Holy Cross Nursing Students To Graduate Sunday

76 Young Women Receiving Diplomas

Record Number Of Graduates

The 1964 grduating class is the largest in the history of the Holy Cross Hospital school of nursing.
And future classes will also be smaller, hospital officials say, due to curtailment of February entrance to the course. The 1964 class is the last to include students from the double entry system. Now students are accepted in September only.


Culmination of three years of study will come this weekend for 76 young women from Saskatchewan and Alberta.
During a solemn ceremony Sunday night, the 76-- including 16 from Calgary-- will officially become nursing graduates of the Holy Cross Hospital School of Nursing.
Diplomas will be presented on the stage of the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium before an expected capacity audience of friends and relatives.

The graduation exercises-- the 54th annual for the Holy Cross-- will be the highlight of a weekend of events honoring the graduates. The ceremony starts at 8 p.m. Sunday.
Saturday the new graduates will be guests of the school's nursing students organization at a graduation banquet.
Mass will be offered at 4 p.m. Sunday by Father Ignatius Lever in the hospital chapel.
The girls themselves, many of whom have left Calgary to work in various parts of Canada and the U.S., will be getting together for informal reunions with former classmates during their return to the city.
Chairman for the Sunday ceremony will be Dr. T. C. Saunders, president the Holy Cross Hospital's medical staff.

Dr. Herbert S. Armstrong, president the University of Alberta, Calgary, will give the address to the graduates. Dr. Irial Gogan, Holy Cross medical director, will be assisted by Sister Marguerite Letourneau, director of nursing education, in the presentation of diplomas.
Representing Mayor Grant MacEwan and bringing the city's greetings to the graduates will be Alderman Mark Tennant.
Ald. Tennant will also make the presentation of special awards-- which are kept secret until the ceremony-- assisted by Mrs. E. E. Bland, who is assistant director of nursing education.

The valedictory address will be delivered by Elaine Stepak of Edmonton, president of the student association.
Included in the program will be several selections by the school glee club, under the direction of Keith Wood and accompanied by Victoria Scheuerman.
A reception following, in the Jubilee Auditorium concourse, will conclude the evening.
The Holy Cross Hospital School of Nursing opened in 1907 and the first graduates-- four in number-- received their diplomas Feb. 8, 1910.
Including the 1964 graduating class, the school has now trained a total of 1,8000 young women.


This year's class, comprised of more than 60 from various points in Alberta, and the remainder from Saskatchewan, includes two girls who were awarded Herald nursing scholarships in December, 1961.
They are Bernice Fontana of Coleman, Alta., and Erika Fredrich of Picture Butte, Alta.
In order to qualify students must have senior matriculation and be accepted by one of the two nursing schools in the city.
