Executive Officer for the Out-Patient Department; Assistant Director of Nursing DEDICA TION It is with great pleasure that we dedicate the ' 5 1- ‘55 issue of Checks to Miss Ruth Farrisey, our friend and instructor during three years of training. Her classes will never be forgotten as pleasurable hours spent in learning, and her sincere interest in us as individuals will always he appreciated. ' ft } • i -«p f J L FORE W ORD As each day in training has become a part of us, we believe that a tangible reminder will in later years serve to recall these fond memories. So through word and picture it has been our aim to recapture the fun, friendship and high endeavor that has marked our training period. In future years, as we glance through the pages of “Checks”, the past will become the present again for all to relive, and despite our separation, we shall become a class once again . . . Dear Seniors: Congratulations on your achievement! The best of success to each one of you as you enter upon your career in nursing! in an enviable position. You have had a broader preparation. The oppor- tunities for the practice of nursing have increased. It is even true that nursing lias a different status in the community. And the need for nurses continues to grow. as you begin to work. Unlike your predecessors, who sought opportunities to work, you will be sought by employers to take positions. There will be little or no competition for work to stimulate you to your highest accomplish- ment. Promotions may be urged upon you before you have grown up to the necessary responsibilities. Although such possibilities may sound attractive they may not always be advantageous. There is no way to reach the top step without climbing the flight of stairs. Just as truly there is no better way to assure success in a position of broad responsibility than by sound experience at each significant level. each one of you. We have tried to set before you opportunities for learning which will give you a sound basis for your career. Because we have known you, and worked for your welfare, we have grown interested in each one of you individually. Now we face your graduation w ith mixed feelings. We are sorry to have you leave the School. We are glad that you are ready for the big step ahead. May you find happiness in nursing. May il be for you truly “A career with a future.” To us, who entered upon our careers many years ago, you stand You will have innumerable opportunities from which to choose In the past three years we of the Faculty have learned to know Her ivied columns rise to meet The glory of the Bullfinch dome, Serene, unruffled, beautiful, She waits to bid us welcome home. What if she gave us arduous toil, She taught us reverence for our work; To ease the suffering, lighten pain There is no task we dare to shirk. From 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 loo, withal, Who saw the faults we could not hide. And building on our better selves, She wrought results that shall abide. Oh Gracious Guardian of our past Thy children rise to honor Thee. God bless and keep you, M.G.H. Secure through all the years to be. SONG FOR MGH Words by M.

Some memories will be sharp and real, others will blur and fade, 1 mt as the years pass it will lake but a brief word or phrase to recall the cherished happenings of our training. ‘1 1 seems like only yesterday’ has already replaced the well worn phrase ' I can hardly wait ' that began back in August of ’51. As we reminisce, our history will serve as the only reminder needed. Yes, it does seem like only yesterday . . . August 28, 1951 . . . ninety determined gals beseiged MGH . . . us. Remember tea on the lawn ... so many strangers, the faculty in their starched whites shone with authority. How we hated to say goodbye to the family. Soon faces be- came names and bound by a common aim, that day began some of the most treasured friendships of life. Remember . . . meal tickets and the cafeteria . . . our tray style of dining. Roommates and the dorms; we heard you could see the river from our windows but no one got the directions. Charles St. . . . no elevators, the lire escapes, the church chimes and the busy RED. Thayer and the tunnel to the hospital, daily tea in the living room and those alley rooms. Remember the maze of corridors, getting lost and the stack of books they gave us. TCR and OPD were places but what was pin? Anatomy and nerves, chemistry and formulas, micro and pharmacology. Learning the art of making a bed and with someone in it too. The first day we put on our checks and what happened to them after the laundry got them. Quizzes and exams, E’s and F ' s. When we finally got our bibs and the disadvantage of being mistaken for an older student. Our solo flight on the wards, when we couldn ' t tell an intern from maintainance. The thrill of watching our first operation and the surprise that none of us fainted. Despite our fears and gripes, probie period ended and that first vacation was more than welcome. As Si s we stepped forth cautiously, some into medicine with its hotpacks, bedpans and fear of cardiacs, some into surgery, White 7, colostomy enemas and post-ops, and others into spe- cialties with traction, peri-care and gravity drainage. We weathered the DK and its hairnets, CSR w ith its IV tubing and t he recovery room. Under the guiding eye of our clinical interns, we learned to do more on our own and never dared forget to do our clinic and diagnosis sheets. We started working relief and realized why the older students welcomed our presence so. Before too long we experienced the graveyard shift . . . night duty for the first time. Classes continued all year round and slowly we got used to the idea of helping a doctor and to being called nurse, without wondering who was being called. And it felt pretty good not to he the youngest class. Passing into our second year, we felt a little more confident and yet safe from too much responsibility in our flat-tops. We itched from White 8 hut OPD was grand . . . no relief and week- ends oil. There we also drew our first blood and it was hard to tell who was more frightened, the patient or nurse. How Rif terrified us . . . 02 tents, tourniquets and Allan Streets. We sure needed that next vacation whether it came in the summer for a few lucky ones or in February. BLI was our first venture into foreign territory and it was met with varied opinions. Regardless of how we felt, none of us can soon forget the thrill of witnessing a birth, be it the first or tenth we saw, nor the thrill of just holding those little cherubs. Nights on postpartum and delivery, Ward L either as a patient or a nurse, it impressed us the same. Ohs classes and Miss Huttenmaier’s {S2 famed query . . . what is the commonest cause of pregnancy? Dorm life al BLI is a memory that will always be with us . . . the parlies, the housemothers and the closeness that affiliations afforded us. We survived it all and back to MGH. The OR proved fascinating and intriguing as we joined the ranks of foreign legionnaires in our too-long scrub gowns, gloves and headgear. The mass confusion of instruments and catgut gave many of us a good case of stomachum nervosum, and how could they dare let us first scrub? Ofttimes the surgeon thought the same things as we shuddered under their fury, and later listened to the apologies. Amidst the mess of sutures and needles, we emerged having experienced on call, sore feet and the idea of being a part of the surgical team. McLean was our destination for psychiatry and we felt exiled into obscurity way out in Waverly. We learned how to eat and still be hungry and the Coffee Shoppe or ward kitchens furn- ished what the cafeteria didn’t. East House will be legendary to all who worked there and each of us has many little stories of our days there. It was a friendly place and real pretty but what would we have done without the fire escapes, taxicabs or each other? Some would have preferred to stay but to most of us three months was plenty and we were eager to return to our fair city. We entered Pedie rather wary of what to expect and soon found out that children belong to an altogether different species. Their actions were unpredictable and to get medicines or injec- tions into them was a major project. How a sick child touched our hearts and how we marveled at their powers of recovery. We all experienced true maternal feeling as we sat to feed or rock the ba- bies on Burnham 4 or comforted the tears of others. Routine was so different . . . less to bathe, easier to turn and bell cords, praise be, kids didn’t know how to use them, or else found them to be a grand toy. These three months in Pedie really flew and we left, many of us vowing we would return. The date. January 4, will mean little to us unless you add Capping and then we shall never forget it . . . more excited than ever before. Remember that snappy march we sauntered in to and when Miss Sleeper placed the cap on our head . . . the reception afterwards at Bartlett Hall. That was our dream dorm where as seniors we lived as queens in the modern style with plenty of light and closet space. Some even agreed to bunkbeds in order to move in and after Parkman and North Grove we couldn ' t blame them. With internship came the cessation of classes and we were guided into the ways of a grad . . . learning, many times the hard way, the responsibility it entailed. Our first check made us all feel like millionaires but we soon found it didn’t last long. We seemed strangers in our pictures as we gained a glimpse of what we looked like in white and just being fitted for our graduation uniforms showed us that the end was in sight. The night we discarded our checks for formal gowns to bring us together for that long-to-be-remembered formal, and at long last . . . GRADUATION DAY . . . without a doubt the greatest thrill of all, as Bullfinch Lawn was transformed into the realization of a goal set back in August 1951. Then came Baccalaureate and back into the closet went our cherished whites as we donned our checks for the last few ' months. Three years of living and working together has made its impression on each and everyone of us by the memories of the things we have seen and shared. Now it is with both pride and sadness that we accept the MGH pin ... it will forever bind us as a single class and signify the three years of training together but it will also mean the end of friendship. We must admit, those of us who have come the distance from 1951 will always share in what MGH has given us and what we have given to each other. 133 }■ CLASS WILL “SEPTEMBER” As we, I he class of September, 54 , prepare to Iry our own wings, we wish to leave with our mother institution some of Ihe prized possessions she has bestowed on 11s and some of the trails by which she has come to know ns, in order that she may always remember 11s, her children.

It marked the first time an attempt was made to swim the length of the Charles. Terry Guichard .Chadwick represented MGH, while Waterwings Hamilton braved the turbulent turf for MIT. The crowds thrilled to the speed and persever- ance with which the swimmers slid beneath the low lying bridges. Bitter winds roused angry whitecaps this afternoon. Terry had protected her body with a thick coat of dehydrated petrolatum so it would keep dry. From the very beginning the judging of the con- test was made difficult by the closeness of competition. amazing burst of speed to go ahead of Waterwings and become the winner.

You would never believe all that has hap- pened to me. My big sister. Marge, took me out along with a gang of her friends with their little sisters. Gee, Mom, they are swell, but what stories they tell! Mary Jane, that is my roommate’s name, and I talked until almost 1:30 when we came in that night. We sure wished we hadn ' t when the alarm clock rang at six A.M. 1 didn’t realize that people were even up at that time much less on the streets. Yesterday we had our physicals. What odd stares we got parading through the Out-Patient Dept, in our P.J.’s. You would think people had never seen sixty girls in robes before. Could you send some of your rubbing alcohol? My back needs it after carrying all our books home to 92 Charles and then up to the fifth floor. Enclosed is a short list of things 1 couldn’t fit into my suitcases. Please hurry the can opener along. Love, Belli Dear Parents, March 20, 1952 Please excuse the delay but I have been so busy since my arrival. Up at six for roll call at 7:45 A.M. Our classes last almost all day and of course we study like little beavers at night. Usually we start about 11 P.M., however. Marge took me to the Big Sister-Little Sister party the other night. What a riot that was. I t was almost as much fun as the Cootie Party that our instructors gave us. They seem real nice. Marge says we have beach parties at Lynn Beach during the summer. Can hardly wait to see a whole ocean. There is a big exam in Micro tomorrow so I must get busy. Love lo all, Belli ■July S, 1952 Mother ( read this to Pop), We are going to the beach next week. My bathing suit just doesn ' t lit me any more. Please save me from being the laughing joke from the hills of Maine. 1 still don’t see how I could have put on all that, weight. M.J. and 1 hardly eat a thing at night and our meals are very well balanced. Please, please send some money as soon as possible. How is my father today? Your chubby daughter, Beth rest of us are in Medicine. Bight now I’m trying to re- member to take salt shakers off the low salt, trays. 1 only had three come back today. Of course, there were only three to go out, but as 1 say it takes time to learn. Do I ever miss those summer concerts on the Es- planade. Maybe Bach can compare to Louis Armstrong after all. M.J. and I both live at Thayer now. We have alley rooms overlooking the pool. It is very interesting to watch out my window. Another relief tonight. This time I will get off on time. Will write soon. Your tired daughter, Beth Dec. 20, 1952 Mother and Father, This is to tell you that I am in love. I went to our Christmas Formal Friday night with the most divine Med Student. The hall was done all in blue. It was so beautiful, even if it all did fall down the night before. He said blue was his favorite color just like it is mine. Would you please send me that blue wool dress I haven’t worn. You only bought it for me last year. A few more weeks and I start surgery. That should be fun. The only bandage I have ever seen is what my dear little brother has all over his knees. I must try to go and study now. concentrate on “Ulcers”. Love, If I can possibly Dr. and Mrs. — My dear Parents, April 17, 1953 Just finished the “Battle of Food” on Burnham Four. These little kids are so cute. Maybe a younger brother isn’t so bad after all. We have vacation in another month and a half. Please have my bed ready for me. The other half of us is at B.L.l. Then they go to McLean, so we hardly ever see each other. We w ill be back together in our Internship. Just think — $30 a month. My official title is now S2, please. A few of us have decided to revive the old newspaper called “The Draw- sheet.” We have lots of fun writing it and everyone likes to read it although they don’t care to buy it. There is a program called Broader Horizons that is just super. They sponsor all sorts of lectures on art, music, and of course homemaking. Remember the Med Student w ho went to the formal with me? His name is Dick. He is still around but with another girl. Men, phooey. Say hi to everyone for me and please send some more of those cookies. Beth lli. Folks, Sept, h, 1952 Here 1 am a big SI. Never thought I would see the day. Those new Probies are so dumb. Honestly we were never as dense as they. Guess it takes time to learn. Eighteen of our kids went into Surgery. The Mr. and Mrs. Jones, August 15, 1953 Don’t ever be ashamed of your common name again. 1 have been trying to say names for two weeks now in O.P.D. Some of them are impossible to pronounce, and j39 besides that we have to yell them for halt ' of them are deaf. Two more weeks and 1 start trying to regulate trac- tion. The first week on the ward and I’ll probably break my own leg. Excuse me w hile 1 go read my foreign dictionary. Love, Beth Nov. 30, 1953 Dear Mom and Pop. G.U. and Gyn. are now out of the way. I have never seen so many bottles on one floor in my life. We have been learning a lot about diseases of old age. 1 don’t mean to imply anything but have you both had physi- cals lately? We have started work on our year book, “Checks”, now that “Tempus Fugits” is all over with. 1 had a big part in it. I was the daughter that was never seen but talked about. Beth ( Monroe ) Jones December 10, 1953 Dearest Mother and Father, Why don’t some parents teach their children man- ners. I got called at one A.M. to scrub on an op. Hon- estly the way that doctor yelled at me simply because I couldn’t remember he was left-handed. He didn’t think it was the least bit funny when he asked for a toboggan for the patient’s arm. that I replied, “1 don’t have one handy but let me call for a sled and we can go bellyflopping.” Some people have no sense of humor. After I get to McLean I will be able to find out what is wrong with him. Must go study my sutures. Write soon. Beth February 26, 1954 Mom and Pop, Food, food, is all we ask. We have been at McLean for a month now. The man in the Coffee Shop is sick of my huge orders every day about five P.M. Remember Dick? He called the other day but I have decided that he is a paranoid schiz and not my type at all. Besides who wants to wait six months for a date. Time just seems to fly around here. There is some sort of a cottage that the kids visit at night . Something like t he “Friendly Soda Shop” in the square at home. The Walcott Dances are all through for the year and forever, 1 guess. They were lots of fun. The girls on one side and the boys on the other. Our motto was 1 met him at the Walcott Dance while they played ' All or Nothing at AH’, and there he was, nothing at all.” One of the kids married the boy she met there so that isn’t all true. Off to the Coffee Shop for a snack. M.J. says “hello”. Lore, Your thin daughter June 7, 1954 Mater and Pater, Graduation and Baccalaureate are all over with. It felt so good to be all in white. I’m sending the whole outfit home for you to keep. We finally get to see B.L.I. on July 6. Can you get down on the 7th for capping? Then we are interns and that first big pay check. It is going into the bank after I buy just a few things. Lore and kisses, J . D. Rockefeller July 28, 1954 Dear Pop, Could you send me some money? That check didn’t last long. Next month it really w ill go into the bank. Now I know why mom only had seven children. It was too hard on the nurse to have another. The next time one of my friends has a baby 1 am going to send a sympathy card. Well, I guess they are rat her cute after all. Dick has been over a lot lately. 1 hope you can get to see me and meet him soon. He really is not a bad egg after all. He starts his Internship next year. Guess where? At M.G.H. of course. 1 was going to work in Pedie when 1 finished and he just happens to be major- ing in the same field. Ask mother if she still has our baby dresses. Tell her not to throw them out. for they are too pretty. Love, Beth November 5, 1954 My parents. Now that I have only three months to go before 1 graduate, 1 am feeling very sad. All the fun and good times of student days will soon be over. I will miss all the kids so much when we leave. M. J. is going to work here with me. That will be rare. Can I ever thank you enough for what you have given me? Isn’t it too bad childern don’t appreciate their parents earlier. M.G.H. sure has been fun, besides an opportunity for meeting and knowing people along w ith learning. 1 have met some wonderful people here. By the way Dick and I are going to be married next spring. I got my ring last night. Thanks again for everything. Love, Beth and Dick - 140 } “MARCH ’ WILL We, the class of March 1955, being of sound mind (after psychoanalysis at McLean) and sound body (thanks to the cafeteria food) do hereby declare this to be our last will and testa- ment.

You really did follow our class motto, “Go West, Young Nurse, Go West . I ' ll try to catch you up on the latest doing of our classmates. How the last ten years have whizzed by. Speaking of whizzing by, JO BELTRANDI and BRENDA CAMPBELL frequently fly over these parts as airline hostesses for Trans Continental Airlines. In their last flight to San Francisco they met J ANE DLRNO who is the wife of an up and coming young intern there. M. J. MABCH AND and DOT HOLM are participating in the 60 day cross country bicycle mara- thon. MAIJA DUKS and AINA J ACOBSONS have crossed the sea to fulfill their ambition of pro- moting public health abroad. Down in deep, dark Africa PRISCILLA PITMAN, DOLLY POR- Ll ER, and JANET BAL DIN are running a rest home for frustrated headhunters. BABB GALLIEN and her husband Dick are very proud of their wheat farm in Minne- sota. They have taken to raising more than wheat, and are comparing notes with JEAN DUMAS and her husband who owned a large potato farm in Maine. bedtime. “MARCH” PROPHECY Some other members of our class have decided to see Ihe world outside of Boston. 142 }- Back at M.G.H. many of our classmates have attained responsible positions. ANN MAHONEY is now supervisor of nurses residences. She had excellent preparation for this as kitchen proctor during her three years in training. MARY ELLEN WINN, ELAINE ROBBINS, and BABB DURFEE are private scrub nurses for three eminent physicians at the Phillips House. GINNY ORFANELLO has been made Public Health Supervisor of the North West District after many faithful years of service with the V.N.A. DOT WEST, now treasurer of the Alumni Associa- tion, is still trying to pay the bills for our senior class. NANCY BOUCHER is teaching Orthopedics at Boston College School of Nursing. She has had a great deal of inside information on this subject as I’m sure y u will recall. CAROLYN FOSS and PAT O’NEIL are running a day and night nursery for children . . . their own, of course. In 1959 I attended the meeting of the NLN in Baltimore. GINNY HINES and BARB BROWN were being honored for their invention of a new type alarm clock. It wakes you up, stands you on your feet, brushes your teeth, and combs your hair. I had the honor of buying the firs t one for SHIRLEA SANKER, who is still trying to get up on time. Also acclaimed at the meeting were LORRAINE MARCHAND and TEDDY TAATJES who have been elected co-chairmen of the Florence Nightingale Movement in Massachusetts. Back home again ANN HICKEY is still trying to popularize the Walcott Dances from her position as student activities director. ANN BRADLEY has taken her role in “Tempos Fugits” seriously. She is conducting weekly meetings of the A. A. in Scollay Square. JO WILLIS and BABB RILEY are frequently seen at Phillips Drug Store trying to increase their caloric intake. They still hold parttime jobs as skeletal models in the Harvard anatomy lab. Radio station WBZ brings us the voice of CHARLOTTE HAMMOND who has become the wife of young Dr. Malone. A revised edition of “How to Win Friends and Influence People” has been written by MEG LAMB, CHARLENE KILEY, and MARGE HINCKLEY. I’m sure you remember them as the quietest and most sincere members of our class. Also in the field of literature is PAT WALKER who has published a new handbook with a unique chapter on knitting argyle bed socks for the Bed Sox. DOLLY DAVIDITES, CONNIE STRAW, HELEN DAVIS, and BETTY SULINSK1 are still singing the Bell Bottom Blues” because their sailor boys are sailing the seventh and last sea. The “Cranium Salon” on Charles Street is famous for its “Bulfinch Bob”, a new haircut designed by MARGE DUNN and trimmed by JEANNIE GUNSOLUS. Their first victims were MARY PELL and ANN MARIE VOZZELLA who, after the first shock wore off, became famous models of women’s coiffures. Speaking of making changes, ELL1E McGAUGlIEY appeared in court immediately after graduation to have her name changed to Cassidy, of course. Now no one has any trouble in pronouncing it. The only classmate suffering from ill health is JANE R1 DDELL. She was admitted to White ff last month without a skin. She finally took one too many showers. The three of us are writing this bit of news from my private room on White 5 AC. Bl TH PRIOR and NANCY STONE are doing special research on a neurotic patient who is still trying to jump over the tennis net. Our best wishes to your worthy foundation.
