Your interest in our well-being, our many social activities, our problems, and in ourselves has endeared you to all of us. As director of our extra-curricular activities, you have shown sympathy and understand¬ ing. We ' d like to say, Thank you. Your high principles have inculcated in us a desire to pass our lives in purity and practice our profession faithfully. We dedicate to you our 1945 CAPS AND CAPES. With love and affection, THE SENIOR CLASS, 1945 I am solemnly aware of the obligation I assume toward my country and toward my chosen profession; I will follow faithfully the teachings of my instructors and the guidance of the physicians with whom I work; I will hold in trust the finest traditions of nursing and the spirit of the Corps; I will keep my body strong, my mind alert, and my heart steadfast; I will be kind, tolerant and understanding; Above all, I will dedicate myself now and forever to the triumph of life over death; As a Cadet Nurse I pledge to my country my service in essential nursing for the duration of the war.

DR. O. P. DALY, DIRECTOR OF CHARITY HOSPITAL THE EXECUTIVE It’s a familiar thing to see Dr. Daly in the corridors of the hospital. Though the past years ' have been trying ones, Dr. Daly and his assistant, Dr. Roscoe Pullen, have been untiring in their efforts toward excellent supervision. Even in this wartime accelerated program, Dr. Daly has found the time to show personal interest in our nursing school and its nurses. This interest has carried him into the hearts of the faculty and students alike. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF SISTER, STANISLAUS, R.N., Sc.D. Director, Sisters ' Division SISTER HENRIETTA, R.N., M.S.
