Good evening. It gives me great pleasure to introduce our nurse of the year, Miss Helen Taylor. Miss Taylor, hearty congratulations on your success. I’m very happy for you. You’ve been awarded this prize as a result of recommendations from your seeing your officers, your colleagues, and parents of the children. Here are some of their recommendations, efficient but patient, helpful and happy, strict but caring, humor and interested. These are the greatest recommendations any nurse could receive. Let me congratulate you again.
