NLESS we have been a patient or nurse on the sixth floor we fail to appreciate the care given our nurses in 629. Most of us have, however, come into contact either directly or indirectly with the work of Miss Lewis and Dr. Surver. We wish to take this opportunity to thank our two outstanding friends for their understand- ing, sincere sympathy, and most efficient care dur- ing our moments of illness. They typify our ideals and will always appear as shining lights leading us to noble goals in our profession. Class of September, 1933 fg

VN The Nurse The world grows better, 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 baby, answering bells, Being polite, with a heart that rebels. Longing for home and all the while Wearing the same professional smile, Blessing the new-born babe's first breath, Closing the eyes that are still in death, Taking the blame for the doctor's mistakes, 0 dear, what a lot of patience it takes- Going of duty at seven o'clock, Tired, discouraged and ready to drop. But called back on special at seven-fifteen, With woe in her heart which must not be seen, Morning and evening, n.oon and night, .lust doing it over and hoping it's right. When we lay down our caps and cross the bar, 0 Lord, will you give us just one little star To wear in our crowns, with the uniforms new, In that city above where the Head Nurse is YOU. Conan ISV Embroidery fDedicated to Dr. Warren B. Davis! God worked a tiny buttonhole Upon a baby face, But He forgot to tie the threads- They ravelled for a space. The surgeon caught the two ends up And in minute detail Made from the mended buttonhole A mouth for baby wails. EVELYN MUNK WF Cy-B8
