In diet kitchen we wrote up ulcer diets, day 1, 2, 50, 65 as we developed them ourselves. Better take a break ! Somewhere in that year we took time out fo r our half way party and celebrated at the Town and Country. We started our Senior Year by adding a single black band to our caps. Somehow, we seemed more secure and confident. Many evenings were spent singing to guitars, reminiscing how we met, and what it would be like to graduate. Meanwhile, just settle for being a Balleri¬ na -- encore anyone? Before long it was 7 8 way through , and again we got together as a class. While some of the class were finishing specialties, another specialty that wa, i ' ttle slow getting started, suddenly happened. Guess who ' s engaged? Now the student days at Grace are over. Throughout this time I am sure we have all felt that the things that are impossible with men are possible with God . However, these days have been influenced by many people. Little Sisters, you represent many memories; helping us to see that not long ago, we ex¬ perienced many of the same hardships and feelings as you. Now may you see in your Big Sister, that someone, who has travelled the same road ahead of you. You can do it too. During the past two years, you were thought of much more than you were seen. So, may you always remember, you are a very special person. Mom and Dad, who were always so thoughtful --a letter, a care package, a phone call, a ride or a ticket to come home -- always at the right time. Who were always so patient -- may not always have understood the complex mind of their daughter, but did a great job. For all your support, encouragement and love; thank you Mom and Dad for always being there . Thank you to our patients, who have taught us more than any nursing book could have done. Most of all, they have taught us that we can be proud of our profession. Words of thank you and appreciation for our success go to many people at Grace; to Colonel Everett, who was administrator of our hospital during our first two years, and also to Major Thornhill, the present Administrator. Both always had smiles to take the place of many words. To the doctors, who lectured us in classes, and for their teaching, guidance, and patience in the hospital area. To Miss Seeman and all the instructors, for their interest, support and encouragement -- helping us to achieve our goal every step of the way. To Brigadier Wagner, hospital Chaplain and Mrs. Wagner, our house parents, for their help in making residence like home. To our housemothers, who must be the most patient wo¬ men in the world, as they faced the changing moods of students day by day. To Dr. McMillan and Mrs. Dojack, for meeting all our health needs -- big ones and little ones ! Thank you classmates for the honour of being Valedictorian. I am a part of all that I have met . Indeed, this is true. Each member of Class 70 has given to each other in many ways; perhaps a new outlook on other faiths, stimulated laughter in quiet ones, taught others to appreciate silence and how important it is to listen; to share and experience someone ' s happiness, to understand and support another in sad times; to encourage or boost another ' s spirits; to receive words of encouragement. Thank you each of the Class ' 70 for being you . May you have delightful memories -- many of them; good fortunes -- loads of them; and happy days -- all of them. This can be done by taking a moment out of each day to simply re¬ call that, People need people -- Yes, we really do! Barbara Pedersen 23
