facials FAREWELL AND HELLO Our social year began in September 1965 when the SSPNA members loaded a bus and their cars and went to Chesleys beach for a wiener roast to bid farewell to the graduating class of 1965 and welcome the future grads of 1968. Food and drinks provided by the Student Council and a sing song made it an enjoyable evening for all as we said goodbye to one class and wished good luck to another. HALLOWE ' EN At the later part of October, 1965, the nurses residence s itting room was all goblins, witches, and a few other weird things . Apples hanging from the chandeliers, apples in a tub of water, guitars, a Mexican hat, some Grecian belles, and a lonely dog all gathered for a fun evening. We thank Miss Narfason for giving us a good guessing game and the decorating committee who certainly outdid itself. MR. BROWN ' S PARTY On March 7, 1966, the students of the SMH bid farewell to Mr. R. S. Brown. The Nurses ' Residence sitting room shook with the music, the dancing, and the games. A band of young localites provided the music while some of the students showed off their talent. A marble desk set was presented to Mr. Brown as a small token of our gratitude and appreciation for all his work in trying to better the standards of the Student Psychiatric Nurse. We wish him all the best in success and happiness and we will be forever thankful to him. TOBOGGAN PARTY In January, 1966, a toboggan party was organized by the students at the Lockport slides. Snow, a few bruises, and a lot of fun was rounded off by a lunch at the Nurses ' Residence. SPORTS ACTIVITIES Mental Hospital Bowling News The Selkirk Mental Hospital Bowling League closed out their 1965-66 season with an annual windup held in the Curling Rink on Saturday, April 29th.
