Socia -Senior A” Activities- As usual, we the “February class” haven’t too much to report and we couldn’t ruin our repu tation at this late date. February 9, 1959, found us gathered at Oscars to celebrate our Second Anniversary of our entry in through the doors of Nursing. Naturally, the evening began with a meal and ended with a show at a nearby theatre. An enjoyable time was had by all. May 23, 1959, figures highly in our “midget-size” note book of activities, the occasion being the Formal honoring the ’59 graduates of R.G.N.H. Our class had the pleasure of putting on the dance, and are grateful for one opporunity of doing something worthy of mention. In July 1959, the “Februarians” moved out of residence . Since then we’ve had numerous “gatherings” (birthdayparties) for the ever-aging seniors, who, although they’ll be leaving, will never forget the good times had by all in the “Halls of Learning” of R.G.N.H. You’re the end of an era, Now aren’t you proud,

Chapel Scene The scene in the Chapel was viewed. The Glee Club, directed by Mr. Bill Duignan, and guest soloist Mr. J. B. Goetz, sang an arrangement of “Ave Maria” and others. The finale was breathtaking. Amid illuminated clouds stood Blessed Marguerite d’Youville, played by Lucille Mercier. The singing of ‘‘Praise the Lord” brought this outstanding evening to an end. All will agree that this evening will be remembered by the viewers and the performers. A word of ‘thank you’ goes out to all who so generously gave of their time, and congratulation to Sister Brodeur and Mrs. O. J. McNeill, who directed this successful event. Glory Scene

Activities Senior B” Activities April 3, began our social activities with a dance at Campion College. Bill Nagel’s orchestra supplied the music. The gym looked very attractive in decorations of flowers, easter bunnies and balloons. The gaiety and fun throughout the dance made us feel that everyone had a good time and our efforts were worthwhile. June, July and August, the school activities were limited as all were making plans preparing and packing for the holidays - four wonderful weeks. August 26, we set up the barbecue on the back lawn for our annual party and our faithful chefs barbecued hamburgers, weiners, and corn on the cob. After the big feed we limbered up with a snake dance down Dewdney Avenue. September 30 we officially welcomed the new members of the school - 95 wonder ful probies! Supper was served in the lower classroom and when they were well fed, we took them on a merry chase about town. January 27. we had a farewellparty for the last February class of the school. The evening began with food (as usual) and the entertainment consisted of a mock graduation and two skits. Everybody had lots of fun, laughs, and really enjoyed the evening. We wish all the girls luck in their new employment. A sincere thank you to Sister Brodeur for supporting us in our social activities and making the year a success. A. Baillod
