It all began after the festivities Wednesday night Jan. 25, the Alumni Banquet. It was snowing when the banquet began but no one expected a repeat of the previous year. All reported to work as usual on Thursday and Friday mornings to help out in the hospital since many employ- ees could not make it in to work even with the help of snowmobiles and 4-wheel drive trucks. One main worry haunted the entire class — “What will happen with graduation?” It had been scheduled for Sunday Jan. 29. Baccalaureate Mass was to be at 11:30 in St. Paul’s Cathedral and graduation ceremony at 2:30 at Wayne High School. Plans were changed after a vote taken among the Senior class. The ceremony was held Friday night at 7:30 in the hospital chapel. Fr. Thomas Fortkamp officiated the ceremony and delivered the commencement address to the graduates and underclassmen, who were present along with a few patients and staff members. Sr. Kathleen conferred the diplomas. A small party followed in the School of Nursing audito- rium. A special ceremony was held in the lounge for several of the out-students who could not make it in on the following Monday. Everyone was able to make it to State Boards. Thankfully, since more snow had been predicted. So, to the class of '79, ‘Try and fool Mother Nature and the snow!” 55 THE NIGHTENGALE PLEDGE | solemnly pledge myself before God and in the presence of this assembly: To pass my life in purity and to practice my profession faithfully. | will abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous, and will not take or knowingly administer any harmful drug. | will do all in my power to maintain and elevate the standard of my profession, and will hold in confidence all personal matters committed to my keeping, and all family affairs coming to my knowledge in the practice of my profession. With loyalty will 1 endeavor to aid the physician in his work, and devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care. Dy, Friends are made for laughter. Made for truths That were never told. To know beliefs you could never hold. Friends — to show the way On a dark road. Made to carry half the load. A friend is one who can listen And not just hear. A friend who is always Somewhere near. May the Lord always bless them As they go on their way. As they bring constant happiness From day to day. Pam Doherty DONORS PATRONS Miss Ann Cavinder Ear, Nose Throat Associates, Inc. Dr. Luman W.
