90 EL ARCHIVERO CLOSING EXERCISES HE seventieth year came to a close in a series of easy stages. The spread- out examination schedule ended June sixth. That same evening Lillian Hellman's Montserrat was given a second performance in the new auditor- ium. Sunday evening we followed last yearis precedent and had the Bacca- laureate Service at dusk. Our speaker, Dr. Ganse Little, pastor of the Pasadena Presbyterian Church, spoke about the fish that did not get away . This was a talk on sharing our ideas and abilities. Held Monday evening was the Farewell Banquet followed by- the custo- mary awards and speeches. The gathering dispersed after the singing of Do- mine and The Banquet Song . Tuesday morning the academic procession was ushered to the Outdoor Theatre by marshals Gates and Bryan. The opening prayer was read by Chris Henze, and Leo Acquistapace read On Friendship from The Prophet by Gibran. Mr. Chase then introduced the faculty for the commendations. Awards and prizes were next in the proceedings. Then came the headmaster's comments on the schoolg its current status and progress. The standing andl singing of Knightsbridge made the rocks seem more comfortable while the scholastic prizes and diplomas were awarded. The multitudes then adjourned to the plaza next to the dining room for a sumptuous buffet prepared by Quong and his staff. Immediately following the meal came the farewells and the exodus. The Upper Upper caravan paused in foto at the Cottage Hospital to see Mr. Miller before departing.
