CLASS ’57 A Sheila and Terry left Rod and Dave, Back to training and lives to save. These two little Mrs. — their talents range From housework to bedpans — oh what a change! At Children’s in ' Peg — they took a turn (Though with kiddies Terry has experience to burn) Out to Ninette — so close to home, But it snowed night and day — so they couldn’t roam The Grace came next — somewhat of a hurdle They prepared all those formulas with nary a curdle At BMH they are back to stay And you should hear them shout Hurray!” Hazel CARLSON Wiser and surer in her ways Her good work deserves a lot of praise. Marie DUNN A local girl, she is unusually quiet, But watch out for Dunn, and for her riot. On wards her manner is so kind, With knowledge she doesn’t lag behind. Adeline DOWD Extroversion is her diagnosis In her work or in her play. At cheery word in large doses Will make pleasant a patient’s stay. Audrey SLOYCHUK Brown eyes with a curly top In her profession she’ll not flop. An efficient air, and a quick smile So many pepole her number dail. Joyce LEE A pleasant look, a gleam in her eye— What more is needed for the patient shy? Helen WALTER Walter is the gal for us You never find her in a muss Quick and efficient in her way This girl will never go astray. BACK, L. to R.: M. Dunn, A. Dowd, J. Lee. FRONT, L. to R.: H.

DAUPHIN GENERAL AFFILIATES FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Miss D. Monson, Miss E. Erwen, Miss A. Ross, Miss S. Nicholson. This year the D.G.H. students experienced something different and that was our affiliation at the Brandon Hospital for Mental Diseases. Here we received our Psy¬ chiatric training which lasted a period of three months. Half of our class affiliated here in January and the remainder of the class beginning in September. Everything seemed strange at first and no doubt we were a bit anxious when we first went on wards. It did not take us long before we felt at home, as the instruc¬ tresses and fellow students made us a part of their training school. Our classes were most interesting. Here we learned how to care for the mentally ill patients and how to apply our knowledge on the wards. The doctors and instructors very patiently and willingly taught us all the interesting classes which pertained to our course. So to everyone, we would like to say, Thank You for all your kindness during our affiliation. We are sure this will be a memorable part of our training.
