affd M Ol0A2Cy 2260 Liliha St. Honolulu, Oahu lune l4, 1908 Dear Peggy, Oh, what a day this has been! And how l wished you could have been here with mel l attended the opening of the new- est wing at St. Francis Hospital to- day, and believe me, Mousie, l could hardly recognize our old alma mater. The hospital is now seventeen sto- ries high, and it extends all the way from Wyllie St., down to ludd St., imaginel The nurses' home has 450 rooms, an indoor and an outdoor swimming pool, and l2 tennis courts. Each room has a private bath, a radio, and a maid to do the cleaning. As l entered the new building l met Lt. Ann Hiratani who is stationed at the l76th Army Hospital in China. She flew in on a three day pass. Then l ran into Helen Okamoto, and Eunice Nishimoto, co-authors of the Book-of-the-Month and best seller, How to Become a Good Obstetrical Nurse in 85,000 Easy Lessons. They were busy autographing their book for some students. lune Hasegawa, looking as trim as ever, gave us some information about some of our classmates. lune is chief stewardess on the Pan-Amer- ican-Around the World flights. She informed us that she met loyce Hira- shiki down in Timbuktu. loyce is married to the French Governor there and the natives have named a hos- pital after her, The Hirashiki Hos- pital for Homesick Beachcombersf' One of the biggest surprises came when the little student nurse, who was guiding us through the new building, told us that she was the 28 daughter of Orispina Moranion. Cris- pina is the Superintendent of a hos- pital in her hometown llocos, in the Philippines. The shrill sound of a police siren brought us all to the windows to see who was being escorted to the hos- pital. And it was none other than the new singing star, Kay Koshiyama. She told us that she toured the Orient and made a hit on the new song, Shanghai Musumef' At the end of this month she plans to return to lapan where she will resume her nursing career. Alice Gomi sent a cable from Eng- land bidding aloha to all her class- mates. Alice is governess to Princess Elizabeth's two children. The ceremonies began and it was good to hear Sister lolenta's voice again. lncidentally, Sister has just returned from China, where she es- tablished a new St. Francis Hospital there. She told us that Sisters Walter Damien, Marie Therese, and Laurine were left in charge there. Glancing around we saw Ayano Fujimura trying to keep her six little boys quiet while the speakers were speaking. Ayano is a public health nurse in Lahaina, Maui. Sitting up on the speakers' plat- form and wearing the time-honored habit of the Franciscan Order was Thelma Sur. Thelma is now Sister Mary O'Flagherty, Director of Nurses at St. Francis Hospital. Sitting reverently next to Sister lo- lenta was Dr. Daisy Kaku, a special- ist in Tropical Diseases. She discov- ered a cure for Kala Azar. After the program we saw a crowd of students gathered around Frances Taguchi admiring her latest crea- tions from Paris. Frances is the Super-
