TAPS 1930 -- ? GREETINGS TO THE CLASS OF 1930s M v ? Y WARMEST and most cordial greetings to the members of the Nineteen Hundred and Thirty Class of the Army School of Nursing, and my best wishes for a fe replete with every blessing to each and every one of you! Your interests before coming to us were varied, and your pursuits in life so different, yet now all have a common object, of absorbing thought and devotion — your profes- sion, — so long associated with the highest ideals of womanhood. Walter Reed has been your home. Here you have been given the best, and in return you gave of yourselves, and it is this spirit which cements the common bond that unites us in broad and generous fellowship. Your youth, enthusiasm, and loyalty gave me great happiness when 1 was with you, and now the memory of your bright faces continues to make me happy. God speed and bless you!

TO THE CLASS OF 1930 You have demonstrated by Taps that you believe in a shifting and changing social organization. This youthful spirit of reaching out is most apparent now, but, because I know you, I venture to say that there is not one of you who does not hold sacred the older ideals and traditions of your profession. Because you are alert to present-day movements, I select one for your thought, and it is that of character building. We are now told that character education is being taken seriously. This thought is not new, but brought before us with a different view- point, and with the suggestion that we dress it up differently. Character education has always and will continue to demand a creative adjustment in this changing civilization. Will you think of the whole life of an individual incorporating spiritual values which dominate, and not as a small spiritual compartment which functions on isolated occasions? If I thought you could accept Roback practically as well as theoretically, with his concept of character as a disposition to inhibit instinctive impulse in accordance with a regulation principle, I would indeed be happy in the thought that you would have an effective professional life, and a reasonably happy one. Now this is my real message: Blessed are those who are so concerned with what is going on in the world and in other people that they have no time to check off a virtue score-card for themselves. Faithfully yours, Mary W. Tobin. Twenty-three Army School of Nursing V ' = ■ ■ ■ -■ ■ - ■- : ( ?

ABRAHAM 182 Park Street Canandaigua, New York TO ay is a good scout, quite versatile too; she ' ll talk about the newest book or go out and play tennis with you. She ' ll even learn to swim — . By the way, Ray, isn ' t it time to reveal the fate of the murdered goldfish; What became of the magic box over in Quart- ers Seven that held everything from soup to nuts? (She could make herself anything from a bathing suit to an evening gown out of its contents.) Ray doesn ' t miss anything, if possible. Re- member the time she heard someone say Fleet ' s In and she immediately wanted to know if it were at the Navy Yard or the Seventh Street Wharves, and was quite disillusioned to find it was at the Earle! DELLA A. AUSTIN 215 Thirty-fifth Street Newport News, Virginia T asses from Newport News! I can see her with J a crate of oranges, a big knife, an electric orange squeezer and five empty quart bottles. Pain, ain ' t it? She will be quite an asset to this apartment we ' re going to have, for what would we do with- out Paul around occasionally to move the piano, etc.? Lasses likes purple, or does she? Just what does one do when one gets two rub- ber gloves apparently for the same hand, and the caduces is worn on the left side, really! Strangest of all, she ' s finishing up with six good uniforms! Girls, imagine it! If the rest of us had one decent one we would hoard it and wear it on Class Day. Twenty-five CLARA ELIZABETH BAKER 2315 Argonne Road Portsmouth, Ohio r ' T ibby, it ' s time to get up. Time elapses. Libby, it ' s 6:30!! Later: Libby, aren ' t you going on duty today? About ten minuter later Libby sticks her head out from under the covers and pulls her feet under, (why her feet never freeze remains a deep, dark mystery,) and by seven o ' clock she ' s very much awake, good for at least sixteen hours or easily more. Libby ' s a god sport, a whiz of a tennis player and much in demand at the telephone and in the Rec Hut. Everyone is pretty well satisfied with her; no alterations necessary for general popu- larity. VIRGINIA CAMERON No. 105, Beaumont Apartments 1300 Sacramento Street San Francisco, California ' V 1lN CAMERON, you have a callar in the Rec Hut. Doesn ' t that sound familiar? Is there anyone who has forgotten the fate of Alcibiades, the gold-fish, — the big one that had to stand on his head to turn around in his bowl and who swam nightly in our bathtub? That probie party of Gin and Booze ' s that had an invitation and menu in strictly scientific and professional terms! Booze has put away all such childish things and now it ' s the Georgetown miniature that has the floor. She ' s a good sport and a peach to work with. Co-operation — and HOW! Twenty-six ELIZABETH COCKRELL 1006 South Pittsburgh Street Connellsville, Pennsylvania ITT ave you a little Sis in your home to play your Vic for you when you ' re lazy? Sis is always good natured and she ' s the only known person able to subdue Sibbie, by mere physical prowess, I mean. Who was it anyway that started this Joan Crawford business? Danny ' probably, but any- how she is supposed to be a good replica of the original. Horse! Sit Down! Sis what ' s this about those evenings spent in that nice quiet park at Blockley? We ' re learn- ing things about you every day. Last summer two short honks out front and Sis would leave the Vic on the porch to its own devices and your next glimpse of her would be at breakfast! LUCY FAIRFAX FRAZIER Stephens City, Virginia r ]PiME your light was off Miss Frazier. This introduces Fax. She is from Virginia and we hope no one will carry her back. From many States we came but ' twas Fax who initiated and introduced us to the beau- ties of Our Capitol. Bus rides were the order of the day with Fax as Mr. Cook. We all join in thanking her for putting over the bazaar. We suggest that her own contribu- tions (stuffed animals) would make wonderful parting gifts, especially Woof-Woof. In further reminiscing may we never forget the elaborate spreads after her return from week ends. Her secret passions are :PubIic Health, renting apartments, tennis, salads and snow ice cream. Twenty-seven ELIZABETH EVENSON Cholvin Manor Wilton, Wisconsin TTjROBir days in Quarters Seven! We would all congregate in Betty ' s room and she would don her licle orange apron and make cinnamon toast for the crowd. She could stir up fudge out of nothing at all, and what fudge. She even greased the plate with cold cream one time when butter was scarce, but it must have been a good brand for we are all living and well. Those cold nights when we all paraded out to the sleeping porch and found our beds short- sheeted, we have a faint idea that quite often Betty was the instigator. Betty is frank, vivacious and fun-loving; popu- lar with us all and we will miss her when she goes On to Wisconsin. ' MARY VIRGINIA EVENSON Cholvin Manor Wilton, Wisconsin Thkre ' s no in between with Gin. She either goes to bed at eight P. M. or one A. M., but she is up with the milkman! (No! Not out with him.) She starts her good deed for the day by dragging some of her lazy neighbors out of bed. Come on kids — this is Thursday. Yes, ail day! Snap into it! Booze, it ' s your time to take the laundry over. Gin believes in getting her fifteen-day sick leave yearly. Measles, pneumonia, she ' ll try any- thing once. Remember how we visited her on old 2S ? XVll have to hand it to Gin for her good com- mon sense and her unfailing sense of humor that has brought her up smiling from many trying situations. Twenty-eight MABLE SIBLEY Onamia, Minnesota CATHERN ULLOM O ' Neil, Nebraska T%Tow, let us introduce Sibbie: this litle girl comes from Minnesota where larks sing bass. Yes and canaries too. However, we forgive her all the damage done to personal property for she knows her bird seed and gravel and that ' s not all. Just ask her how to get compensation when you ' re on Public Health; or if she ' s not too tired and you ' re broke she ' ll be your barber, and how! She can cut capers on anyone ' s head. Her own curly hair is the secret envy of us all. Sib really should have gone in for grand opera for the heart-breaking way in which she can render In a Little Spanish Town will make you gnash your teeth and bring tears to your eyes. C urEj we ' ll go to the movies, the library or whatnot. Cathern isn ' t Irish — no not much, but anyway it suits us. She likes antiques, a green room and pink clothes — particularly one article of dress that is exceedingly pink. Everyone likes her from the mightiest down — - even her classmates Peculiar, isn ' t it? Judging from her steady capacity for black coffee, she ' d make a good living ad for Maxwell House and in her Probie Pageant costume, she would do for the painted one as well. Cathern is the only one of us that can impress the officer patients to the extent that they write nice letcers to the T. S. O. about her. Thank goodness one of us is a good nurse Twenty-nine ALISON F. YOUNG 11234 South Church Street Chicago, Illinois CATHERINE BAYA Jacksonville, Florida Oang! Bang! Put on your steel -lined raccoon ' cause here comes A. Y. from — , but we ' ll let you guess! No Virginian ever loved his native State as well as she does Chicago. A. Y. ' s plenty good with a typewriter and it you want to walk, skate, go sightseeing or just to the movies, she ' ll always go too. She believes in signs — Picture ahead, kodak as you go. Her snaps of Walter Reed days would be the envy of any A. S. N. Brown-eyed conductors — Heart Throbs! But best of ail was a phone call or a date with Cadoodle! A. Y. ' s a good nurse and an excellent student but we like her because she is one of our eleven and a good sport on all occasions. ' T ' ll put it under the bed! I absolutely do not want that table and I can ' t even give it away. You sec, Catherine wants a neat room with no useless articles cluttering and spoiling it ' s simplicity and beauty. That ' s just like Catherine herself, she ' s not a fussy person and her wants are few, but, unlike most of us, she has that admir- able trait of knowing what those wants arc, and she usually gets them. You arc indeed privileged if you have ever attended a session in Catherine ' s room when she is holding forth, with great oratory, upon the merits, or demerits, of the most trivial matter. Your time was well spent and you ' ll remember those merry hours as highspots of your student days. Thirty REBA L. BESS Keyser, West Virginia |L_lf i! That ' s Sis, happy-go-lucky and indepen- dent, ready to lend a helping hand and buck up bruised spirits — chasing away the blues and making her patients forget their aches and pains with a cherry word, a dose of medicine or a back rub. Say, do you remember that tricky outfit that Sis used to don preparatory to venturing out on the sleeping porch on those cold winter nights? Toolen socks, flannellete pajamas, ear muffs and mittens, a veritable bear ready to hibernate! Sis is thinking of taking a P. G. course in ad- ministration; Miss R. L. Bess, Superintendent, Hoffman ' s Hospital, Keyser, West Virginia, or can ' t you imagine Sis in Miss lobin ' s shoes? LILLIAN W. BOLT 1117 Vine Avenue Williamsport, Pennsylvania It il is psychologically smitten these days. They say association is a great thing — wc are in- clined to agree! Knowing her aversion to subtleties of any kind, we cannot conceal our amazement at her purchase at the bazaar. Lil hails from Pennsy, but nothing is Dutch to her except probably Chinese. Just ask Lil to supervise any culinary activity if you doubt her domestic ability for I mean she knows her gro- ceries! She is quite generous too, if she thinks you want something in her power to loan or give, it ' s yours. Lillian has her state board book already, maybe she ' s planning to win first honors for the dis- trict and we believe she could. Thirty-one ALICE CLAIBORNE 1021 Harrison Street Lynchburg, Virginia TVJo, THE above is not Florence Nightengale, but one who aspires to as high a level. Al came from Lynchburg, Virginia, the city of hills, a sweet little Southern girl with that school-girl complexion. Three years have made little difference in her and her ability to banish sorrow is uncanny. Al adored receiving gifts from an anonymous philanthropist, especially when these gifts come from the Chinese Laundry! Her kind, sunshiny disposition will long be re- membered by everyone who came in contact with her. Success to vou Al! THELMA LOUISE COLE Westernport, Maryland Tn thl rush during our hrst months here, many of us did not know Thclma very well for she is quiet and unassuming, but after having worked with her we found her most co-operative and effi- cient. She always does her share of the work, does it well, too; and she has a way of getting her patients to like her. Thelma was much in demand at the telephone, especially in Quarters III and, by the way Thelma, does smoke come out of one ' s eyes if one looks clorely enough? Also, just what is the point of grabbing the assisting doctor ' s finger when he tries to use sign language and points? Thirty-two MARY DUFF Lawrenceville, Illinois MARIE VIRGINIA FOUCHE Anderson, South Carolina |Oet up girls, it ' s 6:30!! and immediately there arc sis loud thumps on the floor and you know that the Dorm Crew is up. Duffy was so afraid that we would oversleep that she forfeited her extra half hour of sleep each morn- ing to be the official alarm clock. She is such an all right sort of a girl and mere words could never do her justice. We ' ve never heard of anyone yet that doesn ' t like her. If you want to hear Duffy rave ask her to tell you about the night a hail-storm struck her room or the night she was used as a canvass upon which several artists worked! And, Who ' s the greatest fire-chief this country ever saw? 1ould anything be more delightful than to find the charm of the South and the vivacity of the French all in une jeune personne ? Virginia is the social butterfly of the class. When one thinks of her one usually conjures the picture of a rather small dark-haired girl, garbed in a beautiful evening gown, en route to some social function. Virginia must have a sadistic streak somewhere in her general makeup, for, whom but a sadist could be so cruel as to let a poor Ford stand parked in front of quarters to brave the ravages of winter? Bravo Ford! We admired you the day you refused to run until almost the whole of Walter Reed ' s inhabitants arrived on the scene! Thirty-three INEZ FUNDERBURG 1114 Broadway Springfield, Ohio HELEN M. GRAHAM 2446 East Cumberland Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 3|l kothek buckeye m our midst! Yes, Inez hails from Ohio, and if there are any more there like she is, please rush them on because they are scarce. She is one of our most conscientious, students. Once she is given a piece of work to do it is as good as done. Inez doesn ' t think this is a bit unusual, but we have our own opinions. It ' s a long way back, but does she remember the times in Quarters Three when she used to get up with the birds and have her day well started be- fore the rest of us had even awakened? If hard work and perseverance mean anything, Inez will most certain!} reach any goal for which she strives. r HY the animation on yon brow? What, in love again? KV motto seems to be: What a whale of a difference a little variety makes! At one time K. felt a great urge along musi- cal lines. Her supreme triumph was attained the evening she led a very famous orchestra a la impromptu! Really though, folks, K is more serious than this may seem. She has always cheerfully par- ticipated in school activities, and this, together with her obvious friendliness to everyone, has gained her many a true comrade. To you, too, K we wish the best of luck. Thirty-join MILDRED A. GROSJEAN Scott City, Kansas MARY JEANE HEAD Waverly, Kentucky Tfc TlLUKLD is. a westerner, this brown-eyed dam- scl, built for work and speed. She like Washington beaucoup, in fact she is satisfied to stay here after she graduates. Nothing pleases her more than to dine at Child ' s about twelve o ' clock Sunday morning and eye the people as they enter to join the hungry army. Just watch her face beam when you ask her what color hair she likes best. Of couist ' she ' ll say red. Won ' t you Mildred? Mildred is an all around god student, as capable as they make them, and she ' d certainly get a good recommendation as a nurse from us any day. TTrish eyes, humor and what-not, (what ever that is) . Well, Mary Jeane has it. Clara how, look to your laurels, for this fair young damsel could run you a pretty race. At the present time one does not get more than a glimpse of Mary Jeane, for she is usually on call, either in the O. R. or the Rec Hut. Forsooth! These doctors! Sure, they do keep one on the jump! Now Mary Jeane, don ' t blush. We are merely ragging you a little. Are we jealous? Well, maybe! If the modern adage, Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown of popularity is true, poor girl ,are you not suffering with severe migraine? Thirty-five VERLIE ELIZABETH HEIMSATH North Madison, Indiana MAXINE HOSKINS Lake Mills, Wisconsin S7 erlie ' s spare time seems to be spent in bang- ing on the piano as she terms it. Never- theless she seems quite adept as a pianist, being able to play most any number from The St. Louis Blues to the more difficult selections of Brahms. Many a time she has entertained the world-weary nurses in the Rec Hut. Her chief ambition is to take a P. G. course in E. N. T. Woe unto those poor tonsils for we know her surgical technique is of the super class! Verlie dances, too. Oh my yes Did you see our pageant, Mr. Ziegfeld? No? Well, you missed the chance of your life. It ' s too late now, my lad, for she ' s determined to stick to nursing! A nd then we have the young lady whose early post-probie days were spent in trying to unravel the dark mystery surrounding the art of pushing wheel chairs up inclines. (This was be- fore the time of the new corridors.) Night after night she struggled bravely in an effort to con- quer the laws of gravity, but alas, to no avail! The enigma remains unsolved. Despite this evident determination to solve the, well, impossible problem, she got over it and Tony is now beloved by all. Her sense of humor, wit and good fellowship has earned a much en- vied place in everyone ' s heart for her. More power to you, Tony! Thirty-six ANN MARY JONES Saluda, Virginia AURORA M. KARVI 310 Crawford Street Copper City, Michigan Hpwo ways to flatter Ann: tell her she has gained a pound or that she is psychotic. That takes care of both her physical and mental aspirations. From Ann we always expect the unexpected. We even hope to see her on time, someday, just once! She is probably the most striking personality in the class; she is possessed of real artistic appre- ciation and undoubted talent. From the place cards at our Proby Dietetics Luncheon to Art Editor of our Annual, we have always had to turn to her — and she never fails us — even though she may retard us at times! But is she intelli- gent? More than anybody — HPhey tell us that cold showers are good to end up with, but we never learned the value of ice cold ones in full uniform; perhaps Roe could enlighten us, however. Roe has two weaknesses: sports, any variety but especially ice skating, and sleeping on Gin ' s bed — only to be ruthlessly aroused from her pleasant dreams of sand crabbing down in old Virginia. Those who know her best say she was quite small, demure and solemn three years ago, but we understand this year ' s physicals rates her as stocky ! If you retain any delusion about her being demure, call her Rosie ' ' and, if you ' re brave, stick around and see what happens! Thirty-seven ESTHER KAUFMAN 231 East Main Street Lebanon, Ohio ANNE K. LANDGRAFF 4 Duncan Avenue Crafton, Pennsylvania r HO is that going through that pile of old magazines? Why, it ' s Ek, of course, who else could it be? She ' s merely on her daily search for reading material. Can ' t you just see her, sit- ting on her bed, Turk fashion, deeply absorbed in a book? But if you want someone to go to the Greasy with you Ek is just the one to ask; that is, if you ' re not on the point of starvation, because it always takes her ages to get her nose powdered. Anyway, you can depend on her being willing and good humored about it. Everyone like Ek — both on and off duty. Good goods comes in small packages and she surely adheres closely to the rule. A nnk is a regular dynamo of energy. It ' s a pity we can ' t all lay our burdens upon her shoulders, for I ' m sure she wouldn ' t mind. If only you could put forty-eight hours in the day so that she wouldn ' t slight anyone! If you want to learn any of the latest songs and you are broke as usual, or if you have for- gotten the words, don ' t let it worry you — Anne can set you straight on anything that ' s come out in the last five years. There ' s a friendly word of advice that we want to give her. We trust that the next time she steps out upon one of her numerous engage- ments, she ' ll first look in her pocketbook to make sure that she ' s fully equipped! Thirty-eight MARY MADDEN 1 1 8 Pearl Street Lancaster, Pennsylvania T lak old grandmother Midden, always ready and willing to listen to our love stories — sob stories — and what have you. Regardless of whether she is interested or not, she always has a way of appearing so absolutely concerned or sym- pathetic, or whatever the occasion calls for. Oh yes, she had little secrets all her own, hid- den someplace, but one would never guess. Still waters run deep you know. An earnest observer might see a letter now and then, post-marked Japan. It may be only family interest but we have our doubts. As a student Mary really knows her stuff. Exams? They ' re nothing — never crams — just knows it! FALICE MARKS 1719 C. Street Sparrows Point, Maryland A NY more old silk socks? This was Falice ' s war cry as she proceeded to dye, cut and sew in her campaign for the bazaar. She is one of our most loyal classmates, always ready to help make a go of anything, and she does her bit by everyone. If it ' s just some little thing you w r ant, she probably has it; if it ' s a magazine she usually has a new one; if it ' s some informaton she can usually supply it ;and if you ' re going out there ' s nobody like Falice to make you look your best. That curling iron of hers surely does wonders! Now don ' t you think we owe her a lot? She may be little but she ' s on the biggest girls we have. Thirty-nine MARY MORRIS MARSHALL Front Royal, Virginia ETHEL CECILIA MAC LEAN South Portland, Maine TTTere is Mary. You probably do not know her, for none of us really do. Again still waters is appropriate. Beneath her placid surface are unfathomable depths of loyalty, discretion and candor, which have made her an invaluable friend to those who have a taste for such old-fashioned virtues. In our first impression of Mary we thought of her as a serene sort of person, voicing quaint southern ideas in her inimitable patois. Just a dash of local color right out of the Valley of Virginia. Our impressions have not changed, nor has she. We marvel yet at her languor and re- spect her golden silences, knowing that they com- plete the picture of a very genuine lady. TV TlCKEY even supported activities while she was at home on sick-leave — to wit, her contri- butions to the Bazaar. She has made many more contributions: her music — when did she ever fail to play the accompaniment ? But there was a time when the Sweetheart of Sigma Chi was a battle trump! Tiny, dainty, full of quaint sayings — one would never suspect the streak of stern New England in Mickey, but it ' s there, and not far below the surface. She has ideas of her own and they are usually good ones. By the way, Mickey, was it appendicitis or personality plus that won you the place of honor as Miss Tobin ' s guest? Forty ALICE L. OSGOOD Cazenovia, New York MARY PALMER Milton, North Carolina e wonder if Lucy remembers the night that she stayed over to help the student give some hypos according to Harriet Lane tech- nique? That ' s the way Lucy is — always willing to do anything and always cheerful about it, but never disgustingly so. She makes you feel as though she ' d really like to help you. Vhereas some people are natural grumblers and have to study a thing a long time before they see anything nice in it, it takes a mighty big thing to jar Lucy out of her sunny dis- position. If there were more people like her there would be little truth in saying: The world is made of smiles, sniffles and sobs with sniffles pre- dominating. IDurrrrrr! The telephone — Mary Palmer — Yes, I ' m coming. There she goes — reddish hair, a southern accent and a way that makes the opposite sex fall sooner or later. Such is our Mary. ' To work in the morning, home in the evening, a call and then out for a good time. Always full if pep and ready to go. Mary is a whiz at bridge, loves to dance, and is a lover of the Army! (And HOW!) Her boxes from home are known to all for being generous, everyone around gets to enjoy them with her. With the above qualities we need not worry tor, Mary, we know you ' ll get there! Forty-one LENOR MARY PARRY 73 7 Hamilton Street Allentown, Pennsylvania CATHRYN M. SAGRARIO 3141 Mt. Pleasant Street, N.W. Washington, D. C. T enor is a vivid young person, in every respect modern and delightful. She is our entertainer, on stage and off, and has saved many a day for our class by bringing her dramatic talent to the rescue. When strains of Russian music startle the air, wait for the flash of her boots in a bril- liantly moving, original dance. Applaud and ap- plaud again. Lcnor, we shall be wishing before long that we could bring you back again upon our vision by the mere act of handclapping. May your life always be as bright and interesting as your per- sonality. TTTspanola and how! To look at Kay makes one dream of gar- dens, mantillas, toreadors and moonlight nights echoing with the strumming of guitars. True to her type Kay is a marvelous dancer. This she proved to us in the delightful interpre- tation of Epimetheus in the June pageant. As saucy a boy as ever could be found! Kay has many accomplishments: her dauntless boasting of having the percentage value of Ivory Soap; her ability to get ads is surpassed by none and when things go slowly you can depend on Kay ' s happy-go-luckiness to liven up the gang. Does this ever turn out disastrously? Whv YEAS! WHO CARFS? Forty-two ANNE SAVAGE Birmingham, Alabama ELLA ELIZABETH SITES Charles Town, West Virginia A nne — the girl that invented a new use for the nail file. ' Nuff said? All right, we ' ll quit. If Anne had lived in the days of long ago she would have been a famous oracle, for from her lips come words of wisdom. She can discuss anything — love, philosophy, politics, psychology, birth control and what have you. And she has the courage of her convictions! Anne is a loyal friend and the kind one likes to have. If you need some one to talk things over with, she ' s right there to listen. She has the ambition to want some big things, and the initiative to go after them. We only wish that we could help her pave that path to glory. TpHF: soul of conscientiousness, steadfastness and and adherence to principle came into our class in the form of Libbie Sites. We would like to know anyone that worked harder for the Bazaar. If anything is assigned to Libbie you can be sure it will be done efficiently and promptly. She just mtssed being a red-head but she really isn ' t, altho ' sometimes in the sun we wonder. Would you think Libbie could be a vamp? Well, she is, so hang on tightly to the B. F. for if she gets her hands on him you may be sorry! I hose hands are rather nice ones, too, one of her best persona! assets. Forty-three ELEANOR M. SMITH La Vale Cumberland, Maryland h, Smitty, the ship ' s in! Then Smitty ' 5 not with us so much. The Carnegie Insti- tute is a wonderful thing, but one of its promi- nent members certainly absorbs a great deal of her off time. The Army School is fitting Smitty for two professions. Obviously, one is nursing. Equally as obvious, the other is being manager of an ex- clusive dance pavilion. We ' re trying to give her enough experience now so that she can make her choice immediately when she finishes. We don ' t think there ' s a doubt in any one ' s mind but that she ' d make a charming hostess and an efficient manager. On the other hand we cannot deny that she has the qualifications of an excellent nurse. Smitty, which shall it be? NATHALIE HATHORN SPENCER Birch Knolls Cape Cottage, Maine TVTathalie has a flair for things Spanish, tore- adors and the like; and because she can roll her R ' s so beautifully, at the same time getting just the right inflection upon that broad A, we shouldn ' t be surprised if she takes up the language seriously. But can she take anything seriously very long? For some time Nathalie has been the keeper of the telephone. There ' s nothing quite so complimentary as call- ing the O. D. a Sergeant or even in an emer- gency Private. Nathalie ' s always ready to help with class ac- tivities. She ' ll do it willingly too. Forty -four ESTELLE M. STRICKLER 630 Broadway Hanover, Pennsylvania Ctel ' s off for another Annapolis Hop. We think she might as well stay there and com- mute with Walter Reed. She wouldn ' t have to worry about overnights or one o ' clock then. We know she could get here by seven A. M. — if she didn ' t have to run back too many times for things she had forgoten. Stel ' s always the last up in the morning but the first to head the chow line. Estelle ' s always in a good humor and everyone likes her. She ' s as kindhearted and generous as anyone could be. Talented? Most assuredly. Why it ' s a real talent to have her personality to say nothing of her ability as a pianist or her con- tralto voice that is one of the mainstays of the Senior Choir. ANITA ULKE Base Nine Cape May, New Jersey T ZTay we present to you Mile. Anita, designer cxtraordiniare, creater of Parisienne gowns, wraps and lingerie, cocktail jackets her specialty. Startling creations are her hobby, and how she delights in it all! Anyone in doubt as where to snip this or tuck that simply call on her and your puzzle is solved. She has access to a most re- sourceful TRUNK from which might come — well, most anything. Anita ' s talents are unlimited — artist, chauffeur and as a debater, well, she has more words at her command than she can use, therefore, sometimes getting them slightly mixed! She ' s a likable girl to say the least. Forty-five ALICE CATHERINE WAGGONER 226 Orchard Avenue Lebanon, Ohio Tf Al makes as good a start at everything as she did at Lizzie ' s, her life will certainly be one grand slam after another. And you know, it isn ' t everyone for whom one can predict such achievements. Some one has said Blessed is he who has the gift of making friends, for it is one of God ' s greatest gifts. If that is so Al is thrice blest, for you never heard an unkind word about her from anyone. She never shirks a job, and she ' s always there to do her bit in everything. Much credit is due her for the organization of the Nurses ' Choir. A patient having Al for a nurse would cer- tainly be justified in saying : I don ' t want to get well — FRANCES ELIZABETH WALLACE Wilmington, Ohio r AD someone the giftie gae us, to sae our- selves as other sae us. But it ' s just Bet- tie ' s way of apparently being oblivious of her good points that make us like her so well. Some day when someone says: You ' re good, Bettie sur- prise them all and say: Good? I ' m just per- fect! Leave it to Bettie to make a success of anything she attempts. Really her impersonation of a monkey on a string, or a person distracted by- surrounding circumstances, are epics in our dra- matic world. Her unfailing sense of humor has saved the day in more than one unpleasant situ- ation. Forty-six ANN WATSON Ellenville, New York r iLL she take state boards, or will she not? When we ' re all being retired we still ex- pect to see Ann frantically running around trying to find out her finishing date, and if she ' s eligible for state boards in November, May or any other time. Of course, they may marry her off in the meantime, then it won ' t matter. One day Ann burst into poetry: What lips these lips have kissed and missed! The signifi- cance is lost on us as that ' s as far as she got, but we all thought it was about far enough! Everyone should have a creed; Ann has one: I must have a finishing date; give me a finishing date, or at least come on out on the back porch with me! MARY PAGE WILDER Aberdeen, North Carolina 7-iola mates, THE CAPTAIN!! Mary Page has finally piloted the good ship Class of 1930 to its last port. Mon Dieu, what a trip! What storms and mutinies she had to contend with! Through perseverence, executive ability and sympathetic understanding this feat was accomplished. To her, mates, goes the Croix de Guerrre. But before we go, here ' s a secret: Page is a poetess! (Exclamations of surprise.) Yes, and she is really very clever. Remember this for some day we shall be proud to say: Oh, yes, that new sonnet by M. P. Wilder. She was our class president at Walter Reed. Best of luck. Page, and may there always be plenty of mint juleps served on your veranda in the sunny South. Forty-seven VIRGINIA M. WILLIAMS Gwynn, Virginia Virginia, so full of pep and always there with a laugh, come to us from an isle in the Chesa- peake Bay. They say: The midway garden spot in the Atlantic. No wonder she likes crabs and oysters! Who can forget those early days in Quarters Three, when first thing in the morning and the last at night, Gin ' s sweet contralto voice could be heard through the corridors, bringing us all the latest song hits. ( I still have you, Sonny Boy. ) When it comes to making dogs, the calico kind, why even the U. S. Capitol is adorned with one of her special designing. Virginia ' s virtues are numerous, but her pa- tience while waiting for Roc is most astounding! GRACE E.

Her uneqaulled ability to make and sell caps has been the nucleus of a successful an- nual fund. A little nonsense now and then is relished by the best of men. So with Grace. They say she became so disturbed one evening that it was neces- sary to put her in a cold pack. Here ' s something of interest to members of the I. V. N. S-: Have you heard of Grace ' s becoming a vegetable vender at Center Market? (while waiting to hear from State Boards.) We have long wondered about the onion scent and the po- tato sprouting in her room. She believes in get- ting an early start! Forty-eight TAPS 1930 •bq .._■■■■ ■ ■ - - -. : -- —Of A MESSAGE FROM THE CLASS PRESIDENT For three years we have worn in our insignia the lamp. Be that lamp in tribute to Florence Nightingale, and thus the sign of the scientifically educated, modern nurse, — be it the age-old symbol of the student, — be it the torch of new standards, forward- looking ideals, — it is equally appropriate on our uniform. Those three approaches to nursing have the foundation of our training. However, the chief significance of our insignia, — to all of us, — is, simply, This is our School. Now we will wear the lamp no longer, but surely our insignia, with all that it means, has in some way grown into our hearts. Our school is the realization of the cherished dreams of those splendid women who have taught and guided us, and in each one of us is demonstrated again its success or failure, — the weight of our testimony on one or the other side of the balance. And as long as we live we will in some measure reflect on our School. We may not forget that it is our sworn obligation and our privilege to protect its fair name, even if negatively, just by casting no blot on it. Though some of us may never nurse another day, professionally, those, too, have an obligation, — of appreciation for the full and stimulating years that we have spent here. It is as though we have spent a life-time together, we who for three years have been friends and comrades, — who have stood together in the presence of death, — who have seen the awful solemnity of birth, — and who have met so many phases of life between, in illness and in health, — and we have been all along, as it were, hand in hand. Surely this lays upon us a great bond: of unity, of loyalty to each other, to those who in their own persons have exemplified all that is finest in our profession, and to the ideals that we have been taught to honor. Now as the Spring comes again, even in the glory of the cherry-blossoms there will be for all of us some sadness, that this is our last time, and I would urge you to hold to your hearts the sights and sounds that we have loved. They will be simple things, I know, — Summer evenings, and girls singing on the steps, — long walks in the Park on bright Fall days, — the still beauty of snowy mornings on the Post, — the lovely cycle of our gardens, — bridge games in the Dormitory, dances in the Recreation Hut. These are the things that, in the years to come, will bind us to each other and to the School we love. Devotedly yours, Mary Page Wilder. Forty-nine CLASS HISTORY Boon CV Army School of Nursing % «r= •■--■- ■■■- ■ ' ■ ■ ■ ' ■ ■■== ? CLASS HISTOKY WE CAME! In the year A. D. 1927 — which we once thought everyone at Walter Reed would remember always because of its new addition of important personages — from all points of the compass and elsewhere, came youth — joyous, expectant, ready to conquer the world, and having that air of importance which in their minds meant I am now a member of the student body, I want recognition and I mean to have it . (Which air was soon broken by instructors, upperclassmen, and members of the group which we first thought were internes because they were dressed in white but were later informed as to their status.) Two sections — those entering in March, numbering eleven in all, had become accustomed to the army routine and atmosphere had attained the thing which each probie thinks is the impossible — the white cap — and were affixing the A. S. N. to their signatures when the October members put in their appearance. AH! WE CAME WE SAW! The graduates in white, many with black bands, a few who later became our Big Sisters ; the students in blue, the occupational and physiotherapy aides in medium and deep blues; men in white hurrying hither, thither and yon with the pillowcases over their shoulders which served as bags for various and sundry purposes; men in regular army uniform with straps over the shoulder — later we learned they were officers but at first they all looked alike to us ; the low grey temporary buildings which served as wards, nurses quarters, laboratory, etc.; the foundations for the new buildings; the formal garden in all of its autumn beauty with its winding paths overshadowed with trees. SO, WE SAW WE CONQUERED! It did not take us long to get into the march, especially after we found the way to the mess hall. First we learned to know our classmates and affix nicknames to a few, some sweet and refreshing like Lasses and Gin. Then came physicals — a mystery to all — and oh my, how they were dreaded by each and every one, and how PERfectly abSURD to feel that way. Physicals over, we were given our daily routine — 6 a. m., setting-up exercises on the tennis court or on the cinder parking road. And have we prayed for rain because it meant just a little longer to sleep! Classes during the day, and where is there one of us who can forget our anatomy class and our precious little pigs? And shades of chemistry and bacteriology! And dare I even bring to mind the Friday afternoons of six weeks spent in the Post Surgeon ' s office with Miss Peters, where we each learned what a hypodermic syringe looked like and how the needle felt. Then of course being with the army we needed to know how to drill, so drill we did. Can you do it now? Attention About Face Right Dress . And how discouraged or digusted Lt. Billick must have been when the command Squads Right was given and we did the very opposite — or probably worse by not doing anything at all but run into each other. Fifty-two TAPS 1930 va - ■ — — W But in those early days it was not all work — Pink teas given by the alumnae to welcome us, in October a boat ride down the river to Fort Washington by the gracious- ness of Chaplain Oliver, a Hallowe ' en party in the Rec Hut with witches n ' everthin ' , leave of absence for some at Thanksgiving and for others at Christmas (and some needed it to cheer them up), the formal opening of the new Red Cross building on Thanksgiving Day with a tea, and in December the Senior dance. And of course we must not omit the joy and perhaps fear at our first days on the wards. The first of January, 1928, saw the latter half of the class still working hard striving to attain the first mile post of the race — a cap. But days passed, and probably too quickly — as we now look back, with the cap mounted on our heads, each in her peculiar style — we came to the parting of the ways. We were separated, never to again be united as a class. Some went to Philadelphia General for pediatrics and others to Johns Hopkins. Then came St. Elizabeth ' s and Public Health. Is it possible for us to forget our trips to Atlantic City while in Philly , Leo ' s and the State in Baltimore, the Point in summer at Lizzies , the beauty of the fourteen-inch snow and the discomfort of the heat, coupled with the annoyance of how to keep the tokens straight while on District? Of course we had some very exciting and memorable times on the Post, especially when the whistle would blow in the wee small hours of the morning. Just ask any girl who lived in Quarters 2, 3 or 7 what happened one morning in early December about four o ' clock when the shrill sound of that whistle penetrated the atmosphere and awakened everyone from a peaceful slumber. The beginning of 1929 found us just a little more confident of our ability and feeling a bit more important, and even more so after commencement week when we were informed officially that we were seniors and were excused from roll call, which meant just ten additional winks of sleep in the morning. In April we received our sacred class rings and we celebrated by giving a dance in the Recreation hut. We had a picture of a very large ring with a light behind the stone, on the balcony rail. During the course of the evening Sgt. King made an attempt to take a flash picture. It may be that we, were not used to being in the lime- light (or flashlight); but, whatever excuse we have to offer, the picture was not much of a success. Time began to pass rather rapidly after commencement and our thoughts were turned toward the finances of our year book. For a while we were quite discouraged but our hopes were raised when the annual senior bazaar was put over so successfully. And let us not look with scorn upon the other activities for the benefit of 1930 Taps. In November Chaplain Oliver began holding church services in the Red Cross instead of the Y. M. C. A. and he asked our class if we would assist with the music — thus the first nurses ' choir was established. Our hopes are that the new chapel will find a goodly number in the choir loft. New Year ' s Eve, and we were ushered into the year which at one time seemed so far away and meant so very much to us — and still does; but now that it has arrived, are we glad or sorry? . Each member of the class must answer this question for herself. Exciting moments in Quarters 2 were many but one which caused the great commotion in January was the afternoon when the nurses ' mess hall kitchen caught fire. Not much damage was done except a few wrinkled clothes from a hurried packing, and we failed to have cabbage that Saturday evening for supper because the chemicals got in it. On January 27, Miss Tobin entertained the class in her apartment in Delano Hall. Fifty-three Army School of Nursing %G = == ? We played bridge so fast that Miss Thompson remarked it made her dizzy to watch us. (Imagine Miss Thompson getting dizzy over a game of cards after having seen her in the O. R.). We enjoyed the evening and were quite reluctant to leave, but there is an end to everything. Our time is about up; we have been broadcasting for almost three years and we must sign off. As we meet commencement, changing blue to white, having overcome the difficulties and obstacles which loomed so large before us in the far past of 1927, we look back over our three years of experience feeling a regret that we must leave our school. We wish to thank those who have so patiently borne with us and rendered assistance when it was necessary, during our journey. THUS WE HAVE CONQUERED Farewell A S. N.! G. E. Y. ' 30.

Dearest Estcllc: You ' ll no doubt think I am out of my mind, but I must tell you the dream I had last night about our old Class of 1930. I was arriving in Washington, thrilled in anticipation of seeing the dear old place again, and seeing or hearing news of our classmates. Three years of separation! I went to the Hotel near est the Station for the night, and imagine my surprise on being met by the Hostess, — Betty Wallace! After our greeting I learned that Al Waggoner is Chief Dietitian in the same Hotel, while Inez Funderburg, Verlie Heimsath and Thelma Cole all have apartments there, all three having gone into the Civil Service. At noon the next day upon going downtown, whom should I see in the Earle Drug Store but Lasses Austin and A. Y. Young, — of course I made a bee-line for their table. It was evident that they were with the I. V. N. S. They informed me of how hard they were working supervising the Army students. They also told me that Sis Cockrell, Sibley and Cathern Ullum were down in Kentucky doing work among the Mountaineers. Perhaps an occasional Revenue Officer keeps them entertained, — who knows? Walter Reed seemed so beautiful, — you should have s een it. I met Lucy Osgood, though she is leaving soon to be married. Libby Sites was on night duty, so I didn ' t see her, but she is due to be transferred soon, and is going to the Philippines. Ann Landgraff hailed me as I was coming out of Quarters No. 1. She was certainly proud of her gold bar. Down in the Munitions Building, on the Staff of the A. N. C, was Alice Claiborne, directing the moves of her various classmates. With the transfer of several Supervisors from Walter Reed, Aurora Karvi and Ginny Williams had filled their places, but I didn ' t see them, as they were on leave in Virginia during my visit. They must be doing admirably well by Al ' s report. But what do you think? Kay Graham is now divorced, and has the position of housekeeper at the Nurses ' Home, St. Elizabeth ' s, where she is administering affairs in accordance with ideas she formed during her stay there as a student. She told me that her old side-kick and moral support, Mary Page Wilder, is now safely settled on a farm in North Carolina, putting her Pediatrics to good use on her ever-growing family. Then in my dream 1 sought Sis Bess. She was in Keyser, West Virginia, at her brothers ' hospital, acting supervisor. Eck Kaufman was X-Ray technician! Why my dream should have carried me next to New York I do not know, unless to see some more of the class. Anyway, K Sagrario and Lenor Parry had made the Follies , and Fax Frazier and Ann Jones are foremost authorities on feminine apparel, and located on Fifth Avenue, if you please! Ray Abraham, Libby Baker and Betty Evenson, instead of joining the Army to see the world, are employed by the American Steamship Lines. What in the world do you suppose Virginia Evenson is doing? Living on Park Avenue, keeping a spinsters ' establishment, without masculine assistance. How times do change! Tony Hoskins lives with her, and is employed by a scale and electric-reducing-machine company as a demonstrator. Micky MacLean, out of all our forty-eight, has really made a name for herself. I heard her play in concert, and she held me spellbound. Her audience all seemed equally responsive. Sixty TAPS 1930 ■aq — = -.■ ■-■ ■ .. ■ . ■ sa s sss . . txf My thoughts became diverted somehow, — maybe I turned over in my sleep, — and only a buzzing sound was heard. Then, Golly, I heard someone say, Heh? and there is only one person in the world who can say it just that way, — Mary Madden. With her was Catharine Baya, both Chief Nurses on Lindbergh ' s Trans-Pacific Airship Lines. Grace Y oung ' s voice was then heard. She was making a speech, campaigning the Eastern States for nurses for the various Child Welfare Associations, while Nat Spencer was her secretary and chaperone. Lil Bolt and Mary Jeanne Head are both married. Virginia Fouche, after a fragrant romance, chose her help mate from the Army Medical Corps, as did Mildred Grosjean, who fortunately is stationed quite near her home, at Ft. Leavenworth. Vir- ginia Cameron is married, too, and lives in California. Mary Palmer ' s weak spot for the Navy we all remember, — and she is married to a Lieutenant Commander, just now at the Asiatic Station. Somewhere in the Rockies, Duffy was hanging out her twin daughters ' wash, having exchanged her brilliant future for the love of a Canadian Royal Mounted Policeman. She seemed divinely happy. Her one-time neighbor in Quarters 2, Smitty , is doing a little charity work between her social engagements, — but then, Smitty was always known for her deeds of kindness. I ' m now wondering if I forgot anyone I saw, — it is so hard to remember every detail. I appreciated your newsy letter last month, and it was fine to hear about Ann Watson. She ought to make a good Executive Head of the American Nurses ' Associa- tion. As for Anne Savage, — well, she is an adventurous, pioneering sort of person, and doubtless enjoys her assignment to South America. By the way, one of Falice Mark ' s chain of Beauty Parlors opened this week in Cape May, but I haven ' t seen her yet. Mary Marshall was down to the shore this past week- end. She is doing Private Duty and certainly enjoys it, but she is going to be married. Do write whenever you find time. I enjoy your letters, — they bring back memories. With love to you, Always, Anita. -=C Sixty-one TAPS 1930 Vi== — - - — ■ - - -. - ■- ' tV TAPS Wc might have roamed the wide world o ' er, And sought adventure far.

W PHILADELPHIA GENERAL HOSPITAL T he excitement of packing for our first af- filiation! Remember what a time we had decided whether to go a la B. O. or Penn- sylvania? All was peaceful, and sticky, due to many varieties of candy and what not, when suddenly the baggage man appeared. He was certain that he was slowly dying, due to an A. S. N. trunk. We all went out — located the ether and duly dropped it into the Delaware! We hope the fish didn ' t get ether pneumonia! They didn ' t expect us that evening so we just parked around anywhere. That first evening in the big dining room! All those strange caps, and we could have seconds on dessert! That night we were duly initiated to the sound of the famous Blockley Bell. In the morning we moved to Army Alley — three in a room — pigeons outside — internes across the way (we had to be careful about the shades.) We didn ' t like our bathroom, so nightly there was an exodus of the Army to the new one, and Singing In The Bathtub had nothing on us! Fairmont Park was lovely that spring; we always meant to visit the Zoo, but why waste 3 5c when the only regurgitating goose in captivity was in Blockley ' s own back yard? Can you ever forget Sophie Ringe ' s hot fudge sun- daes, the Waffle Shop, the feeds we had in our rooms when we got a box from home or those Karo Syrup Specials we concocted? Speaking of nice things, weren ' t the Leonnards about the nicest folks that ever lived? We lived from Sunday to Sunday, hop- ing we would be among the lucky ones. One day ten little nurses hired a Drive-Ur-Self Buick and went to Atlantic City. Words are inade- quate to describe that trip. Winnie got us all home safely, by midnight, too! I don ' t believe the housekeeper was very enthusias- tic about Lady Reed affiliating there, and wasn ' t it funny the time they made Betty take the tetanus antitoxin? Those steps in Old Kids when you had your crates of formulas, and that elevator-that-stuck in New Kids. Can protein milk be made without curdling? I wonder.

When I came back from Munie, a month after all of you had come home, Army Alley was deserted and quiet. For the first time in years there weren ' t any Army Girls . I believe they really missed us; a lot of the Blockley girls told me they did. They said Children ' s could never have quite the same at- mosphere and no matter who lived there it would be Army Alley till the last of the ones that knew us were gone. How we used to hurry to get out of the dining room early at breakfast time, but sometimes we were late enough on Mondays to hear them sing: Our Alma Mater, dear Blockley, school of high as- pirations, To the bright gold and blue, we shall ever be true, In the years that come and go. Your high standards we ' ll treasure, and endeavor to measure. All your aims and ambitions, dear old Blockley, our school. We were in Old Kids for three weeks then we moved to the new hospital. What a job! Observation! Just the word brings crowded mem- ories of double frills galore, Koeplik Spots, liver, the pneumonia porch, potassium citrate and pickaninnies by the dozen. Baby Ward with its Premie Room, T. B. Porch, the Big Ward and various isolations. Who could ever forget Jimmy Stanley, Bobby Wilson or Carl Craig, to say nothing of the cart with its blue paper and those everlasting formulas q.l.h., p.r.n., s.o.s., f.o.b. and what have you? Geraldine was a dear on Surgical, and how about Jo- Jo on Skin? (Reply was censored) Bathing Ba- bies was the favorite indoor pastime of students on those wards for one never quite finished.

Miss Elsie C. Lawler, Superintendent of Nurses, fohns Hopkins Hospital. TAPS 1930 VI- . — — ==ttf JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL June 1, 1928 — the first affiliation of the Army School of Nursing at the Harriet Lane Home for Invalid Children at Johns Hopkins Hospital. The Class of ' 30 was the first to affiliate there, although four of the Class of ' 29 were in the first group. Feeling again as we did the first time we left our Mothers ' apron strings, we left our dear old Walter Reed for three long months, in search of more knowledge, — Pediatrics! Ariving at Hopkins, were were shown where we were to live. Later we were received by Miss Lawler, and then taken through the Wards. Some of the Class lived in the old Nurses ' Home and Army Alley, while others lived in houses on Wolfe Street. Such times and fun the walls of those rooms could relate! The Ward work began by a supervised feeding. One felt that the babies were strangling every swallow; one looked like a Christmas tree after feeding an older one spinach and beets when he had other ideas. Regular Ward work then began, patients assigned to each Student. Feeling that it could never be done, the work was started with the aim of finishing by nine o ' clock. Helen Brooks! It is time for your bath. Get from under that bed! Here, — you mustn ' t crawl under the covers, — Heavens! she ' s at the foot of the bed! It is nine o ' clock — hurry! At last that is over! Inspection of our work! Beds to make over! Rescrubbing of tables! Now hurry to the next duties, — treatments and feedings, — getting in and out of gowns! What is that funny odor? Quick to the Utility Room before those things are boiled to a crisp! Time for q.h. waters? Why the crocodile terms, Jimmy? Wait! Wait just a minute! How we all loved little Jimmy with his big tummy! Oh, a new patient is coming up! Another is due at the clinic! Has all the charting been done? Wiggling, crying, laugh- ing, fuzzy-headed babies, — it was all so new and different, but soon we helt at home. Night duty! Roll call at 10.50 P. M. Hurrying through corridors to relieve the 7-11 nurses. Rounds made with the Senior Nurses. Babies tucked in one more time, only to be awakened in another hour for q.h. water. Everything quiet, then a scream, — only to look out to find a man hanged in a window of Phipps, the Psychiatric Clinic next to Harriet Lane. A little later a trip through dark corridors with the night super- visor, — to the Morgue. 4 A. M. and time to start breakfast, — breakfast served, — dishes gathered up and supplies put away, — the Ward cleaned up! 7 A. M. to bed, and what a wonderful feeling! Milk Room and Dispensary were a change from Ward Duty and all of us enjoyed it. Off-duty hours were spent in numerous ways. Tennis, — playing or watching the Doctors ' games, — walks through Phipps Garden, Leo ' s, the State, just a block away, trips into town, and jaunts to Bay Shore and Sparrows Point for dips in the Bay, during the hot Summer days. Friends were found among the Hopkins girls and the other affiliates, but the Army girls hung together. We shall always shudder to think of evening duty, 7-11; q.h. waters, night duty, — then on second thought we are glad to have had it all, the opportunity for receiving such experience and technique.

Hebephrenia unto Catatonia, upon a very high point of land jutting out into the River Potomac: Lend me your ear, O my Catatonia, while I instruct you concerning many things that pertain to the territory wherein you now find yourself. Indeed I am sorely grieved to thus behold you in complete disorientation; albeit you are but newly come from the western limit of that great city which spreads out below us in panorama. Here we are as in a separate city, circumvented by a very high wall in which are three gates for entrance, and, the gods willing, for exit also. It will be well with you, O my Catatonia, if you guard carefully your ways, and it behooves you to be exceedingly careful of your unconscious. For of all the inhabitants of our republic, they in this vicinity are the most deeply versed in the arts and methods of psychoanalysis. And how came it about that no rumor was brought to you concerning Sigmund Freud? O most ignorant maiden! From that fact it is easy to be seen that certain natural barriers have cut you off from the concourse of great minds; and you have had no access to the complexes and repressions of our civilization. For the Freudians have hastened hither and thither, sending couriers unto the ulterior parts of the con- tinent, and some even have made so bold as to cross over the Potomac and penetrate into the land which slopes from thence southward. As yet, no report has been brought informing you that, according to Freud, sex is absolutely necessary! Nor of this fact neither, that Jung is the proud father of the Inferiority complex. Now, of all the complexes within our knowledge, that of Eodipus and that of Electra are by far the most commonly spoken of. The former was brought about by a youth unduly attached to the apron-strings of the family, the latter by a maiden unduly attached to the purse strings of the family. These attachments are known also in our language as fixations, Eodipus having a to-mater fixation, Electra a to-pater fixation. Et Cetera, reductio ad absurbum, O tempora, O mores Hispaniae! But let me now make an end of speaking, for the sun, which ambitiously arose at the first light, will in a short time disappear behind the embankments of another camp. In the interim, O my Catatonia, gird your waist with the chain of your keys. And let me not ever see it around your neck, lest an irresponsible one should happen upon you by chance, and finish you by strangulation, either imagining you his wife or seeing in you a likeness to his mother-in-law. Now let us depart hence toward the Cafeteria for I call into memory a multitude of beefsteaks, unsurpassed by any, and an unlimited number of olives! Gird then your chain about your waist — loosely!

They are so jolly, sympathetic, kind and gen- erous, with lovely dispositions, witty and lively wherever they happen to be. St. Elizabeth ' s Nursing School cannot say too much for the Army, as it has given us one we love and admire more each day, our Superintendent of Nurses, Miss Edith M. Haydon, also her Assistant, Miss Young. So come on, little Army band, I ' ll always be ready with open arms to receive you. With love, Fannie Bruce, Acting Matron Nurses ' Home, St. Elizabeth ' s Hospital Seventy-four PRDBIE DRY5 □ UR ELEVEN Miss Gertrude Bowling, Director, Instructive Visiting Nurses ' Society. TAPS 1930 PUBLIC HEALTH W hen we were Probies, all sorts of ideas filled our heads as to just what this affiliation held in store for us. And now our curiosity has been satisfied. After being at Walter Reed for two years we had come to our last affiliation. That first day! — the long ride to the Star Building, trying on of coats and hats, the choosing of our District, and then our first actual experience in the field with a Public Health Staff Nurse! just how did they remember where the alcohol bottle, the soft soap, the ther- mometer, the paper napkins, the towels, and so forth and so forth came from, and how did they all fit into that little 2x4 black bag, supposed to weigh only seven and a half pounds? Miraculously, they did, as we found out next day. Then, after we had mastered our bag technique what a brave face we wore starting out on our first day alone! Our spirit of adventure and love of the unusual was certainly to be satisfied, and after feeling one ' s way up and stumbling on dark stair- ways one whole day we felt eligible for almost any organization of sleuths. Friday afternoon excursions were always a diversion, and what interesting places we went! And afternoon classes, not only stimulating and provocative of argument, but what a rest to the tired feet that had tramped District all morning, but hadn ' t yet become used to it. We shall always remember affiliations from Public Health, when we wore civilian clothes to do our work, and felt like a lady and a Social Worker! Who hasn ' t heard Gin ' s story? How she took three different busses, each time returning to her original starting point, but eventually getting the right transfer, riding as far as the line went. But to her bewilderment, she discovered that her client lived somewhere in a cornfield, or on a hill. Of course the hill was tried first, but to no avail. The cornfield being next in order, it proved more profitable. Gin arrived home, well, — sometime, but who can say that Gin doesn ' t get her man? C. E.

There is just one question we want answered before we leave: What is 21 going to be when Major Lehman has gone? The class of 1930 was the first entire class to have its Obstetrics at Walter Reed, and thank goodness we all got through before Major Lehman was transferred! Twenty-one is many things beside the Obstetrical Service. For one thing, it is the water-tight excuse, — on call to 21 — and that call lasts three months. Anything and everything can be sidestepped for the evenings of that time, — not only can, but must. It is also the happiest, most informal service on the Post, and no one concerned is really sick. We learned a lot, — or thought we did, — about the psychology of early parenthood. Some of it comes under Grandiose Delusions , and a lot of it under Situation Psychoses. But the complete non-repression of our resistive little charges in the Nursery was the real revelation, — that and their individuality. Don ' t ever believe that a Mother doesn ' t know her child from all the rest, — its been tried. Whole days we spent making supplies, down in the Utility Room, days when we talked sixteen to the dozen all our time on duty, with never a long breath. And who could forget Duffy ' s doll? It was made of a suture pad, a sponge, and a 4x4, with a face painted in mercurochrome! Yet the covers vanished into the big bag, filled, in spite of all the sociable hours. Before we leave the subject of 21, we want to give special mention to the young lady on night duty at the time, who, on going upstairs with a tray of nourishments, fell up with twenty-four glasses of chocolate malted milk be-showering her. She broke every glass but one. We want to congratulate her on that one glass, but in the same breath hope that life won ' t always give her such a deal. But take heart, all you who are leaving your time in 21, — for Public Health awaits you in another year, with dozens more of little babies to care for, and loads of doting mothers. Eighty-one APS 1930 Vet -- ? THE G. The roster is up, — one listens and hears, Oh, I ' m scared to death! I go to the O. R. tomorrow! ' ' Then morning comes, as mornings have a habit of doing, and the thrill of a life-time begins. Big white room, gray observation benches for the onlookers, huge lights to be adjusted to any needed angle, tables and glass shelves covered with instruments and sterile goods, — the whole aspect is one to awe the beginner. Nurses scrub, tables are set up with gauze, needles, instruments and what-have-you, and all is accomplished so quietly. At nine o ' clock comes the rush, — doctors with heads and faces covered by caps, gowns tied, gloves put on and patients prepped with two iodines, — four alcohols, — one dry, please. ' ' They are ready once more. All that is heard is the occasional crunch of a glass tube in the jaws of a bulldog, — sponges please , — and you jump back as a hand is thrown out to release a soiled piece of gauze, which though now much changed you recog- nize as one of the 4 ' s or 9 ' s you so painstak- ingly made day after day. You sigh, and then Colonel Keller ' s voice breaks in on your musing, Will you wipe my face, please, Miss? — Hold the light over the incision. A mad scramble for hot water when a voice says, Hot flush, please. Colone! Keller Through all this you ocacsionally hear a muffled voice saying, Blood pressure 110 over 68, pulse 120. Later this voice is identified as that of Miss Flewwelling, who is buried under a sheet, administering the anaesthetic. We often wonder that she doesn ' t succumb to her own medicine! But speaking of finding someone, Miss Thompson is first here, then there, and everywhere at the same instant. — And still we gazed, and still the wonder grew, that one small head could carry all she knew. Operations over, instruments scrubbed, saline filtered, — tired girls leave the inspir- ing scene,— a new heaven where Colonel Keller is God — and go home, while the ones on call pray for all the sick and suffering, Give them a safe night ' s sleep in their own beds.

Now open your mouth and relax Major Schlanser is heard to say, And the patient, half frightened at every move, Complies in his nervous way. We have learned the meaning of mastoid, Laryngotomy, submucous, — all! But the greatest of these is technique — From which we are all apt to fall.

This serves as your introduction to the Diet Kitchen. There ' ll be a sick feeling in the region of your solar plexus, brought on by the fear the Supervisors may have been under the impression that all the students had a moderate knowledge and ability in the Domestic Arts. There ' s a tendency to reflect on the aid you rendered in these arts during your growing years, — which amounted to almost nil, aside from drying a few dinner dishes on Sunday evenings. If camping days, when you gladly did anything but cook, could be lived over again, you ' d assume the title of chef, with all its burns, — both personal and to the food, — just to get the fundamentals to serve breakfast on Ward — in the morning. But life has called a halt on your ignorance and unwillingness. There is the notice! Then Pride does something wonderful for you. You decide to assume the role of experience and skill, for self-protection, anyhow till those trays are out. All the details, including setting the alarm clock, are done the night before, because dashing out when the stars are still bright needs preparation. On walking into the kitchen, it is well to speak, but speak just moderately pleas- antly, to the K. P. To indicate that you know to speak is the thing to do, but most important is to get those trays served, and served perfectly. Your first happiness will come when you realize that the kitchen force has been serving trays so long and so well that all the mighty influence you came prepared (or unprepared) to exert will not be necessary. If you will keep out of the way as much as possible and save all questions you have in mind until after the trays are out, that will help some. Making rounds will not prove as embarrassing as you feared, as the patients are usually considerate, your first day, and will say nothing worse than a few suggestions to the best way to get the soft but still cooked. They seem to understand. Your breakfast after seven, with the others from the Diet Kichen, offers a deviation before going to the Main Kitchen. Low Carbohydrates, Diabetics, Reducers, Low Fat Diets, — all so far out of your usual train of thought that there ' s a confusion as to where to begin the next morning. A brief moment to go for your mail is usually managed before going on the Ward to serve lunch. Another round trip for supper will offer a portion of the desired walking exercise for those who have a tendency to plumpness. Six weeks of this routine equips you with an assurance, and ingenuity to substitute and dilute, to the point where everything moves smoothly, — until there ' ll be an actual fondness for the Diet Kitchen. A thought will perhaps arise that you could have gone on and studied to be a Dietitian and liked it, — instead of a Nurse. Yes, . . . just perhaps. A. M. S. Eighty-seven VJ= Arimy School of Nursing do4 MISS CARRIE E. Second Lieutenant, Army Nurse Corps For eight years Miss Dunn was our Night Supervisor, and all of our class were started on night duty under her kindly tutelage. It is nearly two years now since she was transferred to West Point, yet in our memories of her she has somehow become a part of the very spirit of night duty. When ever do we serve a night without the consciousness of her silent approach, her calm and gentle presence, her confidence in us, and the courage she lent the most timid, the most duty-conscious? And who will forget her competent grasp and management of all the night-business? All the other night-nurses, — what have they to sustain them, who never knew Miss Dunn? Eighty-eight n- T APS 1930 ■ -IXP NIGHT DUTY ROUTINE This is a month 1 have dropped out of life. Now with the technique of the noiseless hours, 1 listen for the restless creak of springs, And fly on silent feet to signal-lights, With water, or with hypodermic ' s boon, Or any of the million other things. While life goes on without me, and my days Pass in a prayer for sleep, for cool, for rain! And I become attuned to silences, To whispered conferences, quiet steps, To cautions ministrations in the dark. The careful scratch of pen upon reports, A little time to read or knit or sew, The only company, — or dissipation! — The seldom round of Doctors through the night. Or steal a moment from the Office-work, And in an Eastern window dazzled lean, Drawing deep breaths of morning river-breeze, Watching the dawn bring on another day. THE OLD PATIENT Patient indeed her title, for her days Spent in immobile waiting in a frame, Setting a fracture. Many hours she lies, Weary and sleepless, staring at the night. At half-past two there flashed her signal-light, Please, dear, my fan, — dropped it, and I ' m warm. 1 stooped and got the fan . . . and understood. And stayed a long while, just brushing her hair, And listened while she talked about her son, — Shielding her loneliness as best I could. SONNET fry to keep my mind off my clothes-press. Did ever any girl live so forlorn, To have two evening dresses never worn, And for the coming month no chance to dress? Its hard enough about the sunny one, — Its crystal buckles and its golden shoes, — hangs more limply every night 1 lose, — Never a party till the month is done! But its the other one 1 yearn to wear — The first pink dress I ' ve had since I was grown, Hanging unchristened, slippers of its own, That never danced a step. While nights so fair Come only once a year, — and youth so swift! Fleeting the hours to wear pink dresses, — wasteful to let one drift! M. P. W.

Gunshot Wounds and Other Casualties: Anne Hathaway, only Chicagoan in class, denies. HISTORY OF PRESENT DISEASE Date and mode of onset; probable cause; evolution and course to admission: In some members of the class the symptoms appeared early in life with the classical Florence Nightingale syndrome, characterized by bandaging dolls and stray puppies. Pure cussedness and determination to be a nurse when 1 grow up brought on the final stages of the disease which were in evidence on admission to WRGH. Other cases show no early tendency to the disease. There was a complete absence of prodromal symptoms. The onset was abrupt, characterized by a sudden interest in nursing, rapid decision to enter the Army School of Nursing, perusal of Washington time-tables, and a swift packing of trunks. Whether or not the glamour of the Army life was an influence has not yet been determined. Some cases were found to have B. Idealis in large numbers in the brain fluid. B. Idealis in these cases was of the type which when grown in pure culture showed the familiar tendencies to do some good in the world , relieve suffering humanity, etc., etc. In all cases, the symptoms were so aggravated that admission to WRGH was deemed advisable by the Medical Examining Board, for further study and treatment. Ninety-five Army School of Nursing -o-f SUBJECTIVE SYMPTOMS: Condition on Admission: The members of the Class of 1931 were admitted to this Hospital from all parts of the country arriving by every means of transportation contrived by the ingenuity of man. The patients appeared slightly appalled by the vast number of Army rules and regulations to which they were expected to conform, but were tractable and co-operated well. They were seen by the Com- mandant of the School and assigned to Quarters 3. Their general physical condi- tion was good and they were suffering from no complaints other than those previously mentioned. OBJECTIVE SYMPTOMS: Condition on Admission: Slightly dazed.

We are truly grateful for all you have done for us since we have been here, — the many times you have helped us over the rough road, and the kind words when meeting, all of which made us love not only you, but Walter Reed and the Nursing world in general. Good-bye is such a difficult word; we are going to say au Revoir , knowing that even though you are leaving us you have given us a splendid pattern to follow, and we shall endeavor to carry it out each day, by doing our work in such a manner that when we graduate you will be just as proud of your Little Sisters as we are of our Big Sisters now, Your, Little Sisters.

For her virtues we acclaim her, but for her devoted interest in us and in our comfort, and her very real affection for our Student Body, — for these we love and honor her.

' Twas not for him to join the passing throng, To live, to love, and know the joy of gay, sweet song. His day went by the window, — racked with pain. His were the spoils of war — The price of honor and of victory gained. And then spoke God to men; And there was born a noble thought. A worthier deed did follow in its wake — They took the spoils of war, — the vengeance it had wrought And when with craft, and skill, and love, the work was done, Cod had returned a birthright to a broken one.

No one signed the pay roll. Falice broke her curling iron. Every Senior handed in a case study. The telephone went out of order. Everyone bought white shoe polish. Someone smashed St. James Infirmary Blues. Libby Baker couldn ' t launder caps. No one heard from David Feldman. Coca Cola was a dollar a bottle. Tony Hoskins took off her red flannels before July. Gin and Booze forgot their gum. Stel didn ' t get any telephone call. Lil Bolt hadn ' t gone to Lizzies . Rizik ' s decided to re-outfit the Public Health Nurses. They bought some paring knives for the Diet Kitchen. One Hundred Twenty-three ' LANDSCAPE WITH FIGURES TAPS 1930 y = — --— .■.-.
