ELEANOR KUSMIRE, Estevan, Sask. Storm and sunshine rolled in one, Quick with fury when wrong is done, Plump and hearty, joking the while. Just you tease her and she will smile. WILHELMINA IMBERY — Estevan, Sask. Flashing eyes and quick as lightning Full of pranks and often fighting Doctors, grads, and sister too Will all be sad now Imbery’s through! ELLA McCAFFREY, Manitou, Man. A better nurse you may never meet, She’s kind to all and a friend so sweet, But who can trust her with secrets deep If she must talk all night in her sleep? LOUISA HAYES — Rose Valley, Sask. Who’s the round faced charming doll? Who’s got plenty on the ball? Who’s to share her future days? Don’t ask us, ask Louie Hayes. CLAUDIA ROSSET, St. Claude, Man. We all agree it means so much, To have Miss Rossett’s feminine touch. To plan and create with skill and grace; In our hearts she’s won a place. DOROTHY PAYNE, Balmoral, Man. She has rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes She walks in a dream and awaits surprise At mealtime her food she may neglect For she can live on the letters she gets. IOLA LOBB — Melfort, Sask. Here is one who does her work, Who never does her duty shirk In spite of troubles, sickness too, She always has a smile for you. FRANCIS MclNTYRE, MacNutt, Sask. Her aristocratic looks You may read about in books. Her healthful disposition, She owes to her physician.

Rev. Sister M. Trottier returned to St. Boniface in May 1944 after completing a two-year course at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., where she obtained her Bachelor of Science in Nursing Education. On July 1944 she was welcomed to the nurses residence to take her position as Assistant Superintendent and Instructress of Nurses. A few of the subjects she teaches are Hygiene, Ethics, Gynecology, Orthopedics and Communicable Diseases. Besides this work she is also the Directress of the Children of Mary Sodality. As student nurses, we unanimously say that we enjoy having her with us as Superintendent, Instructress and Directress. s ' «r
