1944-THE REFLECTOR DO YOU REMEMBER LalVlantia wondering why the thermometers didnit register. Ozzie getting her organs wet. Shoes for 2546 at the rummage sale. l'Wearing sweaters long this year . . . E. B. lVlartzie s first enema. LoonyH and all her men. The Blood Moneyu gotten from certain sandwiches. Blackouts when you're on 2:30 duty CMaternity???D. lVla's surprise visits at 11 P. M. Baths in the 113 Home. Our first rounds with a doctor. First aid class, artificial respiration, slacks and all. Day duty nurses coming off at 9 P. M. Dates with Oscar, the skeleton. The black ties with soup and mustard as trimmings. Remember a certain senior's definition of LOVE. Remember the effervescences of F plus soap flakes. The undies ironed by ...... C Gremlins 1 guess?D. A certain senior excused from class because of the Hinkles. That familiar smell of RUBBER burning. Student health duty on icy days. Any time that Ozzie had ONE thing you could borrow. When we went Beddie-byeu at 10:45 P. MRP? The Hrst day of 8-hour duty. That change from black to white. . A NURSE'S PRAYER The world grows brighter year by year, because some nurse in her little sphere Puts on her apron, and smiles, and sings, and keeps on doing the same old things. Taking the temperature, giving the pills to remedy mankind's numerous ills, Feeding the babies, answering the bells, being polite with a heart that rebels. Longing for home, and all the While wearing the same old professional smile. Blessing the newborn baby's first breath, closing the eyes that are stilled in death, Taking the blame for all mistakes, O, dear! VVhat a lot of patience it takes, Going off duty at seven o'clock, Tired discouraged and ready to drop, But called out to help at seven-Fifteen, with woe in the heart that must not be seen, Morning and evening, noon and night, just doing it over, hoping it's right. When we report off to cross the bar, Dear Lord, will You give us one little star To wear on our cap of our uniform new in the Ward above where the head nurse is You? - 61
