As the years flow by, we can look at the pages of this - ''THE LIGHTED LAMP of 1960 - and bring back the memories both happy and sad, The theme of this bookis The Journey, since in these three years we have journeyed from immaturity to maturity and from inexperience to experience, Throughout this book you will follow us through our journey of joy and sorrow, and despair and triumphs, It is our sincere hope that these pages will bring to mind some of the fond memories of our days as student nurses. It is with pride that we present to you and ourselves the LIGHTED LAMP of 1960, Norma Jane Foster Editor DEDICATION Miss Kitty Dallas Cline Dear Miss Cline, The Senior Class wishes to honor you in this small way for directing our minds and hearts toward our goal we are about to reach as gradu- ate nurses, We hope this will be a small token of our appreciation and gratitude for all the time and effort spent for the welfare of our class as teacher and friend. You helped to make us what we are today and we hope we can live up to the ideals you taught us. May God bless you always.

And now as I sit here, I see Carolyn Harris and Christine Butler--oh! yes, they took the Army seriously. They became Captains and are now teaching the probies at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, D. C. Mrs. Lib Johnson, the former Private Elizabeth Brown, didn't quite make Captain. Gayle Miller Fritts is now living happily on Fritts Hill taking care of the six little Fritts boys. Shirley Surratt Snow and Peggy Smith Huffman are now living side-by-side in their duplex apartment, a short distance from Odell's Sandwich Shop, just outside the great metropolis of Mt. Airy. Norma Foster's love of Chestnut Lodge took her back and in time she took over the job of supervisor. Shelby Taylor has now attained her destined goal - that of becoming the world's renowned psychiatrist of our time. Now that we have conquered the moon, Tommy Shields and Elvis Presley have journeyed up there to teach the moon people Rock-and-Roll. She is Elvis' new publicity agent and has given up nursing for him. That efficient little nurse I see scuttering around the hospital at Siler City is Sallie Milholen. She loved the Emergency Room at H. P. M.H. so much that she is just another Mrs. Juska in Siler City. I see Rebecca McNeill, (I didn't get the last name, ) is still in the nursery at H. P. M. H. While all the time she is worrying about her own nursery with two new additions at home. Shirley Dowd finally settled down to work at Cone Memorial Hospital in Greensboro, deciding that Johnny was the one for her after all. As I look out into the future I can see that Nelson finally got the car paid for, and he and Georgie Mae together are living happily ever after. I see Ann Elkins Lackey finally got settled down in Jamestown after journeying around the world with Bob while he was still in the Marines. And there is Mary Frances back working at Children's Hospital, loving it even more because Bronzie is there with her. Mamie Jo Barker is now doing pioneer nursing in those lovely mountains around Asheville, where she and Richard are now living. I see Dot Lawrence, Bonnie Green, and Sara Sparger are all back in their 'Promised Land of Washington, D. C. happily working at George Washington, while not far away in Rockville, Gerry and Bob Morris are bringing up the little Morris'. It was a wonderful journey but now realizing it was only imaginary, I wonder if any of it will really come true. CLASS PROPHET Sara Sparger Page Sixty-Eight ager Ra! Et NH AFFILIATION IMPRESSIONS I don't suppose we shall ever forget our affiliations, It seemed we had reached another goal, The thrill of going to the big city along with the dis- appointment of leaving home and our dear classmates, First, Chestnut Lodge at Rockville, Maryland. The art of being both friend and professional nurse to those sick in mind, I'm sure we can never put these people from our minds, The reward, I suppose, was the way they gradually accepted us and put forth the small shreds of trust they still possessed. The many trips to the Pizza Oven when our funds were exhausted. The won- derful dances including the patients and those with just the students and their dates. The luxury of wall to wall carpeting. Oh! We could go on forever but it can be summed up as ''wonderful memories, Secondly, Children's Hospital of the District of Columbia. The inspiration of childrens' minds and the freshness of them. The depressing realization that some would never reach the goal of adulthood. The impression it makes to stand by the side of a feverish child can never be erased, The old familiar halls of Cadet Hall which has witnessed coming and going of hundreds of student nurses, The beauty of the monuments in spring time shall always linger in our hearts, These experiences were both maturing and inspirational, We the class of 1960 pay honor and respect to these institutions and hope that in some way we contributed to their greatness, Ann Elkins Chestnut Lodge, Inc.

Page Seventy-One HISTOR Y-CLASS OF 1960 On September 9, 1957, thirty-two young girls, most of us leaving home for the first time, walked up the steps of the nurses' dormitory loaded with bags and boxes --- to begin a three year journey toward our goal --- that of becoming a registered nurse. All sizes, ages, and shapes, and all scared to death. After being met at the door by Miss Burgess, our Director of Nurses, and Miss Cline, our Edu- cational Director, we were shown to our rooms and we met our roommates. How little we knew what was in store for us those next few years. The older students, as is the custom, held us spell bound with accounts of their recent adven- tures in this exciting field. They were not the snooty I know more than you do, kind of girls some of us were afraid we would find; instead, several took the new probies under their wings and helped us over those first hard weeks. The first six months included many hours of hard studying and close observation, preparing us for hall duty. March 20, 1958 rolled around and we received the symbol of our profession, ourcap. This gave us a feeling of accomplishment and of belonging. April, 1958, we proudly helped in moving from the original Burris Hospital to our new and modern High Point Memorial Hospital. In June of 1958, our classes were over for the summer and many of us started on our special services which were to continue through out our junior year. These services included Operating Room, Obstetrics, and Diet Kitchen. Some of the girls began 3-11 and 11-7 duty at this time. Before we realized it, we were Juniors, and had received that black stripe on the left side of our caps. We were now working closer with patients and having fewer classes a week. These classes were usually held by doctors on the staff. Of course, all our time was not spent in work and study. There were parties at Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine's. Then there were the twelve o'clock leaves. When spring time came, we enjoyed the picnic given by the Hospital Guild. Then came our affiliations. Our unforgettable affiliations included Chestnut Lodge, Rockville, Maryland, for the men- tally ill and Children's Hospital in Washington, D. C. for our pediatrics. These affiliations were educational, enjoyable, and crowded with the unexpected. September 9, 1959, we entered our last year of training. We now had eamed a black band all the way across our nursing cap and the title --- SENIOR. With this title went more respon- sibility. We were in charge of the various places more often. The last three months of our stay here were busy ones, spent in getting the annual ready for press, electing new officers, and turning in overdue care studies. As our long climb is almost over, we pause to look back over these last three years, some of the best years of our lives. We have so many friends and memories we shall always cherish. Still engraved in our hearts will remain the Florence Nightingale Pledge, to pass my life in purity and to practice my profession faithfully. SHIRLEY DOWD Class Historian Page Seventy-Two HOSPITAL CHAPEL ACROSS THE THRESHOLD As you cross the threshold of this, the House of the Lord, may you experience God through the presence of His Holy Spirit. May you breathe in the atmosphere of things Divine. May your heart beat with high and holy desire and expectation. M ay your voice be lifted in praise and echo the songs which the redeemed sing. May your personality be filled to the overflow with the love of God, the joy of His salvation and His power to make you all that He would have you to be. May you carry with you all the blessings of Christian Fellowship and the abiding benedictions of His Spirit, Truth and Grace.

As our journey comes to an end ----- The following things we'd like to lend: Our uniforms, memories, books, and pens, Signing in-and-out slips, and messy dens. As our affiliations now have ceased; Our fondest memories have increased; And as the time is drawing near When we will end our journey here; The Class of 1960 leaves to you -- Best wishes, sincere thanks, and our love, too.
