' Reverently, I pledge myself before God and in the presence of this .that ye should QzckcallAlAj COttAA 64- I bathe the tired, patient sick And leave the covers neat, The while I think of One who washed His loved disciples ' feet. How often when I bandage wounds Have grateful tear drops started.... To think! I have a Saviour who Binds up the broken hearted, I pause by many a sufferer ' s bed To shake and smooth a pillow, (Remembering Him asleep on one In boat on tossing billow.) I give a drink of water and (Almost too good to be!) I hear my loving Lord remark, You gave that drink to Me. I make the meals for patients ' fare. I set out milk and bread... (My Jesus spake the word, and lo! The multitudes were fed.) Oh, sometimes in my crowded ward I think and catch my breath: My Lord healed sick folk just like these In busy Nazareth. 49

MISSING: One lost probie on October 31. Afraid of witches? NO!! Just afraid of seniors. Hard to believe anyone could be afraid of such loveable lil ol’ people. After all, all this student had to do was: gently arouse her dear Big Sister sing¬ ing I am a lowly probie, I love you senior dear , after which she willingly tidied sis ' s room, polished her shoes, unwrinkled her bed, and did everything in her power to please her boss for the day. She merrily chanted her song for each of the seniors at their feet at least two or three times (ONLY about one hundred times during the day). Her hair was beautifully arranged in pigtails with her inside out skirt stylishly pulled over her best long legged pj ' s. After, for the first time, wishing that classes never would end, she staggered out again. She was served the most delectable supper (in bed pans, urinals, and other borrowed? hospital equipment). Being so popular she warbled the most delightful tunes for her senior audience. Showing her best manners she served them all they wished. Dressed warmly and attractively, she wandered out into the cool, dark night to fetch some rather uncommon articles — men ' s shorts, something false but not TEETH, etc., etc., Upon arriving back she was whirled down a long hall to Morgin ' s Morgue. Unfortunately, she ran into his spider right in her face. She then pro¬ ceeded to feel Harry the Stiff. Not enjoying the feel of his hair, his eyes, his ??? whatever you wish, she slopped bare footedly out through his blood and cremated remains up to the auditorium. After entertaining gleefully and being found guilty by Kangaroo Court, she just plain disappeared. f
