CCIF99 by by Rudyard Kipling If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs, and blaming it on you, lfyou can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting, toog lf you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet clon't look too good nor talk too wiseg lf you can dream and not make dreams your master If you can think, and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with triumph and disaster, And treat those two impostersjust the sameg If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ,em up with worn-out toolsg If you can make one heap of all your winnings, And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings, And never breathe a word about your loss, If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the will which says to them: Hold on! If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue Or walk with kings -e nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too muchg If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And e which is more M you'll be a Man my son. 3 Where did they go so quickly - Those days of dreams and fears, They turned before our very eyes To weeks, then months, then years. The obstacles were many, And we faltered on our way, But Mrs. Johnson, you were there Each time you saved the day. Whenever we had problems, You took them as your own, Understanding, comforting, You left us not alone. You turned each frown into a smile By being as you are, You made each student feel worthwhile With you, welve traveled far. And so, to you, our yearbook We proudly dedicate - With love from every member Of the class ofsixty-eight. Angelina F ay Aversa 4 DEDICATION Mrs. Anne G. Johnson, B. S., R. N.

It was home like school Uncomfortable in its strangeness, somewhere nice to be from So he talked about school in the home that he talked about in the school that he talked about. And the preacher talked about Christ without a place to lay his head in the fullness of time coming from somewhere and going somewhere, all the time, and it figured.

And there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth, For the day ofjudgment was at hand. And they were sore afraid, for they had left undone Those things which they ought to have done, And they had done Those things which they ought not to have done And there was no help for it. And there were many abiding in the dorm Who had kept watch over their books by night, But it availed them naught. But some were who rose peacefully, For they had prepared themselves the way And made straight paths of knowledge. And these were known as the wise burners of the midnight oil And to others they were known as curve raisersf, And the multitude arose And ate a hearty breakfast. And they came unto the appointed place And their hearts were heavy within them. And they had come to pass, But some to pass out. And some of them Repented of their riotous living and bemoaned their fate, But they had not a prayer. And at the last hour there came among them One known as the instructorg and they feared exceedingly. She was of the diabolical smile, And passed papers among them and went her way. And many and varied Were the answers that were given, For some of her teachings had fallen among fertile minds. While others had fallen tlat. And some there were who wrote for one hour, Others for two, But some turned away sorrowful, and many of these Offered up a little bull In hopes of pacifying the instructor. And these were the ones who had not a prayer. And when they finished, They gathered up their belongings And each went their way quietly, each in his own direction, And each one vowing unto himself in this manner, I shall not pass this way againfl Copied f p lf 1: f-W ,, fff X I , if I I S f H V f Y fi f 1 27 x,.J ,Aj MEDICAL-SURGICAL NURSING xyfw, A x .,.. .. .N .- LV ' 'f' X X 'ix il t 1 X f 1-fV f' ' K N J f f. x mg, M 2 Q si A 24911 -'::: w k '.

Richard O'Hare Louisville, Kentucky FACULTY Director of Nursing Assistant Director, Nursing Education Mercy students affiliate with Our Lady of Peace Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky for psychiatric nursing. Three months of the latter part of the junior year or the first of the senior one are spent at this private psychiatric hospital. During these days, students are confronted with many factors which are important for understanding and promoting emotional stability both in their patients and in themselves. It goes without saying, almost, that there are many warm memories of experi- ences at Peace for each Mercy graduate. 64 WHAT IS A STUDENT NURSE Between the innocence of an entrance exam and an R.N. comes a lovable creature called a Student Nurse. They come in assorted sizes, heights and shapes, but they have the same creed, to enjoy every second of every hour of every day off duty. Student Nurses are found everywhere: underneath, jumping from, swimming to, and running through. Patients love them, the R.N.'s boss them, orderlies ignore them, doctors tolerate them, and Heaven protects them. A Student Nurse is truth with blood on her uniform, beauty with gloves on her hands, wisdom with penicillin in her hair, and the future with a newborn baby in her hands. To doctors, a Student Nurse is an inconsiderate, questioning, and intruding bundle of noise. When you want her to make a good impression, she becomes a giggling creature, bent on wasting as much time as possible and sleeping through class. A Student Nurse has an appetite of a horse, the digestion ofa disposal unit, the energy of a soapsuds enema, the lungs of a switchboard operator, the imagination of a Vanderbilt Graduate, the enthusiasm of Central Supply, the sharpness of a scalpel, the audacity of a Nurse's Aide, and when she gives pills she has five thumbs on each hand. She likes food, vacation, and Christmas. You can put her on study hours, but you cannot make her study. She is your aide, your maid, your porter, your friend. She is a freckled faced, pint-sized, fun loving bundle of noise. But when she gets off duty with her tired feet, and her aching back, she has a funny way of dropping off into bed, and saying uGood Nightf, but, not without those famous last words, Check on me in the A.M.!', 65 STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION Executive Committee: B. Loggins, second Vice Presidentg D. Musgrove, secretaryg Jeanne Ballou, Presidentg F. Harrington, Treasurerg Mrs. Rose Mary Hatten, adviser. Not Pictured: N. Bragassa, first Vice President. Through a cooperative effort on the part of both administration and the student body, major reorganization of the Student Government took place at Mercy School of Nursing during the 1967-68 academic year. Under the new system, Student Government has theoretically assumed direct responsibility for many student activities and several phases of school life in general. Coordination is maintained by an Executive Committee composed ofthe elected of- ficers of the Student Government Association and the chairmen of various sub-committees who serve as ex officio members. The sub-cornmittees are the Legislative, Judicial, Social-Cultural, Student Employment, and Religious Com- mittees. lt is anticipated that this form of student-participation Student Government will continue indefinitely at Mercy. Mrs. Rose Mary Hatten is to be congratulated for her excellence in filling the capacity of adviser to the Stu- dent Government Association for the current year. 66 4 X pal: if Legislative Committee: M.

My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and even for evermore. Psalm 121 A Psalm of David 70' MERCY LIFE Many times our days look dim And sadness does prevailg We're far away from home But it's an old familiar tale. We long to see our mothers Or a boyfriend's smiling face But here we are, away from them Together in this place. And everytime we feel this way Depressed and downright blue, We mope around and wish our days At Mercy could be through. Then someone pulls a foolish prank Or tells ajoke, or two, And we all laugh together As close relatives would do. For we're each otherls family And together we shall stay Happyeesad, and devilish, ,Til graduation day. Angelina Fay Aversa 71 Bless your pointed heads 3' 'F ISR 43 .
