The Class of 1974 presents The Oak BOTH SIDES NOW ' ' Tears and fears and feeling proud To say I love you right out loud Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I ' ve looked at life that way. ' Williamsport Hospital School of Nursing Williamsport, Pa. sr , ? Dear Mom, Dad, and Loved Ones, I ' ve been waiting three years to write this letter and dedicate the 1974 Oak to you for making my dream of a nurse possible. As a freshman in nurse ' s training, I needed more than determi- nation to continue. This is when I realized how important you were to me and all that you could and did give to me. When I was confused and afraid, you understood and made me understand my fears. You gave me advice. Your advice allowed me to work with my frustration and to mature with the knowledge I had gained. ■; m iM m ' WM 1 il kitrnd There were times I felt insecure and wondered whether I could ever make a responsible competent nurse. You reassured me that time, education, and experience would give me this fine quality. Your support renewed my hopes, and I continued to work. Last, but not least, your love for me never failed to give me that special happiness I needed. I knew that you were beside me each moment. At Graduation, I was proud and I knew you were too. I will work to help people as you have helped me. Thank you for everything. Love always, Your Graduate Nurse Pfc-i In Recognition As we entered training three years ago, you stood before us, tall and serene. You spoke with astounding knowledge and professionalism. You have been our friend, giving us inspiration, advice, and the courage to move on. How can we ever ex- press our gratitude for the love and understanding you have shown the class of 1974? In demonstration of our appreciation, we present to you the 1974 Oak. Mrs. Keller 1 ■ W - - ' In Recognition You arrived in our Junior year, bringing with you many new ideas and perspectives about nursing and our school. In becoming our advisor, you help- ed us gain confidence in ourselves as individuals and as a class. Thank you for your contribution to our philosophies of life and our profession. For these achievements, we recognize you in the 1974 Oak. Mrs. Steckiel Administration Board of Managers Mr. Harry Gibson Mr. Charles J. Stockwell Mr. Charles A. Schreyer Mr. John E.

Receptionists j. To Mrs. Manney, Mrs. Logan, Miss Zeigler, Mrs. Dick, and Mrs. Gramling, who have become our mothers away from home, we wish to express our sincere thanks. Even with their many duties, they still take time to lend us a word of advice or encouragement. Physician As the school physician, Dr. Hannen spends many hours list- ening to our complaints and treat- ing our aches and pains in an at- tempt to assure good health for all his nursing students. Secretaries Miss Reeder and Mrs. Bridges are two hard working women who dedicate many hours in typing tests, care plans, schedules, an- nouncements and other information with skilled precision. In Memory of Mrs. Ruth McCoy was a receptionist at our residence for many years. She was truly a HOUSE-MOTHER, willing to listen to a problem, share in a happiness, and watch her kids grow and learn to be nurses. She was a friend to all of us and was always ready to help us see the bright side of things. We all miss her, and we are proud to have been part of her life and to have had her a part of our lives. ACTIVITIES Student Organization The student organization gives us, as stu- dents, the opportunity to voice our opinions and helps to formulate the policies of the school. The organization sponsors social activities throughout the year: a dinner dance at Christ- mas and in the spring; an icebreaker, held in September; striping in the fall. Thanks- giving baskets are distributed to deserving families and a rummage sale was held forthe benefit of a former student afflicted with kidney disease. The Student Nurse of the Year Contest and various talent shows are also under their direction. The activit ies of our organization help to promote a social unity and a professional awareness among the students. OFFICERS AND ADVISORS: (L. to R.) K. Fisher, Pres. ; S. Parker, Parliamentarian; Miss Balliet, Adv. ; Mrs. Derr, Adv. ; C. Coder, Treas. (Absent) A. Miller, Sec. ; J. Lyons, V. Pres. 10 SNAP Student Nurse ' s Association of Pennsylvania is the student ' s professional organization which promotes the student ' s involvement in legis- lation, community action projects, money making projects and welfare. Students can attend monthly board meetings, annual Spring convention, state convention and national convention. This year Josie Lyons was selected by our student body as the Student Nurse of the Year. She went on to represent our school at the Spring Convention where she was chosen run- ner-up at the district level. Also at Spring Convention, Lonna Stroup was placed on the Area 4 board as Graduate Consultant. SNAP MEMBERS: (L. to R.) K. McNutt; K. Swanson; L. Stroup; Mrs. Rosencrance, Instructor; J. Lyons; (Absent) R. Russell; C. Coder. 11 Nurses ' Christian Fellowship NCF is an interdenominational group, meeting under the guidance of Miss Coup, our advisor. The weekly programs consist of buzz sessions, song times, guest speakers, Bible studies, and extensions to a home for the aged. At NCF, we find fellowship with other Christians, sharing our problems and our blessings. Our faith is strengthened in the Lord and we learn how to meet the spiritual needs of our patients. Chorus The chorus is a group of about 25 stu- dents who enjoy singing. Under the direc- tion of Anne Miller, they presented the annual Christmas Candlelight Service featuring several soloists and a trio. With the help of NCF, who added a spiritual touch to the program, the day was a com- plete success. 12 Social Committee Activities of the school year, such as the Christ- mas Dance, the Spring Formal and icebreakers are planned by a small group of students, known as the Social Committee. In an effort to provide an en- joyable activity for the student body, the commit- tee, with the help of Mrs. Derr and Miss Ziegler, turn a group of activities into reality. 13 Yearbook Staff •T I Three long years have passed so quickly. Throughout our nursing experience, we dealt with many ordeals which lead us to be what we are today. To keep up with the everchanging pace of life, we must continue forward into the f uture, but never forget our memories together. Through the numerous, hardworking hours of the few cap- able and skilled members of the 1974 Oak Staff, under the direction of the advisors Mrs. Dunkle, Miss Meikrantz, the co-editors, M. Haubert, and S. Cryder, these price- less moments have been preserved. UNDERCLASSMEN Freshman We have arrived at a time in our lives when we embark upon a road toward a new way of life. A- long this road is much training and new disciplines which tend to prepare us for decisions and responsi- bilities required in the future. As we move forward, we move closer to our goal while yet paving the way for those who follow, but ... we ' ve only just begun. OFFICERS AND ADVISORS: (L. to R. ) D. Moser, Treas. : R.

We expanded as nurses through experi- ences in the operating room. We were then able to watch patients progress through the use of chronic care facilities and therapies. The Psychiatric Nurs- ing course was highlighted by a trip to Danville. All three areas were represented through experience on medical-surgical floors. The social highlight for our class this year was organizing the doctor vs stu- dent basketball game, the procedes of which went to the SNAP organization. J. Anderson M . Banik S. Bennett L. B.

It was there our story began. Our first year was filled with busy schedules, long hours, anticipation and fears of what it means to become a nurse, meeting new friends and learning a whole new way of life. Is this what it means to be a nurse? Remember initiation, walks to the college, capping, Fundies lab, our talent show, WACC dances, the ministers supper, the seance, and all the goofy, wild, fun things we did in the residence. All in all, 1971 was a very good year! 23 Tears and fears and feeling proud . Dreams and schemes . . . I ' ve looked at life that way. ' 24 Our Junior Year When September 1972 arrived, we were a smaller but closer group. College courses over, we divid- ed into three groups to begin our specialties. All that we had learned in our freshman year began to tie together as we rotated through Surgery, Rehab, and Psych. Remember all those care plans, case studies, evaluations, and all the whys we had to answer? Re- member our week at Danville State, our Hootenanny, the late night rap sessions, little sisters, the Junior-Senior banquet, our obscene phone calls, the Doctor -Student Nurse basketball game, and NU- TRITION. It was during our Junior year that we began to realize what a nurse should be. 25 6 O NURSE DA H A . WRSE $ mik 26 But now old friends are acting strange. They shake their heads, they say I ' ve changed. But something ' s lost when something ' s gained in living every day. 27 Our Senior Year September 1973 — that magic date when the coveted title Senior Class of 1974 was ours! We en- tered our last year of specialties with enthusiasm and joy — the end was in sight! Neither the kids in Pediatrics, nor the mothers in Obstetrics, nor Nursing Five difficulties could stop us now. We were going to make it at last! And when we finished our summer course, Nursing Six, the transition from student to graduate would be completed. Remember our count down parties, our spaghetti suppers, karate lessons (well, the first one any- way), our contribution to the hospital Christmas party (ourselves), those last case studies, Lonna ' s brok- en nose, all those diamonds, water battles, those early A.M. phone calls, our card games, popcorn, hoagies, and all the festivities surrounding graduation. With three years behind u s, we now understand what it is to be a nurse. 28 29 30 I ' ve looked at life from both sides now, From win and lose, and still somehow, It ' s life ' s illusions I recall, I really don ' t know life at all. 31 Sandra Edith Beach Fools live to regret their words, wise men to regret their silence.
