party for graduation

Today, We held a party for graduation of members of M2 and D3 students in Fukami (Associate) laboratory, and also gave them presents.

For Watanebe kun(D3), we gave an umbrella with a view of the night sky.
For Itoh kun(M2), we gave stylish thermometer like him.
For Saino kun(M2), we gave body sponge to wash your body more and more beautiful than ever.
For Takahashi kun(M2), we gave a pair of mags for using with his partner.
For Wang kun(M2), we gave protain to be able to grow bigger.

 I have been indebted to a lot. And finally, thanks so much.

We wish you all the best in your place of work.
