THE END of a NURSE ' S DAY Seven o ' clock and the nurse ' s work Was done for another day She heaved a sort of a tired sigh And put the charts away. Then sat for a moment and bowed her head Over the little white desk, I wonder, she said to herself, after all, Am I really doing my best? Perhaps I could have begun the day With a brighter cheerier smile And answered the bells with a right away, Instead of after a while. And I might have refrained from that halfway frown, Although I was busy then, When that frail little body with pale blue eyes Kept ringing again and again. And I might have listened with sweeter grace To the story of six’s woes! She may be suffering more perhaps - More than anyone knows. And I might have spoken a kindlier word To the heart of that restless boy, And stopped a moment to help him find The missing part of his toy. Or perhaps the patient in eighteen A Just needed a gentler touch, There are lots of things I might have done And it wouldn’t have taken much. She sighed again and brushed a tear Then whispered praying low, Oh God, how can you accept this day When it has been lacking so. Then God looked down on the heart, the sigh, And saw that shining tear Then sent the angel messenger to Whisper in the ear, - Perhaps you could have done better today, But oh, the Omnipotent One, Seeing your faults doesn’t forget The beautiful things you’ve done. He knows, little nurse, that you love your work In this big house of sorrow, So gladly forgives the lack of today For you will do better tomorrow. And the nurse looked up with the tenderest smile Tomorrow I ' ll make it right, Then added a note in the order book, Be good to them tonight. I ' % New students, new uniforms. SEPTEMBER.

MARION DE LA TOUR TRELLES Former Member of the Faculty The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing. He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment. He hath coverted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name’s sake. For though I should walk in the midst of the shadows of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me. Thou hast prepared a table before me, against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebriateth me, How goodly it is! And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord, unto the length of days. s JUDY ROCHE President MARY JO GARNER Treasurer JULIE MOORE Vice President FERRELL LEBOWITZ Secretary i Student Council MISS STELLA O ' CONNOR Sponsor Student Council, the governing division of the student body, is composed of duly elected officers and representatives from each class, including the affiliate classes. The Council is a method of student self-government which is granted and supported by the school administration. Weekly meetings are held to consider infractions of regulations with which students are charged, to discuss current problems, and to suggest improvements for the general welfare of the student body. It offers one a true insight into student problems and administration policies. Prestige and respect are given its members as representatives of the student body. Sigma Alpha Chi is the Honorary Nursing Society organized at Charity in 1938. The privi¬ lege of membership, the highest honor that can be achieved and enjoyed while a student nurse, is granted to junior and senior students who have maintained an outstanding scholastic average, have above average ability in practical work, have good moral character and commendable spirit and attitude.
