ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION Organized in l92l under the creative influ- ence of Mrs. Emma jones, the present Alum- nae Association, now two hundred strong, has gained ground and stands signihcantly as one of the outstanding groups of this campus. i To preserve professional relationships, create good will and companionship among the graduates, and to cultivate pertinent in- terests to nursing have been their primary objectives. Scattered thro-ughout the city and state in public health, ofhc-es, clinics, hospitals, industry, and o-ther related fields, the gradu- ates have found opportunity to convene at monthly meetings and discuss social and business projects. An Alumnae-Senior ban- quet has become a traditional project of the group and the seniors have come to look forward to this outstanding spring event. Present officers are: Margaret Graham, president, Vera Pinkerton, vice presi- dent, and Ellen Stadius, secretary-treasurer. 7 BIARGARET G'RAH.-ABI VERA PINKERTON ELLEN STADIUS N U RSES' ASSOCIATION The beginning of school in early September diverted talk of summer and vacations and set the-nurses' home buzzing with more serious minded activities.
