There is so. much we could say but somehow words seem trite when it comes to expressing our gratitude for all you have done for us in the past three years, The examples you have set, the understanding, patience and wisdom you have given, the way you have stood by us all during our three years of training, and the friend you have been to each and every one of us. We can think of no other way to ex- press our appreciation than to dedicate this book in remembrance of the past three years as a small token of our thanks.

Will you ever forget our first night of relief, or our first night of nights: you worked them too. You have always been with us in all the firsts we've experienced. There was the patient in 106, you knew him as well as I. When things were toughest and we could see no way through we could always find the way home. Home, where you always helped us find the way back to what only parents have the wisdom to see beyond the tiny hill which seemed like a mountain to us. There is no unity or bond that ties a girl so close to her family as that of training. Yet this bond is much deeper than love alone. It seems to constitute a unique under- standing, a deep respect for each others needs, an ever mounting faith and devotion for that which God alone does rule. Even as mature young women, about to venture out into this world of opportunity, we shall always remember your words of wisdom and experience - You will never know as much as you know today, my child, and in our hearts we will ever harbor over- powering love and devotion for the two in our lives who have made our education that much more important. In tribute from, Your Loving Daughter.

Eddie My Love Pixie of the class - that's our Mare. If anyone needs a lesson in how to fix flat tires Mary is the one to see. A perfect hostess in every way. which is it, Mare, a boat or a ship?

Happy go lucky Beryl can be found in the kitchen or asleep in bed. Remember study hours and those numerous alarm clocks! A joke with every coke, a lover of nature, possessor of the wanderlust. Such a light heart has made Berl an essential part of the class of '59. No Other Love rvKayll JOAN PRISCILLA BOURGAULT 5 Glendale Terrace Jamaica Plain, Mass, The mind is not the heart. Silence is oftimes golden, is our description of Joanre Only one so petite could live in room 64. l'm smiling now is what we hear most often. With a heart so full of gold and a friendliness so true surely only the good can be awaiting Joanie. Beryl KATHERINE RHODA CHADWELL 96 Stetson Avenue Swampscott, Mass. February 21, 1938 With innocence of song and childish chat. - From long to short hair hasn't changed Kay a bit to us Through the ups and downs she has always managed to keep her head above sea level. A true conversationalist, an ardent TV fan. Always ready for fun, that's our Kay. A truly fine-mixer with a contagious laugh will more than aid Kay in all her future endeavors. It's Just a Matter Of Time' I A NICE MURIEL COTILLO 368 South Street Portsmouth, New Hampshire I will omit no opportunity. Sugar and spice, everything nice, is our little queen from New Hampshire. Hi, kids, what are you doing? It's hard to believe so much energy and spirit could be in one sole in- dividual. New Hampshire has much to gain from this little one. Our hearts go out to such a warm and genuine girl, Love is a Many Splendored Thing SYLVIA ANN CROPPER 'Jann 121 Leighton Road Hyde Park, Mass. May 27, 1939 She must ever be advancing some new prank, and laughing and dancing. Bless you all, will ring through the corridors of Chapin House for years to come.

Wedding chimes after graduation will be the beginning of a long happy life for Barbie and Danny. Until The 12th Of Never Barbie JOAN MARIE LESSARD 5 Hillside Street Winthrop, Mass. October 18, 1938 Love is a smoke raised with the fumes of sighs. You'll never guess, you'll just never guess, echoes the corridors in joyful squeals.

September 20, 1928 Gifted, loved and praised. . . One of our best loved seniors, Glo is a transfer student whose real love of people and nursing has made her an asset to the class. Never an unkind word or thought from Gloria.

September 22, 1938 A something quiet and subdued. . . Sandy, have you had any blind dates lately: Neatness personified - top drawer, left hand side, in the corner. On a constant campaign to gain weight our gal is bound to lose. A few words with much wisdom comes from Sandy. Her quiet ways leave us with much to admire.

' Not a care in the world, happy from day to day. Terry is at home in Canada or at Pops. That beautiful new car may take her many miles away but her laughter will remain with us through the years. To Know Him Is To Love Him Which Miller are you, F. , S. , or J. ? Once distinguished, never forgotten. Did you ever get to see that little house in back of Silkie's? Complexion of moonglow, a bundle of gleam, best describes the memories of our Freddie we will carry through the years to come. Joannie True Love Freddy JOAN FRANCES MILLER 599 River Street Haverhill, Mass. March 24, 1938 Sweet little face, so full of slumber. . . Good things come in small packages is a familiar phrase but oh, so true when it comes to describing Joanie. I just have to have my sleep, is what we often hear. From '56 to '59 our Ioan has remained the same. Her impish expression has us all wondering what she'l1 do next. Joan's sincerity and understanding ways will go down in the history of our minds as a true example of young womanhood. Somewhere Over the Rainbow SHIRLEY LORRAINE MILLER ROBERTS 32 Channing Street Quincy, Mass. June 25, 1937 There is a singer everyone has heard. Where there's a guitar there's Shirl. Many's the night our gal has spent entertaining us with her hillbilly roll. If not at work then she can be found with Ken. Another May bride we add to the list. ,Earth doesn't provide enough good forShirl to do. With such fortitude and strength and the will to strive forward she cannot help but come out on top.

' Seriously though, is the byword and actually, follows as a close second. Pratt has been an active member in our class and student government for the past three years. What about those platonic relationships? Anyone for coffee, is the password. One of the many mothers in our class Caroline is always ready with a sympathetic ear.

Drifting and Dreaming Il vw NANCY MAE ROBAR 501 W. Washington Street Hansen, Mass. June 6, 1935 So brave she was, and good, in worth of womanhood. No other feet could fill her shoes. As cute as a button, a way all her own best describes our senior class president. He bought me a present, can often be heard. A willing worker, a steadfast friend has made Nancy a most loved member of our class. A career man, Nance? Only You Nance JUDITH ANNE SLACK Edgartown, Mass. August 29, 1938 One level higher than the earth below, What a lucky girl. How many of us get a dozen roses, rec- ords by the ton, and a diamond, all from the same handsome fellow. Martha's Vineyard - is her home. How's that ferry ' running, Jud? Wedding bells will be ringing soon after grad- uation and we wish Judy and Ken every happiness. Now and for Always lvludyn CAROL SNYDER 84 Vine Street Reading, Mass. July 14, 1938 A peaceful life just toil and rest. With a twinkle in her eyes and a song on her lips, Snyde has provided us with many a laugh. Have you done any ap- pendectomies lately? A search party arises when Carol can't be found. In her jovial manner and carefree way Carol will long ring through the years of all our minds. Love Is a Many Splendored Thing usullyn IANICE EMERSON TOHER 36 Blake Street Newtonville, Mass.

' Sully, our female casanova has kept many of us on pins and needles waiting for the final blow to a fantastic story. Never a dull moment with Pat around. Her conversational ability has no takers in competition. Samba, Tango, or Rumba, anyone? With her overwhelming wit and power to excel we are sure she will have no trouble in the years to come. Accentuate the Positive Hi, there is a familiar phrase from Ian on her way in or out. Toher seems to be always on the go. The meeting will now come to order As president of Student Association she was outstanding. Dream Jan's poise and graciousness will carry her far on the ladder of success. H W . ,, . ulanll H 611155 On September 5, 1956, almost three years to date Forty youngsters entered Chapin to learn their fate. There were tall ones, short ones, skinny ones and plump ones Page boys, feather cuts, pixies and buns. T Each however looked the same in the face, With eyes which asked, Is this to be my base? Big sisters smiled in a knowing way, For only they knew the price that we must pay. Then all of a sudden it seemed all were gone. Alone each felt: Moms and Dads had drifted along. To our rooms we were shown with enough luggage to choke a horse, Of which clothes, stuffed animals, and food were the source. Unpacked we did in a hesitant way, asking ourselves how we ever got here For in all our plans for our chbsen career we forgot to include Mom and Dad wouldn't be near. To supper we traveled like a herd of starved cattle Engaging in what is known as girl's idle prattle. A talent show was our next new endeavor. We found that our class was really quite clever. Duckwalking, bedstripping, bowing to upperclassmen Was all a part of initiation from them. Our first night at Chapin we'll never forget, Not a one of us slept: This you can bet. Next morning at 6:30 we all did arise, Our career had begun is what we surmised. The classroom awaited with books to be read All those in six months?, is what we then said. All those and then some, came the voice of our leader, Mrs. Martin of course, this is how we did meet her. Introductions to courses, for now we must work We had a job that we just couldn't shirk. For the next six months oh how we did study For hours at night, alone in a group or with a buddy. Then came finals just before capping p. Hi tory Q fi w Not much time could be found for napping. How we would pass them we weren't quite sure. It seemed to be more then we could endure. But passed them we did and to our surprise Up the aisle of capping we did rise. With blessings from our parents and friends We received our caps to tie up loose ends. Two weeks vacation was upon us at last. As soon as it started it seemed it had passed. Back to classes and work we did march, With bibs and caps which were really quite starched. The next six months was spent mostly on days, with relief and nights next to come our way. The D. K. , O. R. and Obs were the following stops With affiliations in sight to be our future hops. From a plain white cap to two wing bands we flew In the fall of 57 with thirty two as our crew. To C. H. and Worchester with a trunk load of ownings From many were heard anxiety moanings. Peter Bent Brigham for only six weeks Gave us the chance to do nursing at its peak. With two and a half years stacked up behind us There were six months left to fly by like dust. Senior classes began, six weeks to a section And along with all this came senior election. Vacations began and weddings of classmates While others began their setting of dates. A shower was given for those being married All of us there and oh how we tarried. The summer flew by with only weeks 'til graduation That day we'll remember 'til the end of creation. Our mission accomplished, our goal now attained, The memories of training, our standards maintained. The joys and hardships we've gone through together Will be with usalways 'til the day before never. So to Faulkner we hail for three years of living Where we learned in this world there's more joy in giving April 17, 1969 214Ocean Drive Honolulu, Hawaii Miss Sylvia Cropper Director of Nurses Faulkner Hospital, Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts Dear Silkie, In response to your recent request to locate the various members of the class of 1959 for our ten year progress report I decided to take a trip around the world in thirty-one days. I never dreamed I'd be able to locate so many in such a short space of time. The variety of occupations was astounding! Starting out from Hawaii on a Friday morn- ing for Alaska, I found Ioan Lessard as a stewardess, on the very plane I was boarding. She looked terrific with the navy blue uniform and beautiful California tan. Upon ar- rival in Alaska I was greeted by Carol Snyder who is doing pediatrics for the ice-bound Eskimos. We had a dinner of blubber and polar bear meat. Think I'l1 stick to steak, thank you. From Alaska I proceeded down to San Francisco where I found Kay Chad- well, R.N. , B.S. , M.D. , head of the Golden Gate Anesthesia Department. Kay is lov- ing every minute of it. From California I went to New Mexico by train, and much to my surprise I ran into Gloria Litchford who is now teaching Nursing Arts to the young Mexicans, Traveling up the map a bit 1 stopped over in Arizona to see Judy Mitchell who is now a school nurse in a bustling ranch community. Indy has to improvise quite a bit but after our home nursing course it is quite easy, she says. In Louisiana I found Caroline Pratt doing psychiatric nursing in Louisiana State Sanitorium. She is planning to enter some of her patients in the Mardi Gras festivities this year to show the progress being made. Down in Panama I came across Dottie Lord and Nancy Robar with their husbands basking in the sun and giving L,P,N, 's course in English. Down Cuba way I found Jody Hadley as private scrub nurse for Fidel Castro. On a stop over in Bermuda I had dinner' with Sandi Hutchings, R.N. , who is now head of all public health on the island. It's a big assignment but Hutch is doing a great job. From the sunny shores of fan- tastic Bermuda I boarded an ocean liner for Europe. Much to my amusement I found Elaine Harhen on her way to Paris for her long awaited vacation. We had a great chance to reminisce. We arrived in England just a few hours later. These jet propelled liners 6111 Przfphecy are fabulous for people who want to rake a long trip in a short period of time. England led us to Betty Ballas Daleys' house. Betty is head of the welfare department of the Commonwealth of England. Up in Ireland I saw those two smiling eyes of Jean Riley, who is now a missionary nurse, Jean loves the work and the people all love Jean. While passing through Sweden I found Judy Slack, Night Supervisor in the Kings' Hospital. Coming down to Germany, I looked up Joanie Miller, who is running a medical aid station for refugees. Stopping in on Pat Fleagal in Holland was perhaps the most amusing stop of all. Pat's latest endeavor is teaching the Dutch nurses how to tip-toe around the wards in their wooden shoes. Freddy Miller turned up in Sweden running a first aid station in the Alps. Freddy claims business is booming! I decided to jauut down to Monaco and guess -who I found -- Terry McQuade as governess to Princess Grace's child- ren by day and gambler by night. I guess you might say I splurged a little, but not in vain, by taking a cruise up the Mediterranean. I found Jan Toher now head nurse of research for the Esso Standard Oil Company. Of course, Silkie, I realize this letter should be and probably will be published somewhere, however, please exclude the next bit of information. Pat Kelleher is reported to be working behind the iron curtain. She is working for the U.S. Govemment on some secret mission, to do with W.H.O. Sandi Mann is working in China now with her husband, who is now a five star general for Uncle Sam. I visited Australia and found Jackie Keppler with her husband doing missionary work together. They plan to return to the states in 1985. Shirley Miller is doing con- stant care down in the Fiji Islands. The constant care is her family of seven. Guess that's enough to keep anyone constantly busy. I arrived back on the east coast only ten days ago. On stepping off the plane I decided to look up Beryl Brown who is head nurse on ward 28 at Childrens Hospital. Traveling back over the U. S. I stopped to see Ian Cotillo, now head of the A, N. A, and Mary Blanchard, Director of Nurses at New York University. Pat Sullivan was out delivering a baby when I reached Kentucky. Her secretary told me business had been flourishing this year. Barbie Leach is doing frontier nursing in Tennessee with her husband and four children. Last but far from least while waiting for my plane to take me back home I ran across Joanie Bourgault who is now editor of the A,J, N, and making headlines with all her stimulating edito- rials. Well, Silkie, I guess you might say mission accomplished, and all are well, making the headlines. I am signing off now, this Hawaiian sun is just scorching today. See you next May at the reunion.

Student nurses are found everywhere, underneath, on top of, run- ning around, jumping over, or slithering past patient's beds. Doctors yell at them, head nurses criticize them, interns tolerate them, resi- dents overlook them, and patients love them. A student nurse is courage under a cap, a smile in snowy white, strength in a starched skirt, energy that is endless, the best of young womanhood, a modern Florence Nightingale. Just when she is gain- ing prestige and poise, she drops a glass, breaks a syringe or steps on a doctor's foot. A student nurse is like a composite, she eats like a team of hun- gry interns and works like the whole nursing staff put together. She has the speed of a gazelle, the strength of an ox, the quickness of a cat, the endurance of a flagpole sitter, and the abilities of Florence Nightingale, Linda Richards, and Clara Barton rolled into one blue uniform. To the head nurse she has the stability of mush, the fleetness of a snail, the mentality of a mule and is held together by starch, ad- hesive tape and strained nerves. To an alumnae, she never will work hard, carry more trays, make more beds, or scrub on more operations than her predecessors. A student nurse likes days off, boys her own age, the O.R. , af- filiations, certain doctors, pretty clothes, her roommate, mom and dad. She is not much on working 3:30 -12, days off with classes, alarm clocks, getting up for roll call, or eating corned beef every Tuesday. No one else looks forward so much to days off or so little to working 3:30 -12 on week ends. No one else can get so much pleasure from straightening a wrinkled sheet, or wetting a pair of parched lips. No one else can cram into one little head the course of a disease, the bones composing the pelvis, what to do when a patient goes into shock, how to insert a Cantor tube fusually at 3 a.m.j plus the ten top tunes of the hit parade. A student nurse is a wonderful creature, you can criticize her, but you can't discourage her. You can hurt her feelings but you can't make her quit. Might as well admit it, whether you are a head nurse, doctor, alumnae, or a patient, she is your personal representative of the hospital, your living symbol of faith and loving care.
