Gfass CHislora June 10, 1962, saw a combination of mass confusion, excitement, and loneliness as twenty-eight girls entered the doors of the C. O. Nurse’s Home and also the doors to Professional Nursing. Introductions of roommates, instructors, housemothers, junior and senior students, and other hospi- tal personnel was made our first day. The following day we were loaded down with books and started our long seige of study hours. Now for the roll call! Virginians; Lucy, Judy, and Barbara; Tennessee; Suzy; Kentucky; Clara; Ohio; Mary Ann; and West Virginia; the remainder of the class. Total . . . 28. During our first month at C. O. Barbara Lilly withdrew from our class due to illness. The re¬ maining young ladies continued to study Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry, and Microbology under Professor Steven C. Bosckey during the summer months. This routine was broken by the back yard picnics on Wednesdays, sunbathing and swimming at Douthout State Park, walking to town in the sweltering sun, and yacking sessions after supper with Mr. B. in the backyard. September found all away on vacation. Upon returning we once again found ourselves lost in the midst of books plus the beginning of practice. By the middle of October we were dressed in uni¬ forms and shiny white shoes, and carried scissors, pens, and paper in our pockets. On December 9, 1962, twenty-six proud pre-clinicals were capped Freshmen at the local YMCA. The annual Holly Ball didn ' t find many of our Freshmen out that year. Again classes, witn a break for Christmas, until May 1963. Special courses begin with the receiving of the Junior Strips. One group packed their bags and biding us adieu set out for SHSH aboard our wonderful friend Chessie. The trek of evening duty begin for some and in July OR experiences began. Boy was that air con¬ ditioner a life saver! ! ! As the cycle continues -- Diet Kitchen, Evening and night duty, OR, charge duty, OPD, and then to U. Va. We’ll never tell what happened there! Senior strips were received with great glee. Twelve more months till graduation . A review of the class is now in order; eight married students, eight single students, making a total of sixteen in all. A few activities of the past couple years show that Brenda joined the Army and the representatives to State Convention in 1963 was Suzy, and in 1964--Brenda. Representatives to Na¬ tional Convention 1963 was Tommie, and in 1964—Janie and Nancy. Janie was chosen Miss Student Nurse of District 5 for 1964-65. The C. O. Student Organization was transferred to District 6 in October 1964. Joan was chosen Holly Ball Queen with Martha serving as Princess. March 1965, found us wishing the mail train had been robbed-- Comprehensives aren’t any fun, ya know! 30,000 review questions plus tests, plus reading--IT CAN’T BE DONE! OH, BUT IT WAS DONE! ! ! ! May found us all working hard to complete everything before the final rush week. The Annual staff was skittering here and there getting the last minute pictures. The President and Secretary-treas¬ urer was getting reports and business matters straightened out. We were busy thinking of the Senior Banquet and dance in June. HURRAY! ! Classes are finished. Baccalaureate is tonight at the Presbyterian Church and Gradua¬ tion exercises tomorrow night at the Clifton Forge High School followed by a reception at the Hos¬ pital o What next? Twelve young ladies will be Graduate Nurses and will be looking forward to the taking of State Registration Boards on the 25 and 26 of June. The remaining four will remain at C. O. for a short time to complete their work and will write the State Board late in September. Let us move forward for a period of one year and reminiscent. Sixteen new graduates from the Chesapeake and Ohio Hospital School of Nursing will be remembering all of the above plus the many experiences which we enjoyed as students. We will be remembering the study hours, the peanut- butter and jelly sandwiches, loud music, telephone calls, staying up all hours of the night, gossip¬ ing, the wonderful sound of Chessie whizzing by, and the coal cars clanging together. This and many, many more experiences come to mind and we also think of those who helped us to make our dreams come true. And most of all we think of one another and how each one of our classmates gave us something to think about and work for during periods when we thought we just couldn’t go on. 18
