September '47, the beginning of the school year found us getting acquainted. l'm Ianie Pratt from Hilo-Tomei from Windward Oahu-Konishi from Kauai. Oh, yes, we shedded the thin layers of shyness very fast for we all were truly Frosl'1ies, and all as green as they come. l Thanksgiving month came and besides its usual bless- ings brought an extra one for us-the introduction to prac- tical work on the hospital divisions. Soon we welcomed December. lt meant our iirst journey to home, sweet home, for most of us during the Christmas holidays. Yes, we worked hard during our preclinical period and on March 23, 1947, we were duly rewarded. With faces glowing with anticipation we solemnly marched up to receive our caps and to pledge ourselves to the glorious purposes oi our profession. The joy oi this day will cer- tainly be remembered. - From April to Iuly we worked diligently with our pa- tients, learning new facts and applying them to the care of our patients. Oh, yes, we felt inadequate in many Ways, but only practice could help us pass this stage. l33l 0 at I Q V 4 . . .4 if 1 ,. ' -M..- v so-'S . -W. D .. 3 . L .

Two years have passed rapidly since We first expectantly set foot into St. Francis l-lospital-two years 'qi hard Work with its encouraging and sometimesvdepress- ing moments. The Iuniors have plodded on in their struggle for knowledge afnd in the struggle have not forgotten character development as well as kindness, understanding and loyalty to others who have needed our help. There is that long road still ahead before We are actually ready to accept the responsibilities of a grad- uate nurse, yet the burden will be lightened because We have learned to know and help each other- We are one in one World. 5321 Miss I.

Fifty-one appre- hensive but happy potential nurses reported for orientation to be accepted formally into the class of '50, Our intro- duction to the faculty which We know to be unsurpassed was short. Our Big Sisters greeted us with a party, providing eats, dancing and an opportunity to circulate among new acquaintances. Early Monday morning we started studies. Anatomy proved to be confusing. We never failed to call the platysma the sternocleidomastoid. Sleepy 3 o'clock Nursing History class. The statement of an ancient belief that love is a disease of the brain formed a conclusion that all those in love should be humored. Ah, but nutrition, nothing could excel that lab- oratory period when we covered our grimacing faces with smiles trying to swallow liquitied junket and pulca drilled muffins. You see you didn't follow directions. The new thrills of uniforms and floor duty caused us to awaken eady on asmgned days and conectcxooked seams, hanging slips and thingarnojigs. Then we anxiously waited for the girls to return and tell us about the patients and helpfulness of the upper- classrnen. K f34l
