OF THEIR RESPECT AN1 ■MISE RIC O R DIA FIDELIS TO H] .ahiff; Dear Graduates Your past three years of study have been difficult and the successful completion of your training indeed an accomplishment. It is with great pleasure, therefore, that I congratulate you on this happy occasion. To become a graduate nurse, hows not an end in itself but only the beginning. You will be called upon to put into practice what you have learned and to accept responsibilities of your How well you do these things will be the true hope that we have played our part in instilling in you the knowledge, faith and con- the challenges which lie ahead. May God bless and guide you always. Sister Ste. Helene de Rome, Superior Administrator 4 m wm ww x J i ' K I n ' j DEAR GRADUATES: Today, in Canada, I believe we are at a turning point of history. With the launching of the Schools of Nursing Improvement Program, one cannot help but stop for a moment and ask WHY, - WHY, - WHY of our action which is in es¬ sence the answer to our philosophy of life, our philosophy of education. One must answer -- introspection -- the WHY for the goal to be attained, the WHY for the path to be followed. Being aware of this fact, I do not see anything more appropriate for your farewell souvenir than to give you the meaning of your ALMA MATER emblem as an urge to live the symbolism embodied in the Misericordia crest which is a constant re¬ minder to the Sisters and Associates to practice kindness and understanding in their dealings with ailing bodies and souls. If you sincerely attempt to make CHARITY a reality in your life, you will transmit to others the ideals of Nursing which your School has hoped to instill in each and every one of you -- the spirit of a true Misericordia Nurse. With the help of Our Divine Lord and with the protection of Our Blessed Lady, you will surely be led toward success and happiness which is my earnest desire for your future endeavours. CONGRATULATIONS! BEST WISHES! Your Director, Sister St. Odilon, s. m. MISERICORDIA GENERAL HOSPITAL WINNIPEG, MANITOBA THE MEANING OF THE HOSPITAL EMBLEM IS THE POWER BEHIND ALL THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SISTERS OF MISERICORDE INTERPRETATION The Three Roses denote the love which goes with charity in the work of the Sisters of Misericorde. The part on the left side is of Azure colour meaning nobility . The letter M enriched in gold speaks of the maternal protection of Mary, it is also the initial letter of all the Hospitals conducted by the Sisters. The right side of the crest is silver colour with the broken reed signifying the poor destitutes finding back their innocence in the midst of chastity which the silver colour represents. Oak branches are the emblem of courage and strength of the Christian soul. The sentence, Derelictis Misericordia” means Mercy to the fallen soul and is the Sisters ' motto. Vtv. J. Dear Graduates: My best congratulations to each one of you in the graduating class of 1962 for your patience and persistence in reaching your gradu¬ ation! It is well known that only very special people can fit themselves adaquately for this vocation. Knowledge of the necessary skills is one matter, their proper application is another, for herein lies an art which demands a very deep understanding of human behaviour, especially at times when stress and illness prevail. By striving for perfection, you will live up to the fine reput ation already acknowledged for the Misericoria Nurse. God Bless you! Sincerely, John N. R. Scatliff, M.B. B.S. D. P. H. Medical Director. Dear Graduates: It is a great pleasure to have the opportunity of congratulating the 1962 graduating class, on behalf of the medical staff of the Misericordia General Hospital. This is the end of one chapter in your lives. As soon as the next page is turned, a new chapter begins. The old chapter had a sense of unity. There was a goal to reach, an ambition to achieve. The fact of graduation has proved that this chapter, for each one of you, was well written with a happy ending. Before this chapter could be completed, you each had to develop good habits. You had to learn to study, to pay attention to detail, to maintain your sympathy even when tired and fatigued. You had to keep your sense of humour, despite the tragic scenes you witnessed. You had to keep your desire to heal and mend. Above all, you had to become trained nurses. This you have done successfully and well. Now the new chapter begins. Fortunately, none of us can predict the end of the chapters yet to be. Some of you will undoubtedly further your nursing education. Some will become teachers. A few may go into medicine. Many of you will become the backbone of the nursing care on the wards of this and other hospitals. Many of you will marry. Even then, both in the home and in the hospital, your nursing experience will prove invaluable. Whatever the future may hold, whatever the chapter may contain, the habits of the last three years should serve you well. We physicians in this hospital, will miss those who leave these surroundings. We shall appreciate the con¬ tinued privilege of working with those who remain in the Misericordia. Wherever you are, Our Congratulations and Best Wishes go with you on your graduation. A.G.

Dear Graduates: We of Semper Fidelis Staff hope that in future years this issue of the Semper Fidelis will be a cherished momento of happy years at Misericorida -- a reminder of favorite classmates and of wonderful hours in and outside the hospital. You have been here for three years. Now most of you will leave and step out to face a future that is very uncertain. In whatever degree of success or failure you may find yourselves in years to come, if a glance at these pages will lighten our labours, if only for a single moment - we deem our yearbook worthwhile. Each of the students here at M. G. H. had a part in making this year what it is. Each event will be remembered; some were happy occasions, and others sad, but they made a part of our nursing education a time never to be forgotten. In closing we would like to express our thanks to all those who have given their time to produce this yearbook. 40 Irene Kereliuk, Editor.

Welcome Class 64-B. Entertainment at the Tea nnie Get Your Bamboo Dance Gun _ ' 61 - 62 Te m On Monday, August 28, 1961, the Miseri- cordia School of Nursing commenced the ' 61-’62 term with a distinctive change. In its hallways milled over 80 newcomers, including two boys. These bewildered but eager Preclinicals repre¬ sented the two classes that were combined for the first time this year, meaning that February classes were no more to be. In the afternoon they were welcomed by their Big Sisters , Classes 63B and 64A with the traditional Welcome Tea . Much as we disliked it, we were obliged tt settle back into a routine of lectures, studies, no late leaves every night, etc. for the next week or so. Then, on Wednesday, October 6, we got our fill of hot dogs. That evening the new class was welcomed to the school with a giant weiner Over 200 girls sardine-packed themselves into three chartered Theissen buses and headed for the Assiniboia Downs Stables. Skits and a sing-song around the bonfire highlighted the evening. Much to our delight, we learned that one of the bus drivers was a talented vocalist. With i unanimous vote and much persuasion, he agreed to lead us in the sing-song. The evening ended, it seemed, much too soon. Everyone, tired, hoarse but content, ex¬ claimed, Gee, that was fun. Social iktgktylitA ofr Wmam v ' RooaT MISSING: One lost probie on October 31. Afraid of witches? NO!! Just afraid of seniors. Hard to believe anyone could be afraid of such loveable lil ol’ people. After all, all this student had to do was: gently arouse her dear Big Sister sing¬ ing I am a lowly probie, I love you senior dear , after which she willingly tidied sis ' s room, polished her shoes, unwrinkled her bed, and did everything in her power to please her boss for the day. She merrily chanted her song for each of the seniors at their feet at least two or three times (ONLY about one hundred times during the day). Her hair was beautifully arranged in pigtails with her inside out skirt stylishly pulled over her best long legged pj ' s. After, for the first time, wishing that classes never would end, she staggered out again. She was served the most delectable supper (in bed pans, urinals, and other borrowed? hospital equipment). Being so popular she warbled the most delightful tunes for her senior audience. Showing her best manners she served them all they wished. Dressed warmly and attractively, she wandered out into the cool, dark night to fetch some rather uncommon articles — men ' s shorts, something false but not TEETH, etc., etc., Upon arriving back she was whirled down a long hall to Morgin ' s Morgue. Unfortunately, she ran into his spider right in her face. She then pro¬ ceeded to feel Harry the Stiff. Not enjoying the feel of his hair, his eyes, his ??? whatever you wish, she slopped bare footedly out through his blood and cremated remains up to the auditorium. After entertaining gleefully and being found guilty by Kangaroo Court, she just plain disappeared. f ' Reverently, I pledge myself before God and in the presence of this .that ye should QzckcallAlAj COttAA 64- I bathe the tired, patient sick And leave the covers neat, The while I think of One who washed His loved disciples ' feet. How often when I bandage wounds Have grateful tear drops started.... To think! I have a Saviour who Binds up the broken hearted, I pause by many a sufferer ' s bed To shake and smooth a pillow, (Remembering Him asleep on one In boat on tossing billow.) I give a drink of water and (Almost too good to be!) I hear my loving Lord remark, You gave that drink to Me. I make the meals for patients ' fare. I set out milk and bread... (My Jesus spake the word, and lo! The multitudes were fed.) Oh, sometimes in my crowded ward I think and catch my breath: My Lord healed sick folk just like these In busy Nazareth. 49 The student nurses held their annual “Rose Ball” on Novem- 16 at the Club Copacabana. It was a great success, with The Rose Ball ber 16 at the Club Copacabana. It was i approximately 430 people in attendance. Prior to the dance, a recep¬ tion was held, at which time the patrons were introduced to the princesses and their escorts. The following patrons were , present at the reception. His Worship Mayor and Mrs. S. Juba, Dr. and Mrs. A. Nat- suk, Dr. and Mrs. A. Rogers, Dr. and Mrs. F. J. Coodin, Dr. and Mrs. James McGoey, Mr. and Mrs. Z. Hladki. The princesses: Miss Alice Fingas, Class 62B; Miss Betty Ushey, Class 62B; Miss Marilyn Cooper, Class 63A; Miss Lor- raine Cooksley, Class 63B; Miss Marilyn King, Class 63A; Miss Lynn Trimbath, Class 64B. Receiving the guests were: Mr. and Mrs. R. Kelly, Miss Anita Grant, Miss Faye Ches- Receiving the guests at the dance were: Miss M. Small, president of student body; Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner (Mrs. Gar¬ diner representing the Miseri- cordia Alumnae); Miss Martha Riley, Miss Jean Lowe, Mr. and Mrs. McSheffrey. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of this year’s Rose Queen—Miss Betty Ushey of Class 62B. Mayor Juba crowned Miss Ushey, and the presentation bouquet was given by Mrs. Juba; the Misericordia bracelet by Miss Small. Con¬ gratulations, Betty! AJIoHmAs Qt . Tmt Vay_ jJuMtda TeStdoitm To help her celebrate her Feast Day, A Tea was held in honor of the Nursing Director, on Friday, December 8, in the auditorium. All the members of the hospital took advantage of the oc¬ casion to express their appreciation to Mother St. Odilon. In the true Spirit of Christmas, the Student Nurses ' Choir brought good cheer to those less fortunate. Under the able direction of Mrs. Gebhard, the group carolled :at the St. Boniface Old Folk ' s Home on Sunday afternoon, January 10. The girl ' s carolled again on the eleventh in the hallways of their own hospital. The Misericordia. Christmas Concert 1961 Finally, came good ole St. Nicholas jingling and ho ho-ing down the aisle with his reindeer and his elf. After Sr. Superior, introduced by Dr. Scatliff, had expressed her thanks to all those who participated in the production of the concert, both on and off stage, and to the excellent turnout of the audience, every¬ one adjourned to the decorated cafeteria for refreshments and a gift from Santa. ■ The 1961 Christmas Concert, ' ■held on Wednesday, December ■ 13, with Mr. Z. Hladki as M.C., ■ and welcomed Mr. Pozyniak, ■was very well received. Starting the program in the ■ traditional way, was the Nativ- Bity Scene by the Student Nurses, ■with Mrs. O. Gebhard and Mr. MV. Morrone as soloists. Representatives from Misericordia General Lai Crampton-Bulletin Representative Lyn Cardno .Social Representative Joann Warren-Official Representative to the M. S.N.A, President: Janet Harland from the Grace General Hospital The Manitoba Student Nurses ' Association wa: organized, for the purpose of uniting all the student of Manitoba ' s seven schools of nursing into one bo: - a body with common interests, desires, hopes an goals. The schools maintain contact with each other chiefly through social functions. This term ' s first activity consisted of a giant Halloween Party at th: General Hospital auditorium. On the night of the masquerade, October 31, all the Preclinicals were welcomed to the organization. During the Yuletide season, the girls joined singing forces and carolled at the King Edward and Deer Lodge Hospitals. Inspite of the fact that the ther¬ mometer registered twenty some odd degrees below zero, the M. S.N.A. o ganized a skating party for January. Quite a number of girls turned out in their skates, scarves and woolies. This time the St. Boniface students acted as hostesses. Highlighting the year was the an¬ nual Winter Whirl, ’’ - the Valentine formal. This year it was held on the 14th of February at the Blue Room in the General Hospital School of Nursing Residence. Misericordia was proud to have Eva Lachance as their candidate for Valentine Queen. On January 31, the School held a farewell party in honour of the two graduating classes - 62-A and 62-B. Each under-graduating class provided the entertainment by putting on an original skit. Individually, each graduate introduced her¬ self and revealed her plans for the future. Mother St. Odilon presented each with a souvenir of the school. Congratulations! Common courtesy at the school does not go un¬ awarded. Every three months recognition is given a senior student who warrants this merit. There is no favoritism or prejudice present since the winner is determined by the popular vote of the Student Body. Farewell Courtesy Medal This 1962 edition of Semper Fidelis could not be printed without mentioning the house mothers in our residences. Their patience, and under¬ standing, their words of advice and encouragement have contributed much to making residence our second home. To this wonderful group of adopted u.others we give our sincere thanks and appreciation.

As City Hydro looks back on its first fifty years of operation, one of the Utility’s proudest achievements is the fact that it is still charging basically the same rates for electricity as it did when the first bill was sent out half a century ago. In addit ion, the low electric rates in Winnipeg compared to other large Canadian cities, undoubtedly have saved citizens untold millions of dollars. CITY HYDRO CANADIAN LIQUID AIR CO.

Only with difficulty could the doctor dis¬ engage himself. “Now, madam,” he protested, then, “there’s no occasion for such a demon¬ stration. I merely stated that the nevus proved to be begnign.” “Og, gee,” the lady exclaimed disappoint¬ edly, I thought you said “Be mine”.

Great Hall was overflowing last night as couples danced to the liquid music of Les Anemic and his Pale Four. The dancers seemed to particularly enjoy The Transfusion Tango and The Jugular Jump. Lovely redheaded Aorta, vocalist with the band, gave a thumping rendition of Hemophiliac Blues which raised everyone ' s blood pressure. The decorations were certainly clever. Suspended from the ceiling was a huge heart which beat convincingly 70 times a minute. From the heart were suspended many red streamers which were supposed to represent arteries and capillaries. The effect was one of intense realism unless of course one has never danced in this vein. Even the refreshments were connected with the theme of the dance. A corps of nurses served intravenously from the beautifully decorated tables arranged artistically around the floor. Blood flowed like water. Miss Leech, head nurse, poured. Highlight of the evening was the entertaining mixer, Find Your Type . The game is a simple one, each person is supplied with a small knife or razor blade, and a vial. Into this vial the player bleeds, then runs around trying to find someone with the same kind of blood. Many lasting R. H. friendships were formed. One of the two survivors of the game was heard to remark, This is lots more fun than Russian Roulette.
