MGH HEALTH SCIENCES LIBRARY FOREWARD The wise man looks into space and does not regard the small as too little, nor the great as too big, for he knows that there is no limit to dimensions. Dear Miss Gibbons: How can we iJiu into so tew Avoids all that you have meant to us these past three years. We remember the glance that saw our shaking hands contaminate every culture, your vain attempts ' to keep books off the floor and “fomites” out of our mouths, those “little quizzes” that turned out to be two hour exams, and the nightmares we had about the little frogs Avho “really didn’t feel it” (?) . We look back now and smile at times like ihcse, but we know that without your patient understanding, and determined hand much of ihe fun of learning would be gone from these memories. As seniors we have come to know you not only as a teacher, but as a counselor and a friend, whose Avarm smile and subtle sense of humor have made our “big” problems small ones. And so to say thank you as best we can, we dedicate our yearbook to vou. 4 MISS RUTH SLEEPER Director of the School of Nursing Dear Seniors: At last the long anticipated day has come and it is time to say good-bye to yon as stu- dents and to welcome you as alumnae. Now you don the black band, the white uniform and pin, to receive your diploma, granted “with all the rights and privileges apper- taining thereto.” It is time, too, to think aboitt these new rights and privileges tuhich are to be yours. Many of you who stay to work at the hospital ruill grow increasingly to value the privilege of xvorking xvith men and xcomen famous at home and abroad for their knowledge, skill, and inte- grity. You xoill learn to respect them for their ability to balance the rights they have earned xvith those of their co-xvorkers and of the sick. Yoxx xoill find many of 4hem who see in their high prixti- leges the obligations of Noblesse Oblixre. Those of yoxi xvho trax el near and far to xvork xoill begin to appreciate the wealth of know- ledge and skill which surrounded and sxipported you as students in the School, and to realize the freedom here to x ' oice nexo and different opinions. But there xoill be much that is new and stirnulatirxg to learn and to do. To you all, xohether at M.G.H. or axoay, go the best wishes from the Faculty for success in xvork, continxied learning in all your actix ities, and the happiness xohich comes only when helping others. Do keep in touch xvith us. We shall miss you. Ruth Sleeper MISS N. PETZOLD Assistant Director of Nursing “Dignity of thought and language” MISS I. NORl ON, MISS H. SHERWIN, MISS K.

MGH student nurses come in all sizes, shapes and caps. They are found everywhere — underneath, on top of, running around, jumping over, or slithering past patients’ beds. Doctors yell at them; head nurses criticize them; residents overlook them; interns tolerate them; mothers worry about them; and patients love them. An MGH student is a composite. She has the speed of a gazelle, the strength of an ox, the quickness of a cat, the en- durance of a flagpole sitter, and the capabilities of a Florence Nightingale, all rolled into one black and white checked uniform. To the head nurse, she has the stability of mush, the fleet- ness of a snail, the mentality of a mule, and is held together by starch, adhesive tape, and strained nerves. To the alumna, she will never work so hard, carry more trays, make more beds, or scrub for more cases than her predecessors. A Student Nurse is a wonderful creature. You can criticize her but vou cannot dishearten her. You can hurt her feelings but you c.annot make her quit. Whenever she becomes discouraged or the lamp gets too heavy, she should remember that there is a reward waiting for her. Because surely some of God’s angels wear white caps instead of halo. ;, and carry medicine trays instead of harps. And when the hours are long, studies are hard; when fatigue and lonesome- ness are on her threshold, she is inspired by looking forward to the day she can proudly say— “I’m a Nurse!’’ CLASS OFFICERS PATRICIA POSTER, SECRETARY; MARY BAIR, VICE PRESIDENT; SANDRA McFARLANE.
