they have really nice auditorium for anyone who immediately pictured an Ethal Murman style graduation

Okay, first, the water ballet person was Ethel Waters.

Second, Ethel Merman was the big voiced actress who played in a bazillion productions of Annie Get Your Gun, and it's three "e"s and one "a" and absolutely no "u".

But, if you had had an Ethel Waters-style graduation, that I would have paid big bucks to see.
