•Bear dradwaies of ’63 Each year, after your Yearbook representa¬ tive calls, I begin a search for a sentence or a thought, to serve as a text for this message. 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

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. As always, there are those of us who are leaving and those who will be continuing at W.G.H. Good luck and best wishes to all.
