Gram’s method of staining accomplished this, thereby sorting organisms into two classes. Gram-positive and Gram-negative. The Gram stain is one of the most important and widely used differential staining techniques. The combination of gentian violet, fixed by iodine solution, in some bacteria makes a substance soluble in acetone alcohol, and in others makes an insoluble substance. Gram negative cell walls have a high lipid content. During the staining procedure the alcohol extracts the lipid which results in increased permeability of the gram negative cell wall. Thus the gentian violet-iodine complex is soluble and can be extracted from the gram negative organisms. Gram positive bacteria cell walls are less permeable and the gentian violet-iodine complex is insoluble and cannot be extracted. Gram positive organisms will be stained violet and Gram-negative organisms, pink. PROCEDURE: 1. Stain with a drop of Gentian Violet for 60 seconds. 2. Rinse in water - Blot dry. 3. Cover with Grams Iodine for 60 seconds. Rinse and Blot dry. 4. Decolorize quickly with acetone alcohol. Rinse and Blot dry. 5. Stain with Safranin for 60 seconds. Rinse, Blot dry. 6. Examine under the oil immersion objective.

Welcome, Class of 1978, to the roll of the graduates of the Massachusetts General Hospital School of Nursing. Fifty years ago, the class of 1928, was the first class to publish a yearbook. Then it was great fun and hard work to produce just as it has surely been for you this year. Your yearbook will bring back many memories. Congratulations! In 1975 another book was published that fosters memories of the School and the MGH. Some of you have read parts of A CENTENNIAL REVIEW, 1873-1973. We suggest that you may wish to have a copy for yourself while the supply lasts.

The old fifth floor crew, Kate Berard, Martha Dicker- son, Marjorie Finck, Gil French, Marianne Knue, Rober- ta Raskin, and Debbie Vickers, are still working on their prophecies, but have assured us, once finished they’ll sub- mit them to Carol Guanci for publication. Susan Crouch sends word from Cape Ann that the Saturday night dances are better than ever, especially following a day on Addison-Gilberts baby post-partum unit, where she reportedly has been seen juggling new- borns.

Karyn Panneton writes from Boston that the newborn intensive care unit at Children’s Hospital is as intense as ever, but that she manages to go out at least twice a week for lobster at “The Red Snapper”, when she isn’t busy doing her own gourmet cooking at home. As the sun rises in the East, we find Sue Shadbegian walking the corridors of the MGH Clinics and we over- hear her saying to one of the patients, “The Heartbreak of Psorasis isn’t all it’s scratched up to be.” Sue Lee is working with Adolescents attempting to seek out their identity . . . and at thie same time she’s still looking for the bomb in the room.

We find Derby Jones, in addition to being the founding member, is now the current president of the F.D.B.A. of the Greater Boston area. Mary Gildea has just sold her one millionth copy of her latest book, “1001 ways to prepare tuna and rice.” A complimentary copy has been donated to each of the student residences. As we look through the MGH Catalog we find Kassie Reilly, R.N., as the head of the Maternity Department. When asked about her new position, she was quoted as saying, “I feel very confident for I know what it’s like to be in maternity at the MGH School of Nursing.” Charlotte VerPlanck and Vicki Omelanski have been working on their book, “10 ways to enjoy nursing school”, and they are in great need of suggestions. Unfortunately they feel such a book may never be published. Rosemary Duggan is working abundant overtime in the S.I.C.U. in order to purchase one unstained coffee mug and some stocks in Trident gum. At the first twinge of “labor pains”. Sue Engle Arm- strong leaves to buy “baby things” on her way to the hospital. Procrastination has won again! Linda Schultz is a private duty nurse for “tootsie” in a beautiful house on the ocean. Sheree Weisburg is happily watching the Walton’s with all her children in a pretty cottage with pretty white curtains. After surviving 3 years of “logistics” at MGH we find Rose Wilkeson living contented in Oregon keeping busy with her nursing career and dog grooming as a sideline. Margot Desrorier - Walking down Longwood Ave., we see Margot dashing from Children’s Hospital into her Cadillac which has her 10 kids hanging out the window. (Obviously Margo is still reviewing her O.B. notes.) Nancy Goulet is the supervisor of the Gray O.R. but has been stranded in Cambridge for the past two weeks commuter’s lounge • “My typewriter broke” • Sarah Gamp • “The alarm clock stopped” • “My IV stopped running” • the Prudential because her bike won’t make it through the snow drifts. Patty Smith Clifford has recently returned from a sec- ond honeymoon in Okinowa and is living happily ever after in Orlando, Florida. (She is still buying Stop and Shop’s “Piece of the Week.’’) After a great deal of searching (surprisingly enough they weren’t in H.G.’s) we found Jack Baker and Dean Stinson in the P.D.L. looking through A. J.N.’s of 1908, trying to learn the evolution of recovery room and inten- sive care nursing. And surprisingly enough, they still have the mice who visit Terry and Carol every other weekend. At the Laurence Memorial Hospital in Medford we have heard there was some confusion as to which Walker twin was responsible for having a 1st day post-op patient up dancing the “hustle”. Dianne was unavailable for c om- ment. (Or was it Debbie?) Liz Carps is a staff nurse on Mass. Rehab. 7, where the staff keep reassuring Liz that she does not have to look up her patients everynight. Kathy Keliher is happily married, with her job as a visiting nurse for all New Hampshire campgrounds. Kevin Graham is in the now-not-so-new home for the aged on Blossum Street, where he is resident live-in direc- tor of nurses. Laurie Taragowski is still floating in the Baker Building turning down job offers from every floor. Kathy Young is happily married, working as a unit teacher on an oncology unit, stressing the importance of not cutting oneself on a Heparin ampule. However she is still unable to do this task. Nancy Scanlon - It’s another busy night at Scanlon’s Tavern. It should prove to be very exciting because they are featuring the “dancing machine”, the hottest group around. What a surprise to see Nancy and her husband, Frank Chivas, greeting every table. Mary McGinn is still wearing a black and white uni- form. Although she’s still in nursing, she’s entered the convent. She called us to say she’s considering leaving the convent because the Bishop shut off their funds for Sun- day dinner wine. Jane Irwin - After getting her PhD in nursing, Jane took her million dollar smile into airlines. Her honey just chivas when he sees her. Pam Yeske is living in Brazil and as the 1st American Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, is still burning the candle at both ends and while sipping wine, is still loving it. Greg Webb, Director of Abdellah’s Nursing School, has just finished admitting his first class of nursing stu- dents. His program is geared toward meeting the nursing student’s “Hierarchy of Needs”. We’ve heard rumors that Dan Wollenzeihn is trying hard to convince Greg to de- clare Jewish Holidays as National Student Nurse’s day off. Anita Pandolfe is practicing midwifery in the lovely town of Gloucester and is presently planning the 2nd annual midwifery conference with herself as the number one speaker. Dawn McLaughlin declares that she’s still “Natures way of telling you something’s wrong.” Donna Gibbons has been diagnosed as having the rare S.O.M.F. syndrome. We extend our congratulations to her. Donna can usually be found wandering about singing her song, “Where did I come from. Where am I going. Where am I now, I do not know.” Barbara Sapareto has just been promoted to head nurse of the Allen St. Laboratories of the MGH. But comment- ed on this milestone by saying, “I really get into it.” Mike Vislosky is still working in the S. I. C. U. and swears he’ll cut his hair as soon as he finishes sc hool. He returns to Colorado frequently on his intra-aortic balloon. He is still receiving physical therapy for severe contrac- tures sustained by yearbook typing. Leslie Mulhern has decided to give up nursing as a career, and return to babysitting. She has just returned from a trip abroad. Barbara Munchbach is now charge nurse on White 7 with Peggy under her supervision . . . and still hiding out at Phillips Drugstore every afternoon after work. • drawsheets • sign in sheets • Tuesday assignments • elastoplast • Lead II • respirators • Goodman -I- Gilman • the narcotics drawer June 2. 1978 @ 3pm r ; . ■ ' 4 % W « HOSPITAL ALtJMNAE •H. % MELVIN BADGER DRUGGISTS “Where Good Health Begins” 175 CAMBRIDGE ST.
