FOREWORD We, as student nurses, assume greater responsibilities thanthe average young girl, for the lives of others are entrusted in our care. Weare proud of this added responsi- bility and even though our young lives may be a little more complicated and our free time more limited, we have managed to ful- fill our desire of leading the happy, satis- fying life that the average girl seeks. In carrying out our theme, the two faces of Miss Watts School of Nursing , we hope to convey to you throughout our yearbook, in pictures and words, the two different lives we lead; that of the student nurse and the de- lightful young girl. Peggy Oakes THE NIGHT NURSE Among the sick, row on row The light passes through the’ night. Keeping vigil over one and all, Rich, Black, Poor, and White. A cry in the night---A comforting hand, . A pain so severe---has ceased; — ie 5 edn cear ita Gad swe A feeling of loneliness---A companion is near, Lee Leah aa, Ep oS as Filling the needs that are missed. : The light travels on, bed after bed, Behind it follows the nurse. What thoughts are there within her mind; What fears accompany her journey? Lose The fear for safety of each one in her care, ate The fear to do the right thing, o Fear to detect the abnormal sign, : - And fear of knowing too little, Fear of misinterpreting Or overlooking the vital. These things she ponders within her Renee As through the night she travels. Never showing her worry lines, They're written on her soul. Never being Selfish, For in her hands, their foo) 000 (0) al she holds. What call has beckoned her into this field? What force has drawn her near? The wgfk, the worry, the wages- I knoye not why I'm here. ; : ‘As dawn appears and all is well, A sigh of thanksgiving heard. fe Her question is-answered in a multitude of ways---- a Peas. .

I've been here a good many years-and seen quite a number of classes come and go but the one particular class I'm going to telleabout arrived a few days before we made our acquaintance, on September 4, 1956. There were fifty-seven of them, all bright eyed and eager -wondering what tomorrow would hold for them. After the round of teas, get-acquainted parties and tours of the city they soon got a pretty good idea of what tomorrow would hold for them. Will they ever forget writing those Dear Mom letters in the wee hours before an approaching quiz in anatomy ? Still lost as babes in the woods many of them found Izzie the Staff House maid and others a good mother substitute when their problems got the best of them. After Christmas every minute of which they had enjoye d to the upmost thinking that this was perhaps their last Christmas at home; they began to feel their way about onthe wards a little better. No longer did they have to be told their cleaning assign- ment after patient care. It was an automatic thing to get rubber gloves, a can of Temp and start scrubbing the you know what . Our first year wasn't all work and no play, for on the week-ends the halls were echoing with plans to go to a football game, a dance or a visit to roommate's home town. In the spring Gladys Harris representedher class at the National Student Nurse's Association inChicago. Withher borrowed bib and cap she was the envy of everyone in the class. Soon enough, however, capping rolled around and on June 2, 1957, everyone proudly wore their newly acquired caps and bibs. In the days following they learned a greater meaning of the word responsibility for it was the keynote to becoming a good nurse- something they all aspired to be. The freshman officers were President, Lois Robinson, Vice President, Gladys Harris, Secretary, Faye Daniels and Treasurer, Jo Pat Stokes, and Historian, Bette Thomas. Junior year, Junior Slump-they seemed synonomous. Call is OR and DR plus weeks upon weeks of evening and nigh t duty left much to be desired. They were too far into nursing tc quit but it seemed to far away from it to ever graduate. They have to ad- mit that it was a learning experience from begining to end. The year was brightened for some by their three months psychiatric affiliation at the ''Hill''. Those carefree days at the Hill gave everyone a new outlook-and a greater appetite. Though they had to walka country mile to the cafeteria it was worth the walk to have bacon and donuts every morning. The competent leaders of their junior class were: President, Jo Pat Stokes, Vice President, Gladys Harris, Secretary, Peggy Oakes, Treasurer, Emma Williams, and Historian, Virginia Sykes. With the graduation of the Seniors they inherited the meaningful black bands and took the place of Seniors themselves. This year was composed of many money mak- ing projects, work on the annual, graduation plans and much discussion about future jobs and wedding plans. It all seemed to go so fast that last year I couldn't believe they'd been here almost three years. As they waved goodbye to me, on the morning after their graduation, I sensed in the air feeling of ambivalance; for even though their coveted goal was now in their possession, yet I'm sure each was reluctant to leave the long friends they'd made during their student days at Watts. As told to Laura Quinn and Sonya Knight by Mary Chase We, the seniors of 1959, having been drawn forward by the beckoning voice of a world that we must face, standing on the threshold of anew adventure, and realizing that as we go, we leave behind memories to be cherished forever, do linger long enough to glance back and entrust to you who remain to carry on where we left off, some of our dearest possessions. Article I To the rising seniors, we leave our cherished black bands in hopes they'll wear them as proudly as we did. To the rising juniors, we leave the never ceasing evening and night duty with a full bottle of procaine for all the hard knocks they'll receive. SiH es Neo ERE TIOD To the faculty and doctors who have guided us so diligently through our three years at Watts, we leave our deepest appreciation, and a bottle of A. S. A. for all the headaches we have caused them. To the housemothers we leave a quiet and peaceful dorm. i Article II I, Margaret Cheek, do leave my height to Betty Hammock, so that next year she'll be able to reach the top medicine shelf without using a stool. I, Nancy Craig, do leave my calorie chart and book How to Reduce to Dale Nesbitt who has no need for it. I, Joy Crumpler, do leave my ability to break hearts, to Jo Ann Warren.

PROPHECY The U.S.O., is gaily decorated for the festive occasion. Everyone is in uniform, gaily dancing about, small groups vlaughing and talking. One group stands out from the rest --the faces are very familiar. As I move closer Nancy Craig, pulling Ed by the hand, came out to meet me. As we joined the group I recognized Faye Daniel with Lyen, Peggy Poole with Jerry, and Barbara Evans, showing off her new Captain's bar. Seems that these girls are serving their country in the Army Nurse Corps in order to keep up with husbands who have made a career out of the service. Attracted by music from the other room I walked into a huge concert hall, filled with formally dressed dignitaries. I see Betsy Parker, Geraldine Quick, Verna Reynolds, Annette Roundy, and Margaret Cheek, all sitting with dis- tinguished men. Betsy has on her famous spike heels and all the girls are intent on Tonya Yates, on stage giving one ofher performances on her piano concert tour. Why is she giving a concert in her nurse's uniform? Moving toward noise from outside, I push open a door and around the kitchen table sit Shirley Humphries, Donna Jordon, Janice Harper, and Barbara Jones. I sat down to chat with them for awhile and soon learned that each of them had married soon after graduation and were now doing full- time nursing at home, occasionally helping out at hospitals and various places where nurses might be needed. They told me that Denise Ellis went to the Bahama Islands to carry on with her profession. As I walked out the back door, Connie Foster called to me fromagarden. She was dressed in full uniform and was giving a wilting leaf on her giant African Violet an injection of Terramycin. She and Butch were married and living in Washington, D. C. She is one of the head nurses at Wash- ington Memorial Hospital. She told me that Jo Pat Stokes went on to get her B.S. and M.A. Degrees after graduation from Watts, then moved to New York to take a teaching position at Bellevue. Lois Robinsonis Assistant-Director of the Space-Tra- vel Medical Research Center in Colorado. Suddenly a black horse gallops toward me. Frances Smith and her daughter, Bobbie , greet me. Fran is head nurse on a surgical floor at U.N.C. Fran tells me that Gladys Faye Harris is now president of the State Nurses Association. | Virginia Sykes, of course, is editor of the A. J. N. She does a lot of traveling to foreign countries to study the different nursing problems. The roaring of the engines on the trans-Atlantic air- liner startles me for awhile. It frightens me to think how far we are from the ground. Then Joy Crumpler, in her smart airline hostess uniform sits down beside me. She tells me that she went to an airline hostess school inWyom- ing. Since then she has traveled over most of the world. Joyce Thornton is still climbing the ladder of success. She has attended schools in the northern states and is now the Director of Nurses at a large hospital in Connecticut. The plane lands in Florida andas I am getting off, Sonya Knight approaches me. How sophisticated she looks as she boards the plane for the Inter-National Council of Nurses Convention, of which she is an outstanding leader, at Geneva, Switzerland. Linda Long has moved to Greenland, Sonya tells me, with her husband, Ted. She is head of the big medical de- partment with the construction company of which her hus - bandis president. Joyce Lassiter is the Disaster and Civil Defense Administration at Camp Lejeune Naval Hospital. She was married after graduation and moved to Lejeune with her colonel husband. I hailed ataxiand when I got in the backseat Jean Lam- bert greeted me. Jean is the nurse for the University of Florida, where her husband is now working. 33 She told me that Mary Lou Graves was working at Miami City Hospital as head nurse of the Emergency De- partment. At the next block Jean left me mumbling something about little chores to do. The cab driver blew his horn for a car to get out of his way. Iwas standing on the deck of the U. S. San Marie Ocean Liner, enjoying the sea breeze and talking to Margaret Mallard. She was on her way to Europe as the Director of the Red Cross Nursing Service. She told me that Laura Quinn was working closely with my old roommate, Peggy Oakes, at 10 Columbus Circle, New York. It seems they are co-directors of the Public Health Nursing in the U.S. A supervisor in the O.R. at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Bette Thomas is publishing books on aseptic technique and assisting with various types of operations. Emma Williams is content on her farm in Connecticut with her husband and three children. Madelyn Winstead keeps busy trying to help her husband with his oil business in Texas. That Margaret was always up on the latest news! I look across the deck of the ocean liner and see two boys dribbling a basketball. The thump-thump of the ball becomes a hum-drum sound in my head. Thump-thump-thump---all four of my children come running excitedly into my bedroom. Waking me, they remind me this is the day for our family picnic. A day off from my duties at Harris Heating and Air Conditioning business, where I am in charge of the Medical Department, means a picnic at the park. California is such a lovely place for picnics! Remembering my dream of the night before I wonder --- --was it a dream at all? Is everything true----will I ever know ? Carol Short hay = BS = = x es, be 34 ...

SANTA FILOMENA ' i Left to right: Jean Lambert, Frances Smith, Jo Pat Stokes, Verna Reynolds, Emma Williams, and Peggy Oakes. Santa Filomena is a senior honorary society whose members are tapped annually at an impressive candle-light ceremony. The qualifications include a student's initiative as a leader, her ability to demonstrate outstanding nursing care, and her achievements toward a higher scholastic standard. Those chosen to represent the society consider it an honor and an inspiration to set an example toward the betterment of the school of nursing, a s well as themselves. The Santa Filomena flower is the white lily and its' members may be identified by the minature gold Florence Nightingale lamp they wear. Santa Filomena Lamp a5 Santa Filomena Pin Each year at Christmas time, it has been the tradition for the student nurses at Watts to go through the hospital singing Christmas Carols, bringing cheer to the patients who re- main in the hospital during the season of glad tidings and good cheer. The line of Carol- ers is always lead by ' 'Florence Nightingale,'' and the procession makes its way through the hospital covering all the wards.
