irty-two QI ASS PQFM Ll I have to live with myself and so I want to be fit for myself to know. I want to be able as the days go by Always to look myself straight in the eye. I don't want to stand with the setting sun And hate myself for the things I've done. I Want to go with my head erect, I want to deserve all men's respectg But here is the struggle for fame and self, I want to be able to like myself. I donlt want to look at myself and know That I'm bluster and ,bluff and empty show. 'II can never hide myself from me, I see what others may never seeg I know what others may never know I can never fool myself and so Whatever happens I want to be Self-respecting and conscience freef' - Selected.

C5110 Lamp Thirty 0 TI-I I- OCCAS I O NAI. Volume ll WARREN STATE HGSPITAL MAY, 1942 Number 3 bliss Edith Ashcroft, Supervisor at this hospital, entertained the Class of '32 last evening at the Nurses' Home, which has just been completed after several years of extensive repair work. We all remem- ber the Class of '32, and most of us find it interesting to note that a few have at- tained success. One of the members, whom we didn't expect to be present was bliss Doris John- son, whose mysterious return from Hawaii has caused considerable comment among the employees of this hospital. lt is ru- mored that bliss Johnson was asked to resign the position she held as combined nurse and teacher of the Hawaiians. VVhy we do not know unless the authorities felt that someone less enchanting would better qualify in teaching a people of such romanf tic temperament. Of course Catherine Fitzpatrick was present and still Fitzpatrick, if you please, bliss Fitzpatrick, is a member of the New York Secret Service Bureau. Her early training was obtained on South -I, seaching diligently for Pediculi. Another guest was Bessie Trautman. Remember when Bessie Kathleen had visions of travel to foreign lands and con- quests over members of nobility. Well, llliss Trautman has achieved success! After many weeks of pursuit Bessie mar- ried Duke Knock 'Em Out and is now traveling in style with her husband, as he encourages each and every man attending Wringer and Wronger's Circus, to step up and be knocked out or get their money back. Three shows daily-step right this way ladies and gents. Duchess Knock ,Em Out was accom- panied by Catherine VVatson, who is also a member of VVringer and Wroriger's Cir- cus. llliss Watson has the honor of being the fattest lady on exhibition. Gossip has it that upon her appearance llliss Ashcroft was so worried about the plight of her luncheon, she immediately sent out for more food. Rlary Chiz, who is still employed at the hospital, was also present. None of the returned members recognized their de- mure Rlary, and were astonfshed to learn that she is the vamp of the hospital. lt is said that no new interne has as yet escaped her charms. Phyllis YVilliams is now Assistant Di- rectiess of Nurses at the Philadelphia General Hospital. Her duties consist of supervising the nursing technique of the students and inspecting their uniforms, daily. We wonder if Phyllis makes allow- ances for no buttons, three-cornered tears and no hairnets. lt was regretted that William Walters, who is rated as a coming reporter, could stay only a short time. lllr. Walters, it is said, is a hound for news. We were all surprised to hear that Eleanor Ward is now a famous short story writer. When interviewed about her success she stated that after Writing five different Class Prophecies for her graduation before one met wfth approval, she thought short stories were simple.
