Eighteen Lamont Public Hospital REV. J. E. KIRK COnGRflTULflTIOnS CLASS ' 47 . . . How time slips away ! Less than three years ago you entered this Institution of Nursing. Conditions and the environment, and many of your class were strange to each of you. To look ahead for three years caused a little sinking about your heart, the time seemed interminable. Then you began to find your place. Your class mates soon became pals, you moved about your duties with more freedom and less awkwardness, you began to grasp something of the significance of your profession, you began to see the need of such services, and then there came the sense of team work between the medical and nursing professions. And before you knew it you were engrossed in your profession. It became a part of you. Now in a few weeks Graduation Day will be here. That is a great Day in anyone’s life. There is a sense of something ac¬ complished, a mile-stone reached. It is a satisfaction to have an opportunity of making practical use of your training. It is a real joy to know that you have a valuable contribution to make to society. As you go out into the world we would like you to remember that our very best wishes go with you, and that your Alma Mater is proud of you and erpects great things of you. We will cherish your friendship and associations both with the Hospital and the Church, and wish for you health and happiness wherever duty may call. Sincerely yours, J. E. KIRK.

SUMMO COMMISSO MlSSI Seventeen CLASS ’47— Since what we choose is what we are And what we love we yet shall be. The goal may ever shine afar. The will to win it makes us free. Congratulations and best wishes Class ’47. Sincerely, M. DAVIS, R.N. TO CLASS ’47— “You don’t have to tell how you live each day, You don’t have to say if you work or you play. A tried, true barometer serves in the place, However you live, it will show in your face. The false, the deceit that you bear in your heart Will not stay inside, where it first got a start. For sinew and blood are a thin veil of lace: What you wear in your heart you wear in your face. If your life is unselfish, if for others you live, or not what you get, but how much you can give; it you live close to God, in His infinite grace, You don’t have to tell it, it shows in your face.” May your motto always be “Wherever duty calls.” Sincerely, F. M. HARRISON, R.N. DEAR CLASS ’47- Congratulations! Very best wishes to each of you as you begin your careers as graduate nurses. Sincerely, MARJORIE GROVE, R.N. TO THE CLASS OF 1947- Surprise, surprise! You are really graduating! I remember the day you entered as “probies.” Graduation then, seemed so far away, did it not? My wish and prayer for you is that the completion of your training may mean the beginning of a life of satisfaction and joy in the service of others, be it in the home, the hospital or in some far away field. I shall follow the career of each one of you with great interest. Affectionate congratula tions, ADA SANDELL. Congratulations and Best Wishes Class ’47— Now that you have achieved the goal you have worked so hard for during the past three years—remember that the need is great and there is still a great future ahead of you. Bon voyage! Sincerely, MARY AND BARRIE COOPER.
