It has meaning, this moment, what has gone before - the recent and remote past - and what can lie ahead - your future - planned and hidden, immediate and ultimate. It is for you to choose your continuous becoming. But in these efforts you never walk alone . Sheila Boase R. H.S.J. Coordinator of Internship Friendly Persuasion?

Principal ' s Message As your Graduation Day draws near, I am proud and more than satisfied with your accomplishments, both personally and professionally, during your years at The Mack School of Nursing. The members of the Faculty and I are pleased to have been instrumental in guiding you towards this very happy day. At this time, I think of the plaque on the wall in the Legislative Building in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, on which is inscribed In the hearts and minds of the delegates who assembled in this room on September 1, 1864 was born The Dominion of Canada . The phrase In the hearts and minds of the delegates seems to me appropriate to our situation. The Mack School of Nursing has been founded in the hearts and minds of those who have supported the concept of the Regional School, those who have created and communicated our curriculum and, of course, you who have met the chal- lenges of the programme. As graduates of The Mack School of Nursing, continue to use your minds to keep up with advances in scientific knowledge and apply this knowledge in the practise of your profession. The philosophy of our school emphasizes the worth and dignity of every individual and you have learned to use your hearts, particularly in relation to your nursing care. Having used your hearts and minds, you have played a large part in the forming of The Mack School of Nursing, just as the previous graduating classes of The Mack Training School for Nurses have made their contribution to the nurs- ing profession. If you continue in the way you have started, you stand to gain much personal satisfaction in the years that lie ahead. I wish to congratulate you on your achievements and offer best wishes for your future success and happiness. (Miss) Sylvia Brough, M.S., Reg. N. Principal, The Mack School of Nursing 4
