Commencement - June 17, 1911

Rita's Entry
Saturday June 17, 1911
Rain, rain!  In afternoon I planned to call on Miss Abbott.  Too much dampness.  Went to Sylvia's for "a few minutes."  Talked for an hour and a half!  Commencement Program was fine.  No flowers!  Why buy them after making such strong remarks to the contrary?  Not as happy as I might be.

IN RITA'S DAY:  I thought I might have a copy of the Commencement Program, but no such luck. I did find the above notice of Rita's completion of her courses.  She took the teaching exam and passed as the diary said in May.  I also found a picture of the envelope in which the notice of her graduation came... but the actual notice (in the envelope) has gone missing...
