Presbyterian St Lukes Hospital School of Nursing - Alpha Yearbook (Chicago, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 84 of the 1920 volume:

To Miss M. Helena McMillan Our Beloved Principal We, the Graduating Class of 1920, dedicate this, the first volume of our School Annual MR. ALBERT M. DAY President of the Presbyterian Hospital and School for Nurses MR. ASA BACON Superintendent of the Presbyterian Hospital i:fte Jlisitorp of tf t cfjool for JSurs es THE following is an extract from the Presbyterian Hospital Bulletin of January, 1920, in which a very masterful History of the Presbyterian Hospital and the Nurses ' School has been written up by Mrs. David W. Graham: Mrs. Hamill had more than one great interest in her hos- pital work. The establishment of a Nurses ' School had long been desired, but the added financial burden had caused delay. The $40,000.00 necessary for the provision of a suitable home for the nurses was secured, and two houses at the northwest corner of Ashland Avenue and Congress Street were bought. To start this important work the hospital was most fortunate in securing the services of Miss M. Helena McMillan as Principal. Miss McMillan, a graduate of the Illinois Training School for Nurses, brought with her seven years of experience in hospitals at Kingston, Ontario, and Lakeside Hospital, Cleveland, and after seventeen years with us, we are abundantly able to confirm the judgment of the Board of Managers in their choice. Mrs. Hamill early concerned herself with the development of this school, establishing a committee in the Ladies ' Aid, of which she was the chairman, with Mrs. Joseph Matteson as an enthusiastic assistant. Together they arranged the graduating school pin. The new building, the Sprague Home for Nurses, so long needed, was not erected until 1913, and then, through the generosity of the friends of Mr. O. S. A. Sprague, who wished to do him honor, their gift of $100,000.00 was the nucleus which made the building possible. Later the remaining $250,000.00 was contributed by the estate of Mr. Albert A. Sprague, the mortgage of $110,000.00 being lifted by the bequest of Mrs. A. A. Sprague, who died in 1915. Thus stands this beautiful and satis- factory building, a memorial to the two brothers, as the tablets at the entrance tell us. Then, as we enter, on either side of the elevator are seen the tablets to the memory of the two women who gave so much of themselves for others, Mrs. Hamill and Mrs. Matteson, who died in 1908. Neither of the two women who first showed such interest in the nurses lived to see the new home, but their deeds inspired others to like service. The Training School Committee continues with Miss Helen V. Drake as chairman. Her supervision over the needs of the student body makes possible the addition of many a comfort and luxury not otherwise obtainable. To Mrs. Holmes Forsyth is delegated the care of the missionary students and assignment of scholarships; to Mrs. Carl Pfanstiehl, the Y. W. C. A. League, while the other members of the committee, Mrs. Ernest E. Irons, Mrs. William Derby and Mrs. Sidney Starbuck, give valuable aid. A principal with national renown, its comfortable home, its high standard, its eight-hour schedule maintained from the first, its homey atmosphere under the watchful eye of Miss Russell, and Miss Aylward, who provides the fuel for strenuous activity ; its freedom of action within proper limits, the standing of its graduates, our school has acquired a national reputation. Yet more remains to be done. Other scholarships should be founded for post-graduate work, fitting for special forms of pubhc health service, and, above all, an endowment fund should be started that not only the goal already reached shall be main- tained, but that provision be made to meet future demands as they are presented.

Use a first-class training school as a mixer. Add the sweetness of a smile, a little ginger and generous amounts of tact, humor and unselfishness, with plenty of patience. Pour into the mold of womanhood, time with enthusiasm, finish with a cap, and garnish with ambition. The sauce of experience is always an improvement to this recipe, which, if followed closely, should be very success- ful and exceedingly popular.

[24] [25] Windt €btn ' Jf ir t Bap m tfje Wavi ' I T AL, said Uncle Eben one evening in early summer, I ' d yyi bin laid up all winter with a turrible rheumatiz an ' me an ' Hannah ' lowed that when the roads wuz a mite bet- ter I wuz to go to the city to see one of them big guns at the Hospital. When I got there the man in the uffus sed I could hev my choice of goin ' either in a big ward or a small ward. Right there I let him know I ' d made up my mind to be comf ' table and hev the best, so I sez, ' I ' ll hev the big ward regardless of the cost. No small ward fer me. ' The offusser, I guess you ' d call him since he wuz in the offus, smiled an ' saw right away I was a up-to-date man, an ' shrood. He sed if Hannah ' lowed to stay we could hev a sweet of rooms, I guess so we might do light housekeepin ' , but she wun ' t figgerin ' on stayin ' . Sam, thet ward wuz sum big. Bigger ' n my hull new cow barn, an ' the beds all settin ' white an ' straight agin the walls. Soon cum long a good lookin ' nuss, all starched in a white cap an ' apern with a few things hung on her arm. She sets up a screen round my bed. Not these here screens, but white canvas fixin ' s on poles so ' s you couldn ' t see thru ' em. She sed, reel nice an ' chipper, I was to take a bath an ' stay in bed. Thet wuz wun time I wuz insulted an ' let her know it. I sed, real hotly, I knowed I ' d traveled consid ' able distance, but it wuz only Chuesday an ' I ' d tuk my bath last Sat ' day night, reg ' lar. She smiled an ' sed it wuz the rooles of the institooshun, an ' then I wuz to put on ' this. ' ' This ' I ' lowed wuz the coat to an old perjama suit, only they wuz missin ' . I didn ' t make no fuss cuz I knowed how busy wimmen folks be an ' mebbe they ' d been mislaid er sumthin ' . But I saw right off twan ' t goin ' to be the thing fer my rheumaticks. Long cum a young guy in a white coat suit like my bed jacket. He mus ' a hed turrible weak eyes jedgin ' by the siz of the specs he wore. Yes, sur, reg ' lar goggles with big black frames. He wuz awful nice, tho, an ' I felt reel sorry for him. I hed a min ' to speak to him ' bout my perjammas, but I wan ' t layin ' to make trubble. He shuck ban ' s an ' sez, ' Mr. Painter? ' ' Thet ' s me, ' I sez. He wanted to know where I lived an ' my hull career. Then he sed, ' Mr. Painter, what ' s your present complaint? ' I riz up in bed angry, an ' sed, ' Who sed I hed a complaint to make? This is ez fine a institooshun ez I ever hope to be in. Furthermore, I didn ' t cum here to make trubble for no one by complainin ' fust thing. I cum to hev my rheumatiz cured up. ' He wuz reel nice, tho, an ' smiled an ' I cud see he wuz sorry to git me all riled up. He wrote ever ' wunce awhile and sed he wuz writin ' my hist ' ry an ' I felt reel proud to think my name wuz goin ' down thru the ages to cum. I wuz glad I ' d stood fer my rights. It pays to let ' em know you ain ' t so green. He wanted to know all about my wife an ' children an ' if they wuz well. He tuk an awful intrist in us. He asked me if anyone tuk my temperachure an ' I quick reached under my piller an ' felt my watch an ' pocketbook an ' sed that nuthin ' bin takin ' yet an ' I ' d hed my eyes peeled for slickers. He saw right away I wuz used to the sitty. Then he sed, patient-like, with a twinkle in his eye — he sure hed twink- lish eyes fer such weak wuns — ' Hev ye any fever? ' I told him [26] Lor ' no, not with what I hed on. I wuz more hkely to hev a chill. He asked me if I was a drinkin ' man and I told him no, but I smoked consid ' able an ' showed him my pipe. Thet guy wuz a inturn. They wuz a young feller worked round the ward consid ' able. Wore a big white apern. They sure is addicted to wearin ' white there. He wuz a orderly an ' kep ' order in the ward. They only gave me a Httle soup an ' sech fer supper cuz my rheumatiz wuz reel bad. I tuk the bowl an ' drunk it in slow while it wuz hot. I cud see by the smiles on the nusses ' faces they wuz glad I enjoyed it. Thet night I ' lowed to smoke a bit before sleepin ' , so I lit up. Soon cum a nuss an ' sed, cross like, ' You can ' t smoke in here. ' ' Why? ' sez I, calm. ' It ' s agin the rooles, ' she sed. I sed sumthin ' under my breth about the rooles an ' put up my pipe. My feelin ' s wuz hurt, but I wan ' t layin ' to make trubble an ' wuz awful careful whut I did an ' sed on account of it goin ' down in hist ' ry. Once upon a midnight, dreary, under ether, weak and weary, To an operating table grim my senseless hulk they bore; Suddenly there came a ripping, as of one with scissors snipping, Scissors gently, swiftly snipping up my stomach floor; Doctor Beard, and maybe more. Aye, distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak December, And each instrument and weapon thirsted for my ruby gore; Then so closely did they shave me, and with antiseptic lave me, And the blackest pills they gave me, till I raved depraved, and swore; By the lift they slowly raised me to the operating floor. Shoved me in, and closed the door! Then they cut and gouged and hashed me, and they carved and chopped and slashed me, Till they found it, tore it from me, my appendix. Lost Lenore. Doctor, yelled I, Pritha tell me, to this cry my fears impelled me; Tell me truly, doctor, tell me, tell me truly, I implore, Can ' t I have appendicitis as I did in days of yore? Quoth the doctors, Nevermore. Ah, appendix, thou has left me, and thy absence has bereft me, But thy painful pangs I ' ll feel again. Oh, never, nevermore; But perhaps when life has fled me, and the angel host has led me Up to join the heavenly chorus on the shining, shimmering shore. Then perhaps again I ' ll find thee, and once more to me I ' ll bind thee, To the spot which thou departed and I ' ll leave thee never — more. Fair appendix — Lost Lenore — [27] Instructor — What do you know about cells? Nurse — Not very much, Doctor, I ' ve only been in two. Jane Pope (to clerk at Wilson ' s) — Is Mr. Wilson in? Clerk — No, he ' s just gone out for lunch. Jane — Will he be in after lunch? Clerk — No, that ' s what he went out for. , We wonder why Phil Miller has an affinity for Helen Gelten- bort. HERE— A WHIFF— A In the City of Chicago, Near the waters of Lake Michigan — In the building called the Pullman — Is the Russian Tea Room. Here repair the female smokers, ' ' Here repair the male tea drinkers, And the older generation frown and murmur, Bolshevicks ! Bohemians ! Dr. Brerton — Do y ou feel these lumps — enlarged glands — Miss Dunlap? Grace D.— Y-e-s, S-i-r. Dr. B. — Good for you. It ' s more than I can feel. I wonder what was said over at the Sr. ' A ' table. Look at Myra K. blush. Julia Flaathen (while home on a vacation) — Why, listen here, the whole city of Chicago is sick. Mrs. Flaathen— You don ' t mean it? Who told you? Julia — Why, look here, Chicago, 111. IN ANATOMY CLASS Dr. Miller— Give the foetal circulation. Mary Hutt— Why, it starts in the feet. Lend me a collar — I ' ve none to wear. I can ' t wear a low one, for my neck is bare. The high one covers my mole in back, so let me wear it and clear the track. Exit — Grace down the corridor.

Nurses ' School, City of Chicago, County of Cook, State of Illinois, Country of America, surrounded by Cuba on the southeast, Philippines on the southwest, where prohibi- tion reigns not, Mexico directly south, with their human, bull and rooster fights, and good old Canada to the north to shelter us from all north wind that doth blow, being of sound mind and memory and noble, brave and true of character, do hereby, make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament. First — We order and direct that our graduating expenses be paid as soon as shall be convenient after we have received our sheepskins and jewelry; also, we request that when from this world we have flown that our bodies, with the lihes in our hands, be disposed of well; funeral not to exceed $30.00 in cost and the undertaker to have Reverence is our keynote as his motto, and we further ask that those of us desiring to be hung on hooks in Rush be so disposed of. Secondly — We desire and order that our respect for older nurses, our promptness on duty, at classes and in never over- staying late leaves, be carried out by our successors, the classes below us. To the Brown girls (excuse me, Nurses ) we give the benefit of things we have heard told our predecessors and strictly followed by us, in that the cap should be worn on the alabaster brow, not on the axis cylinder, the bands on aprons are IV2 inches, so perchance your fond and doting mothers, in the hopes of seeing you look nice, made then 3 inches instead, it would be wise to practice the art of turning them in to the required width in the presence of White nurses. Now a few things that please the Heads. Always wear either white or one black and one white stocking with your uniform, always at least 12 inches from the ground, and be sure your bibs cross at the scapula, never at the waist hne. Never by any means think of having apron and dress the same length, the tier effect is far more attractive. Another important thing is to chin with all in- ternes, if you know them or know them not, all the same. Thirdly — And touching worldly estate wherewith we were blessed, naturally or acquired, in these our past most well-spent three years, we give, desire and dispose of the same in the following manner: Cora Ayer — Bequeaths her straight footedness. Belle Benedict— Slenderness of figure. Helen Creed — Knowledge of law and war. Zella Cooper — Bashfulness. Ruth Davis — My Go to attitude. Grace Dunlap — My retiring nature. Julia Flaathen — My courage. Ann Fleming — Promptness at class. Florence Forman — My flip ways. Helen Geltenbort— Love of Papa and Mama. Gladys Hall — My curls and complexion. Myra Knickerbocker — Sleepiness. [30] Margaret Kersten — Letting everyone walk over me. Sue Laibe — Interest in Flo Dear. Hannah Madison — My secretiveness. Esther Milbrant — Non-interest in men. Florence McKinnon — Tactfulness. Marian Moore — Permanent wave. Jane Pope — Detachable red hair. Blanche Smith — Class spirit. Tess Schwartz — Pep. Lula Townsend — Pessimistic ideas. Ruth Westerman — My giggle. Minna Whitnell — Prefers to take everything with her. Fourthly — We hereby authorize and empower our herinafter named executors to sell and convey in fee simple absolute all the remainder of our estate proceeds to our beloved Heads and instructors and their heirs forever and forever, share and share alike. ■ And lastly, we do hereby name, nominate, constitute and appoint Attorneys Cohen Flannigan of Chicago, 111., to be the executors of this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills we have made. In witness thereof, we do set our hands hereunto and seal the 1st day of April, 1920, Year of our Lord. _ (Signed) SENIOR A CLASS OF P. H. N. S. Per A. M. Trudgian, Scribe. Witnesses to Attestation : Drawn by Cohen Flannigan. Attorneys for testator. My dear Flo: — It has been such a long time since I last wrote you, but then these have been busy months for me — and no doubt for you, too. And such an age since we last saw each other! But I am thor- oughly consoled by the fact that in August of this year I am truly planning to respond to your kind invitation to visit you in your own little home. How I would love to be there now — it makes me think of ye olden days again. Esther Milbrant and I are here together — I think you knew that, did you not ? 0. S. U. is such a wonderful place really, and we both feel so proud to think that in a few weeks we ' ll be grad- uating again. I remember so well how some of you girls laughed when Esther and I declared our intentions of going back to school after our days at Presbyterian were past. And has our Hospital training helped us ? Well, I guess. Esther is the most popular girl — she just naturally saved a poor Sophomore ' s life last Wednesday when he was hit by a baseball. Nothing serious (I mean quite a minor injury), but Esther changes that bandage at least three time a day since the accident. I have only slightly hinted that Edward might be a little jealous if he knew it, but she assures me that he is very broad-minded concerning such matters. We had a note from Tess Schwartz last week. She certainly seems to be happy— has charge of one of the floors in the new Presbyterian Annex that went up the year after we finished training. I am really almost jealous of her — but then I never was meant to hold such a position, and that is why I never had courage enough to try it. Columbus, Ohio, May 12, 1926. Tess told us heaps of news, too. Myra Knickerbocker sprained her wrist very badly a couple of weeks ago, so went over to the Presby terian to have it attended to. Tess said she had the loveliest room in the house — the Gladys Foster Memorial Room. Myra, you know, has been Superintendent of Durand Hospital ever since Miss Johnson resigned. And Hannah Madison fell dead in love with Red Cross work and is now out in Nebraska doing the most original things. I couldn ' t begin to tell the good she is doing for the Association, but, judging by what Tess tells us, she is certainly getting famous. I well remember how she enjoyed that course in Civics and Philanthropy during her training. Tess said they have had several calls for nurses for the Moore Hospital, Benton, 111. You remember there is where Marion Moore and Jane Pope went immediately after graduating. It has been ages since I last heard from Marion. I know she is busy, though, for I fancy the management of a household is not a joke — what say you? I had the funniest dream about her the other night — an awful jumble about Oolong tea and Bermuda onions. But Jane is the most wonderful correspondent — about every second week there comes the biggest, fattest letter imaginable. She tells me that she has heaps of time to write letters, and to do other things that she really likes to do. You know she has a delightful position in the Hospital of the Scoville School for Girls. And Fifth Avenue has no terrors for her — I beheve she [32] must know every inch of old New York by now. She often sees Helen Creed — Mrs. Jack, you know, since September of 1920. And this is the big surprise, I just know — Ann Fleming, Lula Townsend, Blanche Smith and Belle Benedict have turned their attentions from the field of nursing for a while. You know they all stood by the post so very faithfully through all the heavy epidemics of influenza in the last three years. Last month the four of them took charge of a western ranch. How ' s that for pluck ? They all cannot seem to praise enough the wonderful chmate and joy of living there, and say the howl of coyotes is music to their ears. I hope you won ' t mind, Flo dear, if this is such an awfully rambling note, but Esther is writing a letter to Grace Dunlap and Evelyn Nelson, and she still has the same old habit she always had — namely, asking how to spell words. (But truly I ' d miss it so if she didn ' t ask, because I never know how to spell the particular troublesome word, and it always ends in a double dive for our Webster ' s Revised. ) Grace and Evelyn, you probably know, have fairly revolu- tionized the Surgical and Paediatrics Departments of one of the large eastern hospitals. We never dreamed, did we, that Evelyn would ever have taken such extensive interest in Paediatrics? As for Grace, she is simply in her element. How well I remem- ber the last roof-party we had before we left dear old Presby- terian — and my most vivid recollection is of Grace ' s home-made Blarneys. Another surprise — Ann Trudgian, Ruth Westerman and Helen Geltenbort left last Tuesday for the Philippines, where they are to be employed in a new Government hospital. They were ally happily excited when they left, Tess said, especially Helen, because she said her parents promised to come out to her new country to visit her next month. I think Ruth ' s cheerful disposition and Ann ' s perserverance will get them anywhere. Before they left, Ruth went out to Wyoming to see Margaret Kersten. They have a hospital there and say the fields o f nurs- ing and medicine are unlimited. ' - Gladys Hall and Julia Flaathen have the dearest little apart- ment out in Irving Park. I was there one afternoon while Esther and I were back in Chi. during our Spring vacation. They are both doing public health work and enjoy it immensely. Cora Ayer is a frequent caller there, too. She still has her institu- tional position at Washington Boulevard. Cora said she had a lovely note from Ruth Davis and Minna Whitnell, who are both doing industrial work in San Diego. And in my last note from Edna Holzman (who was) she said the climate in Virginia is wonderful and that you write such newsy notes. Please, Flo, don ' t drive me to jealousy. Zella says they do not care for Elgin any longer, so are going to Boston next Fall. And, 0 Flo, I ' most forgot to tell you I had some of the most wonderful laces sent to me from India last month from — guess whom? — Florence Forman, of course. She enclosed a few snaps of the beautiful Himalayas and of her hospital, too. She cer- tainly knows India like a book. Now, Flo dear, it is getting rather late and Esther and I must dress for dinner — so please do not make me wait too long for your reply. Lovingly, SUE ELIZABETH LAIBE. ] ANDREWS, Shirley Winnipeg, Can. Oh, girls, isn ' t it just wonderful? BAKER, Dorothy Kansas City, Mo. Meeting Miss Brainard is worth three years here.

HUTTON [36] Our Presbyterian Hospital and Training School, of which we are all so proud, have always been not only liberal with its nurses, but also desire to give them every advantage for as broad a course as possible. Thus each individual nurse is enabled to find herself, so to speak, and decide upon that phase of work in which she is most interested and best fitted. Because of the growing demand for Public Health Nurses, our hospital affiliated with the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy April 3, 1919. From two to six nurses have been sent each quarter to take the Public Health Nursing Course. The time is divided about equally between class work at the School of Civics and field work with various organizations in the city. About one month is spent with the United Charities, making investigations and doing case work. About two weeks is spent with each of the following organizations : Visiting Nurses ' Association, Municipal Tuberculosis Society, Infant Wel- fare Society, School Nursing, Rural Nursing, Various Dispen- saries, social service departments of three largest hospitals in the city. Some of our weekly inspection trips were made to Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium, Chicago Commons, Illinois State Hospital, Hull House, various courts. Armour Packing Company. Lectures are given on Local Government, Housing Problems and Industrial Work. Red Cross workers in various fields of nursing lectured and community problems were dis- cussed. These are invaluable because they are the actual ex- periences encountered by nurses who have done the pioneer work in Public Health Nursing. This four months ' course simply gives one a bird ' s-eye view of the Public Health Nursing situation. By spending a short time with each organization one gains a knowledge of the work- ings of each and also understands more clearly the splendid co- operation carried on between them. Having this perspective, one is enabled to choose to much better advantage that phase of PubHc Health Work in which he is most interested. Some of our lecturers during the past year were: Miss Elnora Thompson — Director of PubHc Health Course at School of Civics and Philanthropy, formerly member of R. C. T. B. Commission to Italy. (A Pres Grad.) Miss Westfall — Acting Superintendent of V. N. A., Chicago. Miss Minnie Ahrens — Director Department of Nursing Serv- ice, Central Division, American Red Cross.

We all realize the benefit and importance of an Alumnae Association, so, as soon as eligible, the thing to do is to become a member of the Association and help perpetuate it. If an active member, a resident of Chicago, each member has the opportunity of meeting her friends by attending the regular meetings, which are held the first Tuesday afternoon of every alternate month. After the business meeting there is an informal social gathering. Here friends have the opportunity to meet and discuss items of interest. Programs are arranged so that the members are able to hear the discussion of problems of interest to them. If an inactive member, a non-resident, each member is ad- vised, through the Hospital Bulletin, of the ha ppenings of the Hospital and Training School. The P. H. S. N. Alumnae Association has a list to be proud of. Many members served in this country and overseas during the World War. Many members are women now prominent in the Nursing World. Let our Alumnae Association be the center of interest after our period of training in the same way that our Training School was the center of interest during our period of training. Our Alumnae Association is a monument to our Training School. May you be one of the firm units which forms this monument.

UNIT 13 [50] Cte i:f)irteentf) ®nit Most of the nurses took the oath of allegiance April 2nd, left Chicago over the Pennsylvania Railroad April 3rd, destination unknown. We arrived in Lakewood, N. J., April 6th, and enjoyed a good rest there until April 26th, when we left for New York City. We were located, 106 girls, at the St. Andrews Hotel. We went on board the Leviathan May 21st, sailed out of Hoboken the afternoon of May 22nd. The trip over was wonder- ful. There were three bands on board which took turns playing and we had music every afternoon and evening. The lights were out and everyone in their staterooms early. We were met by a convoy of five destroyers and an aeroplane on the morning of the 28th. We arrived in the Brest harbor at noon, had a sub- marine fight which most of us witnessed, and which we will never forget. Arrived in Brest, 7 p. m.. May 30th, and enjoyed for the first time the beautiful sunset at 9:30. We left Brest June 6th. We occupied a few cars in the middle of a troop train, such funny cars — eight girls in a compartment. When our rations were brought they piled about a dozen long thin loaves of bread in the rack above our heads, rolled eight cans of tomatoes, eight cans of bully beef and a few cans of jam into each compartment, put in a can of water, and we started on our way. We lived in a Haviland china factory. Forty nurses were detached and sent to Paris the 12th of June. On the 17th fifteen were detached and sent to Saraney, and other groups were detached and sent up to the front. On July 19th we re- ceived our first patients, 540 boys, mostly stretcher cases. Then our real work began and we were happy. We took care of American boys only. We started out with 65 beds in a ward and increased the number until each bed was double-decked and close together, with cots down the aisle. We received our orders to come home Valentine morning and were glad and sorry at the same time. Whether to sign up to stay over or to come home v as a big question, and many de- cided each way, but we were all glad a thousand times that we were able to go.

AN OPEEATING ROOM OVERSEAS [52] [53] I [54 ] [55] [56] Our Annual would not be complete without some space de- voted to this organization, which is almost unique in nurses ' training schools. Over five years ago, in the fall of 1914, many of the nurses expressed a desire to help organize a local Y. W. C. A. for the staff members, the graduate nurses and pupil nurses of this hospital. So a petition was sent to the authorities of the school requesting their sanction of this movement. At the first meeting Miss Pearson, National Y. W. C. A. secretary, presided and in her talk reminded the girls that as nurses they had a right to say they were busy, but not too busy to do the things they greatly desired to do. She reminded them that they should be professional, but first of all women. It was sug- gested that this organization have, first, an athletic side ; second, a social side, especially in making the new girls feel one of us; third, a literary side, for the tendency is to neglect our literary interests while in training; and last, but not least in impor- tance, a spiritual side, both for our own sakes and for the sakes of the many people whom we meet in the most critical moments of our lives. Cljkago At four-thirty o ' clock, May 15, 1919, four Presbyterian nurses found themselves at the gate of the Chicago State Hos- pital after a seemingly endless ride on the surface cars. We were greeted by Miss Meecham, Assistant Superintend- ent of Nurses. She gave us to understand that we had been expected some hours earlier. Our instructcions had been to re- Since our organization, the League has grown and made a real place for itself in the life of the school. Its varied meetings have appealed to all types of girls. Among those who have talked to us have been many of the busiest or best known of Chicago ' s citizens. Judge Bartelme, Jane Addams and Miss Bennett have told us something of what is being done to solve the problems of a big city. Reverend Charles Gilkey gave a splendid series on Christian Fundamentals. Several doctors, returned from their work in difl:erent parts of the world, very vividly pictured the need for constructive medical work. At one of the recent meetings a review of H. G. Wells ' latest book, The Undying Fire, aroused considerable interest. Nor has the recreational and athletic side been neglected. Moonlight boat rides on Lake Michigan, picnics at the parks, Hallowe ' en parties and, best of all, the Christmas parties given for the children of the neighborhood form a part of our social program. We feel that the League has a great future and, with the co-operation of each nurse, should become an even more impor- tant factor in the life of the school. tate Jlogpital ' port before dinner, which we understood to mean six o ' clock, but dinner at Dunning is served at noon, so we were late. An hour later we met Miss Sinclair, the Superintendent. We were somewhat astounded by her black uniform and flowing white veil. We found her very cordial, also very Scotch. The ground presented a very attractive appearance to the [57] recent residents of the West Side, being well kept. The trees . were out and with the attractive appearance of the cottage wards, the duck pond and tennis courts, with the country just beyond us, we felt we had a pleasant summer ahead of us. The following day the six of us, there being two nurses from County, who were later than we in reporting, were assigned to duty on the two Receiving Wards, C. W. 18 and C. W. 19. The work was very different from what we had previously done, as there was little actual nursing. We took the tempera- tures for three days of the new patients. These people are kept in bed for one week after admittance, rest being a regular part of their treatment. At the end of the week the patient is given his clothes and taken down to the Day room, where he spends the day. Meals are served in the dining room, and here we made ourselves useful, since many patients had to be forcibly fed. The Day room is a large, light room, containing a piano, straight and rocking chairs and two or three lounges, which the patient soon found were for show and not for use. With the view of making the room more homelike there are many pillows and table runners made by the patients. Growing plants help along with the delusion. The work is all done by the patients, there being details to help in the kitchen, dining room and the dormitories. We were told that this was perfectly proper because occupation is one form of treatment. After two months on these wards, a month each on the men ' s and the women ' s, we were all sent to the Occupational Department for a month. We spent two weeks in the Occupa- tional Building, where we supervised one of three floors — one week on the playground assisting the physical director and one week with one of the workers on the wards. We all enjoyed the playground best of all, I think. Any way, we all received a brilliant coat of sunburn. Following this work we had a week on the women ' s epileptic ward. This was the easiest place we had, our only duties seem- ingly being to play cards, games and talk to the patients. They enjoyed hymns played on the very much out of tune piano, epileptics being very religious. A week on the women ' s violent came next, and such a week as that was ! Sheets formed the only article of apparel and much of the time this was in the discard. These women spent an hour or so each morning and after- noon in a pack or tub. The two attendants in charge of the Hydrotherapy were graduates of the Battle Creek course and we had very good instructions from them in regard to proper procedures. As to our home life: We lived in one wing of the Nurses ' Home, the remainder being occupied by the women attendants and the state graduates who were in charge of the wards. Our rooms were pleasant and we had very good meals, nicely served, in the old Administration building. We had quite a walk from our rooms to the dining room, which we enjoyed on pleasant days, but how we did wish for our tunnel when it rained. We had no place in which to entertain callers except the class room, but we soon learned that company was not en- couraged, although friends from our training schools were re- ceived very cordially. We missed music also, there being no piano or victrola. We had music of a sort which drifted over from the two amusement parks across the street. [58] We found much amusement in the dances and moving pic- ture shows given for the patients. The classes were rather strenuous, several being in the evening — something very new for us. The most interesting fea- ture was the handing in of copied notes once a week to Miss Sinclair. We had two courses in Psychology, one with Miss Sinclair and the other with Mr. Harley of the Children ' s Court. Mr. Harley proved to be the star of lecturers, his pronounced sense of humor making a big hit. There were also lectures on Psychia- try by Dr. Singer, the State Alienist, Psychiatric Nursing, Hydro- therapy, Massage and Occupational Therapy. Altogether we spent a profitable four months, but were we glad to get back to P. H. N. S. ? Just ask any of the four — Lelin Townsend, Ruth Westerman, Esther Milbrant or Helen Creed. BITS OF CHARTING DONE BY SOME OF OUR CLEVEREST NURSES Third Floor: Pt. up and about holding head in hands. Children ' s Ward : Happy during A. M. Crying during B. M. Cheerful during P. M. Fourth Floor: Pt. complains of too much air. A colored patient suffered considerable pain and was unable to sleep. The next morning he was asked if he had had a good night. He replied : Yass ' m, thank you, aftah ah had that anti- septic in mah ahm ah felt much bettah. A patient was suffering with severe pain in the ear. Some- one inquired: Well, what does the doctor say about it? Patient replied feebly: He says I ha ve inflammation of the Escutcheon tubes. A patient was very anxious to secure his clothes that he might go home. After several vain attempts he became some- what angry. However, not entirely discouraged, he asked for them again. The nurse told him it was impossible for her to give them to him without a doctor ' s order. Almost insulted, the man said: I guess my clothes are not diseased? Now that Woman ' s suffrage is passed Women will be Man ' s equal; But, Oh, what a , , Come down For Women. DEFINITION OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE What is mind? No matter. What is matter? No mind. 3Cf)e tomatl) ' £( Hament Presented by John Belderson, PRESBYTERIAN HOSPITAL, Chicago The Nurse she is an awful pest, Can ' t give a guy a moment ' s rest; She always tries to get my goat By stuffing poison down my throat. If I have fever, aches or chills , She does me with Salol pills And Aspirin and Ipecac And paints my gills with Japalac. The torment starts each day at five; She comes to see if I ' m alive, And sticks a thermo in my face, That rod of glass — Carbolic taste. She says it ' s time to take your pulse, sir, And adds, How is your stomach ulcer? I answer, fine, and then she says, We ' ll bury you in three more days, Then turns her back and shakes her kicks. But comes again at half past six. And says, Here, drink this Bismuth milk, ' Twill line your stomach just like silk. At seven bells she brings a tray And says, Be on your milky way; Each hour you take, beginning now, Three tablespoons of ' Oil of Cow. ' At half the hour a powder, too; It must be churned inside of you. She beats it out and home she goes. But others come to bring you woes. At eight o ' clock the new ones start; Each plays her diabolic part. First in the room the Brownie trips With bag and sheets and pillow slips, And rolls me all around the bed Till I get dizzy in the head. She tears the covers from my back And gently chucks them in the sack, And there I lay to shake and freeze And get rheumatics in my knees. She waits until my blood gets cold And then my form she doth enfold With sheets and blankets drawn so tight That I can ' t tell my left from right. Lie still there you, she hoarsely hums Don ' t bat a lash till doctor comes ; And there I lie so meek and vexed And wonder what is coming next. At ten o ' clock it ' s time to feed; A nurse brings in that cherished need. And solemnly she sets it down And casts at me a horrid frown. But ere she has a word to say I ups and grabs that festive tray; But then imagine my surprise — I hardly can believe my eyes — For there my hungry eyes doth greet A dozen grains of cream of wheat Reposing in an earthen bowl. Each teeny grain is icy cold. A sugar bowl is standing by To tantalize my famished eye; A napkin white, a spoon so bright, Complete this most entrancing sight. With gleeful voice I loudly cry, I surely am a lucky guy; On such a meal I ' ll soon get fat, ' Twould make a banquet for a gnat. But quicker than the eye can see I shove those granules into me. Oh! Then I have a strong desire To be just like an auto tire, For auto tires, alack, alas, Get fatter when you feed them gas. And as I lie in pleasant thought Another demon plays her part. For, on her ai-m a basket hung. She comes to carbolate my tongue. Again the rod she makes me bite And gets my pul e and Fahrenheit. [60] Another one brings in a broom And then proceeds to fill the room With various germs and dust and ashes. Which gets into my eyes and lashes. And when her evil work is o ' er Another bounces in the door, And brings some water to my place, And says, Go on and wash your face. I then set out with main and might To satisfy my appetite. First comes six drops of consomme. And then some desecrated whey. Some vacuum cutlets, nicely fried. With scalloped sunbeams on the side. Some fresh air salad, nice and cold. With oxygen en casserole. And then some frozen laughing gas, And ether vapor demi tasse, Cornpletes this most delicious meal, Which after eating makes me feel As if my stomach, in despair. Is glad to have the ulcer there To keep it company all the day And help to pass the time away. The afternoon is likewise spent In terror, anguish and torment. They bum my tongue and pull my hair. And pinch me here and poke me there. And make me cry and make me scream. Then make me drink that hated cream. At four o ' clock, the worst of all, The diet nurse comes down the hall. With tray in hand, so neat and trim. With glasses filled up to the brim With nectar fitted for a king. But nary one to me does bring. She only stops and glances in And looks at me and starts to grin. And then turns quiet from my door And leaves me there to suffer more. And as she beats it down the hall My mouth feels like Niagara Fall. And then I fall back on my cot. My heart is weak, my breath is hot. But not a word of sympathy Comes out to soothe my agony. The more I squirm and groan and squeal The better satisfied they feel. At six o ' clock she comes to me. And says with much solemnity, ! If like a puppy you will beg Perhaps you ' ll get a soft boiled egg. Imagine such an awful shock To come each day at six o ' clock. When I am sure she ' s on the square, I grip the bed and paw the air, And tell her on my bended knees I ' ll do whatever she decrees. Then, having worried me afraid. She gets an egg that ' s long since laid. One that was long in storage kept. Whose feathered mother long has slept. She drops it in a boiling pot. Then takes it out before it ' s hot; She brings it to the fainting boy. Who swallows it with gleeful joy. But just as soon as I revive And show some signs that I ' m alive, Another comes to pay a call With powdered talc and alcohol. She turns me over on my bed And pulls my nightie o ' er my head. Then wets her hands quite thoroughly. And starts to rub it into me. Which makes my poor back smart and ache, I feel my heart will surely break; Then leaves me there to suffer pain Until at nine she comes again. Then my poor soul in anguish deep Resigns itself to peaceful sleep. , But this does not conclude the day, For some more trouble ' s on the way. At one o ' clock a man in jeans Awakens me from sweetest dreams. And then I notice in his hand A tray, a bottle and a pan, And then my heart begins to thump As I observe a rubber pump. He gently lifts me in my crib And round my knees he ties a bib, Then sticks the tube into my mouth And makes the d old thing go south. Then he pumps with might and main And brings that old egg up again. Then when his devilish work is o ' er. He swiftly beats it to the door; My body crumbles in a heap And soon resigns itself to sleep. And peacefully I slumber on Until they start again at dawn. And thus my valued time is spent. And my poor heart, with son-ow bent. Longs for the day when I ' ll be right And I can take a full-sized bite. And not be battered like a rummy With epizoates in my stummy. If ever I am full of pain. They ' ll never get me here again. And if I ' m troubled ' neath the nest With Epegas-tronal distress, At nurses I will shout defiance And take it up with Christian Science. Dedicated to Dr. B. W. Sippy Written by Edwin Leman Published by John Belderson Presbyterian Hospital Chicago — Xmas 1914. [61] IT HAPPENED ON CHILDREN ' S FLOOR Mai to another patient — You all see that one with the brown waist, well, she thinks she wants to be a nurse; the one with the blue skirt — she ' s going to be a nurse ; and the one with the white dress — she is a nurse. Nurse — What do you keep your signal light on all the time for? Patient — I didn ' t turn it on; I just put my gum there. Please, Miss McMillan, may I have an extra late leave? I have a chance to go to the theater. Found on a chart written by H. E. L. on an unusuallv drowsy night: A. M. Spit to lab. Mrs. B — I hear your mother is a patient in the hospital. What is the trouble? Miss A — Oh, she is just here to have her turban fixed. There was a young girl in brown. Who on blue girls did generally frown. Her view of their work Was that they did shirk; On the brown girl all duti es fell down. This same girl then went into blue ; Much work she found always to do. Of brown girls she thought Their duties were naught; ' Twas the blue girl on duty who flew. OUR DAILY ADS Miss E. Mitchell — Shampoo Parlors, sixth floor, Jones.

Here ' s to Miss Drake — the friend of us all — Who has answered to our need and call In giving us a piano and victrola, too, For which beautiful gifts we now thank you. [64] The mere mention of Durand Hospital for Contagious and Infectious Diseases to any nurse who has been there will restore memories, pleasurable and otherwise. The change to a smaller hospital is interesting and enjoy- able, in so far that the nurse is informed as to the condition, treatment and prognosis of each individual case in the hos- pital. Then, too, there is more opportunity for personal observation and acquaintance between the superintending and pupil nurses. The capacity of Durand is sixty-four. The average num- ber of patients is fifty, while the usual number of nurses in attendance is fifteen. The splendid theoretical course on symptoms, technique and treatments used for the various contagious diseases is given by Dr. Weaver and Miss Charlotte Johnson, Superin- tendent of Nurses. Any nurse having had the course of lectures is adequately prepared to care for any communicable disease of the most virulent type. Scarlet fever and diphtheria cases predominate. Very few cases of acute poliomylitis or meningitis are received. Only emergencies of any other infectious or contagious diseases are admitted, thereby lowering the probabilities of cross in- fection, HANNAH MADISON. THOUGHTS OF A BROWNIE Living in a little town is a dog ' s life, but I ' d rather stay here and dog it out than go up to the city and turn wolf, same as some. Did you ever know a Brownie whose feet ache like the headache and whose head ached like she ' d stood on it? IN ANATOMY CLASS— Miss S. — What are the functions of the tonsils ? Miss T. — Give you tonsilitis. Question — Name six muscles. Answer — Two biceps, three triceps, one pictorial. Patient (to nurse) — Please give me the hypo in my leg. Nurse— Why? Patient (indignantly) — Because the pain is there. Miss Cutler (to a new Probie class) — What is irrigation? Probie — Irrigation is artificial rain. Probie — Wanted — a mustard plaster to make us smart. Dr. Webster (to probationer while do- ing a dressing on one of the floors) — Get me another probe. The nurse left the room and returned with one of her classmates. • A PRELIMINARY ' S IDEA OF DIS- COMFORT (a) A collar button has fallen from the back of her collar. (b) Coming from the kitchen — a seed has lodged between her teeth. (c) Shoes which pinch the corn on her left foot and the bunyon on her right foot. (d) In the midst of cleaning a large and very dirty Duty Room she is called to the Ofiice for Acceptance or Re- jection. Nurses going home from work Look in at the college door. They love to catch a student ' s eyi To some ' tis just a bore. Instructor — Do you understand what is meant by the term C. C. ? Student — Yes, it means 128 cu. feet, one cord. [65] When you hit this Institution (Of it ' s kind the very best), And they come to the conclusion That you stay here for a rest, You might as well surrender. Give up the useless strife. You ' ll find I ' m no Pretender When I say, You ' re in for life. They will tag you with a number. Like in a calaboose or jail. And you needn ' t sit and wonder Why you can ' t get out on bail. You might as well surrender, Give up the useless strife. You ' ll find I ' m no Pretender When I say, You ' re in for life. Through the halls of the Pavilion Every night the Policeman walks ; And if you ' re a wise civilian You ' ll respect the gun that talks. So you might as well surrender. Give up the useless strife. You ' ll find I ' m no Pretender When I say, You ' re in for life. You could swear just like a parrot About the things they make you eat — Lettuce, spinach, or a carrot. Baked potato without meat. But you might as well surrender, Give up the useless strife. You ' ll find I ' m no Pretender When I say, You ' re in for life. When the Doctor and the Internes Have gathered round the bed. There ' s not a single thing one learns From the minutes they have read. So you might as well surrender, Give up the useless strife. You ' ll find I ' m no Pretender When I say, You ' re in for life. The Tin Plate Book will get you. And though you loudly shout, You ' ll find no one who ' ll let you Read what it ' s all about — So you might as well surrender, Give up the useless strife. You ' ll find I ' m no Pretender When I say, You ' re in for life. — Catharine Virginia Yost. 68 ] . mm We ' ve taken our days as we ' ve found them, We ' ve done the best that we could. We ' ve worked and we ' ve played; We ' ve danced and we ' ve slaved; ' Now the days of our life here are numbered. We ' ve met folks we ' ve liked, We ' ve met those we ' ve loved, And it hurts when we ' re made to realize That it ' s just a case, as you ' ve oft heard me quote, Of ships that pass in the night. A year, ten years, and where ' ll we be? Scattered to the far ends of the earth. Some we ' ll meet and some we won ' t, here, there or yonder; Bu t when we do, we ' ll gossip and chat. And wonder what ' s happened to this one or that. ' Add your drop to the bucket of news — . . Write back when you ' re married, when you win or lose ; Keep us posted, don ' t drift — Friendships are precious you know. Write back, drop us a line now and then— let the Partings never be more than Adieu. [69] FINISHING BY JUNE 30 Cora Lee Ayer Lincoln, Neb. Belle Benedict Waupaca, Wis. Zella Mae Cooper Baraboo, Wis.
