Corrected entry: In the elementary school, Dr. Loomis spots Nurse Chambers and exclaims, "Oh, I hardly recognized you!" Although Nurse Chambers is wearing more make-up and is not dressed in a nurse's uniform, certainly Loomis would easily "recognize" a person with whom he shared an intimate, life-imperiling experience the night before, when Michael Myers stole their station wagon and fled the sanitarium. "Hardly recognizing" Nurse Chambers would have been a more appropriate response if the actual three year span between Halloween and Halloween II had occurred rather than the one night that was supposed to have elapsed between sequels.

Correction: In this scene Loomis says "I didn't recognize you" as opposed to "I hardly recognized you." Nurse Marion's appearance with regards to uniform, hair and makeup is significantly different than in the night before (in Halloween). On top of this, Loomis has been pretty preoccupied in the 24 hours since Michael's escape and probably has barely slept. Finally, Loomis's failure to recognize nurse Marion only lasts but a few seconds (and she also never re-introduces herself). So, yes he does recognize her and the fact that it takes him a few seconds to do so is completely explainable due to the changes in her appearance and all that Loomis had been through prior to meeting her again.
