We have worn Them Now, our hands present Class of 1959 and 1960 Massachusetts General Hospital School of Nursing Contents FACULTY 7 HISTORY 11 CLUBS AND ACTIVITIES 25 WILL AND PROPHECY 31 CLASS PICTURES 37 ADVERTISEMENTS 69 With these Hands — Our hands, when we were freshmen, were eager hut untrained. Though we often fumhled in our hounding enthusiasm, the patient assistance of those more experienced, guided us toward our goal. Our hands, when we were juniors, still unskilled, w ' ere gaining in confi- dence. New teachings, new ' places, and new ' tasks were yet to he encountered and appreciated. Now that we are seniors, our hands are prepared — gentle and efficient. We govern these hands with our hearts and minds in our aim to fulfill our role. We, the graduating class of 1959-60, wish to dedicate our yearbook in sincere appreciation to JOHN W. KELLER, our doctor and friend during the past three years. His warm manner and friendly smile will long remain among our fondest memories of student days at MGH, Dedication In Memoriam MISS JESSIE STEWART, who was our leader, our advisor, and most of all, our friend. As she always stood beside us, so also will her spirit remain, within each of us always. Hail and farewell! Hail to the new life which lies ahead. Farewell to the joys and freedoms of student days. Know you yet what it means to be a student nurse? It is to be young and eager for a new life. It is to have dreams of service untested and unspoiled. It is to see every attainment as a life success, and every failure as a numbing tragedy. It is to be dependent, and free of responsibility. It is to feel wanted, to feel important. It is to love everybody and to be loved by all. Know you what it will mean to be an MGH graduate? It is to be a little older, wiser, and more skillful. It is to change youthful dreams into practical realities. It is to be depended upon, to be wanted, to be sought after. It is to stand in white, ready for the first professional step. It is to know limitations, to question, to study, to learn, to work. It is to accept and deal with frustration as part of the daily life. It is to look back upon student days and be glad. It is to be a proud member of the MGH family. It is today and always to know of the continuing support and friendship of all those with whom you have worked and studied. MGH graduates, hail and farewell! Ruth Sleeper, Director of the School of Nursing and Nursing Service 6 ■VK. •Vv .• •. � . ■■•• • . . i •;-7 - ‘ . iMj-t , 4 r WV --v :. ’ ' ,x. • « ' ' . .

In mass bewilderment, we wandered into the lobby of the impressive, gray George Robert White Building. Today was the day we were entering Massachusetts General Hospital School of Nursing. For some of us it was September 4, 1956, others March 5, 1957. After registration, a tea was given in our honor where we met our upperclassmen and instructors with great admiration. That night our “Big Sisters” took us out “on the town” — some for pizza, movies, or other spots of interest. X Hr — ' 1 The next few days were spent trying to find our way around the seemingly unending tunnels and maze of corridors only to arrive at classes late — much to the amusement of all. Getting to know Boston was another big project. Night walks, fraternity parties, tips from upperclassmen all went to help us “discover” Boston. Then, as time went on, we found we knew our way around. Classes became increas- ingly more “nursey.” Homework and exams began. Library orientation by Miss P.D.L. familiarized us with magazines and books of nursing. With expectations, celebrations, and suitcases we arrived at Friday classes looking forward to week- ends. Transformation to a nurse came with uniform inspection. Off went our nails and hair, on with black stockings — not without difficulty. With terror and curiosity we looked forward to our first day on the wards. It took little time to find the utility room — a convenient hiding place. It was about this time, we began to lose a few classmates in favor of matrimony. Before long, bibs were added to our uni- forms which, after their first laundering concealed the fact we were probies. No one will ever forget our “seminars” with Audrey and Pearl. This was when we first became familiar with “Well, what do you think!” Meal tickets with pictures closely resembling those seen on want-ads in the post office replaced our battered worn green ones. For some of us, we then had our first M.G.H. Christmas. There was the family Christmas party, a Christmas formal dance in Mosely, caroling in the White lobby, a Candlelight Glee Club program, and several house Christmas parties. Charles Street had Sharon as Santa Claus passing out small useftll gifts thoughtfully con- tributed by “Granny.” In Thayer, Dee as Santa Claus distributed a grab bag. Last, but, by no means least, were exams, then followed by a welcome d vacation. I Then, back to studies. In January, some of us attended the Ice Capades collecting for the Heart Fund. Who had the slippery hands? ■■■ Most of us, at one time or another, snuck out for coffee in trench coats concealing various degrees of assorted clothing. Then came 7 A.M. duty, now familiar to all of us, but it seemed awfully early then. Those of us at Charles Street will never forget i getting up in the dark, and the long, cold walk to M.G.H. lighted by street lights. Moving day came as our ward days increased. These days were headlined by pro- J ' cedures. “Have you been checked off on that?” - March was a memorable month. One section of our class started probie period, while I others of us began our clinical experience. J Regardless of when a section of us had surgery, no one will ever forget, “Have you I been evaluated on that?”, the surgery picnics, the hectic days on White 6 and 7 with ! their notorious west wings, and last, but by no means least, the multiple “guess” j exams. ,ji Medicine block meant strict uniform regulations, studying long hours, “those” care i ' studies, “What are the toxic effects?”, and enemas until clear. Whose S.S.E. turned Jj into a bed bath for the instructor? l| I ' Before long, we had all had our XYZ block with another vacation. Eye and Ear meant chapped hands, feeding endless numbers of patients, the small, friendly ■ cafeteria, and sitting in class with an eye staring right back at us. Clinics were certainly a change from bed baths, and bed making — all those patients were walking! When affiliations started, the fun of moving will never be forgotten. Cars piled high to the windows — even a U-Rent-It trailer, helped to transport our belongings which proved to be numerous! On return the school welcomed us back with picnics. Boston-Lying In brings back memories of clinic mothers delivering in the wee hours of the morning, calling the maintenance man for locking the keys in the medicine closet, our battered hair due to the turbans, our good friend, Mary Ruth, grilled cheese sandwiches every noon-time, McLean students diapering babies, the Strict “Honor System,” and our j arties the night before leaving to which the supervisors came uninvited. ' hat student had maintenance men climbing in the elevator shaft in search of six delivery instruments? Why did the girls in Section 111 sleep with no sheets the last night? The last day, the group usually looked bedraggled but ready to move onward. ] 1 Tbe informal classes wbere we could knit and smoke stunned us at first on arrival It i at McLean. Before long, we all bad bruised shins from the “Green Door.” Why u was the medicine closet key hanging from Codman’s tree? The late hours amazed us j all — especially those coffee dates after relief. At last once, someone forgot to get her | meal ticket once a week. Each section has their own little memories of the parties — | Halloween, Christmas, the Senior Show, and the District 5 picnic. Wealth came with j our overtime pay. Pool playing became a popular pastime. Some of the girls even J returned with war stories of bites, attempted stranglings, and kickings, but everyone lived to tell about it. Nigbt duty, growth and development, “this is good,” all bring back thoughts of pedie. ji Everyone’s imagination was given a chance with our pedie play projects. Who was ■ the student caught riding up and down on the elevator by the night supervisor? Remember trying to get gloves on keeping them sterile, keeping your hands above J your waist, and then came the itchy nose? It could happen only in one place — the | operating room. It certainly was a lesson in interpersonal relationships trying to j remain calm, as vou discover the knife handle is missing just as the doctor is ready I to start. Two short buzzer rings at eleven o’clock could only mean one thing if you i were on call — the O.R. wanted you. We soon learned all the glitter in the O.R. i meant hard work — winding suture boards, checking rooms, filling suture jars, and | many more were included in P.M. junior duties. Usually a vacation came before or | after our O.R. experien ce, which gave it added incentive. ‘ I Scattered throughout these two years were various small courses. Remember History | of Nursing and Sociology? The many trips to the library rumaging through stacks of papers will not soon be forgotten. Movies and records were the highlights of the course. The Hopi Indians certainly had quite a life. In our communicable disease course our six hours of lecture by Dr. Eiumaura most descriptive ones at that — left many a lasting impression. t - ! Along with surgery, we all had orthopedics and gynecology. Who will ever forget i the vows to stay slim since most of our patients were “pleasingly plump.” The ll heavy casts in orthopedics with all those ropes and weights brought confusion and It bewilderment to many a student. Then some of u§ went to neurology. Urology was affectionately known as the rubber jungle. Tubes were the bain of our existance — one of some kind always seemed to J manage to be pulled out. lil ' 1 Then for some of us, January was the big day. Amid the serenity of the Science ' Museum, we removed our small caps to put on our school caps. With these caps, we I also took on more responsibility and added pride in our school. It also gave us self- ” ! confidence, more reliefs, more nights, and float privileges. Then, back to work on f j varying wards with intern classes once a week — disaster nursing, first-aid, and careers. ! I Then on June 12, the rest of our class donned their caps. Then our whole class . I became interns. June 12 also was the day we first wore our white uniforms. On came the black bands while we received pins and diplomas. After an impressive ceremony, back into :| our black and white checks to await September 4th or March 5th, when many of us I would put on our white uniforms, pins, and black bands permanently. j After three years, we finally made it, but no one will ever forget the enjoyment and ' feeling of companionship we had during training.

Words of wisdom from Miss Sleeper. The Glee Club, directed by Miss Margot Warner, was wonderful. Friends and relatives watched us walk in proudly. From “Flat-Tops” : I i Interns ' to “High-Caps.” That long-a-waited moment. Friends and relatives watched us walk out even more proud than before. Three happy interns!

Back in our own hack yard! to “Fiiml Success Graduation The handshake and diploma — our goal now reached. • • to “Whites” 23 Senior Prom Activities and many clubs meant only that we’d find . . . A way to be a better nurse ; a far, far broader mind. Newman Club is a member of Boston Prov ince of forty-eigbt colleges, eight Nursing schools, and National Newman Club Federation, which consists of eight hundred clubs. They have two meetings every month with various topics presented by well-known speakers of this area, a holy hour every month at Saint Joseph’s, and social activities. It is formed to bring the parish church to the secular campus. Protestant Club, although small, has been fun. During our freshman year, we were just beginning to re-establish the club, but in our junior year, despite affiliations we proceeded in full swing. The club members meet twice a month, once for serious and spiritual thought, and once for fun. Guided by Miss Fiske and Miss Jones, our activities ran from speakers and movies to bowling and spaghetti suppers. Student Faculty is a council of appointed stu- dents and members of the faculty working to- gether to bring about better understanding of better interpersonal relationship between these groups. Chapel “I love to come to this still place where deeper peace is always found — to kneel as though on holy ground — and feel my Master face to face.” A SONG FOR M. G. H. ITords by MARGARET DIETER, 1916 Her ivied columns rise to meet The glory of the Bulfinch dome, Serene, unruffled, beautiful. She waits to bid us welcome home. 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. Stern teacher, kindly too, withal, Who saw the faults we could not hide. And building on our better selves. She wrought results that shall abide. 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. When life and death are side by side. And creeds and races strangely blend. To share those things from day to day She helped us each to find a friend. 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. Glee Club Our student government holds one monthly meeting and four yearly Mass meetings. How many times did you try to get out of going to Mass meeting? May he that’s how you were introduced to J-Board. Remember the dances in Walcott, Bartlett, and Mosely; the Christmas and Spring Formals which were free to all students, and how we trudged through the basement corridors in our gowns. The picnics at Nahant and the District 5 picnics at McLean; the Birthday Teas; how we all enjoyed those cakes; the open house held in Bartlett at Christmas time; the Big-Little Sister suppers we had in the Doctor’s Cafeteria; the sale of M.G.H. sweatshirts, everyone at the beaches were sure to know where we were from; the Penny Carnival on Bulfinch lawn, which finally came to be about a year and a half after we had planned it. All moments to remember. We look ahead and hope to find a certain kind of wealth: A life of happiness and love, security and health. 31 Class Prophecy Dear Irene, I have just returned from a trip around the world, this time in a helium-filled balloon. I gathered so much interesting information to relate to my classes when I resume teaching, and of course, I will pass on the details of mv trip to all. later. However. 1 felt I must tell you personally of one incident. I was nearing the end of mv trip, intending to put down at Logan Airport, and 1 could see that I was over Boston. I was floating toward the Wliite Building, when I heard a small “pop” followed hy a “hiss.” I started to lose altitude fast, hut managed to get over the top of Walcott House, then, what do you think? I landed right in the middle of Bulfinch Lawn! They were having, of all things, refreshments for the alumnae who had attended the dedication of the new dormitorv, and many of your girls were there. I thought I’d write you a bit about what they are doing now: Many of the girls are married now and have families. Melba Cederholm has joined the Navy and is raising a little fleet of her own. Betty Boddy has started a tree farm and already has several little Maples which are growing like weeds. Marriage seems to agree with Mary Diguette, her cheerful disposition is just the same.

Jane Goodwin is on call nurse for the New England Hot Rod Assn. Edwina Steward is Second Vice-President of the NLN. Loretta Peterson is disaster nurse at a New York boatyard.

Charlene Bauer and Gail MacNeiU have just returned from a cross-country bicycle trip. Gail Porter is still on her extended Bermuda vacation where we hear she is running a pinochle parlor. Shirley Tryon is an airline wife, travehng the world over. I was happy to see that some of the girls are interested in the finer things in life: Barbara Teeigue is writing a book on child care. Sue Kenyon and Marilyn Mallinson are running a combination record and yarn shop and shoeshine establishment. Joanne Blanchette is writing her fifth knitting book for mothers-to-be. Cheryl Smethurst is a jazz pianist now appearing at Carnegie. Shirley Matweef and Helen Schwartz have a little art shoppe on Beacon Hill. Joyce Orsini was on the last Olympic skiing team. Priscilla Webster has the largest record collection in the world. She has added so many speakers to her machine that it fills a whole room. Charlotte Rudolph is a champion ice skater. She spends her spare time demonstrating slumber-magic mattresses. Some girls chose careers that didn’t tie in with nursing but maybe there is a connection; Maureen Qeary has found a prince and is stewardess on his magic carpet. Deets-C Bailey has finally been accepted at Annapolis. Joan Cardarelli has a beauty salon in Hopedale, Mass. Penny Coyne is running a “Hi-Hat” Club, and we hear her new drummer is the end. Mary Jane Carney is a senior at the U. of Arizona, making up for her lost social life. Ester Crossman is running a Maritime Academy ' somewhere between Me. and Mass.

Then there are the handful who still haven’t found a lasting niche but are busy accomplishing all the same: Noel Kennedy’s fiftieth oil well just came in. Barbie Phaneuf has finally saved enough money to buy contact lenses. Judy Freeman is Miss Whirlybird, 1961. Anne Halstead has been pro- claimed the Patron Saint of the McClean Hill. Barbie Cole can be found on the campus of B.U. Marlene Fantelli is now Mrs. Kentucky, 1961. I guess that’s all. Sincerely, Jean Class Will We, the class of 1959-60, being of sound mind and body, of varied talents and peculiarities, hereby declare this to be our last will and testament, disposing herein of the real, personal and mixed property, of which we shall be possessed at the time of our departure.
