They call II the City olMedicine,
Thenwhere isthe cure?
Hunger, poverty, violence...
What is the answer?
We need to work together,
Lenda "helping hand."
We areall family, trying to survive
in this society, that doesn't givea damn.
—Cathy Guthrie

It is saidthatparents
UCtimatefy
3-tave onCy two things
To give their chiCdren:
and
Hoots... wings.
Is this not also true
Ofthose who teach in coCCeges?
The objective ofany course:
Include the content
findacquaint the student
'With the requiredcourse materiaQ
find,just as sureCy,
That course shouCdgive
Tach student wings,
To go on tofurther study
Or out into the worCd,
and
fippCying the insights the skiCCs,
findmaking that worCda BetterpCace
