With loyalty will I endeavor to aid the physicianin his work, and devote myselfto the welfare of those committed to my care. DEDICATION She has givenusa finer appreciation of our stu- dent days. ; For her unswerving loyalty and devotion to her profession and to each individual; for her willing co-operation; for her great wealth of patience and helpfulness; andfor her rich quality of understand- ing--we,the senior class of 1954, proudly dedicate this 1954 Caduceus to Miss Anna E. Shupp, our Di- rector and Instructor. Hospital School Siait [ Junior Class Admiaistration | Freshmen Class i FOREWORD Within the narrow confines of the books within this yearbook, an attempt has been made to hit the high spots of the years 1951-1954 and to highlight those things that spell to each of us ''Student Nurse . By the term ''book ' inthe copyright law (of the United States) is understood a literary composition. Books are classified as fiction and non-fiction. In the non-fiction group we find certain classes of books which appeal only to students of some particular branch of science or of art or of literature. These are books of enduring value. In the fiction group we find a vast output of books which merely amuse an idle hour. '!A good book is the precious life blood of a master spirit, embalmed andtreasuredupon purpose to a life beyond life - so said, Milton. Certainly our future is based on the past, and books are our best means of revealing to us the past. The composition of this bookhas called for labor and qualities of patience, loyalty, and devotion from everyone concerned; but it was all done in love be- cause it was for you. May weall value this yearbook as a priceless possession as a reminder of the happy moments spent as a ''Student Nurse''. To you and to ourselves, we present the ''Caduceus 1954 .

She is awarded Senior Privileges. The three-months' affiliationto Washington, D. C. for pediatrics and the three-months' affiliation to Philadelphia, Pa. for psychiatry offer social activities as well as new and interesting educational programs. The yearbook Caduceus is the most outstanding senior project. To the freshman, the junior and the senior it acts as an echo of the past year or years as a student nurse. Each High Point Memorial Hospital School of Nursing 1954 senior will never forget her day of entrance, Sunday, September 16, 1951. Her nursing course terminates three years from the entrance date. Graduation is a memorable event. The senior student nurse is now a Graduate Nurse. Within another month she will be a Registered Nurse,” after she passes the state board examination. 38 SENIORS MARY VIVIAN ADDERTON She'sa girl who will get farther than first base High Point, N. C.

Witnessed and Signed Audrey G. Thomas PROPHECY I died while waiting for the busto go to Raleigh to take State Board Examina- tion. Ten years later I floated on a little white cloud over High Point. I looked down to seeif I could see any of the Angels of Mercy who had been in school with me. Vivian Adderton, I could see, was feeding three hungry mouths who had just returned home from school, while two others looked on. Mary Welbornwas holding down a fine position in High Point as the mother of three, Louise Durham seemed to be very happy with her new job as Superintendent of High Point Mem orial Hospital. Wanda Ling had just received her discharge from the Navy Nurse Corps and was starting to work in Dr. Groome's office. Jean Cassidy was now working 3-11 as supervisor on fourth floor. Faye Meadows was working 7-3 on sixth floor and devoting her afternoons to her husband and children. There was Betty Bunn still in High Point working on post partum in the morn- ings and housekeeping in the evenings. Mary Faith Willard was happy to give up her nursing career and take a job as wife and mother. I drifted on, on my little white cloud, picking my harp to Mount Airy. There I saw Nita Sue Carico, who was doing private duty and acting as house-keeper Porc. W. As I floatedona little further, I saw Peggy Owens at North Wilksboro, super- vising the operating room. A little breeze seemed to guide me along the path where I could see my other friends. At SophialI saw Evelyn Beeson who no longer has time for nursing, now that she and her family have moved to their new farm. Elma Gray Clark had gone back to Mebane and was doing wonderful work as Public Health Nurse. Nancy Snyder hadlesstimeto spend with Clarence, now that she has to divide her time with four others - her children. Dixie Green had found the one man and settled down in Candor to raise a family. Mary Alice Snow, was happy on the farm in Mount Ulla with Jim and five children - all boys. As I passed over Siler City I saw Alice Watts who was no longer working 3-11, now that she's the supervisor in the Obstetrical Department. As I floated over Raleigh, Ispotted Audrey Thomas, who was now on the State ° Board of Nurses Examiners, working on the new examination. Valli Hillhad gone backto Laurinburg where she is working with Pediatrics-- her own. Iharped my way to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where Isaw Ruby Hatcher working at Friends Hospital. Then the wind began to blow and blew me, Evelyn Fender, back from earth. 49 —I GOD MADE A NURSE To be a nurse is to walk with God, Along the path that our Master trod; To sooth the achings of human pain; To faithfully serve for little gain; To lovingly do the kindly deed-- A cup of water to one in need, A tender hand on a fevered brow, A word of cheer to these living now; To reach the soul through its body woe. Ah! This is the way that Jesus would go. Oh, white capped nurses in dresses of white, Our Great Physician is working through you! God made a nurse! He made her heart true, brave and kind, And like the mountain streams her mind Is crystal clear, yet swift and deep As where its waters rush and sweep. He made her hands strong, tender, skilled; Their touch with His own pity filled, And gave to make his nurse complete A sense of humor, wholesome, sweet. God made a nurse.

THE JUNIOR STUDENT NURSE The junior year is filled with added excitement as well as added responsibili- ties. Of course, the black corner stripe is a priceless piece of ribbon. The advanced classes supply her with extensive knowledge. The classes in- volve nursing in: communicable diseases, orthopedics, gynecology, urology, eye- ear -nose-throat conditions, obstetrics, and emergency. Because class hours are lessened, more time is spent on duty. Charge duty gives her a feeling of accomplishment. The services in surgery, obstetrics, nursery, and diet therapy highlight this intermediate year. She is constantly striving for a higher and better classification--''Senior . 52 JUNIORS Peggy Cagle Mary Ruth Coble Hilda Dennis Elsie Mae Dills Doris Ann Hicks Peggy Kennedy 53 Donzy Kiser Rachel Neese Margaret Poe Mary Sue Rayle Ann Snyder Virginia Summers Faye Taylor Betty Ward 54 f eeiggeiaga ie ¥ i Freshman Class Officers left to right: Barbara Thomas, Vice President; Barbara Marshall, President; Nancy Watson, Social Chairman; Darlene Farrington, Secretary and Treasurer. THE FRESHMAN STUDENT NURSE The accomplishment of any worthwhile task requires faultless and extensive preparation. This type of preparation necessitates nightly study hours. The Freshman Student Nurse finds anatomy and physiology, microbiology, chemistry, pharmacology, psychology, andnursing arts difficult but very interesting, indeed. On the hall, she is closely supervised and receives commendation or correction of her work there. The rewardfor all this studying arrives six months from the date of her entrance when she receives her cap. Now, she is better able to comprehend diet therapy, sociology, pathology, nursing in medical and surgical diseases, and anesthesiology. The class in op- erating roomtechnique prepares her for duty in the operating room in her junior year. Yes, she will soon be a ''Junior . 56 FRESHMEN Lou Ann Daw Lou Annice Dodson KEN Darlene Farrington 57 Rebecca Mitchell Betty Sue Neese Frances Scearce 58 HOSPITAL GUILD Of inestimable importance to the hospital and its School of Nursing is the Women's Hospital Guild of about 70 members.

The planning, organizing, and editing of this yearbook required concentration, time, and patience from our advisor, Mrs. Ethelyn Juska. Many thanks for a job well done. The wholly unexplored tomorrow lies ahead. In faith we shall go forward a day at a time, realizing that God does not require us to know beforehand allthat is to be and confident that he will guide and provide for us. 66 HISTORY OF THE HIGH POINT HOSPITAL SCHOOL OF NURSING The High Point Hospital school of Nursing had its beginningin the Junior Or- der Hospital which was established here in 1904. This hospital has changed owner- ship more than once since that time, but the nursing school has always remained a part of it. Miss Josephine Coleman, R.N., later Mrs. R. C. Soyars, a graduate of St. Andrews Home, Lynchburg, Va., was the first Superintendent of Nurses. In the first days of the hospital she and the physicians who worked there were eager to get nurses with some experience, if possible; and through the influence of one of the physicians, three nurses who had already had one and a half to two years of training were brought to High Point from a Sanford Hospital. They were: Miss Bessie Wicker, a Miss Dearman, and Mrs. Josephine Bynum McCraney. When they had completed the three years they received a diploma from the Junior Or- der Hospital, tookthe State Board Examinations, and became Registered Nurses. As time wentalong the hospitalwas able to employ another graduate nurse in addition to the superintendent of nurses; and thesetwo, with the help of the physi- cians who worked in the hospital, conducted the training school, as it was then called. The nurses often had to work a long day and attend classes in the evening. Often they were called back for emergencies at night. The following subjects were included in the curriculum: Anatomy and Physi- ology, Materia Medica, Obstetrical Nursing, Surgical and Medical Nursing, Ethics of Nursing and Operating Room Technique. Nursing Arts was then kriown as Practical Nursing and most of that was taught at the bedside. We are told by these early nurses that the physicians did considerable teaching at the bedside and the teamwork in the hospital was much like that of a big family. In fact, the poeple in the community looked on those doctors, nurses, and patients in the large frame house as their neighbors; and one who still lives nearby, Mrs. S. A. Brown, relates that often they borrowed such supplies as coffee and flour from each other. In 1912 when the Junior Order Hospital was sold to Dr. John T. Burrus and Dr. Guy F. Duncan, Mrs. Josephine B. McCraney became Superintendent of nurses. Classes were not admitted ata definite time for several years; but, as one nurse graduated, another was taken in to replace her. As the hospital expanded more nurses were takenineach year; but, since records were not considered im- portant, or perhaps tootime consuming, we have no way of knowing just how many were graduated during the first five or six years after Drs. Burrus and Duncan had taken over the hospital. We do know, however, that the school steadily im- provedandalways met the requirements set up by the State Board of Examiners. In order to meet these standards, the curriculum has been increased tremendously through the years, the working hours decreased, and the living conditions made more pleasant. In 1927 Miss Hazel Johnson, a graduate of the Nursing School, became the first instructor; and she, with the cooperation of the physicians, began a more comprehensive educational program than ever before. This has progressed through the years until at the present time a Director of Nursing Education and two full-time instructors are employedin addition to the doctors and other mem- bers of the staff who assist with the teaching. 67 Mrs. Mollie Moxley Hayworth, anearly graduate of this school, has an in- teresting story to tell about the origin of our hospital pin. Dr. Luther Cox of Sparta, a friend of Dr. Duncan's, was taken ill and came to High Point to get Dr. Duncan to take care of him. Mrs. Hayworth was chosen to be his special nurse; and as she was hanging his clothes in the closet, she noticed a pin on his lapel. She had always wanted a hospital pin, but so far, nobody had taken the time to choose one. She decided this fraternity pin was just about the right size and style, so she took it downto Mr. Stamey, a jeweler, and he made a blueprint of it, and had some pins made. From that time it became our hospital pin. The first uniform worn by the nurses was pink and white striped gingham with a white kerchief. Later this uniform was changed to gray with a small white stripe anda bib and apron. Stilllater,the gray stripe was discarded for the solid blue with white apron and bib now in use. The first cap was apiece of starched material - round except for one side which was straight and had a deep hem in it. The round part was pleated and the straight side turned back. This style could be made into so many variations that it was discarded and replaced by the simpler one inuse at the present time. For many years nurses livedin rooms at the hospital, and later in the Howell St. Home and the Burrus Home on Boulevard. In 1954, after three years' plan- ning and construction, the new Nurses! Residence at 236 Boulevard was completed. The building is modern in design and is furnished with the latest in medical and scientific equipment to aid in the training of nurses. It contains living quarters and recreational facilities for the students as well as classroom and laboratory space for instructional work. At the present time the High Point Memorial School of Nursing has 57 stu- dents. It has affiliations in Pediatrics at Children's H ospital, Washington, D.C. and in Psychiatry at Friend's Hospital in Philadelphia. The students have a well-planned curriculum taught by the nurse instructors and doctors in addition to several subjects which are taught by instructors from High Point College. There is also a Student Nurses' Chorus directed by Mr. George Clark. The present Director of Nursing Education is Miss A. E. Shupp and the Di- rector of Nursing Service is Miss Carolyn Frye. Miss Ruth Williard is Nursing Arts Instructor and her assistant is Miss Ersell Hester. 68 ate escent.
