General for nurses training, then be an army nurse s: Secretary 3; Scriptus 4; Student Council 3; Glee Club 4; Volleyball 2; Pro Merito 3 We have not counted hours Of fleeting yesterdays Nor measured space The rapid pace Of childhood s short-lived ways. The shadows now of by-gone years Too late to us recall That we have sipped from youth’s own cup The sweetest drink of all! Will soon the fount of life impart A bitter taste to numb the heart? Will distant paths betray a thorn Where once - for us - a rose was born? What task is it to understand That we no more walk hand in hand With youth our friend.... Such bliss must end. No wonder then that we refrain To leave the sunlight for the rain... Our joys eclipsed so harshly soon Like flight from early morn to noon! What fate or fortune lies in store Beyond the world’s imposing door? Gone now our past We choose at last To linger on the shore. Yet ever onward each one must Pursue his goal in simple trust. For though life’s pleasures vanish In vague nonentity And happy hours darken To shades of mystery Another dawn is waiting To rise above the sea Changeless. . . .timeless. . . .endless thing It is Eternity!

TIjVE Judith Sample At birth the Lord has set aside for me A span of years that I might call my ovm. And when I tread the path of life, I see The fruits that mankind has before me sown. Waste not those precious hours in evil ways Not greed nor hate for your companions take! Their tentacles reach forth and steal your days The harvest would be bitter — so awake! Spend wisely golden moments while they last Spread love and kindness — put aside the sword. So when at last you look upon the past, A life well spent will be your rich reward. The choice is mine. 0, Lord, which shall it be 0 guide me, God, that I may walk with Thee. QRADUADOjN Carmala Richiazsi As now my graduation day arrives My mind is filled with thoughts of days gone by The friendship and the happy hours we shared Bring to my heart a melancholy sigh. For now the road divides and now we part To travel on through life with higher aims To realize our dreams of happiness. Success, prosperity, and maybe fame. And though my heart is filled with sadness now. Faith and hope will see me through And somehow happiness will linger on If I but keep my faith forever new. And so my thoughts on graduation day Are bright with hope To mark my future way. TJjVJE Judith Sample The time we waste will not return Use well each fleeting precious hour Once gone, it does no good to yearn To will it back is not our pow’r.
