CLASS HISTORY OF 1950 August 17, 1947, twenty-one career-seeking young ladies entered Wind- ber Hospital Training School for Nurses with hearts and minds set toward the 'goal of becoming Registered Nurses. After a day of orientation, we began our preliminary training which consisted of studies of the fundamentals of nursing. In October, we spent several hours each day, putting this knowledge into practical use in the different departments of the hospital. Also during this mon.th, at a Halloween Party, held in our honor by the upperclassmen, we learned to know the older students and instructors with whom we would be associating during the coming three years. February 18, just six months after entering training, We tool: the first big step toward our goal. At a beautiful, impressive ceremony, We realized, as never before, the responsibilities that lay before us. Our caps were placed upon our heads by former Windber graduates. Shortly after capping, a class meeting was held. Class officers were elected: Nima Kaufman, President, Violet Malone, Vice Presidentg Marion Anlceny, Secretaryg Yoletta Propoggio, Treasurer. Class Flower-Red Rose Class colors-Red and White Class motto-x'Climb, Though .the Hills Be Rugged Several 'of our members reailzed the responsibilities even, more when in the Spring they were assigned to night duty. Summer came and was gone-August 18, to celebrate our first year of training, a swimming partyiand Weiner roast was held. Now being Intermediates and following the customs of those before us, we held a spaghetti supper and hayride for the graduating class. We also held a Halloween Party for the preliminary students. At the present time, we are looking forward to the beginning of our psychiatric affiliation at the Philadelphia State Psychiatric Hospital.
