Faculty Advisor Dedicated to the Student urse Who with high ideals and fond hopes nzakes the nursing profession her goalg notwithstanding the knowledge that there lies before her inang hours of hard work both nientaillg and phgsicallg, nionients of grace responsibilitg, and gears of studg and practice. Three gearseonlg a small segnient of life, but when concentrated upon the task of learning, lining and being a potential professional nurse these gears inake a greater inipact upon a girl's personalitg than ang other coniparable span of tinie. To the girl applging for a place in a nursing school the gears stretch out long and nigsteriouslg before her. To the senior in her lasrt inonths of schooling the gears seeni short and full, so swiftlg gone. However, just ang three gears of haphazard practice and theorg could neuen produce capable nurses. There are multiple phases of nursing education all of which nzust be correlated so as to give each individual student a definite inclusive foundation on which to build her nursing career. In additionf to classes ufith the 'usual eurriculuni to oouer, tests to pass, and grades to achieve, the student niust inaster niang nursing skills and procedures. Each class and each. gear builds upon the previous one in order to integrate scientific theorg, practical experience, and basic conzprehension of actual eases. Not eiferg student receives eocactlg the some experience, but the pattern is set, and the reguireinents are high. Not least of the aceonzplishments of these three gears is the change in personalitg traits. Though basic types and fnndanicntals reniain. constant, the careless student nurse mast learn to take responsibilitg since the lines of others often lie in her hands. The tinzid one niust learn self-confidence bg beings often on her ou'n in travel and new situations. If she is proud she must learn to adniit mistakes and take the consequences. Cooperation, dependabilitg, aecuracg, and tact are characteristics nurtured alrnost spontaneonslg throughout the training period, though few attain perfection in ang. Almost daily contact with birth and death gives a per- spective into life which makes the Christian nnrse more deeply conscious of God's control over inan's life. Emotional stability and spiritual assurance are ne-- cessary in order to give the utmost trite nnrsing service. These years, then, rnarh the difference between ew- pectancy and accornplish- ment, between the raw nia- terial and the finished pro- duct. They are three irntpor- tant years for the student, her associates, and all who come under her responsibil- ity as at professional nurse.

ERB Of all the people who have put heart and soul into the work of the ehureh in hospitals, no one has done so more eompletely than Bro. Erb. Since 1916 the superin- tendent of our hospital, he has been the major factor in all lines of advancement. Through dark days his God.,- and prayer-centered optimism has carried to sueeessful vompletion nianv plans tor expansion. Those of us Who witnessed his fervor and earnestness during the fund campaign for Miller Hall can never doubt his belief in the importance of the nursing' school to the hospital and ehureh. No student can remain unimpressed by his eon- seeration to the eause of Christ. Three, years of Bible Glasses and innumerable sermons as Well as his example of eonsistent daily living' make this evident. WVise in experienee and judgtenieiil, liro. Erb lives daily the Scripture he has loved and taken to his heart. Ciao mtant Supefzintendent W. J. DYE A newcoinei' to the afhninistrative staff, Mr. Dye has inacle a place for himself in the hospital this year. Well prepared, enthusiastic, clear thinking, and with an acute business sense, he is innch appreciated by all the hospital personnel. As assistant superintendent of the hospital and personnel inanagei' he is approached daily concern- ing' problems in all clepartnients. lt is not unusual to see Miz Dye in the Kitchen investigating a dishwasher break- down, or talking' over plans for the lawn with the main- tenance crew. The smooth cuordinated functioning' of the hospital is i2ll'g'ClY due to Blix Dye's planning' and supervision. Qi'L2Ct0-'L af Scfzaal and .Mwwing Sewice MRS. MAUDE SWARTZENDRUBER, R.

Qcxectam a .Mwwing Educatian NORA M. MILLER, R. N., B. A. Director of Nursing' lilducation-thatfs Miss Miller's title, but to the school and students she has been even more surely a source of inspiration and eiieouiaegenieiit. It is through her continued effort that our school has attained and inaintained a high scholastic standing in Colorado. For years she did a full job of teaching and supervising, but this year because of ill health she has been forced to guide the school by inore indirect inethods. Her spirit still leads, however, and the stamina and patience she has shown will never be forgotten. Just as three years ago the Nf.Qll,f'lfIl,.CjIIZIi was dedicated to her, this year will see Miller llall dedicated-a. fitting honour for one who has hoped great hopes for our school and then labored to see those hopes fulfilled. Uwn Qactcvw The doctors of our staff help to maintain the high scholastic and medical standards of our school and hospital. Vile learn much from them in clinics and througli instruction along' with surgery, deliveries, or in the patients rooms. They are willing and apt teachers. Classes in X-ray, medical diseases, communicable diseases, tuberculosis, and anes- thesia are a few taught by the medical staff. They are always ready with answers to our numerous questions. Because our doctors are alert and keep up with the new things in medicine we benefit through their knowledge. The cooperation they show by teacliing' classes, keeping careful case records, and sharing' the latest treatments and medical knowledge with us demonstrates, we believe, their active interest in the future progress and continued accreditment of our school. The hospital and school appreciate the faithful service rendered by our staff doctors year after year. Monthly staff meeting -left to right, Drs. J. A. Shand, W. C. Fenton, W. F.

Few studied tdo strenuously, however, for we found thefbeautiful Colorado weather en- ticing' us to tennis and picnics. We must have absorbed enough, though, for in March we were all accepted as Freshmen. Our work on the wards was all-absorb- ing.

Class flower: Tearose Being on call for O.R. or O.B. made our junior year fly by. Doctor's lectures and ward classes made book work more enticing. The next June because of affiliation our class was divided, not to be reunited until graduation. Many interesting experi- ences made the months pass swiftly, and we returned with a keener appreciation for our Christian school. The future -- how broad the horizon seems!

Wei have tried to share with you the actual workings of a nursing school. However, there is no generalized picture of student nurses. Each girl appropriates to herself from these three years the experiences that mean the most to her. She learns to mold her goals for the future around her natural capabilities, and at the conclusion of her training period each girl goes forth into, her own field of service knowing that there is a particula:r place for her in God's plan. Any nursing school can teach the skills of nursing care, but only a Christ-centered school like the La Junta Mennonite School of Nursing can teach the deeper meaning of nursing service. Facts About Our School of Nursing I-'rom Mrsu M. Swarizendruber. Direcior of the School The La Junta Mennonite School of Nursing is fully accredited by the Colorado State Board of Nursing Examiners. The school of nursing was organized in 1915 as an integral part of the Mennonite Sanitarium which has been controlled by the Mennonite Board of Missions and Char- ities since its beginning in 1908. Since September, 1949, the school has been included as one of the educational institu- tions of the church administered by the Mennonite Board of Education. The general purpose of the school is to teach Christian young' Women how to assist medical science in the prevention and treat- ment of disease, and to perform good bed- side nursing in an environment that Will develope Christian character and nurture loyalty to God and the church. Students spend two quarters a-ffiliating with the Colorado University School of Nursing during their senior year. The hospitals in which the students re- reive clinical experience are members of the American Hospital Association and are op- proved by the American College of Surgeons. These are the Mennonite Hospital and Sani- tarium, La Junta, Coloradog Denver General Hospital and Colorado Psycopathic Hospital, Denver, Colorado, and the Colorado State Hospital, Pueblo, Colorado. The hospitals in Denver and Pueblo are approved for the training of interns. The hospital at La Junta has been approved by the Council on Medi- cal Education and Hospitals of the American Medical Association for the General Prac- tice Residency Training Program. The nursing curriculum is patterned on the basic nursing curriculum as authorized by the National League of Nursing Educa- tion, and covers a total period of 39 months, including the time spent in the 'pre-nursing course in college. Students completing the requirements for graduation are eligible to write the National Nursing Examinations administered by the Colorado State Board of Nursing Examiners. Anyi'nurse registered in Colorado is qualified to register in any state without taking examinations. Over 280 nurses have been graduated from this school and qualified for registra- tion in Colorado in the past 32 years. Student Cauncil The Student Council has been active throughout the years. This year Betty R-ice was our able guide, Geraldine Bender acted as vice- president, Dorothy Miller was secretary-treasurer, and Grace Augs- burgerd was elected as faculty advisor. Student government was stresse . The various committees have been clever in planning holiday activities. At Christmas We exchanged gifts, and the religious commit- tee planned caroling and special services, much as they did at Easter. Daily' chapel and weekly prayer meetings are ZILSO planned by the re igious committee. Skits, films, and siiiygliiig were included in the pro,Qgrams We had. The social committee included aincng' its activities a delicious Valentine supper. Several times we raised money by Wrapping' rat poison for the health department. Some of this money was given to the new nurse's home, and some used to buy clothing' for the nurses in Paraguay. The student council is the activity center for all students - a busy and essential group.

Doctor, would you have time to let me take your picture? Just one more. Relax! The trials of trying' to get pictures in a busy hospital have all been fathomed by the Nig'hting'ale staff. Only with mueh on-the-spot photo- graphy have we collected the pictures we present here to more vividly illustrate our theme. Let's tell them what it's really like,', the staff had decided. So few realize that a nurse's training' consists of more than making' beds and rubbing' backs. Our goal then was set - to portray the years of student life. Although our book is small, it seemed an enormous task to the staff. lt proved an adventure worth undertaking, however, and though not perfect we are proud to present this volume which We hope will express the confidence and pride we have in our school. lt is not the result of staff work alone. Every student and many others have had a part in making' it a success. -KOKO, Your Neighbor in the Arkansas Valley auasifiaw 'llfxvakew Dcetrors and nurses alone would be in a poor position to run a hospital.

Q, e - PEAOOGIQS FUNERAL HOME - flfw Scfzuli JVww,e'o, .Tuagew Please, God, don't let the surgeons come, tTil I've had time to set up first, For of all the things that can happen here Not being ready is the worst. Dontt let them contaminate my sterile self, As they so often do- Then favor me with that awful look Which says, 'tYou lame brain, you. Don't let them throw all my fine points In disgust upon the floor, Then say so very sweetly 'Tm sorry, give me more. Don't let them ask me for a g.b. clamp For I haVen't got one here, Though when they know I haven't one, That's what they'll want I fear. Don't let them wait till I have fixed Their sutures of the usual kind, Before they think to tell me They've suddenly changed their mind. Let them keep their hands off my Mayo stand So I can keep it straight, Most of them wait till I get things fixed. Then ruin it sure as fate! Please make them throw their specimens In the ,place that they are meant for, Instead of on my instruments, Or worse, upon the floor. Please don't make them holler For six things all at once, Then when they dontt get them stat, Treat me like a dunce. Please don't let them grab the towel I've placed my sutures in, 'Cause Godg today I'm in no mood Tn bearit with a grin. I'll let the surgeons do their work, Ifet them let me do mine. For then we can work together And get along just fine. The seniors ask, Do you remember . . I' -when Ruthie and Meggle made choco- late candy with prolonged effects? -when Bertief made Bro.

Very few people realize the amount of Work that goes into the production of a book of this type - and niost of the work is done by the ineinbers of the staff. The work is not completed in a few days, nor a few weeks-in fact it takes nionths of planning and organiz- ing' before the actual production of the publication can even be started. Then coines collection of pictures, writ- ing' layouts, sale of advertising' and proof reading' which takes many hours of off-duty time. So if there is any criticism renieinber that the staff Worked hard to produce this permanent record of Work and fun at the lla Junta Mennonite School of Nursing.
