MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL SCHOOL OF NURSING spital MAiSACHyserrs � E1RI1 A SONG FOR M. G. H. Words by Margaret Dieter, 1916 Her ivied columns rise to meet The glory of the Bulfinch dome. Serene, unruffled, beautiful She waits to bid us welcome home. W hat if she gave us arduous toil. She taught us reverence for our work To ease tile suffering, lighten pain There is no task we dare to shirk. f rom many lands, o er many days We brought to her our restless youth. And she with patience took us all And set us in the way of truth. When life and death are side by side. And creeds and races strangely blend. To share these things from day to day She helped us each to find a friend. Stern Teacher, kindly too, withal, w Iio saw the faults we could not liide And building on our better selves. Sbe wrought results that shall abide. Ob. Gracious Guardian of our past. Tin chil dren rise to honor thee. God bless and keep you. M. G. H. Secure through all the years to be.

W e thank you lor sharing with us your rich and varied ex- periences and for revealing to us the unlimited op- portunities for service to our communities hoth as citizens and as nurses. In appreciation, Miss Farrisey, we dedicate our yearbook to you. RUTH SLEEPER. R.N., M.A. Director of the School o| Nursing and Nursing Service SLEEPER’S MESSAGE Dear Seniors: As always when I am away from home I tend to listen to new ideas and methods with the School and you in my mind. Would the new idea be workable at home? Would it improve our program? Would you, as students, benefit? And most important of all would it enable you to learn to give better patient care? At a recent meeting which I attended in Geneva, at the World Health Organi- zation. nurses from nine different countries drew up a description of the kind of professional nurses needed in all countries throughout the world. Many of the characteristics described you already know. 1 his nurse was to be well prepared through general education and in nursing. She was to be a teacher of patients, auxiliary workers, and community groups. She was to be well adjusted in ber living, her work, her relationships with others, and one who would use her educa- tion to make the necessary changes when the situation warranted. But two other characteristics in this description seem especia Hy appropriate at this time when you commence a new era in your careers. First, that the kind of nurse needed everywhere should be one who had developed a sense of personal and professional responsibility. And second, that this nurse sh ould h ave the capacity for. and the will to seek, continual growth and educational development. In a way these two are similar for one who possesses personal and professional responsibility will wish to continue her education to be adequately prepared tomorrow as well as today. You, who have achieved your diplomas, have tangible evidence that this neces- sary capacity is yours. Whether without continuing supervision and guidance you will have the will to seek further growth will be your problem. As you leave the School, you leave behind the educational program planned for you. You have in a sense grown from adolescence to adulthood in nursing education. What you learn now as an adult is your responsibility. Education is a conscious process. It is not just a matter of going to school, to receive what others have planned for you. Education must be actively sought. Opportunities hereafter will continue to lie in the daily work assignment, the daily reading and recreation. But the quest for them will be yours. May you have the vision to see the opportunities which will have value for you. May you have the determination to reach upward and outward for the new opportunities which will bring continuing growth. Success and happiness to each one of you from all the Faculty.

You turn and stretch; the hells ring on. Six-fifteen! Open dreary eyes— Everywhere are weary sighs. But then you start a swifter pace; You brush a tooth and wash your face. On with panties, bra. and dress. Shoes and stockings — what a mess! Comb your hair — what a fright! Should have put it up last night. Grab your books and hope and pray You’ve got the ones you II use today. So bright and early in the morn. You step into a dismal dawn. When you reach the Moseley door. Your checkroom number loud you roar. But everyone has got there first. And so you follow with a curse. When you reach your ro I leal I place. Sweat drizzling down your brow and face. You wait and wait quite pale and weak While other sections go to eat. Eat your breakfast — soon you re through. And off to nursing lab go you. S. C. today! ' t ou dread them sort a. Hope you don t strike someone s aorta! Give a cleansing footsoak . — fun! Hope his johnny doesn I run. P.R.N. straps — what a creation. Thank heavens not actual ward situation ! Then off to the postoffice, usually just To look, cause your friends let their fountain pens rust. 1 hen on to another anatomy trance. While you study real hard with a ponder- ing glance. The muscles, the brain, the liver, the heart.— Has she started, or finished, or mentioned that part? M. G. H. deficit you II nullify — Just sell the lecture as a prize lullaby. Then pharm lecture; how boring it seems. 1 here s twenty-two lights and sixteen crossbeams. The walls are tan and streaked with brown. What interesting marks on the floor you ve found! What? Is she crazy? She won t even smile. She said to tune in, but there isn t a dial. Then gastric convulsions cause you a pain. So o ff to the caf you fly once again. Found in line early? Wh at a sacl fate! With her tray full of lunch teacher tells you to wait. w ards this after ? Darn it. you re on! 1 hey assign you an hour that s two hours long. Dry sterile dressing? You wish you were through. Should be a conductor, the shaking you do. I . P. R. s, too? Brotl ler, what else? Is twenty the fever, or breathing, or pulse? Then dash down to Walcott; how fruitless the quest To f ind some bright day an “A” on a test! Another day s over, classes are done. So back to your rooms, each tired one. Lie down with your studies, down on your beds; Soon into slumber go your poor heads. Working and sweating and struggling so. Why do you do it ? 1 lope someday you’ll know!

Mor- bidly Moribund, prominent mouse in rodent circles, was winding up the 4th annual cele- bration of the transition of his family from the home of a dieting Beacon Hill spinster to the cornerful dormitory at 92 C harles Street. 1 he gaiety was forced, the party an empty farce and J. Morbidly was not pleasant on approach . J he reason — this New Dormitory, his present home. It was a curse on rodent civilization — a damnable structure and 90 proof — fireproof, dust- proof. manproof, and mouseproofl! J. Mor- bidly beat his bony breast and his eyes misted with tears ol regret as he thought o( happier days . . . ... the day the Moribunds moved into 92 Charles with the class of 52 — food from home and free entertainment. I hose girls were funnv even when they were serious. Th at two hour nursing class wi th M iss Per- kins must have been a doozie. Rodent rumor had it that the line at the drinking fountain for daring dozers was a long and tortuous queue. Culminating the fir st six months with that supper for the faculty was a tremen- dous idea — slippery spaghetti sure stripped them ol their dignity. J. Morbidly had dif- ficulty. however, matching the descriptions of classroom personalities with the congenial guests that arrived. Well, the sojourn at C harles Street en ded up eventually— as all things do — and J. Mor- bidly seized the opportunity to break away from his provincial family and travel. He would go with the students to I hayer. Park- man. Roxbury, and maybe even to Waverly — what a cosmopolitan mouse lie woidd be! After all Mary had her little lamb, why shouldn t the class of 52 have .1. Morbidly? So, he put on his Curity Sponge travelling coat, tucked some leftover pizza in his pocket and headed for Thayer in the Suitcase Ex- press. or Roving Rodent 55 .... the first full day on the wards — J. Morbidly chuckled as he thought of the creditable product w lio, according to pro- cedure, started out wi th her newspaper bag. When she returned to the unit and found the bag dismantled and the patient reading the comic section, the expression cutting corners took on a profound and personal significance. Off to B.L.I. — the housemother there amazed J. Morbidly. Equipped with a back- ground of super-duper detecting, she sensed his presence immediately. Oddly enough she did not discriminate and treated him in exactly the same manner s he reserved for the students. McLe ‘an — goll ing, tennis, hr i c Ifle. and in- digestion — the swimming at Walden pond and resting under the Will ows — Heaven in the vernacular of the students. “Oh gallant, gallant seniors, we are the cream of the crop. J. Morbidly remembered the new seniors singing that song as if it were yesterday in- stead of a year ago — at this point his sponge rub ber couch was juicy with sentimental tears. An old cap became J. Morbidly s dress shirt for the senior prom — he went with his sister and did he feel out ol place! Engaged couples were the order of the day so he stayed mostly with the students from the fourth floor of Walcott. Baccalaureate and Graduation— it seemed that the strains of Pomp and Circumstance had no sooner died than J. Morbidly was alone and friendless. One day, while languidly loping aroun d Wal cott, he heard that a 52er had returned as a clinical in tern. Morbidly scurried over to the new dormitory and moved into the bottom draw- er of her ult ra-modern desk, hoping to re- capture something of his former life . . . but. J. Morbidly will never recover that some- thing because it was the spirit of the class of 52. Anna G. and Jean A. 41 SEPTEMBER CLASS WILL We’ve pleaded, wept, intimidated and blackmailed.

February 28, 1950— the day we entered — Will we ever forget it! I he impressiveness of the huge White Building — the endless corridors — all the tunnels that led to so many different places (as we soon found out). Registering, receiving our meal tickets — complete with ten easy lessons in How to eat a well balanced diet on just so much money — meeting our new roommates and settling in our rooms at Charles St. and 1 hayer — running to the welcome tea to meet our new instructors — how friendly everyone was: — how they tried to m ake us feel at home— how our parents wished us luck and kept smiling, and after they left how lone- some we were ! But not for long! Do you remember our big sisters taking us out for a sundae that first evening ? They all looked so healthy and happy — so sure of them- selves. We were positive that we woidd never reach that point. Reach it we did. dear classmates, but not without a struggle. It was up at six the next morning (the middle of the night said we!) and off to roll call. Soon we would learn that with prac- tise in the half mile dash, weary probies coidd get a few extra winks of sleep, but that was yet to come. So were other things, we found out that day. We must have physicals, they told us coyly. So we forty- nine were herded (clad in pajamas and bathrobes, mind you) thru all departments of the Out Patient Department. Blushing wildly, our little hearts beating like mad, we were examined from our shining heads right down to our polished toe nails . . . . But we had vowed to suffer through it and suffer we did. In the afternoon books were passed out — a sight to behold it was, too— forty nine of the so called weaker sex trudg- ing back to the dormitories arms full of books. Little ones and big ones, but no matter what size, all of them heavy! We began reading the books — studying is the word. Classes, exams, studies and more exams. M iss Perkins teaching us Nursing, Mi SS Dolloff trying to help us un- derstand Anatomy, Mrs. Fernandez explain- ing how HjO got that way, Miss Cole pacifully telling us how to make cocoa, and our discovery that the dishcloth in same really added a little something to the flavor. Mr. Kaplan and the petri dishes; and of course let us always remember those who were conquered by Pharmacology — brave souls they. For that matter, we must have all been pretty brave to have been able to come through in one piece. Lest we sound like martyrs, we might re- member the play that went along with the work. Dear o Id Ch arles St. — the niglit we dressed up a doll in a classmate s clothes. — going through the fire doors on the fourth floor — studying for exams those hot eve- nings on the fire escape-watching the fire- works on the Fourth of July. All these and many more experiences brought us closer together and helped us to laugh instead of cry when we most needed it. Came the day as all days come, when we received our bibs. Were we proud ! Why, now no one could tell us from the students ahead of us. — (Were we kidd ing ! ! ) On the wards for the fi rst time — HI MANITY was to be saved at last! It ended up rat her a draw, but at least we were 54 willing. So what if it took us all morning to give a hath — we claimed that the first hour was spent in search of a scewer — but any- way, the patient was clean, and we were proud. August arrived and at last we were to go on vacation, but even more world shatter- ing, we felt that we were finally here to stay . Smiling, shining faces bid each other fond farewell for two weeks at the end of which we would return to once again pick up the lamp and continue on our way. As a means of celebrating, we planned a picnic. I he whole class trooped off with sneakers and dungarees to Winthrop Beach. Remember the fun we had? Entertainment consisted of local talent, which was top notch. We laughed at the imitations of the instructors (they laughed too )• w e ap- plauded the songs and dance routines of one of our classmates. All in all, a won- derful time, after which we all agreed that our class is just about the best ever. Back from vacation res ted. — white clothes replacing the gray, new tubes of toothpaste- all set to start anew. We were all shocked to learn that for the first time, our class would be separated. The larger number went to Medicine, an d the smaller group to Surgery. The high point in our Medicine Career was without any dou bt. the diet kitchen!! During this phase of our education, we not only learned the importance of carrying food on a tray, but also-thal one always takes the salt off the tray of a lo sodium diet- (Don t we, people?!) Following Medicine. We trekked to Sur- gery. All those tidies in the post-op patients must have been for a purpose, but certainly we cou Id nt tell What-not until after a few clinics on same anyway. Of course we all spent two delight fid weeks in C. S. R. clur- ing which time we tilled endless hollies with normal saline and put together oh so many basin sets to be used in the O.R. On the w hole, we all agreed that our three months Surgery were our happiest thus far in train- ing. After surgery, we went to OPD for ex- perience. I here we were like unto ye olde vultures. w e had. or at least thought we had learned how to take bloods. Didn t we feel important! Well except for the few times when we overshot von target anyway. T1 len to Dermatology — a period which brought forth many varied reactions. Some of us were very fond of this type of work w hile oth( rs didn ' t care for it as much as we did other wards. We were to find that dur- ing our training our opinions differed on many subjects. On to Pediatrics! We all looked forward lo it, and we all enjoyed every minute of it. From changing diapers on a cuddly little baby, to tube feeding a very sick child t hey were all so helpless. We were capti- vated bv their innocence. At this point, we would like to mention those unfortunate few who were felled by chicken-pox, appendicitis, and various other maladies w hicli seem lo beseige student nurses. A sort-of never-say die attitude prevailed throughout, however, and even though we had our share of illness, it was never too long until once again we were up and at em . We continued along the road — a road which we all traveled as one. If we had disappointments, they didn t belong lo just one alone — there was always a willing ear into which we could pour our troubles. So- lutions were decided upon by the group . Perhaps these are all reasons why we grew closer together through the years. 56 Specialties were the next step. Wander- ing into a maize of balkan frames— a per feci kaleidoscope of tubes and more bottles-and of course always the post-op hysterectomies. Now half of us were to go on vacation — we weren t particularly eager — we just had the minutes (lets face it. — the seconds) counted until the day of days. An then there were those who were to go to the . . . (tremble. . .) O.R. Our super- visors assured us that any mistakes that we could make, had been made before us w e wondered! Really tboug h, the day we left, we felt as though we were beginning to catch on. As a matter of fact, we were given some very nice compliments. One doc- tor even told a little student that he would be g lad — no. delighted — to recommend her as a pediatric nurse.) Together once again, we packed our trunks, boarded the M.T.A. and bid a sacl adieu to our own M.G.H. 1 o McLean— an experience which we wouldn t have missed for the world ! ! w e d been away only three months but (back from McLean) we felt like sailors who had been at sea as we kissed every brick in the corridor of the same name. Now half of us were to go on vacation while the other half went to the O R. f or that part of their training. Once again there were joyful greetings when those on vacation returned. We didn t miss each other — HA! Another experience which made us realize how close our class is and what a wonder- ful one we are. To our second and last affiliation — B.L.I. Certainly a phase which we were all more than interested in — looking forward to being mothers ourselves some day . We were busy there, but we were happy. Then back to our home-away-from home for our internships (getting paid!) and graduation, the culmination of all our dreams and hopes for the past three years! When someone asks us if we had it to do over again, would we? All agreed on and without one moment of hesitation, we would answer in unison — YES!!!
