Not So Serious AUGUST Home talent? Certainly! Talent in abundance!! XVe discovered in our midst funder the mask of our noble professionj. many capable people who were clever in the art of entertaining. VVith their assistance we had a zestful, enjoyable program. After many hearty laughs, everyone in- dulged in dancing. We were served with delicious refreshments, for which the nurses' home is justly famous. SEPTEMBER The student nurses gave Miss Urch a farewell party. We danced and played games-everyone caught the spirit of fun. However, a high note of sentiment was sounded when Miss Urch was presented with a beautifully fitted traveling bag, and she, in turn, spoke her farewell. A party of welcome for the September Preliminary Class. Each new stu- dent was requested to introduce herself by some original stunt. OCTOBER 'We welcomed Miss Freligh, our new Superintendent, at an informal party, on the evening of the ninth. VVe made merry by singing, dancing, games and refreshments. The traditional evening of October 30th was duly celebrated in our Social Hall, which was colorfully decorated with orange and black, pumpkin faces, cats, witches and dragons. Many and attractive were the costumes! Some were at- tractive for their beauty, others for their hideousness and mystery. Everyone was masked. Wfith the hour of unmasking came many surprises. Many never to be forgotten incidents occurred, midnight arrived much too soon. NOVEMBER The senior play this year was a farce in three acts entitled A Bunch of Funf' It was given 'the evening of November the Eighteenth, at the Century Club. Judging by the enthusiastic response from the audience and the financial returns, the play was a success. However, this success was in no small part due to the excellent work of our coach, Miss Gustafson, and to the timely assistance of our electrician and good friend, Mr. Parks. The Internes gave a dance for the Student Nurses. Decorations, representing their respective colleges, were quite the most elaborate of the year. Unusual enthusiasm was exhibited. Many indulged in the new labor called The Charleston. The refreshments were abundant and extraordinary. DECEMBER Our big animal event, the bazaar, occurred on the fourth and fifth.
