Julia Ward Howe was born on
May 27, 1819, and reached the
age of 91 when she died in 1910.
She is noted for her patriotism
»nd idealism expressed in the
haem and song “The Battle Hymn
of the Republic.” She visited an
*rmy post near Washington short
ly after the beginning of the Civil
War in 1861. She heard the weary
soldiers singing “John Brown’s
Body" as they returned to camp.
She wrote for same music the
poem that became the anthem of
the North.
The Prom was a beautiful and
pleasant occasion. A grand cano
py of streamers of alternate blue
md white, arranged in a hip roof
design, softened the ceiling lines.
The fan-shaped arrangement of
Preamers covering the west wall
added more color to the occasion.
The baccalaureate service on
Sunday evening. May 22nd, at
ught o’clock was well attended.
The platform was beautifully
decorated with flowers and ferns.
Additional streamers arranged in
) fan-shaped manner gave an add
touch to the stage as well as
the bold, two foot numerals, 1949
pinned on the drop curtains. The
address by Rev. Murphy, S.J., was
very good. The words of admoni
tion to the seniors and all present
were valuable.
Final examinations took place
on Monday and Tuesday. It is cus
tomary to exempt Seniors from
the last examinations. Correcting
and grading of papers kept the
teachers very busy.
Wednesday morning at nine
o’clock, the students left their
usual realm of study to seek the
pleasures of the outdoors, when
they went on their picnic. Mr.
Willet was kind to take us out in
his large green truck to Anvil
Mountain. We climbed the moun- j
tain and played games at the old |
hospital.
New shelves have been installed
in the library and a large three
foot picture frame holds the
“Bill of Rights” in the assembly
hall.
Thursday evening, we saw our
eight seniors receive their diplo- j
mas. The seniors who graduated j
last night were: Margaret A. j
Bjornstad, Aarnout A. Castel,;
Gary T. Longley, Edward B. O’-1
Connor, Lois K. Overbough, Rob- j
ert Rose, Jennie L. Sayers, and j
ALASKA SS. FINANCES
TO BE INVESTIGATED
WASHINGTON (>P)—Rep. Jack
son, Washington Democrat, told
the House today its merchant ma
rine committee plans to investi
gate the financial affairs of the
Alaska Steamship Co., and the
Northland Transportation Co. The
two companies operated Alaska
shipping service temporarily un
der an agreement with the mari
time commission.
Jackson said the Alaska Steam
ship company reported between
May 1, 1947, and Dec. 31, 1948, it
made a profit of $678,093 before
federal income taxes but that the
audit by the commission placed
the concern’s profits at $1,348,716.1
The commission told Rep. Jack- j
son, he said, that its audit showed
$180,000 of the company’s profit
resulted from ship repairs in their
own yard. Jackson did not go into
Northland’s profit in his state-1
ment to the House.
