4J j J Oa. Congratulations, new graduates. As you begin to practice your profession, may you be conscious of God’s blessing. The past is behind, the future before, but the present is now. Grasp your opportunities and live your ideals. Eleanor P. Johnson, Captain Director of Nursing. Dear Graduates, On this day early fears are banished, dreams have mate¬ rialized, hopes are fulfilled and joy is uppermost. This is how it should be and I sincerely congratulate you each on attaining the standard of excellence which permits you to be known as Graduates.” This is the beginning only and as you go from us to continue your vocation, I would remind you of the words of J. M. Barrie, Prizes may be dross, learning lumber, unless they bring you into the area with increasing understanding.” As you go forth, I pray that God will go with you. Muriel Everett, Brigadier Administrator Congratulations to each and every Graduate. As you apply your skills in this changing and challenging scientific world may you find great happiness and satisfaction in service to others. N. D. McCreath, M.R.C.P. (Lond.) Page 8

Sincere congratulations to the Class of 1964 in the passing of an important milestone. Your Instructors have guided you in seeking answers to the problems of nursing today. Yours is the challenge to ans¬ wer the questions which have not yet been asked. Continue, then, in your active search for knowledge; accept the best of new ideas, or, perhaps, develop your own. If you do this with the enthusiasm and discern¬ ment which you have shown in the past, we can be assured that you will serve your pro¬ fession faithfully, and will bring honor and credit to your school. Director-Inservice Education My Congratulations to each one of you as you graduate. The world now opens before you, and my hope is that you may find the work that God has set apart — for you — and for you alone to do. As you strive to fulfill your des¬ tiny, let the “Idealist” in you reach for the stars; and let the “Realist” in you keep you steady through the joy and sorrow that is life. John Townsend Trowbridge has said: “Not in rewards, but in the strength to strive, The blessing lies.” May God be with you and Bless you. Director of Nursing Education. • -»g 1 Page 10
