Furthermore, the disturbing results of change are usually in direct ratio to the rapidity with which it takes place. You of the Class of 1946 have had to adjust yourselves within the space of a few years to a double change: the transition from a peacetime life and economy to war conditions, and now from the activities of war back to peacetime life. For a long time you will feel the effects of the ebb and flow of those powerful currents which the war has set in motion. The program of the Cadet Nurse Corps is probably the outstanding single factor affecting your Class life and you as indi- viduals. It has influenced your studies, your thoughts, your social life and it will influence for some time to come your nursing activities. Truly we live in a changing world but even though we are affected by these changes and play our part in them there stand out in this turbulent stream certain islands of security. These are notably institutions that have predominantly a spiritual component, as for instance, the great Religions, the Universities, a nd the Ffospitals. Thus, through the turmoil of war years, the Massachusetts General Hospital — your hospital — has carried on just as it carried on through four preceding wars. It has had to adjust itself to changing conditions just as you have had to but its spiritual, humanitarian work has gone on as usual. The Bulfinch still stands serene and inspiring. Wherever you go in years to come may you look back and receive strength and encouragement and comfort from the thought of the steadfastness of purpose, the nobility of aims, and the usefulness of action which this great institution exemplifies and which is given tangible expression in its first building. Truly it is founded upon the rocks of humanity and science, and the teaching and training you received here should give intelligent, scientific direction to your innate humanity when, as graduates of the Massachusetts General Hospital School of Nursing, you enter into your chosen profession. Nathaniel W. Faxon, M.D., Director. DEDICATION FIRST INKLING of a student nurse’s life in the Massachusetts General Hospital was impressed upon us through the militant, yet warm greeting given us by Miss Nancy Fraser on our first day in training. Perpetual motion personified, she is active all day in the pursuit of recal- citrant nurses, persuading, threatening, cajoling, and whirling her cane to keep the students healthy. We forgetful procrastinators who have lost that little green slip’’ are verbally annihilated, probie and senior alike. Yet let one of us become sick, and she is. by the same token, a most thoughtful, understanding and loyal friend. It is with all our hearts that we affectionately dedicate this book to her.

Page Nine NURSING DEPARTMENT The Nursing Department is among the most im- portant groups of teachers that the student nurse knows well. It is through this Department, under the electric as well as exacting supervision of Miss Sylvia Perkins, that the basic principles of nursing care are taught. Ably assisting Miss Perkins are Miss Gilmore, Miss Grosser, Miss Bacon and the changing student assistants. This Department, sometimes to its despair, pulls, pushes and exhorts each student through her first bewildering six months, training. First row: Miss H. Gilmore, Miss S. Perkins, Miss I. Grosser. Back row: Miss C. Beauregard, Miss M. Bacon. MISS VOIGT The weekly change slip . . . how often we have looked for- ward to that magic piece of paper which routes us through our varied ward experience, and how seldom we have stopped to con- sider the amount of planning and foresight which it represents. The change slip is issued from the small office in T.S.O. where Miss Helen Voigt, co-ordinator supreme, carries the tremendous task of directing each of us through our required experience in exactly three years; and at the same time sees that each ward is covered at all times. In a large, flat book she works out the master plan for each of our programs, much as the pieces of a puzzle are fitted together. For this task, all-important to the smoothly running surface of any hospital school of nursing. Miss Voigt meets our sincere admiration and appreciation. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Although the members of the Science Department have changed considerably since the Class of 1946 first started their studies, the standards, continuity and excellent teaching have persisted unbroken. The Sci- ence and Nursing Department work to gether to cor- relate theoretical with practical knowledge. Miss Sher- win now heads the Science Department assisted by Miss Tsarides, Miss Batchelder, Miss D. Johnson, Miss Belcher and Miss Berry. It is through their good teaching that we rise to the standards required of every M.G.H. student. First row: Miss Batchelder, Miss Sherwin, Miss D. Johnson.

SHIP Nursing I in February 1943, right when the icebergs were thickest on Charles Street, received 75 new blues, fat and lean, tall and short, the knowing and the ready to find out. Hale were some and hearty. Meek and shy were others. The ship was rolling and surging long before they adjusted their gait or learned how to secure sheets in the first month ' s gale. Well named for the Cookie to stop Byrning the Rice as well as a King. Long were the Rounds! Power to the Cousins who made the grade. downcast eyes, their trembling lips, were enough to melt the hearts of the officers. Here were Misses Hallett, Hinchey, Lake, Presentato, Kloski, Sandquist, Wilken and Willard. Dead calms followed in their wake. Now, there were bound to be pranksters. Everyone soon knew that B. Hughes was responsible for lashing P. Hartt to the Crow’s Nest. Why had she done so? Because P. Hartt howled seafaring ditties at the top of her lungs during rest hours. How can one mention everyone? Yet let the roll be called and not an officer but will be able to have memories of everybody in the finest class of new blues since September ’42. The Good Ship Nursing I crossed the equator at the height of the heat, July, in fact. It was fabulous heat accompanied by malignant calm. The sails hung wet and limp from the masts. The new blues just aboard, all 44 of them, were wet and limp too. Yet these young tars, the first to attempt the summer trip, kept their lips stiff if collars couldn’t be. There were a few whose association with the sea heretofore helped keep the ship on an even keel — after classes, at least. Hopey with real Navy salt in her veins, and a salty product of Cape Cod like M. Reid, knew that music can calm wind and waves or lacking those, it can buoy the spirits that droop. So they and T. Rushforth helped to save the day. Later when the storm did come, it was J. White’s liberal use of cottonseed oil that calmed the troubled waters. But without those huskies Hiller. Davis and Ward, the sails would never have been lashed fast. How those sheets ripped and tore! It was a storm to make M. Donnelly pale, E. Celley develop a roaring voice, J. French to become rowdy, S. Armstrong to sound like a Brooklynite, K. O’Loughlin to threaten murder, C. Robie to bluster, and A. Pendleton to shrink to 4 feet 5 and stay quietly under the table in complete obscurity. New blues vowed they would never be late to roll call again if the waves would just subside. J. Finlay knew how to ride out a storm and able to eat every meal were those hearties M. Fleming, B. Jones, P. Douglass, A. Lawrence, C. Miller, and J. Swart. But without a single bit of nourishment for days were feeble and desolate — B. Cassidy, C. Godin, M. Line- han, and S. Wisotsky. Where were the rest? Below decks just intrigued with their knotting! training ship were the Shippees. And there were new blues who could Hey for The officers soon found that the demure and meek needed to be put on day watch together so a group of the most delicate new blues were assembled. Their Page Fifty-seven I he July class rode out the typhoon and got everything ship-shape and under control despite this typhoon caused by the September class or was it just June Carroll and M. Poulin? New hammocks had to be slung and members added to the normal complement of officers. For awhile everyone felt as though some giant had poured the contents of another ship into ours. But with the July class knowing the ropes and managing mighty well, it didn ' t take long for the September tars to catch on. A jolly crew they were too, and they took to it all like ducks to water especially during the cleansing shampoo. By the time irrigations came along they were such a sea-faring lot that they weren ' t satisfied with normal saline. One teaspoon to the pint? Not they! From the very start when it came to swabbing decks they loved it. Just to get a cloth and pail and clean! As we passed the island of Bryn Mawr we took on another group already somewhat seasoned but still able to be surprised by the storms and stresses that took place in the fleet of the M.G.H. Navy. They had served under one of our officers so knew their ropes. They became part of the September group and were a very real addition. After our stop at Bryn Mawr, there was much left to do even though many repairs had been made. We shall never forget how Mary Dwyer climbed up in the rigging to disentangle the snarls there — the first of many to volunteer. In fact, it was hardest to keep the G’s — Gibbs, Gill and Gilmore — on the decks or in the galley. Besides the training ship Nursing I, there are the bigger and more important ships Bulfinch, White, and Baker. To these our blues went and learned many new and mysterious things. Misses Bell and Bettini found reading on the sundeck of the S.S. Baker to boat races. It took a while before arrangements could be made Wynne found the S.S. White too leisurely and wanted to challenge members of the S.S. Baker to boat races. It took awhile before arrangements could be made and points agreed to. It seems that they don’t do things the same in the Baker. T here was an infirmary for the mildly ill on the S.S. Bulfinch known as B3. Everyone looked forward to the day she would be assigned there. A special request to go there was made by M. Bell, V. Bettini. E. Salmi, P. Kugler, E. Hath- away and L. Forrant. Elsewhere the rush and bustle of the S.S. Bulfinch far sur- passed the S.S. White so that there was little time to realize what was going on. One day Section II almost to a man didn’t appear at a class. No one could believe it! Where do you think they were? In the elevators of S.S. White! After sauntering from deck to deck visiting with patients and occasionally tripping over the rubber tubing on White 8’s south wing, out would come, ready half hour ahead of time to go to class, A. Sage, E. Tobey, J. Mercer and B. Conton. Now all this time since the typhoon struck, the training ships had been in the Atlantic and the going was foggy and rough. So since it was apt to be smoother in the Pacific we decided on that, with some war- free South Sea Island our hope. The officers all exchanged glances when the South Seas were mentioned. Finally the problem was taken care of — Sally Thacher was left in port. However, after three days the crew all declared their first five months had been so full of rest and recreation they knew they’d be bored with more. So they left Nursing I for the big M.G.H. Ships taking more or less with them, as is the way of all new blues. SYLVIA Perkins, Instructor of Nursing P.ige Fiji) -eight ;r Candlelight Services CLASS PROPHECY I T WAS SEVEN-THIRTY on White 6, and I was expecting a phone call at eight! Hunting frantically high and low for that ten c.c. syringe, 1 358 I happened to lift the lid of an empty sponge can. One look inside, and I knew that at last I had caught the mischievous Gremlin, who delights in causing trouble for student nurses. “So you’re the one who hides the medicine closet key, breaks thermometers, unhitches the bell-cords and leaves the refrigerator door open! And now I ' ve caught you with the ten c.c. syringe, 1 358!” “Oh, please don’t send me down to wait on the bench, he cried, “I’ll do anything you ask!” “Maybe you could help me at that,” I said, remembering the class prophecy I had to hand in for the yearbook. “Can you take me into the future?” “That’s easy,” he said. “One o’clock sharp at Walcott House. In the morn- ing I have to orient my new probie gremlins. You’ll meet them later on White 7, 8 and 9. See you tomorrow at one! And with that he disappeared. The next day was a real thrill, and on my travels I learned a great deal about the illustrious class of 1946. Georgie the Gremlin dropped me off at a helicopter garage in the year 1956. Wandering about, feeling very strange and lost, I heard a familiar voice. Turning around, who should I see but B. J. Cassidy, just about to take off. She was headed for Borneo, she informed me, to demonstrate her latest invention, the “Bedmotor” fori. It moves the bed forward or backward, and will even spin on a dime. “Come along!” she called, “We leave in ten min- utes.” So we checked the gas, gave the propeller a spin, and off we went. Gliding along through the clouds the motor began to knock. Deciding the gas must be low, we dropped down, and landed on a Missouri mule farm. Sud- denly we heard a voice singing “ ' We do all the work’, said the shavetails!”, and along came Creep Etling in her lieutenant’s uniform, “Headed.” she said, “for Copeland’s Mule Farm.” It seems that Paulie raises home grown mules for army use. She was full of news: Mary Lou Fleming has a full time job as a housewife in Everett. Mary Rose Linehan is raising her auota of chubby cherubs in Brack- ton. Gracie Kondrup is finally settled in her little vine-covered cottage in New Hampshire, and Lee Hiller is often found relating the latest gossio over the back fence as she borrows a cup of sugar. And guess what! Ginny and Skip have just added the ninth member to their baseball team. Refueling, we started off again. California was the next stop. Dropping off at a convenient hamburg stand, we saw Connie Miller sleeping peacefully in a corner. We woke her, and she told us she was iust getting a short nao before going to see Syl Wisotsky’s latest dancing recital, “Fairy Feet Begin the Beat” fori. We arrived just as the curtain was going up. Hopie Morse was directing her offsprings that made up the four piece orchestra. First on the program were the “Penn State Kegs,” doing the “Beer Barrel Polka” fori. Strangely enough they all looked like Betsy Keller. Connie said that Turk Furness is infirmary nurse at Dartmouth, and Shirley Armstrong is head-nursing on male surgical wards in the Maine General. After the show, B. J. and I took off again, this time for Borneo, non-stop. Arriving there, B. J. went to visit Marguerite Donnelly’s Borneo Hospital for Page Sixty-three Carniverous Cannibals, to demonstrate her bcdmotor. There we met Janet French and her latest husband, Dr. Keenblade, the up and coming medical man in Borneo. They asked if we’d heard that Claire Godin was singing “Heart and Soul ' to the cannibals, and that Betty Hartford was running a second Henry Street out here. Marguerite Donnelly had just returned from Boston where Thelma Rushforth is the new principal at M.G.H., and Mary Kewer is helping out the little probies on the wards. Doris Petersen is the new supervisor in the pediatrics’ department, while Sis Robie is the director of O.T. We then started for China, and discovered that Charlotte Clark had made the headlines as inventor of the perfect vest for vest-pocket hearing aids. Walking down the main street, we bumped into Phyl Emery Dickson on her way from a Sunday School picnic to a Ladies Aid Meeting, where the main attractions were Ann Pendleton singing “My Hero , and Edie Celley as guest speaker, relating her most recent tales of woe as a chaplain’s wife in the interior. More news from home. Betty Jones and Jim are in Connecticut, and Annie Lawrence is still breaking hearts. Kay O’Laughlin and Peter are raising shamrocks, while Janet White is raising chestnuts on Chestnut Hill. Phyl McElroy is using her excess energy lecturing to women’s clubs on the nursing problems of the future. Heading homeward, we looked down and there were daisies growing on the shores of Hudson Bay. Curiosity made us land, and there, coming out of the house was Jean Finlay. Raising daisies is her latest project. She supplies Jeanie Swart’s Training School for Es kimos, and Marion Davis’ Get- Well Baby Clinic which Davy runs with three of her nephews. Davy just got a letter from Phyl Ward telling her to be sure and take in Barney Reid’s violin concerts while she is touring the north. Phyl and Bill have just completed their own private navy — one sailor for each of the seven seas. Returning to the United States, I said good-bye to B. J. who was all excited about starting work on her next invention. There, just arriving at the airport was Olive Heyman, who offered me a ride in her new airplane which she has learned to operate with difficulty. We were flying over sunny Miami, and — my word — there was Gracie Nangle sitting in her supervisor’s office, trying to teach some poor probie how to use her resources in the best M.G.H. manner. As the trip progressed we found ourselves a few thousand feet above Crans- ton High School, Rhode Island. “What are all those leg splints and three- cornered bandages doing out on the lawn:’” It was Evelyn Spelman, teaching her students their first aid lessons. They seemed to have trouble getting the knots untied. Barbara Chapman will have to walk home on stilts if she wants to have the supper ready in time to quell the appetites of her triplets. So we left Rhode Island, grateful to have evaded the menace of its tall build- ings and gently glided over the farm lands of Connecticut. We quietly gazed down upon Betty Shepherd, just completing her farm chores for the day. Crash! That was one of Betty’s pet Aberdeen- Anguses, (cattle to you city folks) . Any- way, it was a relief to be on the ground, and oh boy, steak for dinner! The next day I took leave of Betty and Olive, and went down to the airport again to rent another helicopter. I had been completely sold on this way of travel in the world of the future. At the airport, who should I meet but Marian Stan- wood and Dottie Harrington, just starting out on one of their globe-trotting tours. Paulie Kugler had just arrived on the Brazilian Clipper, where she was amazed to find that the stewardess was none other than Cathy Yetman. And who was waiting at the gate but Ann Kiely, expecting her husband home from a quick cross country business trip in time for supper. Just as I was about to board my helicopter, in rushed Kaysie Meissner to hop a plane for New York to Page Sixty-jour visit Jan Mercer, who is now President of the Central Directory A.N.A., and who is getting notations in Who ' s Who. I took off and headed up over the hills of New Hampshire, where I stopped for some lunch along side a little country store. Down a lane dashed three little kiddies, who when asked who they were, replied, “We re three little sisters and mama is a graduate of M.G.H. in the class of 1946. She just finished hanging out the wash for our little brother who is three months old. For the life of me, I couldn’t imagine who it was so I peeked between the bars of an old iron fence, and whom should I spy but mother Arsenault with a six-year-old lad hanging onto her old M.G.H. apron. I called to her and with her usual cheery, contagious smile, she strode over to the fence and let me in. She and I had a jolly chat, all about the fruitful class of 1946. So many were settled down, managing their own pediatric’s departments! Anita Konikow, Dolly Podolsky, Mary Rosak, Elizabeth Wolanske and Helen Gilmore! Mary Jobin was a great success as infirmary nurse at Annapolis, while Jackie Dwyer was using her pep and energy in civic affairs as well as managing a home and family. I was amazed to hear that Margie Bell was singing at some opera house in Lowell, with Lowell, and according to the rise in population of said town, they are really fine soloists. Not too far from Lowell, Amy Pinchbeck is settled down with her ex-marine from back home, and is enjoying riding around in her limou- sine while her husband is selling Puller brushes to all the socialites. Who answers the door of a huge mansion but Elizabeth Ann Rosemary Delosis Hilliard, who is now striking up relationship with Harmon to make it Harmon and Hilliard Asso- ciation. Glancing through the papers way back in August, 1949, I noticed the en- gagement announcement of Eileen Carroll to Midshipman Robert E. Wain- wright, who was then in his last year at Annapolis. Eleanor Lee Hathaway has been blessed with five baby goats up in the beautiful land of Maine, where she and her husband, who is a Tufts theological student, are banding together in a church in Thomas Jefferson, or something like that. Marilyn Farmer is now abroad for the summer, visiting her husband who is still working trying to reconstruct Germany. Lucy Forrant is often seen by Mayor Mary Gill of Boston, riding the waves of the Charles, and Lucy is the proud owner of the United Skipper racing trophy. Marie Kelly’s heart is still out on the lone prairies, and she is now superintendent of the Indian Reservation Hospital, and is quoted as saying, M.G.H. was never like this!” Marie writes that Muriel Poulin and Dorothy Gibbs are also helping to improve the health of the Indians. Muriel writes that June Carroll is now a surgeon’s wife — she form- erly was head nurse on White 8, where she will long be remembered! Mike” or rather Miss Bigelow, is night supervisor on the surgical floors and in her spare time is directing the social activities of the new classes, in which her twin nieces are excelling members. Mike” corresponds often with Alicia Karvellas, who is kept busy these days with her duties as president of the “S.P.P.”, (Society for the Prevention of Profanity). Vilma “Tini” Bettini and Robin Hood have taken to the forest. Whenever you hear the call “timber”, you know that 1 ini” is felling trees to build her home. Fran Ericson is settled down with her minister husband in Lawrence with a small chapel in her possession. The choir is led by Barbara Kelliher, who is delivery floor nurse at the Lawrence Gen- eral Hospital, and all of Mary Jesse ' s children are very talented and attentive members. Incidentally, Mary is the head of the N.L.N.E., and spends a great deal of her time in Washington. Barb Conton is back at B.U., specializing in orthopedics. Shirley Battles and brother and sister have just patented a remarkable invention, a machine that makes beds. It acts as follows: 1. The bed is stripped and the patient is warned to duck. 2. The mattress is turned, and 30 seconds later the patient is gently tossed to the floor. 3. The bottom sheet is spread tightly, and the patient is grasped by the feet and swung into bed. 4. The covers are spread and tucked in, and the precision of the corners is amazing. Anne Foisey and her flier have flown to France overnight to visit their daughter who attends Sorbonne University, and is doing great research in medical nursing. After taking leave of New Hampshire, I headed my autogiro towards western Massachusetts, where I hoped to find news of still more members of the class of 1946. And sure enough — what’s that down there? Someone having motor trouble? I landed, and sure enough, there was Marie having her usual breakdown on her public health route! Marie had just gotten a letter from Peg Perkins who has been doing some extensive traveling in the past few years. Peg had just seen Tess Wynne and sisters, starred in a new musical. And who was the bandleader but Carolyn Wight’s husband, who is a current favorite with the bobby-socker. More 1946-ers who were happy, though married, were Doris Chalmers, Nancy Cole, Pat Holden, Elise Mullins, Sally Thatcher, to her marine, and Nan West, who, I discovered is expecting her eighth! Glancing down the road I saw a sign “Little Evie Coffee Shop” [or] and de- cided to investigate. I found that the manager was Evelyn Perkins, and that, as a sideline, she was writing gags for the Bob Hope program. She added that Peggy McHugh is still “personally” seeing everyone she promised to, and that Viv Nicora is busily cooking Pizza for her little ray of sunshine. Louise Walker is in Hollywood competing with Gloria Glamourpuss for the leading role in Frank Sinatra’s new picture, “Nurse, nurse, I’m getting Worse”! Red Macintosh is modelling for shampoo ads and loving it. As I left the Coffee Shop I passed a book store where two books were prominently displayed. One was by Elsie Salmi, entitled, “How to Finish a Sweater in Three Years of Training”, and the other was “Memoirs of My Exciting Days on Ward L at B.L.I.”, by Mary Mahoney. More news! Betty Tobey and Scottie West have been visiting Ann Sage, on Sage’s ranch in Wyoming. Alberta Libby is head nursing at the Maine General, while “Mainiac” Hazel Lisheness is becoming famous for raising her mammouth home-grown potatoes. Jean Lyons is expecting her fifth! Before returning to the present, I decided that my trip would not be com- plete without a look at Boston, and M.G.H. itself. So I climbed into my heli- copter and headed east. The familiar outline of the White building soon loomed in view, and dropping lower, I made out a large open terrace with several other helicopters taxiing about. Landing, I found Helen Fitzgerald supervising the traffic. Some of the girls from the General O.R. were just leaving for an evening in New York. They were on call, but they can make it back, p.r.n. Arriving at the front door, I met Ann Cousins and Dot Blanchard and asked them to come along. We found Mr. O’Connor at the front desk- — he was in charge, ra ther feeble, but he had an assistant in the very efficient Miss Mayo. As we stood there, who walked by but Miss Hinchey as full of energy as ever. She said she loved being head nurse on Ward G, but she was having her problems with Mr. B back again. We just about reached the door to E.W. when whiz — yes, it was Eleanor Backus on her way to Baker 9, but taking it all in her stride. There, waiting to admit her were Evelyn Willard and Izzy Vartanian at the E.W. front desk, but they didn ' t get excited, for after all, Eleanor was Para IV. As we passed by one of the admitting rooms, there was Janie Lundegren who told us she was head nurse on Urology, but just came down with a G.I. upset. Right next door was Shirley King, with Bill Junior. It seems that he has a sore throat and she is quite worried about him. And in the plaster room of E.W., Vera Presentato was having a cast applied — the strong arm was injured the night before. Oh yes, as we approached the back desk we saw May Dougherty reigning supreme, and are those probs hopping! They have to, for Pauline Colby was inspecting. She was supervisor of nurses, we could tell because she carried a little red basket. As we buzzed down the corridor to pediatrics, we met Nancy Foster, head nurse on Ward 12. Nancy told us that Lee Hey was on the other end, and they had a jolly time. We learned that Rena Horan was doing non-stop flight from Chicago to Los Angeles, and was that pilot nice! Newsy too was the bit about Loretta Krol, married and living in the deep South. Penny Kimball, her side- kick, was the supervisor in Baker, with Annette Calkins, Elaine Byrne and Kay McIntyre, while Elsie Rosendale takes over on relief. But they give report to Helen Mooney and the gal with the new sparkler whom you know as Ginnie Smith. First we stopped at the famous Baker O.R., and who greeted us but Dr. Barnum — NO, not Barney! Right beside him was his ever faithful scrub nurse, the gal who does the dirty work with efficiency, Betty Gerry. Rita Dougherty was holding sway over Baker 1 1. Frances Salmon was in anesthesia, and at the moment was busy in the delivery room — you remember Louise Leveille? Time was marching on, so off to Baker 9, and head nurse Chloe Gilmore and all those familiar faces. As we went by her door, there was Kay Hallett ready for discharge, visiting with Ginnie Kloski, whose husband has taken over Dr. Thoma’s practice. They were discussing Kay’s twins. In the next room Carolyn Cook is beaming over Charlie Junior. We took the cable car, run by Mike, over to White 54, our new G.U. build- ing, added to the top floor of the White building. You see, the reason for this addition was simply because the new Nurses’ Home with swimming pool, golf course and portable bar which is taken down for inspection, just didn’t leave any more room. As we arrived, our eyes met the trim little figure of Betty Halstead C stepping from out the west wing with Irene O’Leary, both carrying the very latest modern equipment. We took the parachutes down to the nursing department on the 31st floor, where we gazed at the shining equipment. In charge was the very able Peg Shippee and Shirley Rice. They had a new piece of equipment whereby when a prob makes a mistake, three bells ring and it flashes the name and telephone number in neon lights over greater Boston. Speaking of the lighter life, we heard that Betty Bidwell was making a con- cert tour of the South American countries. This information came in a letter from Irene Deschenes, who was in the army in South Africa. Rumor had it that she was going with an engineer from the diamond mines — fascinating character. We zipped down to the first floor, and who came shooting out of T.S.O. but Lynn Munn. She had a basket full of mail to deliver to the nurses on duty. There was no more sneaking down to the postoffice at 1 1 a.m. We walked out on the Bulfinch lawn, and there, enjoying the cigarettes and coca-colas passed out by volunteers were Leona Dzekiewicz, Alice Maddern, Mary Moskos, and Elsie Shippee. All were head nurses in the White building exeept Alice Maddern, who was head of O.P.D. Heading the volunteer group was Mrs. Barbie Everberg X, with Mrs. T. Morrison, Mrs. Sue Dunbar and Mrs. Lloyd Allen. They work an hour a day for the comfort of the other nurses who work straight four hour duty. We then met Joyce MacDonald, who was guiding a group of tourists past the glassed-in Ether Dome, for all the world to see. We stopped for a chat to learn that the night supervisors at the General included Anne Calabro, Cary Viscariello and Clara Piantidosi, headed by Doris Sandquist. Then we dashed up to B8, only to find Dot Bickford, head nurse of B 7 and B8, having mid-morning snacks in the nurses ' lounge with some of the other Bulfinch head nurses, Dee Wilkin, Anne Gounaris and Ginnie Rounds. We discovered that Dr. Holder is a per- manent resident now, and he still drinks Royal Crown. Time intervened, and we must bid farewell to those ivied columns. As we approach the front door, Polly Hart bombs in, breathless as usual, just dashing through she said, from where we ll never know, but she carried a screaming child. As I paused before departing to bid farewell to Blanchard and Cousins — the former back to her chicken farm in Connecticut and the latter back to her lumber camp in the Maine woods, I prophecy the future of M.G.H. as glorious as her past. Page Sixty-eight vt-.Vv. OFF THE RECORD N EVER IN THE WORLD can all the hilarious anecdotes of training be put down in a few short pages. The unforgettable slips of tongue are parts of the bond which holds each class together. The first six months of prob days supply a wealth of fun: for example, the aspiring prob who pulled hard on a drawsheet in the true Perkins manner, only to have it split, and she to land in outraged dignity on the floor. The superb logic of a student, who, when told to empty the laundry bags, carefully emptied all the articles down the chute, folded the laundry bags and replaced them on the shelf. Remember the teacher ' s alarm in probie lab on seeing 70% of the urine tests show orange, due to someone’s questionable sense of humor in adding dextrose here and there. Of course, the quizzes were filled with bright answers about Miller-Rabbit tubes and Wangen-steam suction: and a doctor filled a scrub nurse with alarm as she hunted desperately for a long-nosed ferret on her first sympathectomy. Who can forget the first and last time” a weary nightnurse filled the un- screwable inkwells with a 30 c.c. syringe: and the nonchalence of a student’s comment, White 8, please,” to the new elevator man with a black tie, only to discover it was Dr. Faxon! Pediatrics conjures up the smell of burning nipples, and everyone’s astonish- ment that the catastrophe was discovered by supervisors in Baker, Phillips House and White building before Pediatrics saw or smelled the awful mess in the bottom of the pan — strange winds in Boston! How can the reaction of a startled student be recorded when she got stuck in the Allen Street elevator with a bundle” at two o’clock in the morning? And a Flash from B.L.F : fudge a les enfants, receipe of the week — it sounds complicated but just use No. 3 formula and chocolate syrup in any quantity, material obtained from any — floor, cool in secluded place and store away from eagle eyes of supervisors! 1946 will not forget the snappy comeback of a budding Nightingale — the doctor asks for a probe and she replies, Sorry, but I ' m the only nurse on the floor.” And rushing to the dining room after being scrubbed all afternoon on a thorocoplasty only to find spare ribs on the menu. Piece de resistance of classic first times is the night supervisor’s consterna- tion on discovering a stream of water coming to meet her down the corridor while „ the student meticulously throws the entire floor’s supply of spreads and blankets down to mop up the water; or the perfectly set-up Nelson suction that sprayed water out the door with refreshing rapidity. And so, with merry chuckles, the Class of 1946 stumbles its way toward skill and positions of responsibility, but perhaps these few anecdotes will help to explain the cause for the lasting twinkle in our eyes and the smiling affection with which we remember our classmates off the record. e It- TxnKLfi pm! EXTRACURRICULAR EXTRA VAQANZA Dear Little Sister: So you’ve decided that the nursing profession is the one for you. Admittedly I’m prejudiced, but I think yours is a wise choice. At times you will wonder if it’s worth all the mental and physical anguish, but as you proceed toward that coveted R.N., you will realize the wisdom of your choice. Perhaps you may never make a career of your profession, but marry and raise a family as so many others have done, or you may decide to go on and further your education: but whatever you do with your knowledge of nursing and its arts, your contribution as an individual to your friends, your home, and your community will be invaluable. But I fear all this serious talk will make you shudder at the prospect of these years of conscientious work. To show you how wrong your impression is, I’d like to tell you about the fun, excitement and laughter I’ve had with the Class of 1946. As you are doing, I assembled brief case, aprons eleven inches from the floor, and that bedjacket that still, unused, clutters my drawer. I dreamed of myself as curing the ills of the world with a soft, cool hand on a fevered brow [or] only to discover that first day, that I had to balance a tea cup and meet seeming thousands of equally bewildered, confused and excited girls at the Walcott House Welcoming Tea! I think the next things I remember most acutely were my aching feet and constant scramble to find my way from one place to another, ON TIME and every hair in place. Needless to say. I’m still trying to keep every hair in place. Well, after those first dreadful weeks of dashing back and forth and almost fainting with surprise the first time I was called Nurse on the ward, I was invited to the Big Sister-Little Sister Party. Honestly, I couldn ' t have laughed harder over the countless faux pas, synonymous with the probie’s efforts to learn the professional touch. The weeks slipped by faster than I dreamed and before I knew it, I was in a real flutter over the Christmas Dance our class gave that year. The Chairmen of the Dance thrilled us to pieces by arranging permission to stay out until 1 :00 a.m. I know everyone had a wonderful time because we talked of nothing but the Dance for weeks afterwards. Of course, that’s not the only dance, for I went to informal ones given for the servicemen — the first one appalled us for only four servicemen appeared — but later ones were delightful. As summer appeared again, I lived off-duty hours outdoors, sailing, riding, playing tennis and hoarding my precious extra summer late permission: I also acquired a gorgeous tan on the famous Thayer Roof Clubhouse embellished by semiphore comments from the adjacent buildings. You know, Little Sister, it is astounding how much you do in between eight hours of duty. I think now of the wonderful Hallowe’en Party, and the utterly lovely Candlelight Christmas Service at which I sang with perhaps more gusto than harmony. I don’t know how we managed to practice so regularly with everyone having different hours off duty, but the results were worth the struggles of rehearsal. Page Seventy-one Of course, to you. radios will be taken as much for granted as you take them at home. But I want you to know that radios are a coveted privilege that we feel belongs to our Class. I held my breath while our Constitution Committee worked out and obtained, among other things, a new system of late permissions that I bless every time I go out. But I can’t write another line without telling you about our marvelous Pops” and Check Capers” which the nurses and house officers put on for the delight, enjoyment and fun of the whole school. How all those busy students and doctors originated, planned, rehearsed and presented two — not just one— but two polished productions is beyond me. You see we never had a “Pops” before and since then the Rotunda always appears to me full of happy people, drinking punch and listening to the grand selection of songs and skits the students and doctors gave. I know you think the Men in White” are a serious lot, and indeed they are, but half of the hilarious incidents and teasing comes from the nimble wits of “our” house officers. Summer rolled around again with vacation a welcome pause. I know your three years will occur during peace time, but mine has been chopped up a little with many of my friends going into the service for their last six months of train- ing. Because of their departure I was so glad we had our Senior Banquet early in order to have everyone there. The Banquet, thanks to very able management, went smoothly and the faculty kept us shouting with laughter or seriously think- ing of the future. But I still haven ' t told you about Check Capers” [or]. That was even more impressive than Pops”, for it was given two nights at the Peabody Playhouse. There was a big chorus, a trio, some solos by the students and take-offs by the innimitable doctors. Thanks to all their enthusiasm, hard work and real skill, we have a wonderful Yearbook, which otherwise might not have been possible. Are you beginning to see what a varied life you will lead when you get here? I haven ' t even mentioned half the other activities which 1 remember with such deep pleasure. Consciously and unconsciously I find, as have all my class- mates. that my heart, hopes, talents and potentialities have grown, increased and become securely built into the past, present and future of this immense hospital. As a Big Sister to a Little Sister, let me assure you that each day’s fatigue, uncer- tainty, and heartache is more than adequately balanced by peace, accomplishment and great joy shared with real friends. Make each day count, for it is gone before you know it. Your Big Sister Page Seventy-tu o CHECKS Faculty Advisers .... Editor ' Managing Editor .... Editorial Assistant .... Business Manager ....

Through their able, enthusiastic and progressive leadership they have revised the Constitution and made possible many new privileges for the entire student body. DORMITORY BOARD Monthly meetings have been held by the Dormitory Board to study and act on problems arising in the various nurses’ homes. These are attended by the matrons, head proctors, and a representative from each house. Front row: J. Swart, A. Lowe, N. Keohane, A. Konikow, B. Pearson, Miss Sleeper.

The Drawsheet has an extensive exchange list composed of many of the largest schools in the country. Advised by Miss Ruth Sleeper, the editors and staff have attempted to publish material which would be both humorous and interesting to the readers and are eager to print any letter of opinion sent in by members of the student body. THE SETON CLUB First row: Dorothy Drury, Mary Wallace, Jacqueline Dwyer, Mary Donnelly. Back row: Father Wallace, Mrs. Andrews. The Seton Club is entering into its third year of activity with an increasing number of students and graduates attending the monthly meetings. The Club Choir, which was organized in 1944, is under the direction of Tess Wynne with Muriel Poulin as organist. Among the guest speakers during the year were Dr. Fremont-Smith, Mr. David Gold- stein, LL.D., Reverend D. L. Wright, Dr. Joseph Stanton, Dr. Christo- pher Duncan, Dr. G. Spellman and Miss Mary Maher. “MISS SULLIVAN” Our Miss Sullivan, now Mrs. Roy Chamberlain, has been the cheery spirit watching over the Palmer-Davis Library and its changing visitors. As probationers it was she who unravelled the mysteries of the American Journal of Nursing, helped us pursue material for our case studies, and bought text books for our growing personal libraries. Although sometimes mystified by the sudden migration of students for a glass of water about the time the mail was sorted, she still man- aged to keep us in good order during study hours and reminded us of classes when we became completely absorbed. Unfortunately for us, Mrs. Chamberlain has left us to rejoin her husband in Seattle, but we earnestly hope she will carry with her the affectionate regard with which the Class of 1946 remembers her. Page Eighty AM ; Once there was a little girl whose name was Phyllis Fumble, And everything she had to do would always make her Grumble. So many times she fussed and fumed, that soon she did complain Of aches and pains throughout her head, and atrophy of Brain. Now this is what happened, she was taken sick one day And came to M.G.H. for a short hospital stay. She learned from all the nurses the story of their fix And told me all the scandal of the Class of Forty-six. In reading this you may recall those days back in September, And the easiest way to start is to say “Do you remember?”, The days of Bright Blue Dresses, the days of tight stiff belts. The days when new shoes pinched so tight you longed to wear old felts. Those early days in Thayer when we learned to make a bed — Repractice slips, our aching backs, the swear words that we said. Sunday, on the wards at last — what a day to clean! How elbow grease was hunted for, something still unseen. As probies, too, we studied hard for every class each day, And yet some people still got through and some had time for play. Our free time was quite rationed for sleeping and what we ate — No wonder figures grew in size and everyone gained weight. A sound, a stir, a booming noise, the Probs are up at last! The tramp of feet along the walk as shiny shoes go fast. The names are called in rapid roll — the last ones to appear, We all could tell when the P ' s had come by the haughty answer here. Remember, too, the old refrain, with utility room stacked high, “Sorry, haven ' t been supervised, says a Prob with a twinkling eye. Remember dear old Charles Street — one night you must recall The long dark stairs, the shaky tread, alas — a thudding fall. Some left us then, and in our hearts we thought that they were saps, No day was half as thrilling as the day we got our caps — A pert white piece of crinoline was all they seemed to be. Yet a lump of gold on my swollen head would seem far less to me. And then began our struggles, and now it can be told — Those corridors in Baker so long, unfriendly, cold. Relief and things beyond belief, the lights would flash and blaze Temps. Post-ops and Bedpans make the planning just a maze. ye oepc corn i rpircK, You see, the story Phyllis told was really quite a tale, She told of Nights, Narcotic Counts, of nurses growing pale. She told me of the Allen Streets, she even named the day A certain girl of ' 46 was sent to the D.K. A Bulfinch floor with census 20. and tho ' 1 know it ' s rare, This girl planned 20 different diets and served with utmost care. High Cal, Cream Soup and Frappes each day were things the patients drunk’, A batch of nice cool junket, which always failed to junk. O.P.D., the nurses liked for freedom was sublime — The work’s not hard, you’re free from care and oh! what time! Relieving tho’, is just no joke when it comes up every day White 5, 6. 7, E.W.— Medical experience that way. As days flew by we all improved, at least we tell that story — - The O.R. now, exciting life, a day all filled with glory — The surgeons scream, the icy glare, the sutures seem to fly Needles just aren ' t threaded right, and someone just can’t tie. A sweet side line to an intern, with haughty professional air Is a trick you learn quite early, but must be used with care . And if, by chance, you make mistakes, remember — write a letter — Don’t say Dear Dr. Doe, just Dr. is much better. Through rain and sleet, through sun and snow, we kept up with our buddies, But we’ll confess that nothing was as horrid as case studies. And tho’, as seniors, we studied less, the question still is heard — What can it be? Will we ever know? Has someone found THE word? Those days of over sleeping when alarms had failed to ring, The midnight oil burning bright ’til you couldn’t see a thing. The days of blistering summer, the icy midnight showers, The baths we stole and suffered for when ten had passed by, hours. The story Phyllis told to me can never go to print, But I hope you read between the lines of this vague and censored hint, And I hope the school remembers, as time its marking ticks, T he girls who got their whites at last — way back in Forty-Six. |K i i RLg| 1 H R. « Rii r rTI 431 ir 1 v 3 -1 h • a ■ pu v JL CL 7 ; - • ' t IS ITi Wk, m% 1 ' •.• • ' ••••■ .
