PAGE SIX THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, JUNE 5, 194: S----e pm a me Mrs. McLaughlin, Address Nurses' Soft candle glow illuminated the 'faces of the eighteen young women who comprised the graduating class of the Oshawa General Hospital, as they listened with rapt atten- tion while Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin spoke to them of their future. The occasion wus the banquet given in their honor by the Nurses Alum- nae Association in the Picadilly Room of the Hotel Genosha last evening. Mrs. McLaughlin express- ed her pleasure at being present, saying that since 1913, when the first graduating class of the Osh- awa General Hospital had been honored at a dinner, she had missed only a few dinners. Mrs. sMcLaughlin compared the lives of the young nurses to that of the pattern woven in lace. Some threads were long and strong, she said while others were short and weak, but each one necessary to the design. Thus she urged that they be not discouraged if they are unable to reach the goal they had set for themselves. The speaker went on to point out that their graduation marked a momentous change in their lives and she hoped there would be a continuous development of the 5 P's; Poise, Patience, Power, Per- severance and Policy. Mrs. Mc- Laughlin felt that the best nurse was one who brought comfort and happiness to her patient and that the attitude which they developed in their everyday work was most important. "There are various reasons for becoming a nurse," said the spea- ker, "But the most important is the desire to help people." She went on to point out that there were three fields of nursing open to women today: First the nurse's aide course, which has been spon- sored by the Foronto Department of Health; second, the registered nurse, and last the institutional nurse who trains as a teacher. Mrs. McLaughlin strongly advised 'that the young graduates keep in touch with one another, telling of her own experience of a continued letter system which she and the other seven students in her gra- duating class at Normal School, had kept up over the years. "Keep in touch with each other," she said, "And you will be happier, stronger and better girls." In conclusion Mrs. McLaughlin gave them an acrostic, using the first letters of the Oshawa General Hospital: O--Obedience: obedience of the laws and the rules of the hospital. G--Goodness: in oneself and in others. H--Health and hap- piness. She stressed that they must love their work, ending with the old philosophy: "Five things ob- serve with care, to whom you speak, and how, when, why and where." Mrs. F. L. Mason, president of the Alumnae Association and chair- man for the evening, prior to in- troducing the speaker, brought greetings to the 'graduating class, saying that this was the 36th such occasion. She pointed out that the purpose of the Association was to bring mutual benefit, and improve- , ment to the professional work. She hoped that this occasion would be & pleasant memory for the girls and that in later years they would help to make an equally pleasant evening for future graduating classes. The toast to the 1948 graduating .class was proposed by Miss Shirley Porter and was replied to by Miss Jean Meyers, Mrs. Mason introduced those seat- ed at the head table as follows: Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin, Miss Mary Bourne, Superintendent of Nurses at the Oshawa General Hospital; Miss Mary Curtis, assistant super- intendant; and the executive mem- bers of the Nurses Alumnae Asso- | ciation; Miss Claire Glass, social convener; Miss Dorothy Paul, as- sistant program convener; Miss Al- vina Shaan, convener of the pro- gram committee; Mrs. Cyril Chese- borough, treasurer(?); Mrs. Walter Spence, recording secretary; Miss Mary Wilkins, vice-president; Miss Beth Gordon, assistant program convener; Miss Doris Collins, cor- responding secretary; Miss Patricia Pearce, editor of the news bulletin and representative to the Canadian Nurse magazine. The tables were attractive with low bowls of varicolored sweet peas and white carnations. Down the centre of the tables were streamers of red and. gold and at intervals, red and gold lighted candles in crystal holders. Miss Patricia Pearce introduced the members of the graduating class who were lovely in their gowns of pastel shades and of white. The eighteen girls included six Oshawa girls: the Misses Aud- Miss Bourne Graduating Class rey Cook, Muriel Gifford, Olga Krawec, Joyce Long, Olga Poloz and Lorna Tripp. The others in the class were: Miss Faye Gilroy, Enniskillen; Miss Bernice Lee and Miss Patricia Walters, of Whitby; Miss Eileen Carson, Brooklin, Miss Joyce Rice and Miss Mary Carr of Toronto; Miss Mary Flintoff, and Miss Jean Meyers of Bellville; Miss Mavis Kerry, Port Perry; Miss Leila Taylor, Roseneath; Miss Erla Wat- son, Goodwood, and Miss Elizabeth Peters, Allensville, Mrs. Mason introduced the for- mer graduates of the Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital since 1913, asking each to stand as the year she gra- duated was announced. Miss Mary Wilkins proposed the toast to the Alma Mater and to this Miss Bourne replied. In her reply Miss Bourne com- pared the lives of the young gra- duates to a garden. Like a garden, the lives of these young women she pointed out were like a gar- den that needed care, thought and planning. "Simplicity in design and good construction are not enough," she said, "without the enhance- ment of appropriate planting. The primary motive for entering nursing school, said Miss Bourne, was to acquire skill in soothing those . who suffer, and the glow of satisfaction at realizing that they had learned this art, was likened to discovering that a tiny plant which had taken much care had taken root and was beginning to grow. Opportunities in many fields were given the young trainees by the head nurses, the doctors, and the supervisors, while outlined in- struction was also given, because all were anxious to see the little plant grow. But all the attention cannot be given to one plant, stated the speaker, or the garden would be- come barren, and so other flowers and plants are cared for. There will be the ever growing realiza- tion that the field of nursing is wider than the little garden plant- ed during the three years and since it charges constantly, Miss Bourne continued, they would be called upuon to choose special in- terests and decide on the wisest course. Loyalty to their chosen profession is of the utmost importance, and she pointed out that the following day would test that loyalty, since only through personal effort and participation in nursing activities can the "garden" be kept beautiful. Miss Bourne posed the question. Has the spirit of nursing kept. pace with the advancement of the medi- cal equipment and knowledge? This can only be achieved, she said, if the nurse continues to pioneer and to nurse with her heart as well as her hands. "Our profession, like the human body," said the speaker, drawing to a conclusion, "cannot live without a soul and unless we consider the ministering to the sick our highest privilege and unless we hold to a high purpose with stead- fastness through times of discour- agement we will 'have turned away from the most beautiful aspect: that which should distinguish at all times, our professional service." Miss Bourne concluded with the Latin motto "Nuquam lux deficiat" which translated means, May the light never fail. Miss Ann Scott presented . life memberships to two members: Mrs. H. R. Archer and Mss McLaren both of Fort Perry. : Soloist for the evening was Miss Leah Garrow, who accompanied at the piano by Miss Marilyn Davies, sang, Wishes by Gertrudde Sans Souci, and A Brown Bird Singing by Haydn Wood.
