Though some of us were unable to come, each class was represented, back to the first graduates who knew and loved the school when it was just start- ing on its march to victory. In eight years we have graduated from our be- loved Alma Mater enough girls to form an association that will bind us together and inspire us to continue the life work which began on ourCommencement Day. Mother Lorin, Madame Gannon, Madame Monk and Madame Mac- Swiney were present, and after an in- teresting informal talk with our Rev- erend Mother, we elected our officers for the ensuing year, as well as a Board of Councilors. The officers elected were: Frances Stanton, A. B., 1916 ........ President Elkhart, Ind. Frances Hill, A. B., 1916 ....... Vice-President Huntington, W. Va. Mary Reeves, 1916 ......,....1....1 Secretary Acton, N. C. Association Nellie Zimmerman, Lycee, 1916 ..... Treasurer Asheville, N. C. Adelaide Merrimon, 1915 ...,.1.,,.. Historian Asheville, N. C. The following were made Councilors: Frances Artz, 1915, Old Fort, N. C. Nellie Belote, 1915, Asheville, N. C. Mary Gibson, 1916, Charleston, S. C. Rebecca Cushing, 1915, Fletcher, N. C. It was decided that future reunions be held the day after Commencement Exercises. This ended the business meeting, and we spent the rest of our day revisiting our old haunts and getting the latest news of school life. At half-past one our first Alumnae banquet was served, after which we were entertained by some of our more talented members. As new members are added and our strength increases year by year, we in- tend to do great things. At present, one of our hopes is to establish a scholar- ship. For ourselves, we know that this tangible binding together will be a force to keep alive those high ideals and as- pirations which were before us in our school days and which we wish always to have in our hearts.
