SCHOOL NURSE Page Four VIRGINIA GORDON, R. N. Juniata College School of Nursing The Johns Hopkins Hospital Following the broadening concepts of the services of the school to the com- munity our system this year added to its staff a full time nurse. This service is shared with the schools of Antrim Township and our own lower grades. The increasing tendancy to utilize local talent for our staff was again carried out in the selection of 2 school nurse. Miss Virginia Gordon, our new nurse, has lived within a stone's throvi of our school practically all of her life. She was graduated from this school in 1937. During the next two years she attended Juni- ata College preparatory to entering the John Hopkins Hospital Training School for Nurses. While at Johns Hopkins Hospital Miss Gordon was staff nurse and later head nurse of the Obstetrical Department. When war came, Miss Gordon heeded her country's call to duty and served for twenty-seven months in the Army Nurse Corps. At various times she was stationed at Fort George C. Meade, Maryland, the 164th General Hospital near Cherbourg, France, and the Percy Jones General Hospital, Battle Creek, Michigan. After re- turning to civilian life she did industrial nursing with the Fairchild Corp. for a time. She then returned to Juniata College to complete another year's work. Miss Gordon's duties as school nurse are varied and interesting. Chief among these is the carrying out of the physical examinations of the school children and the following up of these examinations. She also encourages general good health habits with particular emphasis on dental care by making individual inspections and giving class room talks. At various times she is called upon to screen out communicable diseases and to administer first aid. When some nearby communities suffered slight diptheria epidemics, Miss Gordon secured vaccine and administered the voluntary in- noculation of many school and pre-school children. Her many other duties included helping with tuberculosis examinations, and giving psychological and special hearing tests. With all these activities Miss Gordon seems never too busy to give a kind word or a helping hand to any and all who come to her. Surely we are to be congratu- lated for having made such a valuable addition to our staff.

Page Six SlENllOR CLASS HISTORY is Suddenly coming to the end of our high school days, we look back over the past four years spent in our Alma Mater, with fond remembrances, and wondering at the brevity of those four years. On September 5, 1944, eighty-eight of us ambitious freshmen climbed the steps of G. H. S. for the first time. We were very confused and unexperienced with this new life, but before long we learned our way around and. the routine of high school life. After acquainting ourselves with one another we elected officers and par- ticipated in many activities. September 4, 1945, was the day we gave up the title of shy freshmen, and be- came energetic, proud, and confident sophomores. Most of our class was in the Sophomore Glee Club, and many were initiated into the Senior Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y or- ganizations. At Christ-mas, we had a party, exchanged gifts, sang songs, and happily wished everyone a Merry Christmas. The Class of 1948 entered G. H. S. again, on September 3, 1946, but Oh! with a different feeling, because we were then recognized as upper classmen, who were anxious and willing to take a large responsibility in the school activities. In October we began having the thrills of juniors: ordering rings, selecting motto, caps and pennants, song and colors fwe chose the words Betty Mae Kriner had written for our class songjf and last' but not least choosing a play. After a few weeks of debating and several months of practicing, we successfully presented the three act- comedy, Doctor's Orders, on April 17 and 18, under the direction of Mrs. Lehman. September 1947, we turned the last curve of our long road. Knowing this was our last year we were determined to make it our be.st year. After getting organ- ized we looked forward to another dramatic production. The play committee se.- lected Alice Chadwiche's A Woman Of Fifteen. Under the direction of Mrs. Leh- man, this play proved to be a great success. The play was presented on December 4 and 5. What a swell job our boys did in ushering for our play: it seems likeqan unusual custom, but it met with success. In November we decided to have our pic- tures taken at Mumper's Studios, in Chambersburg. Our entire class enjoyed a Christmas party in the gym. We are now looking forward to our last' Assembly Program and Commence- mentg although it saddens us to think we will be separated from our high school friends. . . Our boys and g'rls will long be remembered for their fine contributions in the field of sports, dramatics, and for their cooperation and leadership. We are proud that one of our classmates won 3350 for an essay written on Pennsylvania. As we enter the unconstructed road of the future with our well earned docu- ment which leads each one of us in a different direction, we will strive to make our world one of un-interrupted brotherhood, and peace.
