This year 1974 is a very special one. For you, the graduating class of 1974, it means the beginning of your life as professional nurses, and for those of us who have been associated with The Mack Schools of Nursing, it marks the end of one phase of nursing education and the beginning of another. Any of us who have had a close association with Mack can be justifiably proud of our heritage, of the education that we received, and of the traditions of which we were a part. Each of you has played a part in its history and in its development which began with Dr. Mack a century ago. Although you will be the final class to graduate from The Mack School of Nursing, the name of Mack will live on through it new designation--The Mack Centre of Nursing Education. In the quieter moments of the years ahead you will leaf through the Dedications . If it is for you as it has been for so many of us who preceded you, they will be pleasant moments recalling a part of your life which you will keep in your fondest memories. On behalf of the faculty and myself we wish you the joy of service to others and success and happiness in the future. Lois A. Millar Chairman

The nursing staff of the St. Catharines General Hospital extend sincere con- gratulations and good wishes to the 1974 graduates of the Mack School of Nursing. This year we are celebrating the centennial of the school and you have chosen for your yearbook the theme Dedications . As you begin the practice of your profession 1 would like to leave with you the following quotation. Where you are is of no moment but only what you are doing there. It is not the place that enables you but you the place; and this only by doing that which is great and noble . Petrarch. (Mrs.) L. R. Flight. Director of Nursing Service. God has given us a memory that we might have roses in December James Barrie once wrote. Our memory keeps alive the good and true things we experience in June, that is in the beautified times of our lives. It recalls these cheering experiences to give us strength in the dark and difficult December of our lives. This year your school celebrates its one-hundredth anniversary and many memories are brought to life again as former graduates recall the joys of their graduation day. It is my wish for you that the memory of your graduation will be the sustain- ing force to help you meet the challenges of the future with much joy, hope, courage and peace. May I, on behalf of the Sisters and staff of Hotel Dieu Hospital, congratulate you on being the 100th class to graduate from the Mack School of Nursing and wish you many happy memories as you celebrate the achievement of your long awaited goal--your own graduation day.
