The many problems which have con- fronted us have never been too unreasonable to receive her interest and advice. Her fund roising suggestions have saved us many a class embarrassment, her patience ond kindness have made many of our vacations convenient for trips and honeymoons. With pride we claim her, and hope that we will benefit from her professional example.

' - - l- ' %. % «, . . • ll SV..H 39 TO THE CLASS OF ' 53 When you were just a tiny mite Upon your mother ' s l nee, T ' was only God who knew What you ' d turn out to be. He watched you thru your childhood days, And guided you thru school So you ' d hove the proper credits To meet the Millard Rule . As you look back upon the day You became a student nurse, Remember how you pledged yourself For better or for worse? Then came the day you earned your caps Which you so proudly wore, They gave to you, the right to do Full duty on the floor! Starting on Maternity Where life is ever new. . . You marveled at your knowledge As you learned to take your cue. Where babies come in every size. And shape and color, too. The wonders of the universe Were driven home to you. There were times that it looked hopeless When you toiled in surgery. . . And you wished that you had chosen As a profession. . . Burglary. And when you worked on One Old You thought you ' d really die. As patients lingered close to death And the days dragged slowly by. Remember, too, case studies. Though you did procrastinate. . . You finally finished them Before the closing date. The days you had creamed tongue and hash And other kinds of goo Will be nostalgic memories To every one of you Remember, too, the many times You stayed out rather late? And then, like Cinderella You quickly left your date. Standing on the sidewalk While you quietly slipped inside Hoping that the house-mother Your entrance had not spied! But now you ' ve really served your time And success is now in sight. And God looks on behind the door To bless you all tonight. NURSE ' S PRAYER I pray that I will ever be... A good and faithful nurse. . . And help each patient to get we 1 1 . . . Or keep from growing worse... To aid the doctor and obey. . . The orders I receive. . . And always be available . . . And will ing to rel ieve, . . And when my country calls me in. , . The hour of a war. . . ! pray that I wil I be prepared. . . To serve on sea and shore. . . To heal the sick and wounded and. . . Attend the lame and blind... And comfort those whose nerves are frayed. . . Or who are il I of mind. . . ! ask for strength and courage and. . . That I may never fail . . . To honor God, my uniform... And Florence Nightingale... James Metcalf 40 THE FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE PLEDGE I solemnly pledge myself before God and in the presence of this assembly to pass my life in purity and to practice myprofession faithfully. I will abstainfrom whatever is deleterious and mischievous, and wil I not take nor knowingly adminis- ter any harmful drug. I will do all in my power to maintain and elevate the stand- ard of my profession and will hold in confidence all personal matters committed to my keeping and all family affairs coming to my knowledge in the practice of my calling. With loyalty will I endeavor to aid the physician in his work and devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care. A PERFECT DAY When you come to the end of a perfect day- And sit alone with your thoughts- While the chimes ring out with a choral gay for the joy the day has brought- Do you think what the end of a perfect day can mean to a tired heart- When the sun goes down and the dear friends have to part- Now we come to the end of our student days- Which should long remain in our thoughts- And so we will go each our separate ways with the joy that these days hove brought- For nursing means sharing at work and play and friendships thot never fade- And we grasp at the end of our student days the hands of the friends we ' ve made- ' G D O BEWARE OF STUDENT NURSES Oh, why is fate so cruel to me To make me love like this A girl I never never kiss And always always miss. A nurse ' s life is hard to take. Especially for me ' Cause it ' s my heart that she will break If I let it be. It breaks my heart to hear her say With voice so soft and sweet-- I ' m sorry I can ' t get off tonight I ' m rushed right off my feet. You ' re a brave and noble girl, my dear To finish what you start. You have my blessing in your career But give me back my heart. To any man that reads my verse I ' ve only this to say-- Don ' t fall in love with a student nurse. She can never get away! 41 BONKRS LaDuca- Threw the fish net over the patient ' s face to restrain him. Dot Young- Fed raw eggs to all the diabetics on one-old.

Kania- Vice President at ' 48 ( HE Juniors really had a busy year between working and social life. There were dates, evenings with the girls, and school activities. One of the most memorable occasions was the half-way party at Debby McGrath ' s cabin. On March 12 and 13, the great party was held. It turned out to be a roaring success, lasting from 4 p.m. to 6 a.m. There were loads to eat and drink. Many of the favorite songs of the class were sung and all of the current gossip discussed. Everyone had a wonderful time includ- ing the last 13 V.+10 packed up at 6 a.m. on the 13th. The days that preceded Easter found the ambitious Juniors selling candy; a project that proved very profitable though a bit tiring for those wfio really pitched in and sold a lot. This project was used to help raise money for the financing of the Junior-Senior Banquet which is planned for this fall . Some of the happiest memories of the Junior year or of any other year are the many hours spent in each other ' s rooms offer work v hen the gossip real ly flew. Included in these subjects were of course the male of the species, a topic that never ceases to fascinate the female. 49 The Junior year is not an easy one but it is one filled with a variety of memories which for most of us include very happy ones and is a year in which we hove learned much and are brought one year closer to our graduation.

Our year at the University has ended. Some of usore sad and some of us — well, aren ' t so sad. Glad or sod we have a lot of memories connected with college. Memories like trudging to the bus stop and watching it roll away, laughing our way through Chemistry lectures (v o went to Chem lectures?), sleep- ing in the Norton lounge, having grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch, dissecting those things in Anatomy lab, psychoanalyzing our friends and always being on time. We ' ve planned, agreed, worked and talked. We ' ve hollered, fought, griped, and complained. Sometimes we even studied. In a word we lived. Just for the record we ' ve also been a pretty sociable bunch. But not all our social life has been con- fined to Myers. Among other things our student council has been instrumental in bringing about student representation for the nurses at the U. B. , next year. Often we haven ' t been included in campus activi- ties. We hove done a great deal this year to change that. Banded together we are a powerful group whether professionally or on campus. We know that next year ' s class will carry on from here (they ' d better). 55 Wonder of wonders, the nurses ' float won second place in the divisional group. This was the first float entered in three years. After they picked us up off the floor to receive the award, we beamed for days. Our hospital dance was a big success and we ' ve had some laughs reviving the school newspaper. Squealer. Pardon our pride, but the Millard Fillmore had the distinction of walking off with two of the biggest queenships of the year. The name of Barbara must have a magical quality. Last, but far from least, is our year at the hospital. Will we ever forget the thrill of our first uni- forms, the terror of going on the floor, the pride of our first enema or the horror of our Nursing Arts ex- zam? We will always hear Miss Fisher ' s Why do you do it that way, girls? , and Miss Radtke ' s Think itthrough, girls, isn ' t it logical? . Then there is the cafeteria. Ah yes, sweet memories of Monday night horn, Thursday night liver, cereal, ice-cream and everyone going to breakfast for cinnamon toast. We invented Purple Hearts for those wounded in action v Ile endeavoring to get a second dessert and the Congressional Medal of Honor for those who got away with hiding it under their napkin. We remember our first days when we carried our keys everywhere and wondered why we couldn ' t sit where the pretty napkins were. They don ' t seem so very long ago. By the time we read this, we will be sophomores. Thenwewill have the joy and privilege of looking at the new flock and saying, HEY KIDS, DIG THOSE CRAZY FRESHMENII . M.
