Gonzaga College continued to celebrate its silver jubilee (25th anniversary) with a huge reunion of faculty and alumni.
There was a solemn jubilee Mass and an alumni banquet.
The big evening event was a presentation of an original play titled “Vincontius” or “In the Shadow of the Cross.”
More than 150 Gonzaga students made up the cast of the play, which was held in the Auditorium Theater.
Commencement ceremonies were also held for the 18 graduates of Gonzaga’s commercial program (today we would call them business majors).
The keynote speech was on “The Essentials of Business Success.”

SALEM – A bug that attacks fruit crops and has caused major damage in the eastern United States has shown up this month in the Oregon towns Hood River and Rogue River, both in Orchard County.
The brown marmorated stink bug has been in the United States since the 1990s and in Oregon since 2004. But the latest reports are worrisome because the bugs are now near famous cherry, apple and pear crops in the Columbia Gorge and Southern Oregon, according to the agricultural publication the Capital Press.
“This thing is a major agricultural pest, and it goes after orchard crops,” Oregon State University entomologist Peter Shearer said. “We suspect there is an infestation that has started in Hood River.”
In addition to orchard fruit crops, the pest attacks wine grapes and hazelnuts, Shearer said, putting at risk two prominent Willamette Valley crops.
The insect is believed to have come from Asia. It feeds on crops, rendering them unsellable, and the damage it causes provides entry points for pathogens. It spreads by hitching rides on vehicles. It was first found in Oregon eight years ago in Portland. It has since been found in Salem, Corvallis, Sandy, Troutdale, Arlington, and in Deschutes County. The pest also has been found in Vancouver, Wash., and near Longview, Wash., and it was recently found in Idaho for the first time, in Nampa. Shearer said it took several years for the pest to expand from cities to crops in the mid-Atlantic region, but when it did, the effects were substantial.
