Is this really what I want? I look at a nurse performing her duties with confidence, patience, knowledge, and skill. Is it possible for me to become a good, efficient nurse performing with such excellence? First semester: communication techniques . . . total A.M. care . . . vital signs . . . C.P.R. . . . transcribing orders, charting . . . process recording . . . history forms . . . first care plan. Second Semester: Injections and medications . . . history forms, care plans on every patient . . . adaptation . . . wound care . . . IV ' s . . . total patient care. How could I have learned so much in just one year?

Long hours are spent doing layouts, writing copy, taking, developing and printing pictures, and going to meetings where many times, all you learn is what you ' ve been doing wrong. It ' s not a very glorifying job for the few people who work so hard. However, it is a rewarding job, because, when it ' s all over and all the deadlines have been met, there is a lifestyle on what at one time were just empty pages. We, the yearbook staff, would like to thank you for allowing us to express ourselves, and we would like to thank the Administration for allowing us to continue this tradition. Bottom of opposite page, left to right, are the yearbook staff members. Top Row: Betsy Gilardi, Carol Porter, Ellen Williams, Marcella Fontenot, Maria Lemoine, Belinda Smith, and Sheila Sorrell.
