[ 10 } C oncerlo for 16 pieces in V hlat Allegri 1 lie Hat had five flights, liot and cold run- ning water, a not so handy handy-man named Tom, and 16 new tenants. To most of us, it was known as 92 Charles Street, the MCfH dormitory for lirst year students. Needless to say. our lirst impression was one of depression. The introductor ' tea was more introductions and less tefi; ■e smiled wanly for the photograjihers, and were propelled to a place called the Moseley Rotunda, where we were oriented to the rigors of 6:43 roll call and 7:30 A.M. classes. 1 he effect was devastating. WHiy ' e didn t take off en masse that evening for our respect iv’e homes is still puzzling. Back at the dormitory on Charles Street, we were issued room instructions and ward- robe keys by our new housemother. The in- structions were immediateU ' [Hit out of sight and out of mind: the keys were put out of sight. Roommates cast suspicious glances at each other, and curious glances at each ol her s clot I les. But soon misfits in both per- sonalities and wardrobes were adjusted, and the show was on. h‘ pictured ourselves as protagonists in a play that had a six months run in Thayer Class Room. Outfitted in light gray smocks that bore a startling resemblance to new po- tato sacks, we struggled blindly towards the light of a C average. 1 he smocks un- fortunately wore heautifidly: we were mis- taken many times for Phillips House maids (w lio also wore gray) much to the chagrin of both parties. The C average was harder to keep intact: how many times did w ' e change lieds without putting the laundry hag in proximity, or startle the world of biochemistry by formidating new and utterly useless com- [jounds! Soon. hut not soon enough for many of us, we were measured for and given our temporary blue school unilorms. Ibis, coupled with defin- ite Wf ircl assignments, restored our faith in our profession as nurst ' s. and v e worked liard and occasionalK well. ' ‘r well. .Sometimes not wisely, hut too well. And then came the occasion we were all eagerly anticipiiting. the cajjping ceremony. Someone unkindly compared our treasures to Hood s cottage cheese boxes; nohocK knew (or did everyone?) how highk’ we prized our little cheese ho.xes, or with what due respect and consideration we wore them. And SO. fet ' linjJ rcillicr omni|:olenl and or IdK as all lledgl ings do. we engaged in v arious rictiv itii ' S. planning dances, part es, and now and then trying to remember how to sfucK’. h‘ found ourselves being elected to various hoards. (Impossible! We had already broken practically every existing rule. ery good psychology, was the grudging compliment. They either wanted us to sug- gest new ones, or to stop breaking the old ones by being forced to set an example.) And we changed dormitories. No longer the gurls from 92 Churles, ” w ' e were merely th ‘ ungracious tenants of Thayer House’s third Hoor alley who were darkly sus))ected of smoking i llegally in our rooms. Not jieople to he trilled with, the training school office sent us all home for a three week vacation ai id shortK ' tl lerealter changed our dormi- tor - again. There was a new class coming in. Adagio Our favorite instructor during prohie peri- od had once musingly remarked that she regarded the second year student as being the most fortunate one in the school. Hav- ing one vear of training behind her she was well oriented to the hospital and its routines: having one year of training ahead of her, she was as yet not bothered by thoughts of graduation and post graduate jilans. Thus catalogued, we pleasantly reminded our- selves, This is the happiest year of our lives. ” [ 13 } 1 lius buoyed, we cfuickly took advantage of our newly found sujjreniacy. W exjjeri- mented. W found out tliat doctors bad clay feet, that medical students knew less about liospital procedure than we did, tliat iiead nurses were really very nice people, that mixing medications in one syringe re- sulted only in preci])itation and pciyment for I be syringe, and finally and beartbreakingly, that we really weren’t so terrific after all; in fact, tbe only jieople wbo held us in remark- able esteem were ourselves. But we were adjusted. There was no doidit about it. And it was a very comfortable thought. So comfortable that we must have bad tendencies toward stagnation, for we were ordered out of our comt lacency and sent to concjuer new fields — affiliation was in progress. B.I..1. received us matter-of-factK . Appar- (Mitly we were not tbe first group of General students to study obstetrics. Xor tbe best. W’ e were oriented into all tbe details of parent-child care and education, and were sternly advised not to capitalize on tbe fact lliat tbe fire door at tbe end of our corridor was left open at all hours. It was at B.1..1. tliat we bad our first opportunity to wear our newlv issued checked uniforms and to dis- rard the flattering, but unofficial blues which we bad been using temporarily because of the material shortage. Orientation at McLean was different. T did not seem to be alone in our struggle to find adjustment; a comforting tbougbt at first, and then on second tbougbt. exlremeb- rliscomforting. T adjusted promptly, and soon a whole new and different nursing ex- perience was opened before us. Back at ISIGjH again, we were pleasant Iv aware of tbe fact that tbe grass is not alwavs greener on tbe other side and that it was good to be at borne once more. There were new faces, the necv stu- dent program was well under way. and lif(uid narcotics had put in their conlusing ajrearance. T soon joined tbe ranks of frustrated morphine estimators and got readjusted, f erhaps it was the best year of our training after all. Allegro But it was the long shot, our third year, that came in first after all. It was wi th def- initeb’ renewed vigor that we started on tbe last lap of tlie race. Peril aj s it was because we realized that time was slipping by rapid- ly, and that we still bad so many things to accomplish in this period that we exerted our- selves. b trying to perfect our procedures, to learn those things which we ought to bcive learned so long ago. and incidentally to assert ourselves in other ways. h‘ planned the bi-weekly orientation dances to raise year book funds, made dubious lasting victuals for fudge and brownie sales, and re- hearsed for another money-making venture, tbe minstrel show. W ' e thought with great foresight of our senior formal and made wild and then sensible post-graduate jalans. We realized, that in spite of having ac- (luired a good working know ledge of nursing arts, that we were critically in need of more study and (iraclice. In other words, tbe more we learned, tbe more we knew we bad to learn. T discovered much to our surprise, that we were not merely tolerating people, but were actually getting along with people, that e held dropped our earlier desj:)erately defen- sive attitude, and bad adojited. somewhat unconsciously, a more open minded view- point. Indeed if this attitude were tbe single di idend to be acquired from training, 1 think three years would be an adequate investment. 1 liese jiast semesters have been some- times turbulent, sometimes calm, sometimes hilarious, and sometimes heartbreaking, but never dull. And we can say with those others, that we are proud to have tbe priv- ilege of being an MGH graduate. Barbara K.

Rigbl after I sent the telegram from North Station 1 met four other girls who were trying to get a taxi to the hospital, so eve all rode there together. W asked the driver for the Charles Street Nurses Dormitory. We un- loaded our luggage and found tliat we were at the Eye and Ear Infirmary Nurses Home. Three blocks later we finally found 92 Charles Street. My room is on the fifth floor. No elevator. 1 he rooms are large and I share mine with a student from New Hampshire. Imogene and 1 went to tea to- gether and met very many interesting people. Before sup])er one of the instructors di- vided us alphabetically into sections, gave us meal-tickets, and told us that we could eat up to $1.40 worth of food each day. That ev’ening our big sisters took us out for sodas. I guess they enjoyed some interesting ex- periences at Charles Street, as one ran see from the stories which they tell. It certainly was a trying ordeal to arise at six o clock the next morning — our first day ns student nurses. We had to he in our dressy grey uniforms and at the hospital at 6: 50 . .M. for ro II call and inspection. The supervisors and instructors gave us the traditional cootie” party that night, and it was really loads of fun. I guess it s just one of those games which require skill be- cause the instructors seemed to draw the funniest cooties . There s more excitement coming. A minstrel show, the June Eormal. — the MCiTi Pops, and the caj ping on June 21 are all on the coming agenda. We ve spent the rest of the week getting lost in the maze of tunnels at J IOH, trying to find our classes, labs, and the lodge. East night our big sisters gave a party just for us. There were skits, singing, games, and we certainly enjoved every minute of it. See you this weekend. Eoads of love, Liz I received your most welcomed letter in the morning mail. You must he having a wonderful time at college. W all got ter- rific Ians this summer on the roof and at the beaches near here. W spent many a Jid ’ evening on the esplanade, listening to the lioston Pops Orchestra no less. We (“ven went sailing occasionally. Do ou realize that we re no longer proh- ies? A new class came in a week ago and do our new caps feel swish! We had a fcishion show the other night to raise money for the yearbook. I wish you coidd ha ’e been here — the clotl les were ter- rific. Before the modeling some of the girls sang, jjlayed the piano, etc. The strangest thing happened, though. There was only one man in the audience! that as long as I live. Every other week we have informal dances in Walcott f loust in living room, and I m going to he sure to he there this Eriday. E ’eryone has so much fun. ! Til never understand UJE (-lAO 3f-)OCJE(Tsi’ I must sign off now. I m going on a picnic at Lincoln.

Johnnie has probably told you all about the Christmas formal. By tradition our class sponsored it. W really did ourselves proud on the decorations. It was a wonderful dance and we were given a one o’clock privilege. I jz and 1 event to the Nursing School Office this afternoon for tickets for the play.

Seeing the glow’ of a lamp in one of the rooms, we knocked on the door. After a few minutes had passed, it creaked slowly open and a bent old woman stood before us! After w ' e told her of our plight, she reluctantly offered to let us spend the night with her. As w ' e reached the top of the rickety staircase going to our room she jjaused before a closed door and peering at [ 25 } US with darting eyes, slie warned us not to go near a certain room. W ' e got into hed. pulled the hlanhets up over our heads and shivered (and slowly suffocated). All we coidd thinh of was this mysterious house, the little old woman and what was hehind the closed door. Alter a long struggle, curi- osilN’ got the hest of us. W crept down the ha II. All was silent. C fathering ujj our last flit of courage, we slowly opened the door. It was pitch darh. All of a sudden we heard footsteps hehind us coi7iing down the hall. Startled heyond thinking, we dashed into the room. As we reached the center of the room we suddenly step))ed on a soft, thick rug. SW IS-S-S-S-H — Before we knew wot hoppened we found our- selvt ' s fixing through space in the year IQOO! Collecting what was left of our courage, wits, and what hax ' e you. we i eaked oxer the edge of the rug and found oursefxes in the state of i ' laine. Beloxx’ us xvas a heautilid sea-side estate. I.ooking in xve could see f ete Kerr xvith her dexot ‘d (and filthy rich) hushand having coffee before the lire. Zooming across country, xve xvere oxer Nexx ' Hampshire looking in on the model farm of tl le Yellands. Ruth xvas noxv a full Hedged farmer. Continuing doxvn countrx’, xve recognized lassachusetts. Flying oxer Alma Mater xve could see Margie Dickinson gixing report to , Iarx O Keefe as they changed shifts on a l ediatric Hoor. I he next thing xve noticed was a xx hite Cape Cod cottage xvhich xvas the home of the noxv married Fffie Connors, a dinner party xxas in process in the honor of Fyn Meinelt xvho at present is doing jjrixate dut y in the Phillips House. liefore xve knexv it, xxe xxere in Connecti- cut and looking floxvn xxe coidd see a house rocking on its foundation and lairix ' bursting at the seams xxilh redheads and Be-fF)p”. W ithout looking txxice, xve knexv it xvas Kitty Ay let t and her family enjoying the usual cjuiet ex ' ening at home. Xot more than a sxvish axxax ' (as a rug Hies) xxe xxere ox’er the great metropolis of Morris and could see Rosemary Miller chug- ging along in her Model- 1 hi ' ginning her daily x’isits in the .X.A. Ki ' eping a straight course, xve soon xxere ox’er Xi ' xx ' ' t ork. (Fahhing a nexx’spaper as it xvhirled hy us xve eagerly read of tlu- seasons most talked about party to he gixen hy Socialite Martha W ' are Shaxx’. A gust of xxind sxvept the paper from our hands, carrxing it doxxn to the feet o f M. C rregory. as this spirited director of Xexv ork s l uhlic f fealth Serx’ice xvearily turned toxvards home after another hilarious day of pushing pen- cils across paper. Turning into the xxind and hanging on lor dear life, xve headed lor Washington. D. C. Once there xve soon spotted Carol f fazel- tine in her role as Chief l ill-doler for the President and his Cabinet. Shifting into high, xvithout disruiiting our equilibrium, xve soon found ourselxes oxer Detroit. Michigan. Here xx’e came upon a spraxxTing ranch house and discoxerecf thir- hara Fink ancf her husband saddling up for their morning canter. Hitting as many air pockets as possible and zig zagging across the ocean xve came to the peaceful island of Bali Hai. the home of Irene l.amansky Sprague, the xvife of the nexxTy appointed Admira I of llie Ha- waiian Fleet. Racing xvith the moon and keeping our eyes peeled for any falling stars, xve glided in over Fa Belle France. WV suddenly sxverxed and just axoided a head on collision xvith a IF29 in xvhich rode Army Flight Xurse Juanita Duhe. In spotting us she xvaxed her parachute out the bombbay door. W ' ithout realizing xx hat xvas hajrpening xve xvere Hying into the xvindoxv of the Xurses Home of the American Hospital in Paris and found ourselves in the suite belonging to T.id Bell and Barbara Karbaum and haxe thex’ fjecome the French gals ooh-Fa- Fa! Taking off xve headed back toxvards I ' vexx T ork. Our nax igator miscalcu lated and xxe flumped into the f ' .mpire State fjuilding and xvere tumbling doxvn xvhen xve xvoke up to find this strenuous night xvas all a dream aiuf xvondered xvhat really xxas in store for us ten years from noxv. The F.N’d f Tt ] hrmigli the “ [poking Cjlass W liat heller way to renew old memories, tlian to walk down famous Charles Sireet towards ihe General. This was the idea that was in our minds as we passed the old an- tique shops lining the street. As usual one of them was selling out and we ch ' cided lo step in and hrowse among the anticiues. As we stepped in. our eyes lighted upon ci shiny crystal hall w ' ith a sign w ' hich read Wdlh a glance, the future is yours . As we looked in. much to our surprise w ' e saw ' ourselves starting on a trip. The fol- lowing is an account of this very journey. T had just stopped the Ccir in New Market. New Hampshire, w ' hen who should come along hut Norma ICisson pushing a haf)y carriage with her 5 little hoys heside her. While talking lo her we learned t hat in her spare time she designs student tiurses uniforms. As we crossed the sireet Connie f indsay (rractically knocked us down with her bicycle. She told us she was leaching Scjuare Dancing in VTrmont and that fiarh Holm was the gal who called the dances. We sent our hest wishes via Connie to l-ou Ann McKenzie who is Supervisor of N arses at Burlington Cieneral Hospital. 1 hree days later we arrived at f alm lieach. Florida, where we saw Marjie Barrett and Fran- nie Bl ackwell. the famous authors o f the hook Advice lo a Young Bride. 1 hey told US that Doris fhggs had gone into the Interior Decorating business at Sarasota, hut was soon going lo gi e it up to become Night Supervisor at MC� H. While we were shop- pitig in I exas we bought a Carovision Set. the newest thing in television sets. It W ' as invented hy Caroline Kilmer aided by her many NI.I. I . adm irers. As we turned on the set we saw .June Ford announcing ' Girls in I lue . the story of 3 navy nurses. The parts were plaved hy Ginnv Kellv. I3ettv Fifield and “Fllie” Burns. On the next pro- gram. America s lamous actress, Claire ( iril- lin, was starred. Our next stop was Virginia, w here we saw Fock Eve and Bel ICousseau. Lock has given up her title of Miss America to become Sujjerxisor of a hospital there, lietty is studying lo hecotne a Veterinarian. As we were tired ol riding we decided lo take an airplane to Newfound- land where we learned that Ida Carnell was a Pidilic Health Nurse majoring in Com- iT)unicahle diseases. So far she has otdy been ill with the measles and mumps. She told us she had received a letter from Pat Briggs, who had just started teaching Ob- stetrics at the Rhode Island Lying-In Hos- ()ital. She also had a letter from Pat Duns- moor who is an Army Nurse. Wdiile wailing for the plane to take us to the Canadian woods we picked up a paper and the headlines were “.June Moore receives citation as America s Model Mother Af- ter reaching the woods we stopped at a lum- ber camj) to ask directions. Much to our sur))rise the owners were Mar ’ Ann Melzer and .Joyce J rentiss. They informed us that they built sturd ' furniture for Nurses dor- mitories. Our next slop was Alaska where we found that Fou Miol ene and Claire J3alm- forth had just opened up a home for Ex- hausted C rold Miners . 1 he chief speaker at ihe dedication ceremony was Rachel ICown. author ol a new hook on hospital procedures. When we reached California, we were ad- vised to see the exclusive magazine I nicjue Dress Designs , the author being A. Rickel- son. It was published by the Appropriate f)ress for the J opular Nurse J id lishing Co. the president of wliich is Connie Harri- son. “Connie told us that NIarie NIatthews and her husband w ' ere giving skiing lessons to student nurses in Seattle. V asli. In New York we had our hair styled hy the famous st list Marcia Coj)pelman. Also, there having her hair done, was Dr. “Chello Arias who was planning a tour of the w orld.

Nellie F Rickie P CKtAJS OP� FOR -Cftsy Voo 6£T THC. oF [ 26 ] I oclay. after lun ina linislied i7ty work. I was walking clown rremoni Slrec‘1. 1 In cold February air seemed to stinudate me into a mood of reminiscing. It certairdy clidn t seem like 10 ears since we were all working and stuciving at dear olclMCdl. My. how tiu ' years have llown. 1 %vas attracted by a crowd of people across the street. I saw a familiar face on a platform. I coiddn t believe it. but it was Ann I - wis. She was campaigning lor the lOOl tuber- cidosis drive. After the rally was over I bailed her. After man ' hellos and flow are you. we started conversing about all the kids. It seems that this tour has enabled her to see many of them. Ann informed me l eggy ' M ay is in ew York nursing her eight children, while Michelle Rexmond is modeling nurses uni- lorms for the I ' . S. Navy. Wdien Ann was in Maine last week she ran into Sue Ad- ams who is employc ' cl as nurse at l owcloin College and Fran Cira bam. who is fixing aboard a yacht in Camden. Maine. As I bax ' e been fixing in lioston. I told b er ol the many changes; such as Sally Mac (.fuarrie being assistant to Miss Marx ' Smith xxbo has taken ox ' er Miss l erkins position in the Nursing Department. .Joan YlacKicban is married and xxorking as bead nurse in C.S.R. We then decided to go ox’er to IFoxelli s l izza Shop to continue our discussion, bop ing that she may baxe some nexvs from the rest of the class. Since there xvas a lull in business at this hour. Ylarguerite found it possible to contribute to the conxersal ion. She told us that l at Mart in was sjiecial nurse and adxiscxr on cardiac fractures at M.l.T. fraternilics, and that of all ihintjs Joyce Corbett xvas bouse mother at Sigma l bi Epsilon. W ' e also learned that .leanne Derrab bad just finished a post graduate course and is xxorking mornings at C hihlren s Hospital and afternoons at Boston l.x’ing-ln. v e xvere c(uite surprised to bear that Ylarx A I ice Reilly xx ' as in Calcutta. India, xxork- ing as a Missionary nurse, and that ' Oerry Smith xxas prix’ate nurse to an oil man in Ynezuela. As xve xvere talking, in xva Iked ' ivianne And erson xxbo is noxv head nurse of the hsiting Nurses Association in f oston. SI le told us ol I etty Smith s gilt of cjuaciruplets to society, xx ho finds time to xvork at Cushing ( leneral Hos[)ital in Framingham. W ' e I earnc ' cl that M arion Cairns xxas a nurse at her husband s IY)ys School, and that Nancx ' (Torclon bad opened a Nursing Home for fractures in the A|)palachian Mts. hvianne had brought the Daily Record in xvith her and xve scanned the front page xve noticed that Ann Yfoclder is the nexx ' sxvimming instructor at YfCafls sxximming l ool on the fFdfinch laxxii. W ' e also read xvliere Charlotte Raymond xvcrs modeling her nexv sensational nailpolish called, Fink Polka f ot Inlaid. W all laughed as xve read that MCfl had just receivc ' cl a tiexx set ol campus laxvs put out by h-llen Curtis. I told tile girls that the MCfH yearbcioks xxere much nicer noxx that Mary Cipriani xxas painting the graduate portraits lor them, but t hex fell xery sorrx xvben I told them that Fou Hudson xvas still xxailing to lx reliexed from I FI labor room, xvhere she is still Irx- ing to olitain her 12 cases. As xxe xvere about to leaxe. iti came M a r i e Himelsbach, bursting xvith front page nexvs. It seems M arilyn Rutherford XV h o XX a s chosen America s Ideal Mollier last year won 1st prize this year in the ogue Knitting contest — and Sxixia Tin ■ng s nox el Inside seller list. .Yfler xxe became settled again. Marie told us that Donna Berry, happily married, xvas also xxorking part-time in the Windsor Hospital, and that Pal Hastings is serxing lea, ' Ah ' rmont Style, in Seattle. And as for Ylarie. she is just plain duchess to her duke. 1 HE Fnii r 27 ] Shr iFUmntrr Jfuihtiniiak piriiijr I solemnly pledge myself before C� od and in tlie presence of this assemhK to jiass my life in parity and to practise m profession failhfalK ' .
