O land of tea and glucose, And diabetics by the score, Where streams of chocolate milkshakes Shall run forevermore,- Where Chapman fixed her first baked eggs And never lived them down,- Where stately Florence held full sway And Art was Old King Clown,- Remember dummies heaped with trays Never failing to go wrong? Remember eating breakfast late And nibbling all day long r ' We didn ' t give much nursing care But life was really quite a song. 27

Our first glimpses of Stickney as we climbed unending stairs,- fHow it felt to see tfiose dingy rooms and iron chairs,- Eight hours of classes every day, and scads of homework dour; And hide and seek with ' Andy during most of study hour. Remember every Monday throwing laundry down the well ? And just one phone for all of us, which we all swore was . ' : . The wonder of first uniforms, and the horror of white hose,- The panic of procedures, and how you simply froze,- That long-lost Christmas vacation, now tucked away in dreams,- The hopes and fears, and toil and tears, and our ambitious schemes. Impossible it s ju st three years a million s what it seems!

The way Geza could burn,- The way gloves wouldn t turn; The way I strove to learn — OR, you can ' t take those away from me. The view from M-19 at night,- Damp-dusting every light,- Bronchoscopy s green sight; OR, you ' ll never leave my memory. 28 I may never, never clean again Chandler ' s chisels and Rongeurs; But I won ' t forget his stately mien In a hundred years, that ' s sure. Mopping Eric Oldberg ' s broW; Strohl ' s mutton tallow NOW; The duckpond s mess, and how! OR, you ' ll always be these things to me.
