€ f iUU D OSTEOPATHIC HOSPITAL OF PHILADELPHIA SCHOOL OF NURSING FOREWORD WE, THE CLASS OF 1938, PRESENT THIS ANNUAL, the CRANIUM, TO PRESERVE THE CHERISHED MEMORIES, HAPPY INCIDENTS, AND FINE TRADITIONS OF OUR TRAINING SCHOOL LIFE; MEMORIES THAT WILL BECOME GLORIFIED IN THE GOLDEN LIGHT OF ADVANCING YEARS; TO PRO- VIDE IDEALS WHICH WILL TOWER LIKE MOUN- TAIN PEAKS ABOVE THE VICISSITUDES OF LIFE. All the world s a stage. Ana all the men ana women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts. His act being seven ages. At first the infant. Mewling and puking in the nurse s arms. And then the whining school boy, with his satchel. And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover. Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress ' eyebrow. Then a soldier. Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard. Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel. Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon s mouth. And then the justice. In fair round belly with good capon lin d. With eyes severe, and beard of formal cut. Full of wise sa ' ws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper d pantaloon. With spectacles on nose and pouch on side. His youthful hose well sav d, a world too wide For his shrunk shank: and his big manly voice. Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all. That ends this strange, eventful history. Is second childishness and mere oblivion. Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. As You Like It ' WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE 4] He M. Si r, R.N. To you, Avho, by your charm, grace and humanity, have won the hearts of all student nurses at the Osteo- pathic Hospital, who has lent dignity, zest, and inspira- tion to our training by your own obvious pleasure in it, who has warmed our hearts and smoothed our ways continually by your fine friendship and wisdom, we, the Class of 1958, with sincere admiration and affection, dedicate this Cranium. [5] A MESSAGE TO THE GRADUATING CLASS To those who grasp the opportunities that come successively to all. hfe is but a joyful journey, because one never quite arrives-- whatever the success achieved— but continues to travel hopefully on. As Robert Louis Stevenson has said, To travel hopefully is better than to arrive. The joy of living is in ever ' day s work and play. May you, the members of the Class of 1958, continue to travel hopefully on, prepared for service and finding the durable satisfaction of life in your work. Margaret C. Peeler, R.N. 6] Margaret C. Peeler, Ph.B., R.N. Directress of Nursing 7 Edgar O. Holden. A.B.. D.O. Superinieuaent From time to time letters reacK my desk expressing appreciation of services rendered and treatment received in our Hospital. Not a few of sucK m issives refer specificalfy to tfie thorough and wholesome attention, the warmth and the personal touches experienced in the hands of our nurses. When a patient enters the Hospital he is, of course, apprehensive but, at the same time, he is certain that he is as safe as it is humanly possible to make him. He gives those to whom his case is entrusted his complete confidence. He trusts his physician to carefully study his disability and to prescribe the treatment which will help nature restore the health balance. When an interne gives him a treatment or when a nurse gives him medicine he does not question the propriety of it, whatever it may be. He takes it for granted that it is that which was ordered and that it is given in the manner prescribed. If he is taken to surgery he literally stakes his life on his faith in the entire staff. He trusts the nurses to be alert and competent, to see that the surgeon is not placed under any handicap by inexpert help. I sometimes wonder whether, in the hum-drum or, on the other hand, in the rush of affairs, we are able to fully realize the perspective of the patient in the picture. It is reasonable to assume that the patient will be more impressed with the hotel feature of the service than the professional side because he is more familiar with it than with the intricacies of modern hospital equipment and the advanced practices of modern medicine. And so it follows that he is very apt to judge a hospital by the comfort of the bed occupied, the quality of the food served and the interest shown in his well-being by those with whom he comes in direct contact. It is with respect to the latter angle that I am pleased to pay tribute to our nurses. They are fulfilling effectively a prime consideration in the hospital-patient relationship. In many respects a grasp of the social and ethical requirements on the part of the nurse transcends in importance her technical or scientific understanding of a case. Native ability, early training, instincts, cultural attainments, all go to equip the good nurse for her duties. It is a source of satisfaction to those charged with the administration of the Osteopathic Hospital of Philadelphia to be in a position to estimate to a fair degree, and better yet to commend it, the very fine service that the nurses in this Institution are rendering in behalf of suffering humanity.

Booivs could De vritten aoout this subject and not exhaust its possibilities. How many times have I had patients exclaim: Please let me keep my nurse for a while longer. She has meant so much to me. Ward patients are also keenly alive to the benefits of kindliness and good care. It is an axiom of the theatrical profession that the play must go on and it does go on regardless of the feelings or dispositions of the characters in the play. Likewise you must carry on regardless of your own reactions. Some patients are so easy to care for; others, well, the less said the better. How ever, the profession of nursing demands not only kindliness, vith gentleness, but also tact. Volumes could be written about tact. It is a hall-mark of good taste, delicacy, refinement, elegance and lastly, grace. It will get you further than any other attribute. To obtain it requires patience, a sense of propor- tion and certainly a genuine interest in people. Most people respond sooner or later to suggestion. It is just as easy to make a tactful one as one which vill give the opposite response. There must be a reason when several members of one family, as vell as their friends, ask for one special nurse. May I suggest then, that you can and should cultivate kindliness, gentleness and last, but not least, tact. Dr. Edward G. Drew. CLASS OF 1958 Graduation means success. Tne goal you placed ahead of you three years ago has been reached. You have prepared your- selves for a noble life ' s work, that of talcing care of suffering humanity. Success is within your grasp; may you attain that end. The Interne Staff wishes to congratulate you on your attain- ment. Your spirit and co-operation has been greatly appreciated. We are proud to point to you as Osteopathic Nurses and know you will preserve that faith. May life look upon you kindly and happiness be yours. M. Carl Frey, D.O., Chief Resident Interne.

With loyalty will I endeavor to aid the physician in his work, and devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care. 54 J J CA ' 1 £«• -). M i|jH Iw j ' ' HG m 4 :«M ' iAflr ' ' ' . ' il .

SCHOOL SONG Tune: Follow the Gleam To Osteopathy we sing Thy praises to the sky. As our Alma Mater dear, We carry the banner high. Hoping, striving, aiming for right. With courage so strong And facing the light With traditions tried and true. Osteopathy! All hail! Edith Law Wesner, Class of ' 35. 58] MOTHER MASTERS How futile it seems to try to express our feelings for this lady who captured a definite part of our hearts. She has made a house into a home, consoled us in the blacKest moments, rejoiced in the bright ones; gave us her most supreme smiles, and has truly been another mother to us. We wish her all the health and happi- ness in the world and hope she will always be with us to mother many more classes to come. 39 CLASS HISTORY Hear Ye! Hear Ye I We, of the Class of ' 38, are about to finisfi our training at the Osteopathic Hospital, perhaps never again to reassemble as a body. Turning our backs, though not our hearts, on all the work and fun and dreaming, we seventeen women face the world. Each has her separate pattern to trace; our history as a class is ended. Since it is fitting that we make some permanent record of these productive years together, we inscribe this history of our class. On September 9, 1933. our Alma Mater gave birth to a new class of twenty- four students. In honor of the occasion, there was a family gathering that night in the Nurses Home, vhere we were introduced to the activities of our new life. How insignificant we felt during those first few months! We learned to step humbly out of the vay when a doctor, supervisor or senior nurse appeared. There was also that queer business of running to bed at ten-thirty when the bell sum- moned us. And those lofty upper classmen! Would we, could we, ever become the exalted beings they were? So great was our doubt that three of our number left training during the nrst two weeks. There was loads of fun, too. The Welcome Party given us by the upper classmen; the dance in honor of freshmen and probies; the Halloween Party and the Amateur Show all helped greatly in making those difficult months of adjust- ment a joy to remember. The most outstanding event of that first year, and the one each of us will recall with deepest feeling, was the very impressive Capping Ceremony held in the Nurses ' Home. There were two spruce trees, one decorated for Christmas, the other with white nurses ' caps. As each name was called, a Senior Nurse removed a cap from the tree and placed it on the probie. At last we were accepted nurses! Twenty girls, wearing the symbol of their profession, walked more proudly than as many new-crowned kings. Even during the Christmas Party which followed, we were deeply conscious of those bits of white perched upon our heads. Christmas dawned, the first that many of us had ever spent away from home. We braced ourselves against knowing home-sickness. We were nurses and must expect to find ourselves far away from home, even at Christmas, if we vould follow the profession we had elected. The carols which we sang in the Hospital that morning took on an added fervor, and helped to dispel the last cobwebs of home- sickness. 60 The CKarity Ball in February, and the First Nurses ' Formal in March, were social events that we will always remember with pleasure. There was httle time to dwell on the glory of such affairs, for exams were upon us with startling suddenness. Commencing with June, vacations started. Our second year began with the arrival of a new class. We were now inter- mediate nurses, far removed in status from these callow probies who regarded us with the same awe we had accorded the intermediate nurses of a ye ar ago. How lofty we felt! How competent! How completely admirable! Though more difficult, our work had grown in interest. We attacked it with a vigor and sureness that proved the extent of our growth in the year left behind. After the election of our class president, we planned to do big things. There was money to be raised for our year book and other senior activities. With this purpose in mind, we gave a dance at the College Auditorium in January. The annual college dances that followed were bright breaks in the routine of our day. The Second Nurses ' Formal which we gave in honor of the seniors was held in March. Acting as hostesses, we took full responsibility for the success of the dance. Another class graduated. At last we were seniors! To tell the truth, we regarded our status with almost as much wonder and awe as the probies accorded it, though we carefully hid this feeling beneath a sophisticatedly professional mien. This was the year for our affiliation at Philadelphia General Hospital. It was the realization of a dream, a milestone in our progress toward becoming well- rounded, efficient nurses. Here our earlier training in old customs and traditions of our profession received its final polish. We absorbed much valuable experience of the kind that is best acquired in a larger hospital. The winter social events were fun provoking, as usual, with that added flavor of homage which we enjoyed as seniors. This year we were busy raising money for our year book. Everyone worked quite hard in making the Variety Show and dance a success. Inspired with the achievement of this affair, we gave a Fashion Show which proved both a financial and social accomplishment. The Third Nurses ' Formal, perhaps the greatest of these, was given in our honor, and we s hall never forget it. The two most important projects of this year were our plans for the year book, and the adoption of a standard ring. Both of these we consider a definite achieve- ment, and a fitting close to our career as a class. We leave regretfully although we have supreme confidence that our successors will carry onward creditably the ideals and standards of our training school. 61 CLASS WILL Know ye, hereby, that we, the members of the Class of Nineteen Thirty-eight, being of sound mind (in so far as we know), and being in full possession of our senses, do this day will and bequeath to those we leave behind us all our worldly belongings, be they necessary or not to the welfare of the training school. We dispose of these aforementioned belongings in the following manner. We therefore beg of those who are favored with bequests, to receive them gratefully, and thank fortune we have deigned to notice them. Clause One: To the chiefs and supervisors of this great institution and all others who have helped to make our training the best time of our lives, we leave our lasting best wishes and gratitude. Clause Two: The Class of 38 wills its conceit to all future classes. Clause Three: Individual Bequests Anderson ' s studiousness to Webster. Birchall s ability- to conquer to Wood. Browne s nonchalance to M. Smith. Clancy s wit to Dickson. Cohalan ' s cockiness to Kinsel. Davis ' s apologies to Thompson. Fidler ' s popularity to Rumney. Green ' s good-naturedness to Rogers. Gosper ' s gracefulness to E. Smith. Gregg s naturalness to O Neil. Miller s confidence to Andrews. Rapp s winning ways to Carlin. Rubinkam ' s smile to Volk. Treacy ' s tactfulness to Crumb. Wescoat s gymnastic ability to Tschudy. Wildenstein ' s absolute abstinence from hurry to Whitaker. Yoder s method to vear red hats to Swords. Special: To any who have not been mentioned, the class bequeaths anything of value which is left after graduation. Lastly, we hereby nominate, constitute, and appoint the Class of ' 39 to be the executors of this, our last will and testament. In witness whereof, we, the Class of ' 38. the above named testators, have hereunto set our hands and seal this si.xteenth day of September, one thousand nine hundred and thirt ' -eight. Signed, sealed, published and declared by the Class of 38, the testators above named, and for our last will and testament in our presence, who, in our presence and at our request, and in presence of each other, have hereunto subscribed our names as attesting witnesses. Signed: Terms expire: Mickey Mouse. 22 A. D. Donald Duck. [621 TO OUR NURSES In the hospitals of our cities, A group of nurses work. Their hours are long ana tiresome. But their duties, never shirlv. Countless patients they must care for Through the week, the month, the year; Everyone who needs attention Gets full measure, never fear. God knows how they suffer From pains, and aches, or something worse; He in heaven watches o er them. Both the patient and the nurse. Anonymous. A NURSE ' S PRAYER Keep us, O God, from pettiness: let us be large in thought, in word, in deed. Let us be done with fault-finding, and leave oft self-seeking. May we put away all pretense and meet each other face to face — without sell-pity and without prejudice. May we never be hasty in judgment and always generous. Let us take time for all things: Make us to grow calm, serene, gentle. Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straightforward and unafraid. Grant that we may realize it is the little things that create differences; that in the big things of life we are at one. And may we strive to touch and to know the great, common human heart of us all, and, O Lord God, let us forget not to be kind.

Needless to say. Betty wondered what her classmates of ' 38 were doing and if. after ten years, they were as happy as she. Suddenly she thought of the Walt Winch- Scope. a recent invention which could give her this information. She hurried to the Captain, who complied with her wishes and soon the scope revealed these interesting details. The Swiss Village Tea Room, found in the Kishacoquillas Valley at the foothills of the Alleghenies, is an inviting place for dining and dancing. Patrons are made welcome by the hostess, Ruth Yoder, who is always attired in the latest creations from Vogue. Telephone operators and telephone concerns have caught the eye of Gene Gregg who. in her leisure time away from her mannequin position, is attempting to learn the secrets of the switch board. At the Women ' s Athletic Club in Chicago, people throng three night s weelcly to observe and well appreciate the athletic feats of the acrobatic nurse, Ethel Wescoat. Thelma Anderson is being faithful to her profession and has for six years been Directress of Nurses at the Maine Memorial Hospital. She is succeeding in keeping the students happy and contented and teaching them the qualifications necessary to a nurse. Florence Green, as you I no v, competed with Martha Raye in a dance known as trucking. As a result of Flo s winning this prize, she is now an outstanding entertainer of the Four Hundred at Arcadia International. Happiness obviously has followed Gert Birchall down through the years, for upon driving past the Fritzsche homestead the same light gleams from her face as in the early courtship. Tired of being a professional woman, Betty Davis is now appearing in Faust at the Metropolitan Opera House. Jane Cohalan and a prominent Osteopathic Surgeon are at present enjoying the atmosphere of the Italian Riviera. From there they will spend the winter at their home in the South Sea Islands. In spite of being an outstanding Obstetrical nurse at Lying-in Hospital, Eleanor Rapp is still finding time to be one of Benny Goodman ' s jitter-bugs. The School of Charm has now employed Jeanne Treacy as an instructress. Her main objection to the position is teaching the children the art of falling grace- fully with the least amount of painful consequences. In the Urological Department of Johns Hopkins, a sleepy-eyed nurse can oft-times be seen assisting efficiently with procedures. With the mere nod of her head. Nurse Dorothy Browne appears to be in dreamland, but in reality she is alert to all that is happening. None other than Lil Rubinkam, two days ago. boarded a transatlantic plane at Roosevelt Field with Reno as her destination. Here she will obtain her third divorce with plans in view to marry a social man of New York City. 68 Touring France with her husband and three sons, Alice Miller is enjoying herself in spite of giving a series of lectures on Nurses Finance. Marian Fidfer believes in seeing America first because since her graduation in ' 38, she has been traveling with her millionaire patient (in her de luxe trailer) visiting the intriguing and educational places of interest in U. S. A. On a Rve-hundred-acre farm in Wayne County, Clara Wildenstein, her husband and three children are furnishing Philadelphia with a large amount of its food supply. She deserves a great deal of credit for her ambition and perseverance in such an undertaKing. Marion Gosper has advanced far in her profession and is now completing her second year interneship at The Blooming Cactus Hospital after a strenuous five- year course in Phoenix, Arizona, studying to be a doctor. The remainder of the voyage was a pleasant one for Betty, which proves that everything comes to those who wait. THE NURSE You can talk about your heroes, And about your hall of fame. Let me tell you of a heroine. By quite another name. She s the one to whom we turn When things are bad— ' Or worse. When our hope is low with pain and woe— We call her in— The Nurse! We look to her to sympathize With our complaints and ills. As with patient smile, and tender hands She administers the pills. She dare not faint, must give first aid Whether morning, noon or night: The gruesome work, she cannot shirk. She ' s got to make it right. She s on the job to welcome life The new-born babe ' s ftrst breath: And she ' s the last to bid farewell, To close the eyes in death.

The business concerns who advertised in this edition have given us a Bnancial boost. Many of our chiefs proved to be our staunch supporters. Mr. Hunter, of E. A. Wright Company, offered much valuable information in the arranging of the Cranium. Last, but not least, I thank the faculty adviser and staff mem- bers for their hard vork. Without all this cooperation, this edition ■ould not have been possible. The Editor.
