Fret, in her song, Happy Birding,
sustained an already well earned repu
tation and gave evidence of the talen
which won for her gold medal .fel
greatest improvement in music. hel

Miss Myra H. Wood, in her clas:
poem, 'The Friends Thou Hast, is sale
by some who know her to have spokeI
EEK abundantea cordis'' She mirrored
they say, a genial disposition and SIN
cere nature in her well-culled thoughts
L. Etudiant Paurre" was splen-
did performance and special congratd-
lations may be rendered Misses D. NJ
Kinney, Miss H. Pollock and Miss Miss
ler A splendid selection was splendidly
| performed.
After Miss Gridley had scored her
last triumph with "Wen Gaily Sing
and Play" accompanied by bright Miss
| Pollock and chorus, class medals were
awarded.
AS each glittering prize shone in the
! hands of Bishop Scanlan a bright, sun
ny face appeared and a reverent form
knelt to receive the gift with graft
! tude. Miss Nyra H. Wood deserves spe-
cial mention as the recipient of three
/ gold medals.
In her valedictory, 1.-The Time Needs
Heart" Miss Anna O'Brien gave a fin
| ishing touch to the beautiful monu-
ment. 1t was not simply a Juggling of
words, as valedictOries too often are,
nor a mere burst of sentiment, but
good, sound philosophic ideas formed
the groundwork of her production,
which she crowned with grateful ac-
acknowledgement of the untiring zeal of
those who were responsible for her
success and that of her companions.
Bishop Scanlan, in his own Jealous,
earnest way, closed the exercises with
an address. More willing to teach and
elevate than to praise, he gave sound,
philosophic Christian advice to those
bright girl graduates. He explained
fully and eXhorted them to carry out
faithfully the spirit of the words ito
thine own self be true
In the afternoon the Sisters enter
tanned the members of the alumnae at
tea. 1t was a very enjoyable reunion.
The ladies, to prove that their inter-
est in their Alma Mater did not solve
itself into merely platonic sympathy,
presented the Mother Superior with a
beautiful gold monstrance.
May our home people continue to pat
ronize their home institution literally,
Just as the American need not cross
the ocean to feast his eyes on beauti-
full scenery so do the daughters of the
west need not cross the Rocky noun
tains to acquire a ffrst-class, noble ed
ucation.
