There are three symbols that belie her home school. The first is her cap, the second, her pin, and the third, but by no means the last, the quality of her work. We have chosen for our theme this year, the symbol of the pin, for incorporated in it are all the attributes of a mature woman, an excellent nurse and an out- standing individual. The Indian stands for watchfulness and strength. The Star repre- sents eternal hope, the Circle is the endless ring of friendship and the Olive Branch signi- fies peace, plenty, and good will. Although never mentioned previously, we would hope that the familiar gold retains the warmth of fond memories and the regal blue symbolizes the undaunted pride we will always carry with us. The pin, however, is only a symbol. Let no graduate ever forget that she herself is an am- bassador from the Massachusetts General Hos- pital and that she must always strive to maintain the standards represented on this precious bit of gold. Dear Graduates of 1962: September 1962 — an end and a beginning! An end of your basic program in nursing, and a beginning of a new way of life. All schools, no matter what the special area of study is to be, have two es- sential purposes. The first is to develop the individual for a career, in our School to develop a nurse; the second is to develop the individual, the woman, which also determines both success in career and satisfaction. Your faculty, as nearly as is possible in a diploma program, set before you a curriculum rich in opportunity, geared to your progress from year to year, and built with consideration of your future needs as a nurse practitioner. This curriculum as a whole also provided you with opportunity to grow as a person, to develop values which would strengthen and enrich your days wherever they are spent. Now the faculty’s plan is finished and the way ahead is yours to plan. What will you do? Will you realize the essential human need for continuing growth, not just study in school, but every day reaching for knowledge and understand- ing? Will you cling to the values you developed to guide you in your nursing and your individual living? Will you be the kind of woman who can hold high ideals in spite of pressures? Will you be the the kind of nurse whose attitudes reflect the true meaning of professional service? Only you can answer for you are now a nurse, a woman with a career. The opportunities and the decisions are yours. Best wishes and congratulations from the Faculty and the members of the Nursing Service with whom you have been associated. We shall look forward to hearing about your plans and your progress. fulfil 4 DEDICATION We, the graduating class of 1962, dedicate our yearbook to you Miss Harde- man. Throughout our three years you have filled many roles. You were not only our teacher and coordinator but also advisor, helpmate, and friend. To those of us needing personal guidance you have lent a sympathetic ear and the gift for simplifying our problems. Working untiring with our class and stu- dent government, you helped us to develop our thoughts and ideas and gave the energy to set these ideas in motion. We will always remember your energy and willingness to work with us, your wealth of knowledge, stories of world travel, and your knack of seeing the humor- ous side of the most serious situation. Through your influence and example we can benefit throughout our careers and lives. Thank you. The Class of ’62. Miss Katherine Hardeman 5 “Make new friends, but keep the old, One is silver, the other gold.” As you leaf through this yearbook we hope you will find that our purpose has been ac- complished. Capturing three years of friend- ship, laughter, tears, work and play in one hundred pages has not been an easy task. We wish to thank all those who have helped in so many ways to put memories into writing and photography. May the future of the class of ’62 be as happy and full as these past three years. Best wishes to you all, Peggy Demers and Lee Caudill 6 FRESHMAN INSTRUCTORS Mrs. Anderegg Mrs. M. Ticknor Mrs. R. Pitt, Mrs. M. Shealy, Mrs. J. Shotkin, Miss A. F. Gibbons, Miss R.

Its en- rollment is approximately five hundred with students from almost every state in the union and many foreign countries. The college has offered a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing in association w ith The Johns Hopkins and The Massa- chusetts General Hospital schools of nursing. This included two years at the college and three years attendance at the nursing school.

G. H. Many strange, frightened girls took the trip to register and then to the new freshman luxury lodgings at 20 Charles Street. We met new people, attended a tea, took tests, got lost in the huge corridors and met more new people. And now we were student nurses! The classes started: Anatomy, Biology, Pharmaco- logy, Nursing Arts . . . and we studied . . . and studied. We learned to sing “Getting to Know You” and “Whistle a Happy Tune” to help us along. Touring Boston became class work, our ‘big sisters’ gave us a Halloween party, and all began weekly Glee Club rehearsals for our Christmas concert. And we wore our uniforms . . . black checks, white aprons, black hose and shoes, and a flat, ruffled cap. The Christmas party was the funniest thing ever, and our vacation so welcome. But back we were with our fabulous firsts: taking care of real patients, making beds, giving injections. Soon came ‘Med-Surg’ and the summer with more studying, the Esplanade concerts, the Arts Festival, and evenings at the Charles for sun, relaxation and sailing. This was our busy, frustrating, tiring, but happy first year at the M. G. H. in the Nursing Lab. Ann, Miss Crosby, Nancy T on Bulfinch Lawn Peggy and her patient in the Anatomy Lab. Sue, Karen, Judy, and Miss Ajemian BOSTON LYING-IN Many were the new experiences held in store for us at Boston Lying-In . . . new friendships . . . new responsibilities . . . new babies . . . new mothers. We soon became accustomed to the sounds of the delivery floor . . . the labor room . . . the nursery . . . the post partem floors. Never will we forget the waiting for the telephone call that our clinic mothers had arrived . . . those long Wednesdays in class . . . the thrill of wearing our caps on curled hair in clinics. For most of us B.L.I. had many meanings, all stemming from the wonders of life’s beginning. 56 the Playroom An experience we all as student nurses and potential mothers anticipated was that of pediatrics. For three months we worked with children ranging from new- borns to adolesents. In the beginning of our experience we greeted our charges, saying under our breath . . . “terrible two’s, trusting three’s fascinating four’s.” . . . but we soofi found out we could never anticipate their behavior. Learning to know and understand these children, their behavior and diseases, playing with them, help- ing them and giving them the love they needed was rewarding. Many times of happiness and some times of sadness were shared by all. We can remember pediatrics as a time for growth and development of the children and our own knowledge and understanding. a ‘croupe’ tent Recreation — for the nurse Peggy and Pat read Fairy Tales 59 McLEAN Sfc N v-w Me LEAN Before our affiliation at McLean most of us had mixed sentiments. Some had feelings of anx- iety and fear while others felt this would be a time for relaxation. As we became aware of the principles of psychiatric nursing, our fears and anxieties turned to understanding and compassion and we realized our relaxed atmosphere was part of patient care. McLean has left us with many pleasant and some amusing memories. Our experience taught us to listen to people, to understand and respect the thoughts of others, and to help us live better with those people that we will be concerned with now and in later life. X.Y.Z. Our short stay in orthopedics was marked by an everlasting maze of ropes, pulleys and weights, all of which contributed to crushing our caps and causing lumps and bruises here and there. The little old ladies with their broken hips and the lively men were a challenge, sometimes trying but often fun. In the clinics we gave nursing care to out- patients, an entirely new concept for us. There was much bookwork for the nurse to do and many new procedures to be mastered. From the classes in the O.P.D. to drawing our first bloods we were in a refreshingly different atmosphere. And the most anticipated of all, vacation! This meant a change, rest, recreation, and maybe even travel, but all too brief and swiftly ended. Looking for something?

ACTIVITIES 65 � PROTESTANT CLUB In October, 1961, the Protestant Club was revived merely because His purpose, to function in unity for the honor and glory of God, was established. We have had challenging monthly programs and Bible Studies, our main project being the Christmas Pageant for the patients. In the various activities, the Christian Mes- sage has been presented (as in John 3:16). Through Him, much has been ac- complished in fulfilling the purpose He showed us in the Bible. SETON-NEWMAN CLUB For the past year, the Newman Members have worked hard at reorganizing and enlarging our club. We have had bi-monthly meetings, highlighted by several guests who spoke on the Catholic Way of Life, and occassional Holy Hours. Through this club, the spiritual lives of many members have been enriched. 68 YEARBOOK STAFF CO-EDITORS Peggy Demers Lee Caudill LAYOUT AND ART Louise Maclnnis, Editor Jan Prouty Jan Mortimer Becky Norris Cindy Makela Anne Adams PHOTOGRAPHY Tobey Drohan, Editor Katie Taavoste Marty Funaro Barb Kaminsky Ena Chang LITERARY Karen Keto, Editor Pat Sullivan Diane Thompson Sally Sullivan Jackie Libby Wilma Graham Bobbie Kerrigan Connie Hagerty Lee Brewer Kathy Casey Kathy Hannon Dottie Willis Alice Sullivan BUSINESS AND ADVERTISING Darrell Wilson Margie Oszajca TYPING Peggy Keller 69 THE INTERNES” Walcott House Bartlett Hall Greta, our new graduate, and Alice “Charting to be done” Darrell on the historic Bulfinch stairs Alice with an emergency on B 3 The Operating Area Claire and a favorite patient (service with a smile) Medicine nurse — Ena A SONG FOR M.G.H 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 ardous toil, She taught us reverence for our work; To ease the suffering, lighten pain, There is no task we dare to shirk. Where 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. 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. words by Margaret Dieter, 19 1 6 73 Capping! The big night was finally here. After two years of hard work and study we were to become nurse internes and wear that wonderful tall cap. All of us were of course excited, proud and very happy. Yet, as Miss Sleeper placed a tall cap on each of our heads, we could not help but be a little fearful of what this last year held for us. We knew that there would be increased responsibility, more hard work, and many new experiences ahead. All the same, We were looking forward to this, our senior year.

Twelve months of dream-like ease? no care? no pain? Bright spring, calm summer, autumn without rain of bitter tears? Wouldst have it thus, my friend? What lessons, then, were learnst at the year’s end? What shall wish thee, then? God knowth well If could have my way no shade of woe Should ever dim thy sunshine; but I know Strong courage is not learnt in happy sleep, Nor patience sweet by eyes that never weep. Ah, would my wishes were of more avail To keep from thee the many jars of life! Still let me wish thee courage for the strife , — The happiness that comes of work well done , — And, afterwards, the peace of victory won!” Anonymous. 1 92 This book printed by VELVATONE, a special process of li graphic printing.
