M The Senior Class of JAMES WALKER MEMORIAL HOSPITAL SCHOOL OF NURSING presents oj 1965 Its Theme: Class Motto: To thine ownself be true, thou cans’t not then be false to any man. 1 I solemnly pledge myself before God, and in the presence of this assembly, To pass my life in purity and to practice my profession faithfully. I will abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous, and will not take or knowingly administer any harmful drug. I will do all in my power to maintain and elevate the standards of my profession, and will hold in confidence all personal matters com¬ mitted to my keeping and all family affairs coming to my knowledge in the practice of my profession. With loyalty will I endeavor to aid the physician in his work, and devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care. 2 MRS. LAURA MURRAY It is with a great deal of admiration and respect that the annual staff of the 1965 EPITOME dedicates our annual to our favorite housemother- - MRS. LAURA MURRAY. One of our earliest memories of our new life at James Walker is the helpfulness, warmth, and friendliness of ’’Murray. Throughout our three years, she has constantly been a source of companionship, advice, and mothering. This token of our appreciation is small, but it encompasses the hearts of eighteen girls who wish to say, Mrs. Murray, we love you, and thanks. 3 HISTORY OF IjOalker Wl moricil dud i cUooL cl Before James Walker Memorial Hospital was organized in 1901, there were two other hospitals in this community. They were the W. W. Lane Hospital, es¬ tablished in 1875, and City Memorial Hospital, founded in 1881. This building was built and equipped by Mr. James Walker, a native of Scotland. He presented it to the city of Wilmington and New Hanover County with the following provisions: That the management would forever remain free from political control; that the city and county would appropriate sufficient sums of money for the care of indigent sick and injured of said city and county. Mr. Walker was a philanthropist and a genuine benefactor, whose life ' s work may be summed upas, After a frugal and industrious life, he left to the afflicted and suffering a lasting memorial of his beneficence in yonder hospital which bears his honored name — The inscription found on his monument in Oakdale Cemetery. The original building, completely furnished for fifty patients, still stands as a part of the present building. A Board of Managers was appointed, three members by Mr. Walker, three memb ers from the county, and three members from the city. Today new members are appointed by the Board of Managers. The first Superinten¬ dent was Dr. Thomas R. Little. As the years have passed additions to this building have been made. A ward consisting of thirty-five beds, was built for the colored patients. This wing origin- allyincluded the dispensary and until 1921 the second floor was the Nurses ' Quarters. This addition was the donation of Mr. W. H. Sprunt, who saw the need for such a division for the colored people of Wilmington and New Hanover County. In 1915, Mr. Samuel Bear gave as a donation the Contagious Ward, named the Bear Building. This building was demolished about 1942 or 1943. The Contagion Unit was moved to what was known as East Wing I and later moved to the Marion Sprunt Annex. Part of the present Nurses ' Home is located on the original site of the Bear Building. The third addition made to James Walker Memorial Hospital was in 1917, the Marion Sprunt Annex, a maternity and Children ' s Ward of thirty-three beds. Money for this addition was furnished by Dr. James Sprunt in memoriam to his daughter, Marion, whose name it bears. A new wing was added to the other end of the original building in 1939, which increased the capacity of the hospital to one hundred and eighty-five beds. In 1943, the Federal Government aided James Walker Memorial Hospital in the construction of additional buildings. There was a Ward D holding approximately thirty beds which was made into our now present linen room. The administrative offices were moved to this new building from the original building in the early part of 1944. In this new building one hundred and twenty patients may be cared for 4 making James Walker Memorial Hospital a three hundred bed hospital, exclusive of bassinettes. Other changes taking place in 1944 included the moving of the Operating Room from the attic of the original building to its present location on the third floor, south wing. The Maternity Division was moved from what is now our Lower Hall B and Ward B, to the second floor and its present location on the south wing. Ward B or Children’s Ward, was moved from the third floor to its new location. In its old location is the Medical Library, Medical Records, and Dr. L. B. Mason ' s office. In the basement of the building was a separate dispensary for the treatment of white and Negro patients, a modern wall-equipped laboratory, physical therapy, cancer clinic, morgue with equipment for the performance of autopsies. All of these vari¬ ous departments remain in the basement except for the cancer clinic along with the medical clinic, surgical, pediatric and obstetric clinics. These departments are now located in the basement of the Nurses ' Home where the old Education Depart¬ ment was located. In the last part of 1963 the Education Department was completely redecorated with larger and more modern classrooms. It was moved to the third floor of the Nurses ' Home. When this was done, work began on the old classrooms to convert them into a spacious and well-equipped Out Patient Department. This was accomplished in the last part of 1964. A little before this in 1963, the contagion ward on the old East Wing I was rebuilt with wall suctions, blood pressure apparatus on the walls, and other modern facilities. This area was designed for acutely ill pa¬ tients and was named the Intensive Care Unit, or I.C.U. In July of this same year preparations were made for an I.V. Cart. This consist of a cart loaded with glucose, intravenous sets, and apparatus for the giving of blood. Mrs. Margaret Martinis the nurse who makes at least four trips to the various floors during the day. In 1963 the Prep Team was set up for preparing the patients for surgery -- the full value of this team is seen on the 3-11 shift. Our newest change in the hospital came in May of 1965 when the Colored Ward was changed to the William Sprunt Ward. Seeing the changes that have taken place in the hospital let ' s turn our thoughts back in time a bit and see the development of the Nurses ' Home. In 1921 it was lo¬ cated over the Colored Ward where it became too crowded and the need for a sepa¬ rate Nurses ' Home was realized. This time the city of Wilmington desired to erect a permanent memorial to Mr. A. V. McClure of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church. The Nursing School was close to the heart of Dr. McClure, so the city of Wilmington donated $100, 000 as a Memorial to be used to build a modern Nurses ' Home to accom¬ modate fifty nurses. In 1926, the number of nurses had so increased that the home had to be enlarged. In 1937, the capacity of the home was increased and again in 1943. On February 5, 1901, a Charter was granted to James Walker Memorial Hos¬ pital to organize and maintain a school of nursing. The first Superintendent was Miss Lillie Heller (Mrs. Thomas R. Little). The first class was composed of two stu¬ dents, Miss Florence Hayes (Mrs. Morriss Caldwell) and Miss Alberta Robinson. Mrs. Caldwell has the distinction of being the first nurse to obtain a certificate of registration issued to a graduate nurse trained in a North Carolina School. She was registered in New Hanover County, July 1, 1903. The second class was made up of three stu dents and each year the number has increased. On September 11, 1950, there were one hundred and three students in the student body. 5 The first students were required to spend two years in the school. The time spent on duty during the day was twelve hours. One and one-half hours were spent off duty for recreation. The class work consisted of lectures by the visiting doctors, the Superintendent, the Directors of Nurses and the Dietition. Classes were held each night during the winter months. The time required in training during the pre¬ sent time is three years or 1095 days. An average of thirteen hundred hours or more is spent in the classroom. The student has an eight hour day including class and time on duty. The faculty is composed of nurses, doctors, and the faculty of Wilmington College for the Sciences. The student ' s work is correlated along with the subjects she is taking during that particular quarter. For three months the stu¬ dents affiliate with Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh, North Carolina, for training in Psychiatry. The students first affiliated with the State Hospital in 1954. On May 11, 1923, the Alumni Association was started and was reorganized in 1928. The first officers were: President, Lois Toomer, 1908; First Vice President, Florence Caldwell, 1903; Second Vice President, Helen Heriton Armstrong, 1910; Recording Secretary, May Houston, 1907; Corresponding Secretary, Jessie Stewart Rehder, 1904; Treasurer, Mattie McCullen, 1911. The directors were Lena Foyes Allen, 1911, and Mollie Hulton Boney, 1913. The Charter Members were: Lillian George, 1915; Mattie McCullen, 1911; Evelyn Armstrong Blanchard, 1914; Lossie Cotchett L5nich, 1918; Mattie Cutchen Burton, 1916; Georgia Ezzell, 1914; Augusta Futch, 1918; May Houston, 1907; Pearl Fogles Nixon, 1907; Lois Toomer, 1908; Gertrude Pietiway, 1908. Six of the origi¬ nal members are still living. In 1935 t he James Walker cap was changed to its present style and shape. Another interesting fact about the Nursing School is that the students at one time were required to wear black hose and black shoes. In 1942, the Director of Nursing, Miss Black, who was here only one month, had this changed to white shoes and stockings. James Walker Memorial Hospital School of Nursing is an accredited school and was one of the largest schools of nursing in North Carolina. The total number of graduates from this school since the beginning of the school is 1044, not including the present senior class. After the seniors graduate on August 25, 1965, there will only be one remaining class to graduate from James Walker Memorial Hospital School of Nursing as it is now. There is a two year associate degree program in co-operation with Wilmington College who will call themselves James Walker Mem¬ orial Associate Degre e Program. But the James Walker School of Nursing as we know it today will no longer exist in material form. The memories, the pride and the love for old J.W.M.H. will linger in the hearts and minds of its graduates as long as they shall live. What will happen to James Walker Memorial Hospital in the future when the new county hospital is built? Well, no one knows at present. But had it not been made possible by James Walker many years ago this community would have surely been deprived of a much needed hospital institution. The buildings may be destroyed or crumble to the ground from old age, but the spirit of James Walker Hospital will forever be remembered by those who hold its memories as a part of their lives. Maybe some day someone will look back and say, James Walker Memorial Hospital, now THERE was a hospital, and I tell you. 6 c cLminlitrcition MR. ROBERT MARTIN Hospital Director MR.

After two long years, we are finally here. Along with the honor of our Senior band also came the responsibilities of our new position and work, work, work. Among our more pleasant memories are our first big event of our Senior year -- our Junior Senior banquet and prom. The Juniors did a splendid job and everyone had a marvelous time. Then there was our sun-filled week at the beach made possible by our wonderful doctors. Our last big social event -- the Senior dance is an activity which every Senior looks forward to. Too soon our wonderful year as Seniors will be gone and we will be graduate nurses, and soon Registered Nurses. Our three years at J.W.M.H. will be in the past, but our memories will be always in our hearts. 20 PHYLLIS JEAN CAMPBELL Beaulaville, N. C. Brown eyes a ' twinklin’ with mischief.

Reason and judgment are the qualities of a good leader.” 26 27 ropkecy Since we, Pris and Laurie, were assigned to prophesy the future of the graduating class of 1965, we decided the best way to do this was to jump into our time machine, loaned to us by Cape Kennedy and see first hand what each member of our angelic class would be doing in the year 1985. With sheer anxiety and anticipation we climbed into our machine, closed the hatches, and turned the controls to Wilmington, North Carolina, 1985. When we stepped out we were amazed to find our¬ selves in the lobby of an ultra-modern space hospital located on the former site of our dearly beloved JAMES WALKER MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. Rather lost and confused we were overjoyed to see the familiar face of the former Lewellyn Jackson, now the Director of Nursing Service of this grand hospital. After exchanging hellos we ex¬ plained our mission and Lew agreed to show us around the hospital and catch us up on what our class was now doing. First she took us to the large Psychiatric ward where the former Nan Paul was supervisor. Nan was happily married and has two boys. Nan told us that she had recently heard from Josie Laffiteau who is now a nurse stewardess on Piedmont Air Lines. Josie flies from Goldsboro, North Carolina, to Miami Beach, Florida, twice a week. We understood that she really likes her work and has a wonderful suntan. While on the way to the Surgical ward Lew told us that our classmate Jean Campbell was no longer working because she wanted to stay home with Jimmy and their six children. Upon arrival in Surgery, we found Meredith Jordan, who is head nurse. Meredith told us that aside from taking care of Robert and the children that she was instructing a new group of freshman students. As we continued our tour we found Nan Talbot on the Pediatric ward. Nan is clinical instructor there. We also found that she gets all her information first hand. Nan told us that Helen Smith had gotten her degree and was nursing in Germany. Since it was about ten o ' clock we stopped in the cafeteria where we met Jane Mitchell and learned that she was married, has three children, and had just moved into a fabulous new home. Brenda Potter came in and told us that she now had two children besides Mark. Brenda told us that she was working on one of the Medical-Surgical floors. From Brenda, we learned that Mary McCullen was living in Raleigh. Both she and James are working at Dorothea Dix and looking after the children. Since time was pressing and we had to move on we went next to the Maternity floor where Rachel Hollis is now head nurse. Rachel seemed happy to have E. J. back in the states even though he has made a career of the Army. About that time, Jean Furr walked out of the Nursery and told us of her boys and Jimmy ' s work with music. Jean also told us that Anita Edwards had achieved her goal of being a flight nurse and loves the Air Force. We walked onto the Intensive Care Unit where Linda Hinson is supervisor. Linda and Bert now have three children that take up all their spare time. Seems they manage to get to the beach once in a while. We asked Linda about Sylvia Herring. She told us that Sylvia had made it to Washington and was working in a Veteran ' s Hospital there. While talking to Linda, we also found out that the former Jeanette Wood was very happy living in California. She has two children but is still working. Most surprising of all on our trip into the future we had a look at ourselves. Laurie found that the pencil trick did work. She and Benny have their twin boys and also another boy and a girl. Laurie was working in Goldsboro as head nurse in delivery. Pris had a great shock when she saw that not only had she gotten a husband but also five child¬ ren. It ' s good that she worked on Pediatrics at Duke for so long. The time came for us to return to the present after such a short look at the future. We said farewell to Lew and reentered the time machine. Once again we set the dials but this time to Wil¬ mington, North Carolina, 1965. Yes, our class had lived up to the standards that our school had set, but in the midst of all the success and happiness we had found a nostalgic remembrance of our gone but not forgotten JAMES WALKER MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AND SCHOOL OF NURSING.
