Dear Graduating Class of 1961: You are the fiftienth graduating class of St. Paul ' s School of Nursing. For three years much work, effort and time has been given by yourselves and your teachers to acquire the skills and training needed to minister to the sick and the suffering. The aim of your teachers has been to teach you the nursing skills and even more important to mould your characters so that your work and all your activities might be ennobled, guided and perfected according to the example and teaching of Jesus Christ. Your character and your actions will merit for you the distinction and the compliment of ‘other Christs ' . May He always be your inspiration and may you never falter in striving to attain the high and noble ideals taught at St. Paul’s School of Nursing. Sincerely in Christ, F. J. Klein Bishop of Saskatoon. 9

Dear Graduates of 1961: It is with deep sincerity that I extend my congratulations to the graduating class of 1961. I am truly grateful that I was able to play a small part in your formation. My only hope now is that when graduation day is past you will not forget the things which St. Paul ' s School of Nursing has taught you and that you will always bring nursing skills to the sick, to the aged, to the infirm and to the helpless in the best possible way that you know how. With the modern advances in technology and with the general trend towards efficiency ' ' in all fields, there is danger that nursing and nurses can become more and more involved in methods and routines that draw them farther and farther away from the patients that they have in their care. Never forget that it is your privilege to deal directly with God ' s children when they are sick and in need of true human understanding. Let the virtue of charity be the fire which guides you in your work and may every patient be always for your another Christ. . . As long as you did it for one of these, the least of my brethern,you did it for me. (Matthew 35: 40) We are proud of you today ... let us be proud of you tomorrow. With sincere best wishes, Rev. Robert J. Ogle. It gives me great happiness to write greetings for your year book. It has been a source of more than ordinary gratification to me to have been appointed the Chaplain of St. Paul ' s Hospital. Now at first hand I am seeing each day the magnificent and inspiring work of the nurse. The task you have undertaken is a demanding one. Not only must you have knowledge and great technical skill but more you must have in you a fine and noble desire to help those who are ill. Over the past half year I have seen your unstinted devo¬ tion to your work. I have seen the comfort you have brought to people who are ill, some of them desperately ill. It is a thrilling thing to see. God bless you all i n your fine and noble Christlike work. I have seen the world thru which you will walk will be a better place because you have passed this way. Thomas P. Coyne, C. Ss.R. 8
