tance o f several of her classmates, indi cated that a good many pages o f the story of the past will be required to record the deeds o f this remarkable class. A. Law rence Silcock, with Hugh Peterson as his fellow prophet, looked far enough into the future to persuade the audience that the hundred or more, men and women of ’28 will be heard from shortly in the ■world’s affairs. Glass pictures were pre sented by George M. Dawe of the Day School and Robert M. Wright o f the Evening School and accepted by the Dean in a few gracious, words. Other events, including the singing o f “ The School of the Golden West,” crowded the full pro gram. — o — Unsurpassed Graduation Exercises ■ The graduating exercises of the class of ’28 were held in the Auditorium, Tuesday evening, June 12th. Never has the Bible Institute presented a finer program on ,such an occasion. A class o f 144 young men and women representing both the Day and Evening Schools of thè' Institute were sent out into Christian service with the blessing of God upon them. They came to the .Institute from many states of the Union and from foreign lands and are going out to serve in the near and far fieldsi??1; ■The class, o f ’28 comes within four of being the largest graduating class in the history of the Institute. The, class speak ers were as follows : “The Women o f the Class” by Magdalen A. Stuzmann, “ The Men of the Class” by Jesse W . Baker, “ The Class o f 1928” by George R. Dawe, “The Evening School” by Ethel-; L. Brookes, “The Post Graduates” by Oscar Gillan. A pleasing feature of the evening was the singing of the class song, “In Him We Live,” by the class. The words were writ- den by Margaret R. Clarke; the music by Magdalena van Teylingen, and the chorus was led by Miss van Teylingen, with Mrs. Lillian Robinson at the piano and Mar jorie; E. Thornton at the organ.
A Happy Commencement
Season at Biola
Happy Alumni Gathering The afternoon and evening of Monday o f Commencement Week, June 11th, were given, over to the Alumni Association, and their friends. Professor J. B. Trow bridge was in charge of the more or less informal program of music at 2 :30. Fol lowing the devotional service several business matters of importance were cared for by the association. By a prac tically unanimous vote, the association passed a resolution strongly endorsing Dean Maalnnis and the present policy of administration. A decision was reached authorizing the publication o f a quarterly “News Letter” to carry news items from the Alumni family over the world and other matters of interest to the B. I. family. Such a quarterly will serve to continue the work ably carried on for So many years by Mr. W. A. Hillis through his “Family Letter.” The Alumni dinner was largely attend ed and a fine spirit of friendship pre vailed. The praise and fellowship ser vice following drew the largest audience for such an event in the history o f B. I. Missionaries from all over the world brought their testimonies. There was grayer; much of it. There was music brought by individuals and groups. The Dean, John M. Maclnnis, spoke the in terest of the Institute in those who have gone out from the classrooin. The com munion service closed a wonderfully help ful program.

Hundreds of friends found this evening an opportunity to wish the club well on its long eastern trip. —o— Combined Clubs in Concert The first event of commencement week and one of the most enjoyable of the whole season was the evening o f music presented by the combined Men’s and Women’s Glee Clubs with assisting musi cians from the music department?;.
