Mother Marguerite D’Youville Presented by The Graduating Class Of 1961 Grey Nuns’ School Of Nursing Regina, Saskatchewan Dedicated To Reverend Sister A. Brodeur, s gm Director of our School of Nursing, who for the past fifteen years has worked untiringly to give her students every opportunity to acquire the characteristics of a truly dedicated nurse. This class of 1961 includes the thousandth student, who under Sister Brodeur ' s guidance and loving care will have achieved her goal of becoming a graduate nurse. This is our tribute. Yearbook Staff EDITORIAL We have almost reached another milestone in our career - graduation - and we look back now with quiet speculation at our stay at the Regina Grey Nuns ' School of Nursing. Here we met new friends, developed new interests, and found new rewards. Now as we look forward to graduation the title nurse takes on a new meaning. It makes us realize we truly are the Florence Nightingale of yes¬ teryear, sharing the love and mercy she showed towards mankind. In our bookshelves of tomorrow we’ll leaf through a treasured Memorare and in it recapture some of the hard work, fun and frolic of times past. To my staff who worked so diligently with me I wish to express my appreciation. You worked hard kids - thanks! A sincere thank you is extended to Sister Brodeur and the faculty advisors for their willing guidance and advice. And to the class behind we leave the Memorare and its Motto We strive for that which is noble. Best of luck in your endeavors, and L. Rutledge S. Magee B. Rump A. Thorsteinson I. Benko J. Davis G.

Bailey R. King M. Messer C. Carnall R. Duncan Dear Graduates: The successful training of today’s nurse has become an exacting business de¬ manding both scientific and technical proficiency. You have measured up to the standards of your school and profession and for this I wish to congratulate you. But over and above such knowledge the ideal nurse looks upon her profession as something more than being a skilled technician. She thinks of it in terms of service to others with a sympathetic understanding of the dignity and personality of the patient she tends. This is what makes your profession a noble and necessary one with your Christ like approach lifting it far above the level of just another task. It will sanctify all you do and in it you will find your own sanctification and reward. Yours very sincerely in Christ, Most Reverend M.C. O ' Neill, Archbishop of Regina. TO THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1961 On behalf of the Medical Staff, I am privileged to extend con¬ gratulations to the Graduating Class of 1961. With graduation, the toils, adversities and pleasantries of the past years take on a new meaning; all that you have learned takes on new purpose. As a Graduate, you acquire certain rights and privi¬ leges, but with them, you also acquire duties and responsibilities. Learning does not cease when lectures are finished. Our art is one that demands a lifetime of study, for we can never learn too much concerning the care of the sick. It is the sincere wish of the Medical Staff that the years ahead will bring happiness and gratification in your chosen profession. I. W. Bean, M.D., President - Medical Staff, Regina Grey Nuns ' Hospital. Graduates: You have achieved a high standard in the fact that you have successfully completed your three year course. You must try and retain thishigh standard without being standardized; yo i must continue to blend the truly modern scientific spirit with the ancient religious inspiration of Christian Spirituality; you must make the corporal works of mercy your social program. Everyone of you has been imbued with the idea that the spirit of nursing is the spirit of charity and is absolutely in¬ separable from religion. To quote Pope Pius XII - Nursing is noble and necessary. It is aimed at achieving the welfare of the body and soul. It serves both time and eternity. It is a sacred ministry. Keep this in mind, and Our Blessed Lord will reward and bless you. Father Norman A. Andries, Chaplain To the Nurses: All of us are obliged to contribute to the common good of humanity. From the day your experience with nursing-school began, you probably noticed that the pro¬ motion of what is good took on a real meaning in your life. As the years of your training progressed, this reali¬ zation of serving, what helps and lifts up your fellow man, grew deeper. On the day you graduate, public recognition is given to testify to your spirit of thoughtfulness and gener¬ osity, and you receive a diploma and an Registered Nurse Certificate. These are a passport to every corner of the earth, and a guarantee that you will move with dignity and act with skill no matter what life may present to you, whether it be the close ties of domestic love, or the many-splendored activity of a career in far away places. A nursing school must surely rejoice in sending forth such wonderful members into society. And those who have benefited by such training must surely realize the special contribution they must always make to life around them. May I wish constant success to the school and its never-failing harvest of Graduates. Father D. K. Edward C. Ss. R Retreat Master Dear Graduates of 1961. As you are well aware of the vast advancements in re¬ search and medicine of the era, you have realized how the nursing practices are channelled along and rapidly modified. New techniques demand the acquisition of new skills, yet even with these changes, there are certain elements that must remain unchanged: they are PRINCIPLES and IDEALS. In nursing, remember that we must be continually striving for the recognition of Christ in our brother, that it is He, above all, who must be our Inspiration, our Guide and our Friend. May the blessings of Almighty God be with you through life, but in a special way while practic¬ ing charity in your nursing duties. Sister Alice Brodeur, s.g.m. Director of Nurses. One day the Lord said to His disciples: You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Neither do men light a lamp and put it under the measure, but upon the lamp-stand, so as to give light to all in the house. Even so let your light shine before men, in order that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven. (St. Matthew, Chapter 5.) Likewise, dear graduates of 1961, your knowledge, your skill and your spirit of generosity will be the light that will make you the witnesses of authentic Love. May the example of our Blessed Marguerite d ' Youville stimulate you to see through every human being a brother who needs your love and your help. May God bless you! Sister Rita Fortier s.g. m.

THANK YOU MOM AND DAD Our graduation day is here, And thanks to Mom and Dad, A black band we wear upon our caps The symbol of a grad. The memories we now recall, Of the past three student years, All seem to have a purpose now, Our laughter, toils, and tears. The days we spent as probies, Were days of ardent learning. To put our knowledge to practice, Our eager hearts were yearning. Capping seemed our first great step, Toward the goal we reach today, We pledge ourselves, with lamp in hand. To help the sick in every way. As we opened the door to second year, A red band we wore with pride, Special training had now begun, Our interest we couldn ' t hide. Steps into third year came and went, With most of our training behind, We hoped the experience we had gained, Would never leave our mind. Our graduation day is here, So thanks to Mom and Dad, Your helping hand was not in vain, Your daughter ' s now a GRAD. Valedictory 1961 Mister Chairman, Reverend Fathers, Reverend Sisters, Honored Guests, Parents and dear Friends: The twilight hour is fast approaching - and graduation that long awaited perfect day is coming to a close. For us it is the sunset of three years of intensive studies and practical experiences; of satisfactions, joys, weariness, anxieties and deep lasting friendships. Before us lies the sunrise of a new life of service to humanity for which we have been so carefully prepared. Three years measured by days and weeks is a short flight but measured by happenings and experiences is a life time. In the earliest part of our training, graduation was a mirage - so intangible and unrealistic yet always a constant hovering pre-destined goal which today we have attained. Emotions, a nurse especially of a student nurse , though experienced, are never so publicly dis¬ played as on a day such as this: Joy in the achievement of our long desired goal. Regret at having to leave our beloved protective Alma Mater and the many friendships cemented within. Fear at being left alone to try our wings for the first time. Thanksgiving for having the assistance of so many capable and trusting people who made this day a reality. The heart remembers everything, Although the mind forgets The raptures and the agonies. The hope and the regrets. We think we have forgotten But the heart remembers all. Suddenly some strange and lovely thing It will to us recall. To those who have made our education possible we wish to extend our sincerest gratitude. To our director of nurses Sister A. Brodeur, thank you Sister for truly caring and for instilling in us all principles of a noble profession. By our future lives we shall try to prove ourselves worthy of your con¬ cern. To Reverend Sister Superior, the Sister Supervisors, doctors and registered nurses we say that we shall always try to live up to the ideals you have given us. A special thanks is extended to Father N. Andries, the Hospital Chaplain. To our dear parents, thank you for your encouragement, understanding and wisdom, we hope that the joy you are sharing with us tonight in some way compensates for the many sacrifices you have made on our behalf. To the undergraduates, we truthfully say its worth it give it the best you can because you are entrusted with something more precious than gold: human life and keep smiling . A smile is the only contagious condition ever desired in a hospital. Tonight we stand at the threshold of our careers we are desirous of meeting the tremendous challenge of the future, yet hesitant to leave the past with which we are so familiar. During our sojourn at the Regina Grey Nuns ' School of Nursing we know that we have received an excellent nursing education based on sound principles of medical science and nursing techniques yet tempered with the all important spirit of charity which makes nursing dissimiliar to other professions. Dear fellow graduates: Looking back over the past, it is evident that the moments which stood out above all else are the moments when we have done things in the spirit of true Christ-like Charity i.e. through the love of God and through the love of our fellow-man. In closing a few of Petrarch ' s thoughts: Love is the crowning grace of humanity, The holiest right of the soul. The golden link which binds us to duty and truth. The redeeming principle that chiefly reconciles the heart to life and its prophetic of eternal good. D.

THE ALUMNAE The members of the Regina Grey Nuns ' Hospital Alumnae Association wish to congratulate you the graduates of 1961 on your achievements at the Grey Nuns ' Hospital. The best personal wishes to each of you for continued success during the years that lie ahead. You have worked hard, these past years at R. G. N. H. The path may not have been always smooth or easy. Never¬ theless, with graduation you are ending an experience which I know you will undoubtedly come to cherish more and more with each passing year. This is an interlude in your life which you will hold among your fondest memories. The entire class of 1961 is granted a complimentary membership in the association by the Alumnae. We sincerely hope that you will join us in our Alumnae activities. For the future, we wish you success and happiness in your chosen profession and may you all Find the good, the strength, the ability that is within you. Use it and be at peace with yourself. Miss Luciou, President WHY LADY PATRONESSES? Many years ago, it became evident that, through lack of funds and for other similar reasons, patients in our hospitals were unable to receive those small extra considerations which make a period of illness easier to bear. A number of ladies in the community decided to organize with a view to purchasing small favours for the patients, and what was considered even more important to devote some of their time to visiting the sick. Over the years, the organization has expanded throughout the city, and now represents ladies from all walks of life, whose main interest is making a day a little brighter for some sick person. We have bought many items for the childrens ' play room and have given them treats on special occa¬ sions. The Public Wards have been supplied with over-bed tables and bed lamps. Our Occupational Therapy Department has helped many patients. We operate a Courtesy Cart for the Maternity Wards. This Cart carries Nursery supplies and baby ' s knitted wear. Our visiting Committee visits the public ward patients twice a month. They distribute magazines and treats. Last year we furnished the Physiotherapy Room at the Grey Nuns ' Hospital. All the T.V. sets in the Hospital were purchased by the Lady Pa¬ tronesses. A room on the 4th floor has been furnished by our organization. Our most recent purchase was a neurosurgical bed and a new type stretcher. Each year the nurse with the highest standing in Theory is awarded a pin on graduation. All these projects are furnished through the United Appeal and through our own money raising endeavo urs. Our May Tea and Bake Sale is our biggest project. All the ladies in this organization join whole heartedly with Mrs. J. Schwann, our President, in extending to the graduating nurses our congratulations, and hope that all their expectations and wishes shall be fulfilled in their newly chosen profession.

Time has flown so quickly, as we reminisce, we ask ourselves, Is it possible to pack so many activi¬ ties into such a short space of time? . Yes, we have had a busy year. Our Probie Talent Party, Raffle, Christmas Party, and Glee Club called for many hours of hard work and cheerful cooperation from all students. I am proud to say that everyone has been most co-operative in whatever endeavor our School has under¬ taken. I wish to thank Reverend Sister Superior, Reverend Sister Brodeur, our Director of Nurses; Mrs. O ' Shaughnessy, our Student Council Advisor; our faculty, and grad¬ uate staff for their guidance, and fine example of dedication. To my fellow students I say Thank you for entrusting me with this office. I was indeed honored by the confidence you placed in me. A special thank you to the members of the Student Council who so un¬ selfishly gave of their time for their school. It has been a real pleasure to work so closely with you. May God bless you and help you to truly Strive for that which is noble. Marg. Klinger LEFT TO RIGHT; M. Cameron, V. Anderson, M. Klinger, Mrs. C. O ' Shaughnessy, M. Shea, D. McDonald, C. Schreiner.

She inspired the formation of this, an honour association, to recognize those students with high scholastic standing. The minimum scholastic standing required during the Intermediate and Senior year is 80 °]o, while during the Preliminary session 8 5 tr o is necessary. Membership in the club, a mark of merit, also carries with it responsibility. Each member is required to assist a fellow student, in the spirit of charity. I —V- -W MB I 1 ■ v KS Members may be recognized by the Marguerite dTouville pin, worn on the left side of our bibs. The symbols of medicine and knowledge, depicted by a lamp on a book, further clarify the club motto Science through Friendship. M. Marchand FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF MARGUERITE DTOUVILLE CLUB On this, the Fifth Anniversary of the Marguerite d’Youville Club, the members wish to say Thank You to its foundress, Sister A. Levasseur, charter members, faculty and the alumnae. Five years ago on December 1, the group of students attaining a theoretical average of 85%, met with the faculty and the director of education, to form the Exokoi Club. The name Exokoi, a Greek word, was an adaptation from a similar club which originated at St. F. Xavier University, Antigonish, Nova Scotia. Sister Levasseur, who instigated the formation of this honor club at R. G. N. H., later felt a more appropriate n ame could be chosen with the club still maintaining its purpose. January 31,1956 saw the renaming of the club to the Marguerite d ' Youville Club in commemoration of the foundress of the Grey Nuns’ Order. Scientia per Amicitiam - Science through Friendship was chosen as the motto. The firm foundation for this our honor club remains the achievement of high scholastic standing, and a willingness to assist fellow students. CHARTER MEMBERS: Sr. A. Levasseur - Foundress vliss M.

The Marian Society, with Mary, Queen of Nurses, as its Patroness, is composed of all the Catholic Students in the School of Nursing. It strives to develop in its members a willingness to practice Christian principles and an eagerness to share these principles with others. Our Hospital and School of Nursing has many opportunities in which to practice our religion faithfully and strengthen our spiritual life in a truly Christian atmosphere of Charity toward all, malice toward none. We are very grateful to Father Andries, our Spiritual Director, for his guidance and assistance. We wish to express our sincere appreciation to Sister A. Brodeur and Mrs. Green for their interest and encouragement. With an emphasis on our motto To Jesus Through Mary and as good Catholic Nurses in this, a so very materialistic world, let us remember: Work kindly now amid new-born wail Now tenderly with fading breath. Work gently, bravely--work with God, So closely to life, so near to death. Work kindly now--the lame shall walk. Work lovingly now--the blind shall see. Whate ' er you do to the least of these, Whate’er you do, do to ME. . E. Troendle, President EXECUTIVE N. C. F. Probie Party Advison.Miss Neufeld President.L. Barker Vice President . . . J.

Thorsteinson Nurses’ Christian Fellowship The Nurses ' Christian Fellowship, associated with [nter-Varsity Christian Fellowship of Canada, is an inter-denominational group. It has as its purpose to know Christ, and make Him known in an initial or deeper way. Our group at the Grey Nuns ' was organized in February 1960. We are pleased to be able to use one of our classrooms as our weekly meeting place. Through regular programs of Bible studies, discussion groups, prayer times, as well as fun filled social evenings, our knowledge of the Great Physician is growing. This year the glee club once again made a good showing during the Christmas season. We attended the Rotary Carol Festival at Knox Metropolitan Church, and the Knights of Columbus Festival at Campion College. On the evening of December 19, 1960, the Glee Club went carolling through the hospital with each girl carrying a burning candle. I am sure all the patients and staff thoroughly enjoyed it. On February 10,1961, the Glee Club will attend the annual capping ceremony, sing¬ ing a number of appropriate selections. Our sincere thanks and appreciation are extended to Mr. Duignan and we hope that he will continue to lead us to more successes in the following years. Also, we would like to thank Beth MacBey for accompanying us on different occasions. C. Schreiner Cancer Clinic Six short weeks of our training is spent affiliating at the Cancer Clinic, and I was one of the few chosen to go. Those six weeks can be recalled and associated with pleasant memories. Our first three weeks are spent in the Surgery Department where spinal punctures, thoracentesis, paracentesis and biopsies are done. The nurse ' s role here is to set up and assist the doctor with the procedures, then take care of the specimens obtained. Also here we observe the technique of x-ray therapy and how radium and cobalt implants are used to treat cancer once a lesion is diagnosed as such. The final three weeks of affiliation is spent in the New Patients Dept. , where patients are referred to the clinic for the first time. Here our role is to admit the patients and prepare them for medical examinations. After the patient is seen and examined, he is discussed in conference by the doctors. If a diagnosis of cancer is made, a suitable means of treatment is decided upon and carried out. From this time on the patient ' s progress is followed up, and he returns to the clinic for routine examinations. On behalf of the Graduation Class of 1961, I would like to extend a sincere thank you to the doctors and nurses who spent much precious time explaining and pointing out interesting facts. You made our six weeks very enjoyable and we will benefit from the newly acquired knowledge. R. Lanowski Vacation College This summer four very delighted nurses from R. G. N. H. had the opportunity of attending Vacation College at Lebret, Saskatchewan. The theme of the college was Leadership and Christian Family Life. Some of the lectures in¬ cluded Lay Participation in the Liturgy - Fr. Andries, How to choose a Marriage Partner - Fr. Gibney, Civil Obligations - Fr. Kine, Sanct¬ ification Through Work - Fr. Ferbola and Christian Culture Fr. Sullivan. The gang at Lebret included seventy four young ladies and gentlemen from every walk of life, three sisters and fourteen priests. The day consisted of three lectures followed by group discussions plus one singing class daily with Fr. Frey. The rest of the day was spent at the beach, playing volleyball, softball or hiking. At six o ' clock everyone was in chapel, a little sunburnt and out of breath, but there for a spiritual lecture and benediction. It was a wonderful week which left everyone spiritually enriched with God ' s graces. I ' m sure. _ M. Darbellay f Fort San One beautiful September Sunday afternoon four R. G. N. H. students boarded the bus to take them to Fort San for four weeks affiliation in tuberculosis nursing. I was fortunate enough to be one of these students. The sun was just beginning to set behind one of the many rolling hills, casting long shadows over the beautiful lake and among the many September-hued trees as we reached the San. The whole valley appeared to be alive with color and this sight of uncapturable beauty inspired us all and made our first im¬ pressions favorable and long lasting. Fort San and the Nurses ' Residence are snuggled cosily among the beautiful hills of the Fort Qu ' Appelle Valley and are on the north shores of sparkling Echo Lake. Our affiliation period consisted of class hours, case studies, and of course practical nursing on the floors. Treatment of T. B. consists of rest, graded exercise, diet, medications, sunshine and fresh air. However, the whole nursing care differs greatly from general hospital routine. Patients do a great deal more for themselves and know more facts concerning their disease and medications. They have much leisure time which is spent in crafts, copper tooling, leather work and building model structures. Long stay in hospital and undetermined length of home treatment face these people when they enter the Sanitorium, and yet their attitude and state of mind is to be envied and admired. The many empty pavilions at the San indicated that T. B. is on the decrease. Yet, the fact stressed most strongly is that the only way T. B. can be stamped out is by prevention. Mass surveys, hospital admission chest plates, and contact examinations are only some of the ways that this vast prevention program is being carried out. Education of the people is another most important factor in prevention and in this way, we, as nurses, help T. B. prevention. All too soon our four weeks were up and many happy memories were tucked away to be renewed upon return to our individual home schools. I was grateful to have had my affiliation at the San. It greatly broadened my knowledge of T. B. and its nursing care, and has given me a better outlook on T. B. prevention, the best cure for this disease. M. V.O.N During her three years in training, each student has the privilege of one day ' s experience with the Victorian Order of Nurses. This experience gives a better understanding of the problems of home nursing and an idea of the extensive service that the V. O. N. has to offer. The V.O.N. is a voluntary agency, financed by private do¬ nations, patient fees and money alloted by such organizations as the United Appeal. Their services are never refused to anyone. On behalf of the class of ' 61, I would like to extend our sincere thank you to the Regina branch of the V. O. N. for that one memorable day. M. Bain. Munroe Wing The Munroe Wing at the Regina General Hospital is a psychiatric unit consisting of 33 beds. This unit is a treatment centre for those patients who are emotionally disturbed either mildly or acutely. The specific therapies include physical treatment such as insulin therapy, electro-shock and chemotherapy, psychological therapies such as individual and group psychotherapy and sociological therapies, including industrial, occupational and recreational therapy. Every six weeks fifteen students from various schools of nursing in the province have the privilege of taking a three month affiliation. The programme consists of lectures, films, conferences and role play¬ ing. Ward experience is provided during which time we are encouraged to stay with the patients, joining in their activities, thus attempting to understand them, and to help them to find a new and clear way out of their problems. Our course has given us the opportunity to gain a better under¬ standing of ourselves, which enables us to work more effectively with all kinds of patients regardless of their illness. I hope that in the near future every student nurse will have the opportunity to take part in this beneficial and interesting course. L. Mercier f t) n f Capping February 10, 1961, was a memorable event for ninety-one preliminary students, for this was the day they received their white caps. How proud they were, after six months of constant study, to walk down the aisle of the Nortown Theatre and step into a new era of their training. Each student was called forward by the chairman, Mr. W. W. Vanderguard, and individually rewarded with a white cap and an encouraging smile from our Director, Sister A. Brodeur. The programme consisted of piano selections by Miss J. McDougall and Miss A. Olmsted, a violin solo by Mr. Gary Kosloski and a selection by the Grey Nuns ' Glee Club. Using as his theme, We strive for that which is noble, Father N. Andries, the hospital chaplain, gave an encouraging message on the nobility of the nursing profession. Following this the Florence Nightingale pledge was recited and the lovely candlelighting ceremony took place. After the ceremony, the new white caps showed their parents and friends around the hospital and residence. A luncheon tea completed the afternoon. The important day ended as each student went home with her family for a short visit. The cap means love and service to mankind, To old and young, distressed and blind, You must hold out your hand in loving care, And keep the faith whene ' er the cap you wear. Crowning of our Lady The members of the Marian Society, in full uniform, entered the Chapel in procession at 3:30 PM., December 8, to crown the statue of our Blessed Lady on the Feast of the Immaculate Con¬ ception. The Marian Society Banner, carried by six preliminary students was followed by Miss G. Miller carrying a white satin cushion centered with a crown of pink rosebuds, and Miss K. Rogoschewsky carrying a beautiful bouquet of deep pink carnations. During the refrain of We crown Thee with blossoms today, Mary, Queen of Nurses, Miss E. Troendle, President of the Marian Society placed the crown on the head of Our Lady. A Nurse ' s Consecration to Mary , led by Miss Troendle, was followed by a short talk by Father Andries regard¬ ing the expectations of a Catholic nurse. The ceremony closed with Benediction of the Blessed Sacra¬ ment. A NURSES ' S CONSECRATION TO MARY: O ever glorious and immaculate Mother of God, I choose thee as my Mother, my Patroness and Ideal in the sacred profession of a nurse. Realizing that you, dear Mother Mary, ever acted as an Assistant to the Divine Physician, I beg of you to guide and direct me in every moment of my nursing career. Let all my thoughts, words and actions, every step I take, every breath I draw be directed to the greater honor and glory of God. Walking in your glorious foot¬ steps and imitating your angelic purity, your deep humility, your unquestioning obedience, and your boundless charity, may I, after a life of unflinching service of Christ-like sympathy, merit the favor of being close to you and your Divine Son for all eternity. Amen. November 22nd marked the night the students accepted the challenge of the Faculty Basketball team. It was a chance for students and teachers to get acquainted. The students managed, with hasty preparation, to scrape together a mascot, cheerleaders, and a de¬ termined group of former basketball players. The teachers put on a great show to get things underway. They entered the gym parading their various costumes -- patients, beatniks, bathing beauties, flappers, etc. The game got off to a good start with the faculty taking an early lead. Their combination plays were terrific and shots were out of this world. (As a matter of fact, they ' re still searching for the balls). Although handicapped by sewed baskets, ladders, cross-court playing, questionable refereeing, and penalties for speeding, the determined students carried on the fight. The turning point of the game came at half-time when members of the cheering section skillfully kidnapped the faculty ' s mascot, Bernard, the donkey. Heartsick and lone¬ some for their idol, the confidence of the faculty was shattered and the students easily over¬ came them. At the finish of the game all the tired faculty members were refreshed by a quick, cool shower, compliments of the students. The grand finale was the awarding of a cup for the most school spirit by Father K. Koep to Pat McCarthy, who represented the student team. We then all enjoyed cakes and donuts followed by community singing led by Miss Durealt. A special thank you to the faculty for a fun-packed evening! P. S. -- By the way, Bernard, the donkey, lonely and dejected, was found wandering near the General Hospital. Mardi Gras Sunday, February the 12th was crowned by an eventful evening at Christ the King parish hall. Yes, the Marian Society put on a full Masquerade Mardi Gras. The Crystallites from Little Flower supplied excellent music for dancing in the gaily decorated hall. It was ingeniously ornamented with valentines, cupids, balloons, and hearts. Paul Hack, our M. C. saw to it that everyone was having a good time. Two of our girls, Yvette Gauthier and Dianne Cullings won the prize for the Best Dressed couple. They sure made cute babies! ! Clarence Gelowitz from Little Flower was recognized as having the most original costume. Lunch was served and the Bard twins as well as the Barber Shop Quartet provided the luncheon entertainment. We would like to extend a special Thank You to Sr. Superior, Sr. Alice Brodeur, Father Andries, and all those who contributed, for having made this pleasant and exciting evening possible. Senior Activities The first activity of our senior year was a barbecue held at the east side of the residence. We enjoyed delicious hamburgers barbecued by our master chefs, along with drinks, chocolate bars, peanuts, and marshmallows burned to our own taste. A Sing-song and humorous games rounded up our activities. The long awaited day came when we as Seniors initiated the new Probie class. With their hair in pigtails, coats on backwards, rubber boots on their feet, and lipstick markings on their faces, the group was sent out on a scavenger hunt. Upon their return, the winning group was given a little reward for their efforts. This was followed by a supper enjoyed by Seniors and Probies alike. Members of The 1961 Graduating Class were guests of honor at the S. R. N. A. Christmas party held in the Solarium, and the Alumnae Christmas party held in the Nurses Residence during the Christmas season. The students ' annual Christmas party rounded out the years activities for 1960. Again the Preliminary class displayed their talents in a variety programme. This was followed by the Christ¬ mas pageant put on by the Seniors. Gifts were distributed by Santa, Mrs. Santa, and two little elves. The Colonial Ballroom at the Saskatchewan Hotel was filled to capacity January 27,1961, the night of the Senior Prom. The Andy Gables Orchestra supplies a variety of gay music for the occasion. Everyone reported a delightful evening of dancing and fun. Intermediate Activities The Class Bar-B-Cue saw the first year out and the second year in. Finger-lickin ' hamburgers, wieners, corn on the cob, and marshmallows singed to a turn, filled the eyes and mouths of Ye former Probies . Well fed and happy, together, we realized we have passed the first goal post - a small accomplishment in view of greater things ahead. This year, in conjunction with our psychiatric lectures, a field trip to the Moose Jaw Training School was arranged. Chartered busses on two separate occasions took the Intermediate class to Moose Jaw for the afternoon tour. Members of their faculty gave us an overall picture of the nursing of these patients, and satisfactorily answered our queries. Actually seeing the mentally retarded patient in a therapeutic environment made our psychiatric lectures so much more interesting and meaningful. There is always a lull before a big storm and in Mid- April we Red Bands are going to be storming and blowing up a galla event. We have a Tea, Bake Sale and Show of Novelties all lined up for the Spring Thaw. Be seeing you there! Probie Activities On September 7,1960, R. G. N. H. Residence was invaded by 96 Probies. In October we were initiated into the school. We were really a sight, dressed in jeans, rubbers, coats worn backwards and our hair in several small pigtails and the usual added war paint. Divided into groups, we were given instructions to follow as we were going | on a Treasure Hunt . The first group back was to get a prize -- what a prize! It was all f un, and we enjoyed a fine supper following it. Later that evening, still a little apprehensive, we put on our Talent Show , which consisted of vocal numbers, a Hawaiian act by Lynne Schmidt, a pantomime by J. Sim, a chorus line under the direction of S. Bearman, a Negro act, and the Hill Billy number presented by Claire Boyd. Following this we sang our probie song, and ended an eventful day in our lives. Then again at the Christmas Party we took part in the pro¬ gram by presenting two plays, Mrs. Santa Claus” and Good Will Toward Women”, the Hawaiian act and vocal solos. This past year has been one of hard work and studying, getting acquainted with and used to a new way of life, and await¬ ing with eager anticipation the day we would be able to wear our white caps.

Literary TO A STUDENT’S CAP There you lie, unfolded, looking as forlorn as a picnic table in a snowstorm. Today you go to the bottom of my trunk; I exchange you for a grad cap, but not without a touch of sadness in my heart and a glint of a tear in my eye. In the bottom of this dark trunk where you will now remain, I hope that your days will be brightened by the memory of our experiences together. Ah, so many months have passed since our first meeting. Yet, it seems just moments ago that you were pinned on my head. Will you recall that first meeting -- that day so long ago, when you were first taken from the table and handed to me? As I made my way to centre stage the applause of the audience swelled and became our triumphal march. You seemed to smile in mute sympathy and deep understanding as I tried to erase the flush of pride that crept into my face when I was congratulated by friends, relatives and seniors. Let ' s not forget the morning I left you behind in my rush to get to work. The night before had been a perfect end to that day. Sleeping time was all too short, and the sound of the trolley rumbling by, awoke me from the Land of Nod. When I took that last glance into the mirror all seemed fine. Even the harsh glare of the naked light bulb did not help me see that you were not perched atop my curls. How fast I rushed back to get you ! Can we ever forget the day I so carelessly threw you on the bed in my haste? Your winged shape had disappeared when the girl next door pulled you from beneath her. On wards we went through many experiences together. The day you fell in the bed pan should never leave our memory. Remember the time you sat sadly on my head matching my mood of that day. So many things, so many memories. At first you were just a plain white cap -- but as we climbed a rung higher on the ladder you received your first decoration -- a red band. You felt a little heavier that day. Then came the third rung and a gold band. We had almost made our goal. Now at last with your encouragement the goal has been attained. And you, who have tasted with me all the joys, sorrows, hardships of this bitter sweet career, have come to rest in my trunk. You will sorrow at first, but then your light will penetrate where no light has gone, and the shadows will be less gloomy. Thanks to you for your friendly companionship during our three years May the work and play we shared together remain a stepping stone to future years. C. Beaudin NIGHTS We all enjoy working at night, From when it is dark until it is light. We have our duties to perform, So we never have time to feel forlorn. We arrive on the floor and have report, Then everyone leaves and we hold the fort. We check the patients to see they are sleeping, And talk to the ones who at us are peeping. We check to see that I. V ' s are running. And take B. P ' s with lots of cunning. When we know all ' s at its best, We then begin our work at the desk. First to the Pharmacy to check the drugs, Then I usually fill water jugs. Make our requisitions for all a. m. tests, Then clean up the place with lots of zest. Q4H temps must all be taken, To wake them up, patients must be shaken. When these are finished and all on the chart. We feel we have made a pretty good start. Everyone then gets a coffee break. Not all at once for the patients sake. A little something to eat for lunch, Then we all return to our floors in a bunch. Then we make the rounds to see all are there, And cover the ones who are lying bare. Pass out hypos when they are needed, Glaring lights are always heeded. Sneaking around in the dark of the night, Tripping over things that are not in sight. Waking the patients to see if they ' re sleeping, At their dressings we are often found peeking. Doing our charts at the break of dawn, One chart done and three lights on. Don’t forget in the Kardex to scribble, Or report will be given dribble by dribble. Finally the morning sun peeps in the shade, Night report at the switchboard is laid. Pharmacy trays are put in their places, And patients awake with smiling faces. Day staff arrive one at a time, If we miss breakfast it will be a crime. We give report and answer all questions, We try our best to remember suggestions. Then off we go buzzing like bees, Get to the cafeteria and remember the keys. There goes the phone, I wonder who for, Would McDonald and Bailey return to the floor? Half an hour later the keys are returned, After today our lesson we ' ve learned. We return to the Res. , feeling half dead, And are most delighted to crawl into bed. THE NURSERY The nursery is the place to work, ' Cause the experience you obtain, May come in handy some fine day. Unless a spinster you remain. You wash the babies with phisohex, Then dry them with a towel, Then Desiten, then diaper, Boy listen to them howl. You feed them, you burp them, Then lay them down to sleep, And if your luck is with you, There will not be a peep. Usually though they like to scream, They look a little blue, You quickly pick them up again, And they begin to coo. When feeding time rolls around, You place them in a cart, Then out we go to mother, To let her do her part. Now ' s the time they go to sleep, Won’t budge when spanked or shaken, And just return them to their cribs, And sure as guns they ' ll waken. You weigh them in and weigh them out, To be sure that they ' ve had plenty, And out of thirty babies, You have to sup just twenty! When newborns are carried in, We clean them, weigh and measure, Then over to the window, Where father waits with pleasure. When we left the nursery, There were teardrops in our eyes, Those babies - we sure will miss Their gurgles and their cries. McDonald and Bailey SENIOR BLOCK Senior block is finally here. Our final classes, our final year, To class with books in hand we trot, Last nights studying we have all forgot. They are teaching us urology, Its symptoms and pathology, The nursing care must be on top, Or the operation will be a flop. Neurosurgery is next in line, This includes brain, nerves and spine, With interest we listen with open ears, To results of research these past few years. To do or not to do that is the question, Ethics steps in to hand a suggestion, Ethics, our guide, our helping hand, To do what is expected of a black band. Orthopedics now has its turn, So diseases of bone, joints we learn, Care of traction, splints and casts, How to set a bone so that it lasts. Civil defense we must master, So panic won ' t follow a disaster, We as nurses can assist, An opportunity we won ' t resist. Many are cared for through Public Health, Those who are poor, those who have wealth, In case this field we care to choose, Interest in these classes we do not lose. As a nurse we have a profession, How to adjust that is the question, Professional adjustments shows us the road. So we will be prepared to carry the load.

But what I mean by ‘better women’ is that the eyes of your souls have been opened, the range of your sympathies has been widened, and your characters have been moulded by the events in which you have been participators during the past years. “Practically there should be for each of you a busy, useful, and happy life; more you cannot expect; a greater blessing the world cannot be¬ stow. Busy you will certainly be, as the demand is great, both in private and public, for women with your training. Useful your lives must be, as you will care for those who cannot care for themselves, and who need about them, in the day of tribula¬ tion, gentle hands and tender hearts. And happy lives shall be yours, because busy and useful; hav¬ ing been initiated into the great secret — that happiness lies in the absorption in some vocation which satisfies the soul; that we are here to add what we can to, not to get what we can from, life.” Sir William Osier With the best wishes of i QUALITY PHARMACEUTICALS Cfuwted S.3hoosl Co.
