Once upon a time not so many years ago there was a little girl with pig¬ tails, freckles on her nose, and no front teeth. She was a bu sy little girl, for hers were the sickest dolls in town. Janie had a broken arm, Susie had whooping cough, and Mary was recovering from an operation, the incision in her side sewn up with Mother’s strong black thread. As this little girl cared for her “patients” she dreamed of someday, when she would be a real nurse! As the years went by the little girl changed and grew. She lost her pig¬ tails, found her teeth, and turned out to be you. We hope your dreams are as bright as they were on that day not so many years ago, and the satisfaction in your work as great as it was for “our little girl”. It is with affection and pride that we, the Seniors of 1950, dedicate this yearbook to you. [3 1 Dr. J. M. Emmett Chief Surgeon Dr. R. P. Hawkins Assistant to Chief Surgeon Dr. J. R.

I was instantly wide awake. Without my usual hesitation, I sprang from bed. My thoughts were a tumult of terror, eagerness, and curiosity. It was like Christmas morning when I still believed in Santa Claus, and yet—it was like going to school to take a test for which I hadn’t studied. I raised the shades a little and peered outside into the early morning. Rain was coming down in steady even sheets, spattering on the window pane and collecting in little pools in the yard. I realized the truth of the old saying; “Into each life some rain must fall,” but I felt there had been a cloud burst in mine when I remembered that my raincoat was packed in the bottorri of my trunk. At the nurses’ home, I found several girls running to and from cars carrying boxes, bags, and trunks. These girls, I knew, were to be my classmates and friends in the months and years to come. My father gave me a hand with my luggage, and I began the task of “moving in.” One of my former classmates was to be my roommate, so I didn’t feel quite alone. Other girls were moving in, discussing locker space, dresser space, examining every nook and corner of the rooms, reaching decisions about which side belonged to whom. We met in the reception room for a tea attended by our parents, several ministers from town, our faculty, older students, and, of course, twenty-three new students. It was a more-or-less “get- acquainted” affair, orienting us to a friendly environment. A little wave of homesickness crept over me as my folks drove away, but I smiled. That night, we all got together, talked, looked at pictures, and learned to know each other a little better. There was a mad rush for the showers, much splashing of water, giggling, and telling jokes. At last this mania was subdued, and the only sounds audible were muffled whispers between beds. Then every¬ thing was quiet. I lay awake awhile, thinking of home, the day just past, and wondering about the days that would follow. I realized that my childhood was unbelievably, but unmistakably gone—that this day had created a chasm between me and my past which I could never re-cross. I thought of all the nurses I had seen in white uniforms, starched and spotless, their white caps giving them a charm and dignity which I envied. 1 felt that there would be a lot of hard work, and that there would be days when I would be weary, homesick, and heartbroken. I had no assurance that I would ever be a nurse, but I n ' solved to try. I IT)} Capping is one of the greatest events in the life of any nurse—a solemn, but joyful moment that comes only once in a lifetime. It rep¬ resents achievement, as well as a challenge for the future. A cap is symbolic of the nursing profession, its dignity, and its responsibilites in the modern world. [ 16 ] layer The world grows brighter year by year. Because some nurse in her little sphere Puts on her apron, and smiles, and sings. And keeps on doing the same old things. Taking the temperatures, giving the pills T 0 remedy mankind’s numerous ills. Feeding the babies, answering the bells. Being polite with a heart that rebels. Longing for home, and all the while Wearing the same old professional smile. Blessing the new-born baby’s first breath Closing the eyes that are stilled in death. Taking the blame for all mistakes. Oh, dear! what a lot of patience it takes. Going off duty at seven o’clock Tired, discouraged, and ready to drop. But called out to help at seven-fifteen. With woe in the heart that must not be seen. Morning and evening, noon and night. Just doing it over, hoping it’s right. When we report off to cross the bar. Dear Lord, will you give us — Just one little star To wear on the caps of our uniform new In the ward above, where the head nurse IS YOU.

On your toes It was on the third Tuesday after the second Monday in September when the morning dawned, as every morning does dawn, but this was an extraordinary morning—it was the dawning of a new experience for eighteen girls. We had chosen nursing as our profession. New girls, new faces, trunks, suitcases, clothes everywhere, people scurrying through the halls, as we rushed madly around making acquaintances. Every minute of the first day was exciting and at the end of the day we were given a reception to welcome us to the school. The older students lost no time in beginning our initiation. Time came for “Lights out”—what a time we had makinar our short-sheeted beds before the housemother checked! O After rolling and tumbling during the night and hearing the clanging of trains on the tracks below us, dawn finally came. We were up again for a new and exciting day, eflf to breakfast and then —what a time we had parading around in cur housecoats and pajamas, wondering if we would pass our physical examinations. We hardly had time to to get ready for lunch when we found ourselves loaded down with an armful of books. We began to realize that this wasn’t going to be a picnic. Saturday morning found part of us rushing about getting ready to go home for the week-end. Those who remained did not lack excitement, as the rules had not been observed too well one of the girls found herself on campus for a week . . . Just thirty minutes late! After a month of hard studying, all the girls “whopped-it-up” in the recreation room to cele¬ brate the great and glorious Halloween holiday. This was a great m oment for some of us, as the stag line was wonderful. On November 16th, our uniforms came, and we found ourselves traveling down “Bed Pan Alley.” This was one of the most exciting days we had found. Christmas Day was creeping slowly upon us; everyone was shopping frantically for presents . . . I’hen followed a state of depression, during which we were all flat broke. As an ending for the holiday, we gave our formal dance December 28th. By this time six of the girls had decided that nursing wasn’t the profession for them, so at various times they packed their suitcases and quietly went away. Alter six months of hard work and studying, one of our most dreaded weeks rolled around . . . the week of final exams. During that time, we were all suddenly very intellectual and conscientious about our work. Books were leafed through again and again. The fatalists among us merely shrugged their shoulders and delivered themselves into the hands of fate. Then exam day came and panic gripped at our hearts as we walked into the final reckoning. When the exams were finished, we joy¬ fully put down our pens and went back on duty confident that we had failed them. It wasn’t long until we felt quite cheerful. We knew we were going to receive our caps. It was a dark, dreary morning on March 15, 1948, when half asleep we jumped into our uni¬ forms and went downstairs for assembly. How else could we have been awakened so quickly, than finding white caps upon our heads? We ate breakfast, and went on duty happy as larks. After capping, we were separated from each other for the first time. Part of us were working day duty, others working evenings and nights. It wasn’t long until part of us went on affiliation to Washington, and we bade these fellow classmates farewell. This procedure was repeated over and over again until we were together again after a year had passed. In September, 1949, we received our black bands and what a wonderful feeling! We worked until February 28, 1950, when we all began our affiliation at the University of Vir¬ ginia, where this is being written. It seems logical that the next few months will eventually pass and we will graduate, but at this time, those valiantly fought-for diplomas seem so very far away. 120} GLEE CLUB Back row: Mrs. Edward Schellhouse, Mary Canterbury, Shirley Simmons, Thelma Varner, Betty Grimes, Phyllis Edwards, Betty Lively, Gloria Johnson, Gharmine Glarke, Gloria Alls, Mildred Smith, Bertie Gunnoe, Harriet Palmer, Ann Andrews, Pat O’Farrell, Mary Miller, Virginia Morris.

Betty Devers furthers her training by entering the state of matrimony for a degree of MRS. Frances Long bequeathes her intellectual ability to Sue McCallister, with the hope that she will keep her scholastic average up to get home on week-ends. Jenny Carter’s winsome figure and athletic ability are left for Twyla Cain to keep the basketball team in shape. Peggy Oakes, more often referred to as noisy Lou, bequeathes her quiet and re¬ served manner to Chloe Flanagan. A love for O.R. is left by Pat DeHof with best wishes to the Freshman class. Betty Fluggard leaves her wit and love for “horse play” to Leila Camp. A love for Pediatric relief, especially on Saturday night, is left to Sassy Saville by Shirley Martin. Earnestine Gwinn’s pearly white teeth are bequeathed to the September 1953 class to be used in the study of Anatomy. The Senior class collectively bestows the following: Our corn plasters and bunion pads to the underclassmen. Our knowledge in obstetrics and pediatrics to the Junior class, hoping they will ac¬ complish more than we did. (Enjoy yourself; it’s harder than you think.) Our good fortune of keeping office on Saturday night to the Freshman class. And ability to sleep through anything, including classes, is left to the night duty nurses of the future. 122 } rpwif BASKETBALL TEAM Louise Reynolds, Manager Betty Masters Joyce Saville Joyce Gibson Ella Otto Patricia DeHof Grace Ricks, Ass’t Manager Virginia Carter Mary McCoy Mary Dudley Alice Dudley, Coach Wanda Saylor Mary Owen Margaret Harris CHEERLEADERS Gloria Johnson Gloria Alls Betty Lively Jeanette Jenkins Faye Nicely C23} The Gladys Inn In 1897, after a meeting of Chesapeake and Ohio Railway executives and employees in Richmond, came the organization of a Hospital Association and the establishment of a hospital at Clifton Forge, for the purpose of caring for sick and injured employees. Mr. George W. Stevens, General Manager of the road, and later president, was chair¬ man at this meeting. Clifton Forge, at that time, was a town of some 4,000 inhabitants; its streets were unpaved and sidewalks were nonexistant. Its location, however, as meeting-place of three C. O. divisions, made it immensely important to the railroad. The old “Gladys Inn,” located on the present hospital site was chosen for hospital purposes, and after extensive repairs had been made on the old building which had served as a combined hotel and station, the Chesapeake and Ohio Hospital was opened on December 1, 1897, equipped to care for approximately fifty patients. The staff consisted of one surgeon in charge, one interne, and four or five nurses. Dr. J. C. Wysor was the first surgeon, and he chose as his head nurse Miss M. H. Richardson. By the year 1914, when Dr. W. T. Oppenheimer succeeded Dr. Brock as chief sur¬ geon of the C. O. Railway, the popularity and business of the hospital had increased [ 24 ] V greatly. Considerable agitation was rising for a new hospital, since the “Gladys Inn” had become antiquated and was considered to be a fire hazard. Through the efforts of Dr. Oppenheimer and the president, Mr. George W. Stevens, the necessary funds were appropriated to construct a new hospital on the site of the old building. The new institution was opened with ceremonies on April 2, 1917. It was a thoroughly equipped general hospital with a bed capacity of sixty-five, and every facility for treatment of the sick and injured was provided. Dr. Wysor resigned during this year. Dr. B. B. Wheeler was appointed surgeon in charge, with Dr. E. D. Wells in charge of eye, ear, nose, and throat work, and Dr. J. N. Williams in charge of the X-Ray and Laboratory departments. Business affairs of the hospital, as well as the School of Nursing which had been organized in 1916, were under the management of Miss E. W. Bauer. In September, 1920, Dr. J. M. Emmett was appointed surgeon in charge, succeed¬ ing Dr. Wheeler. This position he has held until the present time. That same year the first class of student nurses, consisting of three, graduated. Miss Maude Daugherty became hospital superintendent in 1925, and remained in that position until Miss Pearl Pope succeeded her in 1932, at which time the nursing school was discontinued because there was a superfluous number of graduate nurses in the country. On May 12, 1936, a new wing to the hospital, of fifty additional beds, was dedi¬ cated. The entire building had been renovated and redecorated. The most modern X-Ray appliances, hydrotherapy department and other equipment had been installed. A large parking lot was provided in the rear and tennis courts laid out on the east side. In 1937, the nursing school was re-opened under the supervision of Miss Pope. In 1941, during the construction of a new, modern nurses’ home. Miss Pope resigned and Miss Glyde Gox became superintendent of nurses, while Miss Louise M. Reynolds assumed the responsibilities of hospital superintendent. In 1943, when Miss Gox resigned to enter the armed forces, she was replaced by Miss Gertrude Thomp¬ son. 1944 found Miss Thompson resigning to join the navy and Mrs. Anna Wood succeeding her. Another change came in 1945, when Mrs. Wood resigned. At this time the positions of Hospital Superintendent and Superintendent of Nurses was combined and Miss Reynolds was appointed to the position. She is, at the present time, serving in that capacity. Today a modern, well-equipped hospital, serving employees of the Railway Gom- pany, their families, and private patients from the local community, has the approval of the American Gollegc of Surgeons and is one of the hrst one-hundred bed hospitals in Virginia to be completely approved by the American Medical Association. It ' s present bed capacity is one hundred seventy. 1 25 } 1930 1919 Mrs. Marion Spinner Thurber Mrs. Lottie Henderson Cary Miss Mollie Hundley 1920 Miss Leila G. Payne Mrs. Lola B.
