Research Facts
Ethylhexanediol was shown by Union Carbide to potentially produce birth defects in animals, including their lungs failing to inflate when they are born. Because of this discovery, products like 6-12 Insect Repellent were taken off the shelves in the 1990s and pregnant and child-bearing age women were urged not to use it.

Research Facts
There were forty-two students in Class of 1932: using the class list the names that are not legible are listed here:
"Front Row - L - R - Emma Smith -- Miss Gill Miss Wilson Miss Acton Miss Armery - Miss Livine // Miss DERBYSHIRE // 2nd Row - Lori McMaster - Elsie DAVIS - Muriel Keyes - Gertrude RANSOM - Adele BENEDICT - Irene Campbell // CORDELIA HUTSON - Gladys O'Day // 3rd Row: Norma Clark - Helen Spafford - Billie Seager - Ailene Toland - Kelen Akroyd - Mahel Johnson // Geraldine Fraser - Isabelle Hendrick"
The first official graduating class of the Kingston General Hospital School of Nursing was in 1888; the school was created in order to educate nurses as the demand for them increased, as well as providing a labour force to the hospital. When the first nurses graduated, they were given a certificate of completion, twenty five dollars, and a nursing medal. Over the years, nurses were sometimes given pins and/or rings or other memorabilia to commemorate their graduation from the school.
