19 5 4 CAP AJSn CHOS ST. LUKE S SCHOOL OF IVITRSIXG CHICAGO . ILLIIVOIS DEDICATED whose friendship, understanding and generosity have encouraged and inspired us. We are most grateful lor the sincere interest they have had in us and lor all they have done to make our training a pleasant and rewarding experience. ■ t Golly, it seemed so easy bringing all ol this stuff into Schweppe— Remember that lirst clay? Strained smiles, palpating hearts, trunks, relatives, coni ' nsion— Coming through ihc big black door at 1500 Indiana, we were greeted by members of our big sister class and taken to meet Mrs. Bell, who graciously welcomed us to oiu- new home. Then we were taken to the Nvitrition lab where smiHng Miss Roberts handed us an ominous appearing stack of books. There was even more coniusion when we arrived in our rooms — silently we wondered, who gets the top bunk, do 1 have to share the closet, and who has the tin dresser? Alter we ' d settled these pro- blems, we were led through a maze of tunnels where we got our first taste of the home cook- ing at the St. Luke ' s Cafe. The next day dawned and all of us crowded onto the elevators, and we went to Main 13 (Can you ever forget those elevator operators?). We immediately liked Miss Molbo who was the epitome of kindness and understanding and soon put us at ease. Then we sat for three days, get- ting our physicals and sizing up our classmates. All too soon classes l)( ' f;;in IicikI.k lies also Ri ' iiu inlx i lu in hil) iiiul ;m;iloiiiy lab? All those discctions? Can you ever lorgc ' t the cal and Icaiiiiiig to |)itlR ' a Irog. Wondcf how our instructors man- aged to sur i e! 1 still don ' t know the dil lei ( lice between the various kinds ol agar, a gram positive or gram negative organism, and please don ' t ask me the origin of the pyramidalis muscle. Nursing Arts classes gave us some idea of the work we would be doing— vhich caused many to turn pale. Did you flunk your first S.A.T. evaluation too? Remem- ber the bed baths, catheterizations, enemas, and horrors the hypos? and how valiently Mrs. Mauksch directed, guided, pushed, urged, bidlied, and ca- joled us through Principles of Nursing Arts ? Her sense of timing was almost perfect. Miss Howie was the cool, calm, collected one with a dry sense of humor and in- sight that was often emberrassing— 1 always used to wash my liands too while I tried to think of what came next. This blunt observation brought a hot red blush to our cheeks. The first time we saw Miss Pettijohn in imiform, we decided she was modeling the Probie cap— but she soon set us straight on that! Miss Comstock had an infectious smile which we were always relieved to see when we got in a tight spot in an evalu- ation. Her smile and quiet encoiuage- ment set many a Probie at ease.

The finals seemed endless and the tension was climbing, Will I pass? What will I do il I don ' t pass? Then suddenly one Friday after- noon we found ourselves in the chapel wearing a precious organdy bonnet— Cap- ping, which had seemed so remote, and come upon us so suddenly that the pass- ing of the FfRST great milestone had an air of unreality. This experience is one of the most precious we have. 10 I lie ol miiciililx (lidii ' l l;isl loii; li()VV( ' (I .

(ilasse.s were heavy, loo— do you lenicni- her the do(tois ' lectures in medical dis- eases? Dr. Roskelley ' s blood dyscrasias were baffling, and Dr. Hedblom always knew just which c[irjstions to ask— the ones we couldn ' t answer! Dr. Meredith, in his pleasant cjuiet way, did his best to help us assimilate the details about heart diseases. A direct deviation from all this was chorus with Mr. Walsh which we fooked forward to each Monday after- noon. In the midst of this some of vis began specialties. First came the D. K. The diabetic cUets always were being changed and nothing was more confusing than the LBRMF with 1 2 , but the diet- icians were so understanding! Remem- ber instructing the clinic patients? I think we learned more than the patients did! Well, at least the D. K. was fairly easy— we should have been more cogni- zant of that fact, for next came the O. R.

Betty AHini still hears Vere you goink, stupid ' - ' ui her dreams of Dr. de Takets. Remenibe working in FOR— we feared Miss Larson but grew to love her before we left gyne, and boy! we knew how instruments were sup- posed to be cleaned and how to set up for a case! We sighed with relief when we were assigned to Main 10 Bronclio rather than scrub in MOR. Winding black silk was a cjuiet way to spend the afternoons but seemed too chdl on those long Sundays. 14 15 Somehow we survived the OR and found f)urselves in OB for a 1-o-n-g siege. It was long. Main 9 was our proving ground for preps and enemas and, sometimes, for precipitates . Where are the fetal heart tones? Tlie quick run for the in- terns and breathlessly waiting. How far is she dilated? — 9cm? Oh, my good- ness!! Where ' s the stretcher? Call anesthesia! (whom you could never find) Call Dr. Beebe! Who gets to scrub? Connie again? Miss Wellington remains in our memories as being breathless froni her c uick dashes between Sm. 5 and M-9. You ' d better check her again— you never can tell! Even the hardest hearted a- mong us experienced a feeling of awe each time we witnessed the miracle of birth. Our month in the newborn nursery was usually a race to keep the mouths fed and the bottoms dry, but it was alwa s fiui. And, Oh, that night when daylight sav- ing time changed back to CST— Bet those mothers are still trying to right the schedule! After the strict routine of OB, Peds was a relaxed surprise. Remember working nights in the nursery and asking How many feeds , and how about pre- cious Httle Jimmy and his ahirost constant pica, Lady, Lady— I ' ve gotta DoDo! How we dreaded the cleft palate repairs- Do not allow the patient to cry! We always hurried with the morning care and 9-10 A.IVl. feeds so that we could have our Nourishment each morning. The chocolate milk and orange juice didn ' t last long with the hungry class of ' 54. We laughed about being playlady ' but underneath our smirks, we enjoyed the loafing! Did anyone ever work as hard as Miss Moss on the busy days?! Form-Lab with Mrs. Schrieber was another favorite spot. While the radio gave forth with good rhythm hundreds of bottles of formula were mixed, bottled and sterili ed— then coffee time! How timidly we ac- cepted the invitation to have coffee with the GRABS! 18 19 Ill tlic Closs ol Cliiisl I j loi y, lowdiii}; o ' er llu ' wrecks ol I iinc; All llic li.t;hl ol s;i(rc{l stoiy (;;itlurs round its luad Mihliinc. When the woes of lil ' c o ' crtakc nic, Hopes deceive and lears annoy, Never shall the Clross forsake me; La), it glows witli peace and joy- When the sini of bliss is beaming, Light and lo ' e upon my way From the Cross the radiance streaming Adds more luster to the day. Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, By the Cross are sanctified; Peace is there that knows no measure, Joys that thro ' all time abide. THE CROSS With what reverence and wonder we carefully embroidered that first precious cross to our left sleeve. Emblem of our Junior year? Yes— and more,— oh, so much more! How could we explain some of the miraculous happenings we had been witness to? The doctors were unable to explain-Our instructors could ofTcr nothing— but most of them gave reference to a Higher Power. Oh fathomless abyss of God ' s rich bounty, of His wisdom, of His kno vledge, Who can explore His decisions? Who can track out His paths? It is in humble recognition of this great Power that we wear the Cross. 21 We left Main 8 with mixed emotions and entered Smith 6 where we were afraid to admit we even had emotions. After the initial introduction to EST ' s, Insulin, and Smith 7, we were a little shaky. But by the second week, we were at ease in nearly all situations. Mrs. Henry and Miss MakoAvski were always on hand if we needed them but never made it obvious— for which avc lo ed them. Remember the hurry to see assignments— the keys.— Who ' s got set 7? ' This is my 12th day in insulin! Senior duties again? Oh, boy, I get Smitlr 7— are the Sox on TV today? Then Dr. Solomon ' s classes— the best and most interesting ol all. Here was anotlier specialty where we had morning nourishments -if this kept up, we ' d soon be lat (or falter). Nights in psych meant rounds each half hour— how we watched those dark cjuiet rooms!! 22 Culling l)r(Mi!_;lit wiili ii ill ' solf inn i ;ilioii ill.

In (liiapel, I ' allier Travis loiulird on our resp(jnsiljiliaes as Seniors. Many kit the Chapel with a new sense of maturity. In Ryerson, Mrs. Bell had arranged a beautiful Tea and we teniporarih laid aside the sobering thoughts to enjov an evening with our laniily and friends. 25 Next in specialties came our affiliation at Contage-MCDH- the building next to the prison , we explained to our family. Believe it or not, the food was worse than Luke ' s. Most of us survived our contact with the contagious diseases without ill effects except for Di-Overand who sprouted out with a beautiful crop of chicken pox. Dr. Spies took charge of her personally! While at Contage, we met girls from several other hospitals and had a chance to compare notes. We felt very proud and fortunate to be from St. Luke ' s! Clinic was the Banker ' s Position of training. Sleep until 7:15 then go to work at 8, rest til 9 then introduce patients to the proper doctors imtil lunch time. The same thing was repeated in the afternoon and at 4 we were able to go off duty and socialize instead of immediately col- lapse and go to sleep! We were soon able to recognize an uncontroll- ed diabetic on sight- (I don ' t eat many grits or potatoes) — and after two weeks in OB-Gyne, we could almost tell at a glance what month she was . Pediatric clinic was vigorous, spontaneous and highly interesting. PPD ' s-Patch tests-Vaccinations, -Shots-Chicken Pox? Horrors! Quick Call con- tagc! Get the rest of the kids out of there! Screams, Shouts, Laughler-we loved it!! 29 And remember VNA with those smart looking coats and chic hats? The wonderlul feeling when it was discovered that the good old staff teacher drove her car on the calls! The crossed eyes and wrinkled brow from penning over city maps and a trusty old street gtiide. The worry about how all 13 kids in a family were going to sleep in one bed; The great day when you b at the supervisor to the first call by a three second margin!— Field trips to ICC, CWD, Ap Clinic and CB of H. The important feeling when yoti were on your own and opening your first new case. Doing dressings, giving hypos, bathing babies, all in the home. Those noon time reports and ota- car-fare and lunch money expense accounts. Thanks for the memories — Oh, my aching feet! 30 With the specialties behind us, wc returned to general duty -which was mostly shitt and nights-usually charge duty. Lillian VanderHagen developed anopsia from working noes so much. Did you ever work shil ' t on Main 14?! The charts with orders would pile up endlessly. Did you ever find a stat order three or four hours after it had been written? And how al)Out getting a Narcotic order at 4 a.m.?? And Smith side-those long corridors. We sure ran our tails off there! 31 Just when things were most hectic, graduation came into sight-we had our pictures taken in borrowed whites, were fitted for our own whites, and began Senior Conferences with Miss Payne. Plans for the future were made —marriage, college, and positions were applied for-here or at other hospitals. Then came the week of Conmiencement activities, beginning with Baccalaureate services when we proudly wore our whites for the fii st time. That was the day of our Senior Breakfast. How nice it was to be ser- ved by the faculty. We all went to the banquet supper given by the Alumnae and were both proud and humble to see so many (400) graduates from earlier years gathered from across the nation. The night of graduation was perhaps our happiest; the hours of dis- couragement and the many times we had wanted to pack up and go home were forgotten as we went up the aisle to receive the coveted diploma and later to receive the warm wishes of our familv and friends. 31 NELDA GRUENER (Bruno) Oh, he makes me so mad!

And rcnumixr Miss .Moiiii,li ion:- elected liei as our (lass .Sponsoi slioitK alter our arrival and her wise (oniuil and guidance were called upon many linu s dur- ing class cri.ses . We were greatly disap- pointed when she had to leave to cf)ntinue her studies but we are grateful lor the on stant friendliness and encouragenien i thai she gave. The pojndar Miss Van agreed to be our advisor during the remainder of our train- ing. She has seen us through many rough spots— often showing more vigor than most of us. We will remember the twinkle in her eye, her beautiful white hair and her lec- tures on Wangensteen Suction. C.G.A. gave us opportunities to air our gripes and the Rules and Regu- lations officers kept tract of proctor marks and infractions. How we liated to find a Notice of Infraction in our box with the accompanying decrease in priv- ileges!— but how embarrassing to be an officer and have to pass an infraction on yourself! Afternoon Tea in Schwcppe with Mrs. Bell serving was a delightful surprise to us as newcomers. It was so nice during a break in classes or coming off duty to relax in Ryerson with a cup of tea and a friend. Many who did not care for tea grew to like it simply because they did not want to miss ihe socializing! 46 e I iMonl: -S. (lai roll. A. (ailiiicl J. FIccT, 1). N(kIU ' . Ha(k:-K. Kilak, I).

Even tho we were through the Probie Period now, we were still the voungest of the family and the arrival of the class of 55 A was attended with all the curiosity and excitement given a new arrival in a family. We quicklv became acquainted, proudly showed them around and tried to impress them vith our vast (?) medical knowledge. And what a wonderful group they were! Sal, Cutic and Dorothv •ere soon identified as the class clowns and Eli, Jean and Judv verc found to be serious and sweet. Margie quickly became the girl with the most dates, Donna became known for her prose and poetry and Eleanor obligingly took things as they came. Genevieve and Barb were a couple of happ -go-luckv kids and Ginny and Carol were quick, active spontaneous souls that kept e eryone auessinsi. 47 ' 55 Bs At the beginning of our Jun- ior year, the class of 55B arrived but it took us a httle longer to o get to know them because they were sucli a large class. How- ever, as they began working with us, we soon decided they were a pretty swell bunch of kids. Back: E. Kuckenbccker, 13. Busch, D. Gaare, E. Thomas, B. Boss, B. Mooncy, M. Weingarten, M Dobslaw.

We were almost Seniors! Where had the time gone so fast? This class as a whole had an appearance of poise and assurance along with the intimacy that marks a small class. As a large class we often wished we could have been as close as this class seemed to be. 49 Back: G. deBoer, M. Burr, M. Hohlfelder, R. Haas, C. Zwick. Front: J. Roiigk, S.

Weeks ahead of time, we were writing letters, anxiously awaiting answers, then excitedly discussing what little we knew about them. After what seemed ages, they finally arrived — look- ing very bewildered and a little overwhelmed. Those of us that could be there to greet them, tucked a little sister under each wing and very proudly went about the business of getting moved in and settled. We never worked that hard on duty but we loved it and wouldn ' t have missed it for the world. Now, they are working on the floors with us. Do you won- der why our chests expand sev- eral inches with each progres- sive step they take? They are our Little Sisters!! R to L: J. Kulasa, L. Runnion, E. Silber, W. Rudkin, P. Bos, J.

At last we are graduates, pro- udly wearing the uniform, cap and pin of St. Luke ' s. Also — these are our last moments as a class. Strange— the bond between us as classmates has never been as strong as it is now, and as we look from one to another, we see the same mixtmc of sorrow and joy- and a struggle to keep back the tears. These are our last moments together and as we part, we know we shall re- member one another with love. Each of our many experiences will be treasined in memory to be brought forth and savored many times in the futiue, but now we meet the future— and its bright challenge. 58 YEARBOOK COMMITTEE Faculty Advisor: 1).
