A new class, but with f'i'U old ambitions and cherished hopes to he realized, a new life of usefulness and service, a new feeling of helpfulness to our fellow-men. But did we feel helpful those eventful first days? Emphatically not! We were cordially welcomed, but with nothing in particular to do, we felt very insignificant and useless. How our spirits rose, only to be dashed to earth again during the first few mornings after we were assigned to the respective wards. Soon we gained some feeling of security and strength as we became familiar with our new duties. There came a sense of increasing usefulness, greater re- sponsibilities and even a feeling that we, too, were an integral part of a great institution. We are more and n1ore realizing that Knowledge comes by eyes always open and working handsng and also that we must do valiantly, hope confidently, and wait patiently, if we would attain the standards and goal of professional nursing as symbolized by a diploma and pin from this School of Nursing.

Class of 1928 CLASS OFFICERS President - - - - - - - - GERALDINE SEARCY Vice-President - - - LILLIAN SMEDS Secreuu3hTreasurer - - LUCINA SOHOLA N September lst, 1925, the San Francisco Hospital School of Nursing found its roll call increased to the extent of twenty-six maiden adventurers, eager and willing to steer a straight course through the turbulent waters of the seldom-conquered Sca of Knowledge. The evening of our arrival was made pleasant by a reception, at which every newly converted probe was invited to make merry. Here the '28s were officially recognized as members of the School of Nursing. The address of Miss Kurtz, the Student Body President, served to' give us new incentive for the tasks that awaited us. For four months we sailed onward with the unceasing assistance of our in- structors. Then on December 23rd we were presented with our caps. This was a glad day for us! Now we are beginning to recognize something of the tre- mendous responsibility which lies before us, and we are glad to have an increas- ing share in providing for the welfare and comfort of the patients in our hos- pital. Our instructors patiently and earnestly persist in their efforts to make us good nurses. They are impressing upon us the value of accuracy. VVe are sure our instructors and supervisors all agree that direct lies told to the world are as dust in the balance when weighed against the falsehood of inaccuracyg and that accuracy can be taught.

INHALA'rioN Nursing Procedures URSING educators are all agreed as to the importance of the so-called pre- liminary period of nursing education. They accept the fact that at this time students must be taught the primary principles of nursing tech- 1.rVv..,Uru-x nique which are to be the basis for all future nursing work. How to make the application of this accepted principle of nursing education is the problem which confronts all schools of nursing. Two things are very important in order that the Instructor of Nursing technique may do good work: 1. Suflicient time for instruction. 2. Proper equipment. Our School of Nursing uses one of. the hospital wards as a classroom for the demonstration and practice of nursing procedures. This demonstration ward is if - . f MWEWQE Wg www wwa-1e- W.gawwaRwe'aww5i . ,, .- ' ' : a ti- fi? 22 iff .s 1. ff' I , -e y i.
