Words l) Mai’fjarol Dit ' U ' r, 1916 Her ivied coluniiis rise to meet Idle glory of the Pmllineli dome. Serene, unrnnied, heautifiil. She waits to hid us welcome home. F ' rom many lands, o ' er many days. W e brought to her our restless youth, And she with patience took ns all And set us in the way of truth. Stern Teacher, kindly too, withal. Who saw the faults we could not hide. And liuilding on our better selves, She wrouglit results tliat sliall abide. What if she gave us arduous toil. She taught us reverence for our work ; To ease the suffering, lighten pain ddiere is no task we dare to sliirk. W hen life and death are side by side, And creeds and races strangely blend To share these things from day to day Slie helfied us each to find a friend. Oh, Gracious (iuardian of our past, Thy children rise to honor tliee, God bless and keep you, M.G.H., Secure tlirough all the years to be. THE OLD AND THE NEW I he drawing on the h ' ft is that of Ihilfim ' h hi ‘h vas in the year 1821. It Mas here that the first nurses of Massaehnset ts (General Hospital lived among the ineonvenienees and old-fashioned architeetnre. A feM other residenees have been built hetueen then ami iiom, the iieMest being Bartlett Hall Mhieh is pictured heloM . (Ground Mas broken f( r this resi lenee in 1952, and in May, 1953, eighty-eight senior student nurses ami sixty-six gra lnate nnrses moved into the hixiirions living quarters Mith its modern eonvenienees. Where the nurses hack in 1821 ha� l to sernh their om n uniforms ami clothes, and live all together in one room, the nurses of today have automatie laundries and in- dividual three room suites Mith all the mo«lern facilities for gracious living. Tridy Massachusetts General has provided a marvelous home for its nurses, and Me, the class of 1953 and 1954 are proud to have the privilege to he the first to reside in Bartlett Hall.

Direclor of Ihe School of ursirm and Xursinf Serrire. l)t‘ur S«‘ni � rs: Uy the lime this letter reaehes you, muny menihers of the (llas.s will have made some plan for the eomin year. To make plans for future living ami work is. of eourse, one of the joys ami privileges of graduation. To have a plan to live hy is also one of the essentials of a happy life. Graduation which marks the transition from student days in nursing to those of nurse practitioner might well he likene l to a «loor which se|)arales a brief experience planned by others (your curriculum) and the great ex|)erienee which stretches ahea«l to he planned hy you, yourself (your life). The curriculum now behind you was built around an aim carefully chosen, and adopted as a guide for the selection of your student ex|)erience. It should have given meaning to the many activities scheduled for you day by day, or month hy month. It should have given you the direction which would enable you to lie all of these activities together into one large meaningful experience which was nursing edu- cation. (� ur first experience in nursing education is now hehiml y � u. hat now ? Vi ill you begin your graduate nurse years aimlessly waiting for one brief and exciting experience after another? Vi ill you have a long range plan for your personal and professional life or will you follow only personal whim, or seek constantly to find something new ? W hen you look hack five or ten years from now will you have only a series of brief experiences, an l wonder w hy you lack satisfac- tion, why you miss the slimidus of student days? Experiences lo not necessarily build experience in a profession or in a life. They are like the frosting of the cake, and so they have a role to play. For the frosting is a surprise to he enjoyed, a flavor to relish, a pretty thing to look at. often a treat to he anticipate ! w hen the last hit of cake has been eaten. Fo have experience is to have the substance of life; it is truly to live. But for such living there must he aim and plan. And both aim and plan must reach beyond self anti the immetliate satisfaction of personal lesire or whim. Every class on graduation leaves behind some special memory, some little tradition for oncoming stiulents, some special |)lace in the hearts of the faculty. Vie shall miss the Glass of 1953- ' .51. Vie shall welcome you all whenever there is time for a visit or a letter. From all of us to each one of you, good w ishes, good luck; Vi halever you «lo may you have a womlerfid experience!

CLASS HISTORY -SEPTEMBER I )( ar classmaU ' s: The other day we chanced ii})oii Per Se scramhliiifj; over the cornerslones we liad left in her path during the past three years. To onr surprise she had changed from the first day we met and her once plump, eager expression had been substituted by a more worn and mature look. She heaved a heavy sigh as she fli[)ped through the annals of our achievement. Page one; August 29, 19. 0: Remember, it seemed as if Sol was rebelling against that motly crew that arrived at M(iH to take up the A ' ightingale Lamp. However, liot as the sun was, it did not serve to bleach the |)olished green faces that shone at the Reception Tea where a strange group of instructors bid us welcome. The green, however, changed to a beaming red the next day when we were led in |)ajamas and bathrobes through endless corridors of OPI) for our complete physical. As we came to some pictures of our Probie Dormitories, our memories slipped back to the church clock on Charles Street that chimed away each half hour during Study Hour. Finally, exactly at nine, before the last chime had died away, the occupants of 90 and 92 ( Tarles Stree t descended upon Sharaf ' s, with pajamas roiled up under their coats. ' Phose were the days of inter-dorm communications via fire-escape and where we learned that to give a little, gripe a little, and cry a little made happier student nurses. Per Se paused, and from the page leaped the words “Firemen ' s Ohmteer Auxiliary. We recalled the night the third floor alley of Thayer was ablaze and drowned in a foot of water. Pajama clad nurses hung out the windows to watch activities while “I ii- sung Heroines helped mop half the Charles River back to its source. Roll ( ' all still existed in those days. On the first day everyone was there on lime, but we soon learned to sleep later, rush to roll call in time for our place in the alphabet, and resume sleep until breakfast. Can you recall the confusion when the instructor started from the end of the alphabet? ' t es, we learned; that is in some things. Did you ever see more hlundering indi- viduals than we, striving to master simple procedures in T( .R, or when we took those “cpiizzes (consisting of answers A to Z and reasons A to Z) in COPD? C.onlrary to popular opinion we (lid study for those exams! As Probie Period wore on so did the students, and the day came when Per Se smiled knowingly at us as we man ' hed into the cafeteria with our new bibs. New bibs meant more lime on the wards and it seemed that M(iH imported } atients with tubes and decubiti just for our ex{)erience. Finally the terrifying week of finals arrived and T( ' .R was transformed into a busy bee-hive. JVr Se beckoned us into the forbiding room and decreed our sentence. Flaxseed poultices boiled away on the burners, steaming hot j)acks became cold as we brought them fro m the laundry to the patient, enemas were [)re[)ared with unerring accur- acy, and medicines were ever so carefully poured. The thought of vacation for one whole week helped to calm our shattered nerves and we dej)arled with too much packed in loo little, uttering a final threat, “I shall return. Per S( ' agrees! that a wi ' ek was not sufficient but she had managed to ireuperale and maintain a pace with the new S I ' s who dashed to their wards at (piarter of seven each morning. Fverything was tiTs gai until we nsdized that we now were old enough to work “relief , and it (lid take an ( ' dge off our morales w lieu we straggled off“relief at one o ' clock. With work must come |)lay, so we, the new first year students, sponsonsl the spring formal, aptly termed “ H(‘avenl Fvening . The Mosidy Rotonda was transformed into an ethereal body as angels and notes llutterr ' d on the walls and pastel-gowned student nurses floated on imaginary clouds. Following the Spring ol ' 51, sinnnier lured ns into outside activities and Per Se scowled as she remembered the lobsters that crawled on duty at five after a day of “basking in the sun. Hot packs did not soothe the blisters nor cond’ort the arthritic in the lieal of Bulfincli. As the temperatures soared upwaid, the girls in surgery mopped dry their sweat- stained brows as they strove to prevent 1. V. ' s from running dry and keej) up with the fifteen ttiinute f)lood pressures, while the girls in specialties majored in plumliing and cared for patients plastered in Idris. Ttie girls in the Diet Kitchen managed to confuse their cohorts on the floors by sending out salt shakers on the 500 mg. Sodium diets and sugar shakers on dial)etic trays. That fall we became S 2 ' s with all the pomp and circumstance we could muster. VVe admitted that Idr Se must have had a strong constitution to have kept pace with us. But more was to come and suddenly we felt as if we belonged to this medical [)rofession, and didn’t we show it? Boston-Lying-In bore the brunt of our first affiliation and along with it came the traumatic experience of transferring our belongings to another school. We were amazed to find that only one carton held the miscellaneous clothes and uniforms, and the other boxes contained our valuables such as pictures, hooks and trophies. These three months proved hectic to the tobacco fiends who no longer could enjoy a cigarette with their meals. A well-worn path from the dining-njom to the Bee room was established by all those able-bodied nurses who rushed down for a cigarette before they collapsed from a nicotine fit. The well established fact that food is of importance to every student nurse held true on BH .5 where, in the middle of the night, delicious fried egg sandwiches were pre- pared but hastily disposed of when the white l)allerina-clad feet of one supervisor hove into sight. During these reminiscences. Per Se recalled that she had difhculty in keeping up with the parties in the rooms and on the roof, the sign language system established between the Mass. School of Pharmacy and the Nurses ' Home, and the fire escape escapades. But she hastily ex[)lained that she recovered during our interlude at M(iH. Wanderlust reared its head again and we answered the Call of the Wild, this time |)acking our boxes for McLean. As we approached the Hill, it seemed that the stately mansions fairly shook, but Per Se hastily advised us not to become paranoid. Our experi- ence in psychiatry evolved around such duties as mopping floors and flourishing dust rag s. Each morning, as soon as the patients appeared presentable, we hastily patched our aprons with adhesive and adjusted our crumpled caps, and leaving the rooms to air, we trotted off to the Coffee Shoppe, where the only difference between patients and nurses was that the patients had meal tickets while we paid cash, usually penny by penny. Tales of woe about people who actually worked on Fast House reached our ears but we disregarded the.se rumors com[)letely. McI ean, we are sorry to say, still runs on the old theory that fish is brain food. C.onse(]uently, we had fish served fretpiently, sometimes as such but often (piite cleverly disgui.sed. This was alternated with onion and celery stews. Of course the delicious ap[)les from the orchard helped to fill the gap while the Skippy Peanut Butter jar on the ward was a familiar food supplement. We left McLean with the nostalgic odor of P ine Oil and ammonia lingering in our nostrils. We arrived at the General to mix scents with the Sulpha Napthal in the utility rooms and J’henol 20% in the OB. A slight circum oral pallor was noted on Per Se’s countenance with the mention of OB, our scrub gown era. She remembered, as did the rest of us, the contractures we suffered after hours of holding retractors; the times we contaminated ourselves by stifling yawns with gloved hands; the missing incidentals (knife handles and needles) when we set up kits; the student who set up a D and C without currettes; and the one who sterilized a toboggan when the surgeon asked for a large Dever. Those were the days of anorexia nervosa and skin-free hands. We left the instruments to our suceessors and went on to Burnliam to contend with supermen and wonder women, who seemed to mirror the activities of our own cliild- hood, with slifjht atomic variations. Per Se grintied broadly as she reminded us of the dar- linfi hal)ies we cuddled only to find ourselves in need of Pediculi treatments. We survived three montiis of stained and torn uniforms and bruised le s from the austin s[)eed demons and refiretfully left pediatrics with a collection of belts and wallets. During these two years our cla.ss had drifted apart, but during the month of October and November of ' .52 we merged to produce the best show ever (or so we thought ). On November IHth and 19th, New Kngland Mutual Hall echoed with ‘‘On ( ' all , the hilari- ious ariety Show which supplied us with enough excitement to last us until January 2nd, 19.53, that memorable day of capping. Never before had we possessed such dignity and for the iirst time since Probie Period we had all the buttons in our uniforms and our sho es were polished. After the ceremony the “Women of Tomorrow ? fairly Hew out of the Hotunda to cau.se a minor mob scene. This interneship marked a new change in our class. Postures improved and on pay day we internes actually wore .smiles. We didn ' t always appreciate our rotations, multiple relief and night duties, and solo flights on the wards while the younger students attended classes, but the over all values of our interneship greatly outweighed these inconviences. In those last eight months we became more cognizant of our ambitions and the roads which we might take in order to achieve them. As we laid aside our reminiscences and looked about for our class spirit, we saw her far ahead of us, beckoning us eagerly onward into the future, per .se. CLASS HISTORY -FEBRUARY Walcott living room seemed full of us as we sat rather uncomfortably on the edge of our seats. The pictures on the walls seemed to be scrutinizing this latest addition to the fold. Off in the corner, a group of uniformed students .seemed to be ending a month’s fast, or so it seemed in the way they were stulling themselves. We looked on amazed as cookies and cake disappeared with reckless abandon, little realizing that we would soon be enjoying these feasts of teas to come. At last we were dismissed to our dortnitories where those going to Charles Street hailed their huge clo.sets and those at Thayer wailed at their wee ones. We exchanged names and admitted we were excited, scared, and amazingly enough hungry. We went to the dining room where those fortunates just finishing their first six months let us in on the gruesome facts of probiehood. Did we know that pharm was uncompierable, chemistry was fascinating, or that we probably had to give a man a bath? The next day, we at C.harles Street found out that the girls at Thayer had the ad- vantage of a few minutes extra sleep before roll call at six-forty-five A. . 1. The same day, we were introduced to the classical physicals which entailed parading through O.P.D. in our house coats AN D blushing faces. The traditional cootie party given by the faculty, brought many laughs and a friemllier feeling between instructors and students. And will any of us forget those hot summer afternoons in l .O.P.D. watching Mi.ss Perkins sip her cold glass of water during lecture? But, we soon forgot our long cla.sses toward the end of our six months by going on a bouncing ride in l.(i.H. trucks to cool Ijynn beach where we took the faculty for an old New Kngland Weenie Boast with all the trimmings inrludiufi plenty )f sand. Thus we were initiated, and yet as we look back, those six months were wonderful. We love to reminsce about them and secretly admit we would probably NhAKB do it afjaiii. We still afjree that phann is (piite iincoiKiiierahle; eheinislry was rascinatiiifi, partic- ularly for us since we had the added I ' uti of woiideriiifi which would come first orj aiiic chemistry or Mrs. Fernandez’ twins; and then Kivinfj; a man a hath soon f;ecame old stulf. Wlien we returned from vacation we were secure in the knowledge that at least now there were some students f)ehind us. We were e.xiremely proud workiiif? on the wards ihoufjh we ' re sure some of our patients thou ht they were suffering? from cardiac arrest as we conscientiously took their pulses for a full minute. Then there was the day the doctor made the mistake of askin one of us for some jelly to luf)iicate a Levine tufie. T ' was then we learned that the gra()e kind from the kitchen was not what he wanted. We felt we were (piite adept at hel|)ing doctors, hut .soon learned that the advantafie of assistinf; at a proc- toscopy was that the room was dark so he never got to know who was passing the wrong things. With growing confidence we passed on fo medicine where we found out that Bul- finch was synonymous with f)cdpan. Surgery was fascinating and after concpiering White 7 we felt we could coiupier anything. By now we had lost some of our classmates to the other sections and eyed them jealously as they proudly went on affiliation. We were com- forted however, by the fact that O.B.l). was just ahead with four glorious week-ends off. rhen we went on to pediatrics where we learned just what Miss Dollof had meant when she said that our digestive system was merely a short trad with two openings. On to urology and our old friends — nausea and vomiting. Orthopedics taught us that roller skating is not neces-sarily done in a ring, and gyn made us realize that according to Or. Bichard.son’s orders a per.son CAN exist without ever sitting down. For two years we had lots of fun at picnics and parlies, ami Walcott dances (who can de.scrihe them and do them justice?). Our first year we were proud parents of the C.hristmas formal and what a baby it turned out to be. Some of us decided to import our men from foreign countries and our only regret was that we had no Fllis Island to .send them back to. But our moment of triumph was yet to come — the senior show. Amazingly enough “On (’.all’’ was a hit and we smugly assumed our “we knew it all the time” look. While some of us went on a much needed vacation, others trudged bravely off to that hallowed ground White If. Occasionally we had left patients there and .scurried off, but to work there — unbelievable! Fvery night brought heated discus.sions on how unreasonable .some doctors could be and other forms of rationalization to free ourselves from any blame. The fact of the matter is we now know why there are more grey haired surgeons than medical men. At last off to McLean. T ' was there we eyed each other carefully and analyzed each and every move. T ' was also there that we learned that man does not live by bread alone — he lives by bread and peanut butter — and that pretty green leafy plants are not to be picked or Sat In, becau.se they leave their mark. At B.L.I. we discovered the thrill of having a baby, by proxy of course, and always between the hours of three and four in the morning, (iilbreth of “Cheaper By The Dozen’’ fame wouldn’t have been so enthusiastic after a night duty in Bichanlson House Nursery. d’hen back to the (ieneral to await that wonderful day — graduation! It didn’t matter that the next day we went back into checks, our moment had come. We stayed up nights vowing to learn the school song and admired each others’ white uniforms — and those caps — they seemed a foot tall. We were sad and happy at the same time. True we had finally reached our goal, and yef it meant that many wonderful limes would soon lie just memories. It will always be a mystery to us all how those years could hold so many joys and sorrows, frights and delights, and yet pass so cpiickly. Bat Macauley Norma June Blank Barbara Ogilvie xc ' f’. v ' ' .o ' ' X o- ' ’ v.« C ' CLASS PROPHECY- SEPTEMBER It was Sepleniber, 197.‘5 and lim for another class reunion, necessitalinj ' the chore of localin r onr Ihod graduates. Tins task seemed to become more didlcnll each year, as our classmates becaTue more well distributed over the face of the earth, engaged in a variety of fascinating activities which even we coidd not have foreseen iti lh.o.{. We pro- gressed to our tattered tile-box, in which was kept the names and last locations of the eighty-odd members of the Id.od graduating class. (piick glance at the di.sarray of the cards iidbrined us that someone had been meddling with our carefully kept records. To our dismay, we found ourselves gaping at a small figure scrand)ling with unbelievable vigor through our tiles. This pint-sized individual reminded us somewhat ot our own class spirit, but we shook oil the vague reminiscences of younger and more wild days and set our faces in more businesslike expre.ssions. “Slowed down a lot, haven ' t you, girls; Why, I remember the times when it took more than the speed of even this demon to keep track of you! Our angry protests at such impertinence were greeted by a lopsided grin and familiar toss of the head, which instantly called to mind the identity of this unpredictable little creature. “Where have you been. Per Se? we screamed, tossing aside our profes.sional dignity for a moment to bond ard our class spirit with innumerable (piestions concerning the whereabouts of our former classmates. “Kasy, girls, was the (piick reply. “I ' m a bit too tired to answer your (pies- tions now! But as our faces fell, she added humanely, “Well, I suppose I can manage one more short tour to see our old friends; but after tliis fling, I think I ' ll retire on Old ( ' .lass Spirits ' ( ' .ompensation! We started out in the same MOH truck which had faithfully carted our luggage (or should we be honest enough to admit that it was made up of old cardboard boxes; ) on our afliliations. We liad hardly imagined that our classmates could be engrossed in such amazing occupations; but then, read this and judge for yourselves! After we had traveled for some distance, lionny (iough ' s restaurant loomed up before us, and we decided that the gnawing jiains in our gastric regions were not caused by ulcers but by good old-fashioned hunger. I pon entering, we discovered that this was a diabetic restaurant; but we were permitted to {lartake of a saccharin sandwich, compli- mented by Bo .Johnson ' s, who was the master clief, latest culinary effort, the insulin cup- cake. We went into the kitchen for a chat with Bo, whom we found sitting on a stool in the corner, her nose in a liook. it was tlie latest in the Sue (ionbar, (iirl iirse series, liy Sally Davis, entitled, “It hafipened One Night In the I tility Boom. We soon took to tlie open road, and only a mile up the road discovenHl a rather imposing edifice bearing the inscri|)tion, “Besearch Building. A (piick glance at the direc- tory told us that it was entirely staffed by l(ill alumnae, and we decided to investigate further. As we entered, Mary I ehto dashed out of the building with a small leather l)ag tucked under her arm. She shouted a greeting and explained breathlessly that she could not stop as she was on her way to vaccinate some dogwood trees against rabies. Betty Laffey ran out on Mary ' s heels to tell us that she was in charge of a group of surgeons who re- (piired her to give them l s of glucose when they missed their meals during long operations. In her private lab, we found M. O. Mcknight, who was employed by the Sl DA (Society for the I revention of Disease in Animals), a Florida organization. She had just discovered the virus which gives alligators their bumps. W e were intrigued by a fragrant odor e.scaping from Sib Sweeney ' s lab, and we entered to find her administering her one millionth D of steak and onions to an undernourished patient, h ' ran Shirley had also in- vented s(vmething patriotic, a three-bottle chest suction apparatus containing red, while, and blue water. Her alile assistant, .lean Brownell, was busy blowing bubbles in the white water to increase her vital ca|)acity. Next door to this lab, we found Jan (lillelte, diligently working on a thesis on the effects of laundry bags on nur.sing personnel. Jan directed us upstairs to the room where Bulh Muldowney displayed her Fashion Academy Award winning design, a white nurse ' s uniform with a built-in pressure cooker for cooking meals on duty to avoid the wear and tear of walking downstairs to a cafeteria. s a .small kanjiaroo bounded down llie ball, Unlb lold ns how (’arol I’oller was cross breeding kangaroo and fox eggs in order to produce fnr coats with pockets in lliem. We ti[)loed by Peg Willsey, who was liard at work, ex|)erimenling on human beings to dis- cover the c ause of disease in rats. Dot allenins was also deep in re.search, being employed by the government to find the etiology of communicable di.sea,ses in grapefruit, a subject involving .some fascinating pid)lic health aspects. The last person we saw was Mary Horne, who came down the hall with some enormous packages. She explained that they contained wire-recordings of some of her favorite books, made especially for the education of those who could not read. She was mailing them to Mike Miles in Bolivia, who wanted “something dilferent for Christmas presents for all her friends there . Bursting with admiration for our cla.ssmates, we left the building to continue our travels. Just as night fell, we arrived at the rose-c ' overed cottage of (daudelte Smith, now a happily married woman rearing bouncing baby boys made of synthetic rubber. Fortunately, she invited us to remain for the night. She let us read a letter which she had just received from Alice Dana from Japan, where she and her husband could employ a maid and cook for five dollars per month. Alice wrote that her husband was complaining of chronic indigestion however. As Nan Clark lived next door to (Jaudette, we stopped in to see her, and she proudly displayed pictures of her (piadruplets. She suggested that we drop into the local theater where Cal Dw yer was playing the lead in “ A Streetcar Named Carole.” We decided to do so, and as we entered the theater, we met Lou an Ham, a .sable coat (lung carele.ssly over her shoulders and diamonds on every finger, just out for a stroll with her French poodle. She told us that her husband, now an Admiral, had brought the god back from Paris for her. We stopped at a newsstand for some reading material and discovered some iideresting articles in our magazines. We chuckled through the Pulitzer Prize story by Marie Ohrn, entitled “1 Was a Student Nurse For Fight Years” or “Why Mother Left Home. The same magazine contained a picture of Jean Manfredonia, an OB nur.se, ac- cepting an award as “The Girl We Would Most Like To Contaminate Our Sterile Field from the American Butcher Association. In a theatrical magazine, we dkscovered that Maurine Fox and her three child- ren were playing to full houses in a revival of the play, “The Little Foxes. There was also a biographical tale of Florence Fletcher, whose latest accomplishment was a play entitled “Paint A Our Ambulance. Someone ran up to the stand-keeper and breathlessly asked for the magazine New Jersey A Jews Nursing , edited by Ann Ifoberts, but it was all sold out. The disap- pointed customer turned out to be Jackie Thornton, now a supervisor of supervisors. Her latest contribution to society was to annex the supervisors ' dining room to the penthouse by skyhooks. Having cotJipleted our browsing, we fairly flew to our truck, which sported three tickets for triple parking. Driving slowly, we glimpsed Nan Buchanan on her way to the hospital with sandwiches for her hu.sband, who, as director, could find no time for regular meals. As soon as Nan faded into the distance, Doris Hill appeared, wearing a dress made of Codeine labels and Asperin (0.6 Cm.) earrings. We left her explaining to the FJH man who followed her how she had obtained the C.odeine. Picturesque farms appeared on each side of the road, and we realized that we had reached the country. Per Se directed us to Lucy Barker ' s ranch, where she was raising sterile cows to eliminate the cost of pasteurization. Mary Bistuccia emerged from next door to urge us to try one of her special home-raised cottage chee.se salads, for which she had received a commendation from the Cottage Chee.se Lovers Association. We akso found B. J. Hintz in the country; she was looking just everywhere for a left-handed needle holder which a surgeon had recpiested of her in 19.53. We traveled on, hoping to make up for lost time, but were halted once more by our curiosity. We had entered the industrial section of another city, and here found Ann Cleary, working at the Sleeping Beauty b ' actory testing foam rubber mattresses to make sure that they were orthopedically correct. Em Thibodeau was employed by the .same con- cern, making foam rubber shoes with attached roller skates for lazy nur.ses with aching feet. In the paper factory across the street. Dot Bandall was working her way through college by punching holes in three ring notebook paper. We had always wondered who performed this vital task. ' I’he ell-dressed Nurses (’ompany employed l ulhie Warluirloii as fashion desifiner. Her latest creation was a new Mdll student uniform with jireen and white checks on a fuschia hackfjround, color desifined to rest the eyes. Betty Leifjh, her associate, had added a beanie with fireen and white checked propellor to complete the outfit. Phey told us that M. J. McKnight, who now had her own T program, had promised to feature the new uniform in her interview with the Wotnan of the Year, a student nurse, as in 19.).?. As we wandered toward the educational section of town, we met Maggie Platts, w ho had just agreed to appear as “Miss English Oval” on the packages of cigarettes bearing the same name. Maggie was flourishing a newspaper which had Barb Kisiel ' s name in headlines. According to the article, Barb was a much sought-after OB nurse who always scrubbed on three operations at the same lime, a feat recpiiring split-second timing. In the center of town, we found the Nelson Home for Little Wanderers. Bev personally conducted us on a lour of her revolutionary institution, staffed entirely by student nurses. We were most fascinated by the Sneak A Smoke Boom , which was restricted to nurses on duty so that they could feel as if they were getting away with some- thing. Bev told us that Meg Bobertson was now a h’ederal Secret Service Agent, zealously guarding penicillin on Air Force flights to North Carolina. She also mentioned Lou Conte’s new six month training program, which carried with it a I M6 I degree. (I made it in six months!) Her studious nature having finally overcome her, I ou was instructor in chief at a neighboring hospital. We were surprised to find Judy Slabaugh a patient in Lou ' s hospital. She was recuperating from a winter ski-weekend somewhere in New Hamp.shire. Hermie hdiege was serving as Supervisor of the I tility Boom here. Her chief concern seemecf to be to make sure that the medical and nursing staffs cooperated in giving the autoclave its weekly physical. She had just saved the day by sticking her finger in a leaky faucet to prevent a hemorrhage until the plumber arrived to restore it to health with a neatly a[)} lied metal tournicpiet. We left her checking the blood pressure of the faucet every five minutes. At this moment Peg Sawyer marched in. her face punctuated by an ear to ear grin, l eg was practicing for her T commercial where she smiled toothily for chlort phyl toothpaste. Mary Kay Bemsburg also dropped in. Having just been appointed director of nursing at M(iH, she was enroute to Boston to plan a testimonial to Miss Sleeper, the retiring director. Laura Lima, now a pediatric nurse, was accompanying Mary K, in order to collect the Boston royalties on her new song, Come To Me, Sly Melancholic Baby. ' Phe animal Besciie League building loomed ahead, and we investigated its corridors to find Jane Hovey, a social worker for the League. At the f)resent time, she was attempting to place an unwanted cocker spaniel who had lost her tail in a cat fight. Buth Pdtzgerald was obstetrician-in-chief of the hospital, her specialty being research in the gestation period of large mammals, especially whales and elephants. Seated directly behind Jane in her oflice, was Carole Donnelly, who was knit- ting as if her life depended upon it. C.arole lifted a wan face to tell us that she had to .sell the baby set she started in Ido.J because the baby had grown to a size sixteen. We let C.arole go back to her work and stole away silently. We pau.sed in respectful silence as a funeral proces.sion passed, with Polly Boari, oidy female mortician in the I nited Stales, in the lead. We spoke to her for but a moment: she looked at us speculatingly and informed us that busine.ss was hooming. Still seeking the educational wizards among our friends, we learned that Nancv M acMillan was Secretary of the SPCN (Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Nurses), presently investigating the case of a nurse who claimed she had been forced to work an eight day week. Peggy I affey, a member of the nurses ' union, was picketing SPCN head- (piarters, demanding larger medicine closets for nearsighted nurses. Peg pointed out another new nursing school in the neighborhood. Its most popular course, How to pass State Board Exams without Study was being taught by our own Betty Stoughton. We paused in the recreation room of Betty’s hospital to listen to the music of Martha Ann Fieldhouse and her all-girl orchestra, which was currently touring the country playing special Student Nurse Benefits during study hours. Jean Rodrick was specialing in a Psychiatric ho.spital nearby, taking care of millionaires who had gone haywire in the 1968 depression. Dolly White was offering her experience in this hospital as instructor for the course Home Care of the Student on Major W arning.’’ W e found her reading a magazine article by Jan Bowe Smith entitled The OB Nurse ' s l ole In ( ' aring For the Specimen Diiriiif; Hone (iraCl.” Dolly told us that Mei- lei HoFinson had just become supervisor of the Miller ickin : Department at Mtill. Our last stop in this vicinity was a visit to the DPI) of another hosf)ilal, where we heard about Betty (iailafjher, currently working); as nifiht nurse there. This was the otdy place she could tind where she could sleep I I PM to 7AM without interruption for coffee time. W e returned to Boston for a get together with some more of our friends, meeting in W alcott Bee Boom. After drinking the proverbial tea, we decided that we needed a cup of colfee. As we left the W hite building (a few had climbed the wall surrounding W alcott ) we saw Barb Bullard being rushed into E.W . The police were nice enough to let us speak with her for a few minutes. She had been campaigning on the common for the three year school of nursing j)lan when a car had swerved over the curbstone and knocked her off the platform. She tried to hand us some j)amphlets on the subject, hut the police interrupted, so we left. W e stoptjed at a small restaurant in IIAB ABD S(|., so small that some of us had to stand outside to chat. However, nothing could suppress our desire to reminisce. Beth Huhley looked grand in her Air Force uniform. She was in charge of a psychiatric unit for airmen who had flown forty missions without planes. Above the din, we heard Marilvn Marzelli olfering to autograph her hook, “Mtill r.onfidential . Since it had been banned in Boston, however, no one knew what she was talking about. Gloria Beuter had come up from New ’t Ork, where she was subbing for “Alice on the Jackie (ileason show, and also working like a dog in an animal act on Coney Island. We were not surprised to hear that Molly (iroetz was working as clinic nurse at MIT and I’hyl Tucker had set up her own switchboard in Winchester. Phyl was also chairman of the P ' P A there, a post awarded to the parent with the most children enrolled in the public schools. Betsey Buck and Alice Gill and their respective husbands were running a rest-home in Provincetown for worn out New orkers and nurses in the same condition. We marveled at their collections of shells which they had gathered over the years. W e w ere also very impressed by Barb Mc(iarrity ' s new burlap casual which she had purchased on her latest vacation in Capri. F nfortunately. Barb had to leave early, as she w as working in Minnie ' s on a split. We visited several other places after Barb left. Norma Walker kept disappear- ing at these s{)ots; her training as a Public Health Nurse compelled her to check the kitchens to see that they were complying with sanitation laws. Duty minded Norm almost had us forceably ejected from one establishment when she loudly insisted that it be closed down. A familiar face appeared on the T screen just theTi diverting everyone ' s attention. It was Syl Brown, explaining her discovery of how to pump oxygen directly into the veins of people with congenital heart disease. She hit upon the idea when j)umj)ing up her automobile tires. Syl always had a wonderful mind for association! This program was followed by a presentation by Anne Lynch, who had revo- lutionized the T world by instituting a two-minute program with a twenty-eight minute commercial. Her sponsor, the Wide-Awake Benzedrine Company, had presented her with a special award. Cory Boucher was the next to make a hurried departure. She was a stewardess on flights to Indonesia, and she had to catch her plane. We told her to give our regards to Judy (iilmore, who was working there in a leper colony. Judy had sent a telegram ex- plaining why she couldn ' t come to our reunion! Before we could stop her, Jean Sivert jumped up on the table to put her foot on the bill. She insisted that she should pay it. Being owner of a chain of hosiery shops dealing exclusively in black nylons not only gave her the money for such expen.ses, but also revealed her other incentive, to dis{)lay her own sheer handmade nylons. It was rumored that (iay Jones was considering a merger with Jean, (iay had a shop, catering to the student nurse trade, where runs in black stockings were invi.sibly repaired. Happy to have our expenses paid for us, we finished our colfee and crushed out our cigarettes and headed for home. .As we wearily climbed the stairs to our rooms, we decided that perhajis Per Se was correct in the a.ssumplion that we were getting old. Of course, we would never admit the fact to her! But as she hopped upon the windowsill, and turned back to see us collapse on our beds, a knowing chuckle escaped her lips, and we realized that, as always, our secrets were not secure from Per Se!

Marcia told me that she had just returned from a flight to France, where she personally eon- dneled hna W hite on her demonstration tour of the latest trends in medical art. Alma has aehiexed great fame in this Held for her illustrations of the ell ' eet of jelly on Miller, Ahhot and Levine.” hile in France, they went to visit Pat Maeauley, now editor of the French .lournal of Miirsing, only to lind her working diligently on this month’s illustrative story on the missionary work of Simone Thomas. She told us that Tommie ' s new endeavor was teaching Fr(‘nc.h to Chinese children in French Indo C.hina. Pat had just completed her new novel, “Prevent (lastric Ulcers l y Staying Happy”. As we landed at Logan Airport, we were greeted by a colorful billboard announcing the new Broadway hit “I Am A Pogo Follower”, written by Mona Smith and starring .loan Brunjes, who last ap- peared in .lust Plain Bill”. Marcia told me that Niona’s novel. M(‘n Do Make Pas.ses At Girls Who Wear ( dass( ' s” had .sold out at B. 11. lute’s. We bid Marcia goodby and walked toward the rev vlv ing door of the lobby, oidy to find it spinning. It was Barb Masse who had returned from (iermanv three weeks late as usual, to di.scuss in the U. iN. the advantage ' s of being a German war bride. She told me about nieeting .Ian Bis.son and l)i Kager and of their re ' cent appointments as directors of a new American hospital on the shores of lh( ' canals of Venice. At the same hospital, .loanie Caine was doing research on the sodiuni ( ' ontenl of the canal water in relation to sodium restricted diets and its etl ' ecl on electrolyte balance. I entered the lobby and lu ' ard Flo Kobialka on the radio adv( ' rtising her latest product — If your yodel is weak, and you find you can’t sp( ' ak, my lozenges you can take, and it’s millions you’ll make”. I hopp( ' d onto a .Steer-Bight Cab. one of Holly’s latest PH)! models, which was certaiidy smoother riding than the bumpy beach wagon rides 1 used to tag along on down Charles Street ten years ago. WhiU cruising down Ivmbankment Boad. 1 noticed that an unusual type of hospital was just being completed. Upon further scanning. 1 discovered its founder to be Buth Hayden, whose main claim to fame was ortho- pedic brac( ' s for broken down horses. All of a sudden, our cab was stopped by a large crowd of people who were rushing to MGM “Pops” night at the Ksplanade Shell. W e heard a .soprano voice singing “1’he Boston BeguiiK ' ”. and it was none other than Barbara Cousins accompanied by Pat Dwyer. Holly told me that Bobbie had conn ' in from Springfield that night where she is spending her free time singing lullaby’s on the 1 louK ' inaker’s Badio hour and Pat is following in the footsteps of her famous pianist husband. Just as we were leav ing. Marge Batchford calk ' d to us and fought her way through the mob. It seems that she organ- ized the concert in bi ' tween her work in the research department at M.(LH. whi ' re she has been studying the side ellects of microbi ' s on mosrpiito control. 1 bid them all goodby and crossed Funbankment Boad to vvlu ' re the newest nurs( ' ’s residence had bei ' n built on the site of tlu ' old 22. This is the ultra in modern (h ' sign, and was donati ' d by at Keen’s husband, a prominent politician in Massachusetts.

Memories of our Big-Little Sist( ' r Parly came back to me. but then ' was one chang( ' — dusting powder was no longer necessary to grey Dotty’s hair, for her inU ' nsive work on achi( ' ving a two year course for B.N.’s while working a 72-hour wi ' ek had done the chor( ' naturally. 1 asked Dot if she had lu ' ard from her fellow Nevvporl( ' r, June Blank. She said that she had n ' ceivi ' d a lett( ' r from her just a few days ago. and that she is still there waiting for her admiral to return from a crusade. We hear that he’s high on a hill - fighting for the “Cross.” ( )ii(‘ of Itic iie«(‘st rcatiircs in this iiiodcrn lioini“ va ' a laiill in. made lo order, readily a ailal)li dale hnn ' aii run by the .soeial hnl terfly. Mnlli V’aehon. Ilnlhie was busy inter iew in;; prospect ive dates that Ikt I ' riend and eo-worker. ,b‘an Willis, had sent over I’roin the local U.S.O. center. They had deciiled that al ter working: relief six niphts a week, tlu ' y needed some diversional therapy to take their minds oil ' rmrsin;;. Since they couldn ' t find me a date. I left. I hopped the M ' l ' . lo South Station. Whih waiting; for the train, I met Jean (Jagnon Forman and her husband, who is now editor of the Boston Herald, on their way to a convention in New Ork. They were tnaking this trip to cov(t a forum to be givf ' n by Or. ' t vf)nne Schenell of Columbia Cniversity on the nece.ssity of incorporating English Lit and spelling into nursing programs, •leanne is in the headlines, too. as she had recently been ap[)ointed [iresident f)f the National Ski Patrol and will soon fly to Switzerland for lh( ' (leneva Conference. She is being met by Anne Henley, now a skiing instructor, who has made millions ley patenting jib skis for that added speed. I boarded the train for New York, and purchased a magazine entitled, The Saiuls of Time” published by Bita Stolnlonis and her husband. On the inside cover, there was a picture of Bita modeling her newest creation, a black and white check( d nylon negligee, featuring white collar and cull ' s. Time passed (piickly. and .soon we were in (irand Central Station. Amid the confusion. I tripped over a suitcase and almost knocked over its owner. Irene Webler. She was on her way to California to complete her survey on the elfects of teeth on the decaying population. She said she had just spent the we(‘kend in Philadelphia with Dottie Silva, who is now the wife of a world famed heart surgeon. Dottie had just been awarded the honor, “OUTSTANDINti MOTHEB Oh’ THE EAB”, for luuing had nine sons in ten years. Driven by an unknown power to find my friends, 1 was again on my way, this time ht ' aded up the great white way- studded with its exclusive shops. The strange feeling that 1 was headed for Jones Beach lun ' d me into the “WHEBE IS IT! ' ” bathing suit shop. ,Iune Stott and Carol Orf man were the co-designers of the bathing suits guaranteed to fit into your cigarette case and still leave room for king sized cigarettes. In the center of a built-in-pool. Fay Scribner was modeling one of the new designs, ami I saw that at last she had found .something that lit her without any alterations. Her husl)and was recently promoted to president of Car- berrys, one of New Ork’s biggest department stores. As the suit “swam” on me. I left the store destined to go to Jones Beach. 1 caught a bus going in that din ' ction and sat back to enjoy the sights. Suddenly my iew was obstructed by the petite figure of Edna Ho[)per w ho had taken the job of guide so she could see the sights of New York before returning to Bosie. Arkansas, to assume the position of Public Health .Nurse ' . V Idle we renurdsce ' d about the old days at the Ceneral, she told us that Bo.see Jingozian was head nurse on the new female wing of White (i. This has been developed in order to maintain the morale of the male patients. Lidna says she’s having quite a job of it. As the bus drove along the boulevard of Jones Beach, our attention was directed to the opening of a new Pizza house w hich was featuring pizzas of the non- fattening variety. Since the desire of pizza had been instilled within me back in student days, 1 decided to investigate this unusual oiler. hen I entered. I was greeted by the owners, Ann Ricci and Alarie DiMattia. They persuaded me to stay for the floor show which was just about to start. Its feature attraction was none other than Barb Ogilvie, the Hula-Hulaist of the F]ast. They had just imported this act from New Hamp- shire where she had been lecturing on “Woman of the W Orld”. Adjoining the pizza house was a modernistic First Aid station run by Chris Jones, who thought that it was appropriate to work at her namesake’s beach. Her slogan was “When you’re riding a wave and people think you are grave, take a drarnamine pill, to j re- vent getting ill”. Chris told us that Agnes Cahoon had taken a job as life guard, and I was glad to hear that she was combining her knowledge of body mechanics and her love of the ocean. While strolling along the beach, 1 met Nan Vautrain and Edna Toomey who were on a much needed vac ation from their recent in en- tion. the automatic needle threader for rapid surgeons. They were just acclaimed for their good use of re- sources in this field. Traveling further down the boardwalk, I met Jan Helfand with her two sets of twins who were overjoyed about their mother’s new economic invention, the non-drip, four-scoopeil, multiple ice-cream cone. It seems she had to figure out a time saver so she could have a few minutes to spare with her other eleven children. Down on the beach 1 spied what appeared to be an old New England bonfire. 1 hustled over there to find Barb Flynn reminiscing over the old days at M.(i.H. She told me she was presently working on the thesis for her Master’s Degree entitled, “Laugh and the World Laughs with Aou”. W ith a sudden flare-tip, the blaze became more vivid and seemed to engulf me. It was then I realized that I had been carried away by my imagination and the sincere hopes for your success in the future, for I lind myself still sitting at our 19.14 fare ell gathering.

At the regular meetings, held each month, September through May, a short worship service led by one of the officers introduces the meeting. A business meeting follows. Many speakers were engaged during the year and these speakers hel[)ed to broaden the scope of under- standing that the nurse must have as [ art of patient care. ' The officers of the J ' rotestant (dub are: PHKSIDKNT Barbara (’ousins MCK-I’HKSIDKNT Klizabeth (iallagher Shd ' BK ' PAB - Martha Ann Fieldhouse riUvASl BKB ( ' hristine .Jones Barbara Mayer and C.harlotte Brown were also on the execu- tive board. THE GUILD OF PROTESTANT NURSES SETON- NEWMAN CLUB I ' he Seloii-New man Clul) I ' unclions in hehalf ol ' the Catholic students at the l(lll. Any type of student (nurse, dietician, etc.), may hecoine a niemher, althoujih, for the most part, membership has consisted of student nurses up to now; and all fjraduates are welcome to attend the meetings that are held once each month. The Catholic Chaplain of the hospital acts as our spiritual advisor, and Miss Quinlan as faculty advisor. The prime purp ose of the club is to provide a means whereby the members may carry over the ideals and apostolic creeds of the Catholic Church and Cod into their nursing in hopes of becoming more understanding, patient, and, in general, better nurses with strong favorable patient relation.ships. These meetings also provide a get-together whereby all problems encountered in nursing and social life may be answered and solved, if possible. After the initial old and new business is taken care of at the meetings, our f ' .haplain talks about any subject which may have been recpiested or that he deems inter- esting. It may concern nursing, court. ship, marriage or better knowledge of our faith and church. Sometimes we have, in addition, movies or guest speakers; more often we devote these few hours each month to our Chaplain to allow him to talk with the students. After each meeting a refreshment period and social gathering follows. Once each year we have a Communion breakfast at our (Chaplain ' s Parish, a Sunday C.olfee hour with the Protestant Club, a picnic with the Protestant Club, and various holiday parties. Further and larger social activities are offered by the Newman Club Federation located in Copley Scpiare, for we are but a small branch of the large National Newman Federation which has clubs in all American colleges and large cities. THE STUDENT NURSES COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION The S.! .( ' .A. is llie ollicial sludenl fiovermnenl orgaiiizalioii of Ihe school of mirsinj;. As the name implies, this organization is run primarily by students with the help of certain faculty advisors. As with any student government organization it has the responsibility of enforcing school regulations in addition to many other primary objectives. Its annual calendar spon.sors such things as the Christmas and June formals, Thanksgiving and Christmas open house, and many other extra-curricidar activities for the student body. The Association provides a means through which business pertaining to the whole sluclent body may he transacted; it alldrds better understanding between faculty and stu- dents through a medium of expression, the student council; and it creates a more unified spirit through group social activities. J ' he ofhcers of the S.A.( ' ..A. and Student Council are; PHKSIDKNT — Christine Jones Marcia Muir K .K-PHCSI DKNT — Ann Henley Marlene (iroetz SECHKTARY — Sally Nash Margaret Brown TBEASl HEB — Joanne Willis Barbara (lallien BROADER HORIZONS liroader Horizons has tried to a})peal to the outside interests of onr students and hos- pital family by olfering activities in art, music, literature, Feminine Features, atid sports. We also sponsored the monthly Birthday Teas and the Backgrounds committee. The Art Committee particularly hronght copper crafts forward in a.ssociation with the lA ' s. Many beautiful home and decorative articles were displayed with pride in onr .lime Ivxhihition. ' Fed Bichard, musical advisor, fully agreed with onr Music committee and aided them with such projects as a six-week music appre- ciation course and in obtaining tickets for Symphony Hall and “First Nighter ' s”. Indi- vidual students and friends entertained with organ and {)iano recitals. Phe combined efforts of the Music and P ' eminine PTatures committees resulted in a dreamy, beautiful “Fa.shion Show in which the student nurses modeled all the latest styles. We learned about domesticity and gla- mour through lectures on modeling, china and silver. A new interest was stimulated in poetry by the Literature committee and a most in- formative tour through a local newspa[)er oflice was planned for the student nurses. h ach athletic event was eagerly antici- pated, especially when the s[)orts teams chal- lenged other schools of nursing in basketball. S(piare dances, bowling, ice skating, softball, picnics, and bridge were also included in the schedule. Backgrounds committee s[)iced our over all program with a lilm on a trip to luirope and an iidbrmative representative of the I . S. Air P ' orce. Did we eat? Oh, yes, birthdays resulted in a monthly tea with everyone enjoying a huge birthday cake. Of course, those whose birth- days occurred in the month received the largest pieces! Our Publicity committee outdid itself with the best adverti.sing we ' ve ever had. This was our biggest aid to increasing our member- ship.
