enzbr Gkss Zgkfory i960-That Wonderful Year-Do you re- call or remember at all? . . . The 'hurricane that heralded the arrival of the class of i963 and kept many of us from arriving on time even on that first day? We were soon un- packed and anxious to begin our new lives as STUDENT NURSES only to discover that all would not be sweetness and light. Initia- tion began and we were often attacked in the wee small hours of the morn by strange creatures from down the hall called Juniors complete with shaving cream, toothpaste, and hand lotion to touch up our hairstyles. POM-POM Pick made quite a hit in the cafeteria. 'We elected our first class officers with Ahern as president and really began to feel united. Remember our first anniversary at Maryview? We had survived one month and obtained one button for the precious cap we hoped to receive in March. Sister Mary Paul and Mrs. Edwards gave us a party that first time and each month for the next five. Be- tween studying, and mainly sleeping the next weeks flew by with Halloween parties, bottle drives, and feast day parties and soon it was time for Thanksgiving vacation. After our return from the holiday, basket- ball began and four members of the class made the team. We also had representation on the cheerleader squad. Soon enough Christ- mas was upon us 'and we attended our first Christmas dance given by the doctors at Sub- urban Country Club. And then we were off for two whole weeks at home. ln the next weeks we lost three of the group to more in- teresting pursuits such as marriage and re- ceived daily lectures from Sister Mary Paul to lift up your feet and climb that moun- tain . At last March l9, l96l arrived and we received our caps amidst a flood of tears. Can we ever forget With These Hands, the Nightingale Pledge, how the candles kept falling out of the lamps, or those parties at the Holiday Inn? During the months many changes came to pass. Working 7-3 for the first time was a thrill for us all, but the death of Monsignor Govaert brought sadness to our hearts. Sister Marv Paul left for France and we knew we had lost another good friend, Ahern won Dis- trict Miss Student Nurse, Sr. James Annette and Sr. Eileen Mary transferred to a college in D. C., our first group began working in the OR and everyone looked forward to summer vacation. Trips to Va. Beach with Padre, working relief, sleeping, singing with the Glee Club, and best of all being able to stay out every night until lO:3O P.M. helped to pass the summer and before we knew it we had re- ceived our Junior stripes and watched our grandmothers graduate. Now it was our turn to initiate our little sisters and I wonder whose idea it was to bury them in the sand at our annual picnic that year? We elected new class officers with Babbs as president, held several school and district offices, instituted Maryview's first football team, struggled through Peds. and OB and took our first Leagues, made a movie star- ring Liz Howard and Mike Walden , and learned to do the Twist, Christmas came and with it an unhappy face on those of us spending our first holiday away from home. February arrived all too quickly and off to Seton trooped seven of our classmates. Upon their return months later, we noticed that several improvements had been made, but among the most outstanding was that Gannon had learned to Twist, ln June we received our class rings and Senior bands. Another departure brought grief among us for Fr. Allen, our beloved chaplain, stepped aboard a plane and started his journey to the mysterious land of Turkey. Our class sang the Whiffenpoof Song as a farewell. Senior year began in Aug. with the gradua- tion of our big sisters and we took their place with pride and enthusiasm. Lynda took the leadership of the SCO. Warren was elected class president, Ahern became District and State Pres., Gannon wan the state Miss Stu- dent Nurse title, Kohut was co-captain of basketball and Walsh head cheerleader. Bottle drives became popular-just ask Ann? Our calendar count down diminished and classes finally ended. Comps behind-Boards ahead, as OUR big day arrived, it seemed our jour- ney only began yesterday, yet the mountain path is strewn with joys, sorrows, love, friend- ship, and memories which will live in our hearts forever.
