Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1951 volume:

The Cap and Pin 1948-1951 Editor: Louise Glenn Business Manager: Billie Aldred FOREWORD The end of another year at Cabarrus School of Nursing, and we, the students of 1951, have preserved its record of our student days in this, the fourth volume of the CAP AND PIN. To those of the years gone by who peruse its pages, may it bring back memories of the days when their fresh young voices rang through the halls of the old school and their youthful footsteps echoed through its rooms. To those of the years to come, may it bring a picture of the fullness and richness of the life herein depicted, no book is necessary-----that life can never be forgotten. But, that it may be kept for us in all sweetness and vividness, we have gathered a few of its most golden moments and preserved them here in picture and written word-------a broken record of the school years 1948- 1951 in our own Alma Mater. 2 DEDICATED TO: RUTH E. PARKER BERTHA H. WOOD To one who does all she can and a little bit more.--------Who smiles at our nonsensical schemes--------Who patiently listens to our never-ending “gripes”--------Who helps us out of our tight spots------To one who has led us so capably through our 1095 student days-------- We wish to express our deep appreciation. To one deserving more, expecting nothing, ask- ing nothing in recogniton of her excellence, we rejoice in finding this humble way to serve notice of our happy discovery and appreciation of her. We trust that in distant years, it shall reawaken in her neart a warm remembrance of us and reassurance that her unselfish service will live forever. We, the class of 1951, do hereby respectfully dedicate this 1950 CAP AND PIN 3 BOARD OF TRUSTEES ■ Left to Right: Mr. G. A. Batte, Mr. Joe D. Glass, Mr. J. C. Harmon, Air. C. A.

CANNON We, the Senior Class of Cabarrus iMemorial Hospital feel most fortunate in having the wise counsel and continual interest which is bestowed upon our school and hospital by A4r. Cannon, friend to all. Realizing that much of the growth and pro- gress of our institution has been due to his many and varied contributions, we wish to express our grateful appreciation. 10 CLASS OFFICERS Alargaret Thomas Carol Williams __ Aiaxine Herman _ Ruth Brooks_______ _____President Vice President ____Secretary ____Treasurer Thomas, Herman, Brooks, Williams Miss Ruth Parker Sponsor Betty Anderson Nova Beatty Ruth Brooks Nancy Carriker Ruby Clodfelter Peggy Cole Maxine Herman Peggy Lipe Helen Morgan 13 Jearaldean Pethel Betty Query Caroline Riley Carol Williams Dorothy Wood Phyllis Wood CLASS OFFICERS Rebecca Leatherman___________________President Pansy Cruse______________________Vice President Betty Morrison_______________________Secretary Betty Williams________________________Treasurer Miss Bertha Wood Sponsor Morrison, Leatherman, Cruse, Williams Jane Abernathy Ann Beeker Margie Burris Margaret Campbell W Flora Mae Corbett Ruby Lee Crisco Cary Dowd Carolyn Harris Joyce Hepler Edith Jones Minnie Lou Bryson Marie Clymer Pansy Cruse Florine Johnson Margaret Kepley Rebecca Leatherman WBEk mmffk ■ Mildred Martin Betty Morrison Marian Moseley Violet Minton Martha Parton Hazel Phillips Helen Rogers Marie Stepp Dorothy Wilkins Betty Williams rr 2 T 7 MARY STEELMAN VICE-PRESIDENT CAROLYN JOHNSON SECRETARY JANE BRYANT PRESIDENT MISS RUTH PARKER SPONSOR JANET FRANKLIN TREASURER 2? dZkzvn Oj rf ts 2 PEGGY ALLRAN Cherryville, N.

They gave me laughter and comradeship, happiness and despair, defeat and victory mingled with hurts and all the love that went with them. They gave me pain such as I have never known, but with those years came security of a hard earned maturity. As I look back on the past three years, they remain vivid to me. It was September 13, 1948, when I, Sairy, entered Nurses’ Training at C.C.H. Shyly I made the grand entrance with my belongings and baggage and was shown to my room by Mrs. Roach, the house mother, who explained rules and regulations very clearly. These were broken, one by one. One of the first things we did after we had completed our physical examinations and entrance exams was to elect our class officers which consisted of: President, Louise Glenn; Vice-President, Ruth Cruse; Secretary and Treasurer, Janet Frank- lin; Betty Jo Smith and Lucille Strickland as representatives to Student Council. This year was chuck full of events. There was much hard studying and adjust- ing for us, but along with it came the happy events such as: student parties, Halloween Dance, Christmas Parade and Party, Valentine Dance and Glee Club events. Then came the happiest occasion of them all, “The Capping Exercise” and as we nervously accepted our Caps, we began to feel we were climbing the ladder to success. Successfully we met our assignments and before we realized it we were Juniors and electing new officers. Jane Bryant was elected President; Betty Jo Smith, Vice-President; Ruth Sides, Secretary; Charlotte Schrader, Treasurer, and Frances Coley and Eva Manuel were chosen to represent our class in Student Council. As proud Juniors, we started “getting our ducks in a row” in order to begin raising funds for our Junior-Senior Banquet and Dance and for our Annual. Many projects were tried such as selling hot-dogs and sandwiches to hospital personnel—Skating Parties—Square Dances—Canasta Parties—Junior Store—and Rummage sales which proved very successful and were enjoyed by many. We will never forget our sponsor, Miss Parker, who spent much of her time assisting us with our plans. When September rolled around again, we were tired and a little discouraged because the year had been chucked so full of work, night duty and classes, but the morning of the 13th seemed to add new life, as we carefully sewed on a little black band on our caps. Something new had been added and it meant, among 27 many other things, that another year was history and we had only one more to go. New officers for the year were: Jane Bryant as President; Mary Steelman, Vice-President; Carolyn Johnson, Secretary; Janet Franklin, Treasurer, and Imogene McCool and Eva Manual were chosen as Council Representatives. Our Senior year was mixed with separation. Our class had been as one and how we missed some of our members who chose their husbands in preference to their nursing careers when the rule was passed that students were not to marry while in training. Then a part of our class members departed for their Affiliation in Psychiatry at State Hospital in Raleigh. However, through the generosity of Miss Wood, we spent merry, unforgettable week-ends with our missed friends in Raleigh. December, January, February, March — my, how the months flew by! We were so busy with our Annual and six weeks of class until we were hardly aware of the fleeting moments. Eagerly we accepted the invitations to the Junior-Senior Banquet and Dance and our highest expectations were fulfilled. What a gay time we had that special night! The Juniors’ efforts were greatly appreciated and shall long be remembered. Graduation passed with its honors and the summer rolled by. Another September morning had arrived and I found myself discarding my little blue uniform and putting on my “whites.” Ah! At last I was a nurse, no more rules, but still vivid in my memory was our “Pledge” to “pass my life in purity and to practice my profession faithfully.” As recorded by, Margie McHargue (.c a ; i ( ------r? Tonight . . . after the ball is over, I sit musing over the events of the day and evening and though it is very late I have no desire to sleep. Yes, today was Homecoming at Cabarrus Me- morial Hospital. My elation began with regis- tration this morning and continued through the formal dance tonight at the Country Club. Many years have passed since we became “Women in White” and parted ways. . . . Billie Aldred was unable to attend the dance tonight. She finally reached her goal and now has a booming practice as obstetrician in Fayetteville. It seemed quite natural to hear that Betty McCombs Maulden is working in 28 the hospital nursery there while Frank is at Fort Bragg. He must have liked the Army! Jane Bryant truly is “iMoving On.” She looked so neat in her uniform and she is really seeing the world as stewardess for Pan-American Air Lines. Another “sharp” uniform was worn by Betty Blevins who at last is having her chance to exercise her love for “putting on a show.” She’s making quite a hit as Red Cross hostess on U.S.O. tours. Betty Jo Reid, formerly our “Smitty,” was glowing tonight. James received his discharge today, so they can really settle down in their “Blue Heaven” where “baby makes three.” . . . Janet Franklin has lost her “itch” and seems quite happy working with her sister at our “Alma Mater.” Audrey Richardson married soon after graduation and is the perfect picture of contentment now. That Johnny is a lucky guy! I was not at all surprised when I learned that Margie McHargue was in China where she is doing great work as a foreign missionary. Mary Steelman is now happily married to Robert Triplett and has such darling little Tripletts. I was so thrilled to meet Carol Farlow’s husband tonight. He seems to be such a nice person . . . but then he’d have to be that way for our Carol. Doris Padgett seems to be enjoying her work as Public Health Nurse in Statesville. Pauline Parker, formerly Treadway, was really excited tonight. She has stopped working to become mistress of their modern home. Mingling with all the brides of our class tonight was Carolyn Johnson. She’s still pondering: “Shall it be easy street in a green Buick, or that good ol’ home tbwn guy?” Peggy Allran described her work as industrial nurse for a DuPont factory recently erected near Cherryville. She seems to be finding time now for many of the things which used to be merely dreams. No longer is Charlotte Schrader carrying out orders “per Dr. . . . now it’s fulfilling requests “per Simmons.” It was nice to see Edna Grace McNeal feeling so well. Her work in that modern hospital in Wilkesboro must agree with her. With her loss of weight, Imogene McCool has lost her desire to “bid the cruel world goodbye!” Louise Glenn and Eva Manuel are finding much satisfaction in their Nursery School and Kindergarten for children of employed mothers of Cannon Mills Co. Of course they each have their own “Little Ones” for inspiration and are doing a marvelous job of proving that it is possible to mix career and marriage. Fond memories of those three years when we shared each others moments of joy, enthusiasm, discouragement and tears make sleep seem unimportant now . . . oh-oh—I have to go on duty at 7 A.M., so I must continue these thoughts in the form of dreams . . . 29 Doris Padgett r --d y) I, Sairy, being of sound mind and good nature, and spokesman for the class of 1951 of Cabar- rus Memorial Hospital School of Nursing, do hereby leave some of their most treasured possessions and appreciations to the deserving underclassmen and others in this, their last will and testament. ARTICLE I To their Doctors, they leave their most sin- cere thanks and gratitude for their kindness and understanding which will make them bet- ter nurses for the future. ARTICLE II To their faculty, they leave their sincere thanks and appreciation for all the work and effort they contributed in making their class a graduating one. ARTICLE III To the classes: To the rising Seniors they leave their un- limited ability to gripe—may they always find a willing audience. To the Freshmen, they leave three gallons of Vitamin B Complex to build them up for that which is to come. ARTICLE IV Individually they leave . . . “I, Billie Mae Aldred, leave nothing to no- body because I want everything I have.” “I, Peggy Allran, leave my memories of Dix Hill to all lovers of fun and gaiety.” “I, Gaye Blevens, being of little mind and sound body, just leave.” “I, Jane Bryant, leave this School of Nursing with my record, ‘I’m Moving On,’ in search of newer and broader fields.” “I, Carol Farlow, leave my liking for singing to Marian Mosley, hoping that she will stay in the Glee Club longer than I did.” “I, Janet Franklin, leave my ‘Itch’ to Lou Bryson, also I leave her my month to make up after September 13, 1951, hoping she en- joys them.” T, Pauline Treadway, leave my ‘Love Let- ters’ that I received from Lewis while at Dix Hill to Mildred Martin, hoping that she will receive more than I did.” “I, Louise Glenn, leave my love for Pediatrics to anyone who enjoys the ‘Little Ones’ as much as I.” “I, Carolyn Johnson, leave my Nursing His- tory book just where I found it . . . unread, unhonored and unenjoyed.” “I, Eva Manual, leave my love for night duty to Edith Jones.” “I, Betty Jean McCombs, leave my love for the Nursery to Jane Abernathy, hoping that she will enjoy working there as much as I.” “I, Imogene McCool, leave my bandage scis- sors to Violet Minton to take my place as chief barber.” “I, Marjorie McHargue, leave my ability to take life easy and never worry to Carrie Dowd.” “I, Edna Grace McNeil, bequeath my slogan, ‘Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow,’ to Becky Leatherman.” “I, Doris Mae Padgett, leave my love for this School to Ruby Crisco.” “I, Audrey Richardson, do hereby bequeath my ability to sleep at any time, place or sea- son to Hazel Phillips.” “I, Charlotte Schrader, leave my ability to find a man in this manless town to Marie Stepp, hoping her prize will be as fine as Graham.” “I, Betty Jo Smith, leave for Norfolk and James . . . gladly!!!” “I, A4ary Steelman, do hereby bequeath my eagerness to finish training and acquire my MRS. to Margie Burris.” 30 CLASS OF 1951 First row: Pauline Treadway, Louise Glenn, Jane Bryant, Peggy Allran, Audrey Richardson, Charlotte Schrader.

First, I’ll start on the right-hand drawer, Why, there’s things here I’ve never noticed before: A handkerchief of lace; A sketch or two of a dear young face; A tiny silken shoe; Letters tied with ribbon; A crushed and faded rose; A tintype marked “From John”; Two blue-velvet bows. A book of autographs; My album worn and torn Containing photographs Some gay—some forlorn. Why none of these things can be thrown away, Fiddle-dee-dee, I’ll clean my room another day. F.J. Breathes there a nurse with feet so dead Who never to herself hath said, “Dear Lord, let me stay in bed, At least until it’s dawning.” Then I’ll be up and on my way To serve humanity another day, But sleep I have to have today Or go on duty yawning. When I report-at heaven’s door To account for what has gone before, While giving you my last report For sleep, I’ll still be fawning.” M. B. STRICT ANON No being has more right to cuss than that rare creature called the Nurse, She rubs a million backs each day and at night she’s too darn tired to play, From making beds to combing hair—she’s here, she’s there, she’s everywhere, Take Jones’ pulse, give Smith his pills, she’s always hearing complaint and ills. Start a subque for Dr. Stein, watch that I.V. in 209, Raise my bed, nurse close my door, M.S. gr. !4 in number 4. Here’s to her beauty and her charm—it seems no toils can do her harm, A fool like me can make poor verse But only God can make a Nurse. 34 The Cabarrus County Hospital Alumni Association was organized in September, 1946. There were approximately 15 graduates present; these the the charter members of our organization. The constitution and by-laws of the Alumni Asso- ciation were adopted from those of Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte and Watts Hospital in Durham with a few appropriate changes. Officers were elected to serve the remainder of the year and also 1947. The first president of the Alumni Association was Mrs. Earl Motley. We had no work project for ’46-’47 as organi- zation was foremost in our minds. During the next year, 1948, we had Mrs. Paul Eary as president. This year we had social gatherings in the homes of various members. The membership of our association gradually increased to include about 25 resident members and 10 non-resident members. A resident member being one residing in this district. During this year we made Miss Louise Harkey an honorary life-time member. In 1949 we had our first project, this being compiling of clippings and pictures for a Hospital and Nursing School scrap book to be kept in the Nurses’ Library. Mrs. Raymond Bostian was president. So far in our short history, 1950 has been our busiest year. The Alumni Associa- tion started a Student Nurses’ Loan Fund. To raise money for this, we sponsored a benefit bridge party. From this we grossed around $500.00 and with some money which had been left in the bank by previous classes, this total was raised to $1000.00. During 1950 we realized our greatest ambition, this being our first home-coming. Of the 104 nurses graduated, 64 returned on October—for this occasion. A lunch- eon was given the Alumni by the Hospital, after which we held a business meet- ing in the Nurses’ Library. That night a buffet supper and semi-formal dance was held at the Cabarrus Country Club. Bob Simpson’s band played for the dance. Our president for 1950 was Mrs. Hayden Wyatt. Several Associate members joined our association in 1950, these were Ethel Mulder and Frances Farthing. By unanimous decision, we voted Mrs. Jessie Roach, housemother of the East Nurses’ Home, an honorary member of the Alumni. The membership of the Alumni Association has grown to about 35 resident and 20 non-resident members. A4iss Ruby Bounds is the president for 1951. On March at the Concord Boys’ Club, a Square Dance was held to benefit the Student Loan Fund. Thus far we of the Alumni Association have been proud of our activities and hope in years to come to be equally proud of our organization.

She ex- ercised great patience and understanding as we slowly but surely became adjusted to “rules and regulations.” We were quite a brood for Mama Roach, full of mischief and most unpredictable! We shall always have memories of her scoldings that were just severe enough to be effective, her watchful eye on that big clock when it was time for us to sign in, her work among her flowers which were so tempting to us—and her ever present interest in our activities. She was a good mama------------- EAST NURSES’ HOME MRS. JESSIE ROACH 43 Almost before we were aware that two years had passed, we were presented our marks of seniority—black bands and we were gradually moved into the Old Nurses’ Residence. It was with great reluctance that the first group moved to the other building — reluctance mingled with tears as we sang “Auld Lang Syne” in the classroom. However, the first crew became became at- tached to Mrs. Hammonds and soon the entire class was very much at home and most content in the “other home.” Mrs. Hammonds moved about in her own quiet way, encouraging us by some friendly little re- minder to adhere to the rules. We were able to go out more after moving to Mrs. Hammonds’ building due to cessation of study and so did not see her quite as much, but each one of us was always aware of the fact that we had a true friend in Mrs. Hammonds. Long will she be remembered for her kindness, sincerity, understanding and her genuine inter- est in us! MRS. BEULAH HAMMONDS OLD NURSES’ HOME 44 SAIRY learned to appreciate the good judgment of the SUPERVISORS and the soundness of their advice. Too, she found that there were many DEPART- MENTS which were vital in diagnosis and treatments, and others which were necessary for the LEGAL ASPECT. It was the HEAD NURSES, though, who, through their own experience, helped Sairy daily to become familiar with bed- side nursing and care. Thus she became sure of herself and was able to survey the Hospital and its functions as a whole and witnessed the results in the healing of the afflicted. Emergency Room—Need we say more?
