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 !
