THE NIGHTINGALE 1938 I solemnly pledge myself before God and this assemblyg to dedicate my life wholly unto God and to purify my life according' to the Holy Scriptures and His Divine VVill. I will abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischiev- ous and will not take or knowingl y administer any harnes- ful drug. I will do all in my power to elevate the standard of my profession and will hold in confidence all personal mat- ters cormnitted to my keeping' and all family affairs com- ing to my knowledge in the practice of my profession. I will not knowingly deny the poor any service within my power to give. IVitl1 loyalty will I endeavor to aid the physician in his work, and devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care. VVith humility of mind and spirit I shall devote my life to the service of Christ as the Iiord through the Church may guide me.

But careful analysis will prove this position false. The Church is Cliristls body, a group of men united in fellowship on the platform of simple faith and obedience to God through Jesus Christ the Savior. It is an organization built by Christ. Science is a knowledge of the facts, the laws, and processes of nature. God is the creator of all nature and the laws and facts about nature. Since God is the creator of both the Church and nature they cannot be in conflict with each other. ln rnedieal science the laws of nature are applied in the art of healing. The principles of the Church create compassion and kindness toward the sick. Medical science provides the Church with knowledge for a more helpful ininistry to the sick. A conflict between the Church and science is only possible when each is falsely so called. If either departs from the knowledge of the Creator, a harmonious relation is impossible. Since, however, our knowledge of science is limited by our mental limitations, med- ical science is not an absolutely accurate science. But the Church by her compassion encourages study, investigation, and experi- mentation which will make possible the nearest possible approach to perfection in the art of healing. The Church recognizes the eternal value of the soul. Since the body is the temple of the soul, this attitude of the Church puts soberness into the program of ministering to the body. 'Under the influence of the Church medical science is elevated to the greatest possible degree of careful effort. WVith the aid of medical science the Church is able to more effectively minister to the body. Niles Qt. cgi, 1918-38 -1 ..... THE NIGHTINGALE 1938 Tl1e rising of 1'1L11'Sl11g' as a profession has paralleled soniewliat tl1e development of niedicine as a science 211111 profession. In the days of p1'1n11t1Ve and 1HS1L111C171VG eare of 1il1Q sick, little or no distiiiction was inade between nursing and 1110111011161 As inedieal lniowledge advanced, the care of the sick was lifted to a nobler plane and today the Work of cariiig' for the ill, aged, or disabled is classed with 1nedici11e as a11 honorable profession. The knowledge of tl1c nurse may he tliought of, 11ot as different from the pl1ysieian's, but applied with definite liniitations. Tl1e tieelinics 11sed i11 nursing' 211111 inedieine are niutualg which 111111 to positive health. Neither prevent a11d cure disease Elllfl proniote profession can sec11re the H1OSt coveted results without the other, for tl1e1r 1I1fll1011CC-3 is reciprocal. T11e i11fl11ence of niedicine on nursing' l1as been Very noticable th1'ougl1011t tl1e years. The standards of niedical ethies have been shared to a large degree by both professioiis. As one 1l1'l1'SG writer has said, Some of tl1e fi11est things which niedicine stands for, are its high se11se of respoiisihility for llulllall life, its scorn of quackery 3,1161 self advertisiiig, its serupulousness i11 g'l1il1't1l11g.L' the personal confidence of patients, and its 11s11al, SO111Cfll110S perliaps exaggerated, se11se of loyalty to professional colleagues. These saine principles are a part of the 111118675 code of ethics. Nursing' is a factor in niedieine which ea1111ot be over-estiniated. No country can ineasure up to its inedieal respo11si11ility unless it has at its disposal a11 intelligent well-trained body of nurses. At one time tl1e idea was held that the nurse was the servant of tl1e physi- cia11. This is soniewhat inisleadingl She is rather 'tthird eye to the physician, endeayoringi to aid 111111 with the spirit of loyalty to alleviate huinan sufferiiig and to a1111i11ilate disease. -i-he Relation of Nursing to thefvleciiccil Profession Mary Frey, '27, '35 Mary Frey, 728, Direetoi' of N1I1'Sl11Q.L' Service Horn at Sterling.

THE N IGHTINGALE 1938 On the evening of December 9, 1927, a meeting of the physicians of La Junta and Rocky Ford was called by the superintendent of the hospital, Allen Erb. The purpose of this meeting was to or- ganize an association of physicians so that they might work in unison toward the hetierinenl of the hospital and physicians. The first objective of this organization was to meet the recom'- rnendations of the American College of Surgeons for a standard hospital. By the end of the second year all requirements were met and the hospital was placed among the class A hospitals of America. The aims of this organization are to secure and maintain a high standard of medical and surgical efficiency and to aid in the scien- tific advancement of its members. The meetings of this staff are held once each month for the purpose of engaging in a scientific discussion and for the consideration of all matters concerning the Welfare of the hospital. These discussions consist of case studies on unusual deaths, unfavorable or tardy conyalescense, and un- usual or unique cases. Frequently illustrated lectures are given with the aid of slides, reels, and X-ray films. As a school of nursing, we feel justified for the high esteem in which we hold our medical staff. Vfe feel that each physician takes a personal interest in the school and in his responsibility as an instructor of nurses. Because of their influence our students are led to form high ideals of the medical profession. In addition to the physicians represented in the preceding pages, the following are also associate meinbers: Dr. J. A. Lawson, Dr. U. J. Pitney, Dr. Stanley, Dr. Desmond, Dr. M. A. Farnsworth. STM: We THE NIGHTINGALE 1938 The greatest development in the past twenty years in the field of medicine and the care of the sick and injured has been the stand- ardization of hospitals. ln the past a person who needed hospitali- zation away from home had a fear, sometimes justly founded, that he might not get the care necessary for a good recovery. Today he may go to any Standard Hospital approved by the American College of Surgeons and feel that the equipment is adequate and the staff comptent. The building of hospitals for from thirty to one hundred beds equipped to meet the approved requirements has developed cap- able clinics in rather small eonmninities. However, these will not take the place of the laboratories of the great- Foundations such as Rockefeller and Carneige have created, or of research Departments of our universities, which will continue to make advances in phy- siological and chemical analysis. Progress in bacteriology and pathology, both in diagnosis and methods of treatment, will be the result of comparison of reports from thousands of hospitals. In the United States today with the transportation available to all, there is a constant intcimingling of people. On this account we must guard against general epidemics. Our safety depends upon better knowledge of what is prevalent in each community, and sanitary measures that will prevent spread of diseases. The careful diagnosis of each ease, demanded in a Standard Hospital, often becomes a real contribution in compiling statistics and may lead to definite scientific medical progress.

ViIith a final pin to my cap, I gather together what fortitude, cour- age, wisdom, cheerfulness and ingenuity that I can muster, for these are troublesome times, and depart to take up the duties of the day. I wonder what has become of the 'tgood old dayst' when only one nurse was needed to care for all the patients on Medical Floor? I have just received word that there are two Hpink eyes enroute to the Hospital. Where shall I put them? Already we are full to overflowing. And these youngsters must be isolated in a room by themselves. However, we do not do as the inkeeper of old, rudely turn them away, neither do we have an Aladdin lamp with which we can call forth beds and space as we desire. IVe use that which God gave us, our minds and bodies, to deal with such problems. From within some dim recess of my brain I visualize our oxygen storeroom bereft of its equipment and in its place two little cribs. Before long I see it in reality. But, ah, the two little pink eyes do not appreciate our ministry. They kick, they scream, they cry. To myself I say, Now is. the time to apply the psychology I so painstakingly learned. Finally, they have quieted. I feel repaid for my psychological endeavors. But did I overhcar some one say, 4'Psychology, hump, it's only exhaustion. New I shall have a few minutes to spend with the patient in 225, who receives a few new flowers each day. To her they are active living things: She can tell about each variety, their family history, upon what food they thrive, and in what environment they show forth their best qualities. It is refreshing to spend a few minutes with her. I-Iark! The emergency bell rings! Two cars have collided on the highway. The police have brought the men in for us to sew to- gether. The gory sight must be reduced to respectability. Scalp la- cerations sutured, bruises bandaged, abrasions brightened with mercuroelirome, and spirits ministered unto with words of sympa- thy and encouragement. There are messages to send to those at home assuring them of the well being of their loved ones. At this time I take a few minutes to make note of a suggestion which my fancy dictates to me to present at the next Staff meeting, that of submitting for their consideration the desirability of estab- lishing a library of light reading to be used as a means of diversion for expectant fathers. My sympathies were aroused earlier in the evening upon seeing a young man with such aspirations agitatedly sieze a medical dictionary, the only book about, and begin assidu- ously to read from the front, then from the back, and once, I believe I saw it upside down. It is ten-thirtv and time to make 'trounds . The hospital is rela- tively quiet. Seldom is there complete quiet, for somewhere a babgf is crying, seine one moaning in pain, the babbling of delirium, and occasionally one hears a healthy snorc. I linger a moment and offer a prayer for the patient in 22O,for her days are few. The children in the ward are struggling in rebellion as the nurse inserts needles for a. hypodermoelysis. The two Hpink eyes have become resigned to hospital routine and are peacefully sleeping. Our day's work is finished.-we go to the kitchen where around the table we drop the heavy cares of the day. lVe enjoy the satisfaction of having done something for others and commit our work of pa- tience to our God and Father. itis in 0 Doyis Work arily Yoder N Maude Egli Swartzendruber R.

Mcrle ZH'l'lI'Tlel'I'TlOn RGGTS Medical Technologist THE NIGHTINGALE 1938 The hospital without a school of nursing naturally depends solely upon graduate nursing service g the hospital maintaining a school of nursing does not rely so completely on the graduateg by eniploy- ing graduates in conjunction with the student nurse, the nursing service is inuch better stabilized. Wle are realizing niore and inore that a student nurse cannot be expected to carry the load of class work required in our nursing curricuhun today and continue to be responsible for the entire nursing service of the hospital. The field of general staff nursing is receiving greater eniphasis in the nursing world. lt is considered the foundation of the clirnb to higher institutional positions. There are nuinerable advantages which a general staff nurse has over other types of nursing. Among these are such as steady ernployinent with regular hoursg oppor- tunities for additional education and nursing experienceg brushing up on nursing proceduresg privilege of contacting patients in bed- side nursing. During the past few years we have been striving to build up a gen- eral staff service in our hospital. Due to various causes there has been sonie difficulty in supplying adequate nurses for this staff. However, we feel sure that we can depend on our nurses to help us nieet this situation. The hospital sincerely appreciates the service given by nurses in the past. s 8 as 'f asf .,... V ff' 1 .V 1. -1f vi.: -,+-741 - 5 ..,,V: . G , A . V . V. nf.-... .. , , .- .LV 1 Q V.

It has been found necessary to revise our program from year to year to nieet the needs of the student and the state requireinents. lilach year is divided into two terni periods of approxi- mately lli weeks each. The entire first year is considered as introductory, with the first six nronths designated as the preliniinary period. By the end of this time both the student and the school should know fairly well who is fitted for the woiyk of nursing. The different kinds of activities provided for in our eurriculuin areq a. organized instruction tclasses, labora- tory work, elinicsj g b. nursing experience tobservation and practice on the wardjg c. study tineluding case study and individual conferencesj, d. extra-professional activities tphvsical exercise, student council, social, religious, and recreationalj. The teaching staff consists of a full time instructor in inirsing arts, a full tinie instructor in the basic sciences, staff doctors who lecture on the various special diseases, and supervisors of the various departnients who supple- nient lectures with class discussion and deinonstrations on the nursing care of these diseases. Our Superintendent, Bro. ltlrb, teaches the Bible classes each year. Nine inonths of clinical and theoretical experience is obtained through affiliation with the Denver Gieneral Hos- pital School of Nursing and Colorado University Hospital School of ,Nursingg Denver, Colorado.

After the first few days we indeed questioned our ability to reaffli that goal which was so far away. Our first appearanee in uniforins and eaps, first baths given on the ward, first hypos, first night duty and nianv other Hfirstsw brought a feeling of satisfaction which will never be forgotten. lVe were progressing. The second year brought doetor's lectures and other Classes, also speeial serviees in the operating room, obstetrical departnient and Tuberculosis sanitariurn. These meant long, hard hours but We were rewarded, by inany new and interesting' experiences. The third year niarked still another niile post when we went to Denver for six inonths of study at Denver General Hospital and three niouths at Colorado Psvehopathie Hospital. These Courses were very valuable and rnueh enjoyed but what a thrill to again re- turn to our own Alma Mater, Along' with our vvork we enjoyed many periods of recreation-pai2 ties, pienies, literaries, trips to Royal Gorge, Garden of the Gods, Bible Institute, and of eourse, best of all, sununer vacations at our various homes. lVe paint ourselves, the joy, the fear of which the eoniing' life is inade, - And in the field of destiny, we reap as We have sown.

The association with specialists and the excellent theoretical in- struction have given us valuable experience. In pediatrics we specialize in the care and prevention of children's diseases. It is essential equipment for an intelligent nurse to have specific preparation in child training' and in the mental develop-A ment and hygiene of the child. The fundamental principles of nurs- ing children are the same as those for adults, but the application of the principles differ. Gynecology, preparation of special diets, and the care of emer- gencies are all included in our six months at the Denver General Hospital. Psychiatry at Colorado University Psychopathic Hospital offers experience in a comparatively new field. We work with sick per- sonalities and watch people with unsocial behavior react to scien- tific treatment. Wie have many good times in Denver. Cur professional problems are left behind as we hike to the Rockies not far away and enjoy their beauty. Friends visit us and together we enjoy places of interest. We experience a void in our inner life because of the absence of our own Church in the city. However, other Churches welcome Us and we receive spiritual inspiration.

But that doesr1't keep us from having plenty of class spirit or from having good times together. Just let us get started reminiscing once and you'll be eonvineed with us that the proverbial Jolly Juniors is not a misnomer. There was the time we ate beans blindfolded while the erstwhile Juniors tore up our rooms, and our trip to the hills for breakfast after a roundabout treasure hunt. By the way, girls, do you know where the bridge by the pond is? Of eourse we'll always remem- ber the 'tfirsts with the aeeompanying mistakes and agony. And our brief eourse in Phunology was long enough to leave a host of memories. Then we 'll not forget our trip to the sand hills with Lois and John. These, and many other lively portraits go in our gallery of Freshmen days. Witli the Junior year eame more responsibilities and more work. However, looking backward, the long hours spent in surgery and the times the telephone rang for us along about two A. M. when we were in obstetries are not unpleasant. VVe must eonfess to the pleasurable thrill of working when others were sleeping!that is if it didn't last too long. Classes-we'll pass over them briefly with a sideglanee to valiant efforts to keep awake and a general vague question, will I remember that until State Board? Memories, hosts of them are ours to Carry through the years. The bittersweet experienees of these two years with the third year to follow are mellowed and made rieh by the artistry of Time.

D . , -f . 7 Samtarium five nules west ot Tia Junta was dedicated to care for people afflicted with tuberculosis. As the Work of the Sanitarium grew and the number of patients increased, the problem of trained help became difficult. The first plan advised by the board of directors was to establish a short course of practical nursing. This proved inadequate and the board accepted the recommendation of the Secretary of the State Board of Nurse Examiners to give a three and one-lialf year course with affiliation in a recognized school. Plans were made to affiliate at Denver General Hospital and The Mennonite School of Nursing which was to have recognition by the nursing' profession came into existence. Several years later the Mennonite Board of Missions and Chari- ties Was asked to take over the work of the City Hospital, and January 1, 1920, marks the beginning' of the Mennonite Hospital. A glimpse into the sanitarium at this time was interesting. Thirty or forty patients were cared for by a few nurses. Similar conditions arose at the hospital, frequently all rooms were occupied and the halls were lined with beds to accommodate the patients, The crowd- ed condition of both hospital and sanitarium and the need of nurses interested in the profession led to a reconsideration of establish-- ing' a general hospital. Solicitation work began in 1925 and on April 13, 1927, actual work of excavation for our present buildings was started. The sanitarium was completed and occupied January 1, 1928, On April 8, 1928, our new hospital was dedicated to the welfare of the sick in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Thus was pledged our consecration to God for the care of the sick. To- day We think of the hospital as erected by God through the Church in the spirit of sacrifice and free-will offering: Our aim is not only to minister efficiently to the sick body but to bring' the sin-sick soul to the healing of the Great Physician. There has been a steady growth in the Work during' the past ten years and as we look into the future we see our services still fur- ther enlarged. ' THE NIGHTINGALE 1938 To those who have been privileged to observe the growth and prog- ress of our institution from its beginning, the following figures will be of special interest. The census on the day of the opening of the Old Sanitarium in 1908 was 3 patients, a small beginning. But steadily through the years this number has increased until within recent months our bed capacity has been inadequate for the needs of our patients. April 1, 1936lApril 1, 1937 Admitted during the year 1240 Medical patients 367 Surgical patients 351 Cbstetrical patients 156 Newborn 150 Tuberculosis patients 21 Pediatric patients 162 Surgical operations 517 QSurgical operations month of March 701 Meals served in dining room 49,432 Hospital trays served 26,873 Sanitarium trays served 15,750 331 Guests served Efforts in personal work 2,783 fl Confessions Baptisms .9 2 The month of February of this year was the busiest month in the history of the institution. The pediatric census was exceptionally high due to a high morbidity among the children of the community. If we had facilities for the proper care of communicable diseases, we could have accomodated a number of such patients.

THE NIGHTINGALE 1938 Since our last Nightingale was published, we have added new equipment and our Hospital grounds have been beautitied in var- ious ways. On the west side of the Sanitariuni is a eeinent floor, with a flower garden bordering it, where patients inay linger to watch the western sun slip down behind the distant mountain peaks. .Blue Spruce add to the beauty of the Sanitariurn lawn. In the center of the Court of the ambulance drive is a unique rock garden with a lily pool at the one end. The pool is surrounded with decorative native rocks and Flowering shrubs and cactus are seat- tered here and there. New laboratory equipment consists of a new Spencer rnicroseope, and an Eleetroecardiograph. Three oxygen tents with niotors and srnall portable oxygen tank carriers have greatly facilitated speci- fic treatment with oxygen therapy. Rubber wheeled carts for trays have been added to eaeh ward and the isolation unit of the nursery contains a new sink with running' water and supply cupboards. Surgery boasts of a carbon dioxide tank with inhalator for post anesthesia application, an additional table and supply cupboard in the niinor operating rooni, a lhoinpkins Deluxe Rotary Suction Machine, and to the iracture equipnient has been added a De Puy Reducing Frame and Splint Appliance. Many of these appliances have been given to us by friends, aluninae, and ineinbers of the Medical Start. lwlVe thank you for your share in aiding us to niore efficiently ininister to those who coine for aid. -1 E- - ' Lil-lii THE NIGHTINGALE 1938 GSSTOOIT1 X-FCly CllDOVCl+Ol 7 xygen TSH+ THE N IGHTI NGALE 1938 UFSCF 7 Gperafin Room THE NIGHTINGALE 1938 In the early part of the ninteenth century the diagnosis of tu- berculosis was a verdict of death. At that time the patient was shut up in a hot room so Hhe wouldn't catch cold. Before many years the medical profession learned that living in the open air was by far more pleasant and healthful for the tuberculosis patient. Credit is given to Dr. ldldward L. Trudeau, a young American physician, for establishing the first sanitarium in America. He carried out the rest and fresh air treatment. The causative germ of tuberculosis, the tubercle bacillus, was iso- lated in 1882 by Robert Koch. The purpose of the Mennonite church in establishing a tuber- culosis sanitarium was to segregate and accomodate people in the church who were suffering with the disease. The people or La Jun- ta and vicinity welcomed the plan for the building of a tuberculosis sanitarium and loyally gave their support. Through the years many patients have come and gone, and of these a goodly number have been discharged as arrested cases of tuberculosis. Our sanitarium is well equipped and offers excellent facilities for the treatment of tuberculosis, which consists of: compression therapy, proper rest and food, and fresh air. The patient is taught to live quietly and to care for himself properly during his stay at the sanitarium and after being discharged. The work at the sanitarium is definitely routine, one week be- ing much like another. Most students enjoy their time there very much, largely because the patients display optomistic and cheerful attitudes. The following is a brief outline of an ordinary week at the sanitarium: Sunday is remembered as afday of rest and worship. At 7:00 A. M. the nurses and workers sing a few hymns, and al 8 130 A. M. the patients v. he are able are permitted to attend Sui:- day School. A sermon is pe cached at 9 :OO A. M. which ail the pa, tients may hear. firionday and Tuesday are bath days. Cin Yilediieel- day all bedpaigs, basins and sputum cups are sterilized. Tliursday shampoo airy Friday' and Saturday ale bath days. Every dzzjy the hours frein l :UO to Z3 :OO F.

Come up the front steps with me. Just inside the door are our mail boxes which are carefully searched daily by each of us. To our left is the room where Mrs. Z ink, our house-mother lives. Mrs. Zink is a kind,- 'hearted, motherly lady who keeps our home clean, answers the telephone and knows where everything is just like any mother. She is always ready to give advice and sympathy. To our right is the reception room where we spend happy hours with our guests, or reading and singing. The west end of the hall is the Hbeginners' corner. These three rooms are occupied by the nurses during their first year. At the other end of the hall is a door with an artistic sign above it-- The Prayer Room -a place of retreat-of quiet communion with our great Counselor. The other rooms about us are occupied by nurses. Let us go upstairs 5 tread softly !-for the Supervisors and Juniors live on this floor. NVe will now go to the basement and see the homey rooms of the kitchen. and laundry girls. Through this door-now we are outside. Woiilcl you like a game of tennis er croquet, No ?-Then let us sit in the shade of this elm tree and I will tell you a little of the history of our home. This building was formerly the hospital and the nurses occupied the empty rooms. VVhen the number of patients increased, nurses moved into nearby homes. Later they lived together in that large brick building on the corner. Vlhen the new hospital was built the nurses moved into this building. Weliave come to love our home but it would not be complete without our capable house-mother, from the first one, Sister Rohrer, to the present one, Mrs. Zink.

THE NIGHTINGALE 1938 The staff of the 1938 Nightingale is happy to present this sixth N, Lim Ole Si H edition to you. The purpose of each publication has been a united 3 3 G effort to picture in an interesting way our School of Nursing, to stiniulate the interests of young woinen who conteniplate the nurs- ing' profession, and to acquaint the inernbers of the Mennonite church throughout the world with the type of service they are sup- porting with their prayers, inoney, and workers. We hope this edition will express our curnulative appreciation of the Christian influence and cooperation of the Nursing Staff, the support and constructive efforts of the Medical Staff in the niaintenance of our educational progress, and our patrons to whoin we willingly corn- niend our nursing services for their physical and spiritual welfare. The first Nightingale was published in 1930 by the senior class and was largely historical. The editions of '31 and ,32 were likewise class projects. Since 1932 the publications have been biennial and sponsored by the School of Nursing. The Staff this year is corn- posed of a incrnber of each class and was appointed by the Nursing School Faculty. Wie have aiined to arrange our inaterial in a new style, to include rnore snapshots which picture our activities, and articles which describe the new additions to our service depart-W nients. Our introductory pages have been designed by the art editor to portray the Hdoor of service progressively opening froin, year to year as we advance in our nursing education. The accompanying Bible verses on the path leading' to the door are parallels in thought to the service of those departnients. If our ainis have been reached it is because of the cooperation of the School and those directly responsible. XVe owe inuch to the Tribune for our printing, to our business friends for their support, to Mr. O. J. Unger, of the Tribune, for his willingness to contribute his ideas, advice, and suggestions, and to Maude Swartzendruber, our advisor, who so graciously and laboriously guided all our work.

To hve this hte and to have a well integrated personality one must develope physically, mentally, spiritually and socially. The Student Council was organized in 1932 for student nurses. There are three committees, namely, religious, social, and nurse's problems. The religious committee strives to enlist student support in the development of spiritual life in each nurse. This committee appoints a leader for the weekly student prayer meeting. Through the efforts and influence of our Student Council a room in the nurses' home has been set aside as a prayer room, for the purpose of giving us a place where we can steal away to Jesus. Recreational therapy is necessary in each one's life. Extra-curriee nlar activities must be given their place in the nurse's program ef living' for she has interests outside the walls of the Hospital. A Nurses' Chorus is active especially during the winter holiday sea- son. Quartets often sing on special occasions during the year and thus music has a big' place in our social life. The nurses' problems committee collects and presents our problems to the Council where they are considered and discussed. All committees function in co- operation with the Director of Nursing Service. Other evidences of the Council's work are Bibles in the prayer room, current literature and flowers at the nurses' home, a tenms court and a croquet ground. The motto of this organization is Honor, Service, and High Stand- ards . Honor to our Maker, service to mankind, and high stand- ards of Christian living are our aims. Cur Student Council has served us well, may it continue to serv-.e others in future years. The officers of the present organization as shown in the pictures below are, La Vera Miller, president, Maude Hartzler, vice presi- dentg Elsie Hooley, secretary. The members of the committees are listed in the panel below. THE N IGHTI NGALE 1938 Our busy training' days are interspersed with many opportunities for maintaining our contact with God, the ultimate Source of our inner strength and life. The Prayer Room in the Nurses' Home is a quiet place where in-e dividuals or groups may meet God and bc refreshed to face new tasks as well as the demands of daily routine. The bi-weekly singing' to the patients inspire us as we start the day. The mornings on which we do not sing' to the patients, each nurse has ten minutes devotion with an assigned patient. This period of Scripture reading and prayer is a definite blessing to both nurse and patient as they come to the Lord togetlier. Wvith few exceptions we can always attend services at least once on Sunday. No classes or lectures are held on Vlednesday evening because of mid-week prayer meeting. A weekly Bible class during the first two years of training' bring us lessons in personal work, Bible doctrines, or book and chapter studies which provide us with systematic Bible study, and increase our love for the Scriptures. Morning devotion in the dining hall brings our nurses and work- ers together at the Throne. I All these activities help us in living for Jesus, but they cannot take the place of our own private devotions with Him. In quietness and confidence shall be your strength. l In Toads Willa God Mary Gruyiniii '38 isceiioneous Suu GUI' Workers OFFS1 1-101J6TlTlGI'1 Grflefiy WOVLGYS Snaps THE N IGHTI NGALE 1938 Happy!

IN MEMORIAM John Henry Good passed away July 6, 1944, after a few days illness, at the age of 67 years. Funeral services were conduct- ed at the Mennonite Church Saturday after- noon with Brother Erb and Brother Sho- walter in charge. The Casket Bearers were the members of the Hospital Board of Directors. The Fl'9S111l12ll1 Quartette sang several selections of music. Interment was made in the Fair- view Cemetery. Practically all of our alumnae ha.ve known John and the place he held in our in- stitution, Words cannot express the appre- ciation we feel for the faithfulness and perseverance demonstrated by him in his many years of service. Our hospital linens have always had a unique cleanliness that few institutions of like manner have possessed. We wonder if anyone can ever do our laundry as John has done it throughout these many years. The hospital has lost a valued and conse- crated worker and supporter through the passing of John. But we humbly bow to His will and rest assured that our loss is his eternal gain.

Sometimes I wonder if I am a nurse, a secretary, or a pharmacist. My husband received his discharge from C.P.S. on Nov. 26. This added much to the already full Thanksgiving season.

Florence Blocher Fadenrecht-'43 France, Jan. 13 Yesterday, I received two song books from the Publishing House. Now the next time I go to the Center, I will take them along and we can have some singing. B. F. Hartzler had a number of leaflets with the songs Fairest Lord Jesus and I Would be True. We just about have these worn out. We took one of the kids to a E.E.N.T. doctor in Bourcy yesterday. She has been having sore eyes for the past three weeks. The docto1 s office was quite nice but rather old fashioned in appearance. We had to wait for some of the medicine, so Went to visit L'Eglise de Bon, a fam- ous old cathedral. It was built as a mon- ument to a king Philbert de beau by his wife.

Jan. 24 Here, Evelyn and I thought we were settled for the winter and together, but not so. I certainly did hate to leave her there at Vescours as that is such a dirty run-down place and they really need ev- eryone and anyone to help there. I am over three hundred miles from her now and from the Chalon center. We are lo- cated way up here in the northeastern corner of Alsace. Our town, Wissimbourg, is now French, but has, in times past, been German. This is a pre-school nur- sery ltere-also one of the Mennonite colonies, under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Roger George. He is French and she is Alsacian. This building was a German baby home before the war and is beau- tifully equipped. Central heating plant, hot and cold water, little toilets for kids, beautiful white walls and beds. Just as modern as any in America. And Mrs. George, our director's wife, is just spic and span with her house cleaning. Every- thing is in perfect condition. We have children from two to four and five years. Some, or most, are feeding problems, un- dernourished, etc., so there is some real nursing to do now. We just got over the whooping cough and chicken-pox. I have a little room and infirmary here together, only room for one baby bed, but if we should have to isolate many children, we have another building, an annex. We are at the foot of the mountainsg all around are beautiful pine and hills, and .back of our house, about three hund- red feet, is the Seigfried line, or German border. Have walked into Germany many times. This country here is still full of land mines and one must be careful where he walks, although this area around our house and the big garden and park below the hill have all been gone over and carefully de-mined. We have a big brick wall surrounding our hill and ua gardener who takes care of the grounds. In our garden we have apples, pears, peaches, grapes, strawberries, etc. So next summer we ought to have plenty to eat. All around our house here are shrubs- rhododendrons, ivy, etc. It is like a pic- ture or story, this place. Doesn't seem tContinued. on page 43 2 .

Elizabeth Kulp COMMENCEMENT ACTIVITIES-1846 Baccalaureate Services-Sunday, June 16 Commencement -- Tuesday, June 18 PATRIOTISM During the past few years a great real has been said about this thing called Hpatriotismf' Many times the accusation, you are not patriotic brought a gleam to the eye and caused a few extra heart beats to the school boy who was thus ad- dressed. No one ever appreciates a sug- gestion that he might be Hunpatrioticf' No doubt each of us would give a different intrepretation of this term should we be asked to explain it. For many people this quality is demonstrated by the act of fighting for one's country or buying war bonds. To others it may mean obeying the laws of the land, saluting the flag or marching in parades, We are not ques- tioning the right or wrong of these in- terpretations. The question we wish to present is what causes a person to be patriotic--to love his country and wish to show devotion to its cause. You know the answers we would get to such a ques- tion. These answers could all be sifted down to one major cause-a sense of ob- ligation or indebtedness for benefits or favors received. I Preferably we use the term loyalty in- stead of patriotism when we consider the relationship between an individual and an institution, such as a school or home. Webster says, to be loyal one is true to plighted faith or dutyf, Loyalty is a trait or quality everyone admires and respects. To be loyal to a cause often in- volves sacrifice and self denial. Are you wondering what we are trying to say? Are you thinking, 'zwhy don't you come out and say it? Are you infering that I am unpatriotic? . Here are some questions we should like to present to you. Will you take time out to send us your answer? Why is the Nurs- ing personnel at this hospital practically always short staffed? Why is it so diffi- cult to retain young graduates after they have secured their prized HR. N. ? Why is it even more difficult to get graduates to return after once they have been gone a few years? How is an institution ex- pected to operate and meet the require- ments for teaching students when it does not have an adequate Nursing Staff and Faculty? Why do nurses choose to be employed near home in a Non-Christian institution rather than in a Christian in- stitution away from home? Why do par- ents insist that their daughters must work near home rather than give their support to a church institution which may be lo- cated several days journey from home? We would appreciate suggestions from all of our alumnae. We need your help to solve this most vital question. Unless we can in some way secure the necessary personnel to carry on the program of Nursing education, .the church will need to reconsider this expansion program which it is planning and for which there is so great a need. How can the Mennon- ite Hospital at the home base hope to staff an additional wing containing twenty to thirty C20-305 more beds if it is impossible to give adequate care to the departments we now have. How many of you have given your one year of service to the church that you promised to give when you were accepted into this school? Many of you can rightfully say, ubut don't we show our loyalty and apprecia- tion by paying our Alumnae dues?', Some of you can say, I contribute regularly toward the yearly projects which are given for the benefit of the school? About thirty C307 per cent of you can say, but, I have given. at least a' year of service to my Alma Materf' To you we say, Thank You, and may God richly bless you for your contribution. To the others we would ask, are you loyal to the institu- tion which gave you your professional ability? Are you patriotic? ' -M. Swartzendruber Director of School and Nursing Service 1946 School Evaluation Quoting from the Report received from the Colorado State Board of Nurse Ex- aminers: The fundamental weaknesses stressed in reports to this school since i933 are even more paramount today. This school may not have retrogressed, but its weaknesses are more evident because of the progress which has been made by other schools in the state. The recom- mendations of ten years ago today become the regulations which must be met. In view of higher standards for registration in other states and also admission to coi- leges and universities, as a Board we do not feel that we can in conscience any longer subscribe to the issuance of a di- ploma from this school of nursing unless the school is supported by more sound organization. The recommendations which now be- come requirements are as follows: deter- mination of whether or not this school CContinued on page 35 ALUMNAE NEWS School Evaluation CContinued from page 23 should continue to operate. lf the decision is in the affirmative then three things must be accomplished. 1. A reorganization of the school to show a wider representa- tion of the church at large. 2. Living con- ditions for students which are comparable to those existant in other recognized in- stitutions in this state. 3. Adequate phy- sical facilities to operate an educational program. ln the present building plan as reviewed by the school visitors the pro- vision being made for teaching facilities would not meet the requirements for an approved school. A special study committee has been ap- pointed by the Executive Committee of the Board of Missions and Charities to study and recommend plans for meeting :hese requirements. The committee con- sists of: S. C. Yoder, E. C. Bender, Carl Kreider, Nora Miller and Maude Swartz- endruber. At an all day meeting of this group on March 2, at the hospital, a plan of action was formulated which will be presented to the Board for consideration. The Administration of the schoolfeels confident that the Alumnae of the school are vitally interested in their school and will be ready to assist in whatever pro- gram is necessary for the welfare of the institution. We solicit your prayers at this time and perhaps you will learn later of some other ways in which you can help in this situation.

There is not much left in the way of homes in this territory as the fighting was really hot here. About a half mile down the road is a big sign which the American doughboys put up. It says, This is where we came in. In the woods back here are lots of foxholes, dugouts and shelters, old helmets, cartridges, etc. I have some good souvenirs now. We are almost on the banks of the Lauter River and farther down the line is a village called Lauterbach. Strasbourg is about thirty miles away. The famous Belfort Gap is about sixty miles. We came through Belfort on the way up here. About a year ago these places were in the headlines of the war news. Some of these little villages are practically flat, just one or two walls standing. People are living in dugouts and little improvis- ed shacks. Have some pictures, if they turn out. People in Alsace seem much more energetic and progressive than in France. The villages are more modern. I guess it is the German influence. We left in the big M.C.C. truck all packed with bales of clothing and cases of soap. Left Friday morning, travelled all day toward Alsace and came to the first Mennonite settlement around three o'clock in the afternoon. The people's name was Widmer, and we unloaded some things there. That place is Montebelaird, in Alsace. There are quite a number of Mennonites there and they are quite poor and eager to get the clothing. These Widmers are cousins to the Widmers in Oregon who go to our church. Also to Pauline Widmer who is in Nurse's training at La Junta. They haul- ed out pictures of all their relatives and seemed pleased that I knew them. They all talk Alsacian Dutch which -is almost exactly the same as Pennsylvania Dutch, so, of course, I got along quite well. Had to do some fast thinking sometimes. By evening we had gotten on into Alsace quite a ways and stayedall night at some other Widmers, who were also cousins. These Joseph Widmers have lots of mon- ey and a beautiful modern home, deep rugs on the floors, heated warm all over, big windows, all the mondern conven- iences you'd want, even a refrigerator. I slept in a feather bed, had a feather tick below and another feather cover al- most like a tick to cover me. White sheets and allg even a hot water bottle.Had a pri- vate bathroom off to one side, big white bath tub, the very first I've seen in France. These Widmers, as I said, have plenty of money, and it just happened that their home is still standing. One of their other building is all blown up. They said the fighting was thick overhead there, they are so near to a big oil re- finery. They live on the edge of a town called Mulhousen. But they have no farm implements or machinery of any kind to farm with. They want a tractor so badly. Next day we stopped at one more Men- nonite community at Kolmar where we left our last bales of clothing. There we visited with a Mennonite family by the name of Fottmier. Everywhere they were glad to see us come. On Saturday evening we finally arrived here at this colony, Mont des Oiseaux which means Mountain of the Birds? This is as far as you can go and not get into Germany. From Kolmar to here we crossed some really war-torn country. Had to wait for fifteen minutes along the highway until they exploded a mine in one place. They are still sending them off around hereg every day we hear some. Beulah Roth-'42 Y.W.C.A. Connaught House. Cairo. Dec. 16 The kitchen force in our mess and all the cleaning personel in our staff com- pound Cat El Shatt, Ed.J are Arabs, many of them Sudonese. The Sudonese can al- ways be distinguished by their long scars on each cheek, a kind of tribal marking. They look as if a lion had clawed them and taken considerable flesh along. Ac- tually the Sudonese are considered more reliable than the local Arabs. I like our Mohammeds, Abduls, Saids, Hassan's, etc., but, to me, they as a class, represent a large area of the worldrthat does not know Christ. I can only try to be kind to them for they speak Arabic and I speak English. Sometimes, I am simply overcome by the conditions I see of the masses of people in these areas-I wish you could join me for just an hour or two some morning on a little shopping tour to Suez. It was so crowded recently one Satur- day morning when I was there that I almost cried out involuntarily as filthy, screaming, ragged humanity brushed against me. Afterwards, I felt most re- morseful at my aloofness, in mind if not in body, for surely Christ would not pull His robes in the midst of the multitudes to avoid contamination. It isn't that I am not moved with compassion, I am, but it is such helpless compassion. It seems that I can only pray that God will be merci- ful to these poor mortals. It isn't even so much the poverty and filth, in a way these are secondary, but the spiritual ig- norance and the human bondage and slavery are appalling. Womanhood is more animal like than humanamong the low- est classes. ln Egypt the rich are very rich and the poor very poor.

ALUMNAE NEWS 5 Alumnae News CContinued from page 4D tent, and a mid-week hour when our small M.C.C. unit meets is not enough to meet Jne's spiritual needs for public worship and fellowship. So although it does take effort to pack up and take the wearying lorry ride to Cairo for a week-end, yet I felt the need sufficiently to undertake it once again. It was so wonderful to be in a real church again Cwe always choose St. Andrews Church of Scotlandb where people bow in prayer as soon as they enter, and sit down. Our first hymn was an arrangement of Psalm 121 to the tune of Above the Trembling Elements. The Scottish Hymnary has only the words of hymns, no music written in them, but the people all know the tunes and, theirsing- ing, mostly in unison and accompanied by the organ, sounded plenty good to me, and, I trust to the Lord. We also sang My Faith Looks Up to Thee and Jesus the Very Thought of Thee, and the Twenty Third Psalm to a tune unfamiliar to me. It seems that mostly army chap- lains serve this church. They are always robed so I wouldn't know that, if some- one hadn't told me. Anyway there was a new one today. He preached a really good sermon on rock bottom spiritual truths. His text was from Is. 35: Be strong, fear not. Unlike many modern ministers, it was clear that he differentiated between the children of God and those who know Him not. Well, the days of our stay in the Mid- dle'East are numbered. I can't say ex- actly where we four are going, but prob- ably N. W. Europe, Italy and I am look- ing forward to India. - Did I write you that I got to see Vera Yoder for a brief hour and a half as the ship she was on anchored for one night in Port Tewfik Harbor which is only about fifteen miles from our camp. She had called from Port Said saying their ship would come through the Canal. S0 While Henry Detweiler four unit leaderj stood on the canal bank very near to our :amp and saw her ship sail by, he took a chance and called her name. She heard and answered. He introduced himself and told her I was waiting for her down at I'ewfik-I was at Tewfik arranging with the shipping company to go out to the ship in the harbor in their launch. You can imagine how thrilling it was to get together in this way, even though it was only for a Very short time. Helen Moser-'42 Hutchinson, Kansas. Feb. 15 Clayton was released Cfrom C.P.S.7 Jan. 7.

I find that keeping house in one's own home is much differ- ent than working in someone else's home. Carl works in a cabinet shop for a friend of his and seems to like the feeling of getting a weekly check. It has been over four years since he has had that sensa- tion.

The service was begun by the group singing 'iTransformed. Adella Brunk then read the story of The Other Wise -Man af- ter which the Freshmen Quartette sang Thy Vfordf' Dora Taylor gave us some thoughts on Victory in the New Year. We were reminded that for a happy, vic- torious New Year, we must have Christ as our strength. Short prayers of conse- cration followed these thoughts and as the New Year crept in upon us, the group sang, Take My Life and Let lt Bef, With prayer in our hearts we entered into a New Year. As a special Christmas project, we as members of the Student Council decided to give a sum of money towards the India Hospital Building Fund which we know is a worthy cause. Our prayers also go out towards this much needed under- taking. The evening of January 28th again found the Student Council members meet- ing in the recreation room. During the program of the evening we were made aware of all the alumni from our own Hospital School of Nursing, who are now serving in relief work, C.P.S. camps, or in Mission work. A poster, made by Ida Zook, presented to us the number and lo- cation of the alumni from our own School of Nursing. Ruth Byler then brought to our minds ways in which we can all help in this great relief and missionary pro- gram by our giving and by our prayers. She also presented to us a great challenge for definite service for our Master. The program was concluded by the Freshman Quartet singing Go Ye. February 11-18 proved to be a week of excitement and fun. Yes, it was Heart Sister week. What fun for Freshmen and Juniors alike as we did all sorts of little favors and kindnesses for our Heart Sisters. On the evening of Feb, 18 after enjoying some very interesting games which centered around Valentine's Day, our Heart Sisters were revealed to us. The big event was over and we finish- ed celebrating by enjoying ice cream, cookies and coffee for refreshmnts. Since Miss Lorene Springer is unable to be our Student Council sponsor any longer we are sorry to lose her, but are fortunate to havefin her place, Miss Edna Amstutz.

The junior class provided all guests with a steamship ticket good for a two-hour voyage. Dr. R. S. Johnston, Senior,Class Doctor, was on dock to wish to all bon voyage and to point out to the departing class some of the equipment for character and personality necessary for a happy and successful voyage. Brother Erb pointed out some of the dangers of the sea and how to avoid them while out in the deep. Dr. G. E. Calonge, Junior Class Doctor, in admonishing the class to sail on and on, pointed out the need for carrying sufficient ballast to balance the sail so that their craft might ride the storms and safely arrive in their desired harbor.

It was intended to be an im- pressive ceremony symbolizing the separ- ation of the class of 1945 from the school which was represented by one large can- dle. From this candle four others were lit pointing to the North, South, East and West and representing the class letting the light which they had accumulated at their alma mater shineiforth in this world of darkness.

The theme selected and skillfully carried out by the committee was 'tlndianf' Beulah Nice ,40, toastmis- tress, introduced the chief and maidens who presented the program. While Flor- ence Nafziger '40 read to us f'Hiawatha's Childhood by Longfellow the phrase- ology caused many of us to cast a glance of pleased recognition upon the menu and programs lying beside our plates. The Senior Quarett, Mildred Yoder, Grace Gerber, Elta Yoder, and Crystal Hough, sang two numbers. Grace Gerber rendered a piano solo and Dean Harold S. Bender, chief speaker, spoke to us on 'fWords of Wonder. Award of Scholarship The climax of the Alumni-Senior oc- casion came at the end when the presi- dent of the Association, Hazel Schertz Rhodes '30, presented to Miss Elta Yoder of the graduating class the Lydia Heat- wole Memorial Scholarship for nursing education. There is a deep significance em- bodied in this memorial scholarship. First, it is evidence of an appreciation of the spirit of Christian nursing as em- bodied in our pioneer nurse, Sister Lydia Heatwole. Second, it is proof of a sense of need for growth and progress in the pre- sent day nursing program. All the rich heritage which is ours from the past is but empty tradition unless we 'too catch the vision of service within our hearts and minds and interpret this vision in the light of the need of our own day. Alumnae luncheon and Annual Business Meeting On Tuesday, June 19, 1945, the day following commencement, the Alumnae members enjoyed a pot lunch luncheon at the Graduate Residence. After the meal the meeting was'called to order by the president, Hazel Rhodes '30, Ada Burkhart '22 conducted the devotional period. She read I Cor. 3:5-18, a :favorite passage of Sister Heatwole. During the period of volunteer prayers, 'those of our group who are out in active service in relief and missions were especially re- membered. Roll call was answered by the year of graduation. Twenty-seven members re- sponded tc roll call. The secretary's and treasurer's' re- ports were read and accepted. Nora Miller, who had been appointed to fill the place of historian since Helen Moser left, gave a very interesting re- port on the status and activities of the members of the Alumnae Association, of which there are now two hundred. She proved to us that even statistics can be interesting. Letters of appreciation from Willard and Verna Smith and four Paraguayan student nurses who have been aided with funds for their training were read to the group. Phebe Yoder sent a letter to be read to the group acknowledging the gift of sixty dollars she received since her ar- rival in the states. This was the accumu- lation of the annual ten dollar Christmas gift the Association sends to nurses in missionary activity. The graduates of the class of 1944 were accepted into the Association. It was decided to continue the pro- ject of purchasing laboratory equipment for the nursing school for the coming year. A report of the American Mennonite Nurses Meeting held at Goshen, Indiana, was interestingly given by Ethel Zook. This association includes approximately 500 members. Miss Zelma Brunk '39 reported on the activities and location of alumnae nurses in missions or relief work. There are 15 members now employed in these fields of service or under appointment. A special feature at the close of the business meeting was a short program honoring Miss Nora Miller who has faith- fully served in our school of nursing for 25 years. The growth and progress of our school can in a large measure be con- tributed to the vision and to the faithful labor and administration in various capa- cities which Miss Miller has contributed in these past 25 years. As a tangible token of appreciation the Association presented Miss Miller with a beautiful maple coffee table.

We had a grand time talking about all of you while we picniced in the cedars. Yes, we went down past the Higbee school to the bend in the river near the dam. It's still just as pretty as ever. We talked over old times and gossiped a bit while we ate bacon and egg sandwiches plus all the trimmings and finished up with straw- berries and cream. Aren't you sorry that you weren't here? Blanche Brown '23 Hazel Rhodes '30 Nora Miller '23 Marion Jones '30 Religious News On Friday evening, June 15, Brother and Sister William Hallman were at the La Junta Mennonite Church.

Nurses Chorus The nurses chorus this spring pro- vided much enjoyment and relaxation for those participating. The seventeen members, under the direction of Miss Eliza Yoder, spent many hours memoriz- ing and practicing. They were well re- warded when they were privileged to give programs at Pueblo, Cheraw, and Law Animas, besides several. programs and special numbers presented at the La Junta Mennonite Church.
