One of those for us here at Presbyterian is Dk. Georce H. Perreway. He has helped us as students in more ways than he or anyone else can see. With his kind heart and deep understanding, he has renewed our faith and determination for the future. Often only a mischievous grin, a joking word of reprimand, or a coke at the corner has been suflicient to carry us through another day. So with a deep apprecia- tion for all he has done for us, we, the senior classes, dedicate this 1950 edition of Crisp 'N Curts to one of the kindest friends we have ever had—our Dr. Perreway. “A friend we will never forget.” es ae Seen ad Mr. J.

After having spent a rather hectic morning sightseeing and running here and there, I decided to see a Broadway play, that afternoon. Later, as I was leaving the theatre, I caught sight of an attractive, well-dressed woman. Gosh, you could have knocked me flat when I recognized Janet Hall. Janet, who had finally landed a doctor, was living out on Long Island having quite a busy time keeping up with all the social functions. At this time, I was “putting on the dog” staying at the Waldorf. As I entered the lobby, I rushed head-long into a cute blonde. All the time she was muttering oaths about how clumsy people were and with a haughty shrug, she stamped out the door. A bell of memory rang in my mind, and without thinking, I rushed after her. I kept thinking, “It can’t be—yet,” and before I knew it, I was face to face with Shirley Wafford. It seemed Shirley was doing quite well nursing rich patients. We gossiped all the way to her apartment. Oh, you now what women will talk about! She was still breaking dozens of men’s hearts and unable to settle for any certain one. Later in the summer, being completely exhausted from the fast, topsy-turvy ways of New York life, I decided to fly to Charlotte for a rest. On a plane, I was very surprised to find myself seated beside Esther Varnadore. Esther was having quite a time, rushing from one disaster to another. She had been with the Red Cross in Europe and was returning home. While in Charlotte, I visited Presbyterian Hospital and reviewed happy memories. As I was hurrying up the walk to the hospital, I was amazed to look up and see a dark-haired girl waving frantically at me and practically hanging from a Third Floor window. Oh, no, that couldn’t be Mary Smith! Rushing up to the room, I found her doing private duty, diligently knitting away, while her patient gasped for breath in an oxygen tent. After chatting with Mary and everyone I knew in the hospital, I dashed over to see the new Nurses’ Home. In the basement, where the classrooms were, I peeked in the doors of the Nursing Arts lab and, oh, it was Inez Haney! Why Inez was always so quiet and sweet, and this woman was screaming to the high heavens and threatening to send the entire preclinical class home. But, surprisingly enough, it was Inez, and I started to speak just as a book whizzed by my head. Whereas, I beat a hasty retreat. I had an invitation from Ann Morehouse to spend a couple of weeks with her, and I was anticipating it greatly. Ann was married (at this time) and dwelled in an adorable rose covered cottage on the outskirts of town. I enjoyed my visit immensely, but Ann’s two red-headed, freckled-face boys were anything but quiet, and almost drove me insane. One afternoon, while trying to cross the Square, during the late afternoon rush, I suddenly found myself almost under the wheels of a beat-up Ford. Jumping up, as best I could, I rushed like mad to bawl the driver out. I almost passed out when I saw a tall, lanky, Public Health nurse getting out of the car and found it to be Dorothy Baucom. She was rushing to get home to a certain—goodness, how I do carry on! Although suffering only from a few bruises and abrasions, I was taken.out to Presbyterian Hospital again. When I saw Beatrice Austin, quiet, brisk, and efhicient, waiting to admit me, I thought my chance for survival was very slim. After chatting a while with her, she told me Estelle Hartsell, now married, was up on the Sixth Floor having her fifth baby. Dashing up to see her and the baby, I wasn’t surprised when I got there, to see that this one, like all the other four, had red hair too. On the bus, returning home, I was startled when the bus came to a sudden stop between Marshville and Wingate. Peering out the window, to see what on earth had happened, I saw sitting on top of a tractor, tearing away in a muddy ditch, none other than Sarah Lee. It seemed she and Warren had stacked away quite a lot of money farming. Well, I left Sarah and her tractor, feeling rather smug. Everyone in my class had done so well, and I was terribly proud to have been one of so fine a group. Now, I’ve told you all about my class. In all seriousness, I’d better tell you that I’m just an office nurse, pounding away at a typewriter day after day here in Rocky Mount, and a dis- appointment to everyone. Still, ten to one, it isn’t so bad, is it?

CLASS PROPHECY OF SEPTEMBER, 1950 Since vacation time for me had arrived, I fortunately found myself among the lucky individuals going on a cruise to South America. I had not realized just how lucky I was in that I was to hear all the news concerning my former classmates. Lots of people said the Aiken-Wolfe Class would “go places’—little did they know! Still seeking further adventure, and wanting to know more about everything, Martha Love and her one and only, Frank, had gotten married, and were on their way to Argentina to settle down and make some more of that stuff called “spendin’ money.” She supplied me with plenty of current news and happenings of our class. It seems that Mary D. Robertson was now helping Zeb to raise chickens and kids in “dear old Shelby, N. C.,” and her former roommate, Mary Harrill and Pete are competing with Zeb and Mary D. as the years go by—‘“chickens and kids,” “chickens and kids”! Eloise Rosser and Stogie have been living in Argentina for two years now. Martha Love said she was overjoyed when she found that they would be neighbors. Betty Lee and Harvey had not been bitten by the “travel bug” and had remained in Charlotte to become one of the leading couples of society. “Susie” Gilbert is head supervisor on one of the floors in a Winston-Salem hospital. Oh yes! “Dink” Hinshaw and Bet Morton had fulfilled their wishes and have founded a clinic for prospective mothers. Note: They got their men first. Helen Freeman is trudging through the mountains of North Carolina, nursing her kin and others while Paul takes care of her offsprings at home. Doris Maness and Sally McGinn, having been quite busy in their Children’s Clinic in Char- lotte, are very much professional young ladies. Sarah Wolfe, now Mrs. Tommy Buchanan, is modeling in New York. She was discovered by John Powers who was persistent in gaining one more beauty such as she, and Sarah felt that the world could not miss one less nurse—so the modeling profession for her. Martha Lee and Juanita Hillhouse are Foreign Missionaries in China now. Martha tells me that Virginia Williams is the nurse on this cruiser and has been traveling to and fro from the States to South America since we graduated. Nell Albright married one of the psychiatrists at Bellevue and assists him in treating all of his patients. Martha Gilbert has taken her place in society, but in Philadelphia, not in Greensboro, N. C. She and her northern husband are very prominent in Pennsylvania. Virginia Lee and Bette Rae Thomas are still keeping up the good name of Presbyterian Hospital. “Tinky” is now night supervisor and Bette Rae is supervisor in the obstetrical department. This is news for you! Doris Phillips and her Phil are living in Florida and are taking life easy. Ann Langston and Bobby still believe that they are “cheaper by the dozen” and have found that it is even better living on a farm in Matthews, N. C. I hear that Dot Mullins is following in her anesthetist sister's footsteps and is traveling abroad, and Jackie Aiken and Henry are etn in the hills of Kentucky where breads is the latest thing. Dorcas Grice and Jim seem to be aiding in increasing the population of Gastonia. Joyce Black is head supervisor on the third floor at Presbyterian. Polly Richards is helping to expand Rutherford County Hospital. Martha Love and “Yours Truly,’ Chloe Davenport, had a wonderful time reminiscing and looking forward to the sights of South America.

Nineteen preclinical students were standing at the front door of the hospital looking starry-eyed at passing graduate and senior nurses, wondering how long it would take to attain such an honored and respected position. Boldly we went forth with our heads held high and our eyes wide open, eager to grasp all the knowledge we could about this disease-infested world. During this time Sarah Lee managed to get in her well-earned rest and sleep. It was a long, hot summer, but 15 of us survived and received our caps in October. We were then ready for early morning chapel, the long breakfast line, and the glamorous life of hall nursing. With this also came our first Christmas away from home. Not a word was spoken the entire day between any of us, but sad faces and weary hearts told that it had been a milestone in each of our lives. This year also brought forth our domestic interests in the Diet Kitchen and our savage nature in the Operating Room. Spring soon came, and vacations came and passed. Books were put aside for the summer. This year under the guidance of our class president, Ann Morehouse, we were beginning to rub elbows with the medical world. Some of us were even working on night duty. Another year found an enthusiastic June Junior class still bursting with curiosity. The Junior Senior Banquet, Christmas Dance, and an engagement ring! Estelle Hartsell was the first to make the matrimonial decision. After this came the great day in our training—black banding. Remember our trip to Morrow Mountain that was stopped by rain, but not the party. We received our bands to the tune of a piano concerto in a garage. We faced this senior year with some skepticism that maybe we didn’t know “everything.’”’ Esther Varnadore was class president, Janet Hall was president of Secas, Inez Haney was president of the student body, and Ann Morehouse was going steady. Now we were beginning to think “that some day” in June was not too far away. Little groups of serious-minded girls began to drift in Room 107 for long tete-a-tetes and canasta games. There were grave decisions to be made about class superlatives, and how to pass Psychiatry and Professional Adjustments at the same time. Then there was the rustle -of graduating uniforms, state board books, and application blanks. All of these things help to make three years which we shall never forget—friendships, happy times, and sorrows, -but the most important, our training to be nurses. Although in the future we shall all travel different roads, we shall never forget the principles of honor and genuine love for humanity that we learned at Presbyterian. We shall always told dear her ideals and hope that we have helped to preserve them. Inez Haney, Class Historian LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the mighty June Seniors of this honored institution of learning, Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing, having completed our tedious and terrifically tough task unhesitatingly, with no thought of our own preferences and pleasures, sally forth bursting with brilliance, refinement, and various sundry other blessings that come to us as reward for the countless number of hours we diligently labored here. Fully realizing that this senior class is composed of indi- viduals definitely superior to the rest of the human race, we feel obligated to leave with those less fortunate than we, namely, our underclassmen, a list of our outstanding peculiari- ties, characteristics, and mannerisms, which we graciously bestow upon them. We do hope and pray that these upcoming underclassmen are aware of the fact that they can never completely take the places of the present senior class, but we do desire that they try their best to live up to the high, in fact, unsurpassed, standards which we have set. ArticLE [: To THE FacuLTy AND ADMINISTRATION Item 1. To Miss May, Mr. Richardson, and faculty, we express our thanks for their guidance, patience, and untiring efforts in our behalf. Item 2. To the doctors on our staff we leave our many thanks for their patience and understanding during our training period. ArticLeE II: To tHe UNDERCLASSMEN Item 1. To the underclassmen we leave that inevitable feeling of superiority, which only seniors have. Ww Item To the rising seniors we leave our “senior table” with hopes that they won’t have to fight for it. Item 3. To the underclassmen we also leave our love for Presbyterian and we hope that they will enjoy their senior year as much as we have. ArtTICcLE IV: To Vartous INDIVIDUALS Item 1. I, Mary Smith, leave my knitting needles and yarn to Amy Ching or to anyone else who can find the time to use them. Item 2. I, Beatrice Austin, leave my silence and solitude to Doris Lee. Item 3. I, Frances Baker, leave my efficiency and fiery red hair to Libby Mabry. Item 4. I, Shirley Wafford, leave my love of hunting and trapping (men) to Evelyn Alexander, and may she bring home the bacon. Item 5. I, Dorothy Baucom, leave my diligence and quiet ways to Lois Autry. Item 6. I, Ann Morehouse, leave my frank statements as well as my love for one man to Phyllis Lail. I, Inez Haney, will my ability as a leader and hard worker to Jerry Polk. Item 8. I, Sara Lee, will my love for home and henpecking ability to Betty Teeter. NI Item Item 9. I, Estelle Hartsell, will my everlasting happiness and contentment with one man to Sue Carnes. Item 10. We, Esther Varnadore and Janet Hall, being in need of everything we possess at present, make no formal bequest. We, the June Class of 1950, having to the best of our knowledge and ability placed these gifts where they will be most appreciated and where they rightfully belong, do in witness thereof sign, seal, and publish this as our Last Wiil and ‘Testament. JUNE SENIOR CLASS OF 1950 PER JANET Hay SHIRLEY WAFEORD Witnesses: EstHER VARNADORE Frances BAKER CLASS HISTORY OF SEPTEMBER SENIORS September 22, 1947—What a day to remember; and for important reasons. It was on this clear autumn Monday that an eager group of smiling, innocent(?), prospective nurses descended upon Presbyterian. Every bus, train, car, and other vehicle, including the farmer’s mule train, was loaded with us. As we filed into the residence that we were to call home for three years (if we were lucky!), numerous thoughts filled our timid souls: ‘‘Wonder who my roommate will be?’ “Where’s my room?” ... ‘Gee, I wish Mom were here!” But we mustered our courage and faith in “the profession” and continued our passage to the dropping-off place—our rooms! We were thrilled and honored to be welcomed with flowers in our rooms. We didn’t take long to gaze, because we then breezed through a vicious circle of meeting our house-mothers, classmates, being photographed for the next newspaper edition as ‘‘bait’” for future students, and gazing with awe upon those we feared most—senior nurses. Our first meal was one of general confusion. It seems we all trooped to the graduate side and in turn reloaded our trays and trooped to the student side. After firm instruction, it didn’t take us long to learn to make a right turn instead of a left when entering the dining room. The first few days we met the nursing staff, toured the hospital, and grinned our way through our orientation to nursing. Then classes began. We learned what made us tick, what a hard time Florence Nightingale had getting our chosen profession off to a good start, who took care of sick people before we came along, how not to mix chemicals, and how to clean a unit. Our first few hours of drudgery in the hospital made it all seem very futile indeed, but we threw our chins up and took it like angels of mercy should. After endless hours of theory, followed by practical appli- cations of what we considered perfect procedures, the great day finally arrived. On March 12, 1948, we received our caps in the subdued candlelight of the traditional church. For the first time since we had arrived, we felt important. Our first milestone had been reached. Life took a great many changes after capping. In exchange for our caps, we gave our week-ends, but we managed by having a day off through the week. We learned the hospital routines and soon decided we were well on our way to fame and fortune. Eloise Rosser, as our first president, led us through our freshman year. Our first vacations were spent in bed at home with our feet soaking and steaming. We soon learned that such afflic- tions go along with the noble art of nursing. We returned with new zest and zeal to succeed, but this lasted no longer than a week. Our junior year was spent in O.R., O.B., touring the Ortho- pedic Hospital in Gastonia with John Robinson, and every phase of night duty ever imaginable. This second year of our training brought a new thrill for us—the Junior Senior banquet. This brought a new responsibility, so after struggling through the “Stardust Club,’’ we at last secured the necessary funds to honor the seniors with a banquet and dance. By the time the day arrived, we were so exhausted we could hardly wiggle. Doris Maness, our junior president, held us together through our second year trials. After two full years of toil and trouble, the day rolled around when we became seniors. Our black bands were given to us at a feast at Kuester’s. As we happily munched our chicken, we thought back over the months behind us and looked forward to the last year that we faced. Sally McGinn assumed our leadership as our third mile turned. As seniors we charged around the floors like mad and were carefully but firmly instructed in advanced _pro- cedures. Our responsibilities tripled and so did our miseries, but we survived somehow. Robertson, Rosser, Wolfe, Black, and Phillips proved to those of us with less appeal that life can be beautiful, and those rings were beautiful too! Although nursing didn’t prove to be exactly what we thought it to be, we have spent three ex citing years of training. Our days have been happy, some sad, but we have reached our final and most treasured milestone—graduation. With joy and a new hope for the future, we step out into the world to face a new life as angels of mercy in white. VirciniA LEE, Class Historian LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the illustrious graduating class of September, 1950, being fully and soundly possessed of our mental and physical faculties, and in complete knowledge of the fact that the rising seniors could never equal our grand and glorious record as Presbyterian Hospital seniors, do proclaim and ordain this document as the Last Will and Testament of September graduating class of 1950.
