Prom the beginning, when we first met, we found wonderful companionships among thirty girls. We enjoyed being to- gether and when chances came for some of us to go home on weekends, they were passed by because the weekends were as exciting as the weekdays, and we didn't want to miss any fun. We had no big parties to go to, or big weekend society events to attend, but because we found entertainment in our own way, we were able to really enjoy ourselves. It was September 7, l954, when we first entered Concord Hospital, a little fearful, excited, happy, and already a little homesick. A Tea was given that afternoon, and we met our new instructors, and some saw their Big Sisters . We were a quiet group, until that evening when we gathered to- gether again in the living room. This was the beginning of new friendships for all of us. Our first week was a maze! Up bright and early and for- ward to breakfast, everyone. Classes commenced, and we began to wonder,-- is this a profession? Study hours? But then we had the picnic at Dr. Tracy's to look forward too-- but, alas,--hurricane Carol confronted us with no picnic, no overnights, and thirty lonely girls! ! Carol was nice enough not to bring her sister around the following week, so over to Dr. Tracy's home we went. The transportation was provided by the faculty members, and a great time was had by all, enjoying basketball and other sports, also hikes for nature lovers, and just about everything you'd want. The food was delicious, and we later returned to the nurses home, ready for bed! The pre-clinical period held us intent with many studies. In Nursing Arts we wanted and tried to do our best, as this was our practice, before we actually went on the wards to care for sick patients. We started on the simple procedure of p.m. cares, then on tothe more difficult techniques such medications, especially the administration of injections. In our practice of preparing and giving hypos, it was found easier to receive an injection, than to give one, for we , if practiced on each other! Everyone got a sting out of it not more, because sterile water proved quite stimulating. Evenings were quite lively, and where there was a group, there was usually conspiracy. 8,8 The art of short-sheeting beds was practiced freely, and in one particular case, a little 'll 5 1. , www! wmwm W f J, , fm- f z ,, , W fi 2 , ji 5, ,, ,.,.

Disrupted rooms, soap powder in beds, jinxed alarm clocks, races thru doors without first opening them, stories of prowl- ers, and rather ordinary things, no one would ever think of-- these things kept us busy. Our instructors that year were Miss Greene, Mrs. McCom- ish, Mrs. Buxton, Mrs. Grossman, Miss Pierce, and Mrs. Houle. Experiments were triedg nearly every class in chemistry culturing a great variety of substances with fairly good re- sults and terrific odors. In Micro, we began to see the bugs that surround us, and for a while, we were exceedingly germ- conscious. The more we learned of bones the more intelli- gent we grew, until we began to leam all the muscles. Then we slowly forgot what we first learned. Nutrition was aprof- itable class because we were able to eat what we made. In some cases, this wasn't so good. We had heard rumors to the effect that our initiation was in the making, but that couldn't be--already months had passed--but, we were sadly mistaken. It was held one even- ing after a wonderful picnic was enjoyed in our back yard of the M.P. Nurses home. Most of us had never seen such a mess of cooked oatmeal, spaghetti, and heaven knows what else. More antics, more laughs and many ideas for those new kids, next year, when our turn came, , We worked for six months to get a cap. We were sorry to lose two of our classmates before capping, Joanna Scott, and Lorraine Fredette. We had a glee club, comprised mostly of our class except for the few upperclassmen who could get the time off. We then, began to work on wards which was more frightening to think of than actually do. We learned the Florence Nightingale Pledge, for the night we had long awaited, to become full fledged freshmen. And when the evening arrived, we were very proud indeed! Soon after capping we were minus another classmate, Pat Whalen. The classes lessened somewhat, but the ward work became more prominent. Miss Manville and many of the doctors gave us lectures in Medicine, Surgery, and Pathology. Nursing became more complicated, but interesting. Summertime brought the end of classes and a few more classmates left us. We were sorry to see Ioan Parent, Terry Pollini, Shirley Witham, and Rachel Snow leave, but hoped their future would hold in SIOIG, success in another occupa- 1 is . 1 Wg. 4 v 1 I I , f' .gy .jf ,,,,.:,,V,.w H ' 9,53 .im,,:fu,.'.. . ff was if ,f 5 -kiywyfaf I N 2 ,M J, A ww , y rpg?
