UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
January 8, 1957
Greetings, Fellow Alumnae:
To prepare the 1956-1957 Annual President's Report of the Uni- versity of Maryland Nurses' Alumnae Association is indeed a very real pleasure. The joy of preparing this report stems from the fact that it represents a compilation of the activities of our membership during the past year.
An alumna is often judged by the present day caliber and reputa- tion of the school which she attended. It is heartening indeed to note the progress of our Alma Mater.
This year was a very significant one in the history of the school from which we were graduated. In June, 1956 the sixty-fifth class was graduated from the School of Nursing. Our alumnae roster re- veals that 1705 young women have been graduated since the first class of eight members completed their two year program in 1892.
The sixty-fifth class of the School of Nursing has numbered among its members the last students to be graduated from the three year diploma nursing program. The members of the sixty-sixth class will have completed a four year program of collegiate nursing education and will receive the degree of bachelor of science.
To keep pace with the forward strides that have been made by our Alma Mater, the Alumnae Association has been kept on its toes during the past year. It has been a year in which the Alumnae have distinguished themselves by the carefully considered thought they have given the activities of the Association.
The Program chairman, Mrs. Virginia Stull Flannigan, has been responsible for planning a series of stimulating, informative pro- grams which have been enthusiastically received by the members.
A special committee chaired by Mrs. Joyce LeFever Jacobson studied carefully the use of the Scholarship and Endowment and Loan Funds. Recommendations were made by this committee that money from these funds be made available to junior and senior students in the School of Nursing in addition to our Alumnae. This recommendation was unanimously adopted by the Association at the June meeting.
The Ways and Means Committee, very ably chaired by Mrs. Annetta Muir Wills, planned a very successful Masquerade Ball which was held in October. All profits from this affair went to the Scholarship Fund.
The Annual Banquet and Dance was an unusually fine affair carefully planned for our enjoyment by Miss Freda Michelitch.
4 BULLETIN OF THE NURSES ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION
A near record was set in attendance when we convened at the Emerson Hotel in June.
The By-Laws Committee, capably chaired by Mrs. Ethel Troy, has been busily at work during the year rewriting the By-Laws and incorporating suggestions and recommendations that have been made to the committee by members of the Association.
The Bulletin Committee has been wisely guided by Miss Miriam Croft and has prepared for our enjoyment the annual Bulletin.
The Directory Committee was fortunate to have as its captain Mrs. Margaret Warfield Ellis. As problems pertaining to the Direc- tory arose, this committee met to deal with them.
A new Roster Committee was officially appointed to give recog- nition to a painstaking job on which our association depends to such a great degree. This job has long been done by Mrs. Bessie Maston Arnurius. Mrs. Arnurius has served as the first chairman of this committee whose important responsibility it is to maintain contact with our 1705 Alumnae.
The Educational Committee, chaired by Miss Virginia Conley, met to review requests for scholarship assistance and made awards both to our Alumnae and to undergraduates.
Again this year our association supported the Needlework Guild. It also continued to support the sale of plates and ashtrays.
Your Alumnae Association was represented at the regular meet- ings of the General Alumnae Council and your representatives serve on the standing committees of the Council.
In bringing this report to a close a most important event must not be overlooked. In January, 1957 the University celebrated its 150th birthday. Many events have been held in conjunction with this important date in our history — events in which our Alumnae have participated. It is my hope that many of you were able to attend the Centennial-Sesquicentennial Charter Day Banquet which was held at the Lord Baltimore Hotel on January 19, 1957.
It is an honor and a privilege to have served as your president during the past year. Your loyal support and untiring enthusiasm for Alumnae activities have been most gratifying. It has often been said that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. What a fine thing it is to have a chain of Alumnae associates whose links are forged of steel — who look forward to the challenge of the future secure in the knowledge that our Alumnae Association will continue to distinguish itself in the future as it has in the past.

DR. GLADYS SELLEW APPOINTED PROFESSOR OF CHILD NURSING
By Faye Parks Ritzman, Class of 1954
The School of Nursing is preparing to extend an opportunity to nurses having a B.S. degree and an interest in child nursing. A Master's program in child nursing under the direction of Dr. Gladys Sellew is being founded.
Dr. Sellew was appointed to the faculty of the School of Nursing as Professor of Child Nursing in the summer of 1956. The school is indeed proud to have, as a member of its teaching staff, such a dis- tinguished personality in the field of nursing. The new professor of child nursing brings with her a reputation based on experience and education seldom equalled in our profession.
The Doctor was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and attended the Uni- versity of Cincinnati, where she received her Bachelor of Science and Master of Arts degrees. During this time she spent seven years in the University of Cincinnati Hospital's department of pediatrics.
From the University of Cincinnati, Dr. Sellew went to Western Reserve Hospital in Cleveland, where she spent several years in a children's unit and then to Cooke County Hospital in Chicago. Four of her six years at Cooke County Hospital were spent as As- sistant to the Dean of the School of Nursing.
St. Vincent's Orphanage in Chicago was the next institution to attract the services of Dr. Sellew. At this orphanage she worked with the children of unwed mothers.
In 1938 Dr. Sellew received her Ph.D. in Sociology from the Catholic University in Washington, D.C. Her dissertation was written on a thorough study of the living conditions of a group of families living in one of Washington's badly overcrowded "courts." It was one of the first theses of its kind. While working with these people, she taught them how to obtain the most from their meager incomes. She also worked with the medical care plan.
During World War II, Dr. Sellew served as the Director of Nurs- ing at the College of St. Catherine, where she worked with five hundred students in the four year program.
In 1947 Rosary College obtained her services and appointed her as Professor of Sociology and the head of that department.
Though it seems impossible that Dr. Sellew had time for any- thing other than her work and studies, she has had five books pub- lished in the field of nursing and sociology. Many of us are familiar with the textbook, "Ward Administration and Clinical Teaching,"
6 BULLETIN OF THE NURSES ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION
to which Dr. Sellew and Dr. Florence Gipe made mutual contribu- tions.
In addition to her work at the University of Maryland, Dr. Sellew spends two days of the week working with a similar program for the University of Pennsylvania.
The two projects leave this industrious lady little time to spend at her two favorite pastimes. She professes a love for sewing, es- pecially for children. She also enjoys reading, though she admits that most of it is along the lines of her profession.
We extend a hearty welcome to Dr. Sellew and sincerely hope that she decides to make the University of Maryland her perma- ment home.
DEAN GIPE HONORED ON TENTH ANNIVERSARY
By Virginia C. Conley Associate Professor of Nursing, U. M. School of Nursing
Dean Florence Gipe was honored by friends and colleagues at a dinner party on February 15 at Candlelight Lodge, Baltimore. The occasion for the celebration was Dean Gipe's tenth anniversary as head of nursing education at the University of Maryland. Thirty- two guests paid tribute to Miss Gipe, whose contributions to the School of Nursing and the nursing profession on both state and national levels have received notable attention.
Those persons present at the dinner included nurses in all phases of nursing in the State of Maryland, alumnae members and faculty of the School of Nursing.
During Dean Gipe's administration the School of Nursing has developed into a college of the University which has received state and national recognition. The Dean's activities with the Southern Regional Education Board Committee on Graduate Education and Research in Nursing have led to the development of graduate edu- cation in nursing at the University of Maryland.
Letters and gifts of tribute and commendation were bestowed upon the Dean in recognition for her services. Among those persons sending greetings to the Dean were Dr. Harry C. Byrd, President Emeritus of the University of Maryland, Dr. George Yeager, Pro- fessor of Clinical Surgery, School of Medicine, and David L. Brig- ham, Executive Secretary, University of Maryland Alumni As- sociation.

FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF MRS. MIRIAM HINES
It was indeed a pleasure to have as guest of honor at our banquet this year Mrs. Miriam Jessop Hines from the Class of 1906, cele- brating her fiftieth year since her graduation from nurses' training at the University of Maryland.
One would never believe Mrs. Hines has fifty years of nursing experience behind her. Such an attractive, charming person, I am sure could stand up alongside any of us younger graduates.
A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. George A. Jessop at Lang- ford, Kent County, Md. on November 28, 1883.
Miriam Louise Jessop attended St. Mary's Seminary for one year. From there she went, for one year, to Miss Beacon's private school in Hagerstown, Md.
LTpon graduation from nurses' training, Miss Jessop did private nursing for two years.
Wedding bells rang out in Baltimore on May 20, 1908, when Miss Miriam Jessop became the bride of Dr. Frank Brown Hines. Frank Brown Hines, Jr., the only son of Dr. and Mrs. Hines, graduated from the LTniversity of Maryland in 1933.
Mrs. Hines is an active member of Old St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Chestertown, where she spent all of her married life.
Mrs. Hines, we extend to you, our most heart-felt congratula- tions on your fiftieth anniversary. Please come and be with us again next year.

ANNUAL ALUMNAE BANQUET OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND SCHOOL OF NURSING
By Freda H. Michelitch, Class of 1947 , Chairman
In honor of the graduates of the 1956 Class, the Nurses' Alumnae Association sponsored their thirty-ninth annual banquet and dance in the main ballroom of the Emerson Hotel on June 8, 1956.
The Rev. Raymond C. Myers, of the Raspeburg Epiphany Church, offered the invocation.
Mrs. Elizabeth R. Singleton, President of the Nurses' Alumnae Association, welcomed the graduates and introduced the guests of honor. The classes celebrating quinary reunions were presented.
It was again our pleasure to have Dr. Harry C. Byrd, President Emeritus of the University of Maryland, as guest speaker. He spoke of the growth and progress that have been made in the School of Nursing and reminded us of the great effort put forth by the many persons who helped to make it possible.
Our guest of honor was Mrs. Frank Hines, who came from Ches- tertown, Md. to celebrate the anniversary of the fiftieth year since her graduation.
Among the other honored guests were: Dr. William S. Stone, Dean of the School of Medicine, and Mrs. Stone; Dr. Florence M. Gipe, Dean of the School of Nursing; Miss Virginia Conley, Assist- ant to the Dean of Nursing; Miss Margaret Jamison, Dean of Women at the University of Maryland; Airs. Sarah Whitehurst, Member of the Board of Regents; and the Rev. Raymond C. Myers and Mrs. Myers.
On behalf of the Senior Class, Miss Doris Rutherford, substitut- ing for Miss Judy Williams, Class President, who had the misfortune of being ill, presented to Dr. Florence Gipe, a silver serving tray for use at social functions in the Louisa Parsons Dormitory.
After the banquet, our evening was highlighted with dancing to the delightful music of the Debonnaires.
Our many thanks go to the Banquet Committee, who worked so diligently to assure such a memorable and pleasant evening and to those who so generously provided the beautiful and fragrant flowers.

REUNION CLASS NEWS
Mrs. Hortense B. Tegler, Class of 1948 Chairman of Class Reunions
I should like to share with you the many lovely letters I received from the graduates celebrating their 60th, 55th, and 50th reunions. Mrs. Frank Hines of Chestertown, Md., Class of 1906, was the only one able to attend her 50th reunion, and we welcomed her gladly. A tribute was paid to all the graduates of these classes by our president, Mrs. Elizabeth Singleton.
CLASS OF 1896 '
Mrs. Nancy Porter, a daughter of Mrs. Mary Hoshall, wrote thanking us so much for her mother's invitation to the banquet. Mrs. Hoshall celebrated her eightieth birthday on April 14 and until quite recently lived alone. She lives with Mrs. Porter in Yukon, Okla. since she has been in ill health.
CLASS OF 1901
Mary Helen Cooke of Baltimore sent greetings for a pleasant evening and was sorry she would not be with us. Miss Eugenia Henderson's niece wrote that her aunt would be unable to attend because of a fractured hip. She had been confined to the hospital since November and started to use a walker in April. She expressed her deep appreciation of the thoughtfulness of the invitation. Mary Scott Jones of Charlottesville, Va. reluctantly declined because of her age — 83. She sent love and greetings to the members of the Class of 1901 and to our Alma Mater.
CLASS OF 1906
Nellie Carter wrote from Lynchburg, Va. that the invitation certainly "warmed my old heart" and regretted she could not be with us. Mrs. Ethel Palmer Clarke of Madison, Conn, wrote ex- pressing a very great desire to be with us but she would be unable to do so because of failing eyesight. She sent greetings. She also added, "I am 80 years old, pretty well, and active but with rather limited strength." She lives near the shore and has a rose garden and a fine companion. Mrs. Charles F. Morse in San Francisco, Calif, writes she is in grand physical condition. She plays eighteen holes of golf once or twice a week, does all her own housework, sews, knits, and plays a lot of bridge. The only thing that reminds
10 BULLETIN OF THE NURSES* ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION
her of her age are the years that go by too fast. Mrs. Samuel Moore of Baltimore sent greetings but could not be with us. After accept- ing the invitation, Mrs. Katherine Lemley of Warrington, Fla. later wrote she had been visiting in Louisiana and suddenly became ill. Diagnosis: a ruptured appendix, necessitating surgery. She was most disappointed, but sent best regards. Mrs. J. T. H. Greenwell of Baltimore was also unable to be with us.
CLASS OF 1916
Miss Lucy Scaggs came from Washington, D.C. to celebrate her fortieth reunion. Mrs. Louise Eichner was present from Baltimore.
CLASS OF 1921 By Zadith Reese Pitt
In March of 1956, Mrs. J. M. Reese was invited to a luncheon to round up the Class of 1921 for its 35th reunion. We called a meeting of those members in and around town on April 5 at the home of Mrs. William Pitt in order to contact our out-of-town members and make plans for their entertainment. Eight of us talked and planned — a luncheon at Hutzler's Towson on June 8, the day of the banquet, the banquet in the evening, and on Saturday, June 9 at 10 a.m. we would go down to the summer home of Dr. and Mrs. Morris Reese at Tydings on the Bay for an old-fashioned picnic and swim.
June 8 arrived and so did eight of us for lunch at Hutzler's, and believe me, it was a success. Was the food good? Who knows! We talked until we had to leave — met at the banquet and did the same thing again.
Saturday, each of us arrived at the picnic with some of her cook- ing. We arranged the food on tables while we talked continually of old times and funny things which happened to us while in training — those who trained with us, those with whom we worked, of Dr. Randolph Winslow having signed our diplomas and of ours being the last class to have that honor. We remembered the lovely gradu- ation breakfast served in the dining room after communion at St. Paul's and the black-eyed Susans on the table.
We remembered the lovely American beauty roses with stems from shoulder level to the hems of our linen graduation dresses which Dr. Winslow had given to each of us. As we received our diplomas, we each placed a rose in the lap of our Superintendent of Nurses (eighteen of them altogether). The stage was beautifully decorated and the refreshments were grand.
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND H
Thanks and fond remembrance to Drs. Winslow, Shipley, Hol- land, and Hundley, the Superintendent of Nurses, training staff, and all those who helped to train us. We are ever grateful.
After stuffing food and reminiscing, we did some yard work rak- ing, hoeing, laughing, teasing like any bunch of young girls because we had been living in the past and catching up on news from one another and our families and activities.
We had a grand time and drove home late in the evening still a happy bunch of the '21 's, planning other days of get-togethers.
Those of our group who were present for the reunion were Helen M. Childs, Ruth Gorman Leuba, Anna Wood Garvin, Isabelle Hanna, Mary McDaniel Wiessner, Blanche Martin Horine, Julia Smith Dione, Kate Hogshead Reese, and Zadith Reese Pitt.
CLASS OF 1926 By Margaret Fink Hahn
Ten members of the Class of 1926 gathered at the banquet at the Emerson Hotel to celebrate their thirtieth class reunion. The members were especially happy to greet Miss Elizabeth Aikenhead, class faculty advisor, as guest of honor.
Those present included Naomi Allen White, Mildred Bond Kings- bury, Virginia Caples Reichert, Betty Ewell Buchness, Margaret Fink Hahn, Rebecca Glover Lennon, Esther Hershey Pennock, Edna Hurlock Coyle, Colgate Parks Warner, and Theodora Sperber.
Greetings and letters were received from Sarah Diehl Edwards, Marian Powell Buck, Carol Shoultz Pace, and Elsie Sperber who were unable to attend.
CLASS OF 1931 By Marie Cox Burkman
Thirteen graduates of the Class of 1931 met for their twenty- fifth reunion at the annual Alumnae Banquet on June 8 at the Emerson Hotel. It was an enjoyable evening and just wonderful to see everyone again.
On Saturday the class members and their husbands were enter- tained at a buffet supper by Margaret Goodell Winship, Elsie Sills Sandler, and Marie Cox Burkman at the home of the former in Valley Crest.
We missed all of you who were unable to attend and hope every- one will be present at the next reunion.
12 BULLETIN OF THE NURSES'" ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION
CLASS OF 1936 By Hazel Miller Wells
The Class of 1936 held its twentieth reunion on June 8 at the Emerson Hotel with the following members present: Angela Dooley Clarke, Doris Lloyd Fargason, Ann Lubinski Miller, Delia Riley Rasmussen, Betty Dodson Blondell, and Hazel Miller Wells.
We were very happy to have Miss Estella Baldwin come over from College Park to be the guest of our class. She is the same Miss Baldwin we all liked so much.
Sue Connelly Montgomery called from Pennsylvania. She is a busy doctor's wife with four children, including twins.
Norma Johannes Engelmann called also. She is well now, after a long illness, is married and has a three year old daughter.
Virginia Wicker Danner wrote from Illinois that she is kept busy with her teacher husband, two sons, PTA and church work.
Ann O'Sullivan Taylor is another busy mother. She and Andy have two-teen age daughters and two young, handsome sons.
Rita Odom Highman had planned to come down from Connec- ticut but, due to the death of her mother, could not be with us at this time. She sent snaps of her four children and they are as cute as can be.
Margaret Rose is caring for her aged mother, who recently fell and broke her hip.
Tress DeLawter was sailing on a cruise to South America the day of the banquet. She will get her Master's in Nursing ServiceAdmin- istration this year at Teachers' College, New York.
Kay Kefauver has moved to Philadelphia and is working in a hospital there. The girls from out of town sent their best wishes to all, and are really planning to be with us on our twenty-fifth an- niversary.
Mary Knoeller Browning, mother of a boy and girl, had made her reservation but, due to a sudden death in the family, could not attend.
Mary Fowble Long stopped to see us for a few minutes while we were having pre-banquet cocktails in the lounge. We were sorry she could not stay. She and Bill have a son and daughter.
Fran Tayloe Jannarone, Annabelle Magaha Kelbaugh, Nina Claiborne Hamm are still doing some private duty here in town.
Those who attended the banquet spent a pleasant evening remi- niscing about our good and bad days at University. Dr. Gibson Wells, later in the evening, took some colored slides of our group.
Angela, as pretty as ever, is living in Linthicum Heights with her twelve year old son. She received her B.S. in Education from Loyola College June 3.
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND 13
Doris came up from Norfolk. She still has that infectious laugh. We forgot to ask her if she still talks for "hours" on the phone as she did in the Nurses' Home.
Ann, mother of a young son, arrived on crutches, the result of a fractured heel.
Delia P. and her husband live in Laurel, Md. She was in the Army for quite some time, but is now a civilian nurse at Fort Meade.
Betty lives between Baltimore and Annapolis with her husband and her attractive daughter, Toni Lee. She is busy helping Lee in his business. Activity must agree with her because Betty never looked better.
Since we did not hear from the other members, we can give you no news of them, but sincerely hope we can all be present in 1961.
CLASS OF 1941 By Lorraine Neel
The Class of 1941 had seven classmates present for their fifteenth reunion. Those present were: Flora Evans Hickman, Mildred Foster, Sue Wilson Gilmer, Ruth Almony Dixon, Nell Hammer Giauque, Charlotte Barkdoll Franz and Lorraine Neel. We enjoyed so much being together again and hearing news from other class- mates who were not present. It was also very nice to have Maria Sagardia, Class of 1943, join us at our table.
Margaret Reynolds Menees sent greetings by telegram: "Wish I could be with you for our class reunion. Please convey my sincere wishes for health and happiness to all present. Why don't some of you take a vacation and come to Texas?" We'd love to come.
Charlotte Matthews Guy sent a nice letter from Norfolk, Va. Martha Wilson Davis had recently moved to California. It was nice to hear news from her and from Elizabeth Wolfe Stevens who also lives in California.
Judy Liles Hanke is living in Granada Hills, Calif. She has two daughters in school and a little son two and one-half years old. She is also enjoying some part-time nursing.
We had a nice time, missed those who were not present, and hope for a larger reunion in 1961.
CLASS OF FEBRUARY 1946
By Adeline Mosberg Cronin
The Class of February 1946 met for the tenth reunion at the an- nual Alumnae Banquet at the Emerson Hotel.
The graduates were entertained by Sara Weimer, Anna Lee De-
14 BULLETIN OF THE NURSES' ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION
Haven, and Adeline Cronin at a Cocktail Party at the Emerson Hotel. Ann Pierpont, Mary Godlove, Anna Lee DeHaven, Mary Ireland, Marion Daue, Sara Weimer, and Adeline Cronin enjoyed reminiscing and agreed that the only effect of the ten years was that of mellowing and amelioration.
For the benefit of those who could not be present, we gathered the following news items:
Ann Brien Pierpont lives in Rockdale, Md. where her husband is in general practice. They have two children, Karen, aged 8 and Brien Edwin, aged 3.
Irene Chenette Holljes, her husband, Johanna, aged 7 and Henry, aged 5 are with the Navy in Japan.
Mary Colorusso Godlove's husband is in practice in Martins- burg, W.Va. They have two children, Linda Jean, aged 6 and Martin Dale, aged 2 years.
Anna Lee DeHaven is assistant supervisor of the operating room at University Hospital.
Phyllis Duvall Kavanagh lives in Rockville, Md. with her hus" band, three boys and a girl. Marilyn Jane arrived practically on the day of our reunion.
Beanie Janovitch is a TWA hostess assigned to the overseas flight. Her apartment is in Detroit, Mich.
Ruth Jordan Metta lives near Phyllis Kavanagh in Rockville, Md. Ruth also has four children: Vic, Jr., aged 9, Stanley and Sue, aged 8, and Jon, aged 2. She works part-time at the National In- stitute of Health-Neurology and Blindness. Six other University graduates work at the Institute, two of whom are Miss Reiblich and Miss Rita Malik.
Mary Klevisher Ireland is moving from Berkley, Mich, to Chi- cago, 111. Her children are Leslie Ann, born July 19, 1954, and Charles F., born November 9, 1955. Mary has not been successful in seeing Beanie Janovitch.
Marion Ramsey Daue and her husband live in Camp Hill, Pa- where he is in practice. Their expert swimmers are Caryn Elaine, aged 8, Craig, aged 6 and Debra Yvonne, aged 2 years.
Dorothy Reachard Funk, Waynesboro, Pa. has had more con- tact with the two-legged bird than anyone in the class. She is ex- pecting her sixth child.

CLASS OF JUNE 1946 By Mary Byrnes Besett
The tenth anniversary of the Class of June, 1946 was celebrated at the annual banquet and dance on June 8.
Members attending were Barbara Garrison Mosberg, Mary Green Heininger, Anne Logan Gerkin, Hazel McComas Carroll, Mary Sclavos, Elinor Wilson Wells and Mary Byrnes Besett.
We had great fun recalling the experiences of "training days' and chatting about events of the past ten years.
During the course of the evening pictures and letters received were circulated and it was decided to start a "Round Robin" of letters in order to keep everyone up-to-date on the doings of her classmates.
To the disappointingly large number of you who were not able to attend your reunion this year, "we missed you" and hope to see you at the next one.
CLASS OF 1951 By Joyce Blades

A.N.A. BIENNIAL CONVENTION
By Hortense B. Tegler, Class of 1948
The Fortieth Biennial Convention of the American Nurses' Association was held in Chicago from May 13 to May 18, 1956. There were 1213 delegates with a total registration of 11,080. There were also eighty nurses representing thirty-one nations.
"This is the sixtieth birthday of the A.N.A. and the total mem- bership now numbers 177,000," said Miss Agnes Ohlson, President of the A.N.A.
In her opening address, she stated the importance of treating the patient not only as a patient, but as a member of the family and a part of the community. There must be a reallocation of responsibi- lities of the nurse. We must help the non-professional workers. Find out what we need most in our profession, and then how to meet these needs.
There is a great need for leadership as well as a need for acquiring alert minds. We must be firm but not arbitrary and stand together against opposition.
Reports were given by all the officers and committee chairmen at the house of delegates.
Few of us, I am sure, have even an inkling of the many activities in which the A.N.A. participates. Fifty-three areas of essential services were listed.
The by-laws of the A.N.A. were amended and the platform for 1956-1958 adopted.
All service groups reported. The Air Force, now seven years old, has twenty-five new hospitals and twenty-one are to be acquired in the next nine months. As of April 30, 1956, there were in the Air Force 2,480 nurses with an authorized strength of 2,800. 630 of this number are male nurses.
The most widely heralded and attended program meeting was to hear Dr. Margaret Meade. Dr. Meade's subject was "Nursing — Primitive and Civilized." Dr. Meade said we must protect the vulnerable. She predicted that the function of protecting the vul- nerable will never disappear and there is no possibility of a human society where it will not always exist. "Because nurses do so many things, it seems to me," she said, "that you protect the vulnerable; that you protect all those who could be in any kind of danger; danger from illness, danger from shock, danger from fatigue, danger from sorrow, danger from overstrain, and danger from grief." She also said that we were the only group where everyone has held a newborn baby and closed the eyes of someone in death.

Miss Daisy Bridges, Executive Secretary of the I.C.U., was guest speaker at international night. Our guests from many countries came in their native evening dress. Miss Bridges conveyed to us that nursing and hospitals were founded in times of crises. The first hospital was founded at the time of the Roman Empire; the Cru- sades established great nursing orders; the Crimean War gave us Florence Nightingale. She said nursing standards must be as high as medical standards to protect health fully. Miss Bridges con- cluded with, "God sometimes helps nurses to show the world what He likes. In working together you bind yourself to God and to each other."
Dr. Harold Lenth, consultant for the Civil Air Defense Adminis- tration in Evanston, 111., spoke on nursing during emergency medi- cal service. He says, "Think big, build realistically and carefully. Working together as a group produces results and team spirit."
The industrial nurses and private duty nurses voted to keep the names of their sections unchanged.
Dr. Herman Finer, Professor of Political Science, University of Chicago, says there are 70,000 private duty nurses out of 350,000 active professional nurses. We must learn to evaluate ourselves thoroughly and often. According to the Georgia study done by Drs. Fred and Elizabeth Couey and Miss Diane Stephenson, one third of the nursing service load is carried by the private duty nurse. Eighty-five percent of her problems deal with human re- lations.
The officers for the 1956-1958 A.N.A. convention are: President, Miss Agnes Ohlson, Conn.; First Vice-President, Mrs. Myrtle Coe, Minn.; Second Vice-President, Miss Mathilda Schener, Pa.; Third Vice-President, Lucy German, Mich.; Secretary, Miss Frances Powell, 111.; Treasurer, Miss Alice Toppzant, Wis.
It was a truly wonderful experience to be able to again attend the convention and I thank the alumnae for their generous contribu- tion toward my expenses.

CENTENNIAL AND SESQUICENTENNIAL CELEBRATED
By Joyce Lefever Jacobson, Class of 1954
In March 1956, the University of Maryland held their Centen- nial and Sesquicentennial Celebration in the Armory at College Park. Here they were celebrating the one-hundredth year of the Maryland Agricultural College and the one hundred fiftieth year of the Maryland Medical School.
For a few days these two institutions along with the other eight colleges of the University of Maryland, the six schools, and the other allied organizations displayed their collegian relics and famous possessions.
The University of Maryland School of Nursing participated with an interesting display of historical figures and photographs in a booth provided for this purpose.
Many visitors to the campus on this occasion came to our booth and much information about the programs of the school was dis- seminated. Graduates and students were on duty to welcome the visitors and answer their questions.
THE JANET HALE SCHOLARSHIP FUND
By Virginia C. Conley Chairman, Committee on Education, Nurses' Alumnae Assn.
Many years ago our foresighted Alumnae members established a scholarship fund in memory of Janet Hale who was a graduate of the Class of 1892, and was the second Superintendent of Nurses at the University of Maryland.
This fund was inaugurated by the Nurses' Alumnae Association in 1920 for the purpose of assisting a graduate of the School of Nursing to further her education in nursing. During the years which the scholarship fund has been available, many graduates have profited, and as a result have become more proficient in some area of nursing.
As social and economic changes have affected our daily living, so have they influenced the role of the nurse in her professional ac- tivities. New activities bring about different demands made upon the nurse in relation to her ability to meet the challenge of contem- porary nursing.
20 BULLETIN OF THE NURSES* ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION
Once again the Alumnae members have shown their insight into a serious nursing problem — the need to assist students in the School of Nursing to finance their education.
The Nurses' Alumnae Association voted last spring to extend the benefits of the Janet Hale Scholarship Fund to include students en- rolled in the School of Nursing as well as graduates of the school. At the same time the amount of the annual appropriation was in- creased from $300.00 to $450.00.
The Committee on Education has the privilege and responsibility of recommending to the Alumnae Association, candidates for scholarships. Requests for these awards should be addressed to this Committee.
The Nurses' Alumnae Association is to be commended for its keen insight and its forward steps in promoting the work of pro- fessional nursing.
FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE CAP IN HALL OF FAME
(from The Journal of the International College of Surgeons, April, 1956, Vol. XXV, No. 4)
The most recent addition to the Hall of Fame of the International College of Surgeons exhibits relating to Florence Nightingale is the Florence Nightingale Cap, which has been adopted by the Uni- versity of Maryland School of Nursing. The cap was donated by Rebecca Hall Phillips, R.N., Class of 1927 of the University of Maryland Hospital, Baltimore. Mrs. Phillips is the wife of Dr. John Roberts Phillips, F.I.C.S., and a member of the Woman's Auxiliary of the United States and Canadian Sections.
The gift is warmly appreciated by the College, especially in view of the fact that it represents a genuine sacrifice, on the part of the donor, of a valuable collector's item. The same can be said of many other contributions to the Hall of Fame, the ultimate value of which will rest, in no small degree, upon the spirit that prompted these visible additions to the treasures of surgical history.
The Florence Nightingale Cap is to be exhibited in a beautiful gold-framed shadow box with a red background. An engraved plaque will give the name of the donor and other pertinent informa- tion. The dedication of this gift to the Hall of Fame will take place in September, 1956, at the time of the Twenty-first Assembly of the United States and Canadian Sections of the International College. Dr. and Mrs. John Roberts Phillips of Houston, Texas, are charter members of the College and the Auxiliary.

MARYLAND AMENDS LAW PERTAINING TO REGISTRATION OF NURSES
By Virginia C. Conley,
Associate Professor, School of Nursing
Member, State Board of Examiners of Nurses
As soon as it was organized in 1903, the Maryland State Associ- ation of Graduate Nurses began activities for the accomplishment of one of its objectives, namely, the procuring of State registration for nurses. A bill was framed and presented by our State Associ- ation to the Maryland Legislature. Without opposition or amend- ment this bill was passed by both houses and was signed by the Governor on March 25, 1904.
Since the passage of this bill, many nurses have been registered in Maryland. Some of these practiced nursing for a short period of time, some continued in their professional activities throughout their lifetime and some may not have nursed at all. The books con- taining the recording of registration list the names of all these per- sons whether or not they are active in nursing. It was evident that there was no way to determine the number of nurses who were practicing nursing in any given year. As the numbers of registered nurses increased and as the nursing service agencies expanded it was difficult to keep any records of those nurses actively engaged in the practice of nursing.
Following the pattern of many other states, the Maryland State Nurses' Association proposed an amendment to the law providing for a biennial recordation of the certificate of registration of those nurses who are practicing nursing in the State of Maryland. The Maryland Legislature during the 1955 session made this amend- ment to the law.
The amendment to the laws relating to the registration of nurses reads as follows:
281-A. Beginning in the month of January, 1956, and during the month of January in every second year thereafter, every registered nurse, registered with said Board of Examiners, shall cause his or her certificate to be recorded in the office of said Board of Examiners, together with an affidavit or other proof satisfactory to said Board of Examiners of his or her identity as the person to whom the same is issued and of his or her place of residence at the time of such recordation. The registrant shall pay to said Board of Examiners a fee of Two Dollars ($2.00) for each such recordation. It shall be unlawful after February 1, 1956 for any person to practice nursing as a registered nurse unless his or her certificate has been recorded as provided in this section; provided, however, that the failure
22 BULLETIN OF THE NURSES' ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION
to record such certificate shall not be cause for the revocation by said Board of Examiners of such certificate. Anyone who shall fail to re-record his or her certificate as provided by this section shall, notwithstanding such failure to record, remain eligible for re-recordation at any time thereafter without ex- amination, upon application for re-recordation and payment of fees therefore.
282. This sub-title shall not be construed to affect or apply to the gratuitous nursing of the sick by friends or members of the family, and also it shall not apply to any person nursing the sick for hire, who does not advertise, solicit employment or hold himself or herself out as a graduate, certified or regis- tered nurse.
283. Any person violating any of the provisions of this sub- title, or who shall wilfully make any false representation to the Board of Examiners in applying for a certificate, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction be punished by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars ($500.00).
The recordation of the certificate of registration will facilitate the activities of our profession. It will provide us with a roster of nurses who are practicing nursing in Maryland. Data will be forth- coming as to the numbers of nurses coming into, and withdrawing from the practice of nursing in this State. Such information will enable our professional organizations to participate in nation-wide surveys and studies where such facts are necessary.
THE BALTIMORE UNION BUILDING
By Joyce LeFever Jacobson, Class of 1954
On the Baltimore campus, the University of Maryland has de- veloped preliminary plans and specifications for a Union Building. The structure will be shaped as a K and will be located on the south- west corner of Lombard and Greene Streets.
This five story building, designed by Lucius R. White, Jr., Archi- tect, will be used for facilities other than academic, for the students and faculty. It will house a student supply store, game room, barber shop, post office, cafeteria, main lounge, fountain lounge, dance terrace, meeting rooms, offices, and TV room.
The initial construction of the building will be limited to one- half of the K structure and located on the west side of the Out- Patient Department.
We hope the ground will be broken for this new structure in the near future.

RECOVERY ROOM
The Recovery Room was opened in January, 1956 under the direction of nursing service and the anesthesia department. It is located on the seventh floor in a temporary area which can accom- modate five patients simultaneously. It is staffed by a head nurse, a staff nurse, and supervised by the supervisor of the surgical wards. Recovery Room nursing is now included in the student's curriculum, and the students rotate in Recovery Room for clinical experience.
Patients are brought to the Recovery Room at the discretion of the anesthetist, depending on the type of anesthesia, operation, and condition of the patient. The patients remain in the Recovery Room until they are conscious and stabilized, and then are re- turned to the floor. The recovery period for each patient is vari- able, thus making the length of stay unpredictable. Each day an average of twelve patients are received in the Recovery Room. At the present time patients are accepted from 8.30 a.m. to 3.30 p.m.; however, longer hours are anticipated in the immediate future.
The Recovery Room has provided closer observation of the patient in the immediate post anesthesia period, and relieved some of the duties of the floor nurse, leading to better nursing care.
PROGRAM IN PRACTICAL NURSING
Ethel M. Troy, Director
Today eighty-six students are enrolled in the two classes — March and September — of the Division of Practical Nursing in the School of Nursing.
The students are chosen from many applicants, being required to pass a psychometric test and a physical examination and to pro- vide two recommendations each before their applications are re- viewed by the Admissions Committee for selection.
Those who completed the program in November, 1955, and March, 1956, were admitted to the State Board examination in April. All who took the examination passed it and are now Licensed Practical Nurses. Many of them are now employed on the staff of University Hospital. It may be of interest to know that the passing score was 350; our lowest score was 387, and two made scores of 692. The students who finished in September, 1956, were examined on Oc- tober 17th. We await their scores with great interest.
A bulletin has been published to provide information to the pub- lic. A request for this bulletin will be promptly honored.

MY UNEXPECTED VACATION IN MOSCOW
By Dorothy K. Herbert, Class 1924
Did you ever wake to a decision on the spur of the moment and find yourself in a state of confusion, but because of that decision, find that you had a very stimulating and rewarding experience? Well, I did just that this summer. My vacation was planned for August and had been approved several months earlier.
Late in June, we had word that my little grandchild was to be born in an American hospital in Berlin and that her mother's E.D.C. was July 13. I decided then that I would try to see that branch of my family during my August vacation.
The complicated task of obtaining a passport took all of July, during which time my little granddaughter had arrived. In the meantime I had luckily reserved flight passage to Europe. Two days before flight time I finally got my passport from Washington.
It was wonderful to see my daughter-in-law, after more than a year, and that precious baby, Kathleen. But, also, I was very anxious to see Kathleen's father who had been serving in our Air Force as physician to the American Embassy in Moscow. Fortu- nately, he had leave of absence to visit his wife and new baby in Berlin at the same time I was there and we had a grand reunion.
Considering the proximity of the two cities, my family felt I should take this opportunity to visit them at their home in Moscow. So the machinery for obtaining a visa was set to work. This is not a simple procedure for an individual citizen traveling to Russia. Sixteen days passed and still there was no word from the Kremlin .
By that time it was necessary for my family to return to Moscow. With much disappointment we said sad farewell and they departed for the East Berlin airport while I awaited flight time to return to U.S.A. from West Berlin.
Then the unexpected happened. The travel division of our state department called to tell me that Moscow had wired approval of my visa and that they could complete reservations for my flight from East Berlin the next day !
Oh! happy anticipation, but with a very disturbing feeling of doubt about flying alone to that foreign land. Nevertheless, the "mission was accomplished" just twenty-four hours after my family's arrival in Moscow. I was the only English-speaking pas- senger on the Russian plane. That was a strange feeling, but the trip was made interesting by observing the other twenty-one pas- sengers. Most of them were German college students. There was a stolid Russian officer and a young mother with her cunning little girl. None of us, except the students, were very communicative.
The Russian hostess indicated to us to disembark at Wilnas, Poland. We landed at this half-way point for a meal. There was a
26 BULLETIN OF THE NURSES' ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION
very depressing atmosphere at this airport and the dining room did not help to lift one's spirits. The service was excellent, but the food was of very poor quality. I was impressed with the appearance of the head waiter and waitresses. They looked harassed, disturbed, and extremely "on edge." I wondered if it could have been because of the presence of that Russian officer.
Arriving in Moscow eight hours after take-off from Berlin, I waited some time before meeting my son. Our plane had left Berlin three hours earlier than had been planned. Our state depart- ment in Berlin had wired this change to Moscow, but the message arrived only very shortly before our plane and the airport is twenty- four miles from the city and the Embassy. With many gestures and a little confusion this was made plain to me and I tried to wait calmly to see my son's familiar face.
In spite of the gray, cold rain of the late afternoon, there was warmth in my heart to find myself riding to the Embassy where my family and other state department people lived. I had to pinch myself to realize I was almost half way around the world from home in this controversial capital city. I also reminded myself how much better this method of travel was compared to the way Russia had planned for tourists to visit them this summer.
Their plan was called "Intourist." It provided round trip air passage from most Western European cities and a ten day stay in Moscow at several designated hotels. It also provided carefully planned guided tours of the city showing only those areas included in the Kremlin's propaganda. All of this, plus some rubles for spending money, was offered for $180.
In contrast, I had the pleasure of living with my family and the opportunity of seeing how the American colony, amid numerous restrictions, lives behind the Iron Curtain. I saw the unpaved dirty back streets, the squalor and cramped living conditions of the ma- jority of Moscow's citizens. I saw the apparent activity of con- struction workers, mostly women, and the resultant incompleteness and inconvenience of their labors.
I saw the central farmers' market with its very meager offering of produce. The fruit, vegetables, meat and milk were of very poor quality and very expensive. I saw the long queues of people tire- lessly waiting for almost everything that must be purchased for everyday living. The monotony of men's and women's clothes was striking and, upon investigation in their stores, the prices were found to be unbelievably high. And what stores and markets. They compare favorably with ours of the early 1900's.
Above all else, I saw the expressions on the faces of those people who got into a church. There was determination and a fire of devo- tion, to something real and lasting, that shone in their eyes. All of this made me reverently glad that I am an American citizen and renewed my eagerness to have my family back on their native soil.

VACATION DIARY
5335 Fisher Place Seattle 18, Washington Christmas, 1956 Greetings :
Instead of sending Christmas cards this holiday season, I decided to write letters giving a few highlights of the year.
It has been a happy and pleasant 1956, but it has sped by so fast.
Since I'm still working the evening shift at the hospital with only two free evenings, I have had very little social life. Many, but not all, of these free evenings were spent watching my favorite television programs.
You can imagine how I looked forward to getting a change of activity during my vacation period. I took two weeks in June to see Alaska, and the other two weeks in September and October to see Oregon, California, Nevada, and Mexico. If "Uncle Sam" decides to transfer me back to the East in the near future, I can now say that I have seen the West coast.
I wrote a "paper" on my trip to Alaska, so I will take excerpts from it and share with you.
What a beautiful ten day cruise to the Inside Passage of Alaska! It was exciting, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the trip. It was a conducted tour, and most of the 229 passengers were Baptists. The tour left Seattle on the SS Princess Marguerite, making port call in Victoria, British Columbia, and then on to Van- couver, British Columbia where the tour party changed to the SS Princess Louise.
On the third morning, the tour party arrived at Prince Rupert, B. C. This town is forty miles from the Alaskan boundary. It has a population of about 7,000. It has the third largest natural harbor in the world, has the largest fresh halibut business in the world, has the largest fish cold storage plant in the world, and boasts of no severe cold in winter, and no extreme heat in summer.
In the evening, the tour arrived at Ketchikan, Alaska. An hour before docking, the United States immigration officers boarded the ship from a motor launch. Before disembarking at this port, all passengers had to present immigration cards and pass inspection.
Ketchikan is approximately 662 miles north of Seattle, and has a population of approximately 9,000. This town cans more fish than any place in the world. There are fourteen canneries. The fishing boats land about 20 million pounds of fish each year, bringing about three million dollars to the fishermen. In addition, about 30 million pounds of salmon are caught in traps and by seine boats. Ketchikan
28 BULLETIN OF THE NURSES* ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION
is backed against a mountain 3,000 feet high. The wharves and build- ings on the waterfront are erected on piling because frequently the tides are twenty feet high.
The next morning the ship passed through Wrangell Narrows. It was through these straits that the biggest mass otter hunts in Alaska were staged. One hunt staged by the Russians consisted of 550 Aleutian skin boats and 1,200 Aleutian natives. The hunt took one month. The pelts yielded two million dollars. This was the place that the trading ship of Jacob Astor went to help find that famous fortune. Bloody battles were fought and refought here be- tween traders, explorers, Aleutians, and savage Indians.
Nearing Juneau, the ship passed close to many ice floats that had broken away from large glaciers.
Juneau is approximately 1,033 miles northwest of Seattle with a growing population of about 8,000. It appears to rest on a shelf little more than 3,000 feet wide with Mt. Juneau backing it. It was here that the typical gold rush started in 1880. Juneau was made the Capital of Alaska in 1900.
Near Juneau is the famous Mendenhall Glacier which is % miles wide, 300 to 500 feet deep, and 12 miles long. Its gigantic fissures are of a deeper blue than ever appears in the skies, a mass of trans- parent blue crystal. This was indeed spectacular.
Gold mining, formerly Juneau's principal industry, is now in- active because of the disparity between the price of gold and the cost of production. Outfitting of boats and cold storage facilities for Alaska's foremost industry, salmon and halibut fishing, is an im- portant part of Juneau's economic life.
The most striking feature of the climate in and around Juneau is the slight variability of temperature. This is also true of most of southeastern Alaska. July is the warmest month with an average of 56.6 degrees above zero. January's average of 27.7 degrees above zero makes it the coldest month. There is an average of one or two days of sub-zero temperature per year. Average rainfall approxi- mates 85 inches.
The Alaska Historical Library and Museum in Juneau was most interesting. One could spend hours there and still miss a lot. The one thing that fascinated me more than anything else was the Eskimo infant diaper. This was made from reindeer skin, trimmed in fur and a small wad of moss placed in the seat.
Skagway, Alaska was the end of the sea voyage for the Inside Passage. Skagway mushroomed overnight about fifty-odd years ago. It was a brawling city of 15,000 gold-crazed prospectors, with tents pitched so closely together along its gravel base that a newcomer had a tough time finding a place to set down his pack. The crowds vanished when the gold disappeared. Today the approximate popu- lation is 600. Several of the original wooden buildings are still
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND 29
standing and these give an impression that a "set" has been ar- ranged for a western movie. Skagway is a ghost town.
The trip via the narrow gauge railway from Skagway to Carcross was quite impressive. Words fail to describe the "jagged black giants and steep gray pinnacles," all draped in snow and scoured by glaciers. This was the Trail of '98.
Bennett, 41 miles from Skagway, affords a commodious restaurant where our party of 229 found long tables laden with delicious food. Included in the menu was moose meat.
Carcross was next. This is in the Yukon Territory of Canada. Lake Bennett ends and Lake Nares begins at this tiny village of un- certain houses and cabins. It was at this point that great herds of caribou formerly crossed the narrow stream which connects the two lakes. Originally called Caribou Crossing, it later was shortened to Carcross. The last spike in "the railroad that couldn't be built" was driven at Carcross on July 31, 1900. Carcross has a population of 140; about 40 of these persons are white and the remainder are Indian. The school enrollment is 40. All of the natives gave evi- dence of rugged physical health.
Then back to Skagway and SS Princess Louise on the same day.
On the next evening, the tour arrived in Wrangell, Alaska. It was originally a trading post populated mainly by Indians under the protection of the Russians, but came under white dominance during the gold rush of '98. Wrangell has several interesting totem villages, and in fact more totem poles than any other town, most of which are still standing where originally erected.
Alaska is enjoying a phenomenal growth in a variety of ways. Her resources are unlimited; her economic possibilities really stagger the imagination, Truly "Uncle Sam's Attic" deserves the title of "Wonderful Alaska."
The tour arrived back for a day of sightseeing and shopping in Vancouver, B. C. on the ninth day.
After an overnight journey on the SS Princess Elizabeth, the tour arrived in Victoria, B. C. on the tenth morning, and ready for an- other full day of sightseeing and shopping. This is the "City of Hanging Flower Baskets"; and a population of 100,000.
The tour passengers sailed on the Princess Marguerite from Victoria to Seattle that evening, and then departed — some home- ward bound and some staying in Seattle for the American Baptist Convention.
After a busy summer at the hospital, I was glad when the last week in September arrived, so that I could be off on another trip. This particular vacation was one of the most enjoyable and exciting ones that I have ever had. There was nothing monotonous about the entire two weeks. And I covered a lot of territory.

My friend, Clara Bagne, was the financier, and I was the chauf- feur. If you don't think we had a "whale of a time," you are wrong.
The trip started early one morning after my working until mid- night, so you can see that there was no time wasted in getting off to a good start.
The Oregon coast line was at its best. There was no fog encounter- ed, so we enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the rugged and wind- ing coast line. We traveled through the myrtlewood country, and stopped at a few of the gift factories.
Then we proceeded on through the Trees of Mystery and along the Redwood highway viewing the beautiful and gigantic Redwoods. We could not resist stopping at a few of the gift factories.
San Francisco is definitely a city of hills, so now I think the hills of Seattle are mild in comparison. Some of the places that we visited were Chinatown, Golden Gate Park, Fisherman's Wharf, Cliff House, and Seal Rock.
Monterey, the Seventeen Mile Drive, and Carmel-By-The-Sea proved to be quite interesting. Carmel is an artists colony and is unique in its own right. The only likeness of all the shops are the Dutch doors. I would like very much to spend more time at this particular place.
Santa Barbara is a pretty city. We visited the Mission here, and learned more about the founding and progress of all the Missions.
Los Angeles was the hottest place that we found on the entire trip. It averaged about 97 degrees during the three days that we were there. The smog was at its worst, but we stayed to see all the sights and survived. It was much simpler to stay in the city of Los Angeles and take tour busses to all the surrounding areas.
Disneyland was fabulous. Millions of dollars have been spent here; and it is well worth anyone's time to take a visit through these extraordinary settings of Frontierland, Fantasy land, Tomorrow- land, and Main Street, U.S.A.
One tour took us to the Huntington Art Gallery, Library, and Gardens; then on to Pasadena, the Rose Bowl stadium; and then to the San Gabriel Mission.
The tour to Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Griffith Observatory proved to be most interesting. The homes in Beverly Hills were fabulous. Last, but not least, was the visit to the performance of Lawrence Welk and his orchestra with dance music at Ocean Park.
It was time for us to leave Los Angeles, but we still had not seen all. We traveled along the coast, stopping by the Wayfarers Church to see the unique structure. This is a church of glass, perched high on a hill overlooking the beautiful blue Pacific Ocean.

San Diego is very close to the Mexican border; and not wanting to spend the night in Mexico, we stopped early in the afternoon to find our lodging for the night.
The Mexican border town Tijuana was very dirty and disorderly. Many of the streets were unpaved ; and we saw one woman sweeping the rocky dirt street in front of her hut. We were not too keen in parking the car to walk around the streets of Tijuana, so we traveled on along the Pacific for 69 miles to Ensenada. This town did not look too much better, but we visited the shops anyway. We were quite fascinated with the shopkeepers trying to sell their wares. Everything was much cheaper — no tax either. The mode of living in this part of Mexico is primitive.
Back in the good old U.S.A., we again stopped at another and more famous mission, the San Juan Capistrano. The gardens here were very beautiful, and pigeons were quite plentiful.
At Buena Park, there is another much visited spot called Knott's Berry Farm and Ghost Town. We meandered through this area before journeying on to the next spot. This was quite the place, but much like any other ghost town.
There is a scenic route in San Bernardino valley area called Rim of the World. This was a spectacular drive, and gave us many panoramic views. We saw mountains, forests, lakes, valleys, and desert on this 45 mile drive.
Reno, Nevada was one of our many overnight stops. It really was living up to its name, "The Biggest Little City." It had only a few blocks lighted up like Broadway of New York, and most of these places were casinos. There was never a dull moment around the slot machines. It was interesting to watch the people play the machines. The motel where we stayed gave us two certificates to get a "Pack of Nickels" at the Primadonna Club. There was noth- ing to lose, so we each got our $1.50 worth of nickels, and started playing the slot machines. Luck was with me — hit the jackpot — $6.25 — not knowing anything about gambling, I thought I broke the machine when bells started ringing and people came from both sides telling me to put another nickel in the slot and pull the lever. This stopped the ringing, and then I was given the envelope containing $6.25. Beginner's luck, so I stopped, and still have the jackpot packet — still sealed.
From Reno to Seattle, we saw beautiful scenery, and stopped several places along the way to scrutinize the area. In all, it was a lovely trip, but as usual, time was too limited.
Now, I'm back to the grindstone again, and looking forward to next year's vacation.
Hope that you have had a nice year.

MY TRIP BACK HOME
By Helen Pleasants Sweeley, Class 1919
It was indeed a dream come true when, on the evening of Sep- tember 12th, in San Francisco, I stepped on a plane that would take me in just a few hours to New York. Those of us who did not grow up with airplane travel realize that it is quite fantastic to have dinner on one coast and breakfast on the other as though they were no distance apart. In the old days it seemed as remote to go to the moon as to go to New York; one of the reasons so many years elapsed before I could go. I really owe my trip to "quick travel."
Elizabeth Sides and I left Baltimore in 1920, one year after our graduation. I had spent a year on duty at the Peninsula General Hospital when Miss Wise was superintendent and Helen Gordy was her assistant and surgical nurse. In August, 1920, we headed west, nursing first in Chicago; then Salt Lake City; Pueblo, Colo.; San Francisco and Modesto, California. There we were both mar- ried and our traveling stopped. We had had a most interesting trip — with practically all our nursing in general in the same hospitals — together.
After so many years away, my trip back home was an experience that would be impossible for me to describe — such an interesting, happy one.
"Mitchell" met me in Baltimore. I knew her the moment I saw her. After a few days with her and her better "three-fourths," Dennis, she and I spent a couple of days down on the Eastern Shore with Helen Gordy.
While there at Quantico, we took in the Peninsula General Hos- pital. That beautiful hospital! It made me wish I could spend that year all over again in this lovely new hospital. It seemed natural, too, that a University of Maryland Hospital graduate was superin- tendent— Mrs. Mary Banes Layfield, '37.
On our way back to Westminster, we picked up "Dark Brown" at the Baltimore Airport. She had flown from Chicago. After so many years, how could there have been so little change in her! In fact, I believe she was gayer than ever, the life of the party. She now lives in Florida.
We three went by the University of Maryland Hospital where we met "Maston." She took us over the Hospital and then the Nurses' Home. Even in thirty-six years, how could there have been such an improvement? I could hardly have believed it, if I were not seeing it. For a moment I would liked to have turned back the clock of my own years — and go thru training again in this beautiful new Hos- pital. What an opportunity the future nurses have. I'm sure there
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND 33
can be no lovelier nurses' home for any hospital anywhere. We met several of the nurses, including Ethel Monroe Troy. It was as though I had seen her only yesterday. We felt especially fortunate to meet Dean Florence M. Gipe of whom I have read so much.
I have always been proud that I was a University of Maryland graduate. If possible, I am even more proud than ever. When my trip took me to North Carolina, I saw the lovely hospitals at Chapel Hill and Duke. They certainly have nothing on our hospital in Baltimore.
On the 22nd we were invited to a class reunion in the apartment of Alice Smarr Cleland. There were eight of us present: Nick, Gordy, Kling, Mitchell, Dark Brown, Smarr and Zepp had come from Pittsburgh. You can imagine there was not a dull moment. We missed all those absent but we realized what a privilege it was that so many of us could be together. No class could have been closer than our class of 1919. I hope the present classes, in their lovely surroundings, have the same loyalty that existed in the classes of long ago.
After the luncheon and our parting, I went to Washington and spent the night with California Forest Service friends. Next morn- ing, my North Carolina family came for me and took me to Louis- burg, my hometown, near Raleigh.
I won't take the time to tell about my trip there. I still have four aunts and an uncle, and many cousins. They were all the same to me. The years had not changed their spirits or mine.
While at home, I had a reunion luncheon at my old college — Flora McDonald College, Red Springs. There were four of us — we had graduated in 1916. I spent the time there with a classmate now running a tobacco and cotton plantation.
In all it was worth waiting so many years to step back into the life I had known so many years ago. I do want to thank each one who made the effort to see me and entertain me and show me around. I'm hoping there'll be a next time and that Sides will be with me.

LETTERS
University Hospital Baltimore 1, Maryland Box 2 Hello Girls:
Just to tell each of you how deeply I appreciate your very inter- esting letters, and to thank you for your wonderful loyalty to your Alumnae Association and your Alma Mater.
The letter of each one is enjoyed to the fullest extent by all who read the Bulletin. It has been repeated many times that the Bulletin is the tie that binds us all together so closely, and I hope through the years it will continue to do just that.
Please keep the letters, articles and news rolling in as we all love to read them. Again many thanks to each and every member of the Alumnae Association for your continued interest in the organiza- tion, for without you there would be no Alumnae Association.
With best wishes for A Very Happy New Year from the Alumnae Association and myself, I am,
Cordially yours,

Dear Mrs. Horine:
Enclosed is my check for the Alumnae Association dues for 1956. This is the most enjoyable money ever spent. It's so wonderful to read all about the "doings" at the hospital and find out all about the Alumnae Association's activities. When the Bulletin arrives, everything in my house stops while I sit down to devour it from cover to cover.
Last March I was in Baltimore for a brief visit and went down to the hospital, of course. When I saw the new building and all the changes that had taken place, I was so thrilled. It is a lovely place, makes one almost wish one could go in training again. With best regards.

Dear Mrs. Horine:
My husband is leaving for the Far East January 16, 1956. He just completed a ten months course at the Language School — took up Chinese; so my son and I are going to remain here. I will con- tinue working. Will you send my Bulletin to this new address? Say Hello to everyone back there for me. I often think of you all and remember the good old times we used to have at 620 W. Lom- bard St.; really thought at times we had a tough time, but looking back they were some of the happiest ones.

Enclosed is a check for my Alumnae dues and the Bulletin. Would you please give them my changed address as last year I failed to receive the Bulletin and I do look forward to it. My husband just opened his dental practice here last month and we hope to make this our home. Right now I am nursing in his office, which is a new experience, as was crossing the country with our four children. With best wishes to all.

My husband being in the Army and assigned to Brooke Army Medical Center finds us in San Antonio, Texas, a delightful city of true Spanish descent.
I am practicing my profession at Santa Rosa Hospital on their staff. Of course, nothing could compare to my beloved Alma Mater, but I enjoy my position, while proudly wearing my "Flossie."

Dear Mrs. Arnurius:
Just a note to let you know we had another little boy, Michael Charles, December 17, 1955. That evens the score — two boys and two girls. No other interesting news. However, we are still living in Shelby and love it. Will be looking forward to the Bulletin for all the interesting news of everyone.

Dear Bessie:
Hope this reaches you before the new Bulletin is mailed so you will have the new address of the Hartsocks. We had a wonderful three years at Valley Forge Army Hospital. Then in November we sailed for Hawaii for a three year turn at Schofield Barracks, Oahu, Hawaii. The children love it, of course. Tom is five, Jim is four and Elizabeth Ann is two years old. December 1st, while attending an "Aloha Party," I had a very pleasant experience. Louise Ma- gruder Clary and Tom walked in. We were so glad to see someone from Maryland. When we finally get settled we will be living about five blocks apart.
Don loves the assignment and is fine now after major chest sur- gery last August. Give everyone our best regards and save many kind regards for our special friend, Bessie.

Dear Mrs. Arnurius:
I certainly am a poor one for promptness in thanking you for your nice letter and the Bulletins. Now, of course, I would love to be brought up to date by having the 1951-54-55 Bulletins if possible. Am enclosing check for same. Perhaps some year I can manage to get word of my family in the Bulletin as we are very proud of our girls — Mary Kathleen, 9; Marjorie Ann, 8; Linda Jean, 7; Judith and Janet, age 6, twins. We moved from Bristol, Indiana, where my husband still has a business and came to Cali- fornia in May 1953 to open a branch here. My husband works be- tween Indiana and California so we are alone a good bit. I have been begged to go to work here by the nurses, but so far taking care of my husband's business here while he is in the east, and tak- ing care of five girls is quite a job, but I am weakening. Many thanks again for the Bulletins.

Dear Mrs. Arnurius:
We moved into our new home in April and are enjoying it very much. We are twelve miles south of Miami and since this is a new

community we receive our mail at the Perrine postoffice ; hence the necessity for including Perrine in the address.
My husband is still with the Dade County Board of Public In- struction and I finished my teaching duties with the University of Miami Department of Nursing last week, as we are happy so say a little "Valentine" is expected the latter part of this month. I will let you know when the little one arrives. With best wishes to all.

Enclosed you will find the money for the Bulletin. I have missed it since I retired two years ago. For over twenty years I was Superintendent of Nurses at a hospital in Rocky Mount, N.C. Since retiring I make my home with my sister in Accomac, Va, spend- ing part of my winters in Florida.
Thanking you very much, and the very best of wishes for the Nurses' Alumnae Association.
Mrs. John H. Davis (Alice Virginia Garrison) Class 1938. Route 1, Clarksburg, Md.
Dear Mrs. Arnurius:
It was good to receive your card saying that the Alumnae Bulletin was ready, and I am enclosing money for same. I really do not have any news to tell you. My days are busy and happy. We have two children in school and one at home. I did meet a Uni- versity graduate at the school our children attend, I think her name was Miss Callahan (Shirley Elizabeth Callahan, Class 1952) and she is new to this area. We will probably see more of each other in the spring when our annual roundup of little ones will be ready for kindergarten in the fall.
I always think of you with great affection for you were always kind and sweet.

Dear Mrs. Arnurius:
I am enclosing money for the Alumnae Bulletin, which I am most anxious to receive. It is sometimes quite difficult to keep up with the activities of the hospital and my old friends, though they are very dear to me.
As for myself, I manage to keep up with my nursing by working one or two days a week at the local hospital here. Needless to say, I enjoy it immensely and find that our cap causes a mild sensation wherever I go. We have one little girl age two and I am expecting another child in September. My husband teaches school here in Battle Creek. I am looking forward to receiving the Bulletin. Thank you so much.

Hal and I now have three children: Hal, Jr., five and a half years; Fred Perry, three and a half, and Margot Mervine, one year. We feel like we are mighty lucky to have such a nice family. We now have two University Doctors here in High Point, Helen Home is our Pathologist and John Benson is here now in Internal Medicine.

Since my family keeps me so busy the only nursing I do is Volun- teer work with the Bloodmobile when it comes here. My cap still causes quite a bit of comment and I am mighty proud of it. Please give my regards to everyone at the University. Hal and I both miss all of our friends and he joins me in sending you our very best re- gards.

Dear Mrs. Arnurius:
This finds me living in California. My husband is attending the Naval Post Graduate School here. We expect to be here for three years.
While here I had a chance to see my roommate from training, Esther Garrett Cox. Our children had a chance to get acquainted and I met her two year old for the first time. Her husband was at- tending the post graduate school, too. They are living in Guam. While here I also met Barbara Lamb, who is also a University nurse. She is here for the same reason as the rest of us. Louise Magruder Clarey stopped over here for the night, en route to San Francisco to board ship for Hawaii. Her husband is now stationed there.
In May we are looking forward to our second baby. Our daughter, Patty, is four years old and can't wait for the baby.
Any University graduates who happen to be in this area I will be more than happy to have them drop in.

sweet little red head); the second was born October 22, 1955, Lynn Anita (she is a blonde, like her mother and daddy). I would have sent this off sooner, only I have just returned home from the hos- pital where I had surgery for a herniated disc.
It is very nice to be here with the little ones again and I am look- ing forward to receiving the new Nurses' Alumnae Bulletin — it is always welcome at our home, as it is our only means of learning what our old friends are doing these days. We think of them often and wish we were situated a little closer that we might keep in touch more easily. (We still get Christmas cards from some of our ex- classmates which makes us very happy).
Thanks for your time spent reading this, and don't waste any time in sending the Bulletin. Eagerly awaiting.

We have bought a new home and are living here in my home town. I am not working as I am kept pretty busy being a mother. How- ever, I am active in Nurses' Association, and Red Cross work here in town. Also am working on the Cancer Drive and Heart Fund. Thank you for remembering me.

Yes, your address in Florida is correct; however, the name has changed to Mrs. Herbert R. Eden. I married a Floridian in October 1955 and came here to Miami to live where Herb's home and work are located. At the present time we are living in a newly built and newly furnished duplex, but plan to build in the near future, before our expected baby arrives in early November. (We are thrilled).

Dear Mrs. Arnurius:
I am looking forward to receiving the Bulletin. It seems to be the only link I have left with classmates. Living so far away and with a family of little ones makes it difficult to attend the reunions and dances given.
We have five children, the youngest having been born on Feb- ruary 9, 1956, making three girls and two boys. They really keep me busy and worn out. They can be so trying some days and such little dears others, but I would not trade them for anything. En- closed is the money for the Bulletin and I shall be looking for- ward to all the news in it.

Dear Mrs. Horine:
I am enclosing a check for my 1956 Nurses Alumnae dues. Have just received the Bulletin which I look forward to each year.
Thought my 1931 classmates might like to know that last fall I was appointed Home and School Visitor plus nursing in our school system here. We have twenty-one hundred enrollment. For the past four years I have substituted for the present school nurse who is retiring soon. She is responsible for fifteen hundred pupils, and I for six hundred in the present setup. I attended summer school at Westchester State Teachers College last year, and received the twelve credits necessary for Certification. Am enrolled in the Cur- riculum there for my B.S. Degree in Nursing Education.
It was quite a struggle going to school again after twenty-four years, but have thoroughly enjoyed it, and have not done badly at all. Have three more summer sessions to go. Our son graduated with honors from High School in 1954, and is now a sophomore at Dickinson College. He expects to do graduate work in Chemical Engineering after Dickinson. Our class will celebrate its twenty- fifth anniversary this year in June, and I do hope to be present and see all of you then.

You have probably long forgotten me since I don't keep in touch. Well, we did move to California, as you can see by the ad- dress. We have been here three years this summer and like it very much. We bought a four bedroom house in Granada Hills (San Fernando Valley) two years ago and simply love it. A house and three children keep one busy. Yep, we finally had our boy, little Dickie, just the most precious little fellow you ever saw, two and a half years old already. We have one daughter finishing the fourth grade and the other going into first grade next year. As I said, a family and a house surely keep you busy, although I have found

time for P.T.A., youth group (Campfire Girls) and also a part-time position. We have had so many doctor bills that I went to work for a doctor, part-time, and it is just wonderful to be able to feel that independence again, and also helps out so much; shrubs, patio, and children do cost a lot. It is a wonderful thing to have a profes- sion to fall back on when it is needed. I have never regretted it for one moment. Say hello to everyone for me.

Dear Mrs. Arnurius:
Your letter dated a month ago just reached me here in Tokyo, Japan. My husband is stationed here with the Armed Forces. Even though we have been here only a few months we find this place in- teresting. It is quite a metropolitan city, similar to New York City.
For the first time since my graduation I am now a lady of leisure, enjoying this place and taking everything in that time permits. Am finding time to volunteer my services for mass vaccines in the Army School and other community programs, which I thoroughly enjoy. I would be most happy to receive the Alumnae Bulletin to know what is going on at home. With my very best wishes to all my friends.

Enclosed you will find a money order covering my Alumnae dues. As of February 10th this year I was married to David I. Kellcher, who is with the Government's Internal Auditing Division here. Have given up my position as staff nurse at Gorgas Hospital but will go back this summer for a few months to work part-time in the surgical and orthopedic clinics .
Always regret the fact that we are so far away when it is time for the banquet and dance. I had such a wonderful time last year.

Dear Mrs. Arnurius:
How I wish that it were so that we could take time out and make a trip to Baltimore June eight. I would love seeing old friends again, but don't see how we can get away, as several previous com- mitments have been made for the first two weeks in June.
If you are ever in our mountains of North Carolina, please come to see us. Dr. Loftin retired from the Medical Corps of the Navy three years ago, after twenty-four years service. He went back to school, University of North Carolina, for graduate work. We have been in the western part of the state for almost two years. Dr. Loftin is Public Health Officer here. The country is perfectly beautiful and we are enjoying civilian life but all of us, at times, long for our old service and other friends.
I shall be thinking of the Class of 1926 on the eighth of June. Please say hello to everyone for me. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness.

Dr. and Mrs. Bill Corpening (Avis Simons, Class February Div. 1944) proudly announce the birth of a daughter, Sara Jane, on June 4, 1956. This makes six — three girls and three boys. We think that a good batting average for anybody! But we really do enjoy our family. We live a slow, easy life in the country and just wish more of you would drop by to see us. We have had lots of Mary- land Alumnae and Alumni visitors and always enjoy their visits so much.
We are looking forward to our 15th Class Reunion. Enjoy the Bulletins so much — when it comes we drop everything and sit down and devour each word avidly!

Dear Mrs. Avery:
Thank you for your note. Enclosed is a check for my yearly dues. Please note that I was married February 5, 1955, and that my new address is as above. After leaving the Navajo Reservation (I was working at the Navajo Medical Center in Fort Defiance, Ariz)., I was lucky enough to be with a community hospital that had just opened at Williams, Ariz., the gateway to the Grand Canyon. It was there that I was recalled to active duty with the Navy at Santa Marguerite Ranch, Oceanside, Calif. There I practiced my specialty — Pediatrics. Never had a patient over thirteen years old with all those Marines at Camp Pendleton. But what wonderful coworkers I had. It had the qualities of working in a university center in that dependents unit. After discharge I worked at Luth- eran Hospital, Baltimore, for a short while. Then back to my spec- ialty as Clinical Instructor and Supervisor in Harriet Lane Home at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
What enjoyable thoughts I have now over the wash tub. It would seem that being a nurse is the "open sesame" to all kinds of adventure. As I look through our Alumnae book it would seem that this is especially true of the University nurses.
Now my new career as wife to the most wonderful man in all the world is keeping me busy and happy while creating new memories.

Dear Mrs. Arnurius:
I have been so wrapped up in the warm glow spread by the news captured inside the covers of the Bulletin that I am embarrassed so many days have passed without my writing to thank you for your thoughtful gesture.
Please believe me, the kindness expressed in your sympathetic words really meant so much to me. It indeed helps so much when you know there are those who do care and understand. You see, my father died last year at approximately the same time of the year as my mother did this year; and both of my parents were only forty-seven years of age.
I was married September 11, 1954, to Mr. Charles N. Masten, of Penna Grove, N.J. He is a graduate of University of Delaware, in Chemical Engineering, and received his Master's degree in same at the University of Michigan. I, myself, have engaged in many fields of nursing since I graduated and have loved them all. First I worked in an office for a small town General Practitioner. I did home deliveries in the wilds of North Carolina, home visits under the direction and supervision of the doctor I worked for. And since I have been in New Jersey I have worked general relief in two hospitals, in all departments. For a short time I was in delivery room in charge, until my health insisted I give it up. And until re- cently I did private duty and was on call to the operating room. So much in such a short period of time, but my husband is a Du Pont employee and is subject to transfer at any time.
Please let me thank you again and I hope I can be of equal help to you sometime in the future as you have been to me in the past weeks.

Do I remember you? I can assure you that it would be impos- sible for me to ever forget. I have waited so long to answer your letter because we are buying a house and I wanted to make sure that I sent you our correct address. Buying a house is quite a chore and sometimes things don't go the way you want them to go.
As for family statistics; Mark, now two and a half years old, lively, noisy and a nice fellow (usually). Jeff is our other one. He was born March 8, 1956, here in Salt Lake City. He is in the coo- ing and laughing stages. Jerry is running the Pulmonary Respir- atory Laboratory at the V.A. Fort Douglas Hospital, which is con- nected with the University of Utah School of Medicine. I think Bruce Armstrong is at, or coming to, the University to do the same thing. Jerry worked with him at Hopkins.
I haven't been doing anything but getting the family settled and running the house. We have been here a year now and will stay in- definitely. I would love to hear any news from there. Has there been a new Bulletin out? We send our very best to you.

Dear Mrs. Arnurius:
It has been almost two years since I left University. As you probably remember, Alice Boynton and I left on a trip west. We came to Denver and both started working at General Rose Me- morial Hospital in the operating rooms. We found Denver fasci- natingly interesting and just loved it.
A year later, on February 25, 1956, I was married to Mr. William Allen May of Falls Church, Va., in the Trinity Methodist Church of Denver. Bill is serving with the Army at Fort Carson. I am working in the Operating Room at the Memorial Hospital here in Colorado Springs. I am teaching Operating Room Technique to the student nurses and enjoy it very much. Bill and I are looking forward to his discharge in December and our move back east to Roanoke, Va., which will be our home.
We have found Colorado a wonderful and interesting state. I highly recommend it for an enjoyable vacation to anyone who likes the great outdoors and mountains. We have made our stay here just one great big vacation and love every minute of it. I am hop- ing to get a chance to visit the hospital when we come east in December. Remember me to everyone and don't work too hard.

We have since moved here to Alabama, where he is attending the second half of the school. It is wonderful being back home and some day I should like to write an article about our three years in England.
We are happily anticipating the arrival of our second child any day now; I hope it arrives in time to make the Bulletin.

Dear Addie, Lee, and Pete:
Your "come on" invitation sounds ever so tempting and makes me wish I could. Thanks so much but it will be impossible again this year. It seems our vacations in the East have never been at the opportune time for our reunions. Jim has his fifteenth medical reunion this year, too, so we will both have to hear of the good times via the grapevine. Certainly there should be someone present with a nose for news to keep us up-to-date with our classmates.
Just in case you didn't know, we now have four little Hunters: Leslie Anne 6, Cindy 5, Jimmie 3, and Laurie three and a half months. (We also have long, cold winters). If Ramsey could only write, I'd have a good second-hand report. Nominate her for the gal most likely to write a letter.
Say hello to everyone for me and if you are looking for someone to have another one for, a drink, that is, have one for me; and, oh yes, don't forget poor old Mrs. Chase. Have fun!

We are having a final fling in the Air Force before settling down to civilian life. We enjoyed our tour of duty in French Morocco so very much that we decided to extend to Germany for a year.
There are so many interesting things to see, do, and buy — and, of course, we don't want to miss a thing. Our nineteen month old son is "all boy" that's for sure, he is happiest when he is toting a gun. He seems to become more onery every day, but we love it just the same.

Dear Folks:
Here it is time again to wish you seasons greetings. The time is really flying and we are now counting the months 'til our return. We have eight more and then we'll be on our way home.
We've all kept busy with various activities and there is never a dull moment here as you can well imagine. Johnny has grown so and is quite the little man. Carol Anne is such a good baby and has a smile for everyone. We are all enjoying her so much.
Dad and Johnny spend lots of time together and the relationship is a joy to watch. How glad we are that he decided to be with us rather than staying home. I know that Mother would want it this way, too.
We went to see a base talent show or rather variety show last night at the NCO club and enjoyed it very much. We knew several of the people in it and that makes it more interesting.
Well, I must close and bathe and dress Johnny. We are going to visit some friends this evening to see some of their movies so we'd better get started.
Remember us to everyone and to you lots of love.

Do you know I just now found an old letter from you back in 1952; so, I put it on top to answer as soon as I could this morning. There have been so many unusual happenings around here I have not accomplished a great deal outside of redecorating our flooded home this past year. Honestly, we have been without furniture, rugs and drapes for so long now, we feel all "closed in" now that our house is beginning to be a home again. We lost all of our furni- ture and it takes a great deal of time to start all over. We started with our four bedrooms first and finally down to the living room. We are grateful for Jim's profession and wonderful practice here. He is enjoying some hunting here now. Our deep freeze is full of venison, duck and pheasant. Wish you could join us and we could

Do give our best regards to anyone you see from the Alumnae. We hope to fly in this coming summer. When will the Alumnae banquet be? This will be Jim's and John's tenth year. How the time goes by. Hoping all is well with you, and that we see you this coming summer.

MISS F. M. BRANLEY, PIONEER NURSE, DIES
Miss Frances M. Branley, one of Maryland's pioneer nurses and for many years director of nurses at St. Joseph's Hospital, died in her native Ireland at Beleek, County Fermagh. She was about 75.
Miss Branley came at an early age to this country and in 1904 was graduated from St. Joseph's Training School in its first class.
She was thereafter superintendent of nurses in charge of the hospital operating room until going in 1918 to France with the University of Maryland unit, where she was supervisor of the operating room at a base hospital directly behind the front lines.
Upon her return to this country, she was assistant and then act- ing director of nurses at the University of Maryland Hospital until returning to St. Joseph's in 1930.
At the latter institution, she gave her guidance and able leader- ship to students of the School of Nursing until her retirement in 1945 because of ill health. She returned to Ireland then to live out her years in volunteer nursing and church work.
Members of the Alumnae Association of St. Joseph's School of Nursing held a requiem high mass for Miss Branley.

Exceptional cases are to be referred to the Directory Committee.
Fiscal year begins January 1. Members are to be taken off Di- rectory for non-payment of dues at end of 90 days and to be notified of this by Chairman of Committee. Members are reinstated upon payment of dues. In case of sickness or other circumstances, time of payment may be extended at the discretion of Directory Com- mittee.
Rules
1. Graduates are permitted to register for or against any kind of case or hospital or duty desired.
2. Graduates of less than two years are allowed to register against contagious, mental or obstetrical cases only.
3. Members "when on the list" and given call for cases not registered against are expected to respond or go to the bottom of the list.
4. Nurses when on call are expected to keep in close touch with the Registrar.
5. If a member wishes to resign from the Directory, she should do so in writing to the treasurer. She may then be reinstated at any time. Any nurse who does not send in written resignation can be reinstated only on payment of all back dues.
6. In case of contagion, the nurse shall be governed by rules of the Health Department.
7. Any complaints either from Directory members or concerning them may be made to Chairman of Committee or to Alumnae Association at regular meeting.
8. Nurses' fees are approved by the Alumnae Association.

If the request for a nurse should be cancelled after her arrival at her place of duty, she is expected to receive salary for one day's work.
When nursing in hospitals, a nurse's fee is regulated by rules of the hospital in which she is working.
9. Members may be denied use of the Directory at any time for not observing rules of same.

ANNUAL REPORTS
First Vice-President
Duties during the past term of office have been negligible. It is the responsibility of this office to take over Presidential duties in the absence of the President. However, such an occasion did not arise during the past two years. The First Vice-President is asked to serve on various committees, but as an alumnae member rather than as a requirement of the office.
Recording Secretary
The monthly minutes of the monthly meetings of both the Execu- tive Board and general meetings were duly recorded.
Banquet Committee
Through the efforts of the Banquet Committee, the annual ban- quet and dance in honor of the graduating class were held June 7, 1956 at the Emerson Hotel. About 250 guests attended.
Bulletin Committee
The past year was spent in assembling the preceding material which was sent to us by our members, obtained through interviews and collected by the Committee's "newshens."
(Reports were not submitted by our other remaining committee chairmen. We hope to have a complete list for you in 1957-1958).
