Class Poem

A NURSE'S FOOTPRINTS

A nurse's footprints go along

So brisk in early morn.

And leave behind a trail of foot prints

Trim — yet softly worn.

Footsteps quietly stealing into the sands of time

Striving for the great unknown

More mysteries seek to find.

Hidden secrets harbored within;

The drama of Life, ceaseless to end.

The miracle of Birth, the shadow of Death

With Wisdom and Strength courageously met.

The grief of Sorrow and laughter's Mirth.

Undying Love; God's peace on earth.

And so to God, our thanks we give

For each little footprint; A story lived.

With wakeful dreaming they face their task;

A high road of Faith is all they ask.

JOYCE BURGE

MOTTO

With wakeful dreaming we face our task, a

high road of faith is all we ask.

CLASS HISTORY

"Lilts of great men all remind us
we can make our liies sublime,

And, departing, leaie behind us
Footprints on the sands of time

Footprints that perhaps another.
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,

A forlorn and shipwrecked brother.
Seeing, shall take heart again."

My, how time does fly! It seems but yesterday that we were standing on the steps of the
Nurses' Home looking out toward our future.

Those first few weeks were filled with days of expectancy; days when our ambitions began
to take form and our dreams began to come true. Will we ever forget the day when we got a
change of wearing apparel — blue striped dresses with aprons and bibs, but no caps. Then there
was our first day on the wards when all of the patients looked at us and said, "I believe you are
new on the floor, aren't you?"

Soon our nine months of preliminary period was over. Nine months of going to and from
the college to take Sociology, the first class to go co-ed, and nine months of studying and won-
dering later if we had a brain of any sort! Capping exercises marked our progress to the point
where we were then considered a part of the hospital.

Our Junior year began with a narrow black band for our caps, more books and more re-
sponsibility. In that same year, the students of J. W. M. H. again attempted to make a go of
Student Government which meant a closer relationship between the faculty and the students —
more eleven o'clock passes per week and more restricitons. This was a word of which most of
us became more than vaguely aware. Someone was always lonesome or felt in a singing mood after
10:30 p.m., when all was supposed to be quiet. And occasionally, we just could not make it back
to the Nurses' Home by 11:00! This year was also filled with nights of selling any and every-
thing, especially hot dogs and lemonade to raise money for the Junior-Senior Banquet. Basketball
was another big feature which attracted the interest of the hospital staff and many of the indus-
trial employees of this city. It was our pride and glory to win second place in the league since
this was the first team in the history of James Walker.

Then came our Senior year marked by a wide black band and the beginning again of classes.
An important move this year was the Annual. Any means of raising money was gladly accepted
— including the selling of Christmas cards. The third floor annex was popular especially after
10:30 p.m., when we had our "bull sessions". We grew so close in the last few months that it
seemed like one big family, the thing that we had been striving for since entrance to the big new
Home.

Now that it is almost over, it hardly seems real — How could the time have passed so fast
We will always be in debt to our supervisors and instructors who had so much patience with us
in the learning process. And to our Doctors, our devotion could never be expressed in words, so
we will just say — "You're tops with us."

May we, as we leave, carry with us the high ideals and standards that we have learned in
these three years here at our Alma Mater.

ANNETTE NOBLES,

Historian.

LAST WILL

and TESTAMENT

X3V>"

We, the Senior Class of one-thousand nine-hundred and fifty-three of James Walker Me-
morial Hospital School of Nursing, Wilmington, North Carolina, being of sound mind and good
intent, do, hereby make this Last Will and Testament.

Knowing and appreciating the unparalleled love and affection the underclassmen have for us,
we feel that these valuable intellectual assets and sterling qualities of which we possess an inex-
haustable abundance, should be perpetuated and improved on by them.

Having taken and done thusly, we find that we still have among our remaining stores of ma-
terial possessions, as well as small trifles, which we each and singly do, hereby, bequeath to the be-
low-named persons in hope that the recipient may use the grant or gift to elevate herself to that
position which we Seniors have attained through our studious nature and who by reason of our
modesty, refuse anything of greater or higher glory or honor.
