R.N., M.A. Director of the School of Nursing and Nursing Service Miss Sleeper ' s Message Dear Seniors: I lie supreme moment of any action is the beginning . I o each one of you as you start forth into the profession of nursing, we, the Faculty of the School of Nursing, wish for you all the joys and satisfaction of a good beginning. Your educational experiences in nursing have been differently planned and arranged than were those of your predecessors in the School. And, so. too, will the society in which you work he different. The national and international trends give promise that you will enter a different world. I he threat of total war hangs over our Nation. In one part ol the world. Army. Navy, and Air Corps nurses are serving men wounded in combat. State and city authorities are calling for nurses to assist in a new plan for civilian defense. Hospitals, industries, and homes throughout the country need nurses, ' t our School of Nuring has increased its student enrollment hoping to have more of its own graduates to fill the many essential positions in the Hospital. No other graduating class was ever more wanted or needed than yours. Such a demand for an individual s services gives a sense of great personal and professional security. At the same time the opportunity to choose from an almost unlimited number of positions may develop a feeling of freedom which brings irresponsibility. I here may be a tendency to focus on personal interests and gain, a tendency to taste many varied and distant experiences, an inclination to overlook the work at hand, though it be of equal urgency. Supreme moments in life come only when the individual gives of herself, not to herself: when she shares in a great work; when self can be submerged in tbe fulfillment of others needs; and when in the commonplace activities of daily life the great purpose of life for all is not forgotten. Again our thanks for all you have done as students for the Massachusetts General Hospital and the School. Each one of you consciously or unconsciously has changed the School through your participation in its activities; through the acceptance of it as your own. May you now as you go forth into graduate nurs- ing service find that the School, too. has given you the equipment for a good beginning lor a happy life. SYLVIA PERKINS, R.N., M.A. Assistant Director ol the School of Nursing, Supervisor of Instruction in Nursing 8 Dedication our name, M iss Perkins, will always be uppermost in our minds whenever we remember our years spent in the School of Nursing. w e shall always remember you for your high standards and understanding nature. Il was you who first impressed upon us that we were to offer only our very best. ou gave us the very I o mi- ll at ion for our future years in nursing. w e, the class of 1051 1032, dedicate our yearbook to you as a small token of our appreciation for all that you have given us. 9 In ifUnmniam M rs. Richardson s warmth, humor and patience made the h ours we spent in Microbiology more than just a course in science. She will always he part ol our memories ol our Preclinical Period. 11 Katherine Hardeman, R.N., M.A. Supervisor of Clinical Instruction I Ielen Sherwin, R.N., M.A. Supervisor of Instruction in Science Jessie Stewart, R.N., B.S.

She studies and (ranis till her head s in a whirl This is a terrible life lor a teen aged girl. There s chemistry, anatomy, micro and nursing The probe struggles through both grinning and cursing The two hour lectures in l OPI ) — now what did she say, was it a louse or a flea? In micro we hear of both bugs and bacteria W hat did she say was a nurse s criteria? The nerves and the muscles, the bones and the brain How to lilt heavy patients without a back strain. W ho s clone their c hemistry and what s due in Pharm Those horrible monthlys keep probes in alarm. I here s bedsores and mic robes and problems t ype And patient number 7 who broke his leg in a tree. There s a don t and a do, a how and a why Keep your chin up dear probie- — there s no time to cry There are nurses and doctors and instructors with horns Probies poor loct are infested with corns. You chose it — you II take it and we know you II get th rough Keep plugging there probie — your day s coming too. Frans Egan THE PROBIE 1 The Florence Nightingale Pledge I solemnly pledge myself before God and in t lie presence of ibis assembly to pass my life in purity and to practice my profession faithfully. I will abstain from whatever is deleteri- ous and mischievous, and will not take or knowingly admin- ister any harmful drug. I will do all in my power lo maintain and elevate the standard of my profession, and will hold in confidence all personal matters committed to my keeping and all family affairs coming to my knowledge in the practice of my calling. With loyalty will I endeavor to aid the physician in bis work, and devote myself to the welfare of those committed lo my care. 18 ALICE KATHLEEN ADAMS “A.K.A.” 55 Forest Street, Malden, Mass.

An epic not of wars gone hy nor of people of past ages, But a vivid dissertation of the past of sixty-seven sages. Like those who have before us gone and now are part of history. We’d I lesitate to simply fade and leave our past three years a mystery. And so we do impart to you who wait with interest keen I he three years past of our training days as we the writers have seen. I lie time is back in August — tire summer of 48 - — As ninety frightened maidens handed together to meet their fate. Some were from New England — others from distant places- — But each had come with a single purpose and a smile upon their faces. I he day was filled with registrations and a tea entitled orientation And each new face and place we went seemed to add to our frustration. I hat night we struggled to our new found homes, at Charles Street or at Tl layer. And as lor thoughts of our future, we were much too tired to care. I he very next morn , at the hour ol six, the dormitories shook with alarm clocks ringing, And we arose our new career to start, on the arm ol a new found comrade cling- ing. The first few weeks were filled with confusion, each day brought something new. Our ranks dwindled in number — of our classmates we d lost quite a few. 48 The week was filled with books and learning, each day opened a brand new field; Bui the thought that kept us going, was what the weekends at home would yield. Despite the work and study, we managed to have our fun. And our off time pranks and antics kept the housemothers on the run. I he weeks and months sped quickly by, and our probie days did end. Thus with the strain and tension lessened, we took to another trend. We took part in the Walcott dances and the formal in December. And tl le Minstrel show in our first year is something we II all remember, rhe long awaited day arrived, were first year students no longer! I he hardest part we thought had ended — our hopes we found much stronger. Va cation overtook us— the part of training we liked the best. And our forces strong in number departed for a well earned rest. Playtime soon was over and we returned to practice what we ' d learned. A new class was behind us — yes. the tables now for us had turned. We took our stations on the wards and became part of the team. Now, after many months of work — we had finally reached our dream. The months flew quickly by and winter faded into Spring. w e worked and played and lived to see what each new day would bring. I he summer brought a formal dance which our class did present. The second year now loomed before us, but our first year was well spent. Oh we re no longer first year students only two more years remain. Two whole classes are beneath us, so went our second year refrain. Feeling quite important and with chins held oh so high Our black clad feet were on the ground, hut our heads were in the sky. Surely there have been none to compare with us in our work or in recreation. But a twist of fate soon changed our minds — our first affiliation. Our class which to this time had been just one group undivided. Were split up for affiliations so the monarchs of I . S. O. decided. Each in turn on our way, we went for learning in a brand new field. And the knowledge gained at B.L.I. oidy history, not I. will reveal. So we struggled on for survival, days of self-inflicted glory past. Good-bye to delusions of grandeur, true realization had found us at last. Some of us went to Pediatrics to care for the children by the score. And I hardly think that there s one of us who will ever forget Burnham 4. Next came our last move as we packed and left for McLean. I Itree short months and we II return, forever more to remain. 49 All! that was the life, free of hurry and strife, yes this was life at its best. Psychology, psychiatry whirled round our heads as we settled ourselves for a rest. I he old year slowly went its way, and the new rode in like thunder. I he spirit among our class was such that people viewed us with wonder. And then it came, the reason was clear, and history was being made. hor on each head, in place ol the Hat lop , the MGH cap was now arrayed. Oh ours was a glorious road indeed, from Hat top to interne nurse. But the road to the bank was the one we preferred with the new gotten checks in each purse. Yes! we were the chosen few — and life look on a colorlul tone. Only eight hours to work, with no classes at all, and time was to each her own. But when asked ol the troubled interne on her fifth straight ni ght of relief. Our classes, she said, are now termed conferences, indeed, and my Iree lime is all too brief. lint time rolled past and with it the sea of discontent. And talk turned to the senior prom and how our last vacations were spent. April formal, plans in May, then June with graduation. I hat our student days were numbered, was to many a difficult realization. Who can account for the short lime remaining now, that the end had finally come. For interne no more, now as a graduate nurse — a new life for us had begun. Now as those who have gone on before us, and are history ol past ages, We say good-bye to student days, we. sixty-seven sages. 50 e new was Through Before ie conga |i ne hose wonderful Bulfinch steps Irishmen meet fmm0r Class History — March Section During a blizzard, in five feet ol snow. In the month ol March, a few years ago, Forty-two girls made their way in haste I o become nurses at the M.G.H. On our arrival we were astounded. For by many huge buildings we were surrounded. We all went to tea. our hearts full of fears, 1 o meet our companions lor the next three years. I .aler in I he day. in t be blizzard once more. We plowed to 92 Charles and knocked on the door. I his was the place where we were to slay And trudge back and forth from for many a day. 1 he whole first week was a marathan race, I hey kept us going at an awful pace. Alt ending classes, new teachers to meet. Lugging books by the dozen back to Charles St. To our dismay, and although not desired. We found a physical was required. In pyjamas we slinked into O.P.D. bor everyone in the city to see. We were stuck with needles, hammered and choked. Pinched, squeezed, punched and poked. We dashed to the Eye Clinic, and into position And rubbed noses with many an nosy optician. Anatomy, C hemistry. Microbiology. Nursing, Nutrition and Pharmacology — I hese were the courses we were to take, Striving our best good grades to make. ( hem lab was fun, or so we thought. Until Inge s smock on lire got caught. And tl len the face ol Pam Martell ( � ot splashed and burned with HC L. In Micro lab we met our loe Staph and Strep we came to know. In A and P lab with grief we were smitten As we hacked away at that innocent kitten. In UOPD we spent many a day. Watching procedures done the right way. And poor Joyce C many a walk did take As Mi ss Perkins tried to keep her awake. 53 WVI! never forget tliat trying day When Mi ss Perkins looked Joan Hull s way And said. Pray tell, what time is it now? Bui lo tell the time, I lutt knew not how! Drt � ssings. heds and hcllcord ( lips. Enemas, needles and repractice slips, I hose last little tokens would lill us with gloom. With tl lem Mahoney could paper her room! I lie end of July brought our linals near. And al so tilled our hearts with fear. 0 ne by one we struggled through. Until the nursing arts was due. 1 hat dreaded day al last arrived. And into TCP we dived. Butter J1 ies danced in our stomachs that day. As through each procedure we wended our way. f f. I Joward was drained ol her last hit of pep. W hile doing a dressing with one lorcep. And Elean or Jones did a flaxseed once more. As Mac into Rosie, fluids did pour. Our “Prol )ie 1 Daze I lad come to an end. We left C lurries St. and many a friend. Poachie, and Percy and Prohie the cal As I haver laid out its welcome mat. Back from vacation we came at last. With two weeks ol fun and sleep in the past. And off to the wards we marched with glee. Some lo medicine, and some to Surgery. On the Baker floors we started out right. Wl lerever we I urnec I M rs. f f. was in sight. On White 7 was the less fortunate crew. As hack and forth on the wards they flew. I hose in Medicine went lo the Bulfinch floors, I o give hot packs, back rubs and pills by tne scores. Some innocent victims to the ID.K. were sent I o learn of food and ol nourishment. We became wise in the ways of the General then. — I lie break lor coffee at ten a.m. I he bi-daily dash lo the postoffice door. Once al 10. and again at 4. In CSR we powered and packed. Filled, re-sterilized, cleaned and stacked; We washed the tubing — miles on end! Cleaned needles, and hundreds of gloves did mend. 54 Then came the time when much to our dread Night duty raised its infamous head. On at eleven, starched an d fresh— Off at seven — looking a mess! While some were in the Medicine class, The rest tried their best Surgery to pass. Taking Sociology till their brains did bend. Making frequent trips to the old West End. When this division of the class was made. We said farewell, for this way we stayed. While most remained and said good-bye, A group of eleven went to B.F.I. Here they learned one way or another To care for each baby and his mother. Feeding the babies when tired and worn. Watching tl le sky for the first sight of dawn. II they wanted to go to bed at night. They had to start while it still was bright. For most everyone had a lovely bun k bed And the poor one on top slept 6 miles overhead. When the three months were over, a lot had been learned. But still for the good old General they yearned. Bursting with knowledge after their stay, Home to Walcott they found their way. They were welcomed hark bv their classmates who then Were working in Pedie from seven to seven. It was good to be back but they did not remain; A month later vacation, and then McFean. McFean will always have a spot in our hearts, When the word is mentioned, reminiscing starts. I he work, the play, at every day stop I o get all the news at the Coffee Shop. While we were enjoying the autumn there, I he twenty-six others were tearing their hair. For surgical specialties they were struggling through. Ortho. Neuro, Gyn and ( l-l . For many the O.R. was the next step. Need I es, scissors, a clamp, a forcep. Masks and gowns and sterile technique, We tried to learn week after Week. At this time we have nearly two years completed. And none ol us yet have been defeated. The work is hard, the hours long. But we keep going on and on. 55 In tin year ahead I here is much to he done, w e II finish the courses we haven t begun. And when we have just eight months to go. We’ll I lave our high caps at last to show. And at that time each month we II holl er. For every day we II get a dollar. And it will seem good, after all this time. To have more in our pocket than one thin dime. I hen at last that awaited date. I hat day when we will graduate. We II get into our uniforms white. And continue in nursing to do what is right. We II proudly wear each pin and cap. And go to places all over the map. But wherever we go and whatever we do, w e II think of our class of March 52. 56 58 Class Prophecy June I. 1960. Dear Diary: Guess wlial ? M.G.H. lias linally made the radio world.

Since their conception, in the twisted minds of these six, Atlles have become lively, and at times even help- ful creatures. This prophecy is a stirring example of their usefulness. While enjoying the gracious view ol the parking lot below my window, I was doing my best to predict the future, when Her- bert appeared on the radiator. Herbert (pronounce with a British accent) is the Great Grand M ars hal of all Attles. He spends his time flitting about the years and centuries supervising the lesser Attles of the past, present and lulure. in their chosen job of butting into other peoples business. Smearing a cracker with peanut butter, Herbert asked, “May I inquire as to the cause of your perplexed countenance? I explained what I was doing and. after glancing at my poor attempts, Herbert sneered. As is customary in your case, you are making a fool of yourself. Well, he sighed, never let it he said that I let a friend down. I ve just returned from 1977, and since I anticipated your difficulty, I took the trouble to investigate your class- mates. Here is the inside dope. He smeared another cracker, chewed it thor- oughly. swallowed it, ingested it. and then began his fascinating report.
