . mid-morning breakfasts . . . shift dances . . . treatments and clinics . . . the quiet room . . . Caruso (now in memorium) . . . the revelations through personal psychoanalyses. Ah, Contage . . . inner sanctum with bugs . . . but pancakes for breakfast and mid-morning crackers and milk helped dim the view of spooky unused corridors . . . Miss Pepper ' s Scottish accent . . . the table with the bell In the dining room . . . cubicle gowns . . . making friends from other schools . . . Isolation technique . . . pancakes and Hernandez to erase the blues ( Come on. Chappie, drink all your milk like a good fellow and I ' ll draw you a picture ) . . . sessions at the iron lung . . . evenings at The Spot . Return to Luke ' s . . . full fledged seniors . . . charge duty . . . and suddenly a winterish vacation and then it was May. The prom loomed big . . . more civilians this year, but here and there an intern in uniform, sad reminder that another crop of the older boys was to leave soon . . . Miss Frischkorn busy taking pictures for PRN . . . the north ball room and other rooms well populated ... It was a wonderful prom. Baccalaureate followed on Its heels, with the first wearing of whites. There was that beautiful Alumnae banquet with Miss Fulmer and graduates from all over the country . . . It made us vow to attend every year. Graduation was the most stiiring of all . . . The Reverend Bell ' s address most impressive ... the ' 46A ' 5 we had missed seeing around, and all of us proud of this year ' s guard of honor ... the reception at Schweppe so lovely and so nicely filled with all those relatives who almost got caught in the train strike . . . Mrs. Bell ' s hospitality ... the staff ' s congratulations. The.e ' s the waiting period ... the counting in days and not years . . . cokes at the drug . . . walks to the lake . . . concerts at Grant Park . . . thorough sunburns . . . chapel weddings . . . that unforgettable senior picnic (when have we ever eaten so much out-of-this-world food with such gusto!) ... the mad deadline rush for copy and pictures ... no film to be had anywhere In town . . . having to cut pages (running short of money and being darned if we ' d sell more sandwiches) . . . getting subscriptions and hoping the results of It all would be worth $2.50 to the buyers September grows near . . . friendships more dear . . . nostalgia becomes a frequent complaint, and for It we recommend reading this book of memories, prn.
