24 THE HYAK THE COMMENCEMENT . On Wednesday morning, June 11, the many friends and patrons of the school gathered together to witness the eighteenth annual commencement. The impressive, yet simple sendees which brought the formal termination of the school life of the six graduates, the Misses Lawler, Kautz, Hubbard, Posner, Vaeth and Loomis, were held in the chapel at 10 o’clock. The students and teachers entered from the gymnasium singing “Ancient of Days,” and all arranged themselves in the front of the room. The whole ceremony was of a religious character and the principal interest was centered in the ad- dress of Bishop Keator. The bishop took as his text the school motto, “From Strength to Strength,” and dwelt at length on the deep significance of the words. Following the address Rubenstein’s “Voices of the Woods” was given by the school chorus. After this came the presentation of the diplomas. In a few happy words the Bishop gave to each girl that precious bit of parchment which is the culmination and reward of the years of labor. A most happy surprise was then given the girls, when the Bishop, turning around, took six golden crosses, symbolic gifts from the school, and placed one around the neck of each girl. The school hymn. “Go Forward Christian Soldiers,” was sung by the school and the program concluded by a prayer and the recessional, “On Our Way Rejoicing.” ALUMNAE NOTES . The sixth annual alumna? banquet was held at the Tacoma Hotel Wednesday evening, June 11, to welcome the new mem- bers. Miss Caughran, the president, acted as toast mistress, and toasted the new class. The toast was responded to by Miss Kautz. Mrs. Beebe then gave a toast to Mrs. Raynor, who an- swered it in her sweet little way. The letters from the absent members were read and discussed. Then an informal program was given in which Miss Davies, Mrs. Carmine, Mrs. Graff and Miss Turner took part. The class of ’02 also sang their class song. Those present were Miss Caughran, ’88; Mrs. M. W. Graff, ’90; Mrs. C. M. Riddell, ’90; Mrs. W. H. Carmine, 90, of Pendleton, Ore. ; Mrs. Albert C. Phillips, ’90; Mrs. V. Hayden, ’93; Mrs. W. G.
