Class Notes

1965 Phyllis Godette sends news of the 50th reunion of the Class of 1965 of the Highland Hospital School of Nursing. The school, affiliated with the University, opened in 1891 and closed in 1979. This past June, Phyllis writes, “18 of our 41 graduates reminisced about the many changes in the profession over these last 50 years. This nursing class boasts being one of the first to attend the new Monroe Community College then held at the old East High School building on Alexander Street. At graduation, we marched to ‘Pomp and Circumstance’ at the Eastman School of Music, wearing the newest and final rendition of the school’s official nurses cap. The previous black-banned wing cap then became the student cap. My, how times have changed.” Pictured on page 58 are (back row, left to right) Carlise Bossard, Carol Hasler, Donna English, Phyllis; (middle row, left to right) Cheryl Keegan, Bonnie Howard, Nicki Knott, Jean Bartholomew, Patricia Edmonds, Marjorie Switzer, Nancy Miller; (first row, left to right) Lola Rejman, Susan El-Shafie, Laura Sick, Carole Bogle, Susan Kingsbury, and Judith Cross.
