Hahnemann Hospital School of Nursing - Hahnoscope Yearbook (Philadelphia, PA)

Dear Mrs. Ruster, There are those who give little of themselves and what they give is given for recognition. And there are those who give wholly of themselves and are never recognized. We feel you are in the latter category and so, we have decided it is time to give you some recognition. But, what do we say to a person who has become our Mother away from home? How do we say thank-you to someone who stood by us when we needed her, who has told us when the work-list was in so we would remember to sign up. How do we say we ' ll miss you, and we are getting ready to leave? Many nights we yelled and screamed after an extra hard day and you ignored our noise, because you understood the tension we felt. You put up with a lot — including dirty rooms, and dirty kitchens. Sometimes there was a frown, but most times a smile and always a kind word. In a few months these halls will be filled with new faces and new voices and we will be gone. But we will never forget you and we hope that you will never forget our appreciation for you. So in gratitude we dedicate this yearbook to you. Thank- You.

mary e. schlosser R.N., M.S.N. director school of nursing Dear Lisa, Connie, Diane, Margie, Barbara, Renee, Fran, Roseann, Karen, Jean, Mary Ann, Colleen, Jocelyne, Valerie, April, Denny, Robin, Margie L., Theresa, Kathy, Sue, Mary Ann M., Mad, Lorraine, Becky, Jo Ann, Martha, Chris, Eileen, Tracy, Linda S., Maria, Marsha, Sharon, and Frank: In September, 1970 we said our first hello . Now, 1973 is here to usher in goodbye . I have watched your accomplishments with pride. And now I advise that you carve your destiny as graduate nurses early. Do not spend your future life expiating the mistakes of youth. Let each day contain equal parts of faith, patience, courage and work. Set yourself tasks that will continue to compel you to exert yourselves. As you seek employment, make certain to employ yourself in the continuance of doing good and mitigating the sorrow of others. In this way you will surely experience life ' s greatest joys through hope, fidelity, liberality, kindness and rest. Live your life that you may be known for two of its greatest virtues, namely courage and loyalty. Then you will learn where love should enter in so that those around you will recall only your energetic vim, your smiles, your joy. To reach the epitomy of success promise that you will fill all newly emerged paths from the storehouse of time with service rendered with quiet unselfishness and cheer- fulness. Then, procrastination will never rob you of life ' s greatest entity which is time! My love goes with you and my prayers that God will guide your actions as only He can. Au revoir Mary E. Schlosser, R.N. Director, School of Nursing
