From
The
Auxiliary
The Auxiliary will be honored on
Tuesday evening, Feb. 22, to have Mr.
Porter as guest speaker for the gen
eral meeting. Mr. Porter will show
slides and discuss his experiences in
Formosa. Keports will be kept at a
minimum, to give the full program
to the speaker.
Another Splendid Sale was a huge
success and will benefit the Auxili
ary’s special project: The new play
room on Howland Ward.
The Howland Playroom Fund has
been augmented by about $25 recent
ly—the proceeds of the Christmas
greens sale managed by Mrs. Bayard
(’arter and ilrs. Paul Horton just
before the holidays.
A new orientation course started
Jan. 24 and continvu^d on ^Mondays
and Wednesdays for three weeks. We
were pleased to have a good registra
tion for this course. Bouquets to
Miss Clark for her help.
When the Association of University
Anesthetists met at Duke Hospital in
January, wives of the visiting phy
sicians were entertained by the Aux
iliary at a Saturday morning coife;^
hour. Mrs. Shelton Smith, Mrs. Bay
ard Carter and Mrs. Konald Ste])h-
en were the hostesses for the Auxil
iary. This gathering pi-ovided an op
portunity for exchange of information
on auxiliary work in various j)arts of
the country.
May we put in a i)lea for helj) in
keeping up with books from our Li
brary Cart? The Library Service can
be only as good as its books. If you
see any strays lying about, will you
please shepherd them back to the
Auxiliary Office ?
A special word of thanks to the
faithfid volunteers and to Lizzie who
waded through those January snow
drifts so the Auxiliary work could
continue on schedule.
And now we want to say “Welcome
home, Mr. Porter. We hope you’ll
take a coffee break with us from time
to time in the LobbJ^”—Evelyn

A FAMILIAR SIGHT on the wards these days is Miss Ann Jacobansky, newly-appointed
dean of the Duke University Nursing School. Miss Jacobansky is pictured here as she
looks over a young patient’s chart with the nurse, Mrs. Lee Steele. The new dean was
formerly director of undergraduate nursing instruction at Duke, coming to the University
from Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing at Pittsburgh, where she served five years as
clinical instructor and educational director. A native of McKeesport, Pa., Miss Jacobansky
was a member of the Army Nurse Corps from 1943-45, serving one year overseas. She
received her nursing diploma at the Shadyside Hospital School of Nursing in Pittsburgh
and the B.S. and Ed.M. degrees at the University of Pittsburgh. Miss Jacobansky is a
member of a number of professional organizations. In announcing the appointment, Dean
Davison described the new dean as “a real asset to the Nursing School staff. Medical
school and hospital personnel have expressed enthusiastic support of her appointment.”
