A Symbol of Achievement For sixty-five freshmen, March 18 was a long awaited for date. For the class of 1985 the date symbolizes the end of life as probies and evi- dence of being one step closer to their common dreams of being registered nurses. Wearing Parkview's cap symbolizes achievement to those who have the honor of receiving it. Place- ment ofthe cap for the first time on this date is a proud and satisfying event. March 18, 1983, was the date of the thirtieth annual capping ceremony of Parkview-Methodist School of Nursing. The ceremony was held at New Haven United Methodist Church. Following an address by Rev. Dean Stucky, the class was presented by advi- 16 CAPPING sor Denise Kennedy. Each student was intro- duced by class advisor Carolyn Dayton and capped by Donna Goings, assistant director of the school of nursing. Rita Enyeart, student council president, then lit each student's Lamp of Learning. Susan Matter provided musical entertainment by singing The Lord's Prayer. The annual capping award was presented to Amy Fee by David Ridderheim, administrator of Parkview Memorial Hospital. The award is tra- ditionally presented to one freshman student for academic achievement and clinical potential. A reception for students, family, and friends was held at English Hall following the ceremony as students celebrated their accomplishments.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touchedg they must be felt with the heart. This quote by Helen Keller appeared on the program from the annual Junior'Senior Banquet and in a special way set the tone for the evening. The banquet was held at Don Hall's Guesthouse in Fort Wayne. Juniors had decorated the tables with flower arrangements, programs, the senior class motto adorned the wallg and all seniors received corsages. Seniors, juniors, and their dates attended the banquet which included a dinner of swiss steak, potatoes, broccoli, salad, and pie for dessert, After dinner, seniors shared memorable exper- iences and their plans for the future with everyone present. Juniors then gave the seniors bookmarkers to be used when reading enjoyable books. The music was then put on and everyone enjoyed dancing for the rest of the evening. The seniors enjoyed the evening and appreciated the hard work that the juniors went through in order to make the banquet a success. The banquet was a beautiful way to honor the seniors, it was something that was tangible, but it was also something that was felt with the heart. The banquet is another example of the magnetism between students at Parkview. 18 JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET
