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.
