This year it comes from a long way back, but it is just as pertinent now as it was in the legendary past. On sending his son off to the Olympic Games, the father of Achilles admonished him “to strive always for excellence and to surpass all others.” While nursing is not a competitive affair, it calls for excellence at every moment of its application - as an art and as a science. For every patient, each action and relation¬ ship is a matter of importance because it has bearing on the outcome of his incapacity. Practically, it is not always possible to know which of the many activities of a nurse are effective or important. But we know that in dealing with the very complex human being, every interaction has its effect. The very nature of nursing requires that each nursing activity for every patient has the mark of excellence - not good or adequate or sufficient, but excellence. The under¬ standing and acceptance of this standard means the finest service for the patient and the ultimate satisfaction for the nurse. It costs very little more for the nurse, and it promises much more for nursing. Think on this simple admonition, and you may expect a fine career in nursing. My best wishes, L.O. Bradley, M.D. 4 ®0 (Ulass of 1963 My very best wishes, to each and every one of you, for happiness in the future. Yours sincerely, Margaret E. Cameron 5 president’s Message These have been wonderful years for all of us. At times we forget how fortunate we are in having a student organization. My thanks go out to all of you who have worked with and supported us and thereby increased the benefit of the Student Council for each of us. Our sincere thanks and gratitude go to Miss M.E. Cameron, our Director of Nursing, and Mrs. A. Price, our Recreational Supervisor for their constant interest and guidance.

Sometimes, not always, this function should be on a serious level as perhaps a message addressed to you of the senior class of our nursing school. No doubt as time hurries you to the customary annual ceremonies of graduation you feel some relief at the prospect beyond. You will find, however, that the past, no matter what difficulties and hard applications you have recently experienced, is always with you. You will often find occasion to recall your Alma Mater and look to the olden days with a thrill of appreciation. Thus, as Sir William Osier once said to such as you, it cannot be imagined all of you reaching the plain of Forgetfulness and bathing in the water of its river without a thought for the journey just completed. Certainly there will remain affection for your teachers and classmates who have been your guides and travelling companions. Undoubtedly there should persist some tender thoughts for the medical students and residents met in the daily rounds, clothed in white samite, mystic and wonderful, often lean and pale and leaden-eyed after the night’s work. Indeed it is hoped especially you may retain a fond memory of the older doctors. They always had their eyes on you even if you weren’t aware of it. In your professional training yours has been a vast experience for women so young. You have participated and assisted in the great progress medical science is making. Some of the innermost secrets of nature have been revealed and their meaning understood. In addition to being specialists in the technique of nursing, you have watched, as relatively few can do, the drama of humanity. You have beheld its disturbances and the trials and misfortunes of our friends. Equal¬ ly so you have observed their restoration and new hopes and the beginnings of life. By training and instinct you have given comfort and support to many in your care who came to the hospital in pain or despair. You have come to recognize the foibles and weaknesses of your fellow humans. You have learned understanding and sympathy as well as the practical role of the nurse. As you separate in all manner of directions, may you maintain your loyalty to your school and the best interests in one of the highest of callings. However difficult a problem be, if ap¬ proached in the right spirit, the profession of nursing provides opportunity for the exerciseof the best faculties of the mind. For those who do not for some reason pursue their profession their training, association and experiences will not be wasted. Such a background will find a valued place in the family and society. Whatever be your choice in the life after graduation may you have much pleasure and suc¬ cess with it. It should be so. You have become important people. 11 K.R. Trueman, M.D. IJaledtttorian’s Message Three short years have passed so quickly since we first walked through the doors of the School of Nursing, and yet we can hardly remember when we weren ' t a part of the Winnipeg General Hospital. On behalf of the graduating class of 1963 A and B, I would like to express our profound thanks to Miss Cameron and her Faculty, for having taught us with patience and understanding the knowledge that we require to attain the high goals and ideals set for us. To members of the graduating class I say that our friendships have left us a wealth of memories; memories that we shall cherish always. Keeping in mind that we have our School and ourselves to honor, may we give only our best to whatever the future holds for us. Respectfully submitted, Linda G.

We celebrated this change in our uniforms with a “tally-ho” on one of the coldest nights of the year. The next six months saw us starting many of our special postings. Although we were out of the classroom we still had a great deal of studying to do. Our socializing picked up in July. At this time we had a Tea Party for our class advisor, Miss Nugent. August 6th saw us at the half way mark. This called for another party. This time it took the shape of a beach party. In September we welcomed the class of ' 65. As they anxiously await the end of their “probie” period, we wait anxiously for the beginning of our senior year. We will soon have our sleeves down. We would like to extend good luck and our best wishes to the graduating classes of ’63. May all go well in whatever you endeavour.

After a couple of hours of swimming in chilly weather we went into the house for hamburgers, cokes and a singsong. September brought the beginning of our second year at W.G.H. To celebrate the arrival of our long-awaited chevrons and bar pins we went partying at the Westwood Inn. Those who at¬ tended will vouch that it was enjoyed by all. This year will prove to be an exciting one. Our class will spend the majority of its time in special postings — the C.H. Mat., Psycho., O.R., and the King George Hospital. What does it mean? It means hitting the books again, new experiences, new thrills and new frustrations. To the Graduating Class of 1963 we would like to wish you every success in your chosen endeavour.

He just can’t write! The surgeon’s hands are deft and skilled; The surgeon’s head is know-how filled. Yet why — since he’s so doggone bright — Cannot the surgeon learn to write? Dear sons of old Hippocrates, Pray hear a troubled Nurses pleas! Remember that the gals in white Have got to READ the stuff you write!

I do not glimpse the pity there, Or try to probe their depths for hopes or fears. Only upon his wondrous hands I gaze, And search my memory thro’ too fittingly To voice their loveliness. In still amaze, I bow before their quiet dignity. They make the crooked straight, and heal old sores, The blind to see; the war-torn clean and whole. Thro’ out the suffering world they touch the doors That open wide to life. The bitter bowl Of pain they sweeten, till the weary rest As tho’ the hands of Christ had served and blessed.

Pt tg deorge Compliments of NELL’S FLOWER SHOP 700 Notre Dame 56 Winnipeg, Manitoba “THE GEORGE” During a student nurses three years of basic education, we at the King George Hospital are fortunate to have her four weeks. Part of this time may be spent with the post-polio on B and F Flats although the main part of her experience with communicable diseases on G Flat. According to the dictionary a student is one who studies. The word study means meditation, research, examination, investigation, sketch, den, cartoon, investigate, weigh, consider, scru¬ tinize, ponder, memorize. During a students stay at the KGH she: MEDITATES upon the courage of the repos”; RESEARCHES case histories for information on communicable diseases. EXAMINES new admissions for mechanized dandruff.” INVESTIGATES the mechanical mysteries of respirators, rocking beds, cof-flators, etc. SKETCHES the polio patient on standing board; Visits the DEN of thieves 208 (they are very honest thieves); CARTOONS the biffy chair parade; PONDERS on the stupidity of parents that don’t have their children innoculated; CONSIDERS the problem of feeding a patient on a rocking bed; SCRUTINIZES a patient Frog Breathing” for a clue as to the method of doing it; And she MEMORIZES endless lists of incubation periods. All this to help her in nursing. The polio patients always welcome the gay young nurses. The names may be forgotten but the personality is remembered with pleasure. As one young polio patient said about the students, I don’t care how they work, I would like to put them on the shelf and look at them!” (Twas a male). But the student nurses do work hard as well as brighten and cheer the polio wards. May they continue to come to the George”. Betty Banister — (a patient).

Sometime when you feel your leaving Would leave an unfillable hole Just follow this simple instruction And see how it humbles your soul. Take a bucket and fill it with water Put your hand into it up to the wrist Pull it out and the hole that ' s remaining Is a measure of how you’ll be missed. You may splash all you please when you enter You can stir up water galore But stop it and you’ll find in a minute That it looks just the same as before. The moral of this quaint example Is do just the best you can Be proud of yourself, but remember There ' s no Indispensable Man. The sick are my patients, I shall not want I make them to lie down in warm blankets and feed them with a glass tube I restoreth their pulse, I teacheth the way of our hospital For their own sake, yea, though they sleep in plaster casts And in splints, they shall feel no pain. My hope and my smile shall comfort them. I prepare my hypos in the presence of the staff nurses, I anoint their backs with alcohol and wash their hands with warm water. Surely sorrows and groans shall be ministered to by me all the days of my life. And I will dwell in a uniform, forever. Compliments of PERTH DYE WORKS 482-4 Portage Avenue Winnipeg, Manitoba 59 T. EATON COMPANY Portage and Donald Winnipeg, Manitoba “THE CONQUEST” Four men rode together on the plains and hills and down, In the lead there came a red man, then a white, a black, a brown. By a twist of Fate they gathered near a roaring ruddy sea, And they swore to be blood brothers undearneath an olive tree. Tho’ each came from foreign castle yet each heart had one true ring, All were brave and loyal and steadfast, each could laugh and each could sing. But ' twas here the footsteps faltered and the mists blurred o’er the gaze, For a forked trail caused a sorrow and a parting of the ways. Then two there rode together to the left and shoddy side, While the others were compelled to take the rolling, wrathful tide. But before the trails were taken well a final stop and rest. Each of the four shed but one tear and hid it in his breast. And thus Fate by a mighty hand decreed the four to go, To roam the weary wasted world and to the sinners show That love of fellow man is strong and can be stronger still In a heart that’s full of cheer and peace And a bent determined will. All the four died strong and young for strutting out their show, One died by knife, one fire one flood, one fell when struck a blow. But the tragic song that echoed through the poor and sickly land, Was that each died not by alien death but common coloured hand. Now the four lie deep in sleep and never ride the more. But even though they died so brave, it has not closed the door. They did not live in vain, for by earth they are not pinned, The four ride still together on the billows of the wind.

POSNER GIRL AT THE WINDOW” There in silent solitude, standing at the pane, Stands a lonely figure, crying softly to the rain. As the setting sun sinks slowly to the waiting earth below. The solitary shadow cries for one who does not know. She is crying for a lost love in the chambers of her heart, She is crying for a lost love in a dream world far apart; For her innocence is brimming as a rosebud is with dew, And she cannot lift her spirits or ever smile anew. 0, The cruelness of a young man to see and never know, Of the tender heart that ' s waiting and the love she cannot show; So she stands with head bowed deeply as the sun with waning light.

A Student Nurse is a frightened young girl, with basin in hand approaching her first real patient. A Student Nurse is someone with a glow in her eyes as she recites the Nightingale Pledge Her new, white, Bible in her hand, and her first rose waiting for her in her room. A Student Nurse is an Intermediate with special trainings before her. She i s many things - At the C.H. she is a young woman with a child in her arms. At Psycho she becomes a Mother Confessor. At the Mat. she seems a helpmeet and a friend, to the excited new Mothers. She is a person with new knowledge and new responsibilities. She is — Knowledge with a flashlight in her hand, Sincerity with a smile on her face, and Hope with tears in her eyes. For three years she is a treasured person, Needed by so many people. She is - A shining example, to her young friends. Protected by her hospital, Teased by the Internes, and Loved by her patients. For three years she is all this and more. At the end of three years she is a young woman, reluctantly leaving the Residence and her many friends, with baggage in hand and a heavy heart. But these years will never be forgotten — The understanding instructors, the brave and not-so-brave patients. The parties and tete-a-tetes in the rooms after Evenings, and Her first Christmas Card from a grateful patient. And as she remembers, she is grateful to all those who made it possible for her, at last, to become a NURSE. -D.A. Buys.

Advisors, there were many To spur her on her way, And still the final choice was hers The choice she made that day. Three years have come and gone now With memories richly fraught, Since the day she first considered To be a nurse, or not. Joy and sorrow, times good and bad. Erase them, nothing can, For somewhere in their midst she learned To love her fellowman. And so the years have brought forth, The answer which she sought When long ago she pondered, To be a nurse, or not. LAST THOUGHTS I finish my training tomorrow And tonight I feel within, A mixture of laughter and sadness, I scarce know how to begin. Three years I worked and I waited For the day I would be on my own. And now as I stand on the threshold, I feel so small and alone. I think of dear friends and classmates With whom I shared sorrow and fun. Instructors, patients and doctors, Will they set with the evening sun? So before I leave you tomorrow Let me add one more parting line In your hearts keep a tiny rememberance Of our class in the sands of time. A.

Misses Cameron, Dick, Hamilton and Simo with Yearbook staff members greeted our guests. Tea and dainties were served by students. The auditorium was decorated along the Christmas theme with a larger-than-life- size Santa Claus on the stage and highlighted by a white cellophane Christmas tree on the tea table. The dolls in W.G.H. student uniform were made by students and as usual were a great attraction. Hard work and imagination produced a variety of handiwork which proved most popular. The Raffle, Parcel Post, Homecooking, Candy and Plants all we nt extremely well. A heartfelt thanks must go to parents, relatives, friends, dietary department, electrician, carpenter and especially Mrs. Price and Mrs. Gunn and her staff. Without the kind contributions, support and enthusiasm of many outside the student body, our Tea could never be attempted.

Our Brown Bean Bake for the Preclinical Students put ‘‘Nurses Christian Fellowship” into the swing of things for ’63. Approximately sixty students heartily participated in a few lively games followed by an informal sing-song around the campfire. As a chapter of the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, we take an active part in many functions with the university and medical students. Each month we meet for a “Fireside” to which a special guest speaker is invited. Following this everyone enjoys refreshments and a time of getting acquainted. A few of the N.C.F. girls accompanied by I.V.C.F. members travelled to Banff for the Christmas week. This trip was planned to provide an opportunity for students from different countries and of different races to meet and enjoy a time of informal fellowship together. Each year along with nurses from all the different hospitals we look forward with keen an¬ ticipation to our camp-life when we can relax and enjoy Bible study, companionship, sunbathing, outdoor activity and wonderful food. Every weekend at Star Lake Camp in the Fall and Pioneer Camp in the Spring gives us a real “lift” for the year. Representing different Church backgrounds, we find it most helpful in our life as a student nurse to look to God’s word. A varied program of Bible study, discussion, slides and guest speakers proves very stimulating to those who are interested. We would extend a warm invitation to have you with us. E.
