THE CADUCEUS 15 NE W5 CONDUCTED BY MISS ELIZABETH P. UZELMEIER LIKED THINGS HERE. Letters from the girls who have re cently been transferred from here to other hospitals are filled with en thusiasm for the work and life at Camp Greene, which they with deep regret had to leave. Most of all they miss our cheery dining room and well- cooked meals and the general atmos phere of “home” which pervades our quarters. The lack of recreational facilities such as have been provided here has also been keenly felt. We who have been fortunate enough to remain greatly appreciate the senti ment which has been" expressed, for the day will come when to us, also, our work and stay here will be but a pleasant memory. ~ DISCHARGED. Illness in her immediate family has caused Miss Ruth Grimes of Derby, Iowa, to return to her home. She will not return to continue her course as a student nurse. SUCCESSFUL OPERATION. Miss^ Sarah Hall of Brookline, Mass., student nurse, was operated upon n Wednesday afternon. The operation was very successful, and Miss Hall is improving rapidly. HER ORDERS. (By Lieut. J. H. Crampton, Fourth Eng. Tn. R’egt., Camp A. A. Hum phreys, Va., in Judge.) A very 'homesick darkey trooper, re turning from the fighting in Prance, looked up, hat in hand, as the trans port passed the Statue, 'of Liberty and murmured; “Well, lady, ifvyou ever wants to •see dls here nigger again you gotta 'about face.” MISS HER NOW. The nurses in the “A” street quar ters face a bleak breakfastless fu ture. No more at 6 a. m. will we hear the cheery call, “Time to get up, girls! —Pete!” It is with sincere regret we lose our faithful bugler. Miss Sohim- melman, who returned to civilian life this week. Mrs. Cressman is visiting her daugh ter, Katherine Cressman, one of'the student nurses. THE PROB They say that she was greener than a gourd And that she couldn’t make a pot of tea; A broom and she wei-e strangers at the start And making beds to her a mystery. When things began to happen thick and fast And some of them would try the nerve of Job; They have sung of inany heroes in the past But none stand out more bravely than the Prob. You can bet that she has nerve, and grit and sand You can bet-that she is everything that’s fine; She’s the sister of the'Man who vol unteered And stepped out with the others into We have written rhymes about the gay Poillu, Who wades around in mud up to his knees; And of the Tommy and the Yankee too. Who are now the food for cooties and the fleas, She used to be her mamma’s darling child. Her father owned a railroad line or ^ two. But now she’s giving colored men a bath. And sticking by the guns and fight ing “Flu.’’ She has blisters on her hands and feet and knees. She has aches along her spine and in her chest; But she’s bringing to the racked-with- pain surcease— And it’s not her Bit she’s giving but her Best. They say she studied voice in Berlin. • Her maid) they say, she found in Paris, France, And in a social way, she’s strictly “in,” And was a perfect belle at every dance. But now she’s straining every joint and nerve She’s cast aside the winning wiles of Cirie, line. ATTENDS CONFERENCE. Miss Susan G. Parish, chief nurse, received orders to proceed to Wash ington, D. G., for the purpose of at tending a conference on business of the medical department, held January 14. She returned Wednesday evening. TO THOSE WHO WOULD GO BACK. You who are weary with staying away. Since the work seems,useless and day by day The hours chafe by in the old routine With never a glamour left nor sheen. Nor even a thrill in the space for play— You who are weary with staying away— ’ Remember the will whose words are dumb. Remember the faith that made you come. You had a vision; hold to it now; Steady the nerve; for always—some how— Out of the grime a glory may rise Richer and clearer and nearer the skies; And out of the toil that is sickening you May issue a spirit selfless and true. CALLED HOME. Miss Pauline Doherty, student nurse, was suddenly called to her home in Flint, Mich., on account f the illness of her sister, leaving this hospital Jan uary 13. She does not expect to re turn. Miss Emma Schimmelman, R. N., A. N. C., left for her home in Evans ville, Ind., .lanuary 15, having receiv ed her discharge orders. In every lowly job she’s putting nerve To win the splendid title—Army Nurse. You can bet that she has nerve and grit and sand. You can bet that she is everything that’s fine. She’s the sister of the Man who vol unteered And stepped out*'with the others into line. in The Camouflage. Lieut. Dorsey.
