Dear Seniors, Hn Qpeia Letter to the Seniors We saw the notice on the bulletin board today, Senior graduation, May 17th, I94I. All student nurses are expected to be presentf' Yes, we will be present, not only because it is expected of us but also because we feel happy and honored to do so. We want to attend your graduation as an expression of our appreciation of you. You have been an inspiration to us and we will watch your graduation with many conflicting emotions-with happiness because you have achieved your goal after three years of diligent striving toward one purpose and with sorrow because you will no longer be with us every day. When we entered, you were the class just ahead of us-our guiding light, so to speak-whatever you said was law. We gathered by hordes in your rooms aftev classes to listen wide-eyed and open-mouthed to your discussions on the many inter- esting things you had done during the day. After we went on the floors, you aided us by giving us the proper instructions on answering lights, you laughingly encouraged us when we juggled patients' trays on our shoulders, you charted for us until we were able to chart for ourselves, you were our friends when we needed friends the most. Later when we were on relief and night duty, you cooperated with us in carrying out the Doctors' orders so our floor and our school would not be discredited. Your patience and kindness during our two years together will be memorable in days to come. In looking toward the future, you are hesitant about leaving now that it is time and we are reluctant to see you go. You have had many difficulties during your stay here, but then there are innumerable happy incidents to remember. To have a pleasant memory of any one part of life, you will have to learn that remembering is sweet. I-low else could we live? Push the unpleasant experiences out of your mind and in their place keep the pleasant experiences such as your childhood days, your school days, and your student nursing days here at St. Anthony. Keep these memories with you always. They will brighten the days ahead of you. Don't let yourselves become so engrossed in your work that these memories are brushed aside, refresh yourselves by reviewing them occasionally. So Seniors of I94I, press forward secure in the knowledge that you will be fortified with this host of pleasant memories against whatever may come your way. Remembering will bring joy and contentment. May we wish you success in all you do. Keep with you the high ideals instilled into your very being by your instructors and you will be a graduate nurse worthy of bearing the title HRe istered Nursef' ' g Your co-workers, THE IUNIOR5. -23 -- ,, -. ., Q.- -mv .---f ,fe 1, ---'ww'-'-:-f -Hg - -.-- fr-A - -1- 1- 'mf' A-' 1' ' ' ' ' ' ' 'V' ' ' ' ' t' '- ' f .1 2' f'r.- 1 jf' !

DEDICATED TO MY SWEET NURSES, St. Anthony Hospital, Room 177 SOUNDS from 'Ped Earth I woke as midnight turned upon its purple hinges And heard the sounds day hides within the core of silence, The lonely dew that wept beside the sleeping lilies. I heard the stars play hymns on gold and silver organs, I heard the moths steal honey from the dreaming rosesig The fairies snipping patterns out of crimson gauze, The cocoons spinning wings of black and yellow spangles. I heard the forest chant a story to its children As I awoke at midnight. I woke as midnight turned upon its purple hinges And heard the mosses sprouting on the ,rotting shingles. I heard the cobwebs weaving garments for the rafters, Lost echoes searching up and down the dusty stairway. I heard the attic step, and step, among the spiders. I heard the Gnomes that sit and snigger on the bedpostsg The Things that rock in empty chairs and set them creaking. One secret sound was stranger far than all the others, I heard a laugh that had been left among the worries A5 I awoke at mldmghf' -IENNIE I'IARRIS OLIVER. DZ7...
