Q f jj cA f oootzi ooo Not 'till seven o'clock in the morning they don't. And then all they do is wash you and give you some breakfast and wash you and clean the windows and then you can rest. You can until they clean the room. And then you can rest until they want to clean the bathroom. I canlt: Not while hospitals use tin basins. I canlt. Certainly I'm not jumpy. I'm fine. I like hearing the tin basins banged around. And I don't mind a bit if the nurse sings. It doesn't make me nervous. And after they get the floor scrubbed I can sleep while they clean them, and they will take out the rugs and clean them, and that's very considerate. They understand. They know I'm resting. Theylll wait until I'm asleep and bring them back and drop them beside my bed with a nice, dull thud. But I don't mind. I'm fine, and then I'll get my rub. That's grand! All up and down my spine, and then I get sleepy again. And then the nurse tip-toes over and pulls down the shade, and then she moves all the furniture and washes a few tin things, and then she goes to lunch. Well, supposing she leaves the door open, I can get up and shut it, can't I? Ilm not sick, am I? I'm just in for a rest and after I shut the door I can go to sleep. I can till the telephone rings. I know they have orders not to, but anyone can make mistakes. And they have to send up llowers. Even if there is a sign on my door, Patient Sleeping. It doesn't say rest, or don't wake her, does it? I'm not complaining. After lunch I can rest, unless the doctor comes. Well . . . I can rest when he goes, I ought to be able to. It's quiet here. It says so in the street, Hospital, Quiet Pleasef, There is a little riveting next door, but who minds? I do, but I can't stop progress. I can't stop the radio. It sure was a swell idea to bring a radio into the hospital. I wonder who thought of that? I,d like to meet him some day and slip him a nice little kiss. But I don't mind it, and I don't mind the visitors across the hall. They have to shout. Thatls cheering the patient up. They canlt come in a hospital and let him think he's sick, can they? They have to shout. They have to be hearty. Sure they do. So stop biting the bed-clothes. After dinner you can rest. After your dinner, and your bath, and your milk of magnesia. Then you can rest. You arenlt nervous, are you? You aren't going to let a little thing like a rest cure upset you, are you? Certainly, Ilm not. I'm calm. Iim swell, l'm not screaming, I'm resting! ESSAY ON MAN The hart was the first pump ever invented. It never stops beeting as long as we're lucky. It pumps the blood through vanes and arteries, depending on weather its coming or going. If you axsidently cut one of your blud vessels and know a lot about fizzeology you can tell rite away weather its a vane or an artery, thus sattisfying your curiosity even if it don't make you feel any less nerviss. If you are not quite sure how you feel, all a doctor has to do is lisen to your hart to help you find out. If he tried to lissen on your rite sides he's proberly not a good doctor. We are born with 2 lungs and if we have any less its impossible. They helps us to breath all day and at night they breethe for us. If it wasn't for the lungs the air wouldant have any place to go and our whole sistern would be full of drafts. The stummick receeves all your food but it probably doesant enjoy it as much as you do. No matter how polite and well educated you are your stummick also rimes with jelly. Between your neck and your legs you are known as your trunk, probably because allmost all of the rest of you is packed there. The neck separates the head from our shoulders and helps us to look sideways in a hurry. It is one of the last things we learn to wash of our own free will. The legs are what distinguish short people from tall ones, so even if we are all born equal, later on in life we are more equal sitting down then standing. People probably resemble each other more on the inside then what they do on the outside, being why we use the outside to recognise each other, specially from our necks up.

l CA gf 0002100 The iiritues o a uirse QViewpoint of a Bystanderj WHAT A NOBLE IDEAL, aspiration to a life of service for suffering humanity 3 acting as a guide in restoring those bodies broken down by disease and acci- dent to a new and better existence, being a source of hope and consolation to those who, because of their misfortune, may be on the verge of despair! Having offered herself, along with all the powers and abilities which she possesses, a potential nurse enters a period of training, willing to submit her- self to innumerable hardships. What, therefore, prompts a young lady to leave all and enter into a state of life which demands so much of her? It is, with- out a doubt, the response to the urging of an unselfish love for her fellowmen in whom she sees the image and likeness of God. A three-year course is skillfully arranged so as to develop those latent quali- ties which are so necessary for an ideal and successful nurse. Working faith- fully and following meticulously the instruction of her superiors, the student nurse gradually becomes more skilled in her tasks and duties. Her knowledge of medicine and its handmaids increases, her hands and fingers become more adept and agile in assisting at operations and complicated cases. ln general the student feels herself getting closer to her goal. In addition to all this, however, the nurses, training develops the higher faculties of her soul. Being well instructed with the true and firm ethical principles, a strong will is developed together with a heartfelt desire to ful- fill all duties, at all times, in the best possible manner. The nurse .always remembers that education is the stronghold in her quest for success, and that education nurtured with firm Christian principles is her strongest ally in the attainment of her ideals. Material progress alone will not endure. To be successful as a nurse, as in any other walk of life, one must build safely upon a sound moral foundation. The nurse too, must be strong in virtue, or be an ethical failure. Take away those virtues of patience, kindness, humility and perseverance which we Hnd in our nurses, and you no longer have a nurse, only a cold, selfish, and hard-hearted mass of humanity remains. Living in an environment which tends to foster the former virtues is indeed the good fortune of a student -nurse. Always mindful of the success that someday will be achieved, the nurse Sixty-Iwo g ilu!
