Frolic Time ECREATION of the proper sort is necessary in every walk of life, if health and a well-balanced disposition are to be maintained. fTo say nothing 531. of that girlish figure and schoolgirl complexionfj The temperate climate of California lends itself the year around to al- most any form of sport. We take advantage of this fact and go in for horse- back riding, golfing, tennis, and even roller-skating. fHowever let us warn the on-coming students that the main corridors of the hospital are not considered suitable for roller-skating. Miss Forsyth will verify this statement if there is any doubt about it.J Beach parties are very popular. At short intervals groups of us pack hampers of sandwiches and weiners and go to some lovely spot along the beach. We light fires, roast weiners, toast marshmallows and have a merry frolic. Hiking parties are also a favorite pastime. We start out early in the morn- ing and return at sundown. After our busy hospital life such days in the open are a boon which beggers description. Swimming also holds a favorite place with us. XVe have some good swimmers and divers in our group. If, they had their way they would make life saverst' of us all in another capacity than nursing. Cooking, baking and eating are popular indoor sports. The kitchen in the Nurses' Home is, of all, the most popular and hardest worked room. Special lunches for off-duty nurses, for picnics, etc., all are prepared here. Except for a few hours at night the kitchen is never empty. It is truly a friendly kitchen. So say we all!

Isolated Ideas by An Isolated Qrganism Dedicated to Dr. Burlingame with Apologies NOTE: Ideas given in order of their appearance Idea No. 1: VISITORS The visitors they come and come An interested throng, Yet I can sense their interests wane When they have learned What's Wrong, A mere sore throat then, brought us here: I thought at least We'd find Some smallpox, scarlet, or a case Of subluxated mind! Idea No. 2: FOOD . The food they bring Is quite something To be marveled at: Three pale string beans, V A carrot, greens, And orders to get fat! Idea No. 3: PEACE First the crash of a slamming door, Then the sound of a lusty snoreg Doctors and nurses pacing the floor ' To the thud of the rain and the wind's loud roar, Could a would-be sleeper wish for more To keep him awake, or make him sore? Yet we d-VJ patients, aren't we a bore? Idea No. 4: THE POLY,S PROCLAMATION Veni, vidi, vici!! -The Polymorpho-cried While pseudopoding from the iight With ten dead germs inside. Idea No. 5: THE ANTI-TOXlN'S NEUTRALIZATION That there's nothing left of Toxin Is very plain to see, The Anti-toxin said, But I'm Not what I used to he! Idea No. 6: HORAS I'Ve read my books, I've played my cards, I've talked with all my friends, I've written, I've eaten, Yet Time is not beaten: ,Twill be hours ere the daylight ends! URSULA A.
