To our families, The people who have given us the love and support we so desperately needed during these past three years. On Fridays, exhausted and weary, we eagerly brought ourselves home to you. Then on Sundays, re- freshed and new, we reluctantly said good-bye and returned to school. You gave us encouragement when we thought we could not possibly make it through another day. We remember all the times you were there so we could lean on you for support . . . you were always so strong. We wish to thank you for allowing us these years to grow and mature. We will be indebted to you forever. With our love, The Class of 1985

I MOVING IN, MOVING UP, MOVING OUT . . . How exciting! A perfect description of our three years at The Williamsport Hospital School of Nursing. During our last year here, we pause to reflect on all the growing and maturing that occurred to transform us into the beginning professional nurses that we are today. When we started as Fresh- men, moving in was one of the most traumatic experiences of our lives. After a few weeks, we began to feel like nurses as we started our first clinical experiences. Back then, we were in awe of the Juniors and Seniors. At last our Junior Year arrived. We were now the awesome Juniors, and we vowed never to return to our Freshmen year even for a million dollars. Our first term became another traumatic experience for us all . . . we were separated into three small groups. There was no more hiding in the back of the classroom. For the first time, the instruc- tors could actually see everyone ' s face. Our fondest memories are of all the fun we had in our Mental Health, Surgery and Rehab courses. We all strived to obtain the honored title of Senior Student Nurse. Finally, we are Seniorsl We feel both excitement and trepidation as we begin our last school year. As we finish our education at TWHSN and graduate, we are eager to begin our new lives as professional nurses. We invite you to page through The Oak with us as we relive our experiences of MOVING IN as Freshmen MOVING UP as Juniors; and the ultimate, MOVING OUT as graduates of The Williamsport Hospital School of Nurs- ing. -!$ v.jf; ,.• ' H - ¥ ' r VIM The Williamsport Hospital School of Nursing Presents the 1985 OAK Williamsport, Pennsylvania 17701 %

Always there to help! The Class of 1985 wish to give recognition to our Class Advisors, Ms. Hood and Mrs. Dunkle. Both of you have given us a great deal of motivation and encouragement throughout our three years at The Williamsport Hospital School of Nursing. You have guided us to reach farther than we thought possible. You also made us realize that we truly can reach our goals and aspirations. You have been our instructors and colleagues, but, most of all, you have been our friends. We have talked with, cried with, and grown with Ms. Hood and Mrs. Dunkle throughout these three years. We will never forget the kindness you have shown to each and every one of us. We hope that someday we will be able to repay both of you for your kindness.
