HOSPITAL SCHUOL OF NURSING JAMESTOWN, NEW YORK EDITOR - MARLEEN DONELSON CO-EDITOR - N'AOMI BURCH ADVISOR - JANE MOHR F OREWORD As you turn each page and find yourself in another familiar hall within W,C,A,, we hope you will come to apprec- iate the significance of our theme. For it was In the Halls you heard the re-echoing of a Public Address System calling out in the hospital, or the rhythm of music drifting from the halls of the dormitory, -- all the gaiety, learning. and, yes, sometimes even tears. In days to come we hope you will grow to value this yearbook, as you leaf through the pages recalling familiar faces and past experiences. This is the purpose of our yearbook -- to relive the past as we look toward the future. Now we present to you, students, faculty, and personnel of W,C,A,, your 1961 Lamplighter.

Taking the temperatures, giving the pills To remedy mankind's numberless ills, Feeding the baby, answering the bells Being polite with a heart that rebels. Longing for home and all the while Wearing the same old professional smile Blessing the new born babe 's first breath Closing the eyes that are still in death. Taking the blame for the doctor's mistakes, Oh Dear, what a lot of patience it takesg Going off duty at seven o'clock Tired, discouraged, and ready to drop. But called back on special at seven fifteen With woe in her heart, but it must not be seen, Morning and evening, and noon and night. Just doing it over and hoping it's tight. When we lay down our caps and cross the bar Oh Lord, will you give us just one little star, To wear in our crowns with our uniforms, new In that city above, where the Head Nurse is you - -,,-Y- W f--W .- p-.,.

With shaking knees and confused minds, graduation seemed a long way off then. Each received a big sister to help her adjust to her new life. These girls were Probies and in that first week they learned the FULL MEANING of their new title. To add to the initiation activities there was a picnic, tour of the hospital and classes. Studies piled up, and in their spare C?J time there were plans for the Halloween Party, making projects for the Christmas Bazaar, parties, helping with the Christmas Tea and the J CC Winter Carnival. Along with all this they made their debute in the hospital corridors, frightened but so proud. Then the big day in March when twenty-eight girls donned their caps and proudly informed everyone that they were no longer Probies. Soon there were final tests, college classes were completed, then a month of full time work in the hospital. Oh! those aching feet, --following was two weeks of much needed vacation. In September they received black corner stripes for their caps, got a little sister, and began their Junior year with only twenty-four girls. This year found them in every corner of the hospital, supplementing their knowledge by attending Medical Surgical classes, and surprisingly enough there was still time for money making activities, and the Christmas Bazaar. Hurrah! the girls came out on top in sales at the Bazaar so they were guests of honor at a Hoagie Party given by the other two classes. At last--they had reached the halfway mark. This was celebrated by having a banquet. Still a year and a half--would they ever make it? In April, off to Gowanda, their first affiliation and one never to be forgotten. Then the girls proudly make their appearance inthe halls of WCA wearing caps with full black bands--Seniors at last! Suddenly theyhad more responsibilities and the big rush was on to build up that treasury. Then the class splits--first obstetrics. then to Buffalo for pediatrics. These months are busy ones with money making schemes, completion of the yearbook, vacation, and back to WCA for senior experience. After three years it seems these girls still have an endless supply of energy to enjoy those last activities: class night, alumnae banquet and senior dance. At lastthe big day is here. At the end of the halls is graduation. One last look back and you see many wonderful experiences, trying times, and happy memories you'll never forget. These are the graduates of the Class of 1961. Each now about to go her own way to enter various halls of nursing. 1 es 1 1 . . ,CD:.':'.1Cf?:.1 'sh 'airs' 1 'AM 7. .x.,.,. .,1, . .g. . . . 1 . ... 1210.515 I 024.5201 I I S K O 7:1-:-.:1'E.1:Qxz4T !'?'1' 92 '. 1' L' QJ.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Another year has passed and it has been entirely different from the first. We seem to appreciate the chance to get to bed early -- six o'c1ock comes all too soon. As our freshman year ended -- how happy we were to be finished at .T .C.C. -- only to find ourselves swamped with other subjects. Our true experiences on the floors began at this time. Our knowledge, confidence and responsibility increased. We have as memories of the past year -- the get-acquainted party for the freshmen and the Christmas Bazaar which we won. Our class seemed to split up at this time -- part of us going to surgery. some to Diet Therapy and the rest struggling with Medical Surgical Nursing. Yes, we have had a good year and are looking forward even more to the next one. We will finally be separated as our affiliations begin, but we will know that the home stretch for our goal has begun.

Norma Mohr ms. I YOUR CAP There is no one who can give you your cap, A nurse's cap is never really hers, lt belongs to anyone in need And is a challenge, heritage and creed. You will take it for granted and often wonder If it's worth the aching feet, The days when everything is out of place, And every patient just another case, Though you are young and often lost yourself, You must be all things to all folks-- And you must find kindness, tact and poise In sharing someone e1se's sorrows and his joys. The warmth of a newborn child in your arms-- A patient calling nurse! and meaning you-- Laughter, work, the people you will meet-- 'I'hese are the things that make your cap complete A challenge. heritage, creed and more-- A way of living and of helping others. It is your errors and all the dreams you dream. Your cap is only what you make it seem. --Charleen Lindsley FRESHMAN CLASS FIRST ROW: Diane Johnson, Katherine Clow, .Lucy Vollentine, Jean Donelson, Rebecca Weaver.

CLASS HISTORY Our Freshmen class entered W,C,A, School of Nursing on September 12, 1960. Looking back we pause to recall the many exciting experiences during Probie Week, Then we were ready to settle down to the serious business of studies, We entered Jamestown Community College for many courses and we participated in most of the college and W,C,A, activities which were provided. As the months flew by. we attended basketball games. plays, operas, movies, lecturg and participated in school projects. January saw mid-term week climaxed with the beginning of our clinical practice, Capping, the most impressive event of our Freshman year, came on February 24, when 27 girls received their caps. A special place in our hearts will be reserved for the fond memories of our Freshman Year.

Juanita Saurs, Naomi Burch. one of our most active clubs at W,C.A. is the Nurse's Christian Fellowship. It is a Bible study group, the purpose being to study and become better acquainted with His Holy Word. our group is interdenominational and because of this, we are able to receive varied opinions and ideas on any subject. N.C.F. also sponsors a chapel which is held every evening to thank God for His daily guidance. We are grateful to the school and the Lgrd for this opportunity for further learning and pray that it can be continued in the years to come. YEARBOCK STAFF FIRST ROW: Lucy Vollentine, Juanita Sauers.
