Vera Rezansoff If three and one-half years of training in a hospital for mental diseases, in two general hospitals, in a pediatric hospital, and in a tuberculosis sanitarium have not taught you, get to work on a nursing school yearbook and you will become convinced that life consists of: 1. a need —- and you must see it. 2. a need — and you must find a way of filling it. 3. a need — and you must prevent it! You are wise if you look within yourself for resources and you will be called blessed if you can do this happily. —57- answer life’s problems; G. Harder

SPORTS ON PARADE Strikes to spare: Every Tuesday night the Brandon Bowl echoes with the clatter of falling pins as B.M.H. who par¬ ticipate in the bowling league are out once more for a few hours fun. Our talents range from professional scorers to booby prize winners. But even our professionals have trouble getting hold of the ball when the conveyor belt plays tricks on us. We are looking forward to another successful and enjoyable year of bowling as we have had in the past year. Good luck bowlers of ’56-57! Vim — vigor — vitality! These are the three necessary for tennis. On a sunny summer day you cen see these three V’s in action on all five of the well kept tennis courts at B.M.H. For the beginner there are.numerous aches and pains but you will find after the first few times, that you will gain a great deal of pleasure and enjoyment from this game. Figure 8” As the first signs of winter come to the north hill, B.M.H. becomes both skating and curling conscious. On any winter evening you may find many of the girls making off to our own ice sheets with the flashing blades or a flexible broom. O Lord, my God, I dedicate, for Thine own sake, Myself, to Thee for this great work I undertake. Take then, thine eyes and teach them how to see The clearest way to nurse the sick for Thee, My hands—guard them, and show them how to prove. How kind and gentle is a nurse’s love. Guide Thou my feet—give swiftness to their tread In answering every call from the poor sufferer’s bed. Touch Thou my lips, guard Thou my tongue Uttering only words of kindness to each one. Gird me with strength that I my task may bear Help me to play the part of life without a fear— O Lord, I pray, that coming face to face with death I may have faith and hope with each one’s dying bfeath; And when I am a night-nurse, please to guide My actions—be near my patients and watch by my side. O Lord, I ask Thee, hear me while I pray— Be in me—through me—with me—all the way. Virginia D. Homans Before I heard the doctors tell £ The dangers of a kiss, ?
