It was February 7, 1944, that twenty five young girls entered the portals of CMH to devote their time to the study and care of the afflicted. However, their desire for a part in this profession came long before their actual entry. Each of them had her own convictions about nursing and her own reasons for wanting to be a nurse; but all of them were spirited on into this field by patriotism when our Government urged the girls of America to consider nursing education to aid our country during World War II. These girls constituted our class— the Class of ' 47—1. May, 1944, was designated by the Public Health Service for the official induction of student nurses into the Cadet Nurse Corps. In our gallant grey -Cadet uniforms, trimmed in brilliant red, we proudly and courageously pledged our services in nursing along with other members of our school. Lillian Collett was elected as our first president (later, gave up nursing); Lila Gilbert was vice president (and acting president); Louise Foglia was secretary; and Margaret Sharpe, as treasurer, handled our monthly class dues. Miss Thelma Southerland, R.N., was chosen as our class sponsor. These officers reigned until our Senior year. At this time Rachel DuBose became president, Josephine Nantz vice president; and Louise Foglia took over the dual role as secretary and treasurer. Upon resignation of our former class sponsor, Miss Josephine Dunn, R.N., was elected. With these leaders, our class has remained thoroughly united throughout our three year training period. For six months we were the probies and the subject for all pranks and jokes. Our day of triumph finally arrived— we received our dainty caps in July and afterwards dashed off for a well-earned three weeks vacation. Upon return from the happv holiday, we found ourselves burdened with capped students duties. Time sped by, and we soon learned to do our tasks with ease and confidence. Seemed no time until we were having another vacation and then, in February 1946, we were honored with a black stripe to grace our caps of white. A wee marker, indeed, but oh how it gleamed the first day we walked on duty as seniors. Seems only yesterda y. Yet, here we are at the end of a three year trek, ready for the final black stripe and the all white uniform. Once we have passed State Board, our efforts will not have been in vain. History repeats itself— like the other classes, ours too has been no exception in losing several members along the way. As we reach the final stretch, we total only seventeen. And three of these left us the last six months to complete their program in the Indian Service. Small in number, but we have gathered a little moss on our feet. In July, 1946, we organized a school paper, The Draw-Sheet ; also, in September, ' 46, we took on the responsibility of publishing (jointly with Class of ' 47—2) the second edition of The Lamp, our school yearbook. In reminiscing, we remember well the parties, dances, anniversary dinners, and compliments— vaguely recalling the little mishaps while learning to shoulder the responsibility of a graduate nurse. The road has not been easy, nevertheless, as our goal is reached— we think, it hasn ' t been too difficult, in fact, often, it was fun. Lila Gilbert, Hisforirm LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, THE CLASS OF 1947—1, approaching the grand finale of a three year nursing education proc-sm at Charlotte Memorial Hospital, do not wish to take the last bow without leaving a few memoirs to those left behind. To the administrator, we bequeath our unheard of ideas and arrangements for the hospital. To Miss Burton, and other members of the staff, we bequeath our like new books, to give to those who may use them more wisely than we. To the supervisors, we bequeath our gold name plates, so that they may give them to the next eligible group of pirls that come their way. To the seniors, with pleasure, we bequeath the position we now hold. To the underclassmen, we bequeath all our good uniforms, polished shoes, runless hose, holeless hairnets, and starched caps. To the probies, we bequeath our ability to adjust to a new situation, and our ability to face facts. And, now, having completed our will as a group, we desire to further leave individually, certain cherished qualities and gifts to other members of the student body, as follows: I, Gertrude Wilburn, bequeath to Sara Doby, my love for bedtime snacks. I, Caroline Tharpe, bequeath to Jean Austin, my ability to do all nursing procedures flawlessly. I, Ruth Stenstrom, bequeath to Frances McCreight, rav desire to return to Florida. I, Josephine Nantz, bequeath my sewing ability and nightly exercise to Evelyn Smoot. I, Ann Miller, bequeath my childish acting to Edith Byers. I, Ruth Kirby, bequeath to Louise Wilson, my love for the opposite sex. I, Carrie Hartsell, bequeath my subdued manner to Alice Linker and may she remember to use it wisely. I, Betty Gwyn, bequeath my ability to cope intelligently with anv situation to Svbil Willis. I, Jean Gillespie, bequeath to Rachel McLain my old flames in Charlotte. I, Lila Gilbert, bequeath to Elizabeth Setzer, my desire for travel and new experiences. I, Louise Foglia, bequeath my long hours of night duty to whoever is unfortunate to be assigned this shift,— namely Gertrude Poole. I, Rachel DuBose, beoueath to Ruth Atwell, my position as editor of the Lamp. I, Wilma Crouch, to Elaine Waller, bequeath my ability to keep a neat hair-do while on duty. I, Kathleen Bryant, beoueath my vitamin pills and cathartics and all my other medications to Virginia Robinson to improve her health. I. Virginia Blalock, bequeath my sarcastic words to Emma Kate Allen, and may she use them more discreetly. Willi sound body, sane mind, and happv memories, we foreclose our last will and testament at Memorial Hospital School of Nursing.

We came, we saw, we conquered. This famous old quotation very fittingly describes the progress of a nurse from the day she enters training until the day of graduation. The Class of September 1947—2 is no exception; we also came, saw and conquered. On September 4, 1944 we came; we were thirty four in number, most of us still in our teens. One by one we arrived and were shown to our rooms bv important looking, neatlv uniformed student nurses. There we met our classmates with whom we would work and live in close association for three years. This day was a turning point in all our lives. We were beginning a new life, doing something we ourselves had chosen to do. For some this was the first time they had been on their own, away from the familiar surroundings of home. Each had her own personal reason or reasons for taking up nursing as her career; some came because they wanted to help their country in time of great need; others came because they had a longing to serve humanity through nursing. But whatever the reason for entering, each prospective nurse also had her own special determination to be successful in her new life. Yes, we came, and after we came we saw. What did we see? We saw from the stacks of thick books which were handed us that we had much to learn; we saw the classroom where we would absorb the facts and procedures which we had to master to do capable work on the halls. That first six months of hard study and lectures was the basis for our entire nursing career. What we learned there was to be applied in all our future work as nurses. After learning these new procedures and using them in the classroom, we would have to apply them to living patients which was a little more difficult, but this too we would master. After the first six months elapsed, and we had completed our so-called basic training, we received our dainty stiff white caps in a simple ceremony; but though the ceremony was simple and the cap small, that night was the proudest we had yet experienced. No more preclinical days for us; we were old enough in training now to take on the full responsibilities of any other student. When we had been here for quite a while and had time to study each other ' s qualifications, we elected our class officers. Miss Doris Richey was chosen to be our president, and she has proved to be a capable and invaluable officer. The days, weeks, and months passed quickly, and we received our black stripes which meant we had been in training two years. This new addition to our white caps designated that we were seniors, and more would be expected of us in taking responsibility and teaching others. Time has taken its toll, and now there are only eighteen of ' 47—2 left; but those eighteen are proud of their record. We have conquered the problems set before us; we have learned to soothe and ease, to calm a worried heart, to aid the doctors skillfully in surgery and minor procedures; through nursing we have met many problems and learned to solve them. We have gained a knowledge of people which most of us lacked in our prenursinc days. Most important of all we have made many close and lifetime friendships. It wasn ' t all work and no play. We have had many good times together from the days we used to sing in class to our recent get togethers which include a lot of eating and a lot of talking. The day after one of those get togethers we feel a little pudgier. Soon we will take our State Board examination, and our student days will be over, and each will go her own way. Most of us feel that our class has an unusual amount of fellowship and that we are a very close group; so it will be like saying goodby to our sisters when we have to part. But no matter how far we go we will always have memories of our days at old C. M. H., and those memories will linger long with us Miriam A. Murphy, Class Historian LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Being of sound body and excellent mind, we, the members of the Senior Class of 1947—2, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and forty-seven, do declare this to be our last will and testament to be executed in the following order: Section One Article 1: D.

Article 7: (Little One) Keziah leaves her duck legs to Edith Ramrod Byers. Article 8: Excitable Frankie leaves her excitability to Martin No. 3. Article 9 : P.

Sharpe leaves her time to make up to the class of ' 49 since they have so much of it left. Article 12: Lucy Saunders bequeaths her loyalty to true love, same as Charlie, to all females at C. M. H. as an example of same. Article 13: Setzer gives to Dotty Blackburn her love for classmate ' s brother. Article 14: B. Ballard bequeaths her degree of Mrs. to all future brides in the student bodv. Article 15: Evelyn Smoot— she doesn ' t mean a word of it— leaves her sarcasm to Matheson. Article 16: Forsythe donates her changeable disposition to Jean Austin. Article 17: Einstein Garmon bequeaths her very brainy gray matter to F. Ussery. Article 18: B. Hiott leaves her ability to get on restriction at the most crucial moments to E. Cobb. Article 19: Lillian Dampier wills to Bessie in a bustle her terrific crushes. Section Two Article 1: To all the up and coming students we hereby bequeath our balls and chains and picks and stones along with the hope that you don ' t take them too seriously. Article 2: To the Faculty and all those who had a part in teaching us in the classroom and on the halls we wish to leave our sincere thanks and appreciation for their efforts. We know that through the guidance and aid thev have given us we will be able to face the future with more assurance. Article 3: To each separate class we leave the good fellowship and close relationship between classmates that we have been fortunate enough to experience.
