W. Cannon gave to Cabarrus County five and one-half acres of land on Highway 29A between Concord and Kannapolis on which to build a county hospital. The hospital was built through a bond issue and assistance from Duke Endowment of Charlotte. It opened in 1937 with 55 adult beds and 1 0bassinets. An addition was constructed in 1940, making the capacity 140 beds and 40 bassinets. February 1952 brought the open- ing of another new addition to the hospital. Cabarrus Memorial Hospital is now one of the most modern hospitals in North Carolina. The January 1951 Legislature of North Carolina made effective the change of the name Cabarrus County Hospital to Cabarrus Memorial Hospital. APPROVED AND ENDORSED BY American College of Surgeons American Medical Association American Hospital Association Carolinas -Virginia Hospital Association North Carolina State Medical Society North Carolina State Nurses Association A grade.A training school was opened in 1942. In 1947, the school of nursing became affiliated with Queens College of Charlotte, North Car- olina, and now offers an R. N. and two years of college credit toward a B. S. in nursing. Schools of nursing were recently classified in a National Survey made by a committee of representatives from every state. In this survey, schools were classified according to size and according to basic train- ing given to students. Schools with as many as 90 students and giving clinical experience in a hospital having an average census of 200 patients daily and meeting certain educational standards were in Group I. Duke University School of Nursing is the one school in North Carolina in this group. Schools with less than 90 students, and having basic clinical experience in a hospital with less than a 200 patient daily average and also meeting certain definite standards of instruction, specified standards as to qualifications of instructors and head nurses, care with health of students, adequate library facilities, and a good basic curriculum were in Group II. Of the forty-two nursing schools in North Carolina, Cabarrus Memorial Hospital School of Nursing was one of the eighteen falling in Group II. All other schools were not listed but if so, would have been in Group III. 7 EXECUTIVES WBBmSgm -- ■ Miss Louise Harkey, R. N. Superintendent Paul E. Jones, M. D. Chief of Staff J. W.

There are some things we would rather not remember; however, we can usually find enough happy moments to more than make up for the unhappy ones. It is true that the past three years have given us what we feel has been our share of despair, defeats and disappointments; but mingled with these we have found a great deal of happiness, laughter, comradeship, and finally a measure of victory. As I review the events of our past three years, they remain vivid to me. It was September 6,1949, that we began our three year cruise by entering Nurses' Training at CMH. We were so eager and yet a bit frightened as we made our entrance with our baggage and were shown to our rooms by our House Mother, Mrs. Roach. We had hardly deposited our belongings in our rooms and saida weak Hello” to our room- mates, when we were ushered to the Nursing Arts Lab for our physicals. After these preliminaries were taken care of, one of the first things we did was to elect our class officers who were: Pres- ident, Margaret Kepley; Vice President, Betty Morrison; Martha Parton, Secretary and Treasur- er, Rebecca Leatherman. This first year was filled to overflowing with studying and adjusting, but along with these came the social events, such as the Halloween Carnival, Christmas Party Valentine Dance and student parties. The crowning occasion of the year came when we nervous- ly but joyously received our little pieces of white muslin. It was then that we realized we had reached a very important milestone in our journey. The time seemed to fly by after we received our caps, and before we hardly realized it, we were Juniors. It was then our responsibility to raise funds for our Junior-Senior banquet and Dance and for our Annual. Many money making schemes were tried, such as selling sandwiches and soft drinks -- skating parties -- Halloween catnival -- and rummage sales. It was here that so many times Miss Wood saved our ship from sinking. We could never have sailed on without you, Miss Wood! With the advent of the next September, came little black bands to be carefully sewed on our caps. You would never believe it possible for a narrow piece of black ribbon to contain so much spirit and encouragement as it did for the new Seniors. We were so proud ofour be-ribbon- ed caps, but we also realized that we would be called on to accept greater responsibilities. In any event, we knew then that we had successfully completed another year of our journey. During our Senior year we became even closer to each other. Groups of six to ten went for their affiliation in Psychiatry at State Hospital in Raleigh. We were so happy when we could all be together once more at CMH! After the last group returned in January, the months flew by! We had our final classes in February and March. Then before we realized it, we were receiving our invitations to the Jun- ior-Senior Banquet and Dance. What a grand time we all had that night. Thanks so much, Jun- iors! Graduation came and went with all of its pomp and glory and the summer months rolled by. The final September morning finally arrived and we found ourselves discarding our blue uniforms and replacing them with our whites. At last we had reached the port toward which we had been sailing for the past three years. Many winds had buffeted our sails and it seemed at times we would surely hit the rocks, but finally we were nurses! Engraved on our hearts and minds was the Pledge to pass my life in purity and to practice my profession faithfully. As recorded by, Martha Parton 28 PROPHECY Tonight as I sit out on deck of this huge naval carrier and listen to the lapping of the waves, I suddenly am aware of a name I noticed as a new nurse on this trip across. Why -- my former classmate, Cary Dowd, what a surprise to see her after all these years; she finally succeeded in joining our dear Navy, It seems she has done a good job of keeping up with all of our class- mates. She says Becky Leatherman Fritts, Dot Wilkins Beaman, Joyce Hepler Kluttz, and Margaret Keply Cress became War Brides shortly after graduation. Keep the home fires burning girls — they need your support! Betty Ruth Morrison Towel is doing a nice job in her day Nursery in Kannapolis. Margie Burris Bonds and Helen Rogers Lambert find it convenient to leave Susie and Johnny in her care while they do General Duty at Cabarrus Memorial Margaret Campbell Synder is still living in Fayetteville and working at the Veteran's Hos- pital. Lucky Keith! Violet Minton Jones and Pansy Cruse are sharing a cozy apartment in Raleigh. They are still dodging things at Clark Building in Dix Hill. It seems that our Bubbles Phillips and her new love, Ralph, are carrying out things nicely at Cherry Building. Oh, well we understand that Edith (Jones) and Bowling are taking out their maritial disagreements on the poor patients in Male Insulin. Ah! my dear former roommate, Betty Mason Cuasby is now in the air at last. She flies with her Lt. husband and the Air Force pilots says she does a good job of entertaining. Well, Marie Stepp, how she does get around -- now she's in the U. S. Senate fighting for better wages and working conditions for the nursing profession. Flora Corbett described her dreams as now being a reality. She’s an industrial nurse work- ing at Cagle's Mills Company. I bet the men get hurt on purpose, eh, Flora? Mildred Martin finally took a post-graduate course in Public Health and is settled nicely in Davidson County with her co-worker, Florine Johnson. Ann Beeker and Ruby Criscoe really get the wolf-whistles now. They are working in the Infirmarvat North Carolina State College. Could they have anything to do with the census being sc high? Marie Jones, formerly Clymer, now has her hands full with twins. Hop made a Lucky Strike. With the experience Jane Abernethy received in OB at Cabarrus, she has consented to teach midwifery to the native women in Africa where she is stationed with the U. S. Army. It wasn't too great a surprise to learn that Martha Parton is doing great work on the mission fields in Asia Minor. I see Minnie Lou Bryson did well for herself. Not every girl can have maids to look after her New York Estate while she keeps the office for her surgeon husaband. Carolyn Harris surely is catching all the eligible males with her pretty suntan. We see she kept her word about taking life easy after she finished training. Even has her own beach now. As our carrier pulls into harbor, I see Betty Paschal, formerly our Williams, waiting to greet us. She is living in Japan with Dewey and greets all American ships that come into dock. Guess its time for Dowd and me to straighten our caps and report to the commanding of- ficer. Smoother sailing next trip. Bon Voyage! Lt. Marian Moseley 29 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the senior class of 1952, realizing that the days are nearing an end on board ship, feel that it is proper for us to hereby leave our most valued assets, whether they be material or otherwise, to those whom we believe are most worthy, hoping that your ship may sail as smoothly as ours did! Article I To the Doctors, we leave our sincere appreciation for all they have done for us and the fond mem- ories we have had in association with them in the past three years. Article II To the faculty, we leave our sincere thanks and gratitude for making our three year voyage a successful one. Article III To the rising Seniors, we leave our gripes, happiness, unhappiness or otherwise; we just leave it all! To the Freshmen, we leave the only thing we have left -- some good advice. Be good, be care- ful, be smart and be wise, and someday too you may become highly-educated seniors. Article IV UPON OUR LOG YE SHALL FIND To Phyllis Wood I, Ann Beeker, leave my canasta cards in hopes that she will stay home more and become a skilled canasta player. I, Lou Bryson, hereby bequeath and will all my giggles to Maxine Herman in hopes that she might use them. My ability to go through training, I, Flora Mae Corbett, leave to Martha Belanga knowing it may be useful. 1, Pansy Cruse, leave all my good times in Raleigh which are written on the walls of Club Fif- teen. To Jearaldean Pethel I, Helen Rogers, will my ability to come off of work at 7:00 and go out at 7:05. I, Jane Abernathy, will my twinkling eyes that have a certain appeal, to Betsy Myers. To Betty Lou Witt, I, Carolyn Harris, will my ability to sleep any time and any place. I, Mildred Martin, will my penetrating voice to Margaret Atwood. To Dorothy Wood, I, Margaret Kepley, will my board bed, assuring her of its great value. I, Margie Burris will my walking newspaper to Novaline Trull. I, Margaret Campbell, will my blanket to Ruby Clodfelter in hopes that it keeps her as warm as it kept me. To Nova Beatty, I, Edith Jones, will my love for BOWLING. To anyone who would like them, I, Ruby Criscoe, will my large sweater collection. I, Martha Sue Parton, will all my split uniforms to Mrs. Roach in hopes she can get some good wear out of them. To anyone who can blow them, I, Hazel Phillips, will my bubbles. I, Marian Mosley, will my nylon charm to Peggy Cole knowing that she will be as tactful as I in the use of it. I, Cary Dowd, will to Emily Russell, my ability to keep the men guessing. To Betty Query I, Betty Ruth Morrison, will my power of dating all day and half of the night with- out parking. I, Dot Wilkins, have little of nothing to will but my energy, and to Shirley Craven I will that. To all the nurses, I, Joyce Hepler, will my love for a certain doctor. I, Betty Mason, will to any manless student my ability to find that certain man. My Virginian brogue, I, Betty Williams, will to Nancy Carriker in hopes that it will add to her personality. I, Marie Clymer, will my ability to stay in training three years engaged, to Margaret Thomas. I, Violet Minton, share part of my glory wearing a Sigma Phi fraternity pin with Emily Russell wishing her the best of luck of also finding one in Raleigh. I, Becky Leatherman, a mischievious girl, leave my outstanding behavior to Ruby Abernathy and also my love for sweet taters. To Caroline Riley, I, Florine Johnson, leave my anility to date privates and officers in the army hoping someday she might date a general -- something I happened to miss. I, Marie Stepp, who happens to get in the latest gossip leaves to Betty Anderson the know how trusting she will hear all and know nothing. 30 Minnie Lou Bryson CLASS POEM ALONG LIFE’S WAY We start out on our journey With our mind all clear and new We think of all the toiling, And studying we'll have to do. We think of all the heartaches and Sorrows we'll have to bear; And also of the pleasure and Friendships that we will share. We're thinking of the time to come Of our work -- and then we sigh; But we must hurry and not delay, For the years are slipping by. As we look back, through all the years And tasks we have begun; We think of all the work we did, But didn't we have fun? We come now to the crossroads Where each must go his way; We say Good-bye, and silently hope We'll meet again some day. THIS DRIVE FOR AMBULANCES ONLY Then we think of all the sorrows ai The one's that have come and past; But now we bid our school adieu, For we've reached our goal at last Rebecca Leatherman Editor-in-Chief Marie Stepp Business Manager STAFF Seated, left to right - Marie Stepp, Business Manager; Jane Abernethy, Asst.
