40 IN CAP AND UNIFORM VALEDICTORY Three years have passed! A very commonplace statement in itself, but what a wealth of meaning it holds for us of the Calgary General Hospital’s Graduating Class of 1940. The three years spent here are crowded with memories of varied impressions, from that first day of registration when we walked into Miss Macdonald’s office with much apprehension, to the all important day when we receive our pins and diplomas. It is with a mingled feeling of regret and anticipation that we say farewell. Regret? Yes! At leaving our adopted home and all those who have meant so much to us. But also a great anticipation for all that the future may hold for us, both in the strenghening of friendships formed here and in the singular opportunities which our profession extends to us. And now it is our turn to step over the threshold into the adventure for which we have been preparing, we would say “thank you,” one and all, who have shown your interest in us by giving unstintingly of your knowledge and council throughout these past three years. May we earnestly endeavor to express to you our sincere appreciation by striving to live up to the high ideals and example set us by those who have gone before, as is expressed in our motto, “Spectemus Agendo”—Let us be seen by our deeds. M. PATTISON.

IN CAP AND UNIFORM 39 THE BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS As pay-day nears We’re in arrears, With no car fare We walk for air. Our hopes are high, But cars fly by. Our feet they ache, We slack our gait. We look behind— : the road is clear, A good long walk is what we fear. Suddenly a car appears And silently we give three cheers. We glance behind at the license plate— Hurrah! it belong to a familiar crate. With no more worry We’re told to hurry. We settle down And go to town. WIT and HUMOUR Who heard Barnes advertising Palmolive Soap? Was Dr. McNab surprised when Dr. Dixon congratulated him on the birth of a son at 3 a.m. •— Sorry—wrong number. We wonder if Caddick knows the art and principals of Parlour Rugbj r yet? Is Chief Wet Blanket Polley still stopping traffic on Riverside Boulevard? Tommie: Where in — did I get this hair net? Cole’s theme song — “I cried for you !” What chain barred what door against what intruder? Remember the night 2nd east sent a flood call to 4th east—who left the tap running? Things We’ll remember— Anderson—Speeches. Barnes—Cap. Moore’s—Blushes. Farnsworth’s— ' Giggles. Gold’s—Sneezes. Spiff’s—Man Trouble. Cozick’s—Hair. Hunter’s—Aviator. Pattison’s—Sailor. Dawson’s—Highlander. Rois’—Sleepiness. Escaped! One patient from 1st W est. Who gave chase?
