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

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

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
