Address Bishop Keator 6. “Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean” School o The Bishop’s address was most interesting and appreciated by all. Miss Gallagher read beautifully. May 17th, Friday, was the day of our annual school picnic. We went to American Lake, leaving the Seminary at eleven in a special ear. The day was perfect and most of the day was spent in rowing and bathing. We returned to the Seminary about 8:30 p. m. Saturday, May 25th, the Seniors returned the Prom by giving the Juniors an automobile ride up the mountain road. Although rain showered or poured at intervals, a more delightful time could not be imagined. We left the Seminary at 1:30 p. m. Owing to muddy roads, we could not get through, so we turned and went to American Lake. An exciting event was the stopping of Miss Fitch’s car by the “ speed cop” for speeding. We went to the head of the lake, where we had dinner and very delicious everything tasted, for we had been motoring all afternoon. After dinner we started for home, arriving at the Seminary about nine. May 25th was brightened by the Studio and Harmony class picnics; the former at American Lake and the latter at Spanaway. “O ' ' O ' ' O ' On May 4th Misses Lund, LeVeque, Ferguson and Seeber enter- tained the Seniors with a Bacon Bat at Steilacoom Lake. -O ' O ' O ' The studio exhibit was in the gymnasium from four to six and from seven to eight Saturday, June 8th.
