NURSING CLASS OF 1975

Graduation has come
Can't believe that it's true
I've actually completed
L.P.N. School!

It's August 1st, the year, '75
The last day of school, and,
we're all still alive!

There's laughter and joy
not one with a pout
Both happy and sad,
that school has let out.

The classroom lay empty
and "still" as a mouse
While back in the office
new plans are laid out.

For the coming new class
Patricia and Maggie prepare
We're proud of these two
they're a remarkable pair.

They taught and coached us
and supervised too
They've sure shown us patience
to get us all through.

It must have been difficult
for Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Tower
To keep us all quiet, and,
sit through the hour.

Now! Chaplain Palmer
those lectures you gave
Was so far over our heads
they rode like a wave

Now the "75" class
had talent galore
Poets, artists, Musicians
and Photography!! and more!

There were youngies and oldies
and in betweens too
We had only one "male"
females------twenty-two.

I prefer my experience
to the "theory" learned
Whew!! What mental exhaustion
our license, we've earned.

Our classes have ended, but!
our brains' just begun
To study for "state boards"
then, the battle is won.

So long everybody
be seeing you soon
Set your standards and goals high
but not to the moon.

My child-hood dream
at last is a fact
I followed the road
kept on the track.

To God be the glory
t'was his will I know
I shall always be grateful
where ever I go.
