STUDENT The C.N.A. Biennial Convention for graduate nurses was held at the Banff Springs Hotel in Banff, Alberta, from June 7th to 14th, with invitations extended to student nurses. Appar¬ ently 110 students attended from practically every training school in Canada, from the Doug¬ las Firs of British Columbia to the Fishing Ham¬ lets of Nova Scotia. Representing our Alma Mater were Miss Luchak, Miss Thielen, Miss Holt, and Miss Tucker. Miss Luchak had the unfor¬ gettable honor of representing the student nurses of Canada on the opening day of the convention. With Pathways to the Future as the main theme of the convention, sessions were held at the main ballroom of the Banff Springs Hotel. The students attended all the sessions except Wednesday and Thursday afteroon. On Wed¬ nesday there was a Student ' s Day where students had discussions of various fields of nursing prob¬ lems and development. Enthusiasm was felt by all students about the whole nursing program and there was no doubt that the future nurses will have no difficulty finding leaders to carry on the profession of nursing. During the week it was not all work, we had some well-distributed diversions thrown in to keep us going continually. On Monday we had a Western Dinner at the Banff Springs. The menu was highly disguised with original names for each entree. We started dining on Indian Reserve ACTIVITIES Wild Roots and Gooseberries, Passion Fruit, Red Feather Sauce, Indian Herb Essence, Wild West on the Hoof, Grease Creek Gravel, Southern Alberta Green Pearis, Sarcee Blackfoot, Great Rockies, Wild Cat Derrick and finished off with Propane, all constituting a delicious meal. Some Eastern visitors were wondering what kind of ap¬ petites our Western folk had when first glancing at the menu. That was not the only banquet however. There was a Students Banquet in the Banff School of Fine Arts Auditorium where the students entertained the C.N.A. executive. This was followed by a Fashion Show at the Banff Auditorium, displaying the changing trends in uniforms. On Thursday the Holy Cross students had a weiner roast for all the students. This was preceded by a snake dance down Banff Ave., with permission and protection of the R.C.M.P. Other entertainment during the week was swim¬ ming, boating, mountain climbing and horseback riding. The convention ended for us Friday noon and we had to leave all our newly acquired friends with sad farewells. Remember there is another convention in 1956. STUDENT NURSES ASSOCIATION OF ALBERTA A highlight in fhe lives of student nurses in Alberta in 1954 was the formation of the S.N.A. The association was formed at the A.A.R.N. convention held in November in Edmonton. The members of the first executive are: Presi¬ dent, Eva Austin, C.G.H.; Vice-President, Anne Reiffenstein, H.C.H.; Secretary, Joan Nichols, C. G.H.; Treasurer, Shirley Coote, H.C.H. It is the purpose of the S.N.A. to interest students in the duties, rights, and privileges of professional nurses; to promote an interest and understanding of the work of the professional association; to promote unity among students; and to aid in interesting young women in enter¬ ing the field of nursing.
