The second weekend in September was an exciting climax for seventeen young ladies whose aim is "To make man whole in body and soul" with the motto of walking "In Christ's steps". They were guided toward this victorious seventh annual commencement exercise by their class president, Lorraine Djkowich; vice-president, Cheryl Lace11; secretary- treasurer, Shirley Wiens; pastorette, Marjorie Holm; and class sponsors, Mr. and Mrs. George Harrison. In the Consecration Service on Friday evening, Pastor Edward Skoretz challenged the class with the question "Why have you arrived?" He pointed out that it should not be merely for a job, creature comfort, fugitive pleasures, compliance with the status quo and old age security, but to interpret to this generation the Christian's dynamic of 1st Corinthians 13, which Paul declares is the "more excellent way." The spiritual determina- tion of class members was pronounced by Pastorette Marjorie Holm. The Sabbath School programme, conducted by the graduating class, was chaired by Mrs. Meta Peet, and Arthur Cannon, instructor in the School of Nursing taught the lesson. Speaking of "Lifelines" in the Baccalaureate address, Elder J. C. Reynolds of Oshawa stated that today's graduates may well serve to represent, as well as to become the lifeline Phyllis Gilbert was presented an award for of God through Jesus Christ. high scholarship. On Saturday night the graduates delighted their friends and relatives with a variety programme of music, presentation of "The Lighted Lamp, 1968" to Miss Patricia Okimi, former Director of the School of Nursing to whom it was dedicated, and a prophetic picture concerning the future of class members. Dr. William Loveless, pastor of Sligo Church, Washington, D.C., was commencement speaker. His address, "What Christians Hope For in Society," stressed the importance of application to learning. Information which is self-learned is of highest value, he said, as it is only when beliefs are translated into a helping relationship that they formulate a worthwhile experience. His conclusion was that the greatest problems that confront the world concern the basic qualities of caring and sharing. Miss Myrna Huenergardt, Director of the School of Nursing, presented diplomas, while Mrs. Florence Dunbar-Vella, assistant director, presented the pins. Miss Patricia Okimi, former director who now serves as associate professor in the nursing programme at Atlantic Union College, was present to grant the awards. Presentation of a $500 Nursing Scholarship was made to Lorraine Djkowich by Mrs. Harriett Flavelle, president of the Women's Auxiliary of the North York Branson Hospital. This is an annual presentation from the Women's Auxiliary which was awarded last year by the late Mrs. Jessie McCrae, former president, who passed away in April of this year. The scholarship has now been named the Jessie McCrae Nursing Scholarship in her honour. The valedictorian address, by Lorraine Djkowich, is printed in part following this article. Graduation weekend was a fitting time of farewell to Dr. Erwin Crawford, chief of the Branson Hospital Medical Staff. Administrator George Rodgers expressed the regret of all our believers at the departure of this faithful friend and supporter of denominational interests in Branson Hospital. Dr. Crawford has been with the Branson since its formation and founding in 1957, and two of his daughters have attended the School of Nursing, Maxine Suiter, being presented her diploma by the elder one being a graduate in the 1967 Class. The good wishes of all in this area Director Myrna Huenergardt, received awards for Clinical Proficiency and Medical-Surgical and the invocation of God's blessings go with him and his family as he moves to Loma Nursing.

Valedictory Address By Lorraine Djkowich We, the Class of 1968, can be compared to a rosebush, with each class member being an individual rose on this bush. As a rosebush grows and develops from a mere seed, so our training has matured and developed us. As this same plant requires the presence and assistance of the soil, the fertilization, the moisture, and most important, the sun, so we would not have succeeded in reaching this point without the undying aid of our parents, the faculty, our friends, and most important, God's guidance. The soil is parent of the rose. It stems from the earth and here its firmly planted roots have made it what it is today. The same relationship exists between our parents and Lorraine Djkowich, valedictorian, won an ourselves. They have been behind us from the very beginning, urging us on when we award for highest scholarship and the $500 have been tempted to "give up." They have guided us through our difficult times and Jessie McCrae Nursing Scholarship. have patiently prayed. They have shared our joys and made them brighter. It is their understanding love and patient guidance that has brought us to this memorable occasion. Our roots were planted at home and it is our parents who have strived to strengthen them. Now that we have been gone from home for several years, we are beginning to realize how many of our achievements are due to the faithful guiding hands of our mothers and fathers. For your guidance, concern, understanding, patience and love, we thank you. For all you have given us, dear parents, we thank you. As fertilization increases the rate of growth of a rosebush, so you, the Faculty, have contributed to our growth. For not only have you furnished the "tools of knowledge" but you have given of yourselves. For your smile, your words of encouragement, for the "little extras," we thank you. We cannot help feeling a little proud to be graduates of the Branson Hospital School of Nursing. To our dear friends we are very much indebted. They have meant a great deal to us since they have shared moments that will be lasting memories. They are the raindrops that supply moisture to the rose. Many activities have enlightened hours with laughter and memories. Though some of us must leave these friends and activities behind, we will undoubtedly gain new ones, yet the former will always hold a tender place in our hearts. Just as the penetrating rays of sunlight enhance the rosebush and give it life and stamina, thus our attitudes, ambitions, morals, philosophies, and virtues are engendered by guiding principles directed by God. We owe much to our Father in Heaven who has guided our lives. He alone knows the future and the ways that we will go. And of Him we humbly ask that we might continue to follow in the pattern He has set for us. Fellow graduates, we have merely climbed one step on our ladder of life and it is up to us to progress. We cannot, and must not expect others to climb these steps for us. With the help of the soil—our parents, fertilization—our instructors, moisture—our friends, and rays of sunlight—God's love and guidance, we can flourish and become fully blos- somed roses of that rosebush, but the difference lies in that, as the petals soon wither Emily Spencer is awarded for Professional and die, we can remain in full bloom through individual effort and with divine aid.

The baptism was conducted by five ministers of the Alberta Conference. Each minister baptized those for whom they had a part in studying and labour- ing. Before the baptism Elder Carl Wessman went over the baptismal vows with those to be baptized. A rose was given to each new member after the ceremony.

Conclusion of Andrews Field School of Evangelism — L. R. KRENZLER

The attendance at the field school reached a high of nearly 800. It was gratifying to see anywhere from 60 to 200 non-Adventist friends attending every night. All the members of the team put in many hours of visitation making many calls every day. They also picked up many of the people they visited and brought them to the meetings. This contributed very much to the success of the meetings.

When the field school of evange- lism ended July 6, fifty-two were bap- tized. The Lord blessed Pastor George Knowles' ministry as he directed the crusade. The Lord's blessing was also with the church, the local pastors and the students from Andrews Un- iversity and Walla Walla College. The British Columbia Conference Executive Committee acted on the suggestion that two students remain for the summer to follow up the many interests.
