THE ANNIE WRIGHT SEMINARY TACOMA, WASHINGTON THE ALMA MATER I Hail to tKee. our Alma Mater. Seminary fair; May achievements crown tKy labors Is our earnest prayer. Chorus : Hearts turned toward our AImn Mntor May our hves at length Prove thy daughters bear thy motto, On from Strength to Strength. 11 Deep and true as those blue waters Tliou art reared above. May the characters thou moldest Hold thee in their love. Chorus: III Pure as yonder snow-clad mountains Where our glances fall. May we in the years to follow Answer to thy call. Chorus : MISS SARAH B. THOMPSON This year for the first time in thirty years Miss Sarah B. Thompson did not return to her Seminary tasks. Her retirement has made us all more keenly aware than ever before of the brightness that her presence gave the school. We beheve we speak for all who knew her when we say that through the years she has become a part of the very heart and soul of The Annie Wright Seminary. We therefore dedicate this Shield to her in deep appre- ciation of her gaiety and graciousness, her never-failing warmth and gen- erosity, and her years of loval and dev ret sen icc. FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH THROUGH ORDERED COMINGS AND GOINGS THROUGH CLOISTERED LAUGHTER, WORK AND PLAY AROUND THE BEND ON MAY DAY TO MINDS AT PEACE IN QUIET MEDITATION TOWARD EXPANDING VISTAS OF BEAUTY AND TRUTH MISS RUTH JENKINS, HEADMISTRESS The eyes that guide us see beyond our daily needs, from ready humor to the spirit ' s depths.

Tree planting is a part of the Commencement ceremonies for the Class of 1954, just as it was for the above-picrured class of 1904, as it has been in the years between and will be in the years to follow. But time.honored and meaningful as this custom has become, for us this year there will be a change, for the person whose guidance in the tree planting had become as much a pan of the school as the tradition itself, will not be here. ARTHUR O. REYNOLDS 1878 - 1954 Anhur Reynolds, who for thirty years was the gardener for The Annie Wright Seminary, was also the last member of the Staff linking the Semi- nary of today with the old school. His death this spring deprived us of one whose many contribu- dons to our school now become their own best tribute to his memory and lie all about us in the beauty of the grounds he planned and so devoted- ly labored to maintain. Though we miss him, he cannot be truly gone while the loveliness he brought about remains, and for this same reason we know his work was its own reward for him. We have been enriched not only by his example but by our d.iiU mioymcnr of what his efforts achieved. The Seventieth Class to graduate from The Annie Wright Seminary has reached, as every class must, the end of its particular activities. Half in reluctance, half in pleasure we write finis to this scroll, knowing that our affectionate memories live not only in the record we leave behind but in the aspirations we take with us into the future.
