June, 1907

THIRTY-TWO young men and women who have completed the course at the State Normal School will march boldly to the front of the platform to receive the diplomas that certify their intellectual attainments at the Normal Auditorium Thursday, June 7. The close of commencement week will be marked by the exercises on Thursday, and the school will close its doors to the students who have finished the course. Almost every member of the senior class has already obtained a position for next year. Four of them go into the city schools of Bellingham to teach. Four go to Tacoma, two to Everett and three to Seattle. One goes to Prosser as teacher of manual training and history in the grammar grades of the public schools. One goes to Tacoma as ward principal, and one to Renton in the same capacity.
