Left, senior Lorraine Eaton spends extra time reading to her small patient. Many different people from many walks of life have as- sembled at Parkview over the years. All of them, with the common goal of becoming a registered nurse. With the mag- ic initials of RN, after a name there are many different paths in life to choose from, and once again the graduates of Parkview will go their own separate ways. But during those years at Parkview a special type of bond develops between students that lasts longer than three years. Friendship joins students together, but it's more than just that. Students are attracted to each other by their shared triumphs and struggles with school, good and bad clinical experiences, and on a larger scale, by their common aspirations for the future. This attraction is a type of magne- tism that bonds students together as they learn about nurs- ing, each other, and themselves. An attraction that doesn't just stop at the walls of the dorm, but is carried through in individual work and lives. lt's a special feeling that binds classmates together and makes an individual r to be a Parkview graduate. Some may not have realized it yet, but within the walls of Parkview-Methodist School of Nursing there is a special kind of magnetism. As you turn the pages of this book, we hope Q are able to see it shine! MAGNETISM 3

,Z A New' Beginning Left: Decorations such as these adorned most of the rooms on the Freshman floor as big sis' welcomed their incoming little sis'. Below: Apprehension is seen on the face of fresh' man Jill Davis as she approaches the dormitory at English Hall, ragga Above: As seen here, many preparations are made before the nursing students arrive at the Parkview-Methodist School of Nursing. Excitement, anticipation and apprehension were just a few of the feelings that accompanied both the incoming freshmen and returning juniors and seniors to the Parkview4Methodist School of Nursing on the day they moved into the dormi' tory. However, after what seemed like fifty trips of carrying heavy boxes from the car to the dorm, the only feeling felt was one of exhaustion. Slows ly, the carefully packed boxes were emptied as places were found for everything in them. Once the task of unpacking was completed, the next chore was that of making the bed. Hap- pily, some of the freshmen found that this chore had already been completed by their thoughtful big sis. However, for the juniors and seniors, making beds was on their list of things to do. lnterspersed throughout this moving in pro- cess were many welcomed interruptions as fel- low classmates stopped by to say, Hellol Intro- ductions were made for all the freshman students, and new friendships were beginning to form. Old friendships were reaffirmed for the juniors and seniors as they got together to find out what others had done over their summer vacation, All in all, it was a social hour for every- one. After all the unpacking and socializing were finished, each student had a chance to sit back and ponder the upcoming year. There were so many things to be learned. However, it was all somehow made easier with the realization that no one was totally alone. Far left: As freshman Sue Matter soon realized, moving into the dorm is made easier if you enlist the help of your family. MOVING IN 5
