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

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

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
