Address from FATHER FLEMING It is my sincere pleasure to con¬ gratulate you on the attainment of your graduation. Congratulations are in order, for each graduation is a stepping stone in the walk of Life. At times the next stop seems long and rough — perhaps it was rough, but you have made it, and the self-sacri¬ fice and discipline attained in making it, has made you better women. At times we are tempted to lose sight of where this walk of Life is leading. We tend perhaps to make a last goal of something in this life, when in reality, it is the attainment of the happiness of Heaven. Keep in mind then, that your graduation is not the end and all for you, but a step — a tremendous one indeed — but a step only. It is a tremendous one because the very nature of the Nursing profession lends itself to the practice of virtues, which lead you to your ultimate end. Indeed, to be a true nurse, patience, kindness and charity are demanded to an heroic degree. Supernaturalize the virtues, by your motive of love of God and Heaven is yours. That this may be your reward, after a long life of happy service in your profession, is my prayer for all of you. God bless you. Sincerely in Christ, Denis E. Fleming. YEAR BOOX, 1955 PAGE FIVE

Address from SR LECLERC . . My dear graduates, Today you have achieved your goal. Three years of exact¬ ing study and preparation are behind you! As the doors of the future swing open before you, you are ready to go forward and carry with integrity and devotion the responsibilities of your nursing career. May you always realize that service to humanity is the true criterion of success in any Christian life. Ever mindful of the high ideals of. your profession, may you take with you, as you leave our Nursing School, the thought so well expressed by William Penn: I shall pass through this world but once. Any good thing, therefore, that I can do, or any kindness I can show to any fellow human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again. May God ' s blessings accompany you! SISTER C. LECLERC, s.g.m. YEAR BOOK, 1955 PAGE SEVEN
