Ill.-2.211111 If Ihlpologies to Kiplingj If you can please the supervisors and the doctors, The superintendent and the patients, too, The patients, families and your senior nurses, 7Twould seem that you'd have quite enough to do. lf you can please the Czarines of the pantry, The Napoleons who massage and bathe the hall, And yell at you for not walking on the ceilingg Or smile when you have lost your beau's phone call. lf you can please the internes and house-doctors, And hold your tongue when the buck they try to pass Or when chambermaids and elevator workers Think your day is lost without their sass. lf you can stay your tears when in the drug room, They ask for whom and why you want their wares, Send you back pronto for prescriptions, And make you climb what seems a million stairs. If you survive three months in the 'LOpr.', room, With utie my gown, and uhand me this or thatf, The wild excitement of the doctoras scolding, Still donjt give up and leave your training flat. If you donlt swear the night youjve got a Hheavyf' And are informed it's your turn to relieve. If you stick when unkind tongues run rampant, That weaker friends seem quite disposed to believe. If you can keep your head when lights around you Are flashing 'til you don7t know what to do. lf you can keep your heart when handsome internes Are losing theirs and blaming it on you. If now that you have finished training, You can look back upon this life as mild, Yours is the earth, but I'm here to tell you, You'll not be a nurse-you,ll be a saint, my child! IEIII 'T f72l

Seventeen were admitted on December eighth, 1926. Association meetings are held in the Home. These meetings consist of a sermon and sodality prayers in the Chapel of the Sacred Heart, a business meeting followed by a social hour in the Lecture Hall. These meetings are a source of true enjoyment to the student body, giving them a real family spirit, affording them spiritual influence and much needed physical recreation. The influence of the Sodality is reflected in the daily lives of all those who are true sodalists. Our Lady of Mercy places her mantle of blue around the lives of her true follow- ers. In her supernatural character Mercy School is best known by those who call her by the tender name Alma Mater, for their knowledge is by experience and their understanding by love. There is no art or science in any curriculum, there is no theory in the universe, no quest of goal or adventure, no ground for any system of morals in which God is not recognized as Creator, obeyed as Master, and honored and loved as Father. Where God is loved-there His Mother will be honored. These are the ideals held out and cherished by Mercy School. On this she pon- ders night and day, pouring forth fervent prayers for her children of the past, present and even future, that they may hold these ideals and make them the constant aim of their lives. Each morning as the first rays of light steal forth, these girls who are faithful wearers of the blue and white, kneel for daily Mass. Evening comes and again White Caps are seen kneeling and we hear them whisper: l have come to thee, sweet Mother, With my offerings todayg In your loving hands I place them, Purify each one, I pray. None are worthy, dearest Mother, Of the love He showed for me. But 'tis all I have to give Him, So I give them all through thee. He will not despise them, Mother, Though they are so very small: Given through his own dear Mother. He will bless each one and all. Tell, oh tell Him, Mother Mary, That the prayer of this poor heart Is to be with Him forever, Buried in His Sacred Heart. I must leave thee now, dear Mother, But this wayward heart of mine Longs to be united With thy Son's dear heart and thine. ' -' I' 1 I . x A I 74 .g -..Lv ...ju
