How hard it is at the close of all we have shared to say, this is the end. We have shared the ioys, the tears, the hopes, the dreams of each other for three years. Years filled with many, many things. Now, our training at an end we must say, it is done. It is finished. We shall go our separate ways. Yet, we know, what we have shared will never be really lost. It will remain with us forever as we go our own ways. The many things we've shared will bind us one to another throughout the coming years and each of us will set aside a part of her heart for our Mercy years. 4

T0 A FRIEND You entered my life in a casual way, And saw at a glance what I needed, There were others who passed me or met me each day But never a one of them heeded. Perhaps you were thinking of other folks more, Or chance simply seemed to decree itg Iknow there were many such chances before, But the others---well they didn't see it. You said just the thing that I wished you would say, And you made me believe you meant it, I held up my head in the old gallant way, And resolved you should never repent it. There are times when encouragement means such a lot, And a word is enough to convey itg There were others who could have, as easy as not-- - But, just the same they didn't say it. There may have been someone who could have done more To help me along, though I doubt it, What I needed was cheering, and always before They had let me plod onward without it. You helped to refashion the dream of my heart, And made me turn eagerly to itg There were others who might have KI question that partl But after all they didn't do it. Grace S . Dawson e
