The 1933 P. R. N. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY HU, the rocks be rugged and the climb one of labor, look up, cries a voice within us, the heights are within your power. Our party, consisting of thirty members, was a joyful, happy group starting at the foot ot a snow-capped mountain. Did we realize the wearysome, steep, but worthwhile climb ahead? Snags, crags and crevicses. some of which were caused by days and nights of hard study and worry. Six months passed, at the end of which we were called before The Leader of the Party , the Superintendent of Nurses, who informed us that we were to join the band of upper classmen. One day we shall never forget. when our first cap was placed upon our heads. Pride radiated within us, but we soon realized that it placed upon us a greater responsibility. Climbing is smoother and the heights much clearer as we onward strive. Our goal a Nightingale with the title of Graduate Nurse . The Summer months sped quickly by. VVe saw our lirst graduating class. Dances, parties and many celebrations took place in which we all participated. The first ridge of our climb was ended. The second ridge waiting to be ascended. VV e could picture ahead of us another much steeper and more difficult climb. A few of our party dropped by the wayside. Struggles, hardships, paths of rough travel presented themselves, but were soon overcome as we could not permit such details to interfere with our climb. Oh, a dignified Senior! Two years we toiled diligently to be thus classified. Some of the ravines we crossed were, Senior Demonstrations, Operating Room and Sheppard and Enoch Pratt. Graduation! The goal of our desires reached. XYe stand at the height to look down, visualizing the past three years, which have slipped by 'ere we realized their rate of speed VVhat excitement we experienced, as we were handed our diplomas. Can it be a dream? ls it real? As we leave the portals of the University of Maryland School of Nursing to strive for our laurels on other snow-capped peaks. our slogan shall ever be, Not on the heights. but climbing. 'lo
