Former` LuckNowite WarmIy. Welcomed
By Nurses And Officials Of Alma ;Mater
At Easter week Mrs. Wm-Mac-
Kenzie
m.Mac-Kenzie and her " daughter, 'Miss
Katherine :MacKenzie of ,Toronto
and formerly of •Lucknow, took
a trip ..to New York.
Nothing so;. very unusual about
that, were it : not that Mrs. Mac-
Kenzie is• within a couple of years
of attaining nonagenarian . status,.
and the pleasurers of the trip ; were
accentuated by a visit' to The
Mountainside Hospital at .Mont-'
clair, New Jersey, from which
Mrs. MacKenzie (then -Annie C.
Patterson) graduated in. 1906.
A special. tea, was arranged in
honour • of Mrs: MacKenzie and
Mr s . Theodore Reimer of the
'class:.of:1905 who was, visiting her
brother in New: York..'
The: ovation they' received was
overwhelming and. Mrs. Mac-
Kenzie said it was a memorable
visit which she .and Kay enjoyed
to, the fullest. Of, course there is.
now no sign of the • old • hospital
where Mrs. MacKenzie trained,
but as memories came surging
back she felt that the very, ground
was sacred,
Thehospital publication "Inside
Mountainside", carried the .follow-
ing article,, as well as an excell...
ent '.picture of Mrs. • MacKenzie,
Mrs,.; Reimer and Phyllis' Lovas,
president of .-the ' Akimnae '°Assoc-
iation...
The article read in. part:
It was a thrilling day for school
of nursing faculty and' students
alike, when Mrs.' Wm. MacKenzie
(Annie Patterson,—Cass of 1906)(
visited her old school and hospital.
She was last here in 1937. '
• After luncheon and a tour of
the hospital • there was a special
tea at the • School's . Residence
where another guest ' of honor
Mrs. Theodore Renner (class of
1905) joined the group.
"I felt almost like a character
out of a fairy tale sailing into an
enchanted : health'.',^ ;said ' Mrs .
MacKenzie, "to havea`lovely; cor_
sage pinned on; going back over.
the trail.:•of yesteryear, memories
came; surging back and I felt my
eyes a bit misty."
It was not easy to believe Mrs
MacKenzie's proudly`.acclaimed 88'
years • as she inspected Mountain-'
'side's innovations - admiring;
them all.
Given Special Tour
Of. Hospital . Wing
Mrs. Jessie Min - returned : to
her Alma.' Mater in Londonlast.
week for the reunion of St. Jos:-'
eph's Hospital training school for
nurses. Jessie is ' a graduate of
the class' of 1937. A feature of the
reunion was -a"'tour on Saturday of
the,. new wing' of, the hospital.
Handicapped by her •leg.
amputation, Jessie . couldn't
tour the wing, as yet unfinished, ' .
but. ,on Sunday she was given a
special wheel chair• inspection of
the building.•
St. Joseph graduates and . Sis-
ters held their reunion banquet 'at.
St. Marys ho$pitalwhen present-
ation awards were made to . this
year's graduates.
Mrs.: Allan received special re-
cognition • for , her courage in at-
tending the reunion. ' Jessie, whose
life hung in the balance'. for some
time, is now enjoying improved
health and gets along reasonably
well with her artificial limb.
She underwent ;rare' heart surg-
ery as the only hope of . survival
after recurring embolisms result-
ed in the necessity to. ` amputate :
a . leg. • /
