Class of W Sept. '33 4 1.......,, 19 lust three short years ago, my ,lfifillll-9 We began our training here In the Jefferson Hospital Training School With many hopes and fears. We looked forward to it quite anxiously Though the road seemed strange and queer But here and there a smiling friend Filled us full of cheer. The Senior Nurses spent their time Taking temperatures and giving out pills, While we poor probies swept the floors And washed the window sills. Not only physical work we had But mental labor as well, So that sometimes when exams came along We grouped there as if in a spell. We went to classes and sat there Mournfully side by side, While our dear instructress took us ,loyfully for a ride. What are the Biceps muscles for And the Triceps muscles, do tell The function of the liver explain And the nervous system as well. Explain the route of a nerve impulse On its way through the cord to the brain The bridges and ridges and fissures it crosses Until ifs sent out again. W gig- I Can we ever forget that curriculum Especially Anatomy class Oh please, Miss Shoemaker, do tell us we pray, How in the world did we pass?,' The second year studies were made up of lectures Through which some peacefully slept. K That is, if they sat out of sight Of those who vigilance kept.j But after all, we enjoyed our books And valued the work of those Who gave up their time quite willingly To teach us Thus and so. Oh, where have we heard that last phrase before In Ethics class I believe Where Miss Melville weekly taught us How to act accordingly. She's a woman of honor and high esteem W ho's giving her life for others In order to train us always to think Not of ourselves but our brothers. A smile means everything to an unfortunate woman Or to a pleading child And the gratitude that we get for our kindness Makes everything worth while. And now that we,re to leave Old Jeff And to friends both tried and true, W e've reached the bay in safety Now the ocean lies in view. EVA INGRAHAM. Thirty-nine
