[19 ] TO 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 in the living now, To reach the soul through its body ' s woe Ah! this is the way that God would go. Oh, white capped girls in service true, Our great Physician ' s working through you. Clinical Practice Pre-clinical The longed-for uniforms! In these pages are recorded the practical experiences of our student days. It is in actual work in the hospital that we have the opportunity to display our nursing ability from the first drink of water given a patient until the day we leave the wards —our practice completed. We cannot help feeling a little proud when we think of the progress we have made. [ 22 ] Temperature, pulse, and respiration! ★ Practice At the appointed time. I WILL NOT SKIP THAT CORNER! Surgery! The service of preciseness. The second year in the School of Nursing finds the Juniors proficient in the basic procedures and enthusiastic over learning more intricate treat¬ ments and services. Thrice a day this task comes ' round. I ' ve given hundreds of these! So many drops to instil! I Hemostats, the subject of my dreams . . . I Children ' s playroom! Nine A.M orax: opring, summer, wi Moleskin, pulleys, ropes, and weights! Stroking, kneading, and exercise! Celery, lettuce, sweet pepper, tomatoes! IN APPRECIATION OF THE SISTERS Flunq into the turbulent sea of the world we would perish without a balance to our keel. This balance must be immu¬ table, must be stronq enough to remain unimpressed by passing modes in the storm of war. Our Sisters of Charity are our equilibrium. It is sufficient to keep their ideals fresh in our minds. These ideals have been given us—it is up to us to keep and multiply our talent. 129] THE NIGHTINGALE PLEDGE I do solemnly pledge myself before God and in the presence of this assembly: to pass my life in purity and to practice my profession faithfully. I will abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischie¬ vous and will not take or knowingly administer any harm¬ ful drug. I will do all in my power to elevate the standard of my profession, and will hold in confidence all personal matters committed to my keeping, and all family affairs coming to my knowledge in the practice of my profession. With loyalty will I endeavor to aid the physician in his work, and devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care. CLASSES It is the 25th day of November of 1947 and a young : lady smartly clad in sables is seen walking down Unter- den-Linden Avenue, Berlin, Germany. She stops before i the Hindenburg Hotel where the International Nurses ' i Association is holding the first post-war convention. : Approaching from the opposite direction is a general i of the United States Nurses ' Corps, who after a moment ' s hesitation greets her with the following salutation: M.R.: It ' s grand to see you again, Margie. Seems like old times. . . . Remember our last convention of ' 42 in Baton Rouge? Are many of our old class here? M.M.: Yes, Mildred, there are. Rose Emma Andrus is here but she gave up nursing to marry a banker and to settle down in Abbeville. She was Chairman of the town ' s Red Cross drive during the war and received recognition for the activity of her chapter. M.R.: So very glad to hear that. Is Joyce Becker here? M.M.: My dear, you should see her—she couldn ' t pos¬ sibly leave her duties. She ' s director of a home of German refugee children which certainly occupies her time since the enrollment at present is about 2,000. M.R.: You know, I haven ' t been able to return to the United States since the Armistice because I have been supervising the re-organization of the old German hos¬ pitals. I ' m certainly going to rely on you to give me the low-down on the old class. Stupid of me, but I haven ' t even asked what you ' re doing? M.M.: Why, my dear, Sal ' s now the Director of Belle¬ vue and my social entertainment doesn ' t leave me a minute for myself or nursing. M.R.: I don ' t mean to interrupt but there ' s Kathleen Russell. You know, Margie, she ' s now Dean of the School for Dietitians in London. They say she is really re¬ organizing the English method of cooking. And did you know that Betty Enzor has done some world-renowned gall-bladder surgery? She did two cholecystectomies on the open battle field during some of the major battles. M.M.: Imagine her a surgeon. No, I didn ' t know that, but I did know that Martha Fraley ' s husband was killed in action while taking the crown pearls from Buckingham Palace to bring home to her. She certainly has become a beautiful widow. On my trip here I stopped off a few days in London and attended the world premier of Gone With the War featuring none other than Rose Terrell in the leading role. She was simply devastating. Also, while touring the night spots I stopped in a York¬ shire cafe, where a side-light of the evening was Jane Miller and her Russian interpretative dance. She started doing public health on horseback in Kentucky but found it too rocking. M.R.: My, how our class drifted from nursing after the war! . . . Ruby Bauerle came over as Lieutenant, and since the war has opened a day nursery on the post for the officers ' children. Her paintings of the strawberry country and her beloved cat, Thomas, give the place such a home-like appearance. M.M.: I also see Myrtle Bourgeois quite often as she ' s Supervisor of our obstetrical unit at Bellevue. Her class in post-natal care to mothers has certainly been advan¬ tageous for the war mothers. M.R.: O, look! there ' s Mary Lou Breaux. She ' s now in charge of the student infirmary at L. S. U. Oh, the sur¬ prise I had for you is that Lela Clouatre is the 1947 Gold Star Mother and has really been given recognition by the government. M.M.: Poor Boogy couldn ' t attend the convention as she is on one of her annual tours of high schools lecturing on safety. The most famous of her topics is Don ' t sit on the tail-gate of a truck or you might fall out on your head. M.R.: I heard that Miss Martinez resigned in favor of Regina Ching. M.M.: Since the reorganization of Charity we find many old classmates still at our Alma Mater. Gertrude 132] now—the class prophecy Callegan replaced Mrs. Fabregas in 148 and the new systemization is terrific. The hospital director is our own Geraldine Lawrence. You can be sure that the students are being well taken care of, especially since I hear that they now have table service and table cloths. I imagine that Alma McCollister is giving her com¬ petition as Director of Hotel Dieu. Blanche Clause ' s interest in Sociology opened the way for her to become head of the House of Good Shepherd. Lessie Lee Whipp gave up her ideas of being an air hostess to be Chief Nurse at Angola Prison. It ' s rumored that she almost runs the prison. Juanita Walker ' s doing private duty in Hollywood. We heard that her last patient was Victor Mature. M.R.: Oh yes, Margie, I heard from Regus and Rodrigue from their health farm out in Colorado. Two of their last visitors were Pescoller and her millionaire husband. Pepsi hopes the desert air and the famous care of Misses Rodrigue and Regus will help him to¬ wards a speedy recovery. M.M.: Jerry Payton gave up nursing to help out in this year ' s Pea Picking in California. See what Soci¬ ology did again? There ' s Nell McGregor, too. She ' s teaching Sociology to medical students at Cook County. Her methods resemble those of our Instructor of ' 42. Nell tells me Sylvia Jacoby is teaching music at the Deaf and Dumb Institute in Ville Platte and that Helen Hardman is doing Frontier Nursing in Star City, Arkansas. She now has the natives wearing shoes. Domingue is operating room supervisor at Scott, Louisiana. She is really strict. Still the best scrub nurse I ' ve ever seen. M.R.: There ' s that famous diabetic authority, Esther Casey, who has started a reform here in Germany based upon the theory that sugar is the staff of life. M.M.: Nancy Cotham finally fell in love and married a shrimp peddler and lives on a house boat in the bayou. Liz Foster has acquired a position in a prominent doctor ' s office. Adella Dantin is doing Public Health Nursing in Caddo Parish. She takes care of a family of three in her spare time. M.R.: During the air raids in Egypt, I ran into Carolyn Newman. She married a Medical Missionary and was there comforting the wounded. M.M.: Ruth LaCroix is one of New Orleans’ prominent society matrons. She has settled down to see that all her children have strong, healthy teeth due to the in¬ fluence of her dentist-husband. The Court of Two Sisters is now under new management. After Mary Lou Breaux ' s book report on Fabulous New Orleans, Doris Hilton decided to recapture the beauty and romance of the Old City. Irene Muller is now owner of Ye Olde Remnant Shoppe and has special bargains on nurses ' uniforms. Mary Claire Nevin married a poultry salesman who used to come to Charity. She owns a lovely chicken farm in Jefferson Parish. M.R.: Yes, and I hear that she is also the new Social Director at Charity. Sally Pride, I understand, is living on a pension from the Navy. She lost her leg in the battle of Tripoli. Poor Sally, she was always so full of life. Monette (Honey) Prows and Jane Taylor are di¬ recting a Psychiatric hospital in Alabama. And Pee Wee Ryan is located in Washington as Advisor to the President on Problems of Nursing Education. Dot Wild is in charge of a South American Hospital for incurables, while Mardie Taylor is the noted chief of the Carville Lepro¬ sarium and each year furnishes transportation for the visit of the graduating class. M.M.: Well, Mildred, it ' s been grand talking over old times with you. M.R.: Yes, hasn ' t it? I suppose we should go in now. You know of course the President of the International Association, our own Mary Jane Stuart, wouldn ' t tolerate our being late. Aren ' t we proud of her? M.M.: Yes, and isn ' t she proud of us? [ 33 ] Senior Class History Let us pause for just a moment and turn back the annals of time to that day gone by when first we entered the Nursing School—that day on which the carefree attitude of youth was cast to the four winds of heaven and the cloak of responsibility accepted so willingly, so graciously—Each one of us had that about her which spelled keen determination to know more of this most noble profession. DO YOU REMEMBER: The day of entrance—Oh! the countless number of new faces—The anticipation of your first roommate—The hustle and bustle of unpacking—The fun of getting acquainted—The difficulty in remembering your mail box combination—The delight of eating in Charity ' s rose blue dining room? DO YOU REMEMBER: Our introduction to the faculty—The beginning of classes—Anatomy lab. with its characteristic odor—Formaldehyde—Chemistry, which to Dr. Brazda seemed so beautiful? DO YOU REMEMBER: Convocation—The breath-taking spectacle of four hundred nurses on parade— Our formal introduction to the student body? Our first General Assembly—A glimpse of student government based on parliamentary law—The thrill of being able to participate in the annual Fall Fiesta ? DO YOU REMEMBER: Our first Thanksgiving—Four glorious days with nary a care in the world? Christmas, the party, jolly old St. Nick and gifts for everyone—Our first eight-hour duty—The agony of finals and semi-finals—New classes—We begin five-hour duty on the wards? DO YOU REMEMBER: The Spring Dance? May, a great era in our lives for we are capped—We are given a nightingale lamp—Dr. Robbins tells us of the merits of nursing, and the responsibilities which we must assume as members of this profession—The class picnic at Audubon Park—Ah! it is June; we sign for vacations? DO YOU REMEMBER: Summer has gone its merry way—It is September—We are Juniors—Our second year brings with it added responsibilities—We sponsor the White Cap —our first night duty—OH! the weary eyes that first morning off duty— Happy day—We have another fall fiesta, with fun and frolic for all. Thanksgiving is here again-—Extra late leaves—Boxes of goodies from home? DO YOU REMEMBER: December seventh?—A cloud has descended in our midst—Our country is at war. Christmas—More late leaves—letters and cards from all sources—The Christ¬ mas party with all the trimmings? Seniors listen attentively as Dr. Carter lectures in OB. The last Christmas at Charity for many of us. Sr. Stanislaus, as always, makes us feel that this is indeed a home. The new year with resolutions galore—Finals and semi-finals? The annual spring dance—Glorious fun! Another class picnic, this time at City Park—Finals and then vacation? DO YOU REMEMBER: And now, the happy summer time has passed—We are Seniors—We have almost reached our journey ' s end—New classes—Obstetrics—the favorite of all— Convocation—For the first time we wear black bands on our caps—A true expression of seniority—The play sponsored by the Dramatic Club in honor of Sister Stanislaus ' Feast Day? DO YOU REMEMBER: The old-clothes ball, with a prize for the most original costume? Thanksgiving?—and this year more than ever before we realize just how much we have to be thankful for. Christmas—Our Santa, Dr. Midlo, bringing cheer and good tidings for all. The new year—The outstanding wish in our hearts?—Victory for our fighting forces. DO YOU REMEMBER: Finals—Our new classes? We select our class pins—We choose our uniforms and are fitted accordingly. The Red Cross Student Reserve—with 100 per cent enrollment of the class of 1943? The Spring Dance?—It seemed the most wonderful—We heaved a sigh of regret, knowing it was to be our last. DO YOU REMEMBER: We select our class flower, the cornflower: our colors, blue and silver. Most luscious banquet followed by dance at the Court of Two Sisters? The end of classes—Our studies at last complete? DO YOU REMEMBER: Graduation?—The seventeenth of June, the date— The place?—The Grand Ball Room of the Roosevelt Hotel—OH! proud and happy nurses! Three years have elapsed since that memorable day in September, 1940, but it shall always remain uppermost in our memories. We have achieved that for which we worked so diligently, so consistently. With the Nightingale Pledge ever on our lips and in our hearts, we march forth into the world to administer care, to comfort a needy humanity, and to prepare mankind for the dawn of Victory, we pray is near at hand.
