Foreword Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime. And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. Footprints that perhaps another, Sailing o ' er life ' s solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother Seeing, shall take heart again. Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate, Still achieving, still pursuing. Learn to labor and to wait. — H. W. Longfellow As we leave our footprints on the following pages, may they bring back to us in years to come, vivid recollections of our happiest and best davs in nurse ' s training. We look forward with the hope that we may be successful throughout life and ever be up and doing . It is witli a great deal of pride and satisfaction that we, the Senior class of 1954, present to you the second volume of The Oak and sincerely hope you will enjoy it. Dedication Miss Jamella Bell We gratefully dedicate this— our second yearbook of The Williams- port Hospital School of Nursing— to Miss Jamella Bell, Assistant Director of Nursino. o Through her untiring efforts, she re-organized our Student Govern- ment, helped us establish a recreation hall, and has done a large part in making our school what it is today We choose this way to express our gratitude tor all she has done for us. In Appreciation The Class of 1954 wishes to express its gratitude and sincere appreciation to: The administrator of our hospital and his assistant, who have shown keen interest in all our undertakings, and have promoted new developments toward better student education. The director of nurses and her assistant, who have planned and guided us during our three years of training, leading us to realize the importance of the career we have chosen. The present faculty, who have been wonderful as instructors as well as encour- aging in our efforts. We also want to acknowledge Mrs. J. Turzanski and Mrs. S. Clemons for the many hours they spent with us as our Nursing Arts and Clinical Instructors during our first vear of training. The physicians, who gave their valuable time to lecture to us and those we met every day in our routine patient care. We will always remember their willingness and ouidance. o The supervisors and head nurses, who were always willing to help us and have shown a keen interest in every student nurse ' s educational progress. The housemothers, who have made us feel at home and have given us guidance and understanding during the past three years. All organizations, both professional and social, which have contributed in so many ways to the achievement of our goals. The public relations and personnel director, who has planned in detail varied activities and newspaper photographs of the hospital that concerned the student nurse as well as benefiting future education in this school of nursing. All other hospital employees, who have in any way benefited our progress in nurses training. The photographers, who willingly gave their time both for candid and posed pictures. Miss Elizabeth Sander, who as our class advisor helped us to carry out and make a success of all our class social affairs during the past two years. Miss Elizabeth Sander Class Advisor JLHillunnsjjnrt Hospital JOSilltaiuspiirt, a. Dear Mother and Dad, Finally, after three long years, I have attained my goal in becoming a graduate nurse. They have been years of struggle and hard work, but what I have gained from them has made it all worth while. You will probably never forget how vou shared my gripes and depressions. The times when I came home dis- couraged and wanting to quit, your reassurance that things would go better next time, sent me back for another try— and I succeeded. As I look back now, I realize that there have been times when I have not always been considerate or shown the ap- preciation to you that was due, for then I had gone my own way with the indifference and callousness of vouth. Your patience and understanding have indeed guided me through these three years of completing my nurses training. And so, Mother and Dad, vou certainly deserve much of the credit in helping me to reach this ultimate goal —a graduate nurse. Your loving Daughter, Mr. Daniel W.

As we turn each page we ponder and smile And now we realize it was very worthwhile. Each page in our diary holds a story that ' s true Of the pleasures and heartaches we ' ve been thru; Of things that have happened as days roll by; Of failure or success in the things we try. Our diarv is divided into three different parts, To bring back memories so dear to our hearts. We think of our hrst vear, we stop and gaze Remembering our capping, the greatest of days! Our second year held a brand new light— We worked in our specialties— day and night. Then came our third year— Seniors at last, Waiting for weeks and months to roll past. Yes, time has flown by and our diary we close, We ' ll always be happy in the profession we chose, To all those who ' ve aided— our thanks we extend, For the road of success you ' ve helped us ascend. We ' ve reached our goal— graduation day! We ' ve whitened those clouds that seemed so gray. In the future our duties we ' ll proudly perform, In our white nurse ' s cap and our white uniform. Marie C. Eck MottO : The student of today is the leader of tomorrow 21 Class History Do you remember the day we eagerly started out in our career? It was September 17, 1951. It seems like ages ago, doesn ' t it? We had all passed our aptitude test and physical examinations and after a summer ' s vacation from high school, we were ready to continue our education. We met Miss Evans and the school faculty as we registered at the Louisa Street Nurse ' s Home. We also met our big sisters who helped us to get settled in our new rooms and answered the many questions we had to ask. Miss Thomas, our housemother, was a big help to us. There were thirty of us and we all lived in the same nurse ' s home. The first couple of weeks brought an entirely new experience to us. Many of us got homesick, but this didn ' t last very long. Our first week was filled with orientations, tours, and social events at the Lycoming College. It wasn ' t long until we were well acquainted with our classmates and more contented to be away from home. September 24 found us starting classes at the college— Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology, and of course, Chemistry. Every morning we went to the college and returned to the hospital for classes in the afternoon. Our initiation into training was something we will never forget. Of course we thought the Seniors were a little hard on us, but it was certainly a lot of fun. It wasn ' t long before we were allowed to work on the hospital wards. We all felt pretty stupid at first, but every day became a little easier. We had to wear scrub gowns which looked like sacks tied around the middle. Didn ' t we feel important the first day we wore our new student uni- forms! But, oh, what a time we had trying to fix our little black ties! We soon found out that white shoes don ' t stay white very long. Day by day we were able to do a little more for our patients. Finally after our six month ' s probation period, and having passed our college finals and satis- factorily completed other subjects we received our caps at the traditional Florence Nightingale ceremony held at the Y. W. C. A. auditorium. Of course it had to rain, but who cared? We were all too happy and excited to worry about the weather. The next morning we were glad to go to work to show off our new caps and bibs. Vacation time soon rolled around. That meant the end of classes and of study hour every night for the summer months. It wasn ' t long, though, before it was time for fall classes again. A new class entered training and how good it seemed to have them behind us. Our goal didn ' t seem so far away now. Our Intermediate year was filled with classes and specialties. We all loved Obstetrics and Pediatries and of course the Operating Room of which we were petrified until we actually worked there. Our study hour had been cut down to two nights a week and by now we were working all shifts— nights and relief included. We were busy, but always found time for fun now and then. Some of our class left for a three month affiliation at Warren State Hospital on June 30. This was farther away from home for most of us but letters kept us up to date on everything. We had to write care studies and community projects, and weren ' t those something? In August we moved from the Louisa Street Nurse ' s Home to the new rooms at the Rural Avenue Nurse ' s Home. We loved our new living quarters and tried to keep it as nice as possible. This meant a change of housemothers. Poor Mrs. Harding, many times she probably wished she had never laid eyes on us! We gave our Senior Banquet on September 1 at the Village Tea Room with Dr. M. Colvin as the speaker. How does the subject of cows always wind up in his speeches! We didn ' t have many classes in our Senior year but were kept busy working on our yearbook and care studies. Althouoh it has been hard work and we have had many rules and regulations to live up to, this has been three of the best years in our lives which we will never forget. There are twenty-fiv e of us who will finish together and then each will go her separate way, proud to be a graduate of The Williamsport Hospital School of Nursing. 22 Class of 1954 . . .

Tis something she herself can make, A bit of linen, trimmed and turned The right to it (for mercy ' s sake) Was with three years of training earned. That uniform of spotless white Was costlier than a lady ' s gown ' Twas bought with care by day and night For those with illness stricken down. The royal robes show royal birth But every nurse ' s simple pin Is emblematic of her worth; A symbol she has toiled to win. Oh gracious spirit, love imbued, That can such tender care accord, Perhaps it is, that gratitude Must always be your best reward. Now out of gratitude appears This tribute, done in simple verse Unto the dedicated years Of all who choose to be a nurse. by Edgar A. Guest To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly, to listen to the stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry neyer; in a word to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. o No government can do this for us, we must do it for ourselves. by William Henry Channing, Chaplain of the House of Representatives Courtesy of The Willi am sport Hospital Nurses Alumnae Association. 39 Compliments of THE LYCOMING COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY W Success to the Class of 1954 40 Compliments of THE WILLIAMSPORT HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF Gfc Congratulations to the Class of 1954 41 E.
