Things We’ve l~[eavcl cruel Seen
Things we’ve heard and seen
Would fill the James River;
“Suture, please, Nurse!!
I’m sewing up the liver.
“Baby, this ain’t the O.R.,
So get those stirrups right,”
“But Drs. Suggs and Robins—
It’s awful late at night.”
A tiny bundle from “Heaven?”
Just came into our midst—
“Take this blasted bottle, Tou,
Stop chewing on your fist.”
R-ring—“Send a spoon to second.”
“We’re starting third floor;”
“Last night the U2 tray was cold;”
Diabetics by the score.
“Nurse, give me a glass of water—
And oh! the bedpan, please—
And a hypo for my gas pains—
A pillow for my knees.”
The night was dark and dreary,
The elevator creeping near;
Then out stepped Mrs. Clayton,
“Everything all right—up here?”
“SHFIH—Remember the night nurse.”
“Now who has borrowed my blue dress?”
“Hey, catch that buzzer for me please—”
My dates are less and less.
These things we’ve heard and seen,
We’ll remember through peace or strife;
For they were at Stuart Circle—
Where we spent the best years of our life.

Kecipe For a Junior
It takes a lot to qualify—
To be a super Junior—SIGH
If you don’t know just how it’s done
Then listen close, it’s lots of fun.
You have to be an all round sport,
On O. B., 3rd floor or a tennis court,
At work, at play and classes too—
In fact in every thing you do.
You have to take an active part,
In all campaigns the students start,
Whether it’s dances or picnics at Byrd Park,
At early dawn or after dark.
And now to turn to subjects bright—
As hen parties and such late at night,
You see you simply must get by
With a trick or two quite on the sly.
It wouldn’t be sad to leave this school—
And never feel detentions rule,
Or feel your heart beat as it falls—
When Mrs. Gard says, “The office calls.”
But over all, remember this—
These are the years the most we’ll miss;
So let’s do it up right—it’s late!!
’Cause only too soon we graduate.

History of pernor Qlass
All great events of history should be recorded and to each member of
the Class of 1950 the following events have a special meaning and sig-
nificance. We arrived the first day of September just in time to sec the
Senior Class graduate. So with the idea, “in three years it will be us,”
we started forth with grim determination.
We spent a long month and a half doing bookwork before we were
allowed to don the white uniforms we had been dreaming of for years.
Two hours a day were spent in the bewildering confusion of “ectomies”
and “otomys” in which it took all our imagination to sec ourselves as a
useful part. The remainder of our day was spent in learning the basic
principals of our work. We trudged down West Avenue each day to
class at RPI where the realms of anatomy, physiology, and chemistry
were introduced to us. Even though we didn't think so then, we did do
something other than go to class. The Juniors gave us a party and a
dance to welcome us. This and the newness of the dormitory life helped
keep us from becoming homesick. (Isn’t that right, Lola.)
In October, we held our first class meeting to elect officers. They were
as follows: Frances Gasser, president; Lucy Fort, vice-president; Sara
Squire, student council representative; and Colecn Cicek, secretary-
treasurer, and Miss Virginia Anderson as our sponsor. At this time we
made our first attempt to burst forth into society by giving the tradi-
tional Halloween Party. We transplanted a graveyard to the basement
of Laurel Hill House and took no mercy on our guests.
Before we realized it Christmas had crept up on us. We were all busy
trying to plan how to get the most out of those short seven days of
vacation. The night before the first group of us left we celebrated with
a party, complete with caroling. For the half of the class who had their
vacation at New Year’s, a happy if somewhat homesick Christmas was
spent at the hospital. This was cur first experience of the eight hour day.
After Christmas we buckled down to studying for the mid-terms
which we knew were inevitable. Life wasn’t all darkness however, we
were thrilled when we were allowed to wear caps to have our pictures
taken for the first edition of “The Laurel.”
February 1, we added five new members to our class. They were as
follows: Margaret Shugart, Lillie Hottie, Ruby Hall, Donna Swaim,
and Delores Langston. Soon after this, Ruth Talley transferred from
another hospital and was to add her name to our class, which was the
largest at Stuart Circle at that time. Within a short while, it seemed as
though they had started out with us.
At last the big day came—March 1, 1948. We all received our caps
and set forth with renewed hope that we could become nurses after all.
[30]
As was traditional, several times we arrived on duty without our cap.
(Parsons, try putting it on the night before when you go to bed.)
On April 23, we gave our first dance which was a huge success. No
dance since has had such unusual decorations or such an attractive
violin player. April was also memorable because we started on our
special services. Every class is remembered by its mistakes and we were
no exception. It was surprising how many diet slips could fall through
that crack in the elevator floor. (Wasn’t it Sara?)
At last June rolled around and classes came to a halt. We began to
eagerly await our vacations. We wouldn’t have believed it if you had
told us we would miss training but we did. Around this time the new
students came for orientation and we were delighted when they couldn’t
tell us from Juniors or Seniors.
Before we had realized it, September had arrived again and we were
Juniors. We elected the following class officers: Theresa Curley, presi-
dent; Nellie Harsh, vice-president; Frances Gasser, student council rep-
resentative, and Audrey Ritchie as secretary-treasurer. Classes and study
hall began and with the fantastic idea that the first year of training was
by far the worse, we buckled down to study.
Soon after our second Christmas, members of our class started to trek
to Phi 1 ly for three months affiliation. We still dream of ward classes and
meal tickets. In the spring, we started going to Charlottesville. Two
things still are puzzling—how did I escape unnoticed and where did
they find those mattresses?
September rolled around again and this time we were Seniors. We
didn't feel like it but the holes in our uniforms convinced us that if we
weren’t, we should have been so. We stopped worrying. This time, our
class leaders were: Nellie Harsh, president; Sara Squire, vice-president;
Lillie Hottie, student council representative, and Paige Law, secretary-
treasurer.
The Christmas pageant which was given our third and last Christmas
had several of our more talented class members in it. Everyone said
it was very good and we even got our picture in the paper. February
16, we had a pajama party in the living room. Everyone enjoyed them-
selves, corny jokes, smoke, and all.
In March, we began to do some serious thinking about graduation.
The annual problem of June versus September came up. We were de-
lighted when the board decided it should be in September. We would
like to thank Miss Schmidt and any others who helped make this possible.
This just about concludes the history of our class. It is by no means
complete, but it would be impossible to include all the individual details
which mean so much to each of us. As we are about to close the door
on this phase of our life and go on to a new one, we realize that even
with all the ups and downs, there isn’t much we would change about
the three years we spent together if we could.

A patient speaks
“Funny isn’t it—when you least expect to, you start thinking
of people you haven’t seen for years.
“.Now for instance—I’m waiting for Mrs. Jerrell (formerly
Virginia Opheim) to come take me for my treatment. When
I start to think about those lovely Stuart Circle nurses who
affiliated here years ago. I don’t get out often but I hear a great
deal of news here—whether it’s true or not—maybe you can tell
me.
“Sara Squire is married now, but the bank job didn’t pay off
and so she is teaching ballet for extra cash—her two most prom-
ising pupils are Vicky and Vice Versa (their mother, formerly
M. Shugart, is quite a dancer herself).
“I saw in the Society Newspaper yesterday where Mrs. Great-
head (L. Diehl) entertained her bridge club with a luncheon.
Mrs. Jennings (C. O’Neal) received the prize for high score and
Mrs. Dorsey, consolation prize. Mrs. Dorsey was Paige Law.
She and her husband certainly are a happy couple—I hear they
work hand in hand.
“Patti Joyner is still trying to make up her mind about saying
‘I do’ without her mother’s consent. Aw—come on P. J.!
“N. Harsh came to see me the other day and told me all about
her experiences in the wilds of Africa, where she is a missionary.
She said she had seen F. Gasser—seems as if she got kicked out
of the Navy Nurse Corp (she was an Admiral, you know) be-
cause of noise or something and is now teaching nursing arts at
a school in India.
“E. Coghill loved O. B. so much, or was it the Doctors, I’ve
forgotten which; well, anyway she loved the fourth floor so much
she can hardly keep away from it. I don’t see how he feeds the
ten children, ‘Coggie’?
“Audrey Ritchie, the quietest girl in the senior class is still
working at times at Stuart Circle but most of the time is taken
up with housekeeping and looking after her small son.
“Chapman, voted the most likely to succeed has really lived
[33]
(yjfrophecy -

up to her title—is being married for the fourth time to Foreign
Prince.
“Lilly Hottie’s love for Canasta finally got the best of her.
She has now written a book called ‘The Art of Playing Canasta,
On the Floor, After hours’ and is teaching

professionally at
“R. Hall and D. Swain have started a Beauty Success Course
and are now using some of the procedures learned in nursing
arts class—they have as models, two Stuart Circle beauties—
J. Parsons and D. Langston. Parsons models the before and
Langston, the after, Parsons gave up her position at the Uni-
versity of Virginia Hospital to do this.
“M. E. Fisher is in charge of the Public Health Nursing
Service in North Carolina and has as her able assistant L. Fort.
Together, they have taught the people of North Carolina how
healthy it is to wear shoes—I hear they have 50% of the popu-
lation wearing them now.
“Mr. and Mrs. Art Thomas and their contented cows are
really keeping Carnation in business. They just won the prize
for being the largest dairy producers in the South.
“I recently read L. Gillespie’s book, ‘Mantrap’—think I’ll try
it honey!
“Margaret Johnson, who has just finished making up her lost
time, has gone to Florida; where she plans to do absolutely noth-
ing—good occupation.
“T. Hostetter was in yesterday for a talk with her psychiatrist,
Dr. Gamble. Someone told her she had she had a warped per-
sonality years ago—and it bothered her so—until the Dr. told
her it was just the people with whom she associated.
“T. Curley is still partying and a partying and working in her
free time at SCH.
“ I hear that they had to put in a new telephone after L. Land
left training. The old one wore out with all those boys calling
her—who finally won Lola? The boy next door?
“Bea Crabtree worked a year at Tuckers, but gave up her job
for marriage. How’s Baby Mabie ‘Crabie’?
“Gee! I just woke up from my shock treatment, or did those
things really happen?”

What will become of
Your Fortune?
You don’t have a fortune, you say? Well most people don’t, but a simple
exercise in multiplication will amaze you.
Write your yearly income on a slip of paper and multiply it by the number of
years you will have worked by the time you retire. Unbelievable, isn’t it?
You, and nearly all working people, will have earned a fortune by the time you
retire, yet far too many people let their fortunes slip through their fingers like grains
of sand, making it remarkably clear that their savings plans went amiss.
After all. it’s the money we save that counts, and the most convenient and secure way to save is through
life insurance. Any one of Atlantic’s endowment, annuity, or retirement plans can assure you a comfortable
retirement fund for your later years.
Be sure you know what will become of your fortune by investing a part of all you cam in life in-
surance. Then, it’ll be yours to keep.
