The tea was held in the Nurses' Home living room which was beautifully decorated with spring flowers in gold and white, the school colors. Musical selections were con- tributed by noted local musicians. Many long-absent faces were seen that day and everyone had a grand time renewing old friendships, and recalling bygone days. Wednesday, May 14, was the most important day of all, naturally, for it was Commencement. The auditorium was filled to its capacity with parents, friends, and relatives as Doctor Andrews conferred the diplomas at the conclusion of the program of inspiring addresses and beautiful music, lovely gifts and congratulations poured in, and it was midnight before we said goodbye to all our friends and retired as graduate nurses. On Thursday afternoon we were entertained in our auditorium with that splendid movie, Men of Boy's Town. Mumps kept the band of St. Gregory College, Shawnee, from giving us a concert on Thursday evening, but it couldn't keep members of the Glee Club and Dramatic Club at home. A one-act comedy entitled Dress Reversaln and many beautiful vocal and piano selections were presented by the boys. VV'e all agreed that it was a very enjoyable evening, in fact we were all in favor of asking them to come back very often with their excellent entertainment. Sunday climaxed a wonderful week. We attended Mass in our chapel at 8 o'clock. Father Hardesty gave a very appropriate sermon reminding us that even though we had completed three years of work and study and were now nurses, life would not be easy and we still had many battles to fight. Then came breakfast-and what a breakfast it was! We hastily supplied ourselves with the fuel necessary to tramp over the grounds all morning taking snapshots of any photogenic objects coming before our cameras, and we had plenty of energy left to spend the rest of the day on duty. Although we rushed about answering lights, just as we had when we were Freshmen, we wore our graduation uniforms and school pins, so it really wasn't work. We were so deeply engrossed in the thoughts of the future that the day slipped quickly by leaving for us only the memories of our long-awaited Senior Week, with a picnic scheduled for the coming week.
