Senior Prophecy Baltimore. Maryland, June l, l9Jf2. Dear l'z'1'g:'111'r1. Our class is holding a reunion in Baltimore. at the Nurses' I-Iome. the 23rd of this month. -lust think! Ten long years since we have seen each other. Please be here. Sincerely, Your old classmate, NIARY Em-:RY. l received this letter in the morning mail, and immediately replied that I would be there, even though it meant a hurried trip from Chicago, where I had been workin in one of the hospitals. as head nurse in the accident room. Fond etnbraces. laughter, every one talking at once! This was the scene which greeted me as I entered the living room of the Nurses' Home. I was certainly surprised to see sw many of my old classmates there. Mary Ijmery. who had remained at our hospital, as one of the supervisors. rushed up to me. I am so glad you came. -lennie Lee was just asking about you. Let's go over and see her. She, Eva Holloway, and Louise Huddleston are over there in the corner, having a conflab. You know, she has just returned from France where she has been nursing for two years. And Eval You know how Eva always went to sleep! She is chief anaesthetist in a hospital in Virginia. If she couldn't sleep herself. she would put others in the land of dreams. Louise married the man with piles of money and she meets Jennie in Paris when she goes over to do her spring shopping. Someone grabbed me by the arm and whom should I see but Nellie Butler. Jo Schuh. and Fuzzy Morris. the old gang! They had opened a tea-room in New 'York and had been very successful. After I had greeted all my friends, I found that many strange things had hap- pened to the Class of l932. Elizabeth Vtlorthy had married a man who thought Lib was a model of all the virtues of womankind. Irene Crladden was in charge of the violent ward in a psychiatric hospital. She said she had not received a black-eye in the past nine years. Gladys Rudisill had recently opened a school of aesthetic dancing in Vvash- ington, D. C. Gladys Durst and Clara Wlilburn had forsaken the profession for a more do- mestic life, and appeared to be very happy. Mildred Michael was specialing in the same town, and couldn't attend the reunion, because she was called on a case. Ruth Schaffer had retired, having become wealthy with her publication, The Best Vvlay to Spend Five Dollars. Pat Cameron, at the time of the reunion, was paying a visit to Ireland. Lou Rodes and janet Reifsnider were models for a French Shoppe in New York. GVOFDGVWDGNMKDGXMWDV 2? U GVOVDGNMEGXMZDGNMFD
