Unselfishness is a quality few of us possess as deeply as it is found in Miss Jean Hender- shot. As an instructor at WHSN she has spent many hours both in and out of the classroom molding students toward their chosen careers in nursing. As advisor to NCF, Miss Hendershot has helped young men and women toward higher aspirations in a life of Christian living. Her door always remains open to those who come seeking help. As advisor to the Class of 1964, Miss Hen- dershot has devoted many of her off duty hours in service for the betterment of the class. During the past three years she has been teacher, friend, counselor and our constant source of strength. In appre- ciation for a job well done, we dedicate the 1964 Oak to you Miss Jean Hendershot, to you who has been so influen- tial in our journey toward a star.

FOREWORD Minute by minute and day by day, we have progressed steadily toward our star. Fondly we recall many golden memories. From high school a class of forty-three graduates slowly started to plot a course toward mature adult- hood in a nursing career. Truly we have seen life in its entirety following man ' s progress from his birth to his death. In obstetrics we wit- nessed the miracle of life, a tiny seed which begins to grow toward a star. In pediatrics we saw these in- fants growing and develop- ing into adolescents, then becoming mature adults. Medical and surgical experience brought us in contact with many people, some who have reached their star and others who still struggle toward a goal in life. Each of these pa- tients has shared individual vocations, avocations, as- pirations, joys and fears. Each step brought us closer to our own ambitions. Along this climb our jour- ney has been enriched through contact with fellow students, teachers, admin- istrators and patients. Truly this aim of graduate nurse which we have strived so diligently to achieve is a star of life. As we step atop the pinnacle of this, our destiny, it is possible to see a galaxy of stars, some near, some far — yet all beckoning.
