A a es Fie os Eoties i ears t ANNIE The presentation of Annie has been a tr adition at Watts since 1943; it was in this year that asenior student won Annie at the State Fair. This senior having no roommate of her own, chose to share Annie by passing her on after her graduation tothe twoclosestroommates __ from the up-coming Senior class. Since that first pre- sentation, Annie has become a symbol of congeniality and understanding between two chosen roommates. This year, Ginny Davis and Sherri Eddinger had the honor of accepting the presentation of ANNIE. God speaks to us in the gentle rain that splashes and taps on our windowpane; We hear His voice in the comforting sigh of the wind as it goes murmuring by, In the roar of the sea and the song of birds, We hear the majesty of His world, And when silent nights wear a star-studded crown _ God talks in a language transcending allsound; __ But His message of hope and love without end © is most clearly heard in the voice of a friend. — Dean Walle) We love each other ... it must have shown, because our class- mates honored us with Annie. 2 — Thanks friends. Always, Ginny and Sherri SANTA FILOMENA The purpose of Santa Filomena is to recognize achievement and promote leadership. The members are chosen from the rising Senior class and publicly tapped at the Black Banding Ceremony. The mem- bers shall strive for better interclass relationship and promote better nursing and higher nursing standards. Those chosen for this year are Marilyn Monk, Sherri Eddinger, Phyllis Harris, Gwyn Harrison, Donna Gray and Ruth Long. _ Summer ‘HEY, HEY, GONNA BE ges SAS WZ Moving into a strange place — New friends — Leaving home — Rush, rush, rush — Raids and door decorations.

A part of each student’s life consists of those forever famous cookouts, crowded and smelly refrigerators, trying to find something to do rather than studying and when you do study, staying up late. There is one person in particular who plays a part in each student's day at Watts. He is known only as Vernon, the Pinkerton man. WHITE CAP CANDIDATES Ellen Pittman, Freshman Karen Williams, Junior 20 GLEE CLUB ¥ gt Oe Tiviyan A bunch of girls just sitting around singing folk, oldie-goldies, religious and even Watts original songs — that’s our Glee Club. Nothing fancy and surely not professional, for a switch, but we do have fun. This year’s group worked under the direction of Mr. Glenn Starnes. 21 STUDENT COUNCIL Student Council is made up of the officers of the Student Government Association and representatives of each class. At their regu- larly monthly meetings these students deal with matters concerning student activities as well as handling violations of the rules of the school and Honor Code. 22 CHRISTIAN STUDENT UNION To instill in each student the desire to seek and attain those Christ-like qualities that are becoming to a nurse. To open a door to life different from other doors: a door through which a student may go to discover herself and to discover meaning for her own life in order that she may be more able to help others find meaning for theirs. This is the goal for each student in- volved in the Watts Hospital Christian Student Union. a8} STUDENT NURSES ASSOCIATION 24 JOURNAL CLUB Pe 25 To capture each phase of our lives at Watts was our intention. Work was bountiful. Worry was plentiful. Hours were long; but satisfac- tion abundant. The White Cap is published through a joint effort of all the students. The staff is made up of representatives from each class.

In class the major body systems, the normal and diseased states are studied. This knowledge is then put into practice on the wards in recognizing the needs of these patients and providing appro- priate nursing measures. More than just the words are used as a learning experience. OR rotations and time spent at the Family Medicine Center showed a different aspect of nursing and caught us becoming involved in more than just nursing priorities with these patients. A more indepth understanding of those ever present IV's was obtained while spending a day with Mrs. Philips. Twenty-two weeks is a long time but the time spent was very important in our pro- fessional growth. Med-Surg embodies all the other nursing disciplines.

To broaden our nursing knowledge, emphasis was placed on more specialized areas — the geriatric and the critically ill patient.

F ol S| od Letter from the Co-editors With this letter the final material for The White Cap will have been submitted. In planning this year’s book, we wanted to make it different from previous years. We used blue spot color in the opening as well as gray pages. The senior section has gray pages with reverse print. We divided the book into two sections. Our theme was borrowed from a song by the late Jim Croce — ‘‘Photographs and Memories’, because in years to come that’s all that we’ll have of our time at Watts. The cover is a one-color silk screen with a gold-colored metallay. The book has 128 pages and is printed in Melior type on 80 pound embossed paper. It is published by the Delmar Companies. The assistance of Joe Decatur and Mike Ward in photography and putting this book together has been invaluable as well as the help we’ve received from other members of the Max Ward—Delmar team. It hasn’t been easy putting this book out but nothing is ever really easy. We had to change our plans sev- eral times but we think that the finished product will be worth it. Watts is a school full of tradition. This year’s book breaks a tradition. This year’s The White Cap is not dedicated to one person in particular — but to people in general. We’ve also made plans to include a sum- mer supplement to cover the spring events. We want to thank everyone who worked on the yearbook and a special thanks to our advisor, Mrs. Caro- lyn McCain. We hope that next year’s book will be even better. And now the waiting begins for the finished product.
