Yearbook Staff When a student enters nursing school, many of her previous ways of life suddenly change or fall by the wayside. She begins a new way, of living each day to the fullest. Constantly meeting new people, she learns to share varied interests and ideas. Her concepts, philosophies and feelings broaden and expand as she experiences the many facets of her new chosen profession. Three years of priceless memories- -and suddenly what is left? To preserve these once is a lifetime moments, numerous long, hardworking hours were utilized by the few skilled and capable workers of the 1973 Oak staff.

Remember When . . . We used to fall asleep over our books and wonder how we made it this far! Martino came in and washed her mouth out with phisohex while lecturing herself in the mirror? We perched ourselves at the rehab side and took in the T-shirt soap opera! Lucas was learning to use the adressograph and experimented with Mrs. Haug ' s finger? We all raced up over the lawn at one minute to twelve exhausted from all of that dancing--or should we say all that shafting. You Heart Breakers ! ! ! Boonesfarm was our last reference used to help us finish our case studies? We used to flirt out our windows only to find they were calling on someone else! Our favorite fireman would ring the chimes right in the middle of our nap? The water battles used to make the maid think the drains were clogged! Two gentleman callers would meet for the first time, with the exception of Whit who could arrange three per night and always manage ! ! You ' d step from a nice refreshing shower to find your towel gone and giggling in the distance? The buddy system worked so effectively we stopped using it! Martino asked very inquisitively if we used real water to give baths? We gathered for those pow-wows and planned how we would take over the school! That favorite announcement, Men on the floor, used to start a rampage? We used a stethoscope to try to listen in on someone elses phone call? The circuit and MacDonalds were the last resort until we invented the Horny Toad! We had psych and how all of a sudden we had twenty- three Freuds in our class? The dance in Long and Lyon ' s room when everyone grooved to the beat, especially Flook who showed her true colors! We slammed our doors successively just to let Miss Zeigler know we were still there! Our parents used to send us our care packages? We made the annual move upstairs and were constantly reminded to leave all posters behind! The empty mail boxes used to muster a -?- ???! We ' d lower a hospital bed only to find it balancing on the paper can? The floor would be the coolest place in the heat of the night ? We prayed our evaluations would be better than we predicted? The hair on Zimmer ' s floor raised a question in the maid ' s mind--not to mention our own when we first looked in the mirror! Heiter was thought to be someone ' s mother and we tried to accommodate her? The nightly belly dance was the highlight of the evening — ruby and all ! We won the SNAP talent competition at Harrisburg and the warm reception we received upon return! Those charming painters who became very talented at painting without looking? 20
