lr e Glam' W2 ll ACH member of the graduating class of June. 1927, of St. Luke's Train- ing School for Nurses, has written and signed a will. It was quite un- expected, but as each and every member of it is either progressing towards imbecility in some way or other, or else is so very eccentric, that a diagnos- tician would term them mentally sick and disabled, one cannot express a great amount of surprise to learn what each one bequeathed. It is as follows: Miss Hlxys, has several pairs of old shoes, which Dame Need has taught her she should not throw away. She places a pair at the feet of those girls in tdire necessity who would be truly appreciative. M ISS Scotfnzto, our one real dog lover, leaves Goo-goo, her thoroughbred collie and his newly acquired family of puppies, to none other than Miss hludy Darnell. Her cosmetics to Miss Common. Miss CURTIS, can skate home no longer, so her ball bearing roller skates she will give willingly to Miss liellar, who will now be able to skate home and back before 10:30 every night. Miss LAWRENCE, leaves all her old uniforms to Miss Schee. She feels they would fit her the snuggest. Miss lX'lCCrREGOR1, hands her well used teapot to another Britisher, Mrs. Mills. Miss DINWIDDJE, feels that her beau, jack, will kinda fret about not being able to park in St. Luke's court after graduation, so she begs of Miss Martin to take pity and mother him a while till he gets used to the idea of having to stop away. Her crystal beads she will give in return for this charitable act. Miss SCHOENDUBY, finds she will have to cease her romantic moonlight rides and turn to sterner stuhf, so her riding breeches and indeed her hack f'Noble' the white charger in the last stablej, to be given to Miss Dempsey. Miss IJYMAN, bequeaths her crushed heart, poi and pineapple to Miss Lindsay. Miss lfIlNl2l.S, leaves her famous figure-forming device and her bicycle to Miss Ing. Mies. Awriis, is overjoyed to hand her black satin evening gown and her rhine- stone tiara to Miss Plym. And as happiness is one thing you don't have to go around looking for, she is delighted to leave her goodly store of it to Miss Pfister. Miss fXNDEl.L, takes pleasure in handing her Girligigs library of Fairy tales to Miss Scott. She feels sure that she is bequeathing her beloved books to the only student who can delve just as deeply into Fairyland as herself. Miss EIVILAY, has willed her set of combs to Miss Mclienzie. l-ler .4'Xge of Innocence to Miss Agnes jones. Miss COLBERT, bequeathed a few of her beans together with her wreath of smiles to Miss Arkinstall.

The fll'St who arrived is now an M. D. Dr. Close is proclaimed as a whiz in O.B. I-le is usually smiling unless called at night, Then he'll scare you to death when he answers his light Dr. Davis arrived in the time of romance NN hen young men and maidens delight most in danceg Of brown eyes and tresses he is very much fond, But he is not so disdainful of titian or blonde. Dr. VVest is quite handsome, but oh cruel fate He is already equipped with a most charming mateg l--le is always good natured, and never does scold Though needlessly summoned for eases untold. There is a Norseman most gallant who is slender and tall Guldager, the blonde, for whom maidens oft fallg He is pleasant, eflieient, and knows what to do In cases routine and emergencies, too. Dr. Groves, once our interne, a practice does own. I-le's earning good money-but lives all alone. Now girls, he's good looking, blue eyes and light hairg l--le prefers brunette maidens to those who are fair. The last of our number appears somewhat gruffg Has a passion for-sodas? and that kind of stutfg Dr. Turner's quite ready when he's had a good night To answer most promptly his long blazing light. My story is fmished-T've come to the endg I hope that this nonsense will no one o'FFendg Don't take me too seriously-for many a time The statements were made just to till out a rhyme. N. S'roNmz.
