THE BEGINNING School of Nursing Hennepin County General Hospital Minneapolis, Minnesota Class of 1974 If the hands of time were hands that I could hold, I'd keep them warm and in my hands they'd not turn cold. Hand in hand we'd choose the moments that should last, the lovely moments that should have no future and no past. The summer from the top of a swing. The comfort in the sound of a lullaby. The innocence of leaves in the spring. But, most of all the moment when love first touched me! All the happy days would never learn to fly, until the hands of time would choose to wave good-bye. Brian's Song by Alan and Marilyn Bergman MRS. HOWE, Director, School of Nursing They can't make me go on tomorrow! 4 So many Gods, so many creeds. So many paths that wind and wind; When just the art of being kind is all the sad world needs — one of the biggest thrills in life comes from doing a job well----- Real friends are those, who, when you've made a fool of yourself, don't feel you've done a permanent job. MRS. MAKEPEACE, Basic Principles MRS. DeWITTE, Basic Principles, Med. -Surg. To clear difficulties out of the way, there is no axe like a good principle.

Freshman Class 11 CAPPING, Spring 1971 Instructors, Basic Principles MRS. DOUCAN, MRS. DeWITTE, MRS. TAYLOR No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. 12 JOHN DONNE crwrtfcie, OBSTETRICS It's a hard life, isn't it, bibs?

Here we have a baby. It is composed of a bald head and a pair of lungs. EUGENE FIELD PEDIATRICS What do you mean I'm at the wrong end? You did that procedure just fine. However, this time try getting the right child. He is so small, he does not know the summer sun, the winter snow; the spring that ebbs and comes again. All this is far beyond his ken. A little world he feels and sees; His mother's arms, his mother's knees; He hides his face against her breast And does not care to learn the rest.
