He was a friend of nurses and loyal supporter of nursing education. enior Cfadd .Hifi for I am '!Little Ort , the mascot of the Class of 1953. Whew! Am I glad my job is just about over! It's really been a strenuous job watching over each one of those girls. I don't know if these years have been harder on them or on me. I'll never forget that first day when they arrived here, bags and baggage. I realized then, by the confused and scared looks on their faces, what a job I was in for, shepherding them through three years of nurse's training. The mad scram- ble of registering, looking for rooms and room- mates, and getting settled was relieved for the evening, as they all trooped down to the Recre- ation Room for the Big and Little Sister Party. That was a warm welcome, despite the embar- rassing predicaments some of them endured! This pleasant interlude preceded the gruelling hours of entrance exams on the next day. And talk about books!!! Although the girls were all anxious to start working on the floors, there were a few neces- sary preparationsv that came first, such as prac- ticing bedmaking, baths, and other nursing pro- cedures on each other. But finally came the day when they had a chance to display their newly- acquired talents. I hadn't seen such industrious cleaning of units since the last year at this same time! Then came the morning to give their first baths. Everyone got to class late that morning-after all, they were only allowed two hours to finish one bath. The supervision those poor girls got nearly made nervous wrecks out of them. Christmas Tea, Christmas Party, and then -came Christmas vacation. Oh, happy days! Two weeks without any classes! My little probies have the able pathologist, Dr. Ettl, to thank for the thorough anatomy lesson he gave them one day in january-much to the despair of a couple of girls who had to leave that autopsy room in a hurry! The next stepping-stone was medicines. It was hard at first to remember to read each label three times , and also to give good shots without showing the patients how scared they were, but they all came through with flying colors. Capping was set for February 27. For a few days before that, the probies lived in hopeful anticipation for the moment when they could hear Miss Skanse say We'll be glad to give you your cap. I don't know who were the prouder that night of February 27--the new freshmen or their parents. The addition of a bib, a stripe, and a CAP did much for the morale of the freshmen. Now they felt as though they might become nurses some day. They praised the Lord for bringing them this far through their train- ing days The first girls to go on special services and on night duty were the envy of their classmates. This began in April. From .then on, Diet Kitch- en, Central Supply, Surgery, and Obstetrical Service followed in rapid succession. All the girls survived the first-day qualms of each new service fit really wasn't so bad now, was it?j September, 1951, brought the addition of an- other stripe and more responsibilities, as the new Juniors began to take charge on the P.M. shift. Besides, they were now Big Sisters as the new Probies arrived. Case studies previewed our first affiliation, at Children's Memorial Hospital, commonly known as Kids.,' The Junior-Senior Banquet was held in Feb- ruary. The Juniors enjoyed planning it as much as the Seniors enjoyed being the guests of honor at it. Dr. Kenneth Kantzer from Wheaton Col- lege was the speaker. Then came the momentous day of' March 7. In the midst of much noise and good food, I helped the Juniors celebrate their halfway pital. In June, the Juniors entered into a new phase of their career. This was their Contagious and Psychiatric affiliations at Cook County Hos- pital. This was a rich source of practical expe- rience to round out their nursing career. Ah, finally! That long-awaited third stripe heralded the beginning of the end. That year the new Seniors gave the Christmas party. It seemed about this time that Dan Cupid was working overtime convincing girls that they should take up home nursing. There were quite a few sparkles-on fingers and in eyes. The Class of ,53 undertook a big assignment when they decided to publish a yearbook for the first time in twenty-live years. Everyone entered in wholeheartedly and the Lord greatly blessed this new project. Oh, yes, I'll never forget those nights this spring when I saw the girls bustling around, everyone making sure they had every hair in place-QYou'd think they were getting ready for their first date.j-getting ready for the Junior-Senior Banquet and the Alumni Banquet. The Juniors really put themselves out and showed the Seniors a wonderful time. At the Alumni Banquet the speaker, Eugenia Price, gave the girls some never-to-be-forgotten words, and each one became more conscious that this is really only the beginning. I think I'll take this time to say a special thanks to Esther M. Carlson, for, if it were not for her patience and help, I'm afraid I never could have seen the girls through. She was the one that boosted their morales when they most needed it by giving them parties-and ther- mometers to make them really feel like nurses! Now that finishing day and graduation are drawing closer, I know that the Lord who has been with them throughout training will con- tinue to lead them and guide them in their futures.

Page 51 en for CEM I'0l9 ec? Miss Ida Wolf, certified inspector of the Admis- sion of New Hospitals to the List of the Approved, in Pertussis City, Nevada, passed through the revolv- ing loors of Last Lap Lodge. To her right a frosted glass window bore the inscription, Nursing Office, Lt. Thelma Ziegler, R.N., B.S., and A.C.T.H. Secre- tary. Betty Kolkman ushered her into the office. Betty received her experience as she wrote those 887 letters to Dick. Miss Wipf briskly stated that she wished to in- spect from bottom up. But there is no bottom and there is no top! You see Last Lap Lodge is a Very Page unique hospital in that it is a continuous ten block one-story building. We'll step right out here and catch the trolley for the Admitting Alley, stated Lt. Ziegler. Leona Bell, the able conductor, transported us up swiftly and safely to our destination. A slight rumble was heard and the building trembled just a bit. It was Swanson landing her Ambul-Rambler on the 8-block roof run- way. This land-aircraft is quite unusual in that it will settle on land, water, small space, large space or what have you, and is the means of saving many precious lives. No more X-ray films as we know them. Now Houroscopician Fran Anderson, sketches the pictures in their original colors for permanent records. As they entered the Dog Lab, Miss Wipf noticed Dr. Bland performing delicate surgery on Dr. Ger- non's diabetic cat. First scrub nurse was Ruth And- erson Bland. Joan Carlson, formerly interested in surgery, finds her new work as assistant to Dr. Berge, Chief Pathologist, rather intriguing. Peeking inside the occupational therapy depart- ment we see Betty Greider, and her able assistant, Carol Seal, giving post-polio exercises to the phalange. It 1S taught by removing peanut butter from the roof of the mouth. Hemstitched bedpan covers! Thanks to the tal- ents of Ethel Dyksterhouse, supervisor of sewing, and her equally able assistant, Betty Hedlund. june Carlson is supervisor of Smith-Peterson floor. Every four hours, moans and groans are heard throughout the ward . . . You see, Miss Carlson has an automatic control set at her desk which by merely pressing a button, turns each patient. Mary Malm- strom assists her with this difficult task. Suddenly soothing melodies are heard throughout the halls. It's Judy Foster, the Florence Nightingale of the Hospital. You remember Florence! She was a great Swedish singer. Since there is only one bed pan hopper at one end of the hospital, a conveyor is used to transport the bed pans to and fro. And who is the capable operator of this step-saving system? None other than Ozzie herself! Miss Wipf noticed the oxygen outlets in each room but she did not know the meaning of the second out- let. This was readily explained to be piped-in enemas. And fleets phospate soda at that! They are accurately computed by Mary Lou Russell. A flock of flustered, Hippant freshmen followed Vir- gie Olson to a clinic on Care of the Great Toe Nail! The education course is only 6 months long since nursing is so simple in a well equipped hospital. Clinical Instructor of Professional Adjustments VI is Edna Hamblin. P.A. is such a heavy course because there are so many adjustments to be made. Subjects studied are Barbering, Uniform Inspection. Edu- cation director, Gracie Dahlstrom is doing an excel- lent job. She does not require case studies to be done because of the emotional disturbance which they cause which tends to ulcers. Mrs. Winters, formerly Beth Tate, who has a 52 uw 2 ay .1 '1 eww CMB sr . dn 1 , F 0 fur ,ff -f DMM ,Z MJ f ' lol: ckjowe -2 7 O brood of nine, comes faithfully day in and day out to the nursery to temp and feed the premies. Eigh- teen weeks of nursery experience is a very good recommendation for any nursery nurse. Alice VanderWeel Garver was the proud mother of quadruplets, Ennie, Meenie, Minnie and Joe. WhenWhen asked where Moe was, she said they didn't want no moe. Coming into Pediatrics department we see a bird! A plane? No! It's Adelle Magnuson trying to get Dennis the Menace off the chandelier. Doreen Dun- gan was found running in the opposite direction. Ahead of her was Leo. These two ungrudgingly per- form the duties as chairmen of the cherubs. Suture Center keeps rolling along because of the expert headship of Betty Johnson. Pleasant dreams are insured all their patients by Head Anesthetist, Kay Videen. Instead of snowing them under, she buoys them up with helium, which is her latest anes- thetic. Turning the corner we got a whiff of . . . of . . . an unpleasant odor which came from Nausea Nook. It's the recovery room under the calm and cool direc- tion of Shirley Anderson. Palmquist's Pantry is much in demand. She now supervises Diet Kitchen with the theme, Eat more or die at it. Since you never can really treat disease unless you've experienced it yourself, Joy has gone into the wide field of Dermatology, assisting Dr. McCraney. Mary jane Sension has given up her operatic career to become the wife of the Chief of Staff, Dr. Van Benschoten. Communcable Disease wards are regulated accord- ing to the laws of the Anti-Spit Rules. These rules are originated by Marian Carlson. The EENT department is also well taken care of. Audiograms are done routinely. This is by the sud- den blast of the trombone by expert, Alice Johnson. Usually a hearing aid is recommended immediately following tests-at least until the child can hear once more. Co-partner in the division is Kenny Toren with her seeing-eye Dog. Back to Ziegler's office, Miss Wipf is thrilled over the hospital set-up and the progress which her class- mates are making. But she misses some and asks anxiously after them. One is Elsie Hanson who is married to her Sailor and is now using her nursing on a navy carrier of wounded men. Mildred Butzer is in India supervising a 75-bed hospital. Hiro has returned to Japan to become con- sultant in nursing education. As Miss Wipf left Last Lap Lodge, she knew there would be no delay in putting this wonder hospital with its greater wonder of a staff on the List of the Approved.
