\ ^v;;i tr^ iff| V j'-M! !LiU i CONDUCTED BY MISS ELIZABETH P. UZELMEIER BIRTHDAY PARTY. The student nurses in Dormitory XV. gave Misses Gladys Pierce'^ and Ruth Smith a birthday last Wednesday evening. It being a surprise they had a very difficult time disposing of the girls while the decorations were in progress. After an extended tour to the Red Cross building and Mr. Can teen’s store this is what they found: A dark room and in the center a table covered with a beautiful white sheet fished from a box of rags sent by the Red Cross. * Reposing on this table was an immense chocolate cake with candles on it. The place cards were done by special request of Miss Cressman. The gifts were numerous and acceptable, among them being a soap, a whistle, lavender and drinking cups. Much could be said about the artistic decorations of autumn leaves. But we will leave it unsaid. Misses Pierce and Smith advise all the girls to let thgir birthdays he known at least two weeks in advance. TO PROVE THEY ARE FRESHIES. Plow did they take your culture G ? Well, they poked a stick down my throat and I said “Ah-h-h” and I cried and they asked me my first name and they tied it to the stie^ and they game me a number.” It is from the outside that we find out how much we are appreciated. This came in a letter to a “Prob,” NURSE CORPS HERE FOR DUTY Miss Vera M. Douglas, Reserve Nurse, reported for duty at this hos pital Oct. 29, from Chicago, 111. RETURNS Miss Elizabeth Uzelmeir has return ed to duty following a two weeks leave of absence. Miss E: Would you boil rice with top on boiler or off. Miss C? Miss C: (Dreamily): Why really Miss E, either way would be all right with me. I’m sure. Miss Corrie Ramsdell of Vermont, who has been quite ill in the infirm ary, is improving and we expect to have hr back at class again soon. Miss Mazi Nicholas, who was call ed home last week, has returned. We deeply sympathize with her in the sad loss of her elder brother. Miss Nina Haskins is the proud possessor of a German doctor’s hel met, hypodermic syringe and shoulder straps. The class has welcomed the Chase doll presented to them by the Red Cross as Mrs. Sallie Ann Chase, a vic- ,tim of “Limited Service,” in the stu dent demonstration room. “THOUGHTS OF YOU.” I think of you every morning As the breeze comes whispering by. As the sun is slowly waking Far away in the. Eastern sky. And T wonder, dear, I wonder As the day creeps o’er the hill If a tender thought it will bring to me. To say that you love me still. I think of you every evening As the birds come home to rest, And Earth’s own fairest flowers Are hushed to her tender breast. And I wonder, dear, I wonder In the Land beyond the Sea, At Morning bright, or Starry night Do yo never think of me? —By E. C. WHY NO REST? OFFICERS INVITED The Student Nurses in connection with their Cookery class are Riving a series of “At Homes” in the reading rooms of the school barracks. The Presence of many of the Officers and the Head Ntirses was very much en joyed at the first of the Series which was held Thursday afternoon. It is hoped that all of the Officers and Nurses will continue to enjoy these few hours with the Students on the first and third Wednesdays of each month from three to five o’clock. The Students are planning many interesting afternoons such as Musi- cales occasionally—and never forget ting to show their talent in the art of Cookery. “This life in an army hospital is great, but it seems to me that it is entirely too much of the “sit up and take this” business to suit me. They begin at 5:30 in the morning and the orderly brings around the thermom eter at 6; just as you have dozed off again another one breezes in with a basin of water and before you can snooze off the nurse distributes pills. Then they bring around breakfast and so it goes until 10 at night. Now, tell me, nurse, why a ))atient isn’t giv en an opportunity to sleep any?” The Blue-Birds want to know why the house they live in is called the “Old Nurses’ Home.” (Reply not re quested.) It has been discovered that one of the Probs can tell fortunes—so Hal lowe’en may be a happy day. SUGGESTS THIS. The “Flu” brings to mind the old poem: “I wish I was a rook. Away up on a hill. With nothing doin’ all day long. But just a-settin’ still. I wouldn’t talk, I wouldn’t walk, I wouldn’t even wash. But just keep on a-settin there Resting of myself, b’ gosh.” INTERCEPTED WAR DISPATCHES In An Awful Rage. August 15.
