Is this how Weight Watchers got started?

In order to weed out the squemish, new nursing students were told they would be weighed while having their student ID picture taken.

For anyone not wearing not wearing the approved uniform, an extra 5 lbs will be added to your total weight. 

Prior to the big orientation picnic, new nursing students learned a lesson in patience today as the Head Nurse insisted on guessing everyone's weight before releasing the students.  Said one baffled student, "She wasn't even close!  I expected a better guess from a nurse!"

"Golly, you School of Nursing students are really 'measuring up' to our high standards here at I.U.," chuckles Nurse Betty.  "Get it?  Measuring up??" she snorts.  The future nurses are not amused. 

Once height and weight were determined, a new student's head fat could be calculated.

Measurement confirmed that while the strong linear patterns the subjects were wearing made them appear taller, their height actually remained unchanged.

"Pay attention, ladies! This is how a pro goes through the Head Patting Contraption."

The first scalp massager to relieve the stress of weigh-in.

The woman in the front insists that her weight is incorrect and the ladies in the back are like why you lying.

Entrance requirements to the Nursing program have changed over the years.  This photo was taken just prior to the swimsuit competition.

Hmm should I tell her she has gum in her hair??

Well you're tall enough, but honestly Gretel you could use a few pounds...seems like your brother Hansel was just as bony!
