DIETARY
The Saint Joseph dietitians were host to the Den-
ver Dietetic Association on September 28th.
We have missed the friendly face of Katherine
Meier who is at home recuperating from surgery. Our

Miller on the deaths of their fathers, Bertha Ward on the
recent death of her mother, Gladys Abel, whose husband
passed away, and Kathryn Metz on the loss of her grand-
mother.
OUTPATIENT DEPARTMENT
Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Chet Markham on
their recent marriage. Mrs. Markham is the former Geri
Mclntire.
We extend our deep sympathy to Mrs. Vera Jones,
R.N., on the death of her mother.
SCHOOL OF NURSING
On October 25th and 26th the School of Nursing
was visited by two members of the Colorado State Board
of Nursing. The Board members were Mrs. Madeline
Dickinson and Mrs. Henrietta Walsh. The board visits
nursing schools every three years to make sure the scho-
ols are complying with all regulations; and to view the
education programs in action.
LABORATORY
The new Director of the Laboratory, Dr. John
Holyoke, arrived on a permanent basis on October 16th,
together with Harry Baumgardner, Administrative Super-
visor.   We welcome both of these newcomers to Colorado.
INTERNS-RESIDENTS
The goblins were out in full force on Sunday
evening, October 30th, as members of the House Staff
and their families entertained the Sisters and Drs. Mc-
Dowell, Hicks and Johnson at a Halloween Party. The
gala party-complete with costumes for all-was held in
Assembly Room.
Dr. Ed Quianzon, a second-year surgical resident
from Colorado State Hospital, has joined our training pro-
gram for the next six months.        (Cont  --   page   7 )
SECOND CIVIL DEFENSE DRILL
�
On Saturday morning, December 3rd, the second
civil disaster drill will get underway at Saint Joseph
Hospital. More details of the drill and the preparations
to be made will be presented to departments shortly.
As you will recall, the first disaster drill was
held on Saturday morning. October 8th, at which time the
hospital was advised that a plane carrying 400 passen-
gers had crashed at Stapleton Airport. The hospital,
through its "hot line" and regular switchboard lines
kept in direct communication with the central disaster
headquarters and with the Hospital's Directors.
The October 8th drill was simply a "paper drill"
but in December the administration is making plans to
use student nurses as "victims" so that employees will
have a clearer idea of what to do in case of a real emer-
gency.

We Are Different
Our Hospital is different in many other ways^^
I believe one of the reasons it is different is the way in
which we work together to make our hospital the best.
Our mottojhis year is, "Service to Each Other For Our
Patients." Our Hospital is best because of the skills
and pride of our men and women. Our philosophy of se-
lecting adequate and competent personnel and providing
just standards of employment is shown in the items men-
tioned above, but what of our intangible regard for you,
such as the unspoken, unexpected extras, the feeling of
each employee that it is HIS or HER Hospital.
SPECIAL PARTNERSHIP
You are personally involved because it is your
pride in patient care which helped to build the Hospital,
and which now maintains its leadership. We have a
close-knit relationship, and the way in which we live
and work together in our Hospital is an important part of
this tradition.   Our relationship is based on mutual trust.
We know that our employees are the best and
want to give their best. You know we want the best for
you and are interested in you as an individual. No one
can equal a partnership like this!
We do wish all of our employees and their famil-
ies a very Happy Thanksgiving Day!
