1963 j8t. outface The first St. Boniface Hospital of j?l dL pi. The St. Boniface General Hospital was founded in 1871 by the Grey Nuns of Montreal, and was the first Hospital to be established in Manitoba. The foundresses, four Grey Nuns, arrived in 1844 and their first contribution to the Community welfare of Manitoba was home nursing. The small four-bed wooden Hospital built in 1871 expanded in the years 1877, 1896, 1905, 1928 and 1954 and became the St. Boniface General Hospital of today with a capacity of 700 beds. During the year 1962 the Government of Manitoba approved plans for an extension to the existing Hospital, including: 1. The construction of a 250 bed Hospital for extended care and treatment. 2. An addition to the south wing of the Hospital to include 30 maternity beds and an expanded area for diagnostic and therapeutic services. 3. An extension to the present Out Patient Department. The St. Boniface General Hospital School of Nursing was established in 1897 when three students were enrolled. The old wing of the Nurses’ Residence was built in 1924, and a new wing was added in 1954, providing a present overall accommodation for 250 students. Plans are underway for renovation of the old wing and the construction of a gymnasium. edtcaigtt to SL 3)ong To one who has ever been: — — a guide to us — a friend and counselor — a leader in school spirit — an example of professional leadership In recognition for: — — your untiring efforts — your patience with our problems — and your genuine interest in us all We dedicate the 1963 ESTOTE FIDELES to you. warn STANDING, Left to Right: V.

Remain faithful to what? Three short years ago at the beginning of our training we pondered on these words and wondered what they meant for us. Now, as we stand on the threshold of our professional lives and the door to a rich and rewarding life lies open before us we realize the significance of our school motto. We have been privileged to receive a training that has prepared us physically, mentally and spiritually to be the leaders of our society and unless we adhere to the high principles and ideals that have been instilled into us and take our rightful place in society we have not remained faithful”. It is impossible for me to express my gratitude to the countless people who have helped in the preparation of this book and, in wishing next year’s staff every success, I can only hope they receive the same co-operation. For it is in this way only that we can progress to even greater accomplishments. Eileen B. Ward Editor. Q S STANDING, Left to Right: S. Trimble, L. Thomas, L. Coyston, L. Randall, N.

We are approaching the completion of three years of formal education in our chosen career and although it has seemed like an eternity at times it has passed by too quickly. As we reminisce, there is much we can be proud of. From time to time we will have faint recollections of failures, sacrifices which had to be made, and misgivings but I know that our reward will outshine these by far. Black band, diploma, and graduation pin represent the past three years and I know that these, along with your Alma Mater will always have a special place in your heart. We have not come to the end but are at the beginning of our profession. There is so much to do; the sick will always need us, and we have an obligation to keep in step with this ever-changing scientific world of ours. Do not let your ship drift endlessly on the sea of life but guide it to port with your acquired skills. Good luck to all the graduates. On behalf of the Student Council I would like to extend best wishes to the student body that your years of training will be as wonderful and unforgettable as ours have been.

Father Messier, Father Barclay ®ur (UljaplaittB On behalf of the Student Body thank-you, Father Messier, for the religion classes which you conducted, and the guidance you were so willing to give us, both in class and for personal problems. We may certainly be edified by your constant service to the patients in our hospital. The Student Body would like to extend its thanks to you, Father Barclay, for the guidance you gave us as director of Sodality and of the Catholic Student Nurses Association but especially for your instruction in Ethics classes. May we follow your example of self-dedication in caring for our patients. tribute to Most Rev. Maurice Baudoux Archbishop of St. Boniface (Pur rtijbtgljop To The Most Reverend Maurice Baudoux, We, his humble daughters, student nurses, extend our respectful and sincere wishes of happiness and health, and implore the Holy Spirit to bestow upon him His graces in abundance. We pray his Excellency to deign to accept the expression of our gratitude and humble obedience in this important year of the Ecumenical Council. The Student Nurses St. Boniface General Hospital School of Nursing Reverend Mother Rita Fortier s.g.m. Provincial Superior As we approach the completion of our nursing education we look back and realize just how much the Sisters in our hospital have aided us in our chosen vocation. This has been achieved not only through their practical instruction but by their very lives which ar e truly Christ-like and are dedicated to Him. We thank you, Reverend Mother, for making it possible for us to have the privilege of working with our Sisters. Reverend Mother Georgette Leduc s.g.m. Superior General At this time we wish to express our heartfelt gratitude and thanks to you, Reverend Mother. For it is you, by your example of prayerful confidence and prevailing good spirit which permeates and vivifies the whole order of our Sisters, that enables them to assist us in reaching the ultimate goal of everyone—to promote the greater glory and honour of God. Because you were a Director of Nursing for many years we can very well imagine that the interests of the students and the School of Nursing are dear to your heart. Sister Lucille Gosselin s.g.m. Sister Superior Dear Lord, teach me to toil and not to crave for rest, to labour and not to seek reward, save that of knowing that I do Thy will.” These simple, prayerful lines we dedicate to you, Sister Gosselin, and we extend our heartfelt thanks, for it was through you and under your expert guidance that these three wonderful years were made possible for us. By planning improvements both in the hospital and the residence you have thereby enhanced our nursing education. Sister Marie Bonin s.g.m. Director My dear Graduates, Congratulations on this, your Graduation Day! You have attained a threshold of accomplishment of which you are indeed proud. Having been closely associated with you during these three years, we share the happiness which you experience on this day. As you reminisce today over the past three years, many experiences flicker back into being. There were happy moments, trying ones, all of which developed this maturing process which is part of your nursing education. During these years you also witnessed many changes both in nursing education and nursing service. The concept of teamwork and concurrent teaching were inaugurated and you were made part of these innovations. It is my wish that you will always maintain this open-mindedness, this willingness to cooperate when the beacon of progress bids you to evaluate educa¬ tional methods or patterns of nursing care in the light of new and forthcoming trends. A challenging world is facing you. Be prepared, be courageous, be competent to meet the nursing needs of tomorrow. The success of our efforts to provide you with sound Christian principles and a well rounded nursing education does not lie solely in your marks you maintain, nor the diplomas which we offer you. The authentic proof of our success or discrepancy will be revealed five or ten years from now when you have left our institution. Do not be afraid to give yourself completely to your profession. Today’s world requires selfless souls to serve suffering humanity or worthy causes to promote progress. To maintain this ideal of professional maturity and total dedication you will need to seek God in prayer, availing yourself, thereby, of Divine help and guidance to assist you in radiating Christ in your endeavours and your ministrations. Dear Graduates, we are proud of you and we count upon you! Sincerely, Sister Marie Bonin, s.g.m. Director, School of Nursing. ]t (Attending jliaff Dear Doctors, In this case we need not say O Lord, make us truly thankful”. We are that already, dear Doctors—thankful for your innumerable contributions to the professional education and general advancement of our school. Throughout our training, you have so willingly shared your knowledge with us and directed us in times when we knew not what to do. Your kindness, patience, and consideration have given us the necessary encouragement to continue along the rugged pathway of these three years. Even your occasional stern command or criticism has led us to greater efficiency as a professional nurse. A simple thank-you” seems inadequate, but as we pass from here to unwind the future, we will continue to say Thank you for all you have shown us and all you have given us in our passing”.

It is through your guidance and leadership that our hospital has achieved its present high and respected standing and we would like to assure you that wherever we are working we will try to maintain the high standards of patient-centered care taught to us in St. Boniface and remember with respect and affection—our Medical Director. Mrs. K. De Jong President ®itr JUmuttae Dear Graduates, It is my privilege to bring you greetings and congratulations on behalf of the St. Boniface Nurses’ Alumnae Association. This is your organization, now that you are graduates of St. Boniface General Hospital School of Nursing. In the years ahead, as you venture into the many branches of nursing, remember that on the second Wednesday of every month you can meet old friends and new at the Alumnae meetings. As graduates you are paid up members of the St. Boniface Nurses’ Alumnae Association for one year ... a gift from your Alumnae. This membership extends from January 1st, 1963 to January 1st, 1964. As professional nurses a great deal will be expected of you, for the graduate nurse is an important person in this restless, changing world of today. There is no lack of opportunity: you need only the determination and the desire to succeed. Your Alumnae is willing to help you succeed by providing the Sister Clermont Award. This award is for Alumnae members who desire to continue their education in one of the university post-basic courses in nursing, leading to a bachelor’s degree. This award is open to applications. Dorothy Carnegie aptly stated What you and. I think, and what we do, are important in a larger kind of effect upon every other person with whom we have contact.” May the Future hold happiness and contentment for each of you. (Mrs.) K.

We remember with gratitude as we glance backward in time; the present we receive with humility; and for the future we resolve with sincerity. It is as though we have reached the end of the first stage of a journey;—one which has lead us to achieve our goal of becoming graduate professional nurses. Yet this end which we have attained today, is only the beginning of our next venture— one of being and living as such. Our journey, thus far, has taken in time three years to accomplish — and what marvellous years they have been; filled with the education, discipline and experience necessary for us to arrive at this destination. However, as any traveller is aware, the assistance of a great number of persons is essential to the successful completion of even the shortest expedition. As we recall all those who have contributed to our success, initially our mind sand hearts are inclined towards our parents and loved ones who are with us today. You have shared these years giving so generously of your love, support and encouragement, constantly and without restraint. You have re¬ mained close beside us helping to overcome obstacles and difficulties hindering our progress; assuring and reassuring. In your wisdom, when we needed it, you kept our eyes from trailing the ground — correcting the poor posture of our slumping spirits, exhorting us to lift up our heads from the temporary distractions and see our aims clearly once more. Today, as we pause, in recollection and realization of all you have done, we offer you our heartfelt, humble and loving gratitude. For those who venture any distance from people and places familiar to them, there is a great need of guides, protectors, advisors and teachers. The sisters and faculty of the St. Boniface School of Nursing, introduced us to our profession, taught us the skills we require and educated us in the ways of nursing. They have given so much to make this occasion:— Along with our own efforts, they have provided the means to this end. The sisters, while so admirably and ably directing the School, have given freely of their time to offer us guid¬ ance and advice whenever we have had need of it. Apart from fulfilling their duty of mapping the various routes we have taken, they have been for us illustrations of un¬ wavering dedication which has often sustained us in the various dilemmas and confusions assailing us as we travelled. The faculty have accomplished their difficult tasks; teaching, supervising and helping us in our determined acquisition of knowledge and skill. They have erected warning lights along the road at times, pointing out our errors and omissions, thereby protecting us from further mistake. They have demonstrated in their own lives the qualities we admire and respect. The medical and nursing staff of the hospital have given us frequent opportunities to add to our small but in¬ creasing stores of knowledge and ability. All of you, in the School and in the Hospital, have in¬ fluenced our voyage immensely: You have given it colour and warmth, by adding a wealth of interest and charm. Many mysteries you have shown us how to solve while providing us with a time to discover what we are capable of doing. You are the unforgettable and wonderful people we travelled with, and we are so proud to have met you. The feelings of pride and affection with which we shall speak of our School and Hospital in the future will be directed to you — who have worked so steadfastly through the years to shape the image we carry; to you — with whom we have shared such wonderful relationships and associations, and we shall always remember you. It is with deep appreciation and sincere gratitude that we present this acknowledgement of your efforts on our be¬ half. Everyone has given so generously to us in the forma¬ tion of our passport to the future. By their efforts and our own endeavors we have reached this Graduation Day and have received the recognition that we are ready to take our leave .... For today is the beginning of the next stage in the great journey oflife. Yesterday we were students, tomorrow we will be practitioners and in the future we must be the leaders necessary to maintain and increase the professional status of nursing. As we step forward, we shall feel the weight of the new responsibility of a graduate professional nurse, in¬ cluding, in many instances, the exercise of judgement for which we have been, in the past, largely dependant upon others. Hopefully we shall carry this responsibility well and with fulfillment; accomplishing our tasks wisely, with efficiency and careful thought. We must be ever- mindful that our obligation embraces the whole of society. With the passing of time, we will have duties to keep abreast of change and to welcome the knowledge which accompanies it. We will be expected to offer support for improvement and to become further educated, in order that professional progress may continue. Active partici¬ pation in whatever capacity we are able is essential if we are to maintain an awareness of what is happening in this profession to which we have dedicated ourselves. The roads we see before us are numerous and differ widely. We hope to possess the foresight and insight to choose the one for which we are best suited; the one in which we shall continue to grow in knowledge, wisdom and spirit; the one in which we shall be of the greatest service. In conclusion, on this day of remembrance and prom¬ ise, we are aware that difficulties and problems lie ahead as they did in the past. The horizons of success and achievement may be hidden from time to time by the clouds of despair and disappointment, but while we make efforts and wait for them to pass away, perhaps we would do well to recall these words: Go placidly amidst the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and ig¬ norant; they too have their story. If you compare yourself with others, you may be vain or bitter, for always there will be greater or lesser persons than yourself. Take kindly the counsel of the years, grace¬ fully surrendering the things of youth. Keep interested in your own career, how¬ ever humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.” Ladies and Gentlemen — the Class of 1963. ATEAH, EILEEN Victoria Beach, Man.

WARD, EILEEN Sheffield, England A heart that never hardens, A spirit that never tires, And a touch that never hurts. fetter to jHom amt Dear Mom and Dad, Tonight I have been thinking over the past three years and I could think of no better way to express my gratitude for all you have been to me, than to write this letter. How much you have meant to me, and how I have grown to realize the sacrifices you have made for me. You were always there with encouraging words and a helping hand and I know I could always turn to you when in doubt and desparity. Today is Graduation Day and you will be out there in the crowd letting me take all the glory, when you should be there with me, as it is you who deserve most of the credit for this moment. It seems like only yesterday when I took that first big step. I remember the empty feeling I had when I felt the door close behind me as I entered the first phase of training. But I went forth with confidence as I knew you were beside me to guide me, to give me the support I needed so much. At each new challenge your words would echo in my mind and give me the strength to accept the challenge and conquer it. When I received my pin you were there in thought as I was officially accepted into the school, as I went up the first rung of the ladder. The second and third years have slipped by so quickly. I am sure you never knew what to expect—first a letter of woe and despondency, then one of excitement and—I think it was you, Dad, who suffered the most—your pocket book anyway. How you would laugh when I came home and related my many blunders. But you were always there sharing my moods and sympathizing—sometimes scolding but always ready to lend a helping hand. I sincerely hope that I have justified your pride in me and in the future contin ue to live up to the standards you have set for me and encouraged me to follow. Thank you, Mom and Dad, a small word to express the deep appreciation I have for the constant faith, guidance and assistance you have given me. I can only thank God for having two wonderful parents like you. Your loving daughter. 6I6.Z a 1 te: .: • f MEDH Who else does so many varied things for de Montigny and Carmen. V.

At times we have hung our heads in disgust when criticism and advice were given to us. It is only when we reflect to our mental diary that we can begin to realize that the sacrificial influence of our residence life will affect us forever. Some of our projects for the 1962-63 term include dancing lessons, the honour system and revision of the Student Guide Book. On behalf of all the students I wish to thank those who have devoted so much of their time and efforts into making our home happy: Sister Bonin, Sister Desbiens and Sister Fleury for all their guidance and understanding; the ladies at the switchboard for their kindness and co-operation and Miss Peterson for her sincere interest and everlasting patience. As residence Chairman, I should like to express my sincere appreciation to the Committee members, Miss Erickson our Faculty advisor and Miss Nash, my pre¬ decessor and to the student body for your co-operation, endless energy and lasting loyalty. Our best wishes extend to the incoming residence committee. Doreen J. Smando, Chairman, Residence Committee. jloctal Report The 1962 - 63 Social Year began in September when a Probie Welcome Party” was held in the Sister’s garden. Amid many strange faces the ninety-eight preclinical students were extended a warm welcome by the Sisters, Instructors and seniors. The weather was perfect and the excellent buffet supper prepared and provided by the Sisters added to the enjoyment of the evening. The classes of 1963B, ’64A, and ’64B provided the entertainment. In November two social activities ensued. On the 28th the Annual Blue and Gold Banquet was held at which the Little Sisters’’honoured the Big Sisters”. This much anticipated event was greatly enjoyed by all. On November 20th a School Dance was held. With December upon us we had a Christmas Party for all students in the Hospital Auditorium. The entertainment provided by each class was highly applauded and Santa Claus with his greetings and gifts made the evening completely successful. Early in January our major activity was the Penny Carnival and Open House. Later in the month a party was held for the 1963A finishing class. Tobogganing was the key word here followed by refreshments and fun back at Residence. In February the annual M.S.N.A. Valentine Formal was held at the Sildor Ball¬ room — and was well supported by St. Boniface Nurses. A Diploma Tea was held for the finishing class in March and apart from Gradu¬ ation with all its attendant festivities no other social events have been held. A sincere thank-you to the Sisters for providing wonderful food at our get-to¬ gethers, and to the Sisters and Instructors for taking an avid interest in us and our activities. I would also like to thank all the students who helped and supported the social functions — and a special thank-you to the Social Committee for their help and co-operation in making our social year a successful one. In closing I would like to wish the incoming Social Committee the best of luck. Myrna Kish, Chairman, Social Committee. 0 O O Q—O—0— C _ol Modality of (©ur legged |Ha The Sodality of Our Lady is a religious association approved by the Holy See, it is both a spiritual and apostolic organization.

The Sodalist tries to achieve her goal by following the daily duties of the Sodality such as daily Mass, Communion, Rosary, mental prayer and performing apostolic work. During the past year the Sodality has sponsored and organized monthly recol¬ lections teaching catechism, recitation of the Rosary each evening. In May and Septem¬ ber fund-raising activities were undertaken to send delegates to conferences on the lay apostolate. At Christmas time the Sodality set up the Crib in the main Hospital lobby and sent a hamper to a poor family.

Retreat God has always rewarded his loved ones a hundredfold.” To many of us, this reward came in the form ofa closed retreat held in the Grey Nun’s Provincial House, in the autumn of 1962. A closed retreat is a time dedicated to prayer, meditation, and complete nearness to God. It is getting away” from the world to give your spiritual needs all the time and thought they deserve. This year, the Catholic Student Body was divided into three groups, with each group attending one of three retreats. Father Couture, Chancellor of the St. Boniface Archdiocese, Father Hickerson, a Marionist Priest in St. Boniface, and Father Marand, Pastor of Middle Church Parish capably conducted the retreats. To them, and to the Sisters who were responsible for organizing the retreats, we offer our most sincere thank you.” For many of the students, this will be the last retreat they will ever attend. But to us all, it has enlightened and better prepared us for our journey through life.

N.C.F. has been active in St. Boniface since 1951. Our aim and motto is To know Christ and to make Him known.” N.C.F. en¬ deavours to provide a closer and deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and through Him, draw strength needed in our daily lives. Our weekly meetings include hymn singing, student-led Bible studies and mis¬ sionary visits. We also have a weekly prayer meeting. Fellowship is also enjoyed through weekend camps, variety programmes and monthly Firesides’’with the Inter- Varsity group. Christ leadeth me: O blessed thought. O heavenly words with comfort fraught. What e’er I do, where e’er I be Still ’tis God’s Hand that leadeth me.” Knowing this, we should not be afraid to venture into the future. Dolores Hall, N.C.F. President. The M.S.N.A. Executive and their advisoi The Manitoba Student Nurses’ Association links the seven schools of nursing in the province. It has as its purpose the following objectives: — a) to promote interests of the Manitoba student nurses through unity b) to provide social contact and fellowship among the students of nursing in Manitoba c) to offer the opportunity for the Manitoba student nurses to realize the duties, rights and privileges of professional nurses d) to raise funds for provision of a bursary for students in need of assistance to complete their nursing education in the Diploma programme. The annual Probie Party, held at Winnipeg General Hospital, Christmas carolling, skating parties and the annual Valentine Formal are but a few of the social events of the year. The monthly meetings held at each respective member hospital are open to all members of the Association. Maureen Herman M.S.N.A. representative. Sports Report Our sports activities seemed to excel in softball this year. Several games against the Manitoba Home for Girls were enjoyed, although the main event was the M.S.N.A. Sports Day. On this occasion St. Boniface was placed second in the trophy competition. I would like to thank the members of the Sports Committee and our advisor, Miss Graham, for their help and also, all those who participated and gave their support to our school. Shirley Fisher Chairman, Sports Committee. For most people singing is a form of relaxing and enjoying oneself. In a school of nursing this gives the students a chance to get together and sing, and this then automatically means a choir. Those are two reasons why we set aside one hour a week for Glee Club practices. Our director, Mr. Kerr Wilson, well-liked by the students and well-known for his singing, then proceeds to try and prepare us for any occasion for which we have been asked to sing. This year included singing at our own Christmas pro¬ grammes and the recording of Christmas carols, which was then heard on Christmas Eve over one of our local radio stations. One of the most important occasions coming up and for which we are now practicing is Graduation. We hope we have given you some insight into our Glee Club. For the past few years we have spoken with pride of our Glee Club and we hope that we will continue to do so in the years to come.

Who thought he was dying so he went into the living room. Who stayed up all night to study for his Wasserman test. Who took a streetcar home — and his mother, also a moron, made him take it back again.

But what I mean by ‘better women’ is that the eyes of your souls have been opened, the range of your sympathies has been widened, and your characters have been moulded by the events in which you have been participators during the past years. “Practically there should be for each of you a busy, useful, and happy life; more you cannot expect; a greater blessing the world cannot be¬ stow. Busy you will certainly be, as the demand is great, both in private and public, for women with your training. Useful your lives must be, as you will care for those who cannot care for themselves, and who need about them, in the day of tribula¬ tion, gentle hands and tender hearts. And happy lives shall be yours, because busy and useful; hav¬ ing been initiated into the great secret — that happiness lies in the absorption in some vocation which satisfies the soul; that we are here to add what we can to, not to get what we can from, life.” Sir William Osier With the best wishes of It takes 5 years to throw the switch!
