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

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.

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
