This year again was another successful one for the Glee Club under the capable direction of Mr. Bill Duignan. During the Christmas season the Glee Club sang at two festivals—The Rotary Carol Festival at Knox Metropolitan Church on December ninth, and the Knights of Columbus Festival at Campion College on December twentieth. Two carols were sung, one being sung in French. On December twenty-first, the Glee Club again sang carols around the hospital. Done by candle light, this was very impressive. The employees’ Christmas party, held in the cafeteria on December seventeenth, also gave the Glee Club a chance to demonstrate their vocal powers, which they did to the satisfaction of all. Our most sincere thanks and appreciation are extended to Mr. Duignan for his time, patience and efforts spent with us and we hope he will direct many more successful years of singing with our Glee Club.

Kcwwtracui Have you ever seen a woman in a smart navy blue uniform and black bag? This is a Victorian Order Nurse. These are fully qaulified nurses - doing home nursing at any hour of day or night. The V.O.N. is a voluntary organization sponsored by Government grants, patient fees, United Appeals, and private donations. Every R.G.N.H. senior student has the privilege of spending one day with the V.O.N. It gives us a picture of a patient other than in a hospital. It also gives us an idea as to how large a field there is in public health nursing. To the Regina Branch of the V.O.N., the 1960 graduation class ex¬ presses a heart-felt “thank you” for a memorable day of exciting and interesting experience with you. D.

mi ax turn g|,: Capping On February 12th, at two o’clock, ninety-one girls walked solemnly down the aisle at the Nortown Theatre. Six months of hard study and work had finally come to a climax. The chair¬ man, Mr. W.W. Vanderguard then called us one by one across the stage to receive our caps from Sister Brodeur. The programme consisted of songs sung by the seniors and piano selections played by Mrs. P, McIntyre. Father H. Bosma, hospital chaplain, in his message told us his understanding of a nurse. Father J. J. Farrell, S. J. of Campion College gave us a very inspiring address. Thank you very much Father. Following the ceremony at the theatre our parents and friends toured the hospital. A lovely lunch provided by the Sisters, was served by the senior classes in the nurse’s residence. This important day for the new white caps ended as each student went home for a short stay with her family. It was a lovely day-one we shall always remember. I hope we shall measure up to all that is expected of us.
