The classes consist of the basic sci- ences and English and give the student nurse the necessary background for professional nursing. Not only does the college offer collegiate educationai only does the college offer collegiate educational status to the student nurse, but also a social binding with life outside the hospital. nirocfuciion o OCursin S7 ancf S7S7 Freshman students begin their study of clin- ical nursing with Introduction to Nursing.

Everything during those first few weeks was new and excit- ing; there were many friends to make, mles to learn, and studies to pursue. The Junior Class helped with our orientation to the school with the traditional Rat Day . During this day we wore our hair in many tiny braids, wore our clothes inside- out, and performed according to the dictates of the Junior Class. It was a difficult time for us, but we gained some class unity and together we praised Joyce James who had been named Best Rat. Shortly after our orientation we elected Judy Rickman, Madlyn Culpepper, Paula Odell White, Joyce James, and Gail Grumpier as class officers, and with Mrs. Edwards as our advisor we began our studies in earnest. Although we were attending Frederick College and also take Introduction to Nursing at the hospital campus which was really more than enough to keep us. busy, some of the class still found time to short-sheet a few beds, roil coke bottles in the hall, and throw classmates into the shower. There are some very fond memories we will hold of that freshman year; the times the bus to Frederick broke down, the day Vickie sprouted wings and flew across the bus, the Freder- ick Freshman beanies we wore, bones, muscles, and pigs. The capping ceremony marked the beginning of the second semester. We were so proud to sing the Nightingale Pledge during that impressive ceremony. This did not mark any decrea’se in our study load, however. With nutrition and .nharmacology added to our schedule, we studied hard. As exam time approached, we thought that the end had truly come. However, we did pass, and eagerly awaited the change which would take place during the summer session. Now we were beginning to gain confidence in administering nursing care, and we were ready for the responsibilities which were added. As Juniorsj we chose Madlyn Culpepper, Winnice Boush, Arlene Baines, Carol Rice, Gail Cmmpler, and Pauletter Burch and Mrs. Jackson as our officers and advisor. Then it was autumn, and we went on our psychiatric affiliation. Sykesville will always be surrounded with memories and many stories of Charlie and Freight Train , the mice and the magnificent fall foliage. We concluded this experience with a better understanding of ourselves and others as well. It was Christmas time when we returned home. During the winter, Bertha Harrison was selected as Miss Student Nurse, and the entire class shared the honor bestowed on her. We continued our studies at a rapid pace with Medical-Surgical Nursing III in the spring and IV in the summer. September came and at last we were able to add the coveted black band to the cap and of- ficially enter our senior year. We chose Winnice Boush, Joan Britt, Judy Rickman, Arlene Baines, Gail Cmmpler, Paulette Burch and Mrs. Eadie and Mrs. LaValle to guide us through our senior year. Paulette Burch was elected the Alumnae Queen and Judy Rickman represented our class at the Alumnae Dance. We chose our graduation uniforms, and at the same time we were introduced to Maternal and Child Health. We were awe-struck at the sight of the birth of a baby. We learned the importance of using psychology in pediatrics. The completion of our three-year program was in sight as we began Leadership Skills, Professional Adjustments, and Nursing Seminars. There is always a flurry of activity just before graduation, and ours was no exception. There was the evening we went to the dinner-theater, and then the traditional Par- ent-Daughter Banquet. May 12th brought parents, husbands, and relatives to the Park View Baptist Church to watch as we received the diploma and pin which signify the graduate of Portsmouth General Hospital School of Nursing. There was a feeling of accomplishment mixed with nostalgia as we left the church with the realization that we had passed through a portion of life which could never be re- captured.

Futrell and Director, Mr. D. Huff Miss Harrison, now a senior student nurse, competed and won the title of Miss Student Nurse of Portsmouth General Hospital School of Nursing last spring. She also represented our school at the April district meeting of the Student Nurses Association of Virginia. Miss Harrison, an altogether pleasing person, maintains an above average academic record. In addition, in order to be named Miss Student Nurse, she must: be a member of S.N.A.V., possess an excellent character, and practice good public relations. All contestants composed and delivered a speech on A Better Fu- ture Through Understanding. Miss Harrison stated in her winning speech, If we as student nurses are to have a better future, we must try to completely understand our fellow workers, our patients, and most of all, ourselves.
