I I WANTED TO WRITE A POEM They said I should maybe go lie down at home, The day that I wanted to write me a poem. They scorned me, and razzed me all of the time, But I guess I showed them when I finished my rhyme. Its contents were splendid, its wording was grand. To me this here poem was the best in the land. Someday they will publish my hard work so fine. And just down below it they'll say it was mine. Holly Broderick Alum-Notes Donald J. Reynolds ('56) is a First Lieutenant in the Marine Corps.

Candy Stripers Aid Caravillians Nine members of Future Nurses Club are getting a first-hand picture of nursing by going right to the patients’ bedside. Every weekend these '’Candy Stripers” devote their spare time to helping out at Caravilla, Home for Senior Citizens. Most of the girls work in the infirmary, ltiiere a majority of the old people are bedridden. Caravilla aids are: Maty Carney, Mary Ann Ellsworth, Shiela Gianoli, Cindy Koehler, Sharon Ferwerda, Patti Col- lins, Georgia Watson, Jane Foreman, and Sandy Schultz. With their red and white pinafores and a real yearning to help, these girls go out to do whatever they can for the patients. They feed those who can’t feed themselves, write letters, comb hair, run errands, and most of all, they just talk to the patients. The nurses are often too busy to do this last, and those patients who do not get much company, are lonely and just enjoy talking to someone. Mr. Falco and Mrs. Soder- burg of Caravilla have ex- pressed their appreciation for the volunter services of these girls. However, more Candy Stripers are needed. Students who would like to serve others in this way can call one of the Future Nurses chib officers for further explanation. Club officers are: Pam VanLan- deghem, president; Terry Petit, vice-president; Sandy Schultz, secretary; and Judy Engler, treasurer. Sandj Schultz
