But when are |ew, the changing other Nature writes e face of our indeedYfartunate to surroundjjhgs of such PROLOGUE We are all actresses on the stage of life. Our drama begins when we are but inexperienced amateurs led bv the guiding light of past stars. At first, the task seems too big, and we are tempted to end the play before it is truly begun. But we play our part and progress until we are capped at the end of Scene I. Our nurse ' s cap is a treasured possession, a symbol of our dedication to humanity— calling forth from each of us the highest qualities of womanhood. Through smiles and tears, we each portray our character. There are happy days when the play goes smoothly and tiresome nights of studying the script. As we pause in our reflections, we see the tragedies and comedies mingled together into one completed drama, and our happiness and sorrows interpreted as one role in Life ' s play. For some of us, our role is ending; for others it is iust beginning. We seniors pause to look back on the play we have acted; you underclassmen are looking forward to the three happy years whicb will change you from amateurs into professional actors. Many of us will begin a new play, while others will add new acts to this play and become great stars with names in shining lights. The performance is about to begin, the house lights dim, the babble of voices and the tinkling of laughter fade away, and the footlights flash on. . . . Page Six - ■ ■ - - - - - DEDICATION We, the Senior Class, dedicate this, our 1952 Lamp, to Miss Ethel F. Burton as a small gesture of appreciation for the great service she has rendered to each of us individually, to the school as a whole, and to the nursing profession at large. Under the guiding hand of one of the state ' s ablest nursing edu- cational directors, we have progressed from inexperienced amateurs ' to well prepared actors eager to assume our role in an even bigger drama. Time cannot erase our sincere appreciation of Miss Burton ' s untiring and devoted efforts. If, in our future roles, we should chance to win applause or secure top billing, it shall only serve to reflect back to one who prompted us kindly and encouraged us to give our best.

Page Thirty-two CLASS HISTORY The curtain went up on the drama of the Class of ' 52 on Labor Day, September 5, 1949. Fifty-one expectant, naive prospective students were socially welcomed to the Charlotte Me- morial Hospital family at a wiener-roast on the front lawn. On the following Saturday night upperclassmen claimed us as little sisters. ' ' That first month seemed to be a whirlwind of anxiety, adjustments and discouragement. We soon became familiar with a new vocabulary: TPR, pre-op medication, BP, hospital routine, etc. When informed by an upperclassman that our petty-coat was showing we checked our bed making before we observed our personal attire. Perhaps it was the vibrant friendship of our chosen sponsor, Miss Byers, and of Miss Caddell, that brought us triumphantly through that nine months of study, fellowship, and practical appli- cation. As we sat on the stage at that glorious hour of capping, we realized that our ranks were already shrinking, for only forty-nine of us said the Florence Nightingale Pledge that night. We, as all those who follow us, shall always remember our capping ceremony. After all, we were the class of firsts. We were the first nursing class to complete a nine month probie course, and the first anywhere to have the processional music suddenly cease as we marched down the aisle— the needle of the phonograph which was re- placing our ill pianist had stuck on the record! We plunged into our Junior year, newly in- spired by our summer vacation and that proud feeling that comes to most upperclassmen. Stu- dent body meetings became more interesting. We enthusiastically pledged membership to the newly born North Carolina State Student Nurses ' Association. Our work on the special services began. One-third of the class departed for psychiatric affiliation in March, 1951. Nevertheless social activities went on. Sara Vaughn reigned over the Hallowe ' en Carnival; Rocelle Speight represented us in the Christmas Queen contest; a spring dance was sponsored in honor of the Senior Class; and after our first whole month of summer vacation, our interest in the male species remained aflame. Although there was no formal ceremony, the climax to the story be gan the day we received our first black stripe— our final year as students at Charlotte Memorial. We realized on arrival home from Torrance, in December, 1951, an epidemic of engagement-ringitis had struck dur- ing the fall months of that year. The year changed quicklv and we expected it to be the best. To our discernment the pre- clinical class won the booth prize for the Hal- lowe ' en Carnival, but our own Flelen McMichael made a striking queen of the Christmas Ball. The Lamp went to press in March, after labored efforts. A spring dance was given in honor of our class. The climax of the story drew to a close in early summer, when thought of gradua- tion occupied our minds. We hope, as the final curtain falls on our drama, that our friends, relatives, and fellow students are proud of this production. Most of all, we hope that our instructors are proud of us, because it was they who chose the cast of charac- ters and were the silent authors of the script. As we make our curtain-calls and the thrill of our first performance is ringing in our hearts, we bid C.M.H. a temporary farewell. On September 5, 1952, our second perform- ance will begin as we assume the role of grad- uates. Though we will be clad in white, our one aim is to not forget that we were once students. We offer our everhelping hand to the students who follow us, as we give the best to our profession. Fran Nicol, Class Historian Page Thirty-three THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT As the curtain falls on our student days, the stage is set for graduation. We, the Class of 1952, do hereby bequeath these our worldly attributes and declare this as our last will and testament. Section I We will to Charlotte Memorial Hospital School of Nursing . . . our everlasting loyalty. We will to the doctors and faculty our expression of appreciation for their guidance, patience, friendship, and for just being themselves. We will to the student body the hope that their memories of the school will be as pleasant and as long remembered as ours. Section II I, Sara Vaughn, will my horse laugh to Martha Ann Neighbors in hopes that she will enjoy it as much as I have. I, Bertie Oliver, will my ability to fix Dr. Pitts ' bovey to Norma Blue. We, Velma Pankey and Peggy Cherry, do hereby will our quiet and peaceful room across from the house- mother ' s desk to Val Byrd, and we will be wondering who will have to buy the ear plugs first. I, Dot Morrison, will my ability to play basketball to Pat Hayes. I, Catherine Hicks, will my line of sales talk to anyone on the annual staff of 1953 who can use it. I, Ann Fornes, will my love of Leather Necks to Joyce V. Smith, who is already familiar with this branch of service. We, Johnsie Herman, Ruth Faw, and Betty Jo Boyles, will our leftover midnight oil to anyone who can find the magic match to light the lamp. I, Suellen Huffman, having been proven of unsound mind, do hereby bequeath my ability to worry about all trifles to anyone of equally unsound mind. I, Lorraine Algar, being of sound mind (I hope), will the ability to scrub for the McKay ' s and Baird to anyone who can live up to their requirements for sterile technique. I, Helen McMichael, will my barnyard walk to Betty Floyd. I, Peggy May, will my domestic nature to Jo Cloninger. I, Patty Belk, respectfully w ' ill my nickname Curly, given me by Dr. Jones, to Carolyn Atwell. I, Frances Epley, hereby will my perpetual giggle to Joyce Smith. We, Carolyn Morgan and Betty Fowler, leave our looking forward to graduation with matrimony in view to Mary Frances Carroll and Virginia Horton. I, Margie Green, will my ability to make the wrong decisions at the wrong time to Mutt Jenrette. I, Arlene Snider, will my love for music to anyone who enjoys exploring its meaningless depths as much as I. 1, Betty Northey, leave my Southern drawl(?) to Carolyn Atwell, hoping she doesn ' t have to spend as much time as I, translating- o I, Martha Arrants, respectfully will my carefully planned and thoroughly executed week-ends to anyone who can work the Monday afterwards. I, Paula Shaver, leave a seedling of the old grape- vine to anyone who finds herself entangled in its vines as much as I have been. I, Betty Renegar, will my what-nots to Gerry Hollars, in hopes that she will clean them, and add to the collection. We, Gladys Wineberry and Gloria Fletcher, will to Blanche Gilbert and Valdorena Byrd our places before the Student and Honor Council, hoping that they won ' t get to know them as well as we. o I, Ann Nash Maynard, will my lordosis to anyone who wants an eggbeater walk, and if no one wants it, I ' ll just leave. I, Joyce Prince, will my lack of domestic talents and the ability to wait until tomorrow to just anyone. I, Helen Crawford, do will and bequeath my great imagination to Billic Soles in the hope that she doesn ' t let it run away with her. I, Fran Nicol, will my boisterous nature to Jo Cloninger. We, Pat Rhash and Rocelle Speight, will to all those serving their country by having a man in Uncle Sam ' s ranks the ability to persuade the head nurse that on the special week-ends, every moment counts. Rocelle Speight, Pat Rhash, Testators WITNESS: Betty Northey Page Thirty-jour K7 CLASS PROPHECY Standing high on a hill on the outskirts of Charlotte is a graduate nurses ' home operated by Mrs. Hall, who gave up her position as housemother in The Barn. Several of her girls are still with her, although five years have passed. It ' s coffee time as usual, and the girls are gathered about the fireplace reminiscing. Betty Jean Fowler is the present topic of conversation, as she was a blushing bride last evening. Richard surprised her by his unexpected return from Japan, and she immediately gave up her job in the offices of Drs. Van Hoy and Sparrow. Before the big occasion, Carolyn M. Talley enter- tained B. J. with a crystal shower. Mrs. Talley had on display many souvenirs that she had brought back from deepest Africa on her trip to organize the Congo Student Nurse Association. During the course of the evening, an old Lamp was removed from the shelf, and much gossip followed as each picture was examined. We know Fran Nicol loves her job as health nurse at the Prince Home for Juveniles. Miss Prince ' s startling new approach to the psychological problems of delin- quents is sweeping the nation. Her book, The Prince Report, is due any day. Suellen Huffman has combined her vast experience with love problems with her nursing talents, and is author of a daily column in The Observer, entitled Love and Healtn. Remember our baby-sitting days? Lorraine Algar always was in great demand. She has her own baby- sitting agency now and trains others in her art. Peggy Cherry, Helen Crawford, and Catherine Hicks are getting plenty of experience with their own little cherubs. They are reportedly using the Power Anti- Weak ' n Nervous Method of child rearing. Betty Renegar, no longer our sensitive child, has become a ringside nurse as Madison Square Garden. Also in New York are Gloria Fletcher and Rocelle Speight, who hold important positions in Macy ' s De- partment Store. Gloria has found the perfect job— that of demonstrating the sleeping comfort and health quali- ties of Dream Awhile Mattresses. Rocelle is a cele- brated model of Macy ' s graduate nurse uniforms. Helen McMichael and Martha Arrants are content with their specialties. Cold-natured Martha has ad- justed to the weather in Alaska and has calloused hands from driving her dog sled through the snow visiting the sick. Galloping through the hills of Kentucky is all in a day ' s work for midwife McMichael. Needless tc say, Helen ' s hands aren ' t all that are calloused! Margie Greene finds her training valuable experience as she brilliantly portrays the leading role in A Woman in White. Sara Vaughn realized her ambition to be- come an instructor. Her program on The Value of Scraped Apples in Treating Infant Diarrhea places first among the educational programs seen on television. The Rosetta Club, which was founded by Bertie Oliver, has taken its place among the national nursing organizations. Bertie is serving her second term as president, and Gladys Wineberry is treasurer. Captain A. Snider, of the U. S. Army Nurse Corps, found an exciting life in gay Paree. She gads about from place to place and has just returned from the Olympic Games, where she saw B. J. Boyles take first place in the ski jump, and Dot Morrison cop top honors in pole vaulting. Johnsie Herman, air line hostess, managed a short visit to Puerto Rico to see Mrs. Don Martin, the former Paula Shaver. On her return trip, she chanced to meet an old classmate, Patty Belk, the world renowned medical missionary, who was returning from the mission field for a visit with her parents. Ann Fornes, Pat Rhash, and Frances Epley com- prise a singing team for the recruitment of student nurses. This is only a part-time job, for they have founded a new field which is recognized by the A.N. A. Circus nursing involves many responsibilities. They must be specialists in treating trapeze accidents, snake bites, and sawdust allergy. Peggy May ' s Cheaper by the Dozen Gift Shoppe, featuring her original designs, is enjoying much popu- larity among the tourists at Monte Carlo. Mentioned frequently in Pearson ' s column is our own Betty Northey, who is doing a top-notch job of lobbying for the A.N. A. Ruth Faw ' s leading the life of Riley as nurse-companion to a rich old man with a cough. They spend much of their time at Miami Beach. It ' s rumored that he is willing her his many millions. Serving as scrub nurse to one of the South ' s leading veterinarians is petite Nashie Maynard, former fly- weight Golden Gloves Champion. It can easily be said that the Class of ' 52 has lived up to its goals and Miss Burton ' s expectations (we are all A.N. A. and Alumnae members). Who can tell what greater achievements five more years will bring? Only time can tell. Velma Pankey is now head nurse on a vast Indian Reservation in the Southwest.
