It has been the job of the editorial staff to try to convey some of the hard works, exciting challenges and fun events which we have experienced this past year and indeed, since our first days at Charity Hospital School of Nursing. As with most things, there has been a mixture of the old and new, of comings and goings. While dedicated staff such as Mrs. Nash will be deeply misse, we are thankful for our new building and look forward to even greater educational and recreational opportunities for student nurses. I have had a wonderful three years. I have met many people who will be life-long friends. I have studied hard to meet uncompromising yet unexcelled, standards in nursing education, and have had the thrill and pride of accomplishment. I have prepared to become a self-sufficient, contributing member of society, and a prac¬ titioner of an old and noble profession, whose values of work, discipline and benfit to others seem even more needed these days. I look forward to the future. We should all be proud of our school, our class and ourselves. I will miss you all. Best of luck. Elren Davis Editor 125 127
