-mm HOLY CROSS HOSPITAL SCHOOL OF NURSING 1907 - I960 PRESENTED BY THE CLASS OF I960 DEDICATION WE THE STUDENTS OF THE HOLY CROSS SCHOOL OF NURSING RESPECTIVELY DEDICATE THIS EDITION OF OUR YEARBOOK TO OUR HOUSEMOTHERS. INTRODUCTION A PRAYER FOR NURSES Dear Lord, I begin my day of duty with the hope that I shall serve thee faithfully. I have consecrated myself to the service of thy sick and suffering. I have pledged my loyalty and devotion to the noble principles of my calling. Each task I offer with sincere hope that it is prompted by my love for thee. I shall not shirk any duty however unpleasant. When I cool the fevered brow, moisten parched lips or comfort the aching body I shall remember that I bring comfort to thee. Help me to find in every patient another soul created by thy infinate love. I pray that my calling may always find me a real lady, kind, courteous and considerate of those who face the trials of sickness. Besides, I shall find hope in the thought that the more perfect my service, the more genuine my sacrifice, the more I shall be like to another lady - the lady you honored in such a striking way as to call her. Mother. EDITORIAL Within the covers of this book we have tried to unfold the story of the lives of sixty-seven happy girls. The story itself is made up of much laughter, a few tears and many warm and happy memories. Memories that will endure for a lifetime. It is therefore the fondest hope of the editorial staff of The Lamplighter that, as you leaf through the pages of this book, each page will bring back memories of happy days, sad days and beautiful moments. May it help us to remember the help and encouragement given us by many people - The Sisters, Doctors and Graduates - each of whom helped us to reach our ultimate goal - from humble “probie” to Coveted “R. N.” May it also remind us of the high ideals which the philosophy of our school is based: and in turn help us to face our future profession courageously at all times. To the undergraduates we say this: Continue on with the same zeal, co¬ operation and determination that has already helped to make you a part of a wonder¬ ful school. We wish you success and happiness in the future years and hope you will remember at all times our school motto “Semper Fidelis’’ - always faithful. L. Colpitts, Editor TRIBUTE TO BISHOP CARROLL BISHOP CARROLL “Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon, where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love, for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning, that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.’’ St. Francis of Assisi. This Prayer seems to be the Life Ideal of his Excellency Bishop Carroll. May we also try to reach this goal set for us through his example and we would be an inspiration to those working with us. IN APPRECIATION FOR FATHER FLANNAGAN A person who looks on the bright side of life. Is happy, yet serious in the face of our strife. Who thinks of himself after thinking of you. Offers words of encouragement when they are due A sympathetic listener, yet one who will find a ray of hope, to carry you through The Christian ideal of man is his code His job - to help others to follow the road. That will lead to happiness. ALL YOU HAVE DONE SISTER SUPERIOR The one in life wherever placed Hath happiness in store Who walks not in the wicked way Nor learns their guilty lore Nor from the seat of scornful pride Casts forth his eyes abroad But with humility and awe Still walks before his God That one shall flourish like the trees. Which by the streamlets grow The fruitful top is spread on high And firm the root below. SISTER LECLERC The time has come once again for another group of graduates to leave the Holy Cross. In turning our thoughts to the past, we realize that the memories of our three years of training are not fragmentary and nebulous: rather, they are very clear and con¬ cise. Among those memories which stand out from the rest are those of one who was always ready with friendly advice and encouragement. When things went wrong as they sometimes will When the road we trudged on seemed up hill When the funds were low, and the debts were high. When we wanted to smile, and could but sigh When worry pressed us down a bit. There was someone saying rest don’t quit. For life is queer with its twists and turns As everyone of you sooner learns And many a student gives up, turns about When she might have won, had she stuck it out. Try hardest when you’re hardest hit It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit. To you Sr. LeClerc, we dedicate these simple but sincerely thankful lines. MEDICAL BOARD DR. I.

How noble is this life we are pursuing, As we complete this step along the way! For ’tis the Father’s work we will be doing, And may we do it well we humbly pray. —Jo Ann Border AWARDS AND BURSARIES GENERAL PROFICIENCY: Sister Superior and Sisters of Holy Cross Hospital. MISS E.

ADDRESS TO THE GRADUATING NURSES H.C.H. 1960 Greeting: Mr. Chairman, Graduating Class of 1960, Right Reverend Monsignor Anderson, and Reverend Sisters of Charity. I accepted the honor created by the invitation to address you, the Graduating Class of 1960, with considerable misgivings as to my ability to perform this office in a manner suitable and equal to this great occasion. However, I am a mere mortal such as Shakespeare described when he wrote in Henry the Fifth - “but if it be a sin to covet honor I am the most offending soul alive.” Thus I accepted the invitation. Along with this flattery to my ego I considered my admiration and respect for your training school which has grown through the years of association with it and felt it my duty to face this task and bring to you some of my thoughts and obser¬ vations acquired through this period. I realized I had another unusual qualification for acceptance. I have lived a large part of my life in the home environment of nursing influence. Born and raised by a graduate nurse, my mother’s professional philosophy was later supplemented by my elder sister’s interpretation of your profession so that this particular home influence continued from infancy throughout the formative years until graduation from the University and later becoming established in medical practice followed subsequently by marriage. Some years later, a thi rd generation of nurses in our home added her personal volumes to my education of under-graduate thinking. Truly I have been exposed to the influence of the nursing profession allmylife. By virtue of this personal exper¬ ience, I feel compelled to present your view point and extend my remarks to include a word of admonition to my fellow practitioners. We the medical profession, ar� e studied, respected and admired: and at time honestly criticized in fact on occasion brilliantly lampooned and realistically caricatured by the observations of our nursing confreres. We should never forget that our hospital work is astutely assessed by an observant audience at all times. We are in the position where we must be pre¬ pared to have our work and our behaviour pattern examined by many keen eyes studying us for individual points of strength, weaknesses, quirks and personal idiosyncracies. In the last quarter of a century the advancing strides in the science of medicine have thrown a great increase in responsibility on your profession. Today, your train¬ ing includes many phases of treatment which you accept as common place, whereas a few years ago, some of these tasks were considered only in the realm of the pract¬ icing doctor. Your sphere of influence has thus widened, not only in the area of patient care, but also on the medical profession and the public at large. Now that you have attained your full academic stature of Registered Nurse, you cannot personally remain insular in your thinking or nondescript in your appearance be¬ cause of the elevated position of your profession and its ever widening sphere of influence which emanated from your daily life. This position of influence will be maintained and grow still further as a result of your excellent training applied in your work. You recent graduates have enjoyed the benefits of training with m any previously undreamed of ancillary services working behind you in our ultra-modern hospitals with facilities far beyond the comprehension of our predecessors. You have an armamentatarium of drugs vaccines, blood banks, antibiotics and chemother¬ apeutic agents, but, most important of all, you are trained in their scientific use and application. You have also inherited a tradition of dedicated service to mankind created in somewhat different surroundings. In our mind’s eye, we can see Florence Night¬ ingale, following her great Crimean adventure, by lantern light in the rat infested workhouses of her day. This spirit of Dedication has been carried down through the years to you, by such individuals as the late Miss Gertrude Hall, whose whole life has been a symbol of Dedication. Truly the environment has changed but the dedi¬ cation of your profession remains constant. The tradition of service is your birth¬ right in the nursing profession, its perpetuation is your responsibility of the future. The sincerity of your dedication combined with your success in the course of your training are assurance to us all that you will make your personal contribution to further increase this prestige of your chosen profession. Great strides of medical progress have been made in the hundred and forty five years this spirit of dedicated service was created. Probably the greatest of these strides have been made in the last thirty years. As a result, my contempor¬ aries in medicine and the nursing profession have been exposed to and benefited more by scientific medical advance in our day than in any other era of medicine. We are privileged to have seen modern medicine by the addition of many discoveries of the last quarter of a century, built its glorious superstructure on the solid foundation of centuries of development in our basic sciences. Truly, as graduates of today, and looking forward to still greater advances in the next quarter century, you are stand¬ ing on a threshold of broad horizons that fill one with awe when one thinks of their potential for further progress. In your professional life and in your own life time I am sure that future developments in medical knowledge will parallel the extra¬ ordinary advances in the field of science that have led to the fantastic explorations of space that are going on in our world today. Truly your horizon is without limit¬ ation. Its width, scope and depth for your future cannot be foreseen at present but can only be anticipated by the rapidity of progress that we have seen in the past and which has been so greatly accelerated in the last fifteen years. The ever broadening scope of the future brings demands upon you which, like the advances in medicine, I know are securely built on the scientific knowledge of the past and traditions and fortitude of your predecessors in bringing your profession to its present honored and respected status in our community life. I would remind you of your debt to your predecessors for the improved working conditions of your life during your under graduate and graduate days. These changes did not come about easily. Your predecessors in nursing had a tremendous battle on their hands to gradually bring about the present eight hour day. Also a forty hour week for under graduates with actual time for personal pleasure or improvement of the mind or body in other than professional work was unheard of twenty years ago. Many factors took part in bringing about this evolution of improvement in working conditions. Competitively, one could not expect girls to leave high school and undergo three years of rigorous training for their R.N. and graduate to a twelve hour work day, while their high school classmates would take a six months business course and immediately obtain employment in the business world with a forty hour week plus coffee breaks. Present conditions have been hard to attain but are of great benefit. To obtain the required number of nurses and perform all of the nursing duties in the reduced number of working hours per week, the sub-nursing aspects of bed¬ side nursing care were taken out of the hands of the nurse and performed by ancillary services. With this relief in the work load, the same number of nurses on the reduced number of working hours per week could perform adequately and effectively the essential nursing services. This reduction in hours was really a general sociologic trend in all phases of community life which required a great deal of leadership to bring about its application into the world of nursing. Coincident with these improvements, the advances and strides in medicine raised the ceiling of responsibility accepted by your profession to the elevated level that it maintains today. To illustrate this point of increased responsibility, let us consider a blood transfusion. A few years ago, a blood transfusion required the donor and the patient both present in the operating room with a surgeon and an assistant or-intern attending each one. I might say that the enthusiasm of the surgeon taking the blood from a donor sometimes produced seven hundred and fifty or even one thousand cc’s of blood but the lack of understanding of the clotting mechanism of blood meant that the patient might get four or five hundred cc’s of this mammoth transfusion and the balance was left as evidence on the ceiling, the walls and the drapes. This is not hearsay, I have seen it from the position of the donor. Today with the modern facilities of the Red Cross Blood Service, a transfusion is ordered by the attending physician and administered to the patient on the ward by a nurse who is trained in intravenous medication. Another example, is your use of the stethoscope in determining blood pressures. Formerly, the stethoscope was kept under cover and only used by an attending physician. Today, one sees girls in the under graduate stage of training checking blood pressure with the stethoscope and noting signs of impending shock. This is an increase in responsibility on the nurse that has saved many lives by initiating treatment for impending shock rather than waiting for shock to become well established. One further example, I can well recall in our intern days taking emergency calls at any time of the day or night to treat post-operative distention by passing a stomach tube and doing a gastric lavage.In cases of acute dilatation of the stomach this procedure might have to be repeated as often as every half hour much to the patients discomfort. Today, a nurse passes a nasal catheter and establishes con¬ tinuous suction drainage and then supervises this more efficient drainage and thereby avoids serious complications with a minimum of discomfort to the patient and a more satisfactory result attained. One could go on citing many other responsibilities which are routinely accepted by your profession that were unheard of a matter of a few years ago. You, the Graduating Class of 1960, have accepted this increase in nursing responsibility as a matter of course. You have been trained to a high degree of perfection in applying your advanced technical knowledge. I might say that you have also been exposed to the living examples of the highest idealism and dedication to your profession in the environment of your Training School. I would like to suggest that you humbly recognize the contribution of your predecessors in building up the profession to its present stature. In acknowledging the work you in your turn have done to attain your degree, I would remind you of the statement by Bacom - “I hold every man a debtor to his profession.” Thus your diploma creates a debt and demands a continuing contri¬ bution on the part of each one of you for an individual effort to build your profession still higher and greater in line with the progress of the times, further adding to the inheritance you have received tonight, for your successors of the next generation. Your attainment in graduation has created a debt from you to your profession and demands a dedication of inspired service in your future professional life. Thus, in conclusion, I want to sincerely thank your predecessors in nursing for building securely the structure of the nursing profession that you are inheriting today and in congratulating you on your success, to quote to you the admonition of one of the world’s greatest medical men.

GRADUATION I M u jj Jj i 1 r i i i ii i GRADUATION BREAKFAST GRADUATION BANQUET VALEDICTORY Right Rev. Monseigneur Anderson, Rev. Fathers, Rev. Sisters, Honoured Guests, Parents, friends and fellow grad¬ uates . Today is our graduation day. The black band we so proudly wear tonight is to you, a symbol of this achievement. However, for us, our black band has a far deeper meaning. We consider also the experiences of the past three years, which has made tonight possible. We remember our entrance day, and those first frustrating months of personal and professional adjustments. Then our weeks of classes, and clinical experiences, our yearly promotion, recognized by the presentation of a special pin, and finally our senior responsibilities. For us, these memories make up the fabric of our black band. These past three years at Holy Cross Hospital have prepared us to fulfill our role as professional nurses. The example of dedication of our beloved Grey Nuns, has instilled in us the spirit of serving God by ministering to the sick. By upholding our motto “Semper Fidelis,’’ always faithful we humbly hope to imitate the first Handmaiden of the Lord, Mary, His Mother. As our Hospital Chaplain you. Rev. Father Flanagan, have helped us to see always the inherint dignity of our profession. You counselled us in our difficulties, comforted us in our sorrows and rejoiced with us in our happiness. To you. Rev. Father, we are indeed grateful. Through the patient guidance of our instructresses we have learned the art and science of nursing. In hours of indecision and insecurity you were the first to our aid. To you, to the head nurses and supervisors, we are indebted for your direction and support. To the medical staff, who have given so generously of their time and knowledge, our sincere thanks. We have been edified by the example of your professional life, reflecting the true spirit of service. We feel somewhat humbled but we hope prepared to assist you efficiently in the years to come. The realization of our cherished dreams and ambitions can only be shared fully by our loved ones; our family. In our hopes and fears, joys and failures, we valued above all your support and encouragement. You may be very proud tonight for your sacrifices and love have made this all possible. Tonight we bid a fond farewell to the Students of the Holy Cross. As was our goal, may you continue to uphold the honour of the school, may you be successful in your studies and finally experience this very re¬ warding event of graduation. Thanks for your companionship and your support of school activities. In wishing you the best in the coming years, we can only hope that all the joys and happiness we have known here, may also be yours. Today will end like another day, but the fondest of memories and the hopes of the future will never completely erase the grandeur of this moment. As one poet so ably describes it. For yesterday is but a dream And tomorrow is only a vision But today well lived makes every . Yesterday a dream of happiness And every tomorrow a vision of hope. Miss J. Crawford CLASS OF FEB. ’61 L.
