POINT MEMORIAL HOSPITAL On April 1, 1942, Mrs. McCaskill (Miss Gilbert Muse) who had endeared herself during thirty years of faithful, efficient, and consecrated service with the hospital and the community, was succeeded by Mr. J. P. Richardson, who was given the title of Administrator of the Hos- pital. He secured Miss Evelyn Heath as Superintendent of Nurses. Nineteen hundred forty three brought a number of changes to the hospital. In July, Miss Heath resigned and was succeeded by Mrs. E. Irby Long. The section of the hospital known as Green Hall was set up as an obstetrical department. An affiliation in Pediatrics with Children’s Hospital, Washington, D. C., was arranged. The accomplishment of these two steps did much to improve the nursing service and the standards of the school. In this war year, the hospital, under the guidance of Mrs. Long, made application to partici- pate in the United States Cadet Nurse Corps; the application was accepted. In 1943, the trustees began a campaign to raise funds for a new hospital. About $600,000. has been deposited in this fund. Nineteen hundred and forty-three saw the consolidation of all hospital facilities in High Point under one government. ‘This was done because the trustees realized that concerted effort and support would be required to successfully undertake the responsibility of providing a new hospital for the city. Mr. Richardson was made director of the combined hospital and Mr. W. R. Peters was named business manager. In June, 1944, Mr. Peters became Director of the hospital, succeeding Mr. Richardson. A new school building with a lecture room, Nursing Arts Demonstration room, and Diet Lab. was opened in November, 1944. In September, 1945, the school added to its staff an Educational Director, Mrs. Joseph Hawkins, R.N., A.B., and Mrs. Edith Moore Sherrod remained as Nursing Arts Instructor. Mrs. Long resigned October 31, 1945. Mrs. Hawkins served as Director of Education and Superinten- dent of Nurses until Mrs. Robert Johnston, R.N., was secured for the latter position. Mrs. Johnston was succeeded by Miss Rachel Hill Smith, the present superintendent, on April 22, 1946. In November, 1946, a new delivery room, adjoining Green Hall, was begun. At this time the addition is incomplete. At the annual meeting of the board of trustees in December, 1946, Dr. K. B. Geddie suc- ceeded Dr. J. E. Slate as Chief of Staff. The hospital and school are looking forward to a future of service and growth.
