Rady, M.D. Medal for Student Leadership Presented by Paul L’Heureux, M.D. VALEDICTORY by Shirley Boyd Today, our Graduation Day, is a momentous occasion in our lives. Graduation, as evidenced by our bands of black velvet, grad pins and bouquets of roses, marks the end of our training and the beginning of our careers. When we entered training, we were apprehensive, but eager to begin our new lives as student nurses ... to fulfill our girlhood dreams of comforting the sick and cooling the fevered brow. Yet, now, we realize how much more nursing is than that we had imagined. We are truly a part of all we have met. But what has shaped us from the girls we were two and a half years ago, into the individuals and nurses we are today? Our first year as probies created many changes and adjustments. Residence living had a great influence in maturing us. Learning to live with two hundred and fifty other girls is a task few experience ... As we began to fit names to faces our class spirit developed. Day by day, we learned consideration for others, respect and tolerance for differing attitudes and beliefs. . . First year was mainly devoted to gaining basic knowledge and skills. There were times when we seriously doubted our ability in applying our new found knowledge . . . We all remember the thrill of pride and excitement when we started on the wards. They were strange, exciting places and we were only too aware of how little we knew. Gradually, we adjusted ... At first we were nervous with our patients . . . Through experience, however, we realized that we must simply be ourselves . . . With second year came our Blue Bands and the status of being a Big Sister. As we met our Little Sisters at the front door, we asked ourselves “Did 1 really look that young and uncertain? ” Having Little Sisters seemed to boost our self-confidence .. . Throughout second year we studied the specialties. We learned that though we could spread our wings a little, we were not yet ready to fly. There was still much to be learned and experienced. In Psychiatry we learned of the vast unknown reaches of the mind. We realized the great value of thinking “is it kind”, “is it true” and “is it necessary,” before we spoke. In applying these three guidelines of conversation in our daily lives we became more tactful and mature. Maternity nursing revealed to us the wonder of being women and the beauty of life. Throughout the three months spent there, for us, the miracle of birth never lost its impact. Land of the Little People — we experienced children with minds of their own! Students wo. .ing on 8A were readily recognized by uniforms splattered with pablum, cherry cough syrup and whatnot. The ward also had its heartaches — little Jamey who cried every time a nurse entered his room, fearing yet another needle; or frightened Daren, for whom the “magic green medicine” held no magic. Third year came almost too soon, but we were finally seniors with our Yellow Bands. At last, we were the priviledged ones. With senior classes came the startling realization that N.L.N.’s were only two short weeks away, with R.N.’s in just four months. Studying began in earnest. We discovered just how much material we had covered. With third year came the unhappy thought of going our separate ways. Perhaps, more than ever, we realized how much residence life meant. We have made true and deep friendships . . . friends who have stood with us and shared with us the challenges, disappointments and small successes, inherent in being a student nurse . . . friends who taught us to laugh at ourselves, showing us that we were not really alone in our struggles . . . We have come to recognize the true value of friendship. Though there were days when the struggle seemed too full of frustration, we knew that waiting in residence was a true friend who would understand . . . Our instructors, lectures, ward experiences and classmates were all part of our growing and maturing. But by far the greatest influence on our development lies in our interactions with our patients. Today we are able to understand how great was their impact. Without them we might never have known . . the miracle of seeing a new life begin . . or the realization of the courage involved in the fight to regain health. We might never have gained an understanding of suffering and pain . . of death . . or the deep satisfaction and sense of fulfillment in watching a patient go home to family and friends, knowing that in our own small way, we had helped. It was in learning to perform the small, meaningful tasks that we developed thoughtfullness and consideration ... We realized that our greatest happiness lies in the giving of ourselves to others. Our patients have taught us to care deeply, “to give and not to count on the cost.” For it was often they who gave us the greatest encouragement. To our instructors, thank you for your calm confidence in us when we needed to retain our composure through some difficult experience. Sister Gauthier and Sister Winter . . thank you for your open doors and ready smiles. Your cheerful willingness to give needed guidance or just to listen will always be remembered and cherished. And thank you, Mom and Dad . . for you have seen us through thick and thin. You have loved and understood us, when we were unknowlingly venting our frustration and dissatisfaction in ourselves, on you ... You helped us view our discouragements as challenges for the future, to be met with greater incentive to try harder, the next time. Yet how inadequate are those two little words, “Thank you.” There are no words to fully express our feelings today. Your love and constant encouragement has helped us to realize our dreams. Perhaps our best way of expressing our gratitude is to continue to give of our very best. . to live up to the ideals you have instilled in us. This is a day of intense emotions for us . . . bittersweet nostalgia as we leave behind the security of residence and the classmates we have grown to love . . . and joy! We have made it! But what are we truly striving to attain? Is this the end or just the beginning of our search for knowledge and improvement. Again we stand at the threshold of a new world . . . and again we feel the uncertainties of the future. And we ask ourselves these questions. “Am I really ready to accept the responsibilities which will be mine tomorrow? Will I really be able to cope effectively on my own? ” Even as we stood on that different threshold two-and-a-half years ago with immeasurable love and support behind us, we know that this love will continue to guide us in the challenge now facing us. Perhaps the words of Lord Tennyson will help us to set our priorities as we become graduate nurses. “That which we are we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” . . to strive to become better individuals and therefore better nurses. . . to continue to seek knowledge, for we are truly just beginning to recognize the many avenues open to us. . . to find new methods so that we may improve our nursing care. . . and not to yield to the temptation of being less than we are capable of becoming. Though tomorrow we go our separate ways, let us remain one in purpose . . to elevate the standards of our profession by continuing in our quest to become ever better individuals and nurses. Yes. .to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield!

It means seeing the miracle of a new life and the joy or sorrow that it brings. Seeing the nervous father with a lighted pipe in his breast pocket, smiling at HIS child. It means arriving on 8A at 0730 —and leaving at 0800 for a clean uniform — clean slip ... It means relearning nursery rhymes — playing with building blocks — teaching through play. It means forcing fluids through sealed lips and comforting a crying child. Med-Serg means something different . . . Reminding patients not to remove their traction! Walking into a room and seeing a Kelly overflowing . . . Realizing the value of speech, sight and hearing . . . seeing a sigmoidoscopy and glad that you’re just an onlooker.

January isn’t only the beginning of a new year — it’s celebrating our half-way party . . . and the dates of our N.L.N.’s are posted . . . our training is nearly through! ” — “You make it sound so short yet it seems so far away . . .! See you tonight at the party.” A Second Year left to think alone . . . Do I have and will I keep her enthusiasm? Do I care enough to give my best... ? YELLOW BANDS I m i ' - q! Jl 1L_ B.

First day of Senior Class Finally our cherished yellow bands; Back to the books and taking notes, Down the drain go all our hopes. No three weeks of relative ease; As our sore coccyx we failed to appease. Those awful pressures — six exams — One — two, three — four, five — six whams! O.R. classes, what a scream!

Where our knowledge widened far — One nurse, one patient and time to spend; Talking and reading for hours on end. In Community Health we’re rudely awakened To realize we’ve been gravely mistaken. Poverty and despair are now in our dreams, As the plight of others is clearly seen. Mrs. McNaught’s hopes are not in vain For public health will see many again. Emergency — excitement plus Whose in shock the patient or us. The spirit of Christmas was in our hearts, By helping others we played our parts. Snow on the ground, with the festive season near We had our Christmas party to spread good cheer. Santa Claus and his reindeer made it here, too But males aren’t allowed to slide down our “flue.” The New Year was shattered with coming R.N.’s Our studying would cease but we didn’t know when Tempers ran high and as we slept less We looked at ourselves thinking, “What a mess! ” The tumult is over, now the waiting begins All passes are used — who wants to stay in?

The day is here — March 13th at last! It all began with our Grad Breakfast. With pride in our hearts and smiles on our faces We file into the church and take our places . . . A diploma, a pin, a pledge to mankind, A vow to ourselves to better our minds. . . Our banquets, our dance, and as the dawn draws nigh To our grad friends we tearfully say goodbye. Our training is done — one goal has been met The future looks bright for the others we have set. RESIDENCE WHO AM I? I am me — mostly me. But some of you — and you — and you.

Thank you each and every one of you for giving me the privilege to serve as your President. Especially, I would like to thank Sister Gauthier and my most capable council members for their much needed support. It was only through their help and the student body’s high spirit that this year was such a success. Good luck to my graduating classmates, and to the future graduates of S.B.G.H.!

She was conceived in May, 1969. After many long, but otherwise short, months of planning and consideration, true labour began. Estote Fideles and her staff passed through all the normal phases and stages (plus a few extra) involved in the production of a yearbook. By Christmas, she was sent to I.C.P. for publication. On this day of March 13, 1970, Estote Fideles has been delivered, through the capable hands of B. Cringan Co.! Many thanks to everyone who has had a part in the safe outcome of Estote Fideles — those who took pictures, had their pictures taken, typed, did layouts, blew up, reduced, cropped, composed copy, counted, proofread, wrote letters, bought ads, collected ads (and signatures), advised, assisted, stayed up late nights, raised money, helped meet deadlines, gave emotional support, cried alot... Estote Fideles, today, is christened “Be Faithful”. She was a little premature, but no complications have developed . . . The junior members of her staff will be allowed a few weeks abstinence before beginning the 1971 edition — Good Luck! ! Life is just what you make it. Living is what you believe. Friends are just as you take them What you expect you receive. If you seek goodness or badness, Hearts that are cold or are kind — Yea, if you seek gladness or sadness, That what you look for . . . you’ll find.
