1962 o Tr . 9 PpeseraCed by Hospital, of The Woman ' s MedicaL College of Pennsylvania School of NuRsiraa, What is a Student Nurse? Student nurses are found everywhere; underneath, on top of, running around, jumping over, or slithering past pa- tients ' beds. Doctors yell at them, head nurses criticize them, interns tolerate them, residents overlook them, mothers worry about them, and patients love them. A student nurse is courage under a cap, a smile in snowy white, strength in starched skirts, energy that is endless, the best of young womanhood, a modern Florence Nightingale. Just when she is gaining poise and prestige, she drops a glass, breaks a syringe, or steps on a doctor ' s foot. A student is a composite; she eats like a team of hungry interns, and works like the whole nursing staff put together. She has the speed of a gazelle, the strength of an ox, the quickness of a cat, the endurance of a flag- pole sitter, and abilities of Florence Nightingale, Linda Richards, and Clara Barton all rolled up into one white uniform. To the head nurse, she has the stability of mush, the fleetness of a snail, the mentality of a mule, and is held together by starch, adhesive tape and strained nerves. To an alumna she will never work as hard, carry more trays, make more beds, or scrub on more cases than her predecessors. A student nurse likes her days off, fellows her own age, the O.R., affiliations, certain doctors, pretty clothes, her roommate, and Mom and Dad. She ' s not much on working 3-11, days off with classes, alarm clocks, getting up for roll call, or eating roast beef every Tuesday. No one else gets so much pleasure from straightening a wrinkled sheet or wetting a pair of parched lips. No one else can cram into one little head the course of a disease, the bones comprising the pelvis, what to do when a pa- tient ' s in shock, how to insert a cantor tube (usually at 3 a.m.) plus the 10 top tunes on the Hit Parade. She may not be Liz Taylor, but she is an example of the American way. She is judged not by her race, religion or social standards; she is measured by a professional yardstick that measures her ability to make a bed, apply a bandage or sacrifice her time to ease the pain of a pa- tient, simply for the satisfaction of a job well done. She is a hard working, determined young girl doing her best for school and hospital. Whenever she becomes discour- aged 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 halos and carry medicine trays instead of harps. Anonymous. .: £ Florence Nightingale Pledge I solemnly Pledge Myself before God and in the presence of this assembly: To pass my life in purity and to practice my profession faithfully. I will ab; stain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous, CJ [3 and will not take or knowingly administer any harmful drug. I will do all in my power to maintain and elevate the standard of my profession, and will hold in confidence all personal matters committed to my keeping, and all family affairs coming to my knowledge in the practice of my profession. With loyalty will I endeavor to aid the physician in his work, and devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care. T T yearbook to our parents as a token of our appreciation for the invaluable aid that they have given to us in enabling us to complete our three years of nursing education. It is doubtful that without their loyal guidance and assistance we would have achieved the goal to our chosen profession. We realize that Dedication many burdens have been placed upon our parents during this period, such as the financial aid, the understanding and solution to our problems and the encouragement to continue when we were depressed. We desire to thank them individually and collectively. It is with humble pride and appreciation that we dedicate our yearbook to them, our parents.

We the members of the graduating class wish to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to Mrs. Aiken, who has so generously given of her time to act as our class advisor. We first met Mrs. Aiken in our preclinical period when she taught us sociology, psychology, pharmacology, and some medical-surgical classes. We did not have any classes with her again until our senior year when she taught us in the senior class block. However, during this lapse of time she aided us in times of happiness and disappointment. For her many kindnesses and under- standing ways, we will be eternally grate- ful. We wish her God ' s blessings with her nursing career and her family. Mrs. Aiken Class Advisor 14 Each class should have something to differentiate it from the others. This can be accomplished by class symbols. After much debate, we chose the following: Motto: You ' ll Never Walk Alone Song: You are my Sunshine Reason: We sang it as probies, to cheer us up, when we were blue. Flowers and Colors: Lilies of the Valley and Violets; White and Lilac Mascot: Donkey Reason: It ' s unpredictable and stub- born. my Yearbook Staff Editor — J. Redinger; Co-editors — B. Calhoun, C.

Lyons. 15 Freshman Year The Freshman Year is a year of anticipa- tion, excitement, and rewarding experi- ences, as well as a year of confusion, dis- appointments, and frustrations. It is in this short year that the young girl entering training is introduced to the desirable and undesirable factors of the career she has chosen. It is the year in which there are a great many adjustments to be made in all phases of her living. It is during this time that a good deal of the theory and classwork is done, being combined with an introduction to the practical experiences on the hospital ward. The combination of these can be very trying at times, but in the final analysis really comprises a year of en- joyment and rewarding experiences as the student nurse starts out in the career of her choosing. Junior Year The Junior Year is in reality the half- way mark. The student, having com- pleted her basic learning of both theory and practical work, is introduced to the more specialized areas of medicine which includes — Obstetrics, Pediatrics, Oper- ating Room, Psychiatry, and Rehabilita- tion. While being introduced to these specialities the student gains a more thorough understanding of her patient ' s needs and how to meet them. It is in this second year that the stu- dent becomes more adjusted to dormitory living and her practical work on the ward. Many things which were very con- fusing begin to become more clear. The student still has a good deal of learning to do and she is still kept very busy. However, having completed her first year, the Junior Student gains a feeling of accomplishment and satisfac- tion as she progresses on her mission to become a registered nurse.

MARY DE WITT PETTIT Chief of O.B.-Gyn. DR. EVA MILLER Chief of Pediatrics PEDIATRICS 44 J rlt « - j Vb Experience DIET KITCHEN STAFF Our clinical experience includes many facets of nursing. A major portion of our time is spent on Medical-Surgical floors and thirteen weeks are spent on both Obstetrics and Pediatrics. The rest of our time is divided into smaller spe- cialties such as Diet Kitchen where we spend four weeks; Operating Room where we spend six weeks; and Out- patient Department where we spend four weeks. We do not spend any time in C.S.R. but the equipment we use from there is necessary for all our ex- perience. Head Dietitian — Mrs. Floeck Head Nurse C.S.R. — Mrs. Anthony Supervisor O.R. — Mrs. Ciambella Head Nurse O.P.D.— Mrs. Duffy CENTRAL SUPPLY OPERATING ROOM , OUT-PATIENT DEPARTMENT 45 LIBRARY X-RAY These four places are rarely mentioned or given any recognition. However, with- out them we would be lost. During our three years many hours are spent in the library delving into ref- erence books, seeking answers to numer- ous questions. Many times each week we push a wheelchair to X-ray without a passing thought. Patients have blood drawn every day. Mr. Mathis restores parts of the body to normal functioning every week. We would like to thank these depart- ments for their never ending efforts in the diagnosis, treatment, and teaching of illness. PHYSIOTHERAPY 46 EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA PSYCHIATRIC INSTITUTION Miss Derringe Mrs. Bruner Clinical Instructors The Eastern Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute is lo- cated at Henry Avenue and Abbortsford Road — just next door. As Seniors we spend thirteen weeks in Psychiatric Nursing. During this time we receive our theory and apply it in the care of patients. All of us will remember — Thorazine 500 mg. q.i.d.; Pinochle; all those weekends off; the Monday night dances; and our new found understanding of patients ' problems. Magee Memorial Rehabilitation Center is located at Fifteenth and Race Streets — center city. As Juniors we spend two weeks here. We learned the techniques of rehabilitation which restore the patient to society as a functioning human being. All of us will remember — O.T.; P.T.; the swimming pool; crutchwalking; seeing someone walk for the first time — alone; and positioning with so many pillows. Miss Scranton Clinical Instructor REHABILITATION CENTER 47 PfM£ME£ R, WWEN ? ' X It has been said that life is just a bowl of cherries. Dur- ing the course of a three year training period we can all re- member those special little moments when it felt as though someone trampled in our bowl. As we sit back and reminisce, we can remember when — Bonnie collected the pitch- er from isolation; Shirl was caught with two desserts; Helen fell over a bedside cab- inet while serving dinner trays in the dark; Chebink was Miss America and Santa with a crack in his pants; Stacey told her rheumatism joke at Rehab; Camie and her group were in their P.J. ' s at the Hot Shoppc; Mary Ellen flooded the washroom; Frenchie took pride in a cer- tain prep; Stoker was found soaking in tea; Bobbie ' s fish tank took a big splash (on the floor); Judy ' s foot got caught in a waste can on 11-7; Anita calling for Trettle when up- set; Smerke opened the hop- per too soon; Strelk ' s eye- lashes got caught in the curler; Connie in Bruce ' s car vs the policeman; Sandee tried to get her pin from someone scrubbed in the O.R.; Cookie burned memories in her trash can; Ellie with chattering teeth and her stubborn win- dow; Stef was the center of friendly persuasion at group therapy at E.P.P.I.; Jan had a white beard on fourth floor for Christmas spirit; Dottie fished Connie ' s toothbrush from the toilet with a string; Marlcne tiptoed through the tulips after the Christmas party; Kerper dumped a basin on a certain doctor ' s trousers; Carolyn thought that cough- ing was a special procedure; Houser came in in an excep- tionally happy mood, laughing at herself; Pattie got her wings; Mrs. Gibson found the skele- ton in the closet and a cat in someone ' s room; and Dr. Blaker always managed to get the lousy loop and stool specimens were hard to come by. Will we ever forget — the black and white ceiling; the Senior Christmas party; the marriage of the cats in Anat- omy; the alarm clock parade the night of the chemistry final; mattresses in the lounge; camping out on the roof with a spotlight for atmosphere; singing before classes; field trips in Pedi.; the fun we had in Sports Club; Christmas 48 caroling at E. P.P.I. ; twisting in the halls; the lady in the tub; making Christmas can- dles; the new heating system being put in when we were on 11-7; the parties before New- man Club; frozen fish bowls in the winter; dropping Pepsi bottles over Mrs. Hoover ' s ceiling; watching horror mov- ies on the late show and no one would sleep alone; when we initiated the Freshmen. Remember — Stacie ' s and Anita ' s hike to the zoo with only seven cents between them for bus fare back; Strelk ' s turtle; Frenchie and the cookie sale; saving cracked eggs for Herhal ' s Easter egg tree; the car running out of gas on the expressway; the first time we were aunts; Cookie caught on the second floor ledge of the building with a screen that wouldn ' t go in; Carolyn caught on the roof of the entrance shaking a mop; Judy ' s window blowing out and rain blowing in; Mary Ellen and the Chicken Pox; Marty getting the wrong address for babysitting; San- dee telling a doctor in the O.R. to sniff; Connie slipping on stool in the nursery; Helen getting her foot caught in a grate at the convention; Mary Pat and the Kona Kai; Stoke getting caught barefooted in the halls; Ellie and her park- ing warnings; Camie ' s purple wash; Dottie and her sore feet and Pa. sign from the convention; Smerke was beg- ging for I.V. tips; Bobbie didn ' t say I ' ll never tell Stef made a bed upside down Sandee neglected her fish Shirley had no cards, went to bed early, and had a neat room; Mary Ellen was Santa Claus in our Christmas skit; Jan was taking twist lessons; Stacey took her History course. Always remember — Dr. Godshall and the food fad- dists; peanut butter and jelly sandwiches; water battles in the hall; our first holiday away from home; no uniforms from the laundry; ward conferences; roast beef q.o.d.; window washers while you were dress- ing; Christmas time in the dorm; people hiding in your closets; pixie haircuts; the spaghetti dinner; jokes; hair- nets; clean shoes and laces; white sheets (so much nicer than the yellow ones!); they need someone to work 3-11 ; moving to the third floor; sen- ior classes (are you prepared for a disaster); senior semi- nars; the prom; and last but not least, graduation. These are the things we will remember as a class and as individuals, and they are probably incidents we will re- call with a smile and a glad heart. We wish to bequeath our memories to everyone; our bill for the toilet paper for the snowman to the Juniors; and lastly, we bequeath our double black bands to next year ' s Seniors with the hopes that they all may receive their black bands and whites next year, too, thus fulfilling their chosen vocation. 49 How We Have Eileen Andre Mary Ellen Buczkowski Helen Bauder C.

The members of this council have proved reliable and efficient and are under the expert supervision of Miss Wallack and Miss Swick. This year, in addition to having dances, two or three raffles, an Easter flower sale, a bake sale, a full length movie, and several student body fun nights, we catered a spaghetti dinner for the staff doctors and had a Parent-Student Day, which was the biggest event of the year. Other highlights of the year were sending two girls to the S.N. A. P. State Con- vention in the fall of the year and two girls to the National Student Nurse ' s Con- vention in the Spring. Interest in S.N. A. P. became more enthusiastic. We had several members of Student Body serve on different committees for S.N. A. P. and also committees sponsored by other organizations. On May fourth we sponsored the Prom Blue Hawaii held in A.P.H. Music was provided by the Imperials. To end the year a vigorous campaign to nominate and elect new council mem- bers ensued with a formal installation dinner held in July. The primary goals of the council and its advisors were democratic government, better understanding between instructors and students, and the promotion of a loyal interest in the school. The class of ' 62 wishes the Student Council success in all it undertakes in the future. President — C. Corson 1st Vice President — B. Calhoun 2nd Vice President — B. Little Secretary — M.

The paper is produced under the super- vision of the Senior Class and includes gossip about the three classes, an editorial on varied subjects, and an occasional joke or poem. This is a worthwhile proj- ect and we are in hopes that the Seniors next year will keep the ball rolling. Editor, B. Smerke; Co-Editor, B. Felton; Staff members, P. Black, E. Kandle, A. Trettle, J.

P. meetings, which are held once a month at different nursing schools where they discuss the many problems in nursing and other varied subjects. They also have fun meetings — a hat show, white elephant sale, dances, and last but not least, a yearly conven- tion. S.N.A.P. Representatives are — C. Allen, J. Foster, K. Shellenberger, L. Jordan, F. Fisher. ART SERVICE SQUAD The Art Service Squad is responsible for the multicolored posters seen around campus. Whenever a special event is held, this committee puts their heads to- gether and comes up with art work as never seen before. Thanks for a job well done! The committee is composed of the following — B. Houser, B. Strouse, L. Jordan, J. Jones. 61 ! ' ' flcorjaiLtoao Sports Club Ski Wit I ' TEAM: H. Strelkus, B. Calhoun, E. Falkowski, B. Smerke, C.

The team was defeated in all their games, but they were com- mended for good sportsmanship and ended the season by gal- lantly defeating the Alumnae. They were enthusiastically sup- ported by the cheerleaders who took third place in the league cheerleading contest. Other ac- tivities included a Halloween Party, baseball games, and bowl- ing. 62 Candid Camera _U3 63 As the years go by, there will be many events, which occurred during our three years of training, for us to look back upon with fond memory. Among the most important of these events will be our Senior Prom, held on May 4th, 1962, in the lobby of Ann Preston Hall. We will remember the theme Blue Hawaii, and the very realistic Hawaiian setting resulting from many hours of hard work by the Junior Class, as well as the appropriate refreshments of pineapple provided by the Freshman Class. We will never forget our gracious Queen of the Prom, Miss Dorothy Herhal, and her court consisting of Janeth Kreiss, Anastasia Lashefsky, Connie Corson, and Beattie Houser. We were proud to have these girls chosen to represent us, the Senior Class. As we remember dancing to the music of The Im- perials, with our favorite dates, many of us will remember that this was the last prom we had the pleasure of attending. For those of us, and indeed for all of us, our Senior Prom will be remembered as an unforgettable experience and an en- joyable event. 64 65 Graduation On June 1st, 1962, our graduation was held at Penn Charter Auditorium. This was the day we had been waiting for since we entered training. As underclassmen, we attended the graduations with mixed feelings; happiness for our schoolmates ' achievements; sadness because they were leaving; and impatience for our own graduation. As we graduated, our feel- ings were also mixed. This meant the completion of our strivings to become nurses, but, also the end of a phase of life which had become dear to us all. With happiness far outweighing our feelings of sadness, we went forward to receive our diplomas. I - ' f ; ' V - 66 rci 4UM Tl i f ■I 67 ] AW il ' « i § Class of 1962 Our Gracious God and Father, we stand, this one brief moment apart; apart from all that has gone before and all that lies ahead. Behind us stand parents and in- structors who have patiently and lovingly offered us their knowledge. For them we are humbly grateful. Behind us lie mistakes and failures; from them we have learned. Behind us, successes; from them we take confidence and courage. Before us, an unknown way; for this we ask help and guidance. We ask for wisdom to dis- tinguish right from wrong. We ask for courage and faith. We ask for endurance when there seems to be no way out, no way on. We ask — but may we also give. May we develop our talents fully and use our knowledge wisely. May we undertake impossible tasks and complete them. May we serve mankind. May we fulfill Thy highest ambitions for us. We stand this moment apart. Be with us, and keep us together though apart. Be with us, til we meet again. 68 Compliments of The Nurses ' Alumnae Association of the Hospital of the Woman ' s Medical College of Pennsylvania GOLD PATRONS Doris M. Archie, R.N. William H.
