Dear Fellow Students: You have paid me a great compliment by asking me to write a mes¬ sage for your Year Book. You have now finished your course of training at St. Boniface Hos¬ pital. I know it has been long, and sometimes difficult and tedious, but I am sure it has also been pleasant and profitable. I would like to sug¬ gest that you do not allow yourselves to forget the last three years, not even the difficult and tedious part o f them, and almost certainly you will not forget the pleasant parts. Memories are good companions. They do not force themselves upon you but can be called up at will—and what a host of memories you must have. The memory of difficult periods in your training called to your assistance in other difficult times will remind you that you suc¬ cessfully won out and can do so again. The memory of an exhibition of courage so often seen demonstrated by patients who were very, very ill and sometimes facing death, will inspire you with a similar courage when it is required. The memory of the good fellows you met among your own class mates, and even sometimes the surprise that finally came to you when you realized just how good someone was when you did not quite expect it. The memory of the tolerance with which others accepted you,—toler¬ ance of your race and religion and tolerance of your personal peculiari¬ ties. These things will refresh you. They ought also to make you toler¬ ant. The memory of the good times you have had while in training, for it has not all been hard work. There must have been a lot of fun, good wholesome fun, and please don’t forget that part either. This, then, is a message I would like to give you: Your memories can be good companions: They will not impose upon you, but will come to your assistance when asked to do so. Sincerely yours, C. R. RICE, M.D., C.M., Chief of Dept, of Gynecology, St. Boniface Hospital.

MESSAGE from SISTER BRODEUR Superintendent of Nurses My Dear Nurses: With you all I rejoice on this happy event of your graduation. After three years of study and dutiful service to the sick you have now attained the goal of your ambitions. May your ideal of charity and devotedness never dim through the years and may God grant you His most precious blessings and success. Yours sincerely, Rev. Sister A. BRODEUR, Superintendent of Nurses. O © MESSAGE from SISTER SUPERIOR The Nursing Profession has never in the history of our Country, nay of the whole world, become so prominent as it has during the last and unparalleled conflagration. The role played by the Nurses, directly or indirectly, in this drama, has placed their Profession among those who have deserved of their Country. Their very training, which implies devotedness and self sacrifices, particularly prepare and destine them to give primacy to the spiritual rather than to the human values of life. We are proud, and with every good reason, of our graduates and offer them our heartiest congratulations along with the assurance of our humble prayers, so that the Eternal Father may continue to inspire and guide them in the carrying out of their noble career which brings solace and relief to suffering humanity. Sister Albina BOISVERT, S.G.N. General Superintendent and Superior. 7
