Nurses Nervous
On First Day
Of Hall Duty
“That will be all for today,”
said Miss Bohls. That was a mild
way of putting it because we were
all fearful and apprehensive as
we gathered our books for our
trip to the dorm. We wern’t in our
usual mood or manner of action,
you might say, as we didn’t stop
for our usual “coke” at the drug
store. We had been given our
week’s assignment of real hall duty
where we had to put to practice
on human beings what had taken
us seemingly generations to learn
on Mrs. Chase and Scarlet, our
demonstration dummies.
Voices rang high as the first
girls to go on duty came back
after a lifetime of one hour. Mis-
takes, blunders, and forgotten pro-
cedures were all they could re-
port. They finally admitted that
all that happened was very inter-
esting and amusing, especially to
doctors and nurses who could tell
by looking at them that they were
as green as they come.
Now after a month of hall duty,
situations take a definite pattern
and come more naturally. We
realize that we can’t gain know-
ledge, poise, and perfection in such
a short time but we shall keep
striving for the goals of nursing
perfection.
Recreation Committee
Gives Costume Party
Had you been on the campus of
Scott and White School of Nursing
the evening of October 28, you
might have wondered at the
strange figures seen there. Perhaps
you encountered a little colored
girl, a Paris fashion model, or
even a football player, complete
with uniform. If you’re wondering
what the occasion was, it was a
Halloween Costume Party, given
by the Recreation Committee of
the Student Association. Prizes
were awarded for the best cos-
tumes and first place was taken
by Mrs. Brown’s two boys, who
were in full Halloween regalia.
Second prize winner was Peggy
(Posey) Logan, attired as a little
colored “gal” ith pig-tails all over
her head. Third prize went to
Doris Jean Stewart. A description
of her costume was exemplified by
her name “You Name It”. Follow-
ing the “beauty contest” refresh-
ments of pop-corn, candy, bubble-
gum, and cokes were served to
the group, after which the movie
“Song of Bernadette” was shown.
All who attended had a wonderful
time and are looking forward to
the next entertainment.
Drownings take the lives of
6,500 people a year in the United
States.

Nurses Choose
Dot Williams As
Girl Of The Month
A sparkling personality, a friend-
ly smile, a keen sense of humor,
intelligence, and a variety of tal-
ents make this girl a natural
choice for the “Girl of the Month”.
A twenty year old, she is a junior
at Scott nad White School of
Nursing.
Among honors she received in
high school were those of class
officer for two years, annual edi-
tor, FHA officer, a member of the
speech club, and last but not least,
salutatorian of her graduating
class.
Continuing to display her abili-
ties here at Scott and White, she
was a member of the publicity
committee her freshman year, nad
a delegate to the Texas Nursing
Student Association Convention.
This year she is president of the
Junior class, Secretary-Treasurer
of the. Student Association, and
chairman of the annual committee.
Among her likes is an interest
in music. She plays both organ
and piano well, and she is at pres-
ent, assistant organist at Imman-
uel Lutheran Church here in Tem-
ple.
And naturally, she is from the
great state of Texas—Hamilton, to
be exact.
Have you guessed? She is none
other than Dorothy Jean (Dot)
Williams!
First Leopard
Game On Nov. 30
The Leopards will start the 1954-
55 Basketball season November
30th with Connally Air Force Base
at Waco.
This year we will have only one
starter back from last year’s club
which finished 3rd in a five team
conference. We are not expecting
a fast start, but we do expect to
be in the state play-off at the end
of the season. A team has to wind
up at least second to be in the
play-offs. The Leopards came clos-
er last year to going to the State
play-offs than they have since
1936 when they won the Confer-
ence championship.
Last year the Leopards lost their
opening game to Navarro 82-45.
The starting line-up has not
been announced as yet. The boys
showing most promise of starting
are: Windle Kelly, Perry Williams,
Max Newcom, Bill Puett, Dan Ber-
ry and Lyn Raney. They are being
hard pressed by Joe Barbosa and
Harold Hoover.
No sports writer in his right
mind would try to predict the
final standing before the season
ever opens but here goes: (1)
South Texas, (2) Temple, (3) San
Antonio, (4) Lee, and (5) Con-
cordia.
The following schedule has been
released by Coach Hanebutt. There
are 19 games scheduled plus the
tournament.

season. Give them your support.
NURSES NOTES
October and the ghosts and gob-
lins of Halloween are forgotten
now. Eevryone is planning for that
big turkey dinner at home with
her family, while some brave souls
have even ventured into Christmas
shopping.
The Freshmen have 'taken an-
other step up the ladder toward
their goals by starting to work on
the halls at the hospital. They are
beginning to lose some of the be-
wildered, “will I ever learn all
this” look.
-In case you wonder about the
burning of “midnight Oil” and the
sudden use of the library lately, it
is just the Juniors preparing ma-
terial for research papers drawing
near.
Maybe a fashion show should be
held to help Mr. Berry to better
understand the sociological aspects
of women and their high heels, the
“monstrosities” they call hats, etc.
How about that, Mr. Berry?
Miss McCoy Tells
Of Her Life As
An Army Nurse
The student nurses of Scott and
White were a delighted audience at
their regular meeting of the Stu-
dent Association November 10.
What was so delightful about a
regular business meeting? Well, it
wasn’t exactly the business part
that everyone was so enthused
about; it was the part that fol-
lowed. Miss McCoy, our assistant
director of nursing service, was
our guest speaker. Oh, a speaker,
you say. But Miss McCoy is not
an ordinary kind of speaker and
neither was her talk an ordinary
kind of speech. It was an interest-
ing account of her five years as
a nurse in the Army Medical
Corps.
She entered the Army Medical
Corps at Camp Bowie in Brown-
wood, Texas, as a second lieutenant
and had advanced to the rank of
major at the time she was dis-
charged. She was in the armed
services a total of five years.
Miss McCoy brought out many
interesting highlights that were
new discoveries to most of us. Did
you know that for every ten sol-
diers on the battlefront there is one
nurse ? That’s quite a good propor-
tion, isn’t it?
The wounded man is first cared
for on the battlefield by an aid
man. This aid man has been train-
ed to administer plasma, narcotics,
and any first aid that is necessary.
From here, a litter bearer comes
to pick him up from the battleline
and carry him back to the aid sta-
tion. Here he is seen by a medical
officer who is a doctor. The wound-
ed man is then taken on to a gen-
eral platoon station, and here he
is met by a nurse for the first
time! All this time, he has been
on the same litter on which he was
carried from the front line. The
man has excellent medical care the
entire time, and he is now well on
the road to recovery.
The motto of the Army Medical
Corps is “conserve the army
strength”. And they really fulfill
that motto. I think everyone of us
came away from the meeting with
the utmost respect for the army
nurse and the Army Medical Corps.
The eggs of the tinamou, a
South American bird, are so shiny
that Indians often use them as
mirrors.
LEOPARD SPOTS
Jane Stanphill is wearing a
flashing ring on her left hand.
Who is the lucky guy?
Have you ever been driving
down first street and heard a
noise that sounds like a cow be-
hind you? Well don’t get alarmed,
it’s only Gaylon and his musical
horn.
Congratulations to Jummy Fox
for the fine entertainment at the
first Luncheon Club party.
Did you know TJC has a new
secretary, Mrs. Evelyn Gover.
Where did Melva go with the
cookies after the Future Teachers
meeting ?
Three stooges: Shirley Shinker,
LaVeme Mikuska, Theresa Miku-
lastic.
Miss Keen needs to be congrat-
ulated for the fine work she is
doing with the Boys quartet.
The Luncheon club plans an-
other party on Thursday, Novem-
ber 11. Let’s make plans right now
to attend.
Something to look forward to:
1. Thanksgivink Holiday
2. Christmas Holidays.
3. Final Exams in January.
Did you know that Patsy Daniel
sits around blowing smoke rings
and she doesn’t even smoke ? Some
trick, huh?
Did you know that the suicide
rate among college students is
higher with those who take psy-
chology than any other subject.
Seen in the third period psy-
chology class: William Powell writ-
ing notes to MR. BERRY.
About one-eighth of the total
Atlantic coast catch of fish comes
into Boston.
Emond Cartwright invented the
first successful power loom in
