These are the Guild of St. Ansgar and the Guild of St. Lucia.

While holding the symbolic candle of purity, the candidates recite the pledge of purity, devotion and service. Impressive Ceremony Credits Nurses On Sunday, May 6th, the Annual Gustavus Nurses' Capping Ceremony sent twenty-three Sophomore nurses onto the second half of their training. Rev. Clair Johnson preached a stimulating sermon before a large crowd of well-wishers assembled in Christ Chapel. The ceremony consisted of capping by the Senior nurses followed by the Florence Nightingale pledge. Miss Doris G. Stucke, head of the Nursing Department, presented the class for capping after leading them through two years of intensive study in nursing and the liberal arts. After Gustavus the girls spend their last two years of study at Bethesda Lutheran Hospital in St. Paul. I It is indeed a moment of joy to see the battle half won as the girls receive their honors. After receiving their caps the girls receive their candles from Miss Stucke and Mrs. Bloomquist.

This year's debaters proved themselves well worthy of the Pi Kappa Delta honor they won last year. While not finishing as high nationally this year, the debate squad, coached by William Robertz, nevertheless presented a forboding case to all their opponents while winning over 75 per cent of their debates. In addition to the debate squad, Hap LeVander and Myrna Zielske were accorded fourth and second places respectively in the national oratory contest held at Northwestern University during the Easter vacation. Luther Luedke seems to be pointing out a fact of interest to debate coach William Robertz as Donna Seeclerburg looks on. Debate Team Ably Represents GA Confusion seems to be the order of the moment as Dr. Robertz attempts to explain a point to Hap LeVander. t f 4 4 l l l The card catalogue gets a thorough going-over as Gary Anderson and Hap LeVander prepare research for their next debate.
