If you can hear the whispering about you. And never yield to d.eal in whispers, too; If you can bravely smile when loved ones doubt you And never doubt, in turn, what loved ones do; If you can keep a sweet and gentle spirit In spite of fame or fortune, rank or place, And though you win your goal or only near it, Can win with poise or lose with equal grace; If you can meet with Unbelief, believing, And hallow in your heart a simple Creed. If you can meet Deception, undeceiving, And learn to look to God for all you need; If you can be what girls should be to mothers: Chums in joy and comrades in distress, And be unto others as you’d have the others Be unto you — no more, and yet no less: If you can keep within your heart the power To say that firm, unconquerable “No”; If you can brave a present shadowed hour, Rather than yield to build a future woe; If you can love, yet not let loving master, But keep yourself within your own self’s clasp, And not let Dreaming lead you to disaster, Nor Pity’s fascination loose your grasp: If you can lock your heart on confidences, Nor ever needlessly in turn confide; If you can put behind you all pretenses Or mock humility or foolish pride; If you can keep the simple, homely virtue Of walking right with God — then have no fear That anything in all the world can hurt you — And — which is more — you’ll be a Woman, dear. By J. P. McEvoy, Suggested by Kipling’s “IF”. To the GRADUATES A NOTHER class has successfully passed along the path-way of training, and reached the final glorious destination — Graduation, and we. the proba¬ tioners of 1945, stand at the very beginning of that path, watching them go. They have weathered the storm, and surmounted the obstacles that have loomed ahead, and now, the future stretches out before them with all it’s shining opportunity and adventure. We wish them luck in whatever they may do, and we feel that they will achieve glorious ends, for they have behind them the backing of a marvelous institution, and the best possible training. Some day we hope to be in their positions, but in the meantime we will try to follow the fine example set by those who have gone before us, until we too are ready to take our places with them in the service of mankind.
