Second Year 1970-1971
The changes we experienced in second year included: classmates from the Annex joining fellow classmates in Anne Street and West Lane Residences, as well as the beginning of our “speciality” rotations. We also, enjoyed our status as students “who were no longer juniors not seniors yet” as we loudly proclaimed in the MHSN 2nd year anthem. We’ve updated the anthem for our 50th Reunion and hope you bring your singing voices with you.
2nd Year Anthem
Previous classes re-wrote the lyrics to “Hey Look us Over” for second year students.
That version and a new version for our 50th Reunion are below
Hey Look us Over 2nd Year Version
Hey look us over, lend us an ear
We’ve been in nursing for over a year
No longer juniors, not seniors yet
We’re right in the middle of everything
We’re intermediates
And, so it’s off to the OPR, 6th and OPD
No more pharm no more anatomy
And its OBS, Psychiatry, GYN and nursery
We have two years to complete and then it’s over …
Composed by Previous MHSN Classes
50-year Reunion Version
Hey look us over, lend us an ear
We’ve been out of nursing for 50 years
No longer students, we’re all getting old
We’re celebrating 50 years
We’re all Alumnae now
And so, here we are to party old MHSN friends
No dancing now without our “Depends”
And with aches, and pains and hot flashes
We’re ready to celebrate!
So, look out Moncton here we come!
Original song Hey Look us Over by Carolyn Leigh & Cy Coleman
