I The original science school at Simmons ' i i was a pre-nursing or pre-medical school A I , whose facilities were also available to 'i 'l the School of Home Economics. Not so now. The School of Science has blossomed out into one of the more important schools at Simmons-if one can be said to be more important than another. Graduates of the school are in the enviable position of having excellent, well-paying positions long before they get a degree. Their type of work and their qualifications are such that they are in demand at hos- pitals, as doctor's assistants, and in private and industrial research laboratories. In fact, you might say they were essential industries!

Theirs is not a glamour job, but it is an interesting one. Science School girls begin to specialize in their Sopho- more year-earlier than in any other school. They may choose biology, chemistry, or physics and mathematics for their specialization, but you can be pretty sure they'll end up in a laboratory somewhere. Graduated, they will Hr.

They will go to the South Pacific and to Italy and Africa and Eng- land.

The Anne Strong Club for the Nursing School students met in the Evans game room this year under their presi- dent, Lois Knight. Mary Trail was vice-president, Mary Shaughnessy, treasurer, and Eleanor Filson, secretary. The traditional ceremony of capping took place in the Assembly Hall this year with Miss Wood presenting Caps and the orchestra creating a mood. Most of the meetings this year were spotlights turned on the nurses serving in the armed forces, and the experi- ences of some of them were enough to make any girl en- list tomorrow. The highlight of the year was the New England Regional Conference for Collegiate Schools of Nursing, which was held at 300 the Fenway in our honor. The Sophomore nurses served at the luncheon, and Simmons held its head high for weeks after.

it . . . all inhale it! go to hospitals, city and state health departments, and to private physicians as laboratory technicians. Others will go to the laboratories of industry and of research foundations as analysts and research assistants. Still others will turn up as teachers of biology, chemistry, mathematics, or physics. A graduate course either in chemical laboratory tech- niques or in public health laboratory procedures includ- ing work in the preparation of vaccines and antitoxins is also offered to a limited number of qualified graduates. This course leads to a diploma. The student club of the Science School chose the name Ellen Richards Club after the first woman graduate of M.I.T. Many of the club's customs are unique. For in- stance, their big meeting of the year is a banquet held in a slightly de-fumigated laboratory with beakers, bottles, and test tubes holding the eats. Other meetings are more conventional, being held in the Lounge and with less startling service. Mary Pucci was president this year, Jacqueline Doyle was secretary-treasurer, Virginia Burton was Senior representative, Mary Gaffney was Junior representative, and Miriam Caploe was pub- licity chairman. ,lohn Arrcnd Timm, l'h.Il., Dirt-vlor Unbalanccd by .5 Ellen Richards: Front, Pucci, Doyle.
