7 e0aH -1961- THE WILLIAMSPORT HOSPITAL SCHOOL OF NURSING Williamsport, Pennsylvania Mrs. Barbara Fowler (loot I new docs not consist in greatness, but great- ness in goodness. — A then u us With the family gathered round! DEDICATION Being the possessor of qualities such as gen- erosity, initiative, good humor, and gentle persua- sion, Mrs. Fowler was a natural choice for out- class adviser. Through skillful application of her talents she helped to mold us, a group of unsure and faltering student nurses, into a class capable of achieving sought after personal and profes- sional goals. Whether our call was for counseling or a do- nation for one of our money-making projects she was ever-ready. She knew each of us individ- ually as well as the role we played as a class member. And from this close association we reaped main benefits. Above all, each of us shall always try to carry with us in life her ideals of kindness, generosity, and unselfishness. And so for lending your hand of service, your wisdom, and your knowledge, we the graduating class sav thank you. As a token of our appre- ciation and deep affection we dedicate this 1961 Oak to you our class adviser, Mrs. Barbara Fowler. r -}Jfa3 ax At home in the kitchen. kiu u ii oind L fur mw iL aw marn f mULbi,HutUUH)rfi ' . , ) ill amJttlUuuZlLBUiU 4-iwOiS ijixaufiJiiuU, 5 f« 6i THE HANDS THAT SERVE 5 About our three years in training. If only our hands could speak. They ' d tell how they ' ve always been strong When the rest of our bodies were weak. They opened the door into training. They signed our names to the roll, They started pulling us forward To reach that far away goal. They struggled thru our elass work. Became skilled in nursing arts. Theij conquered each new achievement, We tried with hope in our heart. They held our lamps at Capping, With pride in what they had done. So far they had made us successful, And the battle was partially icon. Now they had earned the chance To really apply their skill. To do as much as they could, To comfort those who were ill. They prepared and gave medications, They bathed each patient with care, Gave support to each patient taking That first step from bed to chair. They held the tools for the surgeons. Gave food to the weak and the ill. Gave strength to the hands of the dying, And rubbed backs with comforting skill. They held the hands of the mothers With a child on the way. They comforted suffering children. And helped them again to play. They always worked to serve others. With no questions no delay. Never daring to falter. Now we ' ve reached Graduation l )ay. As our hands receive our diplomas. And the hands of our parents applaud. We ' ll know it was worth the effort. And our hands will keep on serving God. — Lucille Wbiglesworth Business Manager- D. D ' ADDIO Editor— W. CALVERT THE YEARBOOK STAFF Management and publication of a yearbook was to some of our staff members a relatively new experience. However, through class co- operation and utilization of advice from experi- enced hands we successfully met the press dead- line. The knowledge we gained was very profitable as well as the opportunity of working together in a new field. We would like to thank everyone who in any way contributed to the publication of this yearbook. So it is with great pleasure that we bring you the 1961 Oak. Seated, Left to Right — X. Stabler, C.

During the semester we are enrolled in chemistry, micro- biology, physiology and anatomy classes. In- formation gained both in the classroom and laboratory gives us material tor future reference when embarking upon medical-surgi cal classes at the hospital. Preparing a speci for under the microscope: And now for your undivided attention. EDUCATION BUILDING Within the two classrooms located in the Education Building along with the library we made our first exploration into the world of medicine. Professional ethics as well as basic procedures were first learned here so that with the onset of clinical experience our skills could be tested. Material from daily lectures bv doe- tors and instructors was absorbed and sealed in our memories as a storehouse of knowledge for the future. 16 SPECIALTIES OBSTETKICS In this department of the hospital robed in eye-catching Kelly green, we spent three mem- orable months. It was here that the wonder of birth was first unveiled to us and our hands soon became skilled in offering calm reassurance and giving tender loving care. We were enlightened about the world of the infant and soon became aware that each baby is indeed an individual even at this early stage of life. Working here was indeed an enjoyable experience for the joy- ous moments were many and rewarding and will hold a plate in our memories forever. Is it coming through loud and clear? This might feel a bit cold! How much docs it weigh? 17 SPECIALTIES— Continual PEDIATRICS Here we entered the domain of the child-not the well, healthy child but that of the ill one. We learned the responses of these small heings to their conditions and surroundings and how we could help to meet their needs. Growth and development was studied closely along with factors which may alter or delav it. Many little friends were made here, for when shown love, understanding, and honesty the children usually responded at once, in spite of their illnesses, with trust and faith. Whoops, something slipped! Saj ' heese. Are tin hot? 18 SPECIALTIES— Continued OPERATING ROOM In this world of bustling exactness and asepsis we are trained in skills to aid us in assisting the surgeons. We become familiar with the tools of his profession and the importance of sterility and the dividends it pays. Care of the immediate post-operative patient is also learned during the time spent in the Recovery Room. Ten minutes, girls Two way stretch. EMERGENCY ROOM Here all of our accumulated skills and knowledge are put to the test for we are confronted with cases which may range from minor surgery to soothing a frightened child. Speed and accuracy are essentials, so that in any real emergency, when time is precious not a second is lost in help- ing to administer aid. Routine check-up? W ' lio ' s the casualt) i We ' ll remember you always. ( lirciis I ). ( :li.n leston am one? WARREN Traveling to Warren State Hospital for affiliation in psychiatric nursing is a new experience. The intricacies of the mind are probed and we learn how to use techniques and approaches on the physically as well as the men- tally ill. 19 SPECIALTIES— Continued CDR Through training time spent here the student is made aware of the work behind the scenes and the various stages of preparation through which all hospital equipment is processed. She is enlightened on proper care of supplies and the methods of steriliza- tion and sanitation used. ■ Still or distilled? Exchange, please! DIET KITCHEN Here amidst a variety of special diets, principles of nutrition are em- ployed in order that the specific die- tary regime for each patient may be carried out. Experience is varied and ranges from serving travs to actual diet planning. What ' s cooking? Who ' s going to be the lucky recipient? Before. ■Uter. ISOLATION This unit of the hospital is strictly for patients who have infectious or contagious diseases. Medical asepsis in its truest form is learned here as well as precautions to take for the well-being of other patients and one- self. 20 SPECIALTIES— Continued SECOND SOUTH This wing of the hospital is used strictly for admission and care of the medical patient. Often times these patients are chronically rather than acutely ill, so routine care and meet- ing the needs of these patients is emphasized as well as steps towards rehabilitation. Miss Webster is the supervisor in charge of this unit. Preparing lor the nightly vigil. Turn every two hours, please] SECOND NORTH The north wings of the hospital are very similiar to one another in that there is no segregation of patients with regard to their medical classification of illness. Semi-private as well as private rooms are available on these floors. The supervision of this unit is under the direction of Miss Sander. Medication time. Routine admission. Scissors, please! Pre-operative preparation. THIRD SOUTH As Second South is devoted to medi- cal patients, Third South is specifically for the care of surgical patients. Here the student is indoctrinated in the principles of adequate pre-operative and post-operative nursing care. Em- phasis is also placed on aiding the patient to become independent so he is able to resume his pre-operative status as soon as possible. Mrs. Woodley serves as supervisor here. 21 SPECIALTIES— Continued THIRD NORTH Duties of supervisor on this north section arc carried out by Mrs. Heilig. Read} for report?

Its purpose is to deal with minor prob- lems which may arise from student living, pro- mote interest in S. N. A. P., and organize and provide a calendar of social activities. Officers for the year are as follows: Nancy Stabler — President, Peggy McClintock — Vice-President, Dina D ' Addio — 2nd Vice-President, Sandra Thomas — Recording Secretary, Marjorie Neff — Assistant Recording Secretary, Carole Kling — Treasurer, Carole Hoover — Parliamentarian, Joan Frank — Assistant Parliamentarian. S. N. A. P. Williamsport is one of seven schools which compose Area Four Student Nurses ' Association of Pennsylvania. Area participation during bi- monthly business meetings and the annual Mock Convention stimulates interest in the state and national organizations. Yearly conventions are held on each of these levels to which our school sends a representative. The valuable experience gained from participation in these events helps to prepare us for membership in the organiza- tions of the registered nurse, NLN and ANA. AREA 4 OFFICERS— N.

The choir is a popular extra-curricular activity among the students and requirements for mem- hership are only a willingness to attend rehears- als and the desire to sing. Direction is under the supervision of Mrs. Rial Hevd who originated the choir four years ago. Accompaniment is provid- ed by Carol Brickley, Xancv Stabler, and Jeanne SheafFer. Engagements during the year usually include appearances at local churches, providing entertainment for various hospital functions such as Capping, Graduation, the Christmas Party, and the annual carole sing throughout the hos- pital during the holidays. Once more with feeling! kr stuck again? SENIOR ' S SPOTLIGHT Raising sufficient funds in order to finance a banquet for the senior class and publish a year- book indeed posed many problems. However, working together as a class under the leadership of Wanda Calvert as President and Dina D ' Addio as Secretary-Treasurer we progressed success- fully to our final goal. Many happy memories which evolved from our various money making projects, entertain- ment created for various parties, and our gen- eral assemblies in the evenings will be treasured always. On these next few pages we have at- tempted to recapture but a few of these mem- orable times. Good haul, girls! Working hard? After a hard night ' s work — nourishment! Pillow talk. Mama Mia!

With the first year of training past we shed forever our probie tie, finished elasses in Nursing Arts, and began to gain confidence and pride in our growing accomplishments in the nursing profession. Rotation through the various specialities including the Diet Kitchen, Operat- ing Room, and Obstetrics began with our arrival as second year students. We had reached the mid-way point in our training, a position in which we had the respect and admiration of the first year class, but still had some growing-up to do before we were fully prepared to step up to occupy the position as senior class. Now, however, as the termination of our second year is about to become a reality, we are anxious to step up, assume the responsibilities, and try our wings as senior student nurses. Class officers chosen to lead us to bigger and b etter things are as follows: Ruth Ann Falck — President, Nan Hakes — Vice-President, Margie Neff — Secretary- Treasurer, and [oan Frank — Assistant Secretary-Treasurer. 33 Top Ron.

CLASS OF 1963 34 Mrs. Henninger — This is just a few of the girls. i Ready lor a bedtime story? Miniature United Nation Are you really Stud) ing? Our first months in training seemed to be a world composed chiefly of in- surmountable and never-ending studies. There were many adjustments we had to make, including living away from home, acquainting ourselves with many new friends, and regaining our equilibrium in a world which confronted us with new skills, techniques, and terminology to learn. After successfully completing our first six months of concentrated study and getting a taste of floor duty, we received our coveted caps and bibs. It was with great pride that we wore them on duty, and who could help hut sense our feeling of achievement. After establishing ourselves thus far, we began to center our attentions on functioning as a class. In elections we chose Mrs. Nancy Bergesen as Class Adviser. Officers chosen were a s follows: Jane hidings — President, Joan Dieffen- derfer — Vice-President, Karen Bierlv — Secretary, and Roberta Bliss — Treasurer. 35 HANDS The human body is a complex and wondrous structure composed of many in- tricate organs and systems all functioning together to make an individual. As the body grows, so grows the mind and with intellectual growth, skills and physical abilities increase. For the many young girls choosing the nursing profession for their career there is much to be learned and a great deal of body conditioning to be done. The hands alone are a major source of communication for the nurse with her patient. During first year student davs the hands are trained to seek out the essential but sometimes elusive pulse beat. Thev learn to feel the tenseness of bodv muscles and in turn give a soothing caress to im- part calm and reassurance. Procedures which require skill that comes from prac- tice are at first done with nervous and shaking hands so that oft ' times the patient instead offers reassurance to you. During the second year specialities are begun and once again there are new chal- lenges to be met. In the Operating Room the surgeon demands that your hand place the knife in his with just the correct de- gree of forcefullness. Obstetrics opens up a whole new world, that of the wonder of life. Your hands learn to feel the urgency of the contractions which are about to help issue a new being into the world. And upon his arrival you are prepared to handle him with tenderness, but you are confident for you know that this tiny being is not quite as fragile as he may appear. Pedi- atrics is a haven, where the ability to im- part by touch what often times can not be said with words pavs off in rich dividends. Perhaps most challenging of all is the Emergency Room where one is never sure what to expect, but be it administration of a quieting drug to someone writhing in pain or merely steadying a limb during the application of a cast, you are alwavs ready. And when the final day, of the final year, has arrived it is with great pride and confidence that you hold out your hand to accept vour diploma, for you know though it may quaver just ever so slightly then, it is fully prepared for what may lie ahead in your career as a professional nurse. 36 MARY ANN BALL Mount Carmel, Pa.

CAROL BRICKLEY wills her ability to slam the door every night without breaking it, to any- one who wants to go to bed early. CAROLE BROWN bequeaths to anyone with a lot of spare time, her many times spent on campus. WANDA CALVERT wills her propaganda used as class president to RUTH ANN FALCK. ARLA CROMLEY wills her patient waiting for a certain someone, to anybody with a fellow in the service. DINA D ' ADDIO by popular demand passes on her talents and abilities to bring Broadway to the nurses ' residence to anyone capable of filling her shoes. MARGE FINCH retires from behind the wheel and wills her job as chauffeur to anyone tak- ing a car with them to Warren. LINDSAY GOTTSCHALL hands down her books on Personality and Good-Grooming to the future Miss SNAP. HELEN HENNIGAN wills to any lucky individual, her frequent week-ends spent at home while in Warren. CAROL HOOVER donates her chapped hands and split fingernails acquired from scrubbing in the Operating Room to any future scrub nurse. CAROLE KLING and GLADYS ORME will their ability to get into fantastic situations with- out knowing how to get out of them, to anyone desiring an ulcer. SHIRLEY KYLE wills to JOEY SHEARER the ability to uphold her knack for practical joking. JOAN MARTIN gladly gives her desire for fourteen children to anyone who thinks they have the patience. GLORIA NACE passes on her ability to schedule a time for pictures which suits everyone, to the Chairman of the Photography Committee for the 1962 Oak. 1)() SOMERS hequeaths her gre) hairs to anj future nursing student who thinks train- ing doesn ' t have its frustrating moments. NANCY STABLER hands down her slightly used edition of Robert ' s Book on Parliamentary Procedure to PEGGY McCLINTOCK, incoming Student Government President. As a group we wish to pass on to all future classes our ability to carry on overwhelming sales campaigns, use our persuasive powers to our advantage, and most important of all — the ability to work successfully together for the benefit of our class. 55 Do You Remember? Mary Ann Ball remember when you refused to give Dr. Sanford the beat-up, old retractor that he wanted in the Operating Room, feeling sure he ' d rather have one of the newer ones? Guess they had a hard time convincing you it was supposed to be that way and was known as a malleable retractor. Carol Brieklev will you ever forget to turn off the water supply to the sterilizer again? Was your name first on the roll when Mrs. Hevd started recruiting swabbies? Carole Brown remember the shiner you acquired following your fall off the table in the Emergency Room? Was that Demerol too much or did someone forget about safety precautions? Wanda Calvert don ' t you wish you had been wearing your track shoes at Warren the day an active patient chased you around the ping-pong table trying to relive the, Private Lives of Adam and Eve. Aria Cromley should have been awarded a prize for efficiency and speed as a scrub nurse when assisting with an impending delivery. How- ever, didn ' t you forget one small item — to glove before handing the doctor the instruments! Dina D ' Addio did you need a refresher in anatomy the time you were trying to adjust the light for Dr. Louis Campana? Not too pleased with the results he informed you, This is Louis not Joe Campana! Marge Finch were you recruiting a new male student for our School of Nursing or just com- paring head sizes when the Director happened to walk in and interrupt? Didn ' t she feel the cap was very flattering to him? Lindsay Gottsehall will you forget the time while working in the Emergency Room you ad- mitted a patient of Dr. Hayes to Second South? You thought that ' s what the arrangements had been, but when the doctor arrived to inquire about the situation you learned a slight mistake had been made. The patient was psychotic and scheduled for admission to Danville State! Helen Hennigan did you find out that the bedpan sterilizer doesn ' t exactly make an ideal shower? Bet you won ' t forget to close the door the next time before turning it on. Carole Hoover remember the day you sent the garbage from Four South down to Central Supply to be autoclaved? It was! Carole Kling will you ever forget one busy day while rushing to empty a bedpan you al- most ran down Dr. Harrison? Thoroughly flust- ered and wishing to apologize quickly you re- plied, Oh, I ' m so sorry Mr. Harrison! Seems he remained calm and understanding, but you did some fast ad libbing. Shirley Kvle will von ever live down your answer on a test paper to the question — Pre- cautions of a pelvic examination. A nurse must be present if it is done on a female. Joan Martin do you remember the capers you cut following our spaghetti supper? Sure was delicious spaghetti, wasn ' t it? Gloria Nace remember the cold day at War- ren when during class vou put the apparently unclaimed coat King by your chair to good use? How were you to know that during class you ' d have an unexpected visitor come to claim it? A doctor at that! Gladys Orme we ' ll always remember your desire to be helpful. But what about the inci- dent in the Operating Room when Dr. Scherer called for. Help! to hold a patient on the table. Oh yes, Gladys intently busy preparing her set- up came through, or tried to, for she quickly scanned the instrument table in search of a help. Donna Somers I ' m sure the authors of Taber ' s Medical Dictionary would have been as shocked as Mrs. Bergesen was when you innocently asked the patient, to whom you were giving your first enema, if she could, feel the water sloshing around? Nancy Stabler remember your poor aim. or did the syringe just backfire, the time in the Operating Room when instead of cleaning the operative area with saline vou squirted Dr. Ging- rich in the eye? 56 Class Prophecy Computations made by expert astrologists through a careful study of the positions of the Zodiac signs led to the following conclusions concerning the Class of 1961.
