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

QrJuatlon fa US TOLD TO fl yOUOG SISTER Imagine—my graduation day! Certainly never thought it would arrive. Jeepers, am I ever tired; guess I got about three hours sleep—I can never sleep when I’m excited, can you? Wonder how my hair will turn out? Guess I’d better take the curler out or it’ll be all frizzy—probably will be anyway— Oh well, I still have six hours to think about looking right. How’s the weather? No! I can’t believe it—sun’s shining! It’ll rain before this afternoon for sure—so keep your fingers crossed. Somehow I can’t realize that we were able to get everyone settled in real honest-to-goodness hotel rooms. 1 hope no one’s feelings are hurt because they didn’t get tickets for graduation. Probably left someone important out, but I’ll hear if I did. I wonder how the flowers will look? Remember the dream I had in which everyone forgot to order the flowers? Pat, maybe you’d better bring crocuses, just in case. Do you really think my pictures will turn out well? Oh, well, you don’t have to be so blunt. Look at the time-—I’ll have to get started—no thanks, couldn’t eat a thing, for a change. Well—look at me—I’m nearly ready. Does my pin look straight? My fingers are sore from trying to get it right. And have I too much lipstick on— or enough? What if I sneeze during the ceremony—I’ll be so embarrassed, not to mention the red nose I’ll probably have for the reception. And if I don’t sneeze, I’ll trip for sure. Even now I shudder at the thought of trying to find everyone at the reception. And when I think of the sleep I’m going to lose tonight because of today’s excitement—but things like this just happen once. I think it’ll be a lot of fun, don’t you? MARION FERG. Give smiles, and more will come to you, Give help and never trouble, Give joys to others here and there And yours will surely double. Give of your strength to those with less, Give reverence to sorrow, Give thoughtful gentleness today And then again tomorrow. Give with an open hand and heart, Give with full faith, believing That open hands and open hearts Are constantly receiving. Give love to every thought you think, For love is constant giving, Then wait and watch real riches come To all your life and living. (With apologies to Alfred Lord Tennyson) 8
