BRYSON A LEADER AND A FRIEND- ONE WHO HAS LABORED FOR ST. LUKE ' S WITH ARDOR AND SUCCESS — TO YOU WE DEDICATE THIS ISSUE OF THE VOYAGEUR LOUIS R. CURTIS Vice President and General Manager if i« Jilt St. Luke ' s Hospital ST. LUKE ' S HOSPITAL was organized on February i8, 1864, and was shortly thereafter opened for the reception and care of the sick poor. From that date to the present, its history presents an unbroken record of continuous service to the community. Its growth represents a development from an original capacity of seven beds to its present total of four hundred beds. At its inception St. Luke ' s Hos- pital was a charitable activity of Grace Church parish, the initiative which led to its organization having originated with the Rev. Clinton Locke, Rector of Grace Church. The Honorable Melville W. Fuller, late Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, was prominently identified with the enterprise, having formulated the original Charter and Articles of Incorporation. The orig- inal Hospital was started in a small frame house, located on State Street near Eldridge Court, now Eighth Street, providing accommodations for seven patients. Dr. Walter Hay was Chief Physician and the nursing staff consisted of two members. The meagre accommodations available in this building very soon became inadequate, necessitating removal to larger quarters. A large brick house on State Street near Roosevelt Road was rented. This provided an in- crease in capacity to a total of eighteen beds. In 1865 Dr. John E. Owens was given control of the medical affairs of the hospital. He remained an active member of the [9] [loj medical staff from that date to 1912, a period of forty-seven years continu- ous service as Attending Surgeon. Upon his retirement from active service, he was appointed Honorary President of the Medical Board and Consulting Surgeon — his name at this date still heading the list of the Medical Board. The first printed list of the Medi- cal Board appeared in 1869. It included the following names well known in the medical traditions of Chicago: Dr. John E. Owens Surgeon in Charge Dr. M. O. Heydock Attending Physician Dr. J. Adams Allen Consulting Physician Dr. Moses Gunn Consulting Surgeon Dr. S. J. Jones Attending Oculist and Aurist Dr. I. N. Danforth Pathologist Dr. W. H. Byford Consulting Accoucheur Dr. W. H. Allport Surgeon Dentist It was these distinguished physi- cians and surgeons that early gave prestige to S t. Luke ' s Hospital and, as time went on, established it as one of the great hospitals of the West. Growth of the institution soon rendered increased accommodations and facilities necessary, and in 1871 there was secured and occupied a large frame building on Indiana Avenue covering a part of the site of the present Hospital. Capacity was increased to thirty-five beds by this move. This wooden structure remained the home of the institu- tion until the year 1882, when, funds having become available through bequests and donations inspired by the excellent work of the Hospital, a new building was begun on adjoin- ing property. This building, which furnished quarters for sixty-five patients, was opened in January, 1885. It is still in use today, con- stituting the oldest of the structures included in the present Hospital. Development now became more rapid. The Training School for Nurses was established in 1887. Through the munificence of Mr. Byron Smith, Mr. Samuel John- stone, Mrs. W. G. Hibbard, Mr. W. H. Getty, Mrs. Frank O. Lowden (nee Miss Florence Pullman) and other friends of the Hospital, con- struction proceeded apace until, ia 1891, the total capacity of the Hos- pital had become increased to one hundred and fifty-two beds. The generous bequest of Mrs. Elizabeth H. Stickney in 1897 provided for construction of the Nurses Training School building. In 1908 Mr. James Henry Smith gave to the Hospital 500,000.00 for the erection of a memorial to his cousin George Smith. With this generous donation was erected the Smith Memorial wing which accommodates one hundred and twenty-seven patients. This building is devoted to the care of private patients. Such profit as is [II] derived from this character of serv- and convalescent clinics, social serv- ice is devoted to the maintenance ice and occupational therapy, of the service wards and laboratories. The Training School for Nurses The latest addition to the Hospital registers annually about two hun- is the Kirkwood wing which was dred students. The Attending Staff opened in 1916, the total capacity has sixty-four members, represent- by this addition being raised to four ing the various medical specialties, hundred patients. Among auxiliary During 1921 nine thousand five activities maintained in connection hundred and thirty-nine patients with charity service are observation were cared for in the Hospital. THE SMITH MEMORIAL [12] NEW BUILDING, INDIANA AVENUE [13] [14] Medical Board T no time in the history of the ijL Hospital has there been a greater spirit of earnestness, a more unselfish desire to serve humanity or a closer co-operation between the management, the nursing staff, and the medical staff than is mani- fested today. There seems to have been born a new spirit, a broadened vision of what the Hospital should mean to the community and to those seeking succor within its portals. The Medical Board grasps this opportunity of expressing their ap- preciation to the Nursing Staff for their helpfulness and their share in giving to our Hospital this broader scope of usefulness. For many years the Trustees, the Medical Board and the Management of the Hospital have recognized the fact that the old building was inade- quate for the Hospital purposes. In spite of this handicap of obsolete buildings the Management has made it possible, at an ever increasing financial loss, for the Medical Staft to render good service to patients. Fortunately, financial help is in- creasing and the building conditions in Chicago are improving so that the long-dreamed-of new Hospital building on the Indiana Avenue site seems about to be realized. It is planned to build here a Hospital equipped for the most scientific medical and surgical work and which will rank as one of the most modern hospitals in the country. Here better service and greater comfort can be afforded ward patients in the con- templated small, sanitary wards; women in moderate circumstances who refuse to enter the Hospital as free patients and yet can not afford to pay the excessive prices necessary to maintain the present rooms, will be met. Practically all our hospital plans for the betterment of service hinge upon more space, modern wards and better equipment. This new hospital building soon to be erected is, therefore, the greatest boon to both the medical and nursing staff. The Training School has main- tained its high standards and has an ever increasing number of young women with broad education seek- ing admittance to the Nurses ' Train- ing School. The training of the nurses has been extended to include training in visiting nursing, in social service, in occupational therapy, and public health. These fields have been enlarged in order that our nurses may be graduated with a well-rounded training, fully equipped to serve their communities as a whole, as well as the individual case. In addition to the regular routine work of the Medical Staff in the [15] various departments of Medicine; Surgery; Gynecology; Obstetrics; Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat; Pathol- ogy, and X-Ray, there have been estabhshed many adjuvants to the regular Hospital service which has extended the usefulness of the work to a marked degree. Many of the medical and surgical services at the Hospital have estab- lished follow-up clinics where dis- charged patients can report back at stated intervals for examination and advice. The effect of their home conditions and occupations upon their physical states are noted and often, through the aid of the Social Service Department, the deleterious conditions are removed. In this way a practical system of preven- tion of new diseases and of recur- rences of the old disease is being developed. For five years St. Luke ' s has had a Social Service Department which has rendered valuable assistance in the homes of our poor patients, has removed many extraneous worries which have tended to delay recovery, and has acted as the friend and adviser of numbers of our patients. Recently this Social Service Depart- ment has been reorganized and ade- quately financed by the Women ' s Board of the Hospital. It is hoped that by co-operating with other relief agencies in the city some service can be rendered to every ward patient. It is the ideal of the Hospital, aided by its Social Service Department, to see that every ward patient is cured of his ailment as far as is humanly possible; is placed in the best environment possible to fully convalesce, and, finally, is su- pervised until he again becomes a useful economic unity of society, be- fore the interest of the Hospital in the patient is relinquished. The Occupational Therapy De- partment of the Hospital is render- ing valuable service in securing this maximum restoration of our pa- tients. It is ably abetted in this effort by the Physiotherapy work now conducted in the wards. Plans and Ideals for Future Work Few institutions in the country community of the land, setting up have the opportunity of perpetuating standards which they have been their usefulness and of influencing taught, is equally fundamental work the health and well-being of the of the hospital. It behooves the nation that is afforded hospitals, hospital, therefore, to develop the The immediate care of the sick and highest of standards and to see to injured is their primary work, but it that these young men and women the training of thousands of nurses are given the best possible training, and internes who go out into every This, in a word, typifies the ideal of [i6] St. Luke ' s Hospital. In meeting this ideal the patients will naturally receive the very best of care. Today an out-patient dispensary is recognized as one of the most essential features of a comprehensive hospital service. Many patients could become out-patients earlier if there was a dispensary which would attend to their future treatments. The logical place for such a dis- pensary is in connection with the hospital where the original treat- ment was given. Furthermore, this dispensary would afford a suitable means of following up patients after they left the hospital. It should be open every night with some member of the staff in attendance in order that those who must work could receive its benefits with the least economic loss. One of the greatest needs, not only for St. Luke ' s, but for all hospitals in Chicago, is an adequate con- valescent center. A great many chronic cases are held in the hos- pital simply because their home environment is not suitable for con- valescence. The hospital could be freed of this burden and the patient would recover more rapidly, if a well organized convalescent center was provided. With a better understanding of the needs of the hospital and with an ever increasing co-operation be- tween the Medical Board, and with all striving earnestly and unselfishly for these ideals of service, these plans for the future of St. Luke ' s will be made possible. The Board desires to offer its active co-operation in any forward movement along these lines that the Nurses and Training School may inaugurate. [17] [i8] [22] ST.

Wrigley, Jr. [24] MRS. WILLIAM L. BAUM President of the Woman ' ' s Boa?-d [25] The Woman ' s Board THE Woman ' s Board of St. Luke ' s Hospital was organized to supplement the work of the officers and nurses in the Hospital. In order that the best results pos- sible might be obtained various committees were formed to carry out this project. A Linen Committee solicits linen of all kinds for use in the Hospital and Training School, and also ar- ranges with the churches in the di- ocese to have sewing done by the various guilds in connection with the churches. In this way it is possible to have many thousands of articles made each year. The Social Service Committee, since its formation in 1915, has extended its activities to include many new departments besides the regular office work. This is main- tained by trained Social Service workers and a stenographer. There are also two pupil nurses on duty who are given training in this depart- ment. This work enables the nurse to specialize in Social Service work, if she so desires, after the conclusion of her training as a nurse. In connection with the Social Service Department free clinics are maintained for the treatment of former or prospective hospital pa- tients; they are comprised of the medical, prenatal, gynecological and orthopedic patients as well as smaller clinics for throat, nose, skin, etc. The Social Service workers, nurses-in-training, and volunteer workers, secured by the Woman ' s Board, help with the dressings and records of these patients and do follow-up work. In connection with this follow-up work the Woman ' s Board has organized a Motor Corps to assist the nurses in visiting out- side patients. The women who drive the cars report on certain days of the week for orders which include return- ing patients to their homes, taking invalids on outings, and bringing patients to the clinics, or taking the nurses to visit the patients. In connection with the Social Service Department there is a Cloth- ing Committee. This Committee endeavors to keep the department supplied with clothes of every kind for distribution to needy patients. The Elizabeth Wallace Waller Loan Fund has been established by Mrs. John Borden in memory of her mother. This money is available for loans to deserving patients in order to assist them in purchasing artificial limbs or appliances, and in helping them financially in any way that might relieve their anxiety and expedite their recovery. This money is loaned at the discretion of the Director of the Department and is [26] to be paid back at the convenience of the borrower. The Fund is kept up to a certain amount by Mrs. Borden, and is of the greatest assist- ance in emergencies arising in Social Service work. The Woman ' s Board has also established an Occupational Therapy Department, with a trained teacher in charge. Junior nurses are given training in this department as oppor- tunity permits. This work is of great importance and helps very materially in the cure of many cases where the period of convalescence can be shortened by interest in work of some description. Knitting, car- pentry, basket-weaving, leather work, wool work, artificial flowers, rug-weaving and many other forms of handicraft are taught to the con- valescing patients. Nurses find the training obtained in this department of great value in private nursing. The Woman ' s Board employs a trained kindergartner for half of each day to conduct a Kindergarten in the ward, which is a great help to the nurses in care of the children. The Delicacies Committee of the Woman ' s Board solicits gifts of preserves, jellies, fruits and other delicacies for distribution to the patients in the wards. At Thanks- giving and Christmas appropriate dinners for everyone in the Hospital are provided by this Committee, and during the Summer gifts of fruit and vegetables are distributed among the nurses and patients. The Emergency Committee of the Woman ' s Board endeavors to meet the needs of the Hospital in the matter of unusual and expensive apparatus which can not always be purchased with the ordinary funds of the Institution. This applies especially to X-Ray and Laboratory apparatus. The Library Committee subscribes for magazines and periodicals which are of interest to the nurses. Stand- ard and modern novels are also provided for the nurses ' sitting-room and for the use of the patients. The Nurses ' Committee of the Hospital arranges for occasional dances for the nurses, and for other entertainments from time to time. This Committee also endeavors to keep the nurses ' rooms in as cheerful a condition as possible, and secures money in order to defray expenses of the nurses ' graduation by arrang- ing for a series of lectures to be given each year in Lent. At the time each class graduates the Committee ar- ranges for the services in church and for the reception to the nurses and their friends which follows. This Committee also gave an entire equip- ment of new china and silver for the nurses ' dining-room, and has just had the nurses ' sitting-room, and rooms for the use of nurses who are ill, redecorated and refurnished. The Committee on Free Beds contributes liberally to the support of free beds and in this way enables the Hospital to care for more tree patients than otherwise would be possible. [27] CHARLES A. WORDELL Superintendent [28] The House Staff BY the time the medical student reaches his senior year he very suddenly is confronted by the enormity of his problem; school associations mean less, fraternity affiliations are secondary, even school spirit begins to wane. He sees, hears, talks of only his three-fold goal, a diploma, a license, an interneship. For many years graduates of the better medical schools have become internes for periods varying from one to two years, to supplement their theoretical with a practical training. For several years past, the interne- ship has ocdlipied a more prominent place because diplomas are withheld by Class A medical schools until the successful com- pletion of the interne year. Consequently, appointments as internes in the better hospitals are sought after with much keener rivalry than ever before. St. Luke ' s Hospital has long held an enviable position from the internes ' stand- point. Men have gone out from withm its walls to all parts of the country and have made good. The wealth of clinical material, the thorough teaching by the members of the Hospital Staff, the rotation place of services, the well equipped and well directed laboratories and the fact that almost every kind of case is admitted to the Hospital, provide a training which equips the young doctor to cope with the problems of the general practitioner and specialist alike. The life of the interne is full of trials and tribulations. His friend is the nurse. He needs help and she supplies it. He tells her his troubles and she listens. He craves sympathy and she gives it. He scolds her and she takes it with good grace. There results a mutual understanding and loyalty which cannot be duplicated in any other profession. For the interne the day begins early and ends late. Whether fat like Wendel, skinny like Ajax, tall like Budge, or short like Quincy, he makes rounds with Tommy, Hal, King Arthur, or Hoppie ; assists at operations; writes histories; makes physicals ; fabricates case-notes; does preps ; slings plaster; puts on splints; adjusts braces; moves patients; answers emergency calls; listens to tales of woe; argues with the laboratory over a white count; is caught eating in the pantries; and, incidentally, while doing the above, walks from six to ten miles. Then, when about lo p. M. his tete-a-tete with some night nurse is cruelly ended by one Miss Gooch, he adjourns to the quarters for a sociable little game of roodles only to be again interrupted by Pansy with a case in 4W, or by the clerk with an accident or card to sign. This goes on, day in and day out. But the interne is a philosopher. He argues that even if he is to the hospital what the devil is to the printing office, there have been some mighty fine devils before him. Among them, now members of the Attending Staff, or frequently seen in the Hospital, are the following: Doctors Frank Cary, John L. Porter. Joseph Brenneman, Thomas H. Lewis, C. W. Hopkins, James G. Campbell, William L. Wilson, Wilham B. Fisk, Robert J. Gay, R. W. Morris, H. B. Thomas, N. C. Gilbert, Arthur B. Supple, Walter H. Theobald, Philip Lewin, Robert Newman, W. S. Gibson, Lewis H. Morill, Lawrence H. Mayers, W. H. Byford, George Karl Fenn, W. H. Hazlett, Bryed Wilson, Frank G. Murphy, John Mitchell, H. O. Jones, Will L. Lyon, Theodore L. Hansen, Harold A. Bachman, Carl V. Shipley, B. R. Johnson, G. F. Hibbert. [29] GEORGE Deming Wright was born at Huron, Ohio, in 1857, of Scotch, EngHsh and French ancestry. Two years principal of the High School, Corunna, Mich. One year in charge of building St. Paul ' s Church, Corunna. Ordained at St. James ' s Church, Sagi- naw, Mich., June, 1885. Five years assistant at St. John ' s, one year in Morgan Park. Seven years in charge of cathedral of Ss. Peter and Paul, Chi- cago. Father Wright is now in his twenty-third year as resident chaplain of St. Luke ' s Hospital, where his in- fluence is of great value in the training of young women as student nurses. REV. GEORGE D. WRIGHT Mrs. Herchmer was born in Toron- to Township, Ontario, Canada, in 1853. In 1893 she came to St. Luke ' s to assume special duties in the Hospital Office. After six years in this capacity Mrs. Herchmer was appointed Hos- pital Housekeeper, a position she has now held for twenty-eight years. Many nurses have graduated in this time and each has a very deep feeling of re- spect for her. Some, who were priv- ileged to become warm friends, never think of St. Luke ' s without remember- ing Mrs. Herchmer. The internes, too, share the same feeling of respect for the little woman who with Father Wright presides in their dining room. MRS.

N., Class iSgj NO more interesting and fascinat- ing opportunity can possibly have been given to any alumna of our school than the privilege which has been given the writer, to watch over a long period of years the organization and development of our Alumnae Association. It ' s a far cry from 1864 (fifty-eight years), when St. Luke ' s Hospital opened over on 8th and State streets with seven beds and two nurses, to the splendid institution with a large-bed capacity, and a Training School graduating an average of sixty students a year. It is interesting as well as profitable for our younger groups to know something of the love and devotion of our pioneers. In 1887 the first class graduated (thirty-four years ago). In 1889 The Association of the Blue Cross was organized for the students and graduates. As soon as a probationer was accepted she be- came a member of the Blue Cross. Those members were admitted, with a very beautiful and impressive ceremony. I remember well the day that I was admitted, January 26, 1893. The badge of the Association is a Latin cross worked in blue and worn on the left sleeve and is still used as the School insignia. The con- stitution says, The object of the Association is: (i) to care for sick nurses, (2) to raise the standard of the school, and (3) for mutual encourage- ment and sympathy. In 1896 the graduate group numbered one hun- dred twenty-one. These graduates formed an Alumnae Association and absorbed the Blue Cross Association. The new Association ' s constitution says — This organization shall be known as the Alumnae Association of St. Luke ' s Hospital School for Nurses. The object of the Associa- tion shall be mutual help and the up- holding of higher standards of nurs- ing; to promote social intercourse and good fellowship among St. Luke ' s graduates and to extend aid to those who are sick and in trouble. In 1898 the Association was incor- porated. The original papers of the incorporation are signed by Annie [55] l yrne, 1H94; Emily Wallace Rob- ertson, 1888; and Harriet Fulmer, 1895. Approximately one thousand nurses have graduated from the school since 1887. The Alumnae Association in its early period was a popular institution and every gradu- ate felt it obligatory to join. For some reason the membership has been for some years from two hun- dred and fifty to three hundred, old groups dropping out, offsetting the new members. In the old days, the members worked hard for the gen- eral good of the Association. They planned all sorts of ways and means for increasing our treasury, and, through good report and evil report, we stuck together. I often wonder as I look back over these long splendid years if there ever was a group of women who love each other as St. Luke ' s nurses do. It has always seemed to me to be something more than just Graduates of the Same School. We have traditions in our school, and Alumnae of a no mean order, and as we older ones fall by the wayside it is such a joy to see the younger ones carrying on the torch. I think the work of securing our benefit fund was a most interest- ing thing. It has been known from time to time by different names. When we took over the Blue Cross we inherited a partially endowed room in the Hospital; but the plan of endowing a room in perpetuity be- came burdensome and impractical and it was abandoned. Some of our good friends gave us several hun- dred dollars, provided we would raise a like sum and in this effort we suc- ceeded. Our treasury now has nearly 15,000.00 and with this we may some time be able to give greater service, not only to our own graduates but to the wider and more far-reach- ing service of our whole profession. I can see now a long line of nurses benefited by St. Luke ' s Alumnae — Scholarship in Columbia — by a stated sum yearly to the wonderful American Nurses ' Relief Fund, per- haps over a period of years as a Memorial to Miss Johnston ' . We have never missed a chance to help the sick and weary of our own num- ber and this has brought the Asso- ciation the love and gratitude of many. How many, we must total up some day. The nation-wide organiza- tion — The American Nurses Asso- ciation — is made up of the State organizations; the State organiza- tion of the district organizations, and the district of the Alumnae associa- tions form an enormous circle, nearly 100,000 nurses. It should give us all a sense of comradeship and power to belong to this great group. We shall get out of it just what we put into it. Like every other investment we make, St. Luke ' s Alumnae Asso- ciation should mean everything to the graduates of St. Luke ' s and as our Alumnae, so the whole National body. A chain is no stronger than its weakest link. Let ' s have no weak links in our Alumnae. Let ' s go!

B. Peterson I hate to be a kicker and generally stand for peace, but the wheel that does the squeaking is the wheel that gets the grease Pat [62] EWARE! OF gloves for Dr. McArthur — number 8, Of Dr. Pierce when Theobald is late. When wearing brown shoes or patent leather pumps, When riding in the Elevator for all its awful bumps. When going to the D. K. and finding Fritchell in, Of using spirits frum when the doctor orders gin. Of playing the Victrola when the class room ' s being used, Remember, many privileges are often much abused! Of keeping probies overtime, insist upon their going. When on nights, display your busy work when you want to do your sewing. When eating in the pantry especially on the floors, Miss Drake is always passing thru those double swinging-doors. Of Pansy ' s little wrist watch that goes ticking on her arm. She stares at its face so often it ' s almost an alarm. Of singing in the corridors in Stickney after nine. You might disturb the officers who listlessly recline. And last of all, but not least of all, beware of Miss Mack ' s cats. They ' ll disturb your sleep with squeaks and shrieks in fifty different sharps and flats. [63] «. ® j ANY times the nurse who seems busiest is merely fussing. It isn ' t your position, but your disposition that makes ) ou happy or unhappy. Shorten the day ' s mile by prefixing an s to it. The nurse who shows off least usually shows up best. Some people look for microbes even in the milk of human kindness. A pessimist is a pill who is seasick during the entire voyage of life. If you suspect a nurse, don ' t accept her, if you accept her, don ' t suspect her. Only imbeciles want credit for the achievements of their ancestors. Make the most of yourselves for that is all there is to you. If you stand up for 3 ourself, others will not sit down on you. If we could stop a grouch as easily as we can stop a laugh, wouldn ' t it help a lot ? I love to watch the rooster crow, he ' s like so many men I know, who brag and bluster, ramp and shout, and beat their manly chests without one single thing to crow about. Not even genius compares with grit, and a man can ' t lose if he will not quit! Life has some plums — Yes, But more prunes. Opportunity calls once at every man ' s door, Hard luck is a whole lot more sociable. [64] [65] Jester Line or Two Brainard (out for Ads): Will you support our Voyageur?

Brainard. Maude Keefe: I feel so sorry for Julius. He is sick. Nurse: Why don ' t you do sometliing for him? Maude: I am. I ' m doing his work. Miss Dilge; You ' nur.=es mvist not dance on the rug in the parlor. Mayme: Why not? Miss Dilge: It ' s not a rag carpet. Are you a doctor? she asked the young man who runs the soda fountain. No ma ' am, he replied, ' I ' m a fizzi- cian. ' ■i: fi He said the doctors all were quacks Who practiced cunning tricks; But when the fever struck him down. He sent for five or six. First Italian: Oh, looka data bird on the rubber plant. Second Ditto: Sure he gutta percha. An old gent entered Dr. Schroeder ' s office and asked: Have you any am- bition? Absently he answered, No, but I have something just as good. Elspeth had a swarm of bees And they, to save their lives. Had to go with her. For Elspeth had the hives. Gordo Willson: I want a husband that is easily pleased. Peg Farrar: Don ' t worry, dear, that ' s the kind you ' ll get. Miss Mack (addressing weeping nurse) : What ' s the trouble? Nurse: Oh, I ' m in the diet kitchen, etc. Miss Mack: I will lend you Timothy for the evening, he is so consoling. Man inquired of Mr. Kennedy, I want to talk to that Sociable Society Lady. T. P. R. [66] THEY put the cover on the Senior Nurses And tried to make them all sit tight. They tried to put the ban on parties And shoo them off to bed each nite. Soon it traveled down to Stickney, And every kind of joy forbid, Even stopped the Victorola ' Cause Aiiss Mack was on the lid. She tried her best to keep us quiet, Watching us with greatest care. Though she insists on ethic classes. She really doesn ' t want us there. She wanders round the 3rd and 4th On rubber heels so still and slow. And when we want to gossip She sticks around and will not go. Of course we ' ve been forced to this conclusion, That the faculty must have their day. This is, ) ou know, an institution. Where we must work and dare not play. Alas, we ' ve heard the tale so often, Em sure we ' ve learned it word and tone; After all this good instruction We could run the place alone. Behold, my friends, what they ' ll accomplish, A school of grind and nurses shy. Who keep their eyes upon their lessons And never see the world go by. Yes, dear friends, there is repentance But our feeling can ' t be hid. They ' ve clamped the lid on Senior Nurses And Miss Mack is on the lid.

We serve everybody. Sit down. Sing of Doctors Short and Tall, M. D. ' s of all descriptions. We sing this song of praise to them Because they write prescriptions. We never heard of such a tale, How those poor probies did wail. They couldn ' t go to parties Because all those Seniors are such Smarties. Jeanette — It ' s better to have loved and lost. Than to have won and then be bossed. : J Miss Moe — Can you have your alumnae notes in by Monday? Miss Gooch— I don ' t know, I ' m not as clever as I am supposed to be. Dr. Schroeder— We have three Mrs. Smith ' s in 4W and they all have one thing in common. Dorothy Sawbridge — How come? Bill — Their ancestors were all blacksmiths. Whenever you ' re angry. Pretend you ' re a bird; And sing just a little, . . i But don ' t say a word. I WAS WRONG There may be virtue in the nurse Who ' s always sure she ' s right, Who ' ll never hear another ' s plan And seek no further light; But I like more the nurse who sings A somewhat different song; Who says, when she has messed up things, I ' m sorry; I was wrong. [73] Dora — This is my beau ' s birthday but I don ' t know what to give him for a present. Julia Mostiller — Give him a book. ' ' D. — But he aheady has a book. J. M. — Give him a box of cigars.

Advise to the Probies Do not worry; eat three square(. ) meals a day; pray that 3 ou get by with anything that you try; be courteous to your seniors; keep your good disposi- tion if this is possible; go fast and don ' t ever sit down; exercise. Maybe there are other thmgs that your special case requires to make you a good nurse, but, my children, these I reckon will give you a good lift. {With due apologies to Abe ' ' ) Nurses of 1922 The lonesomest Elspeth Duncan The strongest Marg Gibbs The leanest Ruth Kirkham The fattest Jo Dinnen The handsomest llV.ttV.

A. Mack [76] The End of the 1922-B WE have been here long together, For the last three years we ' ve braved the weather. We have shared our joys, our tears, our sorrows, And lived each day to greet the morrow. Tomorrow came as has come of old, But for many of us what did it hold? The work was hard, the rebuffs were many. The praises we won were few if any. But nevertheless, there ' s no joy in rest, And we all feel better for having done our best. Now the days of farewell are near at hand, To break the chains of our band. Some will go East and some will go West, Each one to do the thing she likes best. We ' ll remember the fun in our training-school home. We can laugh at the quarrels and spats we have had, And the times we ' ve made up and all been glad. The evenings we ' ve spent in each others ' rooms To drive away sorrow, homesickness and gloom. The feeds we have had And the Lights we ' ve burned out, ■ These things will stay with us Without a doubt. Our three years of work, combined with pleasure, Are now on the homeward stretch. Our hands are calloused, our feet are sore And our brains are fast asleep, But we may be rewarded in a very small measure With a classpin, a sheepskin and maybe an R. N. [77] Anticipation and Realization Say! We girls were certainly queer When we chose nursing to be our career. In catalogues many we turned the pages, To discover a Hospital known for ages, However it chanced to be St. Luke ' s Where nurses had everything — even their ukes. The course sounded fine, the pictures were great, And scarce could we wait to pass thru the iron gate. At last the day came, when in the office we stood. Our knees shaking violently — ' course they would. The clerk looked us over and said turn to your left, His bidding we did, as of our senses bereft. We stood by the door like important guests When lo! and behold, we met Miss Best. To Stickney we followed her rapid pace Until we were breathless and red in the face. Take off your jewelry and comb high your hair, And pin up your collar, so your neck isn ' t bare. Now follow me and ' on duty ' you ' ll be. To Kirkwood or Hibbard or a floor called ' C. ' Then a Headnurse calls you, Probie, come hence! Give baths, scrub tables, take temps, and pass drinks. Till your back feels unjointed and j ou ' re ready to sink. You hang up your apron on your own little nail. Then beat it through the halls like a bird out of jail. Day in and day out it ' s all the same, But we stick to the job because we are game. Who ' s Who in St. Luke ' s Wee winkie Dilgie Runs thru the halls, Upstairs and downstairs And still she never falls; Peeping o ' er the transom Crying thru the lock, Are the nurses all in bed. ' ' It ' s after ten o ' clock. [78] [79] CHRISTIE was chief for ever so long, He watched well and guided the little throng. From little Joe Quincy to big Freddie Schmidt Our dear old Christie made a big hit. Georgie Woodruff is sure a dear, He irrigates eyes and dresses the ear. If he wasn ' t engaged to a sweet little Miss We ' d all be tempted to give him a kiss. Then comes Freddie, so lanky and lean, Ofttimes late and ofF his bean; Nevertheless he ' s a good old scout And a handy man to have about. Then there was Shipley with his long black cigar; He rode around in a Ford Sedan Car. In taking out tonsils he is a whiz And in his profession he sure has riz. Now, B. R. Johnson, he ' s a brick. By big old Johnnie we will always stick; He loved the nurses and the nurses loved him, He liked it best when lights were dim. Bobbie Burns, that little scamp, Each little nursie he tried to vamp. His notes and his dates were quite all right Until he was found out on Christmas night. Some one mentioned Ajax the Great, Who about here now knows his fate. At vamping the ladies, he is very fond, And always managed to get a blonde. Bill Schroeder ' s picture for ever more, ' Twas first on the dresser, then on the floor. Is it Bill that ' s fickle or is it she.? We ' ve often wondered which it could be. Scott M. Budge and his Katydid A frat pin under her apron hid. Some knew about it but would not tell. But everyone wondered when Scotty fell. Jakey Bargan chose his Bob, The student class he dared not rob. The official staff was on the throne. And made quite sure no nurse had flown. [So] There goes Bobbie and his friend the Probe. What has become of his ethical code? Once his choice was the senior class; How he has fallen, alas, alas! His name is Melvin Baken — No, he is not good to eat; But, Girls, he has been taken From his head clear down to his feet. Billy Smith came home one nite Seeing a Dot in every light. But the Dot he looked for, was not to be seen; Where she was I could say, but won ' t spill the beans. Here comes Tubby with his little strut, Trying to get Paddock out of a rut. If he should frown don ' t you care, It ' s only Tubby ' s professional glare. If you want to dance and stay out late. Ask Art Wieland to arrange the date. Sherlock Holmes has nothing on him. When Pansy sleeps and lights are dim. Garner used to be a Quaker Till he got a girl and couldn ' t shake her, But you ought to see him step. Now he ' s got all kinds of pep. Hattleberg, what a name to remember, To learn it took from June to November; And when I found he had a wife, I could not forget it to save my life. I ' m quite a stranger here, you know, And everywhere I seem to go, The nurses call me Figgs or Jiggs, But I ' ll have you know My Name is Biggs. Gibbie had an awful fright When M. B. walked in, all in white. Immaculate from tip to toe, But where on earth did his silk socks go. Ho! James Gough, you ' re the boy we want. Why don ' t you, your frat pin flaunt? Under Fay ' s pillow safe and sound. That is where your pin may be found. Carl Emil Schultz thinks he has Power, Above us all he tries to tower; When he is married and loses his fat, He ' ll find that someone can lay him flat.
