Class Song
Our school days are ended today;
Soon we shall be on our way To make our lives so true
In everything we do.
School days are over,
Fondest mem'ries true,
Seeking goals that we uphold,
Making our dreams come through.
Striving for a future, Following our star,
So we'll work, play,
Paving our way "To be rather than seem."

Twenty-fifth Anniversary
The following accounts of the anniversary observation are re-printed from the editions of the "Attleboro Daily Sun" of April 14, 1938 and April 15, 1938.
The largest and most important feature of the 25th anniversary of Sturdy Memorial hospital was the testimonial banquet in honor of Miss Gwendolyn G. Rice and Miss Katherine V. Lloyd, superintendent and assistant superintendent at the hospital since it opened, consulting staff and staff of 25 years ago, and officers, tendered by the Sturdy Hospital Alumnae association in the Masonic Temple on North Main St., last evening at 8 o'clock. Dr. H. H. Germain and Dr. C. C. Simmons of the original consulting staff were present.
The tables were attractively decorated with silver and pastel colors. A sheaf of 25 silver balloons floated over the head table and balloons in pastel colors over the other tables. Silver candlesticks were used for pastel colored candles and silver flower bowls filled with spring flowers in pastel shades were used as floral centerpieces. There was an attendance of 250.
The hospital was open to the public this afternoon from 2 to 5. Tea was served in the entrance hall and moving pictures of the various departments of the hospital in action were shown by Dr. J. W. Battershall.

Announcing the growing need of a nurses' home at the Sturdy Memorial Hospital and suggesting that it might be possible to get $10,000 for this improve-

ANNUAL REPORT
ment from the $7,000,000.00 fund which President Roosevelt plans to make available, President Harold E. Sweet of the Trustees of the Attleboro Hospital, said in a humorous vein last night at the trustees' banquet that he personally had invited the members of the city council to the official recognition of the 25th anniversary of the Sturdy Memorial hospital with that thought in mind and also as he had noted that they hadn't had many dinners lately. This addition to the nurses' home, he said, in all seriousness, was needed and had been under considera- tion for some time, and that plans have been drawn up showing how the present home can easily be remodeled when the time comes for action.
The banquet which was preceded by a short invocation by President Sweet in deference to Holy Thursday, was served in the nurses' dining room to the trustees, doctors of the city and a few invited guests. The tables were decorated with a profusion of spring flowers and Mrs. John L. Gibb, Mrs. William M. Stobbs and Mrs. Rosella Mason were in charge of the dinner arrangements.
