Within the chopel of the Immcculote Hecrt of Mory, Sundoy eveningr, February 10th, 1957, thirtyJive preclinicol students nectly clod in blue uniforms crrd white cdps were occepted into our school when they were presented with the symbolic lomps of the nursing profession, The lcmps repkrced the trcditionol cupping ceremonies which took pJoce in the hospitol ot the end ol the precliniccl period' This impressive ceremony opened ot 7.00 p.m., when the students entered the chcpel as the choir song "Lody of Light." Hcrving tc*en their ploces ot the front ol the chopel, they were oddressed by Rev' Fother Fcnenzenc. At this time, Fcrther reminded them of the true quolities of c nurse: thot she is not the hard qnd selfish womqn, os olten referred to, but rother o wholesome, loving, ond understonding individuol who is endeqvouring to serve ond not to be served. To emphosize this, Fother relcrted the the pc.roble ol the Ten Virgins with their lomps, going lorth to meet the bridegroom. However, Iive lomps did not bum becqu'se ol insufficient fuel. In this wcry Fother brought home to us thot nurses ore ct selective group who connot do iustice to the nursing profession unless their lomps cre buming with love cmd chcnitY. Our speoker thonked the porents for the up-bringing of their children to the wonderlul profession. The silver lomps were then lit cnd presented to the students by the clinicql teqchers: Leonorcr Covollin ond Elizcrbeth Forbes. Holding the burning lomps before thern, the students recited the Jeonne Mqnce Pledge dediccting themselves to o life of devoted service. p*oiJ"nt'o Tilnooare Our formol education is indispensqble to the ottcrining of our scholostic gool. However, certoinly os importcnrt to our development os individuqls is the worm compcrrionship of our fellows ccndthe constcrrt guidqnce and aid of countless individuqls. I would therefore, like to extend our thonks to Sister St. Louis ond to the Sisters of St. Ioseph lor their pcrtient guidcrrce; to the Medicol Stoff; to oll within the community who hcrve helped to support the work oi the Students' Council; crrd to Mr. Gcinor who wos olwcrys so responsive to our need Ior q mccn's helping hond. It wqs o privilege to have been chosen hesident of the Students' Council. I thonk you not only for the honour of being your president but crlsofor the lesson in lecdership. I leomed not of the leoder's importcmce,but ol the importccnceo{ those who support her work. I only hope I wqs qble to give the student body even cr smcll portion ol oll thot you gcrve to me. It is time once ogoin in our student qovemment to be out with the old ond in with the new. Better still in with the new ideos which ore often strcnge but refreshing.To the new Students' Associcrtionwhich will reploce the previous form of government I wish the most successi.One mcry rest ossured thcrtthe wish is not in vcrin for the Associqtion is under the leodership ol o very oble crnd well chosen executive. The crttoinment of knowledge is the gool for which we hove struggled crnd qre struggling from doy to doy. Often, we lose sight of the sqlient loct thot in the process we qre mcrturing os individuqls os well, olten seemingly in spite of ourselves. It wcs just such q situotion which coused Andre Mourois to write the following quototion, ond in so doing point out the woy we crll must go in being true to ourselves ond to our common ultimote gool, both crs students cmd young women. "Leoming is nothing without cultivoted mcrnners, but when the two crre combined in s womqn you hove one ol the most exquisite products of civilizcrtion." ANNE A. KOTANEN, hesident, Student Council. Uo/n*'to*,tr, Three yeors ogo, we, the groduotes ol high schooli from vorious poris of the province, stood trqnslixed in wonder os the portols of the nursing profession opened to odmit us - opened to o lile of dedicotion ond service veiled in the mystery ol cr nurses' uniform. How eoger we were to begin our trcining, qnd now qs the three short yeors of our lormql nursing educqtion come to on end, we view in retrospect, not only our individuol progress but the progress ol nursing in its entirety.

'Twas the worst case ol neglect that wcs ever recorded, These potients whose pcin Pilote hcd ordered. On three hord beds in the shcpe of c Cross, Without pillow or blcrnket, no nurse would endorse. Now the One in the center our qttention should claim; Jesus of Nqzqreth, the chort gove His nctrne. A ccrrdioc condition, exqminers find Excessive love for the whole ol mqnkind. Now you who qre nurses, just listen to this; Unsterilized noils pierced His leet cnd His wrists, And whqt crbout this for cruel medication? Vinegor ond goil were His lips' levicrtion. His bock men wounded by blows ond welts, Yet no soothing ointment relieved the hurts, No cold compress wos cpplied to His eyes; The world's greotest lover just hongs ihere ond dies. Not cr groin of morphine, not a toumiquet set As Mcry's Son slowly bleeds to deoth. The chort then concluded, cs further we see, "The sod Mqn from Nozcneth died about three."
