INSPIRATION Or is it sadness; an indescribible feeling A taste of joy, knowledge, contempt, pride, sorrow, vanity Made big perhaps — but deeply felt Defined? to wish it were. Alas, what a view of humanity would be exposed. Frustration. Wants or is it Defiance? Defying whom? the Gods.Yourself Think of love, presenting warmth, security Feel loved; but only for the time light takes to travel. Analyze the world, only to get involved, my friend With further frustrations An impossible task! never happiness Regress with habits; effective for too short a while! Forgetting for the wise Surrender for the thoughtful Oblivion for the shallow Hell for the Undaunted Struggling Fighter. D. POSNER GIRL AT THE WINDOW” There in silent solitude, standing at the pane, Stands a lonely figure, crying softly to the rain. As the setting sun sinks slowly to the waiting earth below. The solitary shadow cries for one who does not know. She is crying for a lost love in the chambers of her heart, She is crying for a lost love in a dream world far apart; For her innocence is brimming as a rosebud is with dew, And she cannot lift her spirits or ever smile anew. 0, The cruelness of a young man to see and never know, Of the tender heart that ' s waiting and the love she cannot show; So she stands with head bowed deeply as the sun with waning light. Casts it’s shadow on the window and the girl that stands in night.

“THE CONQUEST” Four men rode together on the plains and hills and down, In the lead there came a red man, then a white, a black, a brown. By a twist of Fate they gathered near a roaring ruddy sea, And they swore to be blood brothers undearneath an olive tree. Tho’ each came from foreign castle yet each heart had one true ring, All were brave and loyal and steadfast, each could laugh and each could sing. But ' twas here the footsteps faltered and the mists blurred o’er the gaze, For a forked trail caused a sorrow and a parting of the ways. Then two there rode together to the left and shoddy side, While the others were compelled to take the rolling, wrathful tide. But before the trails were taken well a final stop and rest. Each of the four shed but one tear and hid it in his breast. And thus Fate by a mighty hand decreed the four to go, To roam the weary wasted world and to the sinners show That love of fellow man is strong and can be stronger still In a heart that’s full of cheer and peace And a bent determined will. All the four died strong and young for strutting out their show, One died by knife, one fire one flood, one fell when struck a blow. But the tragic song that echoed through the poor and sickly land, Was that each died not by alien death but common coloured hand. Now the four lie deep in sleep and never ride the more. But even though they died so brave, it has not closed the door. They did not live in vain, for by earth they are not pinned, The four ride still together on the billows of the wind.

WHAT IS A STUDENT NURSE A Student Nurse is a Probie in gray-blue uniform, with an arm-load of books, headed for the library. A Student Nurse is a frightened young girl, with basin in hand approaching her first real patient. A Student Nurse is someone with a glow in her eyes as she recites the Nightingale Pledge Her new, white, Bible in her hand, and her first rose waiting for her in her room. A Student Nurse is an Intermediate with special trainings before her. She i s many things - At the C.H. she is a young woman with a child in her arms. At Psycho she becomes a Mother Confessor. At the Mat. she seems a helpmeet and a friend, to the excited new Mothers. She is a person with new knowledge and new responsibilities. She is — Knowledge with a flashlight in her hand, Sincerity with a smile on her face, and Hope with tears in her eyes. For three years she is a treasured person, Needed by so many people. She is - A shining example, to her young friends. Protected by her hospital, Teased by the Internes, and Loved by her patients. For three years she is all this and more. At the end of three years she is a young woman, reluctantly leaving the Residence and her many friends, with baggage in hand and a heavy heart. But these years will never be forgotten — The understanding instructors, the brave and not-so-brave patients. The parties and tete-a-tetes in the rooms after Evenings, and Her first Christmas Card from a grateful patient. And as she remembers, she is grateful to all those who made it possible for her, at last, to become a NURSE. -D.A. Buys.
