Graduating Exercises at the Glendale (Cal.) Sanitarium

By J. J. WESSELS

THE graduating exercises of the 1909 class of the Glendale Sanitarium Training School for Missionary Nurses took place on Tuesday, June 1, at 8 P. M. The following-named workers finished their three-year course of training at this time, and were granted diplomas: Lena May Butcher, of Michigan; Sophia Weldon Conway, of Colorado; Evangeline Frances Dickson, of New York; Elizabeth Frances Drummond, of California; Frances Deborah Johnson, of South Dakota; Edythe Beatrice Jones, of Australia; Lillian Mildred Rose, of Louisiana; Mary Verne Sanborn, of Michigan; Ellis Carlton Silsbee, of Kansas; Alma Josephine Youngquist, of Nebraska.

Several of these workers returned to their respective homes with the view of taking a needed vacation before entering on their life-work. Some of them are planning to obtain further training before taking definite positions in the work. Others have already obtained positions in connection with some of our institutions. A few are planning to prepare themselves for work in the African and other mission fields.

Altogether, the exercises passed off in a very satisfactory and creditable manner. Those present and the members of the class will long remember the occasion. The faculty is extremely desirous that these workers may ever walk in the way of truth, and follow out the Scriptural injunction found in Matt. 28: 19, 20. J. J. WESSELS.
