Fifteen C550 NIGHTINGALE C-LQ!a55 6.390601 CWith apologies to Kiplingl In the dawn of early youth-time we planned a picture rare: It should be of the gayest of colors, and charm the critics fairg All the colors of the prism, and others of bright array, Should blend to make our picture the gayest of the gay. We bought a three-leagued canvas, and planned a league a year, To blend and hold our colors for which we had paid so dear, And the softest of silken brushes the market could afford We employed to spread our colors and paint this brightest hoard. But alas! for the fairest colors, and the canvas we had bought, For we find the truest pictures in our life's-blood must be wrought: Each must paint in her own fondest colors, And we find the brightest places are those we have painted for others. As we think of the places we have failed, and the things we might have done For the pleasure of faithful service and the friends we might have won, Our colors may not be the gayest, but with love they truly beam, And in the great good end may the Poet's be our theme. G6 When earth's last picture is painted, and the tubes are twisted and dried, When the oldest colors have faded, and the youngest critics have died, We shall rest, and, faith! we shall need it-lie down for an eon or two, Till the Master of all good workmen shall set us to work anew. G. B. Sixteen C569 NIGHTINGALE W m z.. s :mo lays C53-fzkfo ry ENIORS! Can it be possible that we are seniors, and soon to gradu- ate? Yet, three years can be a mighty short space of time when spent pleasantly. It seems hardly any time since the first members of our class were probes, and watching with anxious eyes for the other section which would make up the Class of 1927. Can anyone ever forget that first night at Rex on a tear-soaked pillow? But, Watchman, what of the morning? With red eyes, we dressed painstakingly to meet Miss Doe in chapel. Speaking of soldiers-it took some real ones to force coffee and toast down that constricted esophagus of ours, and we were glad to escape further efforts. Then came the initial instructions in our work-my! but there were lots of them. Life seemed one tragedy after another that first day. There was the call before the Superintendent, the donning of long dresses, and the fare- well to stylish coiffures. Terrible as it seemed, we soon found it was only the beginning, for classes were on schedule. The demonstration doll seemed one of us, and Jimmie, the skeleton, grew to be quite familiar- so familiar, in fact, that he even inhabited our closets and wardrobes at unearthly hours. We realized later those were happy days, for did we ever cry so much, as probes even, as we did on the night Miss Doe left us? But who can cry salty tears and work? We began to realize we must make progress. The work in the wards was interesting and fruitful, while our class work was instructive. Several of our members fell by the wayside as Dan Cupid demanded his toll, but our righteous indignation was alleviated by the entrance of Miss Howard and Miss Frazier as intermediates. After all our losses we numbered six, but we were six happy, hale, and hearty girls. And now for some hard work. On came the lectures by Doctors Neal and Dewar, and Doctor Carroll's Now, the next young lady became a quite familiar phrase. More knowledge added greater responsibility. There was night duty and charge work. But don't for one minute think we worked all the time. Afternoons off saw us riding, shopping, or attending a matinee. The evenings found us around the victrola, dancing. Seventeen C560 NIGHTINGALE 011I1'IJIlI!I!11111II'1Ix 2 W .D K IIZIIJIIIIIIJIIDI? 1. U ,W MD The Summer of 1926 came and we were seniors! Could it be possible that we were to wear our black bands? But what was all this commotion? A party !-yes, a real party, with ice cream and cake. But the happiest time was coming yet, when Miss Marshbanks presented us with our black bands. With what dignity we stepped on the halls and how high we held our heads! This was the beginning of a round of parties, good times, and vacations for the summer. As fall approached we took up our senior duties in earnest, realizing this was our last chance before the final reckoning. But horror of horrors I-what did Miss Beeker say-a class at 6:30 a. m.? Yes, it certainly was true. Those were days when Saturdays and Sundays were appreciated, for then we could sleep thirty minutes more. The class- room became almost our living quarters, for we were there until 9 o'clock every night. Christmas holidays brought a well-deserved Cwe thoughtj rest. There is not one who will not remember with appreciation and love our last Christmas in the hospital. If anything could crown our joys at Rex, this did. Our tree was wonderful and held scores of presents for all. And then just as we sank into belated slumber the carols rang out on the cold night air. It seemed no time until the bell was ringing, but for once it was a welcome sound. For the Hrst time in the history of our hospital we were allowed to sing Christmas carols to our patients in the wards and to carry some gift or little remembrance to each of the patients. Many weary faces lighted up and there were no few tears as they tried to show their appreciation. As Spring came again the realization dawned that we were soon to part, but we could not dwell on that, for lectures still poured in, and exams. were to be taken. Too, there were many informal merrymakings. As seniors we were guests of honor at banquets and balls. We were kept busy, but we were happier than we had ever been before. There needed only one more word to crown our happiness, and that was on the horizon just ahead-commencement! As we leave the walls of our dear Alma Mater we look back with pleasure on our past. We trust Time to erase any heartaches there might have been, and Love to keep awake and bring back sweet memories that set joy bells ringing. Eighteen C569 NIGHTINGALE 'vzmmmmmv mv Amnmlrmmmmm 'uw' QQIMJ Glllrophecy T WAS the Spring of 1937, one of those warm Spring days that makes the house almost unbearableg at least it seemed that way to me. Thank heavens! my work was done for the day and I was free to get out in the open, which was calling me. I turned the lock on the operating room of the New Hope Hospital of the State of l and, catching up a rug and pillow, I started out for my favorite haunt under the elm. My! but it was cool and refreshing. I sank back, determined for the moment to be a lady of leisure. Then it suddenly came to me that it was the twelfth of May. Ten years ago today I had received my diploma and started out on my determination, for I certainly had nothing else. I had been busy and the time had passed so rapidly that I had lost track of my classmates and every old association. Letters are so unsatisfactory that I had almost ceased to write, so had not heard lately. How nice it was to lie there and just think! Suddenly, I found myself in the most beautiful of rose gardens, or was it one of Gene Stratton Por- ter's forests? I could not say which, but if Adam and Eve had been there it would certainly have been a perfect Garden of Eden. I had never seen such magnificent roses or lovely foliage in any of my travels. I reached out to take a rose-a whole bunch of them-for a favorite patient, when suddenly I felt a presence and, looking around, saw a little old man-if a man he could be called-he was so tiny. His hair and beard were very white, and I knew at once he must be old. His eyes blinked in such a jolly way that I was not at all afraid of him. Oh, I know who you areg you are Fate! I cried. Do answer just one question for me. And now I know who you are, he said. You are a mortal, for only mortals are curious, and I also know what you wish to ask. You would like to know where your old friends are-and that is a big question all in one. No, I said g I will be satisfied just to know what has become of my classmates of 1927, and what they are doing. He laughed. You are as reasonable as any mortal I have ever found. You want to know, in a few minutes of time, ten years of the lives of five Nineteen C560 NIGHTINC-ALE m W ,D 54 UHJIIIIIUIIIIIW' 1. ,s 0-m people-years that have cost them so many heartaches, throbs, and joys. Yes, about as reasonable as most mortals! Well, we will see what we can do. I will stir the coals on my altar, but you will have to watch closely to catch everything, for a vision is like life-a transient thing which cannot be given again. I quickly rubbed my eyes, though I assure you they did not need to be opened. He stepped, or rather tripped, to an altar on which lay a pile of coals. He stirred them-with what, do you suppose? His foot! I was so surprised that I almost lost what came next. When I looked around for the funny old man he was nowhere to be seen. I was alone and was trem- bling. I quickly remembered what he had said, however, and fixed my eyes on a mist which was slowly rising from the altar. Up and up it rolled until it formed a white, ever-changing cloud of mist a few feet from me. It changed so constantly that I had to strain my eyes to catch what was happening. But were there not moving forms, and a house, too? Yes, a dear little white cottage with green ivy around the curbstones. A young woman came out just as a car drew up in front of the door and greeted Jim and two children in endearing terms. I looked at the face closely and was both pleased and not at all surprised to see that it was our own little Frazier. Oh, how perfectly happy she looked! But the scene was changing, and I seemed at sea. Yes, surely enough at sea, and during a storm. Oh, how thrilling!-at sea in a beautiful white and gold ship! There was a row of white beds, and I realized that these beds held sufering forms. But wonders would never cease, for there bending over one of these very beds was Miss Howard. She was soothing one of the patients, and I heard her say to him, Don't worry, I am the nurse in charge of the ship, and you are safe. I was so happy that I was going to call her, but suddenly she had vanished and another scene caught my eyes. I was in a large assembly room. People greeted each other on all sides, and I noted that the guests were in full evening attire. Everybody seemed so excited, and tried to talk at once. I wanted to hear what an elderly lady with spectacles on her nose was saying, but there was such a hub-bub that I could not hear myself think. Singling out a rather kind- looking old gentleman who looked like a F.A.C.S., I asked him if he could enlighten me as to the entertainment. He checked a surprised look and Twenty C569 NIGHTINGALE wm1mm W mmmm , . 11:40 asked if I had not met the noted authoress, Miss Constance Rivers. It was now my turn to keep from looking surprised. On further inquiry I found that the book which she had written was on the use of proteid diet in the treatment of anemia, and had been recognized by the public as the leading work in its line. The F.A.C.S. were highly elated, so gratified that they were giving this reception in her honor. Just then there was a stir near the door, and no other than Connie herself appeared, bowing and smiling. Applause after applause greeted her approach. I wanted to stay longer, but suddenly remembered that I was not an invited guest, and found my way out, thinking of how much pleasure Connie must have gotten out of having a use for all her big words and highly exaggerated expressions. The next scene was equally as interesting. I found myself in a school- room, and the teacher was saying, The visiting nurse will now speak to the children. Forty little faces brightened as the nurse arose. I had had so many surprises that I was not at all shocked to see Miss Smith, who was the visiting nurse. Yes, she was my old classmate in the form of a school nurse. Her hair was piled high on her head and she wore a high, stiff collar. I was just in the act of trying to see if she wore a gold band on her third finger when the scene changed again. But surely this was a foreign country. Rich palms swayed gently in the breeze. The houses were queer and the people were more so. I found myself in a church. The music had a foreign note, but I seemed to have heard it somewhere before. Oh, yes, it was Mendelssohn's Wedding March. Of course, I looked for the bride, and there she came-our Cath- erine on the arm of a gentleman, and in Africa! Then, I remembered that she always had wanted to be a missionary. The preacher was calling the names, and I heard him say Verne. In a few minutes it was all over and I was just going to speak to them when someone shook me violently. Wake up there, you sleepy-head! Don't you know that we have a Caesarean posted in thirty minutes, and have been looking for you everywhere? Here is a letter, and you will just have time to read it. I yawned and hastily opened it. To my surprise, it was from Miss Becker, who is touring Europe. She said that she just had to Write and tell me that Miss Marshbanks fshe used to bel and her husband were spending a week with her in Paris. Twenty-one w i e NIGHTINGALE M. ,sh U-U7 Qhe Q6zfi0rz'an ROM the day we were crowned with our white caps, our hopes were on the goal of seniorhood. Could it be possible that we would one day be seniors, and pin a black band fthe badge of great honorj on our caps? The anticipation was only a minor key to the reality itself. We tried to walk the halls with dignity even if our heads seemed twice their usual size. We were a jolly, fun-loving bunch, but we knew when to work and when to play. We led our class, we assumed responsibility, and so the year-even our last year-sped on as only time can. As Spring approached and it neared commencement, my classmates seemed more a part of me than ever before. Separation stared me in the face. I thought of them individually, I thought of them collectively, and it dawned on me that I would like to give each of my classmates a little remembrance to carry with them and remind them of our days together. And now the question was, what to give them-just what would they appreciate most? There is Miss Rand, our oldest member, who loves pretty clothes and is always worrying over the fig leaves. I think she must have heard somewhere that the hat is the most noticeable part of a lady's attire, for she is always wanting a new hat. If she doesn't have a new one just the right shape and shade, she will invariably borrow one or go bareheaded. One day I was passing the five- and ten-cent store when I saw an adver- tisement which read, Hats all shades and colors, hats which will please the fastidiousf' Of all things! I exclaimed as I entered the shop. After considerable search I found this little inexpensive hat which I think will suit Miss Rand, and the beautiful part of it is that it is all shades and colors,', and can be worn with all her dresses. I hope she will have lots of pleasure in wearing it. For a long time it was a puzzle trying to decide what to give Miss Smith. She, like Miss Rand, is always worrying over clothes, but with her it happens to be shoes. Will we ever forget the trouble she has had in getting shoes that were comfortable? There is an inkling abroad that the shoe men knew her by sight and escaped if possible. I decided to save her further embarrassment, if possible, and get her a pair of shoes that she Twenty-two 1 ummnmmm mnumnunmmmunmuuuuumumnumuunmeunumunmumuunmu llmsuummllmunmlmummmunuumm El. .ai would enjoy wearing. Miss Smith, I hope you will get as much pleasure out of wearing them as I did in purchasing them Ca good-looking salesman sold them to mel . After making these two purchases, I left the clothing department, for I had already decided what would be most appropriate for Miss Howard. When in the presence of high and mighty dignitaries, Miss Howard suffers from a constricted larynx and can't talk even a wee bit 3 so for her I have purchased this talking machine. Why is it so small, you ask? I bought it that way on purpose, so she can slip it into her mouth when' she feels her malady coming on, and then she will be able to talk-perhaps sing a pretty tune for us. To quiet Miss Rivers, who is Very timid and shy, and who wants to talk, but can't, because she can't use large words and sarcastic expressions like the rest of us, I have finally run across this large complete new edition of Webster's Dictionary, which if used rightly will be very useful to her in the future, and enable her to join in our conversation and know what we are talking about. There is still a very important member of our class, which happens to be Miss Frazier. What makes her so blue is more than We can understand. We never see her laugh or smile. We would enjoy hearing her laugh once before we separate. I am presenting her with this joke book for encour- agement, and with it the admonition not to be afraid of the contagion of smiles. There are others, not classmates, to whom I would like to give some- thing, Miss North, for one. I would like to present her with a pair of Internes -if there are such animals to be found in the U. S. A. Maw, I'm sure, will appreciate an assistant to help her with her bells and the phone. To Miss Chappell I would like to give a pair of rubber heels, so she will not disturb the patients. Since Miss Stough will never quit worrying until she has found the lost proteins, I have decided to present her with a few very choice ones which she may be able to use. Then there is Miss Whitney, who isn't yet used to our warm climate, and in order that she may enjoy the Summer I want her to have this Chinese fan. There is still one very important gift which I think will be deeply appreciated. It goes to Miss Tucker, our baby both in manner and size. It is a box of Mellen's Food, which if used regularly will insure health and happiness.

C559 NIGHTINGALE An Angel of Mercy How softly now her footsteps fall Along the corridor and hall, In answer to someone in pain Who strives to live, but strives in vain! Her hand, when placed on fevered brow, Brings long-sought, peaceful rest, and now, As smiles illuminate her face, Life seems divine, not commonplace. All through the night she labors on, And e'en unto the break of dawn, To bring a comfort sweet, serene, That seemeth as a golden dream. Her whitened uniform, so pure, ls emblematic, I am sure, Of all that far-off land above Where dwells the God of Peace and Love.

That he was an unobtrusive man, who did not seek notoriety, appears from the brief notice of his death, to be found in the column of deaths of the issue of the Weekly Raleigh Register and Gazette of February 5, 1839, which read: . Died, in this city on Wednesday last, John Rex, an old and respectable citizen. But in the issue of the week following it appears that his Will had been admitted to probate, and the public is informed of what he had done for his fellowman. It states that he had died a bachelor, and given his entire estate in North Carolina to Duncan Cameron and George W. Morde- cai, Who were leaders in the financial circles of this section, and Whom he had appointed executors and trustees-in trust, first, to pay his debts, then .FOTty-H1766 W0MEN's WARD C5542 NIGHTINGALE ,v Q- 9 A, Azummmnmmnm fumnmmnnm .M gc, Uv limb to provide for the manumission of his slaves, seventeen in number, and their removal, under the auspices of the African Colonization Society, and their establishment in a colony in Africa, and then to turn over the residue of his estate, with twenty-one acres of land on the western boundary of the city, to trustees for the establishment of a hospital for the sick and afflicted poor of the city of Raleigh. With an apology for the brief announcement of the week before, the notice concludes: John Rex was one of those unobtrusive, modest men who pursue, undisturbed, the even tenor of their way, content with discharging the duty they owe to society, and studiously avoiding public notoriety. It does not appear just when John Rex came to Raleigh, but a deed recorded in the Register's office of this county shows that on September 18, 1799, he bought 264 acres of land on House's Creek, Wake County. This was just seven years after the city was laid off in squares and lotsg and as he must have taken some time in selecting the plantation, it is fair to infer that his tombstone speaks the truth in saying he was one of the earliest settlers in Raleigh. That deed and another for 265 acres of land, dated February 16, 1802, show that he could not have come to the new city a penniless adventurer, but must have been of the class of immigrants who are of advantage to any community. His will, which was written in No- vember before his death, shows that he belonged to a family of more than usually prosperous people, and that when he left his native home he owned, or had acquired since, a tract of fifty acres of land in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, which with the buildings on it was of such consequence that it was known as the Broad Axe Tavern. And the will recites that his near relatives were advanced in life and in comfortable circumstances, and needed nothing he was able to give them, therefore he had Cto use his own languagej determined to dispose of the estate which it has pleased God to bestow on me, in a long life of labor and economy, in the way which accords with my own judgment and will most extensively promote the welfare of others. So he proceeds to dispose of his whole estate, with the exception of the Broad Axe Tavern, which he gives to a namesake, the son of a distant relative in Pennsylvania, in charity, as has been stated. That he was not an abolitionist in principle is indicated by the fact that, though the will provides for the manumission of his slaves, a clause is Forty-five MEN's WARD CTM NIGHTINGALE 'uzmm1mmm' mv Ammlmnmmrmm UMD added that, if any of them refuse to be taken to Africa, they shall be sold and the funds arising from the sale used for the benefit of those who go. It does not appear whether he had any church affiliations, or that he was buried with religious services, but supposing he had the naming of his slaves, of which a list is given in the will, we may infer from the names of Abraham and Sampson, Asa and Benjamin, Hagar and Ruth, Martha and Sunday, that he was a reader of the Bible and had respect for the Christian Sabbath. Whether he was accustomed to attend the preaching of the Gospel or not, his deliberate disposition of his worldly possessions leads us to believe that he had imbibed the essence of the teaching of the Master, to wit, the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. In the second notice of Mr. Rex's death, in the paper, he is spoken of as a tanner. Whether that had always been his business we do not know g but tradition says his tanyard was just north of the original city limits, and the parcel on which is now to be seen, some fifty yards west of the Seaboard yards, a clear spring, formerly called Rex's Springs, was purchased by him April 5, 1826. The tract of twenty-one acres, devised for a site for the future hospital, was bought in two parcels, in 1813 and 1817, respectively. It is said that he died in a little red house of two rooms on this tract. John Rex's estate seems to have been worth at the time of his death, including the slaves at an average value of four or five hundred dollars each fa conservative estimatej, about twenty-five thousand dollars, a handsome estate then, in this section. Upon settlement of their accounts by the executors it was found that after the sale of the personal property, other than the slaves, and the realty other than the twenty-one acres devised to the hospital, the estate, after payment of debts, funeral expenses, charges of administration, etc., amounted to 814,850.50 The General Assembly of 1840-41 passed an act chartering a corpora- tion to be known as the Trustees of Rex Hospital, which was to be man- aged by five citizens of Raleigh, to be nominated by the commissioners, or aldermen, of the city for appointment by the Supreme Court of the State, and vacancies were to be filled and are now filled in like manner. There- upon a petition was filed in the Supreme Court for the appointment of five persons named as trustees, to provide for carrying out the purposes of the Forty-seven gifs, , w y ggi EM SH an mmm V an mem , X gy BYE, V Q fi.

A decree was rendered accordingly. The executors paid to the trustees 310,300.67 in good bonds of individuals, but of this, 3698.61 was afterwards ordered to be turned over to supply a deficiency in the fund intended for the colonization of the slaves in Africa, leaving a net balance of 259,602.06 The amount used for the transportation of the Negroes to Liberia was about 9,S5,400. The five trustees first appointed in 1841 were William H. Battle, William Peace, Thomas J. Lemay, James Litchford, and Richard Smith. Mr. Battle had recently been made a judge of the Superior Court, Mr. Peace was a retired merchant and afterwards founder of Peace Institute, Mr. Litchford was a merchant tailor, Mr. Lemay was the accomplished editor of the Raleigh Star, and Mr. Smith was a merchant and Raleigh's wealth- iest citizen. It can be truthfully said that they were leading citizens of our then little city. The hospital fund, invested and reinvested until April, 1861, was then reported as amounting to 335,262.14 in stocks of the Bank of the State and Bank of Cape Fear and bonds of individuals. During the War Between the States those bonds were nearly all collected and invested in State bonds, some of the issue from 1862 to 1864, and Confederate bonds and stock script. Most of the funds became worthless by results of the war. The trustees realized what they could from the old State bonds, and invested and reinvested the proceeds in bonds secured by mortgage, except a few hundred dollars which they expended in building a small house on the grounds devised for the hospital. This house, with such of the land as was fit foricultivation, was rented and something more realized from year to year than was needed to keep the fences and house in repair, and the net rent was added to the invested fund. By 1893 the solvent securities had increased to about 330,000, and it was suggested by the city authorities that if the trustees would provide a suitable hospital, the city would pro- vide a supplementary income of 332,000 annually from its treasury, so that the intended charity could be made effectual. The offer was approved, and the trustees proceeded to look into the matter of providing a hospital build- ing. The land devised for the purpose, which lies some distance south of Forty-nine Z, R S ll I Yi 4 960 NIGHTINGALE W the North Carolina Railroad and extends to Rocky Branch, with a ravine running through it, into which was drained much of the surface water from that end of the city, was pronounced by some of our leading physi- cians as objectionable on hygienic grounds for the location of a hospital. Upon application of the trustees, a committee of the State Board of Health was then appointed to view the premises and determine whether they were objectionable as a place for the treatment of the sick. The committee, upon careful examination, unanimously condemned the location. The trus- tees thereupon resolved, with the approval of the city government, to sell the land and establish a hospital at a more suitable place. The land, by permission of the court, was sold in parcels from time to time and brought a net aggregate of about 36,000. St. John's Guild, a charitable organization of the Episcopal churches in Raleigh, supported entirely by contributions, had bought the old Manly mansion, with something over an acre of land, on South Street, the present location of the hospital, and was conducting hospital work there, but real- izing that the city was not large enough to support two charity hospitals, the Guild proposed to sell to the trustees of Rex Hospital. On August 4, 1893, the sale was made, at the low price of 34500, the amount of the obligations of St. John's Guild on account of the property. The old build- ing was then repaired and an annex of two stories for colored patients was erected. The work was organized, matron and nurses engaged, and the hospital opened for patients May 1, 1894. The Raleigh Academy of Medi- cine agreed to give their services to charity patients, in committees of four to serve in rotation, two months at a time. That has been kept up by the Hospital Board and the present staff. In consideration of the contribution of thecity, the trustees agreed, in addition to the indigent sick of Raleigh, to care for such patients, Whether of the city or elsewhere, as in emergency might be sent to the hospital by the Mayor or Chief of Police. In 1896, at the request of some of the physicians who had been giving their services to charity patients, an annex of eight rooms was built for pay patients. The trustees were persuaded that the income from these patients would conduce to the benefit of the charity patients. The oper- ating room was furnished by some charitable women, known as the Ladies' Hospital Aid Association. Not long thereafter the Ministering Circle of Fifty-one QA? 12:95 W , ' A 332 -:-:XS E K , -ww N X Z'7'3,T' fvf , x 'WJ A Q xx- , ., 1' OPERATING RooM 1 29 0 CHQ NIGHTINGALE W. King's Daughters, another organization of charitable women, supplied money for an annex of one room on the opposite of the building for a chil- dren's ward, and for some time they partly supported a cot in that ward. Soon after the erection of this ward Colonel and Mrs. Benehan Cameron gave to the hospital six shares of stock in the North Carolina Railroad Company, as a partial endowment of a bed in memory of Paul Carrington Cameron, their infant son, who had recently died. Since then Mrs. Pauline Cameron Shepard gave a legacy of 32,000 to the corporationg later Mrs. Charles H. Belvin, a niece of another great benefactor of the city, Mr. R. S. Pullen, bequeathed to the hospital bonds of near the value of 34,000, to which her husband added 31,000 for an endowment. The trustees further received a legacy of 31,500 under the will of Mrs. Lucy C. Capehart, to be used in the erection of a memorial to her mother, to be known as The Lucy Williams Boddie Moore Memorial. The main body of the hospital building, which had been erected about seventy years ago, was getting in bad condition and required frequent repairs, and in fact the entire hospital was becoming antiquated and far inferior to the requirements of a city of the size and importance of Raleigh. The trustees therefore determined, with the approval of the city govern- ment, to remove the old buildings and erect on their site a modern and convenient brick building. The cornerstone of the new building was laid with appropriate Masonic ceremonies in 1908, and the building was opened for the reception of patients in September, 1909. During the nine months required for the erection of the new building the hospital was housed in an old residence on Glenwood Avenue. The addition of one more building, the purchase of a nurses home, and needed improvements in the building already erected have brought the plant up to its present condition.

The Professional Nurse The world grows brighter year by year Because some nurse, in her little sphere, Puts on her apron and cap and sings And keeps on doing the same old things- Taking the temperatures, giving the pills To remedy mankind's numerous illsg Feeding the babies, answering the bells, Being polite with a heart that rebelsg Longing for home and all the while Wearing the same old professional smileg Blessing the new-born babe's first breath, Closing the eyelids that are still in death, Taking the blame for the doctor's mistakes- Oh! dear, what a lot of patience it takes. Going off duty at seven o'clock, Tired, discouraged, just ready to drop, But called back on Special at seven-fifteen, With a woe in her heart that must not be seen. Morning, evening, noon, and night, Just doing it over and hoping it's right. When we lay down our caps and cross the bar, O Lord, will you give us just one little star To wear in our caps with uniforms new In that city above where our head nurse is You? Give Me a Friend Give me a friend who understands, With whom my heart may share The strains and stress of the day's demands, Its triumphs and its care. Give me a friend whose faith in me Is greater than time or space, Who counts me as dear at the end of the world As when we are face to face. Give me a friend like that, and then What matter what life may do? This was the prayer God answered when He led me straight to YOU! Fifty-eight Y C560 NIGHTINGALE 'lmllmlmml imwod- 'D' 'mmmmmm K W CA. LTHOUGH an active interest has been shown in Y. W. C. A. work for about four years, the Rex Hospital group was not definitely organ- ized until October, 1926. The main purpose, at this time, was to bring the girls into closer fellowship with each other and to round out the life of the school, emphasizing the spiritual element. The first step after organizing was to start a Bible study class, con- ducted by Miss Alice Laidlaw, secretary of the Raleigh Y.W. Besides these classes, we often had social hour. The new organization has not yet reached the achievements that are its aims, but it has brought us into closer contact with outside interests, and has, we hope, created more of an interest in spiritual things. 1 Y.
