Jus Bet Me There ' s somethin ' I wanta ask you, nurse, somethin ' I ' d like to know Are you really glad that you ' re a nurse, answer me before you go. There ' s many things I ' ve wondered about since I ' ve been in bed- Like, why can ' t I get up and play, as my brother Ned. I ' ve wondered ' bout you too, nurse, ya didn ' t know, I bet, And some of the things I ain ' t figured out yet. Just let me ask you nurse, is it sad to see somebody die? And how do you know what to say when Mom asks you why There ' s so many others here, that I just don ' t rightly see, How you can always manage, a special smile for me. How come you always wear your hat in here, but leave it when ya go? My pa, he coulda busted me, if I ' d worn mine inside, ya know But most important I gotta ask, do you always dress in white? But please don ' t ever change that nurse, that color seems just right. You really do keep clean with all the things you do. My ma, she ' d sure be proud, to have a kid like you. Just let me ask you nurse, where do all those pills come from? How come you don ' t bring them all at once, sure save time ya know. Maybe then we ' d have more time to talk at night before you go. You always seem to know when I ' m feelin ' at my worse. Ya know, if I weren ' t a boy, I ' d wanta be a nurse.

Dedication In shedding our status as students of Hahnemann, we assume new places in the social strata and new functions in our community and world. Upon accepting these responsibilities, we gratefully and right- fully wish to acknowledge the individual who did much to contribute to our preparation for life and the attainment of our goals. For this reason, the class of 1966 is honored to dedicate this edition of the Vigil to Miss Helen Suttera, without whose support, the days would have often seemed endless and insurmountable. As an instructor, we respect her for her knowledge and efforts in teaching and guiding us through many anxious and trying moments. As an advisor and counselor, we thank her for the long hours of unself- ishly given time so that we might become more versatile individuals. For her many contributions to our education and lives, Miss Suttera will be long remembered and admired.

OJsJf you Course You must be in a hurry tho ' you never ' pear to be. I ' m really glad that you spend this much time with me I won ' t ask you no more questions nurse, I ' m sorta ' tired tonight My tummy feels real funny, and my head just don ' t feel right But before you slip so quietly out, and turn the lights down low, Would you stay in here while I say my prayers tonight before ya go? And just let me ask you this nurse, before I shut my eyes, Do you ever see two big tears in yours, a fore ' a person dies? Your eyes look kinda wet to me, but I can ' t imagine why Momma keeps tellin ' me I ' ll soon be well, but I know ' tisn ' t t rue. But don ' t worry nurse, when I get to heaven, I ' ll save a place for you! Author Unknown
