St. Helena Sanitarium Commencement Exercises
The commencement exercises for the class of 1913, at the St. Helena Sanitarium hospital, were held in the sanitarium chapel, the evening of April 8, 1913. The chapel, which was tastefully decorated throughout for the occasion, was crowded to its utmost capacity. Elder M. C. Wilcox, of Mountain View, delivered the commencement address, following which Dr. George Thomason made a few appropriate remarks upon the presentation of the diplomas. The graduating class was the largest in the history of the institution; namely, Miss Florence Lillard, Miss Margaret Gunn, Miss Grace Van Horne, Miss Inga Louise Larsen, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Wesner, Mr. Alfred Sargeant, Mr. Alfred Deans Fowler, Mr. Floyd Harris, Mr. Karl Murphy, and Mr. Charles Lindbloom. The violin solo by Miss Paap and the music rendered by the orchestra were greatly appreciated.
