ST. JOSEPH S SCHOOL OF NURSING GUELPH
LEARNING RESOURCE CENTRE DOOM CAMPUS CONESTOGA COLLEGE A career for young men that is gaining
in popularity is that of male nurse. No
longer strictly a female occupation, more
males are enrolling each year in schools
of nursing across the country. Four
young men seen pursuing their studies
at St. Joseph’s Hospital are Bruce Peat,
student interne; Keith Carson, First-
year nursing; Jim Weatherston, student
interne; and Bob Pollock, in first-year
nursing.
NURSES HIT THE PRESS
Five Jamaican girls got their first glimpse of Ontario at the Department of the Provincial Secretary and Citizenship
reception centre at Malton Airport. About to embark on a two year training stint in Ontario schools, the girls will
study at the Orillia Soldiers Memorial Hospital School of Nursing, at St. Joseph’s Hospital School of Nursing in
Guelph, and at the Ryerson Polytechnical Institute course of nursing Toronto. The girls are the second group to
arrive in Ontario under an international experimental program sponsored by the Canadian-Jamaican Partnership
Foundation since 1970. Left to Right: Mrs. Margaret Mackenzie, head of Citizenship Branch Reception Services,

Dear Students,
As life goes its way, each man discovers something which he treasures. Of all the realities man has come upon in his historical pilgrimage no reality has been deemed more worth preserving than life. Life is preserved when men are faithful to themselves, to others and to life’s
Source.
Faithfulness to yourself can mean developing your talents so that your life is what God intended it to be.
Faithfulness to others can be expressed by living in peace, love and compassion with all. Realize always that it is very difficult to know any man, for our judg- ments of him are always in relationship to our own interests.
Faithfulness to God will not occur if He is found on the border of human experience. He must be the centre of it. This can only happen if you communicate to Him through prayer.
May such faithfulness develop as you continue to acquaint yourself with the Profession of Nursing. A
Christian Nursing Education has been available to you.
Use it faithfully.
May God bless you Graduates and Students of
1972.

Dear Graduates:
Each year students graduate from schools of nursing and begin their profession of caring for the sick. They assist people into the world at their birth, care for them during their illnesses, and remain with them at their death. What makes them choose this profession, and what motivates and strengthens them to live it each day? An awareness of why they are nursing will enable them to demonstrate the truth they have discovered and help them achieve their goal more fully.
The role of the nurse is to help patients find peace and security through the orientation to life and death.
She does this by continually deepening her own faith in, and conviction of God’s personal love for her. By helping patients, through strong nurse-patient relationships, they reach the same awareness of God’s love for them.
The nurse, by servicing her fellowmen through her work, feels that she gains much personal benefit. In this way, they help her reach her destiny of union with all men in Christ. She believes with Chardin that “ man can never reach the blazing center of the universe simply by living more and more for himself but by assisting people in finding that which is more important to them - eternal happiness”.
In this, the fulfillment of the role of the nurse is complete.
God Bless You!
Sister M. Paula, Executive Director.
9 HOUSEKEEPING STAFF A LOVELY LIGHT
A candle’s but a simple thing:
It starts with just a piece of string,
Yet dipped and dipped with patient hand
It gathers wax upon the strand.
Until complete and snowy white
It gives at last a lovely light.
Life seems so like that bit of string:
Each deed we do a simple thing.
Yet day by day if on life’s strand
We work with patient heart and hand.
It gathers joy, makes dark days bright,
And gives at last a lovely light.

Run quickly to where the throb of life is fast And meet new minds, new ways, new lives Else feeling dies and thought grows stale.
Then may illusions disappear Like mist before the morning sun
Know life and the cosmos will be yours And you will be the cosmos
Appreciate the delicate rose and the warming sun The sun’s temper and the storm’s rage For these are external We are not.

Yet still three quarters left to live
Reap from life all you can

J. Young VALEDICTORY ADDRESS
- Elaine Antaya
A statement by Benjamin Disraeli, noted 19th Century English
stateman and writer, that “the secret of success is constancy to purpose”
could very well apply to the members of this graduating class.
Change from ignorance to knowledge, from clumsiness to skill, is
a delightful experience. We have been fortunate to have had an opportunity
for an education that has brought us both knowledge and skill.
Society is crippled when the talents of a substantial portion of its
members are not effectively utilized. It is generally agreed that women
account for the largest pool of untapped resources in our country.
Some people are convinced that the world desperately needs the
unique contribution of the feminine potential in order to restore a
sense of balance ... to give a mechanized world what it seems so
hungry for . . . the human qualities on which the spirit is nourished.
It is therefore within the power of women to be effective as persons, especially in their realm of influence which is the spiritual and the moral.
The mature woman in her honesty, can draw out the best in people. She can make a unique contribution towards the humanization of an impersonal suffocating world.
Over the years, some educational systems, although emphasizing the development of the human person, have chosen to serve particular social segments rather than the cause of humanity.
And so, despite brilliant inventions and technical skills, there has been a failure to produce whole men and women to whom life and service have the approval of heart and conscience and therefore become meaningful.
Since the prime purpose of education is the making of men, it is impossible to make men without giving him a purpose for being a man.
The Christian nurse has a purpose which is concern for, goodwill towards and taking an interest in others.
Within the reach of every nurse worthy of her vocation is the apostolate of good example, wherever she is and whatever she does.
To have a complete understanding of nursing, it is imperative that we should view it in its perfect perspective
- as a synthesis of moral activity, social service, science, art, a profession, with each component contributing its very best. We realize that with the character of the nurse rises or falls the esteem for nursing.
Nursing as a moral activity, is no easy task. It involves several obligations, which its graduates owe to their school of nursing, to the institution which utilizes their services, to persons in authority in such institutions, and to the patients they are to serve. We have been prepared to meet these obligations, but look forward to encourage- ment and continued assistance from our co-workers in the health field.
To-day we pause to reflect upon aspects of our womanhood, and our Christian nursing education. We have much to be thankful for, to our parents, our teachers and all who provided the environment where our education took place.
May we always look upon our nursing education as one to which we brought self-sacrifice and self-denial.
Where these combined to produce a splendid, radiant Christian womanhood.
May God bless us and give us direction to this quotation from Alice in Wonderland, “When Alice asked,
‘Would you tell me please which way 1 ought to walk from here?’ The Cheshire Cat replied: ‘That depends on ” where you want to get to.’
Thank you

AMBITION
I shall go forward,
Confident and unafraid.
Not blindly though the way may seem obscure,
God’s love will light each step, dispel the mist,
I shall go forward in His strength.
My part to follow, God’s to lead the way.
I shall go onward, trustingly and glad;
His love protects, surrounds me, fills my every need.
I shall not listen to the whispering of doubt,
Nor thunderings of fear.
The “still, small voice” shall comfort me,
And bring me calmness and serenity.
The way unfolds,
God’s hand is leading me,
I shall go forward
Confident and unafraid.

Isla Paschal Richardson VALEDICTORY ADDRESS
(excerpts)
Consider for a moment how man is viewed in to- day’s modern world. His body is a thing studied in anatomy. His mind is a thing studied in psychology.
Economics studies him as a thing; a cog in industry and in sociology he is studied as an organism living within an environment. Truly then modern man’s urgent need is that there must be a place where he is taken seriously as a person and not judged or considered only according to utilitarian norms.
We who graduate this afternoon, have been given an education. We have studied about man as a whole person. Because of our education and experiences we have a responsiblity and a duty to take our place within our profession and society and use all to good effect. We accept this challenge.
We stand on the threshold of a new experience, in a country where limitations on opportunity are Valedictorian practically non existent. As members of the Nursing Helen Marie Wilk
Profession we are in an ideal position to use our God given talents and virtues for the benefit of others. We are in a unique position to put into practice a personal- istic philosophy that shows concern for the uniqueness of the individual.
For the encouragement we need to fulfill our responsibilities, let us remember the words of King
George VI to the English people:
“And I said to the man who stood at the gate of
the year: ‘Give me a light that I may tread
softly into the unknown!’ And he replied, ‘Go
out into the darkness and put your hand into the
hand of God. That shall be to you better than
light and safer than a known way’!” Marg Hallahan

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE It has been a pleasure to have been associated with the Student’s Council during my three years at St. Joseph’s School of Nursing- and an honour to be the president for the past year. During our Nursing education we have encountered many challenges, experienced disappointments, sadness and, - at the same time - joy and self-development. We have realized that the care of Nursing is Christian love for all people, and through this have learned compassion, understanding and unselfishness. We are grateful to our teachers who have helped us achieve our goal. We each go our own different ways with happy memories and lasting friendships. I wish success and happiness to all - and extend my grateful thanks and appreciation for your support and co-operation throughout my year of office. Sybel Russell (President) 77 LIFE AT S' 78 ST.
