THE IGHTI ALE PLEDGE I solenmly pledge myself before Cod and in the presence of this assembly to pass my life in purity and to practice my profession faithfully. I will ali- stain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous, and will not take or knowingly administer any harm- ful drug. I will do all in my power to maintain and elevate the standard of my profession, and will hold in confidence all personal matters committed to my keeping and all family affairs coming to my knowl- edge in the practice of my calling. With loyalty will I endeavor to aid the physician in his work, and devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care.

DEDICATION Once upon a time a young woman put on her cap, lit a candle, and became a nurse. Thru the world she Walkedg among her dear friends and among strangers in distant lands. Every hand she touched became a little stron er a d g ', n every face that saw her candle be- came a little brighter. At last we were the ones to share that candle low K' dl g . in ed by years of experience, it burned even brighter as she led us along the road of kindness, love, and inner strength. Other faltering steps may not know the comfort of that light, but we will always remem- ber. Because we sincerely hope some of the glow has rubbed off on us, we dedicate this our storehouse of memories to the bearer of our guiding candle- DORIS E. PRYCE
