Labor, watchfulness, perseverance, self-denial, fortitude, are the elements out of which this kind of joy is formed. Garret What are we seeking - happiness? If the end must justify the means - is our means in being useful and contributing to the happiness and welfare of others? Is it in losing self, we gain the most? In our harried lives are we satisfied in yielding to the paths of least resistance - or can we forbear the essence of time to ascend the lofty heights? Wit And Wisdom Are Born With A Man To Mr. Kochersberger, our most versatile teacher of chemistry, microbiology, and anatomy, we, the Class of1956, gratefully dedicate this volume of THE LAMPLIGHTER. Wide knowledge, understanding, and patience are rooted in his lectures which are further enhanced by his most magnetic quality- rare humor. From an explanation OH osmosis to the location of the sella turcica of the sphenoid bone, Mr. Kochersberger wins the esteem and admiration of all his preclinical nursing students. With great pride and affection he will always be our Mr. K. Kindness Is The Sunshine In Which Virtue Grows In Appreciation of your many acts of kindness, your patience when we are slow or uncertain, your willingness to teach us during operations, and your cordial grin and pat on the back when a good job is completed, we, The Class of 1956, sincerely thank you, Dr. Blaisdell. rms TE Place - anywhere help is needed Time - 24 hours a day Dosage - unlimited quantity of help and understan- ding Medication - Pharmacology and Clinical Instruction.

Promoting interest and activity among students has been accomplished in Student Organization this year by a varied program. In the fall of the year provision was made by the hospital to send two delegates for the first time to the New York State Student Nurses' Convention held in Buffalo. Inquiries were made at this time concerning the possibility ofW.C.A. joining the state organization and the results were encouraging. After discussion and correspondence with the state officers of SNANYS, the student body joined the state with a majority of the students. To support the treasury of Student Organization, the biggest asset was the mid- winter bazaar. Bake sales were also highlights of the year. At 7 p. m. in the nurses' home one can hear the shout, The Store's open! The store, which was started in the fall, sells many small articles needed by the students. Perhaps the greatest accomplishment of the year is that the students are no longer restrained--cuff-wise that is! All uniforms ordered in the future will be sent with the cuffs attached to the dress. A modified form of student government was initiated, giving the students oppor- tunity for self discipline. The executive committee of the organization acts as a judicial board. Successful? We think so. 'Sca1pe1, please---whoops, missed! f c M 'M!W'eQf!gw,A A ' 1-..-awnvwki .mn ...ww-M . Hasten, Jason. Get the basin! PECIALTIE I I V L P, - eg 4 4 5 Gotta' see my chiropractor! . 1?

CLASS HISTORY The big decision having been made, we entered nurses' training on September 9, 1953. Most of us were complete strangers to one another and we were coming into a different type of surrotmd- ings from what we had previously known. This, of course, caused considerable confusion and be- wilderment in our young minds. However, after a get-acquainted party and a few days and nights in this strange, new place, we became oriented and fell into the schedules and routines which would characterize the next three years of our lives. Classes, classes, and more classes confronted us for a few months and, gradually we began our clinical experience in thehospitaL The first day in the hospital was a big one and we were very excited because bed-making was on the agenda. That wasn't too bad, but they were checked by the instructors, and that meant there was a strong possibility that we would have to start over from the bottom and make a new bed. Then came the big night after our pre-clinical experience was completed when we would no longer be called Probies, but would be wearing caps and bibs like everyone else. There are numerous incidents to be remembered from this first yearg some of which were humorous, others which were serious and completely opposite. Our evenings were spent studying cartoons and pulling pranks on one another at such times when studying anatomy or chemistry and pulling a dusty book from some remote corner would have been to any observer the wiser choice. The regrets would be heard for miles when grades were forthcoming. On these occasions we could think of more things we simply had to do. These included cleaning drawers, catching up on correspondence, and, of course, pulling pranks on one another. Like the time we carefully selected our patient, a sleeping beauty by nature, and very deftly proceeded to paint her with merthiolate. For those who returned late and were anxious to obtain some precious shut-eye before the early risers started singing in the showers, we would arrange such things as the moving of their furniture, short-sheeting beds, locking doors, hiding belongings, and other things that would detain them. There were others who believed soundly in the old saying, Early to bed, early to rise, We recall one such member whose alarm rang in the wee-small hours of the night, and she found herself completely ready to go on duty at the ghastly hour of 5 a.m. For the past two years, we have not been together as a class, for early in our junior year seven adventuresorne members took their departure to the big city of New York and from that time, one of the five groups into which we were divided has been out on tour - Gowanda, Perrys- berg, Buffalo, New York City and Brooklyn. However, work for the yearbook, class projects, and various class functions had to be carried on. The mysteries and complexities of the first few months of the past three years have now been solved. Let us remember only the worthwhile events and happenings and forget the unpleasant and unimportant incidents. History is comprised of those events which are significant in the past: and now we find our- selves confronted with the future and what is to become history in each of our lives depends upon each of us individually. Jacquelin A. Wood Class Historian PIHIPHECY I Can See It All NowI I As I look down upon the planet, Earth, I can see how many of the prophecies have come true that I foretold ten years ago, Ah, yes, now take fthey won't object, Marilyn Johnsen and Cynthia Rasmussen---head nurses f?J in a midwest nudist colony. Thank goodness they can't don their caps, if you NUDE what I mean? Greenwich Village finds us looking for Evie Birath who at the moment is occupied with sketching muscles for Charles Atlas ads. fAnyone want to see my deltoid etchings?j At last Gret Kehrli has finished her necklace out of solitary diamond engagement rings. Speaking of Sparklers CoraBee Carlson is digging in the drain searching for her third diamond ring. While yet in the Big City I see Irene Parment still cavorting to Welfare Island. fMore etchings?JI I I I At the Marquee on Broadway we find the neon lights blazing the life story of Donna Well- man entitled Still Love'em and Leave'em? Inside the theater we find Mary Cuthbertson murmuring Have I found the right one yet? There she goes, Charlotte Wentworth shopping for a bed and chair. What's the chair for Wentie Worthie?I I What's this I see Miss Baker with a puzzled look on her face scanning a postcard from Oisie Dear alias Lou Radspinner. In Perrysburg Dottie Cohen is singing I've Got Those Coughing Blues, as she is reading the famous colurrm by Lovie Kohler called Watch Your Health and Figure Girls, early to bed and late to rise is her motto. ln the paper I see a picture of Jackie Wood it appears she is fashion nurse of the year and has won a trip to Hawaii. Clella Archer is running the KENNY Foundation something very enjoyable to do so she tells me. Talking of institutions in the Windy City a favorite husband and wife team Goan Ridgwayj are behind bars at Menninger Clinic. As I was looking down upon Busti, I heard through the clouds Joanne Johnson, cupping her hands and yelling, Dar, have the cows come home yet? Then a little further on I spied Annie Lamberson giving Marmaduke a bath. Love my master, love my dogI I I hear a strange knocking, What's that man with a subpoena in his hand, doing at Barb Weiland's door?I I Those unfortunate creatures who must eat will stop into Jan's Qkankinj Spaghetti Palace. If you think R0meo's spaghetti is good, you should try Jan'sI I Poor Joan Sanderlin, still having trouble with her spine. I can hear her yelling now But Dr. Blalsdell, I don't want a spinal. Trying to comfort her is June Burger, who needs the com- forting herself while in surgery. In the delivery room at General, I see Sandie Wheelock, still with no cap. What happened this time Sandie?I I Last but not least in our ever famous class is Tucker. Jan, now a member of the foreign legion, is serving in darkest Africa. Glimpsing at the nurse's home, brings back many nostalgic memories. Ah, for that Cell Block ll and our own number. Das Ist Alles, THE PROPHET we new dogs' man? MEMORIES will long be with us of the joys--and yes, the sorrows which we have shared in the past three years. Although we were away from home, we still had someone to watch over us. During the first two years, Mrs. Bently, Mrs. Midlam, and Miss Lang- ford shared this duty, and now, Mrs. Miller. Our sincere thanks to you. Regular off-duty wardrobe. Almost the end.

O TO OUR PARENT S Who led us through these three unforgettable and happy years To you, who gave us strength and love, We only hope that we can prove By willing deeds and cheerful hearts What these three years have given us We come with thanks and gratefulness To each of you who helped To light the way and give us trust And listen to our woes. Three years have come and gone, Filled with joy and sorrow, too. And many times we've lost the way To find it again through you. Without your love and helpfulness We would surely have never come To such a joyful ending, Knowing now just where we stand. And now, as we go forth in life, We'1l thank you more and more For all you've done and given us Unselfishly and sure.

A nurse likes-- clean linen the look of health, shining hair patient doctors, and lots of hot water She hates-- alarm clocks new shoes, interruptions, and the ravages of disease. She hopes for-- health for her patients, ease of pain, a clean uniform every day, nice vacations. Nurses are people-- let's be proud of the name and live up to itl An R. N. all THE FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE PLEDGE I solemnly pledge myself before God and in the presence of this assembly to pass my life in purity and to practice my profession faithfully. I will abstain from whatever is delete- rious and mischievous, and will not take or knowingly ad- minister any harmful drug. I will do all in my power to elevate the standard of my profession, and I will hold in confidence all personal matters committed to my keeping, and all family affairs coming to my knowledge in the prac- tice of my calling. With loyalty will I endeavor to aid the physician in his work and devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care. Still have something to pursue, Something which you wish you knew.
