MESSAGE FROM Sr. TROTTIER My Dear Nurses: It is with great pleasure indeed that I accept the privilege of congratulating you on this happy day. The joy which is re¬ flected in your faces today is one which you have been looking forward to for three long years and it is only natural that your heart and soul be filled with great happi¬ ness. The ceremony of your Graduation comes as a public recognition of your suc¬ cess in the field of nursing which you have chosen for your career. You are filled with pride at the thought that you may now go into the wider field of nursing and help those with whom you will come in contact. People will have confidence in you. Do not disappoint them. Let this inspire you in the fulfillment of your daily duties and be an encouragement in your worthwhile task. We, too, are proud of you for we see in each one of you an apostle of health and a source of comfort for the suffering bodies and souls. We have tried to inculcate in you the principles of good nursing inspired by a Christian philos¬ ophy of life. It is your duty now to live up to those principles which are bound to bring you happiness and success. In so doing you will promote not only the health of the body of your patient, but also his mental and spiritual welfare. May God help you always in the task which He inspired you to choose and in which He himself excelled in fulfilling with so great perfection. Sister MELINA TROTTIER, S.G.M. (Asst. Supt. of Nurses) MESSAGE FROM MISS CRAIG I feel it a privilege to be granted this oppor¬ tunity to extend my best wishes and hearty con¬ gratulations to the graduating class of 1946. Having been a student-in-training with the graduating class of this year and this term having been associated with the Nurses’ Home, I still feel that I share in the life of the Residence and do, with you, look forward in real anticipation to this your graduation. Introspection just now will reveal mixed feel¬ ings—anticipation as you stand at a milestone in your career; a feeling of satisfaction as you have completed your formal education, and perhaps a twinge of loneliness as you leave the compan¬ ionship of the Nurses’ Home. About us we see a world just recovering from the shock of World War II. Although the war has been won the need for the professional serv¬ ices of the nurse are just as vital in the schemes of rehabilitation as they were on the battlefront. ness, sympathy and devotion which is symbolized Now, more than ever, the world needs the kind- by the nursing profession. On this momentous day you cannot avoid a moment of retrospection in which you feel a debt of gratitude to the valiant efforts of your pre¬ decessors in the profession and particularly the pioneers of this institution. The high expectations of those who have supervised your training will encourage you as you progress in your vacation. Nursing offers ample opportunity for widening one’s experi¬ ence and knowledge in your chosen field and no service pays higher dividends in satisfaction than that of ministering to your fellowmen. May much happiness be yours. HELEN CRAIG. 22
