Classst of 1964- On a cold, bleak day in the first week of February, 1964A greeted the Nurses Residence. Our Big Sisters were a great help that first day, helping with our bags and parcels, and showing us the ropes. We were kept busy with a tea in our honour that after¬ noon with our parents and instructors present, and a party in the T.V. lounge that night sponsored by our Big Sisters. Next day classes started and with them came the election of President, Carole Worboys; Vice-President, Barbara Faiers; Secretary, Brenda Witwicki; Social Representa¬ tive, Sandra Johnson. The next five months were filled with socializing, eating, gossiping, dating, and of course studying. At last we got our long-awaited cuffs. This was celebrated by a buffet supper followed by a sing-song with all our instructors present. The next night we held a weiner roast and that was a night long to be remembered. On Sept. 5, 1961, we welcomed 64B. All 120 of them. We were no longer Probies . With the new class came Junior Block of classes, and for us, more studying. We are now impatiently waiting for our mid-term exams while we are busily growing plants, sewing, and sending letters for the Yearbook Tea. We would like to thank our Big Sisters for all their help and congratulate them, wishing them all the best for the future.

Class of 1964-p On September 5, 1961, one hundred and twenty girls com¬ posing the class of 1964B entered the Winnipeg General Hospital School of Nursing. The first day of our intended three year stay is one that the class will not soon forget. After a bustling morning of locating our rooms and getting settled, we spent an enjoyable afternoon at a tea giv¬ en in our honour by the W.G.H. School of Nursing. That evening our Big Sisters gave us a wonderful party after which we were noisily initiated by the class of 63B and 64A. The second party held in our honour was sponsored by the class of ’64A. They presented to us various skits depicting our future as Student Nurses. Since then we have settled into the routine of classes and have been trying to match our class¬ mate ' s names with faces, only to have to become accustomed to calling one another Miss in the ward situation. We were orientated to wards after six hectic weeks of study. With shaking knees and perspiring hands we suddenly found ourselves talking easily with our first patient! Since that memorable first day on wards, we have had many more ‘firsts’; for example our first empty bed; bed bath; and bed pan. And this is only the beginning! Helping us from the beginning and even before we entered the hospital last Sept., our Big Sisters have been our greatest source of inspiration. Having Big Sisters in an institution as vast as the Winnipeg General Hospital is a wonderful blessing. They build up our spirits when we’re down and encour¬ age us in our studying. Their greatest contribution is the way in which they gave us the feeling of being part of the largp number of hospital personnel and of being welcome in their home. We also wish to extend a large thank you to all our instructors who have done so much to help us through the first hard days of our nursing education. Sri !
