Sing Along with ' 62 The Williamsport Hospital School of Nursing WILLIAMSPORT, PENNSYLVANIA Miss Shirley Romig J DEDICATION Who does one turn to when advice is needed? It is far easier to face one ' s problems if there is a conscientious person whose clear and unbiased opinion aids others in deciding the most logical path of action. For the past year our adviser has helped us to cope with our problems as a class. But to function in this capacity, only, is a very limited area for a person holding her position. She has not only advised us as a class of stu- dents but also has counseled us as individuals which is tantamount to the requisites of her requirements. This, our yearbook, we dedicate to you, Miss Shirley Romig. APPRECIATION Appreciation, what docs it mean to you? Your reply would probably be that it has many different meanings to different people. The reasons for these differences in opinion is that many personality traits come into play when analyzing the meaning of appreciation. The class of 1962 has manifest their appreciation in many and varying ways. Our highest regards go to our parents who with their unselfish love and sacrifice has made possible this, the finale of our three years of training. Through our trying years of classroom and unit work, our faculty has aroused in us the desire to accept the true consideration and responsibilities of a nurse. One of the basic elements to secure a good foundation for a future nurse i to have a strong curriculum. The person who has seen to this important facet of our education is Miss Anna Pfaff, our director. Every hospital has the desire to stay abreast of the times. To maintain this peak of efficiency in administration, Mr. Paul Wedel has worked con- scientiously to provide our hospital with modern materials and facilities. The vital importance of nurse-patient relationships was fully brought to our attention by the supervisors and clinical instructors. We were given the opportunity to put to use our accumulated knowl- edge which we acquired through the patient and understanding instructions of the doctors, residents and interns. The Alumnae Association further completed our graduation activities with the annual banquet and dance in our honor. The success of our student projects was made possible through the willing support of the hospital employees. The cooperation which was gained by the resident director and house- mothers from the students has made our residence one which to be proud. The availability of information concerning student functions was made known to the public by Mr. William Harris, our public relations director. Photography is an important asset to a yearbook, and this ability which Mr. George Renninger possesses has made our yearbook a success. Mrs. Byerly who was our former adviser and assistant educational director, helped counsel and teach us during our first year of training. The typing and clerical work done by Miss Reeder was at all times prompt and accurate when she was requested to have it available. Our appreciation of these people can not be expressed in mere words, but in our thoughts and feelings we hold for them. FOREWORD Soft melodies drift lightly amid the oak leaves of our yearbook, as we dreamily reminisce. There — like a soft summer breeze, we can see the days gone by, lingering in the shadows. 1959-1960. The first step on our musical scale — feelings of joy as we first ventured into our newly chosen career. Happiness — in the delight of helping others in the little ways we were able. Sadness — as carefree high school days gently faded away into days of more meaningful purpose. 1960-1961. Our Junior year — we found our- selves halfway up the musical scale and nearer to our goal. Eagerly, with a song in our hearts and the courage to do, we went forward to newer and greater accomplishments. 1961-1962. We have finally arrived! The scale is completed, and we will soon go our separate ways, climbing to still greater horizons, learning, teaching, but most of all truly nursing, the goal we have held so dearly in our hearts. Join with us, the Class of 1962, and SING ALONG through the pages filled with memorable events which we will treasure forever. Student nurses are found everywhere, underneath, on top of, running around, jumping over or slithering past patients ' beds. Doctors yell at them, head nurses criticize them, interns tolerate them, residents over- look them, mothers worry about them, and patients love them. A student nurse is courage under a white cap, a smile in snowy white, strength in starched skirts, energy that is endless, the best of young womanhood, a modern Florence Nightingale. Just when she is gaining poise and prestige, she drops a glass, breaks a syringe, or steps on a doctor ' s foot. A student nurse is a composite. She eats like a team of hungry interns, and works like the whole nursing staff put together. She has the speed of a gazelle, the strength of an ox, the quickness of a cat, the endurance of a flagpole sitter, and the abilities of Florence Nightingale, Linda Richards, and Clara Bar- ton all rolled into one white uniform. To the head nurse, she has the stability of mush, the fleetness of a snail, the mentality of a mule, and is held together by starch, adhesive tape, and strained nerves. To an alumna, she will never work as hard, carry more trays, make more beds, or scrub on more cases than her predecessors. A student nurse likes days off, boys her own age, the OR. affiliations, certain doctors, pretty clothes, her roommate, mom and dad. She ' s not much on work- ing 3-11, days off with class, alarm clocks, getting up for roll call, or eating corn beef every Tuesday. No one else looks forward so much to a day off or so little to working 3-11. No one else gets so much pleasure from straightening a wrinkled sheet or wet- ting a pair of parched lips. No one else can cram into one little head the course of a disease, the bones eomprising the pelvis, what to do when a patient is in shock, how to insert a Cantor tube (especially at 3 A. M. ), plus the ten top tunes of the hit parade. A student nurse is a wonderful creature; you can criticize her. but you can ' t discourage her. You can hurt her feelings, but you can ' t make her quit. Might as well admit it, whether you are a head nurse, doctor, alumna, or patient, she is your personal rep- resentative of the hospital, your living symbol of faith and sympathetic care.

FROM THE END TO THE BEGINNING One of the greatest joys we have experienced in our past three years occurred that memorable day. May 29, 1961, when we finally walked through the doors of our new nurses ' residence. This milestone marked THE END for the three residences that housed us for many years, and THE BE- GINNING of living in luxury. Now we are able to live together as a class and work to- gether as a team. Social functions we look forward to long- ingly are now a reality. The new classrooms and the library provide us with greater facilities for learning. We are deeply grateful to administration, physicians, alumni, nursing staff, auxiliary, and the whole community for their contribution to this residence.

The first verse began on September 8, 1959 as forty-one eager and strong- minded individuals began their first day of Nurses ' Training. These individuals are our Class of 1962. Following Registration and Orientation on Sep- tember 8th, we were taken to the Maples and Camp- bell St. residences, where Mrs. Aderhold and Miss Metz tried to acclimate us to our new homes. Our big sisters, members of the senior class, also helped to relieve some of our fears. Our first 6 months were devoted to Lycoming College and class room study, where we were in- troduced to the basic principles to use. Then on February 12 the great moment came, when we donned our caps and bibs and our probationer days had ended. From this time on we eagerly worked to earn our first stripe. On September 7. 1960 we began the second verse of Memories. We received our second stripe which marked one year of training behind us. The number of our singers was now 28. We spent most of our second year in specialties and Medical-Sur- gical block. We also broadened our knowledge of the human mind during our three months affiliation at Warren State. We were fortunate to have Mrs. Audrey Byerly as our Class Adviser. We elected class officers. Ruth Ann Falck — president; Nan Hakes — vice-president; Marjorie Neff — secretary-treasurer; and Joan Frank — assistant secretary-treasurer. Our major class projects were bake sales, selling stuffed animals, and an intern-student basketball game. We also used our floristry talents and made corsages for the mothers of the graduating class. In February Mrs. Byerly left the faculty due to the arrival of little Brion. We then chose Miss Shir- ley Romig as our adviser. Our big project was planning a banquet for the Class of 1961. On May 29th we moved into our new residence and lived as a complete class for the first time. On September 7. 1961 we received our third stripe and wore it proudly as seniors. The number of singers was now 24. As seniors we started on projects for our yearbook. We had bake sales, a car wash, a turkey and ham raffle, spaghetti supper, and sold corsages for capping. From January on preparations for graduation were under way. Now on this graduation day we each hold in our hearts our own special memories of what these three years held for us. As we end our song we extend to all the following graduation classes success and happiness. The chorus of Memories was held in Medical Hall, September 7. 1962 and each mem- ber of the chorus took their place in society as nurses. 14 S5 ftV ' Mr. Sandman ' PAULINE DIAN AUNKST Watsontown, Pa.

As we are approaching the halfway mark, in training at Williamsport Hospital, we can look both in the past and into the future concerning our accomplishments and ambitions. We ' ll never forget how hard we worked those first months last year. Classes both at Lycoming College and here in the nursing school required long hours of seemingly endless study. In addition we were introduced to work on the departments with patients. True, we learned to work, but in addition our lives were supplemented with many other activities in the nurses ' home. Finally, last February we were rewarded with those coveted caps and bibs, which we consider the most meaningful landmark thus far in our career. There are challenging projects in the future both scholastically as well as pleasure wise. As we began our second year we started to plunge headlong into our specialties. Here we broaden our knowledge in specific areas. We have been very successful with our money- making projects, and have high hopes of steadih increasing our treasury. As the Freshman students entered, we quickly carried out our first major proj- ect of selling book covers. Next come the project of sweatshirts with the hospital insignia on them. To our credit we have two very profitable bake sales and promises of more to come. We have been very fortunate to have Mrs. Nancy Bergesen, our elected Class Adviser, to guide us through our ventures. To work with her we elect- ed the following officers: Jane Iddings. President; Joan DiefTenderfer. Vice-President: Karen BieiK. Secretarx : and Roberta Bliss. Treasurer. Their chewing-gum lost its flavor. Countdown- AOK! CLASS OF 1964 Top Row.

September 1. 1«)( 1 — Fort) -three apprehensive individuals were ramsacking closets, emptying draw- ers, and sitting on suitcase lids in preparation for a new venture at the Williamsport Hospital School of Nursing. Main were the activities planned to ac- climate us to this new undertaking. As many new friendships began to bud. we donned our stylish dresses and white gloves to be presented by our big sisters at a tea held in our honor. Changing the pace, we motored to the Lycoming Count) Sportsmen ' s Club for an afternoon of swimming in the cool waters of the Loyalsock, competing in vol- leyball and baseball on the green, and devouring a hardy meal prepared by the facult . Aches and pains would long be reminders of the fun and frolic. Orientation over, classes went into full swing, and autumn became manifest as we journeyed to the college for our first semester. Our nights were filled with dreams of bed making, skinning pussy cats and recognizing Proteus vulgaris under a mic- roscope. A memorable day for all was in mid-October. when we made our debut in actual nursing practice. ith the approach of winter snow, scenes changed. During this time the freshmen enjoyed man all school functions, and shared a few anxious da s during finals at Lycoming College. Thus, the first chapter in our nursing career has concluded with main new friendships, ideas and ideals. 45 Don ' t anyone snt ' cze. ' Compact apartments Do You Remember?

Ten more minutes! 46 Teach me tonight CURRICULUM LYCOMING COLLEGE Where did you get your surgeons ' license? Affiliation with Lycoming College, where we studied the basic sciences will long hold a place in our memory. How well we remember those long, cold walks! The cab company was a life saver many snowy mornings! Each day we saw our textbooks come to life in the laboratory as we experimented with chemicals, cultured organisms or studied the structure and functions of the human body. Knowledge gained here will be of great benefit as we continue our chosen profession. EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Practice makes perfect ! Wisdom is to the mind what health is to the body ROCHEFAUCOULD. With our modern tools, including a library, demonstration class- room and top instructors, the student cultivates the arts of a good nurse to be applied on the units. Professional ethics and medical-surgical techniques are among the many principles incorporated into the mind of the future ideal, graduate nurse. ( !i m aching head! 48 OPERATING ROOM During our nine weeks ' experience in the operating room we were under the guidance of Miss Wolfe. Through assisting the surgical team as a circu- lating nurse, and eventually being a scrub nurse, we became familiar with the fundamentals of sterile technique and the skills required in modern sur- gery. The Recovery Room experience gave us an opportunity, to further our under- standing of the immediate post opera- tive care of the surgical patient. People who like people use Phisohex ' Pa.-s that suture down the line. OBSTETRICS Labor and delivery, the nursery, and the postpartum unit comprise the ob- stetrical department. In three months, we learned, taught, and shared (as best we could I the experience of mother- hood. We were acquainted with the de- velopment of the fetus, his journey to the world outside, the beginnings of life — associated with emotional fathers. Particularly in this specialty we ob- served the importance of the family unit and how it can be applied in every day situations of our nursing career, and in our own lives. Mother, Baby, and me made three! One hundred and twenty ounces of fun. Oh no ou don ' t ! Well you don ' t have to watch, do you? PEDIATRICS An entirely different aspect of nurs- ing was encountered when we entered Pediatrics. It was here we assumed not onlj the role of a nurse, but that of a mother. Through our studies of growth. development and the dynamics of child- hood diseases, we were better able to aid these children in their home away from home. not only by applying our nursing skills but 1 administering much Tender Loving Care. 49 WARREN The upperclassmen told us many un- usual tales about the care of the mental- ly ill patient. Our fears were alleviated when we had an opportunity to study the dynamics of psychiatric illness and actually work with the patients. Our affiliation afforded us an oppor- tunity to meet and become friends with many students from other hospitals. Working with these students and par- ticipating with them in the planned ac- tivities of the hospital was a wonderful experience. Oh just a few napkins! The world ' s greatest WHAT?? EMERGENCY ROOM The month spent in EMR taught us how to cope with medicine and surgical problems which arise without warning. Here we put to use many of the skills we acquired all through training, especially that of learning to remain calm and pro- fessional at all times. Here we felt a very vital part of the team working for the welfare of the patient from an acute- ly ill patient to soothing a crying child. Not the whole face, please, just the eyes! Now what did I forget? It ' s all in the bag! Dart practice coming up! ISOLATION Here we put to practice our knowl- edge of epidemiology learned in com- municable nursing. Work on this unit requires constant recollection of general facts concerning the spread of com- municable diseases. Practicing princi- ples of aseptic techniques, we became aware of the necessity of self protection as well as safe guardance of the health of our patients. 50 Hail! Hail!

THE OAK STAFF Many melodies were the outgrowths produced by The Oak Staff as they prepared this 10th edition of The Oak. Sounds of paper rustling, erasures, and type- writers, were those of the editorial staff as they planned the layout, proof-read articles, captioned pictures, and raced to meet the deadline. The con- stant echo of the subscription committee, Buy now avoid the rush later! was heard throughout the residence and hospital. Along with this echo went the patter of footsteps as the advertising committee collected ads. The saying. Lights. Camera. Ac- tion. belongs to none other than the photography committee. The snappy melody of cameras was produced as this committee gathered photographs for the yearbook. The Editors wish to thank everyone who con- tributed in any wa toward the publication of The Oak. We hope future classes will continue to meet with such success. 52 STUDENT-FACULTY ORGANIZATION The Student-Faculty Organization, composed of the entire student body and three faculty advisers, meets monthly. The organization is designed to serve as a link between the students and the faculty. The students discuss problems concerning student living, devise and implement a social calendar of events and promote interest in S. N. A. P. The officers elected for 1961-1962 include: President First I ice-President Second Vice-President Secretary - Assistant Secretary Treasurer ■ Parliamentarian Assistant Parliarnt ntarian Peggy McClintock Roberta Bliss - Linda Barner Joan Frank Nancy Martin - Joan Tomlinson Marjorie Neff Karen Bierly The meeting will now come to order!

Our main source of contact with students from other nursing schools is through our S. N. A. P. organization. The Student Nurses Association of Pennsylvania is divided into seven areas, we are a member of area No. 4. Bi-monthly meetings, a Mock Convention, state, and national conventions, enable our students to broaden their outlook on nursing. The meetings serve as a form of diversion and at the same time we share our ideas with other students, and we are aided in the same manner. S. N. A. P. CORRESPONDENT— Joan Tomlinson in action.
