We know that you will benefit, as we have, from your training at this hospital and the affiliated hospitals. In effect, we wish that you may derive meaning and pleasure from each day's opportunities and retain your dedication to the service of mankind.

Today it is my honour and privilege to relate to you some of the developments that led to this momentous day. support, and just as frequently received them. You have listened attentively as we related our misfortunes, and shuddered as we recounted our misdeeds. Yet, equally important, you have instilled us with the confidence required to explore an untried avenue, then rejoiced with us as we advanced along that new path- On September 11th, 1961, each of us arrived at the residence door, weighted down with our baggage and anxieties, only to be relieved of the physical load and lifted in spirits by our - Big Sisters - . During our first uncertain year our Big Sisters helped to steady our course with their sage suggestions ; their support was invaluable in keeping our morale at a high level. way. Your allowances for our sombre moods and light purses were much appreciated. This, our Graduation Day, is your dividend, and we dedicate this day to you. As our three-year period nears its end, we come before you to receive the Pin and Diploma that symbolize our dedication to the nursing profession.

Throughout our varied and sometimes trying experiences, Miss Lewis, Miss Markle, and the teaching staff have set us an exemplary guideline to follow, then have made themselves available to direct us safely along our chosen pathway. As we depart, we will remember the people who have presented us with the challenge to keep open the lines of communication for learning and living. Thus we pledge ourselves to the service of God, the physicians with whom we will Sometimes there were sheets that wouldn't be smoothed, and patients who work, and the people for whom we will care. couldn't be soothed . . . then came a timely address by one of the Linda Liddle spiritual leaders of the community, whose words inspired us to continue our tasks with renewed strength and enthusiasm. This was the occasion of the impressive Capping Ceremony on February 7th, 1962. We were congratulated on completing the first significant phase of the nursing profession, and reminded that, in truth, our education in this field of service had just begun. Today's Graduation Ceremony marks the completion of the second meaningful phase of our careers, and we — as graduating nurses — realize now that Graduation Day denotes the termination of our educational period as student nurses and, at the same time, signifies the beginning of our careers as professional nurses. In order to perform effectively as professional nurses, we must continue to increase our knowledge, to grow in stature, and especially, to sustain an abiding love for our fellowman. We pray that these ideals will remain with us always. During our student days, there have been men and women who have prayed with us and have ministered to us ; we are thankful indeed to those who have given us the spiritual strength so much needed in the practice of our profession. We are grateful too for the kindness of members of the Medical Staff and the Nursing Staff of the hospital who have given us invaluable assistance as we strove toward our goal of becoming more capable in the techniques of caring for our patients. In addition, they have found time to volunteer enlightening facts of clinical interest to us throughout our courses. Because of their help we have become more skilled and better prepared to meet the total needs of the patient. We appreciate their interest, and we extend a warm - thank you - to all hospital personnel for their generosity in our many times of need. 60 61 Proud families and friends Award winners SONS OF HIPPOCRATES SUPERVISORS AND HEAD NURSES SUPERVISORS: Surgery: Miss Bancroft C.S.R.: Mrs. Lemon Assistant Director of Nursing: Mrs. Hall In emergency Obstetrics: Mrs. Roloson - Miss Clark Evening and Night Supervisor Miss Hicks and Billie Medical: Miss Miller EVEN1N GS AND NIGHTS: Mrs. Small Medical Floor: 4th Mrs. Slough, 3rd Miss Pow, Supervisor Miss Miller, 5th Miss Howard. 4s. .."0.• Art.

But what I mean by 'better women' is that the eyes of your souls have been opened, the range of your sympathies has been widened, and your characters have been moulded by the events in which you have been participators during the past years.
