16 NORMAL OFFERING COMMENCEMENT, 1922. Promenade, June 9. Faculty Reception, June 16. Baccalaureate, June 18. Graduation, June 19. THE PROMENADE. Friday, June 9, Was a day of eager anticipation on the part of the Seniors, and of bustling activity for the undergraduates, Whose duty it Was to see that the gymnasium looked its best, for the great event to take place. Evening did arrive at last! 'iProm was an actuality! The Albert Gardner Boyden Gymnasium Was at its best in daisies and pine boughs. At the campus end stood the receiving line--Mr. and Mrs. Boyden, Miss Pope, and the class presidents, Elizabeth Shaw, Grace Fletcher, and Doris Cahoon. But what is the use of trying to describe a Prom ? It is enough to say that every girl there did the Alma Mater credit, both as a model of behaviour and as a picture of style and good taste. Judging from the conversations which took place in the dormitories the next day, therenever, never Was, and never, never, never Will be another Prom like that one. - FACULTY RECEPTION. The Faculty Reception is an occurrence partially veiled to all but the privileged eyes of the graduating classes. This year it Was held Friday, June 16. With no longer the barrier of class Work and reci- tations between them, the Faculty and the Seniors met for one last evening of friendly social intercourse. After the reception, the Seniors gathered in the Quadrangle, according to custom, and for the last time sang Alma Mater. Then they quietly Went to their rooms and silence settled for a short time. As soon as all was quiet, the lower classmen quickly gathered on the South Field, and serenaded the Seniors, as a token of their love and respect for them.
