Cabarrus Memorial Hospital School of Nursing - Cap and Pin Yearbook (Concord, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 108 of the 1958 volume:

'''•'' si REWORD v The Blue and White we lay aside, To venture out our separate ways And donning uniform of white To serve mankind through weary days. Our student days now draw to a close, Our shared joys and sorrows remain in the past. So we give to you in sweet repose, Our special memories from first to last. We, the Annual Staff of the 1958 Cap And Pin, would like to share with you our memories of the three years spent at Cabarrus Memorial Hospital. We sincerely hope that through the years, this book will recall the many events which we have shared together. 2 ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE THEY HAVE THEIR EXITS AND THEIR ENTRANCES AND ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN MERELY PLAYERS AND ONE MAN IN HIS TIME PLAYS MANY PARTS DEDICATION To one who has won our respect and gratitude for her tireless efforts in behalf of our class, her guidance, leadership, a n d sincere interest in us, We, the Senior Class of 1958, with deepest appreciation, dedicate the Cap and Pin to you, MISS RUTH BATES.

Help me to make more tempting every tray. Help me to sense when pain must have relief. Help me to deal with those borne down by grief. Help me to take to every patient's room The Light of Life to brighten up the gloom. Help me to bring to every soul in fear The sure and steadfast thought that Thou art near. And if today, or if tonight, maybe, Some patients in my care set out to sea To face the great adventure we call death, Sustain them Father, in their parting breath. Help me to live throughout this livelong day As one who loves Thee well, dear Lord, I pray; And when the day is done, and evening stars Shine through the dark above the sunset bars, When weary quite, I turn to seek my rest, Lord, may I truly know I've done my best. - RUTH WIN ANT WHEELER 9 ADMINISTRATOR MISS LOUISE HARKEY CHIEF OF STAFF DR ROBERT McWHORTER V C.

A symbol of hope, cheer, and comfort To those who are suffering and ill, To me it gives strength unbelieving My work to perform with a will. Sometimes I am discouraged, disheartened, My Tasks seem so hopeless to me, My cap seems to speak of a promis e- - Of things I so want to be. No jewels adorn it's wide brim, So simple and plain is it's line-- Treat it with reverence and honor For there's only one cap of it's kind. --Sally Hewitt, R.

GOD MADE A NURSE To be a nurse is to walk with God, Along the path that our Master trod; To sooth the achings of human pain; To faithfully serve for little gain; To lovingly do the kindly deed-- A cup of water to one in need, A tender hand on a fevered brow, A word of cheer to these living now; To reach the soul through its body woe. Ah! This is the way Jesus would go. Oh, white capped nurses in dresses of white, Our Great Physician is working through you. God made a nurse ! He made her heart true, brave and kind, And like the mountain streams her mind Is Crystal clear, yet swift and deep As where its waters rush and sweep. He made her hands strong, tender, skilled; Their touch with His own pity filled, And gave to make his nurse complete A sense of humor, wholesome, sweet. God made a nurse.

The years we’ve spent together, At our work or play. Just a jolly band, carefree and gay. Our colors white and lovely blue, We have worn with pride. But now the time has come, To lay them aside. It’s time to take our scroll in hand and Journey on to other lands. Our work has proven just what we do. Our dispositions, we claim them too. We hope we'll leave you examples true. Do unto others as you'd have them do. So now, We'll bid our last adieu, To our teachers and the school. No matter where we go, what you have taught us will always be, To us sweet memories.

WRIGHT, TESTATOR 63 Miss Ruth Bates Miss Ruby Abernethy PROPHECY f- As the curtain falls on another three years of our lives, we stop for a moment and gaze into the past, recalling the many thing s which we have done together. Our three years spent at Cabarrus Memorial Hospital have been full of studying, working, dating, and parties. Now, we gaze into the future to see the results of years in school to attain our goal--R. N. BULLETIN: WASHINGTON DORIS BARRIER, one time supervisor at St. Elizabeth's Mental Hospital has been transferred to State Hospital, Raliegh, North Carolina, (Wonder if Perry is still at State? ) Heard that JANICE BRINKLEY had put aside nursing for awhile to model fashions at Macy's in New York City. (Janice always wore cute clothes) Got a wire from another classmate of mine, DORIS COLEY, (her maiden name), Bill is still in the Air Force and planning to make it a career. Doris is going to do Flight Nursing, so she can be near him. I happened to see a Wilkesboro paper the other day, and stopped to read a little in it. There on the second page, I saw LINDA ROBINSON, R.N. was recently promoted to night supervisor at Wilkes General Hospital, North Wilkesboro, N. C. (Bet Connie is proud of Linda!) My thoughts trailed back to the many nights, after hours, while we were in school, that a whole bunch of us sat in PETE FREE- MAN'S room talking, laughing and telling jokes. Those were the good 'ole days. Now Pete (Mrs. Rex Baucom), has joined a rank of the service so she can stay close to Rex. Saw ANNE FUNDERBURKE the other day, shopping in the Colonial Store. She and Gary now .have two children, Gary Jr. and Elizabeth Ann. She's got her hands full, playing the role of wife and mother. Duke University Medical School enrolled one of our classmates recently. JEANETTE GOEBEL. Should make a fine doctor! I met Mrs. Gene Lanier (BARBARA HARE) one day last week, shopping in Belk's. Yep, you guessed it; shopping for little pink and blue things. She still looked as good as she did the day of her Christmas wedding. Heard the other day that CAROLYN HATLEY has accepted the position of head nurse on Pediatrics at Georgia Baptist Hospital in Atlanta. Carolyn always did like children! Bulletin from Alaska! Nurses arrive from United States. Head of the troop, SHIRLEY HAYES, R. N., She's traveling just as she planned. Cary, North Carolina can well be proud of their little home town girl, EVELYN HOPKINS CLAYTON. She and Ray are in Charlotte now. Evelyn is head nurse on Pediatrics at Charlotte Memorial Hospital. SUSIE JOHNSON, and her husband, Doug, came into town one day not too long ago. Doug is still stationed at the Naval Base somewhere in Washington State. Susie is assistant administrator at one of the larger hospitals up there. Saw in the Kannapolis Independent where MISS BARBARA JONES, R.N., was leaving to establish residence in Raliegh, N. C. She's going to accept a position on the staff at Rex Hospital in Raliegh. Guess she'll be seeing Carl every now and then. On the operating room team at our old Alma Mater, we find GERRY JORDAN, assisting Dr. Thompson with one of his famous hip pinnings . NORFOLK, VIRGINIA--DECEMBER 8, 1962--MRS. BARBARA KOONTZ, R. N. has recently accepted a position with the Naval Base Hospital. Guess she'll be near her husband, Kearney. Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital in Greensboro, North Carolina recently acquired a new day s u p e r v i s o r , MRS. NANCY LEGGETT. Nancy should do well in this position. PATTI MEGGS is seeing the world via one of the world's largest Air Lines. She's a nurse with wings now. I was shopping in Talheimers over in Winston-Salem recently and ran into GAIL MITCH- ELL. She told me that she is still working with the Public Health Depart- ment. Charles, her husband, is a big executive in Winston. Them thar' hills called BROWNELL OLLIS back to Cranberry, North Carolina. She's a visiting nurse now in the mountains. I shall never forget ANN OWINGS and that school teacher b o y f r i e n d of hers. Guess Ann and Bill are raising their football team in Concord. Heard from my old roommate the other day, EOLINE PROVOST CLAYTON. She has a position on the hospital staff in Greenville, South Carolina, where she and Robert are making their home. I, CONNIE RHODES, am working night duty in the Labor Room at Wesley Long H o s p i t a 1 in Greensboro. Writing is my hobby, and something that I do while I'm not busy. Heard that KAY ALLMAN RITCHIE was working in Charlotte and that she and Bud were raising two fine boys. SARAH SHUE called me not long ago to tell me that she was leaving for Nome, Alaska, to accept a position at the hospital there. Wonder if she'll see Wesley? CAROLYN STORY is working at Rowan Memorial in Salisbury. Guess she and Paul will be starting their family soon. MARGIE TEEMS was recently promoted to Administrator of the hospital in Hickory, North Carolina. Good Luck, Margie. GLADYS TROUTMAN is still working on our favorite floor, 2-E, at Cabarrus Memorial Hospital. Recently I received a telegram from GLENNA TURNER. She and Bob are on a cruise to Hawaii. They plan to stay in Hilo, Hawaii, where Glenna has accepted a position on the hospital staff. Saw in the Concord Tribune where Miss BETTY LOMAX, R. N., is flying home from California, for Christmas. She's working in a large hospital in Los Angeles. MARTHA WARLICK stopped by to see me on her way to Texas the other day. She's going to work at the Air Force base in Waco, Texas. ESTHER WRIGHT, whom we remember so well because of all her jokes, is Head Nurse in the General Nursery at Stanley County Hospital in Albemarle. Oh, if one had time these days, with everything going at high speed, especially in our profession, she could really ponder on the things that happened to all of us during our course of study. The good and bad which was taken in stride. The ups and downs which made us happy and sad. All of this, we experienced to accomplish the things that we wanted so much in life. 6 5 CONNIE RHODES CLASS PROPHET THANKS TO OUR PARENTS At last we are seniors . . . and each year was better than the last! We've had our share of the fun, the quizzes and tests, parties, classes, and night duty. We have had help all along the way from our instructors, graduates, and doctors, but most of all, from you. You are responsible for our graduation; you instilled in us from early childhood the desire to learn and to achieve. In this small way, we are trying to express our deepest appreciation for the interest, cooperation, and love that has been such a vital part of our nurses' training.

CO-EDITORS: Doris Coley Ann Owing s This is the end result of our efforts. We trust that this will serve as a book of memories through the years and that it will be a credit to the Class of 1958. CLASS HISTORY As the curtain rises, ACT I of our life as a studentnurse begins and we hear the background melody, Stranded in the East Nurse'fl Home . Our captors, Mrs. Roach and Mrs. Davenport, are eagerly awaiting our arrival. It is now September 5, 1955, our registration day, which changes our whole pattern of life. We really begin our Freshman year with a bang! A pajama party given in our honor started us well on our way in this new and strange environment. How well we remember those first 7 a.m. Professional Adjustments classes when we were all allowed the privilege of expressing our own personal opinion . But then there was that particular Professional Adjustments class when one student gallantly stood and asked that we be allowed to rest until 9 a.m. before going on duty, only to be contradicted by a no the r student who nobly stated We cannot change the world for the sake of a few . Then our class officers were elected along with our class sponsors and they were as follows: President: Patti Meggs, Vice-President: Shirley Hayes, Treasurer: Brownell Ollis, S e c r e t a r y : Barbara Jones. Sponsors : Mrs. Martha Hayes and Mrs. Pauline C. Ashley. There were our Glee Club escapades when we displayed our various talents for the public. Oh, how we remem- ber those glorious trips to the Y in Kannapolis where we participated in exotic activities so freely offered by our superiors. Mercy, how we hated the drudgery of settling down to the dormitory rules and particularly those nights in closed study when it was neces sary to seek some diver sion in Comic Books and True Romance magazines. You know, I always liked to lie on the bed to study but things changed when I came here. It was found that more study and less sleep is accomplished in a h a r d wooden chair, feet flat on floor, elbows flat on desk, head stuck in book. Ugh! Well, during the latter part of that year, our taskmasters Mrs. Clontz, Miss Parker, and Mrs. Graham, began to teach us professional procedures One, Two, Three, right down the line, in Apple Pie Order . Our res- ponsibility increased with giving medicines and the more difficult pro- cedures. On May 25, 1956, a day we shall n e v e r forget, we were pre- sented our Cap, a symbol of maturity and advancement. Having fun was our pastime and this special occasion called for areal celebration which turned out to be a week-end beach trip. My, didn't we have a ball? Spring turned to summer and with it came the morning sun baths on the sun porch, the walks over the golf course, picnics in the woods and the other summer activities. And then there was the sadness of saying good- byes to out- classmates who left school for one reason or another. The curtain rises on ACT II, our Junior year which officially began on September 6, 1956 . On this date we c 1 imb e d one step higher by re- ceiving our Blue Band. Now our special services, Surgery,Obstetrics, Pediatrics, and Diet Kitchen began. Who can forget thos e memorable days we stood many tireless hours, scrubbed for Major Surgery? We can't forget those nights of Night Duty in Obstetrics when all that kept 70 us going was black coffee. Then because each class must have a gover- ning body, we diplomatically decided to elect class officers. They were as follows: President: Betty Lomax, Vice President: Brownell Ollis, Secretary: Eoline Clayton, Treasurer: Evelyn Hopkins. Sponsor: Miss Ruth Bates. Co-sponsors: Mrs. Bobbie Everhart and Mrs. Margy Fink. February soon came, and with it, the Valentine Dance which was quite successful. The usual routine was interrupted by the planning for the Junior-Senior and Religious Emphasis Week. Oh brother, did we work! There was so much to be done. That Junior Senior was fabulous, with those balloons we inflated. Mardi Gras was our theme and the audi- torium truly looked like New Orleans, Dixie Land Band and all. Then the first group was Dix Hill b o un d , with all their fears a nd anxieties which were soon to be relieved. The school year was climaxed with picnics at Buffalo Ranch and the end of classes. The anticipation of becoming a Senior hung heavily in the atmosphere. The curtain rises on ACT III, the final act. It is now September 6, 1957. This is the day when we begin our third step up the ladder. Yes, we received o u r Black Band, which we felt was s o m e th i n g very dis- tinguished. We knew that now we were on the last mile of o u r three year journey. We were officially the Senior Class of 1958. With a bit of dignity which was not our usual natur e, we stepped forward to receive the final portion of our Cap. The Senior Class Officers were elected as follows: President: Brownell Ollis, Vice-President: Barbara Jones, Secretary: Doris Barrier, Treasurer: Margie Teems. Our sponsors were Miss Ruth Bates and Miss Ruby Abernethy. There were the class meetings, the election of the Annual Staff and the many hours spent working on the Annual. The last g roup s were going to The Hill with the anticipation of returning and soon graduating. There were those many romances and marriages. There was the song I Found My Thrill On Good 101el Dix Hill , which became popular during this time. All of a sudden the class was together for the first time in nearly a year. Yes, the last group returned from the Hill and began the routine of Night Duty which I'm sure, relieved those who had been on it for so long. The Junior- Senior and Graduation came more into view and plans were being made for both. Yes, the curtain would soon gracefully fall on one of the most fabulous three-act plays ever to be given on the Cabarrus Stage. Many questions were in our minds; What will the future bring ? What is Life really like ? How will it feel to be a Graduate Nurse ? Whatever the answer might be, we know that all of our fun, laughter, study, and tears plus the guidance of our parents and the faculty have molded us exactly as we are today.
