Next little Frances from Buckingham drifted in, She owns a Ford Roadster, and decided young chin. She has a big f'Bill, who sails in the air, She thinks pale green goes Well with her hair. Then came Louise VVest from Erin's green shore, If We thought there Were more like her, vve'd send there for more But when she makes up her mind, she Wants her ovvn was You can argue With Westie till the close of the day. Then from Maryland my lVIaryland, comes big Julia Jones She's a handsome example of flesh and bones. We certainly missed her while she was avvay, And when she returned, 'tvvas a Red Letter Day. Then arrived a gay pair, Misses Martin and Dick, To separate the pair, We have not learned the trick. Lydia shines in Clinic, Dick can make lemon pie, The thoughts of its excellence, I resign with a sigh. Then comes old Stammie, near the foot of the Class, But that's the more reason We can't let her pass. She's only one failing, for it has been said, She looses her shoes-purse-and all-but her head. Then comes little Riddy, who hasia man on the sea, They say she is as faithful as a female can be. Sh-e's not the only one Who loves o'er the sea, There's Collie, Cecile, Frantzie, Cooper and Bea. Then comes our baby, the clever Lucile, When it ,comes to big words, Well, that child she can speel She writes like a fine hand, and recites like a book, lf you wish a precocious child, as Mick, take a look Dear Class of '18, as I close these poor rhymes, I think of our troubles, our work, our good times.

And then comes Dorner with eyes so blue, We are mighty glad she brought her fiddle, too. It has afforded much pleasure and many a treat, Old tunes and new, welcome and sweet. Then Lois arrived from Coatesville, P-A, It was thought she was rather too pretty to stay. But she soon developed a heart condition, they say, That is going to end in the old-fashioned way. And now there arrived from Johnstown, the city of water and coal Dear Old Grandma Collobert with a heart of rarest gold. She tries to hide the latter thing, 'neath a curious little growl But when her friends are imposed upon, you ought to hear her howl Then 'flWurdie arrived so bright and clever, From Scotia, the land of Burns and Heather. She tries to b-e severe and boss us around, But a better sport than Murdiei is mighty hard to be found. Then Clem, she blew in from the Laborator-e-e, She's a professional lady 'tis easy to see. She works like a trooper, and tells us all how, But we all love Elizabeth, I'll tell you now. Now comes Anna Noel, the friend of us all, She mothers her patients, the great and the small, Her other good points, she has brothers to spare, She possesses charms, wit, and most wonderful hair. Then arrived Catharine Conard, who is quite free from She's a mighty nice youngster, as good as she's fair. She claims in the School she ne'er smashed a heart, But don't you 'believe her, she'-s about done her part. Her friend Della Miller, is to be found ,close at hand, She's a mighty good fellow, quite full of sand. That she's a good nurse, it's quite plain to see, She displays such an interest in Dichloramine-T. Then comes Betty Walker, who sings for the Class, Her singing is so good, we can't let it pass. She also can talk with her Hngers and to-es, And has more talents than anyone knows. 60 care,

MISS LYDIA MCCAW, R. N. Former Night Superintendent To Miss lVlcCaw In the early hours of another day, Ere the city was guilded by the daWn's first ray, In our silent Watch in this house of pain, Coaxing life and health and love again, There would come as a glow of rosy light A counsellor and guide from the depths of the night. We would tell all our problems, our troubles, our trials, She would lecture our mistakes, for the r-est we got smiles. ln memories of training, We can still hear the sounds Of Welcome footsteps approaching as lVIiss lWcCaw made her round 62
