TODAY is YOUR DAY-AND MINEH Cv bb VALEDICTORY YV LEVATION-what we call success-never comes spontaneously, it is the result of quality put into a work one loves. We all dream of great deeds of high positions, away from the pettiness and humdrum of ordinary life. Yet success is not occupying a lofty place or doing con- spicuous workg it is being the best that is in you. Struggling around in too big a job is much worse than filling a small one to overflowing. Dream, aspire by all means, but do not ruin the life you must lead by dreaming pipe dreams of the one you would like to lead. Make the most of what you have and are. Perhaps your trivial, immediate task is your one sure way of proving your mettle. Do the thing near at hand, and great things will come to your hand to be done. There is always a way to connect your tastes and aspirations with the needs of the world, if you are brave enough to accept the way when you find it. To some people success is everything and the easier it is gained the better. Success is really nothing unless it is won by painful effort. No matter how we may have failed in the past, the door of opportunity is always open to us. We should not give way to useless regrets, we should know that the future is within our control, that it will be what we choose to make it. We, the Class of 1932, have reached the first milestone in the followin S of our chosen profession. We owe our success thus far to our Principal, Miss McAfee, instructors and supervisors, whose patience and tireless efforts have made this day a reality. As we approach the new and unfamiliar phases of our work we shall miss the hel in hand and the uidin influence of those P S S S who have iven us the coura e and ins iration to live most and serve best. 8 S P Woi'ds cannot express the gratitude and affection we feel for each one of ou. We ho e to show our a reciation b followin our teachin faith- Y P PP Y g Y 8 fully, and proving by our future work that your efforts have not been in vain. Fellow students and class mates, we too, must say farewell. The friendships formed and the trials we have shared in common, have helped us to know and value one another. We say farewell, but through our work we shall always be united and interested in each other. I wish for you the fulfillment of all your fondest hopes, and a life of success and happiness. Miss McAfee, instructors and supervisors, fellow students and class- mates, we bid you farewell and carry on. -lVlART1-IA Roncisixs. Page Forty one

RTHE ART or NURSING IS THE GIFT OF con 'C lb Page PRESENTATION OF PLACOUE TO SCHOOL BY CLASS '32 YV To show our joy and deep appreciation to the Charles S. Wilson Memorial School of Nursing, and all who have helped us to attain our long-cherished ambition of becoming members of the nursing profession, we, the Class of 1932, Wish to present this placque of Florence Nightingale, the one who had the courage and inspiration to found such a noble profession. Florence Nightingale, of a wealthy and socially prominent English family, was born in England in 1820. During her youth she was constantly trying to serve her fellowman and, as she grew older, she realized how little was being done to ease their sufferings. Then she decided to devote her life to find ways and means of helping the sick. She went to diierent hospitals to study their methods. In 1854 she become an out- standing figure through her work in the Crimean War. She established hospitals and nursing service for the soldiers. Thus, through her self-sacrifice and zeal she started the profession which is now one of the most honored and esteemed professions of the world. We who have upheld the ideals of Florence Nightingale present this placque to you and we hope that it will prove an inspiration to you who have chosen this profession for your life work. Forty
