HIL Sam For more than eight years Mr. Sammie Nelson, better known as 'fSam',, has been on intimate terms with every classroom, office, and the other buildings used by the school, thus he is well known by the teachers and students. Not only does Sam keep our school and part of our dormitory meticulously clean, but with his powerful hands he moves all heavy articles around the school with rugged skill, yet handles all our china and breakables with protective care. Both faculty and student requests for special assistance have been unfailingly met. Sam has always been a busy, hard-working man. Before coming to Rochester, he and his wife farmed for many years near Pine Island. In 1955 he joined the RMI-I staff as a houseman and in 1960 was assigned to the school. 'CI like my work - I try to keep the school so clean that no student will ever have to apologize for it.', Stunts that cause property damage, how- ever, make his temperature rise. Sam is close to students and understands them, we all are familiar with his cheerful smile and warm HI-Ii . Perhaps it's not unrealistic to conclude that Sam7s homemade brand of discipline and advice often delivered without the knowledge of the faculty has contributed to character building in a few students. During his spare time Sam enjoys Hshing and does carpentry work and gardening around his home. When our school closes in 1970, he plans to retire and move into a new home located on the Mississippi River at Wfabasha. The senior class wishes Sam the best, for all the happiness he has radiated with his smile and gen- uine concern. 'fThank you, Samf' Mary Behnke, 368 In November 1967 Dina O. Bremness, '27 retired from her position of administrator at the Glenwood Community Hospital. She had held that position for 35 years. In 1946-47 she served as president of the Minnesota Hospital Association. She now lives in Florida. Ill-H Graduate Gu-Huthnr Mrs. Harold Dison Ulforma Greenler, '52j is the co-author with Minette Nast Uatebf member zyf the faculgf, Hosjbitalfor Special Surgegz, New Torkj of the 4th edition of Simplified Drugs and Solutions Man- ual for Nurses. Mrs. Dison did the revision of this edition as Minette Nast was unable to do so because of illness. The new manual includes a simplified, thorough review of elementary arithmetic, the interrelation- ships of the metric and apothecary systems, exercises which apply these basics to clinical dosage calcula- tions, and new illustrations which demonstrate the relationships of various types of measurement equipment. A new presentation of the common household utensils which can be used for measure- ments has been added. The paper covered manual is 5M X 8M in size, contains 86 pages, 7 illustrations and costs 82.50 per copy. It was published in March 1968 by C. V. Mosby Company. The first three editions of this manual have been used primarily in Solutions and Dosage courses in Schools of Practical Nursing, however, it has also been adopted as a basic study guide in all types of nursing programs. Mrs. Dison held faculty positions at Methodist- Kahler as an assistant instructor in science, instruc- tor in Chemistry and medical-surgical nursing from 1952 - 1961. She holds a B.A. Degree from Val- paraiso University. Last year Mrs. Disonis first book, entitled An Atlas of Nursing Techniques , was published by C. V. Mosby Company.
