'WUT When you get what you want in your struggle for self And the world makes you Queen for a day, Then go to the mirror and look at yourself And see what the girl has to say. For it isn't your mother, your father, or husband Whose judgement on you must pass, The person whose verdict counts most in your life Is the girl staring back from the glass. She's the person to please, never mind all the rest, For she is with you clear to the end, And you've passed your most dangerous and difficult test If the girl in the glass is your friend. You may be like lack Horner and chisel a plum And think you are a wonderful girl, But the girl in the glass says you are a bum If you can't look her straight in the eye. You may fool the wide world down the pathway of years And get pats on the back as you pass, But the final regard will be headaches and tears If you've cheated the girl in the glass. Anonymous 27

'Snr iowa..- What I Live For I live for those who love me, Whose hearts are kind and true, For the heaven that smiles above me, And awaits my spirit toop For all human ties that bind me, For the task by God assigned me, For the bright hopes yet to find me, And the good that I can do. I live for those who love me, For those who know me true. George Linnaeus Banks Nancy Dobbins . . .Mike my bear. . .Cora my car. . .junk on my walls. . .never rearranged my room. . .

At Mercy I was taught the techni- cal skills of a nurse. I was taught the knowledge of others through lectures and books. Yet this was only part of what I learned. MERCY-A Molder of Character It began in August 1981 I was young and carefree, innocent to life's burdens. Soon, I learned to open my eyes and see what life was all about. I saw pain. I saw happiness. I learned to care about and understand others, I learned to appreciate life's preciousness. I realized the importance of my family. I became wiser. It ended in Iune, 1984. There was an empty place in my heart. In the years to come, I knew I'd remember Mercy and it's philosophy, my friends, and the instructors. I would remember how Mercy helped to Mold My Character!
