What's in a Cap? I was thinking back to my high school days, And how nursing had entered my mind. And I thought of the caps and the treatment trays, And the letters R.N. I would sign. I thought of the uniforms white as can be, And the pin with the letters engraved. Yet, how could I know, or how could I see That nursing's a road that you paved. It isn't your name, it isn't your looks, Or your voice, or your hair or your eyes, It isn't your marks, or it isn't just books, Or the early hours you rise. It's the smile that a patient has when you're done, It's the 'Thank you' he gives for his life. It's the cry of the newborn as he becomes one Of this great new world and its strife. It's the mother whose family awaits her return Or the father who's too young to die. It's the 'big' and the 'little' things that you learn It's the many times you ask 'why?'. It isn't the cap but the head underneath That makes the nurse what she is. It's not the black band or the high honored seat. It's the heart that she gives with all this. - The Senior Class of 1963 Class motto: Revering the Past: Enjoying the Present Anticipating the Future. Class song: Stay I 1
