Completion of His tory Our last few months as students found us caught in the terminal whirl of senior social activities. Who will ever forget that night in April when we made the radical trans- formation from trim uniforms to the latest street fashions at the Junior-Senior Banquet? This was truly our year for “dress-up’’ occasions. In addition to the Junior-Senior Banquet, an alumnae luncheon was held at the Cleve- land Hotel. It was a few days later that instructors, supervisors, head nurses, and grad- uates entertained us with an informal party. In immaculate student uniforms, we all gave thanks to God at our Baccalaureate ser- vices on April 24th. The address by Dr. Bernard C. Clausen duly impressed us by the rela- tionship of religion to our profession and in our daily lives. Marching to the traditional strains of “Pomp and Circumstance,” we again entered Prentiss Auditorium the following evening. As Mrs. Hall placed the sparkling pin on our starched long-sleeved uniforms, we at last felt we were a real part of this proud profession - nursing. Though this was not the end for most of us and an anti-climax for many, there was nothing to stifle the feel- ings of excitement and solemnity which the occasion incurred. After 1095 days of study and practice, the long awaited Finishing Breakfast. Three vivid red roses, each signifying a year of education; a candle glowing with friendship; and the eager smiling faces, wistful with reminiscence and anticipation, designated this day as the beginning of our role as a graduate. A feeling of sadness momentarily lingered over the group as friends joined hands to sing “Blest Be The Tie That Binds” and “Auld Lang Syne”. A wisp of flame was visible as our blue cross went up in smoke, thus clo sing the door on our student days. Finishing Breakfast 27
