At this point we thought we would never have these instructors or experience future life at Mercy. Well, needless to say, we made it. Although we will remember other instructors we have had, one will always stand out in our minds. When we said we couldn't, she said we could. When we thought no one remembered what it was like to be a student, she assured us she did. When we needed help she was there as an instructor but also as a friend. You comforted, encouraged and stood beside us. Your presence radiated reassurance and under- standing. We, the graduating class of 1987, proudly dedicate this edition of the Mercilite to: Mrs. Patricia Campbell.

Ralph Waldo Emerson Sherry Lane Arnold A Nurse's Prayer When I falter, give me courage. When I tire, renew my strength. When I weaken because I'm human, Inspire me on to greater length. If doctors and patients become demanding, And days are too short for all my duty, Help me remember I chose to serve, to do so with grace, and spiritual beauty, In humility Lord, I labor long hours- and though I sometimes may fret, My mission is Mercy-abide with me, that I may never forget. Ianet Lynnette Bledsoe If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain. If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain. Emily Dickinson Dana Lynn Chappell One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonged to him, and the other to the LORD. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it. LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me. The LORD replied, My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you. Anna Mashal Fleming Each day is a new beginning . . . Another chance to learn more about ourselves, To care more about others, to laugh more than we did, to accomplish more than we thought we could, to be more than we were before. Thank you Mom, Dad, Mike, Melanie, and Iimmy for all your love and support. I love you all very much. Barbara Suzanne Collie So often I sit and think about the way things were- The fun and friendships, the joy we all had ' and the times of just being together . . . Of course there were some days that we wondered how we made it. But our friendship helped us through. Now we may be separated, but the band is still there. Friendship holds us together. Joyce Brink Molly Elaine Greene To be a nurse is to walk with God Along the path that the Master trod, To soothe the achings of human pain, To faithfully serve for little gain. To lovingly do the kindly deed, A cup of water to one in need, A tender hand on a fevered brow, A word of cheer to the living now, To teach the soul through its body's woe, Ah! this is the way the Lord would go. O white-capped girls in dresses of blue, The great Physician is working through you! A.H. Lawrence Thanks Mother and Dad for all the love and support you have always given me, especially the past 3 years. You have helped me make my dream of being a nurse come true. I LGVE YOU! 4,,f, William Harry Grey When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest! if you must-but never quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about When he might have won if he'd stuck it out, Stick to your task though the pace seems slow- You may succeed with one more blow. Success is failure turned inside out- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt- And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar, So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit- It's when things seem worst that YOU MUSTN'T QUIT. Tamara Ann Mashewske People may come And people may go But memories live FOREVER! Kimberly Dare Hipp When little things would irk me, and I would grow Impatient with my dear ones, make me know How in a moment joy can take its flight And happiness be quenched in endless night. Keep this thought with me all the livelong day That I may guard the harsh words I might say When I would fret and grumble, fiery hot, At trifles that tomorrow are forgot- Let me remember, Lord, how it would be If these, my loved ones, were not here with me as Q3 r 2 i Susan Lorraine McCaughtry When you get what you want in the 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 Jack 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. if it Allison Smith McLean Oh! for the life of girls in white, They answer buzzers day and night. Buzz,Buzz,Buzz is all they hear, They faithfully tend to someone dear. What I would really like to know, is where they get their go,go,go, Up the hall and back again, Only they know where they've been. The chores are many as we can see, But the energy-plus still puzzles me. There is still time left for pleasant smiles After walking all these miles. Their pay won't show just reward, But as we know there is a Lord. He watches all both day and night, He won't forget these girls in white. is R X , f' o -n , , pw K 'QW' 1 .of , f f -K 11: asa, 4 v ' .HL u S ' - s,1,,,f Jenny Ellen Milstead lx Let me do my work each day Walking over the silent hills of moments As shall keep me friendly with And I come not within sight of Teach me still to be thankful fo And if the darkened hours of anxiety overcome me May I not forget the strength that comforted me In the desolation of other times. May I still remember the bright hours that found me earlier days, Or dreaming on the margin of the quiet river When I vowed to have courage amid the tempests of the changing years Spare me from bitterness, from the sharp passions of unguarded May I not forget that poverty and true riches are of the spirit Though the world knew me not, may my thoughts and actions be such myself . . . Give me a few friends who will love me for what I am And keep ever burning before my vagrant steps The kindly light of hope.

They must be felt with the heart. Helen Keller find me gentle still Max Ehrmann 'A 1 Lisa Yolanda Thomas There are always two sides, the good and the bad, The dark and the light, the sad and the glad- But in looking back over the good and the bad We're aware of the number of good things we've had- And in counting our blessings we find when we're through We've no reason at all to complain or be blue- So thank God for good things He has already done, And be grateful to Him for the battle's you've won, And know that the same God who helped you before Is ready and willing to help you once more- Then with faith in your heart reach out for God's Hand And accept what He sends, though you can't understand- For Our Father in heaven always knows what is best, And if you trust in His wisdom your life will be blest, For always remember that whatever betide you, You are never alone for God is beside you. Helen Steiner Rice Maureen Patricia Tibbetts Life holds many treasures But what you do with them is what counts. Donna Lynn Worick What is it to be a graduate? It is to be in recovery from the horror of final exams. It is to be in shock at the dignity of academic regalia that is self- fitted. It is to be in trepidation of the challenges that loom in the distance- alien, awesome, ahead. What is it to be a graduate? It is to be a nostalgic looking back at the past with all its loves, hates, Wx successes, failures, aspirations, and memories. Sherry Arnold 36 Piney Grove Rd.

Lowell, N .C. 28098 It is to be a visionary looking toward the future with the dream of all it may hold. It is to be a realist standing at the crossroads where past and future meet and fuse in the spotlight on the present. What is it to be a graduate? It is to stand on a pinnacle and perceive the fluidity of life: its flow of dailiness up to this moment of triumph, its flow from this moment back into dailiness.
