Our wish for you is that in the course of your duties you will be able to send forth many ripples of hope, which when crossing other ripples, unite in the breaking down of walls of illness and disease. Congratulations to you each. May your service at all times be such as to merit the blessing of God. M. Everett (Lieut. -Colonel), Administrator. Dr. N.D. McCreath Major H.P.

Provided he knew he had paid his uttermost farthing, what did it matter to him how others justified the result.

Moms and Dads - and - as quite a number of the girls in our class have already at¬ tained a degree, that of Mrs. , we extend a special welcome to their husbands. Three years ago, this evening was but a dream; today it is reality. In recalling all the things we have done and learned perhaps we need not be sur¬ prised that the years have passed so quickly. When we started out on 200 Evanson Street in an old but homey residence we were very unsure of ourselves and very unknowing; yet we tried so hard not to look TOO dumb! Initiation proved that we were at the bottom of the ladder but, also, that we were part of the group of student nurses. The first five months were mainly study. We never knew that we had so many bones and muscles; but when after eight hours on the ward they began to ache and creak, we ceased to doubt their existence. Soon - at a ceremony we will always remember - we received our beautiful white caps. - And now we LOOKED like nurses. By this time we had come to know our roommates rather well. It sure was nice to come off the ward and have someone to listen to our complaints. Occasionally one heard complaints about the roommate as well. One liked it cold - one liked it hot; one went to bed early - the other went late. Then there were those who read and re-read their diaries at twelve midnight while the roommate in the next bed wanted to sleep. Oh well, everybody has to do a certain amount of adjusting and as Miss Seeman said to us early in our training, Just keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground. It seemed but a short time and we were Intermediates. We celebrated this im¬ portant date with a hayride. As the weatherman would have it, we had rain. Needless to say we were all soaked to the skin but since we wound up the party with food and drinks nobody suffered any ill effects. Our panacea for everything was food, if I re¬ member correctly. It was during our second year that our Little Sisters entered the School. How pleasant! I remember evenings spent discussing episodes which happened to us during our first year which might have enabled them to see that we, too, had had our bad days among the good. Then came the time to branch out into different areas. Seven o ' clock was a poor hour to go to work but when it was the first day to the Operating Room it was worse. There were those who liked it and those who didn ' t, but we all admired the skill and dexterity of the surgeons and their capable assistants. In this place we were glad to be gowned, gloved and masked so that none of the doctors would in the future recognize any of us as that student who made that foolish mistake during the operation. Then there was the scrub nurse (a student) who got the three individual ties in her gown each done up in three knots by one of the surgeons. Next day she was innocently asked by him how she had managed to remove her gown. Obstetrics was a new experience. Birth is a miracle and it made us wonder and marvel. What frail, innocent little squirming bundles we worked with in the nursery. Those who had never looked after such small creatures handled them like glass but soon found that they could be loved and cuddled with no apparent damage. The students were always accused of spoiling the babies. In March of our second year we moved to Children ' s Hospital for a ten week stay. Children all day long and what a variety of them. One had to adjust rapidly to their fancies. If they wanted to use you as a horse, then a horse you must be. I am sure many of us got a good review of colouring and relearned the art, probably forgotten since our childhood. Nevertheless we learned much about the physically ill child and also about their normal growth and development. I am sure we will never forget those floats, milkshakes, or chocolate-covered doughnuts for coffee break! The residence lacked some sound-proofing and it was quite a simple matter to carry on a four-way con¬ versation between two rooms. Since our motto was no secrets in this family , that 18 was no hindrance. We had returned to Grace for just a short time when we packed up again. This time for a 12 week stay at Selkirk. Psychiatry taught us much about others and more about ourselves. Here again, the residence was different. We sure utilized the fire escapes as a great means of attaining the fresh night air. The care packages from home were greatly appreciated. Some came all the way from Regina, Saskatchewan. Intensive Care was a valuable three week experience. Here we saw patients who were critically ill and we also saw them gradually improve till they were well enough to be transferred to the wards. Here we realized what intensive nursing means and how the patients profit therefrom. Casualty! In this place one needed three times as many hands, feet and ears as we are endowed with. One mind was enough as it was usually confused enough for six. However, outwardly one remained calm, cool and collected. Many cuts were sutured, wounds bandaged and needles given. It was a good experience and a great place to work. The experience in Diet Kitchen was short but interesting, and the more we learned about minerals, vitamins and calories, the hungrier we got. Not all of the time did we spend studying and working. Remember those bike rides ! An excellent way of relieving frustrations. Did I mention frustrations? They were alleviated in other ways too. Who has not at one time or other told a close friend about her trials and tribulations, just to get relief from knowing that another shared and knew. Many a late night was a result of those discussions - and not always were those dis¬ cussions troubles. I can well remember some late nights spent discussing an engage¬ ment. The lucky one couldn ' t sleep so why should the rest of us. At times when visitors were unwelcome, signs came up like, i am a depressed area , Do not disturb and Many may enter but few may not . Remember our Black Band party celebrated at the Shanghai with all the C hinese food we could eat? There were Christmas parties, hootenannies, wiener roasts and also a lot of bread, peanut butter, honey and jam. Our receptionists must sometimes have wondered where it all went. We say thank you to all who made our residence a home away from home. To Dr. McMillan and Mrs. Dojack belong much of the credit for our good health. We were supplied with salt water and corn syrup - a cure for most of our ills ! Thanks to both of them. We render our due thanks to Colonel Everett, Miss Seeman and those Instructors who helped us to become what we are today - Registered Nurses. We deeply appreciated those people who frequently acted as chauffeurs. Friends, sisters, brothers and boyfriends. They encouraged us also during our three years and often gave good advice as they were detached from our environment. How can we express our thanks to those who meant most to us these three years - Mom and Dad . They listened to us complain; encouraged us in our disappointments, and comforted us when our endeavours failed; rejoiced with us in our successes; pro¬ vided us with our daily needs, and prayed for us in times when strength was sorely needed. For all this and more we, as members of Class ' 69 thank our parents. May we live and work so that they will ever be proud of our achievements. A few words to the Class of ' 69. Firstly, I feel honoured to be chosen as Valedic¬ torian. Thank you! Secondly, many friendships have been formed which I believe will not be quickly forgotten. Let ' s try and keep in touch. Some of our number are not able to be with us tonight - To you, we will just say we have not forgotten you . I wish you all the best of success in the future and into the future can each one of us take this little prayer for everyday living: Great Spirit, grant that I may not criticize my neighbour until I have walked a mile in his moccasins !

This experience was one of the highlights of my training. I soon became aware of the scope of nursing, and realized that our profession is not limited to the hospital situation. While accompanying the nurse I was able to gain in¬ sight into her role in the school, the home and the community. We made pre- and post¬ natal visits, follow-up work on discharges from T. B. sanitoriums, general and mental hospitals. We, as nurses, are made aware of our responsibilities in the area of community health education. Many thanks to all the public health nurses who made this experience so valuable and interesting.

Cathy ' s shower Happiness is a funny thing. You can ' t see it or hear it or touch it and no one has ever really defined it. But those who possess it, treasure it and those who don ' t, often spend their lives searching for it. Happiness comes not from receiving, but from giving of love, sympathy, faith and understanding. And oddly enough, the more we give, the happier we are, the more we have to give. Happiness is a state of mind that depends entirely on you. We talk of others making us happy but this is seldom the case. We make ourselves happy or unhappy by our attitudes to ourselves, our work, our neighbours our World. The truly happy person is the one who can be enthusiastic about the things he has t o do, as well as the things he wants to do. Happiness is a wonderful thing. It is the one gift we can give ourselves, the most precious gift we can wish for others. - Elizabeth M. Gerus - HAPPINESS IS. C. Gorrie - bugging Rosie in History of Nursing class C.

Caps, pins, and black bands are symbols of increasing seniority. But a more valuable indication is a gradually increasing competence in nursing procedures, blended with a growth in personal qualities that are the mark of a mature person. The pressure of studies, the joys and sorrows of ward work, and the companionship of off duty hours are all experiences of a student nurse ' s life which teach valuable lessons. Now graduation marks the end of three years crowded with memories, but a new beginning must be made and new goals set. As each one of us faces new situations, whether as students or new graduates, the words of Ellen H. Underwood have special meaning for us as nurses. The bread that bringeth the strength I want to give. The water pure that bids the thirsty live; I want to help the fainting day by day; I ' m sure I shall not pass again this way. I want to give the oil of joy for tears. The faith to conquer crowding doubts and fears. Beauty for ashes may I give alway; I ' m sure I shall not pass again this way. I want to thank you all for your support and encouragement, and wish you God ' s very best.

Choose your path, go on with it, wherever it may lead you, and God be with you. In future years, we, who have been together for three years will follow different paths to all parts of the world. To my dear classmates, I dedicate this quotation, and it is my hope that this yearbook will travel with you and serve to remind you of the many memories of happy hours and cherished friends that it has been our privilege and joy to share to¬ gether during our training. Of the many people who have worked to make this 1969 publication, in our minds, the best yearbook ever, I have room here to mention only a few. I would like especially to thank Miss A. Draffin and Mrs. A. Crabb, our advisors, who never failed with their support and advice, Mr. Bruce Dilling, photographer, for snapping the best pictures at the worst times, and to my busy staff who were always ready, willing and able. Special thank you to my co-editor who is also my Little Sis and who bore the brunt of my grip¬ ing and shared my worries. Thank you Eileen, and good luck next year. It is my hope, that when you leaf through Our Days Of Grace 1969, you will remember and share again the happiness of Those Three Years. Lynn Weizel Editor Eileen Mutch Co-editor 64 L. Weizel, E.

Lawrence 68 Matthew 7:7,8 Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find; knock and the door will be opened. For everyone who asks, receives, he who seeks, finds, and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. 1968-69 N. C. F. is a testimony to the truth of these verses. At the weekly prayer meetings and more personal prayer-partners, we have learned better communications with each other and with God. We have discovered that it is possible to pray and receive. In the Bible studies, discussions and times of sharing we have discovered amazing truths of importance in practical Christian living. The missionary presentations, films, special speakers, panels, and visiting singing groups have opened many new doors. We have received some insight into the lives of more mature Christians, into the abundant life afforded by the committed Christian, and also into the many opportunities of service available to us as Christian nurses. The social nights, informal discussions, retreats and camps have helped us in dis¬ covering a closer fellowship and more personal relationship with God. I personally would like to thank each member of the committee for all the work they have done, the support and enthusiasm they ' ve shown this past year. A special thank you goes to our sponsor, Phyllis Babcock, and our regional I. V. C. F. staff member, Mary Dewar, for the help and encouragement given. To our seniors we say Good-bye and thank you for your encouragement and guidance. We will miss you in our future activities. ' As we face the future, this challenge comes to each of us: Psalm 37 :4 Delight thyself in the Lord and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Irma Heppner N. C. F. President Here we are again at the end of another successful year for M. S.N. A. I ' m sure you ' ll all agree that the student nurses of Grace can boast of their contribution to the success of our organization. You will recall the Hootenanny in September at Children ' s with the Vicious Circle, the hayride at Grace in October, Med student dance at the General in November, the pizza party at Misericordia in December and the volleyball tournament at C. H. in January. Then, on Valentine ' s Day, Feb. 14, the gala event of the year - the annual Sweetheart Ball took place at the Fort Garry Hotel. Karen MacLeod represented our school as a candidate at the Ball. All the girls looked lovely. The year ended with speakers on C. U. S. O. and nursing in the north, at a mass meeting in March. In all it has been another great year for M. S. N. A. thanks to the work of the inter-school executive, and to our own school representatives: Karen MacLeod - Executive Committee Lynn McDowell - Social Beverly Spenst - Sports Lorna Janis - Posters Joanne Robertson - First year representative Auna Marie Berg --Events Co-ordinator. Thank you all for your support! Karen MacLeod M.S.N. A. Representative 70 KAREN MACLEOD rffrfviecCat6a t la 7 Kjo k Gad Dad This the day your father ' s looked for; Day your mother ' s sewed and cooked for. This their dream and this their mission; Since your birth their one ambition. This is the day for which they ' ve waited; Day when you have graduated. In that cap and uniform you ' re wearing At you now with pride they ' re staring. Theirs the joy while they are living You alone have power of giving. Days of days! On you depending. Your commencement; theirs the ending. As you stand there, and are hearing Friends and loved ones gladly cheering From the way you ' ve toiled and striven Came to them the pride you ' ve given. Should you fail them some tomorrow Just as deep would be their sorrow. Even in your cradle sleeping. You had this day in your keeping. Now from school as you ' re departing And the tasks of life are starting Give them joy and fail them never. Keep their pride in you forever. Edgar A. Guest 71 ' Pxa iccmccf ' Plua I was the smartest student They ever had at Grace For the proficiency Award I should ' ve won the race I was so fast and skillful It almost was a sin I simply cannot understand Why I didn ' t win. When I was a probie Miss Seeman ' s pet was I I scrubbed and oiled my patients Till I thought I ' d die My backrubs were in great demand The patients thought them keen Until I rubbed one by mistake With oil of wintergreen. So for six months I worked and slaved With such efficiency But since I ' m not quite perfect I made a mistake-or-two-or-three It really wasn ' t my fault That those false teeth got mixed up The head nurse said Clean all false teeth So I gathered them all up I put them in a basin And scrubbed them till they gleamed Then I showed them to the head nurse I wonder why she screamed? My patients just adore me They thought I was divine For I ' d give them drinks of water And overlook the fasting sign I was so conscientious Of my patients and their ills That in the night I ' d wake them Just to give them sleeping pills. I next attacked the O. R. Which will never be the same But for the things that went amiss Myself I cannot blame I fainted at the sight of blood But it wasn ' t my decision To fall across the patient ' s laparotomy I didn ' t mean to lose that sponge But I lost count you see The fuss over one little sponge Oh all right--so it was three. During operations the doctor I ' d never wheedle. But as soon as he sewed up the skin Then I ' d ask for my missing needle When the doctors saw that I was scrubbed To help them with their work They either fainted dead away Or else they went berserk I helped one doc so well up there That he offered to operate free He said I was in drastic need of a Cranilithotomy. But the Case Room ' s where I really shone Mid cord clamps, beads, and suctions But somehow during all the rush I ' d forget Miss Rusk ' s instructions Was that--tie, then clamp then cut the cord Or clamp then cut then tie? Now what comes first--the baby ' s beads? Or the drops for his eye? Episiotomy? What ' s that? Oh yes--oh yes the suture. The doctors glared while I unwound And unbright looked my future You can have it in a second. Just be patient for a bit. I just have to untangle these eight knots out of it. I did so well at Children ' s But my work I ' d just begun When they put me as a patient On a ward they call West 1 I did just fine in Public Health Till on a nursing call I went I got lost and my two weeks In Kildonan Park were spent. So back to the wards I trotted As efficient as could be I knew that I could do no wrong The blame ' s not mine you see That the P. P. care on Mat floor With mouthwash once was done Or the waking of the patients at 5 a. m. was begun. incision So you see dear friends I ' m quite a gal The head nurse ' s buddy, the doctor ' s pal Now don ' t you think I deserve congratulating Not for winning an award--just for graduating ?
