It has accomplished the purpose for which its founder, Mr. George Washington Watts, intended it to be used—“‘for the people of the City and County of Durham.” Although the original hospital was very small, it rated high in the quality of work which it produced. Soon it outgrew its bed-capacity, and the ne w hospital building was presented to the people of Durham on December 2, 1909. These are the beautiful hospital buildings of today. The lovely old Spanish mission style with the red tile roof marks a cheerful spot for the care of hospital patients. The interior is light and airy—giving a wholesome atmos- phere to the place. It is equipped with many modern hospital facilities. Because of its superior administration and its high type of nursing care, the Watts Hospital today has an “A” classification among institutions of this type. As the hospital expanded, its school of nursing showed a corresponding progressive growth. A long parade of intelligent and efficient nurses has entered and graduated from this school since the first class of 1897. Wherever skilled nurses are required, the Watts graduates have found work, success, and happiness. Today, the Watts Hospital and its School of Nursing have attained a high degree of efficiency under the administration of Mr. Sample B. Forbus as Superintendent of the Hospital and Miss Bessie Jones as Superintendent of the School of Nursing. The new high type of nursing education has presented us with an increas- ingly higher type of young womanhood. May each young person who gives herself to this work, regard it as a sa cred trust and enjoy the task she has to do. To each of you we stress loyalty—to your hospital and School of Nursing, to your friends and co-workers, to the staff doctors, to your patients, and last, but not least, to yourself. Watts Hospital is now on the brink of a glorious future. May it always bring a feeling of pride and a host of pleasant memories to those who love it.

I look upon that associa- tion as the most precious of my professional experiences. It is therefore, very gratifying that my talk on the activities of the National League of Nursing Education in Durham last fall was interesting to the students of the Wa tts Hospital School of Nursing to the extent that you discussed it later in your Class in professional problems. The members of your senior class will soon be going out into the great adventure of your professional career. Many of you will enter educational work in some form or other. You will want to become members of the League because you will want the advantage of all the services the League has to offer to its members, and because you will want an opportunity to participate in its state and national activities. We believe you will find a great satisfaction in membership in an organization which has made such a splendid contribution to the education of the nurse today. The field of nursing is one filled with ever-broadening opportunities. My best wishes go with you as you go out to meet the challenge which it offers. Remember always that you have chosen a noble and worthwhile profession, and those of us who are older in the profession look to you young women who are graduating today to hold high and carry forward the banner of the glorious traditions of the nursing profession.

The scared, lonely feeling of separation from friends, and the strange newness of hospital life? Those first days, which are now slightly hazy, were busily spent in adjusting ourselves to the new environment. Interspersed with our class work were the antics of young hopefuls, who loved to misbehave on class, and especially on Anatomy. Have you forgotten the time Dr. Pierce sat down on the floor after we had carefully “fixed his chair’? Despite our silly giggles and adolescent behavior, we were a very ambitious class—contributing our quota of good nurses to the hospital ranks, when on May 12, 1935, every “probie’” was accepted by her school. We were capped nurses—and our greatest desire was realized! Let us recall that first morning when we donned our complete uniform. Could any seventeen girls feel quite so happy as we? Our dreams were fast becoming reality. In September more excitement crept into our crowded days——a new class of seventeen “probies”! How important we felt appearing as experienced nurses in the eyes of the younger girls. Could we have looked so funny in our uniforms? Before long these younger girls received their caps and became classmates of ours. The monotony of our floor duty was only broken by the amusement occasioned by the dumb answers and excited behavior of the venturesome young nurses. When the actual responsibility of night duty confronted us, we felt our- selves to be real nurses. How great it all seemed, and yet who among us did not shudder at the thoughts of the long, lonely nights. October and November passed and then came a snowy-white Christmas. Our first holidays away from home and friends, but we had little time for regrets. Then back to classes and exams, followed by a round of summer vacations, which were all too short for our plans. At the beginning of the second year, special training was begun for some—the O. R., Diet Kitchen, and Maternity each taking its quota. The thrill of rushing a patient to the Delivery Room and those nights on call will long be remembered. Days in the Diet Kitchen remind us of scraping trays, weighing out diets, and the penetrating odors of burned food. ‘Professional sampling” was always a joy, but the increasing weight scales were a constant source of discomfort. As O. R. nurses, each of us remembers the thrill of assisting our favorite surgeons. The responsibility and hard work which was ours brought us a cor- responding satisfaction. In those four months we outgrew our immaturity and became Senior Nurses. Although our last year has brought heavy class schedules and additional outside work, we have always found time for social gatherings. Parties after light bell, benefit bridges, and dances were all part of our activities. The class of 1938 is proud of its past. We have upheld the high ideals of our school, and have contributed ourselves to a great work. As we stand on the eve of graduation, our future is bright with the promise of glorious lives. May each of us give years of loyal service to the greatest of all professions! —AGATHA STOKES, Historian.

PATRICK'S DAY DANCE — � —, re Vine THE CLINICAL laboratory was the scene of a very charming wedding on Saturday, October lst, when Miss Mercury Thermometer was united in mar- riage to Mr. Rapid Pulse. The Rey. Enema Stand officiated. The bride was given in marriage by her stepfather, B. E. D. Pan, and wore a gorgeous gown of white enamel with a court train of rubber tubing lined with barium and held in place by a small silver clamp. She carried a shower bouquet of sputum cups and pale pink kidney basins and was attended by Miss Ann Asthetic, Miss Violet Ray, and Miss Ethel Chloride, similarly attired in short white gowns a la Hospital, held in place at the back of the neck and wearing a picture hat, basin-shaped, with hypodermic mounts. The groom gave them each a necklace of aspirin. The bride’s only jewel was a family heirloom, a rare old gold tooth. Her veil of beautiful white gauze was worn in a highly sterilized fashion, with tiny bands of morphia, held in place with shiny clips and three subcutaneous sutures of catgut. Little Miss Rubber Catheter, niece of the bride, acted as flower girl, dressed in glistening glycerine. The guests were rushed to their seats by ushers Castor Oil and Epsom Salts. During the service they stood in the chancel which was banked with forget-me-nots, huge bed-pans with hypodermic sprays. Miss Steryl Izer sang several selections during the ceremony and Mrs. S. S. Enema sang “O Promise Me.” Mrs. Ill Leo Colitis, grandmother of the bride, was an out-of-town guest. She wore a gown of yellow jaundice and a beautiful lavalliere of precious gallstones and a small todeokan turban. Other out-of-town guests were the Misses Chronic and Acute Appendicitis, Sir Osteo Myelitis, accompanied by his daughter, Polly Myelitis. Baby Rickets was also present. Later Mr. and Mrs. Pulse trembled off on their honeymoon, which will be spent in wards D and L. On their return they will reside in Germy Apartments on Laboratory Avenue. —Southern Hospital Magazine BOOK [TV a ube Tees PAGE 68 AGATHA STOKES Most Representative UJ ON No} isa) O Au LUNA WAGNER Most Loyal CATHERINE THOMPSON Most Influential and Most Professional PAGE 70 SHIRLEY NICHOLS ! rigina Most O Teal PAGE NELL WAGSTAFF Most Popular BOOK V lis ; papel ols sae (f Vd verlisements Sn GA see ner THE DIAKONIA Staff wishes to thank all who have helped in making this book a success. 1.
