Evans He was a friend whose heart was good; Who walked with men and understood; His was a voice that spoke to cheer, And fell like music on the ear. His was a smile men loved to see; His was a hand that asked no fee For friendliness or kindness done. And now that he has journeyed on, His is a fame that never ends; He leaves behind uncounted friends. 7 HISTORY or JAMES WALKER MEMORIAL HOSPITAL The first brick was laid for James Walker Hospital May 22, 1900. The building was donated and erected by James Walker, a native of Douglas, Lanarkshire, Scotland, April 29, 1826. These words are inscribed on his tomb: “After a frugal and industrial life James Walker left to the af¬ flicted and suffering a lasting memorial of his beneficence in yonder hospital which bears his honored name.” He donated this hospital with the understanding that its management would never enter into politics, that no member of the board of managers could be appointed from either city or county government and that the city and county would guarantee to appropriate at all times sufficient funds to provide adequately for the care of the indigent sick. James Walker, the constructor of the hospital, died March 15, 1901, before the building was completed June 1, 1901. The first superintendent of the hospital was Dr. Thomas R. Little. The original building completely furnished for 50 patients still stands and is part of the hospital. Additions have been made to this building as the years have passed. Mr. W. H. Sprunt saw and realized the necessity of caring for the Negro in this city and county, and as a donation built a separate building for the care of these patients. This contained a ward with 52 beds and a dispensary on the first floor, and until 1921 the second floor was used for the nurses’ quarters. While it was not the intention of the hospital to receive patients with infectious diseases, such cases have to be cared for in certain in¬ stances, so Mr. Sam Bear, Jr., donated a separate building for these patients as a memorial to his brother in 1915. The third addition to the hospital was made by a generous benefaction of Mr. and Mrs. James Sprunt in 8 1917, who built as a memorial to their only daughter, Marion, an annex devoted to the care of maternity patients and children. This annex bears the name of Marion Sprunt. A new wing was added to the hospital in 1937, which increased the capacity of t he beds to 188. In 1943 the Federal government aided James Walker Memorial Hospital in the construction of an additional building. The administrative offices were moved to this new building from the original building in the early part of 1944. In this new building 120 patients may be cared for making James Walker Memorial Hospital a 300 bed hospital, exclusive of bassi¬ nettes. In the basement of the building is a separate dispensary for the treatment of white and Negro patients, a modern well equipped laboratory, drug room, and a morgue with equipment for the performance of autopsies. A new unit for isolated cases is on the first floor and will accommodate ten patients at one time. The second and third floors are used for ward and private room female patients. In memory of Dr. A. D. McClure, of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, the city of Wilmington donated $100,000 to build a modern nurses home to accommodate 50 nurses in 1921. It was necessary for the home to be enlarged in 1926, 1937 and 1943. A charter was granted the James Walker Memorial Hospital on February 5, 1903 to organize and maintain a school for nurses. The first superintend¬ ent was Miss Lilly Heller (Mrs. Thomas R. Little), of Greensboro, N. C., and the first graduating class was composed of Miss Florence Hayes (Mrs. Morris Caldwell ) of Wilmington, and Miss Alberta Robinson of Dunn. The James Walker Memorial Nursing School is an accredited school and is one of the largest nursing schools in North Carolina. Ernestine Howard, Hospital Historian. 9 OUR GOAL The function of the hospital in modern society is to assist in the task of conserving our greatest economic asset, the health of the nation. It also has obligation of training young women for citizenship and for the profession of nursing. Medical science has made amazing progress in its study of human disease and its treatment; no one would contend that medical science has completed this task. During the next decade great emphasis will be placed on nursing service measured by social needs; therefore, in the attempt of the general hospital to educate the young women of today for their role of tomorrow, it is also imperative that a proper understanding of the social conditions of the world be made an integral part of such an education. If you believe that the happiest people on earth are those whose am¬ bitions find a daily challenge to serve their fellowmen, and if you are con¬ vinced that you have the moral character, the intelligence and the never ceasing interest in serving others, let me wish for you a career of service dominated by your own perseverance to make happy someone who is sick or someone unable to help himself.

Taking the temperatures, giving the pills. To remedy mankind’s numberless ills. Feeding the baby, answering the bells Being polite with a heart that rebels. Longing for home and all the while Wearing the same old professional smile, Blessing the new born babe’s first breath. Closing the eyes that are still in death. Taking the blam.e for the doctor’s mistakes. Oh dear, what a lot of patience it takes, Going off duty at seven o’clock. Tired, discouraged and ready to drop. But called back on special at seven-fifteen. With woe in her heart, but it must not be seen Morning and eve ning, and noon and night. Just doing it over and hoping it’s right. When we lay down our caps and cross the bar, Oh Lord, will you give us just one little star. To wear in our crowns and uniforms new. In that city above where the Head Nurse is YOU. 23 a ISS SPONSORS R. Bryant Hare, Jr., M.D. Miss Mattie Fowler, R.N.

It’s like pulling teeth or missing church, Sure does leave us so berserk, To know we gotta hit the trail Or by a ticket and go by rail To each her own secluded way And from your portals forever stay. It’s been so wonderful and so much fun To keep some people on the run Yet be on duty at ten of time And help somebody who needs the kind Of care which has been so willingly taught to us— It makes us just wanta fuss. But every minute has been a new adventure Exciting, stimulating, and a mixture of smiles, cries, laughs, and tears Which has made these last three The very best years. Evelyn Whitfield, Class Poet. 38 a ISS HISTORY Three caps!! It didn’t take us long to distinguish between the three. We learned the first to reach for was the plain white one. We decided that while we worked for all this, there was plenty of fun await¬ ing us. We were not such a bad class, but we always would make pie-beds for the wrong people, ride up and down the halls in laundry baskets, and one would think we were never taught to go to bed. Outside of all the heavy studying, we had many interesting family histories to go over time and time again. How proud we were when we were asked to be in charge of the Christmas pageant. We fixed the stage, we dressed the tree, and the program couldn’t have been better. It was such a nice program and we enjoyed working on it very much. There is a certain feeling in store for every girl when she first gets her cap and bib. Our feelings were mutual. In our junior year we were settled enough to think about class officers. Our President “Lib” Ashworth could have been no other. Dr. Hare and Miss Fowler were selected as class sponsors! They have been wonderful. Another important event of the year was our Junior and Senior Banquet and dance. Things like these will stay in our memory for quite a long time. We had three men at our banquet, but oh! it was fun! We were a little different from the preceding classes, we had our banquet and dance on two separate nights. Both were thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. One day we noticed a sign on the bulletin board. The Superintendent of Nurses wanted a personal interview with every member of the class of ’48. What had we done? We didn’t know either, but much to our pleasant surprise we received our Senior Bands. Our heads were heavy (with the bands that is). We all fully realized our responsibilities were increasing all the time. Our minds worked over time for any new ideas for our annual. One of our greatest desires was to have one of the best ever to prove our gratitude and respect to our Alma Mater. Raffling cakes was one of our old standbys for making money, and we made full use of it too. Parting was such sweet sorrow, it took all the backbone we had, but since we knew the best was yet in store it was a little easier. We extend our most grateful appreciation to every one who helped make our road smooth and encouraged us on when home was so tempting. There’s plenty more, but why go on. I hear the Bell’s of the future chiming, “Come one. Come all,” so come dear classmates we’ve made the best of it. Here’s to our future. Winifred Quinn, Class Historian. 39 CMSS PROPHECY February 6 Some years later Dear Mary: While looking over some newspaper clippings that I’ve saved since we graduated from James Walker a few years ago, I thought you might like to know what has happened to some of our classmates, so I decided to write this letter. Here is a recent clipping: “Elizabeth Ashworth has accepted the position as college nurse at Montreat.” I guess she and Marjorie Isenhower will see a lot of each other now that “Ike” is a supervisor of the maternity ward at Hickory Hospital, which isn’t far from Montreat. While shopping down town one day last week I met Mary Taylor who has been Dr. Robertson’s private scrub nurse in the operating room since completing her post-graduate course a year ago. She told me that Sarah Ballard, Allison Bennett, Dorothy High, and Frances Griffin were doing industrial nursing in Chicago, and enjoying the “Night Life” there immensely. Here is another clipping I’ve had a few weeks: “Ozelle Mallard has accepted the position as Director of Nursing Education at the Los Angeles General Hospital.” Last week I was over on Marion Sprunt to see Mazelle Guyton who has a little “Floyd Jr.” and who should be Supervisor of Marion Sprunt but Ruby Henry! Joyce Andrews is doing general duty in the nursery and Norma Dawson has taken V.D.P.’s place as supervisor of Contagion, Ward B, Colored Ward, and Emergency. She must give the students a rough time when they are assigned to her floors. Carmelle Watkins, Winifred Quinn, and Winifred Bell are in Miami Beach, Florida. Carmelle is doing Public Health Nursing and the two “Winnies” are doing private duty. Looks like they’ll stick together as they did in training. Muriel Jackson and Eleanor Johnson are working in Fayetteville at Highsmith’s. Jackson is Supervisor of the Maternity Ward and Johnnie is doing private duty. I guess Johnnie will be going to Pennsylvania soon to marry Don. 40 I saw Dot Peacock at Carolina Beach last summer with her same gang from Fremont. She has been working with the home town Doctor since leaving here. Guess you remember how hard it use to be for her to stay away from “Moms” when she was at James Walker. Julia White and Leroy were married Christmas. She went to California after finishing training and waited for him to finish college. Marie Winberry and Jack were married shortly after she finished training. She told me the other day that Ernestine Howard was teaching Nursing Arts at Watts Hospital in Durham, and that Agnes Norris is doing General Duty on S. W. 2 here. Guess who I heard singing on the radio the other day? Jacqueline Bussey! She’s in New York now and has given up nursing for singing—strictly opera. I always thought her voice would take her places. Edith Holton and Mary Harrell are working in Buffalo, New York. They married marines they met while in training. Gilda and Gloria Whitfield are back at James Walker after working in Char¬ lotte. Seems that they are still the wondering type. I guess you knew that Evelyn Price and I are next door neighbors at Princess Place? She, Ferd, Robert and 1 are planning a trip to Florida soon. Frances Sholar and Pauline Wray came to visit us while on their vacation last July. Both are working in New York modeling nurses uniforms. They are the same old two-timing heartbreakers. They said Evelyn Whitfield was an airline hostess from New York to Florida. You know she always did make big air castles. Peggy Summerlin is home on vacation. She has been teaching Professional Adjustments at the University of Maryland. Well Mary, this covers about everybody I think. We wouldn’t have believed this a few years back, would we? I’ll have to close now, Robert, Jr., is crying. Write and tell me all about yourself. Always, Ann Swain (Hahn). 41 LAST WILL Am TESTAMENT December 1947.
