3 czrefwell Today will soon be Yesterday, and Tomorrow is lost in the mists of the unknown. So we who now stand at the beginning of Tomorrow are looking back into Yesterday for the guidance we will need. And it is you who have given it to us, who have shown us the right path into all of our To- morrow. VVherever we are, whatever we are, memory will always link you to us, and life will have the haven of the lessons we have learned and the friends we have found among you. So it is with gratitude and affection we say goodbye to you with our faces toward the un- known that you will have helped us to under- stand. CLAss or 1928.

-All-W t C9516 to the Glldff 0f1928 QVVith apologies to Kiplingj If you can please the directors and the doctors, The superintendent and the patients, too, The patients' families and your senior nurses, 'Twould seem that you'd have quite enough to do. If you can please the Czarines of the pantry, The Napoleons who massage and bathe the hall, And yell because you don't walk on the ceilingg Or smile when you have lost your beau's 'phone call. If you can please the internes and house-doctors, And hold your tongue when e'er the buck they'd pass, Or when ehambermaids and elevator workers Think your day's lost without some of their sass. If you can stay your tears when in the drug room, They ask for whom and why you want their wares, And send you back pronto for prescriptions, And make you climb what seem a million stairs. If you survive two months in the O R room, VVith tie my gown and hand me this or that, The wild excitement of the doctor's scolding Still don't give up and leave your training flat. If you don't swear the night you've got a heavy, And are informed it's your turn to relieve. If you still stick why lying tongues run rampant, That those in charge all seemdisposed to believe. If you can glide past Tom, at nearly daybreak, And sign the book to look like ten o'clock 5 Or fool the Superintendent and the nurses, VV hen you go hatless for walks around the block. If you can keep your head when bells around you Are ringing 'til you don't know what to do. If you can keep your heart when handsome internes Are losing theirs and blaming it on you. If now that you have finished all your training, You can look back upon this life as mild, Yours is the earth, but I am here to tell you You'll not be a nurse-you'll be a saint, my child! From Right Off the Chest, by Nvlliz' Rvwll, 1923. 9
