To the 1951 Graduates we say ‘‘Welcome indeed to the formidable army of Galt nurses." We look to you, with confidence, to always uphold the honor of your school, and may your memories remain green with glad recollections of the three years you spent with us. As you progress into varied and broader fields of endeavor we wish for you many years of happiness and a full share of satisfaction and contentment resulting from lives lived worthily and for the good of those with whom you may become associated.—HAPPY DAYS.

Three long years completed — we are now graduates — our future stretches before us—success is ours if we are willing to grasp it. However, there will always remain in our hearts the memories of our training days. It was not only the knowledge we gained as nurses, but the changes in character we underwent. Tolerance, I think, is the most outstanding. The ability to live with other people, respecting their beliefs, their belongings, and them as individuals is the hardest lesson of all. This is not only true in residence life but also in everyday dealings with patients. We are called upon to nurse people coming from every walk of life, each with an individual personality, without showing dislike or partiality. The many friends we have made and the camaraderie we have shared will always be very dear to each and every one of us. Our moments of joy and sorrow were always shared by someone who may be truly termed a friend. Sympathy and understanding have become an important part of our life. Our gratitude and thanks are extended to the supervisors and doctors who have so generously given their time and energy in an effort to fit us for our future life as a graduate nurse. Our success or failure is in our own hands. D. DAVIES, Editor.Piiflc Six N IG H T AND DAY tyatt '%o .

It is the climax of our three years in training at the Galt Hospital. As each of us look back, we can remember the day we chose nursing as our profession. Nursing to us then was like a book yet unopen. Now, as we leaf through the pages of this adventurous volume, many fond memories are recalled. . In the first few chapters lie the hidden fear and uncertainty of our preliminary period. Would we be able to do what was expected of us? Then, as capped students, we delved into the mystery of hospital duty. We felt we were a part of the hospital and necessary for its function. We were anxious to learn and eager to please. Though the road was rough and mostly uphill, we found an inner satisfaction in our work. Every day there was something new to learn, a goal to strive for. In each chapter there was a reward for our progress. A cape as a junior, a bar pin os an intermediate, and the much cherished white shoes and stockings as a senior. With graduation our book is drawing to a close. We feel that in becoming nurses, we have become better citizens. Our training has taught us the importance of tolerance, respect and obedience. We wish to thank Miss Tennant, our superintendent, and her capable staff, for making our story so interesting. We appreciate the guidance and patient understanding of our doctors and supervisors. To our mothers and fathers we would like to say, thanks for the encouragement and the pride you have shown us these past three years. As we are about to leave our training school, this volume stands as a guide- post for many sequels. Many fields are open to us. We 17 girls will choose that branch of nursing we are most attracted to, but our thoughts will often reminisce. We will say: "It was during our training days that we became aware of just how others really lived.” Our training taught us the true meaning of friendship. To the students who will be taking our places, we wish every success. We hope you will be as proud as we to say you are Galt Graduates.Pnge Sixteen N IG H T AND DAY MARGARET ADAMS A 1 J LI1 lo 0/ L u "Laugh and the world laughs with you."

Some of us hadn’t seen each other for four months with affiliation and holidays interferring. Sunday afternoon we attended a lovely tea held in our honor by Miss K. Koenen. a 1950 graduate. We played records, talked and were then served chicken salad, ice cream, angel cake and numerous other delicacies. Sunday evening the annual Baccalaureate service was held in Southminster church. Rev. Mercer’s sermon was indeed inspiring and one we shall never forget. A rehearsal following the service gave us a glimpse of what was in store for us Wednesday. Monday at 1:30 p.m. a luncheon given by Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Westbrook was enjoyed by all. At the close of the lovely dinner we were each pre sented with a small gift. Monday evening an informal party was held at the farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Kooy. No one suffered broken bones but I’m sure we all had many a bruise and aching muscle from the games of Prisoner’s Base and Run, Sheep, Run. Again, we were showered with delicious food. Tuesday morning a coffee party was held in our honor, given by the A.A.R.N. District No. 8. Tuesday evening, which was to be a quiet rest for the busy day ahead, turned out to be a clamor of excited girls. Wednesday afternoon the graduates and students of Galt Hospital entertained at a lawn party to which our parents were cordially invited. Beautiful corsages were given to our mothers. A buffet supper was served, following which we received white Bibles with our names engraved in gold. Everyone went home for a much needed rest before the big event, “Graduation,” but for a few of us there was no rest. At this time Miss Tennant caller! us to her room where we were informed of winning the various medals and scholarships. As Miss Adams so aptly put it, “Who can sleep now?”Page Tw e n ty N IG H T AND DAY Confusion reigned in the home as we all donned our crisp white uniforms and those cherished black bands. A city bus carried us to Southminster Church where we formed our lines and received bouquets of deep red roses given to us by the Doctors. Highlights of the evening were: "The Florence Nightingale Pledge”, the inspiring addresses given by Miss Tennant, our Superintendent, Dr. Arnold, Mr. Westbrook and Mayor Turcotte, followed by the presentation of pins and diplomas by Dr. "Peter” Campbell. Special awards were then announced and received. A reception was then held in the upper hall of the church by the Ladies Auxiliary of Galt Hospital. The remainder of the evening we spent with our families as a general late leave was granted. Thursday at 6:30 p.m. the annual banquet sponsored by the Galt Hospital Alumnae was held in the Marquis Hotel. Amidst the floral table settings we enjoyed a lovely dinner which was followed by a musical program. Addresses were given by Dr. F. M. Christie, Mrs. C. A. Palmer, and a "Toast to the Graduates” was given by Mrs. N. J. Breckenridge, to which I nervously responded. A presentation of our first membership cards was then made by Mrs. J. Blenner-Hassett. Another highlight of our wonderful week was the “Graduation Ball" held Friday night in the Civic Centre. Music was supplied by the Knights of Rhythm orchestra from Wrentham. I’m sure everyone in attendance would agree it was a night long to be remembered. After a gay night on the dance floor members of the graduating class and escorts retired to the home of Miss Lavcrne Cunning where an impromptu party was held. A delicious lunch was enjoyed amidst song and laughter In the wee hours of the morning, feeling very rested from the previous week, five carloads of fun- loving people (complete in jeans, sweaters and corsages) departed for a weekend at Waterton Lakes. Hiking, dancing, camp-cooking, horseback riding, picture-taking, wading and a wonderful afternoon at Red Rock Canyon filled our weekend to the brim. Returning Sunday evening we were tired, stiff and sunburned, but didn't regret a minute of it. Monday brought a new day and new excitement as we were entertained by the Haig Clinic that evening. Each of us was given a beautiful red rose complete with name card. A tour of the new building was extremely interesting and at this time Dr. Haig received seventeen applications for office nurses to commence work Oct. 4. 1951. We thought our festivities were over when we received an invitation to pick up a gift at the Capitol Furniture Store June 6th at 3 p.m. It turned out to be a lovely tea and the gift a charming "Lane” cedar chest. On behalf of the 1951 Graduates, I would like to extend our sincere thanks to Miss Tennant, our Doctors, Galt Hospital Alumnae. Galt Hospital Auxiliary, fellow students, relations and friends, and all those people who in any way helped to make this "Our Graduation” something to be cherished as a memory the rest of our lives.

We are only thankful for the trusting and unsuspecting Superiors. Our night nurses have their peculiarities. There’s “Muffy” who has a passion for mayonnaise — yes, even diabetic mayonnaise. One night she was found gracefully sprawled on the kitchen floor, completely smeared with it—“Crime does not pay.” Then there’s our athlete who keeps in shape by pursuing barefooted patients down 5th Avenue on cold winter nights. Some of the girls are “fresh air fiends" and have even been known to gracefully ascend the ladder from Ward *'E” to the roof to inhale the night air. How invigorating at 2 n.m. By day, life is just as gay—on duty and off. How she did it we would like to know—because one of the girls actually succeeded in managing three men at once for quite a while. My, was she confused! But she did have fun. We got our breaks, too! The aristocrat of the class (who sports a Mercury coupe) specializes in getting stuck in snowbanks so handsome young doctors can pull her out. "Keep her going. Dig.” We must have our daily, even though it does mean four in a bath tub. The Superintendent was not supposed to catch us, but she did. We even have sleep-walkers! What about the nurse who decided to take a walk at four in the morning and forgot she was in the top bunk. No broken bones, but ooohhh! what a noise. Iiobby is sure enthusiastic about her night work. Especially when she wakes her room-mate up in the middle of the day and asks them for a specimen. Maybe we should stop before we reveal any of our innermost secrets. Well we will!NIGHT AND DAY Page Twenty-three CLASS -1953 Jeanine Ball Helen Barg Margaret Burns Alberta Carter Jean Duncombe Nettie Ens Annie Fujimagari Clara Hall Evelyn Hern Genicc Hlady Clarnbelle Kemery June Kemper Elna Johansen Betty Martins Colleen Mitchell Irene Okamoto Cheslyn Piper Edith Sammons Marie Sandham Ruth Shield Barbara Stone Pamela Taylor Diane Ward Dorothy WestwongPage Twenty-iour NIGHT AND DAY Sandy’s Jewellery 322 5th St. S.

Make life pleasant for the sick in distress. Mind you they never get any rest Regardless of their stiff apron and dress. Is it because of their smile that's so sweet? Or because of their costumes meticulously neat? Or their loving personality? Oh. what a treat That makes them all so beautifully sweet. Oh. may these guiding angels so fair Take our hands and lead us on our way, Out of the obscure night into the golden down, Is all I pray. r)nitiatioK September 30 was the chosen date; pyjamas with added accessories was the enforced attire; straight hair the latest Galt fashion. After greeting Gramps at the hospital entrance, 26 bewildered probies were led around to one of the less known entrances at the back. With shoes in one hand, stockings in the other and blindfolds over our eyes, we were escorted through a dark and weird tunnel. With the contents of a spilled bedpan (which we hoped wasn’t the real McCoy) squishing through our toes, we experienced the thrill of touching the interesting inner organs of Felicity who had just had an autopsy. After meeting Oscar we once more donned our black shoes and stockings over our slimy feet and proceeded in groups to visit some professional people. Each probie was requested by a heartless Intermediate to ask a planned question. Some of these were: Question: What was your most embarrassing moment? Miss Montcith: When I was caught sliding down a bannister in my nightie. Question: How come you chose the Ministry with such broad shoulders? Rev. Mercer: I looked over all the jobs and discovered that it was the only one where a man could make a mess of things and not get fired. Question: What are the complications of a winking eye? Dr. Schindler: A twisted eyelid. Question: What makes your eyelashes curl? Dr. Strome: Not enough sleep. Question: What makes your little car go so fast? Dr. Tuttle: Gasoline. Question: Do your horses have as many complaints as your patients? Dr. Fowler: They don't talk back as often. Question: Do you consider the Eskimo greeting sanitary? Miss Tennant: Definitely not. Question: How much did the hospital save on lights since the signs were put up? Mr. Dutton: No estimate. The saving was all used up after the probationers came. We needed more light to guide them. Some groups were treated to refreshments on their visits and the group returning home first had the honor of making all the beds on the second floor of the Old Home. Tired probies returned to rooms devastated by malicious agents—namely Intermediates—and tried vainly to roll into short-sheeted beds. Nevertheless we wouldn't have missed a minute of it nor would we want to go through another minute of it.Page T h irty -tw o NIGHT AND DAY M Cl PI II1 B POS.

So it was on the night of January 23, that 24 preliminary students waited in the living room of the Nurse's Home, while the seniors and intermediates helped us put on our bibs. Then off we hustled to the Southminster Youth Centre. After entering the hall and taking our place in the front, we were welcomed into our new chosen profession by our Superintendent. Miss Tennant. This was followed by an impressive candle lighting ceremony where we were presented with our caps by our instructress, Miss Fallis. After the presentation we were assisted in putting them on by Miss Watson and Mrs. Michael, who gave each student a white candle as she made her way to the front. The lights were lowered and the hall was lit by a single candle. From this Florence Nightingale candle each girl lit her individual taper and when all were lit we received a prayer of dedication. Following this a musical program was presented under the direction of Miss D. Johnson. Mr. E. E. Dutton, hospital administrator, addressed us briefly, welcoming us to the Galt Hospital on behalf of the Board. A small memento was given us by Mr. R. R. Davidson, member of the Hospital Board. Following the program our parents were entertained at a reception at which the Galt Hospital Ladies' Auxiliary were hostess. To please is to serve; and so, far from being difficult to instruct while you amuse, it is difficult to do one thoroughly without the other. Mirth and a vivacious contentment are the very essence of the better kind of art—nursing or other. There is an idea among people that they should make their neighbours good. NO. One person I have to make good. MYSELF. My duty to my neighbour is more nearly expressed by saying. “I have to make him happy — if I may.’’ Adopted from Robert Louis Stevenson.Page T h irty -fo u r N IG H T AND DAY s4uy 'Dacfo'i 7* /4wtf 'Hun&e There is a famous poem by Robert Browning, “Andrea del Sarto", which Browning subtitled, “Called the Faultless Painter”. Others might have said. “The Perfect Painter,,' but Browning did not wish to put forth Andrea as a positive example of perfection—it was the negative aspect of his art which he emphasized. Later, in making Andrea compare himself to those other less—and yet more —perfect painters such as Raphael and Michael Angelo, he gives his reason for this in the line. "There burns a truer light of God in them,” and it is because, amongst nurses from Eve on — for all Mothers are nurses—and doctors, there has burned “this truer light of God” that in this day of shifting shoals of "isms” we should take stock of some of the threats that exist to the ways of our professions. There are two parts of Christ’s commission to His followers, “As ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils; freely ye have received, freely give.” The Christian basis of our two professions can be summed up in the words of St. Paul, "Ye are not your own”—that having been created by God each individual one of us is infinitely precious to Him and that we were created for a purpose which the shorter catechism of the Scottish Church reminds us is, “to glorify God and do His commandments". Today we find this special reverence for human life being challenged in many ways. The first of these is the result of the “humane” desire to relieve pain and suffering almost at any cost—and it is not so long ago that we were hearing of the trial of a doctor who was said to have deliberately terminated the life of a patient who was a great burden to herself and to her family from an incurable disease. This attitude has much with which to commend itself but there remains no doubt that it is in a large degree symptomatic of an increasingly selfish and less responsible attitude on the part of the public—of whom we are after all a part—towards the responsibilities of kith and kinship. It seems so foolish to keep alive the Mongol, the aged and the hopelessly cancerous. It is so expensive of money, time and energy. So Hitler thought, and Germany ended up with the hells of Belsen and Dachau. The end result of this doctrine if allowed to run its course, is that we lose our well defined criteria for distinguishing between right and wrong and take the way out which is easiest for us. It ends with relieving our pain and not the sufferers. The second challenge comes also from an attitude which is up to a point a praiseworthy one. It is the fruit of a greatly enhanced consciousness of our collective responsibility in promoting the health and material well-being of the race as a whole. Nurses and doctors have been prominent in fostering this attitude and it has resulted in such great potential, if not always actual, boons as universal education, workmen's compensation schemes and even the Blue Cross Plan. But people of this view are usually more interested in statistics—that is in the average —than in the individual man—and so many acts such as the liquidation of the insane and the movements of whole populations against their will become permissible—acts which may appear to benefit the race but which work wholly against the individual concerned. The third challenge comes in what is known as “scientific humanism” and as such makes a ready appeal to most people with a scientific training. As man’s spiritual value cannot be measured scientifically it is discarded. Man is to them, not God’s creation, but one of a species striving by scientific means to improve its lot and a particular life is of value only in accord with their idea of its social usefulness—a valuation which endures contempt for the weak, the useless or the conservative—just the attitude we find amongst the Soviets of today. Now the exponents of humanism and of much of the scientific social planning which goes on today seem to me to partake of the negative aspect of Andrea del Sarto’s perfection. They are concerned with man in the mass, with the easing of the masses’ path through what they are often pleased to call “Applied Christianity". All too often, however, this is not Christianity at all but a new religion which sees Jesus as a teacher, as an example, as a social planner and rejects the objective act of redemption wrought by God in the crucifixion and resurrection of his Son. Against this we who are in fact fulfilling, professionally, the second part of Christ’s commission, just as the clergyman professionally fulfils the first, have to show that we may have the desires and petitions of our hearts and of the hearts of all men fulfilled, as may be most expedient for us, for this proviso must never be forgotten, as, and even more, completely than by humanism just as Raphael’s pictures satisfy more than Andrea del Sarto's because in us there burns a “truer light of God.” Dr. G. S. Gray. Just throw a fit if you don’t like The diet of soup and custard, Just tell ’em you would like some food Say a big hot dog and mustard; And when they wake you up too soon. Just throw a tray or chair. And I bet it won’t be very long Till they throw you out of there.NIGHT AND DAY Pa&c T h irty -fiv e Scuttti&riutK “If you are looking for someone to take you to the San. just go to the man in the red jacket, he’ll take you there." How long our first ride over that winding highway seemed. Then, sweeping down the road towards the last bridge, the man in the red jacket, our taxi driver, turned to us anti exclaimed. “There’s the San.” Following the direction of his gaze we saw a confusion of lights against the darkened hills in the distance. But which of the many buildings was the Sanatorium? And in which one would we find a place to rest our weary heads? It was not West. East, North or South, but up three flights of stairs on the uppermost floor of the Administration Building where rooms were reserved for us. There we were welcomed by the girls from Lamont, Medicine Hat, and Calgary Holy Cross Hospital. The first instructions the following morning took the form of an introductory lecture and a demonstration of the “gown and mask” and “soap and water techniques. Then we were introduced to the "Sanatorium”, not confind to one building, but numerous buildings scattered here and there on the grounds. To each of these buildings or “Infirmaries" two of us were assigned to make our first acquaintance with the ravages of the tuberculosis “bug”. Thus began our experience in the fight against the same. This fight, or “taking the cure" ns it is called, complicated as it may seem, is simply rest, fresh air and good, wholesome food. So. we find resting in bed, many people from all walks of life and every age. There is a four-year-old boy who has contracted the disease from the father of the boy living upstairs. And there is a grandfather who has for years suffered from a bad cough and has recently been diagnosed as tuberculosis. But most of the beds are occupied by people in between these two extremes, who, like us, were in the flower of youth when their career was rudely interrupted by the Myobactorium Tuberculosis. This intruder, thus having gained entrance to the human body, is loathe to leave, and so we find its victims taking the cure one, two, five, or even twenty years. To many patients, the sanatorium has become a real home, and some stay after they have regained their health to help in the fight against the disease. To us, in our short stay so filled with new experiences, was a challenge to do everything in our power to help wipe out tuberculosis, and we asked ourselves the question, “What are you doing about it?” F.

The days seemed to drag until early one Sunday morning we boarded the train heading north. Luckily there was a taxi awaiting us when we arrived at the station, so. amid suitcases and boxes, we were driven to the hospital which lies two miles out of Ponoka proper. We were received cordially and were very soon seeking our fellow affiliates from Lamont exchanging our views on what the future would hold on the morrow. Bright and early the next morning our instructress, Miss Cook, took us on a tour of a portion of the hospital. For reasons plain to us now she neglected to take us through the Continued Treatment Wards, for with our knowledge we could easily have misinterpreted what we saw. We were then conducted to the Medical Library which became a familiar room to us, for we held the majority of our classes there. Then we had to appear intelligent as we were shown to the wards where we were to work, a term which we might add is used lightly around there. We soon learned that it is the nurses' duty to supervise activities more than participate in them, as well as conversing freely with the patients. This is done to a varying degree depending on the type of patient you are working with, for example: The patients on Female 2 are the senile patients requiring a great deal more aid, physically, and close observation than the patients on Female 8 “the admitting ward”. Here the patients do require watching and much psychotherapy can be done on the part of the nurse. If a patient is inclined to be seclusive, it is the nurse's duty to try and draw her out, either encouraging her to join in the ward activities of talking to you and merrily offering your interest and friendship. Although they may not acknowledge your friendship at the time they remember and appreciate it when they are well. After one or two weeks we were transferred to another ward, another situation; new people were the order of the day. We took our turn at nights and 3-11 ns well as spending some time in hydrotherapy, occupational therapy and insulin shock and electro-shock therapy. The one thing we clung to most securely was our sense of humor. Many times we were saved and damned, cursed and blessed in almost the same breath. We were ignored and worshipped; we were accused of possessing the devil and likened unto gods. One place where we could be assured of a good time was at the dances held for the patients. We nttended in uniform of course, and the patients just loved to dance with the nurses. Male and femalePage T h irty -e ig h t NIGHT AND DAY alike, good dancers, poor dancers and those that couldn’t dance nt all, everyone able attended. The patients were all well behaved and looked forward to the dances weeks ahead of time. Bingo and whist drives contributed to the variety of activities planned for the patients’ enjoyment. Ofter the patients took part in the program and even formed the orchestra for some of the dances. Soon our footsteps were turned to the Continued Treatment Wards. This is where those who haven't responded as readily to the treatment as others, are placed. Some may be there for the duration of their lives; others, many, we hope, will recover and go home. No case is considered hopeless! Here’s where we met people walking up and down, talking, singing, shouting or crying to themselves. This is where some would sit in one position, only moving for meals, and then often only with persuasion. We had our palms read, our fortunes told, our past as well as our future. Here's where we had a lot of fun and acquired a wealth of experience. It’s a great feeling of accomplishment to be accepted into the confidence of these patients. They have even learned to recognize what hospital you have come from. So. to the past Galt affiliates who have been received with open arms, thanks for establishing our good name, and to future affiliates, work hard to maintain it and make it better. 'panecu-eM &Ccu<i 5/ Three years ago today, you were new To all that nursing had in store for you, You entered in, with spirit young and brave With hopes some day of lives you’d help to save. The hours of class were long, but well spent, You studied hard, like it was ineunt. And then the floors, and hours of overtime You minded not, for to work is sublime. The months went by, your wisdom grew. Faith, kindness, understanding did too. Then when we were new, and you were well along You were our guiding strength when we did wrong. Your deeds of help to us, your words of hope and praise, Your helping hand in so many little ways, The way you smiled and laughed through darkest days Made hardest tasks a joy in every phase. Your goal is reached, your future bright In you we have faith to do what you think right. As you depart, to chosen fields, with aims begot, Good luck to you "Class 51” you’ll ne’er be forgot. AN INTERMEDIATE STUDENT. Cun *P, 7ft. Sauy By 2AN AND ELSIE (To Tunc of Wreck of No. 9) T’was a dark Sunday night When we rolled into sight At Ponoka, a small town way up north. The Royal cabman was there waiting a passenger for fare, And he drove us to good old P.M.H. Moore and Stockwcll had been in Before night’s noisy din Did fill us with tremors full of fear. A screech could be heard. And we thought it absurd That we'd come to hold such patients dear. We slept little that night, And when the sun rose up bright, On a tour of inspection we did go, Though interesting the class and the long corridors we’d pass, To be a probie our spirits were quite low. Our brave hearts stood still, And we knew we'd get our fill, Though the work proved to be much less profound, And we tried hard to find Things to occupy our mind, But we did a lot more of just settin' around. Afternoons and nights on eight Made us realize the wait From illness to healthy minds again. Fear and anguish rank high, And when we’d hear them sigh, We knew of the battle they must win. On the Chronic side as well We were often sent to (censored), Schiz, Cats, and Hebs were everywhere. Paranoids tearing their hair Maniacs getting in the way Were the order of any nurse’s day. With a tenr in our eye, We did bid them goodbye, We got out but the getting was darn slow Now we’re back at the Galt, Where activities never halt, Working on E and on good old A and B. Asking blessings at night That those we left behind up there might Ever enjoy the joy of mental health. Bill: You look sweet enough to eat. Jean: I do eat.

LethbridgeNIGHT AND DAY Pnfic F o rty -five 76e Ttunde What meaning lias the word nurse to you? Thanks to the educational qualities of the present day motion pictures the uninitiated depict nurses as the domineering heartless creature of the Snake Pit or as a glamorous woman laying cool hands on a fevered brow. Isn’t that a beautiful thought? Laying cool hands on fevered brows. It is. But an ice bag conserves time and produces better results. And yet another picture is conjured up by the starry- eyed teen-ager. To her the nurse is an angel in white ministering, in the midst of war's ravages, to the wounded and dying. And finally there are those who, as patients, have been intimately associated with nurses. These latter realize that nurses are, like themselves human beings, different only in that they appear to have an endless store of patience. Let me assure you. that for the most pnrt, nurses are not endowed with this virtue. The learning of it is a long and painful process and each one has her own Achille’s heel which is usually exposed at least once, during the course of a busy day. As has been mentioned before nurses are not super-human. They live, love, laugh, grumble and weep as do all other female creatures. Have you heard the phrase that nurses are hard-hearted? That statement is false. The nurse is as vulnerable to human suffering as anyone else. However, she has emotions. During the first few months of hospital life the student nurse gazes, with horror and pity, upon the ever-shifting scenes of human sufferings. The pain and suffering of her patients, the tears and grief of bereaved relatives are very, very real to her. But to complete her training she must learn to control her emotions. It is to this end she builds up a defensive mechanism of seeming indifference. Break through this indifference and see the compassion with which the nurse views suffering. What is nursing? Nursing is walking endless corridors, answering countless lights, attending to the humdrum necessities of the ill person, making numberless beds, rubbing hundreds of backs. Nursing is thrilling to the first lusty cry of the new born, soothing the frightened child, alleviating pain, (comforting the bereaved), watching the last flicker of life fade from a mortal soul. Nursing is the hundred and one things that can be done for humanity. Nursing runs the gamut of life, from the deepest depths to the sublimest heights.—D.M.Pa tic Forty-six N IG H T AND DAY GIGGLES FROIA THE. GALTNIGHT AND DAY Page Forty-seven Student /ictivitieb J. SMILEY, CLASS 52 The Christmas season was highlighted by a mixed party held in the Red Cross Rooms on December 21. The hall, festively decorated, was an appropriate scene for the gay-spirited students and their friends. The evening was spent in games, contests, skits and musical numbers which were greatly enjoyed by all. A delicious lunch was served by the students, after which the fun-packed evening was concluded with dancing. Perhaps the biggest event of the student year of “51” was the Valentine Dance held in the Civic Centre on Monday. February 12. This was the first project undertaken for some time to raise funds for our Student Union. A good crowd was in attendance to dance to the music supplied by die Knights of Rhythm orchestra. Mr. J. Perry, our very capable floor master, did not allow for one dull moment throughout the evening. During the dance a draw was made for a mantel radio. Proceeds from the dance were used to purchase n combination radio and record player. This is providing hours of enjoyment for the girls. Any evening at the home finds a group huddled around the record player listening to Mario Lanza or Bing Crosby’s latest recordings. Throughout the year, month by month, we student nurses have our little get-togethers in the form of gatherings at the home, bowling parties, scavenger hunts, to mention only a few. We find these are invaluable in strengthening the bond of comradeship amongst the girls. A typical gathering was the one hcltl in March sponsored by our Junior Class. All the eager scavengers gathered at the new home dressed for an evening’s hiking — and I mean hiking — if you’ve ever tried to cover the distance between St. Michael’s and the Galt in less than 10 minutes. With our official documents in hand enumerating approximately 20 weird items which had to be gathered from "who knows where”—we started off. These items ranged from horsehair to a piece of rhubarb squash, not to mention a red rose. Scenes along the way showed a Lethbridge Transit official in desperation trying to donate a bus to the cause after being bothered by the sixth group of scavengers patronizing his route. Jimmy's on 9th Ave. and 13th St. was seen emptying his till of 500 gold coins in un attempt to find a 1929 penny. A remark heard frequently, “Doesn't any restaurant in town keep lump sugar? or I wonder if Mrs. J. left that beautiful bouquet of roses outside G6—oh, oh. Without a doubt we had a wonderful time, and returned to the residence at 9:30 weary but still in good spirits. Of course, there was the tantalizing prospect of hot dogs and cocoa in the offing, so who wouldn't be in good spirits. What's this we heard—a knock at the door? Just a poor pedestrian in search of a rubber which was willingly contributed to our collection. Well, it really was fun—let’s have another one soon. A farewell party in honor of Dr. O'Meara was held at the home late in April. A program of Irish tunes and an amusing skit "The Mechanical Maid” was enjoyed by all. This short resume of activities shows that n nurse’s life is not by any means entirely spent within the walls of the hospital. The girls in residence feel our vocation is one of the most worthwhile and satisfying we could choose, and while it has its ups and downs, there are many happy times as well.Page Forty-eight N IG H T AND DAY CONGRATULATIONS . . .

The Alumnae commenced the fall activities with a pot-luck supper at the home of Mrs. W. R. Haig, which was very well attended. Mrs. C. Palmer, on behalf of the Alumnae, presented Mrs. Christensen, the retiring president, with a silver coffee spoon. The new executive was chosen, which consists of: Honorary Presidents—Miss C. Tennant and Mrs. L. Mclnnis. Honorary Vice-President—Mrs. A. E. Dupen. President—Mrs. Jean Palmer (Locatelli). First Vice-President — Mrs. Hazel Mnllinson (Watson). Second Vice-President—Mrs. Martha Clark (Conners). Treasurer—Mrs. Blenner-Hassett (Smith). Secretary—Mrs. Williams (Rollag). Recording Secretary—Mrs. Petrie (Cardwell). Social Convener—Mrs. Simmonds (Willis). Archivist—Mrs. Parker (Ireland). So far this year we have had two rummage sales, convened by Mrs. Stafford. A Valentine tea and pantry table guided by the capable hands of Mrs. Blenner-Hassett was held. Each was well supported, and added to the fund that was started to furnish a room in the new hospital. We appreciated and enjoyed our visit to ihe classroom, when the new equipment and curriculum was demonstrated and explained to us. Good luck, girls, you have chosen a very worthwhile profession. One we have certainly enjoyed. We are looking forward to seeing you all at our annual banquet which will be given in your honor. NORMA PARKER. Archivist. Tt. /i* (fattv&itcMt Thanks to you all, fellow students for electing me as your delegate to the C.N.A. Convention last June. Representing the Galt School of Nursing was really a pleasure and a privilege. The Student Nurses’ Association of British Columbia had a “method in their madness" when they started the convention off with a banquet. There, on the grounds of Vancouver we met students from nearly every province — 76 students in all were registered. Miss Kerr, the organizer of the Students' Work Conference, immediately won our hearts with her cheerful, industrious manner. Divided into three groups we began discussing and solving the following problems: 1. The difficulties encountered in student nurse recruitment programs. 2. The value of Student Government in Schools of Nursing. 3. The purpose and responsibility of a Provincial Student Nurses' Association. The first group tried to discover why Nursing Schools get such a small percentage of the high school graduates. We decided that high school girls should be made acquainted with nursing both on duty and off duty. The group discussing student government considered school spirit as the highlight, also many other important factors that constitute a good student government. The purpose and responsibility of the Provincial Student Nurses' Association was discussed and led up to endorsing the developing of a Student Nurses’ Association under the direction of each Provincial Registered Nurses' Association. Our outlook on nursing problems was broadened as we attended this meeting with students from various schools across Canada. How little it takes to show your interest and co-operation in order to develop loyalty and confidence in your nursing school. Student nurses, let's begin and end our training with a view to preparing ourselves to function as strong professional people and to strengthen our organization that we may serve better.
