CLASS HISTORY The big decision having been made, we entered nurses' training on September 9, 1953. Most of us were complete strangers to one another and we were coming into a different type of surrotmd- ings from what we had previously known. This, of course, caused considerable confusion and be- wilderment in our young minds. However, after a get-acquainted party and a few days and nights in this strange, new place, we became oriented and fell into the schedules and routines which would characterize the next three years of our lives. Classes, classes, and more classes confronted us for a few months and, gradually we began our clinical experience in thehospitaL The first day in the hospital was a big one and we were very excited because bed-making was on the agenda. That wasn't too bad, but they were checked by the instructors, and that meant there was a strong possibility that we would have to start over from the bottom and make a new bed. Then came the big night after our pre-clinical experience was completed when we would no longer be called Probies, but would be wearing caps and bibs like everyone else. There are numerous incidents to be remembered from this first yearg some of which were humorous, others which were serious and completely opposite. Our evenings were spent studying cartoons and pulling pranks on one another at such times when studying anatomy or chemistry and pulling a dusty book from some remote corner would have been to any observer the wiser choice. The regrets would be heard for miles when grades were forthcoming. On these occasions we could think of more things we simply had to do. These included cleaning drawers, catching up on correspondence, and, of course, pulling pranks on one another. Like the time we carefully selected our patient, a sleeping beauty by nature, and very deftly proceeded to paint her with merthiolate. For those who returned late and were anxious to obtain some precious shut-eye before the early risers started singing in the showers, we would arrange such things as the moving of their furniture, short-sheeting beds, locking doors, hiding belongings, and other things that would detain them. There were others who believed soundly in the old saying, Early to bed, early to rise, We recall one such member whose alarm rang in the wee-small hours of the night, and she found herself completely ready to go on duty at the ghastly hour of 5 a.m. For the past two years, we have not been together as a class, for early in our junior year seven adventuresorne members took their departure to the big city of New York and from that time, one of the five groups into which we were divided has been out on tour - Gowanda, Perrys- berg, Buffalo, New York City and Brooklyn. However, work for the yearbook, class projects, and various class functions had to be carried on. The mysteries and complexities of the first few months of the past three years have now been solved. Let us remember only the worthwhile events and happenings and forget the unpleasant and unimportant incidents. History is comprised of those events which are significant in the past: and now we find our- selves confronted with the future and what is to become history in each of our lives depends upon each of us individually.
