Hail and farewell! Hail to the new life which lies ahead. Farewell to the joys and freedoms of student days. Know you yet what it means to be a student nurse? It is to be young and eager for a new life. It is to have dreams of service untested and unspoiled. It is to see every attainment as a life success, and every failure as a numbing tragedy. It is to be dependent, and free of responsibility. It is to feel wanted, to feel important. It is to love everybody and to be loved by all. Know you what it will mean to be an MGH graduate? It is to be a little older, wiser, and more skillful. It is to change youthful dreams into practical realities. It is to be depended upon, to be wanted, to be sought after. It is to stand in white, ready for the first professional step. It is to know limitations, to question, to study, to learn, to work. It is to accept and deal with frustration as part of the daily life. It is to look back upon student days and be glad. It is to be a proud member of the MGH family. It is today and always to know of the continuing support and friendship of all those with whom you have worked and studied. MGH graduates, hail and farewell! Ruth Sleeper, Director of the School of Nursing and Nursing Service 6
