A DAUGHTER
 OF THE NORTH

In the Seattle Times of May g, 1915, is a comprehensive write up of the student Year Book, of the University of Washington, and included in it is half tone group picture of the editor, Miss Lena White, and her five able assistants, among whom is Emil Hurja, well known in the north as a descrip- tive magazine writer. Miss White comes honestly by her abilities m the line of her work, for she is the daughter of one of the best known and most versatile newspaper writ CTS in the north, E. J. White of the Whitehorse Star. Of this talented and accomplished daughter of the great region which lies almost within The confines of the Arctic Cir cle, for having lived the major part of her life in Skagway, Dawson, and WhItehorse we feel we can right fully give her this title, the Times says:
 Numbering about 500 pages re- plete with excellent features, the 1915 Tyee which will make it's ap- pearanca on the campus during the first week of June is said to be the most attractive annual ever issued In the history of the university. In the opinion of those who have seen advance copies of the book, the general excellency of the makeup, photographs and material has few equals in the annals of other col leges.
 Miss Lena White, editor of the Tyee has endeavored to make the 1915 year book distinctly different from preceding annuals. An at tempt was made to obtain snap shots of campus celebrities and hap penings and this department is eX- pected to prove very popular with tho students.
 To untiring efforts Of Miss Lena White, editor of the 1915 Tyee, the success of the annual is solely at tributed. Although carrying a par ticularlv heavy scholastic course, Miss White has sacrificed a great deal>of it in order to edit a book which would surpass any former an- nual and it is the belief of those who havo seen the 1915 Tyee, that she has beenI successful. Miss White s a senior in the department in journalism and a member of Theta Sigma Phi, honorary women's jour nalism sorority. Her home is in Whitehorse, Y. T. Miss White is the third coed to edit the Tyee in the past three years.

The graduating exercises of the eighth grade of the Skagway pub lie school toos place at Elks' hall Igst night, commencing at S;S0.

 The program was opened with 8 musical selection by Prof. o. Sel- mer's orchestra, followed by an i'm ptessive invocation by the Rev. L. II. Pedersen.
 The four epochs in An Historic Review" as portrayed iu recitation by Emerson Rogers, Gertrude Liddicoat, Sarah Frieden- t5aI and Joseph Pedersen, were all warmly aDplauded and showed that much care had been talk eu by the teachers in the training of the graduates and that the latter had responded iu a manner to reflect credit upon themselves as well as upln their instructors.
