SHIRLEY THIELEN Milk River, Alberta Can counsel and speak to that grief which themselves do not feel. MAXINE VROLSON Calgary, Alberta The fairest garden in looks, and in her mind the wisest looks. JENNIE TROFANENKO Turin, Alberta Silence is the perfect herald of joy: I were but little happy If I could say how much. DON ' T WHINE Today, upon the bus, I saw a lovely girl with golden hair, Envied her, she seemed so gay, and wished I were as fair. When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle; She had one leg, and wore a crutch; and as she passed — a smile. Oh, God forgive me when I whine. I have two legs. The world is mine. And then I stopped to buy some sweets. The lad who sold them had such charm. I talked with him — he seemed so glad — if I were late ' twould do no harm. And as I left he said to me: I thank you. You have been so kind. It ' s nice to talk with folks like you. You see he said, I ' m blind. Oh, God forgive me when I whine. I have two eyes the world is mine. Later, walking down the street, I saw a child with eyes of blue, He stood and watched the others play; it seemed I knew not what to do. I stopped a moment, then I said: Why don ' t you join the others, dear? He looked ahead without a word, and then I knew — he could not hear. Oh, God forgive me when I whine. I have two ears. The world is mine. With legs to take me where I ' d go — With eyes to see the sunsets glow — With ears to hear what I would know — Oh, God forgive me when I whine. I ' m blessed indeed. The world is mine. ■—Anonymous. PAGE FORTY HOLY CROSS HOSPITAL

JtL umru l ancfritet The evening of January 26th, the Holy Cross Al umni honored the 1955 graduating class with a most enjoyable cocktail p arty and banquet. The affair took place at the Al San Club. The friendly atmosphere along with the delicious meal made the evening a wonderful success. Miss E. McLean was the competent and gracious M.C. The entertainment was ably supplied by Miss Tennant and her Minstrel Band made up of graduates and students. They provided a good many laughs for everyone and we all hated to see the evening come to an end. The interesting speeches and the recitation of the Florence Nightingale Pledge led by a 1910 graduate made the evening complete which will be long remembered by the graduating class. We thank you. Penicillin The thought of penicillin is never very nice, So from your nurse take this bit of advice, The secret of the matter is — please, do relax. Even, if you realize that, It might take a couple of cracks! Take a great big breath and hold it if you may. While all the time the needle ' s driving on its way Then when it ' s given I know you ' ll eat the rug For I know that penicillin that ' s getting rid of all your doggon ' bugs. Volunteering as a blood honor at a Calgary Hospital, a young woman was asked by the nurse, Do you know your type? ' Oh, yes, came the confident reply, I ' m the sultry type.
