GRHDUHTING CLHSS, 1945 C ONGRATULATIONS to the Graduating Class of 1945. With your gradu¬ ation your life work begins. May we wish you every success in it. There are many fields of endeavour open to you. Each of you will sooner or later no doubt fulfil her destiny and become a homemaker and mother. When you do, the three years of discipline and liberal education and the special knowledge that you have received, will prove of inestimable value in the community in which you are to live. In the meantime no doubt many of you will carry on as private nurses. Some will remain in positions of responsibility in the wards in the hospital, or in the operating room, where it will be your privilege to pass on to new students what you have learned. No doubt some of you will join the armed forces and thus add to the lustre that has come to St. Boniface Nursing school from our nursing sisters of the past. There are always positions in a Doctor’s office especially for those who are or will become stenographers, and those who have learned the special technique to become laboratory, X-ray or physio-therapy technicians. New hospitals will be established throughout the country immediately after the war, giving openings for those of you who have executive ability and will take responsibility. The Public Health Nursing Service will claim some of you. Whatever field of endeavour you may enter you must realize now that you are Graduates of St. Boniface Hospital, that there is a great work for you in the grand new post-war world which is coming. And you must realize that you are to be leaders in this new world. During your training you have done many foolish and thoughtless things for which there was every excuse to the student; that is all now behind you. If you can change the gender of the masculine words in the following stanza, perhaps you will find Kipling’s words have a special message for you at this time. “Take up the white man’s burden — Have done with childish days, The lightly proffered laurel, The easy ungrudged praise. Comes note, to search your manhood, Through all the thankless years, Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom, The judgement of your peers.” How we oldsters envy you the opportunities that lie in store for you as Graduates of St. Boniface Hospital. May I say to each of you “The Lord bless thee and keep thee; the Lord make His face to shine upon thee, and give thee peace”, and all the other good things that should come to you in your devoted life as a graduate nurse!
