Text from Pages 1 - 56 of the 1962 volume:

burke county PUBLIC LIBRARY The Silver Cross has long been the traditional symbol of the Grace Hospital School of Nursing. To us it represents loyalty and high principles of conduct and service. May this tenth volume of the Silver Cross serve as a reminder of the noble qualities of this sym- bol and a source of cherished school memories. T ecucaiion We, the Senior Class, dedicate this 1962 Silver Cross to Miss Berryhill .... our friend and our example. We esteem her for her character and leadership: we admire her for her patience and understanding; we honor her for her truly dedicated service to her profession; and we thank her for her inspiration. 5 Our ScJioof Jiisiort In 1906 a small hospital having seventeen beds was opened for patients inMorganton, North Carolina. It was called Grace in hon- or of a daughter who was lost by the hospital’s founder and his wife, Rev. and Mr. Walter Hughson. Four years later The Grace Hospital School of Nursing was estab- lished and Miss Maria P. Allen, R,N., graduate of Protestant Mission Hospital in Philadelphia, was the first Director of Nurses. The first graduating class consisted of one member. Miss Lola Wilson, who remained with Grace Hospital for several years and was instru- mental in or- ganizing the Alum- nae Associ- ' ation in 1921. Sincethe Schoolof Nursing has been in existence there have been approximately 325 graduates who have filled posi- tions ofresponsibility inall nursing fields. Two years ago the Schoolof Nursing began an affiliating program with Lenoir-Rhyne College in Hickory, North Carolina, thus changing the status from a diploma to a collegiate level. Grace Hospital Schoolof Nursing is an accredited school. Its graduates are eligible for examination by the North Carolina State Board of Nurse Registration and Nursing Education and for registration by reciprocity in nearly all of the other states in the U.S. The founders of our hospital and our school left a great heritage and throughout the years many persons have rendered dedicated service to support these high ideals. Realizing the value of these contributions now and their significance for us in the future, we wish to recognize Administration for their sincere interest and weariless efforts to promote these standards.

To higher levels rise. The tidal wave of deeper souls Into our inmost being rolls. And lifts us unaware Out of all meaner cares. Honor to those whose words or deed Thus help us in our daily needs. And by their overflow Raise us from what is low! Thus thought I, as by night I read Of the great army of the dead. The trenches cold and damp. The starved and frozen camp. The wounded from the battle-plain In dreary hospitals of pain. The cheerless corridors. The cold and stony floors. Lo! in that house of misery A lady with a lamp I see Pass through the glimmering gloom. And flit from room to room. And slow, as in a dream of bliss The speechless sufferers turns to kiss Her shadow, as it falls Upon the darkening walls. As if a door in heaven should be Opened and then closed suddenly. The vision came and went. The light shown and was spent. On England’s annals, through the long Hereafter of her speech and song. That light its rays shall cast From portals of the past. A lady with a lamp shall stand In the great history of the land. A noble type of good. Heroic womanhood. Nor even shall be wanting here The palm, the lily and the spear. The symbols that of yore Saint Filomena bore.

And that which is neither deed nor reflection, but a wonder and a surprise ever spring- ing in the soul, even while the hands hew the stone or tend the loom? Who can separate his faith from his actions, or his belief from his occupations? Who can spread his hours before him, say- ing, This for God and this for myself; This for my soul, and this other for my body?” Your daily life is your temple and your re- ligion. Whenever you enter into it take with you your all. Take the plough and the forge and the mallet and the lute. The things you have fashioned in necessity or for delight. For in revery you cannot rise above your achievements nor fall lower than your failures. And take with you all men: For in adoration you cannot fly higher than their hopes nor humble yourself lower than their despair.

The dignified lady you see leaving the ship is none other than Gail D, returning from her annual inspection tour of Europe with hubby and poodles. Jeannie sure enough married an FBI agent and is cleverly stealing his fame solving internationa l sabotage secrets. Janice, it seems, gave up nurs- ing for the domestic life. She is Executive Chief Cook and Bottle Washer for husband and eleven kids. Loretta finally hit the jack-pot. Shethrew awayher rags to become a wealthy educator of theOld Maid Honorary Society and is presently engaged in her much-loved hobby, bird-watching. Becky, now list- ed as one of the ten Most Outstanding women in the U. S., accepts mildly her recognition as pioneer in nursing. Anne, who recently returned from the Indian Reservation, is presenting her views and problems to Congress. Shirley has certainly gained fame for her undying efforts to reconstruct the swamp-lands of our country into the ideal playground for all the neglected children. Gail Y. recently obtained government approval to nurse in the foreign countries caring for all their richest rulers. Hazel, we hear, is working diligently in the jungles of Africa performing miraculous surgery on the nativ- es with only the crudest of instruments and equip- ment . . . . L.
