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. Mrs. Schwann, President
