I2 ACTA NOSTRA G. C. V. I. Day after day. week after week, ten months of the year we find ourselves coming to school. Yes, when you come to think of it, we spend a considerable amount of our time at G.C.V.I. But how often have we stopped to realize what our school really is or what our school means to us? G.C1.V.I. is a place to meet people and make new friends. The day we be- gan attending here we began doing this very thing. XVe have enjoyed making these lriends because they are our own age and have interests and aims similar to ours. G.CI.V.I. is a place to discover and develop our talents. XVe are given many opportunities to do so in a number of fields such as music, drama, art, athlet- ics. photography. Many activities are arranged lor us: many people are willing to help us. but it is up to us to make good use of the opportunities provided lor us. G.C.V.I. is a place in which to take on responsibility and show leadership. You may be elected to the Students' Council or perhaps you will be chosen to be on the executive of a club. Often you will be asked to take part in school functions. .Xnd all of these are chances to develop your sense of responsibility and leadership. G.Cl.V.I. is a place to learn. This is most important of all and is the main lunction ol the school. lt lays the found- ation Ior all other activities, The staff is comprised ol devoted teachers who are willing to give ol their time and knowledge lor the furthering ol our ed- ucation. XVe should never lorget how ninth the education we receive now may mean in later years. XVhen we combine all these things we lind that G.Cl.V.I. is a place where we are given the opportunity to prepare ourselves for the future. Here we build our foundation for the years to come and we should build a strong one lor perhaps it will determine our success in coming years. Remember - the fu- ture is ours. -Kathy Kohlman XA NURSING AS A PROFESSION As we all know, the actual, respectable profession of nursing began about one hundred years ago when Florence Night- ingale cared for the sick and wounded on the Crimean battlefields. Until that time, the sick had been nursed by men and a few women of disreputable char- acter in dirty, germ-infested hospitals . Florence Nightingale and many others raised the standards of care for the sick, but it took many long years for the pub- lic to recognize this profession as an honorable one lor the modest woman to enter. Today, nursing has become a top-ranking career for girls. For the reliable, responsible girl with a sense of humour and a spirt of toler- ance, generosity, and sympathy, as well as a healthy physique and neat appear- ance, a girl who wishes to help her fel- low man in some tangible way. nursing is the career. Besides having had a thor- ough, interesting training in excellent schools with many extra-curricular activ- ities, the graduate nurse is assured of a good income, good working conditions, and excellent chances for advancement in many fields. In many schools of nursing, the stud- ent nurse is granted a small sum of money each month for use as pocket money. The amount of this honorar- ium varies with the school, but reaches lorty or fifty dollars a month for the 'third year in at least three Ontario schools. As stall' nurse. the graduate nurse receives a starting salary of two thousand dollars, and top administrative posts offer up to eight thousand dollars. The graduating nurse choosing her special field has many choices: she may become a staff nurse in a hospital, or an industrial nurse: she may enter pri- vate nursing. flight nursing, or the field of wellare nursing, or she may take uni- versity courses to further equip her for top jobs, or write special examinations permitting her to nurse in foreign lands. And the need for nurses is increasing tremendously year after year. If you want to feel desperately needed, choose nursing for your career as hundreds of other lucky 'girls have done! -Mary Ord XIIIC
