, ,Ml Capping l solemnly pledge myself before God and in the presence of this assembly: To pass my life in purity . . . With these words fifteen student nurses began in unison to repeat the Florence Nightingale pledge, by which every professional nurse is expected to live. The symbolic lamps in their hands shone as brightly as the solemn happiness on their faces. In the assembly of relatives and friends a few tears were shed at this momentous time in the young women's lives. The event was the ceremony during which the freshmen students receive their nurse's caps. This long-awaited moment means more to the student than any other single episode in their three year course. After having been on probation for approxi- mately seven months, the women feel a certain sense of achievement when they are capped. As the fifteen student nurses walked back down the aisle of the church, their hearts were uplifted in a prayer to God that they would always endeavor to fulfill the ideals of their pledge. . . . With loyalty will I endeavor to aid the physician in his work, and devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care.

Freshman Page September 4, 1956, was the day on which eighteen bewildered girls entered nurses' train- ing at Flower Hospital. ln a period of three short months these same frightened girls-after expe- riencing initiation by the upperclossmen-adiusb ing to hospital life, and entering the University of Toledo for the college part of their training- had changed into young women. Time passed quickly and soon the trials of the first semester had faded away to become a part of the memories that everyone seems to cherish. Semester number two found the young women working harder than ever. Capping, which they thought would never arrive, was no longer far in the future. They were certain that after this event and many adiustments which must be made by freshmen students, their most difficult part of nurses' training would be a thing of the past. i 717 YYY,--.,.1n,,i7 15-
