CLASS HISTORY The history of the class of '49 begins on a day in August three years ago. As we look back over these three years we hnd that they are probably the most signihcant ones in our lives. We have worked and studied hard to become a Part of our chosen profession. This Is Our Story The hrst six months of our training was quite an experience for all of us. We were known to the rest of our profession as preclinicals . . . Blue uniforms, study hour, Nursing arts, and that hrst day on the halls, are things we shall never forget. We began to know each other a little better during these months, and we managed to have a lot of fun. We had watermelon parties, to Mother Campbells despair, and there were several dances we enjoyed very much. Christmas came and soon was gone, and then came capping. We were a proud group the night we received our caps and wore our white uniforms for the hrst time. Wirli our preclinical days behind us we were now known as Freshmen. We had to go to classes that first summer. Remember how hot it was and how sleepy we got? Almost before we knew it though, we had been in training a year. We felt like veterans now for we were Iuniors. During our Iunior year we began our special duties. We had classes and exams and more classes. When Christmas came we got up at 5 o'clock in the morning to sing carols to the patients in the hospital. Then we began to work hard on plans for the banquet we were to give the grad- uating seniors in the spring. Our favorite song at this time was Leave the Dishes in the Sink Ma. Wlien summer came and classes were over for a while, we began to realize that our second year in training was almost over .... Then at long last we became dignihed Seniors. It was grand to be a Senior, and what a difference our black bands made. Cut responsibilities began to increase more and more, and we began to answer questions instead of asking so many. We celebrated Christmas with a Christmas tree and a party. In about two months our classes were over for good, and the time of our graduation came nearer and nearer. Cut Senior activities began with the banquet at the Bon-Air given to us by the Iuniors. This was followed by picnics, barbecues, dances, a theater party, and a breakfast. The big night of our graduation Hnally came. We had looked forward to it for so long, and it was complete with long sleeves, red roses, pins and diplomas. This almost brings us to the end of the History of the Class of '49. We have a lot to look for- ward to, but we shall alwavs remember the days we spent as Student Nurses.
