She counts time by heart-throbs. She most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best. To one who has helped us with patience and understanding through our three years at Cabarrus Me- morial Hospital School of Nursing, giving us instruction with intelli- gence, criticism with comfort, and encouragement with enlightenment, we, the Class of 1962, dedicate this yearbook.

Chief of Staff rz z zvsi tTOne of the Godlike things in this world is the veneration done to human worth by the hearts of men.” Our Hall of Fame would be incomplete without a tribute to this man whose interest in his com- munity made possible the hospital of which our school is apart. He encouraged the passing of legislation in 1935 which provided for a bond election in Cabarrus County to finance a fifty- bed hospital. The charter of the hospital gave the governing board the right to establish a school of nursing, and on February 2, 1942, the Cabarrus County Hospital School of Nursing opened its doors to its first students. This was a direct result of Mr. Cannon’s unceasing service to his fellow men. Under the direction of the Board of Trustees, of which Mr. Cannon has been chairman since the hospital came into existence, a separate building was erected in 1947 to house the school of nursing. In 1952, to correspond with the governing institution, the name of the school became officially’’Cabarrus Memorial Hospital School of Nursing.” Led by Mr. Cannon’s inspiration, the Board authorized the construction of a new wing and third floor addition in 1954. Equip- ment, facilities, and opportunities for faculty members to improve their abilities have been provided through the years to allow the school to keep abreast of current trends in nursing education. That the entire Board has a keen interest in the school is evident in these acts and in the support which the faculty and students have received in their efforts to upgrade the school in all respects. Since the first efforts toward accreditation began, Mr. Cannon has made evident his desire to have the School of Nursing, and the other hospital schools, be ’’second to none.” During the past school year, Mr. Cannon has been praised by many. . .as the North Carolina Man of the Year, in newspaper editorials, as the retiring president of Cannon Mills, and by the Cabarrus Memorial Hospital Alumnae Association. The students of the hospital schools add to these praises their gratitude to one whose foresight has led them to today and whose deeds have benefitted so many.

As they grow older, other things occupy their minds, such as dancing school, Girl Scouts, high school experiences, trips, and dances. In September of 1959, twenty-nine eager girls entered Cabarrus Me- morial Hospital School of Nursing. We were ready for the glamor of student nurse life, and our dreams were be- coming a reality. Our first weeks were spent in an introduction to our new way of life. Many parties were held for us during this time, including a water- melon feast given by the Concord Busi- ness and Professional Women’s Club, the Christian Student Union hamburger supper at Cook’s Buffalo Ranch, and a swimming party at the Cabarrus Coun- try Club. We chose our leaders for the year: president, Sally Caudill; vice-presi- dent, Brenda Mickey; secretary, Gail Johnson; treasurer, Jane Carriker; and chaplain, Lyn Somers. Later, Brenda Mickey became our president, guiding us through a spaghetti supper and a tea for our parents in the Spring. We were thrilled over prospects of doing real nursing, and in October, we finally took our first step. We each gave a bath! Soon, however, we began doing other things for patients. . . making beds, giving medicines, and talking with them to understand more about our patients. After our Christmas Dance, we welcomed two weeks’ vacation, but found ourselves eagerly waiting for the New Year and a return to our class- mates. Due to our varied talents, our Glee Club found numerous opportuni- ties to entertain in this community, especially during the pre-Christmas season. Brenda Mickey and Gail Johnson representedus at the S.N.A.N.C. con- vention. Linda Boyd represented us at the N.S.N.A. convention in Florida. Wanda Saunders entered the ’’Miss • Kannapolis” Beauty Pageant and Cornelia Beck was first runner-up in HISTORY the ’’Miss Concord” Beauty Pageant. During June and July, we left for two weeks' vacation. Upon returning, we began specialized nursing ex- periences. Twenty strong, wearing blue bands on our caps, we entered our second year. We welcomed our Little Sisters” with a party and helped them become acquainted with our school. Lyn Somers and Joyce Frick rep- resented us at the S.N.A.N.C. con- vention in 1960. Our class officers for our Junior year were chosen: president, Joyce Frick; vice-presi- dent, Lyn Somers; secretary, Brenda Mickey; treasurer, Gail Johnson; chaplain, Judy Smith. We worked hard on our Halloween Carnival and Dance and our efforts were well rewarded. Some of our classmates held other positions in student activities. Serving in various capacities were Jane Car- riker, president of C.S.U.; Linda Boyd, first vice-president of the Student Government Association; Gail John- son, treasurer of the S.G.A.; and Lyn Somers, member of the S.G.A, nomi- nating committee. Late in the Fall, our class was in- creased by a transfer from Charlotte Memorial Hospital. . .Beth Romary. . . and one from the University of North Carolina School of Nursing. . .Bonnie Howell. With the Christmas Spirit in the air, we turned from crisp uniforms to floating dresses to enjoy our annual dinner and dance. Lyn Somers led our class as president, Beth Romary was elected vice-president, and Bonnie Howell was elected treasurer. We will always remember our pinto bean suppers, especially our mid- way” supper. We were half finished, literally! We entered into activities such as Y.M.C.A. trips, participating on the basketball team, C.S.U. re- treats, and group entertainment. During part of this year, Betty Furr was our president of the Student Gov- ernment Association, Bonnie Howell was secretary, Beth Romary was chairman of the nominating committee, and Shirley Diffee was second vice- president. Betty and Shirley repre- sentedus at the N.S.N.A. convention in Cleveland, Ohio. The highlight of our year was our Junior-Senior banquet and dance, which served to instill memories never-to-be forgotten. This was our diversion from long- months of study and hard work! Upon returning from summer va- cation, we met our new classmate, Carolyn Reid, who transferred from Vanderbilt University. In September 1961, fourteen worn-out juniors be- came bright-eyed seniors. In the Fall, Sue Herrin returned to our class. Im- mediately following this, the first of three groups left for Eastern State Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky, to be the first of Cabarrus students to have psychiatric experience under the new affiliation arrangement. Our senior year has been a busy one, but our of- ficers have led us with confidence and know-how. The president was Bonnie Howell; vice-president, Linda Stiller; secretary-treasurer, Jane Carriker; and chaplain, Carolyn Reid. Brenda Mickey and Linda Stiller were our representatives to the S.N.A.N.C. With other groups going to Ken- tucky, memories were tied together and we find that mere words cannot express our feeling for these experi- ences. We each returned ready to serve mankind and found ourselves helping with the Halloween Carnival and Dance, enjoying the Christmas Dance, and serving at the spaghetti supper. In the Spring, Shirley Diffee received the Project Achievement Award at the annual district meeting of the S.N.A.N.C. We are now looking- forward to the Junior-Senior Prom which will be given in our honor this summer. Graduation takes but a few short minutes, but we shall not think of cur- fews, study hall, cramming for exams, and writing term papers. Instead, we will look to the future. We have been prepared for our profession by our fine faculty. Many have helped us turn the title student nurse” into graduate nurse.” It is their trust and belief in us that makes this commencement a true beginning. Beth Romary Judy Smith Hammond P.S.

MASCOTS Michael Clayton Jones Edythe Ann Monroe m wmm JUNIORS THE NURSE The world grows better, year by year, Because some nurse in her little sphere Puts on her apron and grins and sings, And keeps on doing the same old things Taking the temperature, giving the pills To remedy mankind’s numberless ills, Feeding the baby, answering the bells, Being polite with a heart that rebels. Longing for home, and all the while Blessing the newborn babies’ first breath, Closing the eyes that are still in death. Taking the blame for so many mistakes, Oh dear! what a lot of patience it takes: Going off duty at seven o’clock, Tired, discouraged, and ready to drop, But called back on duty at seven-fifteen With woe in her heart, but it must not be seen, Morning and evening, noon and night, Just doing it over and hoping its right When we lay down our caps and cross the bar, Oh Lord, will you give us just one little star To wear in our crowns with our uniforms new In that city above, where the head nurse is You?
