His Excellency, the Most Reverend Paul J. Hallinan, archbishop of
Atlanta, will preside at the sixty-first graduation exercises of St.
Joseph’s Infirmary School of Nursing today, at 5 p.m. at Sacred heart
Church. Archbishop Hallinan will also address the graduating class.
In 1900 a formal training school was established as an integral
part of the hospital. The program at that time was a two-year school of
nursing. The first class of 1902 graduated only five nurses; today, sixty-one
years later, forty-four nurses will receive their graduate pins and diplomas
after successfully completing a thirty-six months course of study.
Among the forty-four to graduate on July 25 will be Mr. Denson C.
