FIDE ET FIDUCIA (By Faith and Courage) DEDICATION R. R. Hughes, M.D. INCE the days of Hippocrates the practice of Medicine has been built upon the ideals of service and sacrifice. To these have been added an ever increasing mountain of knowledege and skills. It is the doctor’s duty to focus these on one individual and with due regard for the complexity of the patient’s being, to assist him back to physical and mental health. Fully aware of these problems and responsibilities, Dr. Hughes has helped to establish the position of the family physician in this community. Never forgetting to treat t he patient as well as the disease and always willing to aid with their personal problems and conflicts, he has written his name deeply in the fleshy tablets of many hearts. During his 37 years of practice in Calgary Dr. Hughes has won the respect of those who know him. As the true family doctor he is always willing to meet the challenge of this position with untiring energy and patience. He gave generously of his time to instruct the nurses in this hospital. His attitude of respect and understanding always wins their loyalty. His work on the staff of the hospital, the Cancer Clinic, and the Calgary Medical Society Executive demonstrates his public spirited service and the confidence of his associates. It is with pleasure that we dedicate this volume to Dr. Hughes, a physician ancj friend.

In this edition of our Year Book we wish to take you, our friends and relations, on a tour throughout the hospital and residence and try to give to you a picture of our duties and pleasures during our three years of training. To begin with, we will take you on a short trip through the Nurses’ Home. Our lobby is for the convenience of our friends whom, after asking the Home Matron if they may see Miss-, sit here and wait. Finally after what seems to be hours of wondering if there is any connection between this outer room and the inside, we come along and cheerfully inform them that we were late getting off duty or the lecturer went overtime. To continue, the large sections you see lining the walls are made especially for our mail and our class books. The corridor leading to the right goes to our demonstration room and lecture hall. The walls of the lecture room are decorated with nick-nacks to resemble the normal human ' s innards and the pictures show the disease apart from the normal. One day I told a fellow we had a skeleton in the closet and he laughed heartily. I wonder if he would laugh if he got the chance to open the closet door? You see “Oscar” is getting old now and squeeks considerably when his bones aren’t rattling. Everything from cleaning to the various treatments is learned here before actually practiced on wards. Across the hall are the instructress’ offices. The student nurses reside in three different blocks: A, B, and D. Here we store our trunks under our beds, cram our closets full and decorate our rooms to look like a welcome place to relax and talk over everything in general with our best friends. Our life : changes when we come in training; we get up at 6:00 a.m. instead of 8:00; we eat in the cafeteria instead of a breakfast nook, and we make friends of people we have never contacted before in our community life. These people become closer and dearer to us than we realize, and when we move over to “D” block to spend our last year in single rooms, we find ourselves habitually congregating in one room or another. Just like sisters we argue over the Juniors’ initiation, plan the Christmas dance, what will we wear, how we will do our hair, look forward to the end of classes and graduation, and spend many a night at home studying and having a night with the girls. And then when we are finished we stand at the door and look back to three years never to be repeated or forgotten for— They say life is a highway and its milestones are the years. And now and then there’s a toll gate where you pay your way with tears. It ' s a rough road and a steep road and it stretches broad and far. But it leads at last to a Golden Town where Golden Houses are. You may never be rich. In silver and gold, But you may have friends Unnumbered, untold. Just show yourself friendly, In ways manifold, Your smile and your handclasp. Will be better than gold. The optimist fell ten stories. At each window bar He shouted to his friends: “All right so far!” go through life, of us learns that get dizzy doing good turns. When you point youi finger accusingly at some¬ one else, remember yor have three fingers point- ig appropriate, JUNIORS 1949 My life shall touch a dozen lives Before this ye :ar is done, Make countless marks for good or ill, Ere sets the evening sun. So this the thou ght I always think, The prayer I always pray: “Lord, may my life bless other lives It touches by the way.” —Gillilan.

Just because your trials are many, Don’t think others haven’t any. Life’s made up of smiles and tears, Joys and sorrows, mixed with fears; And though to us it seems one-sided Trouble is pretty well divided. If we could look in every heart, We ' d find that each one has its part And those who travel fortune’s road Sometimes carry the biggest load. 1 1 m Y ' -fi a | -I ■ ' IS?

But lo—behold—my eyes are wide It’s my neighbor on the other side. What ho! Oh no, but that one’s gone, I knew ' twas me all along, Repeat la question Sil vous plait. I’ll answer up without delay. What makes us tick—the middle part? And what is the fate of a school girl ' s heart? Ah me—I yawn and sigh And then I take another try. The hovering cloud has passed along. It wasn’t as bad as I let on, We may pretend its all in vain, That you talk on the same refrain, Yet each and every one of us In spite of grumbles and a lot of fuss, Are grateful for this and every course To the doctors—or other source That brings to us from day to day Knowledge to store, and ponder and weigh. Thank you, kind sir, for your lectures divine, I surely do hope that I pass mine. —R. Tindal. Twenty GRADUATING CLASS 1949 There are loyal hearts, there are spirits brave, There are souls that are pure and true, Then give to the world the best you have, And the best will come back to you. Give love, and love to your life will flow, A strength in your utmost need, Have faith, and a score of hearts will show Their faith in your word and deed. Give truth, and your gift will be paid in kind And honor will honor meet; And a smile that is sweet will surely find A smile that is just as sweet. For life is the mirror of king and slave, ’Tis just what we are and do; Then give to the world the best you have, And the best will come back to you. —Madeline Bridges.

Twenty-eight VALEDICTORY FOR YEAR BOOK pTOR three years we have looked forward to this time of Graduation. When we commenced our training as preliminary students, three years seemed a lifetime to us; but now, as we look back, we recall happy memories which in reality have made this time pass all too quickly. Our first days on wards were mixed with feelings of confusion and use¬ lessness and we wondered where the knowledge that we thought we had gained, during our preliminary studies, had gone. Our first hypos, first bed bathes, carrying dinner trays and even fixing flowers, were major operations to us. At the beginning of our second year, the hospital routine was becoming more familiar to us and our work more interesting. We found ourselves scrubbing for tonsils in the OR.. brechting premies on Mat., and cleaning the stove after the chocolate syrup had boiled over in the Diet Kitchen. With our senior year we learned the responsibilities of giving medicines, checking order books and having “charge” of a floor on nights. Now, too, with the completion of our courses, we have learned the true meaning of study. Now with all this talk of work and study let us not forget the moments of recreation and relaxation which we so enjoyed, our hayride, our banquet, and our Christmas dance are but a few of the highlights which brought us closer in body and in spirit. So now, with mingled feelings of pride and self-assurance, knowing that we have been given a training of high standing, we are ready to leave our “School to take our places in the various fields of nursing. My classmates join me in thanking the Teaching Staff and the Super¬ visors for their patience and understanding which have made our stay here more enjoyable. -Vivian Simons.

Thirty-four HOSPITAL will enter the hospital through the ambulance entrance. This entrance is perhaps better known to the staff than the visitors because through this door pass the nurses going on and off duty and all discharged patients. Here our tour starts on First East. This floor is entirely Medical patients. Now Medical (according to the dictionary) is an adjective which means—pertaining to or connected with medicine. We see that medicine is the science which relates to the treatment and alleviation of disease. We have doctors now who were formerly termed as medicine men. According to said same dictionary, medicine men are found among certain tribes, such as the North American Indians and are conjurers who profess to drive away evil spirits or disease by magical arts. If you worked on First East you would know that medical patients are not treated these days by magical art. Here the doctors test the patients for everything from reflexes to heart palpitations. Then they take all their find¬ ings and carefully make a diagnosis. The patient is now treated with every¬ thing from medicines to hot and cold applications. Several men work day and night in laboratories to discover the exact effect of all these treatments. And so the job of the doctor becomes a tremendous task. Here in First East we learn what this task is and how to appreciate it. TRIBUTE A building fair, set on a hill That overlooks a river’s flow. Haven of rest for all the ill Of the busy city—far below. There ceaselessly, the nurses toil To make man’s life a happier span. Sometimes with praise, but oft reproach Though putting forth the best they can. Can man not search his heart, and find The beauty of their selfless task? —And having found, ne’er more be blind To questions that he need not ask. In words of gold, for all to see, Despising not the sufferer’s call. Devotion—Faith—Fidelity, The Nurse exemplifies them all! The Pharmacy The Pharmacy is our second stop. Here, under the careful supervision of Miss McCaffere, our druggists fill bottles, all sizes and shapes, with aro¬ matic solutions, and boxes with pills, some of which are too big to swallow and some too small, getting lost in that hollow in our teeth. Whether it’s a pill or a solution or an injection, it must come from here. May we take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks for your help and patience during our three years of training. The Laboratory The Laboratory is next on our list. If we step inside we will see tubes, basins and specimens of all kinds. Here is where they bring the blood for counts, cultures, etc. When we are looking for Dr. Mc- Latchie we can usually find her here in her office. To you, Dr. McLatchie, and to your staff of Technicians, we would like to say Thanks for Everything”. Ward Nine Aside from the emergencies rushed to this ward and the daily stream of patients, going to and from the Operating Room or re¬ gaining consciousness from the various Anaesthetics we think this poem written by a patient, expresses our life on Ward Nine. It’s just one round of bed pans, The whole long day it seems, You wash your face a million times. Till it is bright and clean. And when they bring your breakfast, And forgotten half the things. ' Tis the nurse, who hears you holler, And knows just what to bring. Their faces wreathed in smiles, As they listen to your groans, And 1 bet that all the while. They would really like to moan. And yet their hands are softest, When you are sick, indeed, They say sweet words of kindness, And fill your every need. They stick your skin with needles, And stuff you full of pills, Until you stop and wonder Why you didn’t write your will. Your doctor ' s here”, your nurse does say, And in he walks so quietly, Stick out your tongue,’’ he says to me, You’ll have to say for another day. If kill or cure their motto, It works just fine, you see It ' s not our feelings they’re hurting, And they wouldn’t like it to be. We holler if they’re early, Also if they’re late. It seems like in the hospital It’s just a matter of fate. X-Ray Our X-Ray Department specializes in diagnostic films. Here they photograph the head or the feet or any¬ thing in between. Of course they don’t X-Ray the patients from head to toe. but they skillfully bring out the bones or organs requested by the doctor. By these films the Physicians and Surgeons are enabled to treat specifically any disease, disorder or fracture. May this page in our year book express to Dr. Symington and the X-Ray Staff, our sincere appreciation for the guidance and knowledge we have obtained from working with them. I ' ve shut the door on yesterday, Its sorrows and mistakes; I ' ve locked within its gloomy walls Past failures and heartaches. And now I throw the key away To seek another room, And furnish it with hope and smiles. And every springtime bloom. No thought shall enter this abode That has a hint of pain. And worry, malice and distrust Shall never therein reign. I ' ll shut the door on Yesterday And throw the key away— Tomorrow holds no doubts for me Since I have found Today. Children ' s Ward “Visiting hours 2 p.m. to 3.30 p.m. Just one visitor to a patient please. Would you please wait in the Waiting Room?’’ That’s right—this is Child¬ ren ' s Ward. Down the corridor echoes that familiar question. “Nurse, when will my Mummy come?” “I want to go home. But soon the kiddies realize that a hospital isn’t the horrid place they ' ve heard about, and that nurses are capable of love and affection as well as giving medicinal injections. Gown, mask, basins with dettol and water, paper towels—let us move on—that was Isolation. The curtains are drawn aside, so through the window let us take a peek at the tiny tots in the nursery, sleeping, playing, laughing, and crying, as the gowned nurse goes back and forth feeding, changing, and loving them. Oh—Oh! What’s that? Even the little ones recognize her with her peni¬ cillin syringe, but it must be done. Here’s the form kitchen, where all the babies’ formula e are cooked and poured, and where at night the fudge is cooked. No? Steam kettles, oxygen tents, semi-fowler beds. This must be the pneu¬ monia room. By patient care, by love and kindness, by exact feedings, by medicines and treatments, the little one are cared for. We may not understand nor see Into the depth and mystery Of pain bearing and tear, Yet through the suffering of kiddies dear In us the flowers of sympathy Spring up and scatter everywhere. Father ' s Footstep: father and his tiny son Crossed a rough street one stormy da see, papa ”, cried the little one I stepped in your steps all the way . h, random childish hands that deal Quick thrusts no coat of steel could st touched him with the touch of steel: I stepped in your steps all the way . this man shirks his manhood due, And heeds what lying voices say, is not one who falls, but two, I stepped in your steps all the way . Maternity The second floor of the PERLEY PAVILION is entirely Maternity cases. As we look around we are impressed by the long shining corridors. This ward is divided into three sections: The Ward, The Nursery, The Case Rooms. Let us now observe the Ward. According to Mrs. Smith—“The day begins at 6:00 a.m. sharp (maybe a little earlier) with a face wash—at seven, temperature, pulse and respiration—7.30, breakfast—8.00 a.m., baths, etc. About 9.15 we hear the rumble of the carriers. Oh, there comes Junior, isn’t he a dear: you know, nurse, I think he is growing. What, time for him to go back to the nursery so soon? The remainder if the morning is spent writing letters, reading books, or finishing the white booties with blue ribbons provided you are fortunate enough not to have the nurse come arcund and help you exercise, or sit in a chair. By now it is lunch time and we certainly are hungry. This routine is repeated approximately three times each day, and our friends break the monotony by visiting us between the hours cf 2.00-3.00 p.m. and 7.30-8.30 p.m. each day. The nurses bustle about, scattering cheeriness as they go, and making our stay in hospital as pleasant as possible.” r ap mmm umwEmBrST Lf 1?

' Maternity Nursery After donning cap, mask and gown and a five minute scrub up at the nursery sink, we fill our day with weighing, changing, bathing, changing, feeding and changing babies. And that doesn’t sound bad, but when Junior Jones loses half an ounce and Sunny Tufts won’t take her ba-ba and Mr. Baby Brown is a problem— you really feel you’ve accomplished things no end when these little difficulties are settled. Then you have the honor of caring for the premature babies. Nursie beware, as two lbs. Butch or three and a half lb. Betty Lou are M : ss J’s pride and joy and please, Dear Lord, make them gain. The nursery nights are one of the never-to-be-forgotten, you know the kind. How, after a night’s work when you think Ah! Soon I can rest”, the case room presents you with 4, 5 or 6 little bundles of joy. Why baby! You really are nice, now that I see you when your face is clean, says I to myself at 7 a.m. Thus from day to night it goes. Every day you lose your heart to some six or seven mothers who take your babies, their pride and joy out into the wide, wide world—their homes. Often heard, sung by the Nurse or Premies, To tune of The Best to You”. Your brecht to you May my dreams come true Gain an ounce or two When the day is through And through the night Keep your weight all right In the early morn Please take all your form And then one day When your weight ' s O.K.

Second West We think this medical floor is best described by this poem, sent to us by a former patient . . . A TRIBUTE (To My Nurses in the Calgary General Hospital) My Doctor came to visit me And pulled a solemn face! Said he: “For you the Hospital Is just the only place! I knew ’twas useless to protest So not a word I said; And ere I knew just what was what Why,—there I was—in bed! A dozen pretty nurses came And fluttered round about— They each had different treatments” Which they wanted to try out. They stuck me full of needles — They filled me up with pills— They X-Rayed me until they found The cause of all my ills. They stole my blood and made with it A microscopic slide— Then they planked me on a trolley And “took me for a ride . They waked me for new “treatments” Each time my eyelids closed— ’Twas always time for “temperatures” If ere, by chance, I dozed! They starved me to a skeleton— They fed me till I burst— Of all the various “treatments” I don’t know which was worst. And yet, withal, they were so kind That this to me is plain— If I, once more, am taken sick, I’ll come right back again!!! Admitting Office The first to see them enter— The last to see them go— They’re the people who admit them And discharge them you know. take this opportunity to say that— Although at times we grumble— And make a lot of fuss We really are grateful For all you do for us And when you phone us to report “The duplicates’’ we’ve forgotten to bring We may be hurried but we are sorry We necessitated the ring And when we bring a patient down We—just take him for the ride— It’s you who figure out the bill From columns broad and wide And maybe some day in the future When our span on earth is done And we approach the “Pearly Gates” We’ll find that you’re the ones St. Peter has chosen to calculate If he should or should not admit one. Training School Office We, the Graduating Class of 1949, wish to express our thanks to the members of the Nursing School Office for their patience and guidance during our three years here. And to Miss Connal, whose outstanding ability and kindly interest led us so skillfully through our initial term, we wish to express our special thanks. To her we cannot express in words our deep appreciation. MEDICAL SUPERINTENDENT TO THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1949— You are now members of a noble profession. A profession which has for its prime object “the service it can render humanity”. That service is further interpreted in your case as the maintenance of health and the post¬ ponement of death. It is the dedication of your knowledge, your powers, and your gifts to the services of others, rather than to the acquisition of material wealth. You must believe in the greatness of your profession, its dignity, its sta¬ bility, its real importance and its essential strength. I know you will reflect honour and credit to your profession and I hope you will derive from it the happiness that makes life worthwhile, and that you will be held in grateful remembrance by those whom you have served, and in respect and esteem by the Confrere’s with whom you have lived and worked. Sincerely, J. D. HEASLIP, M.D. Second East We have all spent some time during our training days on Second East — storing memories in the log of time. The Operating Room phoning at 6:55 to inform us that Mr. X is booked for surgery, creating a hustle and bustle to get the prep” done and finally going off duty saying “It ' s all in a day’s work.” —Some of us will never forget going all over the hos¬ pital to get the doctors to sign the book”. Or the times we have gone to the T S.O. with all the broken thermom¬ eters, the tray somehow having slipped to the floor. —Admitting at 7:00 p.m.—You get the clothes book,— you get the orderly—you make up the chart—you—you and before we know it the patient is in bed, the doctor is phoned and then off we go. —Keeping close watch on al l sick and delirious patients and rushing around for a dressing room suturing. Yes, these are just some of the things that have filled the chapters of our diaries and provided the highlights of our training period. Third West We have now reached the top of the second flight of stairs and womens’ surgical extends to both right and left but let us first turn to the right and see Third West. 359! What is that in the large frame with all those pulleys and ropes and heavy bags? Oh! That’s a Balkan Frame extending some poor patient’s broken leg. Over there? A probationer is staying with a patient who has just returned from the Operating Room. These patients are never left until they completely regain con¬ sciousness because careful vigilance is necessary in re¬ gards to color, pulse, respiration and intravenous medi¬ cation. All along the left side are the private and semi-private rooms. On the right we see the Kitchen where the? trays are set up and the food is dished piping hot, this way to appeal to the greatest extent to our patients’ dim¬ inished appetites. The desk—the little work slip under the mica, the chart cupboard with every chart in its place, and the order book checked and carried out. The medicine cupboard—the blanket cupboard kept neatly by the Probies,—the dress¬ ing room ready for immediate use, and our twenty bed ward are all part of Women’s Surgical Third West. Gauze Room GAUZE ROOM BLUES The morns arc dark and dreary, When we stagger, rather weary. To our posts throughout the hospital, you see. But the place that keeps us snoring And by far the one most boring Is the position of the Gauze Room, you ' ll agree? First we argue over time slij And who ' s to make the war And when that ' s settled we Sorting covers by the score And then filling them once Knowing all the while our Then a full hour after, (We are on hour dafters!) We ' ve covers filled and pu Someone to the O.R. goes By the Autoclave she stow Our little cart which shows Then when coffee time dra We all shed a little tear Room for a while; We have a ripping time (Gee, this one ' s hard to rhyme!) Making all the various covers the right size With that stamping that you hear We make “4 x 4 ' s” and EAR , Laps , 8 x 4 ' s , COMPRESS GAUZE and EYI These finished we’ve a hunch That it ' s time to go to lunch So gaily to the Dining Room we go! And then our Hours off . . . (’Til we think we’ve had enough!) Then back we plod with steady step—but slow! Again, we visit every ward Collecting covers by the hoard And sort and fill them ' til our work is done. Then we clean up spic and span’’ Empty the old garbage can; And at seven o ' clock we drop the keys, and run! You may think tis easy life But you know not half the strife That goes on in those four walls ' til you ' ve been ther You’ll need it in small doses — Otherwise you ' ll find you’ll tear your hair! —Ruth Ragg, 1947. Third East Now let us turn to Third East. The type of patients here are similar to those we have just seen on 3W, but the floor is only half the size. Let us stop for a minute in the kitchen— Food cart, toaster, shelves with trays. Hmmm! What’s on this tray? Potato puff, sliced chicken, creamed celery. It is good and hot! Yes, Mrs. -will like that. At the desk, all the work is organized. Each patient ' s prescriptions are carefully filled out and fluids, drainages, medicines accurately charted. That is the lock cupboard and inside are the clothes and some linen tucked away for a rainy day. On the right hand side of this corridor are the semi-rooms and on the left side are the general wards. At the end of these we see the neatly kept linen cupboard—sheets, gowns, spreads, etc. The hopper room with clean smelling basins and rows of pans. You must see our cheery look¬ ing private rooms at the other end. Due to the thoughtfulness of our supervision, the patient’s comforts, likes and dislikes are always considered. Fifty-two Fourth Floor I Accident beds, quickly! Four cases coming in right away. The rooms ' Be full, they will all have to go into the corridors. An intravenous must be iBirted immediately. Would you take those requisitions to the lab please? Kus is routine on fourth floor. I Here we see male surgical patients seeking aid for every type of ailment Horn craniotomy to amputation of the great toe. Treatments vary as greatly H do the patients and operations. Everything from pencillin to foments must bi carried out. ■ The orderlies play an important role. For if it wasn’t for them, who Mould be General Joe. Who would cut the casts, make the Balkan Frames g; e the enemeta, move the beds, do the heavy lifting, and who would drink He coffee in the kitchen, which is brought over from the cafeteria? Thanks H the orderlies, our duties are made lighter. ■ Every patient, whether in private room or in corridor, whether in Balkan Hrame and sectional mattress or on a soft spring-filled mattress—all get the ■ me care, the same consideration and enjoy their stay in hospital—we hope. I We now have a Stryker bed. R||, wm F JF If ' 1 11 1 1 1 i 1 1|||| 1 fr j j au m ■ ? 4 MJl J i j| J L ?ii| ? J Operating Room Miss Baker Miss Klein The Operating Room, situated on the west end of the fourth floor of our Hospital, is the setting for an important and interesting part of our training. It consists of a workroom, desk areas, a sterilizing room, the Doctors Room, a small X-Ray Room, and four Major and two Minor Operating Rooms: Here, under the efficient and helpful guidance of our Supervisor, Miss Baker; the Assistant Supervisor, Miss Klein, and the Graduates, we spend three fascinat¬ ing months. Each student starts at the bottom as Junior and works to the top or Senior. Each week the duties vary, starting with the initial training of the cleansing of instruments, enamel, gloves, etc., progressing each week into a new type of work until we have been taught the technique of scrubbing; wearing gown and gloves; waiting on a room during an operation; assisting with minor operations, and later, major operations; the principles of sterilization of all O.R. supplies; how to check gloves; how to prepare all linen and gowns for sterilizing for operations; how to set up rooms for Ops.; the selection and care of instruments for minor cases and how to prepare all O.R. supplies in¬ cluding dressings, linen, solutions, etc. Of the three months, two weeks arc spent on night duty. In this time, the nurses handle emergency cases; make supplies; sterilize supplies and prepare the rooms for the following day. This, then, is the O.R., a busy excitinq unit which supplies a valuable training to our nurses. Do you remember?— 1—Your first week and all the scrub- bies. 2—Your first T A. 3—Classes in draping, and our friend. 4—Lunch at 2.00 p.m. and the imperial that re¬ freshes. 5 -Making dressings on Sun¬ days by the dozens. 6—Saturday: cleaning. 7—Your Sunday on sutures. 8— ALL and we mean all the emer¬ gencies. O.R. Saturday Night The usual dose is seven Taken as the case may be But mine turned out eleven And then another three Now this is Sat. to which I call Your attention now as this is all. I worked awhile at counting things And this is where the fun begins, I climbed up ladders till I thought If I climbed one more I’d be apt to drop. So, just for a change I ' d go have a look, At Bessie and Betsy and the little black book, Bess is slow with an hour load, Betsy makes up like a hopping toad, I run a cart down to the back (I know how 3W likes that?) And empty—Betsy—with a learned nack. Then a refill and turn on the steam. We work together like a willing team; But Bessie, big autoclave, is so slow 1 guess I will to supper go Return once more my rounds to make Of Bess, etc., and then to take The count of dressing by the score Just for variety upon the floor (I used the table) Fifty-six, fifty-seven, the telephone rings. Accident -yes, right away—yes—yes— Bang!—We now begin This can go on the whole night long. But lucky for me not when I was on. After interruptions like this and so Back once more to counting I go. Of course I’ve forgotten and have to restort But finally load up the last O.R. cart. And straighten up my aching back To find I’ve lost all track of time. I must tidy up for seven is nigh. Whoopee! -only I heave a big sigh. This may be exaggerated here and there, But when you are finished go sleep if you dare. Diet Kitchen And last, but not least, our tour brings us to the fifth floor, the very top of the building, where one of our essential industries is carried out. Here, above the aches and pains, our food is prepared and though at times we hate to admit we all eat or live or should we say live to eat? This department is divided into two sections, the main kitchen where skilled cooks prepare the food that makes up the full light and soft diets and the diet kitchen in which the nurses concoct the contents of the unusual diets. The junior nurse spends most of her time and energy behind a large stack of pots and pans after having been educated in the technique of cooking por¬ ridge without burning it, and making chocolate syrup without boiling it over. In close opposition we see another nurse preparing all the oddities of special diets. Her job does not stop when she goes off duty, for then she must take the menu and sort out what the cardiac nephritic and sippy diets, etc. are allowed. For these patients she substitutes the various dishes, to which they are restricted for the items they are not allowed on the general menu. When you have been in the diet kitchen a set length of time, you work on diabetic diets. These girls sit and weigh the different foods they have select¬ ed for diabetic patients. They then store these foods in the refrigerator on large trays being very careful not to slip and spill the contents en route to cold storage. After spending the allotted time in these different sections, the last week in the diet kitchen is very varied because the senior nurse spends this week filling in the different stations as each student has her day off. After a train¬ ing of this kind he who says a nurse, is a poor cook may be right. m To be wronged is nothi continue t remember it. CJ ik ISOLATION AT ISOLATION I’ll never forget my days over here, For the days all seemed at least a year. We had two at least and twelve at the most And scarlet fever was all that we had to boast. It seems that our patients just had the knack To catch chicken-pox, or measles when ready to pack, They were only to stay for their twenty-one days. But on the nineteenth their spots were like a maze. With milk on the hour and water galore, There was always a bedpan coming in at the door. The pills, of which there were only a few, Were really so tasteless the wee ones could chew. The food over here was abundant and more. In fact, eating almost became a big bore. Miss Campbell entertained us with style galore, So here’s thanks for our tr aining expressed once more. —-N. Gilchrist. Fifty- EDITORIAL Ever since the days of the cave man, human beings have suffered the effects of fractures, wounds and other ills. In the dark ages, hospitals were houses of the sick and dying, filled with filth and corruption. As man progressed, his hospitals improved and today are filled with people whom, after receiving surgical and medical care, leave the hospital better fit to face the trials of life than when they came. In this edition of our year book we have tried to take you, the reader, on a tour of all our wards and let you share the experiences of the patient. In trying to accomplish this fact we have also tried to give you a picture of a Student Nurse, her character and convictions. It is our hope that your time was filled with pleasureful entertainment. May we take this opportunity to say “Patronize our Adver¬ tisers—they make our year book possible’’. You ' re Invited To Shop at EATON ' S . . . For Nurses ' Uniforms, Oxfords and Hosiery !
