The lighting of this lamp is a challenge to each nurse. The student must learn early in her schooling, that many substances go into the compound used to light this lamp. Through work, through service, through prayer, through every minute of her lite, she must strive to obtain the highest goal possible, by each day trying to improve her work. To light our lamps so that the flame may be constant, everlasting, and forever a symbol of our profession, is our thought in dedicating this book. 3 ,gk K ..i .Y .,.x -. 5, y 'xx , , R N...

Sermon 8 rQ.,..1 of irecford One of the most important admin- istrative bodies connected with the independence Sanitarium is its very efficient Board of Directors. Eight men comprise the Board, headed by Israel A. Smith, with Bishop G. L. Delupp as secretary. Bishop Henry Livingston Judge W. J. Randall .xgclminid frafion 5 Gertrude E. Copeland, R.N. Under Miss Copeland's able leadership the Independence Sanitar- ium has become an outstanding hospital. She has been with the hospital for over twenty-five years, and during this time many new developments have been made through her efforts and sincere interest. A. Neal Deaver Working hand-in-hand with Miss Copeland in making our hospital the very best is none other than Mr. Deaver. He spent several years at .Graceland as their capable and efficient business manager after which he proved very successful in a private concern. He has as a very successful hobby the line of photograhy. This hobby has proved most helpful to the hospital, school of nursing, and Sanilog. We thank you very much for sharing your talent with us, Mr. Deaver. Nelle Morgan, R.N. The first person to extend the hand of friendship to student nurses, hospital personnel or a new acquaintance is Miss Nelle Morgan, Director of Nurses. She shares the problems, large and small, of the students, along with their achievements and successes. Upon her shoulders rest many heavy responsibilities, but she isvnever too busy to be a gracious lady and a true friend. Vida Butterworth, R.N., B.S., M.A. Our well organized educational program is ably headed by Miss Vida Butterworth. She plans the courses and acts as a co-ordinator for the instructors. One of the first impressions in the student nurses mind is Miss Butterworth's friendly smile and cordial ways. She is not only a capable director of education and instructor, but also a true and sincere friend to everyone. jacuag Shirley Butler, R.N. Myrtle Qultmyer, R.N. Iola Tordotf, R.N. Mabel Faulkner, R.N. Lottie Coleman, R.N. Florence Nowack, R.N. Juanita Dorsch, B.S. The faculty helps mold the beginning probie into a professional nurse. They spend much of their time trying to transfer their knowledge to the student nurse lby means of osmosisl. We, the students, take off our hats to the faculty for their sincere interest and wise guidance to -help us along the long iourney of becoming a good nurse. We extend our best wishes and hearty thanks to you for the splendid work you have done and are doing. 'IO ,pr 144..i...f3.ff C. H. Allen MD. J. F. Bowser, M.D Not Pictured M, R. Bay, M.D. S. F.

We feel that the Independence Sanitarium and we as students, are very lucky in having a well qualified staff of this type. Working hand in hand with the supervisor, is the assistant supervisor, without whom, the departments could not run in the smooth, concise manner they do. 30 Jaififanf ulaeruiziora .gm 1 , W, L i ign .

The graduates of our hosoital, perform the more exacting and technical tasks, of which we are not yetfcapable. They work wr-th the supervisors in overseeing the teaching of students in their duties on t e oors. 32 The technical department which includes the X-ray department and laboratory has an atmosphere of hushed mystery for most of the public. The microscopes in the lab- oratory and the ,fstrange huge machines in the X-ray department are essential tools used in making the diagnosis of many of the baff- ling illnesses. The work in these highly specialized fields goes on constantly and makes possible the best nursing and medical care. ic nica any u urfie .xdicled .-,,j,1. ... .-233, .. ,, -Q-1'-'g,,-,N ,. . ,. .. .....,.--.'.. , .

These workers are volunteers who help care for the personal wants of the patients. They also do such important work as delivering mail, carrying requisitions, and car- ing for flowers. The pages are groups of Oriole girls, who re- ceive merit badges for hours of service. A gray lady is on duty nearly all hours of the day to help as best needed. Both of these groups are greatly appreciated. .fduxigary ' 8106 ibief J6fcAen Mary Merle Buckles, Dietitian The daily nutritional needs of a patient are fulfilled in the diet kitchen, one of the most essential departments in the hospital.

Ordzoyae icd ancllgeckafricd How to best care for the patient in a cast or in traction, is fascinating as well as exciting work. The student nurse learns to avoid pressure sores, and to take ex- clellent care of alignment and the patient's s ln.- Perhaps one of the most interesting serv- ices of the nursing curriculum is none other than Pediatrics. Caring for children not only is interesting, but it does much to help the nurse use her iniative in mak- ing the child's stay at the hospital shorter by keeping him happy and content. bl, an l 9Ql g l'l'Lel gQl'lCg At least 'I5 minutes Mona!

Cludid fmad All that I want for Christmas. . Silent Night An annual affair at the San, is the Christmas party sponsored by the Juniors. Santa usually remembers to stop long enough to see us, and there are always his helpers to make us feel iolly and in the Christmas mood. Candlelight caroling through the hallways helps to bring even more of the spirit of Christ, His joy and peace, to us, as we share it with the patients. gwad fha Hgh ge ore CAI-idfmad 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all thru the Not a probie was studying or racking her dome. The stockings were hung on the towel rack with care, In hopes that they'd dry for the hour of despair. The patients were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of enemas danced in their heads. The freshies in pin curls, and juniors in caps -Had just settled down for some little cat naps, When out on the lawn we heard such a noi'se We leaped from our beds, Maybe they're Boys! Up to the window we tripped in a flash, Fell over the chair, and crashed through the sash. The moon on the crest of the new fallen snow Gave a luster of- midday on the objectsbelow. When what to our wondering eyes should appear, CNot a keg of four roses or a bottle of beer.J But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer. With a little old driver 'so handsome and quick, We knew in a moment it was Chaplain St. Nick. More rapid than kiddy cars, his coursers they came, And he whistled and called out some names, Hi Si, Hi Vida, Hi Shirley, Hi Nell, My, but this dorm certainly looks swell. So on to the sun porch the reindeer they flew. Egads! there's Brewer, and in her swim-suit too. And then in a twinkle I saw on the elevator, Miss Faulkner and her little incubator. As I drew in my head and was turning around Down the stairs fell St. Nick with a terrible bound. home He was dressed all in fur from his cranium to his metatarsals, And his clothes were all tarnished and he was carrying som A bundle of something he had flung on his back, Why he looked like a probie with a big laundry pack. His eyes how they twinkled, his dimples how merry, His gay little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow. The stump of a pipe he held in his orbicular oris, He looked like our-gals trying to sing in the chorus. He was adiposy and plump, a right jolly old man, He reminds me of Lottie, the one from the San. A wink of his eye, and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work. He thought he could fill our stockings, Boy! What a J And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up to the fire escape he rose, He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down on a thistle. But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight You're a bunch of good gals, don't give up the fight. Keep struggling for ideals you know are so true, For the peace of humanity depends upon you. So just keep on smiling, and don't loose your cheer, A Merry Christmas to you all, and a Happy New Year .... erk- 59 e parcels Aloha l'm Comin' The variety show comes early in the spring of each year. lt is written, acted and produced by our students, and the proceeds are used to help the Sanilog's pro- duction.

We the prospective grads of '49, do with all pomp and sincerity, wish to leave to those coming after us, those possessions we treasure most. Joyce Beitz wishes to leave to each member of her class, one man from her three year collection. There are to be possible exceptions of Misses Buckley, Alford and Sprague, for whom nature has already provided. . Betty Buckley wishes to leave to the -Museum of Natural Arts and Sciences of the Indep. San., and Hosp., her pair of pedal pushers so that after we have long since been ashes and clust, they will not have perished from this earth. Shirley, Fuller, with loving kindness, does bestow on Mary Ward, her excellent housekeeping habits. Virginia McQueen, in the interest of learning and knowledge does present the Nursing Arts laboratory, a five pound can of Royal baking powder for Mrs. Quitmeyer to use in connection with her classes. Miss Donna Frank does leave her quiet and winning way to that person she deems most deserving, Miss Ann McKinney. Miss Florence Nowack, in promoting interest and research in the field of Psychiatry, does leave her paranoid tendencies to Karnosh 81 Gage. Miss Janice Carpenter leaves her Doctrine 8. Covenants to Jo Ann Breshears for refer- ence and study while affiliating in St. Louis. Miss Helen Ekberg gives, at long last, her skirt, blouse, and dress to Miss Barbara Green in payment for gambling debts incurred duringxtheir simultaneous hospitaliza- tion. Miss Enoi Foo reluctantly and with deep regret, passes on to Miss Gene Bonnett, her bounding health and consistent vigor. In case these valuable assets are damaged in the transfer, she would add her reserved bed in room 601. Miss Lily Ng contributes to the School Library, her filing cabinets. Miss Eleanor Sprague leaves her collection of antiques to Elizabeth Jahn, providing Miss Jahn does not take them back to Michigan-and her bubbling, happy laugh to Eleanor Hunter. Miss Nettie Alford does leave her scalding tongue and philosophical mind to be pickled in the biology laboratory immediately after her passage from this earth. It will subsequently be taken to Dr. Upsher for microscopic slides. 70 mp ef,-CZ... of 7949 Remembering those good old days of the Class of 1949, let's take a look into the crystal ball to see if it reveals some of their doings this Year of 1959. As the crystal ball lightens, we see .... .. Miss Virginia McQueen has become Miss Buckles' assistant. Miss Florence Nowack has become the San's new Educational Director, replacing Miss Butterworth. On the side, she runs a little shop called Nowack Tatting Shop. This is wonderful! The tennis court behind the hospital has become the location of the new Nurses' Home which has a swimming pool in the basement gym. Miss Eleanor Sprague is busy carrying out the duties of a Housemother. Mrs. Wade the former Miss Nettie Alford has attained the position of Superin- tendent of Nurses in a little hospital in Alabama. Miss Helen Ekberg is visiting the San after a tour of nursing schools and hospitals abroad. She will soon make a study of nursing and hospitals in the United States to present ways and means of raising their standards. The former Miss Joyce Beitz, now Mrs. Swails is very busy these days keeping her eight children Cthink of it-4 sets of twinsl out of mischief. Miss En Oi Foo has been supervisor of-3rd floor of the San for the past two years. Prior to that she spent some time studying to prepare herself for this position. None other but Miss Janice Carpenter is in charge of the new convalescent home which was formerly the nurses' home. The former Miss Betty Buckley is kept very busy entertaining her doctor-husband's friends and keeping the little Russels in good health. Oh! Oh! Crystal ball darkens. But wait it clears again-better hurry and see what else we can find out. Yes, here we go again .... Miss Lily Ng is now Superintendent of Nurses at the Robert Kock Hospital replacing Mrs. Whitford. Miss Shirley Fuller has become a well known Nursing Educator. Her 7th book The Reproductive Cycle of an African Flea has recently been published. Miss Donna Frank is a featured dancer at Club Copa Cabana. lt's rumored that she will replace Chiqiuta Banana soon. - Here we go again . . . the crystal ball clouds the scene. But I guess it's alright for it told us all of the doings of the Class of 1949. 71 prop egg- aaa of Captain I. L. Horton O-57502044 962 Medical Detachment, Letterman General Hospital San Francisco, California Dear Hortense, Remember the good old days way back when we were poor dumb student nurses? Do you remember the gang in the class ahead of us? How we did envy them! .lust recently I saw some of the girls at the ANA meeting. You remember Miss McKinney, don't you? Of course you know that she is now the president of the ANA. Anne and I lunched with a couple of other ISH girls. The bill was paid by the very famous Miss J. Brown. We didn't feel bad about letting her greet the cashier since she is now very efficiently holding down the position of 2nd chief nurse of U.S.P.H.S. The former Miss Obermeyer also had lunch with us. She entertained us with talk about the six little brunette boys she had left at home with Jay. Anne told us that she still hears from a few of her buddies from sanitarium days. The last we heard from Marie Carpino she was in her third year as surgery supervisor at our Alma Mater. Remember Esther Sexton? She was Anne's roommate. Last that was heard of her she was canoeing up the St. Lawrence calling Larry , o Oh, yes and Liz Jahn is now doing private duty and caring for a very famous man. At least she is caring enough to wear that big diamond. Peter Lawford has found that natural girl finally-sofsays Lola. Do you know what ever happened to Lorraine Briggs? Last I heard she was married. ls she still hunting the spy in Jefferson City? Has she dipped all the water from one side of the Missouri River and put it on the other yet? 72. I they are both riding mules way back in the hills and delivering babies. guess Ruby Ray and Jo Ann Breshears are still trying to civilize the south. I hear Jackie told me that she tho't Eleanor Hunter is still living in St. Louis not working with public health, but with public service and a nice public service employee. Lola told us that she sees Mary and Jimmy quite often and the 4 Renfore children come over frequently. The last two years Mary has been wife, mother, and supt. of Mercy Hospital. Remember Mercy and the three months we spent there? Lola also told us that Barbara and Don live near them. Barbara is working part time at the San giving medicines 3-II:3O on 2nd floor. It certainly was a nice luncheon iust talking over old times. It started me remembering that gang of girls. The last any of us remembered about Alice Itamura she was director of nurses in one of their large university schools. I guess she's too busy to do much writing. It seems that a few of the girls decided that the career for them is raising a family. Mary Ward Lysinger is the wife of a famous professor and the mother of several children. Sounds like a big enough career for anyone, doesn't it? Did Irene Eggert finally marry that nice farmer? I heard rumors of it and tho't you might know. What in the world ever happened to Virginia Johnson? I always thought she'd marry the doctor but never heard. I suppose she has her master's degree. Wasn't she educational supervisor at the San for a few years? The last I heard of Margie was the clipping from the paper that you sent me about her having the New Year's twins. I iust hope our class turned out as well. Write and tell me all you know about old times or maybe when you get a furlough we can talk things over. Bye for now and write soon. Love, Favorite old roommate, Crutcher. 73 cf... mf .ffm We, The Class of 1950, being sound in mind Cwe hopej would like' to will to the Junior class, those things we hold most dear to our hearts. Mariorie Barber would like to will to Bonnie Milburn her secret entrance and exit.

Mary Cline wills her ability to stick to one man, to Esther Cline. Irene Eggert wills her love for food to Mildred Sparks. Barbara Green wills her courage to anyone brave enough, who can escape punishment after being caught. CBarbara, remember the scrub gown?l Eleanor Hunter wills her ability to get along with people to Gene Bonnet. Alice Itamura wills her quiet mannerisms to Pat Keeney. fYou girls are so much alike.J Elizabeth Jahn wills her dimples to anyone that needs them. Virginia Johnson wills her iolly disposition and flighty moments to the iunior class to help their moral up. Ann McKinney wills her sweet disposition to Hilda Nortonen and we hope it will make hers twice as sweet. ii J Lola Obermeyer wills her manic phases to Ida Louis Horton in hopes she will rid herself of them. Ruby Ray wills her southern speed to Delores Hawkins so she won't run her legs off. Esther Sexton wills her ability to get along with the Nursing Office to Ramona Lew. Mary Ward wills her soft soap to supervisors and instructors to Shirley Dew. We would like very much to give more, but we wish to keep something for ourselves. . '74 A X 1 W gb.

At intervals packages filled with soap, clothing and games were sent. Since the class adopted were Seniors in training, graduation gifts of fountain pens were sent to each member of the class. A Expression of sincere appreciation was shown in the letters the student body received. It is our sincere desire that the student body will carry this light of true friendship in many other activities of this type. 76 Oflner .fgcfiuified We light our lamps Through Sports A most important part of the life of a student nurse is the time she spends participating in sports. While working in a team girls receive a greater. friendship, and a different association not gained anywhere else. Volley Ball and Basket Ball were the two main winter sports, with tennis and swimming in the summer and fall. Chorus A chorus composed of Freshman students has been very active this year. Singing for the Doctors Dinner, capping, and at churches, has given the girls a chance to serve in another manner. As director for this chorus, Miss Anna Marie Smith did a capable iob. Miss lola Tordoff was faculty advisor. Hats off to the director and the chorus for their successful season. San Piper The official paper of the Independence Sanitarium and Hospital ties each department together, ,and really -lets you know what is going on around the San. Everyone is asked to participate in making the San Piper a success. Supervisors Dinner This dinner is well on it's way to becoming an annual affair. Planned and cooked, by the Freshman nutrition class, it is enioyed by both guest and hostess. Committees are appointed to see that every detail is under control, As advisor for this project, Mrs. M.
