Junior Year Maternity was a pregnant pause between Pediatrics, which was child ' s play, and Psych, about which I was ' crazy ' (if you 11 pardon the expression). In the O. R. , I had a bloody good time; but in Clinics, I waited an eternity (just like the patierits do) to finish up the year and GO HOME. ORTHOPAEDIC APPOINTMENTS “OUR CLINICS” Mrs. Thelma Powers Mrs. Ann Pirog Mrs. Cathy Barrett Things that don ' t actually kill you out- right make you stronger. One learns in life to keep silent and draw one ' s own CONFUSION. 31 Miss Ann Cahill THE OPERATING ROOM — THE ULTIMATE IN STERILITY. M. Miss Jean Boswell ”Twas the night before OR and true to the norm, I was nervous as hell and pacing the dorm. Alarm set for six, 1 retired for the night Awakened at daybreak to continue my fright. Quite some time later, and set for the day, 1 returned home elated and said It ' s O. K. 32 Scrub to the elbows. That ' s what education means -being able to do what you ' ve never done before. ” G. Palmer 33 MATERNITY Do not the most moving moments of our lives find us without words? Marceau. Anne Marie Fleming, Nancy McNeese, Janice Mackin, Mary Stannick, Missing, Cindy Levine. 34 Man wonders over the restless sea, the flowing waters, the sight of the sky, and forgets that of all wonders, man himself is the most wonderful. 35 36 Hope is both the earliest and the most indispensable virtue inherent in the state of being alive- - If life is to be sustained, hope must remain, even where confidence is wounded, trust impaired. Erik H. Eriks on . . and after North Belknap Proctor House The Tunnels 39 40 By observing and assisting Nature You have witnessed the miracle of birth. You have seen the development of mind and body; You have observed the courageous sufferer Adjusting to life and living. You have watched the quiet and peaceful Release from suffering at the last moment of life; You have known and served all ages. All races, all creeds, all walks of life. You have had your first patient. Your most successful nursing. Your most difficult and challenging patient. Your first loss of a patient. Your first delivery”. Your first scrub . Your good friend who was ill Your relative who had an operation. Your first visit in a home. Your first teaching as if you knew The whole gamut and galaxy has made possible your development.

But the time I spend with you, is my way of saying what I have no words for yet. JOAN DEVLIN If you can ' t dazzle them with your brillance, then baffle them with your bull. INGRID ASTROM I shall never forget the time I spent in this school . . . the longest, hardest years of my life. 58 You give but a little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. K. Gibran KEITH F . PLANT MAGGIE O’SULLIVAN The important thing is this: to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become. Gharles DuBois VALERIE MORGAN The pursuit of excellence in the face of adversity is inevitably matched by the glory of the result. If I work toward an end, meantime I am confined to a process.

Cat Stevens JO-ANN FITZGERALD And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make. Abbey Road MARYDAWLEY When you part from your friend, you grieve not; for that which you love most in him may be clearer in his ab- sence, as the mountain to the climber is clear- er from the plain. MARGARET PHILLIPS . . . everything is gonna work out great. It ' s gonna be the best life I ever had. MARY JEAN CONROY LAURA ASQUITH this place!

JEANNIE PROVENCHER Everything I want the world to be, is now coming true especially for me. CHARLES FREEMAN Much have I learned from my teachers; even more from my classmates.

Hindering this was a letter they received seven years ago, demanding they return to the School to finish the required hours of Chemistry Lab. Laura Squid Asquith, has chosen to better patient -Medical Staff communications by learn- ing Indian sign language as a specialty, her chief consultant being an ex-Baker 10 patient from Bombay. Amy Broderick, bored with crash -dieting has become head chef and clinical leader of the Home for Overweight Wayward Nurses. Ann Schkuta, after struggling through School on a 4. 0 average, went on to H. M. S. (Magna Cum Laude) and then to the Surgical Service of MGH. Sally Cartenuto accepted a position as Ann ' s scrub nurse, turning down an offer from MGHSON for instructorship in OR. Mary Alice Conway completed law school five years ago but continues to work in Pediatrics. In her spare time she represents patients suing the Hospital. She has just been informed that this is viewed by the Hospital as a conflict of interests. Claire Egan is Unit Teacher on Baker 7 and spends her time at Psych Rounds with the new Psych Clinician, Barbara Donovan. They have solved many staff and patient problems as a team and are currently looking for new subjects to keep them busy . Anyone interested? MGH has added a new aspect to Nursing Service --the Ward Jester. This is Beryl Peiser ' s innovation, and she performs comedy routines while doing basic care. She feels her best act is that of juggling four full bedpans while setting up a sterile field. Jan Stenberg has overcome her fear of public speaking and has earned a m illion dollars plus, giving lectures on Nursing As Related To Nursing. Her PR Manager is Cheryl Prescott. Tliey travel about the country with their favorite lecture stop at a small place called Father ' s . Barbara Hill, team nurse for the Bruins, gives special attention to Terry O ' Reilly. The Manager is contemplating her dismissal as nursing no longer seems to be first on her mind. Susan Baldi appears monthly on the covers of RN, AJN, and Nursing 87, modeling her ex- clusive new designer fashions for nurses. Keith Plant is the first RN on MGH ' s Social Committee. He gets to orient all the new nurses to MGH ' s (and Boston ' s) social life. Maggie O ' Sullivan is now international president of VISTA. According to her last letter, she ' s still really getting into it . Elaine Eriksen is happily married with two darling girls. Someone is still bringing her flowers every Friday night. Nancy Bixby is part of a pilot program for Medication Nurses. Her office is in the White Lobby, where all Von call patients to the OR must be brought for premedication. Reservations must be made early! Debbie Malsbenden has been hired as Page Operator at MGH. It is her melodious voice which now echos down the hallowed halls of the Mecca. Paul Garrity has expanded the scope of nursing practice and is known as a PNP. That is not a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, but rather, a Plant Nurse Practitioner. Dorna and Rick Peloquin have established their own pediatric emergency OR in a helicopter, working in conjunction with a large city hospital. Together with Dr. Ingrid Astrom, well-known pediatric surgeon, they do on-the-spot emergency surgery. Meg Anderson, as was expected, postponed her nursing career to take up her true dream as the star in the Boston Ballet’s rendition of Florence Nightingale’s Life. Molly McCarthy is currently employed as the Colonel’s private nurse and is promoting his idea of a Kentucky Fried VNA. Polly Keller and Alie Bush have just published their joint efforts in a book entitled: Health Care in the Communal Setting. Linda Chellman can probably be found at Mary Hitchcock Hospital in the Pediatric Department. Nancy Goulet is still doing what she likes best . . . evenings in the Baker Building, but she has now added supeivisor to her title. DeeDee Scott has been offered a position as school nurse at the Ritz Academy on Long Island. She declined the offer, however, as she finds the 9am to 12 noon hours far too strenuous. Patty (nee) Mclnnis, as the President’s wife, is the first RN on the President’s Council on Ethnic Relations. Valerie Morgan has, with the advent of improved electronics, had succe ss in running the White Recovery Room from her home in Medford. Martha Rhinesmith returned to her summer -employment nursing home after graduation, subsequently took it over, and now has a coast-to-coast chain of one hundred more- -all run on her high MGH standards. Margaret Hackman, still moving in a dozen different directions, specials oncology patients, plays weekend gigs with the BSO (violin), does cover photos for AJN and acts as a white water guide on the Hudson in the summer. Paula Donovan who has not eaten since Graduation in 1977 has proved to the world and to Mrs. Fleming that one can get enough vitamins and minerals from a diet of coffee and cigarettes ! Sheila McCready, now of Houston, Texas, has traded her black stockings and MGH cap for a Stetson and chaps as she gallops through the brush on her white horse to the hospital. Kim Gatie is just stepping out of her spaceship, newly arrived from Moon General Hospital (aka MGH). Earth to Kim, Earth to Kim ... Far from the shining lights of Boston, deep in the woods of the Appalachian Mountains are Dr. Ken Waugh and his nurse, Marianne Cavanaro. This dedicated team can be distinguished from the local farmers by the white bibs on their overalls. Lily Lee stayed on in Dorchester and has been hired by Thelma B Powers to drive around students on a tour of the area during their Clinics rotation. Charly Freeman and Joan Devlin continue to wage the battle for the vice -presidency of the Alumnae Association. Lindee Scannell resides in the alcove between Bulfinch 1 and 2. Despite these arrangements, she is still dependent upon Maureen Brennan to wake her each morning for work. However, Maureen is a CCU nurse in Washington (and also known as the Red Bomber ) and finds her job with Lindee to be very distressing. Josephine Albert is now well known for her revolutionary implementation of Bingo as therapy for post-partum depression. 75 Amy Pearson and Michael are in New Mexico where Michael works full-time in his pro- fession and Amy makes health -food cookies for his clients. Gail Jennings has just achieved her lifelong goal after years on the beat and now wears on her uniform of white: Sargeant Jennings, RN, MGHPD. We are informed that Kim Heller is still searching for the job with the highest financial mobility. Debbie Hayn left nursing only one month after Graduation and is now head of the Chemistry Department at M. I. T. Barbara Saloomey works full-time in the recovery room at BLI, taking fetal heart rates. Lynne Roper can still be found pedalling along the Charles River after a long 7-3:30 shift. (She sometimes gives sailing instruction, too!) Mary McConnell, now making a fortune as an RN, has invested in a pair of high-heeled nursing shoes and stands a happy 5 -foot 6. Ellen Sidlar joinf d forces with the OR instructors at MGHSON and can be seen about with Cahill, Dutka, and Boswell. Cindy Nigro continues to work at Friendly ' s, supplementing her meager MGH wages. Sandy Singrid Sundstrom is a Resident Psychiatrist at a hospital near Baltimore in which city she lives with Chris and their five children. Jackie Walton has temporarily left nursing to take a position as a telephone operator. This is an attempt to make back all the money she paid to Ma Bell through the phones of Bartlett Hall. Paula Calderaro, Doctor of Nursing (Yale, 85), is founding and directing her own geria- tric hospital. Mary Gordon left the Mecca for her teepee in Wyoming and no one has been able to locate her for a number of years now. Jeannie Provencher is Assistant Director of Nursing at Maine Medical Center, but somehow she still finds time to cook, sew, and shovel snow. Laura Murphy, who made her start as cartoonist in The General 1977 now edits the Alumnae Association ' s newest publication, MGHSONAA LAMPOON. Kathy Cowing has moved her nursing skills from hospital to home, caring for her own peanuts on the Skippy Peanut Butter Plantation. Kim Gott, who has moved up north to Virginia, has acquired her own film copy of Romeo and Juliet and is constructing a balcony outside her window. Genie Macdonald, Bulfinch Supervisor of Nursing, has discovered 1,001 incidents to report during her career, and she ' s still counting. Kathy Largey has finally stopped worrying about nursing school but continues to carry a pocket version of LIPPINCOTT NURSING MANUAL just in case . . . Donna Saxl has been working nights at MGH and has a superb attendance record. On summer afternoons, after getting up for the day, she has TV dinners at her poolside. Phyllis Kasden and Sharon Duffy are finally completing their ten-year project of digging a tunnel from Bartlett Hall to Father’s 3, for posterity. Donna Carey is still popping into Boston from time to time. She works part-time in three different cities and travels with her husband who is president of the Bazooka Bubble Gum Company. Kathy Coffey still whiles away the hours, waiting for the AAA to rescue her from her trusty Volkswagen. Mary Jean Conroy is living in Texas and is star photographer for PLAY GIRL MAGAZINE. Lolly Ottinger (nee Baker) has just had her third set of identical twins and is on LOA from work in her grandfather ' s building. Kathy O ' Hara is happily married with seven children. Suzan Cohen, Adult Nurse Practitioner, is waiting for Allyn to finish Medical School. Kenny Trask is happily married with seven children. Debbie Kink Fortin is President of the ANA, with Gail Hanson as her PR woman. To- gether they have ruffled quite a few caps in nursing! Jo -Ann Fitzgerald is still waiting to become engaged while teaching CPR classes with long, long-time friend Dr. Sanford Robbins. Nancy Hanley was going to send news of herself but couldn ' t possibly meet the deadline. However, she did say everything was okay . Lisa Grimes is Director of Nursing at Melrose -Wakefield Hospital, but rumor has it said institution will close due to several gas explosions. Mary MacGormack is a Clinical Leader at MGH and is supervising the MGH instructors on proper treatment of student nurses. Danny Sullivan has just received a million -dollar grant to research his belief that LOUD music does not harm one ' s ears. Jan Lintz is Head Nurse on White -5 and has whipped the floor into shape with the help of Anne Smeallie ' s excellent follow-up care. Ann visits the elderly orthopaedic patients dis- charged from MGH. Janine Hebert has joined MGHSON as a Maternity instructor. It is her quiet, peaceful man- ner which has smoothed considerably the road to BLI for the students. Maura Doyle has gone to Kentucky as a VNA and carries her equipment in her backpack. Beth Phoenix will soon join her with a new mode of treatment: Tae Kwondo as therapy for post- partum depression. Regina Charlebois, mother of nine, uses her nursing skills at home, but has been in social work since stat post Graduation. Lyn Bunnell is now working as Pediatric Nurse Clinician (in Psych) in the Hingham School System. She ' s still thanking Gene for his support during after hours. (Tracy’s in the Girl Scouts now!) Gyndy Munn and Cabrina Gallagher have realized their lifelong dream of becoming Nurse Stewardesses for TWA. Their long-standing beau. Bill O ' Berg, pilots most of the flights. These three are often in touch with Gail McDonough and her eight children way up in Kittery. Gail is assistant to Jeannie at Maine Medical Genter. Joyce Simmons accompanies Beryl on her guitar. Jerce can play Classical as well as Flamenco. Nancy Paltsios can be found teaching Nursing at the Master ' s level at Northeastern University. Only the Arborway Line can prevent her from fulfilling her duties everyday, ON TIME. Out of the Class of ' 77 have come several Adelaide Nuttings, Lavinia Docks, Ruth Sleepers and Florence Nightingales, but Miss Sherwin can retire to New Hampshire in peace. There can- not be found a single Sarah Gamp or Betsy Prigg! Central Objective; Gourse Objectives 1,3,4, and 9. Hours 12 and 13 of a 15 -hour unit. 77 For student nurses live differently than other students; they are together at night as well as during the day; they are observers, and to some extent, the sharers of the joys and sorrows of others; they behold the varied currents of life constantly flowing before them; they mingle their thoughts, experiences, sympathies, ambitions. The nurse is about to separate from much that she holds dear. It is a solemn moment in her life and should be treated so. How far short of what ought to be done does the school fall that merely gives the graduate a diploma and sends her away, with nothing to mark the occasion as one of accomplishment, with no ceremony to assure her of the school ' s continued interest in her?
