C8611 One of the social events of the commence- ment week was the tea, given at the Mayo Foun- dation House, on May 17, for the graduating classes of the Methodist-Kahler and St. Marys Schools of Nursing. At the door each guest was presented with a rose. Everyone was invited to wander through this historic house and the beautiful gardens. Tea was served in Balfour Hall. The famous stained glass window, in which the salient events in the history of medi- cine are presented, was particularly interesting. The tea in the quiet, sedate atmosphere of the Mayo Foundation House, with its historical significance, will forever linger in the minds of the 1955 seniors as one of the memorable events of our commencement. Marilyn Erickson Class of '55 ecceptiioin On the afternoon of commencement day, May 21, a reception was given in honor of the graduating class, their families and friends, by the Methodist-Kahler School of Nursing. The reception was held in the parlors of the First Methodist Church. Bouquets of spring flowers were used for decorating the coffee and punch tables. Approximately 425 people attended.
