LJ TUT 3 THE GIGHTED LAMP 1995 Published by the SENIOR CLASS of HIGH POINT MEMORIAL HOSPITAL School of Nursing High Point, North Carolina DEDICATION Although ''Mama and 'Daddy'' are common words, to us they have a wealth of meaning. Mama and Dad, you are the ones to whom we turned in difficult times; you lifted our spirits when we were blue and gave us the courage to move forward and hold our lighted lamps _ high. Love, help, and understanding are the traits that many humans do not possess. We thank God that these three traits are part of the make-up of you. Without you we would never have lighted our lamps of knowledge. You found pleasure in our happiness; you labored diligently and sac- rificedto give us our chance; you were interest- ed in us: in our work, our hopes and dreams, our failures and successe s. We, the Class of 1955, express our deepest appreciation of all youhave done, and we proudly dedicate our An- nualto You. May Godbless and keep you always - - DEAR PARENTS. . M.

Summers FOREWORD Here we present for your enjoyment the first copy of ''The Lighted Lamp - just a change of name of the Annual of the Nursing School of High Point Memorial Hospital, due chiefly to the fact that the word Caduceus rightfully belongs to the world of medi- cine. We are nurses, so we have chosen the lamp as our insignia as it seems to be associated in one's mind with Florence Nightingale. The years, 1952 to 1955, are important years in our memories. Those who have worked with us, lived with us, and inspired us will remain with us in the pictures that we have gathered herein this book. Some of our happy moments and some of those scenes that make up a student nurse's life are here also. Our theme follows our name. The lamp was light- ed for us when we entered as Freshmenl. Each im- portant step that we took added brightness to our lamps. As graduates we go forth with our lamps held high, filled with the knowledge that should enable us to aid those who need us in the time of sickness and suf- fering. May you enjoy our book as much as we will enjoy and treasure it.

Acsweet smilevofcloveus all Required to answer a patient's call, Rather than a long face drawn With blank expression and all friendliness gone. A word of encouragement here and there Is enough to assure one that you care. Emotionally balanced you must be, As well as courageous, you see. Never a duty should you shrink Nor refuse to do any type of work. Tolerance is a quality Expected by society. Mental ability too is important To help intelligently at any moment. All of this and more still Is better than a sedative pill. And what is more comforting than a prayer To prove your kind and loving care, When Death stealthily creeps in And Life ebbs away, saying, 'You win . Nurse, if all this you measure to, You'll be what the world expects of you. gf Ye ene SENIORS } coat ee sat s ane PADRE ae past? : , neil i - LOE — i iad ve ie poset ti, tint nee —— Ngee ‘ ace , in ; j : % a ae p i | go 4 a Codie | ii i} OPN AON er Re EE H : i : ‘ ' M4 : : i a Ff : t + i : 3 Bit iy 8 en ss OGRA SANG A REN OS.

Gilliam, Jr. “Ain't they sweet? 46 OUR STORY. You should have seenus onthat Sunday afternoon, Septem- ber 14,1952. Twenty teen-agers, all sizes and all ages and all shapes, arrived at the High Point Memorial Hospital. We were the Freshmanclassof the School of Nursing--bet- ter known as ''Probies '--on our way toward accomplishing our dream of becoming a nurse. Our lamp was lighted. We had been told to report to the Nurses' Home on Howell St. There we straggled in, accompanied by Fathers and Mothers, and loaded down with luggage. Wide-eyed and scared half to death, we tramped up the steps to our new home, smiled un- certainly at each other, and kept swallowing something that seemed to have lodged in our throats, our hearts I guess. Instructors, housemothers, and upper classmen greeted us and tried to make us feel that we were one of them. Next morning! Off to classes! This was the beginning of six months of studying, listening to lectures, and conduct- ing experiments of all kinds. We had finished with the 3 R's when we left the public schools. Here we learned, besides our P's and Q's, the classroom P's-Physiology, Pharma- cology, Pathology, Psychology. Th ose books were heavy' ' in more than one sense of the word. We all looked like the girl in the picture to the left. Why didn't some one tell us that to be a nurse you had to know Arithmetic ?''One-half pill or twopills?'' Dissolve the pill in 24 Minims of water, expel 6 and give the patient 18 or was it expel 18 ard give the patient 6? We were just as per- plexed as the picture below shows. But wasn't it fun when we began to supplement our knowledge in Nursing Arts with demonstrations on that ever-popular Mrs. Chase? How to make a bed with the patient in it! Without the patient in it! How to give the patient a bed bath! How to place the patient on the bed pan! There is no doubt that in a training school the ''patient'' is the most important thing. We learned how ) to take temperatures, give hypos and enemas, get blood pressures. Some of us had a rugged time with the ther- mometers, but we didn't mind giving hypos to the oranges and grapefruits. Taking blood pressures-whata job that was! I guess we many atime cut off the blood supply before we got it just right. If you don't know what I mean just look at the next picture. That is Poe taking the blood pressure of one of her classmates. And then IT arrived-the time for Capping-the thrill of thrills! There were 17 of us who received our caps in the First Baptist Churchon Marchl4, 1953. That meant that our lamps were burning brightly because we had passed the try- ing-out period andhad been giventhe opportunity to continue in our chosen profession. It was only a few months and we had completed our first year's studies. Summer vacations were posted andlonger hours were spent on duty in the hos- pital. Now please don't think that everything was work. The Juniors and Seniors initiated us at a Pyjama Party and as- signed a Big Sister to watch over us. Other parties at Hal- 47 lowe'en, Christmas, Birthdays kept us entertained. There were a big Spring Dance, a picnic sponsored by the Women's Guild, Wiener Roasts, and DATES. We made good use of that 10 o'clock and that 11 o'clock leave each week and that one overnight leave when we headed for home. We faced our Junior year with a black corner band on those caps that we so proudly wore. Some of us moved to the Burrus House while some of us stayed at the Howell St. Home. More time was being spent in serviceat the hospital thanin the classroom. We studied Nursing in Communicable Diseases, Orthopedics, Gynecology, Urology, Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat, Obstetrics, Emergencies, and Professional Adjustments II. We'd like to take you with us as we go to some of our special trainings. First, let's go to the Diet Kitchen where we dealt with such diets as Salt Free, Fat Free, Diabetic, Low Residue, High Residue, Bland. It just seemed as if every patient was on something special. Nothing was more disillusioning than, having finished all the trays and having just sat down to eat, the telephone informed you of a special new diet that you had to prepare. Result: you might find the poor student looking like that picture atthe left as she thinks of her own meal getting cold. Do you remember O.R.? Most ofus looked like this nurse. Scared to death as we entered the operating suite, knowing that for sure this is what will happen to every one of us. We watch carefully, then we are permitted to help, and fin- ally we are assisting with ease. Fingers that were all thumbs work in co-ordination now and we leave O.R. thinking it wasn't such a bad place after all. On to O.B.--Labor and Delivery, Nursery, and Post Par- tum. The Nursery beingacross fromthe prospective father's waiting room, it became sort of an unwritten rule that the nurses keep an eye on the nervous Dads-to-be. Sometimes the babiesare temporarily forgotten as the new papa hits the floor. Again, why do those babies always cry when they are being shown to the beaming relatives and friends? Do you wonder thatthe nurse occasionally assumes the pose that you see in the picture? 48 Night Duty! How can we ever forget that first endless night? We had rather envied the night nurse because we thought how little there must be to do for sleeping patients. Did I say sleeping? It didn't take us long to learn that all patients do not fallinto that blissful sleep when the lights go out. Just look at Neese and you will know what we mean. This is the morning after the night before-the first night One NIGE Tey. mae And then came Charge Duty. That's the never-to-be-for- Men gotten time when we are left in charge of a hall. To you, ast come the student nurse and the aide with the problems and a the questions. All's wonderful until you have gone back to ago the Dorm and laid you downto sleep. Whena million questions pop into your tired brain. You can see Taylor wrestling with some of these questions as she tries to go to sleep. age Ne Taylor @ During the month of February, 1954, our Junior year, we moved into our brand new nurses' dormitory--such a beautiful place and every convenience. Open House wasarealattractionand we proudly conducted Mr. and Mrs. Pub- lic through our new home. For the first time our entire student body was housed together. Seemed wonderful! And those spacious and fully equ ipped classrooms. We could really boast of our home and school now. Again it was summer and we rated a vacation of three weeks. Some of us went on affiliation when we returned--a few to Philly and a few more to Wash- ington.In September we were told that it was time to put that black ribbon across the cap. This was our reward for having studied and worked hard for two years. Yes, we were the SENIORS. That lamp of ourswas really glowing as we started out on the third year of our training. Six months of this year were spent in affiliations. At Washington we received instruction in Pediatrics and at Philadelphia we had our Psychiatrics. Those who remained at the hospital were responsible for many activities. We were very busy getting out our monthly paper, ''Blood Pres- sure Readings,'' taking charge of Devotions and Student Government Meetings, and getting the Annual ready for publication. Many of us were giving some serious thought to the future. What should we do--get married, go into the hospital, join some branch of the service? The picture shown next: shows you in what a state of mind Ward was. Now it is time to think of graduation. Fourteen of us are about to receive our diplomas and later that coveted R.N. We pause to think of the six girls who started out with us but changed their minds. We are grateful to our Di- rector of Nursing, Miss Anna E. Shupp, to those teachers who taught us our lessons, to the supervisors and to the staff doctors for the numerous things they did that added to our Training. Although we are being graduated, we know that we have not completed our education in the Nursing profession. We are ready and willing to take our place in this profession and to faithfully serve as those who have gone before have served. We resolve that, even though the lamp is heavy, we will hold it high and keep it buring to the best of our ability. Historian-Faye Taylor DiPLomp Artist-Ann Snyder MY PROPHETIC CANDLE. We had just completed the work on the Annual ''The Lighted Lamp that Saturday afternoon. I went to my room feeling quite nostalgic over the scenes of our life as a student nurse. As I sat there musing I just nonchalantly reached out for the lamp we had received for Capping. Lost in thought I picked up a match and lighted the candle inthe lamp. To my amazement the flame shot forth and began to assume different shapes, and there before my eyes the following scenes appeared: First, I see the picture of Duke University in the flame. It is just two or three years since we were graduated from High Point. In one of the classrooms the figure of Betty Ward appears--she is working on her B. S. and looks to be very happy. The flame flickered--time) seemed not certain. And there stands Hilda Dennis. The hospital looks like Watt's and Hilda is in charge of things--still batching it, I believe. What a scene appeared next! It took some time for me to realize that the place was Africa. Then Elsie Dills and her hus- band appear in it--missionaries--and Elsie is in charge of a clinic for Home Nursing Courses. You should have seen the next picture forming--a full colonel in the U.S. Army Nursing Corps. Yes, it is Ann Snyder about twenty years after graduation. She certainly looks stunning in that uniform and seems to be very successful in the recruitment pro- gram. Still has that pretty smile. The next thing I see is a large tobacco farm and it is dinner time, I presume, for a woman comes to the door to call the men to eat. My goodness! It's Rayma Hedgecock. She really did marry Clyde and they have devoted their time to farming and rais- ing a family. There are the children seated around the table--two boys and three girls. The scenery in the next picture was not familiar to me. I watched and thought. First, a very large body of water; then rich farm land and such wonderful cattle. Finally some folks came in- to the picture. Guess? Yes, it is Donzy Kiser and her husband and family. Quite some cattle raisers. The flame brightened and spread out and I was looking at one of the places where we had affiliated--Children's at Washington, D. ©. The entire hospital shows throughout the light and thena nurse with a High Point cap smiles out at me. It is Peggy Cagle. She has decided to devote her nursing ability to the care of children and has chosen Washington in order to be near her husband who has re-enlisted in the Air Force. The next picture startled me. It was a beautiful new Psychiatric Sanitarium and it read Asheville. I wondered which of my class- mates I'd see there. Gradually the face of Ruth Coble appears. She is seated at the desk marked Superintendent. The picture flashes off and a new one develops. Ruth is now in her apartment, but she is alone except for her dog. There is a new view. It is in California--a lovely ranch type house surrounded by roses galore. The name on the mailbox is Dr. (Can't -read it). A figure is developing. It is Faye Taylor working in her flower garden. Now I see her assisting her hus- band in his office. He is a physician with an enviable practice in San Fernando. 50 Can that be Margaret Poe? She has put on weight since she left us--age has agreed with her. She's the Director of Nurses at Moore County Hospital. Something seems to be bothering her- she's watching out the window. NowIsee the reason. That certain truck driver has come to take her home. What's bothering that candle? What a flame---never saw one so large! Why, it's a big city in Texas---it'd have to be a large one to get Texas in it. Who is down there? Wait, here comes a very attractive Health Nurse. Gee, it's Rachel Neese. She must have had her chance to travel. Wonder if she's married--no man appears in it. Is that Paris thatIsee now? It is. I know whom I'll see there. There she is looking very chic with her handsome French husband, Virginia Summers. I thought for sure that she would be satisfied to have her farm here in North Carolina but she must have been swept off her feet by that Frenchman she met in Washington. Where is Doris Hicks? ThinkI've seen everyone of my class- mates in different place and at different ages except her. There is something going on in the flame--it's Hicks. My, but she looks happy--surrounded by children--one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. There's her husband--looks like a very prosperous under- taker. Well, I've seen them all and they all have done well. What's happening now? Why, there I am too in the leaping flame. That's High Point Memorial Hospital--the new wings are a big improve- ment. The old part has been torn down and there are two new ad- ditions-400 beds now. Why do I see this? Oh! there I am-Direc- tor of Nursing Education. That makes me very happy. The light flickers and is gone. My prophetic candle has burned out. I wonder how true its foretelling has been. Time will tell. Sue Rayle Prophet LEST WE FORGET..... That Sunday afternoon we came in training. Our first days on the halls. The first time we were in charge. The hayrides we had. The New Year's Eves we've spent together. The time Donzy got locked in Room 501. The wonderful times 8 of us had while living at the Burrus Home. When we moved into the new dorm. Seeing each other off on affiliation. The times we had in Washington and Philadelphia. The sr.ow-nurse we made at the Burrus Home. Ourstinst- check: The sunporch at the Burrus Home. The night we had the prowler at Howell Street. The mysterious phone call to Rayle to rush back to High Point to help with the diarrhea epidemic. The times Mrs. Bailey read our minds and treated us to refresh- ments after study hours. PHILADELPHIA Friends Hospital was the first private institution in America used exclusively for the care andtreatment of the mentally ill. For over a century the hospital's ac- tivities have been closely identified with the development of psychiatry here. In 1888it was incorporated underthe laws of Pennsylvania as the Friends Asylum for the Insane, and in 1914 the name was changed to Friends Hospital. We regard our three months spent there as the most exciting and enjoyable experience of ouretraining. miendscsrcea 200-bed hospital, located in the center of its 99 acres of lawn, flower gardens, and wooded area. It didn't take us long to remember to close and lock all doors behind us. The habit became so strong that we uncon- sciously slammed every door through which we passed, even in the nurses! home. Note the picture of Summers. We learned much inthe Insulin Therapy Department, and Electric Shock Therapy was very interesting and filled us with amazement. Every student had a chance to work on four different wards or sec- tions, which included almost every type of psychiatric patient and the various treat- ments that each specific type receives. We enjoyedthe privilege of living with and working with students from other schools. We have received considerable knowledge ofand understanding of Psychi- atry that can be gainedonly by experience in this type of institution, and we are glad that for us it was Friends. _ i z rs Ss, WASHINGTON, D.C. The School of Pediatric Nursing of the Children's Hospital of Washington, D. C. is anideal setting for the study of the nurs- ing of children. It includes private, semi- private, and ward hospitalization of chil- dren from infancy tothirteen years of age. Ourcurriculum includes three months of instruction at Children's.This provides Our experience in Medical and Surgical Pediatrics, Isolation, Formula Lab, and Dispensary. We were impressed by the Out-Patient Department, the largest in the world. It operates on a 24-hour basis and averages 200 to 250 patients daily.

SS = = | a Sc == = SY) OUR FIRST CHRISTMAS IN THE RECREATION ROOM MEDICAL AUXILIARY HIGH POINT BRANCH OF GUILFORD COUNTY The School of Nursing and the student nurses are thankful to the Medical Auxiliary for many things. A donation of $100 for Medical reference books added to the new library. Six doctors and their wives gave money for six subscriptions to magazines for 1954 and six additional ones for 1955. The most gratifying part of this group's program was the stimulating of interest in the establishment of scholarships for student nurses. The faculty were entertained at a Spring luncheon. Officers are: President-Mrs. A. R. Cross Vice -President-Mrs. George Wood Recording Secretary-Mrs. Asa Parham Corresponding Secretary-Mrs. L. U. Creech Parliamentarian-Mrs, J. E, Slate President-Elect-Mrs. Philip Davis WOMEN’S GUILD January 24, 1955 marked the Tenth Anniversary of the Women's Guild. Both the hospital and the student nurses have been the recipients of the generosity of the Guild. The big hospital project for this year is the air conditioning of second and third floors and the dining room. The student nurses were entertained at a picnic at the country home of Mrs. Ed Millis and at a Christmas tea at the home of Mrs, Webster. The campus of the dormitory has been landscaped. The picture, Autumn Glory”, was placed in the lobby of the Dorm. The officers for the present year are: Mrs. W, T. Powell, Pres. Mrs, Matt Hall, lst Vice Mrs, Mayne R, Bundy, 2nd Vice Mrs, Horace Ragan, Jr., Corr. Sec'y Mrs, Ernest Gaither, Rec. Sec'y. Mrs. Grover Garland, Treas. Our Santa Clause. A winter scene. }.

A NURSE’S PRAYER BEFORE STATE BOARD ae Dear God, As I kneel in thy presence Amid the turmoil and strife this life affords, I find my mind resting deeply On that examination--THE STATE BOARD. — There's no need to worry; This isn't do or die. But, there is a driving factor: I want to make it in one try. Then what a feeling it would be To have to face my class ig And say to them with my head bowed; Uitgigupotpasss. Though I have been preparing For the event about to take place, | I feel rather shaky Over the task I have to face. | I see no reason why, With an added bit of thought, : I shouldn't be able to exhibit : The things that I was taught. : I think I know Anatomy, Physiology, The Surgery and all the rest. But, even with such confidence, I'm anticipating a real test. Nevertheless I deem it wise In any effort toward progress, y To call upon One Ui Who has aided many a success. Give me strength and courage, And help me fullfill my aim. These blessings I ask y are thy Son's name.

Lunch at twelve Lecture at one You’re sick and tired Before the day’s half done. Micro at two O. B. at four, Dinner at five At six back on floor. From then until ten You work with a smile, Though your back is aching And each step seems a mile. You look at your watch The hands point to ten, You’re ready to leave But—a doctor comes in. He orders a compress And an enema stat, The night nurse is busy So you go do that. You're finally off And longing for rest, But you still have to cram For tomorrow’s two tests. Between one and two You rise from your chair, Fall into bed And whisper your prayer. Dear God, give me strength To stick to my vow, And treat all my patients As if they were Thou. Let me always remember As long as I nurse, To work only for love And not for my purse.”’ popes) — se = = = aae™ ox | é Pe ge. ; Se — Stee! wan tne EE ee es: yarns «v- te ee oe te nee
