CI ass j on § These years we ' ll remember Till our life is over, Through study and practice Much knowledge we ' ve gained. Our teachers did guide us And parents have helped us, We ' ve toiled and prayed, Till our goal we have made. These years we ' ll remember Till our life is over, The people we ' ve worked with And friends we have made. Our training is over Fond memories will linger, Our future is before us May God lead us on. Music: We Gather Together Words: Nancy Jeffries Roberta Stutzman j r An Ode to a Lady in White Is there anyone as gentle, As the nurse all dressed in white When she goes about her calling, Through the day and through the night, With kindly words upon her lips And a smile upon her face, She restores mv faith in mankind, As she moves from place to place. Of all the Lord ' s own angels The nurse is of the best, So when she leaves this tearful vale, God grant her eternal rest. This poem was written by a patient to express his opinion of nurses. 12
