Zhe 1957 Caps Capes CHARITY HOSPITAL SCHOOL OF NURSING New Orleans, La Days once passed can never come again-but Memories preserved in this book forever will live. Yester¬ day ' s trials light tomorrow ' s dr earns as we vividly scope our future. Dedication As we walk down the pathway of life, it is rare indeed to find someone whose kind understanding, endless patience and true unselfish devotion is an inspiration to all humanity. But such an individual does exist among us here at Charity. And to her, we the staff wish to dedicate this, the 1957 Caps And Capes, Miss Grace Grafton. We hope that this dedication, in some small measure, will help to express the unbound¬ ed esteem which we have for her in our hearts. Miss Qrace Qraft oh fltl L ' f l f!m .
